*Ding ding ding――*
Just as I logged into my new QQ account, a message notification chimed.
"Oh no! The sound is too loud!"
Jia Yan's heart skipped a beat. He had forgotten one thing: to lower the volume of the computer. The sound was very clear at the moment!
He quickly used his right forefoot and right middle foot to control the mouse, like two fingers, clicking on the left and right buttons respectively.
Although a bit clumsy, it was a hundred times better than when he was just a mutant mosquito!
No need to bump with his body, no need to exert too much effort. Compared to before, life was much happier.
He adjusted the system sound to 'mute'!
Listening, there was no one attracted by the sound around him. Jia Yan breathed a sigh of relief.
"This number hasn't added anyone else, and only those two guys would send me a message. Let's see what they have to say!"
Opening the message, the blinking avatar indeed showed a handsome image of a Korean Oppa.
"Hello, we would like to discuss something with you, which is inviting you to join our organization. What do you think? Please reply when you see this!"
Invite me?
Jia Yan narrowed his compound eyes. It seemed that those two killers really regarded him as some kind of expert.
In fact, although the two killers indeed regarded Jia Yan as an expert, it didn't mean they saw him as a formidable figure in the killer world! Because when they looked back at Jia Yan's actions, there were still many inexperienced aspects.
But being able to quietly gather all their information and even know where they lived was definitely the method of a master. So they couldn't be sure whether this guy nicknamed "Chongwen" was really strong or just pretending.
Without thinking, Jia Yan directly typed a response with his forefeet.
Finally, he could evolve from "body bumping" to classic "two-finger typing" technique. What a huge improvement! Jia Yan almost felt like shedding tears of emotion at this moment!
This was how you played with a computer.
In the chat box, he typed this line!
"Although I currently have no intention of joining your organization, I am not against considering it in the future! I wonder where you two are right now? I actually need your help with something, and if possible, please lend me a hand. Thank you very much!"
Jia Yan's typing speed had increased significantly. The "two-finger typing" technique was indeed much stronger than bumping with his body!
The invitation from the other side didn't interest Jia Yan at all, but this time he needed to ask for help again. If he outright refused, the other party might not pay attention to his request for help. After all, this was the second time. When he was in Shanghai, he helped them kill Yu Tao, but he also helped the police catch Yu Yuan, which was considered even. Then, looking for the Northeast Tiger Factory made them provide intelligence, which was considered a favor.
Now, asking for help again with such shamelessness, Jia Yan felt that he, as a "senior," wasn't setting a good example.
Jia Yan waited for a while. If the other party wasn't online, he could only leave a message and check back tomorrow when he logged in again.
Unexpectedly, the other party was still online!
At the same time, on the other side of the ocean, in the eastern region of the country called Stars and Stripes.
It was afternoon here, and the scorching sun was shining on the earth.
Two men were driving on the wide road.
Both of these men had typical East Asian faces, but they could speak fluent Stars and Stripes English, as if they were native Stars and Stripes people.
Suddenly, the driver's bearded face changed, and a clock-like sound came from his pocket!
Then he reached into his pants pocket and took out his phone.
Shortly after, the young man in glasses in the passenger seat also leaned over...
A moment later, Jia Yan received a reply!
"Hello, we are currently in the Stars and Stripes country! It's a pity that we can't cooperate with you. We are looking forward to future cooperation. As for your request for help, what is it about? As long as it's not a big problem, we are willing to help."
Jia Yan nodded with a smile in his heart. It seemed that these two guys were really not bad. In that case, if there were opportunities in the future, he could help them once or twice within his capabilities, which could be considered repaying the favor!
He thought for a moment and then typed a line of words.
The following request might surprise the other party or leave them puzzled, but Jia Yan didn't care about that much anymore. To him, this was the most effective way to improve his combat power in the short term!
"I have a metal concept here. Can you help me find the best metal you can find and make it according to the design? "
Jia Yan anxiously stared at the screen!
At this point, many people should be able to guess what Jia Yan's short-term method of enhancing combat power is!
That's right!
It's a metal exoskeleton!
Jia Yan had thought of this in the underworld long ago. He evaluated his strength, defense, and attack methods!
All in all, he felt that he was lacking in defense and attack methods.
In terms of strength, it was definitely sufficient!
