Chapter 147: New Machine, Wow, Is It More!

Just as Li Ang felt something was off, Ma Kusi seemed to accept Brando’s explanation and relaxed his brow slightly: “City Lord, you must have been accumulating these mechanical soldiers for quite some time, right?”

“Don’t underestimate us old folks, Ma Kusi.”

Faced with the Security Bureau Chief’s inquiry, Brando mocked himself.

Ma Kusi didn’t mind, simply casting his gaze toward Li Ang: “Thanks to you here, otherwise I don’t know how much damage would have been caused.”

With his keen eyesight, he could naturally distinguish which insects at the scene were killed by Brando and which were killed by Li Ang.

Looking at the giant worm whose entire head was charred black, seemingly torn apart by some violent force, Ma Kusi’s eyes flickered.

When at the First Level, the profession Li Ang displayed was excellent physical enhancement, decent self-healing power, and a few long-range spell abilities.

Now that he had promoted to the Second Level, it seemed his spell abilities had instead been greatly enhanced.

‘What a strange profession.’

Ma Kusi couldn’t help but think.

Under normal circumstances, a profession usually only advances in one aspect; it was rare to see Li Ang’s situation.

After all, knowing a little bit of everything meant not knowing anything very well.

Unfortunately, this Security Bureau Chief did not know that Li Ang could hold multiple professions, and therefore did not know that Monarch Flame was not a skill carried by [Alchemist (San-Yi)].

Perhaps for others, it was being a jack-of-all-trades and master of none, but for Li Ang, it was different.

He was capable of training himself into a "bucket" character with no weaknesses.

Stats, mechanics—he wanted them all!

Just as the few people at the scene had their own thoughts, Li Ang suddenly spoke: “City Lord, can you let me use that machine gun of yours?”

“?” Faced with Li Ang’s request, Brando was stunned, then said, “Sure.”

“But you are an alchemist-type artisan, right? My machine gun is a mechanical-type prop.”

Hearing this, Li Ang keenly sensed something wrong.

‘Knows me so well?’

He suppressed his doubts without changing his expression; now was not the time to think.

However, Brando was wrong about one thing: he wasn’t planning to study the machine gun, but rather to take the opportunity to max out the level of [Gunner].

After obtaining Brando’s consent, Li Ang went to a machine gun and began to strafe the swarm at the entrance.

[Used firearms to kill enemies, profession experience +5]

[Used firearms to kill enemies, profession experience +7].

With Li Ang not caring at all about the bullets, his [Gunner] experience points began to rise rapidly.

And Brando, standing to the side, saw this scene, and the red light in his pair of electronic eyes flickered.

‘Do all alchemist-type artisans analyze props like this?’

This City Lord only felt that Li Ang seemed different from the alchemist artisans he had encountered before.

However, thinking that the other party’s main profession was not an artisan, he felt relieved.

Perhaps this was the unique analysis method of a wild-path artisan.

Soon, the [Gunner] profession reached max level, and Li Ang somewhat unfulfilledly handed the machine gun back to the mechanical soldier beside him.

Only at this time, the number of insects at the entrance had gradually become sparse.

Seeing this, Ma Kusi said: “It looks like this swarm’s offensive has ended.”

However, before his voice had even fallen, a terrifying explosion came from the firmament.

The three Second-Level professionals at the scene looked up in unison, and saw a crimson giant dragon covered in spikes flapping its wings above the energy shield.

The next moment.

Endless light and heat spewed from its mouth, colliding fiercely with the pioneer city’s energy shield.

Boom—!

Ripples spread outward from the place where the breath and the energy shield made contact.

Li Ang looked at the giant dragon, which clearly had traces of modification on its body, and finally understood where the swarm had obtained the dragon genes.

The swarm had obtained the corpse of a giant dragon from somewhere.

‘There are hackers in the swarm too!’

Recalling the information that appeared on his panel when he first transmigrated, Li Ang finally knew what the so-called [Zerg Nova] was.

Could it be that an insect really took on an artisan-type profession!?

And at this moment, Ma Kusi, who was beside Li Ang, saw this scene and his expression changed drastically: “Where did that dragon come from!?”

Clearly, this Security Bureau Chief also did not expect the swarm to have such a trick up its sleeve.

Unlike Li Ang and the other, who had different expressions, the mechanical soldier controlled by Brando just quietly watched the giant dragon in mid-air, with images being captured and transmitted to the rear.

Then—
