At dawn.
In the small wooden hut of the Moonblade Pirates' camp.
Lin Chuan sat in front of a table. There was a large bag of coins on the ground. This was the money he had earned from repairing Heart Origin Equipment for two hours. If he included the money he owed from before and deducted the small change, it was worth 350,000 gold coins.
Because there were too many gold coins, they were replaced with the common green crystal coins. The ratio of green crystal coins to gold coins was 1: 100.
On the other side of the table, Captain Warren sat with the pirate's machete and flintlock. After half a night of battle, these two weapons had malfunctioned and could not display their full power.
"Captain Warren, do you want to fight to the death? Pirates are really a dangerous profession … "Hayashi River said with a worried expression.
Don't be a hypocrite. I really want to spit on your face …
Captain Warren was trembling with anger. He did not expect things to develop to this point.
Not long ago, the Darkwater Pirates who were fighting discovered that something was wrong. Why was the Moonblade Pirates' firepower getting fiercer and fiercer? Did their weapons not need to be repaired at all?
The few leaders of the Darkwater Pirates muttered. If this continued, it would be bad. They had to think of a way. Since it was hard to get off, they might as well stake it all on one throw. Perhaps they might have a chance of winning.
Thus, the leader of the Darkwater Pirates appeared and shouted through a loudspeaker. His voice spread across the battlefield, declaring war on Captain Warren. He claimed that in order to avoid casualties, they would fight a real man 1 vs 1 battle.
A battle to the death!
According to the rules of the Darkwater Beach, Captain Warren could not refuse the declaration of war. He could only come here and ask Hayashi River to repair the two weapons.
The repair of this simplified version of the Xinyuan Equipment was different from that of other Star-level Xinyuan Equipment. It required a Greyish-White Furnace repairman or a Mechanic to repair it.
"Brother Hayashi River, help me repair them …"
Warren gritted his teeth and took out a thick stack of green crystal coins worth 50,000 gold coins. This was the repair fee that the Warren Family owed.
Hayashi River waved his hand and said, "Captain Warren, you should know why I am here. What I want is the thing that Teacher Tie Yin's teacher left behind."
"This …"
Hearing that, Warren wanted to say that there was no such thing. The Warren Family had never acknowledged the existence of such a thing, but the captain of the Warren Family wanted to say that there was no such thing.
Seeing this, Hayashi River continued, "As long as you return that thing to the Gray-white Furnace, not only can I repair these two weapons, but …"
He glanced at the large parrot man. He believed that the latter was intelligent enough to understand what he was implying.
"Alright."
Since it was a matter of life and death, Warren gritted his teeth and nodded decisively. "However, that thing isn't in the camp. It's in a secret hideout of the Warren Family. After this battle, I'll accompany you there and retrieve that thing. I'll use this as a mortgage first! "
As he spoke, he handed a bunch of keys to Hayashi River. These were the keys to the camp's storage.
Hayashi River nodded. Using the property of the Moonblade Pirates as collateral was a sign of sincerity.
Immediately after, Hayashi River quickly repaired the pirate machete and flintlock. He also made some modifications to Warren's Heart Energy Protective Suit and Heart Energy Power Boots.
"Then, I wish you success! Captain Warren, "Hayashi River said.
The large parrot held the pirate machete in one hand and the flintlock in the other. He looked at the young man and could not help but let out a shrill 'cuckoo' sound and scurried out of the small wooden house.
He wanted to use the head of the Darkwater Bandits to vent the anger in his heart …
…
Early morning.
Gray-white Furnace, Mentor Tie Yin's office.
Tie Yin turned on his communicator. The [White Dwarf Kingdom Furnace Group] was very lively. Messages had been popping up non-stop since early in the morning.
Most of the members of this group were the Furnace Managers of the White Dwarf Kingdom. There were also some Master Mechanics from the White Dwarf Kingdom. It was an official group, so the nicknames of the members were very official.
Every morning, the members would come online to greet each other and talk about mechanical problems. The academic atmosphere was very strong.
[Group Management] Manager of the Steel Furnace: "In ten days, the Mechanic qualification test will begin. Dean Teixo, have you come up with your questions?"
Seeing the group manager's question, the rest of the members all tagged Dean Teixo, trying to find out more about him.
