Chapter 393 Semi-finished products and design drawings

next day
Game timeAM07:31
East area of ​​Anka Bazaar, outside the Golden Raspberry Auction House
Mo Tan appeared in a secluded alley...in a trash can at the corner.

The reason is self-evident. Naturally, the place where he went offline is full of NPCs, and there are many powerful and sensitive existences in it, so that even the system can't find one that can make him appear quietly. The only way is to find a nearby trash can and throw him in it.

Fortunately, the level of environmental treatment here is relatively high, and there are not many residential houses nearby, which greatly reduces the proportion of kitchen waste. Otherwise, the ink sandalwood planted from the trash can must at least carry a certain charm- The 99' DBUFF lasts until he takes a bath next time, and it takes at least ten minutes to get back to the Blue Carp House from here, and he has to go through the East District where most of the people are buzzing...

"Well, that's good enough."

Mo Tan murmured something in a low voice, then smiled at several stunned passers-by while helping up the trash bin lying beside him, until he cleaned up the waste paper, rotten boots, anti-counterfeit labels and other sundries scattered on the ground He left quickly, with a somewhat embarrassed expression on his face.

Those people looked at him just now, as if they were looking at a social animal who is used to tidying up his lawn before going to work...

Although there are not many social animals whose home environment is similar to a trash can these days, you have never seen a character who dares to live in a real trash can and tidy up before leaving.

[At least not a septic tank...at least not a septic tank...]

Mo Tan comforted himself silently, then walked into the municipal library with the slight peculiar smell, and quickly rushed into the public washroom on the first floor under the strange eyes of several receptionists. After changing his equipment, he rinsed his head, tail and other parts before returning to the hall, then went straight up to the second floor, and walked around for several minutes before finding the remote library with the signboard of 'cooking'.

There are four or five rows of white oak bookshelves inside, on which are neatly listed all kinds of... Messy books, at a glance, Mo Tan found that most of the titles were related to cooking and cooking, but he doubted that "The Story of Ganola Beet" A hundred ways of using those heavy tastes can not understand the soft taste" and "How the true meaning of life stimulates your taste buds with (excessive) salt and sauce" What are the people who put together these two books, what are they thinking next to The book "The Subtle Differences and Commonalities of Seventy-Three Kinds of Spicy Peppers" is also very strange...

At this moment, a gust of fragrant wind blew by, and Ji Xiaoge, who was holding a copy of "How to Conquer the Stomachs of Diners Instead of Killing them", appeared in front of Mo Tan, smiling like a flower: "It seems that no matter where you are, The conflict between the sweet party and the salty party is very strong."

Obviously, she also saw the books that Mo Tan was staring at just now, whether they were recipes or papers.

"I generally avoid talking to people about these kinds of deep issues anyway."

Mo Tan shrugged and said apologetically, "Sorry, I'm a little late."

While speaking, he suddenly caught a glimpse of the book in the other party's arms, and his eyes suddenly became complicated.

"What's so surprising~"

Noticing the former's gaze, Ji Xiaoge wrinkled her nose and made a grimace: "It's not that I'm self-aware, I definitely don't want to spend my whole life cooking dishes that make others eat and fall down the steps!"

Mo Tan coughed dryly, held it back for a long time before nodding sincerely and said: "It's really hard work for you..."

"If you can't say it nicely, don't say it."

The girl snorted softly, flapped her wings and flew to the bookshelf behind her, shaking her impeccable calves like works of art leisurely, and said with a smile: "Many players on the forum said that this game There is an anti-blooming setting in it, if you look up now, will you not be able to see anything?"

Because there is no one else here, Ji Xiaoge doesn't need to avoid words such as 'forum', 'player', and 'game'.

Mo Tan didn't look up, but turned sideways helplessly, and said with a wry smile: "Don't make trouble, don't make trouble, if I look up now, I will probably be dazzled by the flash bomb you newly researched."

"Tch, it was discovered..."

Ji Xiaoge stuck out her tongue, put away the new trial product that was upside down in the palm of her right hand, then suppressed her smile and said, "Before you came, I had secretly greeted Sister Chris, prepare to make a backup plan, Those guys really aren't brainless enough to bring a few slaves to the auction to sell them."

