Chapter Eighty-Four: Mobile Phone Repair Shop

"Uh-huh....."

"Ahh

There was a scream from the other side of the wall, and the sound of the human body hitting the wall was like smashing against the wall, and Shalin, who was resting on the side of the bed, rubbed his eyes.

The little girl in bed was probably too sleepy, or maybe she was used to this kind of noise, and she slept deeply.

Shalin got up and opened the curtains, although it was already past ten o'clock in the morning, the sky of the bad city was still shrouded in layers of black clouds, and the rain that had fallen all night last night did not stop, but there was a general trend, making the city full of a sense of alternative decadence all the time.

After spending nearly 50 gold tickets for breakfast, Sarin cursed the black merchant and returned to the apartment before most people woke up.

He drank the milk and nibbled on the meat floss bread, leaving Rose a portion of hot milk and food.

These are all brands and smells that he is familiar with, and it seems that no matter where he is, he can only buy food and clothes under those few company brands, and this smell makes him think more about his school days.

Before Rose woke up, Sarin wrapped up her bandages, left her a note and went out.

Two blocks away, sirens were heard, presumably someone had found the body of a man whose face had been scratched beyond recognition by a cat, but Sarin had an extremely strong alibi, and he couldn't be found on him.

Even if the robots found out about the confrontation between themselves and the man at the elevator entrance last night, they would definitely be able to see that they didn't leave the apartment building last night.

As for now......

He thought he should find a mobile phone repair shop first and fix his phone.

Although it was possible to buy a new one, Sarin still wanted to keep the keepsake that Keck had left for himself.

Of course, if the phone really doesn't work, he'll buy a brand new one, after all, he'll have to find a new house on the app that accepts residents who don't have a citizenship card.

Internet access in an Internet café outside is too expensive, and it is even less cost-effective if it is used to find a house, after all, it costs ten golden tickets every hour!

Although sarin doesn't need a luxurious house, at least the sound insulation is better than the current one.

Sarin leisurely left the apartment building, leaving sleeping Rose and Canned Herring in the room, the door unlocked.

The feeling of returning to the city still made Shalin's heart faintly excited, he held a red and black umbrella, leisurely walking along the road, but his walking speed was fast in the eyes of others, and some people even felt that there were shadows around them.

A drunken homeless man lies in a small shed outside the scrapyard, and a woman with pinholes in her arms is lying in the garbage heap, not knowing whether she is dead or alive.

Rustling......

The sound of motor vehicle horns came from the rain, and a group of men and women with lip rings and eyebrow studs on their faces passed by Sarin, cursing and discussing growing taxes on tobacco and alcohol.

Sarin stopped in front of a cell phone repair shop not far from the scrap yard and pushed open the rusty door, the crisp brass bell ringing.

"Boss, help me see if this phone can be repaired, and how much will it cost to repair it?"

Sarin walked into the dirty little shop, next door to an even dirtier mechanical parts store, and he left his straight phone in the only clean spot on the grease-stained counter and called out to the repair shop owner.

The owner of the repair shop was an old man with a pair of glasses, and he yawned lazily as customers entered the door.

"Leave it there, and I'll show you in a moment. ”

"I'm in a hurry, you can come over first and see if it can be fixed. ”

"Just put it somewhere, it's already bad, I can't fix it, it won't get worse, young people are young, there's no need to be so impatient in doing things, will I still fix it for you?"

The old man got up from the recliner and walked over to see the mobile phone sent by Shalin suddenly and visibly flustered.

But he quickly hid his surprise, checked his phone casually, and started playing haha again.

"Hey, young man, your phone doesn't seem to be very common, where did you bring it from?"

"It has nothing to do with you, if you can't fix it, I'll just change stores. ”

Shalin was keenly aware of what the old man seemed to see, so he was afraid that he would guess that he was from the quarantine zone and cause unnecessary trouble.

Tsk, that's a nuisance.

But would an old man really know that much?

He withdrew his phone from the old man's hand and turned to leave, when the owner of the mobile phone repair shop, who had been lazy and lazy, suddenly became full of energy and passion, and stopped Shalin before he could step out of the door.

"Alas, young man, don't go yet!"

"I'm ...... When did I say I can't fix your phone?"

"You young man, don't be so impatient in doing anything, I just asked casually, after all, your mobile phone is really not common in the free city-state, and I don't necessarily have all the accessories here!"

With a greasy, dirty smile on his face, the old man welcomed Shalin back to the repair table.

He even smoked a bench for him, and then took a glass of sarin from the water pipe with a flattering face, and directly saw a large number of bacteria and fungi in the tap water, and explained in a nagging voice:

"I really didn't mean to ask about your origin, everyone knows about our bad city, it's me who talks too much. ”

"I was wrong, I apologize to you, okay?"

The old man sincerely invited Shalin to sit down, and then held up the straight mobile phone and pointed out the problem to Shalin.

"Young man, look at this, this mobile phone has been ruined by you, and I can repair the mobile phone for you in the mobile phone repair shop in the outer ring of the bad city!"

"You can see that the edges of the front and rear shells of it are bulging, and there is a little fishy smell in it, which should be caused by being soaked in seawater, and after it has been soaked in seawater, you probably violently disassemble it for drying, so the grooves of the phone case are slightly twisted. ”

The old man said as he used a slender screw to open the back cover of the phone, pointing out the problem he had described and showing off his repair skills.

Shalin nodded, motioning for him to continue.

He didn't stay because the old man apologized to himself, he just thought that instead of adding risk to another place, it would be better to settle the fight in a shop.

The old man didn't know what was going on in Shalin's mind, and continued to point out the cause of the damage to the phone.

"Due to the good salt content in seawater, once the mobile phone is flooded, it is easy for the inside of the battery to short-circuit. ”

"Then the display goes black, and then the motherboard circuitry burns through ......"

"It's because your mobile phone is not a common commodity in the Free City-State, so if you want to replace the internal damaged accessories, I must know its specific model before I can go out and buy accessories to repair it!"
