This is Xia Ge's second visit to the black market.

On the suspension car, Chen Xiaonian handed him a hat.

The hat is round, it is a fisherman's hat with a brim, it is very soft, it half covers the ears, and only some fine hair is exposed at the temples.

Xia Ge tried to put it on, looked at the reflection of the glass, and was in a good mood, "This is great! I was worried that I would be discovered if I came out without changing my ears."

The little yellow cat-style hat makes him look even smaller. The top of the hat has two pointed corners, which are exactly the shape of a pair of cat ears, so he can pretend to be a middle school student.

It is also better to conceal his identity. If you go out like this, you will not be considered Lin Yuyin himself. In the black market, you will only think that he really hid a pair of cat ears in the hat.

"If you like it, I'll give this to you."

Chen Xiaonian said generously, "I don't need it anyway."

"Really! Thank you!"

Xia Ge suddenly turned around, unexpectedly he received another gift, excitedly excited again, "Then I will give you a gift next time too!"

"Helping me complete the research is the best gift, there is no rush."

During the chat, the suspension car arrived at the black market.

Same as last time, he and Chen Xiaonian first passed through the 'security gate' together.

When Xia Ge passed the door, the number 100 was still displayed, and Chen Xiaonian also walked through that door.

Above the door, his number is displayed:

【3】

After them, there were others passing through the door. Xia Ge saw a few, and it seemed that they were either between 95 and 100, or between 0 and ten.

Behind them, a man who looked nervous also passed through the door, only to be stopped.

Xia Ge looked back curiously, the number displayed on the door happened to be [1.3].

The person who was stopped at the door was a middle-aged man. Seeing this, he immediately argued red-faced, "I already have 1.3, so why don't you let me in!"

"I'm very sorry, but you really didn't meet the standard."

Xia Ge followed Chen Xiaonian. He was curious about this security gate before, and couldn't help asking, "Why was he stopped?"

Chen Xiaonian took him for a walk in the alley, today's time seemed wrong, there were not many people between the shops.

"Because 1.3 is still too low, no matter how you have to be above 2.7, you can be allowed to enter here."

Xia Ge: "What is 2.7?"

Chen Xiaonian: "The mechanization ratio of the human body is 2.7 percent."

The human body, mechanized?

Xia Ge's first reaction was, do humans want to become robots?

No, the accurate term might be bionics.

He remembered that Lu Xingshen's value was 10.5.

At this moment, noises came from behind.

"Sir, if it's just internally augmented mechanical bones and bionic teeth, the proportion will indeed be insufficient, so please go back."

"Don't slander people! I was born this tall, so I didn't do any height enhancement! There is definitely something wrong with your machine, absolutely—"

Then there was a burst of laughter, jokingly mocking the middle-aged man who refused to admit that he had built-in heightened bones.

what……

Xia Ge silently withdrew his gaze and stopped looking back frequently.

People in the interstellar era still care about height.

"I saw someone just now. It seems to be 6%. Isn't this very high?"

Xia Ge didn't have the nerve to ask directly what the ratio of 10.5 is. He is a bionic person, and Chen Xiaonian only knows the few people he has come into contact with, and no one with 10.5 passed through that door just now, so it is too easy to guess.

"well enough,"

Chen Xiaonian thought for a while, "Generally speaking, if a human organ has been modified, the ratio will be around 6, and if it is an important organ, it can be as high as about [-]%."

And Chen Xiaonian himself only has 3.

Knowing that Xiao Xia would be curious, he took the initiative to reveal, "My liver was damaged in the early years, so a bionic liver was transplanted, and now I feel much smoother when I stay up late."

Xia Ge: "...take care of yourself, classmate Chen."

Chen Xiaonian laughed, "Of course."

Seeing these strange shops in the black market for the second time, Xia Ge was mentally prepared. If he tried to stay calm, he would not be too frightened, but because of his nerves, he looked super serious.

