Chapter 85 Swallowing Radiation
Chapter 85 Swallowing Radiation
As night fell, Gao Xin moved into Kerry's house and took a nice bath.
If you count carefully, he hasn't taken a bath for several days.
It took me an hour to wash, and I just washed off a layer of skin.
He finally stopped when his hair even grew back.
He came out refreshed and looked at himself in the mirror. He weighed about 40 kilograms.
It is 1.82 meters tall but weighs only 40 kilograms. Moreover, the muscle density of a real wolf is very high, so it looks as skinny as a ghost.
However, when Gao Xin closed his eyes and opened them again, his appearance changed slightly.
His thin face became rounder, as if he had grown a lot of flesh out of nowhere.
He pinched it a few times with his hands, but his hands went straight through the mold and were submerged in the skin...
Gao Xin smiled and put on the full set of combat uniform. Suddenly, he looked less thin and instead looked like a strong young man.
"Dong dong dong."
Kerry knocked on the door outside: "Grandpa, dinner is served to you."
Gao Xin opened the door and let him in, and Kerry put the lunch boxes on the table.
The irradiated people have a very large appetite, especially for ordinary food, and they hardly gain weight.
But it’s different for Gao Xin. He has a real tiger-level digestive flora and can still squeeze out some high-energy protein.
"Where's the radix meat I want?"
"At this."
Kerry took out a roasted beef leg, weighing 40 kilograms.
"Well, I won't make any profit from you. It's 400 points in total, and the point for dinner is a free gift for you."
Gao Xin knew that this was a fair price. The Silver Tower was exchanged for sub-wolf-level radiated beast meat at fifteen points per kilogram!
Kerry bought it from the black market for only 10 points per kilogram. This was because Shankou Village itself was breeding radiation beasts, so the cost was much lower. Some of it was supplied internally, and some was circulated in the village market.
Unless the quantity required is extremely large, the major forces will not exchange such things that they can produce themselves with the Silver Tower.
Gao Xin ate the meat with big mouthfuls and finally felt a little fuller.
At this time, there was loud music coming from downstairs, and the crowd was roaring and shouting.
"The sound insulation in this place is really poor." Gao Xin wiped his mouth and looked out the window.
Kerry's house, above a pub.
Located in the eastern part of Yamaguchi Village, it is very remote and the surrounding streets are all ordinary reinforced concrete buildings.
Going further out, there are shacks where a group of hard-working slaves live.
The bar has a total of four floors. The first and second floors are full of lights and wine and are very noisy. The third floor is where Kerry's four houses are located, and the fourth floor is the territory of the bar owner.
Kerry laughed and said, "Haha, the party will start downstairs at 8:30 p.m."
"Just make do with it. It's only three points of indulgence a day. It's really not expensive."
"Look at this decoration, it's so tasteful, I did it all myself."
Gao Xin took out 430 indulgence points and gave them to him, which was enough for food and ten days' rent.
"My Lord, you're only staying for ten days?" Kerry felt a little disappointed.
Gao Xin smiled and said, "Just continue slowly."
"Boss, since you see my service is so good, just stay a few more months." Kerry rubbed his hands with a mercenary look on his face.
His service was indeed good. As the landlord, he also ran errands and delivered meals to Gao Xin. Not only did he run errands for free, he also gave away a lot of ordinary food for free.
Obviously, this is to earn his rent money.
Gao Xin said with a smile: "You are quite free? Why? You can't rent out your house, so you serve me, a tenant?"
"Ahem..." Kerry smiled awkwardly: "I rented out a unit and earned 90 bucks a month, which is enough for me to live comfortably. At least I won't starve."
Gao Xin said, "Didn't you get 1800 points in this game? Do you still care about this little rent?"
Kerry said seriously, "I usually go to the Silver Tower to play games when I'm broke. It's fine this way, but this time, I was matched with a high-end game of your group of big guys."
"If it weren't for you this time, I might not be able to come back. I should be on the blacklist. For safety reasons, I will never participate in the game again."
"That's just right. I made 1,800 this time, which is enough for me to live comfortably for a year or two."
Gao Xin asked curiously, "Are you really going to just muddle through like this?"
Kerry shrugged. "What else? I worked so hard to earn money to buy four houses, just to stop living a life of fighting and killing. I only spent 2,000 points on each house, and I can get my money back after renting it out in two years."
"You spent eight thousand just on buying a house? Wouldn't it be better to use these indulgences to improve your strength?" Gao Xin was puzzled.
Kerry curled his lips and said, "Improve your strength? I'm just a Class N Radiator, that's the limit."
