Chapter 92: Chapter 81: Dark-Hearted, Chapter 82: Seeking Payback (Double Release)

Claire wasn’t angry, she just gave the burly man a sidelong glance, ”Got it, right... my boss never scams people!”

”You don’t know anything, yet you dare to say anything.”

”It was our mistake,” the big man admitted bluntly and then gave a thumbs up, ”Sir, you truly are a professional!”

Qu Jianlei heard this and rolled his eyes, ”Did you ask someone?”

”I asked,” the big man nodded. He still hadn’t found a Maintenance Master but had found two veterans.

One was an Adventurer skilled in using mechanical arms, someone who learned a lot about mechanical arm failures from experience.

The other could do some simple mechanical repairs but hesitated to act after testing it.

Mostly because the big man was accompanied by many people, each of whom was not easy to mess with. If the repair failed, there would definitely be trouble.

The big man hesitated, then asked another question, ”How did you figure out there was a problem with the main shaft of the support arm?”

Of the three points mentioned, he remembered this one, and it might actually be true.

The key issue with this main shaft is a hidden danger; it doesn’t affect usage, but if it breaks during a battle, it would be disastrous.

Qu Jianlei didn’t bother to answer this question. Sound wave inspection is no big deal—even though many Maintenance Masters don’t have inspection devices.

The main reason is that he has OCD and did a comprehensive check at the time.

He asked back, ”Two hundred for the repair, and two hundred for saving your life... is it expensive?”

Actually, it’s not just about saving a life. If the main shaft breaks during battle, the collapsing mechanical arm might even kill teammates.

”Not expensive!” The big man shook his head honestly, but dared not ask further.

”I’ll write down the materials you need,” Qu Jianlei said, searching for pen and paper, ”Leave four hundred silver coins first.”

Paying the repair fee upfront is something only a Maintenance Master would do. Generally, a Maintenance Master would settle the payment after the repair is done.

But the big man dared not say anything. They had already harbored grievances, and it was rare for him not to fuss over it right then.

Two days later, the big man came again, tested the mechanical arm, and left with a smile on his face.

Qu Jianlei began setting up various traps and mechanisms in the small courtyard to ensure that Claire could guard the home well after he left.

The traps he set up were exceptionally ingenious, and there were many illusions, even Spencer couldn’t figure out how the traps worked.

Cindy and the Flower Scorpion were also busy preparing for the upcoming winter hunt.

That night, Qu Jianlei absorbed his third Mutant Crystal, leaving only two B-level and two A-level ones in his hands.

The Cultivation Technique was further refined, but he was still a bit short in reaching the seventh level of Qi Refining.

At dawn, he wrapped up his practice and couldn’t help but softly mutter, ”Tsk... I need to get more Crystals.”

Even the Flower Scorpion thought that Energy Blocks were the major expense, but only he knew that the most costly part was Mutant Crystals!

In the Zhou Six Residence Area, there are B-level and even A-level Mutant Beasts, but getting the Crystals is exceedingly difficult.

He walked out of the room to check the weather, disappointedly muttering again, ”Looks like the cold wave will take another two days.”

After breakfast, someone suddenly knocked on the door, and Spencer went to open it.

Four people came in; it was the burly man who repaired the mechanical arm and the woman, along with two middle-aged men.

The woman pointed at Qu Jianlei, ”It was him who said the main shaft of the mechanical arm had a problem.”

A flash of impatience crossed Qu Jianlei’s eyes, and he frowned slightly, ”Is there a problem?”

A middle-aged man wearing sleeves stained with oil stepped forward, ”How did you know the main shaft had a problem?”

This was undoubtedly a Maintenance Master, Qu Jianlei replied calmly, ”You can inspect the main shaft yourselves, why come to me?”

”The main shaft has already been sold as scrap,” the man wearing sleeves said, ”Do you have a sound wave inspection device here?”
