Chapter 173: The Red Gate Shop at the Venue
Tickets to the mechanical exchange extravaganza are cheap, 5 silver coins.
Of course, this is for mechanics, and others buy tickets for 5 gold coins, which is ridiculously expensive.
The entrance to the venue is very large, there are eight passage entrances, Lin Chuan took the ticket and walked towards the entrance of a passage with fewer people.
He stepped into the door with one foot, only to be stopped by the guards.
"What's wrong?" Lin Chuan asked in surprise.
"Sir. This is a dedicated passage for Master Mechanics. The guard said.
Lin Chuan: "-_-||"
On the seven passages on the side, many people in line laughed, they just waited for Lin Chuan to walk over and get out of the way.
"Made...... , these guys don't remind me, it's not friendly at all, what about the most basic friendliness between people......" Lin Chuan scolded secretly and walked to a passage on the side to line up.
"Dude. Don't worry, someone makes a mistake at every event, and you're not the first, nor the last. A middle-aged man in line in front of him said with a smile.
"Uncle. It doesn't matter, thirty years from now, you might be able to walk in with dignity. A fat baby girl behind her said.
Lin Chuan touched his disguised beard and kept it cold, but he was actually embarrassed in his heart.
"At my current disguised age, if I become a master mechanic in thirty years, it's not like I'm about to go to the ground. Ten years at most, I'll be among the majestic. Lin Chuan muttered in his heart.
However, he quickly put this embarrassment behind him, looking at the shimmering ground at the other end of the passage, and the people riding various levitating vehicles, Lin Chuan was looking forward to the grand occasion of the exhibition inside.
Not far away, in the queue in another passage, three men and one woman looked at Lin Chuan's jokes, laughing and talking with each other.
"If this uncle is really a master mechanic, then the guard is afraid that he will lose his job. ”
The woman among the four chuckled, she was wearing a black and white checkered casual suit, leather boots, and her clothes were low-key and luxurious, with fair skin and a pretty face.
The other three men, looking at the woman, all had fiery admiration.
However, a man in a mechanic's robe stands side by side with a woman, asserting his status as a legitimate boyfriend.
"How can this uncle be a master of machinery, it doesn't look like it. ”
"Let's just say that at this age, there are not many mechanical masters under the age of forty in the entire continent, and they will not go through this passage, and there will be special airships to pick them up and bring them into the venue. ”
The other two men spoke, expressing their opinions.
"Not necessarily. ”
The man in the mechanic's robe stood and said proudly, "I may not be able to rank among the mechanics before I am forty years old. ”
Hearing this, the other two men smiled and agreed, with gloom in their eyes, it was the gap in each other's careers that prevented them from pursuing this beautiful woman.
"Angus, that's what you're talking about, right? Become a master mechanic before the age of forty. The woman said with a smile.
Attracting the attention of the beauties, Angus was overjoyed, and nodded his head to promise that he would be able to enter the ranks of mechanical masters before the age of forty.
"Good. I'm waiting for that day......"
The beautiful woman smiled, lowered her head and sighed secretly, she actually didn't like this kind of man who wrote pride on his face, but her father insisted on matchmaking, and the two sides were right, and she could only obey.
"At the age of twenty-five, he passed the mechanic exam this year, so it's no wonder that Angus is so proud. The woman said to herself.
The four of them passed through the security check and walked into the passage, and the beautiful woman looked at the time and said, "It's noon soon, let's hurry over, I hope to have a chance to have lunch with Master Silore." ”
Hearing the name of Master Silore, Angus also put away his pride, which was a strong man that his teacher also respected.
The strong can obtain the name of the master, which is actually more difficult than the advancement path of the mechanical master.
The four found the sign, jumped on the hovering scooter, and sped away.
At this time, next to the special passage, the guard was checking the detection door, and he was very curious, why did the detector not sound when Lin Chuan stepped into the detection door with one foot just now.
"Is it broken......
The guard took the communicator and notified the staff to come for maintenance.
——
The venue of the mechanical exchange event is very large, like a town, and the streets and alleys are full of mechanics, which is very rare in the outside world.
Here, in addition to the towering buildings, there are also small shops, mostly run by individual merchants, to sell machinery products during the event.
The small shops here are very distinctive, and there are many quizzes with prizes to attract customers.
In addition, each store has a variety of quizzes, or competitions, and the prizes are very rich.
The purpose of the store is the same as the purpose of the event, which is to hope that there will be a smart mechanic to come, and if it can promote the research and development of a mechanical product, it will make a lot of money.
If you can meet a mechanical master to come and give you some advice, it will be a pie-in-the-sky thing.
