Chapter 126 Mechanic
Ji Xun has always heard of "Hong Lou" before.
This is not only the largest gang in Innocence City, but also the name of the most upscale comprehensive entertainment complex in the city.
No. 1 Downing Street is not in Downing Street, but two blocks next door. There is a splendid building complex here.
This is a steampunk style Chinese building.
Cinnabar-red walls, green copper tiles, carved beams and painted roofs, cornices, and two large stone lions as tall as one person at the door, as well as several green pine trees that grow happily to attract wealth. There are several tall chimneys behind the house with white smoke belching out, and various pipes are hidden in the darkness of the walls.
Here are the best and most beautiful custom girls in Innocence City, but the prices are correspondingly high. Usually only wealthy high-level hunters and businessmen like to get together.
Ji Xun has never been here before, because this is Honglou's base camp, and he doesn't want to cause trouble.
Dong Qi parked the car on the street, and immediately seven or eight gang members wearing black suits and polished leather shoes came over, opened the door, and shouted respectfully: "Miss!"
The voice is very confident, and the strength seems not to be weak.
The gang members here are more like the field agents of Golden Oak Company, and there is no trace of gangster habits at all.
It feels very high-end at first glance.
Dong Qi nodded, put his arm around Ji Xun's shoulders, and had an expression on his face: "Let's go, go in first."
Ji Xun raised his eyebrows and glanced.
After walking across the covered bridge, there were two rows of beautiful and graceful girls at the door. Looking at Dong Qi, he greeted her sweetly: "Miss."
A man with a mustache who looked like a butler stood in the lead, "Miss, you are back."
Dong Qi asked: "Is the old man here?"
The mustache responded: " Twenty minutes ago, the president just left to negotiate with the Brotherhood."
"Oh."
Dong Qi glanced at Ji Xun as he spoke. Yitiao: "The old man is not here now. But it just so happens that I will take you to experience our Honglou girl first."
Ji Xun shrugged.
Dong Qi led him all the way in.
She also saw that Ji Xun came to Honglou for the first time, and introduced him all the way like a qualified tour guide.
After entering the door, you will see a luxurious classical decoration style.
There are wooden door rails and various exquisite screens. The space inside is very large, and there are obviously many people there, but because of the clever layout, guests rarely encounter each other.
All that can be seen is a variety of capable but sexy waitresses in work attire walking back and forth.
Hong Tower has a total of thirteen floors.
The first and second floors are large bathrooms.
The third and fourth floors are VIP baths.
The fifth and sixth floors are nightclubs and Fengyue Tavern.
The seventh, eighth and ninth floors are the casino.
Above the tenth floor are the private places of the Honglou gang bigwigs.
Ji Xun was also amazed when he heard that there were thousands of staff in Honglou.
Along the way, I saw ten or twenty female staff members,
It was as if all the beautiful women in Innocence City had gathered here.
Every appearance is considered top-notch.
Cute lolita, girl next door, housewife, preppy girl, office lady, noble lady, slave girl, sexy huntress. There are even various fox girls and cat girls with animalistic characteristics.
Ji Xun also learned that the [Four of Spades-Beast Walker] professional card can be used in this way.
No fighting power is required, as long as you can transform.
Can satisfy some special hobbies of customers.
And unlike other custom shops, the girls here don't have much custom atmosphere. They are more like a comprehensive office building with various role-playing staff.
This gameplay is very high-end.
Dong Qi walked all the way and introduced: "You can try any one you like. From the moment we entered the door, there are only women with work badges in Honglou, no matter who they are, as long as you want , you can try it all."
As she said that, she glanced at Ji Xun beside her and raised her eyebrows: "How about it, are you interested in it?"
Ji Xun looked. After taking a look, it was indeed pretty good.
But I don’t think it’s a good choice to come to Honglou and waste time and opportunity on physical pleasure.
Problems that can be solved with money are not worth wasting favors on.
If you haven’t met Dong Jiuye, you can try something else.
He thought about it and said: "I remember that Miss Dong Qi likes to collect various ancient books? It happens that I also have some research on ancient books. If possible, I would like to take a look."
Dong Qi thought To return the favor, Ji Xun also felt that it would be better to have a clean relationship.
