The tools in the toolbox are already worn out.
This toolbox was obtained in the room where the Ronggui freezer was placed. It was consumed along the way. Many tools have traces of being repaired by him, and several tools have all been replaced by materials.
Kneeling on the carpet, Xiaomei placed these tools neatly in front of her and wiped them slowly. While wiping, he repaired the small damage on the tools.
It was the most broken thing he had ever had around, but it was these broken things that became the only things he carried with him in his life.
Turned out to be a toolbox? !
In fact, it was the only thing he wiped so carefully.
No amount of precious treasures and antiques has ever been treated like this by him.
Xiaomei continued wiping. After wiping, she returned all the tools one by one. He put the small toolbox in the corner of the room, and then walked out of the room again.
When he left the house, he habitually glanced in the direction of Ronggui. People who have lived in the dark for a long time are easily addicted to that kind of video. As far as he knows, there is a very strange disease in the underground world: the disease of addiction to TV programs. The main cause is the program that Ronggui just watched. Human beings are addicted to the beauty of the above world, and they want to watch that program every day. Over time, they don’t even do anything except watch TV. During that time, a large number of TV sets were destroyed every day in the underground world, and several explosions broke out. riot.
Shouldn't be that time now.
He thought, his eyes had already fallen on Ronggui.
Ronggui's shoulders trembled, looking carefully, he was still holding a small handkerchief in his hand.
This is... crying
But where did the tears come from the robot? And that column is basically a hypnotic column, where can people cry
Xiaomei's eyes immediately fell on the TV screen, and when she looked at it, she realized that the show on the TV was not the same as just now:
On the small screen, a sturdy female dwarf with standard eight-pack abs said to the male dwarf next to her with an indifferent expression: "I'm sorry, I'm in love with someone else, don't waste your time on me, go. Find other dwarves."
Then the equally strong male dwarf wept and tried to grab the corner of the female dwarf's clothes: "No~ dear, you are the only female dwarf in the whole city~ How can you tell me to find other female dwarves?"
The female dwarf said very coldly: "Then you can find a male dwarf."
Xiaomei: …
"Pfft—" Hearing this sentence, Ronggui couldn't cry anymore, the handkerchief fell, and he laughed.
"This is the axe you gave me, and I'll give it back to you. Goodbye, no, never again." He pulled out an axe from behind and threw it at the male dwarf, and the female dwarf turned and left grimly.
I saw 1, 2, 3... 9 big axes behind her back!
A full nine!
Along with the sad cry of the male dwarf, the figure of the female dwarf carrying the nine axes gradually disappeared.
The words "End of the first episode" appeared on the TV screen at the same time.
At the same time there is also the film titled "Axe Romance".
Xiaomei: What the hell is this movie
At the same time, Rong Gui also sighed with emotion: "What a good movie... It's touching and funny... Hey? Xiaomei, are you done?"
Only then did Ronggui realize that Xiaomei had come out.
"After watching the wings, I want to eat chicken wings, but now this body can't eat anything, so I just changed the channel. I just came across a movie that I just started doing, which is great." He also explained.
Xiaomei: …
Well, he doesn't have to worry about Ronggui's addiction to Sky City's promotional films now. What he needs to worry about is that Ronggui is addicted to Dwarf City's dog-blood TV series.
really-
"Honey, what are we going to do next? The room has been tidied up, shall we go to work to make money?"
I only watched one episode, but Ronggui has already begun to imitate the male dwarf to speak.
"Dear" Xiaomei: ...
"No, let's take a look at the surrounding markets first." Ignoring this, Xiaomei picked up Dahuang's key and went straight downstairs.
"Okay~" A grunting voice came from behind him, which was the sound of Ronggui holding up his "crutch" and going downstairs.
The entire Yedhan city is famous for the excellent craftsmanship of dwarf craftsmen, so basically the whole city is full of iron shops.
