Chapter 135: Win-Win, It

The old goblin's words left Xie Yaoyao stunned.

He knew Fantexi Cheng was chaotic, but he didn't expect it to be this chaotic!

Thinking of those throne-seizing battles in ancient times, he felt relieved, but Xie Yaoyao still felt that this matter probably wasn't that simple.

After all, what was there to fight for in an Underground City that was about to be swallowed by devils?

"I don't know the specific matters either, and you will need to ask Young Master Roman yourself when you see him next time."

Next time we meet?

Hey, the rabbit Roman should be not far away next door, and this old goblin seemed to be convinced that he wouldn't go over to verify it at this time!

Old and cunning, horse and slippery!

"No hurry, I will go! Now I would rather visit your studio, you don't mind, right?"

The old goblin was stunned, seemingly not expecting Xie Yaoyao to suddenly ask such a question, but he didn't refuse.

"Of course, this is my honor!"

Lakeximu seemed very unaccustomed to others paying attention to his laboratory, and his voice was strangely stiff.

"In fact, you are the first guest to come to this laboratory. No one else has ever entered this laboratory of mine except Young Master Roman and Aike."

Xie Yaoyao didn't care about the hidden refusal in Lakeximu's words, just looking around playfully.

"Then I am truly honored to receive an invitation from Master Lakeximu! Ah, are these imitations of various biological limbs and torsos? They are simply works of art. This reminds me of the arm and leg of that guy Aier!"

The old goblin followed Xie Yaoyao's footsteps, following step by step.

"That is indeed my clumsy work, but in terms of magic conduction, it can only exert 80% of the efficacy, and all this is based on the premise that the material used is refined gold."

Speaking of specific works, the old goblin's desire to talk was much stronger, constantly explaining to Xie Yaoyao what precise science and rigorous magic were contained in that guy Aier's arm and leg.

Xie Yaoyao listened in a fog, summarizing it into two words—Awesome!

Hey, since this old guy is so awesome, can he fleece some wool?

Looking at the bright 【Merchant】 entry on the old goblin's head again, Xie Yaoyao immediately gave up the idea of fleecing wool and chickened out!

"Master Lakeximu, your exquisite skills have simply opened my eyes. I really didn't expect that in such a chaotic world, there would be a rigorous scholar like you who is obsessed with mechanical science!"

"Hahaha, this is nothing. In fact, Young Master Roman's talent in mechanical creations is ten times stronger than mine, but it's a pity... sigh, it would be even better if Young Master Roman were more focused on mechanics itself!"

That's hard to say; Roman's entries are different from yours.

He is a 【Mechanical Wizard】, you are just a 【Mechanical Engineer】. The height is different, and the scenery you see is different. Why are you evaluating him randomly?!

"After all, there is a specialty in the art, and Roman has his own ideas! Hey, are these firearms all your works? They look very exquisite!"

Xie Yaoyao's sudden stiff topic shift immediately made the old goblin realize that discussing his immediate superior with others here was indeed too stupid!

"Ah, yes yes yes, there is a specialty in the art, and what I specialize in is magic operation and mechanical structure, and firearms are the most outstanding representatives in this regard. Baron, let me introduce them to you!"

It has to be said that just as he boasted, the old goblin could indeed be counted as an expert in firearms.

Among these firearms on display, there were not only firearms with concepts similar to the real world but also various firearms full of fantasy colors.

Especially when Xie Yaoyao saw a firearm engraved with a very complex red magic array, he immediately thought of the tail of the rabbit Roman's mechanical scorpion.

That mechanical scorpion that could shoot powerful flame rays.

When Xie Yaoyao's attention fell on his most outstanding work, a look of pride couldn't help but appear on the old goblin's face.

"This gun can shoot powerful flame rays, and its power is enough to pierce the strongest armor."

Xie Yaoyao believed it, because he had seen its power with his own eyes.

"You know, 'Flame Ray' can be counted as a powerful fifth-tier spell. Even a magician specializing in fire spells needs to go through hard training to master this spell, but this gun can allow ordinary people to easily use such a powerful spell."

Xie Yaoyao nodded, acknowledging the old goblin's words.

Why can people in the real world conquer the world? Isn't it by relying on such fire sticks!

"Sigh! It's just a pity that this gun can only shoot one 'Flame Ray', and after that, it needs a full day to condense enough elemental energy to fire the next 'Flame Ray' through the magic gathering array I engraved on it!"

"Oh, why is that? Can't you use some method to speed up the condensation speed or simply replace the energy source?"

Xie Yaoyao had seen the mechanical scorpion slaughtering everyone, and there was no sign of insufficient firepower at all!

"Speeding up the condensation of fire elements requires more resilient basic materials, and this material also needs to have strong magic conductivity. This is too rare!"

Speaking of his professional content, the old goblin was eloquent.

"As for alternative energy sources, this is even more difficult. Not only does it require redesigning a set of supporting magic conduction arrays, but it also requires stabilizing the output power of this new energy source, etc. Anyway, the problems that need to be solved will only be more."

Hearing this, Xie Yaoyao's expression became playful.

It seems, it seems that Roman has solved these problems and put them into practical application!

No wonder Roman doesn't study with this old goblin; he just provides a base for him to study, and he got an extra free inspiration collection point and cheap labor!

And he also got an extra undercover agent planted in the Rebel Party. Killing three birds with one stone!

Hey, no!

This old goblin doesn't lose either!

Not only did he get a fixed material supplier, but he also got the protection of the biggest backer in Fantexi Cheng. It didn't lose his 【Leave a Hand】 entry!

Win-win! That's right, it's a win-win!

Sure enough, none of these guys wandering in this dark world are simple characters!

"Baron, judging from your title, you should also be a master of using firearms. I don't know if there are any firearms you like. Just take it as a meeting gift from me!"

A meeting gift?

Xie Yaoyao naturally wouldn't refuse this benefit delivered to his door.

It's just that most of the firearms in front of him were blue-quality goods, and the best few were only green-quality.

To be honest, Xie Yaoyao looked down on them!

Even those few green-quality ones, like that 'Flame Ray' gun, all had more or less defects.

Suddenly, Xie Yaoyao had a thought and came up with an idea.

"Mr. Lakeximu, a little of my reputation was gained through it! But now it's a bit behind for me. If you can help me upgrade it a little, that would be even better!" ===== CHAPTER 136 =====
