Since there was no way to take shortcuts, Ronan had no interest in so-called robbery and counter-robbery. However, some people hiding in the shadow corners still have a strong interest in a target who is still walking alone in a narrow alley near midnight.
More than one greedy gaze roamed Ronan's body, trying to find some traces of luxury goods; there were also some people who had a more pure "happy" tendency. It was good to find someone to kill time during the long night.
Of course, more people are completely indifferent to the people and things in the streets and alleys, close the doors and windows, go to sleep, save energy for tomorrow's livelihood, or toss in their own little world.
This is the recycling layer.
Low-income earners, homeless people, gangs, homeless people... in short, people who have not adapted to this society have injected chaotic emotional colors into this area. If we talk about the spectrum, it will not reach the desperate end, but it is also consistent with normalcy. There is quite a distance.
In Ronan's eyes, emotional desires are intuitively visible, but he doesn't think it is easy to understand the mystery.
If we make an inappropriate analogy, it would be like electromagnetic waves. Visible light is only the most insignificant part of its long spectrum. There are too many other and deadly things hidden deep in the indescribable levels.
Just like the brilliant sun disk rolling in the abyss, even though it was separated by endless distances of time and space, the "slight heat" it transmitted and the magical power it created made Ronan deeply fearful and awe-inspiring.
Every time Ronan tried to understand, he would always have a painful experience of "burning himself on fire", and his body and mind would be out of balance for a few days. After several times, he would feel bad. In comparison, the cold virtual brain system seems much more friendly.
In recent months, Ronan has been committed to planning the preparatory work for cloud hunting. It has been a long time since he took the initiative to "warm the fire". Tonight, affected by the emotional atmosphere of the recycling floor, my thoughts passed away, and I was accidentally hit again, making me feel a little depressed.
He was not in the mood to play a game of "grabbing and counter-grabbing", so he simply released a slight amount of mental oppression. It had no lethality, but it was enough to make those around him with evil intentions feel like they were being pricked in the brain. Whose evil thoughts are more evil? No matter how heavy it is, who's backlash will be worse - after being roasted by the sun of the abyss for several months, Ronan has gained nothing at all. He is really self-taught in similar tricks.
Soon, a continuous muffled sound came from the darkness. Those floating malices were like mosquitoes and flies sprayed with chemicals, humming and twisting away.
Then the surroundings became completely clear.
Those who can guard the perimeter of the homeless exchange, even gangsters, know the basics. With so many ability users coming in and out, even if only one percent or one thousandth would lead to conflict, it would still be enough to subdue these people like dogs.
Ronan was able to easily reach the dock leading to the "U-hole Market"... the gate.
Placing the entrance connecting the secular world, the otherworld, and the underground black market in such a remote location would definitely be somewhat concealed. What appears to the outside is a closed factory area. It is now in a state of desolation, and I don’t know what it was used for before. It looks like it is full of holes, and even the door is rusty. In fact, it is quite sealed, and it is difficult to see its full picture from the densely packed high-rise buildings around it.
Ronan followed the prompts on the APP, found the verification switch on the dirty door, and entered the verification code. There was no movement on the door, but the small door on one side opened.
After entering the factory area, there is a spacious two-way six-lane road ahead, leading directly to the dock. The road markings have long been smoothed away, but overall it is still smooth. This is probably a legacy from the early days of the factory's construction.
Behind the gate, there are more than a dozen semi-old electric balance scooters neatly stacked, which are used for transportation. Because there is still some distance between the factory gate and the dock.
Ronan ignored it and looked around for a few times. In the guard room on the side of the gate, he saw the armed mechanical guard who had just entered the standby state. Opposite the guard room was a "transformation room".
Well, although the storefront is deserted, the service is still quite attentive.
To achieve the "perfect crime", disguise modification is of course necessary. At this time, Ronan's face was also smeared with Red Fox's "secret" color-changing ointment, making him appear much older than his actual age. However, after all, it was just a simple cover-up. With his lightning-fast actions, it was difficult for others to notice the flaw, like this It will definitely not be enough to plant in a place where there are many people and mixed views.
Ronan didn't hesitate and went directly into the dressing room.
The gatehouse-style room is just an entrance. The real dressing room is deep underground, which is a completely different world. There are twists and turns inside, and there are multiple dressing rooms arranged, which seem to be able to accommodate more than ten or twenty people changing their clothes at the same time.
This doesn't look like a black market, but more like the backstage of a small theater.
