Chapter 102 Chapter 129 Exposing 130 New Ways to Make Money
Chapter 102 129 Exposed-130 New Ways to Make Money
Chapter 129 is exposed (first update to congratulate the cute master Youyou)
Because of the invasion of foreign enemies, the negotiations between Bentley and the mountain owner had to be temporarily suspended.
The final rough agreement was that Bentley would receive 41,000 silver dollars and the matter would be revealed.
The mountain owner felt really bad about this request, but he couldn'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 Tiangong know the details, right?
Bentley looked at him as if he was mentally retarded, "You want face, but we don't?"
"Then tell me," the mountain owner simply lay down, "what else do you want?"
Just when Bentley was about to speak, there was a noise outside, and the team of the Fallen was attacking Houjing.
So he only left one sentence, "I don't want silver dollars, I want cultivation resources."
Seeing him leaving in a hurry, the mountain master frowned and muttered in a low voice, "Resources for cultivation..."
The number of Fallen attacking Houjing this time exceeded 3,000.
Unlike the degenerates in Hongzi District, the degenerates in Tianzi District are very well organized and quite large in scale.
This is a very good condition in the Tianzi District. The Fallen usually mingle among the crowd, but once activated, they must stick together.
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 Houjing, this small amount of troops is still not enough.
The garrison and the city guards came out together, and other adventurers volunteered to come to the rescue. In one day, they eliminated this group of fallen ones.
There were estimated to be more than a hundred fallen ones, escaping in pieces.
Houjing's management was furious. This was the first time in recent decades that degenerates had attacked a big city like the four capitals.
Is it because we, Hou Jing, are easy to bully? Those degenerates who escaped must be captured!
A large number of city guards, garrison teams and volunteers were sent out to carry out a blanket investigation in the entire Houjing area.
Ordinarily, with their strength, Bentley and Qu Jianlei 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 caught by the Fallen, other adventurers saved him.
However, Bentley said that there are too many people in Beijing who are qualified to participate, 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, the city guards inspected their residence.
At noon the next day, another wave of guards came to inspect the residence.
After two inspections, Qu Jianlei and Hua Xiezi were completely exposed to everyone, and they couldn't hide them no matter what.
However, neither the city guards nor the garrison 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 he is young, he is at least a reformed warrior. 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 a flower scorpion - you go to Terry for this kind of thing.
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 Starr, the boss of the defense team!
Starr's attitude was good, but he still asked, "With your strength, why don't you help destroy the 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."
Starr nodded, approving the 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 the fallen.
Starr asked with great interest, "Still there is a carriage fee?"
"This is respect for knowledge," Qu Jianlei only said this - he had no choice but to accept death.
Starr rolled his eyes and curled his lips silently.
When Bentley came back, he heard that Qu Jianlei had 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 the garrison. He only collected one hundred silver dollars for the carriage fee and 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 maintenance technicians from other houses who also participated in the maintenance. I heard that he earned a hundred silver dollars in two days, which made me feel unbalanced.
The maintenance engineer didn't get angry at him, but asked other defenders, "Is this a level A or level B maintenance engineer?"
"Can an A-level person do this kind of work?" the guard asked, "But this one...may not be rated."
They also heard that Xue Mantian from Tiangong had made things difficult for this person and wanted to see his ID.
"Isn't this price too high?" The repairman who asked the question was dissatisfied.
The damage to this batch of mechas was mainly due to the previous battle with the Fallen, and he didn't plan to make much money.
But someone asked for such a high price, and he felt that he was too kind, so he found the Repairman Association.
The Repairman Association had heard of Jian Lei - in fact, Tiangong's A-level repairman was also the vice president here.
President Dai Xingyan didn't want to get involved, but she couldn't sit idly by when the repairmen in the association reported the problem.
So she found Starr and asked him if he had checked Jian Lei's certificate, and what was the meaning of the 100 silver dollars.
Starr was also helpless. He said that he hadn't seen the certificate, but he felt that the travel fee was already very low.
Dai Xingyan's eyes lit up only when she heard "respect for knowledge", "Did he really say that?"
"Isn't it just because he wants money?" Starr replied disapprovingly, "But I heard that their cultivation really costs a lot of money."