Then the benefits are maximized.
Innocence City is the only city connected to the Old Continent. As the largest gang, Honglou must have collected some rare collections, techniques, and secret techniques.
These things are much more valuable than any girl.
What's more, he had also heard some legends about Hong Tower from intelligence dealers before. For example, Dong Jiuye, as the top master of Hong Tower, practiced an invulnerable horizontal training secret method. It was said that the grade was very high.
Dong Qi was a little surprised when he heard these unintelligible words. He did not shy away from this topic at all and said: "Are you not interested in women?"
Ji Xun smiled and asked, "What do you think?"
Dong Qixie glanced at him and thought, "I think you should be quite normal."
Ji Xun Smiling, "Of course."
It's not that he has no interest in women, it's just that he can completely restrain his low-level desires.
If he couldn't control this, he wouldn't be able to control his other selves either, and he would have gone crazy.
Dong Qi also had an indifferent look on his face. He thought of something and became very excited: "Okay! Let's go, I'll take you to see my mechanical studio."
With that said, the two of them walked up Got the lift.
The ladder box goes all the way down and up.
I was originally going to the eleventh floor, but when I reached the tenth floor, the elevator stopped with a clang.
As soon as the door opened, a fat man in a white suit rushed over crying: "Oh, Brother Qi, it's great that you're okay! I just heard that something happened to you, but it made me anxious. Broken.”
Although the expression is a bit exaggerated, it doesn't look fake.
Ji Xun has met, this is the owner of Da Iwan's shop, his name seems to be Song Can.
The fat man burst into tears and was about to rush into the elevator to continue talking.
Dong Qi stopped him and kept pressing the door button: "Fat man, you can play by yourself first. I have friends with me."
"Oh."
Song Can heard that she had a friend, and then she looked at Ji Xun beside her, with a look of calm scrutiny in her small eyes.
After the elevator door closed, he realized something and was very surprised: Brother Qi took a strange man to the eleventh floor?
In the elevator.
Dong Qi smiled and shrugged, and added: "This fat man is Big Ivan's boss, and his father is an old friend of mine. Apart from being afraid of death, he is a pretty good person. Especially in business, he is very good. There are some means. If you need any extraordinary materials in the future, you can go to him directly."
Ji Xun raised his eyebrows when he heard this.
Sure enough, people who reach a certain level of status have a high circle around them.
If we really have this kind of relationship, it will be much more convenient to know what rare materials we need in the future.
Soon, we arrived at the eleventh floor.
There are no outsiders here anymore.
Getting off the elevator is like entering a bank vault.
Dong Qi walked behind an oil painting and pressed the code on the combination lock.
At this time, an alloy secret door slowly opened.
Dong Qi greeted: "Come in. This is my mechanical studio. It's just a little messy."
Ji Xun originally thought it was a study similar to a small studio.
But when I walked in, my eyes immediately stiffened.
A machinery workshop covering an area of over a thousand square meters comes into view.
In the workshop, various mechanical tools are hung on the walls, and all kinds of military-grade instruments and lathes are available. There are also special areas for artillery and firearms workbench, locomotive modification area, and power boiler dismantling and manufacturing. Taiwan
The most eye-catching thing is the mechanical crane in the center of the room. There is even a semi-finished heavy-duty mecha hanging on it!
Just looking at the layout makes people think that this must be a very professional mechanic's workshop.
Ji Xun was surprised: "Is this your private workshop?"
Dong Qi: "Yeah. Just take a look."
And on the other glass wall, Ji Xun saw dozens of drawings of various mechanical accessories at a glance.
With just one glance, he recognized that the mecha designed on this drawing was the one Dong Qi wore?
Seeing this, Ji Xun couldn't help but ask: "Miss Dong Qi, did you design the armor on your body by yourself?"
Dong Qi seemed to be happy to share himself with others. He nodded: "Yes. Most of the design and mechanical parts are made by myself. Only some high-precision parts require equipment from large factories, and they have not been able to be produced before. Fortunately, the fat man Song Can has helped a lot. Recently. It just took shape.”
"."
When Ji Xun heard this, his eyes immediately changed.
He previously thought that Dong Qi was just a hobbyist who could only use mechanical equipment.
