Wasteland Development Diary.

Chapter 63 Iron-Headed Girl
After washing the dishes, Qiansu took out a thin rope from her backpack, tied up several bowls neatly, and then wrapped a thick sponge-like material around them to ensure that they would not be bumped or damaged.

She then wiped the sweat off her face with the back of her hand, a look of joy at having had a good harvest on her face.

Zhou Yi noticed that she seemed to never take off her hat, but she used to wear a white sun hat, but changed it to a warm brown felt hat in winter.

He took a hat from his cupboard and handed it to the other person.

"give you."

This is a retro purple wool hat with a British style, which has been left unused in Zhou Yi's closet for a long time. The main reason is that the hat is too thick and it is a bit stuffy and hot for him.

Giving it to Qiansu who likes hats is like offering flowers to Buddha.

"Thank you!"

Qiansu happily took it and admired it from left to right: "It is indeed a product of the Dead Sea. Even cities on earth cannot produce such fine stitching, and the methods used to process the wool are also different."

She took off her felt hat, and Zhou Yi was stunned.

Because Qian Gu's head was bald, the top of her head was smooth brass, the top of her skull was made of metal, and there were small screws fixed on it. Her hair was also a wig, but it was pressed into the hat and could not be seen from the outside.

It turned out to be a bald girl.

Zhou Yi suddenly felt a little guilty: "I didn't know you were..."

"Actually it's not bad."

Qian Su slapped his metal forehead, making a clanging sound. "Although it is a little different from a normal person, this head has stronger defense. I was hit in the head by weapons a few times. If it weren't for this modified skull, I would have been killed. It's actually not bad to use a wig. It's very convenient to wash your hair. It's actually very troublesome to wash long hair."

Although he felt a little guilty, Zhou Yi couldn't help but be curious: "Why did you become like this?"

The girl in front of me has artificial arms and a part of a metal skull. It is hard to imagine what has happened to her.

Qian Su put on the wig first, and then covered it with the new hat Zhou Yi gave her. "When I was a child, there was a serious explosion in Fengdu City where I lived. When my grandfather found me, my hands and feet were crushed by the collapsed pillars, and there was a big hole in my head. Then my grandfather installed new hands and legs for me, removed the necrotic parts, and replaced the skull. I was very lucky, because many people died at that time."

She fished out a small mirror and adjusted the angle of the brim of her hat until she was satisfied.

"The hat is very nice, the pattern and style are very special, thank you."

Zhou Yi hummed: "Fortunately, the rescue was timely. Is your grandfather a craftsman or a Taoist priest?"

"The grandfather I'm talking about has no blood relationship with me."

Qian Su waved her hand. "Actually, they were several senior craftsmen from the Craftsmen's Office. I call them grandpa. At that time, they found a lot of injured people like me. Since they were dying anyway, no one objected to using them for human experiments. I was lucky and survived. The success rate of this kind of large-scale physiological transformation is very low. Without them, I would have died."

After the two chatted for a while, Zhou Yi picked up the list of goods in his hand and said, "I want all your light blockers."

"You want all of them?"

Qian Su confirmed again: "There are currently two medium-sized light blockers in the trunk of the car, each costing 2 light seeds, and four small light blockers, each costing 150 light seeds. If you buy all of them, you will need to pay a total of 4 light seeds."

"I want it all."

Zhou Yi asked again: "What's the difference between a medium and a small one? Is it just the difference in the number of light blockers?"

Qian Su explained: "Multiple light block boxes allow the chain line to cover a larger area. In the same period of time, the actual power is about four times that of a small light blocker."

"Also, the medium-sized light blockers are packaged by registered craftsmen and will be marked with their own marks, so the quality is more guaranteed. The small light blockers are actually handed over to ordinary craftsmen or assistants for processing and assembly. So it is normal for the price to be five times higher."

That's good.

As long as the thing itself is worth the money.

Zhou Yi thought for a moment and said, "How many light blockers can you get?"

This made the other party stunned.

After thinking for a moment, Qian Su said, "Small light blockers should still be available in Jitou Town. Medium-sized ones can be purchased in cities like Sand Harbor through the shops of the Artisan Club. I'm not sure of the exact quantity."

"It's winter now, and all cities will reduce outdoor labor. Whether it's raw material mining, collection or processing, it will be affected, and all industries will have a certain degree of cyclical contraction...so the output of strengthening equipment will also decrease, and inventory will usually be seasonally scarce."

"I have to go and ask in person to find out how much stock is available. I can't guarantee it."

Qiansu elaborated on the current market situation.

Zhou Yi thought about it and realized that he actually had another choice.

Recursive City.

He immediately said to himself, "Red Falcon, check the light blockers for sale in Recursive City."

A few seconds later.

The drone's voice replied in my head: "There are 422 light blockers on sale in Recursion City, including 7 large light blockers, with unit prices ranging from 1000 light species to 1850 light species. The medium light blocker is priced at 145 light species per unit, and the small light blocker is priced at 25 light species per unit."

