Chapter 10 The mystery of the source of the news

"Did Harrow, who sent the message, find out the source?"

What was in front of Lux at this moment was the Haro that He Kui imitated. Its pink and round body was rolling on the ground. The language setting of its AI behavior had been deleted, and it just kept repeating [June City No. 7, Nuclear Bomb] in a mechanical voice.

"It's not clear yet."

"Um"

Looking at the Hello in front of her, Lux frowned slightly.

Will it be Orb? Or the East Asian Republic? Although the Oceania Union and the United States of South America have both expressed their pro-PLANT stance, these two countries have no reason to help PLANT, nor do they have the ability to know the Atlantic Federation's battle plan in advance. As for the Eurasian Federation's anti-PLANT attitude, it is only second to the Atlantic Federation and has no reason to help them.

Since Orb has declared neutrality, it should not want the situation to deteriorate. As for the East Asian Republic, it is inclined to continue to use them and will not do such a thing as killing the goose that lays the golden eggs.

But nothing was found. Could it be that May City has been infiltrated so thoroughly?

It seems that we need to investigate further, as this also concerns the foundation of the five major design bureaus.

"Then Harrow, you can stay here. You've worked hard."

Patting Harrow's head, Lux chuckled.

"No, it's what I should do!"

The man in the suit was so excited when he received Lux's praise that he bowed and then walked out according to the rules.

[You gave Lacus Klein a gift, MS operation skills +6]

[Lacus Klein's current favorability is 0]

[Experience bonus 0]

[MS Operation Technology Level D: (256/500)]

Looking at the sudden prompt on the virtual panel, He Kui, who was operating the machine at his workstation, paused for a moment. The circuit in his hand sparked and almost broke down again.

"What happened this time?"

Su Lei looked at He Kui angrily with dissatisfaction at the main operating table in front of her.

"sorry"

"You'll have your bonus deducted next time!"

[Su Lei's Favorability 77]

[Experience bonus 3]

It seems that he is really hated, and Su Lei really cares about this research.
He Kui looked at the prompt in front of him with a headache and did not dare to be distracted again. He began to conscientiously continue to tinker with the internal structure of the fairing detection device in front of him with other assistant engineers.

This fairing detection device is equipped on the long-range assault reconnaissance type Jinn. When combined with various powerful information data link processing systems, it can quickly transmit battlefield intelligence information in the front to the rear command center.

Simply put, they are scouts. What they are doing now is to try their best to find the optimal route solution through various fine-tuning.

After the initial excitement, He Kui quickly calmed down.

There was no other reason. Even though he knew that Lux could affect his driving skills, he didn't have the ability to get close to her now.

He is just a small assistant engineer, still a long way from the princess of PLANT, and Lux ​​must have received his message. He doesn't want to go to her door, at least not yet. Maybe he should go to her fan club more often to give her gifts. This is also possible, although it will take a little time for it to reach her hands and it won't increase her favorability.

But now is not the time to ask for this. Anyway, he is safe enough here, and it is also good to have a channel to steadily rise. But his original operation skills are only idiots? It's too discouraging.

After getting off work smoothly and delivering a dish of cold salad, he calmed Su Lei's anger and raised her favorability back to post-85s. Only then did He Kui breathe a sigh of relief.

"Well, Hello did a good job, and what is this?"

"Quadruped transport robot."

"Of course I know it was you who did it?"

Su Lei asked after glaring at him unhappily.

"um, yes."

"The system too? I remember that the system of this robot is more complicated than that of Harrow, right?" Although ordinary Harrow has hands, He Kui's is a copy of Harrow. In order to reduce costs, the hands had been removed long ago. Harrow, which can only speak a few words and jump, is indeed far less complicated in terms of system than this four-legged transport robot.

"Yes."

"C-level?"

"Yes, thanks to Director Su."

"? Anyway, you must not neglect the micromanagement. I don't care about the other things."

"I understand! Goodbye then!"

He Kui, who was overjoyed to have gained a lot of system experience points from Su Lei, did not go home. Instead, he took his things and found a store specializing in second-hand items.

May City is an engineering city, so there are many stores like this. You can get more rebates only if you reach B level. Otherwise, although they will also accept C and D levels, they will usually keep the prices very low. This is why He Kui didn't come here before.

"Boss, do you accept second-hand homemade robots?"

"Um"

The boss leisurely looked up at He Kui, who was wearing the uniform of an assistant engineer from the Hailan Design Bureau, and immediately stood up with a warm smile on his face.

"Of course I will collect it. I wonder what you want to sell, sir?"

As we all know, good things come from B-level engineers.

"These are ten Haro with radar warning and five transport robots."

He Kui took out things from his heavy backpack one by one.

The boss also looked at it carefully for a long time.

"The quality is fine. As for the recycling price, the Haro is 500 yuan each, and the transport robot is 800 yuan."

The price of a handling robot made in the factory is six hundred, but the performance of the production on the assembly line is not as good as that made by He Kui directly at level B by hand. Fully handmade products are usually the most expensive, and of course they are only suitable for people with strong hands-on skills. Products made at levels C and D can only be considered inferior products, and their prices are similar to those made on the assembly line. Only from level B onwards can one be properly called a craftsman.

"Ok."

He Kui had no objection. Although the price of Hello was about the same as when it was C-level, no one would buy this kind of thing if he priced it higher. It also saved him the time of setting up a stall. As for the transport robot, if he went out and sold it slowly himself, he might be able to sell it for around 1000. However, if the cost was , he could still make a lot of money by selling it directly. He could also use the remaining time to make two more robots, so it was actually not a loss.

Not long after, He Kui left with satisfaction, looking at the white money on his wrist. Of course, he did not forget to add the boss's contact information. In the future, he only needed to rely on the transportation system for recycling and would not even have to come here.

With less time to set up the stall, he can also work hard to gain experience with Shihe!

Thinking of this, He Kui smiled with satisfaction.

Of course, the good mood disappeared when I got home and saw the PLANT police in front of me.

"Hello, Mr. He Kui."

Facing the other party's serious and tough face, He Kui nodded in confusion.

"Hello?"

"Don't worry, we just came to ask you about Mr. Kazama."

"Naoki Kazama?"

He Kui repeated uncertainly.

"Yes."

He Kui still exchanged a puzzled look with Shihe, only for Shihe to shake his head, obviously not knowing what was going on.

"Then ask."

He Kui made a gesture of invitation and invited the two police officers into the room.

"Okay, thank you for your cooperation."
