Star Ocean: Starting from the Abandoned Mining Space Station

Lao Wu took Chen Ming to an ordinary-looking bar in the core city of the space station.

The feeling here for Chen Ming is similar to the bar atmosphere in his previous life.

Chen Ming used to come here with his colleagues when he was working, but he never liked it, and it's the same now.

However, Chen Mingming didn't show it on his face and continued to follow Lao Wu into the bar and to the counter.

Old Wu chatted with the bartender very familiarly, ordered a glass of wine, handed the menu next to Chen Ming and said, "I'm treating you, you can drink whatever you want."

"So generous? But I'm not interested in wine, just drink it."

Chen Ming did not accept Lao Wu's kindness, and he had no plans to take off his helmet yet.

After all, the Iron Ore doesn't even have a hyperspace channel system installed. If his identity is discovered, he may not be able to escape even if he wants to.

Lao Wu shrugged and did not force Chen Ming to drink. He quickly drank several glasses of wine, and his face gradually turned red.

Chen Ming took advantage of Old Wu before he was completely drunk and asked directly: "Old Wu, do you know how to get the identification code of the spacecraft?"

"Identification code? It's easy. You can find someone at the repair shop to help you change it. It only costs a little money. It's quite cheap."

Chen Ming frowned when he heard Lao Wu's very casual answer and asked, "Won't this be found out?"

"No, we cooperate with a shipyard. They give us a batch of usable identification codes in advance. We just paste them directly according to the style, and then import the identity of the ship owner. No one will come to check carefully unless we do something wrong."

"It's that simple?"

"It's that simple, how complicated do you want it to be?"

"All right."

Chen Ming thought that the identification code, which had a very important identity and spacecraft identification function, would be as difficult to obtain as the official identification code, but it turned out to be so random.

He silently wrote down the process Lao Wu said, and continued: "One more thing, do you know what the use of this thing is?"

Chen Ming said as he took out the terminal and pulled up a photo on it.

Photo of a mechanical family chip.

Chen Ming didn't mention this thing when he was selling goods twice before, but kept it on him, mainly because he wanted to check if there was any information in this regard.

If you can extract the data inside the chip, it will definitely benefit you much more than selling it directly.

Unfortunately, Chen Ming couldn't find any useful information in the past two days, so he simply asked Lao Wu now.

After taking a few glances, Old Wu recognized what this thing was and said, "I remember that this thing seems to have no use."

"The thinking logic of mechanical life and human beings is different. Their chips cannot be deciphered yet. Even if you get the chip, it is of little value. Only Yuhui may want it."

Lao Wu suddenly smiled and said, "Just kidding, but the material itself is pretty good. You should be able to make a small profit by taking it apart and selling it."

Chen Ming shook his head with regret, put away the terminal and said, "Okay, let's do that."

Anyway, it is impossible to sell this chip. I am not short of the materials on the chip for the time being, nor am I short of the money to sell the materials.

Leave it alone for now, maybe it will be useful someday in the future.

In fact, Chen Ming originally wanted to ask about the price of the depreciated spaceship.

However, they are actually available at the maintenance shop. Chen Ming had already looked at them in the afternoon, so there was no need to ask now.

So Chen Ming stood up and said, "How much does your drink cost? I'll pay for it for you."

Old Wu said with some surprise: "So good?"

"Just think it's the same as before. You have to pay for people to do things. Or if you also have questions to ask me, we can be even."

Chen Ming stopped paying and looked at Lao Wu.

He knew very well that Old Wu must have something to tell him.

I have only known Lao Wu for a long time, and he just cheated me, but then he turned around and said he was treating me, which was completely unlike his style.

Chen Ming was certain that it was not because of Lao Wu's conscience, but because he had some other purpose.

Thinking about the verbal agreement he had just made with the factory director, it was clear that Lao Wu's current performance was related to the factory director.

Lao Wu drank the remaining wine in the glass in one gulp, wiped his mouth and said, "Hey, it's true. Let's go out and chat."

Lao Wu paid for the drinks himself and took Chen Ming to an alley outside the bar.

It's rare that he found this dark corner in a place like the space station where light stays on 24 hours a day.

Old Wu looked at both sides of the alley, and after confirming that no one was there, he said to Chen Ming: "The factory director needs me to confirm your situation and find out why you came to the space station."

"?"

Chen Ming didn't expect Old Wu to be so direct, so he asked: "You just asked me directly, are you really not afraid that I will talk nonsense?"

Old Wu showed a smile that Chen Ming had seen several times and said, "Isn't this a consensual deal?"

"You ask me, I ask you, if everyone tells the truth, everyone will be happy, and we will have the opportunity to work together in the future. Isn't it great?"

Chen Ming was silent for a while and said, "Indeed."

Telling the truth is good for everyone. The factory director can feel at ease, and Chen Ming can gain the initial trust of Lao Wu and the factory director.

And for Chen Ming, if he doesn't care about his origins and only cares about his purpose, then he actually has nothing to hide.

Chen Ming organized his words and said: "What I want to do now is to make money to buy a new spaceship, and then go to the prosperous star field."

Old Wu waited for a while and found that Chen Ming had no intention of continuing, so he asked, "No more?"

"No, I haven't figured out what to do next. I plan to stay on the space station for a year or two and leave when I make money."

Old Wu looked at Chen Ming with some disbelief and said, "How much money can you make for a spaceship in one or two years? Even if you already have one on hand, it won't be easy."

"This is my business. I have already thought about the idea of ​​making money before, I just have to experiment."

Old Wu heard the implication in Chen Ming's words and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

Chen Ming immediately said: "I just need to collect some obsolete weapons from the repair shop. Employees should have internal prices, right?"

"Yes, there are, but why do you want these things that can only be melted?"

"Renovation."

Old Wu looked at Chen Ming with some confusion.

He knew Chen Ming's skills, and he also knew that someone with such skills must know something about the weapons.

You should be aware of the visible difference between second-hand refurbished goods and first-hand original factory goods. How can you make money from something that cannot be sold?

Chen Ming naturally wouldn't bother to explain more. He knew the weapons he had repaired best, and he couldn't tell whether they were second-hand or not.

This is where the money can be made.

Anyway, he is just mentioning it now to let Old Wu have an impression. If he really wants to make money, he will have to discuss this matter with the factory director.

Old Wu also saw that Chen Ming didn't want to say anything more, and now he knew enough to go back and make a business trip.

He suddenly smiled again and said, "Okay, that's it, I have to report."

"Another little tidbit for you, Yuhui may attack the space station in the next few days. If possible, it's best to live in the city."

"And tomorrow's recruitment matters happen to have to be done in the city. You can come directly here tomorrow morning and I will take you there."

"OK."

Chen Ming agreed and quickly left the alley.

But Lao Wu was still leaning against the wall of the alley.

After Chen Ming's figure completely disappeared from sight, he took out the terminal and contacted the factory director.

I always feel that a 4k chapter is more comfortable
