Ninth class citizen

Chapter 169 Ace Maintenance Engineer

The noise stopped, a large door opened on the alloy pillar, and two more mechas were carried out.

Master Wan immediately left the Gray-Headed Soldier and rushed directly to a damaged mecha. After taking a quick look, he came up to the mecha soldier standing by and started whispering about the price.

The mecha warrior was obviously very straightforward. Master Wan's mustache curled up, and with a wave of his hand, five or six workers rushed forward to help send the mecha to the vacant repair dock for fixation.

Gray Warrior watched all this in silence, with a self-deprecating smile on his face.

It was at this time that General Manager Jin walked up to him and smiled:
"3 Cowans, guaranteed to fix it," she said.

"But I only have 2 Cowans." Gray Warrior said helplessly.

"That's fine." General Manager Jin sighed, "For the first business, we always have to make concessions."

Once the money was in place, the seven members of the society got to work enthusiastically.

When it comes to mecha repair, Shen Yishou is the only professional in the club.

A good mecha modifier must first be a mecha repairer.

Of course, because of Nan Rong's performance in mecha modification in the group competition, he, like other club members, naturally asked her to coordinate.

But Nan Rong flatly refused.

She had chosen to modify the mecha previously only because of the special simple double-circuit pattern left by the fat man, which could be used to cheat.

We need to carry out systematic repairs now. If we really accept the overall command, we will be seen through in minutes.

The club members didn't think much about it. They just thought Nan Rong was being modest and had no interest in this simple and unskilled mecha maintenance.

So they did all the basic work of shaping the shoulder armor and repairing the long sword by themselves. General Manager Jin even found a clean seat for Nan Rong to rest, and went out to buy two cups of hot cocoa, and they chatted while drinking.

The original intention of the Divine Hand was to try not to trouble Nan Rong. However, when repairing the transmission device of the left knee joint, technical difficulties were encountered.

"I didn't see it before, but this place must have suffered repeated heavy blows. The inscription pattern in the left knee joint transmission device was squeezed and deformed." Shen Yi scratched his head with one hand:
“So after we finished the sheet metal work, we still couldn’t get through the source energy circuit.”

Nan Rong raised her eyebrows: "The facilities in the maintenance dock are very complete, including detection equipment."

President Roland also came over: "It has been tested. The original pattern is severely damaged. Only a few discontinuous lines can be seen in the detector. It must be re-engraved."

"You don't have to worry about designing the pattern, because you can refer to the right knee joint." Roland passed the derived composite pattern to Nan Rong: "But we didn't expect that there was originally a second-order transmission pattern designed here, and two basic patterns of 'flexibility' and 'toughness' were added. The combination is quite complicated. And our budget..."

He glanced helplessly at the Gray Warrior standing next to him: "The total revenue is only 2 Cowans, and the material cost alone has already cost nearly 6. If too much superconducting material is used, I'm afraid that not only will we not make any money, we will even lose money."

Nan Rong didn't like the word "losing money". She stood up suddenly.

Gray Warrior stood aside, watching them repair the problem anxiously. Now he roughly understood where the problem lay, and felt a chill in his heart.

He knew very well that in the repair of mechas, the prices for those involving pattern engraving and those not involving it were completely different.

The technical requirements for re-engraving and adjusting and re-engraving some of the patterns are also very different. Although there are many maintenance teams in the mecha maintenance hall, there are only a few mecha repairmen who can really re-engraving the patterns, and the price they ask is not cheap.

There is no one that charges less than 10 Cowens.

Just like the Master Wan mentioned earlier, the most he can do is repair the original pattern, and it is extremely expensive.

This newly arrived repair team is really too young.

A low asking price also means less experience. If there were other options, he would definitely not choose them.

He also saw the results on the tester just now.

The patterns that have been damaged beyond repair and can only be re-engraved must be beyond the limit of their capabilities.

He lowered his eyes, suppressing the disappointment in his eyes.

They cannot be blamed for this. If anyone has to blame someone, blame themselves for being too poor, and also blame that Sky-lifting Palm.

He must have done it on purpose. After realizing that he couldn't win, he began to continuously attack the weak joints, with the intention of making himself pay more price.

Gray Warrior tried hard to control himself and did not turn his head to look at the Sky-Hand that was repairing the dock next door.

But the other party seemed to have been paying attention to this side. He actually strode towards him with a smile on his face: "It is said that there is no deal without fighting. We are quite friendly now. After you repair the mecha, let's go out for a drink?"

As he spoke, he glanced at the detector on the side, which showed the incomplete knee joint composite conduction pattern.

"My God, it's so broken. It needs to be re-engraved, right?" Qingtian Zhang sighed, "Don't blame me. In the arena, you have to use all your strength. How can you care about these things? If you trust me, I know an excellent mecha repairman. He can definitely help you do a good job, but the fee is a bit high."

"No need." Gray Warrior took a step back and said calmly.

Qingtian Zhang's eyes swept over everyone in the society, and suddenly he laughed: "You are not pinning your hopes on these kids, are you?"

He raised his voice, attracting the attention of many people nearby: "They are just a few youngsters. You are too careless to let them do it. How can you expect them to help you re-carve the inscription? This is simply, hahahaha, hahahaha!"

"That's my business." Gray Warrior said coldly, "Please leave here and don't interfere with them repairing the mecha."

Qingtian Zhang still had a smile on his face: "I really treat you as a friend, so I said a few more words. Don't be greedy for small gains and suffer big losses. I also had a friend who found an unreliable maintenance team before, and guess what happened to him now?"

The malice in his eyes flashed away: "In the next fight, the mecha's energy circuit was completely blocked, and it flew into the sky with a 'bang'! Poor thing, so pitiful! You must not follow in his footsteps!"

Gray Fighter was so angry that he was shaking. However, the Zero Boundary Matrix strictly prohibited fighters from fighting privately outside the arena. Violators would not only be expelled, but also face other penalties for breach of contract. He had no choice but to endure it.

Roland walked up to him at this moment.

"I know what you want to say." Gray Warrior said, "You have done your best. I will find a way to deal with the pattern myself."

"You probably misunderstood. I just wanted to tell you that we promised to repair it, and we will definitely take responsibility to the end, which naturally includes re-engraving the pattern."

He stretched out his hand and pointed at Nan Rong in front of him: "Our team has its own ace maintenance engineer."
