NPC's Poverty Story

Chapter 16 Why don't you think about it?
The sudden sound startled An Miao. She was thinking about the future direction of development and didn't notice anyone standing at the door.

It was a middle-aged man with gray hair, wearing black casual clothes and a white glove on one hand, which did not match his clothes.

"When did you come in? It's not business hours yet." An Miao asked doubtfully.

The middle-aged man was also taken aback when he heard the words, and asked in the same doubt: "Do I have to wait until business hours when I get home?"

etc!go home?
An Mio jumped up from the chair like a ghost, didn't old man Li say that old Ross would come back tomorrow?

"Are you Mr. Ross?" An Miao blinked, but she still did not call him Old Ross in front of him. After all, she still had to find a way to stay in the store, and the first impression was very important!
Besides, he is really not old. Although his hair is a little gray, he looks very energetic and does not look old at all.

"You haven't answered my question yet." Old Ross nodded, confirming An Miao's words, and then focused on the mechanical sword in An Miao's hand.

An Mio saw that Old Ross seemed to be very interested in this knife, it seems that there is something wrong with keeping it in the shop!

So she replied truthfully: "This is not my own making, I just modified one of your drawings."

"Really?" Old Ross thought about it carefully, but he had no impression. Maybe he had actually designed similar drawings.

"It's this blueprint." Seeing Old Ross's expression of "I don't have it, I don't have it," An Miao could only take out the blueprint of the small mechanical flick knife.

Old Rose took the drawing and looked at it for a while, then suddenly slapped his head, and suddenly realized: "This is what I was scribbling when I was idle, but you actually made it and improved it."

An Mio was left speechless by Old Rose's performance, but she was even more convinced that Old Rose was a capable mechanic.

Although the blueprint of this mechanical bullet knife is not complicated, it is not something that a mechanic like An Mio can draw casually. The seemingly simple drawing actually contains many details, and any error in any link may lead to The finished product is different from expectations.

"Show me." Old Rose said suddenly.

Hearing this, An Miao handed the long knife in his hand to Old Ross. Old Ross looked at it for a few times, then reached out and touched the blade, and then there was a look of disappointment in his eyes.

"The forging of the blade is not good enough, and there are too many impurities in the material, which affects the overall quality of the knife." Old Ross analyzed seriously.

An Mio has naturally thought about these issues, but with her current strength, she can only do this. She has not learned the knowledge about material refining, and all she can do is forging in a furnace. It is possible to completely remove impurities from the material.

"But it's okay if you can do this." Old Ross handed the knife to An Miao again.

An Mio reckoned that it was about time for her to ask to stay and work in the shop, while Old Ross had a good impression of her now.

"I……"

"You don't need to say anything, I know what you want to say." An Mio was interrupted by Old Ross just as she spoke.

An Miao opened her mouth, but what she wanted to say was suppressed by Old Ross.

"Then what do you mean?"

"I have no shortage of manpower here." Old Ross said seriously.

"You can think about it again. I am also a trainee machinist, and my salary is very cheap. I can work eight hours a day, and there is no overtime pay for overtime. It is no problem to handle some small orders. In short, hire me You will never suffer a loss." An Miao said with a serious face.

Old Rose raised his eyebrows, stared at An Mio and looked again and again, it was the first time he had seen such a thick-skinned person who boasted that his face did not change color.

However, Old Rose would naturally not be moved by what An Mio said, not to mention that the salary was cheap, he wouldn't even have to pay An Mio if he didn't hire him.

"You have worked here for three days in total. The salary you agreed with Sophia is one hundred star coins a day. I will give you three hundred star coins now. You can leave after packing up." Old Ross shook his head.

He could tell that this girl had mechanical talent, but she had some secrets that could not be discovered by outsiders, so he would not recruit anyone in the repair shop.

This time An Miao was entirely on Sophia's own initiative, but she just didn't know what that girl was thinking.

"Can't you really consider letting me stay and work in the store?" Mio asked again.

"No."

"I know about Sophia."

Old Rose was stunned for a moment, then took a deep look at Mio: "How much do you know?"

"She is not your daughter, but a mechanical life created by you." An Mio said slowly, staring into Old Rose's eyes.

Old Rose's eyes became serious, and he said in a deep voice, "How do you know?"

"Sophia lost control yesterday. I found it accidentally when I went to find her. It was her wish to let me stay in the store." An Miao did not hide it.

When Mio heard the word "out of control", Mio saw that Old Rose's face changed instantly: "This is impossible, there should be still time."

An Miao didn't know what Old Ross was thinking when he saw this, but it seemed that Old Ross knew about Sophia's situation, and also knew how often Sophia lost control and went crazy.

However, judging from Sophia's performance, her situation has begun to deteriorate, and she is losing control more and more frequently, but she has been hiding it from Old Ross.

Originally, An Miao didn't want to negotiate with Old Ross about Sophia, but she had no choice but to stay here no matter what.

In addition to completing the task, if she could learn even a little bit of mechanical knowledge from Old Rose, it would be a huge gain. She made up her mind after confirming that Old Rose was a capable mechanic.

"Sofia's situation is not as optimistic as you think. She has been losing control more and more recently."

An Mio thought about it and told old Ross the real situation of Sophia. From her point of view, old Ross still cared about Sophia very much. Maybe he really regarded Sophia as his daughter.

"You can stay and work in the store for the time being, and don't tell what you know." Old Rose said helplessly after listening to An Mio's words, "I'm going to see Sophia now."

Old Ross left in a hurry after finishing speaking, leaving An Mio alone in a daze.

It took a while before An Mio showed a smile. She heard correctly. Old Rose said that she could stay here for the time being. She thought she would have to spend some more time to convince Old Rose.

Seeing Old Rose's anxious look, An Miao probably understood why. Old Rose was worried about Sophia's safety and had no time to make trouble with her.

But An Mio was still going to tell Old Rose about the infiltrator, and it seemed that she could only wait for Old Rose to come back. She guessed that Old Rose should know something, and that person might have come for him.

An Mio looked at the time, opened the door of the repair shop, and started a new day of work.
