120 You can also cheat by repairing clocks
Li Nuo and Marjie looked at each other, and they received this task at the same time.
"Both of you, please tell us in detail about the matters between the Chamber of Commerce and the store, including the turnover and the specific currency unit. We need to know."
After Marger finished speaking, he leaned against the wall behind him. Li Nuo moved a chair and sat down unceremoniously.
Emily kowtowed lightly and asked Marco to pour three glasses of water, and then the two sisters began to describe things about the Chamber of Commerce.
In Covell's system, the Machinery Chamber of Commerce, the Trade Chamber of Commerce or the Construction Chamber of Commerce are all open to ordinary citizens, which is the so-called business model on the shore.
This kind of chamber of commerce management model is a centralized management of decentralized businesses.
If you want to open a machinery repair shop here, you must pass the certification from the Machinery Chamber of Commerce, check the shop environment and the skills of the shop owner, and obtain a business license after passing the approval. The officially licensed shop can open on the street openly.
If the official approval is not passed, I'm sorry to trouble you to close it down. If it is found that you opened it without permission, you will be fined until your great-grandchildren will pay it back.
Every month, the Chamber of Commerce will check the business quota of stores or enterprises, which depends on the scale of business. There is no unified standard.
Emily's mechanical repair shop needs to have a monthly net income of more than 1,000 marks.
Well, 1000 marks.
The mark is the currency unit of the kovir, and when converted to the gram of the Nilfgaardian Empire, the exchange rate is one to ten.
Well, for 1,000 marks, you can talk to the Night Demon all night long.
This is a family with a lower income in Keville. At least the financial situation of Emily's family in the summer capital is considered poor.
Let me digress here, since the income of the people of Kevir is so high, why don’t they earn enough money to become rich abroad?
There are some like this, but not many, because the economic situation in Kovil is so developed that even going to Novigrad is like going to the countryside. Moreover, the country is peaceful and the people are peaceful, the weather is good, the climate is good, the scenery is beautiful, and the country is unique in the world for the three good things.
Of course, there are also foreigners who want to come to Coville, but it is very difficult for foreigners to find jobs here.
Except for warlocks, ordinary people who want to enter any business, even if they are selling fruits, need to show their temporary residence permit.
Temporary residence permits are actually easy to obtain. You can rely on connections and spend money to buy them. One copy costs 2,000,000 grammes and is renewed every six months. If you have that spare money, you might as well be a chief at home.
Back to the topic.
It's a no-brainer that Emily's store is not running well. The female family members were kidnapped and left to be supported by Marco, a young bastard.
The main business of the mechanical repair shop is, simply put, to repair various large, medium and small mechanical equipment, clocks, three-wheeled vehicles, train steam equipment, hydraulic machinery and equipment, and more complex ones include military human exoskeletons, which are not for the disabled.
The weapons used by civilians are weapons prepared for war, but it is not the turn of small shops to make them, and the country is generally self-sufficient.
Then, Marco only knew how to repair watches and cars, and his skills were not good, which caused the business to become increasingly deserted.
"I need books, all books related to machinery. Mastering the maintenance methods of large mechanical equipment within two days is the first condition for recovery."
After Marjie made this request, except for Li Nuo, the remaining three people showed extremely distrustful expressions.
Even Emily can't trust Marger in this regard. Mastering it within two days means digesting all the contents of the book in half a day, unless you have a photographic memory.
"I have a photographic memory."
But Marger really said it.
Emily frowned and said to her brother: "Marco, take out all the mechanical repair and manufacturing books left by your father."
"Sister, how is it possible..."
"Go quickly."
Marco had no choice but to enter the back room of the workshop, moved out a stack of books about half a person's height, patted the dust on them, coughed twice and said: "These are basic maintenance knowledge. If you add the books that have not been taken out,
Even if you don’t have to sleep and eat, it will take you half a month to finish it.”
What he meant is that even if you have a photographic memory, it is impossible to read these books in a few days.
Marger didn't say much and directly picked up the "Basic Maintenance Decomposition and Construction" at the top.
The specialization of Mechanical Armor Expert has a very terrifying ability. As long as it is a book or copywriting related to mechanical manufacturing, it can be learned by reading.
This ability is locked based on level. For knowledge like repairing watches and cars, level one is enough.
If it is an instruction manual for making Arale, you can only read the words before reaching the level.
Now Marger was turning the pages of the book rapidly.
[Basic maintenance decomposition and structure, knowledge acquisition, 10%-20%-30%...]
His face was calm and his fingers were as fast as flying flowers.
"Sister...is he crazy?" Marco asked Emily in a low voice.
Emily said nothing because she also thought Marger was a little crazy.
[Basic maintenance decomposition and structure, knowledge acquisition, 90%-100%]
[You have mastered the knowledge of this book]
Marger put down the book and walked towards a small gilt bronze clock placed in the corner of the room.
