The Sabbath

Looking at Ronggui who was placed with a pile of "garbage", Xiaomei's expression did not change at all.

In eight hours, he did go far, far away, the surroundings were dark, and there were countless branch roads in the narrower and narrower mine, like a huge maze. In order to be able to return accurately, Xiaomei made a mark of.

In reality, however, he ended up not using those marks.

He came back bit by bit following Ronggui's "singing voice".

In the narrow corridor, Ronggui's ordinary robot standard voice also became transparent and ethereal, sometimes disappearing, faintly visible, no matter where he went, he could always hear Ronggui's voice.

Like a thread, Ronggui is always on the other end.

He wouldn't say that Ronggui's voice actually sounded a little pleasant after being filtered through layers of narrow mines.

It's like the audio disc he played in the room in the White Tower not long ago.

Then no matter where he is, there is always a singing sound that seems to be absent.

Probably because of this reason, he found a familiar rhythm again, and spent a full eight hours on observation and digging, and it passed quickly.

He doesn't feel lonely, and the loneliest place is not here.

He looked at the sky—

But it's just dark there now.

Then he went on working.

"Xiaomei Xiaomei, how much ore have you dug?" Ronggui's voice finally interrupted his moment of contemplation.

The searchlight on the miner's hat on Ronggui's head shone brightly on him. After a short period of darkness caused by the transformation of the visual system, when he was able to see again, he actually felt that this place and just now were two different places.

"..." Without saying a word, Xiaomei just turned her body slightly so that Ronggui could see the pouch around her waist.

It was the pocket that was used to hold the necessary supplies for miners, and Xiaomei fled out of it as garbage.

Now that pocket is bulging and looks full.

"Wow! It looks like a lot! As expected of Xiaomei, she started mining for the first time!" Ronggui immediately praised.

Xiaomei did not refute.

Pick up Ronggui's head, put it back into the backpack and hang it on his chest, then turn over the small pannier on the ground and put it on his back, throwing all the things on the ground, he was about to leave, when Ronggui yelled Hou called him again.

"There is still so much food here! Take it, and our radio! This must be taken, I have to charge it when I go back~"

Looking at the "garbage" that was useless to him on the ground, after a pause, Xiaomei finally squatted down to pick them up, and then threw them all into the small basket behind her.

Only now Ronggui was satisfied.

They arrived at the elevator entrance on time 3 minutes before the designated time, and there was no one there. At first, Ronggui was a little worried about whether they were being released, but he was relieved when other miners appeared from afar.

The other people's baskets were either full or half full, compared to Xiaomei who had only a small pocket of ore, and the ones who harvested the least were more than Xiaomei.

But it's Xiaomei's first time~

I'm afraid that Xiaomei will lose confidence...

Ronggui was worried for a while, and soon, he heard the sound of the elevator behind him, as well as the sound of familiar music, accompanied by the sound of the door opening, a bright room appeared strangely in the middle of the dark mine again, the miner They walked in one after another, the elevator doors closed, and then went up quickly.

There was still nothing in the room, and the miners seemed to be tired. They all sat in their seats, and no one spoke.

It was too quiet, and Ronggui didn't dare to make a sound.

He hummed softly in his heart to the music in the room.

This deadly silence ended after 10 minutes, when Ronggui just hummed the last note in his heart, the music in the room stopped at the same time, the elevator door opened, and a man entered inside.

Ronggui took a look: he is still an acquaintance, the tall man at the door!

"Okay, it's time to receive the goods." Holding a big bag in his big hand like a cattail fan, he just walked in with such a big face.

Headed by the leading miner, the other miners immediately lined up in order, so that Xiaomei could only be the last one.

Fortunately, they didn't compete for a minute and a half. During this time, I just saw the results of other people~

"...a germanium rough stone, the quality is not very good, I'll give you 6 points, this black field stone is big enough, 20. Sani..." The tall man quickly calculated, Ronggui didn't see him What testing equipment is used, is it all judged by eyes?How much do you know how to read this?Or is this just nonsense...

