Chapter 184 Deep Virtual Reality 11
"Cough cough—" Andrei glanced at the small plastic green plant on the balcony, confirmed that it was a gift when he installed the door last time, then jumped onto the balcony, snapped his fingers, and the hovering car immediately fell to the ground.
"Are you Sister Lin's new roommate?" Andrei took off his goggles and looked Xie Ning up and down curiously. She was slender and the gold-rimmed glasses added to her refined air. She looked like a little girl who couldn't even kill a chicken, completely different from Zhan Lin.
Xie Ning nodded slightly. Andrei was not burly; compared to the average man, he was rather thin. He had fair skin with a few freckles on his face, and his once vibrant red hair was dripping with water.
"Zhan Lin is still washing up, you can use this to wipe yourself first." Xie Ning handed over a new towel.
Andrei quickly waved his hand, "No, no need, it's alright." This girl is quite polite, Andrei thought to himself, there are very few polite and refined people around here.
Those elites wearing the mask of gentlemen only appear in clean and tidy buildings and lavish banquets.
A slightly flustered Andrei picked up the door next to him and started repairing it. Xie Ning stood by and watched curiously, asking questions from time to time. When talking about his expertise, Andrei was no longer nervous, as he could expand on many things from just one point.
Xie Ning silently compared it with the knowledge she already possessed and found that most of it was already known to her; the remaining small part was probably Andrei's own experience.
When Zhan Lin came out, she saw the two chatting happily, so she joined them. Andrei's expression was obviously much more relaxed. However, Zhan Lin had a mission to complete, and she had to leave after Xie Ning treated her wounds.
"Wait a minute, does your robotic arm need repair?" Xie Ning pointed to the cracked section of the metal casing.
"You can fix it?" Zhan Lin said, then immediately regretted it. "No, that's what you studied, of course you can fix it. Come on, help me fix it, then I won't have to go back to headquarters and rush to the mission location."
As a top student at Leston Academy, Xie Ning's technical skills must be quite good as well. She had seen Xie Ning's information; her academic performance at school was outstanding.
Xie Ning went back to her room to get her tools. She had observed the extent of the damage to Zhan Lin's prosthetic limb and silently calculated several times to make sure she could repair it before speaking up.
Andrei glanced at Xie Ning's retreating figure and asked in a low voice, "Sister Lin, does this Ms. Xie know how to repair prosthetics?"
Before Zhan Lin could speak, Andrei continued, "Then can I ask her to repair our prosthetics?" His voice rose several octaves, sounding quite excited, "That old Dulong on East Street is charging too much..."
Finally, under Zhan Lin's gaze, Andrei seemed rather guilty, and his voice lowered, "You know, I don't have much money... and Xiaolingdang and the others certainly can't afford that much. Ms. Xie's price just needs to be a little lower than Old Dulong's..."
Although it seems expensive, they might be able to scrape together enough money to repair one child first, and then save up to repair the others.
"You'll have to ask Xie Ning about that." Zhan Lin pointed to Xie Ning, who was standing at the door. She wouldn't make decisions for anyone, and naturally, she wouldn't agree to this for Xie Ning.
Although she felt sorry for Xiaolingdang and the others, she and Xie Ning were just roommates. Even if she and Xie Ning were very close, she couldn't do this. However, Andrei was still so naive. He didn't even know how good Xie Ning's skills were, but he wanted to ask him to help with the repairs.
Xie Ning certainly heard what Andrei said. The place wasn't soundproof, and the house was small, so even if Andrei lowered his voice, she could still hear most of it.
Xie Ning looked at Zhan Lin questioningly. For now, Zhan Lin was trustworthy.
Having encountered thugs before, Zhan Lin understood Xie Ning's cautiousness and nodded. She couldn't guarantee anything about others, but she could trust Andrei.
Xie Ning understood and said to Andrei, "I can give it a try, but I can't guarantee that I can fix it." It was just the right opportunity; she needed to practice, but of course, she had to be prepared.
"As for the repair price, I'll only take 70% of what that old Dulong repairman you mentioned would charge." Of course, she would still take the money; she herself was also struggling financially.
"Thank you! Thank you so much!"
Andrei was very excited. He seemed to have already seen the bright, star-like eyes of those little kids. Of course, he had never seen stars in real life, only in movies. They were beautiful, even though they were created using technology based on previous footage!
Happy thoughts flew around.
Xie Ning nodded slightly, then took off Zhan Lin's prosthetic limb and began to repair it carefully. She was indeed a little clumsy at first, but after a short while, her movements became very smooth, thanks to the residual muscle memory.
