Chapter 148: Why Is My Career Panel in 2D Anime Style? Chapter 63

Zzz—!

A piercing whistle came from nowhere, and then a scorching yellow beam shot toward the modified giant dragon in the air with lightning speed.

The beam instantly pierced the dragon’s membrane wings, leaving a white trail in the sky.

Seeing this, Ma Kusi subconsciously looked at the mechanical soldier beside him: “City Lord, did you do that?”

Hearing this, a mechanical laugh came from Brando’s mouth: “Heh heh, I said don’t underestimate old people.”

Watching the wobbling modified giant dragon begin to flee, Li Ang touched his chin and said somewhat uncertainly: “Electromagnetic railgun?”

“But how did it miss?”

He had just seemed to see a spherical metal in that beam, but he wasn’t sure if he had seen it wrong.

And Brando, upon hearing Li Ang’s words, immediately turned his head to look at him: “I didn’t expect you to recognize it. I haven’t been manufacturing this weapon for long, and I haven’t calibrated it yet; otherwise, it wouldn’t have been the wing that was shot.”

Hearing this, Li Ang shrugged his shoulders: “Just seen something similar.”

He knew he had guessed right.

And the so-called "something similar"—

Actually, he had thought of Railgun’s super electromagnetic cannon; the scene just now looked very much like a super electromagnetic cannon magnified several times.

“Is that so...” The red light in the mechanical soldier’s eyes flickered. “We can exchange ideas if there is an opportunity.”

Ma Kusi, standing to the side, couldn’t help but scratch his head after hearing their conversation.

A rough person like him didn’t understand much about things between artisans.

Anything like an electromagnetic railgun just made his head hurt.

It was also at this time that the Security Bureau officers arrived late and surrounded the hole in the center of the street.

Seeing this, Li Ang said: “It looks like there’s nothing for me to do, so I’ll be going.”

No longer a Security Bureau officer, he naturally didn’t need to stay for the aftermath.

And Brando, after watching Li Ang walk away, said to Ma Kusi: “Then I’m leaving too. I’ll leave this to you, Ma Kusi.”

As his voice fell, the mechanical soldier, which had previously had a somewhat human feel, suddenly became stiff.

After Brando left, a hint of playfulness that was not easy to detect flashed in Ma Kusi’s eyes.

“Heh.”

On the other side.

Li Ang locked the door as soon as he entered the house, then walked quickly toward the basement.

At this moment, the abnormalities he had just noticed kept flashing through his mind.

First was Brando’s unusually fast arrival speed.

Despite being the City Lord, he had acted more actively than the Security Bureau Chief, Ma Kusi.

Secondly, it was the degree of the other party’s understanding of him.

You have to know that if Li Ang hadn’t exposed it himself, even Ma Kusi wouldn’t have known his artisan identity, but Brando had pointed out that he was an alchemist-type artisan in one breath.

This could, of course, be explained by the other party also being an artisan.

But Li Ang still felt something was wrong.

‘Could this old thing be the mastermind behind the smuggling case?’

This conjecture rose uncontrollably in his heart.

If so, it would explain why Kaide had come to his door just as Razor appeared.

After all, as the City Lord and a mechanical-type artisan, the entire city’s surveillance was clearly Brando’s line of sight.

‘Tsk... could this old thing have been watching me in the dark all this time?’

Although there was no concrete evidence yet to prove that the other party was the mastermind behind the smuggling case, Li Ang felt his guess was likely not far off.

Recalling the content that appeared on the panel after the major event ended, Li Ang’s face gradually darkened.

He wanted to go and stab the other party to death right now, but in the end, he calmed down.

Killing a pioneer city’s City Lord without evidence would likely turn his hard-won official citizenship back into that of a prisoner.

Unless Li Ang didn’t plan to hang around in the Federation anymore.

Of course, he certainly couldn’t just let it go.

Thinking of this, Li Ang took a deep breath and forcibly controlled his emotions.

Then he opened the career panel and began to check the job transfer for [Gunner].

Just like when he transferred to [Dragon Pulse Alchemist], [Gunner] could only be transferred to once.

‘I currently lack sustained, large-scale killing methods. If there is a profession that can make up for this, that would be best.’

Since he wanted to train himself into a bucket character, Li Ang naturally had to make up for his own shortcomings.

This was also the reason why he wanted to increase his [Gunner] level just now; you have to know that in normal times, there aren’t such opportunities to farm experience.

Thinking this way, Li Ang began to check the [Gunner] transfers that were more suitable for him, preparing to choose one from them.