Ronggui was a little worried: What if he lost his eye when showing Xiaomei the stone~

Here, Ronggui's mind was full of inexplicable and out-of-the-box questions, but Xiaomei observed the ore mined by others with a cold expression, and calculated the points everyone got in the end.

Obviously, the order of the teams is based on the order of the total points obtained.

They lined up like this from the beginning, and the test results are still in this order, which shows that the results of each test are similar.

Mining ore really depends more on the eyesight to distinguish ore, and the probability of being able to rely on luck is extremely rare.

And that tall man should be the manager of this mine pit. From the details of his hands, it can be seen that he should also be a miner. However, other miners are still miners, but he has become the manager.

This shows that in Erni City, there are still other career outlets besides miners, but they just don't understand the promotion and selection mode.

It doesn't matter, you can take your time—although the things you think about are irrelevant, but in the end, the last thought in Ronggui's mind strangely overlaps with Xiaomei's.

"Okay, newcomer, it's your turn...you." The tall man's bag was full, but he threw more on the ground. Those were naturally the ore he judged to be worthless, and the miners who dug it It didn't mean to put it away, just let them lie on the ground.

The other miners hadn't left yet, and stood indifferently near the door, Ronggui guessed that they probably wanted to see Xiaomei's harvest ← just to evaluate the newcomer's strength.

So Xiaomei went out to dig ore in full view.

The ore dug out by Xiaomei has a great feature: it is small.

Other people's ores are all big pieces, but when it comes to Xiaomei's place, they are basically the size of the palm of Xiaomei's own palm, and the largest piece is also a circle smaller than Ronggui's head. As for the small ones... just Only the size of an egg.

If he had a hand, Ronggui would almost hide his face.

Even if he is a layman, he also knows that it is easier to store rough stones in large ores, right?Anyway, the probability is higher, such a small ore...

Why!I blame myself for tossing my body to pieces, Xiaomei must not be able to carry it! ! ! ! !

Ronggui yelled inwardly.

Sure enough, a miner went out of the room at that time-[-]% felt that there was no need to continue watching.

Although the others were still there, they also started to pack their things.

On the contrary, the little leader of the miners who was in charge of leading the way was still watching, while the tall manager stretched out his big hand, and first took a piece of ore the size of an egg from Xiaomei's palm:

"Well... this one... not."

Then Xiaomei handed out the second egg... no, it was the second ore.

"This one...Unfortunately, there is none."

The ores in Xiaomei's purse were handed out one by one. With the judgment results of "no" and "no", more and more miners in the room walked. After hearing the judgment of the last ore, finally, the miner The little leader of the miners also walked out mercilessly. In the end, only the tall manager, Xiaomei and Ronggui... the big bosses were left in the room.

The judgment result of the last ore was slightly better, and it contained a lot of Kuroda stone, so Xiaomei got two points.

Of all the miners who went out today, his harvest was the least.

But he didn't care, and the administrator obviously didn't care too much, just asked lazily: "Take out your pass, and I'll give you the points now."

The pass is the salary card, which is very versatile here.

Xiaomei took out Ronggui's bag, and took out two passports after a while: "Can I earn one point for each passport?"

"Huh?" The administrator seemed to be taken aback.

Ronggui was also taken aback.

Of the two passports in Xiaomei's hand, one is naturally Xiaomei's, while the other is...

is his!

But he didn't yell loudly, ask Xiaomei or refute or anything at this time.

A little uneasy, Ronggui looked at Xiaomei's chin timidly.

"No." The administrator said in denial: "If the points can be transferred back and forth, then people in this place must grab them every day. We don't care about the battles among the miners, but everyone doesn't care about it. If we work hard, it will be difficult for us.”

"So the points are basically non-transferable."

"You just said that the transfer is basically prohibited, so there are also situations where it can be transferred." Grasping the key words, Xiaomei asked again.

"..." After a moment of silence, the man suddenly smiled.

"You are really smart, you know that your strength is not great, and you also know that the probability of digging ore for the first time is extremely low, not to mention that as a newcomer, you can't get any good mines.

I simply gave up the hope of finding the ore, and chose to classify the ore in the mine. A small piece of ore of a type can be used as a sample. You bring them here because I can help identify them.

