Chapter 129 exposed (first update to greet the cute host You You)
Because of the invasion of foreign enemies, the negotiations between Bentley and Mountain Master had to be temporarily suspended.
The final rough agreement was that Bentley would receive 41,000 yuan from Silver Coin, and then the matter was revealed.
Mountain Master feels very bad about this request, but can't refute it yet.
In the end, he could only say with a wry smile, "Then can you tell the public that... you gave me a face and exposed this matter?"
Although he is low-key, he is a real scene person - the key is not to let Heavenly Works know the details, right? Bentley looked at him as if he was mentally retarded, "You want face, but we don't?"
"Then tell me," Mountain Master simply lay down, "What else do you want?"
Bentley was about to speak, but there was a noise outside. Fallen's team was attacking Hou Jing.
So he only left one sentence, "I don't want Silver Coin, I want cultivation resources."
Seeing him leaving in a hurry, Mountain Master frowned and muttered in a low voice, "Resources for cultivation..."
The Fallen attacking Hou Jing this time exceeded 3,000.
Unlike Fallen of Hong-character Settlement Area, Fallen of Tian-character District is very well organized and quite large in scale.
This is a very good condition for Tian-character District. Fallen usually hangs out among the crowd, but once activated, it must be united.
And their equipment is also excellent. There are more than 3,000 Fallen, and there are actually more than ten mechas.
However, in front of the behemoth Hou Jing, this small amount of troops is still not enough.
Defense Corps and City Garrison came out together, and other adventurers volunteered to help. In one day, they eliminated this group of Fallen.
There were estimated to be more than a hundred Fallen, escaping in bits and pieces.
The management of Hou Jing was furious. This was the first time in recent decades that Fallen attacked a big city like Four Capitals and One Metropolis.
Is it because we, Hou Jing, are easy to bully? Those Fallen who escaped must be captured! A large number of City Garrison, Defense Corps and volunteers were sent out to carry out blanket investigations in the entire Hou Jing area.
Ordinarily, with the strength of Bentley and Qu Jianlei, they are definitely qualified to be volunteers, but neither of them participated in the battle or search.
Qu Jianlei actually wanted to go - when he was captured by Fallen, other adventurers saved him.
However, Bentley said that there are too many people qualified to participate in Hou Jing, and we are strangers.
If a new face participates in this kind of battle, there will definitely be trouble, the cooperation will not be adequate, and the ability may be exposed.
On the night when the battle ended, City Garrison inspected their residence.
At noon the next day, another wave of Defense Corps came, also checking the residence.
After two inspections, Qu Jianlei and Hua Xiezhi were completely exposed to everyone, and they couldn't hide them no matter what.
However, neither City Garrison nor Defense Corps showed any hostility towards him. The reason... needless to say.
Seriously, some people were a little curious about his appearance and couldn't help but ask, "How old are you that you have such a strong repair ability?"
Then someone immediately grabbed this person and stopped him from asking any more questions.
——Although she is young, she is at least Modified Warrior level. How can you tolerate being so offensive?
Qu Jianlei's address was exposed, but... not many people came to ask for repairs.
A guy who thought he was unambiguous came to ask for repairs, but was blocked by Hua Xiezhi - for this kind of thing, you go to Terry.
This person didn't dare to persist, so he turned around and left.
Two days later, Qu Jianlei's residence underwent a third inspection, this time a joint inspection.
The leader is actually Defense Corps boss Stahl! Stahl's attitude was quite good, but he still asked, "With your strength, why don't you help destroy Fallen?"
Qu Jianlei's answer was straightforward, "Outside of the maintenance industry, I am a completely new person, which is not conducive to mutual trust and cooperation."
Stahl Diandian nodded and agreed with this answer, "During the battle, some mechas were damaged. Can you help me take a look?"
"No problem," Qu Jianlei said simply, "Just give me a token amount of transportation fare... it can be considered as my modest contribution."
