"That's the Gold Medal in the Silver Horn Energy Machinist Competition that our store once won!" Seeing that Garen was interested in this, the little girl forced a smile and came over to introduce. It seemed that she was only fourteen or fifteen years old, and she was already very tired at this time, but she had to take the initiative to attract guests.
"Sorry, I'm not here to buy things." Garen pointed to a job advertisement next to him and said, "I'm a novice power mechanic, only level two, and I want to find a job to drill some crystals."
When the little girl heard this, her originally strong spirit immediately let go.
"Look for OEM. We really need OEM. As you can see, everything on the counter is uneven. We sell energy marks and auxiliary materials. Many things need to be processed by ourselves after purchase. Especially the fine processing of materials , The imprint of energy equipment also needs people to do fine-tuning inspections, and there is also a shortage of people in the shop. But the wages are a bit low."
"How much?" Garen nodded.
"How about two hundred crystals a week?" the little girl asked cautiously.
Garen didn't know the market at all, he just looked at the little girl and frowned.
"You can call the shots here?"
"Yes, this is my shop." The little girl nodded. In fact, there are quite a lot of things that a second-level energy mechanic can do in the general market. The price of two hundred crystals a week is already very low, and the normal price is four hundred crystals a week. But the store is almost out of business. Even this ancestral point can hardly be maintained, and the annual maintenance fee can hardly be paid. If you don't work hard, I'm afraid it won't be long before this point's position in the ability space will be completely cancelled.
"My name is Xiaolan. This store is under the name of my grandfather. He is sick now. Only me, my senior brother and my senior sister will take care of the business together." The little girl said briefly.
Garen nodded, but what he needs most now is the energy mark, and nothing else matters, and the cheapest energy mark is very expensive. He couldn't afford it at all.
"I can agree, but I have encountered something now and urgently need an energy mark. I wonder if I can advance an energy mark for me, even the lowest one." He has no choice now. Renshou may attack his town at any time. If he doesn't improve his defense quickly, no matter how strong he is, he will die if he encounters endless Renshouhai.
"Advance payment?" The little girl was stunned for a moment, "I have to go back and ask about this. But if you agree, after signing the contract, you must come to complete a fixed minimum share of tasks within a week? Otherwise, you will be identified by the supernatural space For breaking the law, you may lose the qualification to re-enter the supernatural space, you have to understand."
"That's it, no problem." Garen nodded. He has no choice now, he has no money and can't go to other shops. Maybe the conditions here are not good, but this is his only choice.
There are two other shops that may pay more, but he can't get in at all.
Watching the little girl turn around and go back into the shop.
Garen wandered around the store casually. There were indeed not many items in the counter. There were only five or six types of energy marks, all of which were aquatic and ground. There were no more popular aerial and underground marks.
Cannon fodder in the air and underground cannon fodder are relatively good energy imprints, such as color-changing bats, which can attack from a long distance, and have strong concealment and durability. Generally, the imprint has good staying power.
Another example is underground earthworms, which can go deep into the ground to find hidden underground bases. They are very popular in some special environments, and they are highly concealed and have certain toxins.
These are very good peripheral cannon fodder.
But there are none here, some are just ordinary wild wolves, saber-toothed tigers are large, short-duration, and generally powerful cannon fodder creatures.
Of course, a wild wolf and a saber-toothed tiger are definitely more capable of frontal combat than ordinary color-changing bats, but in this era of technology, no matter how strong your body is, your lack of dodging ability will still kill you in one shot.
Therefore, ordinary medium-sized and large-scale biological systems are the lowest-priced energy imprints.
The imprint of the energy machine emphasizes faster, more accurate, and stronger.
Garen scanned it all over, only to see wild wolves, saber-toothed tigers, and others were cannon fodder from the aquarium. This place is a hundred and eight thousand miles away from the sea, so it is only natural that these imprints cannot be sold.
Shaking his head, he also heard footsteps coming from inside. Looking up, I saw the little girl Xiaolan walking out, followed by a tall and thin young man.
The man was wearing a white apron, with wire gloves on his hands, which were stained with oil, and his face was a little tired, looking very tired. His grade is only in his twenties, about the same as Garen.
"Hello, I'm a disciple of the boss here, Ming Jia. Excuse me, is it you who want to join our shop as an OEM?" The man came over and opened the small door of the counter, and came in front of Jia Long.
"Yes, it's me." Garen nodded.
"So what can you do? Have you had any experience as a helper before?" the man asked with a hint of expectation. "Although the salary is so low, I'm sorry to ask such a question, but this is also to allow you to get into the state of work better quickly."
"Uh..." This question got Garen to ask him, he hadn't even entered the supernatural space a few times, let alone any work he had done before. "To be honest, I'm a rookie energy mechanic, and I don't even have the mark of an energy mechanic, let alone any helper work."
