Lin Xu was also somewhat surprised by the remarks made by the two company owners.
Although these two may not be very bright, their shamelessness definitely meets the standard of being lackeys.
Perhaps it is precisely because of this shamelessness that these two were chosen by the company and selected as mere tools?
These two guys admitted to cheating others, yet they still threatened others not to be punished. This attitude and style of doing things does indeed have a bit of the demeanor of a big company.
Lin Xu mentally complained, but he had already lost all patience with the two of them:
Whether you want to pay the price or not is not up to you to choose!
As he said this, Lin Xu had already initiated the life-sucking technique.
However, he did not kill the two island lords directly, lest their islands and all their equipment be destroyed in the explosion.
Lin Xu only targeted the island lord who was holding the electric gun, quickly draining the life force from the island lord's arm.
The island lord's expression changed the next moment:
"You actually dared to do that!"
The electric gun suddenly fired, shooting out a miniature bolt of lightning that struck Lin Xu.
The island owner of the company wasn't lying.
In terms of ease of activation, the electric arc gun is indeed far superior to ordinary firearms.
However, even if the lightning bolt was successfully launched, it only produced streaks of lightning light when it struck Lin Xu.
Lin Xu himself didn't even flinch, nor did his expression change at all, and walked directly towards the island owner who was holding a gun.
He reached out and took the island owner's electric gun, while one of the island owner's arms had turned into yellow mud and scattered on the ground.
"ah!"
The island owner clutched his arm and screamed, then fell to the ground, his face filled with fear and horror.
Compared to his arrogant attitude just now, this is probably his true nature.
Lin Xu glanced at the island owner impatiently:
"Don't make a fuss. This little injury is nothing to a company employee, right? A medical treatment will make your arm grow back!"
The island owner, who had lost his arm, was still yelling and didn't hear Lin Xu's words at all.
The other company owner, however, looked at Lin Xu with a terrified expression:
"What nonsense are you talking about! Treating your arm requires company contribution points, and neither of us has received any valuable benefits yet. Where are we going to get contribution points to treat our arms!"
Lin Xu glanced at the island lord who had retorted, his face showing a hint of indifference:
"Oh, is that so? What does this have to do with me? If you don't take out the trap detector now, you might lose an arm too."
"ah!"
The second company owner screamed and stepped back, almost tripping and falling to the ground.
Lin Xu shook his head secretly as he looked at it.
It's really strange how the company even noticed these two people, given their quality.
However, the island owner of the company quickly realized what was happening, brandishing a detonator and shouting in alarm:
"Don't even think about threatening us! If you come any closer, we'll all die together!"
Lin Xu smiled, leisurely observing the island lord, without immediately making a move:
"Fine. I'll watch you die with me!"
"Don't think I don't understand the company's equipment. This kind of self-destruct device doesn't even need a detonator, right? As long as you go and die willingly, it will naturally destroy everything. I'll just watch you die now, so I won't get anything, and I might even get dragged down by the explosion and seriously injured."
As he said this, Lin Xu kept staring at the island owner who was holding the detonator, looking like he was waiting for the other party to make a move.
The island owner's expression froze.
If one can live a good life, who would want to die?
The island owner never had the awareness or courage to perish together with Lin Xu; he just thought that saying this would threaten Lin Xu, so he deliberately adopted this posture.
But why is Lin Xu not playing by the rules now?
The second company owner remained motionless, still in the position of pressing the detonator, which made him look quite awkward for a moment.
Lin Xu smiled:
"Why aren't you moving? Do you need my help?"
As he said this, Lin Xu walked towards the other person.
The island owner was so frightened that he quickly took a step back:
"No, no! What's the point of forcing me like this? You know the company's equipment, you should know that this equipment can't be far from us, right? Even if you forcibly take our equipment, it will explode after we leave. Why force us like this?"
Looking at the island owner's expression, Lin Xu knew that he had probably crossed the island owner's bottom line.
