Chapter 268 I Pretend to Be Myself(2/3)
So, is Central City really retaining all the technology from before the apocalypse?
The landing speed was very fast. About ten minutes after the announcement, the aircraft landed, the window flaps opened, and the cabin door also opened.
Qu Jianlei and other passengers in the luxury cabin came out first, followed by their carry-on luggage.
He looked around and found that it was similar to Blue Star's airport. What was rare was that the sky was blue and the air quality was very good.???.
There was already a shuttle bus waiting in front, and everyone got on the shuttle bus and drove all the way to the building in the distance.
Tickets were required to be checked when leaving the airport, but after Qu Jianlei and Xiao Qin showed their certificates, the ticket inspector waved them through.
Xiao Qin parked a car in the parking lot outside the airport. It was actually an off-road vehicle. It looked shiny and full of urban atmosphere.
But what Qu Jianlei cares more about is the cityscape in the distance.
It's not the kind with many high-rise buildings, it feels more like the hollowed-out city on Blue Star.
There are high-rise buildings, but not many. Most of the buildings are four to six stories, and buildings above ten stories are not common.
Xiao Qin found him in the car observing the city, so he stuck his head out and said, "Get in the car... are you nostalgic?"
With her size, it's not inappropriate to drive an off-road vehicle.
Qu Jianlei put his backpack on the car, which made the entire off-road vehicle sink slightly. Xiao Qin subconsciously glanced at the dashboard.
"Oh my god, it's more than 800 kilograms... If you don't bring a certificate, the transportation fee alone will be enough to make you feel distressed."
Qu Jianlei sat on the passenger seat and asked aloud, "How much does it cost to buy an off-road vehicle like yours now?"
"More than three thousand," Xiao Qin replied lightly.
"Ordinary vehicles are cheaper, but due to the nature of the inspection office's work... off-road vehicles are just the minimum requirement."

Chapter 146 Private Customization (Second update to celebrate the cute sea lion)
Qu Jianlei said calmly, "Your salary is quite large... If you put it in Tianzi District, it would cost about two kilograms of gold."
"Gold is more expensive than you think in Central City," Xiao Qin replied casually, "One kilogram of gold is enough."
Qu Jianlei fell silent. Sure enough, the existence of the settlement below was for Central City to suck blood.
Thinking of this, he was in no mood to speak, but Xiao Qin asked, "Go to the place with the deed?"
"Thank you," Qu Jianlei replied solemnly, "I will pay the fare."
"Do I owe you this little gas money?" Xiao Qin snorted, "Please report the address of the land deed."
You have to return this favor later! Qu Jianlei casually reported the location of the land deed.
Xiao Qin was stunned for a moment, then shook his head, "That president... is really rich."
Later, Qu Jianlei learned that the land was close to the commercial district and the price was much higher than that of mid- to high-end residential buildings.
After driving for more than two hours, we finally arrived at our destination.
Qu Jianlei noticed that there were not many cars on the road, more motorcycles, but most were human-powered bicycles.
But when he arrived at the door of the store, he was a little confused, "What is this...seal?"
"Electromagnetic seal," Xiao Qin stepped out of the car, his face a little ugly, "I still have to apply for unsealing... what's going on!"
Qu Jianlei blinked his eyes and said in shock, "What should I do with this procedure?"
"Let me handle it," Xiao Qin rubbed his forehead in distress, "You can only stay in the hotel today."
Qu Jianlei asked aloud, "Is there a hotel near the inspection office? It needs to be of similar quality."
There are too many valuables in his backpack, and he must not feel guilty about spending money at this time.
"Yes," Xiao Qin replied simply, "you'd better buy some more clothes or something else, otherwise you'll be easily interrogated."
The inspection office is more than twenty kilometers away from here, half an hour's drive, and that's assuming there's no traffic jam.
Six to seven hundred meters away from the inspection office, there is a high-end hotel, which is a group of buildings.
The floors are not very high, and the highest main building is only six floors, but it is surrounded by flowers and trees, and it looks very high-end at first glance.
When the doorman at the door saw Qu Jianlei's clothes, his face darkened slightly, as if he didn't want to receive him.
Xiao Qin stretched his wrist out of the car window and shook it twice. When the doorman saw the silver bracelet, his expression changed and he hurriedly jogged forward.
