"I've seen truly smart maintenance masters who can discern an entire page at a glance. Just because you can't do it doesn't mean others can't."

The saying "colleagues are like enemies" rings true. This person also applied for B-level maintenance master certification but failed. Still, he doesn't think he's inferior.

The B-level maintenance master smirked indifferently, "Really, who are you talking about?"

The man replied casually, "Master Luo Lin, the only female A-level maintenance master."

"No way?" The B-level maintenance master looked at him in surprise, "You actually know Master Luo Lin?"

Geng Shougong had a bit of doubt at first: Is this guy reviewing the data?

After hearing the two converse, he relaxed: True, genius worlds are beyond me.

Qu Jianlei finished browsing the compiled data in less than twenty minutes.

He didn't express any opinion but furrowed his brow for two minutes, then picked up the document to review again.

This time, his selection was much clearer, so it took altogether... an hour and a half.

After setting down the document, he pondered for almost five minutes, then spoke up, "Alright, I have a plan."

"What plan?" The B-level maintenance master couldn't help but ask, "Can we discuss it?"

Qu Jianlei glanced at him and shook his head, "It's just a diagnostic plan, no need for discussion."

He wasn't deaf or blind, with particularly good hearing, clearly aware that the other wasn't very friendly towards him?

He had no intention of caring; situations like this among peers are perfectly normal, just ignore them.

Then, he pulled out seven or eight documents and handed them to the staff, "Could you hold these for me?"

Next, he held a more than one-meter-long alloy rod and walked around the heating station.

He tapped here and there with the rod, occasionally stopping to review documentation.

After about an hour and a half, with twilight approaching, he handed in his findings.

There were six fault points and thirteen risk items, with three risks needing urgent attention or they too would fail.

Of these six fault points, four had already been analyzed by the maintenance masters, and another was included in the inspection suggestions.

Yet one was truly overlooked by everyone, for a simple reason — it was at the output component.

Detecting the equipment's output part was easy and convenient to repair, leaving it overlooked.

Of the thirteen risk items, nine had already been deduced, awaiting validation through detection.

The remaining four, three belonged to non-critical components, but the last one surprised everyone.

"How is this possible?" The B-level maintenance master refused to believe, "It's a part we replaced last summer."

The one who had just challenged him spoke up, "New parts can't have risks? Just take it apart and inspect it, right?"

"Yeah," someone chimed in, "only inspecting a few points should indeed be easy."

Qu Jianlei had identified nineteen issues in total, but frankly, this number wasn't high.

The maintenance masters provided a variety of suggestions, with detection projects numbering in the hundreds!

Detection requires time, although some tests can run concurrently, but there are only so many maintenance masters.

No matter how fast, speed remains constrained.

Additionally, dismantling these hundreds of projects for inspection is itself a massive undertaking, quite costly.

The heating for Settlement's residents would also be severely affected.

The B-level maintenance master couldn't deny this but remained stubborn, "Can you guarantee these cover all faults?"

Several maintenance masters regarded him oddly: Was this question a bit too lowbrow?

Qu Jianlei exhaled, "If there are more issues, then just continue inspecting... I've only listed some major components."

As a maintenance master, who dares claim they've identified all issues? Pointing out most major component issues is commendable.

The B-level maintenance master heard the undertone in his response, becoming more agitated.

"The items you mentioned, they're not necessarily all problematic."

"Do they have issues? Just inspect them, won't you?" That colleague rebutted him again, "This output fault is easily checked."

The output fault, unexpectedly overlooked by all, proved representative.

It needed a shutdown for inspection, but being external equipment, downtime wasn't long.

Even with replacing parts, it took no more than half an hour, barely impacting residents.

"Check them," the B-level maintenance master fumed but emphasized one point, "Even if faulty, it doesn't mean he's entirely correct."

Qu Jianlei couldn't be bothered with the noise and turned to Geng Shougong, "The job's done, about that remaining fee?"

"Remaining fee..." Geng Shougong was a bit nervous too, swallowing impulsively, "Are you sure you identified all faults?"

"Why ask such an amateur question?" Qu Jianlei looked at him perplexed, "Finding the primary faults suffices, doesn't it?"

Geng Shougong blushed, "Alright then, let's talk another issue... isn't six hundred silver coins insufficient for such a short time?"

Qu Jianlei stared at him blankly for a while, then sighed, "I reviewed all those diagnostic proposals..."

"Even without opting for all, just any one... how many silver coins would that cost?"

Geng Shougong pondered, yet still answered boldly, "But you only used less than half a day, so the fee..."
