The First Evolution

Chapter 126: Hidden Mission?

Immediately afterward, the music sounded.

In the beginning, this piece sounded like ordinary music, but after 10 seconds, the tune changed, which immediately made people feel very uncomfortable. The surrounding diners also moved away. Fortunately, Fang Linyan could bear it himself.

However, less than 30 seconds after the play, the sound from the player was suddenly interrupted, replaced by a dull “click” sound.

Fang Linyan stayed in a daze, and he immediately remembered that Hibor seemed to be very unfriendly to the person who damaged the player, so he immediately clarified,

“I haven’t touched it. I didn’t break it.”

Hibor smiled slightly and took half a sip,

“I know you didn’t break it, but you gave me the damaged jetpack, so I gave you the damaged player. Isn’t that fair?”

Hearing Hibor’s words, Fang Linyan was stunned, then he smiled and said,

“Yes, it’s fair.”

To be honest, Hibor originally wanted to see Fang Linyan’s angry expression, but he was obviously disappointed. Fang Linyan’s reaction was completely beyond his expectation. Why did he appear so calm… there is even a hint of joy?

Therefore, Hibor immediately wanted to take back the damaged player, but Fang Linyan simply took the player in his hand first,

“Although it is broken, I don’t think it matters. I didn’t plan to return it to you yet.”

Hibor’s face suddenly turned gloomy as he said,

“What’s the use of the damaged player?”

Fang Linyan had opened it. His fingers were as dexterous as butterflies flying, and they actually give people a pleasing feeling. The young ladies who watched by the side suddenly lit up, and they seemed to have lewd thoughts — In a blink of an eye, the shell of the player and a few screws had been disassembled and placed on the side, exposing the complex integrated circuit board and mechanical structure inside. Fang Linyan quickly said while disassembling,

“It’s a coincidence that I also know some maintenance techniques. I think this player has not been completely shut down yet, and I can still rescue it.”

Hibor’s face suddenly became gloomy,

“Hehe, you? I have looked for several technicians with the best skill in Yangfan City, and they are all helpless. One of the parts was damaged. However, now they don’t have the ability to manufacture this part at all! Unless they found it a newly discovered ruin…”

Before Hibor finished speaking, he saw that Fang Linyan had taken out an obviously deformed part from the inside of the player,

“It is this 2Y2 Zener diode that is damaged? I have found it.”

Hibor was a little dazed for a while, then Fang Linyan continued to check. After a while, he took out a manifold from the top and said,

“But the purpose of the 2Y2 Zener diode is actually to prevent key channeling. Even if it is damaged, it will not prevent the machine from making sound. The real culprit is here. The speed controller circuit in this integrated block is damaged — This kind of malfunction is too common in the radio and player that comes with the car. Give me 20 minutes to find the materials. I can guarantee to fix it, but this machine will probably lose its reverse function in the future. “

Hibor was stunned. Obviously, he couldn’t understand Fang Linyan’s original professional terms, but the 6 words “guarantee to fix it” were clear to him. He could not help but said,

“The reverse play function is not very important, as long as you can fix it, then you will past the test.”

Fang Linyan said,

“20 minutes.”

Then he ran towards a shop not far away. Within a few minutes, he walked back with 2 scrapped radios in his hand and an electric soldering iron.

It took less than 10 minutes in total for Fang Linyan to successfully repair Hibor’s player. After inserting the Black Friday CD and pressing the play button, the deep and depressing music sounded immediately…

Why couldn’t the technicians of Yangfan City fix this thing, but Fang Linyan could fix it?

The reason was still that the advent of the apocalypse had caused the loss of technology in human civilization, and there were still many subtle differences between the machine civilization of this world and the world of Fang Linyan, so Fang Linyan’s thinking was not acceptable to the rest of the technicians.

Of course, what was more important was that Fang Linyan’s method of repairing was to dismantle from 1 machine and repair another machine…

It only took about 4 minutes for Fang Linyan to listen to this Black Friday, which was known as the top 10 forbidden songs and could cause people to suicide. For him who had a strong and indifferent will, Black Friday could only stir his mood slightly.

At this time, a series of prompts came out from the lower right corner of Fang Linyan’s retinas,

“You have successfully listened to the song Black Friday in this world.”

“You completed milestone: Forbidden Music Listener.”

“You got the title: Take It Indifferently.”

