After Li Hualong died, Jiang Li saw a grey light dot fly out of the dead body like a firefly. It then went into Jiang Li's head through the middle of his eyebrows.
Swish!
"Received a level-one Soul Tinder!"
Jiang Li received a notice.
"Soul Tinder."
Jiang Li's eyes twinkled and he murmured happily, "According to the setting of the game, killing something with a higher level has a certain chance of getting a 'Soul Tinder,' which is a key item for unlocking mech types and army types."
Swish!
"Sub-window: Types of Regular Meches"
"Level-one Mechs: Combat Mech (unlocked), Cold Weapon Mech (can be unlocked), Firearm Mech (locked), Intel Mech (locked), Biochemical Mech (locked)…"
"…"
"Cold Weapon Mech."
Jiang Li immediately opened a sub-window to check the types of Regular Meches. The option, "can be unlocked," appeared for the Cold Weapon Mech.
"Great." Jiang Li was thrilled.
Meanwhile, the remaining six officers, including Su Long, were completely frightened. They looked at one another, then knelt before Jiang Li.
"Chief, please don't kill us!"
"Li Hualong forced us to do this."
"Yes, Chief. We swear we're loyal to you."
"…"
The six officers yelled.
Swish! Jiang Li first closed the windows and stared at the five officers who were kneeling on the floor.
"You swear?" Jiang Li shook his head and said with a mocking tone, "You must have misunderstood this word. So, just go to Hell."
"Wang Gang, kill them all."
"Yes, Master." Wang Gang started to execute Jiang Li's order coldly.
"Argh!!"
"Jiang Li, you bastard! See you in Hell."
"You won't live long if you kill us."
"You're ruining the entire Sirius Gang."
"Fight with him."
"Don't come closer. Don't come closer…"
"Help!"
Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!
A few minutes later in Juyi Hall, there were six more dead bodies. The floor was dyed red by the blood and there was a strong smell of blood in the air.
"Master, I've completed the mission. All six of them have been killed." Wang Gang came up to Jiang Li with blood all over his clothes and reported to Jiang Li.
"Well done." Jiang Li was satisfied, but he wasn't used to the dead bodies and the smell of blood.
"Mech Type: Combat Mech"
"Level: Early stage of level one"
"No.: GD01 (Wang Gang)"
"Skills: Low-grade combat arts of level one"
"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."
"Damage: 10% (repair with 1 energy point)"
"Condition to Reach the Next Level: 20 energy points"
"Are you hurt?" Jiang Li asked.
"10% of damage doesn't affect my performance," Wang Gang replied.
I've underestimated the level-one Martial Artists. Even though Li Hualong is only at the early stage and has just formed his internal force, Wang Gang is already 10% damaged after blocking an attack.
Jiang Li murmured, "I don't have extra energy points now, so I can't repair you at the moment. I'm glad to know it's not affecting you."
"Hey, you two," Jiang Li yelled.
"M… Master." The two members who guarded the entrance ran over and knelt on their knees in awe. They saw what happened in Juyi Hall. From now on, the entire Sirius Gang would be under Jiang Li's command. There was no doubt about it.
"What's your name?" Jiang Li asked.
"I'm Wang Chao, Master," the taller guy on the left answered.
"My name's Ma Han," the guy on the right with tanned skin replied.
"Wang Chao and Ma Han."
Jiang Li touched his nose. "Let me ask you a question. Do you have two brothers called 'Zhang Long' and 'Zhang Hu?'"
"…"
Wang Chao and Ma Han looked at each other with confusion, then shook their heads. "No, Master."
"Alright." Jiang Li shrugged.
"Wang Chao, Ma Han, from now on, you'll work for me."
Jiang Li waved and yelled, "I promise I'll take you to eat something good. Go get a few people here to clean up Juyi Hall."
"Also, pass down my order. The Sirius Gang will abolish the positions of elders and officers for now and everything will be decided by me. Understand?"
"Yes, Master," Wang Chao said right away.
"There's one more thing," Ma Han said nervously.
"What's wrong?" Jiang Li asked.
"Chief, even though this guy is powerful and even killed Li Hualong." Ma Han pointed at Wang Gang and said respectfully, "All three elders and six officers of the Sirius Gang are dead. We don't have any combat power anymore. If the news spread, the gangs next to Honghua Street will definitely take the opportunity to attack us. By then, our gang will be in danger."
"You must be talking about the Scorpion Gang, Axe Gang and Red Flame Gang." Jiang Li waved his hand and said calmly, "They are just three weak gangs. We don't have to be scared of them. If they dare to do anything, I'll make them pay. We can even take over their territories."
"But…" Ma Han smiled wryly.
"Right, what do we have to be afraid of? We'll just kill them all. Ma Han, don't worry about it." Wang Chao patted Ma Han's shoulders.
"…"
Ma Han rolled his eyes.
Brother. Are you dumb? If there's only one other gang, we certainly don't have to worry. And yet, if the three gangs work together, there will be three Martial Artists of early-stage level one and tons of fighters of peak-stage elementary level. We'll be dead no matter what.
"Let's go." Jiang Li got up and left Juyi Hall. Wang Gang walked closely behind him to secure his safety.
"…"
Jiang Li walked past Xiao Lan's body. He glanced at it, then shook his head and didn't say a word. He had never thought Xiao Lan would die just like that. What he could say was, ordinary people were extremely different from Martial Artists.
After that Jiang Li went to the rooms of the three elders and the six officers, and started searching. All of their property was in Jiang Li's hands now.
"Nine ten-year ganodermas, ten ten-year fleeceflower roots, five ten-year wild ginseng, three hundred taels of silver, ten Blood Energy Pills and three Martial Arts secret books."
Jiang Li returned to his room and put everything he got on the table with a smile. "Haha, I've got quite a lot of things. They're all mine now."