"I risked my life and lived a hard life. Even if I made myself the Wolf King, what good would it do? On this island, I am still like an ant."
"And if you pursue power, you will easily attract powerful enemies and cause trouble."
"It's good like it is now. I have no grudges against anyone. I collect rent, have food and drink, and occasionally go to the bar downstairs to have fun."
"Isn't this a happy life?"
Gao Xin had nothing to say. Everyone has their own aspirations. Life does not necessarily need to be grand and wonderful. What the Great Holy Spirit needs is a variety of life experiences, no matter how ordinary or not.
He just thought for a moment and asked, "What did you do to get in here?"
"Well...it's not a big deal, just sentenced to five years." Kerry was a little reluctant to say it.
Gao Xin casually asked, "Is it theft?"
"..." Kerry was stunned. There are many crimes that can be sentenced to five years in prison. He didn't know why Gao Xin would say it so directly.
"You...you knew me before?"
Gao Xin smiled and said, "I don't know you, but you are a dirty person. You stole my things while I was taking a shower."
"The technique is good, he seems like a habitual thief."
Kerry's face was stiff, and then he laughed: "Ah...hahaha, I was just kidding you, I just wanted to see if you would be anxious if the box you carry with you is lost."
As he spoke, he took out the metal box containing the radioactive material from his arms and placed it on the table obediently.
Gao Xin said calmly, "No wonder your house can't be rented out. Have people who stay at your house ever lost something?"
Kerry waved his hands quickly: "No, no, I never steal regular customers."
"If I really wanted to steal you, how could I have brought you to my home with countless opportunities?"
Seeing that Gao Xin didn't respond, he said anxiously, "Really, I'm just too curious. When your clothes exploded during the battle, this thing fell off, and I was curious about what it was."
"After that, you changed your clothes and kept this thing with you, so...so when you were taking a shower, I suddenly had the idea to take a sneak peek."
"Really, I just felt itchy and couldn't control myself for a moment!"
Kerry clapped his hands quickly.
Gao Xin said calmly: "You did it on impulse, otherwise I would have killed you."
"You were delivering food to the door and were about to knock, but you found that I was still taking a shower. You suddenly changed your mind and sneaked in. You took the box and wanted to open it. At this time, I stopped taking a shower. You were so scared that you quickly retreated and pretended to knock on the door just now..."
Hearing him recounting everything, Kerry broke out in a cold sweat.
Who is this person? He is taking a shower while observing the living room so vigilantly?
Did you even know about his hesitation outside the door?
"You... you have shock sensing? No... shock sensing is not that powerful. It also requires infrared vision and thermal sensing to be able to take a shower and see what is happening outside the door as if with your own eyes." The corner of Kerry's mouth twitched.
Gao Xin remained noncommittal. These abilities combined were almost equivalent to his mind.
When he was taking a shower, it seemed that there was no one in the living room, but in fact, Dad, Aunt Yao and others were sitting on the sofa... and Yinshou was squatting outside the door smoking.
Kerry was literally stealing right in front of the three of them.
Seeing that Gao Xin didn't say anything, Kerry felt under great pressure and suddenly put 430 indulgences on the table.
"Haha, Lord Tai Sui is really awesome. This meal is on me. You can live in this house as you like. I won't charge you rent." Kerry smiled awkwardly, his heart bleeding.
But he was even more unwilling to provoke a strong enemy, and he could only blame himself for being obsessed and having an occupational disease...
Gao Xin stretched out his hand and opened the box: "If you want to see it, just ask me directly."
Kerry quickly covered his face and turned his head to the side: "No, no, no, don't show it to me! I don't know, I didn't see anything."
But even though he didn't see it, his epidermal cells were still damaged by a wave of radiation.
This still made him feel something, and he asked in surprise: "What is that? There is radiation?"
"Quick! Close it!"
Gao Xin smiled and said, "The contents inside are not valuable. It's just 16 kilograms of radioactive material."
Kerry looked over at him after hearing him say that. "Uranium? It's not really worth much. You can buy one kilogram for five points of indulgence."
"But... this box is valuable! It can actually block such high levels of radiation. It's completely imperceptible. The material is extraordinary. It might be worth three hundred points."
Then, Gao Xin filled a glass with radioactive substances and drank it directly from his mouth. "Wardfa?"
Gao Xin drank it all in one gulp, digesting it silently, and closed the box at the same time.
Suddenly he felt as if there was a warm sun in his body, continuously providing him with energy. All the cells in his body became excited and his physical strength surged.
The physical strength that had been weakened by the development of [Color-changing Cells] was restored visibly to the naked eye.
