Chapter Eighty-Three: The Stone of Tempering
Arrived at the place.
There was a giggling sound.
Bawang Street is clearly a lively street, with buildings up to three stories on either side of the street full of pragmatist reliability.
Rusty iron plaques hang from the corners and crumble.
The tattered lantern signs are half bright and half dark.
Lively and old.
It is far from Jiang Bai's imagination of the black market.
The parrot seemed to see Jiang Bai's thoughts, and leaned next to him and explained softly.
"It's all serious shops here, but it can also be all black market."
Black Hawk was on the other side, his gaze sweeping over the five-ringed people who were watching them, a chuckle on his lips.
"When you open the door, you're in a serious store, and when you close it, it's on the black market, depending on what you want to buy."
Jiang Bai nodded and didn't say anything.
Black Hawk was obviously familiar with this place, and walked half a step ahead of everyone.
I found a shop called "Shop 17" and took everyone inside.
"Lao Chen, pick up customers!"
As soon as he entered, Black Hawk shouted loudly.
The inside of the store is pitch black, the lighting is poor, and the lights are not turned on in broad daylight.
Instead, I heard the voice of the Black Hawk, and a head emerged from a pile of "garbage" in the corner.
The man with only a few stubborn hairs left on his head glanced at the four people in front of him, and finally his gaze fell on the cat.
"Half-price ...... for girls"
Silently, the cat pulled out a dagger and twinked it at her fingertips.
Lao Chen shrank back again.
Black Eagle carefully avoided the rags in the room, walked over to Lao Chen and squatted down and said.
"Don't mess with your, we're here to buy the Tempering Stone."
When Lao Chen heard this, he looked up slightly at the three people in his eyes.
"Who wants?"
He then licked his lips and added.
"Half-price ...... for girls"
Black Eagle ignored him, and just picked his chin at Jiang Bai, who was looking around.
"The boy."
"Boy?"
Lao Chen glanced at Jiang Bai.
"Have you measured the degree of harmony?"
“11。”
There is nothing to hide in this regard, and the debugging of the tempering stone must require these specific data.
"Rich people...... No, where did you get a small amount of money? ”
Old Chen grunted.
He asked again at Black Hawk.
"Good or second?"
"Of course it's good."
Lao Chen looked at Jiang Bai and the others again.
"Let him come with me, and no one else will come in...... By the way, the girl can come. ”
As he spoke, Lao Chen stood up.
Walk towards a door hidden inside a pile of rags.
Black Hawk asked behind his back.
"I can't go in either?"
Lao Chen replied impatiently.
"If you want to enter, you can enter, where is there so much nonsense?"
Black Eagle pointed to the parrot again.
"He's the expert we hired, and he's going to have to go in."
Lao Chen turned his head and his gaze swept over the faces of several people.
Finally, he waved his hand irritably.
"All come in, all come in! Just don't touch me, or I'll be on you. ”
Several people followed Lao Chen and entered through the small door.
When the store was empty, two red lights suddenly lit up on the counter at the entrance.
Only the tattered silver-red female robot with only the head waved the hand of the rag doll, and after opening and closing its mouth a few times, the sound of a machine came from within.
"Welcome...... Welcome to ......"
……
There is another cave behind the small door.
After passing through a passage that was also full of miscellaneous items, a secret door was opened at the corner of the hallway, and the basement was lowered through the corridor inside the secret door to reach the destination.
With a "click", Lao Chen turned on the switch of the light.
A huge warehouse appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
The warehouse is huge, at least the size of a basketball court.
The shelves are full of mechanical appliances.
"Follow me."
Lao Chen beckoned and admonished at the same time.
"Be careful not to break things, it's all my treasures here."
"You're a mess here."
Black Hawk couldn't help but complain.
"It's such a big place, I can't help it."
At the end of the penultimate shelf, it was filled with some grayish-white irregular stones, large and small.
There are also some mechanical devices attached to the stone, and a small display screen on it.
"Na~"
Lao Chen stretched out his hand.
