The village chief was very grateful to Chang Ming.

He knew very well that if it weren't for Chang Ming, if the people of the Qi family really asked about the broken gold wire, it would be difficult for Jinzhu Village to explain. Originally, buying and selling was a consensual thing, but when one party was strong, the situation of forced buying and selling could happen at any time.

Fortunately, Chang Ming scared people away, and he could take advantage of the free time to make some arrangements, and the village chief was really relieved.

Looking at the cylindrical long-legged machine car striding away, the village chief asked, "Come to me and sit down and apply medicine?"

The two looked at each other, knowing that they had something to ask each other.

Chang Ming sat down at the village chief's house, and after a while, a middle-aged man came over silently and handed Chang Ming a small bamboo tube.

Chang Ming took it, this bamboo tube is very delicate, after unscrewing, the translucent ointment exudes a faint fragrance, rubbed on the face, and instantly a cool feeling rushes straight to the mind, and after a while, the swelling on the face is half gone.

Chang Ming exclaimed, "Good medicine!"

The middle-aged man Lao Ping said succinctly: "Keep it." ”

Chang Ming knew that this was a life-saving thing, and after nodding gratefully at the other party, he carefully put it away.

After he applied the medicine and the pain subsided slightly, the village chief asked the onlookers in the house to retreat, and waited until there were only the two of them left, and then asked solemnly: "Little brother, are you really ......?"

Chang Ming followed his gaze and saw the wrench in his hand, shook his head and said, "Uncle Village, to be honest, I'm not." This is a relic left by my grandfather. He was an amazing man, but he had passed away and did not pass on his craft to me. ”

"Passed away......," the village chief said solemnly, "In that case, then you are in danger!

I was scared by you this time, and I will definitely try to find out your news next, and as long as I find that there is no high-level mechanic with you around, I will definitely attack you. ”

Chang Ming smiled helplessly: "At that time, the situation was urgent, and I could only do that, there was really no way." ”

The village chief groaned, "That's true...... However, the Qi family is indeed remarkable, but it has not yet reached the level of covering the sky with one hand in Zihuai City. In two days, the people of the Lian family will come to collect this month's goods, and I will mention this matter to them when the time comes. I hope that the Lian family can take action and suppress the people of the Qi family......"

He looked up and asked, "Little brother, what are your plans next?"

Chang Ming thought for a moment and said frankly: "Uncle Village, I want to be a mechanic!"

The village chief was not surprised at all, and nodded as a matter of course. In his opinion, Chang Ming's grandfather has such a wrench, and he must be a senior mechanic. I don't know why I didn't pass on the craft to my grandson, but is there anything strange that the grandson of a senior mechanic wants to be a mechanic?

He asked, "Little brother, your grandfather is a reclusive mechanic, right?"

Mechanics have a very unique position in this world, and there are some high-level mechanics who live in seclusion in the mountains either to obtain rare materials or because they don't want to deal with the outside world. Chang Ming looks very clever, but he seems to be a little "ignorant", which must be because of his seclusion.

Chang Ming didn't know that he was an image in the village chief's heart who had never seen the world. When he heard this, he was stunned. But this is beneficial to him, and he decisively pushes the boat: "Yes, the place where I live is completely different from here, I have never seen many things, and I don't know many things." ”

The village chief said: "Then little brother, do you want to stay with me for a while? I used to travel when I was young, and I can tell you some basic things during this time, and I can repay you for your kindness to our Jinzhu Village!"

Chang Ming was overjoyed and said with a smile: "This is the best!"

He smiled and said, "So, Uncle Village, can you tell me first, what is the mechanic like, and what do I want to do first if I want to be a mechanic?"

The village chief said categorically: "Money! If you want to be an organist, you need a lot of money!"

"Huh?"

Chang Ming didn't expect this to be the answer, he opened his mouth wide and froze.

As long as you have money, you can be a mechanic?

Of course not.

But being a mechanic does require a lot of money.

The lowest level of the Mechanic is the Mechanic Apprentice, who only needs to be ingenious and have a certain amount of basic skills to take on the role. The best way out for such a person is to go to the factory as a worker and exchange his craft for money.

Chang Ming asked strangely: "Is there a factory?" Didn't I hear before that the mechanism can only be made by hand?"

The village chief really had a lot of knowledge, he nodded, shook his head again, and said: "It takes a lot of accessories to make a mechanism, do you have to do each of them by the senior mechanic himself? There are also some elementary institutions, which are used a lot in daily life and do not require any special skills, and they will also be sold in the factory. ”

Chang Ming asked, "These are all handmade?"

