Let's suffer a little longer, fellow Blue Star folks.

"The leader puts assault armor, Xuan-grade weapons, standard firearms, and so on into the same prize pool, then assigns a corresponding probability to each prize, and finally gives it to us to draw..."

Jiang Qian immediately explained the lottery system to Song Lian in simple terms.

"Oh, this kind of lottery."

Song Lian nodded slightly. As a science and engineering student, the underlying logic of the lottery was not difficult for her to understand. She also immediately calculated the probability of the girl in front of her winning the assault armor.

Less than 0.2%...

What good luck.

"But I don't think I'll have much time to repair your assault armor these days."

Song Lian then turned around to look at the suit of armor placed on the open space outside the house.

When Jiang Qian took it off just now, she had actually done a quick check.

There aren't many obvious scratches on the outside of this armor, so it looks like it hasn't been used very often, and it hasn't experienced any intense fighting.

Normally, as long as you come to her for regular maintenance, it will last for a long time.

But it was probably the war in the demon-occupied area that caused it to suffer two relatively serious injuries to its waist and legs.

Especially the wound on the waist, the scar went all the way from the front to the back, almost splitting the entire armor in half from the middle for nearly ten centimeters.

If the demon's hand had been heavier, or the wound more lateral, some of the wiring connecting the upper and lower parts of the armor would have been cut off, and the energy flow efficiency of the entire armor would have been reduced by at least 70%.

If this situation really happens, then wearing this armor will only be equivalent to a large piece of armor.

So this person's luck is pretty good.

Thinking of this, Song Lian silently looked up at Jiang Qian again. Seeing that she seemed a little confused, he immediately explained:

"It's like this. I've been researching the transport plane in Daxing City for a while now, so I can't get away for the time being."

"But it's a coincidence. Didn't the King of Thousand Kings just bring someone here? He should be able to give it a try."

Before meeting Jiang Qian and Shen Xi, Song Lian actually chatted for a while with Chen Maoxing, who was brought by the King of Gamblers.

According to Chen Maoxing, he actually worked in the weapons research institute in Yunzhong City. He worked there from the age of 24 when he graduated from university to the age of 50 when he left. He dedicated almost half of his life to Yunzhong City.

It was also the year when he was fifty years old. His wife passed away in March, his mother died of illness in June, and his son died in battle in November.

The successive blows made Chen Maoxing alone in an instant, so the institute gave him a long vacation. He simply went with the flow, quit his job at the institute, and left this place where he had no ties.

As for why I came to Yunhe Town, it was purely an accident.

After leaving Yunhe Town, he found a job as a blacksmith in a village near a no-man's land.

Because he had good skills and could make some sophisticated new weapons, he lived a good life at that time. In his spare time, he could even go to the nearby town to have some entertainment.

However, the world is destined that his good days will not last long.

Not long after, the village was attacked by rebels, and the town was unable to provide timely rescue because it was also invaded by demons.

In the end, everyone in the village was captured by the rebels. The elderly, women, and children were all killed by the rebels and used as monthly payments.

Some of the men were forced to join the rebels, others were killed, and only a few with special skills survived.

Among them, he himself.

As for what happened next, Song Lian could guess it, and Chen Maoxing didn't continue.

In view of these experiences, after careful consideration, Song Lian finally chose to recruit Chen Maoxing as a new employee of the military factory.

After all, he was once a senior talent in the Yunzhong City Research Institute, and the fact that he was brought to the military factory by the "King of Thousand Kings" meant that the leader and Xia Keyu had conducted a preliminary inspection of him.

At least this person has most likely never been possessed by a demon!

And there is a high probability that he is not a vicious and evil person.

In this case, there is no reason for her to push talented people away.

"It just so happens that Engineer Chen used to be in charge of mecha research in Yunzhong City, so he's no stranger to armor."

After Song Lian's thoughts turned, he nodded slightly and said.

Now that a capable new employee has arrived, she wants to concentrate on the research of transport aircraft and doesn't want to take time to help Jiang Qian repair the assault armor.

As the new employee, Chen Maoxing naturally has to help her, the factory manager, solve problems!

"So what's the approximate price?"

After Shen Xi saw that the military factory had taken on the job, he immediately asked this soul-searching question.

"Will we pay for the materials to repair the armor? Or will it be included in the final repair cost?"

"Forehead……"

After hearing these questions, Song Lian blinked silently.

That’s right, we charge them money to repair the armor.

This question instantly touched upon her blind spot in knowledge.

To put it bluntly, although she is the director of a military factory, she is ultimately a researcher, not a businessman.

When she helped the gathering place research various weapons, apart from asking Tang Yi and Xia Keyu for funds, she did not consider how much the weapons should cost.

In addition, the guns and armor sold in the gathering places in the past were ordinary guns and armor. Even if they were broken, it would not be their military factory's turn to repair them.

So this order is even the first repair order they have received.

"Um... this is it."

After Song Lian's little brain worked rapidly, he finally chose one of the common methods used by humans.

drag.

"Because the repair work is in charge of Engineer Chen, and the specific repair plan has not yet been determined, the price cannot be given for the time being. I need to discuss it with him when the time comes."

Perhaps because he was quite talented, Song Lian became more and more proficient as he spoke, and his tone became more confident.

"But we'll come up with a repair plan as soon as possible. Do you want to wait here for a while? Or go back first and come back when you have time? Or should I ask Ah Gang or Er Wu Zai to notify you when the time comes?"

