338 Ordnance Engineers
The coming disaster originally made civilians panic, but now everyone on the street was smiling, as if the return of the superpower had dispelled their fear.
"I'm taking you into the city, and according to the regulations, I have to accompany you the whole time," Railton said.
Han Xiao was confident and said: "Your tribe seems to worship superpowers."
Railton said calmly: "To be precise, I am grateful. The ethnic group has suffered drastic changes and moved to this dangerous planet. It has not yet established a firm foothold after so many years. The efficiency of collecting resources is too slow and is not enough for its own consumption. Many materials have to be obtained from
Interstellar purchases, and productivity cannot afford foreign trade.
Therefore, in our tribe, powerful enough superpowers will enter the interstellar space and become mercenaries, and most of the rewards will be handed over to the tribe. This is an important economic pillar of the tribe. Otherwise, there would not be enough resources to manufacture so many weapons, and they would not be able to survive the disaster.
"
Han Xiao understood that the Sunil tribe, as a civilization in trouble, was in dire straits and was waiting for improvement. For the time being, it could only rely on powerful individuals and a group of supers to feed the entire tribe, so they were treated like heroes and became superpowers in the eyes of civilians.
It is an honor, so all the people practice martial arts.
Han Xiao still remembered that Railton cared about money. However, in fact, almost all of Railton's remuneration was handed over to the tribe. He lived frugally just to make more money for the tribe.
"Relying solely on the strength of individuals to support the economy is pathological for a civilization." Han Xiao said.
Railton nodded: "It is true, but this is a helpless choice. Ultimately, it is because the disaster has slowed down the recovery of the ethnic group, so it has to spend a large part of the expenditure on manufacturing weapons to resist the disaster, and cannot expand quickly.
Construction has caused a lot of unnecessary losses.
If the evil is not completely solved, this vicious cycle cannot be broken, and the ethnic group will live in suffering and never be able to get rid of the bad situation.
We have taken many measures, and even considered killing all the beasts, but this is the last resort. Regardless of whether we can do it or not, once the ecological chain collapses and the links are interlocked, the entire planet will go from being full of vitality to decay. So the ethnic group
Another method was chosen to mine the Quilstone veins, to eliminate the evil from the source, with minimal harm. This work has been going on for many years, removing the ore bit by bit. As long as you persist, sooner or later, the spiritual undercurrent will disappear.
, by that time, the ethnic group will no longer be troubled by evil..."
Railton's indifferent face showed a hint of yearning, and he murmured: "The difficult moments will eventually pass."
Han Xiao has a basic impression of the Sunil tribe. This is a very tenacious race. The greater the ability of a superpower, the greater the responsibility. For the continuation of the race, they will work hard without complaint...
"such a pity……"
Recalling the development trajectory of the Sunil tribe in his previous life, Han Xiao couldn't help but sigh.
After entering the city, the superpowers dispersed and went back to their homes, and the crowd gradually dispersed.
Han Xiao followed his memory, walked around and around, and gradually walked into the deserted alley, stopping at the door of a black narrow door. The sign next to it had a wine glass painted on it.
"Bar? The person you want to visit is here?" Railton frowned.
"Any questions?"
"……No."
Railton's face was expressionless. In his heart, he despised all people who spent money to enjoy themselves, thinking it was a waste of money and a waste of life.
After all, he has lost the function of enjoyment.
Opening the door, the lights in the bar were dim and there was not a single customer. The city was in a tense period and almost no one was getting drunk. Han Xiao walked to the bar and heard slight snoring coming from behind the bar.
Technician Han looked over and saw a man lying on the ground behind the bar, with his face pressed to the floor, soundly asleep, and a pile of empty wine bottles beside him.
boom!
Han Xiao slammed the table vigorously and said: "We have guests, get up!"
The man moved his fingers first and let out a lazy hum from his nostrils. Then he slowly got up, exhaling the smell of alcohol. His eyes were sleepy and dull. He hadn't recovered yet and said vaguely: "What are you drinking?"
"Two glasses of signature."
"One cup is enough," Railton interrupted.
"Give me the money first." The man yawned.
Han Xiao took out his communicator and was about to transfer money when the man suddenly smiled mockingly, "Dear, you don't want to pay in Innar, do you? This is a small business and I only accept local currency."
Railton frowned. He was usually active in the interstellar world, and the currency of the Sunil tribe was of little use to him. He was about to help Han Xiao pay the bill. At this time, Han Xiao smiled and said: "I don't have local currency, so use
Can I pay the bill elsewhere?"
