He opened up another interface of the trading center. With a whoosh, numerous orders popped up.
This was a common way to earn money on the Xinyuan Battle Network — accepting orders to earn money.
There were all sorts of orders on the interface. The orders that Hayashi River searched for were naturally related to maintenance.
"Orders suitable for beginner level mechanics … Let's try a simple one first …"
After opening an order, Hayashi River frowned and closed it again. The reward was too low. It was only 40 copper coins. When would he be able to gather 10 gold coins?
He would not accept orders that were less than 1 silver coin!
Hayashi River made up his mind and continued searching for orders. After 15 minutes, he rubbed his dizzy head and came to a sad conclusion.
It seemed that the orders that beginner level mechanics could receive would not exceed 1 silver coin.
"Eh … Why is this order paying 4 silver coins …"
Seeing an order, Hayashi River's eyes lit up. He opened it and came to a realization. "This is a production order for Xinyuan Machinery Blueprints. No wonder the reward is 4 silver coins."
The production of Xinyuan Machinery Blueprints was much more difficult than normal maintenance orders. It required a strong knowledge of various aspects of machinery maintenance and an expert in deducing the Xinyuan code in order to produce a Xinyuan Machinery Blueprints.
Therefore, the rewards for orders related to Xinyuan Machinery Blueprints were very high. The starting price was 10 times that of normal orders.
Hayashi River looked through the order and fell into deep thought. With his machinery maintenance skills, it should not be a problem for him to produce a simple Xinyuan Machinery Blueprints.
However, he had never produced one before and did not know if he could complete it within a day.
"I'll accept it first. If it's not completed within the time limit, I'll pay 2 copper coins. As for deducting Xinyuan points, isn't there a chance for a novice to deduct points for their first order? "
Raising his hand, Hayashi River accepted the order. After looking through it carefully a few times, he had a complete idea of the blueprints.
He came to a transparent workbench in the middle of the laboratory. After it was turned on, rays of light intertwined with each other and a crisp voice sounded, "Xinyuan Code Derivator, activation complete."
His fingers moved twice. Hayashi River's hands were itching. It had been a few days since he last deduced the Mental Element code.
On the Alliance College's virtual platform, the ability he was most proud of was not his extraordinary combat talent, but his deduction of mental energy codes.
A brilliant Mechanic first had to be an expert in the Mind Code. It was not the other way around.
He raised his hands and reached for the interweaving light curtains on the transparent workbench. Like picking up a thin thread, he pinched one of the light curtains.
A symbol appeared in midair above the transparent workbench. It emitted a faint light, as if it was a type of mysterious text.
This was the Heart Element code!
With rapt attention, Hayashi River waved his hands ceaselessly as if he was spinning silk from a cocoon, forming runes one after another on the light screens.
His movements were very fast, just like when he was disassembling the sensor helmet. It was full of a kind of elegance, like a master painting.
After a while, the Mental Origin Codes were arranged in order. They were similar to the Mental Origin Codes on the stone ball, and they actually emitted a faint sense of mystery.
He put his hands together, and a strange pattern was formed. This was the Mental Origin Code Lock.
Different Mental Origin Code Locks were engraved on the Mental Origin Power Chip, and they would have different effects.
"The Mental Origin Code Lock for this machine blueprint was completed so quickly …"
Hayashi River was a little surprised. This was his first time producing a Mental Origin Machine blueprint, and it looked much simpler than he had imagined.
After that, he used the holographic simulator to manufacture the mechanical parts required by this blueprint. After the assembly was completed, he engraved the Mental Origin Code Lock on the blank Mental Origin Power Chip.
"Generating Mental Origin Machine blueprint …"
A blueprint appeared on the workbench. Hayashi River opened the trading interface and requested for the system to verify it.
"Requirements met. Order completed."
"Received 2 silver coins."
"Complete another ten similar orders. Mental Origin Points + 1."
Following the crisp notification sound, Hayashi River was a little stunned. It was completed just like that? It had only been 20 minutes.
The time limit for this order was one day.
It seemed that the time limit for the order was more relaxed, giving the receiver enough time to complete it.
"Based on this, as long as I work hard, it is not impossible to earn 1 gold coin in one night. I can earn 10 gold coins in 10 days. "
"When my maintenance skills improve, won't I earn even more?"
"As expected, as long as I can enter the Mental Origin Battle Net, I don't have to worry about money anymore."
At this moment, if Hayashi River opened his eyes, his pupils would definitely be in the shape of gold coins.
The money he earned in 10 days was equivalent to two months' salary of a White Arrow Harbor guard. This was a high income for any graduate from a famous school.
