The work at the repair shop was not busy, so Han Xiao had a lot of extra time to do his own things and go out to find extra money.
Klo Scrap Station, the largest garbage station in District 7, had garbage piled up into a small mountain, and various large equipment was being processed non-stop.
This was the territory of the civet cat, the boss of the gray area in District 7. As long as there was a legal system and civilization, it was inevitable to avoid such gray characters who formed gangs and made money by illegal means, just like shadows under the sun, not to mention such a chaotic social environment.
Although Xidu was the capital of Xinglong, many spies from other countries and forces were lurking in this city, and there were also many arms dealers, intelligence dealers, and dark web killers operating secretly, hiding filth. This kind of gray force was a local snake. Although it was well-known in Xidu, it was actually not presentable.
Han Xiao, wearing a mask, walked into the scrap station and was stopped by several fierce men.
"Boy, this is not the place you should come to."
A bald strong man stopped in front of Han Xiao and looked him up and down with ill intentions. In their eyes, Han Xiao's thin physique was as easy to bully as a sheep.
"I want to see the raccoon cat." Han Xiao said calmly.
The group of workers laughed as if they had heard a big joke.
"We don't have time to play house with you. Go home to your mother or we'll break your legs." The bald man raised the wrench in his hand and threatened.
"Does the raccoon cat let a small fry like you represent him?"
"What did you say?" The bald man was furious and grabbed Han Xiao's collar.
Han Xiao stared with dead eyes and said nothing. He put his palm on the brute's wrist and squeezed it gently.
The bald man felt a pain in his wrist and subconsciously let go. He took a look and was shocked to find that there were several purple finger marks on his wrist.
"Friend, what kind of business are you in?" The bald man's face changed and he was alert.
At this time, the bald man suddenly tilted his head, listened to the micro-earphone hidden in the cochlea, put away the hostility on his face, stepped aside to make way, and said in a deep voice: "The boss wants to see you."
Following Wu Ke, the strong man came to a rest stop inside the scrap yard.
A thin man, leaning on the sofa with his legs crossed, shaking a red wine glass between two fingers. Just looking at his appearance, it is hard to associate him with the raccoon cat who controls the gray area of the seventh district.
The raccoon cat said casually: "I heard that you want to see me, what's your name?"
"Technician Han." Han Xiao said casually.
The raccoon cat sneered: "If I think you are wasting my time, you should know the consequences."
It has been a long time since a stranger dared to come to discuss cooperation boldly. He is still a young man who is still wet behind the ears. Out of curiosity, he wants to meet Han Xiao.
Han Xiao raised his eyebrows, and suddenly stretched out his hand, sweeping across the waist of the bald man beside him like a phantom. Before the raccoon cat could see clearly, a pistol had appeared in his hand.
The bald man was shocked and reached for his back, only to find that the gun he had hidden had been taken away.
The brothers behind the cat immediately drew their guns, looking nervous, and aimed at Han Xiao.
"What do you mean?" The cat paused, his heart beating. He knew the bald man's strength very well. He was his right-hand man, and it was no problem for him to fight ten people alone. However, he couldn't keep up with the young man's movements. Who was this man?
Han Xiao moved his fingers like a Rubik's Cube, and the pistol was like a withered flower. In the blink of an eye, it turned into parts that jingled and scattered all over the ground.
"Arms are a highly profitable product for big forces, and I can help you save costs. All I need is a small reward."
The cat was immediately tempted. The boy in front of him could make guns!
Arms are hard currency in the gray area. The price of guns on the black market is very expensive, which is a complete rip-off.
Knowing how to use a gun and knowing how to make a gun are two different concepts. Mechanics who know how to make guns are very popular. Local forces like the Civet Cat can't attract mechanics who know how to do it. Now that a serious mechanic has come to him, the Civet Cat thinks this is an opportunity.
"How do you want to cooperate?"
"I'll make a list later. You bring your own materials and parts. I'll be responsible for manufacturing and assembly. I'll come to work for two hours every morning. The labor fee is 1,500 per pistol, and I'll take away the mechanical garbage I like."
Han Xiao has thoroughly studied the guns of the Germinal Organization, and basic guns can be easily manufactured.
Civet Cat lowered the price fiercely: "All the materials are mine. I can only give you 1,000."
Han Xiao turned around and left without saying a word.
This time the Civet Cat panicked. He just wanted to test Han Xiao's bottom line, but he didn't expect such a big reaction. He hurriedly said: "No, no, just your price."
