Chapter 187 Scientist Cameron
"It's really a magical technological creation. I have never seen such a delicate and wonderful thing. It is more restored than the photos taken by a camera, and there are so many incomprehensible functions..."

After understanding some of the functions of the smartphone, the old man in the antique shop was astonished and curious, holding it carefully in his hands as if appreciating a fine piece of art.

"I dare say that this thing can't be found in the entire Lost City. It is a unique and rare treasure."

Kress struck while the iron was hot: "How many cigarettes are you willing to pay for?"

"I didn't say I would buy it."

The old man shook his head: "Although it is magical, I can't feel any mysterious aura from it. It can be seen that this thing has nothing to do with mysticism..."

"My antique shop only accepts treasures related to occultism, not this kind of technological creation. No matter how magical and attractive it is, I don't have the energy to play or study it."

He handed the phone back to Kress, paused and said, "I have dedicated my whole life to collecting keys and studying mysticism, and I don't plan to study other aspects."

After a long time of trouble, people still don't care about smartphones.

Just when Zhou Ze was desperately planning to find another buyer for the phone.

The old man spoke again.

"I do know that there is a guy who might be willing to pay a high price for this thing. If you want to sell it for cigarettes, you might as well go to him and try it. That guy has a lot of cigarettes in his hand. Sell it for two Three thousand cigarettes is impossible."

oh?And this hidden clue?Another special NPC brought out by the mobile phone?

Kress: "Who are you looking for? Where are you going to find him?"

"That guy's name is Carmel, and he claims to be a leading scientist. Since Azka fell into the catastrophe, he has been locked in the house and cannot come out. It is said that he is tinkering with scientific equipment that can communicate with the real world. He wants to rely on this way to rescue."

When talking about this matter, there was a hint of contempt in the old man's tone.

"This city is covered by a curse that can't be explained by occultism. I'm afraid it has something to do with the ancient gods that those lunatics said. If his pile of broken copper and iron can be useful... Technology, hum, The ignorant are truly fearless.”

Are you qualified to say this?

Zhou Ze complained silently.

Isn't this old man trying to collect keys with special meanings to find a way to escape from the city? How different is it from someone else's research on scientific equipment?It's just that one is from the perspective of mysticism, and the other is from the perspective of science...

It is estimated that in the eyes of scientists, the old man's behavior of collecting keys is even more unreasonable.

It can only be said that peers are lighter...

In Zhou Ze's eyes, both of them are unreliable, half a catty.

The old man didn't talk too much about the scientist Carmel, and reached out his hand to show the two of Kleis the way: "His residence is not far from here, see, walk along this road for 100 meters, the one on No. 78 It’s a two-storey building.”

"Well, okay, thank you."

Chris nodded slightly, ending the conversation.

Zhou Ze, who has new clues, plans to visit the scientist Cameron next.

Not only to sell mobile phones to expand funds.

He is also very interested in this buddy who claims to be a cutting-edge scientist, and wants to know what kind of instruments he is researching that can communicate with the real world... He is also quite admirable for trying to use science to fight occultism.

Following the path pointed by the old man, Zhou Ze bypassed the building of the gang's stronghold, and soon saw the residence of the great scientist.

It is indeed a large wooden house with two floors.

But this wooden house is not luxurious, but rather dilapidated. Several windows are broken and no one repairs them.

Zhou Ze maneuvered the protagonist to the door and pressed the interaction button to knock on the door.

"What do you want to do?"

A man's voice hissed from the speaker at the door.

Good guy, at the end of the [-]th century, the microphone outside the door could still be used, and it was still in a lost city where materials and energy were extremely scarce... This great scientist has two brushes, and at least some real materials .

[Option ①: Here I have a technological creation beyond your imagination. 】

[Option [-]: I was introduced by the owner of the antique shop and let me in. 】

"Well, these two options are really difficult to choose at first glance, and they feel similar."

But Zhou Ze decisively chose ①.

From the old man's attitude towards Cameron, it can be seen that the two are not partners. In all likelihood, Cameron has nothing to say about the old man.

Sure enough, after Kress finished saying this, there was a buzzing sound on the door and the door lock opened automatically.

It's really smart, and it's more advanced than many modern houses.

Push the door in.

When entering the room, the first thing that catches the eye is the various electronic instruments all over the wall. The messy buttons and indicator lights are flickering, full of the sense of retro technology from the last century. Zhou Ze can't recognize what these buttons and instruments are for at a glance.

A middle-aged man wearing round glasses is sitting next to these sophisticated radio equipment. He seems to have been tossing these equipment in vain, looking haggard and depressed.

He should be the scientist Cameron.

Cameron looked up at Kleis and the two: "Can you tell me who you are?"

"My name is Clay Kahn, and he's a bitch."

Kress reported his name very politely.

There was nothing wrong with the protagonist's name, but the name of his temporary teammate Er Gouzi always felt a bit strange to Zhou Ze in front of the screen.

Fortunately, the residents of the Lost City don't think this name is strange, maybe they are not so sensitive to Chinese...

"Okay, Clay Kahn, and your companion Ergouzi."

Cameron stopped fiddling with those complex instruments: "The reason why I allow you to interrupt my work is only because you said that there is a technological creation beyond my imagination that has attracted my attention. You can take it Come out and let me see?"

"No problem at all."

Taking out the smartphone, Kress asked Ergouzi to teach Cameron how to use it and tell him how many magical functions the phone has.

Cleese looked at Cameron who was getting more and more shocked and surprised after Ergouzi introduced him. Zhou Ze was also flipping through the dialog box and waiting. His thoughts were spinning, and only now did he suddenly realize something strange. .

Why is Ergouzi, who is a Chinese, able to communicate freely with these people without any obstacles in the Lost City, which is obviously a European town?

Is his English so good that it is almost equivalent to a second mother tongue?Or is there something else hidden in it?
"This thing called a mobile phone doesn't seem like a product of this era!"

After figuring out most of the functions, Cameron couldn't put it down holding the smartphone: "How much are you willing to sell this thing for?"

"That depends on how much you are willing to pay."

Kress silently took off the wax hand and handed it to Er Gouzi next to him, so as not to be affected by the curse of the holy artifact when negotiating prices.