Without looking at Han Xiao, the man took out a bottle of wine from under the counter, opened it, took a sip, and said casually: "What is it?"
"A name."
The man's mouth curved downward, showing a very impatient look. He glanced at Han Xiao and said angrily: "I'm not interested in playing guessing games. If you don't drink, get out of my bar."
"Delphis."
Han Xiao's tone was calm, but it was like thunder in the man's ears.
The man was about to raise his head to drink. His laziness disappeared and his face became expressionless. He didn't look drunk at all. The drunkenness in his eyes disappeared instantly, and a compelling light burst out, staring into Han Xiao's eyes.
He slowly put down the wine bottle and said slowly: "Sit down and wait. I'll wash my face first."
After saying that, the man walked out of the bar and went to the toilet.
Han Xiao was the only two people left at the bar. Railton suddenly said: "You don't know him at all. You are not visiting an acquaintance."
"I know his brother, so I came to visit him." Han Xiao explained casually.
This drunken boss’s name is Melos, Delphis is his brother, and the sub-profession that Han Xiao likes is called [Ordnance Engineer]. For players, this sub-profession is very rare, and there are channels for changing professions among the Sunil tribe.
The trigger item is called "The Codex of Delphis".
Delphis was a military mechanic of the Sunil tribe before the disaster. He was well-known. Many innovative machines were invented by him. He wrote some of his experiences in diary notes. Later, Dusky Star attacked, Delphis died, and the notes were circulated.
It passed into the hands of his brother Melos and became a relic.
Han Xiao wants to borrow the manuscript from Melos so that he can complete his job transfer.
After a while, Melos returned to the bar and washed his hair. He was a middle-aged Sunil man with light indigo skin. There were several raised lines on his forehead near the temples. He had a lifespan of
About one hundred and fifty years old, other than that, he is almost the same as the human beings in the universe.
Melos opened a bottle of wine, handed it to Han Xiao, and said: "Although I don't know how you found me, my brother's name is worth a bottle of wine. I brewed it myself."
There was strong white smoke coming from the mouth of the bottle, and the smell of wine was pungent. The wine brewed by the Sunil people used the leaves of a certain tree as raw materials, and it had an astringent taste. Han Xiao took a sip and felt the spicy numbness on the tip of his tongue.
, and then expressed his intention.
"I'm a machinist. I've heard of your brother's name and I'd like to borrow his manuscript."
"That's it?" Melos raised his eyebrows, his words tentative.
"That's it for the time being." Han Xiao chuckled, glanced sideways at Railton, and said thoughtfully: "Do you think I have other purposes?"
Melos received a cryptic response, and his tone turned cold: "Is this a threat?"
"No, no, this is goodwill." Han Xiao smiled, "But a good person like you will definitely not have the heart to refuse such an insignificant request."
Railton on the other side has no idea what kind of riddle the two are playing. Are they talking in human language? Why can't he understand it?
Melos seemed to be hesitating, and finally his face became helpless. He turned around and entered the back room. After a while, he came out with an old diary in his hand. He slapped it on the bar and said angrily: "Look
Hurry up and leave."
Han Xiao touched the diary with his finger, and a prompt appeared on the panel.
[You get [Delphis’s Codex]]
Got it! Han Xiao suppressed the joy in his heart, opened the diary, and pretended to read it. It was all written by Sunil. It looked like English cloze, but it didn’t matter if you couldn’t understand it. The same progress prompt popped up on the panel. Just enter
After "reading" this book, you can change your job.
According to the conventional channels for completing tasks, it takes a lot of luck to obtain this handbook, and the steps are extremely complicated. After all, no one knows the identity of Melos in advance, and most people will not favor a bar owner who looks like a passerby.
The normal result is that after getting to know Melos, during a drink, the drunken Melos will miss his brother and take out this relic, and the player will trigger the job change by coincidence.
However, Han Xiao knew his secret information and went straight to the point, skipping the tedious steps and was able to borrow it.
Railton glanced at it and asked doubtfully: "Do you know Sunil's writing?"
Han Xiao closed the book and said, "I don't understand."
"Then you still want to read it?!" Melos stared.
"Just think of me as paying homage to your brother. Thank you for the wine."
Han Xiao put down his diary, smiled, and turned to leave.
Melos shouted loudly from behind: "Inexplicable guy, don't bother me again!"
"Maybe." Han Xiao's eyes flashed with amusement.
After walking out of the bar, Han Xiao opened the panel and looked at the latest prompts. He was in a good mood. He had been stuck on the job transfer request for so long and finally got his favorite sub-profession. The full experience points on the panel could finally be used!
Chapter completed!