In addition, he has already eaten and drunk enough, and the digestive fungi are constantly synthesizing the substances needed for his development.
Gao Xin smiled faintly: "This is just uranyl nitrate, not high-concentration uranium. If you take a small amount, the radiation is not too great. My body can completely withstand the absorption."
"Would you like to try some?"
Kerry was ashamed: "I can absorb the radiation, but this thing is highly toxic! I can't degrade it if I eat it..."
Gao Xin shrugged: "I need to digest it too. Go back and rest first. I'll call you later."
"OK..." Kerry said goodbye immediately.
Gao Xin was alone in the room, and couldn't wait to call Yin Shou to start the fantasy training.
Forty kilograms of radiated beast meat, which can be eaten directly as medicine, as well as various ordinary foods, plus radioactive substances to continuously provide energy.
Gao Xin practiced for six hours.
He sweated profusely as he refined all the food, and his weight increased by thirty kilograms at a rapid rate.
As expected, the radiated beast meat is the most powerful. But this is only sub-wolf grade radiated beast meat. If it is real wolf grade, he said that the conversion rate under the Heart Forging would most likely be more than ninety-nine percent.
After all, he can directly imagine the radiated beast meat as his own flesh to make up for it, and the adaptation rate is maximized.
When taken as medicine, the direct absorption efficiency is also maximized. The remaining material basis is left to the digestive flora to break down into various required substances.
At this point, he finally returned to his weight when he first arrived on the island, 70 kilograms.
However, due to the high muscle density of the wolf level, he is still very thin.
Gao Xin estimated that he would have to weigh at least 200 kilograms to look relatively strong.
"I can now lift 2100 kilograms."
"The explosive coefficient is 3.0, and the impact force of the charged punch can reach 6300 kilograms."
"If the organ is overclocked, the burst coefficient will soar to 6.0..."
"That is to say, my maximum explosive force is 12600 kilograms!"
After training for four hours, Gao Xin only felt hungry, but he was not tired at all and was still full of energy.
The radioactive substances he absorbed into his body continuously provided him with energy.
It can be said that as long as the half pound of radioactive substances he consumed is not exhausted, his high-energy cells can continue to be recharged.
The body is equivalent to carrying a biological power bank with you.
"I'm afraid that starting from the True Tiger level, those strong ones will not be exhausted to death by the weak ones."
Gao Xin realized the horror of the real tiger level by looking at his own experience.
He has a true tiger-level digestive flora, and can still do this. We can imagine that a true tiger-level powerhouse is not simply ten times as powerful as a true wolf-level powerhouse.
Strength is only a basic attribute, and the energy that can actually be utilized is far higher than the wolf level.
If it is combined with some special genetic skills, the actual combat power may be dozens or even hundreds of times that of the wolf level.
"It's midnight now, let's go to the black market first."
Gao Xin took another shower and went to see Kerry at 2:30 in the morning.
Kerry hadn't slept yet either.
The two went out late at night and headed for the so-called black market.
That is a garbage disposal plant. All the domestic garbage from the entire Yamaguchi Village is sent here for disposal.
Mountain of garbage piled up like a peak, stinking to high heaven.
There were many scavengers living in shacks nearby. They sorted out the useful things and sent the useless things to a factory in carts.
There are huge machines in the factory that work day and night, melting and compressing all kinds of garbage into ugly particles.
"These garbage particles are the food for the radiated beasts," Kerry introduced.
Gao Xin raised his eyebrows. Indeed, tiger-level creatures can digest these things. Some of the particles generated by organic waste can also be eaten by wolves.
It turns out that the feed for radiated beasts is made directly from garbage, no wonder the cost is so low.
Inside the garbage factory, there were a dozen burly men with tattoos of ferocious beasts, carrying heavy machine guns on their backs and grenades hanging around their waists. They were like a group of gangsters, eating, drinking and chatting wantonly.
Kerry went up to negotiate a few words and paid two indulgences, then two strong men took them to an elevator.
Through the elevator, they arrived more than ten meters underground, and the view in front of them suddenly opened up to a bustling underground street market.
"This is the territory of the Black Blood Gang. They are the second most powerful force in Yamaguchi Village after the Yakuza. They have three hundred black hands," Kerry introduced.
Gao Xin asked, "I have been in Shankou Village for less than half a month. Can you tell me about the forces here?"
He took the opportunity to ask, how did Kerry know that he was a newcomer? Hearing him say that he had only been in Shankou Village for half a month, he thought he came from the territory of other forces.
