Chapter 10: Showing off

The faint smoke from the cigar gently wafted upwards.

Hyena Luke covered his mouth, stifling a laugh, and waved at the thugs in the corner, "Damn it, you're killing me with laughter! Quick, quick, kill him... I can't take it anymore, haha!"

Hiss—!

A pneumatic sound rang out, and a burst of hot steam erupted from the first thug's mechanical arm.

With a sinister grin, he spread his arms from behind, aiming to fiercely grip Cheng Qi's neck; the force contained within those arms was enough to instantly crush Cheng Qi's cervical bones.

It was at this exact moment that a hint of ferocity flashed in Cheng Qi's eyes.

He instantly rose, activating the XXX-01 Limit Warrior Armor, and memory metal surged from his sleeves, covering his hands with a layer of dark silver armor.

Creak—!

Cheng Qi spun around in an instant, then lightning-fast extended both hands, directly gripping the first thug of Bar Street's two mechanical arms, with such immense strength that the thug's arms twisted and deformed.

Crack—!

The XXX-01 Limit Warrior Armor's power erupted, and Cheng Qi directly tore off the thug's two mechanical arms, sending fragments scattering.

Amidst the first thug's stunned expression.

Cheng Qi kicked the thug's chest, and with a loud bang, the thug's body was sent flying, smashing through the bar's dilapidated wooden walls, flying over ten meters, and finally embedding himself in the external garbage heap in a twisted posture.

"Holy crap..."

Hyena Luke was dumbfounded, his mouth slightly agape.

The Hyena's other subordinates rushed over upon hearing the commotion, and heavy footsteps echoed in the hallway outside the door.

Cheng Qi scanned the office and saw a heavy safe from the old era.

He merely bent slightly and lifted the nearly 2-ton alloy safe.

Beneath Cheng Qi's clothes, the XXX-01 Limit Warrior Armor's surface rippled with diamond patterns, and power was transmitted from the power core to his hands; releasing only 30% of its kinetic energy, Cheng Qi threw the safe out, its acceleration like a cannonball!

Boom!

Hyena Luke's office door was shattered, a series of muffled grunts came from the hallway, and then, on the street more than ten meters away, there was another loud impact sound from the garbage heap, after which the entire world fell silent.

"Holy, holy crap..."

The Hyena's body froze.

In his understanding, Cheng Qi must have installed some kind of prosthetic body, but in this rotten junkyard of Earth, it was impossible to find any decent equipment, and even if one managed to piece together a set, it couldn't possibly possess such performance, impossible to lift a 2-ton safe!

Thump, thump, thump.

Footsteps sounded from the back door again; the thugs at the back door, whom the Hyena had previously ordered to seal all exits, also sensed something was wrong.

A dark silver matte gleam appeared, and Cheng Qi extended his arm, releasing a metal rod, three meters long and thumb-thick, from his wrist, which directly crossed the office desk and pierced the back door panel.

Thud...

The sound of a body falling to the ground came.

This time, the world was truly silent.

"Holy, holy, holy crap..."

The Hyena swallowed, the silver rod having passed by his ear, and the hairs on his entire body stood on end.

He simply couldn't understand why such a long piece of metal would appear out of nowhere from the little trash worm's sleeve!

What kind of equipment was that, exactly?!

At this moment.

Cheng Qi retracted the XXX-01 Limit Warrior Armor and leaned slightly forward, "Hyena Luke, now, I have a few questions for you."

"Ask your mother!"

However, the ferocious Hyena instantly raised his beam pistol, aimed it at Cheng Qi's head, and directly pulled the trigger!

Bang!

Smoke curled upwards.

It was Cheng Qi, who, with his armor-covered right hand, had gripped the Hyena's gun barrel; his palm felt slightly warm, but apart from that, he felt nothing else.

Snap—!

Cheng Qi closed his five fingers, and that beam pistol, a top luxury item in the trash world, was crushed into fragments.

"Brother, you may ask."

The Hyena's mouth twitched, first showing a look of shock, then quickly switching to an extremely forced smile; his reaction speed was indeed unmatched.

Cheng Qi glanced at the amorphous alloy on the table, "What is its actual value?"

"That piece... about a thousand credit points."

Hyena Luke swallowed and said.

Bang!

Cheng Qi pressed Hyena Luke's head directly onto the metal table in front of him, and the Hyena's black alloy teeth broke and scattered.

"I did lie to you, that piece can sell for two thousand..."

The Hyena's mouth was full of blood, his eyes filled with pleading.

Bang!

Cheng Qi once again slammed Hyena Luke's head onto the metal table.

"Four thousand!"

"It can sell for four thousand!"

Bang!

The metal table was even dented by the impact!

"Don't kill me!"

"I'll tell you!"

"amorphous alloy, four thousand!"

"Four thousand per gram!"

This time.

It was Cheng Qi's turn to be shocked, "How much?!"

"amorphous alloy, four thousand per gram!"

"Big brother, spare my life, this is the highest price I can sell it for!"

Cheng Qi's body felt somewhat stiff.

He had guessed that the Hyena would certainly misreport the value, but he never imagined it would be so exaggerated!

That piece of amorphous alloy weighed about 50 grams, and he had 23 pieces.

Four thousand credit points per gram?!

How much money was that?

Cheng Qi had never seen so many credit points in his life, nor had he even imagined such a number.

Steadying his breath.

Cheng Qi grabbed Hyena Luke's head, "Last question, who has the ability to buy so much amorphous alloy?"

Hyena Luke was breathing heavily.

He knew very well that this little trash worm had equipment he couldn't imagine, and his personality wasn't as cowardly as he had thought!

Immediately.

The Hyena completely conceded defeat and pulled out a relatively exquisite communicator from the office desk.

"He is not a lowly Scavenger, he doesn't even live on Earth."

"And this communicator is the only way to contact him."

Cheng Qi picked up the communicator, his eyes flickering, "Thank you for your cooperation."

...

Cheng Qi supported the heavily injured Old Lin and slowly walked out of the bar.

And at the very moment he walked out of the bar.

Boom!

The dilapidated bar erupted in a raging inferno.

Many onlookers knew that the little trash worm named Cheng Qi had just single-handedly challenged the top expert of Bar Street, overthrown the lair of a local tyrant, and then, to top it off, directly cremated the Hyena, solving the problem once and for all.

Cheng Qi glanced across the road.

Hena, in a red dress, had only glanced in his direction the moment Cheng Qi stepped out of the bar door.

Afterward, Hena turned her head away, her beautiful eyes filled with confusion and an unknown yearning, quietly gazing at the gray sky.

Cheng Qi secretly shook his head.

Hena's values were very unique.

He wondered what kind of person could make her truly love them from the bottom of her heart.
