Han Xiao did not intend to be a wanderer. After defecting from the Germinal Organization, he no longer enjoyed free resources. The growth of the mechanical department was very expensive. Many equipment, materials, and parts were expensive. Funds and resources were a major obstacle. Although the wilderness was free, the resources were scarce, not stable enough, and the growth was too slow.
Besides, he was alone and weak. Before he grew up, he needed the protection of a big force. If he was locked in the wild by the Germinal Organization, the other party would have no scruples when they took action. They might be determined to throw a heat-seeking missile array and conduct carpet bombing in the area, and he would not be able to escape.
The Germinal Organization did not use this method to deal with him before because Han Xiao was located in the territory of Star Dragon, and the missiles would be intercepted. For this reason, it would not be cost-effective to expose the organization to other bases of Star Dragon. Another reason was that the leader did not use all means to deal with him. It was not worth it.
Han Xiao chose to join the Six Nations. The most important thing was that, except for the Germinal Organization, only the Six Nations had advanced knowledge.
For his own advanced task, joining the Six Nations camp was imperative.
The most urgent matter was to choose a place to stay in Xidu. The moment Han Xiao decided to come to Xidu, he thought of the goal.
That was a hidden plot point. In his previous life, he also saw it from other people's information and did not get this opportunity personally. Now there is no competitor, and Han Xiao can get there first.
…
In front of him was a repair shop with an open door, similar to the door of a car repair shop. The shop had no name, and the sign was a wrench pattern, just letting passers-by know that it was a mechanical repair shop.
There might not be any pedestrians here. The repair shop was hidden in an inconspicuous alley with walls on both sides. The entrance of the alley was about 200 meters away from the shop. If you didn't walk in, you would think it was a dead end.
"This opportunity in the previous life did not belong to me, so I can't miss it this time."
Han Xiao's eyes flickered.
Although this repair shop is not impressive, it hides a very precious opportunity in the early stage of the mechanical department, and it is unique.
There was a chess table at the door of the repair shop. Two gray-haired old men were sitting opposite each other playing chess. One was tall and the other was short. The short old man had a stubble on his face and a long Mediterranean hair that was wild and unrestrained. He looked like an artist.
The other tall old man had short gray hair that was neatly combed. He sat upright like a pine tree and stared at the chessboard intently. The most conspicuous thing was that his left sleeve was empty. He was a disabled person.
The two old men glanced at Han Xiao and continued to play chess by themselves. They looked serious and serious, as if they were facing a great enemy.
Han Xiao glanced at them and was slightly surprised. It was amazing. It was still Go. Black and white were entangled. The situation was fierce. The tall old man was making a big dragon, while the short old man was chasing and blocking them. Both sides played chess like antelopes hanging horns. It was fierce and dangerous!
Take another closer look. Damn, it was Gobang! Your expressions were in vain!
"Are you going to repair something?" A nice female voice sounded.
A woman hurried out of the repair shop, and Han Xiao's eyes lit up immediately.
Her skin was white, with a healthy rosy glow. She was about 1.65 meters tall. Her appearance was not stunning, but she was the type that was very attractive. Her eyebrows were gentle, and her smile was kind, like the big sister next door. She was about 24 or 25 years old, which was the most beautiful age for a woman. She had a towel on her fair and slender neck, and a black hairpin tied up her hair. Her upper body was a simple black elastic vest, wearing a pair of denim hot pants, revealing her straight white long legs. The crystal sweat on her forehead reflected slightly in the sun. She held a wrench in her hand, and it seemed that she was working just now.
In terms of the way of appreciating women, young perverts look at the face and chest, experienced ones look at the legs and waist, and old drivers mainly look at the temperament. Of course, there is also a group of Teddy bears who are hungry and eat anything, regardless of gender.
As the saying goes, a twenty-year-old woman is like a cherry, beautiful but not tasty, while a thirty-year-old woman is like a grape, beautiful and tasty. Han Xiao has always believed that women are most beautiful between the ages of twenty and thirty.
As for a forty-year-old woman, she is like a pineapple, tasty but not beautiful.
What, you want to ask a fifty-year-old woman?
Hey, a fifty-year-old woman is like a tomato... and still thinks of herself as a fruit!
"Excuse me, are you hiring apprentices here?"
The woman's eyes lit up immediately, giving Han Xiao a chill. To describe this look elegantly, it was like a person who had been hungry for three days seeing a full banquet, or a person who had traveled in the desert for ten days seeing an oasis. To describe it more colloquially, it was like a puppy seeing poop, or a baby seeing his grandmother (first tone).
"Come in and sit down quickly, don't catch a cold."
The woman hurriedly stepped forward and pulled Han Xiao's arm into the store, as if she was afraid that he would run away.
Looking up at the scorching sun at noon, Han Xiao squinted and said, "Does catching a cold mean heatstroke in your dialect?"
The repair shop is mainly white, yellow and black, and is divided into two floors.
The first floor is the workshop. Several load-bearing columns separate the space and divide it into three work areas. There are several lathe workbenches, complete with mechanical tools, grinding wheels, cutters, drills, welding guns, etc. The workbenches are scratched and look a bit old. There are several multi-layer iron racks on the wall, stacked with many mechanical parts and metals, similar to a hardware store.
Walking inside, there is a black metal hollow staircase leading to the second floor, which is probably the living room.
"My name is Lv Qian, the owner of this repair shop, you can call me Sister Qian."
Lv Qian said generously.
"Sister Qian." Han Xiao didn't care about the name, and said, "I want to be an apprentice here. I wonder what the requirements are." "Tell me about your situation." Lu Qian smiled kindly. She had a good first impression of Han Xiao. She liked Han Xiao's eyes. The decadent dead fish eyes looked like a decadent young man who was just waiting to die and had no fighting spirit. The salary requirements must not be high. "Han Xiao, I'm 21 years old this year. I came from another place. I know some superficial mechanical technology. You can also call me Technician Han." Technician Han? Lu Qian thought this title was strange. "From another place, you are not a student of Xidu College?" The universal knowledge of the universe obtained by Hailanxing includes the basic training knowledge of superpowers. Xidu College is the official college of Xinglong. All the students are selected from all over the country. It systematically teaches superpower knowledge of martial arts, mechanics, and superpowers. Excellent graduates even directly take up important positions in the government. It is a talent reserve for the country. However, only one in ten thousand people can become superpowers. Even with a complete training course, the proportion is still very low. "I have only learned a little bit of mechanical theory." Han Xiao is a humble, low-key person who remembers the Eight Honors and Eight Shames.
"What a pity..." Lv Qian felt a little regretful, then realized that this was a bit disrespectful to others, and hurriedly explained: "Sorry, I didn't mean that."
"It's okay."
"I have to check it out. Although I need an assistant, I won't hire if the skills are not up to standard..."
It's reasonable, so Han Xiao naturally has no objection.
Lv Qian took out a faulty home appliance and prepared to let Han Xiao repair it. At this time, the short old man who was playing chess at the door suddenly spoke: "Boy, why do you want to apply for an apprenticeship?"
Lv Qian looked puzzled. Grandpa's question was really strange. Of course, he was looking for a job.
Han Xiao turned around and looked at Lv Qian's grandfather, Old Man Lu, and said, "I just want to find a job."
Old Man Lu snorted without comment, pushed the chessboard away, stood up and walked over.
"I am the owner of this shop. You must pass my test before I allow you to stay."
The old man Gao, who was about to connect five white chess pieces, said helplessly: "Hey, you are cheating again."
"I have something to do." Old man Lu said without blushing or panting.
"Shame on you." Old man Gao looked helpless and could not play chess, so he had to follow.
