My sampan can be upgraded

"Come to the northeastern part of the square and I'll introduce you to some friends." Li Buer sent a voice message to Ling Qi.

Ling Qi went as instructed. Among the crowd in the northeast corner, the image of the bad old man was clearly visible. Ling Qi saw that there were four men and one woman of about the same age beside him, but the clean and tidy appearance of those four people was in sharp contrast to Li Bu'er's slovenliness.

Li Buer was talking nonstop to the four of them, but an old man with a hooked nose was the first to see Ling Qi, who was walking straight towards him with a clear goal. He stopped Li Buer from speaking and signaled to Ling Qi.

Li Buer turned his head and said immediately: "That's right, this guy is my new apprentice!"

"Teacher! Hello teachers!" Ling Qi called out and greeted the other four people humbly.

"Okay! Not bad, a very energetic young man, polite!" The old woman smiled. The other three old men also nodded with expressions of approval. It was obvious that Ling Qi's attitude satisfied them.

Li Buer rolled his eyes strangely: "I am your teacher, they are not!"

"If there are three of us, there must be my teacher. Teacher, you are in good shape!" Ling Qi said, imitating the monk's manner and making a one-handed salute.

The four old men had strange expressions on their faces and glanced back and forth at Li Bu'er and Ling Qi. The hook-nosed old man laughed strangely and said, "Li Bu'er, why do we think he is your teacher? Look at his state, three people walking together There must be a teacher for me, tsk tsk, this can become a wise saying, I will have to teach the younger generations of my family this way later on."

This is a wise saying! Ling Qi said in his heart.

A short old man who always had a smile on his face applauded and sighed: "In terms of this humble cultivation, you are also our teacher! Li Buer just has a bad attitude and is so weird that he has no friends, only us A few of them took pity on him and helped him out."

Another white-faced old man nodded in agreement: "Furthermore, this old guy has no technical ability and is not motivated. He has been an apprentice for decades and finally passed the lowest level of first-level engineer. He can only accept some jobs that do not require much skills and the salary is And tasks with the lowest contribution points will no longer be assessed, and he plans to work until he retires. But relying only on those lowest-level tasks, I guess he won’t be able to save enough 1 million contribution points to enjoy retirement benefits until he dies!”

"This old guy is not good at taking care of apprentices. He has taken care of apprentices hundreds of times. Not to mention being admitted as an engineer, not one of them has even become a full-time apprentice. He is simply misleading his disciples." The hook-nosed old man made up his mind.

Ling Qi was speechless. Did you ever talk about your teacher like that in front of other apprentices? What kind of friends are these? Are these technical people really in arrears with their emotional intelligence?

The old woman smiled and said, "Moreover, this sloppy old man is addicted to alcohol. He only drinks Starlight. The star coins he earns from completing tasks are not enough to pay for his drinks. He often asks us to borrow money!"

Ling Qi looked at Li Bu'er in shock. Damn, this old man is such a spendthrift. The market price of a bottle of "Xinghui" is 120 star coins, which is equivalent to 12 billion credit points. Compared with low-end wines in the mass market that cost a few credit points to dozens of credit points per bottle, this gap is beyond the imagination of ordinary people. He had only heard of it, but he didn't even bother to buy it to try it. The most expensive wine stored on the cruise ship was only million-credit-level.

However, "starlight" is also expensive. Ling Qi has seen images on the Internet. Not to mention the charming starlight that can be emitted in the wine, the property of extending life is priceless. It is said that rare materials are used in its brewing, and not even the absolute rich can afford to drink it. Even Lei Yue didn't bring it out when he invited Ling Qi to dinner. I don't know if he didn't have it or was reluctant to give it up, or he thought Ling Qi wasn't worth it.

Li Buer's expression remained unchanged, and he didn't care at all about the four people's quarrels. He said calmly: "Yes, that's it! Stop talking nonsense now. I have a new apprentice. The four of you should bring the gifts first!"

Ling Qi fainted, no wonder these four people stepped on him so hard!

"Hmph..." The four of them snorted coldly, glared at Li Buer fiercely for a long time, and reluctantly transferred the money on the spot. Each person had one hundred and twenty star coins, which was exactly the same as giving each person a bottle of "Xinghui" as a congratulation.