This small clock has an extremely gorgeous appearance. The main body of the clock is made of walnut shell. The dial is made of blue steel hands. There are wooden gilt goddess busts and eagle decorations on both sides and top of the dial respectively. The hollow dial is decorated with gilt copper blacksmith and cherub reliefs.
, there are two white marble columns on each side connected to the top, and the base is decorated with imperial-style gilt copper reliefs.
But for such an expensive clock, the hands on the dial don't move as if time has stopped.
Marger stroked the outer shell of the clock and could even feel the resonance it expressed in the communication without words.
Then he quickly wrote the required materials on the paper, "Marco, get these things together."
Marco frowned tightly. This desk clock was ordered last month. Although the hands didn't move, he couldn't find the problem. Fortunately, the sponsor replaced it with another one, which delayed the delivery time.
next week.
Though thinking full of doubts, Marco quickly prepared all the materials.
Marger picked up the materials arranged on the table and used tools to skillfully dismantle the dial.
Any memorized knowledge can be directly applied to actual combat by mecha expert players. For ordinary household objects, only a slight inspection is needed to feed back problems to the brain for quick processing.
He removed a copper tube from the clock and compared it with the materials in his hand. Then he quickly stood up and dug out a book called "Basic Materials Practice" from the stack of books.
After another quick tour, all the knowledge points are transferred into the brain and the work starts again immediately.
After a while, he installed the dial and the hands started to move.
Under the surprised eyes of everyone, Marjie calmly walked to Marco and said: "The spring is loose, the escapement of the movement has a gap, and the gears are severely worn, causing deformation in the middle, but it is generally difficult to see it with the naked eye. The most important thing is
The base is slightly skewed, and even if it is reorganized, there is no way to ensure smooth movement of the hands."
After he finished speaking, he added: "Humph...it's all basic knowledge, your knowledge is not up to par."
Marco was so surprised that he couldn't open his mouth from ear to ear. All this was too sudden and shocking for him. Even if Marjie knew how to repair things, he must admit that he was a master.
"Can I stay?"
"Of course!" Marco nodded immediately, but his expression turned awkward, "That's the salary..."
The skills displayed by Marjie are definitely not something that can be satisfied with just one meal, which makes him a little embarrassed.
"Just take care of the meal."
"Okay!" Marco was overjoyed.
Emily lowered her head slightly towards Marger and said in a deep voice: "Thank you... you have helped me so much..."
Marjie just closed his eyes and shook his head gently, raising the corner of his mouth and smiling: "Everything is for the beautiful lady."
Li Nuo stared with dead eyes, feeling that the eldest brother's second degree was starting to show up again.
"I'll clean up the house for you right now." Marco walked into the back room enthusiastically and impatiently.
Suddenly Marger stopped him, "Do you have the drawings of the robotic arm?"
"Yes, it was left by my father before he was alive, but I couldn't understand it, so I put it away. You wait for me to look for it."
Marjie raised his eyebrows slightly at Li Nuo, indicating that the first step of the battle was successful. However, when the blueprints were brought, he realized that he could not understand the contents of the blueprints with his own knowledge and expertise level.
[Your expertise is too low to accept this content]
"It seems that it is better to keep one's feet on the ground than to long for the way to heaven." Marjie muttered to himself.
"Stop being a fool." Li Nuo interrupted him and said, "I have to ask you for something. We need some masks."
Through his experience in Novigrad, Li Nuo knew how stupid it was to expose his identity and appearance for no reason. The feeling of being a wanted criminal was like pouring mustard into his stomach at any time, which was a bit exciting.
It was inevitable that Coville would fall back on his old ways, so for the rest of the days, he decided to be shameless and cover up.
As for [Emil's Mask], it's too scary, and I'm worried about being caught as a rare species.
After a while, a pile of Halloween-style masks were placed on the table.
"That's all I have." Marco said, picking his nose.
Li Nuoxu picked up a pig's head with eyes and said, "If I really take this out, the next time we meet it may be on the dinner table."
After rummaging helplessly, I found a normal iron mask.
Li Nuo put it on. The mask covered the upper half of his face. He touched the iron surface of the mask.
Well, I have an extra arm, but I still need an eagle.
"By the way, Marjie and Punk, I suggest you both bring them with you, or make some disguises." Li Nuo warned.
"I'll just find time to make two," Marjie said.
Punk looked at Li Nuo and shrugged, "I don't think I need it. I don't have such a hobby."
Li Nuo smiled and said, "You don't have to wear a mask. For example, shave your hair so you can wear a fake headgear. Buy some women's clothes, and it's best to wear a pair of glasses."
"Why would I do this to myself!" Punk complained instantly.
Li Nuo was stunned for a moment, then clapped his hands in sudden realization and said: "It's true, you already have long hair, so you just buy women's clothes."
"Go to hell!"
Looking at this scene, Marco was a little confused and didn't understand why this group of people had to hide their appearance. The excitement just now because of the talented people joining had been diluted, and he looked at Emily with a little worry.
Emily saw what he was thinking, so she smiled and said softly: "Don't worry, they are all good people."
