"That's the Silver Horn Energy Machinist Competition Gold Medal that our shop once won!" Seeing that Garon was interested in this, the little girl forced a smile and walked over to introduce. She looked like she was only fourteen or fifteen years old and was already very tired, but she had no choice but to take the initiative to attract customers.
"Sorry, I'm not here to buy anything." Garon pointed to a recruitment advertisement at the side and said, "I'm a novice Energy Machinist, only Level Two. I'm looking for a job to earn some crystals."
When the little girl heard this, the spirit that she had been trying to raise suddenly dissipated.
"Looking for an OEM … We do need one. As you can see, the things on the counter are not complete. We sell Energy Machine Imprints and auxiliary materials, many things need to be processed by us after we purchase them. Especially the delicate processing of materials, the Energy Machine Imprint also needs to be fine-tuned and checked, and the shop is also very short of people. But the salary … is a little low. "
"How much?" Garon nodded.
"How about two hundred crystals a week?" The little girl said carefully.
Garon was completely unaware of the market situation, he just looked at the little girl and frowned.
"You can make the decision here?"
"Yes, this is my shop." The little girl nodded. In fact, in the general market, the things that a Level Two Energy Machinist could make were quite a lot. Two hundred crystals a week was already considered very low, the normal price was four hundred crystals a week. But this shop was almost unable to sustain itself. Even this ancestral point could not be maintained, and the annual maintenance fee could not be paid. If they did not work hard, it would not be long before this point's position in the special ability space would be completely removed.
"My name is Little Lan, this shop is under my grandfather's name. He's sick now, so only Senior Brother, Senior Sister, and I are taking care of the business together." The little girl said simply.
Garon nodded, but what he needed most now was the Energy Machine Imprint, everything else was not important, and the cheapest Energy Machine Imprint was very expensive. It was something that he could not afford at all.
"I can agree, but I've encountered some problems now, and I urgently need an Energy Machine Imprint. I don't know if you can give me an Energy Machine Imprint in advance, even the lowest level will do." He had no choice now. The Predators could attack the town he was in at any time, if he did not quickly improve his defensive ability, then no matter how strong he was, he would still die when he encountered an endless sea of Predators.
"Advance payment?" The little girl was stunned for a moment. "I'll have to go back and ask … But if you agree, you'll have to come over and complete the minimum amount of OEM tasks within a week after you sign the contract. Otherwise, it will be identified as illegal by the special ability space, and you may lose the qualification to enter the special ability space again. You have to understand. "
"Is that so? No problem." Garon nodded. He had no other choice. He was penniless and couldn't go to other shops. Perhaps the conditions here were not good, but this was his only choice.
There were two other shops that offered higher wages, but he couldn't enter them at all.
He watched the little girl turn around and walk back into the shop.
Garon wandered around the shop casually. There were indeed not many things on the counter. There were very few types of Energy Machine Imprints, only five or six types. They were all of the marine species and the ground species. There were no more popular air and underground imprints.
The air and underground cannon fodder were relatively good Energy Machine Imprints. For example, the color-changing bat could attack from a long distance. Its stealth and endurance were very strong. Because it could change color and hide for a long time, it did not consume much energy, so its endurance was better than the average imprint.
Another example was the underground earthworm, which could go deep into the ground to look for hidden underground bases. It was very popular in some special environments, and it was very stealthy and had a certain level of poison.
These were very good peripheral cannon fodder.
However, there were none of them here. There were only ordinary wild wolves and saber-toothed tigers, which were large in size, short in duration, and ordinary cannon fodder creatures.
Of course, a wild wolf and saber-toothed tiger were definitely stronger than the average color-changing bat in frontal combat. However, in this era of technology, no matter how strong your body was, if your dodging ability was not enough, you would be shot down in one shot.
Therefore, ordinary medium and large creatures were the cheapest Energy Machine Imprints.
The Energy Machine Imprint was about being faster, more accurate, and more powerful.
Garon glanced around and only saw wild wolves and saber-toothed tigers. The others were all cannon fodder of the marine species. This place was thousands of miles away from the sea, so it was natural that these imprints could not be sold.
Shaking his head, he also heard the sound of footsteps coming from inside. Looking up, he saw the little girl Lan walking out, followed by a tall and thin young man.
The man was wearing a white apron and metal wire gloves on both hands, which were stained with oil. His face looked tired, and he looked very tired. He was only in his twenties, about the same age as Garon.
"Hello, I'm the disciple of the boss here, Mincar. Are you the one who wants to join our shop as an OEM? "The man walked over, opened the small door of the counter, and came in front of Garon.
"Yes, it's me." Garon nodded.
"Then what can you do? Do you have any experience as a helper before? "The man asked with a hint of anticipation. "Although the salary is so low, I'm sorry to ask, but this is also to let you better be able to quickly get into the state of work."
"Uh …" This question made Garon speechless. He had not even entered the special ability space a few times, let alone any work he had done before. "To be honest, I'm a new Energy Machinist. I don't even have an Energy Machine Imprint, let alone any helper work."
