Chapter 117: Fame and fortune (first update to congratulate the cute master Purple Flame)

Bentley heard this, but his expression changed slightly, "How come I didn't know that his reputation is so famous?"

The other person replied, "The main reason is that someone recognizes him... I can't say who it is specifically. Anyway, it's only 500 Silver Coin for a trip."

Bentley thought about it and spoke in a deep voice, "You said that after multiple inspections, how many appraisal certificates can you come up with? I want to see it with my own eyes."

"Three copies," this man was also a wonderful person, and he actually took out three appraisal certificates directly.

Bentley was really surprised. When he thought about it, this was most likely a conspiracy against Qu Jianlei.

Who would have thought that they actually took out the appraisal certificate, not only the autograph of the examiner, but also the fingerprint! He looked at it carefully for a while and determined that the identification document was not a forgery and could only be expressed.

"I will tell Jian Lei. As for whether he is willing to go or not, it is not up to me."

Qu Jianlei also felt a little weird after hearing about it, "Actually, it's a good time for you to go."

Lao Ben is half a maintenance engineer, and with Electromagnetic Attribute, it is quite appropriate to inspect the foundation.

"I also volunteered," Bentley said a little uninterested, "It's a pity that I can't help it, they only recognize you."

"Then you'll go first then, I'll go over later, show my face and leave," Qu Jianlei made the decision.

"Is it appropriate?" Bentley said seriously, "I always wonder if there might be some trap."

"It's okay," Qu Jianlei said expressionlessly, "Someone is really plotting, and hiding is not an option."

To be honest, he was really annoyed. Within a few days of this normal life, someone turned into a monster?

Only after living a life of ups and downs can we realize how precious the peace at this moment is.

Hua Xiezhi also snorted coldly, "We are sitting on nothing, and someone comes to our door without opening our eyes, so we can make up for the shortfall!"

Qu Jianlei has been taking on outside work recently, but it can only barely cover the expenses.

This is really not an exaggeration. Just one Bentley person would have to spend Rank B Crystal trying to practice cultivation and buy expensive medicine to heal his injuries.

Bentley Seeing that neither of them took it seriously, he became very proud for a moment and said, "Okay, that's it, I'll explore the way first."

The next day he went to buy medicine, but was waited there again and made an appointment to go for a test the next day.

On the day of the inspection, Bentley actually found a maintenance technician on the construction site who had signed an appraisal certificate.

He stepped forward and asked, and it turned out that this was indeed the case.

Moreover, the maintenance technician said frankly that the reason why this company asked so many people to appraise it was just for vanity! Bentley was naturally not so stupid as to believe his words. Instead, he used his own ability to test it quietly.

He could not detect all abnormalities, but within the scope of his ability, no abnormalities appeared.

That's enough! He took out Handheld Transceiver and issued the designated Secret Code.

Bentley arrived early in the morning, and Qu Jianlei arrived just before noon.

When the host saw the masked man, he knew that it was the "Master Jian Lei" who had arrived, and immediately stepped forward to greet him politely.

However, Qu Jianlei showed his arrogance - or that he was ignorant of the world and indifferent to his master's enthusiasm.

He doesn't have to disguise himself, he can just act as he is.

His attitude even angered some onlookers.

Someone spoke in a high-pitched voice, "Wear a mask on such an occasion... are you too embarrassed to see others?"

Qu Jianlei pretended not to hear it. What he was concerned about was: Are there any potential dangers?

Are there any traps behind the host's enthusiasm? The emotions of passers-by A, B, and C really did not arouse his interest. Qiucichan and defeated dogs each had their own voices, so he couldn't pay attention to them.

And his indifferent attitude made the onlookers even more dissatisfied - this is the biggest slight.

Qu Jianlei walked around the construction site for less than ten minutes, then said hello to the owner and said there is no problem here, I have to leave.

It's time for dinner. The host is really confused. I have to take care of your meal, right? Qu Jianlei just pretended not to hear anything and just went on his own.

"What the hell is this?" Someone couldn't help shouting, "Does he know who he is talking to?"

Bentley didn't speak - he didn't care about the words and deeds of the ants, he just wanted to see how the master would answer this question.

The host quickly waved his hand, "No, this guy even Fu Lan Ke dares to scold..."

The one who cursed was suddenly stunned, "Is it the one... who refunded the carriage fare?"

The refund of transportation fees was not spread from Qu Jianlei, but was actively promoted by Fu Lan Ke.

If you publicize it yourself, it's called an interesting story; if you let others spread it, it's called a scandal.

In any case, Qu Jianlei and the three of them were ready for a battle, but later they found out... they just made five hundred!

Three days later, someone else found Bentley, also wanting to test their own fresh air system.

This system is really expensive to sell and expensive to use, but it doesn't stand up... there are really people buying it.

