If she hadn't lost her voice, Lin Shenxue should be able to speak the past tense on the stage now... No, that is the past tense.
She covered her mouth and staggered back two steps, her heart almost beating out of her chest - but Haoxuan still held it back and tried to look more curious.
It's not that she's afraid of the fact that Cypher is a robot, it's just...how to put it, this is the environment she lives in.
To humans, any machine that can move on its own cannot be said to be an out-of-control servitor, but at least it must be said to be a serious agreement.
So what exactly is Seifer... It's hard to say. At least Lin Shenxue can still communicate with him now. It's hard to say whether he is an enemy who will go crazy at any time.
After she didn't look so shocked, Seve put on his helmet and said, "Okay, let's stop talking here. I'll go buy some things and fix your tablet by the way."
"Before that, you can go to the warehouse to see if there are any supplies such as paper and pens. This car is relatively small, so you won't get lost, right?"
Lin Shenxue nodded.
So Seifer went to Node City with peace of mind and went to the boss of the trading area to get the goods... By the way, there was no other economic gain from this vision. This independent mercenary identity license was still in the hands of others. .
On the way, he slowly told Laika about the giant train he experienced in the vision, and the silent monster that surged on the snow like a river.
There is also the kind of giant machine that can shake the human body like an egg when you ride on it. During this period, Laika interrupted several times and asked him how he could withstand that kind of force?
Because it is the body of a machine... Cypher thought for a moment and answered seriously: "Because I may be stronger."
"Hmph... forget it, but I have an impression of the content of the vision you mentioned. Even the thing you are driving is not a unique product of the vision."
"Independent mercenaries form their own teams and take over jobs from various companies in the desert. But the price of each independent mercenary is different."
Laika sent a price list. In addition to the basic commission price, each price list has additional value at the end to attract famous mercenaries.
"When moving a stronghold, you must consider possible encounters. However, a huge vehicle body will move too slowly and be vulnerable to enemy fire. Even so, some mercenaries will choose a giant vehicle body. Do you know why, Red Crossbow?"
"have no idea."
The too simple answer made Laika silent for a while before continuing to explain that the technology in this vision has been applied to a certain extent in the company's mines, production facilities, R&D institutions, etc.
Some independent mercenaries can obtain driver's licenses after certification on the [Independent Mercenary Support System] platform, purchase and drive self-developed units, and complete tasks more efficiently.
The dispute between aggression and counter-aggression, armor and artillery...
Seve felt as if he had gone home, but he just nodded slightly: "I see, so where should I go to get this license?"
"What are you talking about, Red Crossbow. Your mercenary license includes a driver's license. Otherwise, why is there such a high penalty?"
As if educating someone without common sense, Laika said in an old-fashioned tone: "In short, you first find a way to earn enough money to operate an independent mercenary license again, and then think about this."
"If you receive a mission to defend certain facilities, or if the information is unclear, the enemy unit is unknown, etc., I suggest you refuse directly. With only a single soldier and light equipment, you will soon die in the conflict."
Seifer thanked her seriously for her advice, which made Laika a little confused about how to answer the conversation. After all, she had not been in contact with many independent mercenaries, and being able to talk to death was also a talent.
"In short... the company will provide you with weapons and equipment, whether they are refined weapons for individual soldiers, weapons for large equipment, or even customized mobile strongholds... Make money, there should be a lot of business in Edge Node City."
It should be said that there are a lot of things, because in just a moment, Seifer saw a bunch of tasks related to reconstruction and exploration appearing in the independent mercenary system.
There are even several commissions that require freight vehicles to form a fleet to transport materials to another city to build a new fixed site for anomalies, which are expensive.
The business district is still so lively, and the bosses in the cubicles are in high spirits. After this collapse, their business received a boost, and everyone wanted to explore the new vision—including the restaurant owner.
When mercenaries are dispatched, it is impossible to bring less food and drink. After processing the worms just purchased, won't there be somewhere for the high-quality protein to be used?
Passing through the bustling crowd, as possibly the only weirdo in the city wearing protective clothing, Seifer was immediately recognized by the boss he had previously entrusted with - he waved to Seifer to enter the room.
He took out the box without hesitation. After opening it, Seve saw that inside was a lifelike head sculpture made of soft material.
The facial features are quite exquisitely made, and the fair and indifferent face is also very nice, but no matter how you look at this head sculpt... it doesn't look like what you want, does it?
"Boss, you..."
