Chapter 7 I Don't Need [-] Components
In the Babu District of Oort Star, if you want to say the most lively place, it must be the Babu District Bazaar.

In Jiang Lin's previous life, there were also such markets in remote places, but at that time the markets were held regularly, such as during Chinese New Year or weekends.

The market in Babu District is located on a street on the outermost east side of the entire Babu District.Jiang Lin once heard from Aunt Liz that in the 100 years since Oort Star became a garbage star, there were only one or two small stalls buying waste on this street. , so many people will go there directly to sell after returning from the dump.

Over time, there are more and more stalls on that street, and they have gradually formed a scale. Now there are still many vendors on the entire market street, but there are also many shops with facades.

The people in the market were the most crowded at noon, and it was pretty so-so at the moment. Occasionally, there would be some quarreling sounds from the shops and stalls on both sides. Jiang Lin knew it without looking, and it must be because the price was not suitable.

There are not many rich people on Oort Star. Before Oort Star became a garbage star, the local tyrants and rich people on this planet almost ran away. Later, a group of people with small assets also went. Other planets, so from that time on, on Oort, apart from the poor, there are even poorer people.

They can fight for a little bit of rubbish, not to mention selling rubbish for money, or using federal currency to buy things, but whenever they think the price is inappropriate, they will quarrel, and sometimes even bargaining seems to be curse.

Jiang Lin didn't pay much attention to other people, he didn't like the market place.Of course, it wasn't because he was stolen the first time he came here, but because most people don't like chaos by nature, and they have a natural rejection of chaos.

With a sullen face, Jiang Lin walked around the market with twists and turns, and soon came to the end of the market.There is an unassuming shop here.

Yes, although the store is small, it is still a shop with houses, not a mobile stall on the street.The name of the store is a few crooked federal unified characters - Cripple Thrift Store.

When Jiang Lin walked into the shop, the entire shop was dimly lit. With this unclear light, it was still possible to see that there were no other customers in the shop, only a thin old man sitting at the counter behind.

Seeing Jiang Lin enter the room, the old man did not show any warm reception, but said in a lifeless hoarse voice: "There are less than [-] components, so I won't accept them. It doesn't matter how many times you come, rules are rules."

Jiang Lin complained in his mind that for a second-hand goods collector on a junk planet, he kept his mouth shut, so he thought he was some kind of rich man.Although he was complaining crazily in his heart, Jiang Lin still had a smile on his face.

"Uncle Cripple, I've made up two hundred components this time." Jiang Lin patted his bag while speaking.

The old man didn't seem to want to pay attention to Jiang Lin, he just hummed and asked, "I don't want the bad ones."

"It's not the first time for me to sell components. They must have been inspected. If you don't believe me, order." Jiang Lin put the bag on the counter and carefully took out the bag containing the components.

Only then did the old man raise his head, first glanced at Jiang Lin, then slowly picked up the bag containing the components, and limped to a corner of the shop.In the corner sits a semi-circular transparent object with a large metal base beneath it.At first glance, that thing looks like a glass bowl placed on an electronic scale in the market.

The cripple poured the contents of the bag directly into the glass bowl, and then he pressed a blue button next to the base, only to hear a buzzing sound, and the components in the glass bowl lit up one by one.The cripple tilted his head and swept around the glass bowl, and the bowl was shining with light.

At the same time, the word 200 appeared on the metal base of the glass bowl.The cripple seemed to be quite satisfied, nodded his head slightly, and then he pressed the blue button again, and after another buzzing sound, the light of the components in the glass bowl went out.

"Two hundred first-level components, a total of two hundred federal currency. Cash, or credit card?" The lame man limped back behind the counter again, and then came out with this sentence.

Wait..., wait, the number seems to be wrong, Jiang Lin asked suspiciously: "Uncle Cripple, isn't this price right? The last time I came here was the purchase price of two federal coins."

"Last time?" The cripple grinned, "Why didn't you say the year before last? It was worth three federal coins each."

"Uncle Cripple, it's not the first time I've sold things with you, you can't cheat like this, can you?" Jiang Lin was very displeased.

The cripple raised his chin, "Go and see the board at the door, on which is written today's purchase price. If you are not satisfied, you can take this bag of components back."

Jiang Lin knew that although the cripple's attitude was not very good every time, he had never cheated himself over the years, but the original four hundred federal coins had shrunk by half, which he really couldn't accept.

"Are you asking for money? Or take the things back? Give me a quick word and don't delay my business." The cripple said impatiently.

Jiang Lin thought for a while, then gritted his teeth and said, "Sell."

Then, Jiang Lin's wristband computer made a jingle, and then there was a reminder message that the Federation currency had arrived.

Jiang Lin sighed, and was about to leave when he heard the cripple say from behind: "From now on, don't bring first-class components, I won't accept those things in the future."

These words stopped Jiang Lin in his tracks, "Why...don't accept this all of a sudden?"

The cripple said angrily, "They won't buy this anymore, so what do I need these rags for? Is it for food?"

Only then did Jiang Lin walk to the board of the cripple's shop to see what things could be bought recently.

"If you have miniature photonic components, I'll pay you fifteen federal coins for each. Don't blame me for not reminding you. These things have been very popular recently."

Jiang Lin frowned when he heard about the miniature photonic components. He can indeed make this thing, but the failure rate is too high. It is not bad if he succeeds once in ten times. Counting the waste of materials, he does not know how much , where is it cost-effective to make a first-level component.

However, Cripzi made it clear that he would no longer accept first-class components in the future. If Cripzi stopped accepting a certain item in this market, it meant that no one in the entire market wanted this item, so Jiang Lin did not need to bother looking for other acquisitions. Scrap shop.

While thinking this way, Jiang Lin came to the outside of the shop, and just a few steps away, he saw a tall and strong man coming towards him in the distance.

Instinctively, Jiang Lin hid behind the pillar next to the signboard. The strong man was none other than Cato.

Cato was still dressed as usual, with a waistcoat, trousers, and a pair of big-toed leather boots. His dark red hair was combed into small braids and tied behind his head.

"Mission target detected, Jiang Lin hurry up and complete the novice mission." The system's mechanical sound rang at this time.

Jiang Lin shouted in his mind, "No."

"You can get a novice gift pack after you complete the novice task. I heard that the content is very rich." The system continued to lobby.

"Who did you hear?"

"Hmm... how about you guess?"
