Chapter 20 Preparation
Meng Xingchen did not return to the rental house that night. After riding his bike around the "biological factory" twice, he found a forest and took a nap.

His predecessor had also worked here in shifts before, so he was quite familiar with the area around the biological factory.

The next morning, Meng Xingchen changed into the new set of clothes he had bought yesterday afternoon.

Now that he had money, he bought himself two sets of clothes as backup.

I can't walk around in security uniform all the time, it's a bit conspicuous.

After leaving Lingshan Road, he re-entered the city and made final preparations for exploring the cave tonight.

As for the pistols, rifles, bullets and other items brought here, they were temporarily buried somewhere.

While he was busy with various preparations today, he also wanted to take some time to come and study the use of firearms.

In fact, when he was resting last night, he took a careful look at it with a flashlight, and the instruction manual was very detailed, even including details such as disassembly and assembly.

……

Early in the morning, Meng Xingchen first found a motorcycle and electric vehicle repair shop.

He wanted to make some slight modifications to his Sun-100 to make it easier to carry things.

After listening to Meng Xingchen's modification request, the owner of the repair shop smiled and said, "Brother, are you planning to deliver food or be a deliveryman in a store?"

"It makes no difference." Meng Xingchen said, "How long will it take to finish it?"

"The modification is a bit troublesome. It will probably have to be done tomorrow." The repair shop owner made a rough estimate.

"I'll give you an extra 50 yuan as a deposit. I must use this car in the afternoon." Meng Xingchen took out 50 yuan and handed it to the boss.

The repair shop owner was delighted, "Okay brother, I'll put my other business aside and modify your car first!"

……

After arranging the simple modification of the motorcycle, Meng Xingchen took a taxi and started wandering around Jiangnan City.

First it was a "machine parts processing factory."

When he was working as a security guard, he heard from others that this processing factory had a good reputation and now also accepted general small-batch and even "single-piece customization" business.

After hearing Meng Xingchen's request, the old technician of the processing plant was a little confused, "Your request is a bit special..."

"Can it be made?" Meng Xingchen asked directly.

"Of course I can." The old technician nodded in confirmation, "But there are more processing steps. If I want to guarantee the quality for you, I have to run back and forth. I can't do anything else today... If that's the case, I'm afraid the boss won't agree."

After saying this, the old technician looked at Meng Xingchen and chuckled.

Meng Xingchen read three words from his eyes, "You have to pay more."

"The price is negotiable." Meng Xingchen whispered to the old technician, "In addition to the normal payment for the order, I will give you a private red envelope of 500 yuan. Please work hard on it. When you're done, sharpen it for me."

"..." The old technician's eyes flashed with surprise, "Young man, you are so generous! Don't worry, I will definitely make this thing beautifully for you! The factory just received a batch of raw materials yesterday, and I went to take a look. There is a piece of good steel in it. I will use that to make the embryo, and it is guaranteed to be good!
As for the final sharpening… Although it doesn’t take much effort, the factory probably can’t do it this way. So, I’ll introduce you to a place, just outside the city. Then you can go there and find a boss named Fang. It’s a small workshop next to his house. It costs only fifty yuan at most. He will definitely arrange everything for you, and it will be better than what I do here!”

After saying that, the old technician took out a small notebook, wrote down the address, phone number, and name on it with a pen, then tore it off and handed it to Meng Xingchen.

Meng Xingchen took it, looked at it, and then put it in his pocket.

The real great nirvana is about to come, and he also hopes to collect some information about talents in various aspects.

In this machining shop, he customized a batch of other things and then left.

On the way out of the factory, Meng Xingchen sensed the "God-killing Pearl" in his mind.

"Martial arts: basic free fighting (not yet started), Jeet Kune Do (grandmaster level), basic spearmanship (not yet started), basic body skills (not yet started), basic assassination-dagger skills (not yet started)." "Lifespan: 4 years."

"Do you want to consume your lifespan to improve your skills?"

……

Compared to the previous situation, he now has three more martial arts skills: "Basic Gun Skills, Basic Body Skills, Basic Assassination-Dagger Skills."

The basic shooting skills here are not the use of hot weapons, but the shooting skills of cold weapons.

Last night he looked at the instruction manuals for the pistol and rifle, but the killing god bead in his mind had not responded at all.

After thinking about it, he searched for some cold weapon shooting techniques on the Internet.

It didn't take long for this "Basic Gun Skills" to be formed within the Killing God Pearl.

After mastering the basic marksmanship, Meng Xingchen searched the Internet for information on how to use body movements and footwork, as well as how to use a dagger to stab.

Sure enough, it also didn’t take long before the “Basic Body Movements and Basic Dagger Movements” were generated.

Unfortunately, although the martial arts were generated, to master them, it would obviously consume his lifespan, and he had to practice them himself inside the Killing God Pearl.

This is just a backup, he doesn't have much life left to waste now.

In the future world of Devouring the Stars, cold weapons will be king.

Hot weapons are just a transition, and sooner or later we will have to practice cold weapons.

An inch longer, an inch stronger. After some thought, Meng Xingchen decided to use a spear.

……

The previous taxi was still waiting at the factory gate. Because Meng Xingchen had booked the whole day, he could easily earn a few hundred yuan today.

After getting in a taxi, Meng Xingchen wandered around, inquired, and purchased things in some "hardware markets, electronics markets, shoe and hat clothing markets, and even shoe repairman's stalls" in Jiangnan City.

While riding in the taxi, he browsed various information on the Internet.

After working for a whole morning, he had basically ordered or purchased everything he needed.

During this period, the company's security captain called again and Meng Xingchen said that he was sick and would go to the company tomorrow to handle layoff compensation and other procedures.

At noon, Meng Xingchen ate something, then found a hotel room for an hour and rested for four hours.

I got up at around three in the afternoon, called the taxi I had taken earlier, and headed to Lingshan Road.

Not far from his second gun-burying site, he got off the car on a mountain road and told the driver to drive around first, do some odd jobs, and call him later.

Of course the driver was more than happy to oblige, so he stepped on the accelerator and drove away.

After the driver left, Meng Xingchen moved quickly through the dense forest alone.

Soon, he found a cave.

We entered the cave to investigate, but found no one inside.

He went back to the place where he had buried the guns and dug out the pistol, submachine rifle and bullets.

Coming to the cave again, he placed his cell phone in the grass outside, turned on the recording function, and then entered the cave to test the gun.

He had never fired a gun before, so he had to practice before taking action tonight.