This boss is a casino owner. He runs a high-end casino. The house must not be smoky and must be like spring all year round.

The casino's fresh air system is even more advanced than Gold Industry Center's.

I heard that the system at Jin Ye can detect a lot of problems. It is very accurate and the most important thing is that it is cheap. I couldn't help but feel excited.

"No problem," Bentley replied simply, "The carriage fee is 300, and a fault is 300."

This person was a little stunned, "Didn't you say... two hundred and twenty?"

"That's the time to build your reputation," Bentley replied matter-of-factly. "The price is not expensive now and will increase in the future."

This person was a little angry when he heard it, "Is it still going up? Then we might as well find someone from the manufacturer."

"Then go find it," Bentley replied nonchalantly, "Jian Lei It's a coincidence, here comes Hou Jing..."

"Otherwise, if you want to ask him to test him, you can't even find the door. You can't touch the level he's on."

Not to mention, Bentley You Gen has deep-seated pride, and he really speaks with his own aura.

The casino owner was also well-informed and was instantly shocked - he could tell whether the other party was really confident.

So he said simply, "This matter involves money and is quite sensitive. I can't make the decision, so I can only ask the boss for instructions."

"Then go ahead," Bentley showed no intention of giving in.

Instead, he warned the other party, "The turn of winter and summer is a good time to test the system. The requirements for heat exchange are the lowest."

"Hou Jing You are not the only one with a system. If you hesitate and won't be able to get in line, don't blame me for not reminding you."

That night, this person sent a message, saying that if the price increases, just increase the price. Can it be done tomorrow? The man who runs the casino is familiar with the boss of Gold Industry Center. He has been friends for many years. It is easy to get information.

The next day, when Qu Jianlei went to the casino for testing, he was seen by many gamblers again.

Gamblers are also curious, can a casino of this caliber allow a masked man to walk around?

The waiters and croupiers in the casino have also received instructions - if someone asks, they should all answer according to the standard answer.

The standard answer is: In order to provide you with better services, we spend a lot of money to hire people to inspect the ventilation system.

This time, Qu Jianlei detected four faults and six hidden dangers.

Because the other party's attitude was very enthusiastic, after he understood the operating rules of the equipment, he made more detailed calculations.

Finally, he gave an estimate of how long the six potentially dangerous parts would last.

The estimated time was not very accurate, and he could not guarantee it.

He just said that if it were left to him, three potentially dangerous parts would be replaced immediately, and two would be tested again after six months.

The remaining hidden danger should last for another year without any problem.

Anyway, he just pointed out the problem and gave some suggestions. As for whether the other party listened to it or not, that was none of his business.

During this inspection, he received six hundred Silver Coin, but as usual he did not accept the other party's banquet.

Business is business. If you do it as a favor, if you have a small problem next time and you want to help with it, do you need to charge a fee? Hou Jing is destined to be just one stop in his comic Tall Ones life, and there is no need to spend too much time and energy on running it.

The people at the casino were really unhappy about his rejection, thinking that this guy didn't know how to behave.

Then the news reached the casino boss.

The boss doesn't know much about "Master Jian Lei", but he knows that the old man named "Terry" has some energy.

Six hundred yuan Silver Coin is not a big deal, but the equipment you use at home is not guaranteed to last a lifetime after just one test.

So he just said, "Keep an eye on Gold Industry Center and see what the effect is."

Gold Industry Center has notified the maintenance personnel of Tai Du, saying that we need to replace some parts.

Tai Du's response is very slow and has no "customer first" concept at all - no one will die even if it is stopped for a few days in this kind of weather.

They just asked disapprovingly: Why do you think... those parts are broken? After more than ten days of procrastination, someone arrived with parts and their attitude was quite bad.

But after seeing the faulty parts removed from Thomas, the visitor was speechless and could only replace them with new ones.

During the replacement process, the visitor was still a little unconvinced, so he asked: How did you detect the fault? Of course we invited experts! Thomas didn't try to cover up Master Jian Lei, but he didn't name anyone either.

However, the manufacturer's maintenance personnel immediately became serious: Who were they invited? Can anyone use our equipment? Although Tai Du is not interested in Gold Industry Center, that is because this is an exclusive sale and there is no worry that someone can pry it away.

If someone rushes to buy and sell, the nature will be different.

This is the thinking of "customers bully the store, and the store bullies the customers": We may not provide good service, but you must never look for outsiders! Thomas didn't think he was in trouble, but he didn't answer the other party's question, only saying that it was arranged by the superiors.

The people from the manufacturer refused. After asking around, they directly found Shana: How could you let outsiders touch our things?

Shana is a manager after all, and he doesn't tolerate the other party's faults: You are too busy, so I found an outsider.

Don't show off that you are from above. I have a stall as big as Jin Ye. Do you think there is no one up there?

