Chapter 475: Hundreds of Thousands of Airships
Sweat-ridden came to this city called Nope, and the sweat-soaked here certainly refers to Alice. Not only was she so exhausted that she was covered in sweat, but she also suffered quite a few injuries. She was carried back by Hughington's floating magic along the way. No matter how good the protection of the black dragon scale armor is, it does not mean that just anyone who wears it will be invincible.
Knop City is said to be a small city, but it is actually not small at all. It can be considered a medium-sized city. This may be the reason why there are not many surrounding towns, so residents gather here.
It is a relatively wide street with various shops and bars, bustling and entertainment venues. These facilities are not available in nearby rural towns. Bing Zhixie and his party found a hotel and checked into a room, and asked the waiter in the store: "Where is the nearest hospital?"
The waiter saw Alice's injured appearance and said: "After leaving the hotel Turn right and walk 700 meters, there is a clinic.”
Bing Zhixie said to Hughington: "You accompany her to the clinic to have a look."
Hughington put down his luggage and said: "Okay." He had been carrying the luggage and packages, and they The three six-pointed reindeer under Tubat volcano have been missing.
Alice pressed her chest. Just as Angelou said, the horned devil will continue to grow. Unfortunately, Alice encountered a horned devil that could self-destruct. The shock wave of the self-destruction made her The injury was serious. She said weakly: "Master...Master, why don't you accompany me?"
Bingzhixie said: "I still want to see how our hot air balloon is doing. It's getting dark soon. Go quickly."
After Hullington took Alice away, Bing Zhixie took out a note from his pocket and asked the waiter: "How to get to this address?"
< br>
The waiter looked at it and said: "You need to take the teleportation array on Cross Street. There is a map at the entrance of the hotel. You will know after looking at it."
"Thank you."
The waiter said: "You're welcome. I'll help you take your luggage to the room."
Bing Zhixie flicked his thumb, threw a gold coin to the waiter, and left the hotel.
Follow the map and pass through the teleportation array to Cross Street. This place looks like a place that specializes in selling mechanical tools, carriages, furniture, and puppets. Looking up to the sky, you can see one or two hot air balloons floating in the distance.
"It looks like this is it." Bing Zhixie found a small shop according to the address. A signboard next to the shop said 'Ju Peng Bird Balloon' and a row of smaller words next to it said 'In stock, welcome. order'.
There were three clerks, two men and one woman, in the store. Since there was no business coming to the store, the man and the woman were chatting and laughing. The man was not touching the woman. Another older man with a white beard was squatting at the door smoking a cigarette.
Bing Zhixie walked into the store. The man and woman saw it and immediately came to greet them. The man smiled and said: "Sir, do you want to order a hot air balloon? A small one of ten thousand, a medium one of three "Ten thousand, we have it in stock here. If you want to buy it now, you only need to pay three to five thousand gold coins and you can take it away immediately."
Female. The clerk took out a magazine and said: "These are the styles of various hot air balloons in our store. There are all types. As long as we see what you like, we can make it. And the after-sales service is absolutely first-class, with a three-month guarantee." Return, one-year replacement, three-year repair guarantee.”
Bing Zhixie was a little uncomfortable with their enthusiastic sales.
The old man smoking a dry cigarette smiled: "You see clearly, he is just a teenager, how can he spend tens of thousands of gold coins to buy a hot air balloon."
"Yes." The two clerks, a man and a woman, saw that there was no business. When I did, the enthusiasm immediately disappeared, and I returned to the original place to continue chatting. It seemed that there was no such person as Bing Zhixie in the store.
Bing Zhixie did not care about their attitude and asked: "Is Mr. Hoffman here?"
"Are you looking for our supervisor?" The old man smoking a dry cigarette said casually. Knock out the ash from the pipe, put a pinch in it and light it with magic , took a deep breath and said: "He is in the factory, what's the matter?"
Bing Zhixie said: "During the day, I ordered a hot air balloon for him and paid a deposit of 40,000 yuan. , he asked me to discuss the specific details with him when I have time.”
The three people's eyes lit up when they heard the 40,000 deposit. The female clerk said: "Are you the big customer that the boss said this morning that he plans to spend 140,000 gold coins to order a luxurious and luxurious giant super airship?"
Bing Zhixie nodded and said to himself: " I think I just want a hot air balloon that can fly the fastest." He guessed that Hoffman wanted to make a lot of money on himself, so he recommended the most expensive thing to sell, but he didn't care about this, as long as he could. Just fly fast.