“After wearing this title, it will make it easier for you to maintain a calm mind. When using long-range attacks, your hit rate will increase by 0.5%. This title has priority.”

“Prioritized skills/titles, when encountering conflicting related attributes, (for example, the attribute that increases the hit rate meets the attribute that increases the enemy’s evasion), it will suppress and disable the attributes.”

“If both parties in conflict have the prioritized attribute, then both will cancel each other out. If they can’t be canceled, a random suppress will occur.”

Looking at the new series of explanations, Fang Linyan silently remembered the keyword “priority” in his mind. He keenly felt that this should be a rare affix. The equipment or title with it should be very valuable.

***

Just when Fang Linyan was in a daze, Hibor had already taken back the player. After testing and confirming that the player was really repaired, he watched Fang Linyan slowly said,

“I didn’t expect you to have such an ability.”

Then he took out something from his arms and rubbed it lightly, and the object was spinning steadily on the table at a high speed. At first glance, it looked like it was fixed in place immovably. Its design was sophisticated!

Fang Linyan took a closer look and found that this thing was actually an exquisite spinning top the size of a fingernail. When he looked carefully, the spinning top was shining and seamless like a work of art.

Hibor rubbed this lightly, and the spinning top spun on the wooden tabletop for 6 minutes before it stopped, only then did he say to Fang Linyan,

“You can make this spinning top by yourself. When you make a spinning top that is smaller than a fist and can spin on the table for more than 3 minutes, come to me. I can give you benefits.”

Fang Linyan was overjoyed. Is it that I triggered the hidden mission by repairing the player? He said calmly,

“Okay, where can I find you?”

Hibor said,

“I am here every morning.”

Fang Linyan shrugged and said,

“Ugh, well, I mean, where will I find you in 2 hours?”

Hibor was stunned for a while, then he said in displeasure,

“It’s good for young people to have courage, but boosting your own strength too much for grandstanding, that’s arrogance!”

Fang Linyan said helplessly,

“But I didn’t boost.”

Hibor was so furious that he laughed and said,

“This is the birthday gift that my old friend spent 10 days to craft. He told me that if I meet a younger generation who is talented in this area, I can give him some help. You actually said that you can make this hypnotic spinning top in 2 hours?”

Fang Linyan sighed,

“I just thought about it again, and I feel that the previous statement is indeed somewhat inaccurate.”

Hearing what he said, Hibor’s complexion was eased slightly, but Fang Linyan’s next sentence directly caused the blue veins on his neck to burst out with anger!

“2 hours is really not objective, I think 1 and a half hours is enough.”

What could Hibor say at this moment, he gritted his teeth and stood up,

“Okay, okay! Come with me, if you can’t make this thing in an hour and a half, then I will teach you a lesson today, a very profound lesson!”

Goat didn’t expect that Fang Linyan was able to attract hatred so much. He just agitated Hibor so much in a few words. He didn’t even have the opportunity to interrupt. At this time, he had no choice but to accompany Fang Linyan to follow Hibor.

The previous conversation between Fang Linyan and Hibor did not attract too many people’s attention, so they did not attract much attention when they left.

Under Hibor’s lead, the 3 of them soon came to a building that looked rather old. At first glance, the house looked very ordinary. Looking closely, one could feel the histories in it.

It had simple white walls and black tiles, long and narrow wooden grids with spike top, shell-shaped grooves on the door lintel, and iron robin wind chimes on the eaves. After taking a few glances, one could feel the vicissitudes and noble feeling from it.

At this time, Fang Linyan already knew that the house price in Yangfan City actually depended on the distance from the Iron Fist Fortress. The closer the house was to the Iron Fist Fortress, the more valuable it was. Because once one encountered danger, one could withdraw as quickly as possible to the safest Area.

Therefore, the identity of the people living in this building was mostly important to the Iron Fist Brotherhood.

Hibor hurried forward and knocked on the door. Soon, an old man with a bald red nose came out and opened the door. His swollen belly even bullied the shirt inside into a vest, making people feel like the buttons on the belly button were miracles. The old man’s eyes lit up when he saw Hibor,

“Aha, drunkard, are you finally discovering with your conscience that you are going to cash out the 2 bottles of gin that you lost to me?”

TL: It’s a crafting hidden mission? Will it reward something related to his benchwork skill?
