Chapter 308. Compatibility
"Kuris, are you crazy?" Roland could not help but jump out and curse.
"Mr. Click to Enter lowered himself to help you and you didn't show any appreciation!"
Kuris raised his eyes.
​ "I said 'thank you'."
"You..."
"What about me? If he really has a problem, he will take the initiative to explain it to me. I don't believe that a Mechanic can let someone steal something as important as an 'entry pass'," Kuris said slowly. Although his tone was still impolite, Char could hear some envy.
His expressionless face was smeared with jealousy and envy.
He was a ruthless person.
"A Mechanic? What?" Roland turned to look at Char. "Your Excellency, you are a Mechanic?"
Char nodded.
"I-It's great!" Roland's eyes were filled with envy.
His attitude towards Char became even more respectful.
Seeing that things could not go on, Char put on a helpless look.
"Alright, alright, since you want to know so much... In fact, I can't explain what happened. Someone knocked me out and took away the pass and my remaining Survival Points. Who would've thought that there would be intruders in the Fourth Component Area?" Char shrugged.
"It's... It's our negligence! This is not your fault, Your Excellency!"
Roland lowered his head in shame.
"Intruders?"
Kuris suddenly stopped.
"Intruder… Have you seen 875 today?"
Eh?
Char and Roland raised their heads almost at the same time.
The former naturally thought of Ortlinde, who was with 875, while the latter was surprised that Kuris would ask about this guy.
"Who's 875?" Char asked on purpose.
"A despicable thief! I caught it during the day," Roland said angrily. Then the intruder suddenly appeared, and that damn guy took the opportunity to slip away. Wait... Why would you ask that?"
Roland suddenly realized something was wrong and frowned. "Kuris, have you seen 875? Wait... Don't tell me you're..."
"If you don't have any nonsense to say, I'll help you."
Kuris stood up, as if the conversation was over. Roland's gut told him that something was wrong. He wanted to ask more, but was stopped by the soulless eyes.
He could only take advantage of the situation and solve the problem at hand first.
"Alright, alright..."
Kuris walked to the corner, removed the outer shell of an instrument, and put his hand in what seemed to be a mechanism. A minute or two later, the ground in the workshop began to sink.
Char was attracted to the huge half-finished product in the middle as soon as he entered. He felt that it looked familiar, but he could not remember where he saw it before. Now that he saw it slowly descending, he suddenly had an idea.
It seemed that there had been a similar scene before, which made him feel like Godzilla was slowly sinking into the sea.
If he remembered correctly, it seemed to be a monster from Andaheim.
It seemed to be a rare monster near the Demon Fall Valley. Its Physical Resistance was very high, and it did not know fatigue when it ran. In the hundreds of reincarnations, he had only seen it a few times. The best outcome was he sank the thing into the river. In the end, he did not get any rewards, so he simply did not care about it.
As Char was lost in his memories, the semi-finished product was placed completely underground, and the floor closed.
The ceiling suddenly opened, revealing hundreds of round cameras, each of which projected a shadow on the ground. Inside were characters dressed in strange clothes, both male and female.
The originally monotonous workshop suddenly became a masquerade party. The visitors seemed to be quite familiar with each other, and they greeted each other after they appeared.
"Hey, sir, your new skin looks good~"
"Haha, my dear Lightning, your hairstyle is so cool too."
"The opening of the market was so sudden, did something happen?"
"You'll have to ask our Kuris."
While these people were exchanging pleasantries, Roland did not stay idle.
"Not all the civilians live in the Fourth Component Area. Some of them are still in the Upper City," he explained in a low voice.
"They are the ones who set up the Black Market. If you want to get a cheap entry pass, this is the only place. After all, the people in the city don't come out even once in their lives. It's normal to sell an entry pass."
"How come I've never heard of it?"
Char frowned and mumbled.
Since Roland wasn't suspicious about why he didn't even know about the Black Market, it meant that this thing wasn't well-known at all, and now was a good opportunity to get information.
"This is just a squabble. Otherwise, it would have been wiped out by the police in the Upper City. Roland smiled awkwardly.
"The weapons of those Masters are much better than ours. Besides, the Electric Eyes in the Upper City are free for them to use."
Char recalled the 79 Survival Points that Roland had spent and could not help but smile.
"He... He was an Assistant Mechanic, so he had some tricks up his sleeve. It's all thanks to him that the Black Market can run. You live in the Upper City, so you naturally have a deep understanding of the price. Those merchants even have to put their own trademark on the screws they sell, and the price will be more than ten times higher... Kuris was going against this group of people. He was responsible for providing remote guidance, and the little guy in front of him was responsible for carrying it out.
"If something happened inside, it had nothing to do with him, who was in the Capacitor Area. If something happened outside, they wouldn't be able to find out what happened to the guys inside. Look, they're all wearing makeup and holographic projections, there's no way to check."
A third-party outsource repair station.
Char understood.
The mechanical civilization had been poisoned by patents, and it seemed that the Upper City was still the same, so a third party had emerged.
While the two were chatting, Kuris had already led out a flat-chested girl wearing a voodoo mask from the hundreds of people.
"You want an entry pass?"
The voice had been processed and deliberately made a lot rougher, so it sounded like a man.
"Yes, I do."
Char frowned slightly and leaned back, as if the other person had bad breath.
"Ha, you're really a Big Shot. Something must have gotten into Kuris for him to help you."
The girl with the voodoo mask sneered at him and then reached out her hand with her palm facing up.
An entry pass that was exactly the same as the one on the shopping list floated in her hand.
What did that mean?
Char was confused.
Is there no bidding segment?
"What are you standing there for? Take it," she urged
Shocked by her decisiveness, Char did not think too much about it. He snorted and stretched out two fingers, as if he was a clean freak, and swiped the entry over.
The latter turned into data and appeared in his Inventory.
Inventory?
Char was surprised. This was the first item he had received an item, and his Personal System gave him a new Inventory.
But then, an unexpected thing happened...
[Compatible Inventory detected, do you want to use it?]