Very clever way, among so many miners who come here, you are the second one to do so. "

Listening to the administrator's slow narration, Ronggui was dumbfounded: My God!Totally unexpected!

Sorry—Xiaomei, I'm not your confidant! ! ! !

However, it is said that people with the same IQ are not good friends. Smart people generally like idiots, and they really need a idiot as a friend. For example, now, another smart person—the administrator obviously wants someone to talk to. Xiaomei, who was still smart, didn't respond coldly. At this time, he needed someone who was not too smart to take up the conversation with empathy.

Therefore, Ronggui asked decisively: "Hey? Has someone done this before? Who is that person!"

Fully displaying his good acting skills, Rong Gui asked innocently and cutely.

Then the administrator was really happy: "Hehe, it's me."

Sure enough—Ronggui thought to himself, I knew you wanted to take this opportunity to show off.

However, it is rare to see someone using the method I have used. The administrator is in a good mood and continues to point them out: "Ordinary people's points cannot be transferred, but families can. Points are an important tool for traveling to other cities. In order to allow a family to act together, the points within the family can be transferred to each other."

"However, corresponding to this, when receiving various punishments, it is also for all family members. This is also to prevent someone from taking advantage of this loophole."

"How, do you two want to open a family joint account?"

Ronggui was stunned.

Then, he heard Xiaomei say coldly: "Yes."

"Okay, it just so happens that the machine here has the authority to open a family account, so I will open it for you now?"

"it is good."

"After driving, no matter how many points you earn, half of them will be shared equally with another member of the family, are you sure?"

"determine."

Xiaomei's answer was very fluent, so the manager didn't ask any more questions, and quickly opened an account for him. The next second, when the card was handed over to Xiaomei again, although the card looked the same, the information inside The information has changed dramatically.

If there is a heart, Ronggui's heartbeat must be very fast now.

Will it jump out with a plop?

But now that he has no heart, he can only stare blankly at Xiaomei's... chin.

"Okay, then I'm leaving, you guys should leave quickly, the next batch of workers is going to work." Picking up the heavy bag, the man was about to retreat.

"Can I take these ores away?" Xiaomei stopped him, and then pointed to the ores she dug out on the ground.

"Yes, but it will take a while to come to my place to type the stamp."

"Thank you! Thank you!" Ronggui immediately thanked Xiaomei for him.

With a wave of his hand, the man staggered away.

Then Xiaomei squatted on the ground and picked up the ore thrown on the ground one by one.

After picking up his own, he also went to see the ore abandoned by others.

"Xiao, Xiaomei, why do you want to read other people's ores? Is there anything missing?" Not knowing what to say, Ronggui could only find a topic.

"That person's eyesight is very accurate, there is no possibility of omissions. I am just observing what other people's ores are judged to have no minerals. In the future, when such ores are excavated, I can ignore them." While looking at the stones, Xiaomei side replied.

"Oh!" Ronggui was quiet for a while, and then——

"Xiao, Xiaomei, why do you want to set up a family account with me? That...that..."

"Your body is broken and you need new materials. We have to go to other cities to obtain new materials that cannot be provided here, so you must have enough points to go to the new city."

"And with you now..." Xiaomei said, looking down at Ronggui's big head from above: "I guess you can only sell your other body in the freezer to save enough points to go to the next city. You want to do this Do?"

"No! Why would I sell my real body to repair a robot's body!" Rong Gui immediately refused.

"So it can only be used in the form of a family account at present."

"Uh...that's right..."

It seems that something is right, and it seems that something is wrong, Ronggui thought for a long time but couldn't figure it out.

He didn't know, at this moment, even Xiaomei, who made this decision, didn't understand.

For Xiaomei, he just made the simplest choice in this situation.

In a short time, before he figured it out, before he found a replacement, he still needed Ronggui's freezer, and the damage to Ronggui's mechanical body was also directly related to him. He didn't want to owe the other party favors, he just wanted to make up for it. Just pay it off.

It's just a choice.

But for Ronggui, there is an extra "home".

After thinking and thinking, Ronggui smiled foolishly.

Starting today, he and Xiaomei are no longer just friends.

They are family now.
