Chapter 81 The heart is so dark (1st update to congratulate Jin Huang Mengbangzi brother 1/10)
In these days, Claire has been very aggressive to Spencer.
The old man was scheming and shameless. He had tricked many people, but he was still manipulated by this little girl.
He also tried to please this little aunt, but it was useless!
The advice Claire received from her mother was: Never believe that there is love without reason in this world.
Not to mention that the old man's body has long been marked as a "fraud".
Fortunately, Xue'er was clever. Seeing that she often made things difficult for her master, she chose to "endure the humiliation" and be stroked by her from time to time.
But even so, their relationship is not much better.
So much so that even people in the market outside the city heard that old Spencer was eaten to death by a little girl.
Today they went out to purchase some thick curtains for winter, as well as some alloy and synthetic materials.
Those materials were ordered by Qu Jianlei, who wanted to make a portable dryer and oven.
As a result, when Claire was buying materials, she heard someone said that she could not find a place to repair the robotic arm.
She knew that her boss was very good at repairing machinery, so she couldn't help but ask, what's so difficult about the mechanical arm?
Seeing that the speaker was a little girl, she didn't care too much. She just asked impatiently: "Can you repair it?"
I don't know how to fix it, but my boss can! Claire told him proudly.
But my boss really doesn’t like these guys, he makes a lot of money!
The other party was very excited after hearing this, and said that as long as your boss can repair it, the price is negotiable, and there is no problem in doubling the price.
But Kelai'er said: Don't lie to me, you can't believe what people in Zhouliu say. I'm just telling you that it's very simple to repair this thing.
As a result, the other party became even more happy when he heard this, saying that we were also from outside, and if we could really repair it, I would pay three times the price.
However, Claire was not sure that her boss could definitely make this money, so she came back to ask first.
When Qu Jianlei heard this, he first looked at Spencer, "Is there anyone near the settlement who can repair the mechanical arm?"
"There must be, how could it not be?" Spencer replied without hesitation.
He was very proud of Zhou Liu, "There are them both in and outside the city. Maybe...it's very damaged and no one else will repair it for him?"
"I know this," at this moment, Cindy walked into the courtyard gate. She had just returned from buying books in the settlement.
"Yesterday's snow accelerated the arrival of winter, and all kinds of repair shops are very busy..."
Winter is approaching, and it’s not just the robotic arms that need to be repaired. Vehicles need to be maintained, and various outdoor machines also need to be repaired.
Cindy saw this scene when she was in the city. There was a long queue outside the repair shop.
There are always people who are unwilling to queue and want to jump in line, so fights are not uncommon.
As a result, the settlement issued an order to give priority to repairing the equipment of the city guard, and then to the residents of the wealthy areas of the settlement.
Those in the slums, just wait, it will be your turn when you are done!
As for the needs of those "outsiders", the settlement simply ignores them - we give priority to our own residents, is that wrong?
In order to ensure the progress of repairs, even maintenance personnel from outside the city were recruited into the settlement to work overnight.
This situation has resulted in many outsiders being unable to find repairmen outside the city!
It's such blatant discrimination that people in Zhouliu don't even feel that they are wrong.
As for some people who say that robotic arms are useful for hunting in the wild... so what?
They would rather repair common civilian equipment, such as ironing machines, than help outsiders repair weapons.
There is really no one who can be so arrogant.
In fact, they believe that too many outsiders come to hunt in winter, which is to compete with the residents of Zhouliu for resources.
Such a good hunting ground should be reserved for the Zhou Liu people. As for the hunting that cannot be finished in a while...you can hunt slowly.
In fact, similar things happened in the past, and the Zhouliu community dominated the hunting ground through repeated struggles.
But it is a pity that Zhou Liu is not strong enough to kill so many prey, and the size of the beasts is getting bigger and bigger.
Later, they had to ask outsiders to come for support, otherwise it would be really difficult to carry on.
However, after the beast tide was defeated, the Zhou Liu people couldn't help but return to their old ways - there is no more beast tide, so don't come to grab resources!
All in all, it is a very urinary mentality.
Qu Jianlei was too lazy to continue listening. He was not qualified to complain, "What type of robotic arm?"
Spencer was speechless and unable to answer. Although he was well-informed, he spent all his time trying to figure out people's hearts.
He can tell the difference between a laser gun and a Gauss rifle, but it's really difficult to expect him to tell the difference between mecha models.
The best he can do is distinguish which kind of robotic arm is not easy to mess with, and which kind of robotic arm is affordable even for poor people.
Claire knelt down, picked up an iron bar, and drew it on the ground.
The little girl is very talented in painting. The things she draws may not be very similar, but she can definitely capture the "spirit" of the objects.
That is to say - what kind of bullshit are you drawing? You have drawn such a good XX!
Qu Jianlei didn't know much about robotic arms before. After Zhou San bought the book, he has been tinkering with it.
So he nodded slightly, "Cleaner Type 3... This thing is very expensive and can be used as a mecha kit."
The name Cleaner sounds like a construction robot arm, but people who think so are really wrong.
The cleaners are responsible for cleaning up the contaminated ruins. They do have construction capabilities, but their protective capabilities are very strong.
Not only can it protect against poison and radiation, but it can also kill mutant beasts.
This is a construction robot arm that has little to no impact resistance but strong melee combat capabilities...
But what puzzles Qu Jianlei the most is: shouldn’t this be control equipment?
As expected, Hua Xiezi said, "Since it is a mecha package...this thing should be controlled."
"Mecha control has been a dead letter for a long time," Cindy said indifferently, "This kind of thing can be achieved if you think of a way."
When Qu Jianlei and Hua Xiezi heard this, they were both shocked.
Because they were so shocked, the two of them didn't even dare to exchange glances. They were just secretly suspicious - they didn't even care about mechas here?
Is the difference between Hongzi District and Zhouzi District really that big?
However, Qu Jianlei was not shocked. He quickly calmed down and said, "If it's not a problem with the materials, it can be repaired!"
"Boss, please wait for me," Kelaier led the snow mastiff and rushed out of the courtyard gate with excitement on his face.
"Auntie, please wait for me," old Spencer smiled bitterly and followed him out. His arms and legs were old, but he still ran not too slowly.
Not long after, Claire brought back three people, two men and one woman, all of whom were masked.
One of the sturdy men raised his hand and said, "I heard that Mr. can repair the Cleaner Type 3. We took the liberty to come... Excuse me for disturbing you."
Qu Jianlei waved his hand and said impatiently, "No need to say polite words, how much can you offer?"
The sturdy man was stunned for a moment, and then burst out laughing, "He is indeed a capable person, so magnanimous!"
"I just don't want to waste time," Qu Jianlei said frankly. He was really not ordinary straightforward.
The stout man raised two fingers and answered without hesitation, "Two hundred silver dollars... bottom line!"
"It's just that little," Claire couldn't help it, "Do you know how much my boss earns in one night?"
"One night?" The stout man was a little dazed. Has any rich woman come to Zhou Liu recently...or maybe it's a man?
"What are you talking about?" Qu Jianlei stopped Claire. He knew that she had heard about the battle between the Frost Wolves.
But your household registration has been cancelled. Don’t you know that the last thing I want is for others to imagine it?
"Am I talking nonsense?" Claire felt so wronged that her eyes were red, "Two hundred silver dollars... they don't deserve it!"
"Why are you so upset?" Qu Jianlei said lightly, "Bring the things in and let me take a look."
The stout man winked, and a man walked out. After a while, a three-wheeler drove into the yard.
There is a robotic arm placed on the truck body, which is about thirty centimeters thick and has a folded length of one meter and three meters.
To be continued...
