"I need a blade, five meters long, thirty centimeters wide, with a spine five centimeters thick."
"Little brother, this isn't a knife shop, huh? Wait a minute, what did you say? How long?"
The boss, who was walking to his desk to get a cup of water, was a bit dumbfounded, his hand holding the cup suspended in mid-air, looking a bit comical.
"Five meters."
"Little brother, jokes aren't made like that."
This boss was quite amiable; he didn't explode on the spot. In the eyes of a normal person, this guy was clearly here to mess with him.
"Can you do it for 20,000? This is a 10,000 deposit. I want your best alloy." Zhang Wei directly pulled out a thick stack of cash.
No matter how well you talk, nothing is as convincing as cash.
"You... this..." The boss looked at the cash in front of him and was immediately speechless.
Wasn't he here to mess with him?
Why is he paying money?
"Can you do it?"
"We can, but we can't sharpen it here."
Making an alloy blade wasn't difficult; it didn't require much technical skill. The main thing was that the money being offered was a bit too much.
"As long as you can make it, no need to sharpen it. I also need a shield. You can think of it as a steel door. That's also 20,000, and here's the deposit for the steel door." Zhang Wei took out another 10,000 yuan.
"I'll tell you the specific requirements..."
The boss remained dumbfounded, saying nothing, only Zhang Wei was stating his requirements for the weapon and shield.
A few minutes later.
"How about it? Can it be done?"
"Yes."
"How many days will it take?"
"Probably about a week."
Zhang Wei frowned. In a week, the mechanical civilization would have already arrived, what use would it be then?
"No, that's too slow. I can only give you three days. I'll add more money." Zhang Wei took out another 20,000 yuan.
"In this business, no problem."
Earning 60,000 in three days, is there any better business than this?
"That's good then. If there are any problems, we'll contact you by phone." Zhang Wei left his phone number and also took the boss's business card.
By the time Zhang Wei left the shop, it was already dark.
After thinking for a moment, Zhang Wei turned to go home. He still had some things he needed to recall carefully, after all, these were events from ten years ago, and many memories were already hazy.
After returning home, Zhang Wei hurriedly ate something, then fell into contemplation.
"That's right, there was a very high-grade Origin Crystal that appeared in Chuan City when the mechs arrived. If I could get that Origin Crystal..."
"The location is..."
"Xinfeng Mountain, the peak. No one knows what grade or type of Origin Crystal it is."
"This Origin Crystal must be obtained."
As Zhang Wei was contemplating, his phone rang.
Zhang Wei saw the incoming call notification, and killing intent naturally erupted from his body, but he still answered the phone.
"Wei Zi, where are you?"
"Home." Zhang Wei's answer was very concise; he was trying to suppress his anger.
"What's the point of staying home? Come to the Golden Club, there are girls."
"No, you go have fun. Hanging up."
"Oh, come on? I'm telling you, my sister is coming to see me in two days, don't you want to..."
"Beep beep..."
Zhang Wei hung up the phone, his hands trembling uncontrollably.
The caller was Han Xu, whom he once considered a good brother, and also Han Xiao's younger brother.
He was also the one who ended Zhang Wei's life.
"She's coming, she's coming again. No, it's not time yet, I can't kill her."
"Calm down!"
Zhang Wei kept muttering to himself, trying to convince himself.
But his body continued to tremble uncontrollably.
Afterward, Zhang Wei blacklisted all of Han Xu's contact methods. He didn't dare to meet Han Xu, because he was really afraid he wouldn't be able to resist directly stabbing him.
He also didn't dare to meet Han Xiao, because he would really directly stab her...
Golden Club KTV.
Han Xu stared blankly at his phone.
"This damn guy, knows I want him to pay? Is he faking death with me? And he said he liked my sister? Introducing you to my ass, pfft!"
"No, he's acting so strange, he must be hiding something from me. I need to investigate him more."...
Three days later.
Zhang Wei's longed-for battle saber and shield were complete.
