Chapter 325: Repair Technician (Part 2/2)

Translator: Strivon

”Hello, Worker Zhai,” Luo Nan greeted politely, but in the next moment, he blinked his eyes. He felt that this repair technician looked rather familiar.

Plus, Luo Nan noticed that Worker Zhai seemed to be sizing him up as well. Worker Zhai's gaze wasn't directed at Luo Nan's face however. Instead, it rested upon the loose-leaf Luo Nan always carried by his side.

The two locked gazes once more, and Worker Zhai laughed. He said, ”Our center doesn't have the pertinent records for the product that the customer has delivered to us for repair. I have confirmed it to be a D.I.Y. product…. Speaking of which, this student sure likes this kind of stuff, eh?”

Luo Nan was lost for a time. He gazed back at Worker Zhai once more, and memories resurfaced from the depths of his brain. He suddenly realized why this Worker Zhai's face looked familiar. They had indeed met before. His flexible e-ink screen had been stomped on and broken last month when he and Li Xuecheng had that conflict. He took advantage of the Precision Electronics Hobby Society's club activity to get it repaired. Back then, it was none other than this Worker Zhai who had opened up his flexible e-ink screen, allowing Luo Nan to discover the external neuron hidden within.

He recalled that he had acted quite rudely in his moment of desperation. Fortunately, Worker Zhai had a good temperament and wasn't bothered by it.

Luo Nan revealed a smile as well. ”Oh, Worker Zhai works here. Much thanks for that day….”

”Thanks for what? I just opened it up, didn't do anything else. Oh right, have you fixed that tablet of yours yet?”

Luo Nan didn't know how to respond upon hearing this question. In his moment of stupefaction, Worker Zhai changed the topic, ”What you brought here today is also a D.I.Y. product. There aren't any operator manuals readily available. This makes fixing it more troublesome. Currently, our service center isn't at full capacity in servicing customers. I propose you apply for exclusive service. This will make the speed much quicker.”

D.I.Y? In other words, the tai chi ball wasn't a mass-produced product.

Luo Nan was a bit surprised, but found it rational. He had never seen such a tai chi ball outside of the daoguan before. He felt that its range of application was also quite narrow.

Before he could respond, Crag Burst asked the service advisor to their side, ”This counts as a last minute upgrade in service. How are you going to calculate the price?”

The beautiful service advisor explained gently, ”The two sirs came here with a reservation made by someone else. Today’s expenses will all be assumed by that customer. As for 'exclusive service', the main benefit is the switch from the open workstation that you have right now to an independent workshop. This fulfills the privacy requirements. Based on that customer's scope of privileges, you won't need to pay any additional expenses.”

”Oh, really? Papercut is so magnanimous. Then let us not argue and go with this.” Crag Burst simply took matters in his own hands, making a decision for Luo Nan.

Luo Nan didn't object.

”Then let us enter into exclusive service. The workshop is number 245. Please follow the service advisor and wait ahead.” Worker Zhai fiddled with some things on his end, waiting for a substitute repair technician to arrive and take his place.

Luo Nan and Crag Burst followed the beautiful service advisor. They made their way through a large open hall and arrived at a completely enclosed workshop to one side. The installations here weren't that different from those outside; there were just a few more equipment. Actually, the space was quite smaller. Crag Burst, with his huge size, felt a bit constrained.

The control console suddenly activated a delivery channel during Crag Burst's mumbling. Luo Nan's mechanical device was fixed to a special vise, and was shipped over to be placed upon a spot that was slightly in front of the center of the control console.

This mechanical device was the core of the daoguan's tai chi ball. Externally, it was a sphere that was the size of a fist. On its surface stretched a very thin layer of metal mesh. Inside lay a device similar to a gyroscope. Atop the special support, the external metal mesh endlessly expanded and shrunk. It didn't stop doing this at all, but this was all that it did.