We should indeed have this kind of awareness when dealing with Fallen.
Stahl asked with great interest, "Do you still need transportation fees?"
"This is respect for knowledge," Qu Jianlei only said this - he had no choice but to accept death.
Stahl rolled his eyes and curled his lips silently.
When Bentley came back, I heard that Qu Jianlei agreed so much and didn't say anything, but judging from his expression, he seemed a little disapproving.
The next day, Qu Jianlei actually went to Defense Corps, and only charged Silver Coin one hundred yuan for the carriage fee. He was busy for two full days.
The reason why he has been busy for so long is that in addition to testing, he also took the initiative to do some maintenance work.
However, he feels that he has paid a lot, but others may not see it that way.
There were also maintenance technicians from other companies involved in the repair. I heard that he earned one hundred yuan Silver Coin in two days, which made me feel unbalanced.
The maintenance engineer did not get angry at him, but asked other Defense Corps members, "Is this a Rank A or Rank B maintenance technician?"
"Can Rank A do this kind of work?" Member Defense Corps asked, "But this one... may not be rated."
They also heard that Xue Mantian of Heavenly Works had made things difficult for this person and wanted to see his ID.
"Then the price is too harsh, isn't it?" The maintenance man who asked the question was dissatisfied.
The damage to this batch of mechas was mainly due to the previous battle with Fallen. He had not originally planned to make much money.
But someone was asking for such an exorbitant price. He felt that he was too kind, so he found Repairer's Association.
Repairer's Association has heard of Jian Lei - in fact, Heavenly Works's Rank A maintenance engineer is also the vice president here.
President Dai Xingyan didn't want to be troublesome, but when the maintenance technicians in the association reported problems, she couldn't just sit back and watch.
So she found Stahl and asked the other party if he had verified Jian Lei's certificate, and what did Silver Coin say about the one hundred yuan.
Stahl was also quite helpless. He said that he had never seen his ID, but he felt that the fare was already very low.
Dai Xingyan It wasn't until he heard "respect for knowledge" that his eyes lit up, "Did he really say that?"
"Aren't you asking for money?" Stahl replied disapprovingly, "However, I heard that their cultivation does cost money."
"This is not a question of money at all!" Dai Xingyan said simply, "Maintenance engineers should have this kind of awareness."
"By the way, where does he live now? I want to visit him."
On this day, Bentley rarely went out because his cultivation method seemed to be working.
He was practicing cross-legged, with many sensors connected to his body, while Qu Jianlei was observing from the side.
While observing, someone knocked on the door, and at Buduo, Hua Xiezhi came over and said, "A beautiful woman is looking for you."
"Beauty..." Qu Jianlei glanced at her helplessly. He was still in a precarious situation. How could he consider personal issues?
But he also knew that Hua Xiezhi was very careful about things. "I'm busy right now. What do I do?"
"President Repairer's Association," Hua Xiezhi replied, "He said he has something to discuss with you."
Qu Jianlei After thinking about it, he stood up and said, "Please help me keep an eye on it. If there is any abnormality, remember to call me."
He walked out of the room and opened the courtyard door. There was indeed a young woman on the opposite side, pushing a motorcycle. Her appearance looked... passable.
But he didn't think that the other party could be called a beauty because the other party was relatively strong.
He feels that the aesthetics here at Wasteland are somewhat different from those at Blue Star - beauty is based on strength.
This may be related to Wasteland's environment. The stronger the person, the easier it is to survive, but Qu Jianlei himself doesn't like it.
But since we are talking about serious matters, beauty or not is not the important point, "I heard that something happened to President Dai?"
"Let's go in and talk," Dai Xingyan was not polite and pushed the motorcycle directly into the yard, "How old are you?"
Qu Jianlei didn't stop him. He closed the courtyard door first, thought about it and then replied, "Less than thirty years old."
Only eighteen years old, less than thirty... there's nothing wrong with her.
