Qu Jianlei took off the robotic arm with one hand, took out some tools, and sat in the yard to start testing.
"Damn, that's so powerful!" someone muttered in a low voice.
The net weight of this robotic arm is almost two hundred kilograms, and the opponent could lift it with one hand.
"There are many evil people here in Zhou Liu," the only woman said, "Let's see what he is like."
Qu Jianlei was immersed in analyzing the faults of the robotic arm and didn't bother to pay attention to them - even if there was an accident, Hua Scorpion would not be free.
Hua Xingzi is really dedicated, "Shen Jing, do you still want to repair the mechanical arm?"
"A maintenance technician has the dignity of a maintenance technician. Don't think that just because you can kill a few mutant beasts, you will be great!"
This is true. A strong fighter can look down on others, but a strong repairman can look down on adventurers.
What a good partner! Qu Jianlei secretly praised... Bringing Hua Xiezi to Zhouzi was indeed something he did right!
Then he raised his head and spoke calmly, "The two-blade fan with main power output, the main shaft of the support arm, the three-phase hydraulic matching..."
"These all have problems, and they are very troublesome to repair."
The woman spoke very unhappily, "People in Zhouliu love to play this trick. Just tell me how much it will cost!"
Are you playing this trick? Qu Jianlei looked at her up and down and didn't bother to pay attention, "Do you provide all the maintenance materials?"
The stout man raised his hand to stop the woman from speaking, but in the end he lowered it feebly - he didn't understand this thing.
"Exactly, it's just materials," the woman replied disapprovingly, "We've prepared all the materials, how much do you think we'll charge?"
Qu Jianlei thought about it and reported a number, "Four hundred silver dollars."
"It's not that expensive," the woman couldn't help but said, "It's the materials that are expensive, so stop it at eighty."
According to their estimate, if the materials are 80, the total cost will be 200, which is still three times the labor cost.
Therefore, the labor cost should be forty, but the other party directly asked for four hundred... This is ten times the price.
I have seen people with dark hearts, but I have never seen anyone with such a dark heart.

Chapter 82 Looking for the back account (Second update to congratulate Brother Huang Jinmengbangzi 2/10)
Can eighty silver dollars get the materials? Qu Jianlei really didn't know much about this.
After calling Zhou Liu, he was a little confused about various prices.
Fortunately, with Cindy and Claire to worry about it all day long, and old Spencer keeping an eye on it, we wouldn't suffer too much of a loss.
However, Qu Jianlei had no intention of arguing about the price. He said calmly, "If you think it's expensive, you don't have to repair it."
"We will never accept this price," the woman replied simply, "we will only offer eighty silver dollars."
It wasn't for her hard counter-offering, but the estimated repair cost was only forty silver dollars, which was already twice as much.
Qu Jianlei put away his tools, then waved his hand and said nonchalantly, "It's better to leave now."
When the woman heard this, she was slightly stunned. Shouldn't there be a bargaining process?
The stout man hesitated and said, "One hundred and twenty yuan...how about it?"
"No counter-offer," Qu Jianlei replied very simply, "You can find whoever you want to fix it with."
The sturdy man couldn't help but ask again, "Then those three questions you just mentioned, can you repeat them?"
"Why?" Qu Jianlei looked at him strangely, "I didn't charge you for the test."
The woman finally seized the opportunity and said simply, "I'll pay for the testing...how much do you think it is?"
Qu Jianlei glanced at her, lowered his head to pack his tools, and said impatiently, "Go out...I don't need that little money."
The woman wanted to say something else, but she was pulled away by the strong man, and the group had to leave angrily.
"It's really too much," Claire took the initiative to speak out, "How can you pretend to be a generous person if you can't afford the money?"
"Stop talking," Cindy scolded her daughter, thinking, "Look at how much your mother's salary was a month ago!"
"Hey," Claire sighed helplessly, feeling very annoyed that the matchmaking failed. She always wanted to prove that she had grown up.
