The "Factory" is a semi-free secret realm, which contains many secrets. Its controller is unknown, or even non-existent.
Among them, the "Car Factory" is always in a high-risk state. Weird behemoths and machines are constantly attacking each other, staging a never-ending "behemoth movie". Those who are confident can even deliver food to their door (below the fourth level) Not coming back)......But as long as you don't get close, you can really watch it as a movie.
The "winery" is more subtle, similar to a treasure trove and a trial place. It is not very dangerous and has "door nails" that can be picked up everywhere. It is considered a local newcomer area.
By the way, the winery does have wine, but it seems that only locals can consume and drink it. Many outsiders tried it and drank it themselves.
Further afield? As of now, there are power plants, garbage treatment plants, etc., but because they are too dangerous, no one goes there.
The current commercial and residential areas are accommodation areas for "factory employees". Except for some extremely dangerous "office workers" who come back to sleep at dusk, they are relatively safe.
Although the overall style of this place maintains the large factory style of the 1970s and 1980s, it was actually discovered in the early 1990s. After expert investigation, it was found that it was not a false history that was repeated over and over again, but a space that had been cut out. .
Why? unknown.
But some people say that a god or a god-level aberration is imprisoned here.
In the world of the Keepers, weak people knowing too much will only lead to misfortune, while those with sound minds will not pursue too much.
In a sense, it is precisely because there are too many "unknowns" and "risks" here that the Alien Management Bureau and the military have jointly enforced laws several times, all with the excuse that "the other party escaped and may enter an unknown area", "the street "There are no customers on the market, and all the stores sell legal goods" is the end result... Of course, the root cause is that he has the value of existence.
Andri, whose real name is a code of unknown characters, is a steam elf in the human mouth and a member of the small maintenance robot group of the "factory".
Their group is a derivative and product of the entire factory, and is responsible for the maintenance of common equipment such as pipelines, factory areas, and living areas.
But as an intelligent creature, while completing its work, it must also have certain hobbies and desires... At least, this kind of character setting is comprehensive.
Andri's hobbies are a little more special, which also gives him a slightly subtle name on the human side.
"'Newcomer Ant Lion' Andre, is this your greeting gift?" Lu Ping'an smiled and read out the title in the information.
This bad name shows that he has been deceiving newcomers for a long time and leading them into a trap.
It is true that steam elves will not attack outsiders. Their design functions do not have responsibilities such as "protection" and "alertness". When faced with attacks from outsiders, they can only fight back blindly and ignorantly, just like if they are broken. of vacuum cleaner.
As a server, he doesn't even have a lie module, but circumventing his own limitations to trick people is one of his interests.
"It's funny, newcomer, you recognized me and followed me?" Little Andre was a little curious.
This is his most commonly used "alley", but the two thugs who serve as "traps" are already lying on the ground.
Although these were two professionals with average strength, the fact that they were gone so quickly was enough to prove the strength of the young people in front of them. The elf was a little curious.
Lu Ping'an smiled, but there was no concealed disappointment in his words. "I also expected you to bring me something interesting, but...that's it?"
"Human, may I know your name?"
“Have a safe journey, a safe journey, a safe journey.”
"Recording completed..." A flash of light flashed in the elf's eyes. After this memory is recorded, even if it is "returned to the factory and remade", it will not forget the person in front of it.
"...Do you need tour guide service? Mr. Lu Ping'an." As if the betrayer was not him, the elf asked the same words.
But this time, the exchange of names itself also means the establishment of a service contract.
"Of course, find something interesting for me." Lu Ping'an smiled and directly stated his needs.
In the next period of time, little Andre also fulfilled his duties as a tour guide and introduced a bunch of interesting places to Lu Pingping.
Blood soaked the ground in the factory area, and the "meat" assembly line was operating normally, reminding Lu Ping'an of his own processing plant in the port area. Perhaps, this is the origin of some of the goods outside... It seems that in terms of cruelty to the weak, There is no difference between humans and aliens, except that the result of one is to sell and the result of one is to eat.
"Don't get me wrong, there are several gangs here... Although they call themselves churches, everyone actually calls them gangs. Well, these guys don't have the guts to provoke the SWAT team like this. Most of the ingredients are made of some kind of The clones obtained in this way, see if their appearance is exactly the same."
"Most? That's a small part..."