"So young?" Dai Xingyan glanced at him in surprise, then set up the motorcycle.
"President Dai You are also very young," Qu Jianlei replied casually, "You have ambitions but not years."
"My situation..." Dai Xingyan stopped mid-sentence.
Then she asked again, "I heard that you are Modified Warrior... doesn't it cost a lot to practice?"
Qu Jianlei glanced at her speechlessly, "Are you in a superior position and feel you have the right to ask me, or do you want to keep it simple?"
These words were very rude, indicating that he was already a little unhappy.
But Dai Xingyan really doesn't care. Modified Warrior is so high up, who can still lose his temper? She said seriously, "I have a way to make money here. Are you interested in hearing about it?"
Qu Jianlei was startled when he heard this, and then Diandian nodded, "Of course... Come, please come to the house."
After inviting the person to sit down in the hall, he took out the homemade water heater and poured the person a glass of boiled water.
"Is this... boiling water?" Dai Xingyan was a little surprised, "Your living habits are very good."
"Not bad," Qu Jianlei replied casually. In fact, he was a little regretful that there was no tea here.
Dai Xingyan, however, rolled his eyes, becoming more and more certain that the other party should be born from Central City.
Don't say Central City to have Modified Warrior. Just talk about these little habits that you carry with you, which means that the other person has a good background.
"It's a pity that we don't have tangerine peel," Dai Xingyan said with regret. "It tastes good when brewed with boiling water... Can I get you some later?"
Qu Jianlei rolled his eyes, "Are there any leaves that can be brewed? Baked and processed."
"Eh?" Dai Xingyan looked at him in surprise, "Tea... have you ever drank it?"
"Tea?" Qu Jianlei was also shocked when he heard this. This is definitely a Chinese pronunciation.
He suppressed his curiosity and said, "Can you do it?"
"This... is a bit difficult," Dai Xingyan shook his head with regret, "It's very rare in Central City."
She did not use "above" to refer to it, but directly said the three words "Central City".
Qu Jianlei blinked, "Are you familiar with Central City?"

Chapter 130 New ways to make money (Second update to greet fans of the cute duck blood)
Dai Xingyan shook his head slightly and asked again instead of answering Qu Jianlei's question.
"How well do you master the theory of mechanical maintenance?"
Qu Jianlei hesitated for a moment, but decided to be more modest, "It's not particularly bad, mainly because I read more books."
Dai Xingyan asked directly, "Do you have any research or... theory of your own?"
"Well... I have some ideas," Qu Jianlei replied uncertainly.
The original technology of Wasteland is definitely stronger than that of Blue Star, but civilizations with different development processes cannot take the same path.
He thought that by combining some of Blue Star's ideas, he could still sort out something Xi Lai, "I just don't know if it's suitable?"
Dai Xingyan thought that the other party was worried about leaking some of Central City's secrets.
She said simply, "I hope you can write some articles, and the direction of submission is Central City...Tian-character District has no publications."
Tian-character District No publications? Qu Jianlei was stunned again when he heard this, "Don't the following seven Residential Area have any publications?"
"Of course," Dai Xingyan replied without hesitation, "Originally Tian-character District wanted to start a few publications, but..."
She didn't continue, but it goes without saying. Do you really think the "information barrier" is fake?
"Submit..." Qu Jianlei pondered for a moment. He was a little excited. Making money like this was what he yearned for most.
However, there is another question, "Is this thing profitable?"
"The royalties won't be much," Dai Xingyan replied seriously, "But we Hou Jing will have subsidies!"
Four Capitals and One Metropolis's competition is everywhere, and Hou Jing's academic performance is relatively slim.
Hou Jing has strong economic strength and orderly inheritance, but precisely because of this, it is difficult for technical talents to grow.
Occasionally, if a few talents emerge, Tai Du will spend a lot of money to poach them. After all, Tai Du is the center in Tian-character District.