(First update, He Mengzhu "Purple Flame Blue Sky")——————

Chapter 118: Angry from embarrassment (Second update to congratulate the cute master Hai He) The maintenance staff from Tai Du did not bother with it after all.

People at Central City overlook the seven Residential Area below, but that doesn't mean that just any ordinary person can act recklessly at Residential Area.

The maintenance staff spent five days dealing with all the faults and most of the hidden dangers.

After dealing with it, he felt not only doubts, but also some fear.

Isn't this foreign master so awesome? Not only can you find so many faults, but also find so many hidden dangers?

He was a little unconvinced and discussed with Thomas: I want to test it for you.

Thomas asked the above for instructions and gave the answer: The test is OK, and we don't care about all the fees.

And from beginning to end, I want to accompany you - this is Jin Ye's people are afraid that the other party will secretly cause harm.

The maintenance staff didn't care about negotiating the cost at all, and spent three days inspecting it from beginning to end.

He didn't find any new fault points. As for hidden dangers? He really doesn't have the ability to detect it.

After people from the casino heard the news, they also came over and said that we also need to replace parts...

Qu Jianlei didn't know this, but Shana contacted Bentley again and said that people from the manufacturer were asking about you.

Bentley also has a bad temper. He said that you, Jin Ye, approved the test and paid for it.

As for the manufacturer... what does that have to do with us? We have no interest in contacting them either! You Gold Industry Center have already saved money and received benefits, and now you actually want to push it out and let us fight against each other. What else are you thinking about?

During this period of time, Qu Jianlei received another order to inspect mechas.

The results of the two tests on the mecha were very good, and the news reached Hou Jing Garrison.

Defense Corps's captain is newly promoted and feels that he should have the final say on some things.

But he was not rash in doing anything. He arranged for someone to find out how the first two mecha tests went.

Then he found Fu Lan Ke and wanted to know what he thought of the guy named Jian Lei.

Fu Lan Ke's evaluation is quite satisfactory, saying that the person must have seen the world, but he does not have an advantage in cable detection.

As for the ability of mecha detection, sorry, that is beyond my scope of knowledge.

But I can responsibly say that as long as that guy dares to do the next job, it shouldn't be too bad.

So Defense Corps sent someone to Bentley to discuss this big business.

Bentley currently has a fixed contact point in the city. After receiving the news, he went back to discuss with Qu Jianlei.

Defense Corps has a lot of mechas, thirty of them are in use, and there are still spare ones in the warehouse.

If we can take this order, the entire Hou Jing situation will be open.

But Qu Jianlei was in a bit of a dilemma, "Lao Ben, it's just a matter of coming to the door, but we need to test two units first to see their strength?"

"That's the rule," Bentley was a little embarrassed, "Test first, pay later... someone has to watch."

"Besides, this guy has just straightened up his business and is stealing his ex's business for the first time. It's normal to be careful."

Qu Jianlei thought about it and answered, "I really don't want to take orders involving the military... shouldn't I take it?"

In any country in Blue Star, those who are able to do military business are all very capable.

In Wasteland, it can only be more excessive. There is more emphasis on force than in Blue Star.

Hearing this, Bentley was a little hesitant. This list was completed, and the future was really smooth.

But in the end, he was still Diandian. "It's true to be careful, but my work has become heavier."

Qu Jianlei rolled his eyes, "Then if you use the identity of Modified Warrior to take orders, your business must be very full."

Bentley rolled her eyes at him, "You can make a lot of money in just one trip, faster than a robbery, so why should I take on another mission?"

Qu Jianlei smiled and said, "You'd better ask who has accumulated the most crystals, and we can grab some..."

"You can have this," Hua Xiezhi became more energetic upon hearing this.

"Otherwise, the boss would not only have to make money, but also calculate and practice. It would be too hard."

"You think I haven't thought about it?" Bentley couldn't help but retort, "I care more about you than you two..."

"It's just that... when I was the craziest, I only did it twice, and I was seriously injured the second time."

After talking about the robbery, Bentley rejected the other party the next day.

"Master Jian Lei has a distinguished status and transfers difficult business. Not to mention the high price, it is impossible to accept payment after doing the work."

This was originally a self-respecting statement, but after hearing this, Mr. Defense Corps was so angry that he cursed.

"You have a distinguished status! That guy charges Gold Industry Center... and he has the nerve to say that the price is high?"

That night, Bentley was trying a new cultivation method, and someone called his Handheld Transceiver.

It's not the Handheld Transceiver of the three-person small team channel, but another Handheld Transceiver - he developed informants in the city.

Qu Jianlei and Hua Xiezhi heard each other's call, and Qu Jianlei responded with a different voice.

"My brother is busy with something important. If there is nothing important, please contact me later."