"Replicas are of high quality and low price, and the price-performance ratio is extremely high, but the quality is still inferior to normal people... If you have money, you can order specific products. If you need a style, tell me, I can give you a 20% discount, of course, even so, I still have a 10% commission."
When Lu Pingan walked into this illegal black factory, the guard only glanced at the leading black elf and ignored Lu Pingan, who looked curious.
But when Lu Pingan came out, they were a little surprised... It seemed that they regarded Lu Pingan as a "commodity" delivered to their doorsteps by the black elf.
However, Lu Ping'an acted as calmly as if he were going shopping, which made them afraid to move.
In the antique shop full of strange products, the strange lion-headed guard asked Lu Ping'an a bunch of philosophical questions.
Including unanswerable answers such as "If your mother and wife fell into the river, who would you save?", quite subtle answers were derived.
"Of course Mom, I don't have a wife."
"You will have it in the future." This lion head is very humane.
"It won't happen." Lu Ping'an said firmly.
The big lion head was silent. It could see the lie and the other party really thought so.
"For example, just pretend she exists."
"What's an analogy for something that can't exist? Pure fictitious assumptions can only lead to meaningless results. I'm not interested in playing tricks with you." Lu Ping'an was calm, looking at each other like a child.
Okay, we really can’t talk anymore, so Lion Head decisively moved in.
"...There is a train rushing over. On two tracks, one is filled with 100 people who have nothing to do with you, and the other is your friends. You must have the mechanism of change in your hands. Which side do you choose?"
"....How can one hundred people be tied to one track?"
"Hypothesis, hypothesis, this hypothesis can happen, so it makes sense. The previous answer does not count."
"Then I can know, what is the level of that friend over there? A good friend? A girlfriend? A fair-weather friend? If I make such a choice, will it be known to the outside world and lead to my social death?"
Lu Ping'an's plain words made Lion Head angry as always, but he could only grit his teeth and add more "conditions".
Finally, after half an hour, Lu Ping'an, who had filled in at least fifty conditions, answered with interest:
"Oh, she is my childhood sweetheart, and we have a pretty good relationship. We once had a love triangle. Everything that happens here will be reported. No matter what I choose, I will definitely die socially, but any one of those hundred people will You and I have no social contact within six people... Actually, you don't need to add so much. I will definitely choose 'friends' when this question comes up. The life or death of strangers is none of my business."
Lu Ping'an was still very dull, but the Sphinx on the opposite side immediately became furious, so what's the point of it nagging so much!
"are you crazy?!"
"You just knew?!"
The truth, the unquestionable truth.
The Sphinx, who likes to talk and even nag the most, doesn't want to talk at this time.
But judging from the smile on the boy's lips, he must be teasing the cat on purpose.
"Would you rather choose someone who loves you, or someone you love..."
"You are joking again. Let's not talk about whether I will have love or a lover. Let us define what love is. Is it a chemical reaction, a sociological contract, or..."
The third joke...at least Lu Ping'an thought it was a joke. After a long struggle, it still ended with Lionhead's helplessness.
After leaving the store without buying anything (he couldn't afford it), Lu Pingan casually asked his tour guide.
"If you fail to answer, lie, or get off guard when asked, will you be eaten in one bite?"
"No, I just bite off your right arm. Haven't you heard of the allusion to the lion's head that discerns lies?"
"No. Oh, if you lose your hand, you can still go to the store next door to spend money? Can you get a share of it by the way?"
"Yes, it's a pity that I didn't make any money... But judging from the results, it's pretty good. I also want to play again. Do you have a new goal? This time, I'll let you choose."
After playing around for a while, Lu Pingping also received a small gift from the Sphinx.
[Darian (Young Sphinx)'s Blessing of Wisdom (Silver Level): As a reward for defeating the holy beast of wisdom, your understanding will increase significantly within three days. 】
A seemingly useless little blessing, but Lu Ping'an was a little happy. He even took the initiative to contact the tour guide and changed his sightseeing and shopping plans.
"Introduce me to some books and props that can't be bought outside. Interesting ones will be given priority..."
What? Business? Is there anything serious? It’s such an interesting place, it would be a loss if you don’t see more, paid sex... Naturally, the time spent traveling should be used well.
Something went wrong? Xia Qin gave Lu Pingan three days. As an old social worker, Lu Pingan naturally knew what "three days for one day's tasks" meant?
"Is this telling me not to go back within three days? A big purge? Or is it something that is not suitable for me to participate in? Forget it, it doesn't matter, let's have fun first."