If those members of the Viper Chamber of Commerce blatantly traded slaves directly, they would directly report to the more influential bosses in the market through Chris. This thing is quite reliable, and the other party is not mentally retarded, so he came to the scene to perform a plot that only appears in third-rate knight novels.

"It's normal. The slave in the car is probably already booked by a buyer from the beginning."

Because he has more information, Mo Tan, who had no expectations at all, did not show the slightest regret, but said thoughtfully: "But those Vipers did participate in the auction last night, you have been In the field, do you see anything about the thing they bought?"

Mo Tan and Jadka were assigned to the front office last night, and they did not enter the infield like Anthony Dabs who was stationed outside the auction, so I only know that those people did appear in the golden acid as participants. Mei, but it is not clear what the other party bought.

Yaya and Ji Xiaoge, who are girls and have excellent images, were assigned to the infield. It's a pity that the former stayed in the field for less than ten minutes because of being too jumpy. Ji Xiaoge was the only person who witnessed the entire auction.

She saw that those members of the Viper Chamber of Commerce took a photo of an engineering creation that looked like a helmet and had an extremely precise structure, and she immediately told Mo Tan through the news of her friends, but it was a pity that the auction was coming to an end at that time. In order not to delay the face-to-face meeting with Grand Duke Dantis, the author quickly went offline and changed his number (and asked the person in charge to leave early), so he didn't have time to communicate with Ji Xiaoge.

"It was a semi-finished helmet. The seller was a dwarf engineer who was on the verge of bankruptcy due to excessive waste of funds. The auctioneer said at the time that the helmet was passed down by his grandfather who had just died for three and a half days. The specific purpose was unknown, except that it was a semi-finished product. Besides that, there are a few tattered blueprints, and everything else is a mystery."

Ji Xiaoge first gave Mo Tan a relatively simple explanation, and then frowned and began to talk about the details: "Although it is a semi-finished product with unknown uses, it contains many rare materials, such as half a catty of silver dragon scales and high The purity interferes with the magic crystal, so it is eligible to be auctioned at a relatively low position, because even if the helmet is dismantled and the materials sold alone, it can make a lot of money."

Compared with Mo Tan who has no knowledge accumulation in this area, Ji Xiaoge, who has been instilled with a lot of material science theory by Lu Wei, is very aware of the value of those materials, so he casually helped Mo Tan popularize science, for example, if the purity is higher than [-] Fifteenths of the interference magic crystal is qualified to be called 'high purity', and it has extremely important value in many aspects, such as serving as the core component of some engineering creations, or the necessity of some high-level potions or magic scrolls. Material, the higher the purity, the higher the value.

And half a catty of silver dragon scales is something that has a price but no market. Dragon species do not shed scales. Any other method, its value can be imagined.

This also proves that the cheap, high-quality and cheap 'Dragon Scale Armor', 'Dragon Scale Gauntlet', and 'Dragon Scale Belt' on the market are basically parallel imports. [-]. Giving an ordinary monitor lizard a nickname named dragon is also a dragon, so it is also a peace of mind to sell it.

All in all, after Ji Xiaoge's brief explanation, Mo Tan already roughly understood the value of that helmet, um, it was quite expensive anyway.

"And then the key point..."

Ji Xiaoge lightly floated down from the bookshelf, landed in front of Mo Tan and said seriously: "Before the bidding officially started, the auctioneer showed everyone one of the drawings packaged with the semi-finished product, although it only showed less than five Seconds, but I still see something."

Mo Tan didn't have any doubts about the closed disciple of the chief engineer of Tianzhu Mountain in front of him, and asked without thinking: "What is it?"

Ji Xiaoge nodded her lips in distress, and said hesitantly, "How should I put it, it's not so much that I saw it, but rather that I remembered it..."

"Remember?"

Mo Tan successfully aroused curiosity, staring at Ji Xiaoge's slightly tangled face... Then he looked away stiffly, and asked in confusion, "What do you remember?"

I don't know if it's an illusion, but he always feels that the other party's previous sneak attack effect of [One Gu Qing Ren Cheng] is still affecting him.

"It's the incomplete drawing shown by the auctioneer."