Damn, are you so rich? Ling Qi's eyes widened and he almost drooled.

"Grandparents, where are mine? My meeting gift!" Ling Qi blinked, showing an innocent expression.

The four old people were stunned. Li Buer laughed loudly and slapped his thigh. He suddenly felt that Ling Qi was very appetizing. In comparison, the apprentices I had accepted before were all useless, no wonder they all failed the apprenticeship assessment.

There was no smile on the short old man's face, as if he had been constipated for more than ten days without being able to get rid of it. The white-faced old man had veins pulsing on his forehead. The hook-nosed old man and the old woman also wrinkled their faces and sighed.

"It's over, damn, this old bastard was enough for us, and now there's another little bastard!" The hook-nosed old man wrinkled his face into a chrysanthemum.

The white-faced old man glared at Li Buer: "When we accepted apprentices, you didn't give them a greeting gift!"

"They didn't ask me to give it!" Li Buer said, rolling his eyes.

"Then make up for it now!"

"How is it possible? You won't make up for it later! Don't talk nonsense. I'm waiting for your meeting gift, please be a little elderly, okay?"

Damn this hob meat! The four of them looked at each other, shook their heads and sighed, and transferred money to Ling Qi one after another, the same amount of 120 star coins each. The old woman was the last one to finish the transfer, and complained to the white-faced old man: "Why do you transfer so many to the juniors? It's a bad start, and we will follow suit!"

The other three people were stunned, yes, who said there would be so many transfers?

Well, six gazes fell on the white-faced old man like sharp swords, and the white-faced old man's face became even paler.

Ling Qi bowed happily and sang: "Thank you, grandparents. I wish you four as long as the flowing water of the East China Sea, and as long as the immortal pines of Nanshan Mountain!"

"Hmph, you can talk!" The old woman's face brightened slightly, and the other three people also began to inquire about Ling Qi's identity. When they learned that Ling Qi came from the remote Xiebao Galaxy and was now running a cruise ship in the Jingyue Empire, the four of them lost much interest.

Ling Qi took the opportunity to ask for advice: "Teacher, in what form is the apprenticeship assessment conducted? I asked Spatial Intelligence, and it suggested that I ask my teacher or participate in a tutoring class."

Li Buer had just earned a sum of star coins and was in a very good mood. He replied cheerfully: "The apprenticeship is assessed on the most basic hands-on ability. The assessor will randomly provide a batch of damaged basic parts. As long as you can repair a certain number That’s it. Or we can provide a batch of spare parts and assembly standards and require you to assemble them manually.”

"In the future, if you are promoted to an engineer, you will need to take more theoretical assessments, analyze a large number of damaged equipment, propose correct repair plans, and drive various robots for repair and assembly operations. Although most faults can now be analyzed and repaired by intelligent robots , but in Stargate, it is emphasized that engineers themselves must also have these analytical and hands-on abilities. Blindly relying on intelligent robots will restrict human creativity and will not go far." The short old man also helped guide and said to Ling Qi.

Ling Qi lost his composure: "Manual assessment?"

"Yes. Don't worry, you can even repair the energy matrix of the thruster and energy warehouse. The apprenticeship examination will not be difficult for you!" Li Buer said casually.

The four old people looked shocked. Can you cultivate energy matrix at such a young age? The way they looked at Ling Qi changed. This boy has a bright future! That old guy Li Buer actually got such a huge advantage for nothing, it was really time for him to turn around.

However, Ling Qi knew his own affairs and smiled bitterly in his heart. Damn, this is going to be difficult. It would be fine if it was a spatial intelligence proctor. How could he use his skills to cheat under the eyes of the examiners?

And he really doesn’t know how to assemble parts!

"Take it one step at a time and give it a try first!" Ling Qi decided to take the assessment immediately. As soon as he expressed his idea, Li Bu'er of course supported him strongly. If he completed his regular job one day earlier, he would be able to take over the task one day earlier and help him earn rewards.

Four old people also showed interest and claimed that they were waiting for Ling Qi's assessment results in the square. If he succeeded, they would be rewarded.
