“Detected items that can be converted to energy points. Would you like to convert?”

“Sure.” Jiang Li confirmed, “What do I keep them for? Money? I don’t lack money. I lack energy points.”

Buzz! White light flashed. The ganodermas, ginsengs and fleeceflower roots were gone and “24” energy points were added on the panel.

“The ten-year herbs can only be converted to a few energy points.”

Jiang Li mumbled, “I can make two meches of early-stage level one with 24 energy points, or I can upgrade Wang Gang to the mid-stage.”

“There’s still too little energy points.”

“Build two level-one ‘Cold Weapon Meches,'” Jiang Li said.

He knew that he was only at the early stage of the elementary level, so he must protect himself. Having only one mech was far from enough. Besides, Jiang Li knew his strength was his biggest weakness. He could only make meches in the “Legendary Mech Army,” but not things like “Gene Enhancement Drugs.”

Of course when he reached the peak stage and unlocked the “Research Meches,” he might be able to develop technological products like “Gene Enhancement Drugs,” but it was impossible for now.

Luckily, Jiang Li was in a super fantastic world where he could practice Martial Arts and become a Martial Artist. If he kept enhancing his strength, he could totally get rid of this weakness.

He had to create meches, look for resources, enhance his Martial Arts level, continuously improve himself and finally form a flawless mech army. This was Jiang Li’s goal.

Swish! A virtual screen popped up. There was an illusory human figure surrounded by countless light dots, which were filling the figure to make it more realistic. There was also an “X2” symbol next to the figures.

Two minutes later.

Buzz! Buzz! The human figures enlarged and became realistic.

“Cold Weapon Mech of early-stage level one, LBQ01.”

“Cold Weapon Mech of early-stage level one, LBQ02.”

“Greetings, Master!”

A man and a woman appeared before Jiang Li. They were both wearing camouflage outfits like Wang Gang, and were tall and cold. And yet they were different from Wang Gang. Cold Weapon Meches carried a weapon, but it was only an alloy dagger that was put on their outer thigh.

“Hm.”

Jiang Li nodded. “I only have a few meches right now. For convenience, LBQ01, you’ll be called Wang Yan.”

“Yes, Master.” Wang Yan saluted indifferently. She had short hair and a pretty nice body figure. Unfortunately it was a robot. Jiang Li felt a bit sad.

“LBQ02, you’ll be called Wang Long,” Jiang Li said again.

“Yes, Master.” Wang Long saluted.

“Mech Type: Cold Weapon Mech”

“Level: Early stage of level one”

“No.: LBQ01 (Wang Yan)”

“Skills: Controlling level-one elementary cold weapon”

“Characteristics: A mechanical creation that isn’t afraid of dying, can’t feel pain and is extremely loyal. It stops functioning only if its heart is broken or 90% of its body is destroyed. After it dies, it can be recycled for half of the energy points of the cost.”

“Condition to Reach the Next Level: 20 energy points”

…

“Mech Type: Cold Weapon Mech”

“Level: Early stage of level one”

“No.: LBQ02 (Wang Long)”

“Skills: Controlling level-one elementary cold weapon”

“Characteristics: A mechanical creation that isn’t afraid of dying, can’t feel pain and is extremely loyal. It stops functioning only if its heart is broken or 90% of its body is destroyed. After it dies, it can be recycled for half of the energy points of the cost.”

“Condition to Reach the Next Level: 20 energy points”

“Their abilities are basically the same.”

Jiang Li murmured and nodded.

Cold Weapon Meches. These meches only had a “dagger” when they were first made. As their levels went higher, they would eventually get a “stiletto,” “sword” or “long blade.”

Generally speaking, level-one Cold Weapon Meches had already mastered the use of four cold weapons and had extremely strong battling power.

Of course there were exceptions. For example, when making a hundred Cold Weapon Meches, there might be some special elite meches that had weapons like “spears” or “crescent painted halberds.” These elite meches were much stronger, but there was only a slight chance of getting them.

“You’ll go on a mission with me tonight,” Jiang Li said.

“Yes, Master,” Wang Gang replied.

Jiang Li didn’t want to be beaten, so he decided to attack first and eliminate the Scorpion Gang, Axe Gang and Red Flame Gang. With the forces he had right now, he could totally deal with the gangs one at a time.

“Blood Energy Pills.”

Jiang Li picked up the porcelain bottle, opened the lid and poured out the crimson pills.

Blood Energy Pills. They were elementary-grade pills that were suitable for elementary-level Martial Artists to refine their blood and body. However, even such a low-level pill was worth a hundred taels of silver, which was a hundred thousand yuan on Earth.

“Li Hualong and the others basically took all the assets of the Sirius Gang as their own. They even cleared the warehouse of the gang.” Jiang Li said, “Let’s see what the Blood Energy Pills can do.”

Jiang Li took out a Blood Energy Pill and ate it.

Gulp! The Blood Energy Pill slipped into his throat and entered his stomach. After that, it melted and a strong vital energy spread.

Boom! Boom! Jiang Li felt like his organs were vibrating.

“Master,” Wang Gang yelled anxiously.

“I’m fine. Guard the door. Don’t let anyone in,” Jiang Li yelled.

“Yes, Master.” Wang Gang and the others nodded.

“Internal Energy Art.” Jiang Li immediately posed and refined the vital energy inside the Blood Energy Pill with the Internal Energy Art.

Time passed.

An hour later the vital energy and medicine inside the Blood Energy Pill were basically refined by Jiang Li’s Internal Energy Art. Plumes of white smoke billowed out of his body and his face blushed.

The effect is great. It’s indeed a Blood Energy Pill that’s worth a hundred taels of silver. I’m already so close to entering the mid-stage of the elementary level after taking one. Jiang Li felt the changes of his body and was thrilled.

“Again!” Jiang Li took out the second Blood Energy Pill and threw it into his mouth. He squatted down and refined the pill with the Internal Energy Art.

An hour later.

Bang! Jiang Li’s body shook. His energy became stronger and he had successfully entered the mid-stage of the elementary level. The second Blood Energy Pill was completely refined as well.

“I’ve reached the next stage.”

Jiang Li smiled. “Although I don’t really have potential in Martial Arts, it’s okay. As long as I have resources and medicines, I can still reach higher levels easily.”

“There are eight Blood Energy Pills left. I wonder if I can reach the peak stage of the elementary level after taking all of them.”

At midnight.

Jiang Li had taken five Blood Energy Pills and his energy started to become unstable, so he couldn’t continue anymore. He needed time to stabilize his blood. He still couldn’t reach the peak stage after taking three other Blood Energy Pills, which was such a shame.

“Let’s go.”

Creak! The door was opened.

Jiang Li walked out, while Wang Gang, Wang Yan and Wang Long stayed close behind him. They left the Sirius Gang and went to Honghua Street. No one was on the street and it was extremely quiet.

In the sky clouds covered the moon and darkened the entire street.

“Let’s deal with the Scorpion Gang first,” Jiang Li said.