Seeing this, Master Tie Yin also tagged Dean Teixo. He also wanted to find out more about him.
One had to know that the difficulty of the Mechanic qualification test was already very high. Even if one knew the questions, one might not be able to get a high score.
If the angle of the question was a little more off, it would stump a bunch of people, and the passing rate would drop significantly.
The difficulty of the Mechanic qualification test in the White Dwarf Kingdom was famous in both the Eastern and Western Continents. There had even been cases where the passing rate was in the single digits.
In the past twenty years, this Dean Teixo had been the one to come up with the questions six times, and three of them had a passing rate in the single digits.
This year, it was Dean Teixo's turn to come up with the seventh question. The Advanced Mechanics of the White Dwarf Kingdom who were about to take the test were all trembling.
The managers of the various furnaces were also anxious. Now that Dean Teixo had come up with a question, their students would not all be wiped out.
In the group chat, Dean Teixo sent a 'everyone calm down' emoji and said, "I'm the one who comes up with the questions. I can't talk about this, or it'll be against the rules and I'll be stripped of my right to come up with questions in the future."
It's best if I'm stripped of my right!
You pervert who likes to torture students should've left the circle of question setting long ago!
All the members expressed their disbelief and cursed in their hearts. Without you as the one who comes up with the questions, the countless Mechanics of the White Dwarf Kingdom would be cheering.
[Group Management] Manager of the Fire Hammer Furnace: "Dean Teixo, more than seventy percent of the people in the group have students who are going to take the test this year. You really have to go easy on them this time!"
"Don't worry, everyone," Dean Teixo said. "I promise on my honor that the passing rate this year will not be lower than last year's. I've talked to the kingdom's Machinery Research Institute about this. "
Hearing this, all the members patted their chests. The passing rate last year was more than two hundred. It seemed that Dean Teixo had given them face this time. How rare.
Master Tie Yin was also relieved. With Dean Teixo's guarantee, at least one of his three students would pass.
At this time, an icon lit up in the group chat. The manager of the Giant Rock Furnace was online.
Seeing this icon, Master Tie Yin frowned and wanted to go offline.
Manager of the Boulder Furnace: "Tie Yin, I heard that you have three students who are going for the Mechanic exam this time? Is the student you recently accepted also going to take the test? "
The group went quiet for a moment. This manager of the Giant Rock Furnace, Master Bainter, is starting again. He's going to cause trouble for Master Tie Yin again.
However, some of the members were curious too. They had all heard about Tie Yin's new student, who had been praised by Master Edmund.
Master Tie Yin frowned and replied, "My new student is too young. It'll be another two years before he can take the Mechanic test."
The manager of the Boulder Furnace: "Oh? That's a pity. I was going to say that Dean Teixo will be setting the test this year. We'll see if your new student or my student, Augustus, is better. "
Augustus …
All the members' hearts skipped a beat. They cursed Master Bainter for being so shameless. How many times had he shown off in the past three years? Wasn't he sick of it?
Master Tie Yin remained silent and left the group chat without saying anything.
…
On the other side.
Giant Rock Furnace, Master Bainter's office.
Looking at [White Dwarf Kingdom's Furnace Group], and the icon of [Gray Furnace Keeper] turned gray, Master Bainte laughed. His white dwarf face was flushed, and he looked very happy.
Raising his head, he saw a young Lionheart in a white Mechanic robe standing in front of his desk. His blonde hair was handsome, and his face was proud and confident.
Master Bainter nodded. He admired this student, Augustus, more and more.
"Augustine, I've already sent your information to the Broken Scale County for the Mechanic Qualification Examination. You'll have to use your full strength during the Mechanic Qualification Examination. Show those students from the Gray Furnace how big the gap between you and them is," Master Bainte said.
"Alright. Master Bainter. " The blonde youth, Augustus, bowed. "I won't let you down for the past three years. I'll break the highest score in the Broken Scale County's Mechanic test and let the students there look up to my record forever."
Master Bainter smiled and nodded with satisfaction. "That's right. First place must have this kind of confidence."
"Tie Yin, you've always been a head above me since we were students. You scored higher than me in the Mechanic test, became a Master Mechanic a year earlier than me, and became a Furnace Manager faster than me …"
"Since I can't beat you in everything, let's see who's better among the students we've taught."