"The product you want is rarely used, so it is only purchased by customers who need to record videos without showing their faces, and customers who need personal necessities."
The boss explained this, and then took out a box. When he opened it, it was full of artificial hair: "What kind of hair do you like? Please note in advance that these things are not heat-resistant, so do not leave them in an overheated environment."
...If I remember correctly, what Seve described was a face that could not be said to be Chinese, but at least he was upright, with thick eyebrows, big eyes, and the face of a researcher with regular features. Why did you give such an answer?
"The machine that makes this thing is not here. I spent a long time picking it up, so I can just sell this one. Don't be picky. It's good to be able to buy what you like these days."
The boss seems confident. He may be the only one selling this thing here.
Seifer was also confident. He crossed his arms and began to have a reasonable exchange with the boss for a price difference of tens of dollars - the result? Needless to say.
As a result of his usual battle of wits and finances, Seifer purchased a head sculpture... and other accessories at a 10% increase in price.
Judging from the boss's pained expression, he may have really only earned a tiny bit of hard work and wasted so much time.
"Happy transaction, and I want to ask... can you repair electronic products?"
This was probably his old job. The middle-aged boss put the heavy box on the ground and took the tablet with a cracked screen that was handed over by Sever.
"Your board... the screen is broken. There is no problem in repairing it, but it will take some time."
As a habit, the boss wanted to put it away and do it later, but saw Seve standing quietly.
"you……"
"I hope you can fix it as soon as possible, I'm in a hurry, preferably now, right here, immediately and immediately, thank you."
The boss was going to explain that he had other work on hand, but he saw that Seve had already sat down and looked at him through the helmet. Since the mercenary had been fighting so many battles that his brain was not working, he decided to give up the explanation.
"Now that it's repaired, I can add another 5% for the repair fee and 5% for late-night snacks and drinks."
The shop owner was not hesitant. He immediately pulled out the workbench and set it up. He quickly took out the tools and asked Seve to wait in the lounge for a while.
Many times, many problems are just a lack of money. Once the money is available, the problem is no longer a problem.
Taking advantage of the relatively free time during this period, Seifer locked the door of the lounge and took out a set of things given to him by the store manager... Then he was shocked that people in this world could still have such things in such a harsh environment. A way to have fun.
It was a set of soft, skin-like leather clothes made of silicone. If it wasn't for the lack of touch, Seifer should be able to feel the smooth and soft feel on it.
In a sense, by wearing it, Cypher can be a holster.
It's just that this leather case... doesn't look like the one you ordered?
After taking some time to put it on, Cypher moved his fingers that now looked slender and slender, not like they could hold a weapon but should be used to play a musical instrument. He felt that the technology in this world was really weird.
Raising his hands to close the two soft lumps in front of him, Seifer put on the head sculpture, put on protective clothing, and then picked through the pile of wigs.
It is impossible to say that there are no fluctuations in his heart. In his previous life, Seve could only use a computer on the Internet to look at peepshows. He did not have the first-person intuition he has now.
But there is still the same problem. Although the mind is very active, the machine's body does not need to breathe or react. After the initial curiosity and a little shame have passed, take another look...
It's pretty good, after all, humans are visual animals.
Especially with the cold expression on her face and the short silver hair that she just found out from the wig, after combing it a little bit, she looks like a cold elite special forces soldier (female) wearing protective clothing.
In the next few cartoons, he will show off his beautiful body in the camera, and then be caught and tortured by the enemy.
In daily negotiations, a more graceful posture can often add a lot of points to the negotiation... After slightly adjusting the parameters of the sound-producing equipment, Seve fiddled with it for a long time before contacting Laika.
When he told her that he was going to change his voice, he originally thought that Laika would make irresponsible remarks, but he never thought that Laika would actually prepare several different voices for Seve.
He even recommended two digital voice changing plug-ins from some companies affiliated with the commercial consortium... Why are you so familiar with them?
As soon as Seve came out, the boss raised the tablet in his hand like a treasure: "It's fixed. This thing is more refined than expected. Fortunately, only the screen was broken."
Different from the conversation with Seifer just now, after seeing this calm face, the boss seemed a little embarrassed despite the fact that he sold the head sculpture himself.
In the end, the 5% charge for drinks was reduced, so that Saifu could buy some things from the food stalls on the way back and give Lin Shenxue a taste.
- It's also important to try everything and observe her reaction to determine how it tastes.
