Star Rank Hunter

Chapter 224 Entering the City

Thanks to Lie Huoying, old man Chang's repair shop can now earn more than 10,000 yuan a day, and one day the peak reached 30,000 yuan.

Thirty thousand Lansa coins are nothing to many people in the city, but in this area it is a sky-high price. The old man Chang was so excited that he couldn't sleep for several nights. If this continues, Chang Xiaowu's medical expenses will be enough Got it all together.

Seven days later, after dinner, the old man Chang settled Xilin and Biller's wages for the past few days after dinner. Xilin's salary was agreed a long time ago, while Biller's salary was the final income calculated according to the previously mentioned performance and so on.

In this way, Xilin has 50,000 yuan, Bile has 20,000 yuan, and old man Chang himself has nearly 100,000 yuan. Originally, old man Chang wanted to share more with them, but Xilin and Bile refused. The old man Chang didn't say much about the five treatments, but the old man took care of the food and so on.

While licking its paws, the gray cat was thinking about when Xilin would be able to buy some fish crackers when he went to the city, it already missed it quite a bit.

"By the way, I don't see enough parts today. There are a few important parts that are needed for the maintenance of several big customers' speeding cars. I checked, and there don't seem to be these types in our area. I guess I have to go to the city. ’” Xilin said.

The gray cat's ears stood up straight, and it looked at Xilin with bright eyes.

The old man Chang nodded, and directly took 20,000 yuan to Xilin, but Xilin didn't refuse. According to the old man Chang's temperament, he couldn't refuse the money. After receiving the money, he asked what else he needed to buy. The old man Chang thought about it and listed them one by one, but the most important thing is to ask Xilin to help pay attention to the big hospitals in the city. Comprehensive treatment requires at least 100,000 Lansa coins. This is not counting the rehabilitation treatment later, but I don’t know what the current market is.

"Okay, I'll go ask."

Xilin recently checked Chang Xiaowu's physical condition. After the buffer drug treatment, it is indeed much better. At least the success rate of the comprehensive treatment project will be much higher. In addition, Chang Xiaowu's mentality is quite good these days, and the number of laughs is increasing day by day, which is a good sign.

"Then I'll be the one to take the lead tomorrow!" Biller was eager to try, and patted Xilin's shoulder: "With me here, you can go without worry!"

Xilin: "..." Why does this sound so awkward?

Knowing that Xilin was going to the city, Chang Xiaoqi didn't fall asleep at night, and was much more excited than Chang Xiaoba last time, making Chang Xiaoliu and Chang Xiaoba jealous.

Going to the city, they seem to have never been to the city since they grew up.

In the early morning of the next day, Xilin carried Chang Xiaoqi and boarded the passenger flying car to the city. After all, the old Chang's family's dilapidated flying car was not easy to fly into the city.

Passenger speed cars are also overcrowded recently, many more cars have been opened, and the price has also gone up and down, but so far, every car is full, and those who move slowly have no seats at all. If it used to be able to squeeze a little more people, as long as there is a little space, people can be stuffed in, but now the entrance to the city is strictly checked, and repeated orders are not allowed to be overloaded. If an overloaded car is found, it is not just a matter of fines. Detain the speeding car directly and give the driver a sentence. So now everyone is more peaceful.

Many people sitting on the passenger speed car went to the city to try their luck. When Xilin was in the maintenance shop, he could often hear the waiting car owners talking about the recent situation in the city. What kind of favor has been won, etc., what is said is more exciting to the listeners.

Regardless of whether those are true or not, more and more people are going to the city to try their luck anyway. Some people who were still lingering and watching before can't sit still after hearing those rumors. They pack up their things and run to the city. The owner of the repair shop with a better business couldn't rest easy, and rushed to the city after closing the shop. No matter how good the business is, isn't it just a lower-class commoner? I have been guarding a storefront for several generations in this small poor place all my life? If you can win the favor of the nobles, if you can get a chance, then who cares about this small storefront? …

So old man Chang's shop has reaped a lot, and he bought parts and other materials in large quantities several times at very low prices. Earn a lot of old man Chang.

Even in the car, the topics that the passengers talked about were closely related to those few successful cases. When they talked about it, it was as if they were there at the time. Yearn for.

Chang Xiaoqi is a master who can't sit still. After getting in the car, he just lays on the window and looks at the scenery outside the car. Even the boring natural scenery can be seen with great interest.

"Look, look! That's the star tower!" A passenger shouted excitedly.

"Really..."

"Let me see! Let me see!"

For a while, the passengers in the car stopped talking about the previous topic, and all their faces were stuck to the window and looked out. There are images on the display screen, but after all, they are not seen with their own eyes. Only seeing them in person is something worth showing off.

The Star Tower is the tallest tower on the planet. It is a landmark building in the city. When you see the Star Tower, it means that the city is not far away.

Seeing that Chang Xiaoqi's face was almost squeezed into a big pie, Xilin smiled and rubbed Chang Xiaoqi's head, "What's the hurry, I'll see it clearly later."

