Having finally returned alive, her biggest worry was naturally her brother. He was her only brother, her only family in the world. If he also perished outside, then there would be no point in her living as a cripple.
She's overjoyed to have such a stable job now.
"Good morning." Sang Luoluo was already dressed in her training clothes and warming up in the training room.
Qi Feng replied with a "Good morning." Xiaoxue asked me to tell you, "Thank you for the food she received; she really liked it."
"If you like it, that's good. Let's start today's training." Sang Luoluo started the first exercise, running, with great enthusiasm.
Running used to be her weak point, but after many days of practice, her speed and endurance are gradually improving.
Qi Feng nodded, and said they would start by training Sang Yunpu.
For breakfast, Sang Luoluo took out the food she had prepared earlier from her spatial storage. After eating, she rested for a while before continuing training, spending the entire morning in training.
While Sang Yunpu was cooking lunch, Sang Luoluo ordered 200,000 mineral water bottles online from different stores. She would have to go out to each store that evening to settle the bills.
This matter must be done discreetly, and no one should be allowed to run errands for you.
While Qi Feng was free, Sang Luoluo noticed that the meteor shower outside had paused for a while. She went to the courtyard on the first floor of the villa, placed the broken harvester there, and took out the necessary repair parts and tools. Looking at Qi Feng, she asked, "Take a look, can you fix this?"
She clearly remembered that when Qi Feng was in the Guard, he could even repair heavy armor, and he was skilled at repairing other equipment as well.
"Let me see." Qi Feng frowned as he looked at the harvester in front of him. From its simple mechanical structure, he could tell that the principle was not complicated. However, what puzzled him was that this kind of machine was very old. The base's mechanical system had long since stopped using this kind of thing.
After briefly checking the location of the malfunction, he said, "This machine still requires manual operation, which is a bit troublesome. Do you need to modify it to be automatic? You only need to change the battery, and it can operate on its own."
Sang Luoluo's eyes lit up, "It can even be modified?"
"Change!!"
Chapter 116: Over a million in full payment, wow, he's struck it rich.
Sang Luoluo immediately asked, "How many Crystal Core, or rather, materials, are needed for the modification?"
Qi Feng said, "Materials aren't cheap right now. If you trust me, bring the machine and come with me. I'll take you somewhere."
"Ah, okay." Sang Luoluo her hand, packed up the machine, and followed Qi Feng out the door.
After turning left and right in the underground city, Sang Luoluo around curiously. There were many semi-finished products and a lot of materials piled up together, as well as various mechanized modules, all of which Sang Luoluo had never seen before.
Qi Feng said, "This is it. The repairman here is a retired member of the Guard who was seriously injured. He used to repair most of the Guard's high-precision machinery and equipment. He's very skilled, but he was injured, so it's a bit slow for him to do the repairs alone. It will probably take about three days to complete the modification."
Sang Luoluo said, "It's only three days, I can wait."
Qi Feng led his men inside. The man inside was a middle-aged man in his thirties. He had lost one arm and one leg, which were replaced by mechanical parts. The mechanical arm could move heavy objects. The man had stubble and didn't bother to groom himself. His medium-length hair was casually tied back.
He looked a bit weathered, yet capable.
Upon seeing Qi Feng, some dilapidated robots beside him shook their heads and waved in greeting.
"Master, Captain Qi has arrived."
" Captain Qi, it's been a while since you've been here. What do you need fixed?" the man asked, standing up.
He glanced at the young girl standing behind Qi Feng, who hadn't fully grown up yet, and wondered what their relationship was.
Qi Feng introduced, " Gu Qi, I've been away from the Guard for a while now. This is my new employer Sang Luoluo. I brought her here to repair some things."
Gu Qi watched Sang Luoluo take a couple of steps, then forced a smile and greeted her. The burdens of life were suffocating him, and he didn't want to scare away a customer with his messy place.
Qi Feng glanced at the empty space in the shop and said, "Just put it there."
Sang Luoluo nodded, waved her hand, and a harvester appeared in the repair shop.
Qi Feng said, "The harvester's bearing is broken. Can you take a look and repair it? Also, the boss wants to upgrade it to be fully automatic. Can you help with that? How many potatoes do you need, including materials and labor?"
Gu Qi's eyes flickered, and he stared at the two of them with a strange look. "Are you sure you want to pay with potatoes?"
Qi Feng nodded seriously.
"Let me take a look first." After saying that, Gu Qi walked around the harvester and examined its entire structure. He couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "Where did such an old harvester come from? These parts haven't been used for hundreds of years. Where did you dig up this antique?"