The girl shrugged and said uncertainly: "I always feel like I've seen the full version."

Mo Tan was taken aback: "Huh?"

Ji Xiaoge nodded slightly, and said with a sullen face: "I remember it was in the old warehouse on the Seventh Outer Mountain. At that time, the teacher asked me to help him find an optimization plan for the energy supply system of the Rune Body, but I misremembered the number Accidentally opened the cabinet next to it, oh, it's scary to think about it now."

【fear? 】

Mo Tan looked at the girl's expression of lingering fear, and subconsciously felt a little nervous.

"Super scary!"

Ji Xiaoge shivered, and the little pigeon nodded like pecking rice: "That cabinet is specially used by the teacher to store useless drawings, manuscripts, plans, and the history of the second black school. It's scary!!"

Mo Tan couldn't help laughing: "Is it scary because you saw the black history or something because you were discovered by Master Lu Wei?"

"neither."

Ji Xiaoge pursed her lips, and said in shock: "There are too many things inside. Just imagine, a cabinet that has been expanded by more than [-] space runes but barely enough to be closed. The kind that can be barely closed with a crane, and then there is a sudden 'bang' when it is opened. Alas, if I didn't jump back subconsciously at that time, I probably would have died."

Mo Tan was startled at the time: "Huh?"

"I don't know how many tons of information it weighs!"

Ji Xiaoge let out a clear and melodious mourning cry, covered his head and moaned: "It hit me with a bang! Have you ever felt an avalanche at close range? Well, I don't think you are so unlucky ( Cordoba, far away in the city of Abby, sneezed inexplicably), anyway, it’s enough to appreciate the spirit, woohoo, it’s more than a hundred times more terrifying than an avalanche! I was given the knowledge by “knowledge” when my eyes were dark. Buried alive, there is no place in my body that does not hurt, and I can’t dig it out. If the teacher hadn’t rushed over impatiently, I really doubt that I would be suffocated to death, because the one who was pressed was bleeding all the time. I can’t even go offline.”

Mo Tan watched dumbfoundedly as he subconsciously wrapped himself up with his wings, turning himself into a shivering badminton Ji Xiaoge, and suddenly thought of the reason why the latter turned himself into a 'badminton' when he was excited That's not how it came about.

"Hey, don't think about this for now, let's continue to talk about the main point."

He replaced the meaningless comfort with changing the subject, and asked bluntly: "Did you see similar drawings at that time?"

Ji Xiaoge nodded sadly: "Ang, I saw it when I was dragged out by the teacher, because I thought the helmet on it looked very cool, so I took a second look, and took a picture with those slave traders last night. The ones below are very similar, but the difference is that the one I saw is complete, not only complete but also upgraded several times.”

Her tone was quite confident, obviously she didn't feel that she had made a mistake, and the confusion between her brows seemed to be wondering why those slave traders sold the thing.

Mo Tan, who had become serious, nodded lightly, and asked slowly: "Do you still remember the purpose of that thing? The one in the full version in the Seventh Outer Mountain."

"I didn't think about it yesterday, otherwise I would have sent a message to tell you."

Ji Xiaoge wrinkled her little nose, and then said seriously: "But I remembered it during the day today, um, you know what I'm talking about refers to the daytime in reality, except for those that I really don't remember, the simple words are- —It can amplify the mental power of the controller to cause indiscriminate chaos to the surroundings, and interfere with the thinking ability to a great extent, referred to as the wide-area thinking interference device.”

Mo Tan frowned: "Well, I understand, it looks very powerful."

"Haha, what a great deal."

Ji Xiaoge snickered, spread his hands and said, "The effect of that thing is exactly the same as that of a remote high-level arcane magic called [Psychic Concussion], and the cost is outrageously high, otherwise how could the teacher do it?" Put that set of blueprints in that broken cabinet."

Mo Tan choked for a moment, and then said in confusion: "No, if it's really useless, why would those people buy it? Disassemble it into materials and sell it for money?"

"No, if you only count the materials, yesterday's transaction price itself has overflowed a lot."

Ji Xiaoge shook his head without thinking, then narrowed his eyes and took a deep breath
"Actually, I already have some ideas."
