Chapter 6 Slums in Slums

At this time, he can only wander around the street dejectedly, doing nothing and can do anything. He is not even as depressed as the stray dog whose hair is about to come off in the garbage dump on the corner.

This is by no means exaggerating the desolate situation of Di Changli's current situation. At least, in Di Changli's view, that dysentery dog is a happy monarch with his own kingdom. There is no doubt about its authority in that stinky territory. It can not only effortlessly pull out a variety of food, but also rely on its sharp minions to do whatever it wants. If other homeless dogs and cats dare to come to plot this territory, they will rush up mercilessly and fiercely, keep biting those eyesless guys all over their bodies and fleeing, and then they are willing to bark a few times to show their dignity inviolable.

And what about Di Changli? Obviously, it can't be compared with the majestic king. Not only can't you find a steel in your pocket to buy a piece of bread to wrap your stomach, but you have to be careful to avoid everyone you meet along the way like a mouse crossing the street, so as not to offend them.

This kind of caution is necessary, although most of the people Di Changli met were only little hooligans who walked like crabs, dark prostitutes with heavy makeup, skinny addicts, drunken drunks on their bodies, etc., almost all over the street. Anyway, in the slums in the slums of the Galactic Federation, the most dilapidated and dirty slum of the Roman colonial star of the Galactic Federation, can you expect to meet any great figures?

But these guys at the bottom of society are naturally a strong target for Di Changli, who is only 14 years old and stunted due to his long-term lack of adequate nutrition. Even a minor prostitute can easily scratch him with his long blood-red nails and kneel down to beg for mercy.

Di Changli alertly dodged two drunks who fell and bumped into each other. He was about to bypass the corner of the street. Suddenly, he caught a glimpse of an item from the garbage dump, and his eyes could not help but light up.

What he saw was a semi-new money clip, which looked like it was made of space monster skin.

Space monster leather products, which are quite popular in the city of Rome, which is scarce. They are rare goods for rich people with bulging pockets. Few people can afford large leather products in the slums. Although this is just a small wallet, which is also a little shabby, and it is even more unlikely to keep * in it, it can be exchanged for dozens of federal coins after cleaning, which is enough for Di Changli to get some natural food to fill his stomach. The smell of synthetic food for three meals a day is really appetizing for him.

When the dysentery dog lying on a pile of rags saw Di Changli approaching, he immediately bowed alertly and made a low whine that was obviously not friendly to warn the intruder to stop.

"Get out of here." Di Changli was not the coward who was scared by it. He picked up half a stick and rushed up bravely. He beat the dysentery dog and ran away with his tail.

It should not be cheap ordinary animal skin. Di Changli looked over and over the booty. With his limited knowledge to get this result, he couldn't help grinning at the unexpected fortune.

"Kid, what are you having fun here?"

Di Changli was shocked and quickly stuffed the wallet under his clothes before turning his head to look in the direction of the sound.

Three half-sized people dressed in fancy came over with cigarettes, with metal buckles of various colors hanging on their noses or lips, and their heads were high, so arrogant that they could flatten the whole planet with one foot.

"I didn't do anything." Di Changli saw a drop of water-like light blue pattern under the left corner of the middle guy's eye, and his heart was even tighter, and he quickly replied in a low voice.

The tattoo of tears on his cheeks is hidden in the slums of Rome, which is known to even a three-year-old child. This is a sign of the ostentatiousness used by some criminals who take pleasure in crime to show how many people they have killed or how many years they have been in prison. A tear pattern usually represents a human life or five years in prison. Judging from the age of this guy, it obviously belongs to the former category.

"Hey, this kid still thinks he's clever." The guy laughed happily with his hoarse voice and two companions, put his hand into his crotch and scratched it a few times. Then he took it out and picked his nostrils disgustingly and said, "Little devil, if you don't want your nose to move, you'd better quickly show me what's hidden."

Di Changli saw an electromagnetic gun in this guy's waist again and immediately made a wise choice. He didn't want his nose to move home like this.

"Is this the only rag?" A boy with a triangular gold button on his right lower lip was a little disappointed and stared at Di Changli fiercely.

Di Changli was silent and consciously opened all the pockets on his body without careful examination, because basically there was a big hole in each pocket, which could only be used to insert needles.

The three guys were quite satisfied with his attitude, and the tear-stretted guy patted him hard on the face. Kid, you can get out of here."

Di Chang looked at the owner's wallet with nostalgia, touched his hot cheeks and silently turned around to leave.

"I guess it's thanks to your mother's good tutoring to plunder a little guy."