After all, gangsters give people the impression that they are reckless men who only know how to fight and kill, and have nothing to do with scientific research.
I didn’t expect that this person was actually the developer?
This is really a mistake.
A gangster lady is actually a very powerful mechanic?
Ji Xun looked at the exquisite hand-drawn drawings and thought about the functions of the previous armor. He couldn't help but admired: "Miss Dong Qi is so amazing."
He is a time traveler. Those who know that the upper limit of technology is infinite.
Seeing these drawings, he seemed to see a genius mechanical girl spending countless days and nights in this workshop drawing, manufacturing, and then creating that set of armor.
At Dong Qi's age, he is already very good at this level.
It is not an exaggeration to say he is a genius.
Dong Qi also heard that the tone of Ji Xun's praise was very different.
Unlike many old antique spell card masters, they always feel that the ceiling of the machine is too low and cannot be used on the table.
This guy admired from the bottom of his heart.
But it's one thing to be satisfied that someone can understand her design. Dong Qi also pursed his lips and said: "Also. Don't call me 'Miss Dong Qi'. It sounds weird."
Ji Xun: "What's that called?"
Dong Qi thought about it and realized there was nothing better: "Forget it, it's up to you."
Ji Xun didn't care about this detail, and pointed out Looking at the heavy-duty mecha in the room that was full of black technology, he asked: "What is that?"
If you guessed the functions of those accessories correctly, none of the mechas on the market are as good as this one.
Speaking of his own work, Dong Qi's eyes sparkled, and he said with a little pride: "That is the heavy-duty mecha 'Thunder God Generation' designed as an object. It is a concept product according to my vision. If it can be fully realized, it can even be used for high-end The curse card master poses a fatal threat."
After a pause, she said with a slight regret: "The design inspiration and many technical supports of this mecha come from ancient mechanical literature and classics. The classics and blueprints cannot be translated. Issues such as the power of the power boiler, armor strength, and weapon systems are poorly translated. In short, this heavy-duty mecha has many flaws and cannot be used in actual combat yet. ."
"That's it."
Ji Xun looked at the mecha, his eyes slightly narrowed.
The steam black technology in this world is not designed from scratch, but it was very powerful in ancient times.
It is said that the goblin technology in the mythical age has the combat power to compete with the dragon.
Even the Talon Dynasty, which dates back three thousand years, had much better mechanical technology than it does now.
However, even so, Ji Xun felt that Dong Qi was already very powerful.
This reminded him of the first time they met at "Bensen Ancient Books Shop". At that time, Dong Qi went to look for ancient books.
I thought it was a collection, but it turned out that she wanted to use it for her own study.
Dong Qi didn't say much, thinking that he understood him very well, and asked casually: "Are you also interested in machinery?"
Without waiting for Ji Xun's response, she pointed to the piles of various drawings and The reference room of ancient books, then said: "Here are the various ancient classics I collected. You can read what you want, you're welcome. Tell me what you need."
Although she didn't think Ji Xun Can understand.
But it is rare to find someone who can share his collection.
Ji Xun was not polite and walked over.
As soon as the lights were turned on, the place was densely packed with originals and rubbings of various ancient documents and archives, and the bookshelves were also full of big books related to machinery.
“So many”
Ji Xun was slightly surprised when he saw it.
There is a whole room full of ancient documents, many of which are antique original or orphan versions of the classics.
Not even the top nobles have collections of these things.
They are all treasures.
Ji Xun’s original idea was to take a look at Dong Qi’s collection first, but he thought it probably wouldn’t be much.
Then let’s see if we can make some side-steps and ask about other things, such as other classics collected by Hong Lou.
However, after seeing so many ancient classics, he had no choice but to go elsewhere. His idea at the moment was to finish reading them first.
Dong Qi sorted out the drawings on his workbench and said: "I like to stay here most of the time. Sometimes I stay here for several days."
After saying that, she looked at Ji Xun again to confirm: "Are you really interested in these ancient books? How about we go downstairs and I can help you arrange some beauties?"
Ji Xun, of course He was interested in ancient books, "That's it."
Dong Qi didn't say anything more, and said: "Then you can just read it. If you need anything, call me. I just want to repair my phone." A. There was a little problem in the battle before."
