High Energy QR Code: 55. Illegal mines
"Okay," Old Nick patted Xing Ye's arm and said after helping Xing Ye do the arm test, "It's very strong and durable, 5 pieces of raw ore."
"What?" The big mirror quietly stuck to the corner broke, "Didn't you say it's free?"
Old Nick said very naturally: "Of course my son's repairs are free, but I did the arm test! I am the best repairer in the entire puppet city. This is an old-style puppet with a new-style arm. Can Fei be the same as her match arm? This is innovation, innovation!"
Mirror: "..."
He was about to die of anger, why are all the businessmen in Puppet City like this, they thought he met a good puppet!
Xing Ye is very calm, he has long been mentally prepared, how could such unlucky rebellious players like them encounter a pie in the sky.
Xing Ye said before that all pies are a disguise for a trap, and whether you decide to step into this trap depends on whether you can bear the consequences.
For Xing Ye, the arm is the most important at present, he must be able to use the repainting pen, because the initial skills were cheated, Xing Ye is willing.
"I don't have raw ore, you know that." Xing Ye said.
The owner of the engine oil store knew he didn't have raw ore and had been asking him to keep the books for years, as must old Nick, who always recycles scraps.
"Of course I know you don't have any money. You still owe me 29 raw ores," said old Nick. How can you not give the money immediately."
It feels like old Nick is lying on the ground and cheating, he doesn't have the image of a first maintenance engineer at all.
Cao Qian wanted to tear old Nick up, but the big mirror also raised her small green fist. Xing Ye stretched out his new arm to stop the two of them, and said to Old Nick, "Uncle Nick, you want me to do it!" What?"
Old Nick smiled "hehe" and said, "Young man, you have owed me money for so many years, and I am kind enough not to charge you interest, right? You should have gone out to find raw ore a long time ago. Not working, right?"
He made sense, Xing Ye listened quietly.
"My son, who is lazy and lazy, has never dug raw ore. I plan to let him do it, but he has no experience. Can you **** him there?"
Little Nick, who was leaning on the chair boredly, was taken aback: "Huh? Me?"
"Nonsense, of course it's you brat!" There was a steam hole under the old Nick's beard, and when he got angry, he would emit steam, blowing his beard high, "How many years have you been at home? Go out and do something!"
"Okay, I'll go, I'll go, but I don't know where the original mine is." Little Nick said.
"I have a map here, hehehe." Old Nick's laughter made people feel a little uneasy.
When he took out the map, Xing Ye felt alert.
Raw ore can be mined by every puppet. Cao Qian also tried to mine with everyone at the gate of the city before. Little Nick used the excuse of not knowing the location. Old Nick can say that the puppet who is in debt will take you. Go, why is he taking a map?
Unless the mine that old Nick wants them to go to is not the mine where ordinary puppets go.
Crisis means opportunity, his arm recovers and he can use skills, so it's good to go on an adventure.
Old Nick took out the map and pointed it out to Xing Ye and Junior Nick: "Out of the city, just a short walk to the south is the river outside, and you can see the mine after walking along the river for five or seven hours. The mine is far away, so there is no way to come back that day, and it is dangerous outside the city at night, so remember to bring your weapons. I have three fire/guns and 30 rounds of ammunition here, so take them with you."
Puppet City opens its gates in the morning and closes at night. Almost everyone who goes to the mine can go back and forth on the same day. What kind of mine is Old Nick talking about, with such a remote location?
Xing Ye looked at the map, shook his head and said, "This is not a mine."
He should know the location of the mine, and it is impossible not to doubt the address provided by Old Nick.
"Ahem," old Nick coughed in embarrassment, "I'm a maintenance engineer, of course there are mines that other people don't know about. There are regulations for the original mines that everyone knows outside the city. A puppet You can only mine one piece of raw ore a day. When you go there to pay off your debts, of course you go to an unlimited mine. You often go out of the city with sacks and come back with a whole bag of waste. The city gate officials have known you for a long time. I won't doubt you when I see you come back with a lot of things."
So that's the case, no wonder old Nick wanted to trick him, because he took a fancy to Xing Ye's identity as a pickpocket and wanted to use him as a cover.
For the time being, I don't understand why the official raw ore field restricts the amount of mining, and I don't know what the raw ore is for, and it can be used as a currency exchange.
At present, we can only confirm one thing. Informal mines must be very dangerous. Are there still few mining accidents in modern society?
With the luck of my life-defying camp, it is impossible not to encounter disasters.
But he really needs the raw ore now, and there may be other clues in this mine.
"Okay." Xing Ye agreed.
"Then I will go too." The big mirror said quickly.
His body is made of metal, tall and strong, Xing Ye is thin and small, he can protect Xing Ye.
Xing Ye acquiesced, and he didn't feel at ease leaving the mirror alone at home. If something happened, he was worried that he would not be able to bring the mirror back to the system space.
"Then I'll go too," said Cao Qian who was listening silently, "Old Nick, help me weld the metal on the outside of my body, and I can go to mine to pay you back."
"This..." Old Nick frowned, "I'm not a philanthropist, why should I help you?"
"Didn't you say before that you need 30 pieces of raw ore for soldering iron sheet? I will pay 50 yuan, and the extra 20 yuan will be calculated as interest. After I can mine, I will mine one every day and give it to you, and it will be done in fifty days Paying off the debt is better than not even daring to go to the mine now." Cao Qian said decisively.
Xing Ye was a little surprised, Cao Qian spent money generously, who gave her the confidence?
