Chapter 466: Chapter 213: Encounter Xia Heng Again_2
"Additionally, if you need cybernetic prosthetics, we can provide those, too, up to A-minus grade," said a Quenching Fire Gang member. "Our gang has professional cybernetic physicians."
Gao Xin passed the screen to Luo Yan. Such minor tasks were not worth his personal attention, and he had no skills in design.
However, he exclaimed in surprise, "A-minus grade? That’s equivalent to a young elephant, right? You can actually manufacture cybernetic prosthetics of that level?"
Suddenly, a burly man barged into the room, laughing, "Haha... it’s not exactly manufacturing, but cobbling together some AI creations to assemble a set of prosthetics is no problem."
The newcomer was the man who had gone to greet the Grey Mist earlier, now dressed in the impressive Fiery Fire Mecha.
"Is that so? Seems like Yamaguchi Village is a real crouching tiger, hidden dragon," Gao Xin said with a faint smile.
The one-eyed man stood up and said, "Gang Leader..."
The burly man nodded slightly and took a seat opposite Gao Xin, "Tai Sui Gao Xin, you caused an uproar in Yamaguchi Village, slaughtering Elephant Level with Tiger Level strength, even killing the prospective Tiger King as if he were nothing but a pig or a dog... I’m afraid no one here is a match for you."
"Incredible, you and... Oiran, you’re the real crouching dragons and hidden tigers."
Luo Yan snapped angrily when he saw the man looking at him, "What did you call me?"
Normally, people called him Oiran, at least it sounded more refined. It was just a joke among friends, so he tolerated it.
But this jerk from Yamaguchi Village actually called him Oiran in such a belittling tone. Was this not a deliberate provocation?
Gao Xin’s expression quickly grew cold as well, and he stood up abruptly, "If you want to fight, just say so. I’m all in."
He stabbed a knife into the ground and the Hell’s Wart Gun buzzed ominously.
In an instant, the atmosphere was charged with tension.
The underlings looked at their boss in shock, not understanding why he would provoke a guest.
Even the Quenching Fire Gang Leader looked terrified, waving his hands, "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, just my foul mouth speaking."
"Tai Sui, I really don’t want to fight you. You can slaughter Elephant Level, so please don’t lower yourself to deal with me..."
Luo Yan, with a heavy voice, said, "You’ve already alerted Sea King Port to come after us, are you just buying time now?"
He was shrewd and sensed something off about the gang leader’s attitude, immediately confronting him.
The Quenching Fire Gang Leader shook his head, "How could that be? I have a grudge with Yamaguchi Village too."
"It’s destiny that brought Tai Sui to this wretched place," he continued. "If there’s anything you need, just say it."
Gao Xin raised an eyebrow, "How so? You can’t possibly offer it for free, can you?"
The Quenching Fire Gang Leader laughed, "That’s not entirely out of the question."
The bystander underlings stood there dumbfounded.
The Quenching Fire Gang Leader simply waved them off, telling them to leave.
The underlings retreated, and suddenly, only the gang leader remained, facing Gao Xin and his group.
This surprised Gao Xin, as the man knew of his strength and yet dared to face him alone.
Seemingly panicked, but inwardly fearless—what kind of person was the gang leader?
The man was a cyborg, and Gao Xin could not assess his true strength.
The Quenching Fire Gang Leader chuckled, "It’s just a free offer, isn’t it? A trifling matter. If you all join me, then you’ll be my people, and of course, I’ll provide the enhancements for free."
Everyone was stunned, then scoffed.
Gao Xin was amused, so it turned out this man was interested in his strength and wanted to recruit him?
"Heh, are you a dragon?"
The Quenching Fire Gang Leader exclaimed in shock, "Ah? How did you know? You recognize me?"
Everyone was taken aback. A dragon-level in Yamaguchi Village?
An insignificant gang’s boss was dragon-level? How was that possible?
Gao Xin’s gaze grew sharp, "Even if you are a dragon, what of it? Do you really think you can recruit me?"
In a flash, his exoskeleton armor began to envelop him.
The Quenching Fire Gang Leader hastily said, "Hold on, hold on, it was you who asked for freebies. I just offered a option. If you don’t agree, that’s that. Why get physical?"
"..." Gao Xin felt like he had been played, what was wrong with this man?
Luo Yan urgently said, "This guy is definitely stalling for time. Be careful, the powerhouses from Sea King Port might arrive at any moment."
Gao Xin thought for a moment and then sat back down, "Let them come. I’ll take on each one as they show up."
The Quenching Fire Gang Leader spread his hands, "I really didn’t send a warning. Everyone, relax."
"Since you don’t want to join me, then you’ll have to pay for the goods. You wouldn’t rob my gang, right?"
Back to square one.
Gao Xin remained calm, unperturbed. Even though he couldn’t figure out what was going on with this erratic talker, he decided to treat him like a lunatic.
There were many like him on the island, it wasn’t unusual. He had encountered one such person shortly after he arrived on the island.
With narrowed eyes, he said, "Don’t worry, I have the money."
"But it’s in a Silver Tower account, can you accept payment that way?"
The Quenching Fire Gang Leader paused, "You’re a high-level player?"
Gao Xin nodded.
The Quenching Fire Gang Leader said with a smile, "That makes things easy. High-level players use blockchain services, with peer-to-peer transactions and consensus mechanisms, making them tamper-proof."
"I can just exchange the distributed ledger for sin redemption tokens. As long as there’s really money in your high-level account, you can transfer the tokens to me."
Gao Xin secretly nodded to himself; this way, he could spend the Tiger King Conference’s participation fee while outside.
"Let me see what goodies you have."
However, after looking around, most were cybernetic products, none of which were of much use to the Radiation.
But cybernetic enhancements could drastically improve those with low potential.
They were perfect for his current team, which was full of N-category Radiation members.
It was unrealistic to expect them to achieve breakthroughs to a true wolf by risking their lives, even though he could assist them by transplanting his own organs. That too was difficult.
So far, only Su Lei had succeeded, and that was based on a firm belief that all beings are sacred.
To rapidly enhance his teammates’ power now, cyborgs were the only way.
Gao Xin touched his chin, considering. As for himself, it was tough to improve any further through exchanges.
