Legend of the Elven Investigator

Chapter 103 Margin City



Yuanzhi City, located in the central part of Sinnoh, has the largest population in the entire continent, and is quite a prosperous big city.

Yuanzhi City is located on the east side of the Dianyuan Mountain Range, with beautiful scenery. The water from the depths of the mountains converges here to form a river, which flows eastward into the sea.Yuanzhi City was developed in the early days of Sinnoh. Under the surface of a modern city, there are many ancient ruins hidden.

In addition, the headquarters of the Splendid Contest Organization and the Elf Friendship Club were established here. These two organizations have entered Sinnoh following the close connection between the continents in recent years, and their development speed is quite astonishing.

One of Shinpei's goals in Yuanzhi City is to challenge the ghost gym and have a face-to-face meeting with Melissa.However, considering the luggage all over his body, Shinpei still planned to go to the Spirit Center to settle down first.

After unloading his load, Shinpei was planning to wander around Enno City, but something went wrong with Yumi.

"Oh, my communicator seems to be flooded. Please help me to see if it can't be turned on. I pressed it for a long time and it still doesn't light up." Yumi took out her portable communicator, and it really couldn't be turned on.

"Let me have a look, first take the battery out and I'll check it." Zhenping took the communicator, opened the card slot on the back, and before taking out the battery, some yellow water stains had seeped out of it and dripped on the ground.

"Ahem, it must have been the rainstorm in the Dianyuanshan Tunnel. I haven't used the communicator for a long time." Yumi scratched her head in embarrassment. Since the group trip, she really didn't worry much about work other than cooking. Most of the things were taken care of by Shinpei.

"Okay, the communicator is generally waterproof, but now the battery is flooded. Maybe it can still be used after repairing it. I checked that there should be a repair shop near the elf center. Let's go there first." Shinpei searched on the map for a while, and quickly found what he wanted.

"You two go, don't bother me with such a trivial matter, I am a little interested in the Friendship Club, goodbye." Ah Xun said quickly, and ran out of the room before the two of them.

After walking for more than ten minutes, I finally found a repair shop marked "Maintenance" in a shop on the street.

The shop is not big, and several communicators are displayed in the most conspicuous counter, which are obviously second-hand goods that have been resold.

"Hey boss, can you fix the communicator? This communicator should be flooded, can it be restarted by replacing the battery?" Shinpei glanced at it and handed the communicator over.

The owner of the repair shop checked it out and said, "It can be repaired, but besides the battery, there is also a problem with the internal circuit. How about I give you a friendly price of 1500 alliance coins?"

Yumi took a step forward, and immediately asked: "Are you stealing money? I only bought this communicator for 4000. You just asked for a half, so you're not ashamed!"

The owner of the maintenance shop kept his face unchanged, and took out a bright phone from the counter and said, "So, you two handsome men and beauties, why don't you just buy a new one, the phone in the small shop has excellent performance, not only has the three-proof function, but also has a strong signal, even in mountainous areas. The signal is also available, and our store also provides a three-year warranty service!"

The boss's eyes were shining with the light of a money fan, and he recommended it attentively.There is no way to get money for repairs. These machines are recycled second-hand, and the surface is repaired and repainted by yourself. It looks no worse than the ones sold in stores.

Zhen Ping snorted coldly in his heart, he had seen many shops engaged in electronic repair business, especially in his original world, but he was ruthlessly tricked by profiteers in Digital City.

"Five hundred at most. If you can't fix it, I'll find another place to replace the battery." Shinpei said, the boss is probably cheating and cheating, seeing that the two of them are young people and want to make a fortune.

"All right, all right, but let me tell you first. I don't guarantee whether the battery will work after the battery is replaced. Once the battery is sold, it will not be returned or exchanged." The boss cursed and took out a well-packed battery from the counter, and simply disassembled it and put it into the communicator.

"Nong, look, the inside of this machine is broken. Water must have entered the inside. It can't be turned on now, and I can't return the battery. Chenghui 1000 union currency, cash or credit card?" A card reader was placed on the counter, and the boss smiled so that no fault could be found.

Shinpei was silent for a while, staring into the eyes of the man in front of him.

Obviously, this slippery shop owner insisted on getting some benefits from the two of them.Although the battery was taken out of the complete packaging bag, I am afraid that there is something wrong with it.

Zhen Ping pulled out the battery of the communicator again, and slammed it on the counter with a harsh crashing sound.

"My communicator is good. Guess if I change the battery, can my communicator turn on?" Shinpei took out his communicator with a half-smile, and waved it in front of the profiteer.

The profiteer "Gulu" swallowed his saliva. The two brats in front of him were really hard to deal with, and his hand was actually seen. Could it be that this pretty-looking kid is also a veteran?
"I have been repairing electrical appliances in this street for many years, and everyone can see my reputation. I am a small business and operate with integrity. If you insist on being a rascal here today, I can't afford to lose my old face. Let's go, let's treat it as a gift from me. It's so unlucky to open the first order..." The profiteer said while pulling down the rolling shutter door, and ran away at lightning speed.

"Ah... Ah Choo!" Standing in front of the closed shop, the two sneezed when a gust of cool wind blew past.

"What should I do now? This repair shop is too unreliable, it's a profiteer, almost got scammed!" Yu Meiqi mumbled, it was really unlucky to meet such a low moral guy.

Shinpei shook his head. In the city of Yuanzhi, the first thing he encountered was such a bad thing, and the goodwill accumulated in his heart for Yuanzhi City fell straight away.

"Okay, let's go back to the friendly store and see if it's the battery problem. If it doesn't work, I'll buy you a new one. I heard that a newest communicator has been installed recently, and it also has a camera function, which is very suitable for you."

After the two left, the profiteer who closed the door and ran away appeared out of nowhere, reopened the store, and started business.

A communicator popped up in his hand like a magic trick, and he giggled and said, "If I don't have two brushes, I can't get along. Although those two brats have some experience, they are still too young. Hehehe, this machine is of good quality, and Xiuxiu can sell it again."

It turned out that at some point, the communicator in Yumi's hand was secretly dropped when it was replaced by the owner of the maintenance shop. Both the returned machine and the battery were damaged.Even Zhenping hadn't noticed this trick.

"Go eat something first, this machine will be repaired when I come back." The profiteer put the stolen communicator into a hidden compartment in the cabinet, and then left to fill his stomach.

In the dark counter, the communicator that ran out of batteries actually restarted slowly amidst the long beeping sound.A few black lines crossed the screen of the communicator, and suddenly began to flicker continuously, as if something appeared in it.

Along with these abnormalities, other machines beside the communicator also showed similar abnormalities.

Five or six machines flickered, and a phone number full of 0s was dialed in, and the screen immediately switched to the answering interface.

"Zizi—Zizizi..."
