My sampan can be upgraded

Regarding Ling Qi's "quibble", the staff at the monitoring center had no choice but to end. Although the use of energy traction ropes to hoist equipment is classified as a violation, the factor that determines whether to be punished is not the behavior itself, but the consequences of the violation.

If there are no consequences for loss, there will naturally be no punishment...

The Xuntian slowly flew over the community where Li Buer was located. The huge hull cast a large shadow on the ground, attracting many people to look up.

Li Bu'er was also among the people who raised their heads. He had already seen the Xuantian and knew that it was Ling Qi's car, so he was indifferent to the comments of his neighbors.

The community is an economical residential area with only four houses, each with only six floors.

In the Stargate Branch, this is the most basic residential building, there is no lower level. Families living in such communities are also low-income groups. They no longer have the official status of the Star Gate, but some of their ancestors did. They belong to the bottom class of society that was created by the reproduction of the "children of employees' families".

The Star Gate has no obligation to support the descendants of all employees from generation to generation, unless one of these descendants stands out and obtains a formal status in the Star Gate, or even as a "contract worker" can bring high income to the family, then there will naturally be a chance to get out of this world. class, entering the "middle class" or even the upper class.

Li Buer is a weirdo. Even though he is a poor man in the official circle of Stargate engineers, in fact he belongs to the upper class of rich people in any society. The consumption of a glass of Xinghui wine is enough to build many manors of his own. , villa, but he just likes to live in this lowest-level community where living expenses are calculated based on credit points.

Ling Qi drove a speedboat alone from the cruise ship to the community, and found Li Bu'er among a group of people pointing at him.

"Young man, a speedboat like yours is worth several million, right?" An old man pulled Ling Qi and asked.

He was numb to the huge cruise ship in the sky. Not only was it beyond his conceptual understanding, it was at least far away from his social class. Instead he had a passing interest in the value of a modified speedboat.

"Haha, almost...Teacher, here I come!" Ling Qi said perfunctorily to the old man and greeted Li Bu'er.

"Well, come up!" Li Bu'er had a serious look on his face, turned around and led the way to the elevator with his hands behind his back.

He lives on the top floor, about one hundred square meters in size. This area is large enough for someone who lives alone. Fortunately, the place is clean and tidy, unlike the slovenly style Ling Qi had when he first saw Li Bu'er. A full-featured housework robot only costs a few hundred thousand credits, which Li Buer can't afford.

Ling Qi took out two bottles of Xinghui wine from behind. They bought them at the Star Gate Market on the way. Although they came to drink for free, they didn't really bring anything with them.

Li Bu'er's eyes lit up: "Haha, good guy, you are so determined, and you will live up to my hard work!"

Your painstaking cultivation? Ling Qi was too lazy to roll his eyes. This guy's face could compete with the strength of Xiantian's hull!

"Teacher, do you know who is targeting you? If I can rent a spaceship stably in the future, I won't come in to get materials. You can help me deliver them outside the star gate!" Ling Qi put the wine on the table and asked casually. .

At this time, Li Bu'er had already taken out two glasses from the cabinet, and while skillfully opening and pouring the wine, he said, "It must be that bastard Maxton. Haha, he can't keep doing this, thinking he doesn't have to spend money!"

He took a sip by himself first, closed his eyes and enjoyed it for a moment, and then handed the other cup to Ling Qi: "I can help you transport it... Why don't you rent a spaceship? How many missions can be completed in a year with that broken cruise ship!"

Ling Qi felt uncomfortable being called a broken cruise ship for the first time. He smiled bitterly and said: "My cruise ship can continue to accelerate. Although it is still not as fast as a super spaceship, it can still be two or three times faster than a conventional spaceship." Ten times that.”

…

The branch office of the maintenance system is in Siam City. Ling Qi and Li Buer slowly finished a glass of wine and drove a speedboat to a skyscraper in the center of the city. The style of this building is very similar to the headquarters building in the virtual community, but the actual function is different.

Ling Qi's so-called "check-in" was not an official procedure at first. It was just a habit spontaneously formed by engineers. Later, it gradually became an unwritten rule. The branch leader would meet the newcomers in person to encourage them and play some videos on the Star Network. Invisible internal video data is used to increase the newcomer's sense of belonging and honor.

After parking the speedboat in the square outside the building, Ling Qi followed Li Buer into the building and went straight to the top via the elevator.

The top floor is usually reserved for leaders. Next to the elevator is a large reception room. Li Buer swiped the communicator on the access control and took Ling Qi directly inside.

"Dear Engineer Li Bu'er and Engineer Ling Qi, welcome back to Stargate Maintenance System Branch W8972. Your appointment has been arranged, please wait a moment."

The welcome message of the intelligent system sounded in the reception room. Ling Qi and Li Buer had just sat down on a sofa when a girl wearing waiter clothes walked in quickly from outside the door. She said with a smile and a respectful expression: "Two adults, do you need something to drink? I can provide it. Juice, coffee, organic tea drinks..."

Compared with the smart robot butler, the well-trained waiters here make people feel more friendly. She announced a series of drink names quickly and clearly, but Ling Qi asked: "Is there any Xinghui?"

He found that he also liked that kind of wine, and the high price was not unreasonable.

The girl was surprised. This was the first time she met someone who asked for a drink before being received by the Star Gate leader!

"Of course, but how about you invite the leader for a drink after the interview?" The girl replied immediately with a smile.

"Haha, a talented person who has completed the sixth-level tasks in the apprenticeship stage and passed the two assessments with full marks. It's time for me to have a drink with you. Xiaoyan, bring me a drink!" A cheerful voice came from outside the door. Then walked in a man who looked to be fifty years old, wearing a suit and leather tie, and with bright eyes.

The girl was surprised. After quickly looking at Ling Qi again, she went out to get a drink.

For the first time, Li Buer showed restraint in front of Ling Qi. He quickly stood up and greeted respectfully: "Hello, Director Zuo!"

Seeing him like this, Ling Qi also stood up and said hello.

"Haha, be casual!" Supervisor Zuo waved his hand and motioned for them to sit down.

"I am Zuo Yang, the director of the branch monitoring center. I have to say that you two, master and apprentice, surprised me. Especially this little guy like you!" He pointed at Ling Qi with admiration in his eyes.

The incident of Ling Qi completing the sixth-level mission as an apprentice was too big. Not to mention the branch, even in the entire Star Gate maintenance system, there were very few people who could not remember their names.

After receiving the registration request submitted by Li Bu'er, the staff asked which branch leader to receive the meeting as usual. Zuo Yang had long been paying attention to the process of Ling Qi completing the task, and immediately took over the interview.

He also specifically retrieved Ling Qi's information. In addition to the assessment results, he also saw online reports related to the obese woman who was checking Ling Qi's identity, and saw Ling Qi's bravery in piloting the Tomahawk to fight against thousands of armies.

But as a supervisor from the technical field, he would not remind people in the combat system to pay attention to Ling Qi. He also likes talents.
