Chapter 83 Looking for trouble (third update)

The size of the sonic flaw detector is not very large, but it is not available in average-sized repair shops.

After all, human life in the wasteland is not valuable. If the parts are broken, they can be replaced. How big a deal is it if there are hidden dangers?

The cold wave has not come recently, so the maintenance engineers are much less stressed.

Among the adventurers who came from other places, there were also maintenance technicians who took on some maintenance work.

This woman has always suspected Qu Jianlei, but she could never find the right person.

Yesterday, she finally found a maintenance technician in the city, and it was the one wearing oil-stained sleeves.

This person heard that someone had detected hidden dangers in the Cleaner III spindle, and asked what kind of sonic flaw detector was used.

Flaw detectors are not cheap to begin with. The higher the grade, the more expensive they are.

The strong man and the woman reminisced for a long time, and also described the various tools at that time - they felt that nothing was particularly professional.

The maintenance man was angry. He was his enemy in the past, but a half-hearted person opened his mouth like a lion in front of his house. Who could bear this?

So early this morning, he came to ask questions.

When Qu Jianlei heard what he said, he looked at him suspiciously. This kind of external negotiation was usually done by Hua Xiezi.

However, she doesn't know much about mechanical maintenance.

So Qu Jianlei refused very bluntly, "It's none of your business!"

The man wearing the sleeves turned pale, "Then you are suspected of fraud. Do you know what the crime is?"

Suspected of fraud... Qu Jianlei glanced sideways at Spencer and simply said one word, "Get out!"

This old liar has deceived many people, and you don’t care. Now he’s telling me about fraud?

The maintenance man's face darkened, "Do you believe that I reported it to the city...have you considered the consequences?"

"Pull them down," Cindy couldn't help it. She was very familiar with this kind of thing. "I want to report it without evidence. Is this settlement run by your family?"

The maintenance man glanced at her, with an indescribable strangeness in his eyes.

"No," Spencer was anxious and couldn't help shouting. He was really familiar with these things.

"Old driver, as long as he gets a good spindle, it will be considered as evidence!"

"What the hell..." Cindy wanted to curse when she heard this, "Are these people in the Zhouliu settlement area?"

Qu Jianlei looked at the maintenance man, a strange light flashed in his eyes, and asked slowly, "As a maintenance man, how can you do such a dirty thing?"

There is a kind of ethics called industry ethics. For example, financial personnel cannot mess with money, otherwise their careers will be ruined.

The same goes for maintenance engineers. Corruption or robbery are not considered serious crimes. They can continue to work at their jobs after being released from prison.

But if you tamper with your profession and your reputation is ruined, you won't be able to continue doing it.

The man wearing the greasy sleeves turned red when he heard this - technical people are generally more shameless.

Due to work reasons, he knew some people in society and hesitated to frame them. This was not difficult to do.

But if he really does this, he will be discrediting his profession.

So he hesitated and replied, "If you can't prove that you are not a liar, then don't blame me for being rude!"

A dangerous light flashed in Hua Xiezi's eyes, "You want us to prove our innocence, is this a threat?"

Spencer made a leisurely stab at the side, "It's just that people in the same industry are jealous of each other... It's just not easy to do a regular job."

He is a side hustler, and there is competition among peers, but everyone is shady and most of the time emphasizes cooperation.

Another middle-aged man couldn't help it and coughed lightly, "I have no intention of making false accusations, I just want to verify the truth."

Cindy said coldly, "In what capacity are you trying to verify the truth?"

The man replied in a deep voice, "My name is Geng Shougong, and I am responsible for the management and certification of maintenance technicians in the entire settlement."

Repair shops are self-contained and not easy to open.

Wilderness camps are a mixed bag, so let’s not mention small shops. Maintenance shops at supply depots must have certified maintenance technicians.

This is not simply for the sake of customers, the main thing is that the system, the settlement must be in hand.

For example, if Qu Jianlei doesn't open a store and only takes orders sporadically at home, no one else can take care of him.

Geng Shougong's words also showed that the other party came here not just to make things worse, but because he really thought he had met a liar.

But when it comes to this aspect, it is Cindy’s strength. “How many A-level maintenance engineers does Zhou Liu have?”

