Chapter 37 The Third Vertical Street
Duke, who was busy until midnight, repaired all the scrapped spirit cards he had found.
Not all discarded spirit cards can be successful. Some damage can be repaired on the surface, but in fact the energy circuit inside has shrunk and can no longer be repaired.
Xiaoyi does not have a scanning function, and can only judge through Duke's basic perception.
The success rate is difficult to guarantee.
Even so, it is far superior to all card repairers. Without Xiaoyi's computing power, it is impossible for a card repairer to judge whether a scrapped spirit card is worth repairing.
If it really existed, it would not have become a scrapped spirit card.
For example, Old Sam is a senior card repairer. He often goes to the waste card station to find cards, but he has never only searched for some materials on the cards, and has never refurbished a scrap card.
Woke up.
Duke went to the alley at the back door to buy breakfast as usual.
When I arrived at the early shop, I saw a group of people standing by the wall and watching. There was a notice board next to the wall, which was a special place for the Snake Head Tower in the town to release messages.
Duke squeezed in.
At a glance, I saw a new notice posted on the notice board: "Notice on the construction of the Third Vertical Street."
"A third vertical street is going to be built?" Duke was surprised.
Soon after reading the entire content of the notice, the Snake Tower, as the administrative body of Snake Town, plans to add a vertical street to the west of the town, and the surrounding area of the third vertical street will be built as a residential area.
"It's time to open up a war!" Someone said with a vow, "Otherwise, a new street will not be built, and it must be for foreigners to live in!"
"I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing."
"It must be a good thing. The third vertical street is built on the west side, so that our second vertical street will become the center of the town, and the business owners will get rich again."
"That's not necessarily the case. When more people come, the town will definitely be in chaos."
"Yeah, especially those mercenary regiments, they will cause harm wherever they go. Just watch in the future, every family will be harmed!"
Most people are aware of the matter of opening up wars.
As for welcome or not, it is hard to say.
Opening up a war means countless opportunities, but also countless dangers. Especially for ordinary people at the bottom, it is difficult to share opportunities without mastering extraordinary power, but dangers will not be avoided just because you are an ordinary person.
"Whether it's a mess or not, I'll go to the Snake Head Tower first and ask if I can buy a small courtyard in advance. The alley here is a bit too crowded." Someone left after reading the notice.
Duke huddled in the crowd, thinking silently.
The establishment of the third vertical street did not have much impact on Little Sam's card repair shop. On the contrary, once the war started, the card repair business would probably be overwhelmed.
"I won't buy the yard on Third Vertical Street, I'll save money to buy a farm later." Duke squeezed through the crowd and went to the breakfast shop to buy some snacks.
When he finished paying, he happened to see Best in the crowd, talking loudly to someone he knew.
looked very excited.
Obviously, Best is very excited about the arrival of the Opening War. During this period of time, the repair card shop is empty, but he is very worried. Seeing that there is a turning point, how can he not be excited.
Duke ignored it.
Go straight back to do your own business.
Two days later, he took Levin and Harper to Shenjiao City in a black beetle car early in the morning, and when he started buying goods, he found that all the goods had increased in price.
"It is rumored that a war is about to open up. We have no choice but to increase the price."
"Okay, give me the order, but everything will be halved."
"Shouldn't you store more, boss, maybe the price will increase again in a few days."
"No money."
Duke is telling the truth. He has been stockpiling goods for at least three to five months. If he stockpiles more, he will have no money to eat meat.
"Levin, Harper, you guys move the goods back to the small hotel and wait for me. I'll go to the waste card station to buy cards for a while." Duke signaled the two assistants to leave first.
He went to the waste card station alone.
When we arrived at the gate, the old man who watched the door immediately greeted him: "Boss Duke, come to buy cards again."
"Yes, sir." Duke quietly stuffed a pack of cigarettes.
The uncle happily put it in his pocket, and then whispered: "Warehouse No. 3 in the backyard, two new trucks of goods arrived today, you go to try your luck."
"okay."
There was a tip-off from the doorman, and Duke went directly to the No. 3 warehouse, and the card was charged at the waste card station on time, which can save a little time.
Several people in the warehouse are already buying cards, and they are all the owners of the card repair shop in the nearby market town.
Maybe he also bribed the doorman.
In short, this is not Duke's exclusive benefit. He greeted a familiar boss, and then rushed into the waste card pile.
He would pick up the discarded cards that seemed to be in good condition and feel them carefully.
Xiaoyi audits and checks, and the success rate of picking up leaks is quite high.
For a full hour, Duke was immersed in the fun of card hunting, found three waste cards that could be repaired, and dismantled many cards made of good materials to recycle some card materials.
"Young man, it's getting dark, how about buying cards?" A card-hunting colleague, with his backpack on his back, asked cheerfully as he passed by.
"I'll look for it again."
"Haha, I wish you a fortune."
The colleague left quickly, and Duke turned around and continued to collect cards. However, it seemed that the colleague had opened his mouth. Duke picked up a good-looking waste card, and raised his brows after a little sensing.
Then he took a quick look at the other people in the warehouse from the corner of his eye, and put the scrap card into his pocket as if nothing had happened.
"The 2-ring civilian card-constant temperature card, the energy circuit is damaged in many places, and the damage on the card surface is relatively serious, but the basic state remains stable, and there is a certain probability that the repair will be successful."
This is Xiaoyi's judgment.
Duke had picked up several 2-ring spirit cards before, but most of them were almost broken, and it was rare to see one that was not completely destroyed.
"All wishes come true!"
"I only thought about missing the 2 Ring Spirit Card two days ago, but I missed it today!"
Duke continued to search for invalid cards for a while, and did not leave until the sunset was driven by the management staff. He went to the station to settle the fee, and left in a hurry.
…
Early the next morning, Duke, Levine, and Harper rushed to the West Station.
However, after arriving at the time, the Black Beetle car didn’t start off immediately, and the flight attendant came out and explained: “There are two other cars going on this route, so let’s wait a little bit.”
"Where's the car?" Someone asked.
"It's the Union Tower crew's car."
"United Tower?" Duke suddenly realized, "This is the official decision to launch a pioneering war, otherwise why did the United Tower send people to Snake Town?"
"Boss Xiao Du is right, the pioneering war is almost inseparable."
The United Tower is one of the "Seven Towers" in the name of the Seven Towers Federation. Like the Erudite Tower and the Faling Tower, they are all institutions throughout the Federation.
Among them, the Union Tower is an administrative agency that governs many internal affairs of the entire Federation.
If you have to compare it, it is the State Council.
All cities have Union Towers stationed there, except for the aristocratic fief - the administrative center of the aristocratic fief, which has another name, such as the administrative center of Snake Town, which is called Snake Head Tower.
Without keeping everyone waiting, the Black Beetle car set off at eight o'clock in the morning. After driving out of the West Station, two smaller Black Beetle cars followed.
A line of three vehicles slowly entered the route.
