latent body

Chapter 62
Without even thinking about it, Ling Zihan opened his mouth and answered, "One hundred gold dollars."

Yang Yan opened his eyes wide, anger spread wantonly on his face, and the good feelings that had just risen in his heart dissipated instantly: "Are you sending a beggar to Tamade?"

"This is a very reasonable price." Ling Zihan clarified the facts with calm words: "These parts are all second-hand goods. Of course, I'm not saying that second-hand goods are worthless, but the things here are very special. They can't be circulated in the outside market, and they can't be digested by yourself within the scope allowed by your police. Electronic products are worthless. Although a set of Grade A enhanced body parts is publicly priced at a thousand gold dollars in a specialty store, we all know that as long as we spend money to buy them, even a brand new suit will immediately depreciate by [-]%."

This is the same as buying a car in the old days.

Even if Ling Zihan didn't say it, Yang Yan knew it well.Otherwise, it would have been impossible to agree to the reward of [-] sets of Grade A adaptants.

"One hundred gold dollars is too little." He seemed a little irritable: "This matter is not as simple as you imagine. The second-hand goods warehouse is semi-public in the police system of Floating Cloud City. Many people know this warehouse, and many people are planning to come here. If I didn't take it with me today, you wouldn't be able to get in at all."

Ling Zihan's face was covered with a bright smile: "Thank you for giving me this honor. But I still have to say that the things here are not worth much, and they are not visible, so... one hundred gold dollars, this is the upper limit I can accept."

Yang Yan's face was gloomy, and he threatened viciously: "It seems that we can't talk anymore?"

Ling Zihan replied indifferently: "According to the contract, you must pay eighty sets of grade-A adaptation body modification kits as a reward. By the way, people can't be too greedy. Your monthly salary is thirty silver dollars, and it's not even ten gold dollars a year. Even if I agree to your conditions, five hundred, one thousand, three thousand, ten thousand... Sheriff Yang, there are so many eyes staring at you around you, everyone, including me, are you not afraid of taking money for your life?"

Yang Yan felt a wave of fear attacking him.

He is very clear about the various meanings in and out of Ling Zihan's words.Although the administrative organization of Floating Cloud City is far less clean than in the old days, corruption can be seen everywhere, but no matter what, the word "clean" is very important.

Once someone catches him, let alone a promotion, he might not even know how he died.

His face sank a little, trying to suppress the anger in his heart: "Since I dare to bring you here, am I still afraid that you will fail to report it?"

Ling Zihan responded with a charming smile, raised his hand and gave Yang Yan a thumbs up: "I knew Brother Yang that you are the leader of the third district police station. I was just talking casually just now, so don't take it to heart."

Brother Yang, Sergeant Yang, and then Brother Yang... The interchange of titles between different slaves contains extremely rich meanings.

Reporting is not possible.In fact, Yang Yan is a big fish that suddenly appeared out of Ling Zihan's plan.To some extent, it can also be regarded as an additional surprise.The reason why Ling Zihan used both kindness and power, verbal threats and money lures, was to pull Yang Yan into his boat.

These words sounded very pleasing to the ear, and gave Yang Yan enough steps.His sullen expression had obviously softened, and his gaze fixed on Ling Zihan was not as fierce and sharp as before.

"One hundred gold dollars is too little." Yang Yan began to think with normal logic: "Let's do this! For one thousand gold dollars, I'll give you three hundred sets of first-class adaptation body modification kits."

"Three hundred is too little, at least six hundred." Ling Zihan shook his head.

Anger surfaced on Yang Yan's face again: "Boy, don't be shameless."

"Listen to me first." Ling Zihan firmly controlled his expression, and began to reason with the facts: "The things you have here are second-hand goods. Specifically, whether they can be used or not is another matter. The interior of your police station is not as clean as it is advertised. A mechanical arm worth three gold dollars may have already been hollowed out when it was sent in. Chips, electronic sensors, micro-gears, transmission systems, controllers, kinematic joints... Lao Yang, you can ensure that every mechanical arm here is in good condition and can be used when you take it out. Is it?"

Yang Yan stared at him, speechless for a while.

I have to admit that Ling Zihan hit the point in every word of these words.

Criminals must be degraded and refitted from being sent to prison.Almost all the modified parts sent from the prison have been tampered with.As Ling Zihan said, taking the robotic arm as an example, it looks unscathed on the surface, but in fact most of the internal structure is hollowed out.

Everyone wants to be strong, and prison officers and their families are no exception.Although the shell of the mechanical arm is the most expensive part of the whole assembly, by secretly hollowing out the internal parts and piece them together from a few or even dozens of prisoners, you can get the desired modified parts without spending a penny.

