Chapter 68 Discount Requirements
The girl definitely noticed the eyes of everyone looking at her. She had no special reaction, two metal prosthetic limbs supported the counter, and repeated what she just said.
"What do you want?" She raised her eyes, and there was no enthusiasm in her voice.
"The thermal conductivity controller of the gray knight kn09 is broken, will it be repaired?" Yu Le glanced at the blade embedded in the girl's prosthetic limb, and her voice was serious. "If you can repair it, ask for a price."
"I know that model, and the price depends on the degree of damage." The girl's voice was a little small, as if she was talking to herself. Her eyes quickly swept across the can of peaches in Tang Yibu's hand, and looked away without leaving a trace.
"The car is outside." Yu Le poked his thumb behind him, "We'll go with you."
The young shopkeeper made a low hum, and looked at Ruan Xian and Tang Yibu who were closer to him. She didn't react to Tang Yibu's golden eyes, she just squatted down, hung the heavy tool bag around her waist, and walked out from behind the counter.
Only then did Ruan Xian realize that the girl's right leg was also a metal prosthesis similar to her arm. It was more rugged in shape, with a dull gleam of metal attached to the knees.
"Mom, I've warmed up the buns, in the kitchen." She nodded to the woman who was knitting. "I'll come to see the store for this order, you can go and rest for a while."
The woman who was still unresponsive just now nodded, and the smile on her face widened. She carefully placed the fabric in her hand, stood up slowly, and walked to the back of the store.
Yu Le took a breath from between his teeth.
The girl obviously had no intention of explaining the situation, she snapped the half-mask gas mask neatly, and put on goggles for herself. She was really not tall, and the armored off-road vehicle was too large. After she lifted the front hood, the girl took a ponytail from the store and stood on it, which was barely enough to reach the deepest parts.
"It's so bad that it can't be repaired." Her metal fingers were slender and sharp, like a pair of tweezers, holding the pieces firmly on their fingertips. "I can make this alloy and get a new one. By the way, there is also a problem with the stabilizer shaft in your car. There are parts that were not originally added to it, and it also contained weak corrosive liquid. The stabilizer shaft was worn out by this modification. The collision cracked it a little bit."
The girl turned her head and looked at Yu Le, who was facing a formidable enemy. "It has a lifespan of at most half a year, should it be repaired?"
"It's still worth asking." Seeing that the car had fallen so hard, Yu Le's tone was a little bad. "Can this be fixed"
"I don't know if you have the confidence to live for half a year." The girl's voice was still hoarse, and it looked a little gloomy in the poisonous smog.
""
"It's fine if you want to practice. I'll open the material list. No precious metals or certificates are accepted here." The girl jumped off the maza, and the metal prosthesis did not make any sound.
It's Yule's business to fix the car. Ruan Xian remained silent, taking the opportunity to observe the surroundings.
The alley is full of scrap machinery with exposed electrical wiring and internal parts, and many have rust marks. The underground city has the difference between day and night, and the lights during the day should be brighter. But in this Xia Street, which is full of prostitutes, people don't pay much attention to the ambiguous screams and moans coming from the fork of the alley a few steps away from them, mixed with a few unpleasant scolding and coughing.
Tang Yibu plucked out his ears expressionlessly, Yu Le coughed a little awkwardly. The girl didn't move, as if she didn't hear anything.
"Is there any other request?" She asked in a low voice when she saw Yu Le didn't say anything. "It's cheaper to do more. Weapon repair and modification, or"
"There's nothing else, I have to look at the material list first. There's nothing to change about the weapons, at most check the whole car. What's the name of the little sister?" Yu Le pressed his temples.
"Ji Xiaoman." The girl put Maza under her arm. Even if the business is seven or eight, she still doesn't sound enthusiastic.
"Miss Ji, how long will it take to fix it?" Ruan Xian softened his voice as everyone entered the store.
Ji Xiaoman was standing on tiptoe and stuffed the horses on the shelf.
"I still have a few orders in my hand, within the next half month." She looked at Ruan Xian's eyes like a pool of stagnant water. The girl is quite young, but Yu Le is a little more energetic than her. Ruan Xian saw a familiar emotion in her eyes, and he didn't like it very much.
"Half a month" Yu Le shouted.
"Well." Ji Xiaoman returned to the counter and began to write the list. "I'm the fastest mechanic here. If you're not satisfied, you can ask other mechanics. There are no high-precision machine tools in the factory. Under normal circumstances, manual parts will take at least one and a half months."
"Okay." Yu Le muttered to Ruan Xian's side. "Xiao Ruan, the place I'm going to take you to is quite far. It's really dangerous without a car. Look at this half month."
"We can protect you." Before Ruan Xian could speak, Tang Yibu responded positively.
Yu Le ignored him, "Xiao Ruan, look at our arms, they are very heavy. It's really hard to pull without a car."
"I can carry it on my back." Tang Yibu raised a hand and almost jumped up.
"Can't you understand people's language? I fucking want to fix the car and then take you two." Yu Le gritted his teeth, "Fuck, what are you laughing at with the surname Ruan. The environment in this shabby place is terrible, and I will take extra risks for you two. There are no doors."
"I have no problem with reducing risks." Ruan Xian raised his face and looked away from Tang Yibu, who was a little lost. "But half a month is indeed a bit long, if there is another way"
"Yes." Ji Xiaoman stopped writing and raised her head. "Except for what's on this list. Add the electronic brain-related stuff, minus five days. Do something for me, minus five days. I can give you the highest priority."
"I haven't seen a few androids before the fucking apocalypse, where can I get you something related to the electronic brain?" Yu Le wiped his face.