"Ma'am, you are kidding," Geng Shougong replied sternly, "All the A-level ones are in the main settlement."

He said with pride, "There are five Class Bs in Zhou Liu, and two of them were certified by me!"

B-level maintenance engineers are really awesome, and there won’t be more than three in an average settlement.

Cindy remembered clearly that when her late husband was here, there were only two B-level maintenance technicians in the entire Zhou San settlement.

One of them was already old and almost dying, but even then, he was supported by everyone.

She looked at the man in the sleeves thoughtfully, "This B-level... was also certified by you?"

"He is only C-level," Geng Shougong replied calmly, "but it has been many years, and B-level is only a matter of time."

These words are very reasonable, but Cindy shook her head, "It's just C-level, you don't have the right to question my boss."

"I am level B," Geng Shougong pointed to himself and spoke seriously, "I was certified at the general settlement... Do I need to see the certificate?"

He could feel that the other party was not only not easy to mess with, but also not a wild person. Of course, he had to pay attention to the rules.

The books that Qu Jianlei read were actually not without purpose. The Zhouliu settlement area can really be called "fairly orderly".

But the premise is that you must have similar strength to have the qualifications to reason with Zhou Liu.

Those guys who can trick even Spencer have no right to talk about order.

Cindy raised her chin and said unceremoniously, "Then please show me."

Geng Shougong took out a card and shook it, "Is it okay?"

"Wait a minute," Cindy shouted, "How come the chain under the B-level...has become a dark pattern?"

"Expert!" Geng Shougong gave a thumbs up, "I just changed my ID card the year before last year. I just happened to go back to Zhouzi headquarters."

Cindy nodded towards Qu Jianlei, "Boss, there should be no problem with your identity."

"It's really annoying," Qu Jianlei couldn't help but mutter, "I don't rely on this business to make a living."

"Wait a minute," Geng Shougong said, "Friend, if you can prove your strength, I can introduce you to a big job!"

When Qu Jianlei heard this, he was really moved. He didn't need a small amount of money, but the mutant crystal... was too expensive.

And there is a saying on Blue Star - He who makes many friends will make few enemies.

But after thinking about it, he asked again, "Are there any benefits that can be obtained immediately?"

Geng Shougong was also stunned for a moment before he asked, "Have you read any publications on maintenance engineers?"

Publications? Qu Jianlei's heart suddenly trembled. There are actually publications in the wasteland now?

Fortunately, he always wears a scarf on his face, so he doesn't worry about others seeing through it.

So he asked, "What type of publication are you talking about... materials, power, electronic control, sensing, or integrated detection, attack and defense?"

"Expert!" Geng Shougong gave a thumbs up calmly, but his heart was filled with turmoil.

Anyone who does maintenance knows that equipment is composed of various systems and components. It is not surprising to know this.

But if you think that there are publications on these details, then if you are not crazy, you are exposed to a very high level!

Even an A-level maintenance engineer may not be able to access such news.

Geng Shougong himself has never come across similar detailed publications, but he knows very well that there is such a thing!

So what the other party said shows that he really has a background.

"I'm not an expert," Qu Jianlei shook his head. I have just experienced the era of information explosion.

He has really come into contact with many related publications on Blue Star, and there are too many subdivided fields. He can't say that to brag.

Then he asked bluntly, "What can you show me?"

This question is a bit philistine, but he is really not afraid to ask it - want to tell me what to do? Please come up with something real.

"I only have comprehensive ones," Geng Shougong felt a little embarrassed, "Subdivided items... are not very convenient for the time being."

The maintenance technician wearing oil-stained sleeves was shocked, "Sir, are there really subdivisions?"

"Shut up!" Geng Shougong glared at him impatiently. If it weren't for you, would I be so embarrassed?

The strong man and the woman had been stunned for a long time... We were complaining about someone.

Geng Shougong smiled at Qu Jianlei and said, "I happen to have a journal with me. Can you take a look at it?"

Qu Jianlei didn't do anything, he just looked at the other person - just talking, is it interesting?

Geng Shougong took out a book from his arms and handed it to Spencer next to him.
