Murong Mengli slowly walked to the desk and sat down next to Su Mu: "Since you have made up your mind, I will naturally support you. You are from the Bronze Coffin. Qian Zihao is afraid of my noble status and will not dare to do anything openly. He can only send assassins in secret.
As far as I know, he has three powerful silver masters around him, but he can only mobilize one of them at present. As for the other two, one is guarding the mithril mine and will not leave easily, and the other is in another city, cooperating with Qian Zihao's Chamber of Commerce to conduct business.
Therefore, the only person he can mobilize is Mu Cheng. This Mu Cheng is very mysterious. Rumor has it that he is not a transcendent, but a cyborg."
"Cyborg?" Su Mu raised his eyebrows. This term made him think of many things.
"That's right, cyborgs, and they are mithril alloy cyborgs. Cyborg technology is no secret in the Upper City, but ordinary small companies simply can't afford it. If you want to create a qualified cyborg, you need a huge amount of money.
Rumor has it that Mu Cheng's body is completely covered with mithril alloy, which is very strong and has a defense comparable to that of the Silver Law [Servant of Power]. He is also equipped with many lethal weapons with amazing destructive power."
"The power of technology?" Su Mu had already begun to look forward to it. He had seen many extraordinary people, but had never seen a cyborg.
"Many ordinary people who have no hope of becoming extraordinary, or extraordinary people who have no hope of being promoted, will choose to take the cyborg route to improve their strength. As long as they are willing to spend money, their strength can be rapidly improved in a very short period of time."
"Full body transformation? Or partial transformation?"
“Partial transformation. The current level of technology is not enough to support full-body transformation. That is just a concept. Uploading a person’s consciousness to a computer and then installing the computer on the transformed body to achieve immortality of consciousness, or mechanical ascension, is not realistic.
Most modified humans only have their arms or legs replaced, while the more advanced ones have their entire skin, muscles, and bones replaced with machines, leaving only the internal organs and the brain.
Mu Cheng is the latter. "
Murong Mengli paused and said, "Susu, I have told you all the information I know. What are you going to do next?"
Su Mu smiled slightly: "Of course, we should leave the bronze coffin and lure out Mu Cheng. The enemy is in the dark and we are in the light. How can we start if we don't lure him out?"
"Are you sure?" Murong Mengli showed a worried look on her face. "Mu Cheng, a Mithril alloy mutant, has almost perfect defense. Unless a Silver expert takes action, it will be difficult to break his defense."
"If you have to be absolutely sure before doing anything, you will accomplish nothing. Don't you want to find the Golden Eye? Then you must first deal with Qian Zihao's people. Otherwise, if he can trip you up once, he will certainly do it a second time."
Hearing the words "Golden Eyes", Murong Mengli's eyes dimmed slightly: "In fact, I have given up hope. It's too late in terms of time. In another week, it will be the birthday party of the head of the Murong family, and it will also be the day when he announces his engagement. If the news about the abandoned city is true, there may still be a possibility, but now..."
Compared to her pessimism, Su Mu did not think so. He smiled gently: "Haven't you heard that there is always a way out? Who can say for sure until the last moment?"
It seemed that Su Mu's gentle smile infected Murong Mengli, and her autumn-water eyes regained some luster: "You are right, until the last moment, the outcome is still unknown."
She leaned forward slightly, her beautiful face getting closer and closer, staring at Su Mu without blinking: "Su Su, what do you think about that matter?"
Su Mu frowned slightly: "What's the matter?"
"That's it..." Murong Mengli bit her red lips lightly, a blush appeared on her face, and she seemed to be a little embarrassed to speak: "It's what I told you before, to find a man."
"Why do you keep obsessing over this?"
"Don't ask anymore, just tell me if it's okay or not, okay?"
"no."
"Why not?"
"Because I'm bored."
Murong Mengli was stunned, with a strange look in her eyes: "You can't be..."
"Ms. Mengli, I can feel that you are hiding something from me. This is not your style." Su Mu narrowed his eyes slightly, his deep gaze seemed to see through people's hearts.
Murong Mengli seemed to be deflated, slowly leaning back on the chair, with a bitter smile on her lips: "I do have reasons that I cannot tell you, you are the only man I like, so I think if I have to do this, you are the best.
Besides, you have been targeted by Qian Zihao and you may die at any time. I am worried..."
"Are you worried that after I die, it will be difficult for me to find another man I like?"
Murong Mengli nodded very straightforwardly.
Su Mu was a little confused. What was the reason that made Murong Mengli so obsessed with having sex?
Forget it, it doesn’t matter. Compared to Murong Mengli’s little secret, he is still more looking forward to Mu Cheng.
"Don't worry, I won't die." Su Mu's tone was still gentle, but there was an unquestionable confidence in his words.
Murong Mengli fell silent for a long time. After that, she stretched out her hands, which were as delicate as works of art, passed through her scattered flaxen hair and reached behind her neck.
She took off a silver necklace made of mithril. On the necklace was a small and exquisite pendant, which was a ruby, sparkling with an enchanting luster under the moonlight.
"I'll lend you this necklace first."
Su Mu glanced at the ruby necklace, and his mind moved slightly: "Is this... a treasure?"
Murong Mengli nodded, and looked at the necklace with a bit of nostalgia: "The silver treasure, the Crimson Heart, can resist any attack below the gold level once, and can be used repeatedly, with a cooldown of one day."
"you........"
"Don't worry about me." Murong Mengli smiled and said, "The status of a noble is more useful than a silver treasure."
"Are there any other treasures?"
Murong Mengli: “….”
The smile she had just shown instantly cooled down. She casually threw down the Crimson Heart, then stood up coldly and walked towards the door. When she was halfway into the door frame, she paused again and said coldly, "Don't die."
Then he left completely.
Su Mu didn't care about Murong Mengli's unhappiness. Anyway, he was very happy to have obtained a new silver treasure.
He picked up the Crimson Heart, the delicate necklace still had a faint residual warmth.
"Resist any attack below gold once a day, dear."
Then he put the Crimson Heart around his neck, and the ruby pendant slowly disappeared under his collar.