He answered frankly that it was difficult to cover up this kind of place, so he simply pointed it out directly.
"A newcomer?" A trace of disappointment flashed across the face of the man Ming Jia, but he nodded understandingly. "I understand that if you are an energy mechanic with work experience, you probably won't come to work with us so easily."
He paused, "Then do you think this arrangement is okay? Now only me and my junior sister are working in our shop, and Xiaolan is in charge of sales, but we are only good at processing biochemical imprints of the sea clan and the ground, while other aspects Not at all, I'm trying to process the imprint of the air unit now, and the ground imprint processing I was in charge of will give you a part of the workload, just complete one a week, no problem, right?"
"One?" Garen nodded. The lowest price mark would cost thousands of crystals, which was not something he could afford. It didn't sound like a very difficult task to complete one ground mark in a week. "I haven't tried it, can you let me try it first?"
"Also."
The two of them led Garen into the shop inside and entered another room similar to a studio.
There are some ball-like floating objects inside. The silver balls are suspended in the air one by one. There are more than ten of them in different sizes. Each of them can see the contents inside through the outside.
Each of the spheres is like an embryo that is being conceived, and inside is a group of continuously rotating colorful vortexes. There seems to be a colorful galaxy in it, which is extremely gorgeous and beautiful.
Mingjia pointed to the largest ball and introduced.
"This is the imprint of the energy machine that is being processed and cultivated. It is the imprint of a liger. The smaller the energy machine mark, the more functions it has, the stronger its power, and the more complicated the calculations. The breeding ball requires the energy machinist to pay attention to it at all times. Changes in the data, guide and weave the genetic chains we need at key steps. And inject our consciousness, the final bred imprint will record all the processes in the bred sphere."
He patted the big ball and smiled wryly.
"Of course, in this gestation process, the fewer mistakes you can make, the more perfect, because every time you make a mistake, even if you correct it later, the bred energy imprint will make the same mistake when making cannon fodder in the biochemical pool. It will waste time and materials, every time it is wasted like this, then the accumulation will add up, and the quality of the entire imprint will come down."
"That's true." Garen nodded in understanding.
"The general standard is that no more than five mistakes can be made, or the waste rate cannot exceed 10%." Ming Jia said simply.
"Every operation when we operate the gestation ball will be recorded by the mechanical imprint. The smoother it is, the more perfect the final imprint will be and the less loss will be. We are like engraving a series of programs on the imprint. These programs are irreversible. Mistakes can only be remedied, not altered. Therefore, every mistake directly determines the quality of the final imprint. This is the creation of a mechanical imprint."
Xiaolan, the little girl next to her, also nodded.
"That's why one person is usually specialized in one category in making energy marks, and cross-domain combat is only for courting death. Except for old monsters who have too much time to spend, don't think about others."
"You guy." Ming Jia shook his head with a wry smile, "You think I want to?"
Hearing this, Garen understood very well.
They are like burning a CD, and those who bought the imprint back are like playing a CD. Every time they make cannon fodder, it is like playing a CD. The more errors and omissions on the CD, it will even affect the Whether the playback is successful, whether there is a freeze in the middle, or whether the picture is clear or not, whether it will take time, etc.
"It's good that you understand." Mingjia nodded, "If you agree, you can sign an agreement here, and we can agree to pay you an energy mark in advance. After all, we will do this even if you don't say it, because there is no energy weapon The efficiency of the imprinted energy mechanic is indeed very low. This is not what we want. As for the type of energy imprint, you can choose it yourself. Anyway, you can ask for any in the store, and there are no good ones. The price will be recorded directly in Slowly deduct from your salary."
"good."
Garen nodded in satisfaction.
"When will you start working?"
"Tomorrow, today you choose the mark first, get familiar with using it, and tomorrow I will teach you how to operate and control the gestation ball." Mingjia ordered. "How long are you going to work."
"A month first."
"Then I've drawn up an agreement."
"That's good." Garen agreed, took the agreement sheet that soon appeared in Mingjia's hands, scanned it, and quickly signed his name after making sure there were no traps.
clang!
With a soft sound, the agreement naturally burned and turned into black ashes in Garen's hands.
"This means that the agreement has come into effect." Ming Jia nodded, "Xiao Lan, please take him to choose a mark, and the price will be calculated according to the cost price."
"Understood." The little girl Xiaolan also had a smile on her face, pulled her long red ponytail, turned around and gave Garen a friendly smile. "What do I call you?"
"Garon." Garen smiled, "Just call me Garen."
"That's amazing, brother Garen, you became a second-level energy mechanic at such a young age. Your teacher must be a very knowledgeable energy mechanic, right?" Xiaolan led Garen out of the processing room and back outside the shop.
