Chapter 156: The Little Shop
The "Factory" is a semi-free secret realm, and there are many secrets contained in it, and its control is unknown, or even none.
Among them, the "car factory" is always in a high-risk state, and the strange monsters and machines are constantly attacking each other, staging a never-ending "monster movie", and those who are confident can also deliver food to their homes (those who do not come back below the fourth order....... But as long as you don't get close, you can really watch it as a movie.
The "winery" is more subtle, similar to the kind of treasure and trial land, and there is not much danger and "door nails" are picked up everywhere, which is considered a local newcomer area.
By the way, the distillery does have alcohol, but it seems that only locals can consume and drink it, and many outsiders try it and try it themselves.
Further afield? At present, there are power plants, garbage treatment plants, etc., but no one goes because they are too dangerous.
The current commercial and residential areas are the accommodation areas for "factory employees", and it is relatively safe except for some extremely dangerous "office workers" who come back to sleep at dusk.
Although the overall style of the big factory here remains in the 70s and 80s of this century, it was actually discovered in the early 90s, and after expert investigation, it is not a false history that has been repeated repeatedly, but a space that has been cut down.
Why? Unknown.
But some say that a god is imprisoned here, or a god-level monster.
In the world of the Secret Keeper, the weak will only lead to misfortune if they know too much, and the sound mind will not pursue too much.
In a sense, it is precisely because there are too many "unknowns" and "risks" here that the alien management bureau and the military have jointly enforced the law several times, all of which ended with "the other party fleeing and may enter an unknown area" and "there are no customers on the street, and the stores sell legal goods..... Of course, the root cause is that he has the value of existence.
Andri, whose real name is a string of codes for unknown characters, a steam elf in the mouth of humans, a member of the small maintenance puppet group of the "Factory",
They are derivatives and products of the entire factory, and are responsible for the maintenance of common equipment such as pipelines, factories, and living areas.
But as intelligent creatures, while completing their own work, they must also have certain hobbies and luxuries..... At least, this kind of character setting is thoughtful.
Andri's hobbies are a little more special, which also gives him a slightly subtle name on the human side.
"'Rookie Antlion' Andriy, is this your greeting gift?" Lu Ping'an smiled and read out the name in the information.
This bad name shows his bad behavior of seducing newcomers for a long time and leading them into a trap.
It is true that the steam elves will not attack outsiders, they do not have the duties of "protection" and "vigilance" in their design functions, and in the face of attacks from outsiders, they can only fight back blindly and ignorantly instinctively, like a broken vacuum cleaner.
As a servant, he doesn't even have a lie module, but circumventing his own limitations to trick people is one of his interests.
"It's funny, newcomer, you recognize me and follow me?" Little Andri was a little curious.
Here is one of his most used "alleys", but the two thugs who are "traps" are already lying on the ground.
Although these are two professionals with average strength, they are gone so quickly, which is enough to prove the strength of the young man in front of him, and the elf is a little curious.
Lu Ping'an smiled, and there was indeed undisguised disappointment in his words. "I was counting on you to bring me something a little interesting, and it turned out ...... That's it? ”
"Human, can I know your name?"
"The road is safe, the road is safe, the road is safe."
"Recorded......." The elf's eyes flashed once, and when this memory was recorded, even if it "returned to the factory to rebuild", it would not forget the person in front of it.
“....... Need a guided tour? Mr. Lu Ping'an. As if the betrayer was not himself, the elf asked the same words.
But this time, the exchange of names itself also means the establishment of a service contract.
"Of course, find me something interesting." Smiling at Lu Ping'an, he also directly said his needs.
In the following period, little Andri also fulfilled his duties as a tour guide and introduced a bunch of interesting places to Lu Ping'an.
Blood soaked the ground in the factory area, and the "meat block" assembly line was generally operating, which reminded Lu Ping'an of his processing factory in the port area, perhaps, this is the origin of some of the goods outside..... It seems that there is no difference between humans and foreigners in terms of cruelty to the weak, except that the result of one is the sale of the other and the result of eating.
"Don't get me wrong, there are a few gangs here...... Although they call themselves churches, everyone actually calls them gangs. Well, these guys, don't have the guts to provoke the Secret Service so much, most of the ingredients are clones obtained in some way, you see if they look exactly the same. ”
"Mostly? That is, a small part ......"
