Doomsday Totem

Chapter 277 Decent
The bed was covered with white sheets, a pillow and a neatly folded quilt.Iron Slag sat down on the edge of the bed, leaned against the quilt, and quickly fell asleep in the quiet atmosphere...

"Dingling...jingling...jingling...jingling..."

After an unknown period of time, a distant bell woke him up.Leaving the small attic and walking down the spiral staircase, an old maid was standing below, gently shaking the bell in her hand.

"Master, it's time for lunch." said the thin old maid.The title of "Young Master" was the conclusion she had discussed with the other two for nearly two hours.It would seem a little strange to call him "Master"; and it would be inappropriate to call him "Master", after all, the real owner of this big house is not him; but to call him "Master", his age and status do not match The three of them discussed and discussed, and finally decided to call him "Young Master". It looks young and decent, and it can also express the position of members of the same family.

However, the result they racked their brains to come up with was not recognized by the master.Iron Slag not only felt a little uncomfortable with this new title, but also felt a little harsh.In his subconscious mind, most of those "young masters" are not good people, they idle around all day long, messing around, flirting with each other...

It's just that, like most people, he can always see the problems in others, but he can't see the problems in himself.If Mu Yuqin was standing here with her heart at this moment, and knew what was going on in his heart, she would definitely say something: "Student Sa Chacha, messing with flowers and making trouble, isn't this talking about you?"

"My name is Tie Slag, you can call me by my name from now on," he said.

"Master, this is not acceptable. If outsiders hear about it, they will think that we don't distinguish between master and servant, and don't understand the rules." The old maid said.

"She's right. Such a title is against the rules and loses dignity. Even if the young master doesn't mind, other nobles will." Another maid came over and echoed.

"Isn't it good to call you by name? This is my respect for you and your respect for me." Tie Slag frowned and asked back.In his view, calling each other by their first names is a sign of mutual respect.He always felt that people should be equal and there should be no natural differences in status.Even a beggar on the street should be equal in title.

"The young master is not from aristocratic background. There may be some things that we don't understand. We call you young master because we respect each other. The young master provides us with employment opportunities, we provide the young master with decent services, and we each perform our duties..." Said the skinny old maid.

"Everyone takes what they need," the tall, thin old maid added.

"Everyone performs their duties, each takes what they need." The skinny old maid repeated solemnly, and then said, "We also agree that there should be no distinction between high and low among people, but it is undeniable that from ancient times So far, there has always been a gap in wealth and status in human society, even in a free society 2000 years ago..." She paused, took a breath, and continued, "The accumulation of wealth determines the ownership of resources. , and the strength of ability determines the level of social status, which is the root of everything, but this is not a mistake, because without this, society will stagnate, and people will become lazy and have no pursuit..."

"The long sword opens up the land for the plow, the plow provides the long sword with fruits and vegetables, the long sword pays blood and life, the plow pays hard work and respect, the long sword reaps glory and status, and the plow reaps peace and harmony, this is the nobleman of the Silver City We each perform our duties and take what we need." The tall and thin old maid bowed and said.

"Perhaps some nobles behave in an undignified manner, but they are only a minority and cannot represent the majority." The thin old maid bowed and said.

"What are you talking about? Does the young master want to fire us!" At this moment, a loud roar suddenly came from the side, and the gong-like voice shook people's eardrums with pain.Following the sound, I saw a middle-aged woman with a big arm and a round waist holding a thick rolling pin and rushing over aggressively.With her heavy steps, it seemed that the whole house shook.

After rushing in front of Tie Slag, she held a rolling pin in one hand and put her other hand on her hips, and asked in a rough voice, "Young man, do you think we are old and stupid, and you don't want us anymore!"

Facing the hill-like cook, Tie Zha calmly shook his head.

"Old Jenny, isn't the young master going to fire us?" The cook turned her face and asked the skinny old maid.

Old Jenny nodded, and the cook looked at the tall and thin old maid again, and asked hesitantly, "Old Mieko, is what she said true?" Old Mieko also nodded.

"Hahaha!" The cook put her hips on her hips and laughed, then patted Tie Slag's shoulder vigorously, and said in a loud voice, "Let me just say, the young master is so nice, why would you fire us?"

At this moment, the cook's face suddenly froze, and she stared at Tie Slag's face seriously.After a while, she said to herself, "Hey...why do I seem to be somewhere...where have I seen the young master..."

Hearing what the cook said, Tie Slag also carefully looked at the middle-aged woman in front of him.It didn't take long before he finally remembered that this cook was none other than the kitchen lady he met in the cafeteria when he first arrived at the academy. With a flick of the spoon, all the meat was thrown out. impressive……

He remembered, but the cook didn't remember, she was frowning and thinking hard, and didn't move for a long time.

"Aunt Hua, it's time for the young master's meal." Old Jenny reminded.

"Oh, look, I forgot, come, come, come, young master, today I made grilled lamb chops, smoked pork leg, stewed potato soup with mushrooms, cold noodles mixed with tomatoes..."

