Chapter 230 Chapter 228 Great Momentum

According to an early morning fortune-telling TV show, today is a good day to relocate. With a slight extension, it should also be suitable for rescuing Dr. Truth Booker from prison.

Excluding commercials, TV morning programs generally fall into three categories: weather forecast, news and fortune telling. The weather forecast is of little use. Even if the weather is sunny and windy, the rain in Peicheng will fall at any time without any warning. Anyway, I always bring an umbrella or a raincoat when I go out, so I don’t need to check the weather forecast at all.

The content in the news is often modified and often far from the actual situation, and Zhuang Xuteng is not willing to read it. The most he pays attention to is where serious crimes have occurred, where they have been blocked by the PCPD for inspection, and when Bentu ads will appear.

Relatively speaking, fortune-telling programs provide more accurate forecasts among the three categories and have always been the most popular provider of background sounds during breakfast for Peicheng people. It is said that fortune-telling programs are not nonsense. They are the prophetic spells of priests of several major churches in the Age of Gods. Although the gods have left, there is still some inertia in the world they shaped. At least in big cities, activities such as fortune-telling still retain some accuracy.

Zhuang Xuteng turned off the TV, filled Roubao's water basin and rice basin, touched the cute little girl who was getting slimier and slimier, put on his equipment and went out. He prepared two large bags of things for Truth, more than half of which were food and drinks, and the other was some changes of clothes and daily necessities. There is a TV in the room of the Shelter Hotel, and Zhuang Xuteng got him a radio - these should be enough.

After arriving at the hotel, closing the door, Zhuang Xuteng came to the 72 Stone Pillar Hall through meditation. The Lich Master knew what he was here to do, so he went straight to the point: "Truss Booker is currently in a coma, and his positioning beacon is about to be digested."

"Then bring him, and then I will take him away." Zhuang Xuteng asked: "Master, can you help me see if Truss Booker has been installed with a tracking device?"

"Spells can't escape my eyes, and I can't understand the shadow equipment." Master Lich shook his head and said: "If you feel unsafe, I can send him to you to kill, just like I did to that guy last time. The same thing a slutty bastard does.”

"That's not necessary. Truss is rich in knowledge and he is still useful." Zhuang Xuteng nodded to Master Lich and said, "Please teleport him over."

The whole process was very simple: the Lich Master dragged Dr. Truth Booker to the 72 Stone Pillar Hall based on the location of the sheepskin fragments, asked Zhuang Xuteng to carry him on his back, and then sent the two of them back to the shelter hotel room. During this period, Dr. Booker remained in a coma and had no idea what was happening.

This is just right, it saves me a few things to explain. Zhuang Xuteng put the doctor on the chair, brought a wet towel to wipe his face, opened his mouth and poured some Legion juice down. After a while, Bukele slowly woke up. He opened his eyes and saw an unfamiliar ceiling. He immediately jumped up as if he was electrocuted. He took the chair in his hand and looked at Zhuang Xuteng warily.

"You have been rescued from prison. They asked me to place you here. You are safe for now." Zhuang Xuteng sat on the bed and then motioned to the doctor to put down the stool in his hand. "Keep quiet and listen to me first. You have many things to pay attention to when living here."

"Where am I?" asked the doctor. "What time is it?"

"This is Peicheng. This is a secret residence used by mercenaries. You can understand it as a simple safe house. My code name is N, you can call me this. And your code name here is 9527, which is the same as the room The code is the same. You will use this code until your new identity is processed."

Dr. Booker nodded, then secretly pinched his face and thighs to confirm that it was not a dream.

"There is food, water, a change of clothes, and some daily necessities and entertainment supplies here for you. The medicine box is in the closet. You can simply treat the wounds on your body. There are instructions for using the safe house on the table at the door of the room. Look carefully at how to obtain supplies. Do not leave this room at this time until we have confirmed that you are not being traced and have arranged a new identity and accommodation for you."

"Okay, I will follow the arrangement." Dr. Bukele frowned and said, "Why don't I remember how I was rescued?"

"When I picked you up, you were in a coma until I woke you up just now. I didn't know anything else, I just wanted to collect money and arrange for you." Zhuang Xuteng continued to play the role of a shelter service provider. Said: "You don't need to worry about the cost of living here. In addition to two meals a day, you still have a credit limit of 10,000 euros. If you want to buy anything, just contact the front desk and it will be deducted from this total."

Dr. Booker asked, "How long do I need to live here? Is there an approximate amount of time?"

"At least half a year, at most a lifetime." Zhuang Xuteng made a smiley expression and said: "Save some money for 10,000 euros. After spending it all, you can only eat the same nutritious meal every day. It will be quite boring. It will make you The person who gave it to me asked me to convey a few words, and I have written them down, here..."