"The replica is inexpensive and cost-effective, but the quality is still worse than that of a normal person....... If you have the money, you can order specific items. If you need a style, tell me that you can get a 20% discount, of course, even so, I still have a commission. ”
When Lu Ping'an walked into this obviously illegal black factory, the guard only glanced at the leading black elf, and ignored Lu Ping'an, who looked curious.
But when Lu Ping'an came out, they were a little surprised...... It seems that Lu Ping'an is regarded as a "commodity" sent to the door by the black elves.
And Lu Ping'an's calm behavior as if shopping made them dare not move.
In the antique shop full of strange items, the strange lion-headed guard asked Lu Ping'an a bunch of philosophical questions.
Including the unsolvable answer "Your mother and wife fell into the river, who will you save" derives a rather subtle answer.
"Of course it's Mom, I don't have a wife."
"You'll have it later." This lion's head is very humane.
"It won't be." Lu Ping'an said categorically.
The big lion's head was silent, it could see the lie, and the other party really thought so.
"For example, she exists."
"What is the analogy of things that cannot exist? Pure fictional assumptions will only lead to meaningless results, and I'm not interested in playing with you. Lu Ping'an was calm, looking at each other like a child.
Well, this really can't be talked about anymore, and the lion's head decisively turns in.
“...... There was a train rushing over, on two tracks, one for 100 people who had nothing to do with you, and one for your friends. You have to have a mechanism to change in your hands, which one do you choose? ”
“..... How do you tie a hundred people to a track? ”
"Hypothesis, hypothesis, hypothesis can happen, so it makes sense, and the previous answer doesn't count."
"Then I can know, what level that friend over there is? Pal? Girlfriend? Fairweather friend? If I make such a choice, will it be known to the outside world and lead to my social death? ”
Lu Ping'an's bland words made the lion head angry as always, but he could only grit his teeth and make up for more "conditions".
Finally, after half an hour, Lu Ping'an, who had made up at least fifty conditions, replied with interest:
"Oh, she's my childhood sweetheart, and we had a pretty good relationship, and we used to have a love triangle. Everything that happens here will be reported, and whatever I choose, I'm sure I'm going to die socially, but none of those 100 people have anything to do with me within six people....... Actually, you don't need to add so much, I will definitely choose 'friends' when this topic comes out, and the life and death of strangers are none of my business. ”
Lu Ping'an is still very bland, but the Sphinx on the other side immediately exploded, so what's the point of it nagging so much!
"You're sick, aren't you?!"
"You just know?!"
Truth, unquestionable truth.
The Sphinx, who likes to talk and even nag the most, and only has his head left, doesn't want to speak at this time.
But judging from the smile on the corner of the boy's mouth, he should be deliberately teasing the cat.
"Would you rather choose someone who loves you or someone you love......
"You're joking again, let's not mention whether I will have love or a lover, let's define what love is, whether it's a chemical reaction, or a sociological contract, or ......."
The third joke..... At least Lu Ping'an thought it was a joke, and it still ended in the helplessness of the lion head after a long tug-of-war.
After leaving the store without buying anything (I can't afford it), Lu Ping'an casually asked his tour guide.
"If you can't answer, lie about it, or be asked to break the defense, will you be eaten in one bite?"
"No, just bite off your right arm, haven't you heard the allusion to the lion's head that discerns lies."
"Nope. Oh, if you don't have your hands, you can go to the store next door to spend? Do you take a cut by the way? ”
"That's right, it's a pity that I didn't earn it...... But judging by the results, it's good, I want to play it again, is there a new goal? This time, let you choose. ”
After playing around, Lu Ping'an also received a small gift from the Sphinx.
[Dalyan's (Young Sphinx)'s Blessing of Wisdom (Silver Tier): As a reward for defeating the Wisdom Beast, your Enlightenment will increase greatly in three days. 】
A seemingly useless little blessing, Lu Ping'an was a little happy, and even took the initiative to contact the tour guide and change his tour and shopping plan.
"Introduce me to some books and props that you can't buy outside, and ....... fun first"
What? Serious business? Is there something serious? Such an interesting place, if you don't see it too much, you won't lose it, and you will be paid to pull x..... The time of travel should naturally be used well.
Mistakes? Xia Qin gave Lu Ping'an three days, as an old social animal, Lu Ping'an naturally knew what "one day's task for three days" meant?
"Is this for me not to go back for three days? The Great Purge? Or is it something that doesn't work for me to be a part of? Forget it, it doesn't matter, let's play and see. ”
