Old Wu brought Chen Ming to a seemingly ordinary bar in the core city of the space station.

The feeling Chen Ming got here was similar to the bar atmosphere in his previous life.

Chen Ming had come here with his colleagues when he was working before, but he never liked it, and it’s the same now.

However, Chen Mingming did not show it on his face and continued to follow Lao Wu into the bar and came to the counter.

Old Wu chatted with the bartender very familiarly, ordered a glass of wine, handed the menu next to him to Chen Ming and said, "It's my treat, drink as much as you want."

"So generous? But I'm not interested in wine, just drink it."

Chen Ming did not accept Lao Wu's kindness, and he had no intention of taking off his helmet for the time being.

After all, the Iron Ore doesn't even have a hyperspace channel system installed yet. If his identity is discovered, he may not be able to escape even if he wants to.

Old Wu shrugged and did not force Chen Ming to drink. However, he quickly drank a few glasses of wine and his face gradually turned red.

Chen Ming took advantage of the fact that Old Wu was not completely drunk yet and asked directly: "Old Wu, do you know how to get the identification code of the spacecraft?"

"Identification code? It's easy. Anyone in your repair shop can change it for you. It only costs a little money. It's quite cheap."

Chen Ming frowned when he heard Old Wu's casual answer and asked, "Won't this be discovered?"

"No, we have a cooperation with a shipyard. They gave us a batch of usable identification codes in advance. We just stick them on according to the style, and then import the identity of the ship owner. No one will check it carefully unless there is any trouble."

"Is it that simple?"

"It's that simple, how complicated do you want it to be?"

"All right."

Chen Ming thought that the identification code, which has very important identity and spacecraft identification functions, would be as difficult to deal with as the official identity code, but it turned out to be so casual.

He silently noted down the process that Old Wu had said, and continued, "One more thing. Do you know what this thing is used for?"

Chen Ming took out his terminal and pulled up a photo.

Photo of a Mechanoid chip.

Chen Ming had not mentioned this thing during his two previous sales, but had kept it with him, mainly to see if there was any information on the subject.

If the data inside the chip can be extracted, the benefits to me will definitely be much greater than selling it directly.

But unfortunately, Chen Ming hasn't been able to find any useful information in the past two days, so he might as well ask Old Wu now.

After taking a few glances and recognizing what it was, Old Wu said, "I remember that this thing didn't seem to have any use."

"The thinking logic of mechanical life is different from that of humans. Their chips have not been deciphered yet. Even if you get the chip, it is of no value. Only Yu Hui might want it."

Old Wu suddenly smiled and said, "It's just a joke, but the material itself is quite good. You should be able to make a small fortune if you dismantle it and sell it."

Chen Ming shook his head with some regret, put away the terminal and said, "Okay, that's it."

Anyway, this chip is impossible to sell. I don’t lack the materials for the chip for the time being, nor do I lack the money from selling the materials.

Put it aside for now, who knows if it will be useful in the future.

In fact, Chen Ming originally wanted to ask about the price of the depreciated spacecraft.

But the repair shop actually has them all. Chen Ming had already looked at them in the afternoon, so there was no need to ask now.

So Chen Ming stood up and said, "How much is your drink? I'll pay for it for you."

Old Wu said in surprise: "So good?"

"Just treat it as the same as before. You have to pay someone to do something for you. Or if you have questions for me, we can make it even."

Chen Ming stopped paying and looked at Lao Wu.

He knew very well that Old Wu must have something to tell him.

I have only known Old Wu for a short time, and he just ripped me off, but now he turns around and says he is treating me. This is totally unlike his style.

Chen Ming was sure that it was not because Old Wu felt guilty, but that he had some other purpose.

Old Wu drank the rest of the wine in the glass in one gulp, wiped his mouth and said, "Hey, there really is one. Let's go out and talk."

Old Wu paid for the drinks himself and took Chen Ming to an alley outside the bar.

It was rare for him to find this dim corner in a space station that was lit 24 hours a day.

Old Wu looked at both sides of the alley, and after confirming that there was no one there, he said to Chen Ming: "The factory manager needs me to confirm your situation and find out why you came to the space station."

"?"

Chen Ming had never expected Old Wu to be so direct, and asked back, "You asked directly like that, aren't you afraid that I'll talk nonsense?"

Old Wu smiled a smile that Chen Ming had seen many times before and said, "Isn't this a deal we both agreed to?"

"You ask me, I ask you, if we both tell the truth, everyone will be happy, and we will have the opportunity to work together in the future, isn't that great?"

Chen Ming was silent for a while and said, "Indeed."

Telling the truth will benefit everyone. The factory manager will feel at ease, and Chen Ming will be able to gain the initial trust of Lao Wu and the factory manager.

Moreover, for Chen Ming, if we ignore his origins and only focus on his purpose, then he actually has nothing to hide.

Chen Ming organized his words and said, "What I have to do now is to make money to buy a new spaceship, and then go to the prosperous star field."

Old Wu waited for a while, and when he realized that Chen Ming had no intention of continuing, he asked, "That's all?"

"No, I haven't decided what to do next. I plan to stay in the space station for a year or two, and then leave when I make some money."

Old Wu looked at Chen Ming with some disbelief and said, "Earning enough to build a spaceship in one or two years? Even if you already have one, it's not easy to do."

"This is my thing. I've already thought of the idea of ​​making money, I just have to experiment with it."

Old Wu heard the hidden meaning in Chen Ming's words and raised his eyebrows.

Chen Ming immediately said, "I just need to collect some obsolete weapons from the repair shop. The employees should have an internal price, right?"

"Yes, but what do you want with things that can only be melted down?"

“Refurbishment.”

Old Wu looked at Chen Ming with some confusion.

He knew Chen Ming's skills, and he also knew that people with such skills must have some understanding of the situation of weapons.

You should know the visible difference between second-hand refurbished goods and first-hand original factory goods. How can you make money if you can't sell them? Chen Ming naturally didn't bother to explain more. He knew the weapons he had repaired best, and he couldn't tell whether they were second-hand or not.

This is where the money is made.

Anyway, he just mentioned it now so that Old Wu would have an impression. When the time comes and he really wants to make money, he will still have to talk to the factory manager about this matter.

Old Wu also saw that Chen Ming didn't want to say anything more, and what he knew now was enough for him to report back.

He suddenly chuckled and said, "Okay, that's it. I have to go report."

"Also, I have a little news for you. Afterglow may attack the space station in the next few days. If possible, it's best to live in the city."

"Besides, tomorrow's job opening will also take place in the city. You can come here directly tomorrow morning and I'll take you there."

"OK."

Chen Ming agreed and quickly left the alley.

And Old Wu was still leaning against the wall of the alley.

After Chen Ming's figure completely disappeared from his sight, he took out the terminal and contacted the factory manager.