As she said that, she walked out and tinkered with the tools.
Ji Xun also sat on the chair, looking through the ancient secret books that had been sorted out.
Most of them are mechanical-related classics, but some are not.
No matter what it was, Ji Xun was fascinated by it.
Many classics and drawings have notes written in Xiujuan's font. Ji Xun looked at them, occasionally frowning, and would modify them if he couldn't help himself.
After all, he is now proficient in Talungu. He easily found that many of the markings on these drawings were wrong, so he marked them.
The two of them are separated by a wall of glass.
One is tinkering with machinery outside, and the other is reading inside.
Dong Qi is also a little confused. Is anyone really interested in these boring ancient secrets?
Before she came, she had doubts about Ji Xun’s motives.
But she didn’t want to speculate on the bad side of the benefactor who had saved her several times.
Stealing your own mecha technology?
Dong Qi felt that if he really wanted it, just ask and give it to him.
There is no way to repay the kindness of saving a life.
As long as she can give her materially, she doesn’t mind anything. On the contrary, I feel that it is easiest to repay with material things.
But in the current situation, this Ji Xun is not looking at the drawings, but is really interested in those ancient classics.
This made Dong Qi very confused.
So while tinkering with the mecha, she glanced at the archives room from time to time.
Seeing that Ji Xun's concentration didn't look like he was pretending, Dong Qi was even more confused.
Looking at the cover, the book in the guy's hand was a fragment of a mechanical classic from the Talon era.
I can’t understand it myself, but can he?
However, what surprised Dong Qi even more was what came next.
Looking at it, she actually saw Ji Xun revising his notes?
Dong Qi could no longer hold back his doubts. He stuck his head out from the glass and asked, "Can you understand these Talun ancient books?"
Ji Xun looked at her. At a glance, he didn't say enough: "Yeah. I can barely understand it."
Dong Qi couldn't believe it and said in surprise: "Are you a polymath?"
You must know that the Talon Dynasty was a civilization that collapsed three thousand years ago, and the written inheritance has long been discontinued.
I searched all over the Innocence City before but could not find anyone who was proficient in Talungu.
Now this person who is about the same age as me actually says he can understand?
Aren’t you a werewolf?
Besides, he is a doctor.
Why is he a polymath now?
“No.”
Ji Xun knew what she was doubting and said with a smile: “I just like to study ancient books, so I understand some ancient texts.”
Listen At these words, Dong Qi's eyes suddenly lit up.
Are you kidding me?
She hurriedly walked in, looked at her revised notes, and asked, "Do you really understand?"
Ji Xun didn't explain much, just pointed out one point casually: "This passage is translated It doesn't mean 'forging and shaping', but 'extraction of characteristics after heat treatment of extraordinary materials'. If I read it correctly, the drawing shows this extraction step."
"There is also this sentence in the gunpowder formula. It cannot be directly translated as 'the fire dragon burns the castle and emits white smoke'. This is an encrypted metaphor, which should refer to the process of heating and volatilization reaction of materials, and the volatiles need to be extracted."
"There is another drawing on your drawing. The entry marked with a question mark should be 'correction of bending'."
"Well, this is not a mechanical drawing, it is an explanation of the magic matrix."
"."
Ji Xun explained several errors he saw one after another.
The light in Dong Qi’s black eyes is getting brighter and brighter!
She racked her brains to interpret these drawings without even guessing.
Now that I hear it, it turns out that someone can really translate it accurately?
After all, they were all ancient drawings compiled by herself, so she could naturally tell whether they were correct or not.
She looked at Ji Xun again, her eyes were different now: This guy really understands the ancient Tarung language!
It’s not just general understanding, but proficiency!
Dong Qi just wanted to repay his kindness before, so he brought Ji Xun to his machinery workshop, which had never been visited by outsiders.
But at this moment, her thoughts were different.
As if seeing some peerless treasure, Dong Qi breathed with excitement.
If she could understand Talungu, then these information and drawings would no longer be incomprehensible secrets in her eyes.
It is very likely that the problems on your mecha will be solved;
Many high-precision ancient machines that cannot be manufactured can also be manufactured
Dong Qi She is not the kind of reserved girl. She immediately said, "Can you teach me?"