Sang Luoluo's heart skipped a beat. It was just a harvester; how did it become an antique?
Qi Feng gave him a warning look, "Same rules as always, don't ask what you shouldn't ask, and don't say what you shouldn't say."
Gu Qi gave an OK sign. "Okay, I won't ask. This thing is really too old. I estimate the repair cost plus materials will be about 50 potatoes, which isn't cheap."
Qi Feng asked, "How much are the radiation-free potatoes?"
Gu Qi narrowed his eyes upon hearing this, "No radiation, 24 will suffice."
So cheap?! Before we came out, who said it wasn't cheap?
Sang Luoluo decisively waved her hand and took out 24 large potatoes, each as big as a palm.
"Full payment?" Gu Qi was a little taken aback. In the past, everyone who came here for repairs had paid a deposit first. He had never seen anyone come in and pay the full amount right away.
Qi Feng shook his head helplessly and explained, "Here, they always collect a 10% deposit first. After the renovation is completed and the customer confirms everything is satisfactory, they then pay the balance. I forgot to remind you."
Having been with Sang Luoluo for a long time, Qi Feng had gotten used to her habit of paying the full amount upfront.
Sang Luoluo didn't intend to take it back, and said with a smile, "It's alright, let's just pay in full. You were introduced by Qi Feng, and I trust the people he recommended. Just contact him after the renovation is complete."
Gu Qi was flattered. "You trust me so much? Okay, leave it to me. Don't worry, I'll definitely give you a good makeover."
Qi Feng was slightly taken aback. He felt a bit of pressure being trusted so much by his boss. Not everyone he introduced was trustworthy. He had only chosen one with good skills. As for Gu Qi, he was just looking out for him as an old colleague.
On her way back from Gu Qi's repair shop, Sang Luoluo kept thinking. She had been incredibly impressed by the robot in Gu Qi's shop; it was so much more intelligent than the robotic vacuum cleaner that Sang Yunpu had modified at home. It could even handle some repairs. She couldn't help but wish she had a robot like that in her own space. Perhaps some farm work could be done by a robot?
For example, using a tractor to till the land, pruning the ever-growing fruit trees, picking fruit, and other tedious tasks.
The more she thought about it, the more she felt she desperately needed such a robot. Before she knew it, a sports car sped through the underground passage. Seeing her walking straight ahead, Qi Feng grabbed her by the collar and pulled her back. If he had been a moment later, he would have been injured.
Sang Luoluo was still in shock.
What are you thinking about? You're so focused.
Qi Feng put one hand in his pocket, loosened her collar, and looked down at her with a smile.
Sang Luoluo said, "That robot in the Gu Qi shop was quite interesting. I'd like to buy it."
"How much do you know about it? What can that robot do?"
Qi Feng was taken aback. Why did she suddenly want to buy a robot again? When she asked, he could only explain, "That robot wasn't very big and had limited functions. The quality of robots these days varies greatly. The really good robots are all in the hands of the base. Gu Qi's robot was just something he assembled using some materials and modified according to specific needs; it was only suitable for his repair work. If you want a robot, you need to design one according to your needs. What do you want the robot to do?"
Sang Luoluo stated her needs, saying, "Just routine tasks: washing clothes, mopping the floor, cooking, driving, moving things big and small—anything that can be done according to my instructions."
Qi Feng thought for a moment, "Your request isn't difficult. These types of robots are rarely sold. Most robots are used by the base to support industrial production, and they come in all sizes. You should have seen some before."
"I'll check online later to see if there's anything similar, and I'll look for it for you," Qi Feng continued.
"Great! If there are any suitable ones, I can buy two to try."
Sang Luoluo was in a good mood.
After returning home, Qi Feng and Sang Yunpu took the ingredients they would use that night and headed to the black market; they needed to prepare some food in advance.
Sang Luoluo didn't rest that night either. She changed her clothes, wrapped herself up tightly, and went to pick up the goods. She collected all 100,000 water buckets.
Of course, it wasn't just buckets; she also had some other containers made, such as bamboo baskets and crates, as well as boxes made of giant wood and wicker baskets woven from vines.
Of course, she chose all non-radioactive materials, which were a bit pricey, but it's always better to be cautious when using them to store food in a space.
After finishing all that, she went home and went to her spatial dimension to do farm work.
They used a combine harvester to harvest the remaining dozens of acres of wheat, then plowed the land and planted a batch of corn.
