Chapter 270: Chapter 248 Magic Cannon

In the following days, Li Cheng was mainly busy with a few things.

First and foremost, the Mechanic Master skill. There’s good news from the delivery room—it leveled up!

After such a long time of learning and exercising, by disassembling and reassembling various machines, from initially understanding the function and purpose of each part, to having a clear grasp of mechanical engineering, and then to being able to invent and create,

He built inexplicable products such as an inverted shampoo machine, a Gatling water gun, and a turbo-boosted toilet.

After spending so much time and energy, he finally managed to grind the Mechanic Master skill level to Third Level.

For this, it is worth setting off fireworks in the automated three-dimensional warehouse to celebrate.

It was not easy at all, if he couldn’t level up, Li Cheng even considered whether to graduate from high school early and go to Lanxiang automotive repair for further study.

Having reached the Third Level Mechanic Master, he could choose one specialty from four types and gain a new trait.

The four specialties are: Alchemist, Magic Cannon Master, Armored Master, and Battlefield Master.

Li Cheng pondered for a long time and firstly ruled out Alchemist and Battlefield Master.

The Alchemist can use alchemical tools to make experimental potions. Including healing potions, hallucinatory potions, chemical weapons, etc.

It belongs to a logistics occupation, very useful for large guilds but does not enhance much combat power for individuals.

A Battlefield Master, on the other hand, is a genius inventor who can create war robots called Iron Guards to protect oneself.

The existence of an Iron Guard comes in various forms, it can be powered by magic crystals, or by diesel, gasoline, coal, nuclear reactors, and even solar panels.

Depending on whether the Mechanic Master wants to adopt a steam punk, diesel punk, bio punk, atomic punk, or cyber punk style.

However, Li Cheng already had an ability called Gray Rain, whose combat ability is not something a low-level Iron Guard could compete with.

Especially now that she learned the Subtle Spirit Assault Skill from Pocket Monster, holding a skull-shattering power hammer, even T-800, T1000, T-X from "Terminator" could be flattened with one hammer per kid.

Let these robots experience what it means to be a mechanic, show off and I’ll make you fly.

Among the remaining two professions, Magic Cannon Master can create powerful magic gun platforms, bombing away to their heart’s content.

The Armored Master specializes in magic armor techniques, turning armor, boots, helmets, weapons into special styles,

Like the Thunder Warhammer, Lightning Launcher, Power Boots, Electromagnetic Gun, eventually moving in the sky and earth like Iron Man.

Both professions are closely matched, after considering repeatedly, Li Cheng finally excluded the Armored Master and chose to become a Magic Cannon Master.

His "Assembly Puppet," which can plug and unplug external components, largely replaces the traits of the Armored Master—installing gadgets from a rundown street onto oneself essentially achieves the same effect.

After Li Cheng made his choice, the Mechanic Master’s book further displayed more content.

Magic Cannon Master can use magic and tools to quickly summon a medium or small-sized artillery. The largest can be a field cannon and the smallest like a handheld musket.

When creating an artillery, the Magic Cannon Master can decide the appearance of the cannon, whether it has legs (legged cannons can move on command) and the type of cannon.

Such as conventional cannons, magic power platforms, flame throwers, force field crossbow cannons, etc.

Li Cheng experimented a bit, if it is a conventional cannon, he can currently make a light self-propelled gun with a 105mm caliber.

Such a literally World War II old cannon, if the old is revived with fully loaded armor-piercing bullets and high-explosive bombs, can be quite powerful.

The key is that the cannon’s actions are directly controlled by Li Cheng, coupled with drone vision and radar detection, it can fire from ten kilometers away and precisely hit the target, shooting and immediately relocating.

In the future, he could continue to upgrade calibers, 125, 155, 203, 305, even up to 406 naval guns, electromagnetic railguns.

After resolving the matters of the Mechanic Master, next is Li Cheng himself.

He is now Level 16 and has saved two free attribute points which he didn’t use yet. He invested one point each in Intelligence and Perception, effectively increasing the upper limit and recovery speed of his Spiritual Power Value.

The third thing is to upgrade the Electric Shock Device. Li Cheng used it to improve the quality of the Information Integration Glasses, upgrading them from fine to perfect level.

The upgraded integration glasses had their lenses subtly thickened, and a new special effect, information blockade, was added.

When encountering external probes and scanning skills, it will actively warn Li Cheng and weaken the probing ability of the external party.

This is quite useful; it can be used for stealth infiltration or for defending against assassination and sneak attacks.

After handling these matters, Li Cheng, with twenty thousand in substantial funds, visited the auction house again to see if there were any weapons suitable for himself.

His usual rusty machete was gradually failing to keep up with his attribute panel, and it was also damaged during the previous fight with Cervantes.

Unfortunately, there were no weapons of interest available at the auction house, but he did find some success with the Thousand Throats Beast Guild.

An old acquaintance from the Thousand Throats Beast Guild, the Red Driver, got a few rare insects from Otherworld from his friend and sold them at a fair price to Li Cheng.

The Driver didn’t know Li Cheng needed these insects for genetic extraction. He subtly reminded him that it’s okay to secretly raise them for fun but warned it’s best not to let the Special Affairs Bureau find out.

The Special Affairs Bureau has been particularly strict recently in catching foreign species such as Enchanting Demons, Snow Women, Draconian Maids, and Cat Girls. They were all detained by the customs of the Special Affairs Bureau.

They were concerned about species contamination.

Uh... not wrong, there had been incidents where players married Cat Girls and had hybrids with cat ears; they even tried to register them at the census.

That player seemed to be called something like Ten Thousand Miles Sealed Blade, who had close cooperation with the Special Affairs Bureau as a mercenary and had really helped them a lot in the past.

Not registering his kids seemed too heartless,

Registering them, on the other hand, could easily lead to legal disputes and was difficult to manage.

In the end, the children were registered for citizenship, and someone from the bureau was contacted to custom-make equipment to hide the infants’ cat ears and tails. They were arranged to study at the Special Affairs Bureau’s family agency kindergarten in the real world and to try living a normal life.