"It's not a matter of money at all!" Dai Xingyan said very straightforwardly, "A maintenance engineer should have such awareness."
"By the way, where does he live now? I want to visit him."
That 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, and Qu Jianlei was observing on the side.
While observing, someone knocked on the door, and soon, Hua Xiezi came over, "There is a beauty looking for you."
"Beauty..." Qu Jianlei looked at her helplessly. He was still in danger now, so how could he consider personal problems?
But he also knew that Hua Xiezi knew the importance of things. "I'm busy right now. What am I doing?"
"The president of the Maintenance Association," Hua Xiezi replied, "He said he has something to discuss with you."
Qu Jianlei thought about it and stood up. "Please help keep an eye on it. If there is anything unusual, remember to call me."
He walked out of the room and opened the gate. There was indeed a young woman opposite him, pushing a motorcycle. Her appearance looked... okay.
But he didn't think that she could be called a beauty because she was quite sturdy.
He felt that the aesthetics of the wasteland here were somewhat different from those of the blue planet - sturdiness was beautiful.
This might be related to the environment of the wasteland. The sturdier the person, the easier it is to survive, but Qu Jianlei himself didn't like it.
But since we are talking about serious matters, beauty is not the point, "I heard that the acting president has something to do?"
"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 did not stop her, and first closed the gate, thought for a while and answered, "Under 30 years old."
Only 18 years old, under 30... nothing wrong.
"So young?" Dai Xingyan looked at him in surprise, and then parked the motorcycle.
"Acting president, you are also very young," Qu Jianlei answered casually, "Ambition is not old."
"My situation..." Dai Xingyan stopped halfway through her words.
Then she asked again, "I heard that you are a transformation warrior... It's very expensive to practice, right?"
Qu Jianlei looked at her speechlessly, "Are you in a high position and feel that you have the right to ask me, or are you just talking about deep things?"
This is very impolite, which means that he is a little unhappy.
But Dai Xingyan really didn't care. Transformed warriors are high up, who can still be a little bit angry?
She said seriously, "I have a way to make money here, I wonder if you are interested in listening?"
Qu Jianlei was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "Of course... Come, please come in."
After inviting the person to sit in the hall, he took out the homemade water heater and poured a glass of boiled water for the other party.
"Is this... boiled water?" Dai Xingyan was a little surprised, "Your living habits are very good."
"Not bad," Qu Jianlei answered casually, in fact, he was a little regretful that there was no tea here.
Dai Xingyan rolled her eyes, and became more and more certain in her heart that the other party should be from the central city.
Not to mention that only the central city can have transformed warriors, just saying these small habits, it means that the other party has a good background.
"It's a pity that there is no bitter orange peel," Dai Xingyan said with regret, "It tastes good when brewed with boiling water... I'll get you some later?"
Qu Jianlei rolled his eyes, "Are there leaves that can be brewed? Roasted and processed."
"Huh?" Dai Xingyan looked at him in surprise, "Tea... have you ever drunk it?"
"Tea?" Qu Jianlei was also stunned when he heard it, this is definitely the pronunciation of Chinese.
He forced himself to suppress his curiosity, "Can you get it?"
"This... is a bit difficult," Dai Xingyan shook her head with regret, "It's rare in the central city."
She didn't use "above" to refer to it, but directly said the three words "central city".
Qu Jianlei blinked, "Are you familiar with the central city?"

Chapter 130 New Way to Make Money (Second update He Mengzhu's duck blood fans)
Dai Xingyan shook her head slightly, did not answer Qu Jianlei's question, but asked again
"How well do you understand the theory of mechanical maintenance?"
Qu Jianlei hesitated, but decided to be modest, "Not bad, mainly because I read a lot of books."
Dai Xingyan asked directly, "Do you have your own research or...theory?"
"Well...I have some ideas," Qu Jianlei answered uncertainly.
The original technology of the wasteland is definitely stronger than that of Blue Star, but civilizations with different development processes cannot follow the same path.
He thought that he could still sort out something by combining some ideas from Blue Star, "I just don't know if it's appropriate?"
Dai Xingyan thought that the other party was worried about leaking some secrets of the central city.
She said very straightforwardly, "I hope you can write some articles, and the submission direction is the central city... There is no publication in Tianzi District."