Zhuang Xuteng took out a piece of paper and read out the words he had written in advance: "You have been rescued, there will be no next time. The deceased needs your confession, there is paper and pen in the room. You are being searched for, pay attention to your own safety." You will be reassigned only after you prove that your value is greater than the possible trouble.”

Dr. Bukele turned to look at the stacks of manuscript papers on the table and asked, "What do you need me to write?"

"I don't know, and I don't care. I will take time to see you and take away what you wrote. There is a sealed bag in the table, don't let me know what you wrote. I don't want to get involved." Zhuang Xuteng used the Shadow Eye to check Dr. Booker and said, "There is only one thing left for my work here, which is to check the number and capabilities of the implants and shadow slave devices you installed. There are many shadow slave energy signals on you, and I want to roughly find out whether there are tracking devices."

"Tell me which shadow slaves..."

The doctor's words were rudely interrupted by Zhuang Xuteng: "I am here to check you, not to report to you. If you don't want to say it, forget it. Anyway, this is a temporary safe house to isolate risks. If you are tracked or captured, it will not affect the people who rescued you. As for me... If you don't cooperate, I can choose not to come depending on the risk situation."

"I just asked, and I didn't insist on that idea. The implants installed on my body include..."

Dr. Booker introduced the implants while pointing out their specific locations with his hands for Zhuang Xuteng to check. At present, the energy signals of each shadow can be matched, but this does not rule out the possibility of installing tracking devices inside the implant to merge the signals. Zhuang Xuteng told him this clearly and reiterated that this is only a temporary safe house and does not mean that he is out of danger.

After explaining the precautions here, Zhuang Xuteng got up and left without hesitation. After the door was closed, Dr. Bucker became alone again. He stood in the middle of the room for a while, and then began to check the facilities here, trying to find the non-existent camera. After turning the house upside down, he picked up the precautions at the door to check.

There will definitely be a stage in which Dr. Bucker will not believe that he has been rescued, but he has no way to prove or disprove this. Let's lock him up first and contact him further depending on the development of the situation. Zhuang Xuteng will not touch Bucker's account, nor will he show special concern. He believes that it is more beneficial to continue to maintain a sense of isolation, so that Dr. Bucker needs him more, rather than the other way around.

After paying the hotel fee for a year, plus an additional service fee of 10,000 euros, Zhuang Xuteng decided not to go there in the short term. Dr. Bukele is an adult, he should understand the risks outside - if he doesn't understand, there is no need for Zhuang Xuteng to save him. Especially in two days, the sheepskin fragments will be completely digested, and he won't be able to save him next time even if he wants to.

After arranging this matter, Zhuang Xuteng went to the operation base. Oh, now it should be called "training base". Ge Gongdao was not at home, and he left a note saying that he was staying at the modification factory temporarily to prevent his beloved car from being damaged by the stupid repairman. However, Zhuang Xuteng thought that he was more likely to prevent theft. Judging from the crazy degree of the scalpers in the sales department, these new cars are particularly popular on the black market, so there are probably many gangsters and even mercenaries who want to take advantage of them.

To be honest, the feel of gasoline engine vehicles is indeed good, the acceleration and deceleration are more sensitive, and the ability to accelerate continuously is also stronger. Zhuang Xuteng practiced "anti-skeleton attack" at the training base for a while, and felt that the training effect was poor without Dao Ge's cooperation, so his thoughts unconsciously turned to cars again. He suddenly thought of one thing: Boss Qian in the black market should have such a car, right?

He was not wrong. He once got a shotgun from Dexter, and then he could buy the same type of product from Boss Qian. Now that gasoline-powered vehicles are on the market, he has a new option here.

"You are also a shareholder of gasoline cars!" Zhuang Xuteng joked with a smile, and Boss Qian also smiled, obviously in a good mood. "Have you been to the site to see it? Sales are very hot, all the spot goods are sold out, and all the orders are full; scalpers are blocking the door, and customers are queuing up. This is the rhythm of making big money!"

"It is indeed very popular. Any product that represents advanced technology should be treated like this." Boss Qian said: "Did you receive the surprise your brother gave you? That motorcycle is good, right?"

"Very good, very enjoyable, and very beautiful."

"The performance is adjusted by your brother himself, and the appearance is selected by me, of course they are the best." Boss Qian gave a thumbs up and boasted, and then said: "Why, the motorcycle is enjoyable, so you want to change to a car?"

"Yes. Gasoline cars start quickly, which is a very useful feature for me. Although my current armored vehicle has dual engine pressurization and can be heated up by a small steam engine, it is not as good as gasoline cars."

"Pure electric vehicles actually start faster than gasoline vehicles... Although Baiqi Grocery Store does have some gasoline vehicles, I suggest you not to choose this way. Baiqi's cars are very unique in this world, and the appearance style is different. Do you need to attract attention?"