Because it is an underground city, the streets and alleys of the black market are narrower and more compact than those outside. The two of them hadn't walked far when Xia Ge saw a familiar figure walking towards them from a distance.

"haven't seen you for a long time."

The bionic man opened his mouth towards them. On the neck was the iconic puppet head, with knife-like facial features engraved on it, without hair.

He came straight, greeted Xia Ge first, and then turned to Chen Xiaonian, "Is this your friend?"

Chen Xiaonian also looked at the two bionics, not too surprised, "You also met at the reception?"

Xia Ge nodded, "That's right, classmate Chen is here too, the blind boxes he sells at that stall are really interesting."

"Talk while you walk."

The voice of the puppet was as flat as ever, leading the way in front, leading the two towards a small alley with almost no one there.

"I didn't have time to introduce myself before. My number is N4-L19. Feel free to call me Ah Jiu."

Xia Ge also said happily, "Then you can call me Xiao Xia."

The alley was very quiet. When we continued walking, we could no longer see the shops with open doors waiting for customers. Ah Jiu came to an ancient old wooden door, grabbed the iron ring on it and buckled it. Soon, the door opened from the inside. .

It looks old, but it is actually an electric door.

The room inside is then lit with warm yellow lights, rows of glass shelves are neatly stacked, bypassing the shelves, you can see a set of sofas and coffee tables placed on the innermost side, blocked behind a bronze metal screen .

"Where is the boss?"

Xia Ge looked around, but did not see anyone welcoming him.

"I am."

The puppet man Jiu said.

Xia Ge opened his eyes slightly, "It's amazing, you have your own shop? Do you live here too?"

Chen Xiaonian sat on the sofa with them, it was not the first time he came here, he didn't look too reserved,

"I only learned recently that not every bionic person has a 'master'. Some of them were abandoned or fled on their own. There are various situations."

There were some hints in these words, but Xia Ge didn't understand. He just sat on the sofa and looked at Ah Jiu who was opposite, guessing what kind of man he was.

"The person who made me is no longer here."

Xia Ge lowered his head, "Sorry."

"No apologies, I'm not human and don't feel sad about it."

Ah Jiu still said calmly, "Whether it is a living or non-living body, no one can escape the end of annihilation. This is a fact. Back to the point, Xiao Xia, what do you want to customize? Ears?"

Ah Jiu didn't notice Xia Ge's change, only thought that he just changed his appearance and became a bionic man with cat ears.

Chen Xiaonian pursed his lips lightly, turned his head and suppressed the smile.

"No, it's not... I think my ears are fine anyway."

Xia Ge rubbed the back of his head in embarrassment, "I actually want to learn how to make bionic organs with you, and then, I want to make it myself, is that okay?"

"If it were you."

The puppet Ah Jiu said in a steady voice, the unchanging tone made him sound like he was chanting no matter what he said,

"I can teach you for free, but it may take some time, can you come to me once a week?"

"Of course! It's a deal!"

Xia Ge subconsciously stretched out his right hand to give him a high five, but Ah Jiu sat on the sofa without moving.

Chen Xiaonian laughed, stood up, pressed Xia Ge's palm down, covered his right hand on it, and motioned to Ah Jiu's chin, "Come, hand."

Ah Jiu is smart enough, and has a good ability to draw inferences from one instance to another. She quickly understood what he meant, and stretched out her palm, placing it on top of them.

"work hard together!"

"Great!"

However, there is one final problem.

The cost of manufacturing bionic tissues is very high. Chen Xiaonian can afford the price needed to buy ready-made products with his own pocket money and scholarships. Custom-made ones are more expensive.

But if you are an apprentice for a long time and try to make it with Ah Jiu, there will definitely be some failed products before the real finished product is made, which will waste an unknown amount of cost.

The price doubled directly, even if the unsatisfactory failed products were sold at a low price, it would be difficult to fill the gap.

"I've thought of this question before."