This guy couldn't even maintain his arrogant expression and started to bow his head and submit.
However, it's hard to say whether this is just another form of cleverness by the guy, trying to use sympathy to protect his interests?
Lin Xu smiled faintly, ignoring the island lord, and simply looked down at the electric gun in his hand.
With his talent for mechanical engineering, and having previously seen the blueprints for the more advanced Thunder Tower, he quickly figured out the principle and structure of this radio gun.
Lin Xu's eyes flashed, and he flipped his hand to take out a steel chisel, then focused his attention on the electric gun in his hand.
The next moment, he activated his mechanical talent, began to use a chisel to design the entire structure of the radio gun, and then used the chisel to work on it.
The radio gun disintegrated into many parts in an instant, and then reassembled in an instant.
However, a bundle of equipment and a miniature bomb were separated and landed at Lin Xu's feet.
Lin Xu kicked the bomb and equipment away.
The bomb exploded mid-air, causing a large fire.
Then, to the astonishment of the company owner and Li Ming, Lin Xu moved the electric gun in his hand and fired a few shots.
"This weapon is not bad. With a little research, we can produce some replicas."
Lin Xu was very satisfied with the electro-optical gun.
This thing is basically a simplified version of the Thunder Tower, saving him a lot of time on modification and research.
With this, you can obtain many similar radio-optical weapons. If you stack them up, you can probably get another powerful piece of equipment.
At this point, the island owner of the company was stunned.
He stared blankly at Lin Xu, then suddenly shouted:
"You can actually disarm the company's remote-controlled bombs! How is that possible?!"
Lin Xu glanced at the island owner of the company and smiled faintly:
Is it difficult?
The island owner of the company was speechless for a moment after being choked by the remark.
Is it difficult?
To guard against attacks from the lackeys of the nobility, the company tried every means possible, which led to the deployment of this mutual destruction bomb.
Although compared to island bombs, equipment bombs are more difficult to deploy due to size limitations.
But this isn't something an ordinary island owner can dismantle, is it?
To disarm the bomb on the equipment, one must have a very high level of mechanical talent, at least at the level of a mechanical master.
The Lin Xu in front of me is just a commoner island owner who has never received funding from a company or nobles, yet he already has the skill level of a mechanical master.
At this moment, the island owner of the company suddenly remembered that Lin Xu's combat talent had been exposed before.
This person's talent for machinery should be 100 points.
The company's island owner swallowed hard.
100 points!
That's truly monstrous talent!
However, scores only represent potential in this area, not actual ability.
If someone wants to be able to defuse company bombs as easily as Lin Xu is now, then their mechanical capabilities must be highly developed.
To develop such a high score to such an extent in such a short time must be the work of an unparalleled genius!
The island owner of this company was considered a minor genius in his own school, and so was his accomplice.
Although I had always heard of Lin Xu's reputation and knew that he was the so-called top student in the school district.
But in reality, both he and his accomplice harbored resentment towards Lin Xu.
They felt that Lin Xu was just lucky and had managed to do something to boost his reputation.
That's why Lin Xu was praised by ordinary people by chance.
In reality, this island owner and his accomplices considered themselves to be the most intelligent among the commoner island owners in the region, and that no one else could compare to them.
Once they enter the island world, they will surely soar to great heights and crush the so-called number one genius Lin Xu, as well as other miscellaneous so-called geniuses.
It was for this reason that both island lords had an instinctive competitive mentality when they met Lin Xu, and thus thought of using some tricks to suppress him.
But to their surprise, from the very beginning, Lin Xu seemed to have seen through everything they did. Not only did they not gain any advantage, but they also ended up in their current predicament.
The talent and ability that Lin Xu was displaying at this moment were too terrifying, and somewhat too discouraging.
The company lord's mouth moved, but he couldn't utter a word.
Lin Xu looked at the island owner, a smirk playing on his lips:
"Now you don't have to worry about the so-called equipment exploding, right? Hand over the detector, and I might spare your lives."
