The Sabbath

"It takes 60 points to build a body, 2000 points to rent a house every month, and 200 points to buy a parking space for rhubarb. Our bodies can't eat ground beans all day long. We need to add some other nutrients from time to time when conditions permit. In this way, we need at least 300 points..." Rong Gui scratched the ground and settled the accounts: "In this way, we need to earn at least [-] points a month to survive in this city. If we want to save money for health... ..."

It's even more distant--

Ronggui didn't say this, and erased the formula drawn out earlier, he said to Xiaomei: "In short, let's find a job first, and make sure we can live in this city before we talk about it."

In this world that advocates human labor, there are still many job opportunities.

Since about 90.00% of the shops in the city are blacksmith shops, the jobs provided are basically related to blacksmithing.There is no labor market here, and there is no website that introduces jobs. If any shop is short of people, just hang a piece of paper and list the type of work, salary, and number of people needed. People who think they are suitable can directly go in for an interview. up.

The function of this piece of paper is not only for recruiting notices, sometimes the store owner will also write down the materials they lack, and also write down the extra materials. If someone happens to be short of such materials, they can enter the store and negotiate with the store owner.

His eyes quickly turned to the doorways of various shops, Ronggui was eager to try.

Ronggui was very excited, but Xiaomei poured cold water on him: "The dwarves are very xenophobic, they can't provide important jobs to outsiders, and this will spread the skills they depend on for a living."

"Is it possible? I see that many shops have put up notices to recruit people, and there is no restriction on them that they must be dwarves~

Hmm... The store in front is looking for a parts assembler. It looks like it requires a lot of craftsmanship. I'm sure I can't do it, but Xiaomei, you can give it a try!

As long as I can apply for a job in a blacksmith shop, I will be satisfied. I will take a look at the side, and when Xiaomei you make our body, I can help out by the side. "

Not discouraged even after being poured cold water, Ronggui decided to give it a try.

So next, Ronggui took Xiaomei to that shop to apply for a job.

It was a shop that sold mechanical fingers, and Ronggui had a good idea: working in this kind of place obviously saves energy, after all, Xiaomei's strength is not great, and what is mainly sold here are fingers and joints made of metal. If Xiaomei can work in this kind of shop, if she learns a little, she will make their fingers more delicate in the future.

Knowing how many weights he had, Ronggui made up his mind from the very beginning that he was the test taker, but he thought that Xiaomei's hands were so dexterous, so he would definitely be hired.

Who knows-

Xiaomei was banned from the beginning because Xiaomei did not have the qualifications of a second-level craftsman.

"What's that? Isn't it good enough if you have enough craftsmanship?" Rong Gui was puzzled.

"Who knows if your craftsmanship is good enough? We recruit people here to go to work directly. We are a high-end store and all we use are high-end materials. If you make a bad one, you will lose a lot of money. There is no such thing as a waste of spare money!" The person in charge of the recruitment was a big dwarf man, who was not tall but had a very violent temper. While talking to Ronggui, he quickly assembled a finger in his hand. His tone was rude, but his movements were extremely gentle. Not long after, a A very beautiful metal finger took shape in his hand.

Ronggui was stunned for a moment, then pulled Xiaomei out again for a while.

Then they went a few more stores and got rejected for the same issue.

"It seems that this second-level craftsman qualification certificate is very important." Ronggui silently remembered this term in his heart.

But in this way, Ronggui also gave up the idea of ​​finding a job in this kind of shop.

"It seems that, Xiaomei, you can only go to an ordinary blacksmith shop to find a job like me, but Xiaomei, you are so good, maybe you can get mixed up with the work of the main hammer!" The so-called "main hammer" is forging metal materials The main striker in the store is also the most experienced striker. In dwarf shops, the main hammer is generally held by a female dwarf. The main hammer does not need to use a lot of effort, but it is responsible for guiding the direction and strength of the blow. The hammer is the force.The so-called "main hammer" and "secondary hammer" were explained to him by Xiaomei.

Xiaomei glanced at him.

If that look had to be described in words, it would probably be: "You think too much".

Facts have proved that Ronggui really thought too much.

After applying to six blacksmith shops in a row, Ronggui and Xiaomei finally found a job in the seventh blacksmith shop: Xiaomei was in charge of pulling the bellows, and Ronggui was in charge of transporting fuel to the furnace and throwing it in.

The reason for getting a job is also very confusing: the automatic bellows in the shop are broken, and the fuel delivery device has not been repaired.

Ronggui: =-= Co-author, the two of them completely replace the machines to work.

However, after an afternoon of job hunting, it is not easy for them to find such a job. There are quite a lot of foreigners who come to work, and most of the foreigners who do not have enough money to buy things will work here for a while. Taller than them, he and Xiaomei lost in the competition of strength alone.