There is no publication in Tianzi District? Qu Jianlei was stunned again when he heard this, "Are there no publications in the seven settlements below?"
"Of course," Dai Xingyan answered without hesitation, "Originally, Tianzi District wanted to publish a few publications, but..."
She didn't continue, but there was no need to say it. Do you really think that the "information barrier" is fake?
"Submit..." Qu Jianlei pondered for a moment, and he was a little moved. This kind of money is what he yearns for most.
However, there is still a question, "Does this thing make a lot of money?"
"The manuscript fee won't be much," Dai Xingyan answered seriously, "but we have subsidies in Houjing!"
The competition among the four capitals and one city is everywhere, and Houjing is relatively lagging in terms of academics.
Houjing has strong economic strength and orderly inheritance, but it is precisely because of this that it is difficult for technical talents to grow up.
Occasionally, a few geniuses emerge, and Taidu will spend a lot of money to poach them. After all, in the Tianzi District, Taidu is the center.
Houjing cannot compete with Taidu in all aspects, but after Dai Xingyan took office, she applied for funds for special purposes.
Her requirement for Qu Jianlei is: as long as you hang the "Houjing" logo, we will issue subsidies if the manuscript is passed.
No matter where you come from, as long as you admit that you are in Houjing, it's fine.
As for the possibility that the other party may be poached by Taidu, Dai Xingyan thinks the possibility is very low and there is no need to consider it at present.
First of all, how strong is Jian Lei's strength, it is still a question mark. It cannot be said that if he is strong in hands-on ability, he is strong in theory.
Secondly, this person is at least a reformed warrior, but he is willing to live in the suburbs, which means that he doesn't care much about treatment.
"How is the subsidy calculated?" Qu Jianlei asked with interest. If the subsidy is enough, do you believe that I can write Houjing into bankruptcy?
Dai Xingyan answered without hesitation, "It depends on the quantity and the type of journal published..."
The publication of professional articles here is similar to that of Blue Star - it is not surprising that similar mechanisms appear when civilization develops to a certain stage.
Qu Jianlei calculated that the subsidy for one page of article is about 20 to 100 silver dollars.
However, it is not so easy to pass the manuscript for top journals, and he doesn't have a good grasp of the degree of it.
So he said, "How about this, you help me submit the manuscript, and you can decide which one to choose?"
"I will help you submit it?" Dai Xingyan was overjoyed when she heard it.
She repeatedly emphasized that she had to bring the "Houjing" label, fearing that this result would not be counted as Houjing - it was from the central city.
If she helps submit the manuscript, the credit will be as solid as it can be. "Do you trust me so much?"
"Shouldn't I trust you?" Qu Jianlei looked at her strangely, "Will you take it for yourself?"
"How is this possible?" Dai Xingyan waved her hands hurriedly. Is she afraid of losing her life by snatching the research results of the transformation warrior?
She was a little curious, "Are there many such things?"
Qu Jianlei spread his hands and answered a little helplessly, "I haven't submitted the manuscript. You ask me, who should I ask?"
Dai Xingyan asked puzzledly, "In this case, how could you think of this possibility?"
Is this hard to imagine? Qu Jianlei was speechless. He had heard too many scandals like this on Blue Star.
After thinking for a while, he replied, "Don't think too highly of human nature."
"That makes sense!" Dai Xingyan gave a thumbs up, "I find you have a good mind for looking at problems."
Qu Jianlei smiled disapprovingly, "When can I submit my article?"
"Anytime," Dai Xingyan answered without hesitation, "Just go to the Maintenance Association to find me."
"That's fine," Qu Jianlei nodded, "By the way, can you get the cultivation resources?"
He had heard from Bentley that the Tiangong Maintenance Factory used cultivation resources to make amends, and he thought it was a good idea.
If he made money through daily maintenance, it would be unlikely for him to put forward such a condition, and ordinary forces could not get cultivation resources.
So in the near future, he would not be short of silver dollars, and it would be proper to find some big forces to get cultivation resources.
"Cultivation resources..." Dai Xingyan frowned in embarrassment, "I'll work hard, how much do you need?"
"Just change the subsidy into cultivation resources," Qu Jianlei's requirements were not high, "I'm not short of money."
