338 Ordnance Engineer
The impending calamity had panicked the common people, but now everyone on the street was smiling, as if the return of the superpowers had dispelled their fears.
"I'll take you into the city, and I'll accompany you all the way according to the rules." Railton said.
Han Xiao had nothing to do with himself, and said, "Your race seems to worship the superpowers. ”
Railton said calmly: "To be exact, I am grateful, the race has suffered drastic changes, migrated to this dangerous planet, and has not gained a firm foothold for so many years, the efficiency of collecting resources is too slow, and it is not enough for its own consumption, many materials have to be purchased from the interstellar, and the productivity cannot afford foreign trade."
Therefore, in our race, powerful enough superpowers will enter the interstellar and become mercenaries, and most of the remuneration will be handed over to the race, which is an important economic pillar of the race, otherwise there will simply not be enough resources to make so many weapons, and they will not be able to survive the disaster. ”
Han Xiao knew that the Sunil tribe, as a troubled civilization, was in ruins, and could only rely on powerful individuals for the time being, and a superpower person could feed the entire ethnic group, so it was treated like a hero, and it was an honor to become a superpower in the eyes of the common people, so the whole people were martial.
Han Xiao still remembered that Reilton was scheming about money, but in fact, almost all of Reilton's honorarium was handed over to the clan, and he was frugal just to make more money for the clan.
"Relying solely on the strength of individuals to support the economy is pathological for a civilization." Han Xiao said.
Railton nodded: "That's true, but this is a helpless choice, in the final analysis, because the evil has slowed down the pace of the recovery of the race, and it has to spend a large part of the expenditure to make weapons to resist the evil, and it is impossible to expand and build quickly, and there are a lot of unnecessary losses."
If the evil is not completely resolved, this vicious circle cannot be broken, and the ethnic group will live in misery and will never be able to escape from the bad situation.
We have taken many measures, and even considered killing all the beasts, but this is the next step, and whether it can be done or not, once the ecological chain collapses, the whole planet will go from vitality to decay. So the tribe chose another method - mining the veins of the Whispering Stone, starting from the root cause to disintegrate the evil, with the least harm, this work has lasted for many years, removing the ore bit by bit, as long as it persists, sooner or later, the spiritual undercurrent will disappear, and at that time, the tribe will no longer be plagued by evil......"
Railton's indifferent face showed a hint of yearning, and he muttered, "Difficult times will always pass." ”
Han Xiao has a basic impression of the Sunil race, this is a very tenacious race, the greater the ability of the superpower, the greater the responsibility, for the continuation of the race, hard work......
"It's a pity......"
Recalling the development trajectory of the Sunil clan in his previous life, Han Xiao couldn't help but sigh.
After entering the city, the superpowers scattered and returned to their homes, and the crowd gradually dispersed.
Han Xiao followed his memory, turned around, and gradually walked into the deserted alley, stopping at the door of a narrow black door, and the signboard next to it painted a wine glass.
"Bars? Who are you visiting? Railton frowned.
"Any questions?"
“…… No. ”
Railton's face was expressionless, and he despised all those who spent money to enjoy it, thinking that it was a waste of money and a waste of life.
- After all, he has lost the function of enjoyment.
Pushing open the door, the lights in the bar were dim, and there were no customers, now that the city was in a tense period, basically no one was drunk, Han Xiao walked to the bar and heard a slight snoring coming from behind the bar.
Technician Han looked and saw a man lying on the ground behind the bar, his face against the floor, sleeping soundly, with a pile of empty wine bottles beside him.
Bang!
Han Xiao slapped the table vigorously and said, "There are guests, get up!" ”
The man first moved his fingers and made a lazy hum from his nostrils, and then slowly got up, spitting out the smell of wine, sleepy-eyed, and his eyes were blank, and he had not yet come back to his senses, and said vaguely: "What to drink?" ”
"Two cups of signboarding."
"One cup is enough." Relton interjected.
"Give the money first." The man yawned.
Han Xiao took out the communicator and was about to transfer money, when the man suddenly laughed mockingly, "My dear, you don't want to use Inar to pay the bill, I am operating on a small scale and only accept local currency." ”
Railton frowned, he was usually active in the interstellar world, the currency of the Sunil clan was of little use to him, and he was about to help Han Xiao pay the bill, at this time, Han Xiao smiled and said, "I don't have a local currency, can I pay the bill with something else?" ”
The man didn't look at Han Xiao, took out a bottle of wine from under the counter, opened it and poured it, and said casually: "What is it?" ”
"A name."
