Endless Debt

The heavy gate slowly opened, and the hot wave rushed towards him, which made Boluogo unable to open his eyes. When the gate was fully opened, a figure wearing protective clothing appeared behind the gate. It seemed that he had been waiting here for a long time. For a long time.

Boluogo looked at the nameplate on his chest and judged his identity.

"Badr?"

"Good morning, Mr. Lazarus." Baldr nodded to Boluogo.

"Yo! Badr!"

Bailey waved to Badr, then stepped past him, greeting everyone with energy.

"Good morning everyone!"

Only at this time did Bologo feel that Bailey was like a minister. He didn't know how she did it. Even if she couldn't see the nameplate, she could call out everyone's name through the thick protective clothing, just like A lion patrolling its territory.

"I thought you never left the sublimation furnace core." Boluogo said. He never imagined that he would meet Bailey outside the sublimation furnace core.

"We rarely leave," Badr said, adding, "On some special occasions, we go out in groups."

"for example?"

"For example, when there are emergencies and technical support for sublimation furnace cores is needed, or when the project is successful, we will go out to celebrate and have a drink."

Bologe has never encountered the former situation, but the latter mentioned by Bader brought back Bologe's memories.

It was not long after he joined the field department. When he went to the cafeteria with Palmer, he saw a large group of white coats hurriedly passing by, including a few guys wearing protective clothing.

They chanted and raised bottles, turning the public cafeteria into a party scene.

"Let's go. The equipment requested by the Special Operations Group has been sorted out. Come and sign for it. I will ask someone to deliver it later."

Bailey came over. Everyone was wearing protective clothing, but she was in plain clothes.

In the elevator, in order not to make the atmosphere too awkward, Bologna mentioned this while chatting with Bailie. Bailie explained that "it is the minister's prerogative not to comply with the regulations."

Damn it, could anyone really punish her?

Bologg nodded and followed Bailie. Balder also followed them. Bologg was used to Baldr's silence and elusiveness.

He's like Bailey's external brain, and the two are inseparable.

Gates opened one after another, twisting and turning in the deep corridor, and finally Bailey opened a door. It looked like a warehouse, with boxes piled up in mountains, almost occupying the entire field of vision.

"This is specially customized for you based on your work needs."

Bailey said as she used a crowbar to forcefully open the box. The wooden boards and dust flew into the air. Her movements were clean and neat, quite a bit like a heroine.

Badr had no intention of coming to help. It seemed that this kind of thing had happened more than once or twice.

"Although the minister is an unreliable alchemist, she has also received a good education in swordsmanship. If her talent in alchemy was not so outstanding, she might be a member of the field department now."

Badr explained in a timely manner, his voice paused for a second or two, and then he continued, "Maybe I will still be your colleague."

The sound of shattering continued, and Bailey put down the crowbar coolly, without even a drop of sweat on her face.

Bologo felt that it would not be much more difficult for her to open an adult male's skull with a crowbar than to open a wooden box.

"In addition to the fourth group in the field support department, you should be the second action group that will operate in the Great Rift for a long time, so this batch of equipment is based on the customized equipment of the fourth group and made some modifications. owned."

Opening the wooden box, Bailey opened the iron box hidden in a pile of buffered debris and threw an adaptive arm towards Boluogo.

"The upgraded version of the Adaptive Arm. Compared with the original version, this version uses tougher alchemical materials, and the range of the hook has been doubled, making it easier for you to swing back and forth in the great rift."

Bologg nodded. The conventional hook rope was indeed not very useful in the large rift. The doubled range allowed Bologg to move more freely.

"This one is the iron-wearing suit."

Bailey said and took out something similar to a bulletproof vest. Boluogo took the armor and took it very lightly. It looked like some kind of textile, but it felt metallic, like silk thread. Braided chainmail.

"Are these on the surface...the iron-wearing paint?" Bologo asked.

"You know the goods, the outer layer is covered with iron-wearing paint. For the sake of flexibility, a lot of defense is sacrificed, but even so, it can block cutting to a certain extent, but be careful..."

Burlogo interrupted Bailey's explanation and said, "You can't block the puncture."

"Yeah, but that doesn't mean it can't block punctures at all. It's just that compared to other protective powers, it's much inferior in blocking punctures."

Bailey took out another one. Judging from the model of the iron-wearing suit, it was for Boluogo and Palmer.

"Accidents will always happen in that ghost place of the Great Rift. This thing has limited effect in the battle with the Condenser, but it is better than facing the sharp blade with a flesh and blood body." Baili's tone rarely contained a hint of concern.