Afterwards, surrounded by three old women, Iron Slag came to the side of the kitchen area and sat down at the seven or eight meter long dining table.

As soon as he picked up the knife and fork, Iron Slag looked left and right and asked, "You don't want to eat?"

"Let's eat after the young master finishes eating first." Old Jenny replied.

"Only when the soldiers are full can they defend against the enemy and give the farmers a peaceful life." Lao Mei Huizi said.

"He wants to fire us?" "No!" "No!" The cook became nervous again, subconsciously raised the rolling pin, and Old Jenny and Old Mieko quickly comforted her.

Tie Slag immediately rolled his eyes, said nothing, and started eating on his own.After drinking a glass of pre-dinner wine and eating a piece of grilled lamb chops and a plate of cold noodles, Tie Slag took the hot towel from Old Jenny contentedly and wiped his mouth.I have to say that although this fat cook is a bit vulgar, her craftsmanship is really good.

After lunch, Tie Slag sat down in the living room and drank some lemon tea.About twenty minutes later, at one o'clock at noon, a middle-aged man in a black dress, with a slightly fat body and a respectful smile, walked into the mansion under the leadership of old Mieko, and came to Tie Slag.

"Master Iron Slag, good afternoon, I'm Sam Nichols, a super VIP customer specialist from Harley Industries, nice to meet you." Sam bowed to greet you.

"Please sit down." Tie Slag raised his hand and said.

After Sam sat down, he quickly got to the point, handed over a large picture album thick with bricks, and said, "This is our product, please Mr. Iron Slag choose it."

Iron Slag took it over and flipped through it casually for a while.The picture album is full of pictures of the mechanical power armor and the introduction of various details, which he can't understand at all.Afterwards, he put down the album and asked, "Let me introduce it, it's better to keep it simple."

"Of order, Lord Iron Slag." Sam nodded in response, and then introduced.

The mechanical power armor of Harley Industries currently only has one type, which is the standard type, but some adjustments can be made according to the needs of customers. There are roughly two adjustment directions, the direction of agility and the direction of defense. The former sacrifices armor and auxiliary accessories to obtain more Good flexibility, the latter sacrifices power and auxiliary accessories for better protection.

In terms of auxiliary accessories, there are many options to choose from, which are mainly divided into four categories.The first category is flight, such as jet bags, propellers, etc.; the second category is detection, such as infrared scanners, gene scanners, combat power assessment scanners, etc.; the third category is life support, such as air circulation System, temperature adjustment system, etc.; the fourth category is special category, which includes functions for multiple purposes, such as ejection rope, rock climbing claws, monitoring launcher, small unmanned aerial detector, excavator, anesthesia gun, welding gun, parachute , inflatable rubber bag and other auxiliary equipment.

As for auxiliary weapons, there are various small thermal weapons such as small caseless machine guns, small emergency shotguns, and small emergency flamethrowers.

The configuration of Harley's industrial standard mechanical power armor is: hidden steel arm armor, shoulder armor, back armor, leg guards, low-content black iron alloy breastplate and helmet, low-content Mithril titanium alloy joints, Harley X5 industrial-grade super-density alloy Engine, three sets of auxiliary jet bags, double rocket fuel propulsion, Harley three-phase power transmission system, Harley "deep cold" cooling system; auxiliary equipment includes infrared thermal induction scanner, air circulation life support system, inflatable rubber bag; auxiliary equipment Weapons include small emergency shotguns; a full set of mechanical power armor weighs 61kg, and the basic cost is 5350 gold.

In terms of upgrade and customization, any part of the armor can be replaced to obtain better defense or lower weight, and the engine, power transmission system, cooling system and other components can also be replaced.

There are mainly four kinds of alloys, iron alloy, aluminum alloy, titanium alloy, and mercury alloy; among them, iron alloy is the heaviest and has the highest hardness, while titanium alloy is the lightest and has relatively low hardness. Mercury alloy is the most special and is generally only used in the third generation. Psionic Power Armor.

There are three main types of individual rare metal alloys, which are distinguished by the content of rare metals, namely low content, standard content, and high content; and the super-density alloys of composite rare metals are divided into four types: industrial grade, diamond grade, fearless grade, and master craftsman grade. species; their hardness and toughness are very different, but the price is also very different, so you must choose carefully.

A few minutes later, although Sam explained it from a simple point of view, Iron Slag was still confused, and finally got impatient and said, "I am going to order five pieces for [-] gold, and you can give me a plan."

"Need a special inclination?" asked Sam.

Iron Slag thought for a while, Harley's mechanical power armor was going to be distributed to the four people in the War Bear Temple. Neither he nor Wang Hu had any special tendencies. Matches are thinner, and their movements are relatively flexible, so they tend to be agile.

After clarifying the requirements of Iron Slag, Sam took out the pen, paper and calculator from his briefcase, and began to estimate...
