In an old neighborhood of a certain city in England.
Next to the garbage dump in the sewer.
Arnold's pupils were dim. He leaned weakly against the wall pipe that leaked dirty water.
Compared to a month ago, his body was hunched, and his body had shrunk.
The greasy black overcoat covered the broken and shabby mechanical parts on his body.
His left eye had been disguised and modified, and he wore a pair of old smart glasses.
In the sewer world that extended in all directions.
His messy and dirty image was not eye-catching. He mixed with the beggars, human traffickers, and gamblers.
Thump!
A drunk gambler stepped on Arnold's leg and accidentally tripped on the ground.
"Stupid beggar!"
The gambler slapped Arnold twice and kicked him a few times.
Arnold grunted and did not resist. He remembered the gambler's appearance.
In his current state, once he made a move, he might expose his identity as a biochemical machine.
"The Superpower Bureau and Beichen have already chased to this city. It's been three days, and the nearby tracking hasn't stopped. "
Arnold's expression was heavy.
A kind of resentment and grievance suppressed his heart.
That day.
Although he escaped, he was seriously injured. His mechanical parts were seriously damaged, and his combat strength was reduced by more than half.
It seemed that the mysterious person who saved him had inadvertently left it behind.
The key was …
His compressed space bag was taken away by Luo Liang, and he was penniless.
The mechanical parts on his body could not be repaired, and all kinds of methods and countermeasures were missing.
This led to him being caught by the Superpower Bureau to track him down.
After half a month of running for his life, he had no supplies, was hungry, and was tired. It was a vicious cycle.
His condition was extremely bad.
"Luo … Liang …"
Arnold's feelings toward this culprit were rather complicated.
He once had resentment in his heart.
But he knew in his heart that if not for Luo Liang's help, he would not have been able to extort resources to reach Level 3, and he would not have been able to survive until now.
He recalled the experience that day.
Luo Liang hid too well. It was really scary.
Not only did he save the hostage, but he also took down both Beichen and him, the kidnapper.
Even now, Arnold still could not understand Luo Liang.
Unfathomable strength and methods, plus such a young age.
Arnold gave up on the idea and decided to avoid provoking such people in the future.
"Let's not talk about provoking Luo Liang … It's hard to say if we can escape capture …"
Arnold felt bitter in his heart.
Just as he was in the midst of his deliberations.
Shua!
A bronze badge appeared out of thin air in front of him.
What was that?!
Arnold was shocked. The detection equipment on his body didn't respond.
Dozens of seconds passed.
The bronze token floated in the air, and the nearby beggars and poor people ignored it.
"What kind of technology is this?"
Arnold's expression was hesitant, fearful of guessing, but also inexplicably expectant.
At the same time, in the Source Space.
Luo Liang closed his eyes. Through the bronze token, he perceived a gray, hazy interface.
He saw Arnold's haggard face and bloodshot eyes.
And at this moment, his expression was filled with anticipation and fear.
Luo Liang chose Arnold for many reasons.
He was selecting a team of subordinates, not a big shot. The organization didn't lack big shots.
Arnold's talent and scheming were top-notch. He had ready-made combat power and could be considered an elite of the same level.
Luo Liang was more clear about his background and could easily control him.
Furthermore.
As the first target, there was a certain "experimental" element.
Anyway, he was a tool.
He wasn't worried about breaking him.
"It's starting."
Luo Liang was slightly expectant. He issued the corresponding instructions through the token.
It wasn't compulsory for the organization to pull people in.
In essence, it was a two-way choice. Some people refused to join.
In the sewer.
The token made a cold mechanical sound.
"Do you want to change the fate of being trampled on by others and have the power to trample on the rules of the world?"
Hearing this sentence.
Arnold's heart resonated and trembled. His eyes suddenly lit up.
Luo Liang could control the content of the token's sound.
He understood Arnold's tragic life. His girlfriend was raped and killed, he killed a rich kid, he became a superpower wanted criminal, and to his current miserable and sullen situation, he must have resentment against the injustice of fate and an extreme thirst for power.
"A big shot from a mysterious organization has chosen you," the mechanical voice said.
"A big shot from a mysterious organization? Can he make me stronger and destroy those who play with my fate? "
Arnold's eyes flickered with an invisible flame.
He was an outer member of the Dark Net and had a good vision.
The various signs of the bronze token appearing out of thin air were beyond all the forces he knew.
For him, this could be an opportunity or a step into an endless abyss.
"The organization is omnipotent."
"That big shot has a lofty status and wields the power of the heavens. You can choose to join the organization and become his subordinate."
"Why did that big shot choose me?"
Arnold took a deep breath.
"His level is unfathomable and indescribable. Maybe it's a spur of the moment cultivation, or maybe it's to cultivate Gu. "
The mechanical voice said indifferently.
Him?
Even just by listening to the voice, Arnold could oddly perceive the meaning of this word.
"What if I refuse?"
Arnold had already made up his mind and curiously asked.
"You will have your memories erased."
"Join or leave. You only have one chance to choose. "
"I'll join." Arnold solemnly said.
The moment he agreed.
Shua!
The bronze token flashed and fused with his body.
A bronze imprint appeared on Arnold's arm, giving him a burning sensation.
This was one of the many ways the organization recruited people.
There were also all sorts of strange ways. For example, if a "YES" or "NO" popped up on a webpage, then clicking "YES" could lead you to a mysterious space.