"I have." Ruan Xian was very straightforward, Tang Yibu and Yu Le looked at him at the same time.
Ruan Xian reached into his clothes, took out a gray disc with metallic luster from his underwear pocket, and placed it on the table. Ji Xiaoman frowned, and Tang Yibu let out an "ah".
"You didn't eat it at the time," he said with a little surprise.
"I won't touch medicines that don't understand the principle." Ruan Xian's fingers were still pressed on the pills. "We came out of the 1036 petri dish, Miss Ji. The refuge over there can make medicines that destroy the electronic brain of the bionic human. I don't know if it meets your requirements."
Ji Xiaoman lowered his eyes and stared at the pill for a while. "principle"
"I still don't know, I'm not that material." Ruan Xian smiled, "But Yipo knows better. Come on, Yipo, tell her."
Tang Yibu took a deep look at Ruan Xian, "It is essentially a nano-robot polymer, which can be quickly absorbed by the human body and block the transmission of specific signals from the electronic brain. Normal people will be fine if they eat it, and the effect of changing to a bionic person is probably equivalent to blocking. The autonomous thinking part, depriving them of higher-order thinking."
He took two steps in Ruan Xian's direction, "Existing s-type products basically do not exist, and the resilience of general biomimetic organisms is very poor. It is difficult to restore the places damaged by drugs. In most cases, its effect is permanent."
"In other words, it's poison." Ji Xiaoman simply concluded.
"you can say it this way."
"It can be changed." She hesitated for a moment, "but I have to get some to test the effect."
"The amount of the tablet is a bit too large, and scraping it off a little won't affect the effect." Tang Yibu added quickly.
Ji Xiaoman nodded silently, and handed the written list to Yu Le. Ruan Xian took a little crumb from the tablet, left it on the counter, put it back in his pocket, and folded his arms.
Tang Yibu came to Ruan Xian's side and stared deeply at Ruan Xian's face.
"I thought you had changed Chi Lei's medicine or done other things." After moving a few steps away from the counter, Ruan Xian kept his voice extremely low, "I didn't expect you to actually let me take it. down."
"It won't work for you, I'm 100% sure." Tang Yibu lowered his head, "Are you angry?"
Ruan Xian glanced at the aggrieved Baba's face, and suddenly lost his strength, "Give me the can, this will be written off."
Tang Yibu hurriedly stuffed the can into Ruan Xian's hand, Ruan Xian sighed and poured a piece into his mouth casually. As a result, before he could swallow it, Yu Le let out a loud howl, and Ruan Xian almost choked himself.
"This is all retribution." Yu Le's hand trembled a little while holding the list, "I have been robbing people for several years, and finally caught up with being robbed. This is a robbery, little sister, just repair a part, this family needs to go to a house. Most."
"Either touch some mud and rub it with your hands." When it comes to his area of expertise, Ji Xiaoman's voice is cold and hard. "What I've repaired will not break for at least ten years, even if you drop it again. Guns and ammunition can be obtained from others, and a sturdy car is as valuable as a fort, and the price is fine."
She put away the scraps on the table and glanced at Ruan Xian, who was calm.
"If you guys help me with errands, I'll add some discounts on top of the five-day rush." She raised her voice slightly, "Is that okay?"
"Let's talk, remember to check the whole car for me." Yu Le waved weakly, "Without the fortune, my life is almost gone. I can survive even alone."
"If I really go, I'll go with you." Ji Xiaoman didn't make eye contact with them. "Xiajie's core gang, the boss is Qian Yigeng. He has what I want, whether it's stealing or robbing, I must get it."
"Listen, my sister, the brothers are all from other places." Yu Le snorted a few times, "I'm the well-informed group in Ruinhai, and I've never heard of Qian Yigeng. You said that we are here. You don't say what you want with a black eye, aren't we here to deliver food to people?"
"It's me, not us." Tang Yibu corrected seriously, "Mr. Ruan and I will not go."
"your fuck"
"I want the old-fashioned electronic brain's thinking access needle." Ji Xiaoman raised his head and interrupted Yu Le directly. "Qian Yigeng hid it well, I've wanted it for a long time."
"You're still in the business of old-fashioned electronic brains." Yu Le looked at the dilapidated storefront without concealing the suspicion in his voice.
"I have my own use." Ji Xiaoman shook his head, "You are right, I must say in advance that Qian Yigeng has really found a lot of people to guard it, as if it were the foundation of life, I don't know the specifics. If I can figure it out, I don't need to ask people like you."
She sighed softly, rubbing her mutilated arm.
"I only know that it is not something that can be copied casually. Like a good old-fashioned electronic brain, no one in the entire underground United City can make it. He often shows off around, saying that he personally grabbed it from Ruan Xian."
"Where is this Qian Yigeng?" Tang Yibu continued naturally, "We need to formulate an action plan."
Yule ""
"The others are on Xia Street." Ji Xiaoman finally showed a little joy. "You promised it"
"Do not."
This time it was Ruan Xian who denied it.
"Listening to the name, this thing seems quite interesting." He held the can in one hand and clenched his fist in the other, still smiling. "Tell me its specific function, your purpose, and we'll talk about the details."
"This kind of thing was only available in the main bionic factory before, and its function is very simple."
Ji Xiaoman lowered his head again and began to play with the odd tools on the counter.
"It can connect to an old-fashioned electronic brain and completely edit all memory and personality data. Even if it was stolen from Ruan Xian, no one thinks Qian Yigeng is bragging. If it is used well, it can be regarded as a strategic weapon. One of them, ordinary arms and machinery are incomparable."
"It can make anyone."
