Chapter 724: Chapter 396 7th Generation: Unexpected Gain, Nanotechnology Combat Suit! _2

"Wait here for a while, I’m going to make a call."

After a while.

Old Li walked out of the room, holding a small slip of paper which he handed to Lu Yuan.

"I’ve sorted it out for you. This has the contact information."

"Xihu City is too chaotic, give him a call when you get there, he will pick you up at the city rail station entrance."

Lu Yuan took the slip and memorized the string of numbers silently, checking twice to ensure there was no mistake before putting it in his pocket.

Although after reincarnation, his soul strength was less than one billionth of his peak period.

But remembering a dozen numbers was still not a problem for him.

"Xihu City is a mix of good and bad people. Master Li, if you’re helping someone, why not lend me a Zero-Type Mecha to use?"

Lu Yuan persisted without giving up.

He’s really tight on money right now and can only cling to Old Li, trying to squeeze a benefit.

"A Zero-Type Mecha is worth over a million Star Coins. If you take it to Xihu City, are you looking for trouble?"

Old Li sneered.

No matter how much Lu Yuan coaxed or badgered, he refused to agree.

In the end.

Old Li, extremely annoyed, rummaged through a corner and tossed a palm-sized box to Lu Yuan.

"This Nanotechnology Combat Suit is a bit old, but if you break it, you still have to compensate."

"Don’t worry, Master Li. When I have money in the future, I’ll definitely get you a new one."

Lu Yuan opened the box and found a silver metal sphere the size of a ping pong ball and a paper instruction manual inside.

He quickly skimmed through the manual and then took the sphere in his hand, weighing it a bit.

The silver metal sphere was very light, roughly the weight of a ping pong ball, with a square button in the center.

Lu Yuan extended his finger and gently pressed it.

His finger felt like it was pricked by a needle, bringing a slight stinging sensation.

However, the wound was small and healed in an instant.

After collecting Lu Yuan’s DNA information, the metal sphere seemed to melt like mercury, quickly spreading all over his body from the finger.

Providing full protective coverage without blind spots.

Even his head was encased in a helmet made of silver metal.

On the surface.

He looked like a silver metal man.

"Not bad."

Lu Yuan tried moving around and found his actions smooth without any sense of obstruction.

"Mimic mode."

He said softly, following the instructions in the manual.

The next moment.

The silver metal covering him seemed to vanish, restoring his original appearance.

However, Lu Yuan could clearly sense.

There was still a transparent protective suit covering his body, providing him with protection at all times without any gaps.

"This Nanotechnology Combat Suit has limited defense and can only resist some small-caliber bullets, but it’s sufficient for now."

Lu Yuan nodded, feeling somewhat satisfied.

Then he went to a nearby store, spending 100 Star Coins to buy Old Li a pack of premium cigarettes.

"You usually can’t be made to talk even after being hit with a stick thrice, what’s come over you today?"

Old Li took the cigarettes, his wrinkles smoothed out, and even his view of Lu Yuan improved a lot.

"Just the force of life pressing down on me."

"Master Li, I have other things to do, so I’ll take my leave for now and come visit you another day."

Lu Yuan waved his hand and left the repair shop.

He left the house at six in the morning, and after all this hassle, it was almost noon.

His stomach also growled with hunger.

"Let’s find a place to eat first."

Lu Yuan randomly found a roadside restaurant and spent 20 Star Coins ordering a poor man’s platter.

The average monthly salary for ordinary people on Hulao Star is just three to four thousand Star Coins.

However, in the interstellar era, resources are abundant.

Although Hulao Star is remote and backward, most people don’t have to worry about food and drink.

It wasn’t long before.

The food was served.

A large plate of braised wild beef with two side dishes of green vegetables.

A spoonful of meat broth was poured over the glistening white rice.

The aroma was enticing, greatly increasing one’s appetite.

Lu Yuan picked up his chopsticks and devoured it heartily while contemplating his next move.