"Then... huh?" Bailey's voice sounded strange. She looked at the list, then at the items inside, and picked up a claw hammer in confusion, "Is this what you want too?"

"Yeah." Boluogo confirmed.

"Okay, okay, horn hammer, the effect is literally, shock...this is what we use to forge steel."

"I use it very smoothly." Boluogo confirmed again.

Bailey looked at Bologg in a strange way. Thinking about it, she only knew that Bologg was from the Field Service Department, but she had no idea about Bologg's acting style and working methods.

"You don't like using guns?" Bailey asked.

"I'm a little short-sighted. If I want to keep an eye on a target, it will take me some time." Boluogo frowned. In fact, he was not short-sighted. He just had difficulty seeing something clearly. "And my marksmanship is very good." It sucks, but my throwing skills are good, and my throwing knife has a high hit rate.”

Boluogo is very proficient in throwing throwing knives. He even feels that the use of all thrown objects is like instinct. No matter what is in his hands, it will be thrown at an extremely deadly speed.

"Then this thing is quite suitable for you. There is no need to aim, as long as it is within a rough shooting range."

Bailey said and took out a short-handled shotgun, "I see the demand. You also need concealment. This kind of weapon is very convenient for concealment."

Boluogo took over the short-handled shotgun. He had already used this weapon during the chase on the stormy night. From an expert's point of view, Boluogo quite liked this weapon.

"This doesn't look like an alchemical weapon." Boluogo observed that there was no faint light track on the surface of the metal.

"This is just an ordinary firearm. What I have prepared for you are these alchemical bullets," Bailey said, taking out boxes of ammunition one after another. "For the specific effects, you can read the list yourself. I will not introduce them one by one."

"Yes, use them sparingly. The most expensive ones here are the warheads and the iron-wearing suits." Bailey said.

Boluogo stepped forward and briefly checked the contents of the box, and then looked at the list. He said, "These are for me and Palmer, what about Lebius and the others?"

"They are third-stage power bearers. This kind of equipment is of little significance to them," Bailey said. "The alchemy weapons that can be useful to them are at least the 'Pure White' level alchemy weapons, and that If you grow alchemy weapons, no matter how much you betray men, you still need to go through the procedures and approvals."

Bailey stopped suddenly, leaned against the wooden box, looked Boluogo up and down, and then said again.

"Of course, if you choose to join the sublimation furnace core, it is not impossible to just 'purify' it."

Add sublimation furnace core? This is of course impossible. If it were possible, Bologger wouldn't even want to come. He ignored Baili's words and said softly.

"A pure white level alchemy weapon? I have never seen anything like that."

The reason why Boluogo has been so tired in the past two weeks is that, in addition to being on duty in the Great Rift during the day, he has been reading books after get off work, supplementing his knowledge about the extraordinary world.

For this reason Lebius recommended him several books, one of which was an introductory book on alchemy called "Discourse on Gold".

So far, the research of alchemists is mainly divided into three major schools. One is the qualitative transformation of metal sublimation, turning base metals into precious metals. The second is the exploration of the alchemical matrix, and the third is the creation of new life. They believe that this All three will guide the alchemists to the depths of the "secret source" to explore the truth.

After thousands of years of research and differentiation, the first "Iron Stone School" of sublimating metals evolved into the subsequent research on alchemical weapons.

Under the concept of alchemists, the qualitative change of metal sublimation can be divided into four major stages. Each stage is named after a color, which is the dissolution and corruption of substances. This is called "blackening", followed by The decomposition and purification of substances, which is whitening, the third stage is "yellowing", which unites the refined substances together, and finally through "reddening", it condenses into a philosopher's stone.

For this reason, according to the degree of qualitative change of the alchemical weapons, these four stages are divided into four levels, carrying alchemical weapons of different strengths to release different levels of power.

The full name of pure white is "purified white", and the corresponding level of alchemical weapons at this stage is the power bearer.

The alchemical weapons used by first-stage sublimation masters like Bologo are untransformed alchemical weapons that have not undergone qualitative transformation. If Bologo wants to use qualitatively transformed alchemical weapons, he must at least wait until he becomes a believer. Only then can you use the "Corrupted Black" level alchemy weapon.

"You really can't see the pure white level. After all, it is something used by those in power."

Bailey's smile suddenly became weird. She looked at Boluogo with that strange look again, and then said.

"But now you have a chance to meet a Fuhei-level person. Are you interested?"

After a moment of silence, Boluogo said without changing his expression.

"Tell me what the price is."
