Mia nodded, but then immediately shook her head.

In the Scrap Terminal, there was one thing that was the most scarce, and that was food, and the stragglers who didn't think about production and only relied on scavenging for a living were basically teetering on the brink of starvation.

Martin pulled out a few compressed cookies in his arms, this was the emergency food he carried with him.

He had observed that there was a forest on the far side of the 'Scrap Terminal', and with a gun in his hand, he wasn't going to fret over food.

Mia accepted a compressed cookie with some trepidation, she had never seen this kind of food before.

Under Martin's guidance, Mia peeled the compressed cracker and carefully took a bite.

"Yummy~."

The young girl, who had already been hungry all day, wolfed it down.

"Your name is Mia right, take me out of here and these cookies are yours."

Mia, who had eaten all the compressed cookies in her hand, stared straight at the ones in Martin's hand and gulped.

"Yes, but you can't hurt me."

Martin didn't answer the other, but tumbled out of the dilapidated house, with a somewhat recovered Mia following close behind.

"Where are you going? You're not a resident of 'Scrap Terminal', are you?"

Martin's footsteps suddenly stopped, a cold aura emerged in his eyes, and he threw a piece of compressed cookie in his hand onto the ground, after which he crushed it with his foot.

"Take me out of here, and don't ask anything else."

If the young girl Mia showed any abnormality, Martin's hand, which was tightly gunned, would be aimed at Mia's forehead.

Mia was startled by Martin's action and took a few steps back.

"Okay~, okay."

Mia doesn't dare to say anything else and walks ahead quickly.

"Take me to the entrance of the 'Kingdom of Goya'."

Martin looked around vigilantly, from time to time, he could see stragglers with fierce eyes, those stragglers immediately put away their greedy gazes after noticing the gun in Martin's hand.

Recalling the information he received from the anime, Martin began to think about his next countermeasure.

The so-called 'Scrap Terminal' was actually a large-scale garbage dump, because the 'Kingdom of Goya' had dumped a large amount of household garbage outside of the city, which led to the current scene.

Those stragglers with fierce glares were originally just residents of the 'Kingdom of Goya', who were driven here either for committing felonies or offending the nobles.

The rotting of garbage produces a toxin-laced green smoke that spreads through the 'Waste Terminal', constantly eroding the lives of the stragglers.

The most obvious manifestation of this is that Martin's life value has dropped from 100%, to 98%.

There were no doctors, no food, crime and disease spread in the 'Scrap Terminal', it was the lawless zone, where everything was based on the strength of power.

Through Mia's lead, Martin quickly walked out of the 'Scrap Terminal' and came to a high wall.

The high wall piled with black stone towered over, and a modest gate appeared within Martin's line of sight.

"This is as far as we can go, there is a law in the 'Kingdom of Goya' that stragglers cannot enter the city, and if they are found, they will be executed."

Although Mia was talking to Martin, her eyes were fixed on the compressed crackers in Martin's hand.

Tossing the compressed cookies to Mia, Martin no longer pays attention to the other party, and Mia directly runs away, giving Martin the lead only because of the temptation of the food, no other reason.

The gates of the 'Kingdom of Goya' were wide open, with a few guards standing on both sides of the gates.

This was only a side gate, serving to facilitate the dumping of garbage.

Although those guards looked lazy, a cold light flashed in their eyes from time to time, these guards should often kill those stragglers who intended to break into the city.

Martin hid on the side and didn't rush into the city, he was waiting for the right moment.

It was simply impossible to fight hard with those guards, the inhabitants of the pirate world's physique were exceptionally strong, the young girl Mia was actually able to recover in a short period of time after being hit hard by him, this made Martin wary.

Martin guessed that the guards' attributes, at least, were all above ten points, or maybe even higher.

One hour, two hours, until three hours later, it was already noon, the temperature was rapidly rising, the weather heated up, and the opportunity Martin was waiting for, finally appeared.

A carriage loaded with household garbage drove out from the city, the pungent putrid odor spread out a long way, the guards didn't even bother to look at the carriage, instead, they subconsciously retreated a few steps away.