She did not hide her enthusiasm for mechanical knowledge at all, and said bluntly: "It's not in vain! You just need to teach me how to interpret these drawings. As long as I can meet the conditions, I will promise you!"
Ji Xunting He looked at it, did not refuse, and chuckled: "I'm not proficient. I just have a little understanding."
He originally didn't want to waste more words.
But just now I saw that Dong Qi was a mechanic who could design his own mecha, so I had some other ideas in my mind.
This gangster lady’s mechanical talent is evident to the naked eye.
If this talent is not used, it would be a waste.
After reading the contents of these notes, it was obvious that Dong Qi was limited by text interpretation and failed to understand many of the subtleties of ancient machinery.
That’s why he said a few more words.
A little help by yourself may be a big help that affects her life.
After all, without opportunity, many people will never learn Talungu in their entire lives.
And it’s not a big deal to translate it. If you have many favors, you can also ask for other things.
Dong Qi looked happy when Ji Xun refused.
She dragged a chair in from outside and stood right next to Ji Xun. She shouted with great interest: "Ah, why did I just meet you now! I wish I had known each other earlier. ”
This attitude seems to be more worthy of gratitude than saving her life.
As Ji Xun listened, a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
How does this look like the cool and sassy gangster lady from before?
In the face of mechanical knowledge, she is also a fanatical mechanic who loves to learn.
Dong Qi is eager to learn, and Ji Xun is not shy about saying a few words.
The two started chatting in the archives room.
Not long after, a gentle and steady female voice sounded outside the door: "Qiqi, can I come in?"
Upon hearing this, Dong Qi did not rush to answer, but glanced at Ji Xun aside, as if to ask again: OK?
After all, she knew that Ji Xun's identity was sensitive and she didn't make the decision without authorization.
Ji Xun also felt that this mutually respectful relationship was very pleasant, so he didn't mind and nodded.
Dong Qi then responded: "Okay."
As she said that, she explained: "It's Aunt Qin. Don't worry, she is very nice."
Ji Xun heard it and guessed who it was.
This is the eleventh floor. If you can get up there, you must be on the top floor of Hong Tower.
The boss of Honglou is Dong Jiuye, and there is also a vice president named Qin Rushi.
It is said to be "the most beautiful woman in Innocence City".
The hunters mentioned her, and they all said she was beautiful.
But very few people have actually seen her true appearance.
Ji Xun is also curious.
But he cares more about other things.
There are many beautiful women in Innocence City. They may be the vice-president of the first gang, but they are definitely not a beauty.
The strength is definitely very strong.
But there was no record of Qin Ruzhi taking part in a battle among the intelligence merchants.
Ji Xun thought of something and quietly put on the clown mask.
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard footsteps coming from outside the door.
Looking again, a beautiful woman wearing a black cheongsam and her hair tied high walked in.
The figure is graceful, round and straight, and just right plump.
The cheongsam has high slits, almost reaching the roots of the legs. When she steps in, her long, fair and beautiful legs are looming.
If you don’t look at the face, your figure can already be said to be top-notch.
And his face is impeccable, charming and mature.
It makes people’s eyes seem to sink in.
Even when Ji Xun saw it, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. She is indeed the most beautiful woman in Sinless City.
But after just one glance, he also restrained his eyes.
Qin Rushi walked in, and the sparkle in his eyes had subsided.
Looking at the blood stains on Dong Qiqi's body, she frowned slightly and said with concern: "Qiqi, I heard that you are injured? Do you want to see a doctor?"
Dong Qidao: " There’s no big problem.”
As she said that, she introduced directly: “Aunt Qin, this is Ji Xun, he saved my life before.”
Qin Rushi glanced at her beautiful eyes, smiled gently, and said in a sincere tone: "This girl Qiqi has caused trouble for you."
Ji Xun stood up in a gentlemanly manner, neither humble nor overbearing: "President Qin is too polite. "It's just a little effort."
Qin Ru was a little surprised when she looked at the chairs next to each other, but also smiled slightly: "If you don't mind, just like Qiqi, call me 'Aunt Qin'. That’s good.”
Ji Xun nodded politely and didn’t say much.