"These poor people really don't give me face."
Qu Jianlei didn't take this matter to heart, "Old driver, do you think it's okay for the three of us to go hunting?"
Cindy glanced at her daughter worriedly, "Is it safe to let Xueying look after the house alone?"
What a bullshit nickname my daughter... got.
"Leave Spencer to me," Claire replied without hesitation, "I can take care of the house."
She really didn't know how high the sky was. If she was the only one left, even the snow mastiff could sneak up on her.
However, what was rare was that Spencer actually took the initiative to apply, "Take me with you on hunting, I'm very familiar with this place."
"With Xue'er's help, the harvest will not be bad. You can just give me the reward as you see fit. Anyway, you have taken care of me for so many days."
He has never tried to escape, not only because he is timid, but also because... he and Xue'er can have a full meal here.
Old Spencer is indeed a master of porcelain, but it’s impossible to have outsiders in Honesty Camp all day long, right?
There are times when he succeeds, but there are more times when he fails. After he succeeds, he must also pay attention to those who helped him.
Moreover, Xue'er's appetite is much greater than that of him, and she usually eats every meal when she is hungry.
Sometimes, old Spencer even thinks that it would be good to live here forever.
Cindy wasn't too worried about this old guy. If Spencer was taken away and her daughter took care of the yard, it wouldn't be a big problem.
Outside the settlements, order is a little worse than in the city, but living in your own yard is no problem.
If you encounter anyone who dares to break in, just beat him to death. Cindy believes that her daughter can do this.
So she asked, "You have such a smart snow mastiff, wouldn't it be easy to find someone to form a team with?"
"I rarely take orders like this," Spencer replied honestly, "unless I know the ins and outs..."
If Xueer is rented out, there is a high chance that he will not come back. He can go with him, but his life is very likely to be in danger.
Seriously, although these foreigners are ruthless, they don't care if they have an extra person or dog to eat.
So unknowingly, he listed the other party as a trustworthy person.
Cindy raised her eyebrows and asked calmly, "Are there many conflicts between hunter teams?"
She has the same concerns as Qu Jianlei and Hua Xiezi, and she is not afraid to ask questions directly - we are just outsiders.
Almost at the same moment, two off-road vehicles drove into the gate of the settlement.
Sitting in the passenger seat of the car in front was a big man with a sinewy face. He frowned and muttered with dissatisfaction.
"Winter is coming soon, and the main settlement actually asked people to check on people..."
The driver snorted softly, "Do you need to consider that? Anyway, if you catch him alive, you will get five thousand silver dollars, and if you die, you will get one thousand silver dollars."
"That guy's a mecha!" The big man replied dissatisfied, "Even if it's a transport mecha, you can't buy it with five thousand silver dollars!"
"Of course there is no need to turn in the mecha," the driver replied nonchalantly, "We are just conveying the wanted order..."
"If you really feel in danger, just stay in the settlement. No one will force you to go out."
"You know shit," the big man snorted, "I heard that the secrets in this guy's body are worth at least half a million!"
"Are you sure?" The driver's hands trembled in fright, "This... you really have to risk your life."
"I'm afraid it won't be your turn," the big man replied casually, and then he muttered under his breath, "That's why I hesitated."
"But I'm surprised. Neither Krishna nor Rich is an ordinary person. How could he be a fool in the first place?"
Qu Jianlei and the others initially decided on the eucalyptus and planned to go hunting when the next cold wave arrived.
Who would have thought that in the evening, the group of people repairing the robotic arm would come to the door again.
This time the woman didn't come in, it was the stout man who came in.
The man raised his hand and said politely, "This friend... was neglectful in the morning."
When Qu Jianlei heard this, he didn't even raise his head and went to check the off-road light truck - it needed maintenance before hunting.
Claire was chopping firewood with a small axe. She raised her head and said coldly, "What are you doing here?"
To be continued...