"Yeah!" Although Chang Xiaoqi responded, but still squeezed his face to look out of the window, "It would be great if Xiao Liu Xiao Ba and Fifth Brother could see it."

"It's okay, let's come together next time."

"Really?!"

"real."

"Okay!" Chang Xiaoqi smiled brightly, and the guilt and regret just now were swept away.

After entering the city, Chang Xiaoba was very quiet, this is what the old man Chang told them, don't talk nonsense in the city. Although he remained silent, those eyes could not be idle, looking around.

The passenger flying car is parked in a parking lot on the edge of the city. This parking lot was set up for the flying cars coming here from the civilian area. As far as the eye can see, there are people with similar clothes, but they can't tell the difference here.

There are also private estates of rich families or large factories outside the city, but those people and factories have specific parking lots in the city, and the conditions are much more luxurious, not as crowded and outdated as here.

Moreover, some of the small shops around the parking lot are almost not completely urban residents, just like the client introduced by Bender, who only lives on the edge of the city, but even so, they still feel that compared to the place in the civilian area, They have absolute superiority.

As for the complete city people, they have always looked down on the people here. If they pass by, they will basically take a detour. They feel that this place is full of filth and will lower their status.

There are a lot of people at the station, especially at the exit. People are all coming in and out.

Xilin hugged Chang Xiaoqi and squeezed out of the parking lot. There were no taxis in the station, and there were very few taxis around here. They avoided it as if there was a plague here. More and more taxis.

These people who co-authored it were not against money, it was just a matter of face, for fear that others would say that they had something to do with the people here. Before coming here, Xilin had inquired about things here. It is not difficult to obtain an identity certificate in a civilian area. Xilin spent some money to get a fake temporary identity certificate. Anyway, when you are in the city, basically no identity certificate The treatment of people is similar to that of people in civilian areas. Nor does it scrutinize a person with civilian status.

After verifying his identity, Xilin walked out of the station with Chang Xiaoqi in his arms, walked a little far along the route he found out, turned a corner and saw a taxi parked there.

Hired a taxi, Xilin reported a place.

"Three hundred." The driver said without looking back. …

Three hundred... No wonder people in the civilian areas didn't dare to go to the city before, the taxis here can't afford it.

After Xilin paid the money, the driver slowly started the speeding car with an expression of reluctance.

The current traffic control in the city is very strict, so it takes about an hour to reach the place Xilin mentioned. This hour is not long or short, maybe the driver was bored, so he made a topic to chat with Xilin, although he started it, but his tone was not very good, there was always a sense of superiority .

"Are you also here to try your luck?" the driver asked, with a hint of sarcasm in his voice.

"That's not true. I'm going to buy some parts. The parts in the store are urgent." Xilin said with a smile as if he didn't hear the driver's tone.

The driver was familiar with him, and when he heard Xilin's words, he said "Oh" clearly: "It's considered that you are self-aware and didn't get involved in this matter, how could the nobles choose people from the civilian areas? It's ridiculous! "

Xilin didn't make a sound, and the driver spoke earnestly about some delusional incidents of civilians outside the city after they entered the city. Xilin just listened with a smile, and responded from time to time, without expressing his opinion. The driver probably didn't want to hear it either. Xilin's views speak for themselves.

The flying car finally arrived at the place that Xilin said. This is a parts market. For the high-end residents of the city, this is a busy city, and it doesn’t take long. They don't go back to take care of it.

As for people whose living standards are not high, many of the important parts they need will still be bought by themselves, after all, they are cheaper. As for those who have no money in hand, sometimes they will secretly go to civilian areas for repairs.

Replacing the same parts in the city is more than three times more expensive than repairing a street in a civilian area. Perhaps the quality of repairs in the city is indeed guaranteed, but many people with low incomes prefer cheap repairs.

When we came to the spare parts market, it was much more lively than the spare parts street in the civilian area. Just standing outside and taking a glance, Xilin could see a lot of high-end parts, and the storefronts were also much more luxurious. As for the price tag, it was absolutely high.

Xilin mainly looks at second-hand parts. Customers may not be willing to use first-hand parts in Old Chang's shop.

Watching Xilin walk towards the second-hand parts store, some people around cast disdainful glances at him.

"At first glance, it looks like a kid from a civilian area. If you don't have money, you still buy parts?"

"He just bought second-hand parts alone."

"Hey, what are you doing, let's talk about the last time we went to the casino..."

The voices of those people were not prominent in this noisy downtown, but Xilin could still hear them clearly, and ignored what those people said.

Walking into a second-hand parts store, if you say that this store is not conspicuous among many stores, but if you insist that there is something special, Xilin just prefers the order in which the owner of this store arranges the parts. Many merchants who sell parts do not It is not necessary to be familiar with the specific usage of these parts. The displayed parts are arranged according to personal preferences, how to look good and how to arrange them.

But the order of the parts displayed by the owner of this shop is different. At first glance, a layman will think that the shop owner's aesthetic point of view is not good, and the order of the parts displayed is not good. But those who are familiar with maintenance will find that these parts are arranged in the order of assembly, which also shows that the owner is really good at maintenance.