The source space.
The grayish-white vision in Luo Liang's senses shook slightly.
Not only could Luo Liang clearly see the outline of Arnold's face, but he could also grasp his vital signs.
Heartbeat, speech, breathing, even the surrounding environment, everything was clear.
Luo Liang couldn't help but have a thought. If he could recruit a beauty similar to Lin Qingqing into the organization, wouldn't he be able to see even the details of bathing?
The source space. A few minutes later.
A robust man codenamed "Destructive Robot" appeared in the space, looking around with a confused expression.
The destructive machine was none other than Arnold.
Luo Liang thought for a moment, used his authority, and gave the mission of popularizing the newcomer to Bitter Medicine.
And then.
Under the alias of Lengyue Wusheng, he gave Bitter Medicine a hint that this person was one of the seedlings chosen by the leader to raise Gu.
With Bitter Medicine's current level, he wouldn't care about the 500 points for the newcomer's mission.
But this person was a seedling chosen by the leader, so he had to treat him seriously.
Bitter Medicine patiently introduced the organization's information to Arnold, expressing his goodwill.
When Arnold heard the organization's popularizing, he was extremely shocked. He was like a frog that walked out of the bottom of a well and saw the tip of the iceberg of a transcendental organization that covered the heavens.
Bitter Medicine's words vaguely revealed that this person might be a lofty figure on the level of the King Of Medicine.
"The big shot who pulled me into the organization should be the 'leader' he mentioned."
Arnold's heart was in awe.
"Are you also in Maple Leaf?" Liangyao asked bitterly.
"Senior, I'm not in Maple Leaf."
Arnold denied.
Just now.
A cold and solemn mechanical voice sounded in his heart:
"Don't mention the existence of that big shot. Don't reveal any information in reality."
Luo Liang was secretly paying attention.
With his identity as the organization's "mysterious big shot", he definitely wouldn't explain to Arnold in person.
Letting Bitter Medicine, the King Of Medicine, popularize the science would better serve as a foil to his transcendental level.
After Bitter Medicine's explanation.
He gave the 500 points to Arnold and also gave him some commonly used and worthless pills.
"Thank you, senior."
Arnold shed tears of gratitude.
Bitter Medicine had just left.
Ding!
[Leader??? A mission is issued to you.]
[Mission name: Ready to go]
[Mission content: Settle things in reality, go to Tiandu City, and listen to the dispatch of a mysterious young man.]
[Mission level: Guide mission]
[Mission reward: 500 points.]
With the relationship between Luo Liang and Arnold, giving the mission to the other party wouldn't consume the mission's number of times.
How much reward was given was up to him.
"Yes, sir."
Arnold respectfully accepted the mission.
Half a day later.
Arnold went back and forth between reality and space.
Taking Bitter Medicine's pills to recover his injuries.
With 1000 points in hand, he carefully calculated and bought materials and accessories for Biochemical Mechanics in the Freedom Federation channel.
This kind of mechanical material was very cheap in the organization.
Some members were in advanced and high-tech civilizations, and some low-level materials could even be mass-produced.
The next morning.
In an empty corner of the sewer.
"I've recovered to my peak, no, my strength has increased."
Arnold's expression was agitated.
In this case, he was confident that he could escape tracking. Under the command of that big shot in the organization, his strength would continue to skyrocket.
His theoretical realm of Biochemical Mechanics was very high. As long as there were enough materials, it wouldn't be difficult to reach the peak of level 3 in a short period of time.
"The organization's resources are very beneficial to Arnold's situation."
Luo Liang observed through the gray vision and nodded secretly.
The existence of the organization's iron rules.
Luo Liang actually couldn't force Arnold to do anything.
But Luo Liang could communicate with Arnold at any time, know his status, and have the right to kick him out of the organization!
Unless he was promoted to a leader, he could choose to break this relationship.
This level was enough for Luo Liang to control him until the end of his work.
As long as he didn't do anything too excessive, Arnold wouldn't dare to disobey him. He would still be loyal and receive training.
The next morning.
Luo Liang got up and paid attention to Arnold again. The latter had already left the sewer and fled to another big city, temporarily escaping from the crisis.
"Well, this seed has been planted."
Luo Liang smiled and retracted his attention.
He cultivated his forces not to deal with the current situation, such as the threat of the Phantom Snake or the Greedy Snake.
Luo Liang wasn't afraid of the individual members of Hydra, and he wasn't afraid of this trouble.
His sledgehammer had been thirsty for a long time.
He wanted to find a few Level 3 City-state Level players to hammer.
But this matter reminded him.
Cultivating his forces was to prepare for a rainy day, to prevent more troubles and threats in the future.
Luo Liang wasn't afraid of trouble.
But he had relatives and friends, as well as future girlfriends, something worth protecting.
Pulling Arnold into the organization was his first attempt.
In the villa.
Luo Liang cultivated as usual in the morning, but he didn't use the hammering method.
The hammering method couldn't be used frequently. Once or twice a month was enough.
"Well, I've already hammered myself and my roommates. Next, it's Mengyao's turn."
Luo Liang's mouth slightly raised.
Last time, Dong Mengyao agreed to his private spar.
He sent a private message to Dong Mengyao.
Luo Liang: I've consolidated my cultivation. Today I'm looking for you to spar and discuss.
Luo Liang: Come here.
Luo Liang sent the villa's location to Dong Mengyao.