He raised his hand to pick up Qu Jianlei's backpack, but he almost lost his waist.
He lifted it hard again, his expression changed again, and he said with a wry smile, "Sir, your bag is a bit heavy."
Qu Jianlei picked up his bag with one hand and said expressionlessly, "I want to register for a better room, lead the way."
He booked a suite, and the price was only about forty silver dollars. For a moment, he felt that the consumption in Central City was not very expensive.
Putting his backpack in the room, he took a small bag and went out to do some shopping.
First I bought clothes, then I bought a map, then I got a haircut, and finally I bought some accessories.
He actually doesn't like these superficial articles, but if they appear too different, it will attract others' attention.
Then he discovered the fact that although Central City looked a bit old, it had a very rich life at night.
Under the flashing neon lights, dance halls, bars, hypermarkets, and night markets abound.
There are even people performing on the street, which is very lively.
However, there are a lot of cameras here. Although they are not as good as those in the lively cities of Blue Star, they are enough to scare Xiaoxiao.
Qu Jianlei had no interest in entertainment venues, but he entered a brightly lit store to see what else he wanted to buy.
Then he was shocked to find that he entered a high-end shopping mall, and a piece of clothing could be sold for four to five hundred... Who would dare to believe this?
When he was at Blue Star, he was not interested in famous brands.
However, considering that he wanted to live in Central City, he still bought several sets of clothes, which cost him several thousand in banknotes.
He was determined not to buy any decorations, so he turned around and walked out.
A slightly chubby young girl had been paying attention to him for a long time and walked up to him.
She showed what she thought was a sweet smile and said, "Hello, sir, do you need a private order?"
Her appearance is relatively recognized by the mainstream aesthetics in Central City, so she dared to take the initiative to strike up a conversation.
Qu Jianlei spent thousands of silver dollars just in this store. Who can't tell that he is a high-roller?
This money is more than enough to buy an off-road vehicle like Xiao Qin, but vehicles are tools and clothes are just daily necessities. Can they be compared?
Qu Jianlei stopped when he heard this and said thoughtfully, "What is this private order? Is it custom-made clothes?"
The girl was a little stunned, but she still nodded, "Customized clothes... are also possible, but they are very expensive."
"How expensive is it?" Qu Jianlei asked curiously. He has broad shoulders and a narrow waist, and his clothes generally don't fit well.
"This... I want to know something about it," the girl replied hesitantly, "What level of master are you looking for?"
Qu Jianlei was surprised at this, "Then this private customization of yours... what is it?"
The girl's eyes lit up, "Everything can be customized. As long as you have needs, I will solve it."
Qu Jianlei blinked and seemed to understand, but he didn't seem to understand.
He tilted his head and thought for a moment, then said, "Are they all the requirements?"
"Yes," the girl nodded and said very simply, "I still have a car, you don't need to use your own car."
This rhetoric... is rather strange. Qu Jianlei vaguely guessed the other party's profession. Is he greedy for my body?
But he won't take the initiative to point it out. If he guesses wrong, won't he offend the other party?
So he asked directly, "Then how much does this customization cost?"
"One hundred silver dollars a day," the girl replied very simply, "I will pay for the car and myself, and you will pay for the rest."
Qu Jianlei was stunned when he heard this, "One hundred silver dollars...is it so expensive?"
"You can order a set meal," the girl replied without hesitation, "If you stay for three days, you'll get a 30% discount."
"50% off for more than five days, and 30% off for more than ten days."
Qu Jianlei thought for a while, nodded slightly, "Okay, let's start from now on?"
"If it's more than three days, you can get it tonight," the girl said without hesitation, "but you have to pay a deposit of twenty silver dollars."
"Okay," Qu Jianlei took out two ten silver dollar bills and handed them to the other party, "First, help me find a tailor who can alter my clothes."
"Tailor?" The girl was stunned, then nodded, "No problem, just wait here for twenty minutes."
She didn't take the bill, turned around and trotted away.
The clerk selling clothes looked at this scene with a strange expression and remained silent.
Not long after, the girl ran back and said, "I found it, but if you change the name brand, the processing fee will be 10% and 20% of the original price."
"This request is very reasonable," Qu Jianlei nodded, "but if the effect is not good, I will refuse to pay."
"No problem," the girl took the banknote and said seriously, "But whether the effect is good or not depends on your conscience."