The young male clerk immediately smiled again: "Boss, please come in and have a rest. We will greet you well... No, yours." He said to the female clerk: "You What are you still doing? Hurry up and bring the tea and all the food and drinks."
"Oh." The female clerk ran into the inner room to prepare the food. The old man smoking a dry cigarette murmured: "It's strange, I made a mistake this time. Come on, I'll inform the supervisor."
About twenty minutes later, the old man came with Hoffman, the director of the 'Jupon Bird Balloon Shop'.
Hoffman's full name is Charlie Hoffman. He is a man wearing a black tuxedo, a black top hat, a black cane in his hand, and a thick black beard. A tall, thin and gentlemanly middle-aged man. As soon as he saw Bing Zhixie, he went up to hold his hand enthusiastically and smiled happily: "I'm sorry for being late. Our production factory is a little far away from here. It's great that you can come."< br>
Bingzhixie said: "I came here to discuss the hot air balloon with you."
Hoffman stopped him and said: "It's not a hot air balloon, it's a more advanced airship. Ordinary hot air balloons? Those with independent power depend entirely on the weather and wind speed, which does not meet your requirements." He added: "Don't look at the small size of our store. In fact, I am only the manager of this branch. Our Jupeng Bird Balloon Store is located on Mainland China. We have branches in sixteen countries, and this is just an industry of our chamber of commerce, so we are very powerful, you can definitely rest assured."
Bing Zhixie nodded with a reluctant smile.
Hoffman sighed: "Speaking of which, if it weren't for the limited conditions of our factory, you would definitely be able to buy a ready-made airship if you went to one of our balloon marketing stores elsewhere. I have the design drawings of the airship here. I brought it, you can take a look. If you have any requirements or if you want to change anything, just say it."
"So soon?" Bing Zhixie took the album in his hand. Still in color.
Hoffman smiled and said: "This is nothing. We have been doing this for many years and have rich experience. We have made many kinds of balloons and airships. These drawings are just It’s just what we have used before. But if you want us to redesign it, it’s okay to make a new design.”
“No, no,” Bing Zhixie waved her hand. The page turned. This album introduces it in great detail, from the colored pictures after forming to the structural drawings after breaking down, with explanations and annotations attached next to them.
Hoffman said: "There are a total of four airship designs here. In fact, there are better ones, but you are in such a hurry, and our conditions here are not enough. But as long as you need it, We can change it right away.”
Bing Zhixie asked while watching: "By the way, have you started production?"
"We are just sending the materials here because the country of Guiniz is too poor. Buy There are not many people using hot air balloons and they can afford to take off. Those who buy boats are usually only wealthy people in the capital, so we send a lot of materials from the branches in the capital."
Alice said: "Then you still open a store here?"
Hoffman forced a smile and said: "It's not dozens A gold mine was discovered here years ago. I thought the people here would become rich suddenly, so I opened a branch here. Unexpectedly... But in order to meet your urgent needs, I have ordered 80% of the entire factory to All employees have stopped working and are ready to complete your work Some parts of the airship have already started construction, and we only need to wait for you to confirm the style before we can start full-scale construction."
Bing Zhixie asked: "What of these four models? Which one flies the fastest? ”
Hoffman turned over two pages and said: "This is the Shark type, which is the fastest among the four. If you want speed, we can also modify it to achieve the best effect."
Bing Zhixie said: "Very good, that's it. In terms of modification, just follow the pursuit of speed. "
"No problem, but..." Hoffman said: "There is still a small problem. This shark style may be a little more expensive, and you are in a hurry. It's so urgent that we have to stop other construction periods to make yours. One thing, plus many materials we don’t have here yet, it will cost a lot of transportation fees, so..."
Bing Zhixie understood what he meant and said: "As long as it’s money The problem is not a problem.”
Hoffman immediately smiled: "Great, great, little brother, I can tell at a glance that you are a person who does big things. Don't worry, we will help you make the airship as soon as possible, even if the entire factory There is no need to hesitate to suspend all other construction periods.”
Bing Zhixie is by no means a person who likes to spend money freely, but he is also by no means a stingy person. He knew that it would take several months to travel from Guineland to the Eastern Continent, and with Alice's procrastination, it might even be longer. Spending money to buy time is something he is willing to do. With the airship, he no longer has to walk over mountains and ridges.
Bingzhixie said: "Can you take me to see your factory now? I want to confirm."
"Of course, why not?" Hoffman stood up and said: " Please, I will take you there”