Ronan was half exploring and half having fun. Following the guidance of the smart butler in the dressing room, he chose a dressing room and entered it. Touch here, look there, look at the various disguise techniques on it, many of which are fully intelligent operations and do not require any human intervention, which is an eye-opener.
However, according to Maoyan's instructions, Ronan did not do any fancy things. I just chose the simplest and crudest way of wearing a mask and a cloak.
He focused more on another set of equipment.
In addition to dressing up, there is a credit exchange device in the dressing room. Traders who come to the black market can exchange credits from the secular world and honor points from the other world into black market currency.
It is said to be very safe, but Maoyan does not recommend it because the redemption device also comes with a "great credit system."
These are Maoyan’s original words.
Out of curiosity, Ronan gave up the currency exchange function on the system interface and chose "Credit Rating" next to it.
According to Maoyan, through this rating, you can get a credit loan, or more precisely, a "free start-up capital for professionals."
The system requires traders to demonstrate their professional skills and exchange a certain amount of money based on their ability level - this money is a pure gift, unnamed, does not need to be repaid, and has no trace at all.
Praise me, Bole who is willing to spend money.
The system interface starts to pop up with basic options:
Physical side, mental side.
Of course Ronan chose the physical side, so he had to disguise himself.
The system obviously does not have the ability to distinguish lies, so it can easily let him pass, and then asks about "professional skills". On a long list, Ronan picked the "mechanical design, processing and assembly" column.
For more than half a year, he learned basic engineering knowledge from Zhai Gong, and started to assemble, modify, and operate the exoskeleton platform. In addition, with the blessing of the virtual brain system, this is indeed his best skill in the secular world.
According to Zhai Gong's evaluation, working as an engineer in their maintenance center is more than enough.
The system seemed to value professional skills more. After Ronan made his selection, a new window popped up.
The new window is actually a virtual workspace. It shows a perspective view of a hydraulic servo system that was damaged by an external impact. There is also a set of virtual tools arranged next to it. What Ronan has to do is to limit the tools and time. In this case, troubleshoot, repair damage, and get the servo system running again.
"Hydraulic pressure is still used today, such an ancient design?"
Ronan should be lucky that Zhai Gong's teaching method is relatively traditional and he has a solid foundation. He can still solve this problem.
After selecting the appropriate option on the toolbar, he was about to start, when he suddenly thought: Wait, don't I just want to buy an off-road motorcycle? Why do long-distance running, dressing up, and doing test questions become more and more complicated?
Touching his head, he only touched the cloak he had just put on.
This made Ronan chuckle. No matter what, he was idle anyway. Instead of going back early to take a nap, wouldn't it be better to go to the legendary black market to broaden his horizons?
He threw away distracting thoughts, concentrated on solving the problem, and solved it quickly. However, after passing this threshold, the next step is no longer fun.
After a period of time, a series of professional questions popped up on the virtual workspace, covering design, maintenance, processing, assembly and other aspects. Some of them were difficult and some were easy. Some of them were easy for Ronan to answer, and some of them required a lot of effort. Brain sweat, some just skip it.
Not to mention anything else, this question bank alone is an incredible accumulation. In particular, there are almost no theoretical issues in it. They are all based on specific and detailed examples and are based on practical experience. In comparison, the knowledge taught by Zhai Gong is relatively academic.
Fortunately, they have been together in the past few months, installing and disassembling various exoskeleton platforms, and they have accumulated a lot of experience. Ronan himself has built an advancement from scratch in the wilderness. Base, we encountered and solved many problems, so that we would not be blinded.
Even so, there were some problems that Ronan was able to overcome by referring to the structure of the virtual brain system.
After a round of testing, Ronan really broke out in a cold sweat. He had never been so nervous even when facing two groups of Deep Blue teams in the Energy Center.
But in this way, he also gained a more detailed understanding of the shortcomings of his own knowledge structure, and his overall thinking became clear. When faced with the interface showing the completion of the evaluation, he almost wanted to return to the initial interface and refresh it all over again.
At this time, Ronan was really impressed by the homeless exchange. Think about it, just for mechanical design and processing, there is such a rich question bank, with dozens of categories, large and small. When combined, wouldn’t the scale be even more terrifying?
I really want to make a copy and take it back...
By the time Dafa sighed, the cross-dressing and credit assessment had been completed. Ronan looked in the mirror, and there was a man in a cloak and mask who could easily tell that he was cross-dressing. It was a rough arrangement like "I just don't want you to know who I am," and the masking function became more and more effective.
Of course, these gadgets are useless when it comes to the mental side with strong sensory abilities. But the question is, how many people in the world can spy on Ronan on a spiritual level?
