After Beating the Game, I Became the Villain BOSS-Chapter 67 - 63: Engineering Master

In the following days, Su Mo took the "Blood Circulation Factor" given by Audiana and trained with Tank every day, seeking the final breakthrough.

Of course, Su Mo wasn't just freeloading; each time he went, he brought parts for maintaining the prosthetics and specialties bought from the Inner City.

Su Mo was so considerate towards the rules that Haywood was naturally polite. As long as there wasn't anything that required Tank specifically, Haywood always let him train with Su Mo.

After the fifth training session ended, Su Mo could clearly feel a scorching stream of energy surging within, as if every cell was brimming with formidable power, giving him a sense of being reborn.

This was a sign of blood code advancement!

With the assistance of the Blood Circulation Factor, the Crimson Rose Blood Code and the Mad Corpse Blood Code advanced through practical training, from "Low Tier of Awakening" to "Middle Tier of Awakening"!

The simultaneous advancement of both blood codes meant that compared to ordinary Blood Code Carriers, Su Mo received double the enhancement in basic physical attributes.

Plus, the special abilities unlocked by the blood code advancement meant that now he felt confident to face "High Tier of Awakening" carriers, let alone opponents of the same tier.

Also coincidentally, today the renovation work of the new house was completely finished, the entire residence looked brand new, with a cozy feeling as soon as one entered.

Su Mo lay comfortably on the bed after a shower, enjoying the tranquility and coolness from the newly installed air conditioning.

"Ring ring." At that moment, his phone rang.

Su Mo answered; it was Audiana calling.

Audiana, as always, got straight to the point: "Young man, I have a commission here."

"At the Border District's Black Boxing Arena, there's a well-known fighter. Everyone calls him Beast Simpson. This guy originally worked for our employer but later betrayed for money and joined the 'Red Blade Association.'

"Our employer hates traitors. He has only one request, which is to see Simpson's blood spilled on the Border District, so others know the fate of a traitor."

"The reward is 500,000 Moon Bucks, to be completed within a week, without any other requirements or restrictions. Are you interested in this commission?"

Su Mo sat up: "The Red Blade Association... is it the same Red Blade Association that does the lending business?"

Audiana: "Yes."

Su Mo: "I'll take it!"

Audiana: "Awaiting your news."

She hung up the phone after speaking.

Su Mo lay back down on the bed, secretly delighted in his heart.

This commission itself wasn't special.

It just involved the 'Red Blade Association'; he happened to have something that he could take care of there.

If he handled it well, he might gain an extremely extraordinary companion.

A genius skilled in blood code compilation, prosthetic implantation, spiritual brain development, and various application engineering fields.

The strongest engineer officially certified by the 'Dawn' game!

...

Su Mo drove to the north of the Border District, finding a long-broken bridge where no maintenance had been done.

Because the entire bridge had collapsed, it couldn't even shelter from rain, not even homeless people would seek refuge here.

Su Mo was standing...

In front of a sewer manhole cover.

The person he was looking for was right below here.

Su Mo unfurled hook-shaped bone spurs to latch onto the edge of the manhole cover, lifting it open.

A rotten stench hit him.

The game 'Dawn' is played on the computer, lacking any olfactory feedback.

Even though Su Mo has come here many times while playing the game and knew the environment below wasn't good,

experiencing it first-hand, the sewer's smell was beyond expectations, making him dizzy.

But he had no choice; for the strongest engineer of Dawn, he would fight!

He descended along the sewer ladder, closing the cover as he went.

The sewer system in New Moon City is vast, filled with many vertical drop structures and intersections, combining thousands of nodes together to form an underground palace.

Even the most seasoned technicians dare not venture down without a complete structural map, lest they wander into those complex corridors and potentially lose themselves.

Precisely because few dare to come down, the sewer has become a refuge for those with nowhere else to go.

Using his hypermemory ability, Su Mo reconstructed the entire sewer network in his mind, traversing it smoothly.

Heavy, moist air permeated the sewer, while waterproof electronic lights cast a faint orange-yellow glow, revealing wet stains and moss marks on the walls, with the sound of flowing water echoing through the pipes, creating a sense of vast emptiness.

Occasionally, squeaking rats appeared along the way; midway, he saw a skeleton, presumably someone who got lost in the sewer and never found their way out.

Su Mo reached a branch intersection and took the second path on the right.

Passing a corner, suddenly "Bang," he bumped into a shadow.

"Ouch!" The other person fell to the ground.

Su Mo quickly shone a flashlight over.

This was a messy-haired young girl, dressed in ragged clothes, her skin colorless from long-term lack of sunlight, extremely pale, with dark circles around her eyes from disrupted sleep patterns, resembling a little panda.

The girl looked up at Su Mo, her panda eyes opened wider than brass bells: "You?..."

"Hello, Future!" Su Mo called her name, unable to hide the joy on his face, "I'm..."

"Aaah!!!" The girl named Future didn't listen but fled towards the deeper sewer.

...

Future kept traversing the sewer, turning nineteen times, descending three layers of vertical platforms, climbing nine wall holes, finally entering through a concealed entrance.

Inside was a space of over thirty square meters.

She sat on the ground, panting heavily, panic-stricken: "This is crazy, I've hidden here, yet the Red Blade Association's people are still chasing debts?!"

"You look exhausted, have some water." Su Mo suddenly squeezed in through the entrance, handing her a bottle of mineral water.

Future was startled, jumping up and shrinking into a corner: "How did you find this place? Like a ghost! I'll pay the money back, just let me go!"

Su Mo feigned ignorance: "What are you talking about? I'm not here to collect debts."

"Huh?" Future was stunned on the spot, her eyes filled with confusion, "Then who are you?..."

Su Mo came up with a reason he had prepared: "Susan was your old classmate, right? I'm friends with her; she asked me to come here and find you."

After hearing this, Future slightly relaxed, complaining softly: "I told Susan not to divulge my whereabouts to anyone... Ah, what a person... What do you want from me?"

Su Mo: "I've encountered some technical difficulties and wanted to ask for your help with work."

Future waved her hands impatiently: "Not taking it, I haven't left the sewer for three years, haven't taken any work. You sure are odd, not looking for the many tech-savvy folks out there, but being tricked here by Susan to find me..."

Su Mo chuckled and said: "That's out of admiration for Miss Future. If we're talking technical talent, if you claim second, who in New Moon City dare claim first?"

"Hehe, you think flattering me a bit would make me happy?" Future rolled her eyes, lay directly on the bed declaring, "You should leave, I'm going to sleep, don't waste any more time here."