Of course, the blacksmith shop here is just a convenient name. In fact, there are all kinds of metals here. Each shop has its own metal that is good at smelting, some items that it is good at making, and some are responsible for extracting metals from ores. , There are those specialized in hammering and refining cast metals, and those specialized in processing metals into various items.
At first, most of what they saw were ordinary basic blacksmith shops. After a little bit of exploration, they finally found a shop specializing in the sale of mechanical body parts.
Large mechanical bodies as large as three meters high, as small as a mechanical finger, all of them are sold in stores!
Ronggui saw densely packed fingers in a store: there are all kinds of colors, thicknesses and lengths, and if you look carefully, there are even slots reserved for nails!
Take a look at the store next to it: it is specializing in selling all kinds of metal nails!
Ronggui is simply breathtaking—
There are also a lot of customers here. Ronggui looked curiously at the many tall people shopping around in the store. Obviously, they came from outside. Maybe they came here specifically to buy body parts.
Many people have metal prosthetics on their bodies, some are hands, some are legs, and some are internal organs...
Ronggui saw a guest suddenly open his chest and let the dwarf waiter inside look at his mechanical heart.
That person was next to Ronggui at the time, and when he suddenly pulled off his clothes, Ronggui's first reaction was that the other party wanted to be a hooligan! Who would have guessed that after pulling the clothes off, they still continued to pull. When the man opened his chest and took out his heart, Rong Gui was stunned.
"This heart is about to die. Can you make an identical one? This one is tailor-made for me."
These days, heart disease doesn't have to go to the hospital...
as well as-
It turns out... even the internal organs can be replaced with metal!
But if you think about it carefully, it's not worth making a fuss. Wouldn't it be more thorough for them to replace him and Xiaomei, but their entire bodies were replaced by machines!
Looking at the shops, Ronggui has more and more knowledge, and he even saw people who use mechanical bodies like them!
"Xiaomei Xiaomei, is this a robot? Or someone with a mechanical body like us?" Rong Gui leaned over and whispered in his ear after poking at Xiaomei who was looking at the goods.
Xiaomei didn't lift her head: "It's the same as us, there are no robots here."
"Ah..." Ronggui was stunned.
Isn't this the future? I always feel... Robots should be used on a large scale in the future...
"The space is limited. The place where manpower can be used is still manpower. If you use robots, there will be more people who will not earn points." Xiaomei explained flatly.
Ronggui froze again.
It seems... also makes sense.
He scratched his head, probably because he woke up in the wrong year, didn't he wake up in a year with robots
So in the following time, Ronggui's observation objects changed from various mechanical parts in the window to roadside guests.
His focus was on people who, like them, were using machines all over their bodies.
There are two kinds of people, one is an ordinary mechanical body, which looks like a robot in the movies of his time. Most of the robot's body is targeted. They are either very tall or have very large fingers. In particular, in a word, everyone's body looks different; the other is highly humanoid, but this is not the appearance of ordinary people, this kind of machine body is very beautiful!
Ronggui saw the most beautiful robot he had ever seen today at the door of a shop that looked like a lot of things.
It's two meters tall!
He was tall, but his skeleton was slender and beautiful. The man's body was made of some kind of metal. His whole body was shiny and silver-white. He couldn't see his appearance with a mask on his face. No!
Ronggui watched the man lead him straight towards the store.
Xiaomei continued to look at the goods, and Ronggui looked back at the store from time to time.
Finally, when the man came out again, Ronggui was shocked:
That man has an extra pair of wings behind him!
Silvery white, very beautiful wings!
"Wow! It's so beautiful! Look at Xiaomei!" He was shocked and told Xiaomei to turn around and watch the fun, Ronggui hurriedly poked Xiaomei a few times.
Xiaomei turned her head slowly, only glanced at it, then turned her head again and continued to look at the parts she had seen before.
"Who is that? Is it the angel of Sky City?" Rong Gui asked excitedly in a low voice.
