Skill extraction from Dragon Clan

Chapter 580 Two other newcomers
After going out and on the way to the destination, Stephen explained something about Zheng Shu to K.K.

In response, K.K.'s attitude was: "He sounds quite capable. Have you checked his background?"

"I've investigated, but whether using my channels or other channels, I haven't found any information related to this person." Stephen shook his head while sitting in the passenger seat.

"No information?" K.K raised his eyebrows. "Could it be that they are humans from another world?"

"It's not impossible. We haven't established our intelligence network in the other world yet, so there are indeed loopholes. But based on my understanding, if this person really came from the other world, then we will most likely not be able to find any information related to him."

Although there are various complete laws in the other world, basically every race follows the laws of its own race.

Among them, humans from the other world are a relatively special race.

Humans are not the native race of the other world. Most of them are descendants of sorcerers who traveled from the human world to the other world by accident.

In this context, the number of humans is not large, but their average strength is terrifyingly strong. Coupled with the later appearance of the Thirteen Kings such as Fimto, the status of the human race in the other world also seems quite peculiar.

Although no one dares to provoke them, humans themselves seem to be very scattered and have not formed a unified country or city-state in the other world.

Against this backdrop, it was fairly easy to accept that an incredibly powerful sorcerer suddenly and inexplicably emerged from some corner of the human race in another world. The only drawback was that it was impossible to investigate his past.

"This is really not good news." K.K, who was riding a motorcycle next to the car, sighed.

"I thought we would have a warlock to support us in the future. You should try your best to find someone to share the pressure with me! Every time I am your backup, I am always scared when I am the only one, afraid that I can't handle it."

Stephen smiled awkwardly but did not refute.

K.K's ability is quite special. He is one of the few people who can exert his special ability through bullets. He is also a top sniper and can even be called a gun god. It is naturally reassuring to have such a person as a backup.

But because of this ability, she has been traveling around the world to help people complete various tasks.

Although he is nominally under the command of Libra, he is actually more like Libra's assistant.

As the saying goes, the main C comes and goes but the auxiliary remains. To be honest, Stephen wants to find a new backup for Libra more than K.K. to fill the gap in backup when Libra is on a mission when K.K is not around.

"How long can you stay here this time?" Stephen suddenly thought of this question.

"I won't be leaving in the short term. I've already moved here." K.K smiled.

Not only Stephen, but even Klaus, who had been concentrating on driving, couldn't help but turn his eyes to K.K. who was riding a motorcycle next to him.

"What about your family?" Stephen was not happy when he heard this, but frowned.

"Of course I brought him here. My child is too young, and I can't let him be separated from his mother for too long." K.K said as a matter of course.

"then you……"

"Of course I know the risks involved." K.K interrupted Stephen, "I was mentally prepared when I chose to get married, and my family also understands these things."

Stephen was silent for a moment, saying nothing more, just nodded.

But just because Stephen was silent didn't mean K.K didn't want to talk: "You haven't told me what our mission is this time?"

"This isn't really a mission. There are just two new people here so I'm arranging for you to get acquainted. I was supposed to arrange for you to meet at the headquarters, but it's not very convenient at the headquarters right now."

"Oh, that's it." Thinking of Zheng Shu who didn't treat him as a stranger at all when he was lying on the sofa, K.K nodded in understanding.

"It's not easy. Finally there are new people. What are they good at?"

Speaking of this, Stephen looked at K.K. A smile reappeared in his eyes. "You must be very satisfied with this newcomer. He is good at weapons preparation. He is an old friend that I managed to bring here with great difficulty. You can look for him for any problems regarding weapons preparation in the future."

"Haha! That's great, you finally did something human!" K.K was visibly happy, "It's not easy, I finally don't have to help you maintain your weapons anymore!"

While chatting, they had already arrived at their destination. After parking the car, led by Stephen, the three of them walked through the dark alleys and arrived in front of an inconspicuous underground shop.

dong dong!

"Patrick, here I come."

After knocking on the door, Stephen did not wait for the person inside to respond. Instead, he said hello and pushed the door open and walked in.

Behind the door was a small room that didn't look too big, but it looked a bit messy at the moment. Various miscellaneous luggage and dangerous-looking equipment were placed in a mess on the side, and it seemed that they had not been sorted out yet.

Hearing the knock on the door, a tall man walked out from behind the door next to the front desk. He had cold facial lines, messy black hair, and wore black sunglasses on his glasses.

After seeing Stephen, the man smiled heartily:
"Long time no see Stephen, I was planning to look for you, but I didn't expect you to come here first."

"Something happened, so I brought them to you in advance."

The man nodded and looked around the room. He looked a little embarrassed when he saw the messy house.
"As you can see, I haven't finished tidying up here yet, and there's no place for you to sit."

"It's okay. This time I just want you to get to know each other."

Stephen nodded, moved his body aside, and stretched out his hand to the man to explain to the two people behind him:
"This is Patrick Smith, a very good engineer, and the weapons planner of the future Libra.

Patrick, this is my boss, Klaus, whom I told you about. This is K.K...."

Before Stephen finished his introduction, Patrick's eyes lit up when he heard K.K.'s name.

"I'm surprised I could have run into such a big shot, Stephen. When you called me, you didn't tell me there was this 'gun god' in Libra."

