The Sabbath

The tools in the toolbox are very worn out.

This toolbox was obtained in the room where Ronggui's freezer was placed, and it was consumed all the way. Many tools have traces of repairs by him, and several tools have all been replaced by materials.

Kneeling on the carpet, Xiaomei laid out these tools neatly in front of her, and wiped them slowly. While wiping, he repaired the small damage on the tools.

These are the most broken things around him, but these broken things have become the only things he carries with him in his life.

It turned out to be a toolbox? !

In fact, it was the only thing he'd ever wiped with such care.

No matter how precious a treasure or an antique was, he had never received such treatment from him.

Xiaomei continued to wipe. After wiping, he put all the tools back one by one. He put the small toolbox in the corner of the room and put it away before going out of the room again.

When he left the house, he habitually glanced in Ronggui's direction.People who live in the dark for a long time are prone to be addicted to that kind of video. As far as he knows, there is another very peculiar disease in the underground world: the disease of addiction to TV programs. The main cause is the program that Ronggui just watched. Human beings are obsessed with the beauty of the above-ground world, and want to watch that column every day. Over time, they even do nothing but watch TV. During that time, a large number of TV sets were destroyed every day in the underground world, and several A riot.

It should not be that time yet.

As he thought about it, his eyes had already fallen on Ronggui.

Ronggui's shoulders trembled. Look carefully, he still held a small handkerchief in his hand.

This is... crying?

But where did the robot get its tears?And that column is basically a hypnosis column, how can it make people cry?

Xiaomei's gaze immediately fell on the TV screen, and after looking at it, she realized that what was playing on the TV was no longer the program just now:

On the small screen, a muscular female dwarf with a standard eight-pack abs is saying indifferently to the male dwarf next to her: "I'm sorry, I'm in love with someone else, don't waste time on me, go Seek out other dwarves."

Then the same strong male dwarf cried and tried to grab the female dwarf's clothes: "No~ honey, you are the only female dwarf in the whole city~ How do you want me to find other female dwarves?"

The female dwarf said coldly: "Then you can find a male dwarf."

Xiaomei: ...

"Pfft—" Hearing this sentence, Ronggui couldn't cry anymore, the handkerchief fell off, and he laughed.

"This is the ax you gave me, return it to you, goodbye, no, never see you again." Pulling out an ax from behind and throwing it at the male dwarf, the female dwarf turned and left coldly.

I saw 1, 2, 3... 9 big axes on her back!

A total of nine!

Accompanied by the sad cries of the male dwarf, the figure of the female dwarf carrying the nine axes gradually disappeared.

The words "The end of the first episode" appeared on the TV screen at the same time.

Also appearing is the title "The Ax".

Xiaomei: What the hell kind of movie is this?

At the same time, Ronggui also expressed emotion: "It's really a good movie... It's touching and funny... Eh? Xiaomei, are you done?"

Only then did Ronggui realize that Xiaomei had come out.

"After watching Wings too much, I wanted to eat chicken wings, but now my body can't eat anything, so I simply changed the channel. I happened to come across a film that just started, which is great." He also explained.

Xiaomei: ...

Well, now he doesn't have to worry about Ronggui being addicted to Sky City's promotional videos, what he needs to worry about is that Ronggui is addicted to Dwarf City's goofy TV series.

really--

"Honey, what are we going to do next? The room is tidy, shall we go to work and earn money?"

I only watched one episode, but Ronggui has already started to imitate the male dwarf talking.

"Dear" Xiaomei: ...

"No, let's go to the surrounding markets first." Ignoring the matter, Xiaomei picked up the rhubarb key and went straight downstairs.

"Okay~" There was a grunting voice immediately behind him, it was the sound of Ronggui propping up his "crutches" and going downstairs.

The entire city of Yedehan is famous for the excellent craftsmanship of dwarf craftsmen, so basically the whole city is full of blacksmiths.