It was not easy to find another shop where two machines were broken at the same time. Besides, the salary offered by this shop was exactly 250 yuan a month for one person, and exactly [-] yuan for two people. Ronggui quickly accepted the job.

"Xiaomei, be careful when pulling the bellows here, the temperature is high, be careful not to burn yourself." The two people's workplaces are not in the same place. Before they were taken to another room, Ronggui warned He said to Xiaomei, he still didn't feel at ease after saying it several times, he took out a blanket from the small trailer and wrapped it around Xiaomei.In the end, he wet a piece of cloth and wrapped it around the left hand of Little Mera's bellows: "Be careful!"

After finishing everything that could be done, Ronggui left.

Leave Xiaomei...

He lowered his head to look at the dirty blanket wrapped around his body: it was the same carpet that was spread on the floor of his hometown before. Ronggui cherished his body. Every time he loads ores, he puts those ores on the trailer covered with blankets. Although the outer shell of the trailer is dilapidated, the inside of the trailer is still in good condition because of the protection of the blanket;

Xiaomei looked at the wet cloth on his left hand again: this cloth is something that Ronggui must carry with him every day. Although his body is very tattered, he must wipe it with this handkerchief whenever it gets dirty. As long as there is water, he must also wipe it every day. Wash the hand towel.

These two things are the only things that Ronggui always brings with him every time he goes out, but now, these two things are all on him.

After all, Xiaomei didn't get rid of these two things.

Pulling the bellows with his left hand, he started working.

The work of pulling the bellows seems simple and boring, but the speed and strength must be adjusted at any time according to the requirements of the owner. It may be really difficult for other novice to do this job well at one time, but it is not a big problem for Xiaomei.

At the end of the day, Xiaomei quickly adapted to work, but Ronggui——

Ronggui was fired.

While transporting fuel into the furnace, he accidentally stuck his right hand in.

The only right hand that was originally intact was instantly broken.

Half of the palm of the right hand was burned instantly, the little finger and ring finger were completely melted, leaving only the thumb, index finger and middle finger barely hanging on the other half of the palm, it looked very pitiful.

Ronggui who was carried out looked at Xiaomei pitifully.

"Let's go back." Standing up from the bellows without thinking, Xiaomei decided to take this idiot back.

"No!" Ronggui immediately refused.

Posing his miserable right hand, Ronggui said to Xiaomei: "Maybe this is the only shop with a broken bellows, I just go home by myself, Xiaomei, you should work hard here!"

While talking, Rong Gui earnestly gave him "winks" with the electronic imager.

Xiaomei: ...

Looking at Ronggui silently, Xiaomei finally sat back to her original position, pressed her left hand on the bellows again, looked at the wet cloth on it, and thought to herself: That idiot, without him, would he really be able to find his way home?In terms of recognizing the way, Ronggui is not as good as Rhubarb...

So, when Xiaomei was working next, her mind was full of Ronggui.

As soon as it was time to get off work, he immediately went home from get off work, and then, as soon as he went out——

He saw Ronggui hugging the small trailer beside the shop.

Ronggui: "Xiaomei, I didn't realize until I went out that I didn't know how to get home..."

really--

"Then just waited here for three hours?" Xiaomei rarely looked down on Ronggui.

Ronggui nodded.

Not surprised at all, but when she saw the other party, she was a little relieved, Xiaomei lifted Ronggui up.

Under the leadership of Xiaomei, the two robots turned around and finally found Dahuang who was still waiting in the parking lot. After getting on Dahuang, the two went home.

Come out together, still go back together.

That night, regardless of Ronggui's refusal, Xiaomei placed her right hand in Ronggui's hand.

"Only the left hand is enough to pull the bellows." His reason is this.

"But... hey..." Xiaomei held his right arm firmly in his hand, and Ronggui kept moving his body. Obviously, after losing his job, he was anxious about the living expenses of the two of them again.

"I'm sorry, I, I'm so stupid." Ronggui finally whispered.

"I have been clumsy since I was a child, and I can't do anything well..."

"But I'm good-looking, and the dean and teachers don't talk too much about me when I do something wrong, and I sing well..." Speaking of flying here, Ronggui became a little happier, but soon, thinking of now He became even more depressed: "It's useless to say this now, I don't have a body, and I don't sing well, and..."

Looking at his dilapidated mechanical body, the little robot didn't make a sound.

Xiaomei didn't speak, just put her right hand on Ronggui's right wrist bit by bit.

It wasn't until he finished screwing the last screw that he suddenly said: "Actually, there is a way to earn enough points for assembling two bodies at once."

"Ah?" Ronggui raised his head all of a sudden.

Xiaomei's eyes were still fixed on Ronggui's hand, and he said slowly: "Sell my body, although the mechanical body is widely used, but the most popular is still the real body, it is very valuable to dismantle and sell, my As for the body... the whole thing should be worth more—”

Before he finished speaking, Ronggui pressed his newly installed right hand firmly on his mouth.

