Chapter 15 Repair of Prosthetic Limbs
"That is to say, how could a weapon of this level be developed by a Zuan person? It will definitely cause panic among the senior executives of Picheng. If he really wants to save Zuan, he should not make this statement. Isn't it good to complete it in private? He has to send it out to everyone to know. Chasing fame and profit is not a character that a scientist should possess! Alas... I'm afraid that he is another person who speaks big talk and gets the popularity."
Mrs. Thompson sighed and patted her shoulders, helping Oriana to sort out the somewhat loose delicate hairbands.
In the atmosphere where Piltwolf, the city of progress, advocates science, it is normal for an old woman and a little girl to speak loudly about the cutting-edge of today's science and technology.
"I guess there is something hidden, there is insufficient funds or shortage of materials, I want to attract the attention of speculators through newspapers. Mrs. Thompson, I think I found the reason for the prosthetic failure. You should avoid wearing these clothes that are prone to shedding."
Orianna's inspection of Mrs. Thompson has been completed. The reason why her prosthetic failed was that some wool on her clothes drilled into the prosthetic limb, stuck a certain gear that controlled her thumb, causing the transmission to break. She just needed to clean the wool, drip lubricant, and replace some old aging parts.
"Hidden truth? Why do you think so? Oriana, not everyone is as kind as you."
The old woman kept her right arm still so that Oriana could clamp the wool that was stranded between the gears with tweezers, which might take a little time.
"Well... because Geno said that Victor was not that kind of person, they seemed to know each other."
"Who is Jeno?" Mrs. Thompson was confused.
"It's a Zuan friend I just met yesterday. Look, he's just shooting irons on the workbench."
When Geno heard Oriana's introduction to him, he turned around at the right time and smiled grey at Mrs. Thompson. During the ironing, his face inevitably had some toner stained with.
Mrs. Thompson narrowed her eyes and tried to stretch her neck to look at Geno, but Oriana grabbed her arm.
"The maintenance has not been completed yet, don't move around."
"Oliana, she has a good attitude and is quite handsome. She is a little thinner, but most of the people in Zuan are thinner. You can get fat by giving him more meals."
After looking at it for a while, Mrs. Thompson finally gave her evaluation. Geno's first impression looked pretty good, with a straight facial features, a white face, a dark eyelid, a perfect curve of the corners of her mouth. She did not paint strange makeup on her face, nor did she wear earrings and nose nails.
"Mrs. Thompson, your beauty is no less than Oriana."
Speaking is an art, and Geno praised two women in one sentence.
"Oh, the young man's mouth is sweet enough to his heart. Zuan people often lack the qualities like you."
If you want to gain the favor of a Picheng people in communication, you just need to praise her a few words, and the Zuan people speak more directly. This is one of the reasons why the Picheng people don’t like Zuan people.
"Did Mrs. Thompson get something wrong? Geno and I are just ordinary friends. We just met yesterday." Oriana emphasized.
"Then why are you blushing?" Mrs. Thompson quipped.
"Where do I have it!!"
Facing Oriana's quibbling, Mrs. Thompson just smiled and said nothing. After a while, Oriana's face became even more rosy.
She couldn't help but sigh, it's great to be young.
"You said you only met yesterday, Oriana, have you gone to Zuan?"
"Yes? What's wrong? I met Jeno after I went to Zuan."
"What's going on with that guy Colin? How could you allow you to go to that kind of place?"
Mrs. Thompson cursed Colin angrily, saying that the bastard did not do his father's duties well. The older generation is like this. She scolds the children reluctantly, and only scolds the parents for being unscrupulous in discipline.
"I walked on the walk without telling my father... He didn't know it at first."
Orianna's eyes dodged a little. After a night of contemplation, she realized how unresponsible her behavior was for her family.
"It's too dangerous, you don't know... Those patients who were concentrated in Zuan Center, even if they just inhale some poisonous gas and put on a respirator, could not escape the disaster. All the internal organs in their bodies were corroded, and then they died in pain and slowly..."
Geno stopped to make a blacksmith. He had confirmed that he had been poisoned, but he just didn't know when the poison would be released. It was enough for Oriana to be safe.
"I think you need to check it out. I know a witch doctor from Freljord. Do you want to take you to see it?"
"Sorry Mrs. Thompson, I need to see the store today."
Orianna shook her head repeatedly and rejected Mrs. Thompson's kindness. She subconsciously did not believe in those non-scientific means.
Mrs. Thompson didn't say anything else. After the part of her communication with others was divided and she focused her attention. Oriana's work efficiency immediately accelerated a lot and quickly completed the maintenance of the prosthetic limbs.
Mrs. Thompson moved her right arm, as if she was directed by an arm, and she took a sip of sweet milk with her prosthetic limb, without any signs of shaking her hands again.
She was so happy that she stepped forward and hugged Oriana to show her gratitude:
"Thank you, child, I feel that I am full of strength now. When I go back, I will find the old man to fight with you! May the gears rotate forever."
"May the gears rotate forever."
After seeing off Mrs. Thompson, Oriana took a deep breath to adjust her mood, then came straight to Geno and pulled out the Picheng Daily today from the workbench.
Colin is reading the newspaper. If Oriana wants to get the latest news about Twin Cities, then just flip through the workbench, and there must be a newspaper that Colin has read.
"Zuan scientist Victor declared that he invented the storm polymerizer and named it 'Gana'!"
"This is a coincidence!"
The newspaper moved down, and a pair of suspicious eyes stared at the silly Geno: "Say! Did you do this?"
In legend, Gana once used a hurricane to blow away poison gas to save Zuan. If Victor really hopes that this machine can save Zuan, it is indeed fine to name it Gana, just like Gana takes action again, but Oriana always feels that there is something strange about it.
"Hmm? Will you give me a reward if I say yes?"
"I can take you out for fun, go shopping and watch shows in Picheng, etc., but it has to be done after you complete the test."
“Sounds like going on a date?”
"It's not a date! Don't think too much!! Tell me the plan quickly! I can't wait to know the truth! And you just listened to the serious analysis of Mrs. Thompson and two outsiders. Are you laughing secretly? Is there any?! If you laugh, go and die!"
Oli bulged her cheeks and rolled the newspaper into a big stick and knocked on Geno's forehead. The attack speed was 5.0, five times a second.
"It's not that, why are you hitting someone?" Geno picked up the forging hammer in his hand and acted to knock it back, which scared Oriana so much that she hugged her head and left.
He put down the hammer in his hand and spoke slowly:
Chapter completed!