The corners of the man's mouth bent downward, showing impatience, glanced at Han Xiao, and said irritably: "I'm not interested in playing guessing games, get out of my bar without drinking." ”
"Delphis."
Han Xiao's tone was calm, but in the ears of the man, it was like a thunderbolt.
The man's action of raising his head to drink was frozen, his lazy demeanor disappeared, he became expressionless, and he didn't look drunk at all, the drunkenness in his eyes instantly subsided, bursting out with a compelling brilliance, staring at Han Xiao's eyes.
He slowly put down the wine bottle and said slowly: "Sit and wait, I'll wash my face first." ”
With that, the man walked out of the bar and went to the toilet.
There were only Han Xiao and the two of them left at the bar, and Railton suddenly said, "You don't know him at all, you are not visiting acquaintances." ”
"I know his brother, that's why I came to visit him." Han Xiao casually explained the past.
This drunken boss is called Melos, Delphius is his brother, and Han Xiao's favorite sub-class is called [Ordnance Engineer], for players, this sub-class is very rare, and there is a channel for job transfer in the Sunil clan, and the trigger item is called "Delphi's Codex".
Delphius was a military mechanic before the Sunil disaster, famous, many innovative machines were invented by him, and some of his thoughts were written in the diary codex, and later the dark star attacked, Delphius died, and the codex passed to his brother Melos and became a relic.
Han Xiao wanted to borrow the Codex from Melos so that he could complete the transfer.
After a while, Melos returned to the bar and washed his hair, a middle-aged Sunil, with a pale indigo skin and a few raised lines on his forehead near his sideburns, and a lifespan of about one hundred and fifty years, which was not much different from that of a cosmic human.
Melos opened a bottle of wine, handed it to Han Xiao, and said, "Although I don't know how you found me, my brother's name is worth changing to a bottle of wine, I brewed it myself." ”
There was a rich white smoke from the mouth of the bottle, and the smell of wine was pungent, and the wine brewed by the Sunil people used the leaves of some kind of tree as raw materials, with an astringent taste, Han Xiao took a sip, feeling the spicy numbness on the tip of his tongue, and then showed his intention.
"I'm a mechanic, and I've heard of your brother's name, and I'd like to borrow his codex."
"That's all?" Melos raised an eyebrow, his tone tentative.
"For the time being." Han Xiao smiled, glanced at Railton, and said meaningfully, "Do you think I have other purposes?" ”
Melos received a cryptic response, and his tone became cold: "Is this a threat? ”
"No, no, it's kindness." Han Xiao smiled, "But a good person like you would definitely not be able to bear to refuse such an inconsequential little request." ”
Railton on the side didn't know what dumb riddle the two were playing, were they talking about human language, why couldn't they understand it?
Melos seemed to hesitate, and finally his face became helpless, turned his head and went into the back room, and only came out after a while, with an old diary in his hand, slapped it on the bar, and said angrily: "Hurry up and leave after reading." ”
Han Xiao's finger touched the diary, and a prompt appeared on the panel.
[You have obtained the Codex of Delphius]
Here you go! Han Xiao pressed the joy in his heart, opened the diary, and pretended to read it, it was all Sunil characters, looking at it was the same as filling in the blanks in English, but it didn't matter if he couldn't read it, the progress prompt popped up on the panel, as long as he finished "reading" the book, he could change jobs.
According to the usual channels for doing tasks, it takes a lot of luck to get this codex, and the links are extremely complicated, after all, no one knows Melos's identity beforehand, and most people will not brush up on the favor of a bar owner who seems to be a passerby. The normal result is that after getting acquainted with Melos, during a drink, the drunken Melos will miss his brother and take out this relic, so that the player can coincidentally trigger the class change.
However, Han Xiao knew his secret information, and went straight to it, directly omitting the cumbersome links, and was able to borrow it.
Railton glanced at it and wondered, "You know the Sunil script?" ”
Han Xiao closed the book, "I don't understand." ”
"Then you still want to watch?!" Melos' eyes widened.
"You should pay homage to your brother, thank you for the wine."
Han Xiao put down his diary, smiled, and turned to leave.
Melos shouted behind him, "Inexplicable fellow, don't bother me again!" ”
"That might be." Han Xiao's eyes flashed with banter.
Walking out of the bar, Han Xiao opened the panel, looked at the latest tips, and was in a good mood, he had been stuck in the job transfer request for so long, and finally got his favorite sub-class, and the experience points on the panel were finally able to play a role!
[You have gained a new class, [Ordnance Engineer]!] ]