"The power of Yamaguchi Village is simple. It is dominated by the Yakuza. They are the biggest local gangs and they crush other small gangs. There is no suspense."
"Things like the Black Blood Gang, the Viking Gang, and the Nice Family, they only have a few thousand people and are completely dependent on the Yakuza."
"There are even smaller groups of several hundred or even dozens of people, but they are not worth mentioning."
"On the other hand, the Yakuza have 60,000 men. Although half of them are slaves, they also have 7,000 black hands and more than 20,000 thugs. Looking at the entire Yamato Territory, they are also the strongest force."
"The seven thousand Black Hands were divided into three groups. The three groups were the Loyalty Black Hands Group with 3,000 people, the Courage Black Hands Group with 3,000 people, and the headquarters Black Hands Group with 1,000 people."
"The Second Loyal and Brave Regiment is the patrolling and stationed black hands we usually see. They are sub-wolf-level Japanese, or true wolf-level or higher foreign warriors. They can join after passing a series of initiation tests. The two regiments together have about fifty tigers."
"As for the Black Hand Group, they are the core force of the Yakuza. All of them are Japanese, and the minimum threshold is True Wolf level. They are equipped with C+ level weapons, armor and shields."
"The cadres are at least Yakuza Tigers, and their leader is even more powerful, the Finger Gunner Suzuki Masamoto, the strongest black hand of the Yakuza, and a quasi-Tiger King."
"But they are not in the village. They spend most of their time stationed and training in the territory of Kaiwang Port, taking orders from Fujiwara Tomotaka."
After hearing Kerry introduce the power of the Yakuza, Gao Xin felt not optimistic.
Even the strongest Black Hand Group is not in the village.
The Yakuza still has 6,000 Black Hands and 50 Tiger-level cadres, and they should also have stronger elephants.
People like Sasaki and Akagi are just the most common sub-wolf-level black hands among them, not to mention that they also have various weapons and equipment.
The entire Yakuza was still an existence that he could not possibly challenge. After much thought, he realized that the only option was to escape. This way, even if they were pursued, they would not be able to send too many strong men to chase the fugitives.
Kerry continued, "The Black Blood Gang, the Viking Gang, and the Nice Family are all about the same strength, with a thousand thugs and three hundred black hands."
"The Vikings and the Nice family are lackeys of the Yakuza. The Yakuza take the lion's share of all business, and they just get some leftovers."
"The Black Blood Gang is different. They are probably the only relatively independent organization in Yamaguchi Village. If they get angry, they dare to challenge the Yakuza."
Gao Xin was surprised: "With only 300 Black Hands, you dare to challenge us? Aren't they as powerful as the Viking Gang?"
Kerry smiled and said, "I'm only talking about their base in Yamaguchi Village. The Black Blood Gang is an organization spread throughout the entire Neptune Port."
"We have bases in the three major regions of Neptune Territory, Nushui Township, and Yamato Territory, and we own the garbage disposal plants and radiation beast feed businesses in nine villages in total."
"Even though the total number of the Black Hands does not exceed 3,000, they are widely distributed and have connections with the dominant forces in every village."
"If the Yakuza dare to bully them casually, then the overlords of other villages may come to interfere."
Gao Xin suddenly realized that the Yakuza, a force that dominated an entire village, might have no rivals internally, but it still had mortal enemies and forces that they feared externally.
It seems that the boss of the Black Blood Gang is very smart. He knows how to make friends with various major forces, use the relationships between them to entangle each other, and then profit from it.
Although they cannot dominate a village, they can thrive in every village. Even if they fail to do well and are destroyed, at most they will destroy a stronghold, and it is impossible to be completely destroyed.
"This force circulates in multiple territories. Can it enter and exit Yamaguchi Village at will?"
Gao Xin suddenly thought of something and asked hurriedly.
Kerry nodded: "Of course."
Gao Xin asked again: "Then can they do human trafficking with the Yakuza?"
Kerry tilted his head: "You mean buying thugs? Of course, otherwise, how can a small gang like this replenish its manpower after it loses personnel?"
"You have to know that the dominant forces in all villages have a monopoly on the source of new recruits."
"As for the so-called scattered people, they are called scattered people, but who isn't the remnant of a gang in the past? It's just that the previous gang was destroyed. So it's not impossible to recruit scattered people, but you have to be selective, otherwise it may involve the grievances of some powerful organizations. It's better to directly buy new Radiators to train."
Gao Xin's eyes lit up: "What is the combat power of the Black Blood Gang's boss here?"
Kerry recalled: "I didn't know it, but at least it was a real tiger."
"After all, the management cadres of this black market alone are all real tiger-level!"
……