The other person asked Bentley when he would finish his work. When he learned that the time was uncertain, he said simply.

"Stahl is angry, saying that Jian Lei doesn't know how to appreciate others, and has arranged for someone to check his maintenance engineer qualifications."

Stahl is the new Defense Corps. Qu Jianlei asked in surprise, "What do you mean by not knowing how to praise?"

"Anyway, he must be looking for trouble," the other person replied quickly, "Remember to pay the intelligence fee."

Qu Jianlei called the other party again, wanting to know more clearly, but the call was blocked.

This is not surprising, Defense Corps is a real powerful figure, especially a great deterrent to underground forces.

It is already rare for the other party to spread the news.

Bentley ended the practice two hours later and looked very excited.

"I'm getting more and more aware, and my hands' ability to resist electric shocks is increasing, but the conduction of electricity into the ground is still a bit sluggish."

"I think the next improvement direction should be... Hey, what are your expressions?"

"It's okay, you go ahead," Qu Jianlei smiled and raised his chin, "I encountered a small problem, but there is no rush at this moment."

"Then I'll say it first, while I'm inspired," Bentley really doesn't take small things to heart.

He talked non-stop for about Buduo for about five minutes, "... anyway, the injury I suffered this time was very minor, and this is something I have learned through practice."

He has mastered the speed in his practice now and is not as reckless as he was at the beginning. Although injuries are still inevitable, they are basically controllable.

However, he still couldn't control the cost of buying medicine. After all, he wanted to try every practice in the best possible condition.

After he finished speaking, it was Qu Jianlei's turn to tell him what just happened.

After listening, he nodded lightly, "It's really a small matter, okay, I understand."

"Can you handle it?" Hua Xiezhi cautiously expressed doubt, "That's Defense Corps, and there are dozens of mechas."

"Who is he..." Bentley snorted disapprovingly.

But seeing the suspicious looks from the two of them, the corner of his mouth twitched, "I told you, I know a lot of big shots here."

Although he was wanted at the beginning, he was still a native of Central City and was very familiar with it.

After discovering that his whole family was dead, he acted very unscrupulously and once made trouble in the underworld.

So he never thinks that he is a good person, he only wants to be "Asking Heart Array clear of guilt".

Most of those big shots met at this time. He had many businesses, and his main business was smuggling.

Bentley looks for suitable sources of goods for some big names. Although the asking price is high, the service is reliable and the reviews are not bad.

Later he left, and when he came back, he found that some of his smuggling partners had cleared their names and came ashore and became big shots.

Anyway, those people knew that he was difficult to mess with, so it was just a small favor, and it was just a favor.

Qu Jianlei and Hua Xiezhi looked at each other, "But Defense Corps is long... is he a powerful person?"

"Who the hell is he?" Bentley snorted disapprovingly, "I told you, it's a trivial matter."

After saying that, he went to wash up and go to bed. Hua Xiezhi couldn't help but sigh.

"This old man really has some confidence... His teammates this time are quite reliable."

"There's no need to envy him," Qu Jianlei knew her thoughts and smiled slightly, "You won't be worse than him in the future."

This was considered a promise. Hua Xiezhi also knew his temper and replied with a smile, "Then I'll wait for your good news."

Bentley was really not bragging. The next morning, Stahl withdrew the order to investigate the qualifications of Jian Lei's maintenance technician.

The reason is also very simple, "Forget it, I only care about Order and public security. Whether he is a maintenance engineer or not, what does it have to do with me?"

The person in charge below did not dare to say anything more, "Then do you want to ask him to test the mecha?"

Stahl pondered.

According to his temper, he didn't want to have contact with this person anymore, but the person who greeted him was a big shot in another field.

The fields are different, so there is no conflict of interest among You Gen principals, and since Defense Corps leaders are not all-powerful, they still have places to ask for help.

Stahl has just become the leader of Defense Corps. He needs to build his own personal connections and relationships. This is the person he has not been able to contact in the past.

So after thinking for a while, he still said, "Let's maintain contact for a while and see what the other party wants..."

Maintaining contact means advancing, attacking, retreating or defending. The detection time can be pushed back. In principle, it will not be given to the original company.

If you really can't reach an agreement with Jian Lei, then terminate the contact. The big shot can't say that he is insincere.

The person in charge understood this and continued to contact Bentley...

Jin Ye's fresh air system was repaired, and the maintenance staff went to the casino for repairs.

At this time, other fresh air system users also heard that Hou Jing had a strong man with low fees and good services.

Following the same example, someone found Bentley through related people: Could you please help me test my system? After all, this is the most suitable season of the year for maintenance.

On this day, Qu Jianlei went to a company mainly engaged in commerce to help test the fresh air system.

Before the test started, more than a dozen people came shouting outside the door, "Who is Jian Lei? Do you have a maintenance technician qualification certificate?"
