The atmosphere of the entire area changed because of the appearance of the aircraft with the Blazing Eagle emblem. Some of the people in the shops began to pack their things and rushed to the city.
This was the world here. The hierarchy was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Many people did not have strong personal strength, but by chance, they managed to ride on the coattails of a certain aristocrat and soared overnight. It was no wonder that the people here had such a reaction. To the commoners, who did not dream of becoming rich overnight?
On the other hand, Cillin was calm. Originally, he was going to return to the shop directly, but after thinking for a moment, he decided to go to the spare parts shop on the next street instead. There were many crossings between the two streets, so Cillin did not take a long detour. All he did was turn a corner and walk a few steps.
It was different from what Silin had imagined. Because many people dreamed of being appreciated by the aristocrats, the items on display in the shop were also being packed. Some of the parts that were in a hurry to be sold were left unattended. This was Silin's goal.
After comparing a few shops, Silin bought a lot of second-hand parts at a lower price. The owners of these shops wanted to sell them quickly and leave as soon as possible. They could also earn some capital to spend in the city, so Silin took advantage of them.
However, when Silin was about to leave the spare parts street, there was a small dispute in one of the shops.
"Haha, that brother's face is messed up!" Chang Xiaoba laughed as he pointed at the person who was being pushed out of the shop.
Silin originally did not plan to pay attention to it, but when he heard Chang Xiaoba's words, he looked over. The person that Chang Xiaoba was talking about had traces of dark fruit juice on his face. He was not old, about 20 years old, and had a good appearance.
At this moment, the young man who was pushed out of the shop was arguing with the shop owner.
"Didn't we agree to hire him for 30 days? It's only been two days, how can you go back on your word?! "
"So what if I go back on my word? I'm the shop owner, I have the final say. Besides, we didn't sign any contract, so it doesn't count! Hurry up and leave, don't be an eyesore here! "
…
The two of them argued for a while. In the end, the shop owner pushed the young man away and quickly closed the door, isolating the young man outside.
The young man glared outside the door, looking a little depressed, and muttered, "Why is it so hard to find a job?"
The young man turned around and looked at the other shops around him. The people who had been watching the fun hurriedly looked away and began to pretend to pack up their parts, for fear that the troublesome kid would accidentally come to their shop.
Silin was about to leave when the young man looked around and his gaze landed on Silin. His originally depressed face suddenly broke into a smile.
Silin lifted his leg and left.
"Hey, wait, brother, don't go!" That person quickly ran in front of Silin and smiled brightly, making people want to kick him.
Silin didn't say anything. He just looked at the person in front of him.
"Brother, you must be from one of the shops here, right? Can you do me a favor? I want to find a short-term job for about 30 days. The salary can be discussed later. I don't ask for much. I just want a place to stay and food and a place to live, "the young man said.
Cillin looked the man up and down. He was dressed about the same as everyone else on the street, and there was also the smell and stains of the care fluid on his body parts. However, the feeling he gave Cillin was different. He couldn't shake the feeling that this man shouldn't be here. Of course, there was no dangerous aura or malicious intent, which made Silin feel relieved.
"Big flowery face, shame on you!" Chang Xiaoba looked at the young man and said.
However, the young man just smiled and wiped his face with his sleeve. "I've let you laugh at me, little sister. I was hit by a glass of fruit juice that fell from the sky and didn't wipe it clean. "
It was common to be hit by fruit juice, but the young man didn't wipe his face clean, so the marks faded a little.
"You want to sell parts?" Silin asked.
The young man's eyes lit up. He wasn't afraid of being rejected; he was afraid of not saying anything. As soon as Silin spoke, he felt hope.
"I'm very familiar with parts. I've raced with people before. I repair my own car, so I'm familiar with many related parts. I've looked around. Most of the parts sold on the street are related to flying cars, so I'm quite confident. If you don't believe me, you can test me."
