Needless to say, Ratchet City is a bustling port city. The huge flow of people not only brings huge profits to the goblins, but also injects hustle and bustle and vitality into this harbor city. For many people living in the city, the moment night falls, the day just begins.

Ratchet City, worthy of its reputation as a "harbor that never sleeps", even at night, the streets are still full of people.

Instead of the busy daytime, most of the residents of the city or the merchants, travelers and adventurers who stay here for a short time will choose to go out of their homes at night and find some fun in the bustling street market under the colorful neon lights all over the city, relieve the fatigue and stress of the day, and enjoy the wonderful nightlife.

In the evening, most of these busy people choose to go out in groups to treat their taste buds to the delicacies sold at roadside stalls. Or choose to chat with a few companions or strangers you can chat with, and share your own stories and experiences and experiences.

It has to be said that adventurers and travelers are definitely the most exciting and exciting people living in Azeroth. Free and uninhibited, they are always able to come into contact with or experience such and such people or events. Countless stories of both thrilling and prosaic are narrated by travelers and adventurers, with a touch of exaggeration and vindication.

Here, not only those who want to inquire about all kinds of news can often reap the unexpected joy; Even the bards who go around singing other people's stories, whether good or sad, always have a good source of material and inspiration.

It may not be long before an artistically crafted saga is forthcoming, being recited and sung in the taverns of Azeroth. Who would have thought that these adventurers, who are drunk at the moment, may become the protagonists of a certain story and those legendary heroes who are admired and loved by people in the next moment?

In the noisy and lively city of Ratchet at night, Old Tang and Xiao Nizi, who had left the "Sailor's House" hotel, were sitting on the back of the Wild Horn at this moment, allowing the Wild Horn to wander aimlessly along the streets.

The bizarre combination of a minotaur and a harpy may be curious, but in Ratchet City, a city where adventurers of all races gather, it is not surprising and attracts onlookers. Not to mention the intelligent creatures of subspecies such as jackals and kobolds, the combination of alien lovers such as goblins and gnomes is also within the range of old Tang's acceptance from a visual point of view, but old Tang even saw a tree man dressed as an adventurer passing in front of the brute horn just now.

You must know that these guys who are rare to see on weekdays, most of them only live in the woodland and guard the forest, except for dealing with nature-loving creatures such as night elves and jungle dryads, and they will not leave the guarded forest half a step without a big event. It is definitely a 10,000-year-old dead house that does not go out of the door. And in the eyes of these children of nature, becoming an adventurer wandering the continent is definitely a deviant choice.

At this moment, the eagle-faced little Nizi has been looking at the surrounding vendors and stalls with curiosity and eagerness, and from time to time she guides the brute horn to step forward and take a closer look. And Old Tang took a leaflet and read it carefully. The leaflet was obtained from the innkeeper, and a line of large-character headlines written in both lingua franca and goblin language was at the top of the leaflet -- Ratchet City Locomotive Rally Instructions.

On the flyer, the articles and regulations regarding the qualifications and restrictions on locomotives were displayed, and Tang had been carefully reading them since he left the hotel.

"Ratchet City Locomotive Rally Instructions:

Note: The portrait rights and final interpretation rights related to this competition belong to the organizer of the Ratchet City Competition.

――――Hot Sand Enterprise Ratchet City Branch―――――"

The twenty-two rules and regulations were sprinkled with enthusiasm, which made it take a little time for the old Tang to read carefully. Ever since he heard the news about the "Ratchet City Locomotive Rally" from the innkeeper Bobby, Don has been interested in racing.

Anyway, in the next week, Old Tang and the eagle-cluffed little Nizi will have to wait for the "Girl's Love" ship to Hidden Treasure Bay to prepare supplies before they set sail. For having such a pastime and entertainment activity to pass the time, Don, who can't be idle, naturally wants to participate in it. Old Tang didn't forget that there was a mechanical roadfighter lying quietly in his magic backpack.

Speaking of which, as a traverser, Lao Tang has brought a lot of good things from later generations. For example, all kinds of armor and weapons collected by Lao Tang, such as various small props with magical effects, and various gems that have been processed by Lao Tang, a character who specializes in jewelry processing. Even the engineering motorcycles that are stored as mounts in the game come with them, instead of disappearing without a trace like the various creature mounts in the other pet slot mounts.

However, after entering the real world of Azeroth, these objects have undergone beneficial or debilitating changes in one way or another, and are no longer simply as effective as in the game.

For example, the various weapons collected by the old Tang, in addition to the fact that the casting materials have basically not changed, and the weapons themselves are still strong and sharp, most of the weapon enchantments with various magical effects and blessings have been weakened or even completely disappeared.

Let's take the orange suit in the hands of Old Tang, the legendary sword of the Thunder Fury* Wind Chaser's blessing in the later generations, for example. This wind elemental artifact, which was supposed to have the blessing of the energy essence of the Wind Elemental Prince Sunderland, and the great sword that could exert the power of endless thunder, was just an inferior fake in the hands of Old Tang.

