"Dad, were you deceived when you bought this TV?" Lin, who was cleaning upstairs, also appeared, adjusting the channels unfamiliarly, and saw one advertisement after another flashing across the screen.

"Zach has told me about this." Boss Dart sighed and explained to us.

It turns out that Ore Town is located in a remote location with no owner, and in this era of relatively prosperous civilization, it is also a remote and remote area.

At present, the federation closest to Ore Town adopts a private television system, which uses six or seven television production companies to unite local television networks to form a broadcast television group. This is a free competition model.

Due to the special nature of private TV, they will charge TV fees at regular intervals in the area where they are located, and then relax TV programs. Most of them do not have the satellite TV of the original earth, and mainly adopt the cable mode.

However, Ore Town is too remote, and it is impossible for a company to be willing to lay lines and provide viewing services, so the TVs here can only watch public channels transmitted by satellite, such as news and weather.

The only ones left who are willing to spend money to engage in wide-spread tactics are small TV stations such as TV shopping.

"Then I really blamed Zach wrongly. I also don't think he has the ability to deceive the boss." I said.

But Lin was still not happy. After all, TV, which she had high hopes for, only had advertisements that kept up with the times. That left the old-fashioned and lengthy public programs, which could not attract her at all.

"Then can we watch programs from other places?" Lin asked reluctantly.

I recalled that in the original world there were some devices that could be used for terrestrial satellite reception and for illegally watching satellite TV with signal transmission.

Can this device be manufactured for use on televisions?

After this bold idea came up, I felt that it was very promising, and it was not illegal in this remote country.

"How about I go back and do some research? I might have some ideas."

The basic device requires a satellite antenna, receiver, and tuner. As for the rest, it can be gradually improved according to the technological level of the world.

"Really, Marcus?"

Lin looked at me expectantly, with longing on her face.

Boss Dart couldn't bear to see his daughter's disappointed look, and said to me sincerely: "Thank you very much, Marcus. If necessary, please take this TV back for experiments."

I quickly waved my hand and said, "No need, boss. I'll do some research first. If there are any results, I'll use them for experiments. Don't get too high hopes."

Lin quickly said: "Is there anything I can do to help? You have to work hard!"

"It should be, don't you think so, Gray?"

Gray, who was drowsy after eating next to him, suddenly heard someone calling him, and he nodded in confusion, and then asked as if he had just woken up from a dream: "It should... what should it be?"

"We should repay Boss Dart for the meal, right?" I said.

"Oh, yes." Gray nodded.

At this time, I also stood up and said to them: "Then I'll go find Zach and see if he has any parts you can use. He should be relatively clear about these mechanical things."

"Yeah!" Lin happily came over and held my arm, taking the opportunity to say to Boss Dart: "Dad, I'll go there too!"

Then before Boss Dart could react, he pulled me and ran out of the pub.

Ignoring the murderous gaze of the boss behind me, I walked out of the tavern bravely.

"Lin, the look in the boss's eyes just now was too scary!" I sighed to Lin.

Lin faced the refreshing wind outside, took a deep breath, then arranged her hair, and said with a smile: "Fortunately you are here, otherwise my father wouldn't let me go out casually."

"Why?"

"Dad was afraid that something might happen to me. He said it was very dangerous outside and told me not to run around." Lin said unhappily.

I just wondered how dangerous a small town could be. Gray and the others usually ran around in the town and nothing happened.

Lin looked at my confused face and whispered to me: "Actually, I don't blame dad. Ever since my mother passed away, he has been worried that I will have another accident."

I have indeed never met Lin's mother. But according to the boss's character, if he doesn't want to talk, it's useless for me to ask. But today I heard Lin say this...

"Did your mother have an accident?"

I asked cautiously.

Lin nodded, a trace of imperceptible disappointment flashed in her eyes.

"She died when I was little."

"Sorry, I asked about your sadness." My bad premonition came true.

The people in this town are really ill-fated. They are just ordinary residents, but all kinds of misfortunes happen one after another. Among the people I know, there seem to be very few people with healthy and happy families.

"It's okay. I was still young at that time and don't really remember what my mother looked like, so I won't be very sad."

Hey girl, your acting skills are very poor.

Your tears are almost flowing:

???!!

"It's okay."

I'll just pretend that I can't see it.

"But." Lin changed the topic and added, "Dad has always been very sad about this matter. Opening a bar and dormitory was also my mother's idea back then."

"They also ran such a bar in the city a long time ago, and they moved to this island before I was born."

No wonder Boss Dart works so hard to guard a bar that is obviously not making money.

"Didn't the boss tell you about the past?" I asked.

Lin shook her head, the bow in her hair fluttering in the wind.

"Actually, I have always envied Karen and Mary. They both have their parents with them. But compared to Purbury, Ellie, and Gray, I am very happy. I still have a father who takes care of me every day."

"Marcus, if you can, don't climb to the top of Mads Mountain. It's very dangerous there. Although I haven't been there..."

"Isn't Gotz patrolling there every day? Is it so dangerous?"

"From what my dad told me, it seems that many unexplainable things happened there before."

Yes, the haunted mines, mysterious murderous songs, invisible hounds, and the mountain disaster that took the lives of Gotz’s wife and daughter all happened around that mountain.

The mountain seems to be a companion of treasure and danger. While bringing wealth to the town, it also spreads ominousness.

This situation will probably stop until the town is completely abandoned.

"Don't worry, I don't have any reason to go there. I still want to take care of this ranch and start a career. As for leisure activities like mountain climbing, I won't consider it in the short term."

"Hehehe, that's good." Lin looked at me with a silly smile, pointed to the front and said, "That's the beach over there!"

Sure enough, the road under your feet has been replaced by special bricks with rose patterns. The colors are bright and elegant, recording the most glorious years of the town.

Sure enough, after pushing aside the shadows of the trees, the broad seaside appeared in front of us, dispersing the slightly dull atmosphere just now and being blown away by the salty sea breeze.

"Yo! This is the Marcus I told you..." Zach suddenly saw us appearing on the beach and didn't know what he was introducing. However, the other big man reacted very quickly and immediately shouted at the top of his voice.

"Master! I finally found Bi!"

Wait, Master?
