"Alright," Old Nick patted his arm and said after helping Xing Ye do an arm test, "It's very strong and durable, with 5 pieces of raw ore."
"What?" The big mirror quietly stuck in the corner broke directly, "Didn't you say it's free?"
Old Nick said very naturally: "Of course my son repairs are free, but I do the arm test! I am the best repairman in the entire puppet city. This is an old puppet with a new arm. The test fee and her Can that match arm be the same? This is innovation, innovation!"
mirror:"..."
He is about to be pissed to death. The businessmen in Puppet City are like this. He thought he had a good puppet!
Xing Ye was very calm. He had been mentally prepared for a long time. How could such a hapless rebellious player like them encounter a pie in the sky.
Xing Ye said before that all pies are the disguise of traps. 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 the moment. He must be able to use the redrawing pen, because Xing Ye was willing to be cheated by his initial skills.
"I don't have a raw ore, you know it," Xing Ye said.
The owner of the oil shop knows that he has no raw ore, and he has been keeping accounts for many years. Old Nick, who always recycles waste products, must know too.
"Of course I know you have no money. You still owe me 29 raw ore," Old Nick said. "But you can pay back slowly, but today's is not good. Today is my son's first single job. How could he not? Give money immediately."
It feels like Old Nick is about to lie on the ground shamelessly, without the image of a first maintenance technician.
Cao Qian wanted to step forward and tear up Old Nick. The big mirror also raised his small patina fist. Xing Ye stretched out his new arm to stop the two of them and said to Old Nick, "Uncle Nick, what do you want me to do?"
Old Nick "hehe" smiled: "Young man, you owe me money for so many years. I have not charged you interest and have been very kind, right? You should have gone out to find raw mines long ago. Even if you want to change your body, you shouldn't stop working. right?"
He made sense, and Xing Ye listened quietly.
"My son who is delicious and lazy has never gone to dig a raw mine. I plan to let him mine, but he has no experience. Can you escort him?"
Little Nick, who was leaning on his chair boredly, was taken aback: "Huh? Me?"
"Nonsense, of course it's you brat!" Old Nick has a steam hole under his beard. When he gets angry, he steams and blows his beard high. "How many years have you been at home? It's time to go out and do something." !"
"Well, 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 laugh made people feel a little uneasy.
When he took out the map, Xing Ye was alert.
Every puppet can mine the original mine. Cao Qian also tried to mine with everyone at the gate of the city. Little Nick used the excuse of not knowing the location. Old Nick can say that the puppet man in debt can take you there. Why He wants to get a map?
Unless the mine that Old Nick wants them to go to is not the mine that ordinary puppets go to.
Crisis means a turnaround, and his arms can be restored to use skills, so it's good to explore and explore.
Old Nick took out the map and pointed it to Xing Ye and Little Nick: "Out of the city, a short walk to the south is the river outside. You can see the mine after walking along the river for five or seven hours. Comparison of mines It's far away. There's definitely no way to come back that day. It's more dangerous outside the city at night. Remember to bring your weapons. I have three muskets and 30 rounds of ammunition here. You can bring them."
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? The location is so remote?
Xing Ye looked at the map for a while, shook his head and said, "This is not a mine."
He should know that the mine is located. It is impossible not to doubt the address provided by Old Nick.
"Ahem," Old Nick coughed embarrassingly, "I am a maintenance technician. Of course there are mines that other people don't know. The original mines outside the city have regulations, and a puppet can only work a day. Mining a piece of raw ore, when you can go there to pay off your debts, of course it is to go to an unlimited mine. You often go out of the city with sacks and bring a whole bag of waste back. The city gate officer has known you for a long time and saw you take it. I won't doubt you when I come back with a lot of things."
So, it's no wonder that Old Nick wanted to cheat him because he was fancy Xing Ye's ragged identity and wanted to use him as a cover.
For the time being, don't understand why the official ore mine limits the amount of mining, nor do know what the ore is useful for, it can be exchanged for currency.
At present, only one point can be determined. Informal mines must be very dangerous. Are there still few mine disasters in modern society?
With the luck of one's own rebellious camp, it is impossible not to encounter disaster.
But he really needs raw ore now, and there may be other clues in this mine.
"Good." Xing Ye agreed.
"Then I will go too." The big mirror said hastily.
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 worry about leaving the mirror alone at home. Once something happened, he worried that he could no longer bring the mirror back to the system space.
"Then I'll go too," Cao Qian, who was listening in silence, said suddenly, "Old Nick, help me weld metal outside of my body, and I can go mining and pay you back."
"This..." Old Nick frowned, "I'm not a philanthropist, why should I help you?"
"Did you not talk about the need for 30 raw ore for soldering iron sheets? I pay 50 yuan, and the extra 20 yuan will be calculated as interest. After I can mine, I will pick one every day and give it to you, and the debt will be paid off in 50 days. , It's better than it is now that I don't even dare to go to the mine." Cao Qian said decisively.