Old Nick hesitated when he heard 50 yuan of raw ore. Who doesn't love money?
At this time, there was a knock on the door: "Uncle Nick, I will pick up my sister and pay the bill by the way. Is her arm repaired?"
Cao Qian's second sister knocked on the door and walked in, the mirror instantly became tense, this is a player!
Besides, he is a player who obeys fate, and against fate, he will not have such a lucky value that can overwhelm the whole city.
"It's Miss Linda." Seeing the second sister, Old Nick narrowed his eyes and rubbed his hands together, "I have something to discuss with you. Your sister wants..."
He stated Cao Qian's request in detail. Of course, he did not mention the illegal mine, but said that the stickman wanted to stick iron sheets all over his body in the form of debt. A family member vouches.
Old Nick's words made Xing Ye and Cao Qian's faces look ugly... Oh, they won't change their faces, and they are very unhappy psychologically.
Second sister Linda is a follower, she might doubt Cao Qian's identity because of this incident.
"I won't make a guarantee casually," said the second sister, "I'm so beautiful and popular, what if someone plots to do something wrong? She wants to change her body, just sign with her."
Well, a sister who has no sister love.
Looking at Cao Qian's dry body in the mirror, he was very anxious. Seeing that the matter was about to fall apart, he quickly said, "What about me? Can I be a guarantor?"
"Who are you?" Old Nick rolled his eyelids, "Do you have money? What guarantee do you use?"
Mirror's real identity is rich and beautiful, but now he is just an outsider who has borrowed a puppet to return to life, with nothing, and his body is still rusty.
Xing Ye wanted to stop the mirror, but the stupid mirror said: "My body is made of metal, can it be worth some money?"
He has been observing that as long as the puppet is made of metal, it is very popular. His whole body is made of copper, and it is still a mirror, so it should be very valuable.
"Well..." Old Nick looked up and down the mirror, "Bronze mirrors are really rare, and they are still such a big piece of copper, and the body is a bit old, but it's good to remove the rust... It's worth 10 raw ore, not bad. 40 of them."
After speaking, he glanced at the second sister Linda, an old puppet.
The second sister didn't care about them, and said boringly: "Don't change if you don't have money, I won't care about you."
Xing Ye thinks differently. If he is Linda, in order to investigate Cao Qian's identity, he will definitely agree to be a guarantee, and maybe he will get important clues. Anyway, this body is pursued by many people, and it should not be difficult to obtain 50 raw ores. Why not be a favor?
This player has a lot of personality. From her, Xing Ye can't see any purpose.
Teacher Li, Wu Yu, and Di Kuang in the previous world, including the seemingly gentle Teacher Ding, all had a strong purpose, wanting to obtain information, to survive, to win, and to integrate into a certain society. In a team, each player has his own ideas and strong personalities.
But Miss Linda, like an ordinary girl, went to an oil spa while waiting for her sister to repair her body, and now she is very wise and coldly rejecting Old Nick's unreasonable request.
Why is this happening?
The mirror said again: "Then I will give you all the raw ore I got out of the city together this time, so you can solder the iron sheet for her!"
Cao Qian looked at the mirror suspiciously, she thought the mirror was an ordinary doll, how could there be such a silly doll?
Xing Ye knew that the mirror wanted to help Cao Qian, and the mirror knew that Cao Qian was the main force in the team, so he had to help Cao Qian.
"No, no," Old Nick shook his head frantically, "It's not worth it, and I'm not a philanthropist."
Xing Ye owed a lot of debts to Old Nick, and it was not worth as a guarantee at all. Facing this kind of poor situation, he had no good way. After all, what he was good at was making money out of nothing. Create money.
The scene was at a stalemate for a while, when little Nick suddenly said: "Dad, help them, I will go to mine the raw ore."
"Well..." Hearing what his son said, Old Nick said unhappily, "We are in business!"
"But they still have to **** me to the mine. Isn't one more doll more strength?" Little Nick said.
This sounds very... Xing Ye looked at Little Nick, suspecting that he was also a player.
Little Nick persuaded Old Nick, he still cared about his son's safety, so he took out a piece of paper, wrote down the IOU and guarantee, and said to Cao Qian and the mirror: "You two put your fingerprints, if the due date If you don't, I'll tear you down to the core."
The mirror believed Cao Qian and Xing Ye, obediently pressed their fingerprints on the paper.
Cao Qian looked at him strangely, full of doubts in her heart.
It takes three hours to weld the iron sheet for Cao Qian. It is a big job. The old Nick asked everyone to wait outside. He went to work in the professional maintenance room inside, and asked the young Nick to go in to observe and learn.
Xing Ye was a little worried about Cao Qian, but at this moment he could only endure it.
After Old Nick, Junior Nick and Cao Qian entered the repair room, only Xing Ye, Second Sister and Mirror were left in the repair shop lobby.
The second sister lay lazily on the maintenance chair, and said boredly: "We have to wait another three hours."
Xing Ye watched her silently.
"Don't look at it," the second sister waved her hand, "I'm a player who obeys fate, and I can see that you must be a player who is against fate if you are so unlucky, and you and my sister should be on the same team. Not interested."
Xing Ye didn't expect Linda to pierce the window paper first. Why did she do this? Aren't you afraid that you will immediately use the QR code to attack her for points?
Linda is also a smart person. She said directly: "My initial skills can defend against some attacks, so I am not afraid of your sneak attack. I took the initiative to expose my identity just to express my position."