Silin shook his head. "But I'm not selling parts. I'm from the maintenance street next door."
Silin's words made the young man's eyes light up even more. He said eagerly, "That's even better. I'm experienced. If you don't believe me, you can test it too!"
Seeing Silin frown and remain silent, the young man thought that Silin was going to refuse. He put on a pitiful look and said, "Don't they say that people who take care of children are more soft-hearted?"
Silin was speechless.
Was there such a thing? Besides, even if there was such a thing, did he have to say it in front of others?
Chang Xiaoba looked at the pitiful big brother in front of him, and then looked at Silin. He didn't say anything. Grandpa had said that children shouldn't speak up when adults made decisions.
"Take me, take me. I'm very diligent, and I don't ask for much of a salary. I heard that a lot of it is linked to performance. I think I can do it. I'm really good at repairing cars. I also know the latest models of parts. Oh, and I've dabbled in several smart operating systems in recent years. If you don't believe me, you can test me!" The young man said with an expression that said true gold feared no fire.
Silin walked around the young man and continued walking forward.
"Hey, brother, don't go. Think about it. You can't miss out on such an excellent labor force like me …"
"How am I going back to the shop if I don't walk?" Silin said without looking back.
When the young man heard this, he knew that he had agreed! He hurriedly caught up to Silin and even took the initiative to help Silin unscrew the two boxes of parts he had just bought.
On the way back, the young man didn't stop talking. He told Silin about the things he knew, but he didn't tell Silin about his hometown or his experiences. Silin didn't ask either.
The young man's name was Bel. He didn't mention his surname. He asked for Silin and Little Eight's names, and then he started talking to himself.
It was the shop owner's decision whether to hire him or not. This was what Silin had told Bel. Bel said that he would use his skills to impress the shop owner, and he was quite confident in himself.
Actually, many shops wanted to hire people like Bel, but the situation was a bit special. Most people who hired short-term workers didn't have the mood to open their shops, and some shop owners didn't want to hire people who would only work for thirty days. The time was too short.
Bel was still talking nonstop. He glanced at the lollipop that Little Eight was licking, then at the bag that Silin was carrying, and then at Silin.
Silin handed the bag over, and Bel picked a flavor that he liked without hesitation. Then, he and Little Eight started licking the lollipop, competing to see who had the longer tongue, the faster, and the better technique.
Silin regretted bringing this guy along. Why was he so stupid?!
When they returned to the shop, Silin put away the things he had bought. Old Man Chang didn't immediately ask why Silin was selling so many secondhand parts. There were some things that couldn't be said in front of strangers in Bel's presence.
Silin briefly explained Bel's situation, then took the triplets and Chang Xiaowu to distribute the snacks. Huimao also joined in the fun. Huimao was a bit disappointed when he heard that there were no fish biscuits in the shop. He reluctantly chewed on some children's biscuits to grind his teeth.
As for Bel, Old Man Chang did a quick check on his skills. He was a real talent, and he was very familiar with the principles and structure of a flying car. Old Man Chang didn't hire people before because he didn't have enough money to pay them. However, Bel didn't ask for much. He said that his salary could be deducted from the commission of his performance. Plus, he only had to work for thirty days, and there was an empty house in his house. Old Man Chang really wanted to give it a shot. If it worked out, he could still try to hire people even after Bel left.
Bel was very happy that he was able to stay. He rushed to finish the work that Old Man Chang was doing. Old Man Chang nodded as he watched Bel work.
In the most prosperous part of the city, a few important figures of the planetary government were sitting in the lavish reception room of a tall building. Two people sat in the highest seats of the reception room. One of them had a stern expression on his face, and the other had a kind smile on his face. But no matter who they were, no one from the planetary government dared to look them in the eye. They were afraid that they'd make a mistake and anger them.