Chapter 390 Who to Cling to

Song Lian had actually noticed long ago that there was a way for players to communicate with each other.

After all, she had stayed in the gathering place for so long and experienced so many wars, big and small, and she knew a lot about the rumors and battle reports that had been circulating.

For example, "What?! xxx was captured by the demon, so let's quickly show him the information from the demon!" or "xxx saw xxxx before he died, let's quickly xxxx." And so on and so forth.

Obviously, the information that many players say cannot be explained by ordinary communication equipment.

Moreover, as the director of a military factory, she knew the storage conditions of each warehouse in the gathering place very well.

How many communication devices are there in there?

The answer is: 0

Not a single one.

It would be strange if there is no problem with the communication method between players.

"Then let Agang and the others notify us."

Jiang Qian made this decision without much hesitation.

Now that the new mission has just been issued, even if the two of them have no armor, it is still a waste of time to wait in the military factory for the NPC to come up with a repair plan.

By this time, they might have almost returned to Camp 3 and were ready to head east.

Anyway, Shen Xi had drawn a lot of basic guns and armor before, and now they are all placed in the equipment storage area of ​​the gathering place. They can just go and get a set when they need it.

It is estimated that it will not be used up in a short period of time.

"No problem. Let's put this set of armor here for now. I'll call Engineer Chen to come and take a look later." Song Lian nodded decisively.

After finalizing the armor repair plan, Jiang Qian and Shen Xi did not stay in the military factory for long.

After the two returned to the gathering place and got a set of equipment, they went to the east gate of the gathering place very skillfully and got on the cart heading to the demon-occupied area.

As the number of players' trips continues to increase, the drivers of the trucks become more and more skilled, driving faster and faster, and their methods become more and more wild.

In less than two hours, the players on this bus successfully arrived at the south gate of Camp No. 3.

"Get off the car! Get off the car!"

[Sugar-roasted chestnuts are the best] He jumped down from the cockpit skillfully, then quickly walked to the back of the truck, pulled open the door, and shouted inside:

"Those watching videos and playing games, wake up! And by the way, carry those offline players to the AFK area over there!"

"Don't linger here after you get off the bus! The next bus will have to come in. There's a big map over there showing the various facilities in the camp! If you don't know how to get there, go check it out for yourself!"

Li Zi shouted everything he needed to say, and after making sure that no one was in the car, he got back into the driver's seat and drove away.

He was in a hurry to go east to complete a mission, so he didn't have time to hang out with the newbie here.

"Jiang Jiang, should we go to the camp and find some big guys to lead us? Or should we just go by the two of us?"

After helping to carry several offline players to the AFK area, Shen Xi opened the forum, and while looking at the team-building posts that kept popping up, he turned to look at Jiang Qian.

It turned out that she had squatted down on the side of the road in a very ungraceful manner, and was looking ahead with lifeless eyes, obviously browsing a group chat or a forum.

"I'm already looking."

Jiang Qian said this without even raising his head, and closed the open post in front of him.

In fact, after looking around, she found that most of the player teams heading east from Camp No. 3 were unwilling to recruit them, the newbies in the seventh test.

After all, 'reconnaissance' is ultimately an elite operation. Only when the average level of players in the team is higher, the team can reach further and obtain more intelligence.

Therefore, unless you are related, the requirements in the posts are all above level 13, or even above level 15.

No elite team would want a level 11 player like her, or a newbie like Shen Xi who is not even level 10.

"Then what to do."

Shen Xi simply squatted down beside Jiang Qian, then held his head and looked at the players passing by not far away. He was at a loss for a moment.

After all, their level is not high. If they force their way to the east, they probably won't get any valuable information.

"How about we level up nearby first? After the assault armor is repaired, we can form a team and head east..."

"Eh? It's you guys?"

A familiar voice interrupted Shen Xi's words, and the two girls looked up at the newcomer at the same time.

"What's wrong? Did something happen?"

The [Anal Lift Assistant] looked at the two of them, nodded slightly, and then immediately patted his chest and said:

"If you encounter any problems, just tell Brother An. Brother An doesn't always follow his words in Camp 3, but he does have some abilities."

"As long as I don't offend Brother Shui, Oxygen, Alps, Lao Guang, Chen Lu, or Mirage Tank..."

Then Ah Gang called out more than a dozen names at once, which left Jiang Qian and Shen Xi stunned.

"...I can handle it all!"

At this point, Ah Gang even nodded proudly.

amount……

The two of them blinked silently.

Although they could tell that Ah Gang was quite powerful in Camp No. 3, why did he say that? It always sounded a little off.

"It's not like anything happened."

Jiang Qian immediately explained to Agang the matter of looking for teammates, and also told him about taking the assault armor to the military factory for repairs.

"Oh, I took it to be repaired. No wonder I didn't see you wearing it."

Ah Gang nodded in understanding: "But I'm not in the military factory at the moment. It should be Erwuzai who will notify you when the time comes."

There is no way. Although Agang personally likes scientific research very much, he has too much foreign debt and cannot pay it back in a short period of time by relying solely on scientific research.

Moreover, now he has to pay a copyright fee for each sale of various projectiles, airplanes, including the super-ultimate death missile that was created by hand, which is also a considerable income.

He might as well spend the rest of his time completing the task.

After all, no matter what, he is currently the only powerful person in the late Xuan level in the gathering place, and he masters the "advanced" attribute of thunder, which is both offensive and defensive.

Isn’t the task of intelligence reconnaissance tailor-made for him?