The village chief nodded: "Of course." ”

What kind of factory is this, it's just a handicraft workshop.

There are no lathes, no standardized production, and although the institutions here are popular, they are still in a very backward state compared to the machinery of modern society. But it's weird, why can't these things be used with tools like lathes? Even if they are not numerically controlled, ordinary lathes will be much more convenient to use, right?

Is it because you're too far behind, or is it because of something else?

However, the village chief only heard about these things and did not know the details. However, the few words that Chang Ming asked were very professional, which made the village chief more and more confident in his identity.

Chang Ming thought for a while and said, "It sounds like an apprentice only needs craftsmanship and doesn't need any money." ”

The village chief shook his head: "Where does the craft come from? Tuition is not required for studying? Moreover, an apprentice is not a real mechanic. A true mechanic needs to hone his craft by constantly crafting a large number of traps. Where do the materials come from? You can collect them yourself, but you have to pay for most of them. Not to mention the energy core, which is notoriously expensive......"

Energy core?

I knew that without a power source, how could I make the mechanism move!

Sure enough, the mechanism still needs an energy source, not a battery, it can be something else!

But what's the energy core?

Chang Ming continued to ask, the village chief only knew what it was, but didn't know why, and said that it was expensive over and over again, but as for what it was, he couldn't say.

The village chief concluded: "All the mechanics start as apprentices, and if you want to become an apprentice, you have to spend money to learn the trade. As an apprentice, not to mention continuing to study, you have to pay for a material making machine. The more advanced the material, the more expensive it is

The more advanced the energy core, the higher the price. Why are there so few mechanics? Because there are so few people who can burn money like this......"

As if he was afraid that he was talking too much, he patted Chang Ming on the shoulder and said, "But there are geniuses in this world." Miss Lian Zhaohui, the second daughter of the Lian family in Zihuai City, has already become an intermediate organ master at the age of sixteen, and is trying to find a way to break through the senior organ master. When you reach a high-level mechanic, the mechanism you make can be sold for a high price, and the family no longer needs to supply materials as indefinitely as you do now. ”

The village chief had already told him that the lowest level of the organ master was the agency apprentice, and after the agency apprentice was promoted, he would be the junior machine master. There are also intermediate organ masters, senior organ masters, and further up, there are organ grand masters. Further up, there are higher levels in the legend, and the village chief can't reach them at all, and there are very few rumors that he has even heard of.

The village chief lamented: "When I was a young man, I once met a high-ranking mechanic. It's very powerful, something went wrong with a deadly complicated trap beast, and people found it out within five minutes, and it was repaired immediately. ”

Belch...... Find it out in five minutes? Doesn't that seem like a good thing?

Chang Ming's grandfather didn't just repair the tape recorder and listen, where there was a problem with the large machinery in the factory, he listened to the sound and judged it in seconds, and he never made a mistake.

Chang Ming's EQ was not low enough to refute the village chief in person, so he listened to him continue.

Each level of the Organ Master needs to be registered with the Organ Master Guild in order to be certified, and there is an Organ Master Guild in Zihuai City, and even a big family like the Lian Family Qi family does not dare to offend easily.

The village chief outlined a path for Chang Ming. Although he repeatedly emphasized how difficult this road is and how much investment is required, Chang Ming is unmoved.

Lots of money?

These are all secondary!

He remembered fondly what his grandfather had said to him.

Hundreds of thousands of repetitions of an action become a technique, and a few hundred thousand repetitions of a technique become a technique.

Grandpa became an eighth-level mechanic, did he use any high-grade materials, and spent a lot of money? No, no. He just kept repeating and assiduously cultivating the basic skills. Grandpa's skills will be lost to some high-level mechanic?

Therefore, as long as he is willing to work hard, he will be able to create a sky of his own with his own craftsmanship!

He touched his pocket, and according to the village chief, fifty silver coins were enough to learn the art. This kind of thing, of course, is without delay, and the sooner the better.

He raised his head and was just about to say goodbye to the village chief, when the old man suddenly patted his head and said, "Speaking of the apprenticeship, I suddenly remembered something!"

There was once a child in the neighboring village of Jinzhu Village who went to take the apprenticeship exam, but failed the exam. After coming back, his father said dejectedly: I should have gone to Jinzhu Village to learn the craft of bamboo.

He said that although it is important to have money, it is not necessary to have money and the master will accept apprentices. Until then, the master will test some of the basic abilities of the apprentices. The test is not necessarily a piece of bamboo silk, but this kind of work can fully exercise people's basic skills. Basically, a good silkier is half a good apprentice!

Making broken gold wires?

Chang Ming scratched his head and thought about it.
