femme fatale [unlimited]
Chapter 156
The NPCs thought it was a hard job. After learning about the salary, some people asked in disbelief, "120 boxes? Is this too much?"
The man shrugged frankly, "You don't have to do it, if you don't do it, get out of the way, there are people here who want to do it."
Ning Mianmian heard this very familiarly, and sure enough, no matter where he went, the capitalists were just as unscrupulous.
Some people tried to bargain with the man: "The salary is so low, it should include board and lodging."
For many people, eating and drinking water in the City of Happiness is not a small expense. Even if they only eat two compressed biscuits and drink two bottles of mineral water a day, it costs 20 silver coins.
What's more, doing physical work consumes a lot of energy, and the intake of food and water may have to double than usual to maintain the normal functioning of the body.
"Food and lodging included? Are you here to have fun?"
The man raised his eyebrows, and his tone was very disdainful, "Before making a request, why not think about the situation you were in before you came, and then ask yourself what you have done for the city of happiness, and whether you are qualified to negotiate conditions."
Seeing the change in the man's attitude, the person who asked the question resentfully said, "I, I just want to survive..."
"If you want to survive, you have to work hard. Are you still waiting for the pie to fall from the sky?"
The man was a little impatient, and said coldly, "Some people don't want to work hard, they always want to find shortcuts. If you have time to bargain here, why don't you pack a few more boxes on the car."
"If there is no objection, you can start working. Gloves, shovels, igniters... and various other tools are ready and placed there. The quantity is sufficient. Don't think about playing tricks, our surveillance The system has top-notch technology, which will automatically capture the number of your boxes, and you can go to the machine over there to collect your salary every half an hour, or you can save a few hours to get a salary."
After that, he turned and left, walked into the room, and closed the door with a "bang".
Less than half a minute after the man left, someone rushed to the garbage mountain with two empty boxes and started filling the boxes with garbage.The man only had a 1L oxygen cylinder hanging on his waist, so he seemed extremely anxious.
He quickly carried six large boxes over there, then rolled up his sleeves and began to fill them with waste one by one.
The three of Ning Mianmian put on their gloves, and started to move the boxes to the garbage mountain. They planned to work for a while to earn some silver coins, and by the way, they could also take the opportunity to inquire about news with other NPCs.
As a game player, his physical strength is much higher than that of an NPC. Generally, NPCs can only take two boxes at a time, but they directly insert the bottom of the box into the groove on the top of the box, and move it into a high stack.
Soon the rows of boxes were filled, the blue flames were dancing, and the surrounding air gradually heated up.The waste twisted and melted silently in the box, turning into black coke.
There are six heavy-duty trucks parked in a corner of the open space, each of which can hold hundreds of boxes by visual inspection.The three worked together and worked hard for more than an hour. Each of them packed forty or fifty boxes.If it weren't for the long time required for waste incineration, it should be able to hold more.
There are two teams of players at this recruitment point, the efficiency is a little slower, but it is also much faster than ordinary NPCs, which makes those NPCs look at them and the players with amazement and jealousy.If it weren't for the prohibition of violence in the city and the fact that they couldn't beat them, these people would definitely grab the money.
About two hours later, Ning Mianmian ignored those stares of different shapes and sizes, walked to the machine and brushed her face. The machine made a "beep" sound, and then a lot of silver coins fell out with a crackle. It looks like a coin vending machine in a video game city.
After one morning, the three of them received a lot of goods, with a total of 1173 silver coins.
After receiving the money, Ning Mianmian did the math. She had observed other NPCs receiving wages just now. Their per capita income was about five times that of NPCs. NPCs could only earn about 60 silver coins if they worked all morning.
In the City of Happiness, if you want to ensure the supply of oxygen, you need to earn at least 240 silver coins every day.In other words, an ordinary person needs to work more than 12 hours.With the exhaustion of physical strength, people's efficiency will gradually decrease. It is not bad to complete the goal within 15 hours. In addition, it is not easy to earn money for food and water.
Xiao Yun sighed at the side: "Tsk, it really is an evil capitalist."
Ning Mianmian calmly said: "Forget it, let's not talk about this. First think about how to spend the money, we almost need to fill up the oxygen."
At first, each of them bought 5L of oxygen. At this time, the pointer on the bottle showed that there was only about 1L left.
Lin Cen suggested: "Fill up the oxygen and buy a few more oxygen cylinders."
Anyway, there is a surplus of silver coins now, so it is always good to prepare more.They won't be caught off guard if a follow-up "catastrophe" renders the inflatable machine unusable.
There are also 1L, 3L, and 5L oxygen cylinders on the inflator. The three filled the oxygen cylinders, and each bought six 6L oxygen cylinders to carry.As for the remaining 5 silver coins, they planned to buy some food from the nearby vending machine to replenish their energy.
After confirming that the salary level here is still friendly to players, Ning Mianmian heaved a sigh of relief, and did not plan to skimp on food.The three of them bought several pieces of bread, milk and drinking water, and sat in the corner to eat.