Of course, the blacksmith shop here is just a convenient name. In fact, there are all kinds of metals here. Each shop has its own metals that are good at smelting, and there are items that are good at making. There are those who specialize in hammering and casting metals, and those who specialize in processing metals into various items.

At first, most of what they saw were ordinary basic blacksmith shops. After a little exploration, they finally found a shop that sold mechanical human body parts.

There are shops selling everything from a large mechanical body as large as three meters high to as small as a mechanical finger!

Ronggui saw densely packed fingers in a store: there are all kinds of colors, all kinds of thickness and length, and if you look closely, there are slots reserved for nails!

Take a look at the store next to it: it is amazing that it sells all kinds of metal nail pieces!

Ronggui was simply amazed——

There are also a lot of customers here, Ronggui looked curiously at the many tall people shopping around in the store, obviously, they came from outside, maybe they came here to buy body parts.

Many people have metal prosthetics on their bodies, some are hands, some are legs, and some are internal organs...

Ronggui saw a customer suddenly open his chest, and let the dwarf waiter inside see his mechanical heart.

That person was right next to Ronggui at that time, when he suddenly tore off his clothes, Ronggui's first reaction was that the other party wanted to play hooligans!Unexpectedly, after opening the clothes, the man continued to pull, and when the man opened his chest and took out his heart, Ronggui was dumbfounded.

"This heart is about to fail. Can you make an identical one? This one is tailor-made for me."

These days, you don’t have to go to the hospital for a heart attack...

as well as--

It turns out... Even internal organs can be replaced with metal!

But if you think about it carefully, it's not worth making a fuss about. Wouldn't they replace it more completely? He and Xiaomei's entire bodies were replaced by machines!

Looking from one shop to another, Ronggui's knowledge is getting more and more, he even saw people who use mechanical bodies like them!

"Xiaomei Xiaomei, is this a robot? Or a person with a mechanical body like us?" Ronggui poked Xiaomei who was watching the goods in front, and Ronggui leaned over and whispered in his ear.

Xiaomei didn't raise her head: "It's the same as us, there are no robots here."

"Ah..." Ronggui was stunned.

Isn't this the future?I always feel... that robots should be used on a large scale in the future...

"The space is limited, and the place where manpower can be used is still relying on manpower. If robots are used, more people will not be able to earn points." Xiaomei explained plainly.

Ronggui was stunned again.

It seems... also makes sense.

Scratching his head, he probably woke up in the wrong year, didn't he wake up in a year with robots?

So in the following time, Ronggui's observation objects changed from various mechanical parts in the window to customers on the side of the road.

His main observation objects are people who use machinery all over their bodies like them.

There are two kinds of people. One is the ordinary mechanical body, which looks like the robots in the movies of his era. Most of the robots have targeted bodies. They are either very tall or have very fingers. In particular, in short, everyone's body has different functions; the other is highly humanoid, but this is not the appearance of ordinary people, this kind of machine body is extremely beautiful!

At the door of a seemingly deserted shop, Ronggui saw the most beautiful robot he had ever seen today.

He is two meters tall!

He is tall and tall, but his frame is slender and beautiful. The man's body is made of some kind of metal. His whole body is shiny and silver-white. He wears a mask on his face, so he can't see his face, but he can tell from the curvature of his jaw. no!

Ronggui watched the man lead them towards the store.

Xiaomei continued to look at the goods, and Ronggui looked back at the store from time to time.

Finally, when the man came out again, Ronggui was shocked:

That person has an extra pair of wings behind him!

Silvery white, very delicate wings!

"Wow! It's so beautiful! Take a look, Xiaomei!" After being stunned, he didn't forget to tell Xiaomei to turn around to watch the excitement, Ronggui hurriedly poked Xiaomei a few more times.

Xiaomei turned around slowly, and after only one glance, he turned his head again and continued to look at the parts he was looking at before.

"Who is that? Is it an angel from Sky City?" Ronggui asked excitedly in a low voice.

