Chapter 137: The Little Shop of the Virus Crisis
Mall, the home city of the Prali Chasers.
The mall is located in the south of the Light Cross Continent, which is the center of the entire southern region, and it is also the most prosperous city in the Light Cross Continent except for the central capital.
The Prali Chasseur is mainly commercial, and vigorously develops the commerce of the mall, so that the mall has become a huge gold hole. If Blue Heart City is the city with the best Doji environment, then the mall is the city with the most intoxicating Doji City.
The slogan of the mall is that as long as there is money, there is nothing that cannot be bought.
Although the slogan is a bit exaggerated, in fact, unless it is some items strictly controlled by the Federation's top secret order, such as starships, such as platform-level weapons with a power of more than two million energy degrees, and other than these things, such as special items for large-scale extermination of humanity, in the mall, as long as you have money, there is really nothing you can't buy.
From an ancient nostalgic legend carved from the trees of Earth, the home planet of mankind, to the latest simulator or weapon just developed by the Central Star of the Federation. Whether it's an item or a living person, as long as you have money and a way, you can buy what you need in the mall.
According to a large amount of research, the two main ingredients of the super antique bibase bomb found in the factory, low-nitrogen cellulose nitroacid vinegar and nitroglycerin, were purchased from a company called "Pan-Solar Retro Craft" in the mall.
Although it sounds like the name of this "pan-solar system retro craft" is not small, but in fact this company is just a company that is so small that there is only one person from the boss to the clerk.
When Xiao Ming and the others came to the door of this small company, they all didn't believe their eyes.
&Is that the so-called 'pan-solar retro craft' company?" Luo Aoi looked in surprise at the storefront in front of him in a small alley with an entrance only two people wide.
The signboard of the store is very interesting, it is not a photon signboard, nor is it a relatively primitive holographic signboard, but a stone, placed at the door, a stone that is one person high.
A stone is not a special thing, it is just an ordinary stone, something that can be found anywhere. The side facing the outside is polished and clean, and the words "Pan-solar Retro Craft" are engraved on it.
>> It's retro enough!" Tifa looked at this shabby shop with a smile, the metallic paint on the façade has peeled off most of it, and the exposed metal is actually rusty, in terms of modern human technology, ordinary metal materials will not rust at all, rusty metal, that can only mean one thing, this door is not the general technology used, but the retro technology.
&&Will there be real ancient knight armor for sale?" Li Luokui is a fan of knight novels, and her favorite thing to read is those princess knights and the like, and her hobby is also collecting knight armor, but unfortunately there has been no way to get the real kind of ancient iron armor, and can only get imitations made of high-strength alloy metal made of modern science and technology.
Li Yinchen glanced at Li Luokui helplessly: "Xiaokui, we are here to work, not to pick up your useless things!"
&It's just whatever!" Li Luokui is usually a very obedient child, a standard soldier, but when it comes to her hobbies, she becomes quite irrational.
&If there really is, it's not impossible to buy two sets by the way, anyway, there is a space bracelet, and it's easy to take it back!" Tifa smiled and played a round, which dispelled Li Yinchen, who was originally going to preach to Li Luokui.
& If you don't get in the way of the task, you can do whatever you want!" Li Yinchen shook his head helplessly.
In fact, if you buy some armor by the way, you don't have any, but the problem is that this kind of thing is big and heavy, and it is not convenient to carry it at all, but not everyone has a space bracelet, if Li Luokui carries such things on his back to complete the task, wouldn't it be a delay? So at first, Li Yinchen disagreed.
However, now that Tifa is playing a round game, and he said that he agrees to use the space bracelet to help Li Luokui install armor, Li Yinzhen will not be able to say anything more.
While the girls were talking, Xiao Ming had already walked into the door of the store and the like.
The shop was a grocery store, and when you entered the door, you could see a shelf mounted on the wall that led to the roof. The shelves were filled with a lot of strange things that Xiao Ming couldn't name, and the whole house was more than 30 square meters.
&Stink, it smells of blood!" Yingluo, who had been pulling the corner of Xiao Ming's clothes, covered her nose and said.
&Blood?" Xiao Ming asked.
&Many, Man, Beast!" Yingluo's abilities made her extremely sensitive to blood.
“...... En...... "Xiao Ming was about to speak, and around the corner, a square machine drove over.
The reason why I say it is because this machine qì man is not the modern mainstream simulator qì man at all, but the kind of original weird appearance assembled by two square shells, without legs, but mounted wheels.
