Chapter 50: Famous Blade Lightning Sphere and Superman Gloves

The night grew deeper, beside the trash mountain in District 13.

This trash mountain had been formed by the accumulation of countless trash in the Lower Hive over the past ten thousand years; it grew higher and expanded every day, becoming more chaotic and disorderly every day.

In the dimly lit Lower Hive, at a glance, this trash mountain looked like a twisted god crouching in the darkness, ferociously eroding everything around it.

There were shadowy ghosts among the dark trash mountains, hisses that sounded from time to time, and strange low murmurs.

This was not only the gathering point for all the trash in the Hive, but also the only way from the Lower Hive to the Hive Outskirts and the Undercity.

Residents from the land outside covered in radiation light and mutants from the darkness of the Undercity appeared here from time to time.

That Eager Thief actually asked Zhou Yun to meet here.

Zhou Yun thought as he shuttled through the trash mountain full of darkness.

Through his orange-yellow gloves, he carefully touched the Pocket Tornado hanging at his waist and the pale gold short blade on the other side.

In addition, he had a Superpower Hat on his head, and in the darkness, there were eighteen Kantrael-pattern M36 lasguns controlled by his telekinesis.

Equipped with these items, he felt a little more at ease.

This type of lasgun was the standard equipment for the Cadian Shock Troops, which Zhou Yun had dug out from a warehouse in the Old Eighth District.

At that time, he could barely control twelve at once, but as he became more proficient in using telekinesis, the number he could control had risen to eighteen.

In addition, he was becoming more proficient with the superpower of teleportation; he used to only be able to teleport within a range of seven or eight meters, but now the teleportation distance had exceeded fifteen meters.

There were also Voice Candy and Body Clay responsible for hiding his identity and infiltrating, and Air Gun Potion used for sneak attacks...

He mainly lacked some melee weapons.

In this galaxy, there were quite a few guys who were immune to ranged weapons, and only melee combat could deal damage.

Zhou Yun reached his hand to the other side of his waist, where a short blade only the length of his forearm hung.

Famous Blade: Lightning Sphere, an item priced at 200,000.

Its drawbacks were significant, but its effects were heaven-defying.

This weapon could be considered one of the cheapest among conceptual-level items.

Its effect was that as long as it had power, the user would gain extraordinary swordsmanship and would absolutely not lose in a melee weapon duel.

The drawback was that the power consumption was very fast; according to Zhou Yun's tests, the more intense the battle, the faster the weapon's power consumption.

In addition, its effect was limited to not losing in melee combat.

If the opponent used a machine gun to strafe, this weapon's ability to block bullets was limited.

Or if it was a psychic attack, this weapon would also be powerless.

And this blade itself could not deal damage; it could only maintain a situation of neither winning nor losing.

But as long as it was a melee weapon duel, even if the opponent was a Greater Daemon of Khorne, Famous Blade: Lightning Sphere could force a draw.

It was a weapon with many drawbacks but also a very high ceiling.

Finally, there was one more item that didn't have as high a ceiling as Famous Blade: Lightning Sphere, but had stable output.

Zhou Yun looked at the dark red gloves on his hands.

【Item Name: Superman Gloves】

【Origin: 22nd Century Earth — Future Department Store】

【Production Time: 261. M3】

【Function: Looks like ordinary gloves, but after putting them on, you will gain strength far exceeding that of an ordinary person; a single hand can block a high-speed hundred-ton king, but the force is relatively difficult to control.】

【Price: 950,000】

950,000, expensive as hell.

But the improvement it brought was also quite obvious.

With the strength to blow away a hundred-ton truck with a single punch, even against a Space Marine, he wouldn't lose in terms of strength alone.

The drawback was that the force was relatively difficult to control; wearing the gloves made it almost impossible to use weapons or pick up smaller things.

Suddenly, Zhou Yun saw a flash of scorching fire in the darkness.

That was the fire of the Eager Machine.

Zhou Yun's eyes moved slightly; he bypassed a trash mountain that wasn't very high and walked toward the location of that fire.

From a long distance away, he saw the hooded figure.

That Eager Thief who called himself "Orleans Fried Wings."

His height was short, even shorter than Lage, but he was carrying a flame cutter that reached his shoulder.

The howling cold wind from the Hive outskirts passed through the trash mountains and swept over his body.

His cloak moved with it, further highlighting the thin body under his cloak.

Zhou Yun estimated from a short distance that this Eager Thief figure was at most one meter forty-something.

In the Lower Hive, that was considered stunted growth.

Or rather, was the Eager Thief actually not very old?

Zhou Yun had lived in the Lower Hive for so long that he had long since learned not to judge a book by its cover.

Perhaps a ten-year-old child could be a skilled pickpocket.

The Eager Thief seemed to have seen Zhou Yun too; he turned his head, and the eyes hidden under the hood seemed to be staring at Zhou Yun.

He didn't know if it was Zhou Yun's illusion.

He always felt that the darkness around the Eager Thief was lighter.

He seemed to be emitting light slightly and imperceptibly.

Glowing, that was a serious mutation. Zhou Yun thought silently in his heart.

He even considered whether he should use a long-range laser to snipe him directly.

It seemed better to disable one or two of his legs first to make him lose his mobility.

But Zhou Yun was worried that it would alert his precognition ability.

Although Zhou Yun could resist precognition ability to a certain extent, attacking the opponent directly would still be discovered.

And,

the Eager Thief was staring at him silently.

Zhou Yun lowered his head, confirming that Xiang Xiang Leina and the members of the Ark Gang were already in position.

He walked toward the Eager Thief with unhurried steps.

"I'm here."

Zhou Yun looked at the Eager Thief standing directly opposite him:

"What exactly do you want to talk to me about? And who are you? Who is behind you?"

Facing Zhou Yun's repeated questioning, the hooded Eager Thief only took a step toward Zhou Yun gently.

Then, she reached out and took off her hood, revealing a head of blonde hair like a haystack under the summer sun.

The slightly dry blonde hair was braided into a thick braid on her back, hanging down to her waist.

Her face had a line of shallow freckles and was quite pretty, but far inferior to Xiang Xiang Leina; it could only be called plainly good-looking.

The eyes above the shallow freckles were so deep and black that they were watery like a lost little deer, looking at Zhou Yun with a clarity rarely seen in the Lower Hive.

Just looking at her appearance, she seemed to be just a teenage girl.

But Zhou Yun could perceive that in this girl's slender and plain body, some kind of larger will seemed to be stuffed.

She gave Zhou Yun a very standard Aquila sign gently.

"My name has no meaning."

She opened her mouth and said, her voice clear and childish like the clear sky after a summer rain, which was shocking.

"Who I am is not important; the key is that One."

"I am just a vessel for His will."