"My lords, do you need a routine inspection."

The driver stopped the carriage, somewhat fearful of the guards.

"Hurry up and go, it stinks."

The guards waved their palms in boredom, without the slightest intention to inspect.

Martin in the distance raised his eyebrows after seeing this scene and quickly followed that carriage.

After the carriage went deeper into the garbage mountain, it found an open space and started to dump the garbage, the driver who was coy before, a dagger was suddenly added to his waist, the weak and the strong are the rules of the 'Scrap Terminal,'

Lighting a cigarette to cover up the stench, the coachman picked up a shovel and began to sweep the stained carriage.

While the coachman was busy and sweating, Martin came behind the coachman silently as if he was a wildcat, and just as Martin was about to knock out the coachman, his foot stepped on a half-broken glass.

"Click." A crunching sound came from the cart driver's body shook.

Martin was also startled, in this dirty 'scrap terminal', under his feet was a very deep layer of garbage, and stepping on it was so flimsy that he couldn't even notice what was under his feet.

But at this moment, the arrow was on the string and had to be fired, so Martin directly pounced forward.

The driver was not a kind person, he turned around and drew the dagger on his waist, directly stabbing at Martin.

The carter's vicious expression made Martin understand that the other party wanted him dead.

Martin's gaze began to freeze, in this mission world, it's either you die or I die, to be merciful to your enemy is to be cruel to yourself.

Raising the flintlock rifle in his hand, Martin aimed the gun at the head of the cart driver.

If it was an ordinary person who was pointed at by the gun, he would definitely stop or retreat immediately, but this car driver was different, he actually lunged even faster.

Martin pulled the trigger expressionlessly, the hammer behind the gun body hit the flint, sparks spattered out, the gunpowder inside the chamber was ignited, a large amount of gunpowder was ignited in a small space, exploding a powerful kinetic energy, with fire and smoke overflowing in all directions, the projectile inside the chamber erupted out.

"Bang."

Thick smoke rose, a pungent stench of gunpowder spread, a lead bullet directly into the head of the cart driver, the cart driver's forward form came to an abrupt end, directly knocked out two meters away, the body convulsed twice and then died.

[Tip: You have killed the black market merchant].

[Your talent 'Spirit Eater' activates, permanently increasing your mana by 5 points, existing mana is 65 points.]

[You obtain the Treasure Chest (White)

[This is your first kill, Savings Space opens (2 square meters), upon returning to the Mysterious Land, the Savings Space can be upgraded in size using Mysterious Land Coins.]]

The hints from the Mysterious Land let Martin know that it wasn't a cart driver at all, but a black market merchant who should have been using his identity as a cart driver to make some kind of deal inside the scrap terminal.

After the black market merchant's death, there was a wooden crate floating above his body, the crate was white in color overall and was only the size of the palm of his hand.

Martin attempted to pick up the wooden chest floating in mid-air, and although it was only the size of his palm, it was heavy in his hands.

[Treasure Chest (White), Yes/No Open]

Martin did not open the [Treasure Chest], but placed the [Treasure Chest] and the [Broken Fusilier] into the storage space.

With a thought, the [Broken Flintlock Pistol] appeared in his hand, Martin was satisfied with the newly appeared storage space, it was a very practical feature. If this ability was utilized well, it would help him greatly in completing his mission.

This place wasn't safe, so Martin didn't choose to open the [Treasure Chest (White)], in case the treasure chest opened and gave him a golden light, then he would be in danger, the priority right now was to enter the capital city of the 'Kingdom of Goya'.

Martin took off his top and replaced it with that black market merchant's clothing.

After hesitating for a moment, Martin directly flung himself into the stained water on the ground, the stench came from his clothes and cheeks, which were stained with large swathes of sewage, making it impossible for people to see his face clearly.

Sitting in front of the carriage, Martin somewhat rustily maneuvered the horse and traveled towards the city.

At this moment, he was holding a dagger in his hand, the very same dagger that was in the hands of that black market merchant, but this dagger, was a bit different from what he had imagined.