"Xihu City is full of bandits, with gangs entrenched there. I must have some self-defense capability before I can go to this place."

"Also, the wrist computer Gu Yao gave me might have hidden dangers that I need to deal with quickly."

Lu Yuan finished all the rice and wild beef, leaving the restaurant satisfied.

...

By dusk.

Just as Lu Yuan stepped off the unmanned bus, a small drone was already waiting at the station.

"Ding dong! Customer has been detected at the delivery point!"

"Dear Lu Yuan, the Star Universe Group wishes you a pleasant day. Please promptly check the goods you ordered this time."

The drone slowly descended, placing an alloy briefcase in front of Lu Yuan.

"Delivered in five minutes? As expected of the Star Universe Group with business spanning across star domains."

Lu Yuan marveled.

Even though technology on Hulao Star lags several eras behind, it’s still far more advanced than the 21st century.

When he opened the briefcase, it contained a smart wristband, two energy potions, and a miniature laser pistol.

Confirming there was no issue with the items, Lu Yuan put away the energy potions and the laser pistol, wearing the new wristband.

"Ding dong! The transaction has been completed. For more discounts and offers, please keep an eye on Star Universe Group!"

The drone took off again and vanished from Lu Yuan’s sight.

Lu Yuan walked towards the slums ahead along the road.

However, a message immediately popped up.

[Dear Mr. Lu Yuan, the transaction amount has been deducted, and your account balance is currently: 4791 Star Coins!]

"Back to square one again, seems I better hurry and make some money."

Lu Yuan said painfully.

A basic energy potion costs 20,000 Star Coins.

Whereas the smart wristband is much cheaper, just 1,000 Star Coins.

The miniature laser pistol, easy to operate and child-friendly, costs 5,000 Star Coins.

However, this is a civilian pistol and is far less powerful than a military one, only a threat to ordinary people or Quasi-Martial Artists.

"In this interstellar era, ordinary people have no privacy whatsoever."

"Gu Yao, as a Patrol Officer, can easily obtain all my personal information and home address through the security system."

Lu Yuan was sure that Gu Yao wouldn’t turn against him for such things, but it’s always good to be cautious.

With Old Li’s Nanotechnology Combat Suit and this miniature laser pistol, even if Gu Yao had any ideas, he had some means of self-preservation.

"Ultimately, my power is too weak now, which is why I’m so fearful."

"If I become a High-tier Martial Artist, Mecha Master, or Cultivator, I would have no fear even if rebels wanted to harm me!"

Lu Yuan thought to himself, deciding to first enhance his strength as much as possible.

He didn’t hurry home but found a quiet place instead.

He then activated his mental powers, revealing his panel.

[Talent: Reverse Cause and Effect]

[Number of Future Results Available for Advance Use: 0/1]

[Results Already Used in Advance: Basic Mecha Mastery (10% completed)]

[Available for Advance Use: Cooking Skill, Basic Martial Arts, Middle School Knowledge, Mechanical Master, Tier One Mecha Mastery...]

[Abilities Acquired: Basic Mecha Mastery]

"Repairing two Zero-Type Mechas yielded a 10% progress boost?"

Lu Yuan mumbled to himself.

Mecha Mastery includes maintenance, piloting, and various mecha knowledge.

At this rate, it won’t be long before he completes all learning processes and then he can advance to another skill in advance.

Then.

Lu Yuan took out that wrist computer and began browsing through its Martial Arts and Martial Techniques.

Two basic Combat Skills.

Sixteen Techniques of the Star Realm Military Combat!

Military Killing Fist!

One Tier One Martial Art.

Mixed Element Stance Skill!

Half an hour later.

Lu Yuan formatted all the data in the wrist computer and smashed it into pieces with a stone before throwing it into a roadside bin.

As for the Martial Arts and Basic Combat Skills inside, he had memorized them so well that he would never forget them in this lifetime!