Ling Zihan saw it very accurately. The second-hand goods here are useless if taken out individually, at least two or even three.

Yang Yan completely put away his contempt for this young man who was too beautiful, and slowly nodded with displeasure: "Just as you said, one thousand gold dollars, pay with one hand, and deliver with one hand."

Ling Zihan smiled.

With the necessary courtesy, he reached out and took out ten gold coins from his pocket and handed them over: "This is the deposit."

Yang Yan quickly glanced at his outstretched palms, maintaining a fixed posture: "Deposit? What do you mean?"

"I have to find a car to pull the goods." Ling Zihan said seriously: "Tentatively, the day after tomorrow! When the car is loaded and the things are taken away, I will pay the rest in one lump sum."

Yang Yan looked at him for a long time, took the money slowly, and let out a dull "uh" sound from deep in his nostrils.

……

The night will eventually pass, and the morning will come as always.In the Underworld, however, the sun is never part of the morning picture.The only criteria for judging are the beating numbers on the electronic clock and the hands on the mechanical dial that rotate according to a fixed rhythm.

Liu Mingquan was not used to being awakened from sleep.

Although the current time is already 22:[-] in the morning.

In his private house, he seemed very casual. He walked out of the bedroom with his slippers on, and walked into the living room. When he saw Ling Zihan sitting on the sofa, he yawned and stretched, and asked sleepily and impatiently, "What can you do with me?"

The charming smile has become an important part of Ling Zihan's signature expression: "I want to borrow some cars from you."

"Borrowing a car?" Although Liu Mingquan is an out-and-out dude, he has the shrewdness of a businessman.He reacted quickly: "Do you want to pull the goods?"

Ling Zihan pretended to be relaxed and said with a smile: "Ninety-nine sets of grade-A enhanced body accessories are not a small number. They are very heavy, and you don't want to see me being crushed into a meatloaf by the cargo box!"

Liu Mingquan didn't agree with him at all: "I want to! Of course I want to! It's rare for such a blockbuster movie to be free, and you are the protagonist. You must watch it, you must watch it!"

Facing the malicious ridicule and sarcasm, Ling Zihan greeted him directly with a face that was thicker than expected: "I want to borrow the transportation team of Wansen Group."

Liu Mingquan was stunned.

"Borrowing a car" and "borrowing a fleet" are two completely different concepts.

The former means that the number of shipments is small, but the latter is different. The number of shipments is multiplied, and it is very likely to be a huge amount beyond imagination.

"What exactly do you want to do?" He asked suspiciously, "What exactly do you want to transport?"

Ling Zihan didn't hide anything, and told the truth: "The mechanical modification kit, as well as food and some building materials. The total weight is about 150 tons."

Liu Mingquan couldn't help but sucked in a breath of cold air, and subconsciously looked at the other party with a little more probing: "So many?"

Ling Zihan said frankly: "I told you that I have people under my command. I have to support them."

He had already made up his mind to come and ask Liu Mingquan to borrow a car.

The reason why I didn't mention it when I sent Kong Linlin's head over was that it was not a good time to talk about such things.After all, the relationship between each other is employment and employment, and only after the two parties have settled the settlement can they discuss other matters.

In this day and age, the concepts of vehicles and conversion kits are very different.

Take the first-class enhancement kit as an example. You can save a thousand gold dollars to buy the kit from the store and install it on your body to strengthen yourself, but if you spend fifty gold dollars to buy a heavy-duty "Red Rock" truck, many people will think it is a useless investment.

Regardless of the traditional old internal combustion engine or the new on-board battery pack, the two modes of fuel and charging are firmly controlled by the forces of major groups.There is no oil, no geothermal system, and the vehicle is worthless when you buy it.

You can buy it for money, but the cost is extremely expensive, far beyond imagination.

This is one of the most important methods of controlling the world by group forces.

Or it can be understood as the care and protection of civilians.

The wilderness is huge and full of dangers everywhere.

The most direct and common ones are mobs and mutant beasts.

The reason why people wander in the wilderness is really helpless.Even if there is a one in ten thousand possibility, as long as a person with a normal mind would not make such a choice.

Ling Zihan knew that Zhong Jun's identity was very special, but he never dreamed that Zhong Jun actually owned a car, and more importantly, he had his own energy source.

It is extremely rare for Zhong Xiaowei to drive Ling Zihan to Floating Cloud City. "Hitchhiking" is a unique feature of the old era, but now it is a legend of the brave that is equivalent to "stupid people are not afraid of death".

As a driver, you'll never know who's standing on the side of the road and hitching a ride.

In the wilderness where robbery and killing are rampant and unchecked, parking at will means death.

This is the age of robotic claws and shotguns to express the will of the individual.