Hou Jing cannot fully compete with Tai Du, but after Dai Xingyan took office, he applied for special-purpose funds.
Her request for Qu Jianlei is: as long as you put up the logo of "Hou Jing", we will provide subsidies if the manuscript is submitted.
No matter where you are from, as long as you identify yourself as Hou Jing.
As for the possibility that the other party will be poached by Tai Du, Dai Xingyan thinks the possibility is very low and there is no need to consider it at the moment.
First of all, there is still a question mark about the strength of Jian Lei. It cannot be said that its practical ability is strong, but it is theoretically strong.
Secondly, this person is at least Modified Warrior, but he willingly lives in the suburbs, which shows that he doesn't attach much importance to treatment.
"How to calculate the subsidy?" Qu Jianlei asked with interest. If the subsidy is large enough, believe it or not, I will write Hou Jing bankrupt?
Dai Xingyan answered without hesitation, "It depends on the quantity and the type of journal it is published in..."
Professional articles are published here, Buduo is different from Blue Star - it is not surprising that similar mechanisms appear when civilization develops to a certain stage.
Qu Jianlei After doing the math, the subsidy you can get for a one-page article is about twenty to one hundred yuan Silver Coin.
However, for top journals, it is not so easy to write a manuscript, and he does not have a good grasp of the content in it.
So he said, "Well, how about you help me submit the manuscript and decide which one to choose?"
"Shall I vote for you?" Dai Xingyan was overjoyed when he heard this.
She repeatedly emphasized that she should wear the label "Hou Jing" because she was afraid that this score would not count as Hou Jing - she was Central City.
If she helped deliver the manuscript, the credit would be too solid to be solid. "You believe me so much?"
"Shouldn't I believe you?" Qu Jianlei gave her a very strange look, "Will you take it as your own?"
"How is this possible?" Dai Xingyan waved his hands hurriedly, snatching Modified Warrior's research results. Is it because he thinks he will live longer?
Seriously, she was a little curious, "Are there many such things?"
Qu Jianlei spread his hands and replied a little helplessly, "I have never submitted a manuscript. If you ask me, who should I ask?"
Dai Xingyan asked in confusion, "In this case, how could you have thought of this possibility?"
Is this hard to imagine? Qu Jianlei was speechless. He really didn't hear too much about this kind of scandal in Blue Star.
After thinking for a moment, he replied, "Don't take human nature too seriously."
"That makes sense!" Dai Xingyan gave a thumbs up, "I find that you are very smart about the problem."
Qu Jianlei smiled disapprovingly, "When can I submit my manuscript?"
"Any time," Dai Xingyan replied without hesitation, "Just go to the Repairer's Association to find me."
"Okay," Qu Jianlei Diandian said, "By the way, can you get the training resources?"
He had already heard Bentley say that Tian Gong Repair Shop used his cultivation resources to make amends and thought it was a good idea.
If he makes money through daily maintenance, it is unlikely that he will propose such conditions, and ordinary forces will not be able to obtain training resources.
Therefore, in the near future, he will not be short of Silver Coin. He will have to find some big forces to acquire cultivation resources.
"Cultivation resources..." Dai Xingyan frowned in embarrassment, "I'll work hard, how much do you need?"
"Just exchange the subsidy for training resources," Qu Jianlei's request was not high, "I'm not short of money."
Dai Xingyan heard that Diandian nodded. If this is the request, it is indeed not high. Dai Family still has some energy.
But her curiosity aroused again, "Are you lacking training resources?"
This question is still a simple matter, but Qu Jianlei has become accustomed to her way of speaking.
To be honest, he prefers this direct communication method.
"Is it normal for this kind of situation to happen? For example, we may have provoked someone..."
"For another example, we are undergoing some kind of test... what do you think the reason is?"
"I don't want to guess anymore," Dai Xingyan shook his head simply, "So there are so many possibilities?"