There were a few guards standing around the guest hall. The guards were all wearing the same uniform with the emblem and pattern of the Blazing Eagle. These were real soldiers, soldiers belonging to the Blazing Eagle Royal Family. Compared to the guards on the planet, even a fool could tell who was better and who was worse.
A few hours later, the people from the planetary government retreated from the reception room with their backs hunched. They only straightened up after walking a long distance and wiped the sweat off their foreheads.
"Do you guys think those two really just happened to pass by and check on us?" one of them asked.
The other wiped the sweat from the corner of his eyes. The two of them had played the good cop and the bad cop earlier, and they were all scared out of their wits. "Who cares? It looks like those two aren't planning to do anything to us. We just need to make sure that we don't get into any trouble in the near future."
"That's true. I'll bring them back to decorate and show off the development results of our city. "
After the people from the planetary government left one by one, the two people in the reception room sighed at the same time. They no longer had the imposing manner they had just now. They looked at each other and lamented the helplessness in their companion's eyes.
"I feel haggard again." Sigh, why was it 'again'?
That person's smiling face was now filled with helplessness.
That person's cold face was no longer cold. He rubbed his forehead. "I really don't know what to do with him."
They had flown to the civilian area just to see the progress of His Royal Highness' activities. Otherwise, who would be so bored as to check on them?
"We've been following behind His Royal Highness' butt for more than ten years, right? Tell me, when will it end? "
"I want to know too."
The current Fire Eagle King only had one son and one daughter. Not long after his son became sensible, he expressed that he had no interest in the throne and wanted to pursue his own freedom. In the end, he was beaten up by the Fire Eagle King, but no matter how hard he beat him, he couldn't get rid of the decision he had made in his son's mind. Then, a group of people's miserable lives began.
As for the right to inherit the throne of the royal family, it didn't necessarily have to be the current king's biological son. As long as they had the bloodline of Flaming Eagle Folvig, they had the right to inherit. No matter who it was, the successor had to go through a strict and long selection process. The ruler of the Fire Eagle Royal Family couldn't afford to make any mistakes.
His son had no interest in inheriting the throne. After spurring him for so many years, he still hadn't made any progress. The current Fire Eagle King was at his wit's end. As his son grew older, it became harder and harder to pull him back. In the end, he could only give up and choose a few outstanding children to focus on nurturing.
There was no need to doubt the character of the current Fire Eagle King and his consort. The Fire Eagle King was definitely an outstanding ruler, and the consort was definitely a gentle and refined person.
When the consort was pregnant, she had imagined how outstanding her child would be, but it turned out to be a bucket of cold water poured over the consort's head. When he came back to his senses, his ideal daughter had already stolen bird nests, raced on flying cars, and swung a metal stick that was thicker than her to chase a five meter tall bear through the forest.
The son that he had high hopes for had also developed abnormally. The amount of time he had played truant in school was much more than the amount of time he had spent in school. The unreliable part of his brain would occasionally twitch and he would always do some unimaginable things.
At the beginning, this prince, who had high hopes on him, had ignored the opinions of the Fire Eagle King and Princess Consort and followed the media to report on some important battlefields. Later, he had become a spy on a whim. What was strange was that with his stupid personality, the rioters did not suspect this kind of spy until the end of the battle. The rioters probably thought that a spy wouldn't be so stupid.
It had to be known that at that time, the prince had been receiving higher education. Which young person of his age didn't want to get a higher education mark to pave the way for the future? The children of the royal bloodline all fought to show off, but this was how the prince had acted?
Not just the current Fire Eagle King, even the former Fire Eagle King was so angry that he had destroyed several flying devices. But it was useless. In front of elders like the Fire Eagle King and the consort, the prince's perfect filtered ears could filter out the words he didn't want to hear. As for being beaten, he had gotten used to it after being beaten for so many years. His body's resistance to beatings wasn't something that people of the same race could compare to.
In short, the things that this unreliable prince did made the Fire Eagle King angrier and angrier. He had punished and beaten him, but he just wouldn't turn back.