He answered honestly. It was hard to cover up in this kind of place, so he might as well be direct.
"New?" A hint of disappointment flashed across the man Mincar's face, but he nodded understandingly. "I understand. If you're an Energy Machinist with work experience, you probably won't come to work here so easily."
He paused. "Then do you think this arrangement is okay? Only my junior sister and I are working in our shop now. Lan is in charge of sales, but we're only good at processing the biochemical imprints of the Sea Clan and the ground. We don't know anything else. I'm trying to process the imprints of the air units now. I'll give you a part of the workload for the ground imprint processing that I was originally in charge of. Just finish one a week, is that okay? "
"One?" Garon nodded. The cheapest imprint cost thousands of crystals, which was not something he could afford at all. Finishing one ground imprint in a week did not sound like a difficult task. "I haven't tried it before. Can you let me try first?"
"Okay."
The two of them led Garon into the shop inside and into another workroom-like room.
There were some ball-like floating objects inside. Each of the silver balls was suspended in the air by itself. There were more than ten of them of different sizes, and the contents of each of them could be seen through the outside.
Each of the balls looked like an embryo that was being nurtured. Inside was a colorful vortex that was constantly rotating. There seemed to be a colorful galaxy in it, which was exceptionally beautiful.
Mincar pointed at the largest ball and introduced.
"This is the Energy Machine Imprint that is being processed and cultivated. It's the imprint of a Liger Beast. The smaller the Energy Machine Imprint, the more functions it has, the stronger it is, and the more complicated the calculations are. The Cultivation Sphere requires the Energy Machinist to keep an eye on the data changes in it at all times, guiding and weaving the gene chain we need at the crucial steps. Then, we'll inject our Willpower into it, and the imprint that's born in the end will record all the processes in the Cultivation Sphere. "
He patted the big ball and smiled bitterly.
"Of course, in this nurturing process, the fewer mistakes we can make, the more perfect it is. Because every time a mistake is made, even if it's corrected later on, the Energy Machine Imprint that's born will make the same mistake when it's used to create cannon fodder in the Biochemical Pool. This will waste time and materials. If it's wasted every time, then it'll accumulate and the quality of the entire imprint will drop."
"That's true." Garon nodded to show his understanding.
"The general standard is that we can't make five mistakes at most, or the wastage rate can't exceed 10%." Mincar said simply.
"Everything we do when we operate the Cultivation Sphere will be recorded by the Energy Machine Imprint. The smoother it is, the more perfect the final imprint will be, and the less wastage will be. It's like we're engraving sections of procedures on the imprint. These procedures are irreversible. If we make a mistake, we can only remedy it, but we can't alter it. So every mistake directly determines the quality of the final imprint. This is the creation of an Energy Machine Imprint. "
The little girl Lan on the side also nodded.
"So the creation of an Energy Machine Imprint is usually one type of specialization. Cross-domain battles are just asking for death. Other than those old monsters who have too much time to spare, don't even think about it. "
"You." Mincar smiled bitterly and shook his head. "Do you think I want to?"
Hearing this, Garon also understood very well.
It was like they were burning discs, and the people who bought the imprint back were like playing the discs. Every time they created cannon fodder and bred the cannon fodder in the Biochemical Pool, it was like playing a discs. The more mistakes there were on the discs, it would even affect whether the playback was successful, whether there would be a pause in the middle, or whether the image was clear or blurry, and so on.
"It's good that you understand." Mincar nodded. "If you agree, you can sign an agreement here. We can agree to give you an Energy Machine Imprint in advance. After all, even if you didn't say it, we would still do it because Energy Machinists without an Energy Machine Imprint are very inefficient. This is not what we want. As for the type of Energy Machine Imprint, you can choose it yourself. You can have any in the shop anyway, there's nothing good. The price will be directly recorded in your salary and slowly deducted from it. "
"Okay."
Garon nodded in satisfaction.
"When do I start working?"
"Tomorrow. Choose your imprint today and familiarize yourself with it. Tomorrow, I'll teach you how to operate the Breeding Sphere." Mincar instructed. "How long do you plan to work?"
"A month first."
"Then I'll draw up the agreement."
"That's good." Garon agreed and took the agreement sheet that quickly appeared in Mincar's hand. After glancing through it and confirming that there were no traps, he quickly signed his name.
Clang!
With a soft sound, the agreement burned naturally and turned into black ashes in Garon's hand.
"This means that the agreement is in effect." Mincar nodded. "Lan, please take him to choose an imprint. Give him the price at cost price."
"Understood." The little girl Lan also had a smile on her face. She pulled her long red ponytail and turned to give Garon a friendly smile. "How should I call you?"
"Garon." Garon smiled. "Just call me Garon."
"That's amazing, Brother Garon. You've become a Level Two Energy Machinist at such a young age. Your teacher must be a very knowledgeable Energy Machinist, right?" Lan led Garon out of the processing room and back to the shop.