After personal inspection, Zhang Wei happily paid the remaining 20,000, then had the shop staff transport these two large items.
"Yes, it's this truck. Just install them."
Under Zhang Wei's direction, the two large items were loaded onto the back of the truck. The workers didn't say anything; in their eyes, Zhang Wei was a rich idiot.
Look at what's in the back of this truck?
If they weren't mistaken, that was a pile of mouse traps, right?
Even if there was a rat infestation at home, there wouldn't be a need for nearly a thousand mouse traps, would there?
Zhang Wei likewise said little. Although this battle saber and shield looked ugly, they would definitely be sufficient for the early stages.
After settling the battle saber and shield, Zhang Wei called for a ride.
"Master, to Xinfeng Mountain, can you do it?"
"No problem at all."
The driver was very happy. Of course, the reason for his happiness was that Zhang Wei had paid enough money.
After putting his small electric car in the back of the truck, he got into the driver's seat.
Half an hour later, the container truck entered Xinfeng Mountain.
However, Zhang Wei's container truck could only go halfway up the mountain because there was no road further ahead.
"Master, stop here."
"Just stop here?" The driver was a bit confused.
Xinfeng Mountain wasn't very high, nor was it a scenic area; there was hardly anyone there. He couldn't quite understand Zhang Wei's actions.
The driver had long since seen the items in the back of the truck.
In his understanding, this young man must have come here to catch rats.
However, this hobby was hard for the driver to accept.
"Yes, just here. Thanks."
"No problem, no trouble at all. I'll stop here and go. If you want to come back, you can call me directly."
"Okay."
The driver gave Zhang Wei a business card before leaving.
Zhang Wei casually put the business card aside, not even looking at it, because there was no need to.
Then, Zhang Wei looked up towards the peak of the mountain.
"It should be here. That Origin Crystal will fall on the peak. I hope there haven't been any changes."
Zhang Wei got out of the truck and began climbing the mountain. He wanted to check the situation at the peak first.
He also wanted to scout out a suitable place to catch rats.
After traversing the mountain, Zhang Wei's expression gradually became surprised.
It wasn't that there was anything extraordinary on the peak, but as he climbed up, Zhang Wei saw a large mining area.
"How could I forget about this?" Zhang Wei slapped his forehead.
Inside the mining area, dust filled the air, and the atmosphere was booming.
"Chuan City Mining Industry. The boss's son here is one of the future Top Ten Battle Gods of Dragon Country, the absolute boss within Chuan City."
"Can't compare. Their family has a massive enterprise. The ore dump trucks are under his name. His nascent body is even stronger than others' high-grade bodies."
Zhang Wei felt a bit sour.
It was just that he didn't have enough money, otherwise, he would definitely want a dump truck too, even if it was a second-hand one, that would be fine.
"Forget it, it's better not to interact with him in the early stages."
Actually, Zhang Wei could also seek out a dump truck. When mechs arrive, one person can only control one mech. No matter how many vehicles a person owns, they can only control one mech.
All the extra vehicles can be distributed by the owner themselves.
For example, Zhang Tao, the young master of Chuan City Mining Industry, can control one mech himself, and the usage rights of the other dump trucks can be given to his younger brothers.
If Zhang Wei were to humble himself and become his subordinate, it would certainly be possible to be assigned a mech.
However, from then on, Zhang Wei would have to obey Zhang Tao. Zhang Tao could revoke Zhang Wei's usage rights at any time.
This was definitely not what Zhang Wei wanted.
"That Origin Crystal that fell on this mountain peak, wasn't it obtained by Zhang Tao?"
"Mistake, mistake. I didn't intentionally steal your Origin Crystal. You can't cause me trouble later."
"Huh? No, even if he has a dump truck, who's going to cause trouble for whom is still uncertain. How about... I take him as my subordinate?"
Zhang Wei's eyes lit up slightly.
If he had a future Top Ten Battle God as his subordinate, it wouldn't be bad at all.