"Now is not the time to think about this. There are still many places where I will need money in the future. I should hurry up and accept more orders to earn more money."
Hayashi River shook his head and threw those unrealistic fantasies to the back of his mind. Within 10 days, he had to earn 10 gold coins first.
"Let's begin …"
On the trading interface, the order rewards were listed from high to low. Hayashi River did not carefully look at the contents of the order. He scanned through it hurriedly and felt that he could complete it, so he accepted the order.
First, he would take orders for an entire night, complete them one by one, and then collect the money. Just thinking about it was wonderful.
"Let me turn into a merciless machine …"
Once he took another order, Lin Chuan became fully focused and started working the entire night.
…
At dawn, in the eastern neighborhood of the White Arrow Harbor.
This was the high-class residential area of the White Arrow Harbor, where the mansions of various families in the harbor were located.
In the study on the second floor of one of the mansions, Donald was half-lying on a leather sofa made of black-horned cowhide, covered with a thick silver snow cashmere blanket. He was enjoying the cold wind from the air conditioner and a sip of iced Blue Moon Wine, enjoying the warm and cool comfort.
Donald loved the summer in White Arrow Port, especially in June, when it was the hottest time of the year. Just lying there, tasting the wine and thinking about the scorching heat outside gave him an indescribable sense of triumph over nature.
Of course, it would be perfect if his nephew, Isaac, the current patriarch of the Rhine family of the White Arrow Harbor, could not make noise in the study.
In front of the desk in the study, the short and stout Isaac was facing the light screen and talking to a fishman-like Haiga.
To be exact, Isaac wasn't conversing. He was yelling, "Barrett, say that again? It costs 100,000 gold coins to make a radar blueprint specifically for tracking the White Arrow King Fish? Do you think I'm as gullible as a child?
"Do you know that the cost of hunting a White Arrow King Fish alone is more than 10,000 gold coins? A White Arrow King Fish is sold at the highest price, and it's only 30,000 gold coins. In the entire York Inland Sea, there might not even be a White Arrow King Fish in ten years. You @ X to make a special radar blueprint, and you said it costs 100,000 gold coins? You greedy Haiga … "
"Isaac, this is the price of our Haiga people. 100,000 gold coins is impossible to be less. You can choose not to buy it. By the way, the other families of your White Arrow Harbor have already contacted us, but we have rejected them all. Think about it carefully. You are different from the human families of the White Arrow Harbor. You have the bloodline of the dwarves of the Moonlight Coast, so we are willing to accept this order. Besides, you can use such a special radar for the rest of your life! "
"Isaac, to tell you the truth, our Haiga people are not prepared to do business with humans. As for you, you are a mixed-blood dwarf with half human blood flowing in your body. It is already an exception for us to talk business with you. Do you want to buy it or not?! "
On the light screen, the Haiga Bart's sharp voice sounded. He laughed ear-piercingly and then turned off the communication.
"Huff, huff …"
Isaac's eyes were red as he rubbed his brown hair irritably. With a low roar, he got up to smash the light screen.
Bang!
A wine cup flew over and exploded on Isaac's forehead. He was not injured, and the blue wine flowed down his forehead, causing him to sober up.
"Uncle Donald, I'm sorry. I was impulsive and lost my temper again," Isaac lowered his head and muttered.
"Isaac, if you weren't my nephew, I really wanted to throw you into the York Sea and feed you to those White Arrow Fishes."
Donald shook his head, feeling exasperated and helpless.
His nephew was exactly the same as his father. He had a bad temper and was honest. He could be a senior fisherman, but how could he be a patriarch?
At that time, if it were not for his sister, Isaac's father would not have been able to sit in the position of patriarch.
Now, his sister and that incompetent brother-in-law were no longer around, so he could only take care of his nephew.
Looking at Isaac's guilty expression, Donald's heart softened. After all, he was his sister's child. Although he was not suitable to be a patriarch, he did not have any bad records in other aspects.
"Isaac, you can't negotiate business like this. Although the Haiga Race's asking price is high, we can slowly negotiate the price. You have to understand that the Rhine Family is not hunting the White Arrow Fish for money, but for reputation, "Donald said.
"But, Uncle Donald, a special radar blueprint costs 100,000 gold coins. This is simply extortion. Blueprints that are not one-star are only worth 1,000 gold coins at most. But the Haiga Race wants to raise the price by a hundred times! It's fine if we catch the White Arrow Fish King, but if we don't, wouldn't we have lost so many gold coins for nothing? I don't want to be such a sucker … "
Thinking of Bart's face, Isaac's anger rose again. However, when he met Donald's cold gaze, his body trembled, and he lowered his head in silence.