When Old Tang held it in his hand to participate in the battle, he couldn't exert the terrifying power of calling thunder to scorch the enemy like the genuine one, but the weapon contained some thunder and lightning elemental energy that could temporarily paralyze the enemy.

If you insist on making an analogy, those Minotaur strong men wear equipment, and the weapons and armor mass-produced in imitation of Lao Tang's equipment can only be regarded as inferior knockoffs, so the weapons and armor that Lao Tang brought with him with the crossing can only be regarded as high-imitation parallel goods at best, and there is no genuine power at all. It's just that it can be called "nothing in form, not in God".

Don's mechanical roadrage has a similar problem. Although this handsome motorcycle is finely made and made of fine materials, Old Tang can't drive it at all. As for the reason, it is very simple, it is not that Don can't drive, or that the parts of the motorcycle are damaged and cannot be repaired, but simply because the motorcycle has no power plant, but there is no energy to start it.

But it's normal to think about it, when does the motorcycle in the game need to change the energy? No simple maintenance is required. Now in the real world, it is natural that unexpected problems will arise, and the guide zhì cannot be activated.

Old Tang had also asked the goblin merchant who was traveling in the bleak land and was accidentally discovered by Old Tang to help check this motorcycle. The conclusions that can be drawn make Old Tang a little annoyed. According to the goblin merchant, this mechanical road rage is definitely not driven by oil alone, and needs to be modified to get on the road. However, due to the complexity of the process of the mechanical road rage, I am afraid that only those engineering masters above the grandmaster level can be sure to repair and modify it and let it regain its "life".

Anyone with the slightest knowledge of the words goblins and gnomes will immediately think of the words goblins and gnomes in Azeroth, who knows the most about the two crafts of mechanics and engineering. As two races full of whimsical ideas and making invention commonplace, they have their own unique and deep understanding of the disciplines of engineering and mechanical power.

And most of the existing grandmaster-level engineering masters are mostly from these two races, or simply from the masters of these two races. And in Ratchet City, such a neutral city established and controlled by goblins, such an important seaport connecting Kalimdor and the Eastern Kingdom on both sides of the Endless Sea, it is natural that there is no good mechanic and engineering grandmaster-level master. But if you want to find someone who is willing to help, it is indeed difficult.

"Ah, we goblins are absolute engineering geniuses! If you want to talk about the engineering masters in Ratchet City, there are countless of them! However, most of them have their own teams, and they are not going to repair or modify the cars for other competitors at this juncture near the time of the Rally! At this time, ask them for help, unless you offer a sky-high price that makes Sargeras also excited, otherwise it will be absolutely useless! ”

This is the answer that Old Tang got when he asked the innkeeper about the news of the engineering master, which was really frustrating. Come to think of it, a well-known engineering master will naturally be in the limelight in this kind of competition, how can he not have his own supported drivers and teams? Thinking of this, Old Tang was even thinking about whether to participate in this motorcycle rally. Is it to be a racing driver and feel the speed and passion? Or do you want to be an audience member and watch this wonderful performance?

But just when Old Tang was a little hesitant at that time, the innkeeper Old Bobbi showed a cunning and shrewd expression and said:

"But you're lucky enough to meet me, 'kind and helpful' old Bobby! As an old guy who has lived in Ratchet City for most of my life, I am very familiar with every plant and tree here. As for all the turmoil that happened, it couldn't escape the eyes of my old Bobby! ”

"Hehe, I happen to know the news of two engineering masters who don't have a team yet, how about it? I'll tell you their address for a gold coin! It's just a gold coin! If you win the championship, you will be rewarded with 2,000 gold coins! If you don't hurry up, someone else may come to the door! ”

Under the constant temptation of the old goblin, the old Tang finally paid the price of one gold coin to obtain the addresses of two legendary engineering masters, and set off to ask for help. Whether or not he can win the game, just having the opportunity to repair and modify his mechanical road fighter is enough to make Old Don happy.

Now, Lao Tang, who finally finished reading the instructions for participating in the Ratchet City Locomotive Rally, pulled the reins of the wild horn, and moved towards the addresses of the two engineering masters he inquired about in the obviously regretful expression of the eagle man Xiao Nizi. I kept thinking about the innkeeper's introduction to the two of them.

"Aha, Bigg Giant, an acute sub-bearded dwarf, Vlad Alloy Drill, a goblin obsessed with mecha research. The two of them lived in a small house on the edge of the dock. There is a huge mechanical device at the doorway of the house that you will see as soon as you get to the neighborhood. ”

"Well, although the concept of the two of them is a bit ahead of their time, yes, it's ahead of their time, but the engineering technology is really good. It's pretty trustworthy. This one gold coin is definitely not a wrongful spending. ”

"Also, I advise you, don't touch anything in their room, otherwise there may be an unexpected ending~! After all, engineering is sometimes equivalent to dangerous goods~! In short, watch out for good luck! ”

When you hear "Good luck!" At the time of this sentence, Old Tang could already imagine what kind of characters he was going to visit.

This visit may be a deep memory for Old Tang.