"How is it possible? But it should be someone with a little money who lives in the upper part of the dungeon. This kind of wings are very expensive, and they have no other function except for decoration, they just look good." Xiaomei said casually, and went to the next Stalls to go.

After walking for a long time, he realized that there had been no voice from Ronggui for a long time. Turning his head, he realized that Ronggui was still standing stupidly by the previous booth.

There were quite a few people standing around as stupidly as he was, and everyone's eyes were on the man who had just put on wings.

It just looks beautiful, but the workmanship is actually very rough. The level of the dwarf craftsman who made this pair of wings should not be high, not more than three levels.

The wing feathers made by craftsmen above level [-] can vibrate slightly, and the texture is more realistic.

Xiaomei made a brief assessment, then walked over to claim Ronggui.

"Xiaomei, those wings are really beautiful! I don't think they look good on TV, but they are so beautiful up close! The real wings must be more beautiful, right?"

Ronggui was extremely excited, being dragged by Xiaomei all the way, he also whispered all the way.

It wasn't until Xiaomei pulled him back into the car that he remembered today's serious business:

Inquire about prices.

How much does it cost to buy a set of parts enough to assemble the whole body? This is the purpose of their shopping today.

"Oops! I forgot to read half of it!" Rong Gui was shocked.

Xiaomei glanced at him sideways, and after a while she opened her own port and inserted it into Ronggui's body. After the connection was successful, a lot of text messages appeared in Ronggui's brain, plus three pictures.

The three pictures correspond to the three mechanical figures.

The figure number three on the far right looks the best and most realistic, tall, with clear facial features, skin a bit brassy but still smooth, slender limbs, fingers and toes are all distinct;

The No. [-] picture in the middle is a little bit worse. It has a pair of eyes and no other facial features. The skin color is very dull, but the fingers and toes are distinct. Generally speaking, it looks like a human being, but it is just a good-looking one;

But this is much better than the No. [-] picture on the far left. The No. [-] picture is basically the complete version of their current body~ It’s just that the height has increased, the fingers are very detailed, but the toes are still the basic model. Although the metal color is better than now There are many, but...but...

pretty ugly!

"I want number three." Ronggui said decisively.

Although I still haven't met my requirements, but if you choose among these three, you must choose three!

Xiaomei didn't say a word, and after a while, three numbers appeared above the figure in Ronggui's mind.One figure on one figure.

"This is the price." Xiaomei said concisely.

Ronggui looked at the pictures one by one:

Picture No. 30: [-] points!

Picture No. 60: [-] points!

Picture No. 160: ... [-] million points! ! !

"It's so expensive!" Ronggui was dumbfounded.

"This is already the lowest estimated price of the three optimal combinations I have calculated based on all the shops and commodities I saw in the market today. The points in Yedehan City are equivalent to money, and we can use the 22 points now, but Excluding the [-] points, we still need at least [-] points."

"...not 22, but 54..." Ronggui bowed his head and made the calculation.

Xiaomei: "?"

"And Xiaomei's body, your body is going to die soon, isn't it?" Rong Gui took Xiaomei into the list as a matter of course.

After speaking, he lowered his head and continued to settle accounts.

Stupid, it's not 54, but 52——Inwardly correcting Ronggui's miscalculation, Xiaomei didn't say anything.

In the end, Ronggui decided to choose the quotation of Option 1 and choose the appearance of Option 4.

↑

He was not satisfied with the appearance of Xiaomei's design, so he decided to design plan 4 by himself. Of course, Xiaomei was responsible for reviewing the quotation and feasibility.

Ronggui decided not to buy ready-made parts in the store, but to buy a brand new set of tools and equipment for Xiaomei, and then buy primary materials for Xiaomei to process.

The total budget is controlled at 60 points, and then the two of them only need to be responsible for earning points well.

"Continue to look for a job~" Clenched his fists, Ronggui was full of energy again.
