Chapter 468: Chapter 214 Cyber Master

"Didn’t you expose yourself? What are you up to?" Luo Yan snorted.

This guy, well, although we’re not close, we’re all rookies from the same period and have been teammates before.

But to say we’re close, it was just a one-time acquaintance.

Xia Heng spread his hands, "I wasn’t up to anything. Didn’t I just cause a little trouble at Evil Dragon Castle a while back, got chased and ended up hiding here?"

"Money’s tight, I wanted to do a little business. I just took over this gang not long ago, and I didn’t expect you guys to be my first major customers."

"Relax, trust my skills, no one understands cyborgs better than I do... come on, pay up first,"

Luo Yan said gravely, "You’re not some murderous doctor, are you? Digging in people’s brains during transplants?"

He was still fixated on that time Xia Heng had wanted his brain.

Xia Heng burst into laughter, "Hahaha, you really believed that? Looks like my disguise wasn’t too shabby, yep, I’m the murderous doctor known as Chicken Gizzard Bro."

Gao Xin cocked his head, "Did a little thing at Evil Dragon Castle? Hey! You’re not the one who stole Tyrant Caesar’s Demon Blade, are you?"

Truth be told, it would take a massive amount of guts to do that.

Either a newcomer bold as a young calf not afraid of tigers upon arriving on the island or a madman would do it.

And Xia Heng, he just happened to be both! He definitely could pull that off!

Xia Heng grinned, "Hehe, no, I’m not Heaven’s Thief. What does his stolen blade have to do with me, Chicken Gizzard?"

Everyone pointed at him, "It’s definitely you."

Gao Xin furrowed his brows, "Wait, Heaven’s Thief stole the blade two months ago, Xia Heng hadn’t even arrived on the island then."

Xia Heng said excitedly, "That’s right, the blade was indeed stolen by Heaven’s Thief from Caesar. I’m just helping him fence it."

"Huh?" Gao Xin was startled.

Well, no wonder he was so brazen, offending Evil Dragon Castle, openly selling the blade here.

So it was Xia Heng impersonating Heaven’s Thief...

"Do you have the blade?"

Xia Heng nodded, "Right here with me. Heaven’s Thief stole it but couldn’t even get out of Evil Dragon Castle, trapped inside for over a month."

"He’s good at hiding, but if I hadn’t hacked the barrier system of Evil Dragon Castle for him, would he have been able to escape? No way."

"Now we both need money. He agreed to split the profit 50/50 with me; I’ll handle the laundering."

Gao Xin raised his eyebrows, scrutinizing Xia Heng.

He had wondered before, how did Heaven’s Thief pull off such a big heist and remain uncaught for two months unless he had tremendous skills?

Turns out, that guy, having stolen the blade, couldn’t escape and got trapped, staying hidden within the city was safe, but once out, the barrier would detect him.

At a crucial moment, he met Xia Heng, and together, they escaped.

"You can hack the alarm barrier covering the main city?" Everyone was shocked.

Xia Heng placed his hands on his hips, "Isn’t that what hands are for? This version is already outdated outside, can’t believe a bunch of top forces on Crime Prison Island still use this junk, hilarious."

Gao Xin realized, yes, there’s a technological gap between the outside world and the island.

The Silver Tower never updates the exchange list, except for modules, all the tech goods seen now are versions from over twenty years ago.

It’s not that you can’t exchange for better, but that requires customization, to use ’designate a certain thing’ function.

But that means, islanders need to know what else is out there, usually involving capturing people, like how Lin Fu was exchanged onto the island.

As technology progresses, what was used to build the village twenty years ago could now be upgraded, but the island’s experts remain unaware.

This is like an isolated village, out of touch with the rapidly changing world outside.

Apart from combat skills, the most formidable cyborg abilities belong to someone like Xia Heng... already powerful outside and a newcomer to the island!

If you have your own channels and routes for development outside, the later you come to the island, the more badass you are.

He brought with him the latest knowledge and software; the island’s tech is full of holes in his eyes.

If Xia Heng could handle the alarm system of Evil Dragon Castle, then village-level tech was even more backward.

Gao Xin’s eyes lit up, with Xia Heng’s help, leaving the Evil Dragon Kingdom would be much steadier.

However...

"You help fence goods just like that? Openly selling it? Aren’t you afraid of Evil Dragon Castle coming after you?" Luo Yan exclaimed.

Xia Heng chuckled, "Evil Dragon Castle already knows we’re here. Right now, it’s a race against time. Better to get rid of the blade and turn it into cash, that’s the real deal."

"I really need money, man. This island is paradise; money can exchange for everything, even contraband, it’s awesome!"

"We might be good mates, but brothers settle debts clearly; let’s get the money for the cyborg body first!"

He once again pulled out that pebble-shaped metal.

Gao Xin pondered, "How much are you asking? I mean for the Demon Blade!"

Xia Heng raised a finger, "Are you buying? Then a little cheaper for you, one million."

Gao Xin’s mouth twitched, "My B+ grade Demon Blade only costs thirty thousand, your A+ grade is listed at just three hundred thousand in the Silver Tower."

Xia Heng laughed, "Three hundred thousand? Who’s going to sell it for that, Tai Sui bro! Does the Silver Tower sell it to you at that price?"

"The higher the grade of the Demon Blade, the rarer it becomes, alright? From A+ to S+, all such blades are now in Tyrant Caesar’s hands."

"This one that Heaven’s Thief took is the only one that circulated out!"

Gao Xin knew, the Demon Blades really went for that price. A B+ grade could sell for fifty thousand, A+ grades were even rarer, and the price would only skyrocket further.

Additionally, it’s a blade that chooses its owner; for someone incompatible, it’s just a regular-grade, but for a highly compatible person, an A+ grade Demon Blade could rival an S grade.