"Oh hahahaha, I didn't expect someone would remember my title. It's really embarrassing!"

Although he said this, K.K's smile was unusually arrogant.

"But I've heard of your name, Patrick. You're one of the world's top engineers and a first-rate weapons designer. Many of the guns I use are designed by you."

“You’re too kind. I’m just a coward. I choose to do this job because I’m afraid of death, and leave the dangerous work to others.

Moreover, after coming to the city, I dare not call myself a top engineer. There are too many things in this city that I am not familiar with. It seems that I may need to re-learn for a while.

But if it's just an ordinary weapon, I can help you maintain it at any time."

They chatted with each other for a while, and suddenly there was a sound of equipment falling from the room that Patrick had just come out of.

"what happened?"

Patrick walked quickly into the room and came out after a while.

But when Patrick came out, he was followed by a petite girl with blonde hair and blue eyes.

"Your...daughter?" Stephen hesitated.

"Of course not! I'm only in my early thirties, and you can tell at a glance that there's not much difference in age between us!" Patrick retorted immediately.

"You're only thirty?!"

Stephen, who always had a serious expression, couldn't help but reveal a look of shock. Not only him, but even K.K next to him also widened his eyes.

"I thought he was over forty."

“I actually thought he had retired when I invited him.”

"Hey! You two! I can hear you!!"

Fortunately, the more stable Klaus quickly put a stop to the farce, and the little girl following Patrick also had the opportunity to introduce herself.

"My name is Nika, Nika Kovalenko, and I'm Patrick's assistant."

"Don't be fooled by Nika's young age, but she's a genius! With my guidance, her weapon maintenance skills are close to what I had when I was young."

Patrick's face was full of pride when he talked about his assistant.

Now, the thing he was most proud of was that he had discovered Nika, a top mechanical genius, on the battlefield.

"Hello, Miss Nika." Although Klaus looked fierce, he still greeted Nika like a gentleman.

"Hello, Mr. Claus, right? Please take care of me in the future."

Although Nika looks young, she handled the situation very appropriately. Even when facing Klaus's ferocious-looking face, she did not show any fear.

"No, we are. We will have to trouble you with our weapons and equipment from now on."

"You're welcome. By the way, I actually have a question."

"what?"

"I already know the names of you three, but the last person has not been introduced." Nika pointed at a figure behind Klaus and the other two.

"what?"

Stephen was stunned, and suddenly thought of a possibility. He turned around vigilantly, and as expected, he saw Zheng Shu leaning against the door frame and picking his nose.

"Why are you here?! When did you get here?"

"Ah? As for the specific time, it was probably after you entered this door. Your vigilance is really too weak, you need to strengthen it in the future!"

After picking his nostrils for a long time without getting anything out, Zheng Shu withdrew his fingers regretfully and patted Stephen on the shoulder.

"Hasn't that meant you've been following us from the beginning?!" Stephen's face darkened. "What's your purpose in following us?!"

"Isn't he one of yours? I saw him following you and thought he was one of yours." When Patrick heard this, he started moving towards the house.

"Strictly speaking, we can only be considered collaborators now." Zheng Shu took the initiative to wave and greet Patrick, "Zheng Shu, nice to meet you."

Looking at Stephen's increasingly dark face and the soles of his shoes beginning to emit icy mist, Zheng Shu sighed, reached out his hand, and "pressed" back the ice that was about to emanate from the soles of his feet.

"Okay, don't be so surprised. The reason I came here is to tell you that the circuit of the space ritual in the Libra headquarters building has been set up, so I want to ask when the balance will be paid.

In addition, because I "slightly" changed the circuit, the entire Libra has entered a closed state at the moment the space ritual was completed, and the company cannot be returned under normal circumstances. So I came here to give you the initial permissions, and you can handle the specific situation yourself when you return to the building."

Zheng Shu walked to Klaus's side as he spoke, and with a flick of his finger, a complex magic circle appeared out of thin air on the back of Klaus' hand.

Stephen felt a little headache when he saw Zheng Shu's expression. He gritted his teeth but still responded to Zheng Shu's question:

"I understand. I will inspect it when I get back. If the results are good, I will arrange Zhen's schedule as soon as possible to ensure that there is enough time for the transaction with you. Don't worry, I will contact you soon."

"Thank you so much... Oh, by the way, don't worry too much. I have something to deal with in the short term. I won't be here for at least the next week or two."

Halfway through his words, Zheng Shu changed his tone as if he knew something. He casually greeted the people present, then tore open the space crack with his bare hands and stepped in.

"If I'm not mistaken, did this guy just tear the space apart with his bare hands? Are all the monsters like this in Hersharemz?" Patrick turned his head stiffly and looked at Stephen.

After a moment of silence, Stephen shook his head heavily. "Although I haven't seen a similar enemy so far, I'm not sure if people like him are common in that world."

"You didn't tell me this when you invited me. With such a high risk, remember to give me more money!"

Not only Patrick, K.K. beside him also felt his facial muscles were a little stiff: "Let me make it clear in advance that if I fight this guy, I'm not sure I can hit him."

"Then we can only hope that he can become our friend." Stephen's face became darker and darker, as if he was thinking about the hostility between him and Zheng Shu.

"Don't worry, Stephen."

A hand patted his shoulder. He turned around and saw Klaus, who had been silent from the beginning. "I will communicate with him."