Chen Xiaonian had thought about it a long time ago, and patted Xia Ge on the shoulder, "Don't worry, I know a very suitable way to make money for you, and it will definitely make you extra pocket money on the basis of filling this hole."

As he spoke, he blinked his left eye.

"What is it?"

Xia Ge suddenly looked forward to it.You can actually earn your own pocket money!

Although, he vaguely thought about such a future when he entered the library.

I also used to think like a dream, if he can grow up, go to school, and really learn something, will he also have the opportunity to become an adult who can work and earn money.

It's not that he hasn't done work-study programs, but those are not so much part-time jobs as receiving the kindness of people around him.

I went to the school cafeteria as a helper, occasionally helped my classmates run errands, helped to pick up food delivery within the scope of my ability and when I was in good health, and helped my aunt and grandpa in the same ward to cook, and I could get some change.

But he knew that these were not real jobs.

If it wasn't for his needs, those who paid him would simply do things by themselves and would not go to others.

Real work is not such an unnecessary thing.

Xia Ge's intuition told him that the 'method of making money' proposed by Chen Xiaonian would definitely be a formal and really powerful thing.

"There are no outsiders here, so I just said it directly."

Chen Xiaonian sat down again, stretched out an index finger with a smile, cleared his throat as if he was going to talk about something important,

"Perhaps you've heard of a contraband known as the Window to Utopia."

"Contraband..."

Xia Ge was taken aback, and tightened his fingers reflexively, suddenly thinking of the colonel's terrifying fighting power when dealing with the contraband incident.

"Don't worry, the way to make money I'm talking about is certainly not for you to commit crimes and make chips for contraband,"

The smile on Chen Xiaonian's face widened, and he said unhurriedly, "The product I recommend you is just another opposite product related to it, I like to call it 'anti-theft window' in private, but some people say it is a demon mirror , it’s all the same, it also needs a chip.”

As he said that, Chen Xiaonian borrowed Ah Jiu's tea table, tapped on the smart brain behind his ear, and some light blue holographic images popped up, showing some relevant information.

"That's it. With it, it will be much more convenient and efficient for the military to investigate and deal with the contraband 'Window of Utopia'."

Xia Ge looked down and found the conceptual drawing of this thing, which looked like a kind of glasses.

"It's interesting to say that the most common shape of Utopia's window is also a kind of wearable glasses."

Chen Xiaonian smiled while holding his chin, "Well, this is not too difficult, at least not difficult for you, and I plan to secretly sell it to the military, it is not illegal at all, it is very safe."

"I...why me?"

Xia Ge was stunned, and was a little confused for a while, "Can I do such a powerful thing? I can..."

"Of course, if it were you, this matter would not only make money, but also be very meaningful and help many people,"

Chen Xiaonian's tone is very natural, as if this is the consensus of everyone who knows,

"Humans can't make this kind of thing without mechanical assistance. After all, it is nano-level precision, but I discovered it when you helped with the homework. If you want to do it, you don't need any mechanical assistance. If you do it, the cost saved will become part of your remuneration."

After Xia Ge heard this, his eyes widened even wider than before, "Can I help others?"

helping others?His good-for-nothing? ?

No no, although he is now a bionic person, he should not be useless anymore, but...

"Xiao Xia, don't you know that you are great?"

Seeing his reaction, Chen Xiaonian was slightly surprised, "Otherwise, why would I always choose to ask you to help me deal with my learning difficulties?"

Xia Ge straightened up confidently, and said seriously, "I don't know."

Chen Xiaonian was amused by him, "The self-awareness of bionics is really interesting sometimes."

"Really, Lu Xing originally wanted me to do a lot of things when I came out of further study, but I seem to behave very badly,"

Speaking of this, Xia Ge sighed, shook his head, and said rather sadly, "I'm not like Lin Yuyin at all... If it wasn't for his good temper, I would have been thrown out a long time ago."

what.