Although there are few such things, there is a precedent in the mechanical exchange event.
On one street, there is a small shop with two unique doors, one of which is ajar, and the handle on a heavy red door next to it is a mechanical roulette wheel.
People came and went on the street, and from time to time some people were curious, and came to the red door, and tried to turn the mechanical roulette, but they could not turn it with all their strength.
"This mechanical roulette wheel is decorative, this red door is simply locked......"
Someone questioned, but when they saw the white dwarf shopkeeper's scarred face and his eyes that were not angry and threatening, they didn't dare to ask more, and they all left in a hurry.
The goods sold in this small shop are not mechanical products, but ancient books, drawings, etc., and some people come in and walk around, and they all shake their heads and leave.
Machinery exchange event, are here to visit, buy high-tech machinery products, who want to see these old things.
Midday.
There were many customers in the small shop, three men and one woman at the door before, as well as Master Feng, his student Young Master Ken, and his entourage Lao Lie.
In front of the old round table, the shopkeeper of the white dwarf with scars and the master of the wind sat opposite each other, and the two drank the wine of the Blue Onyx Winery, chatting without a word.
"Silore, when are you going to open this dilapidated shop, while your strength has not yet declined, go out of the mountain. Master Feng took a sip of wine and said with a smile.
"What are you doing out of the mountains? Waiting for you old rivals to press me to the ground and beat me?"
Silore looked down, looked at a book of mechanical repair, and muttered under his breath.
Master Feng sighed: "Even if your weapon is damaged, if you change to a three-star weapon, few of our old friends are your opponents......." Let's go out of the mountain, those guys in the West Continent have been very arrogant on the border recently, if you go out of the mountain, just teach them a lesson together, and let the West Continent stop a little. ”
"Hmph......" Silor snorted coldly, drank the wine, and did not speak.
Looking at the foundation of mechanical repair, Master Feng shook his head, he didn't believe that the old man could read this book, and pretended to be.
The two elders sat down, and the young people on the side had no seats, and their eyes drifted to the other table from time to time.
Behind the door, there was a table with a pot of tea boiling on it, and a side of pastries with the opening prize written on it.
Looking at the pot of tea, the eyes of several young people were very eager, that tea was Dream Golden Tea, and it was dried with sea dragon blood, and its effect was comparable to a treasure-grade potion.
Just open the mechanical roulette wheel on the red door and you can enjoy this precious dream gold tea, as well as a limited number of delicious pastries.
"Is this mechanical wheel lock really that hard to open?"
Angus was suspicious, looked at Qi Ling, and wanted to show it in front of the beautiful woman, with his level of mechanical expertise, he could finally turn half a circle.
So, he walked out of the store, came to the red door, observed the mechanical wheel, and began to twist it.
However, no matter how hard he tried, he could not turn it even a bit.
This scene caused laughter from several young people in the store, especially the two men who laughed loudly, and it was a very happy thing to see the competitors eating deflated.
Angras blushed a little, panting and asked, "Master Silore, does this mechanical roulette lock really turn?"
Hearing such a question, Siloll raised his head slightly, and his calm gaze contained a force that made Angus take a few steps back.
"Young man, you've just been admitted to the mechanic exam, don't think you're very broad-minded. When you get to the day of the machine master, you will find that you are still very small......"
Silor said in a deep voice.
Angus's face flushed, and he said proudly: "When I become a mechanical master, I will definitely be able to open this mechanical roulette lock!"
Master Silore lowered his head and continued to look at the foundation of mechanical maintenance, he didn't bother to bother with this little guy who was talking big, if it wasn't for the fact that Angus's teacher was a mechanical master, he would have kicked this junior out a long time ago.
Master Wind looked at Angrath, then at the silent Ken, and smiled slightly, the more he looked at his students, the more satisfied he became.
"Angus ......"
Qi Ling pulled Laangus and motioned for him to say less, she didn't want to make a fuss.
At this time, in the crowd on the street, a figure walked by the door of the small shop, and with a surprised sound, walked to the red door, and stopped.
"Huh...... , isn't this the uncle who walked through the wrong passage door......" Qi Ling muttered.
"Hmph, this guy wants to open the mechanical roulette lock too? ”
Angus had heard from his teacher that the mechanical roulette lock of the red door was very special, and so far, nearly a hundred mechanical masters have tried it, but they have not opened the mechanical roulette lock.
"Does this down-and-out mechanic want to try......"
Angus sneered, he was looking forward to the scene of this middle-aged mechanic with thick glasses, who couldn't open the lock even with all his strength, so that the scene he had just made out of trouble would not be so embarrassing.