Although there was only a horn there, even if it was pressed, it would be useless, but Ronggui pressed it according to human habits, as if if pressed there, Xiaomei would not be able to speak.

Big face approached Xiaomei, Ronggui stared at him, and then said word by word: "Dean, chief, said, want, foot, step, ground, earn, money, sell, body, what, what, the , think, also, no, want, think!"

It's rare to see Ronggui with such a serious and serious look, Xiaomei was stunned for a while, and finally nodded slowly under Ronggui's tight staring, and then he was let go.

Then Ronggui became the same as before.

Sitting on the spot and looking at his hands carefully, he suddenly turned his head and whispered to Xiaomei: "Actually, there were many people who wanted to buy me back then~ Among the same group of newcomers, my body has the highest price~"

"It must be because I'm the most handsome~"

"Hehehe~ Although I don't sell it, I'm still very happy knowing that I'm so valuable."

"I can't tell, so Xiaomei, you are quite confident in your body~"

Looking at Ronggui who became happy again for some inexplicable reason, Xiaomei: ...

This night, Ronggui told Xiaomei about all kinds of shady scenes in the world's entertainment industry before, and finally felt that he had hoped to strive to become a famous singer in the country, and even a famous singer in the world, but now...

"Probably we can only work towards the goal of being a well-known singer in the tower."

Ronggui who said this sighed, looking... a little funny.

Xiaomei thought.

Then Ronggui continued to swipe up and down to settle accounts, the more he calculated, the more sad he felt, the sadness in the little robot's heart almost materialized into the air.

Then, at this moment, the passes of the two people suddenly rang.

Because it is a family account, the passes of two people are considered at the same time. After one person is connected, the other person can also hear the voice on the other side.

So, after Xiaomei connected, Ronggui heard a female voice on the other side.

"It's the female dwarf who carried our car last time!" Ronggui whispered to Xiaomei immediately recognizing the other party's voice.

Xiaomei nodded, and the rest of the conversation was completely between Ronggui and the other party.

The purpose of the female dwarf's call is very simple: to go out of the city tomorrow, think of the good service of the two, and want to charter a car.

Looking at Xiaomei, Ronggui immediately agreed, discussed the pick-up location with the other party, and said goodbye politely, and then hung up the built-in phone of the pass.

"Xiaomei Xiaomei! Maybe I can be a driver! This way I can make money too!" Thinking of this, Ronggui stood up happily.

Then--

"Do you know the way?" Xiaomei only said one sentence, and Ronggui shrank immediately.

Previously, Xiaomei was the only person in charge of driving. Without Xiaomei, Ronggui didn't know any roads, not to mention he didn't have legs...

Ronggui looked down at his track, and then became even more frustrated.

"Let me modify it." Then, he heard Xiaomei continue talking.

"Ah! Do you want to modify me? Do we still have materials to modify me?" Ronggui immediately raised his head again.

Xiaomei turned her head indifferently: "No, transform rhubarb."

Now, Xiaomei has finally officially called the yellow car outside as Rhubarb.

Taking out her toolbox from the back room, Xiaomei took the lead and went downstairs to find Rhubarb.

Ronggui followed behind him, following every step.

So, that night, Xiaomei and Agui drove the night train. After spending most of the night, Xiaomei redesigned Dahuang's navigation system, adding positioning functions and automatic driving functions.

In this way, Ronggui only needs to sit on Rhubarb, and can do all the other Rhubarb.

"Hey...then...then what should I do?" After being excited for a long time, Ronggui finally thought of this question: Rhubarb has done everything, so why should he do it himself?

Xiaomei silently put away the tools, and took a last look at him: "You go to accompany Dahuang, and chat with the guests by the way."

Ronggui: ...I always feel that there is something wrong with this sentence.

However, even so, on the second day, he was still very happy to sit on Rhubarb. Rhubarb took him, he took the dwarf girl, and everyone went for a drive outside the city.

The navigation system designed by Xiaomei is really reliable. No matter how Rhubarb got there, he came back.

Due to the excellent service (← slow driving without nagging), and the fact that she helped carry a lot of goods back, the dwarf girl generously paid him 200 points as a reward, and made an appointment with Ronggui for the next trip .

Ronggui simply drew a multiplication on the ground, and did the calculation: Hey!In this way, Rhubarb's salary exceeds that of him and Xiaomei!

In this way, Da Huang's salary can not only pay his own parking fee, but also help him and Xiaomei pay off the rent, and by the way, he and Xiaomei's bodies can occasionally buy an apple or something...

The rhubarb is so doable!

Ronggui told Xiaomei the good news that night, and then, on the same night, Xiaomei silently improved the rhubarb modification a little more.
