Chapter 90: Chapter 81: Such a Black Heart
The cleansers were responsible for cleaning the contaminated ruins, and they indeed had the ability to do so, but their defenses were very strong.
Not only could they resist poison and radiation, but they could also kill Mutant Beasts.
This was a type of... construction ch arm with weak impact resistance but strong close combat ability.
However, what puzzled Qu Jianlei the most was: shouldn’t these be controlled equipnt?
As expected, the Flower Scorpion comnted, "Since it’s part of the cha system... this thing should be controlled."
"cha control has long beco a dead letter," Cindy said indifferently. "Things like these, you can get them if you put so thought into it."
Upon hearing this, Qu Jianlei and the Flower Scorpion were both shocked.
The shock was so great that the two didn’t even dare to exchange glances, simply doubting inwardly—do they not even control chas here?
Is there such a large gap between the Hong District and the Zone Zhou Character?
However, Qu Jianlei didn’t remain shocked for long and quickly cald down. "If it’s not a materials issue, it can be fixed!"
"Boss, wait for ," Claire exclaid excitedly as she led the snow mastiff out of the yard.
"Wait for , Ma’am," Old Spencer followed with a wry smile; despite his old age, he could run quite fast.
Not long after, Claire ca back with three people, two n and a woman, all with their faces covered.
One burly man raised his hand in a salute, "I heard that sir can repair the Cleaner Type Three, we took the liberty to visit... sorry for disturbing."
Qu Jianlei waved his hand, expressing impatiently, "No need for pleasantries, just tell
how much you’re willing to pay."
The burly man was montarily bewildered, then laughed heartily, "As expected of soone capable, so straightforward!"
"I just don’t want to waste ti," Qu Jianlei bluntly replied, and indeed he wasn’t just an ordinary straightforward person.
The burly man raised two fingers without hesitation, "Two hundred silver coins... at least!"
"That’s all?" Claire couldn’t restrain herself. "Do you know how much my boss earns in one night?"
"One night?" The burly man was dazed, wondering if a female tycoon had recently arrived in Zhou Six... or perhaps a man?
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Qu Jianlei stopped Claire’s words; he knew she had heard about the battle with the Frost Wolf pack.
But since you’ve deregistered yourself, don’t you realize that the connection is the last thing I want others to guess?
"Did I speak nonsense?" Claire felt wronged, her eyes reddened, "Two hundred silver coins... they aren’t worthy!"
"What’s your complaint," Qu Jianlei remarked casually, "bring the item in, let
take a look."
The burly man signaled with his eyes, and a man stepped out. Soon, a three-wheeler entered the yard.
The truck bed carried the ch arm, about thirty centiters in diater, folded to a length of one ter three.
Qu Jianlei lifted the ch arm single-handedly, pulled out so tools, and sat in the yard to start his work.
"Wow, what strength!" soone murmured quietly.
The net weight of this ch arm was roughly two hundred kilograms, and yet he lifted it with one hand.
"Zhou Six sure has a lot of strange people," the only woman spoke, "let’s see what he’s capable of?"
Qu Jianlei was focused on analyzing the ch arm’s faults and couldn’t be bothered with them—Even if sothing happened, the Flower Scorpion was no pushover.
The Flower Scorpion was indeed diligent, "Silence, do you all want to repair the ch arm or not?"
"A Maintenance Master has his dignity, don’t think that killing a few Mutant Beasts is that significant!"
This was true, great combat power allows looking down on others, but a great Maintenance Master can look down on Adventurers.
What a good partner! Qu Jianlei silently praised... bringing the Flower Scorpion to Zone Zhou Character was indeed the right choice!
Then he looked up and spoke plainly, "The issues lie in the bi-leaf fan for main power output, the main shaft of the support arm, and the triphase hydraulic matching..."
"All these are problematic, making the repair quite complex."
The woman spoke unhappily, "People from Zhou Six just love to play this ga, just na your price!"
Play this ga? Qu Jianlei glanced her up and down and ignored her, "Your side supplies all the repair materials?"
The burly man raised his hand slightly, intending to stop the woman from speaking, but ended up dropping it powerlessly—he didn’t understand any of this.
"Tch, it’s just materials," the woman answered dismissively, "We’ll prepare all the materials, just state your fee?"
Qu Jianlei thought for a mont and gave a number, "Four hundred silver coins."
"That’s too expensive," the woman couldn’t hold back, "the costly part is the materials, eighty at most."
As per their estimate, if the materials cost eighty, then paying two hundred in total, that’s still three tis the labor.
So the labor cost should be forty; instead, he directly quoted four hundred... That’s ten tis.
They had seen heartless people before but never soone this heartless.

Chapter 82 Settling the Account Later (Double Update in Celebration of Golden Moe Stick Bro 2/10)
Can materials really be capped at eighty silver coins? Qu Jianlei wasn’t very clear on this.
Since coming to Zhou Six, he couldn’t quite grasp the prices of various things.
Luckily, with Cindy and Claire fretting about it all day, and Old Spencer keeping an eye out, they wouldn’t suffer too much loss.
However, Qu Jianlei had no intention of quarreling over prices; he said flatly, "If you find it expensive, you don’t need to have it repaired."
"We absolutely won’t accept this price," the woman answered decisively, "We’ll only offer eighty silver coins."
It’s not that she was tough on bargaining; their estimated repair fee was only forty silver coins, and this was already doubled.
Qu Jianlei set his tools aside, then waved and spoke casually, "Bon voyage, won’t see you off."
The woman, upon hearing this, was slightly confused; wasn’t there supposed to be a bargaining process?