You obviously haven't read the online novel! Qu Jianlei Diandian nodded, "Of course."
"Okay, that's settled," Dai Xingyan Diandian said, "How long will it take you to write it?"
Before Qu Jianlei could answer, Hua Xiezhi rushed in, "Well... there's a little problem."
"I know," Qu Jianlei Diandian nodded and looked at Dai Xingyan again, "If it's quick, it will only take a few days."
"How many days?" Dai Xingyan was stunned when he heard this, "Isn't it calculated by month?"
When she came to her senses, the other party had left, so she asked Hua Xiezhi.
"Jian Lei, does this person... like to brag?"
"This question is very rude," Hua Xiezhi frowned, but finally said, "He has always been conservative in his speech."
"That's great," Dai Xingyan picked up the cup and drank the water in one breath, "Okay, I'm leaving then."
However, she did not expect that it would be a month later when she received the manuscript.
Qu Jianlei's main focus was on helping Bentley calculate the appropriate exercises.
An accident did occur this time, but Bentley was not greatly affected, and even he didn't care much about it.
Compared to a few months ago when things were constantly going wrong, it's already much better now, isn't it? Qu Jianlei gave full play to the spirit of pursuing and fighting, and finally perfected the method after ten days.
He spent another five days to roughly confirm that there were no big flaws in this technique.
Before he could celebrate, he was pestered by Hua Xiezhi, "Where's mine?"
"Don't rush," Qu Jianlei was speechless, "It will be fine soon, but you need to borrow a Rank B Crystal from Bentley."
When helping Bentley deduce, he improved a lot of relevant knowledge, and it is not difficult to deduce another technique.
But he needs crystallized energy, but he will definitely not open his mouth to Bentley directly.
"That's no problem," Hua Xiezhi replied confidently, "He told me, if you need anything, just ask."
After all, teammates are different after all. If someone else dared to open his mouth like that, Bentley might just kill someone.
But the facts proved that he was indeed not lying. As soon as Hua Xiezhi opened his mouth, he lent a crystal.
At the same time, he also said, "If one is not enough, come to me to borrow... you can borrow up to three."
Next, Qu Jianlei lived up to Hua Xiezhi's trust. He spent ten days deducing new exercises.
This is a practice method that has not been injected with Modified Potion, so it will definitely not be that mature.
So Hua Xiezhi, like the previous Bentley, started a career of vomiting blood and gas problems.
After that, it took Qu Jianlei a full two months to figure out a relatively complete technique, but that's a story for another day.
After Hua Xiezhi started trying to practice cultivation, he finally had time to think about what kind of article he should write and submit.
There is not too little to write about, but... too much!
But there are some things that cannot be written carelessly, such as the controllable Muhai fusion. You really cannot be willful in this regard.
Qu Jianlei has seriously considered this issue before and carefully verified it in various publications.
However, there is really no relevant content. Let alone the fusion of Muhai, there is not even fission - not at all!
Qu Jianlei is not sure what happened here.
Maybe... it's because the unit energy density of Energy Block is strong enough, so there's no need to think about new paths?
But Qu Jianlei is more inclined to another guess: information barriers, of course, should be comprehensive!
Especially this publication can be seen on Residential Area below, how could it not be controlled?
So he thought about it carefully and planned to write some unique insights on the sensing method of the sensor.
It is said that the sensing technology of Blue Star is far behind Wasteland in terms of hardware.
But perhaps it is precisely because of the backward hardware that Blue Star is really not inferior to Wasteland in certain algorithms of the sensor.
For Blue Star people, this kind of behavior has a euphemistic expression, called "finding another way."
If you are strong enough, wouldn't it be good to go Great Dao?
After all, this is forced out of it - who would want to use an abacus to take the square root if they had a calculator?
There should be very few people Wasteland considering this method of squeezing potential.
Qu Jianlei After thinking about it carefully, I feel that there shouldn't be much problem with my idea.