Xing Ye was a little surprised. Cao Qian was very generous in spending money. Who gave her the confidence?
When he heard about 50 raw ore, Old Nick hesitated. 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!
Moreover, he is a submissive player, and he will not have such a lucky value to dump the whole city.
"It's Miss Lin Da," Old Nick narrowed his eyes when he saw the second sister, rubbing his hands, "I need to discuss something with you, your sister wants..."
He stated Cao Qian's request one by one. Of course, he didn't mention the illegal mines. Instead, he said that Stickman wanted to stick iron sheets all over his body in the form of debt. He was worried that Stickman would not be able to repay the money and he needed a family member to do it. guarantee.
Old Nick's words made Xing Ye and Cao Qian's faces unsightly...Oh, they wouldn't change their faces, and they were psychologically unhappy.
The second sister Lin Da is a submissive player, she might doubt Cao Qian's identity because of this incident.
"I don't want to make a guarantee casually," said the second sister. "I'm so beautiful and popular. What if someone plots something wrong? If she wants to change body, you can sign with her."
Well, a sister who has no sister love.
Looking at Cao Qian's dry body in the mirror, he was too anxious. Seeing that things were about to fall apart, he quickly said, "What about me? Can I be a guarantor?"
"Who are you?" Old Nick rolled his wooden eyelids. "Are you rich? What guarantee do you use?"
The true identity of the mirror is rich and handsome, but now he is just an outsider who is resurrected by his spouse, with nothing, his body is still rusty.
Xing Ye wanted to stop the mirror, but the silly mirror said, "My body is made of metal, can it be worth some money?"
He has been observing that as long as the puppets made of metal are very popular, his whole body is copper, or a mirror, which should be very valuable.
"Hmm..." Old Nick looked up and down the mirror. "Bronze mirrors are really rare. They are still such a large piece of copper. They are a bit old, but they are good for rust removal... It's worth 10 raw ore, it's 40 short. ."
After speaking, his eyes glanced at the second sister Lin Da, an old puppet.
The second sister didn't care about them, and said boringly: "If you don't have money, don't change it. I won't care about you."
Xing Ye thinks in another way, if he is Lin Da, in order to investigate the identity of Cao Qian, he will definitely agree to guarantee, maybe he will get important clues. Anyway, this body is pursued by many people. It shouldn't be difficult to get 50 ore. Why not be a favor?
This player is very personal. From her, Xing Ye can't see any purpose.
Teachers Li, Wu Yu, Di Kuang from the last world, including the seemingly gentle teacher Ding, they all have a strong purpose, want to get information, want to survive, want to win, and want to join a certain team. Each player has his own ideas and a strong personality.
But Miss Lin Da, like an ordinary girl, while waiting for her sister to repair her body, she ran to have a motor oil spa, and now she is very wise and indifferent to refuse Old Nick's unreasonable request.
Why is this happening?
The mirror said again: "Then I will give you all the ore that I got when I went out of the city this time, so you can solder the iron sheet to her!"
Cao Qian looked in 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 must help Cao Qian.
"No, no," Old Nick shook his head frantically. "It's not a good deal. I'm not a philanthropist."
Xing Ye owed a lot of debts to Old Nick. There was no guarantee value at all. In the face of such poverty, he had no good way. After all, he was good at making money with money, not creating money out of thin air.
The scene was deadlocked, and then Little Nick suddenly said: "Dad, help them, I will go and mine the ore."
"Hmm..." Old Nick said unhappily when he heard his son's words, "We are in business!"
"But they still have to escort me to the mine. Isn't one more doll more power?" Little Nick said.
This sounded 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 the guarantee, and said to Cao Qian and the mirror: "You two should press your fingerprints. If it is not due, , I will tear you apart so that only the core remains."
The mirror believed Cao Qian and Xing Ye, and obediently pressed his handprints on the paper.
Cao Qian looked at him weirdly, filled with suspicion.
It takes three hours to weld the iron sheet for Cao Qian. It is a big job. Old Nick asked everyone to wait outside. He went to the professional repair room inside to work, and asked Little Nick to go in and learn together.
Xing Ye was a little worried about Cao Qian, but could only endure it at this time.
After Old Nick, Little Nick and Cao Qian entered the repair room, only Xing Ye, the second sister and the mirror were left in the repair shop's lobby.
The second sister lay lazily on the maintenance chair and said boredly: "I have to wait another three hours."
Xing Ye observed her silently.
"Don't look," the second sister waved her hand, "I am a submissive player, and I can see that you must be a rebellious player so unlucky, and I should be in the same team with my sister, but I am not interested in you. "
Xing Ye did not expect Lin Da to puncture this layer of window paper first. Why would she do this? Don't you be afraid that you will immediately use the QR code to attack her to exchange points?
Lin Da is also a smart person, she said directly: "My initial skills can defend against some attacks, so I'm not afraid of your sneak attacks. I take the initiative to break my identity just to express my position."