"How is that possible? But it should be someone with a bit of money who lives in the upper floors of the dungeon. This kind of wings is very expensive. It doesn't have any other function except decoration, but it looks good." Xiaomei said casually, while going to the next one Go to the booth.
After walking for a long time, he found that there was no Ronggui's voice for a long time. When he turned his head, he found that Ronggui was still standing stupidly beside the previous booth.
There were a lot of people standing around as stupid as him, and everyone's eyes were on the man who had just put on his wings.
It just looks beautiful, but in fact the workmanship is very rough. The dwarf craftsman who made this pair of wings should not be of high level, and will not exceed the third level.
Wing feathers made by craftsmen above level 3 can vibrate slightly, and the texture is more realistic.
Xiaomei made a brief assessment, and then walked over to claim Ronggui.
"Xiaomei, those wings are so beautiful! I don't think they look good on TV, but they look really beautiful up close! Really, the wings must be more beautiful, right?"
Ronggui was so excited that he was dragged all the way by Xiaomei, and he whispered all the way.
It wasn't until Xiaomei pulled him back into the car that he remembered the serious business today:
Ask about prices.
How much does it cost to buy a set of parts big enough to assemble a whole body, that's what they're shopping for today.
"Oops! I forgot to read half of it!" Ronggui was shocked.
Xiaomei squinted at him, opened her connection port and inserted it into Ronggui's body for a while. After the connection was successful, a lot of text messages and three pictures appeared in Ronggui's brain.
The three pictures correspond to the three robot figures.
The figure numbered 3 on the far right looks the best and most realistic. It is tall and has clear facial features. The skin is a bit brassy but still very smooth. The limbs are slender, and the fingers and toes are all distinct;
The second picture in the middle is a little worse, with a pair of eyes and no other facial features. The skin color is very dull, but the fingers and toes are clearly defined. In general, it has a human appearance, but it is also a kind of goods;
However, this is also much better than the No. 1 picture on the far left. The No. 1 picture is basically the complete version of their current body~ It's just that the head has increased, the fingers are very detailed, but the toes are still basic, although the metal color is better than it is now. a lot, but... but...
pretty ugly!
"I want number three." Ronggui said decisively.
Although I still haven't met my requirements, if I just choose among these three, I must choose three!
Xiaomei didn't say a word, and after a while, three numbers appeared above the graph in Ronggui's mind. A figure on a number.
"This is the price." Xiaomei said succinctly.
Ronggui looked at it one by one:
Picture No. 1: 300,000 points!
Picture No. 2: 600,000 points!
Figure 3: … 1.6 million points! ! !
"It's so expensive!" Ronggui was dumbfounded.
"This is already the lowest estimate of the three optimal combinations that I have calculated based on all the stores and all commodities I have seen in the market today. The points in Yedehan City are equivalent to money, and we can also use the 80,000 points we have, but Apart from the 80,000, we still need at least 220,000 points."
"...not 220,000, but 540,000..." Ronggui lowered his head and calculated.
Xiaomei: "?"
"And your body, Xiaomei, your body is dying, isn't it?" Ronggui counted Xiaomei as a matter of course.
After speaking, he lowered his head and continued to settle accounts.
Idiot, not 540,000, but 520,000 - correcting Ronggui's miscalculation in her heart, Xiaomei didn't speak.
In the end, Ronggui decided to choose the offer of option 1 and the shape of option 4.
↑
He was not satisfied with the appearance of Xiaomei's design, so he decided to design scheme 4 himself. Of course, Xiaomei was responsible for reviewing the quotation and feasibility.
Ronggui decided not to buy ready-made parts in the store, but to buy a brand new set of tools and equipment for Xiaomei, and then buy primary materials to be processed by Xiaomei.
The entire budget is controlled at 600,000 points, and the two of them only need to be responsible for earning points.
"Continue to look for a job~" Shaking his fists, Rong Gui was full of energy again.