A resolute middle-aged man came this way with vigorous steps. His figure is tall and strong, his shoulders are extremely wide, he has thick brown hair, his eyes are bright, and he is sharp like a knife out of the sheath. His whole body exudes a kind of demeanor and style that strongly attracts the attention of others, like a legend A hero in the wonder.

"*old bastard, do you want me to make a big hole in you?" The tear-piercing guy was stunned at first, then became furious, gritted his teeth and shouted, and quickly went to the electromagnetic gun on his waist.

The brown-haired man who was still five or six meters away from here suddenly accelerated. Everyone only felt a flower in front of them. They saw that the man was close to the tear-print boy, and his right hand suddenly pinched the guy's wrist like lightning, and simply strangled it down.

After a crisp bone sound, the tear-print boy immediately let out a miserable cry, and the electromagnetic gun fell to the ground.

"It seems that your mother not only hasn't taught you how to love children, but also hasn't taught you how to respect an old man." The brunette man smiled and loosened him and straightened his collar as if nothing had happened.

The other two guys were so surprised that they didn't react. The tear-print boy seemed to be unbearable in pain. While shouting, he leaned down with his dislocated wrist and suddenly grabbed the electromagnetic gun with the other hand, but his body immediately froze again.

This is because there is a cold and heavy thing on the top of his forehead. From the feeling, he knows that it is at least a superconducting electromagnetic gun. The power is not comparable to the lowest level of goods in his hand. The high-energy electromagnetic bomb inside can crack his head into countless flaps at any time.

"Old man, what the fuck do you want?" The tear-print boy didn't dare to move a little, and his eyes turned around and shouted fiercely.

The golden buckle boy on the right suddenly shouted in great surprise: "Hey, he is Mr. Barley's guest. I've seen him earlier... Oh, my God, you see, he also has a tungsten steel sword and stacked armor on him. Oh, no, this is a release armor... Oh, Fuli Kai, my God, he is definitely a real refiner. Mr. Baley will never politely entertain any small role.

A refiner? Retrive the armor? Di Changli's eyes suddenly lit up, and his eyes did not blink, staring at an inconspicuous black metal belt around the waist of the brown-haired man.

needs to be explained in more detail here. Tungsten steel weapons and superconducting electromagnetic guns are the basic weapons and equipment of all personnel engaged in risk-taking industries in most countries and regions in the Galactic Federation and the Wanxing Republic. The Galactic Federation's management of firearms is relatively lax. As long as it has legal weapons and documents, the federal government allows citizens to carry them in public areas that are not explicitly prohibited.

In fact, because the Galactic Federation considers that there are too many unpredictable dangers in space and undeveloped colonial star adventures, almost every adult federal citizen can easily obtain a weapons certificate from the federal government's military administration in colonial stars.

Of course, the weapons possession certificate of the Armed Forces Administration has extremely strict restrictions on the level of firearms held by private individuals, and usually only the least lethal weapon possession certificate will be issued to prevent criminals or thugs from causing irreparable damage. Therefore, the federal government has a very severe crackdown on illegal acts of private weapon grading. Once the crime of weapon grading is verified, it can be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of more than three years and not more than 100 years depending on the seriousness of the circumstances. The huge fine is enough to bankrupt a rich family and will also deprive the violator of the original In short, some basic citizen rights and interests are used to make you dare not easily cross the thunder pool.

The release armor is not a conventional weapon. Although it can be used to attack at some times, it is more often just a top individual combat suit for defense. It is made of titanium alloy and ultra-fiber material, and can be freely combined into various pre-set ultra-thin metal armor, and can release a certain The strong magnetic field protection cover effectively resists various physical attacks and resolves the attacks of beams and electromagnetic weapons. Its defense ability can not only withstand the strength and strength of a small combat machinery armor, but also greatly surpasses any fighter armor in a small range. It is a precious combat equipment for all military combatants and adventurers of the Galactic Federation as a second life.

However, such a powerful release armor has not been popularized in the Galactic Federation, not because it is expensive, but because it has extremely high requirements for users' ability. People who have not reached a certain level of ability, even if they are equipped with release armor, are useless. Different, even if you can drive and manipulate the most advanced large-scale fighter armor. Of course, if you drive the same mecha to fight, the gap between the two can be used is the abyss.

It is precisely because the compound armor limits the use of everyone that its alternative stacked armor has been developed.

The stack armor has no restriction on the user's ability. It is a relatively advanced individual combat suit. It can also be freely combined and deformed, but it cannot release the magnetic field protective cover, so it can only resist conventional physical attacks. The effect depends on the quality of the material used to make the stacked armor. Usually, the federal government assembles it for elite soldiers and special police. Even ordinary goods are quite expensive and popular on the market. Generally, they can only be purchased at a high price on the black market.