I really don't know myself well.

Chen Xiaonian couldn't help it, raised his hand, and patted the top of his head with the hat on.

"Believe me, he is not willing to lose you."

Moreover, if you really lost it, wouldn't you just be free?Where is not better than now?

Chen Xiaonian thought from the bottom of his heart.

"That's right, I'm so expensive."

Xia Ge was immediately comforted and cheered up, "The cost of a little bionic tissue is so high, so I must be more expensive. I always feel that it is worth a villa, isn't it?"

"……villa."

No, is this measured in villas?

Chen Xiaonian shook his head and looked at the silent puppet next to him, "Ah Jiu, your math is good, you can calculate it, can Xiaoxia convert it with the value of the villa?"

Ah Jiu was very honest, light flashed in her glass-like eyes, and the calculation was completed in a few seconds.

"The value of the villa is far lower than his, and it is difficult to convert."

Soul awareness, is priceless.

Xia Ge blushed from the praise, and laughed, "It's okay, it's not that powerful."

Chen Xiaonian: "...Poof."

I always feel like he still doesn't understand, but, never mind.

After confirming that Xia Ge agreed, the three arranged their weekly schedule together.

In order to ensure safety, Chen Xiaonian suggested that Xia Ge arrange their research, part-time job, and study plans on the three days when Lin Yuyin has classes every week.

Because there is a difference in class scheduling, they also do it on a weekly basis. They learn to make bionic organs every week. He worked on the chip together, the difference is that he spends more time and can take up more of Xia Ge's time each time.

"Then this week is Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, and next week is Monday, Wednesday, Thursday."

Xia Ge recorded the schedule well, and felt a lot more enriched all of a sudden.

He has one more expectation for the future, and he can't help but start fantasizing about going home with his hand-made butt, putting it in an exquisite gift box, and watching Lu Xingshen unwrap it with his own hands.

Well, after all, if I install it directly for myself, I am worried that I will make mistakes. I still hope that Lu Xingshen can agree and help install it together.

If you don't agree, let's talk!He would have done it anyway.

Xia Ge's small abacus was crackling, and the whole person was very happy.

After almost finishing the schedule, Xia Ge looked at the materials related to the 'anti-theft window' and suddenly had a question.

"By the way, after this is made, how to test whether its performance is good or not?"

"Of course it is to find contraband to test."

Xia Ge: "...?"

Sounds so dangerous!

"Don't be afraid, for ordinary people, the real danger is the Colonel."

Chen Xiaonian comforted him,

"If you're not even afraid of the colonel, those people are nothing to be afraid of."

"Really……"

Xia Ge thought about it seriously, feeling even more terrifying.

"Just kidding...they are really not dangerous, the real danger is the contraband,"

Chen Xiaonian raised his forehead and gave up his cold joke, and answered again seriously,

"No matter how dangerous the knife is, there are people who use it to peel apples. Although there are some people who have contraband, their aggressiveness is not external, but internal."

"Inward...does it mean that instead of hurting others, you hurt yourself?"

Happened, the most incomprehensible thing for Xia Ge.

"Self-destructive tendencies..."

Ah Jiu suddenly spoke at this moment, and said thoughtfully, "A small number of people think that this is also one of the signs of artificial intelligence showing autonomous consciousness."

"They need help."

Chen Xiaonian said, "Just like the flock of birds that crashed into transparent glass and hovering cars without hesitation, they just couldn't see clearly ahead."

Xia Ge: "..."

Chen Xiaonian: "Xiao Xia, you can help them stop."

Ah Jiu: "Mr. Chen, you now sound like a black-hearted boss who talks about his employees."

Xia Ge was amused at once, and the whole person leaned back and forth, "If you say it this way, it's true hahahaha..."

Chen Xiaonian also laughed, "Hahaha, how can there be, of course money is enough, I just said it casually...ah, why do bionics have such a good sense of humor?"