The price of a pistol on the black market is three or four thousand. Han Xiao's labor fee is within the tolerance range of the Civet Cat. "You prepare the lathe equipment and materials. I'll come tomorrow. I'll go get some mechanical junk first." Han Xiao knew that a mechanic who mastered the technology had a lot of dominance in this kind of negotiation, and the other party didn't know his identity and combat power.
The raccoon's eyes sank, and he signaled the bald man to follow and monitor. He didn't mind letting Han Xiao taste the sweetness first. Anyway, the scrap yard was his territory, and he had plenty of ways to deal with the liar.
...
Han Xiao picked up a lot of usable parts and left leisurely. He found that there was an extra tail behind him. He knew the raccoon's thoughts very well. He wanted to find out his identity and address. After leaving the scrap yard, Han Xiao quickly circled a few streets and got rid of the tracker.
"In this way, the Thirteenth Bureau will also understand my mechanic ability..." Han Xiao thought to himself. With the intelligence ability of the Thirteenth Bureau, it would be easy to find out that he worked for the raccoon to earn extra money. This was also a way for him to indirectly show his strength. At the same time, he also needed the opportunity to manufacture machinery. Although the mechanic was weak in the early stage, there were pros and cons. Compared with the combat profession, it was more favored by the faction forces and the contribution was increased very quickly.
As for why he chose the raccoon cat, the reason was simple: the distance was close enough, saving him time on the road.
…
Back at the mechanical shop, Han Xiao was questioned by Lu Qian. He had already thought of an excuse and pointed to the large bag of parts he had brought back.
"I went to the scrap yard to shop."
"Scrap yard? That kind of place has bad security, so don't go there anymore." Lu Qian didn't think much about it. As long as it didn't delay the order, she wouldn't care about Han Xiao's free time. She had a natural liking for people who didn't require high salaries, and she would almost always respond to his requests.
Han Xiao put down the parts and focused on the panel. He still had a lot of potential points that he hadn't used, so he just finished learning the remaining two basic knowledge of the armed branch.
The repair shop had a complete set of basic knowledge of the mechanical department. There were few places more suitable for the early development of the mechanical department than the repair shop. The knowledge books were all Lu Lao's personal collection. Han Xiao went to Lu Lao to ask for books, but was turned away as expected.
"I want to read a book on mechanical knowledge."
"Go away, there is no book for you."
"Don't be so stingy, just think of it as supporting outstanding young people and cultivating potential employees."
"...You are thicker-skinned than I thought, but it's useless. I just don't want to show it to you. What can you do?"
This question is well asked. What can Han Xiao do?
The next day, when Lv Qian handed the stolen book to Han Xiao, old man Lv was so angry that he beat his chest.
"Why do I have such a treacherous granddaughter?!"
Lv Qian also had the key to his room, and it was obviously impossible to take it back.
Old man Lv was so angry that his teeth itched.
"Just wait for me. Sooner or later, I will avenge my previous shame and let you go!"
...
"Basic Weaponry" and "Basic Materials Encyclopedia", the last two basic-level professional knowledge of the armed branch.
Han Xiao's level 20 advanced task is to learn an advanced knowledge, and the prerequisite is to learn five basic knowledge of the same branch.
The player's advanced tasks are not fixed. His level 20 advanced tasks are the most demanding. On the novice planet, advanced knowledge is very rare. Han Xiao's advanced requirements make even the level 40 advanced tasks as a player seem difficult.
Ordinary level 20 players may not be able to find all the basic knowledge of a branch. The most unlucky ones have not even unlocked their main profession.
The repair shop does not have advanced knowledge, so you can only learn basic knowledge first, but Han Xiao is already very satisfied. Finding knowledge books is a headache for all players. Some level 40 and 50 players have not learned all the basic knowledge, but the repair shop has a full set of basic knowledge of the mechanical system. This is more than leading at the starting line, and standing directly at the finish line.
The "Pan-Universe Civilization Contact Treaty (Seventh Revised Edition)" between the three major cosmic forces in Xinghai: "If an intelligent species is discovered, it is not allowed to maliciously interfere with the development process of low-level civilizations by war, genetic means, pheromones, etc. 127 means."
Therefore, Aquamarine did not obtain advanced scientific and technological knowledge from interstellar forces. Advanced knowledge is already at the peak, strictly controlled by major forces and regarded as confidential.