When Xilin walked in, the shop owner was immersed in drawing something, and he didn't pay much attention to the customers who came, only two rough-looking service robots were dealing with customers. The price of the parts is marked, no bargaining is accepted. …

There are not many customers in the store. Compared with other stores, the popularity of this second-hand parts store is a little bit colder, but the owner doesn’t seem to care. He lays on the table and paints, not using electronic boards. Instead, they used paper, sometimes frowning and sometimes smiling. Several customers were planning to chat with the shopkeeper, but seeing the shopkeeper like this, they gave up their thoughts and left directly.

The shop owner is a middle-aged man, a little rich, and he doesn't seem to care about the customer's departure at all, and does his own thing.

Before, Xilin just took a look at the arrangement of parts from the outside, but now he walked in and saw that some miniature parts have a specific order, which shows that the shop owner is a bit paranoid about the arrangement of parts.

Xilin put Chang Xiaowu down and looked at the prices of several parts he needed. They were not bad, at least not as expensive as the previous ones. Although the previous ones were slightly more expensive, they were negotiable. Here is It's just a final price, and there are several models whose prices are similar to the initial prices of several others. No wonder the popularity here is not high.

While Xilin was inspecting the display of parts, several people left the store, and finally Xilin was the only customer left. The shop was much quieter again. Even a service robot came to serve, but they did not introduce the function of each part to Xilin.

After looking around, Xilin said to the service robot: "I want the No. 3 blade of the inner box rotator, the primary actuator of the j-vii model, and the PV5 metal contact wire..."

Xilin talked about the parts he needed, and one of the robots began to pick up the parts.

But just when Xilin mentioned the parts he needed, the shopkeeper, who was doing his own thing, raised his head suddenly, his eyes flashed, he laughed, put down his pen, and said, "You are an expert! "

The fat shopkeeper turned to the robot who was picking up the goods and said, "20% off."

Xilin looked at the fat shopkeeper in surprise, he was quite an interesting person.

The fat shopkeeper came over to look at Xilin and Chang Xiaoqi, who was standing aside obediently and looked at the two service robots curiously, took out a bag of unopened candy from his pocket and handed it to Chang Xiaoqi, but Chang Xiaoqi swallowed it. He swallowed his saliva and didn't pick it up, but looked at Xilin.

"Then, this is the kindness of the owner." Xilin said.

Chang Xiaoqi then took the bag of candy and said politely, "Thank you uncle!"

"Hey, no thanks," the fat shopkeeper rubbed his fat belly, "I just have a habit, I like to eat sugar when I think about things, it gives my brain more energy to think problem, so every time I draw a picture, I put a bag of candies in my pocket, hehe, that’s how I grew up holding my stomach.”

Don't look at the fat shopkeeper's indifference to people before, once you look at it, you can see that he is actually a lively person.

Seeing the outer packaging of that bag of candies, Xilin didn't know cheap ones, maybe the price of this bag of candies could be worth a good second-hand part. I can't see that the owner is worth a bit.

The fat shopkeeper chatted with Xilin about these parts. The fat shopkeeper has a good attitude towards people who know how to do it. He didn't show any contempt for Xilin's frank statement that he came from a civilian area outside the city, but there were many differences.

"I know that there are indeed some talented people in the maintenance street outside the city. My old man has a saying: Geniuses are buried among the people."

Xilin smiled and said nothing.

The fat shop owner chatted with Xilin about some speeding car maintenance, but he said in a blink of an eye: "Some models I made with great difficulty a few days ago were smashed, otherwise I can show you, maybe you can give it to me." I have a glimmer of inspiration. Inspiration is a thing of temper sometimes, and it doesn't come out at critical times!"

Hearing the fat shopkeeper's complaints, Xilin felt that this fat shopkeeper was quite special, he loved flying cars, or rather, he loved designing flying cars, but his family looked down on his hobby, so why not send everyone over to make trouble for him? The easy-to-make models were destroyed, and the shop could only be kept when the fat shopkeeper threatened his life.

After the robot sorted out the parts and handed them to Xilin, Xilin said goodbye and left. He still had something to do. The fat shopkeeper asked Xilin to come and have a look next time he was in town, and maybe next time he could see his new flying car model.

After Xilin left, he went to a large hospital in the center of the remote city to find out the situation.

And there were two people standing in another building not far from the big hospital, they were the two that the heads of the planetary government had treated respectfully before.

"That kid?"

"Yes, now His Royal Highness is experiencing life at his house."

"Hey, it seems that His Royal Highness is going to experience a life of poverty this time. It's rare for the Fire Eagle royal family to have such a freak who can afford high-quality goods and swallow chaff."

"Poverty life? That's not necessarily true. As far as I know, our arrival caused commotion in the civilian area this time, and the business of the maintenance shop is booming. It is estimated that the poor and cold meat will not be able to feel it." .”

"When will the staff His Royal Highness mentioned be transferred?"

"Just a few days."