&Okay, dear guest, what kind of service do you need?" The mechanical electronic voice made Xiao Ming stunned again.
It was the first time he had heard such an electronic sound. The voice of the machine and the human voice that he had heard before was almost indistinguishable from the synthetic sound of the human, and this was the first time he had heard the sound of an old electronic sound.
The two lights-like eyes of the machine were constantly flickering, as if they were waiting for Xiao Ming's answer.
>> I'm looking for your boss!, I want to ask him!'" Xiao Ming said.
&Okay, dear guest, what kind of service do you need?" The machine qì man did not reply at all, repeating the same sentence.
& Man, this machine doesn't use a light brain at all, but a fairly old binary compiler, and I can completely rewrite all of this guy's programs in just a thousandth of a second!" Jelly said proudly.
&Is there a memory bank?" Xiao Ming asked again. A standard photo-brain-computer person must have a memory bank.
&Yes, there is only one very old storage device with a very small capacity. Only the list of goods. Master, it's useless for you to ask this stupid thing, it has no intelligence at all, it can only answer questions and answers about right and wrong! It's too backward!" As the most advanced personality intelligence light brain of the Golden Empire, in the eyes of Jelly, this kind of super old antique that is estimated to have been eliminated by the human beings on the earth for thousands of years is definitely not much better than garbage.
Just then, everyone else walked in.
>> "Tifa asked.
Xiao Ming shook his head helplessly: "This thing is not a light brain system, I don't know where to start with the primitive!"
> It's a retro place. Let's do something more primitive!" Tifa smiled, then slammed a metal plate on the counter with a loud noise.
The sound startled Xiao Ming and the others, and they didn't know why.
Tifa explained with a smile: "It's called a gong, and I came to the mall once with my father when I was a kid, and there are many small shops like this in the mall. After the ring, theoretically the boss will come forward!"
Sure enough, as soon as Tifa's words fell, a sonorous sound sounded from the back room, and then a sonorous sound came over.
At the narrow entrance where the machine had just appeared, a metal figure appeared in front of everyone.
> Special Armor!" Seeing only half of it, Li Luokui had already shouted with joy.
Seeing that everyone turned their faces blankly, Li Luokui excitedly explained: "This is a kind of armor in the medieval style of the Earth Age, which is characterized by simplicity, full of functional beauty, angular, and good movement. It was one of the most advanced armors of its time. Because of the loss of technology, this armor became a legend even for a long time, and it was not until hundreds of years ago that it was finally copied again. Now on the market, a replica of this Gothic armor is worth tens of thousands of federal coins. ”
&This armor is still made of primitive quenched steel, and if it is taken out for auction, it will definitely be worth hundreds of thousands of federal coins!"
Li Luokui's ability is magnetic energy, as long as it is a magnetic metal, the moment it comes into contact with her control force field, she can parse the composition of the magnetic metal. So she just sensed the composition of the armor with a slight sense.
It's because I know the ingredients that I'm even more excited. You must know that iron ore is now considered an antique item, but it is not something that can be obtained casually, let alone using iron ore products such as iron and steel to create items.
Listening to Li Luokui's words, everyone turned their heads again, looking at the armored man who leaned out half of his body, the person was hidden in the armor, wearing a helmet, putting down a mask, and he couldn't see clearly at all.
&Is it the boss? We have something to ask!" Since Tifa was the only one of the people who had dealt with this type of shop in the mall, it was natural for everyone to give her the right to speak.
The armored man did not speak, nor moved, but was silent. Tifa spoke twice in a row, but received no answer.
The atmosphere became a little dreary, even a little eerie.
Everyone looked at each other, and some couldn't understand the situation.
&&Ming, he's a living person?" Tifa knew that Xiao Ming had the ability to distinguish between these, so he asked secretly.
Xiao Ming could clearly see the reaction of the human soul energy under the armor in the soul radar, and nodded: "He is human, and he is not asleep, not dead, alive!"
"Did we strike that gong and make him angry?" asked Li Luokui cautiously, his eyes looking up and down at the Gothic armor, and his eyes were full of thoughts of robbing the house.
Besides, we are guests, and even if we are reckless, we should be greeted with a smile on our faces!" Tifa shook his head in confusion and took a step forward, intending to try again.
As soon as she moved, the armored man also moved, and there was a loud sound of armor rubbing.
Everyone subconsciously retreated and kept a safe distance.
Then a dull voice was heard.
&Damn, it's stuck...... How many of you, can you help me?"