"Three shelves, Guanghui, Tianma, and Xixing, depending on which company you want. You have to say good, and I won't fool you. All here are original and genuine, and they have been used a few times at most, and 9 percent are new. ”
"Second-hand?"
The flower cat was a little confused.
Seeing that there was a problem with the girl, Lao Chen replied with a smile.
"Of course it's second-hand, do you dare to buy a new one? If you can buy a new one, you can go to the directly managed store, and you can still come to me? ”
The parrot nodded.
"The new one has to bind personal information, which is monopolized by the three major companies, and the information is not sold if it is not registered."
"Finally someone who knows how to do it."
Old Chen gave a thumbs up to the parrot.
"Let me tell you first, not only is it second-hand, but the price is definitely more expensive than new. It's not easy to receive the goods, and I have to find someone to erase the identity information of the original owner, otherwise you won't be able to use it. It's all cost. ”
The parrot nodded.
"Yes, take the glorious one."
Even the three oligopolistic companies have their own superior technologies.
Xixing has a slight advantage in psionic powers, Pegasus has a slight advantage in genes, and Radiance's advantage is in abilities.
"Okay."
Lao Chen is very simple.
"The best of the brilliance, suitable for the original new products with a blend of less than 20 The price is 5000, which can be checked. I'm up 20% here, 6000, and I'll debug it for you if I can accept it. ”
"Isn't it a bit expensive?"
Black Hawk frowned.
Lao Chen didn't speak, just stared at everyone, especially the flower cat.
Or the parrot asked.
"What's next?"
After asking the question, the parrot explained directly to Jiang Bai.
"You can only improve 3 degrees per debugging, you are 11 now, and you have to come back again if you can increase it to 14 at most. And if you buy it from him, no one will admit it if you go somewhere else, and if you don't make sure it first, it will be ridiculous. ”
"It's a professional."
If you don't come into contact with it in person, most people don't have time to care about it...... Or I can't imagine that there will be these details.
Lao Chen nodded.
"600 for each subsequent commissioning, and 800 for you to go to the direct store."
“7200……”
After roughly calculating the amount of energy coins needed to increase the mental harmony to 20%, the parrot asked again.
"How do you count recycling?"
Lao Chen's eyelids drooped.
"Folded in half."
“3000?”
“2500。”
"Where's the trade-in?"
"Sixty percent, 3600."
Every 10 degrees is a stage, and the price of hammer stones varies from stage to stage.
The various goods of this era are divided into extremely detailed categories.
The more meticulous it is, the more reliable the accuracy of science and technology, and the more famous it will be to collect money.
After learning all the information, the parrot nodded to Jiang Bai.
"General...... It's pretty much the same everywhere. If the goods themselves are okay with the goods they have, then they are not pits. ”
"You can rest assured, I have partnered with Xiaoying and I won't cheat you."
Black Hawk glared at him.
"If I don't bring an expert, can you take the initiative to tell me this?"
Lao Chen snorted and didn't answer.
Jiang Bai nodded.
"Okay."
Since the parrot said no, then that's fine.
Pay decisively.
Lao Chen took down a fist-sized stone from the shelf and said to Jiang Bai.
"Come here, I'll debug it for you."
At the workbench in the corner, Lao Chen turned on the power, took a helmet for Jiang Bai, and motioned for him to put it on.
Jiang Bai did so.
Lao Chen asked as if he was chatting with something while fiddling with something at the medium-sized terminal.
"What kind of ability?"
Jiang Bai's face remained unchanged and said without thinking.
"No abilities."
"Huh...... If you don't have an ability, you're willing to spend this money, and you have to gamble your life when you turn around? I knew I was overcharging you......"
The higher the degree of mental harmony, the higher the success rate when using ability-inducing potions, which is also a recognized metaphysics.
Therefore, there are not a few people who first improve the harmony and then take drugs, but that is the game of the rich.
There are only a few people like Jiang Bai who come to the black market to buy tempering stones and play like this.
"It's okay to ask less, it's not good for you."
Black Hawk snorted from the side.
"Huh~"
Lao Chen snorted disdainfully and collected his thoughts.
He has a family and a business, but he can't afford to clash with these mercenaries.
