Chapter 44: I'll Just Take a Look

Tuk Tuk ......

There was a knock on the door.

"Mr. Jack."

Chen Lun opened the door, and Connie stood outside with an excited face, still holding a mechanical glove and a horn gun in her hands.

"Mr. Jack, I seem to have a few ideas, I don't know if it's feasible......"

"Come in and talk about it."

Chen Lun invited Connie into the house.

The two sat down in the living room, and Chen Lun made her a cup of tea, which made Connie a little embarrassed.

"Thank you, Mr. Jack."

"You're welcome."

Chen Lun looked at the wall clock on the wall, it was half past eight in the morning.

It seems that Connie is very interested in Madhand and Furious, and is full of energy, and has come to share her results so early.

Fortunately, these two days are weekends, and Connie doesn't have to go to class, otherwise this girl will probably be in school, and she can't help but think about it all the time.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ If, as I envisioned, the internal structure was changed and the barrel was reinforced, the musket should be able to effectively increase its stability and reduce the probability of exploding......"

Connie pulled out a drawing with some structural drawings and annotations.

Chen Lun glanced at it slightly, but he didn't know how to do it, but he simply felt that Connie's handwriting was very beautiful.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ And this weapon doesn't seem to have a lot of ammunition requirements, but I personally think that the steel balls are the most suitable, which can reduce wear and tear and increase the service life......"

"As for this mechanical glove, I always felt that it was something missing, resulting in some of the structures being ineffective designs......"

Connie talked for more than ten minutes, and at the end she was a little unsatisfied.

In this process, Chen Lun nodded silently about what she talked about "stop pawl action", "basic law of tooth profile meshing", as well as "instantaneous number of mechanisms" and "three-heart theorem".

An expression on your face that you continue, I understand you very well.

She took a sip of tea, raised her eyes and looked at Chen Lun slightly embarrassed.

"Connie, it seems that you are indeed very talented in this area. If you think this idea is right, then give it a try. ”

Chen Lun praised him and drank tea to cover up the fact that he was illiterate.

In fact, he gave her madness and fire to study, not really wanting her to improve and optimize, but simply to see how talented she is in this area.

As it turned out, this girl was probably a genius.

"Ah, thank you......"

Being recognized is a great fulfillment, and Connie feels happy.

She suddenly thought of something again, and her expression was a little embarrassed.

"It's just Mr. Jack, if you want to modify the musket, you need some tools and materials.

I don't have one at home, so I need to go to the nearby workshop to borrow ......"

Connie said it very tactfully, but Chen Lun knew that she was short of money, so he generously gave her ten gold pounds.

"Mr. Jack, I don't need to do that much, I'll buy some materials and pay for some use.

And I know the guy in the workshop, hehe......"

Connie only took one gold coin, and pushed the rest back.

Chen Lun smiled, took out another one and put it in Connie's hand.

"If you have more, you should be paid."

"Thank you...... What a generous gentleman you are, Mr. Jack, I, I misunderstood you before......"

Connie blushed, embarrassed.

"It's okay."

Chen Lun shook his head absently.

"Mr. Jack, I'll go back first."

Connie made a final curtsy and took her things and left.

After she left, Floy appeared behind Chen Lun.

"You seem to admire her?"

"Well, she's very talented in mechanics, I was just going to try it, but I didn't expect to find a treasure."

Floy nodded, and instead of talking about Connie, she asked:

"Are you going to dine at Mrs. Caroline's?"

"Well, no need, you can go today."

Chen Lun waved his hand awkwardly.

He couldn't help but think of the dinner he had at Mrs. Caroline's last night.

Mrs. Caroline first regretted Kent's farewell, and she seemed to know something. At the dinner table, they denounced the gangsters in the outer city, and Kent was most likely forced away by them.

Chen Lun just buried his head in eating.

Kent was killed by him, and he couldn't say anything. Wearing a surging badge, he had a great appetite, and he was done with his head down and cooking.

In addition, Mrs. Caroline is constantly concerned about whether he has found a job, and that life in the outer city is too difficult. There is also the topic of how the situation is with relatives.

It was impossible for Chen Lun to tell the truth, so he had to say a few words perfunctory.

Floy was watching the excitement from the sidelines.

Fortunately, she finally spoke out to Mrs. Caroline for cooking questions, which diverted Mrs. Caroline's attention.

Chen Lun couldn't help but sigh.

This is really a good girl who is empathetic.

……

Chen Lun bought two loaves of bread at the coffee shop downstairs and a cup of coffee to make do with breakfast.

I crumpled the finished cartons into a ball and threw them in the trash, and walked straight into the bookstore from yesterday.

The old man was a little stunned when he heard the door open.

I didn't expect Chen Lun to come over early in the morning to read a book.

"Good morning, Tao ...... Mr. Tauter? ”

Chen Lun remembered that Mrs. Caroline had called him that yesterday.

"Yes, Taut."

The old man pursed his lips and lifted his glasses.

"Good morning, you kid."

After saying hello, the old man took out the tome he had been reading yesterday from the drawer behind the counter.

Chen Lun didn't bother to pay attention to this rude old guy.

Everyone else calls me sir.

He walked to the innermost point, intending to start looking from here. Yesterday the upstairs has been swept all, I hope to have something to gain today.

Time passes.

The sun rises in the east to the top of the sky at noon and sets in the west to dusk.

"Alas......"

Chen Lun put down a biography in his hand and sighed helplessly.

I flipped through all the books on the first floor and still found nothing. Fortunately, you don't have to read it all, you just need to open it and turn a few pages to know if it's not.

If there is no prompt box popping up, then it must be just an ordinary book.

The old man glanced at Chen Lun.

"Are you looking for a book?"

Chen Lun nodded in acknowledgement.

"Yes."

He replied casually and prepared to leave.

The search for books containing transcendent knowledge is inexplicable to this old man. But as he reached the door, he suddenly turned his attention to the tome in the other person's hand.

By the way, this wouldn't have been, would it?

"Whatever book you are looking for, tell me and I'll listen to it, I'm familiar with every book here."

Taute said, a look of pride on his face.

Seeing that he was so confident, Chen Lun said:

"Are there any old books that look old, or strange books with mysterious contents......?"

Chen Lun knew that in this kind of ordinary bookstore, there would be no transcendent knowledge.

And even if there were, it was only a very low-end kind.

Because if high-end transcendent knowledge is accidentally seen by ordinary people, it is very likely to cause the reader's sanity value to be cleared, death or out of control, and eventually cause terrible turmoil.

So if there was really high-end transcendent knowledge, it would have been cleared by the shelter a long time ago.

Most of the transcendent knowledge that wanders among the people is "fish that slips through the net", but it is also limited to low-level transcendent knowledge.

Even if it is accidentally seen by ordinary people, there will be no major incident of mysterious pollution. At most, I just think these books are strange, and the content is vague and vague.

Only those who truly understand can absorb the transcendent mystical knowledge from it, and thus enter the door of the transcendent world.

"Nope!"

The old man shook his head and vetoed it.

Chen Lun was speechless, this old guy wouldn't be playing with me, would he?

"Mr. Taut, can you show me the book you have?"

"Nope."

The old man refused.

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

"Mr. Taut, if I think the book is good, I'll pay for it."

Chen Lun's face was sincere.

Taute looked up at him and removed his glasses.

"I received this book a few years ago, but the content above is all about the cemetery mausoleum, and I plan to choose and design my future cemetery......

"Just show me."

"10 Silver Lords."

Syllable!

Chen Lun directly slapped a gold pound on the table.

"Hey, you're so rich!"

Taute grinned and handed over the tome.