Dai Xingyan nodded when she heard this. This kind of requirement was indeed not high, and the Dai family still had some power.
But her curiosity was aroused again, "Will you lack cultivation resources?"
This question was still a superficial one, but Qu Jianlei was already used to her way of speaking.
To be honest, he preferred this straightforward way of communication.
"Is it normal for this situation to happen? For example, we may have offended someone..."
"Or for example, we are undergoing some kind of test... What do you think the reason is?"
"I won't guess," Dai Xingyan shook her head decisively, "So there are so many possibilities?"
You obviously haven't read online novels! Qu Jianlei nodded, "Of course."
"Okay, that's settled," Dai Xingyan nodded, "How long will it take you to finish it?"
Before Qu Jianlei could answer, Hua Xiezi rushed in, "That... there's a little problem."
"Got it," Qu Jianlei nodded, and looked at Dai Xingyan again, "If it's fast, it'll only take a few days."
"A few days?" Dai Xingyan was stunned when she heard that, "Isn't it counted by months?"
When she came to her senses, the other party had left, so she asked Hua Xiezi.
"Does Jian Lei like to brag?"
"This question is very rude," Hua Xiezi frowned, but finally said, "He always speaks conservatively."
"That's great," Dai Xingyan picked up the cup and drank the water in it in one breath, "Okay, then I'm leaving."
But she didn't 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 method.
There was indeed an accident this time, but Bentley was not greatly affected, and even he didn't care much.
Compared to the frequent mistakes a few months ago, it's good now, isn't it?
Qu Jianlei fully exerted his spirit of pursuit and finally perfected the method after ten days.
He spent another five days to roughly determine that there were no major flaws in this method.
He didn't have time to celebrate before he was entangled by Hua Xiezi, "Where's mine?"
"Don't rush," Qu Jianlei was speechless, "It will be fine soon, but you need to borrow a B-level crystal from Bentley."
When helping Bentley deduce, he improved a lot of relevant knowledge, and it was not difficult to deduce another method.
But he needed the energy of the crystal, but he certainly wouldn't ask Bentley directly.
"That's no problem," Hua Xiezi answered confidently, "He told me, just ask if you have any needs."
After all, teammates are different after all. If someone else dared to open his mouth like this, Bentley might have killed him directly.
And the facts proved that he was really not a big mouth. As soon as Hua Xiezi opened his mouth, he lent a crystal.
At the same time, he also said, "If one is not enough, come to me to borrow another... You can borrow up to three."
Next, Qu Jianlei did not live up to Hua Xiezi's trust. He spent ten days to deduce a new method.
This is a cultivation method that has not been injected with transformation drugs, so it will definitely not be so mature.
So Hua Xiezi, like Bentley before, began a life of vomiting blood and getting out of breath.
After that, Qu Jianlei spent a full two months to deduce a relatively complete method, but that's another story.
After Hua Xiezi began to try to practice, he finally had time to think about what kind of article to submit.
There are not too few things to write, but... too many!
But some things can't be written casually, such as controllable Mu Hai fusion, which really can't be willful.
Qu Jianlei had seriously thought about this issue before, and carefully verified it in various publications.
However, there is really no relevant content, let alone Mu Hai fusion, there is not even fission - not at all!
Qu Jianlei can't be sure what happened here.
Maybe... because the unit energy density of the energy block is strong enough, so there is no need to think about a new path?
But Qu Jianlei is more inclined to another guess: the information barrier should be all-round!
Especially this publication can also be seen in the settlement area below, how can it not be controlled?
So he thought about it again and again, and planned to write some unique insights on the sensor's sensing method.
It is said that the sensing technology of Blue Star is far behind the wasteland in hardware.
But perhaps it is precisely because of the backward hardware that Blue Star is really not inferior to the wasteland in some algorithms of sensors.
For the people of Blue Star, this behavior has a euphemism called "opening a new path".
If the strength is strong enough, wouldn't it be better to take the main road?
In the final analysis, this is also forced out-if there is a calculator, who is willing to use an abacus to square?
This method of squeezing potential should be considered by few people in the wasteland.
Qu Jianlei thought about it carefully and felt that his idea should not have a big problem.
