MTL - Iron Armored City-Chapter 9 purely for bluffing

After a long time of trouble, the expensive aristocratic monocle in the hands of old man Zhou was mortgaged by Li Yinguang.

I opened my mouth several times, wanting to ask for it back, but after all, I didn't pull my face away.

With a dry smile, he said, "Look, Boss Zhou, three of the four z3-type melting furnaces on the 'Old Castle' have been scrapped, and the remaining one is on the verge of scrapping. The deck is severely damaged, the weapon system is missing, and the fuel warehouse is out of ammunition. , do you think there is any way to bring the dead back to life?"

"Yes, I have!"

Zhou Shanren squinted his eyes, smiled and nodded.

Li Yinguang's eyes lit up: "What way?"

"Sell!"

Those two simple words made Li Yinguang roll his eyes. No matter how broken the iron armored city is, it is also an iron armored city, a symbol of identity and rights.

"...how much is it worth?"

Zhou Shanren raised his hand with a smile, and gestured five fingers towards Li Yinguang.

"Can you sell five hundred thousand silver bulls?" Li Yinguang was a little surprised.

Zhou Shan said happily: "What are you thinking? The smelting furnace is scrapped, the weapon system is missing, and the deck has been smashed by others. Don't talk about 500,000 silver bulls. Go to the town and ask if anyone can buy 50,000 silver bulls." ?”

Li Yinguang laughed dryly, and said cheekily: "You mean you are willing to spend fifty thousand silver bulls to buy the 'Old Castle'?"

Zhou Shanren sneered and said with a sneer: "The old man is not out of his mind. I'll give you 50000 silver bulls to buy your rags. I'll give you five thousand silver bulls at most!"

"Five thousand silver bulls?"

"Don't sell and pull down!"

"A profiteer, a black-hearted shop is indeed a black-hearted shop!"

Li Yinguang cursed and turned around and walked out of the shop.

Zhou Shanren squinted his eyes and was not annoyed. He put on the nobleman's monocle, smiled at Li Yinguang's back and said, "I'll ask someone to dismantle the smelting furnace in a while!"

Li Yinguang really wanted to sternly say back to the old man that he would not sell, but he finally endured it.

After leaving the slums, they wandered around in other places in Mambach Town twice before leading people back to the pier 'Castle'.

There is not even a place to stay in Mambach Town, so I can only live in the "Castle" first. Then again, the town may not be safe in the Castle.

"How is Alma?"

Li Yinguang asked Goda, the housekeeper, that apart from the semi-mechanical transformation dog at his feet, there were Saipan and the repairman Buhe in the room.

Bucher is an old man in his fifties with a vicissitudes of life. His entire spine is made of machinery, and 70% of his bones are replaced with metal. He carries a small hydraulic chassis and scattered maintenance tools on his back all the year round.

He was a slave picked up by old Dick from the wilderness back then. He had a bit of a stutter, was usually taciturn and rarely communicated with others.

When fleeing last night, he was the only one among the three maintenance engineers who survived.

"The condition has stabilized, her left leg was amputated, but someone ordered a mechanical leg for her." Butler Goda said respectfully.

These days, eight out of ten people have been transformed, fitted with mechanical prosthetics, or other mechanical products, which is very common.

People who have not been mechanically transformed are in the minority.

"Well, try to do a better job and don't care too much about money!" Li Yinguang nodded.

He looked up at Saipan and asked, "How are your people doing? How many people choose to leave? Have all the relocation allowances been paid?"

As the leader of the fighters on the 'Castle', Saipan should be regarded as the second in command in the eyes of outsiders, but when Old Dick was alive, he only regarded him as a dog and didn't value him too much.

After all, as long as you have money, you can hire those "mechanical thugs" who don't take their lives seriously at any time. They are crazy, brutal, cheap and easy to use.

Saipan said in a deep voice: "Counting me, there are six people."

"Don't you want to leave the Castle?" Li Yinguang looked at him and asked.

Saipan shook his head: "I thought about it, but where can we go after leaving the Castle? I didn't treat you very much before, but now I feel that you are not bad!"

There are not many armored city lords like Li Yinguang who are willing to sacrifice their own interests, pay pensions to their subordinates, and promise to change to a salary system in the future.

Li Yinguang nodded: "Then stay!"

Before the Iron Armored City of the 'Old Castle' was confirmed to be sold, Li Yinguang also needed manpower. Even if they all left, they might have to hire another batch.

Said in a deep voice: "Since I chose to stay, I will be a family from now on. The 'Castle' belongs to me as well as yours. I am not old Dick, and I am not as stingy as he is. I will give you a lot. .But there is no rule without rules, and if you stay in the iron-clad city of 'The Castle' from now on, you must abide by my rules!"

Seeing that no one said anything, Li Yinguang continued: "In the future, there will be a clear division of labor in the Gubao. Combatants will still be under the management of Captain Saipan, ordinary personnel will be under the overall management of the housekeeper Goda, and technical personnel such as maintenance and dismantling will be managed by Buhe and you. Come on!"

Bu He was startled, raised his head that was looking down at his feet, looked at Li Yinguang with strange eyes, then nodded slightly, expressing that he had no objection.

Li Yinguang thought of something, and said: "When Erma recovers, all the maids and maids on the Castle will be under her management."

The butler Goda showed joy on his face: "Thank you, master!"

Li Yinguang shook his head: "Stop calling me master~www.novelbuddy.com~ You are no longer slaves, you will call me 'boss' from now on!"

"Yes, Master!"

The butler Goda bowed and nodded like a simple and honest man, but did not change his words.

Li Yinguang did not make corrections, but looked at Buhe and asked, "According to your experience, how long does it take for the damaged deck of the Castle to be repaired?"

Buhe frowned and said, "No materials!"

A clever woman can't cook without rice, without steel and other materials, there is no way to repair it, and the damaged area is too large.

Li Yinguang looked at him: "Cut from the thick part of the deck of the 'Ancient Castle', and then use the cut steel to repair the damaged deck, which can make the deck thinner, but from the outside, it should make people feel that we have made the 'Ancient Castle' Fort No.' repaired, can it be done?"

Looks like?

Buhe's eyes flickered, and he quickly understood Li Yinguang's thoughts, nodded and said: "Yes, yes, but he has no fighting power."

Li Yinguang smiled wryly and shook his head: "We've all come to this field, what fighting power do we need? It's enough to bluff people. At least stay in the town of Mambach so that people don't look down on us and let us be bullied."

In a short period of time, he didn't want the 'Castle' to leave the town of Mambach, but there was a difference between a damaged iron-clad city parked on the pier and an intact iron-clad city.

"Fix the damaged deck first. At least from the outside, it looks intact. I will leave Buhe to you. If you need anything, you can ask Captain Saipan and Steward Goda to help!" Li Yinguang ordered.

Bucher nodded in a muffled voice. If he just pasted up the 'Castle' from the outside with thin steel plates for appearance, he could handle it.