Zhuang Xuteng shook his head.

Boss Qian continued, "Also, if you want a car, you should go directly to your brother. My stuff is expensive. Um... don't get me wrong, the whole car is more expensive. Although the Bentu car uses a gasoline engine and opens a new technology tree, it does not open all the car technology trees. Baiqi's car has some more unique technologies, and the premium for this part is very scary."

"Huh... you have used this routine several times. I should just ask you directly for your suggestions, right?"

"Let's use your original car. I'll modify it for you, turning the combination of a steam engine and an electric motor into a combination of a gasoline engine and an electric motor. I'll recycle the old engine and give you some blood and save some money. The appearance of your armored vehicle I can’t see any changes, but I will run faster and have more power!”

Zhuang Xuteng smiled crookedly and said, "This is a good idea. How much does it cost to modify it?"

"You get what you pay for, and Baiqi Grocery Store is a good business." Boss Qian said: "If you agree to this plan, pay the design fee of two thousand euros first, and I will give you a detailed modification plan. It is not a set, but There are several sets, they have different focuses. You choose one to implement. The modification is very fast. Make the plan now and leave in four hours.”

"Huh... If it were before, I would definitely not be willing to spend two thousand euros to buy a plan. But who said that now we are all shareholders and bosses?" Zhuang Xuteng waved his hand and said, "Isn't it just two thousand euros? , you see I don’t even bother to bargain!”

"Hahaha, I feel like a rich man." Boss Qian clicked a few times in the air, then sat down and chatted with Zhuang Xuteng to pass the time while waiting for the plan. "I have estimated the costs and benefits of Bentu Automobile Company here. Since ready-made production lines are used in automobile manufacturing, they are all rented, and the rent is extremely cheap. The construction cost of the entire factory has been greatly reduced, and the sales are good enough. You can recover your costs and make a profit this year. If you don’t continue to invest and use it all as dividends, you will have an income of at least 500,000 to 600,000 yuan.”

"Hoho, this is really good." Zhuang Xuteng touched his chin and expressed satisfaction with this number. This is only the first year, and the sales are not calculated from January 1st. If the five or six hundred thousand is regarded as interest, the return on investment is already quite high.

"But from a production perspective, the actual equity dividend may be less, because your brother plans to expand production and build a special new production line. This is mainly to prevent problems before they happen, so that after the true equity status is discovered, the current production line cannot be rented or the current production line cannot be rented. Increase rents. Once manufacturing is interrupted and orders cannot be delivered, the vicious cycle will not be good. However, it is expected that there will be some revenue from technology licensing when new cars are launched, and some profits must be shared with large companies. There will be more support.”

"These business matters sound very complicated, but I don't know how to do it..." Zhuang Xuteng scratched his head and said, "Theoretically you can provide exactly the same car, but it's just more expensive, right?"

"Technically it is possible, but Baiqi Grocery Store is not allowed to do that. Baiqi is also a shareholder, and the sudden increase in cars, even if they are exactly the same, will disrupt the market. Besides, I don't want to destroy my own factory."

"Your white flag grocery store is quite interesting. I never thought there were stores across the world...but the store spans the world, but you can only stay in this black market. Isn't it a little uncomfortable?"

Boss Qian smiled mysteriously and did not answer.

"Okay, it must be related to some confidential information. I can completely understand. Is the design ready? I think no matter what service you provide here, it is always amazingly fast."

"Okay." Boss Qian stood up, opened the drawer behind him, and took out six pieces of paper. Each piece of paper is a plan, including design drawings, cost and functional details. Zhuang Xuteng took a closer look and found that the performance provided by each plan was better than that of the original car. They only made trade-offs in some special performances, which depended on his thoughts and needs.

Zhuang Xuteng calmed down and thought about his needs carefully. After the startup speed is satisfied, the biggest problem faced by the armored vehicle is the source of fuel. Currently, only Peicheng has a gas station, and you may have a wider range of operations. The solution that can load the most fuel and ensure the safety of the fuel becomes the first choice.

The second most important thing is camouflage. At least the closer the sound sounds to a steam engine, the better, or simply the smaller the sound, the better. In this regard, the solution of being able to drive the entire vehicle with an electric motor is very attractive, which is really stealth mode. Of course, due to the weight of the vehicle, the speed of the stealth mode cannot be increased, but the running speed of ordinary people should be enough.

The third point is safety. I’m not talking about driving safety here, but combat safety. The modified car must be bulletproof and maintain integrity and usability in a collision. This part involves a lot of modifications and is quite expensive. However, Zhuang Xuteng is not what he used to be. He is also a "rich boss" and is qualified to spend his money well and get the services he wants.

"Just these two! Plan No. 3 will take priority, plus No. 6 to combine." Zhuang Xuteng pointed to the two most expensive plans and said carelessly.