Zhou Yi felt emotional.

Online shopping is cheaper.

If a small offline store like Qiansu wants to make money, it cannot compete with such a large group in terms of price.

However, Hong Shun also said: "If delivery is required, the cost will be very high. Each order starts at 100 kilograms, and a tiered fee will be charged for orders over 1000 kilograms. You need to pay first, and then schedule the delivery. Delivery usually takes one month, but now is the busy winter, so a delay of two or three months is possible. In general, Recursive City has always recommended that customers pick up the goods themselves." Recursive City is in short supply of deliverymen, and the labor cost is very high.

Zhou Yi has a headache.

This delivery time is too outrageous.

In the current uncertain environment, it is impossible for me to run to Recursive City 2000 kilometers away.

He collected his thoughts and turned his attention back to Qian Su who was sitting opposite him: "Do you have anything to recommend?"

There are various weapons on the product list, but there is no detailed description, only a price tag.

Qian Su frowned and thought for a while: "With the current configuration here, most of the things in my warehouse are useless. But there is one thing that may be of some use to you."

"This is it."

Her silver finger pointed at a name on the paper.

The Kestrel translated it.

"Antifreeze oil spray bottle", 2 light types/piece.

The price is not expensive.

Qian Gu said: "Now it is winter, the temperature will remain very low for a long time. In this case, the light blocker will be affected by the low temperature, resulting in scaling, rust, local cracking and freezing of the cylinder and cover inside."

"With antifreeze, it can provide protection and allow the light blocker to operate normally. It is very simple to use. Just spray the antifreeze on the outside and let it cover the surface."

"For the batch of light blockers you purchased, two spray bottles of antifreeze oil are needed for the medium-sized ones in winter, and one small one is enough. A total of eight will be enough to get through this winter."

Zhou Yi immediately said he bought it.

But he was curious: "What about when it's hot in the summer? Do we still need coolant?"

"correct."

Qian Su gestured with his fingers: "The light blocker itself has a copper and iron structure that carries the light print structure. If used for a long time in summer, it will be overloaded by high temperature, causing accidents or even damage."

"Give me some coolant, too."

Just like that, Zhou Yi took the two types of maintenance accessories that were designed to protect against high and low temperatures.

The transaction is now concluded.

Qian Su suddenly said, "There is one more thing."

"The Lord of the Sea in the Sand Port area has asked me to say hello to you. He said he welcomes you to be his neighbor and hopes that we can cooperate and trade with each other in the future."

Finally met the lord of the sea.

Zhou Yi looked at the girl and said, "Tell me about this Lord Sha Hai."

"Mr. Zhou, Lord Shahai is the real owner of the Shagang area. With Shagang City as the core, including the three towns of Qingcong Town, Oasis Town, and Jitou Town surrounding this city, as well as a large area of the Dead Sea in the west, all belong to Lord Shahai's territory."

Qian Su sat on the sofa and said seriously, "But like most sea lords, the Duke of Sand Sea doesn't interfere much in Sand Harbor. It only sets the general direction, collects taxes, and ensures local order and stability. Its focus is on the Dead Sea area, because the real threat to a sea lord is usually another sea lord."

"Shagang is surrounded by the sea on the east and west sides, and the desert area on the north and south sides. It looks like a long belt. In the early days, it was extremely dependent on mining minerals in the desert for trading. After the Duke of Shahai took over, he transformed Shagang into a foreign trade port and it existed as a trade transit point. The dangers and disadvantages of the past have become advantages."

She said softly, "Regional resources and overall strength are not strong in Sand Sea Duke. But through years of recuperation and adherence to neutral trade, Sand Port has gained a living space and is now somewhat famous."

"When I was staying in Shagang, Lord Shahai sent his confidant to find me and expressed his friendship and goodwill towards you. He hoped that if you have anything to sell, you can give it to Shagang to sell it to other places, or export it to further places. Shagang will provide you with the most favorable conditions..."

What Sha Haigong meant this time was very simple: harmony is the most important thing, and making money and development are important.

Zhou Yi had a good first impression of this sea lord whom he had never met before.

We are all moving in the same direction.

Zhou Yi suddenly thought of something else: "Is it trying to get close to me because of the organ horn?"

Tianjin Knight Cui Mao was in Shagang. After he went back to report, Lord Shahai naturally knew the situation here.

"The events of the Organ and Emerald City definitely had an impact, but Lord Shahai expressed his stance so quickly, so it has more to do with the person outside."

Qiansu looked out the window.

Outside, the hunting sea was transforming into a flower shape, floating in the air and absorbing the little dead light left in winter.

"The Ridgehunters are patrolling high in the sky here... everyone has to think carefully about it." The girl said with a smile.

Zhou Yi didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Unexpectedly, after the Spine Hunters joined, the first person to be intimidated was the sea lord who had been watching from the sidelines.

Anyway.

Give this kid credit.
