Ro Li heard a slight noise.
Ro Li raised his head and noticed that a few skinny trash men had surrounded him from both front and back.
Looking at the steel pipes and machetes in their hands, it was obvious that they came with ill intentions.
"We saw you coming out of York's shop with something. Put down your things and you can go.”
The leader of the garbage men had a fierce expression and a hint of greed.
"Is this robbery?"
Ro Li asked.
"Nonsense! Hand it over if you want to live."
As if Ro Li didn't show any signs of threat, the trash guys took a few more steps forward, ready to move.
"Is that so?"
Ro Li let go of the drone and let it fly into the air.
A black muzzle extended from below the drone and slowly pointed at the leading garbage man.
"Well, now it's my turn to rob you.”
Clapping his hands, Ro Li looked at the leader of the trash men.
A few of Ro Li's trashy lackeys froze, not daring to move at all.
The leader of the garbage men was also stunned for a moment, but soon, a ferocious look flashed across his eyes.
He raised the machete in his hand and was about to slash.
"Don't be afraid. Such a small drone can't carry weapons at all."
"Bang!"
Before the leader of the garbage men could finish speaking, the drone's muzzle burst into flames.
A long and narrow bullet hit his forehead directly, interrupting his remaining words.
[System Notification: You have killed a normal life form. You have received experience points 1.]”
[System Notification: You have received the effect of the Machinery Hivemind. The experience gained has changed to 10.]”
Ro Li turned to look at the rest of the group.
"What about you guys? Do you want money or life?"
The trashman's underlings swallowed their saliva and put down their weapons in a trembling manner.
。。。。。。
After leaving the slums in the western suburbs, the surrounding environment immediately became better.
Using the money he had stolen from the garbage men, Ro Li called a taxi and headed to the machinery workshop in the southern industrial zone.
"Are you here to apply for a Mechanic position?"
The guard looked at the young man in front of him suspiciously.
"Yes, I am. My name is Ro Li, I am a beginner mechanic.”
Ro Li said calmly.
Under his control, the Rare-grade reconnaissance drone revealed its full combat mode and landed beside him.
Dark flowing light bloomed around his body.
"It's tenebrum energy."
As a military factory security guard who had dealt with Mechanics all year round, the guard quickly recognized that it was an ability unique to Mechanics.
His attitude relaxed, and a smile appeared on his face as he made a welcoming gesture.
"Alright then, welcome to join us. I'll bring you to the HR department to take the assessment.”
"Alright."
Ro Li nodded in a friendly manner and put the drone away in his backpack.
As a Level 2 rookie, he was still a long way from becoming a Level 10 Beginner Mechanic.
He had used up most of his psionic energy to boost the drone in just a few seconds.
If it had been a little longer, he would definitely have been exposed.
However, Ro Li wasn't worried that he would be exposed.
The assessment of the machinery manufacturing workshop was mainly to test one's manufacturing ability.
In this aspect, other than the fact that his psionic energy reserves were too low and he needed a long time to recover after making a mechanical item, he was not much different from an official Mechanic.
After he officially joined the team, he would have the Machinery Hivemind's 10 times EXP bonus. It wouldn't be long before Ro Li became a genuine Beginner Mechanic.
He didn't have to worry about not completing the quest given by the workshop.
Just as Ro Li had expected, the process of joining was very smooth.
Soon, Ro Li arrived at his personal workplace and dormitory.
The workshop gave Ro Li generous treatment.
The work room and dormitory were independent luxury suites, and all the daily necessities inside were high-end.
Just the value of these items alone was worth hundreds of thousands of gold eagle dollars.
If this sum of money was placed in the slums, it would be enough to form a mercenary team of 100 people.
Ro Li didn't stay in the dorm for long. After he got the access card, he went to his office.
The tools and raw materials in the workshop were all available, including the blueprints needed for production. They were all stored in the tablet.
As long as Ro Li was willing, he could start making them at any time.
"These are all experience points."
Ro Li's gaze swept across the shelves. The neat rows of raw materials were like a large amount of experience points that he was about to gain.
"Of course, there's also money."
The machinery manufacturing workshop calculated the prices of finished products and raw materials very precisely.
For an average Mechanic, the remuneration they earned was not considered generous.
However, there was almost no limit to the number of raw materials. The number of mechanical equipment that could be produced would be the number of raw materials that could be provided immediately.
It was an ideal place for commoners who wanted to train their abilities or for ordinary players who wanted to farm experience safely and happily.
But for Ro Li, it wasn't just that.
With the bonus of the Machinery Hivemind's characteristic 2, this kind of unlimited production could also bring an unimaginable amount of rare and elite equipment.
He only needed to pay for the cost of the materials for a piece of normal equipment. Ro Li could pocket the rest of the difference.
"Just nice, as a special supply for the officers. The workshop would also purchase high-quality standard equipment from the Mechanic at market price.”
"We don't even need to find another way to sell it.”
Ro Li thought about it for a while and didn't delay any longer.
He walked to the production table.
First, he entered the mechanical designs provided by the workshop into his system, then looked at the manufacturing mission.
He picked the simplest one and started to make it on the spot.
Three minutes later, a brand-new, normal-quality assault rifle appeared on the workbench.
[System Notification: You have successfully created an assault rifle, experience points 2.]”
[System Notification: You have received the effect of the Machinery Hivemind. The experience gained has changed to 20.]”
"The effect of raising the quality of the item has not been triggered.”
"I only have two initial experience points, which is even lower than the drone. This should be the mechanical item that gave the least EXP.”
Ro Li's expression was calm. He wasn't disappointed.
With an adequate supply of raw materials, the experience points of a single mechanical item did not matter much.
However, the consumption of psionic energy was a little unexpected.
Ro Li glanced at his character panel.
The psionic energy value on it had completely returned to zero after the assault rifle was manufactured.
It seemed that he couldn't continue in the short term.
He sighed.
He suppressed the impatience in his heart.
Ro Li found a place to sit down and closed his eyes to rest.
It would take a long time to recover the psionic energy.
At his current Mechanic Apprentice level, Ro Li's psionic energy could only recover a little every ten minutes.
The psionic energy consumed to make an assault rifle should be between 6 to 8 points according to the actual operation.
It was stuck at the level 2 character's 8 psionic energy limit.
This meant that he would have to wait for at least an hour before Ro Li could make the next piece of equipment.
"If nothing goes wrong, I should be able to reach Level 8 by tomorrow night.”
"At that time, the psionic energy recovered every night can be used during the day. You don't have to worry about wasting time.”
"The first stage of the novice stage is considered complete.”
"And before that, let's just make him happy for a day and a night.”