Finally, let's explain the key point, that is, the distinction between people who use compound armor and stacked armor, which is actually very simple, that means that people who can use compound armor freely must be refiners.

In the early days, human beings established the Galactic Federation and began a real interstellar colonization in the galaxy. After coming into contact with various extraterrestrial high-level life, in the war with races and other racial creatures with advanced civilizations, they felt the shortness of human life and the fragility of the body, believing that human beings wanted to conquer the galactic world and the wider The star domain must first become stronger.

So the galactic federal government began to devote itself to the research and development of human's own potential. After hundreds of years of hard work, the Galactic Federal Government has finally made breakthroughs in the technical field of biological genes and successfully developed a gene conversion solution. After this gene conversion fluid is injected into the human body, it will carry out extremely complex cell fusion, recombination and transfer by itself, causing unknown mutations in the human genome sequence and correspondingly changing the structure of human neurons, which can greatly enhance human constitution, improve human basic capabilities, and produce similar evolution. Since then, the miraculous effect has also greatly improved the survival chances of human exploration in the vast space.

However, in the early stage of the experiment, the effect of the gene conversion solution was not ideal, which often led to the disability and death of the experiment. After countless improved experiments, the gene transformation technology eliminated the unexpected risks arising from all transplants, and finally matured and perfected. Soon it was widely used in the federal Citizens can get a free gene conversion solution at the physiological stage suitable for injection. Of course, free are only the lowest-level standard general-purpose types, and those special gene conversion fluids that match their own constitution are extremely expensive and must be bought at your own expense.

Shortly after the overall physical quality of federal citizens was greatly improved, people were surprised to realize that a strange energy was generated in the body. After this energy accumulated to a certain extent, people can not only use it freely, but also manipulate and control various natural substances and energy from the outside world. It has the incredible superpower of immortals in ancient myths and legends and can't be explained by existing scientific theories.

This powerful strange energy is known as the primitive natural force, or the Force for short. It refers to a supernatural and ubiquitous mysterious power, which is a kind of energy that all creatures themselves are born with, and is spread throughout the universe, but human beings have not found it before.

However, although the body of every federal citizen injected with gene conversion fluid produces the Force, it is also negligible. For a lifetime, only a few people's Force strength can meet the minimum requirements for manipulating external matter and energy. These lucky people are the initial superpowers.

Later, in the continuous exploration and research of the application of the Force, people were surprised to find a way to enhance the Force, that is, they must carry out persistent practice in a special way. It means to refine energy.

After that, the number of superpowers began to increase slowly. According to the category of matter and energy that the Force can control, human beings divide it into five stages, namely, the energy condensation period, energy control period, energy period, energy control period and energy breaking period. Each stage is divided into three levels: the early, middle and late stage.

Although the method of energy refining has been found, it is limited to the constraints of many factors. Most human beings are limited to the beginning and middle of the condensation stage throughout their lives, and it is difficult to achieve even in the late stage of condensation. Only a few people can break through this barrier and enter the energy control period, which can be called real energy refiners. If you want to control freely and give full play to the full effect and power of the armor, you have to practice until the early stage of forging.

It needs to be added that although human beings have divided the refiners into five stages, so far, the strongest refiners in history have only practiced until the late stage of energy control, and have been called by the Lord at the end of their lives. The final energy breaking period only exists in theory. No one knows that the refiners will be strong at this stage. How big is it? Scientists predict that only when human beings can live for more than 300 years can they hope to break the bottleneck and cultivate to the energy-breaking period.

This prophecy has hurt the hearts of countless people, because the longest living guy in the Federation only has a lifespan of 240 years, and in the last ten years, he has survived with various high-tech life-saving equipment.

One thing must be mentioned. Although there are many ways to cultivate the Force, the advanced mental method is in the hands of those famous families and governments. The Broom is not passed on. Ordinary people have no way to contact it at all. They can only practice several low-level mental methods that are popularized. If you want to get a more advanced mind, you must join it. The federal army accumulates military achievements, or chooses a large family to serve it for life, which is the biggest reason for the scarcity of energy refining masters.

These are the basic common sense known to all citizens of the Galactic Federation. Although Di Changli is young, he is also familiar with it. He has lived in the slums of Rome for 14 years. The refiners he has seen with his own eyes can be counted with one hand, and he only looks at them from afar. The rest are seen in film and television, but he has never seen the magical armor so close.
