In Dawn City, cars are both luxury goods and consumables.
Luxury goods are because the price of a car is not cheap and fuel is very expensive, so most people cannot afford it.
As for why they are consumables, firstly, due to limitations in materials and technology, the lifespan of car engines manufactured in Auroville City factories is generally very short. In addition, many people buy cars to go out of the city and into the wilderness. In the wilderness, the extreme climate
Terrifying monsters and even compatriots blocking the road will become car killers.
Second, Dawn City is not as peaceful as imagined. Just like the last time David raided the Bloody Hand Club, many people suffered disasters and many cars were bombed.
Not to mention that there is a kind of person in the city who makes a living by stealing engines...
Therefore, in the City of Dawn, there are never many cars on the market, so you need to order them in advance.
Of course, as Viscount Duke, you can buy existing cars, which is also one of the privileges of the nobility.
But unfortunately, in addition to the above reasons, something happened these days that made cars completely unavailable.
"Last month, a large-scale ruin appeared in the wilderness, which immediately attracted many forces. The results can be imagined: struggles between forces, attacks by mutant monsters, sneak attacks by wilderness predators, and the spread of black mist... Anyway,
It was a mess, many people died, many cars were destroyed, and even the big forces couldn't even get back the loot... Now as soon as new cars are produced in the city, they are immediately bought by them...
…”
Alyssa explained to Duke.
"Hey guys, it's so lively outside!"
Duke was a little speechless. He just wanted to buy a few transport trucks. Why was it so troublesome... It had been three days and Duke still hadn't bought a single vehicle.
After Alyssa inquired, he found out what happened.
Unexpectedly, the struggle between the big guys in the wilderness would also affect a small nobleman in his city, and he was helpless.
His aristocratic status, which he had tried so well in the past, no longer worked. After all, he was just a small viscount, and those who could be called powerful were at least on the same level as the Elvis family.
I even heard that even the city defense army was involved in the excavation of the ruins. This is the official department of Shuguang City!
It is conceivable that if he wants to buy a car, he will probably have to wait for a long time. After all, there are still many people in the wilderness waiting to use a car.
"If that doesn't work, let's try again. After all, Aunt Kathy is waiting over there..."
Duke had a headache.
Casey contacted him two days ago. A batch of genetic medicines had been produced. The quantity was not large. He wanted Duke's company to familiarize themselves with the road and practice their skills.
After all, the other party had good intentions, and Duke didn't want to delay it too long.
Although people here will not give bad reviews because the goods are late, Duke still has some professionalism since he has done this job.
He did have a car owned by the Elvis family, but the space in the car was too small and it couldn't accommodate several people, making it impossible to deliver goods.
After all, in Auroville City, all deliveries are under armed escort. Although he is known as the Elvis family, most people don't dare to take his idea, but if only two or three people deliver the goods, isn't it clear to tell others "I
"There are few people, come and rob me", there is no guarantee that someone will take the risk. After all, profit can make people lose their minds, and a bottle of genetic medicine is not cheap.
Early the next morning.
Duke and Alyssa came to the industrial area of ​​​​East City.
Most of Dongcheng's factories are in this area.
Since he couldn't buy the car in the store, Duke planned to follow the example of others and go directly to the factory to have his beard cut off.
But after arriving, Duke realized that he still underestimated others.
He originally thought that blocking the entrance of the factory was already a shameless thing, but he didn't expect those people to block outside the production line!
People no longer want cars, just buy engines!
As soon as the engine was assembled, it was bought by someone before it even had a chance to be tested.
What a beast!
Duke was speechless.
"Mr. Viscount Duke, there is nothing we can do! They are all members of the Clay family, and the leader is an earl. Please forgive me!"
A bald middle-aged man wearing a noble formal suit was explaining to Duke in a low voice. Although his tone was full of apologies, the joy in his eyes could not be concealed.
This man is a baron who runs his family's ancestral car manufacturing factory. Although their family's business was good in the past, it was only good. Unlike now, the earl personally comes to his factory to buy cars!
It would be very honorable to say this!
Not to mention that the orders he received this month were as much as half of last year.
"Why……"
Duke sighed.
Following the gaze of the bald baron, there was a group of tall and sturdy men not far away. In the middle of the crowd, there was a middle-aged man with a slightly dark skin and a short hair. He was sitting on a chair with his eyes closed and concentrating. There were people standing around him.
He didn't say anything and looked very impressive.
They are members of the Clay family. Unlike the medical profession that the Elvis family is good at, the Clay family is good at fighting.
If the Elvis family’s goal is to thoroughly study genetic medicine, then the Clay family’s goal is to thoroughly study their own genetic sequence!
As long as there is an awakened person in their family, there is a high probability that they will be a profession that has the genetic sequence of awakening innately and acquiredly, and is called a pole-breaker.
The Ultimate Breaker: Constantly breaking through the limits of the human body, with a strong body and amazing combat power!
Speaking of which, the Clay family and the Elvis family are still allies. After all, they both study genes, and they usually cooperate a lot.
But that's because he has a good relationship with the Elvis family and has nothing to do with Duke.
Most people probably don't know him.
Duke didn't even lick his face.
If this one doesn't work, just switch to another one. He still doesn't believe it. Today he has done it himself and he can't even buy a car!
After the baron politely sent Duke out, the middle-aged man on the chair in the Clay family opened his eyes.
"Is that an Elvis family?"
"Yes, sir, that person seems to be a child who accidentally wandered into the wilderness when he was young. He was found and brought home by them recently. It is said that something happened after he was brought back. I don't know the details. After all, we were still there at the time.
In the wilderness..."
"Oh, can you still find this? You're really lucky! But... that guy is a good prospect!"
The short-haired middle-aged man said with a smile.
"Hmm? The Lord has taken a fancy to him?"
Everyone around was stunned.
It's really rare to be noticed by this big shot.
"I can't say whether I like him or not, it's just that the feeling he gives me...how to put it, he is probably the type that is very suitable for fighting."
The middle-aged man explained that he felt that this kind of thing was a bit mysterious and he couldn't say it.
"But I heard that this young man does not seem to have inherited the Elvis family's genetic sequence..."
"If you're not an awakened person, that's fine. It's a pity..."
Chapter completed!