They kept in mind what Zhao Yao said, the air pollution here is serious, and they can only take off their masks for one hour a day, otherwise they will have health problems.So they eat extremely fast and want to minimize the time they are in contact with the air.
The surrounding workers also began to rest one after another, especially the NPCs, who were exhausted early in the morning and had no appetite for some meals.
While eating, Ning Mianmian looked around from the corner of her eye. Some players couldn't help but ran to chat with NPCs, trying to get information.
Her heart is also ready to move, after all, she has too many questions about this world.For example, what kind of past did these people go through to come to the City of Happiness willingly, and what is the meaning of the City of Happiness.
After all, it is very strange that such a ghostly place can exist, and there seems to be support from government departments behind it, otherwise how could there be such a complete set of operating system.
Ning Mianmian stuffed the last bite of bread into her mouth, and whispered to Lin Cen, "Sister, let's talk to an NPC too."
Lin Cen nodded, his gaze swept around lightly, "Is there a target?"
Xiao Yun also leaned over, and raised his chin slightly towards someone not far away, "I think that buddy is pretty good."
The man was a young boy, wearing a dirty school uniform, wearing a pair of glasses like the bottom of a wine bottle, looking honest.
It is strange to say that among the group of people who entered the City of Happiness, there are quite a few people who look like students, and there are also people who look like ordinary office workers. In the perception of ordinary people, they are not dead ends.
Lin Cen said, "Yes, the girl behind him on the left is also very suitable."
On the back left of the boy is a petite girl with a ponytail, no more than 20 years old, with slender limbs, and it seems that she doesn't exercise much usually, and barely supplies oxygen after half her life.
Xiao Yun said: "Okay, then I'll go over and talk to him first, let's split up."
After that, he got up, went to the vending machine to buy a few more things, and went to make friends with the boy.
Ning Mianmian and Lin Cen saw that there were more and more people coming to work around them, and no one was paying attention to them, so they also walked slowly towards the girl with ponytail.
The girl was resting against the wall, but when she saw someone approaching, she hurriedly sat up straight and said vigilantly, "What are you trying to do! Don't come here, violence is not allowed here."
Her face was covered with dust and dripping with sweat.The broken hair stuck to the neck, looking very embarrassed.
Ning Mianmian rolled her eyes, showing a friendly business smile that she had practiced countless times.
She handed over an unopened bottle of mineral water, and said gently, "We didn't want to do anything, but we wanted to ask you something."
The girl only hesitated for two seconds before reaching out to take the water.In order to save money, she only bought a bottle of water just now, which was not enough to drink.She was hungry, thirsty and tired, and couldn't resist the water that was brought to her.
The girl unscrewed the cap, took off the mask and gulped down half the bottle, then quickly put the mask back on, and carefully put away the remaining half bottle of water.
While she was drinking water, Ning Mianmian pulled Lin Cen and sat down beside her, then took out a dozen silver coins and waved them lightly in front of the girl's eyes, "Shall we talk, I can pay."
The girl seemed unable to resist this huge temptation, and she saw Ning Mianmian and the others' work efficiency just now, so she knew that they must be rich.She hesitated, "What do you want to ask?"
Ning Mianmian said, "Tell me about your life before you came here."
The girl was a little confused, "Life? What's there to talk about? Aren't we all the same? We go to school, work, eat and sleep every day. There seems to be nothing special..."
Ning Mianmian waved her hand and lowered her voice, "Change your thinking and think of us as aliens who have just arrived. If aliens came here by accident, how should you introduce them so that they can quickly understand the current situation?" Do you know anything about the state of the world?"
The girl froze for two seconds, then opened her eyes wide as if she realized something terrible, "Are you aliens? No wonder I saw you are very strong just now..."
Ning Mianmian made a "shh" gesture, and added a few more silver coins, "Don't talk about this, it's not good for you to know too much, let's start talking."
The girl nodded tactfully, and began to talk, "Well, our world is very ordinary, it should be the same as most planets. It is divided into four grades from top to bottom: A, B, C, and D. Humans are graded from the moment they are born. It is destined that people of different classes lead completely different lives."
Ning Mianmian subconsciously wanted to refute that there was no hierarchy in her own world, but on second thought, there seemed to be nothing wrong.
She asked, "What is the so-called level used to determine?"
The girl looked at her strangely, "Of course it's money, what else can it be?"
Lin Cen paused, and asked another question, "The low-level people, do they have channels and methods to improve their level through hard work?"
Ning Mianmian originally thought that the girl would answer something like "Yes, but it's very rare", but she didn't expect the girl to say categorically, "No, never."
Speaking of this, her pale face was blank, "In fact, the lower class is no longer a species with the upper class."
The man shrugged frankly, "You don't have to do it, if you don't do it, get out of the way, there are people here who want to do it."
Ning Mianmian heard this very familiarly, and sure enough, no matter where he went, the capitalists were just as unscrupulous.