The Fire Eagle King said, "Just give up on this thought!"
The prince: "I can't help it, my heart isn't a strip."
The Fire Eagle King: "… …"
After a beating incident, he had been punished.
The Fire Eagle King's face was cold, "Only this time, no next time!"
However, most of the time, "this is the only time and not the next time" was nonsense. If there was a first, there would be a second, and if there was a second, there would be a third. The prince, who was lying on the ground and almost beaten to death, automatically filtered out these words.
Every time His Royal Highness was forced to write a letter of repentance by the Fire Eagle King, his literary skills would improve each time. All kinds of rhetorical devices would be used, and the article that he wrote would definitely be 'excellent' in terms of writing style, but looking at the content, it was nothing. Even if the whole article was filled with touching words of repentance, there would never be a promise like "no next time".
Just like this time, he had just finished his semester exams at school and his brain suddenly twitched. He ran to this poor place and said he wanted to experience the life of the lower class.
Experience my ass! Your Highness, you have experienced more kinds of life than all of your subordinates combined!
The princess sighed three times a day, unable to understand. She and the Fire Eagle King, as well as the environment in the Fire Eagle Royal Family's territory, how could they let their children develop like this?
In the end, the Princess Consort attributed the reason to skipping generations of inheritance. This was a problem left over from history because His Royal Highness' grandfather had a similar temperament. Because of this, when the Fire Eagle King was fighting for the throne in that generation, this old man had withdrawn early.
As for the prince's actions, his grandfather raised both hands in approval. Several times, it was this old man who urged him to cooperate in the crime. Thus, the current Fire Eagle King and the former Fire Eagle King worked together to separate the old man from the prince. These two grandfather and grandson were really unconventional in the Flaming Eagle Fulvig Family. If these two unconventional people worked together, wouldn't that turn the world upside down?!
As long as the prince didn't go to find his grandfather, the Fire Eagle King would let him do as he pleased. Thus, the two people who followed behind the prince to clean up the mess became haggard after that.
The two haggard people sighed at each other, and the prince they called intermittently twitchy was currently working with Silin to repair their flying cars.
It was just as Cillin had predicted. Since everyone was going to the city to try their luck, every family's damaged or faulty flying car hurriedly rushed over to repair it. There were also a lot of people on the repair street who had driven their flying cars to the city a long time ago, so any repair shop that was still open was doing very well. Right now, people no longer cared about the repair fees. What mattered most was the quality and speed of the repair. If they were even a second late, they would feel like they had been taken advantage of.
Right now, Old Man Chang's hands were numb from receiving so many orders that his hands had turned to jelly. Right now, Cillin and Bel were the ones doing most of the repairs, and Old Man Chang was only responsible for the final inspection after the repairs were completed. Cillin and Bel's work was flawless, and they were even more efficient than Old Man Chang's.
Cillin hadn't paid much attention to speed before, so he had held back a little. But now that the orders were coming in one after another, he couldn't hold back any longer. Actually, he could go from one flying car per hour to one flying car per half an hour, but that would be too conspicuous. Cillin still had some sense of propriety.
Bel wasn't slow either. He repaired a flying car every half an hour, which made Old Man Chang smile happily. He'd picked up a treasure again.
Cillin thought that Bel could repair the ship faster than Cillin, but he had the same idea as Cillin. He didn't want to stand out too much and just show off a little. That was why the two of them had a tacit understanding to maintain a similar speed.
There were many people waiting in line for repairs, but the line moved quickly. Many repair shops had increased their prices, but Old Man Chang's didn't. Or rather, the increase wasn't too obvious.
Right now, the gray cat wasn't in the mood to discuss procedural issues with Chang Xiaowu. Instead, it was calculating today's profits with Chang Xiaowu. As the numbers grew bigger and bigger, the gray cat felt that its beloved fish biscuits were swimming towards it from not too far away.