After all, with his current body size of more than twenty centimeters, being able to lift a weight of fifteen or sixteen kilograms while flying was simply against biological laws.
And the strength of his six long legs was also sufficient. The forelegs could lift about ten kilograms of weight, the middle legs could lift about eight kilograms of weight and push objects weighing up to twenty kilograms, while the hind legs couldn't lift much, but they had a pushing force of about forty kilograms!
These strengths were quite considerable, so after pondering for a long time in the underworld, Jia Yan finally found inspiration from the sci-fi movies he had seen before! That was the metal exoskeleton!
Although his body was not large and not heavy, in relative terms, his strength was immense!
So he didn't need other power sources. Instead, he could rely on his own strength to carry a heavy metal exoskeleton on his back, flying and attacking in the air!
This was a brilliant idea, wasn't it?!
The other side fell silent for a long time.
This also greatly tested Jia Yan's patience. He wondered if he was being too abrupt?
Or did the other party associate something through his request? After all, if he was really a "formidable" senior, then he shouldn't be bothering them with everything!
And in fact, the two killers on the other side were indeed discussing these issues.
"This senior is really interesting. He's bothering us with this kind of thing. We are killers, not metal factory workers!" The bearded man smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"But in that case, we can make a few analyses. The first point is that the other party really doesn't have resources in this area, which is indeed a bit unbelievable for a master. Then the second point is probably more reasonable, that is, the other party has extremely high demands for this metal, so high that they couldn't find a suitable
one in their environment, so they asked us." The young man in glasses pushed his glasses and slowly analyzed.
"How should we respond? After all, we are not familiar with metal forging." The bearded man felt that the image of the "senior" on the other side of the chat box had completely overturned his previous impression, which was quite surprising.
But the other party should have some means, after all, in a situation where there were so many guards, this person could use the Chr-379 virus provided by them to kill Yu Tao.
So he followed the young man in glasses' words and first asked a question.
"Senior, what do you want to build? We are not very familiar with the metal forging industry. If your project is too exaggerated, we definitely can't do it. But if it's just a small project, we can see if we can find a suitable way through the organization."
Jia Yan was almost falling asleep at the computer.
But this message suddenly appeared, making him alert!
"It's not a big project, just a model component, no more than half a meter in size. However, the requirements for the metal are very high. It looks like a insect in appearance. Can you ask if you can do it?!"
Another long wait passed.
After more than ten minutes, Jia Yan received a reply!
"We can arrange for a metal factory in the Germanic country to make it for you. As for the metal, our organization can use a batch of top-grade steel from Stars and Stripes as a gift to you, since you don't need much quantity, so this is not a big problem."
Great!
Jia Yan felt excited in his heart, and then he continued to type out a line somewhat awkwardly.
"I'm sorry, I don't know how you charge for this. I'm a bit tight on cash recently, so, uh..."
"Haha, this is not a big problem. Talking about money hurts feelings! Just remember, if you ever intend to join a killer organization, prioritize joining us!"
The reply from the other side made Jia Yan truly touched.
At first, Jia Yan was really just using them, and he even had the idea of using the Chr-379 virus to kill them at any time, after all, they were just killers.
But now, after helping him find the Northeast Tiger Factory and agreeing to help make the exoskeleton without asking for anything in return, Jia Yan was truly moved.
Next time, if there was a chance, and if their assassination target was indeed tricky and a bad person, he would help them out!
Although Jia Yan felt that he had lost the advantage of being a small and delicate mosquito now, killing someone wouldn't be much easier than being a killer, but he still made a decision to repay these two killers when the opportunity arose!
"Thank you! As for the overall shape of the metal component, I will draw the pattern within three hours and hand it over to you. I hope it can be completed and delivered to me as soon as possible!"
Jia Yan replied with this sentence, and then he didn't even have time to read the reply from the other party. He clicked on the image editing software he had just downloaded on the computer.
First, he searched the internet for mosquito pictures that resembled his own appearance. Then, he created a new layer on the picture, looking at his own body while pushing the mouse.
He was roughly sketching out the appearance of the exoskeleton he wanted!
"The six long legs should have a motion switch. When the switch is turned on, the front section can be removed to show a normal foreleg state, but when this section of metal is put on, sharp blades can be attached to the front section!"
Jia Yan thought carefully as he sketched.