Qin Rushi asked again: "I heard some news from people in the gang. What happened?"
"Just before I received news that Da Iwan's goods had been robbed, I went to provide reinforcements."
Dong Qi gave a rough outline of the incident.
When he was tied up in the car, he glanced at Ji Xun again and saw that he didn't mind, so he said: "Then Mr. Ji Xun rescued me and we discovered that there was a third person. People from all three parties, fortunately Mr. Ji Xun killed the cursed witch"
"."
Qin Ru listened carefully, his expression did not change during the whole process, just this Qi-nurturing skill alone was enough. It's not something ordinary people can compare to.
She also did not ask for any details that Dong Qiqi deliberately avoided.
For example, how to kill people, what means, these are issues that can easily reveal your identity.
After listening, she just thought for a moment and said solemnly: "This matter is very involved. I have to deal with it now."
Qin Ru was not prepared to stay longer and looked at Ji Xun, smiled softly: "You are our Qiqi's savior, and I will not treat you as an outsider. I will treat you well after I am done with my work."
As she said that, she changed her mind again He said to Dong Qiqi: "Qiqi, just greet Ji Xun. I will call the doctor to look at you later."
Dong Qi nodded.
"Then I'll go down first."
Qin Ruzi smiled lightly, turned around gracefully, and left the workshop.
Ji Xun looked at the graceful back, and the cautiousness in his eyes also restrained.
He knew very well that just now Qin Ru said that he came up to ask about the situation and to see more of himself as an outsider.
"Very strong"
Ji Xun sighed inwardly.
Although I didn't see Qin Rushi's career sequence throughout the whole process.
But just because I didn’t understand it, I knew that this person was definitely very strong.
But if you want to know the origin of Atai's breathing method, the top management of Honglou must have some contact.
Dong Qi looked at him for a moment longer and joked: "Aunt Qin is pretty, isn't she?"
Ji Xun was not one to tell lies, so he admitted generously, "Yeah."
Hearing this, Dong Qi was not surprised at all. The man did not disapprove of Aunt Qin's good looks.
She even said without hesitation: "Ah, that's troublesome. If you fall in love with any woman in Honglou, I can help you find a way. But not Aunt Qin. Of course, if she Think you can, that’s okay.”
Ji Xun chuckled as he listened.
Where is this and that?
He is not interested in dwelling on this topic.
Instead, he asked more interestedly: "Is your name 'Dong Qiqi'?"
"Yes."
Dong Qi also said: "My mother took it from me. But I think it is too weak. The old man in the family is also called 'Dong Jiu', so I am called 'Dong Qi'."
Ji Xun was also stunned when he heard this.
Dong Qi didn't waste time talking about that. She looked at the notes on the table where she had just written two articles and said, "Ah, shall we continue?"
Ji Xun also nodded.
The two sat back on their chairs and continued to study the ancient files and drawings.
"If you are sleepy, can I arrange some pretty girls to help you relieve your fatigue?"
"Why do I think you know everything?"
"How about tonight? Are you living here?"
"Ah, you are so good, you know some writings from before the Tarun Dynasty."
"."
Time flies.
Ji Xun and Dong Qi stayed in the workshop for a whole night.
The knowledge that seems boring to others is very attractive to the two of them.
Ji Xun meditated while looking through the ancient documents, which was no different than usual.
I didn’t read much about mechanical related knowledge, but focused on some classics related to ancient spell card masters.
Dong Qi just didn't know the ancient Talun text. After she was able to translate it, she became immersed in the mysteries of various machines.
The two of them got along in a tacit understanding in the archives room, immersed in the ocean of knowledge.
Exchange a few words occasionally.
Although they didn’t speak much,
the two gradually became familiar with each other.
Sometimes, if your temper is not to your liking, you will know after more communication.
We have a good impression of each other.
Ji Xun’s original plan was to take a look at the classics here, and Master Dong Jiu should be back the next day.
You can ask about breathing techniques then.
By the way, he thought there might be some surprise rewards.
However, before Dong Jiuye came back, an uninvited guest came to Honglou.
At noon the next day, someone shouted from the brass communication pipe: "Brother Qi, there is a very troublesome gambler in the casino on the eighth floor. Do you want to come down and take a look?"
