Chapter 182 Social Engineering(1/2)
This familiar "distance is our friend" made Jiang Baimian and others suddenly feel like they really return to the Red Stone Collection.
This is a settlement where all members believe in and wary sects. Everyone is overly vigilant and always emphasizes hiding themselves and keeping distance.
——The people who met yesterday either did not have any dialogue at all, only had weak interactions, or due to the reputation of Red Stone Games, their posture was very low and they failed to reflect local characteristics and religious habits.
As his thoughts turned, Jiang Baimian turned his head and looked at Shang Jianyao, vaguely gloating.
What she means:
Look, in order to vent your anger, I leaked my secrets before, so that I can tell that you are an awakened person and have enough defense. Now I can't get closer. I rely on the "reasoning clown" to make key friends and sneak into the "underground ark".
This means that at least one-third of the "feasibility plan" that Shang Jianyao is planning has been blocked, and this third is the part with a relatively higher success rate.
This is a good thing for Jiang Baimian, who is swaying inside and tends to ignore other people's business.
She responded to Butler Ulrich with a smile:
"I can understand your vigilance."
With what happened last time, you didn’t just turn us off, which is already very polite.
Housekeeper Ulrich obviously had no intention of greetings and asked:
"Is there anything you guys?"
Jiang Baimian pointed to Gnava wearing sunglasses:
"You also saw that we recently got a robot and the number of high-performance batteries in stock is relatively insufficient. I want to trade a batch from you."
As she spoke, Shang Jianyao looked at Gnava and said in a tone of an ordinary robot:
"Come on, let's play a song for Mr. Butler."
Gnava analyzed it and felt that this was a need for disguise, so he started the loaded playback module and surround sound was emitted from his "mouth":
"only..." (Note 1)
He just sang a lyric and was stopped by Jiang Baimian:
"No, Mr. Butler can understand."
Ulrich had a certain understanding of this ruins team. He ignored the episode and said with no change in expression:
"It's still winter, and the goods reserved by the end of the year have been sent out, and the smuggling merchants on the 'Future Intelligence' may not be there for a month or two."
What he implies is that "Visa Trading Company" has no inventory now, and it will be a long time to wait for the new smuggled batteries to arrive.
Long Yuehong’s summary of this is:
The landlord's family has no surplus food either!
——He now quite understands Bai Chen’s fear of old world entertainment materials. If it weren’t for the team leader’s management, task constraints, and pursuit of “Mechanical Paradise”, he suspected that he would be addicted to it.
People in the old world enjoyed their lives!
Jiang Baimian was unmoved and said with a smile:
"'Ark of Underground' is also a big head that consumes high-performance batteries. You must have left some spare parts. I wonder if it can be evenly distributed. The price is easy to negotiate?
"In another month or two, new products will arrive. Maybe 'Future Intelligence' will make another breakthrough in battery technology. What's the new model that has lost a lot of old batteries? We just help you clean up the inventory."
Ulrich thought about the various performances of this ruins hunter team in the Redstone Series, as well as the fact that his master was frightened but not furious, and pondered for a few seconds:
“How many do you need?
"If there are not many, I can see if I can squeeze out a little."
Jiang Baimian smiled:
"Fifty yuan."
Ulrich suddenly started to cough and could no longer maintain a serious and professional attitude.
Twenty or thirty seconds later, he finally slowed down:
"so much?"
Is this going to form a robot guard?
This savings can be used to support ten robots - as long as you don't use high-energy-consuming modules such as laser weapons, or often need to fight.
"How many pieces can you provide at most?" Jiang Baimian asked without answering.
Ulrich thought for a moment and said:
"Five pieces."
"This is too little." Shang Jianyao made an evaluation on behalf of Jiang Baimian.
"No more." Ulrich's attitude was quite firm.
I will let Shang Jianyao enter the ark and turn your warehouse upside down! Jiang Baimian said an angry word in his heart and said with thought:
"These five high-performance batteries will help us stay for three days, and we will go to other places to ask."
She didn't plan to let the group stay in Redstone for too long. After all, there is a very close trade link with "Mechanical Paradise". They also revealed in Tarnan that they had passed through Redstone, so there is a high probability that the pursuit team of "Mechanical Paradise" will catch up here.
Although Jiang Baimian already has some different ideas about this, he still thinks that he should be cautious.
"No problem." Ulrich did not engage in entanglement.
In his opinion, it is definitely a good deal to send this team of ruins hunters by taking out five high-performance batteries, and the other party is not using supplies to exchange them.
…………
After leaving the underground mall, the "old transfer team" drove straight to the lakeside and arrived at the lakeside villa where Angel Bass often lives.
Outside the corresponding underground parking lot, Bai Chen had just stepped on the brakes, and Jiang Baimian looked at the entrance and said in confusion:
"No one inside..."
"Yes." Shang Jianyao and Gnava gave positive answers respectively.
Jiang Baimian immediately turned around and looked at Gnava:
"Do you have a minesweeper loading?"
"Yes." Gnava pointed outside and said, "Do you need me to do a check?"
"Of course." Jiang Baimian smiled.
After watching Gnava get off the bus, Shang Jianyao said with regret:
"I thought he had loaded the minesweeping game."
He seemed to envy similar things.
Jiang Baimian thought for a while and said:
“That should be unified in the entertainment module.
"Well, what kind of minesweeping he is a smart man? His computing power is much stronger than ours."
During the chat, Gnava confirmed that there were no mines and explosives at the entrance of the underground parking lot, which was very safe.
Jiang Baimian then asked Bai Chen to drive the jeep in.
After a more detailed search, they found some traces of human life, which were quite fresh.
"Is this the morning leaving, or the middle of the night last night?" Jiang Baimian made a preliminary judgment in question.
She suspected that Angelbas and his men were still here last night.
Bai Chen thought and said:
"Maybe he received the information we returned to Redstone and left overnight."
"Will this reaction be too excessive? We won't do anything to him!" Jiang Baimian said angrily and amused.
Of course, she also admitted that what Bai Chen said was very likely.
This happened to the believers of "Yougu", which is not surprising at all. Besides, Angelabas has not been cheated by the "old transfer team".
…………
The hotel camp, Shang Jianyao and others went back to their rooms.
It's less than noon.
——They went to Redstone to find out to the members of the town guards. Angel Bass did leave with some of his confidants in the middle of the night, saying that he was going to "United Industry" to negotiate a business.
At this point, Jiang Baimian was sure that this guy was scared away by the news of the return of the "old transfer team".
"Are we so scary?" Jiang Baimian asked this when he was in the car.
No one answered her.
After sending a telegram to the company and explaining the itinerary, Jiang Baimian walked out of the room and saw Shang Jianyao standing outside the door, looking at the other side of the hotel camp, and fell into deep thought.
"What are you thinking?" Jiang Baimian asked vigilantly.
Shang Jianyao did not move his sight and said to himself:
"I was wondering whether to use the 'reasoning clown' to mingle into the servants and touch the 'underground ark'..."
