femme fatale [unlimited]
Chapter 59
There was a low voice of discussion in the crowd, and several players who were alone turned pale when they heard it. They are probably newcomers who have just entered the game.
Someone continued to ask without giving up: "What does consumption mean?"
Charles: "Refers to the total incapacity of an employee, usually death."
Fluffy said to Love with a bitter face, "I take back what I just said, you are much better than the capitalists here."
Working eight hours a day to make ends meet, and life-threatening, what kind of black factory is this.
Love glared at her, "You know me well."
Charles seemed to have expected the reaction of everyone. He turned a deaf ear and raised his voice and said, "Okay, everyone put on your overalls and follow me. I will guide you to familiarize yourself with the working environment."
After that, he turned around and walked out the gate. The others exchanged glances with each other, and then followed one after another.
Going out is a long and bright corridor, the silver-gray walls reflect vague figures, the metal floor is hard, and it is cleaned spotlessly.From time to time, a small robot responsible for cleaning slips by.
The corridor was only wide enough for two people to walk side by side. Ning Mianmian walked beside Lin Cen, looking down at the game panel while walking.
Lin Cen's voice rang in his ears, "What did you find?"
"I found out..." Ning Mianmian raised her eyes and got a little closer to Lin Cen, "You can use points to buy food in this dungeon."
She paused, then added regretfully, "But it's very expensive. A piece of bread costs 30 points, which is even more exaggerated than the transition zone."
She just calculated that to eat three meals a day, at least 100 points are needed, which is 10 times the points deducted in the real world on weekdays.Living here for 3 days requires 300 points, which is not a small amount for many players.
But think about it, as mentioned in the previous plot, there is no limit to working hours here, more work pays more.If you use the points to buy food, you can not only save the time to explore the dungeon, but also save the gold coins from work, who knows if you will need them in the future.
Lin Cen tapped his fingers, opened the panel, scanned Ning Mianmian's panel, and then did something.
Ning Mianmian saw a slight flash on the screen, and then a line of system prompts appeared.
[Anonymous players have transferred 100000 points to you, please check. 】
She almost jumped up in surprise, stared at the long string of 0s and counted, then looked up at Lin Cen, "You... anonymous player?"
Lin Cen didn't look at her, but continued to walk forward, "I've wanted to give it to you for a long time, but I always forget it."
Ning Mianmian felt a little embarrassed, she shook her head again and again, and said in a small voice: "This is too much, I can't take it."
Lin Cen said: "I can't use it up, and it's a waste to keep it."
She paused, and added in a low voice: "You are my wife, if something happens, I will be very troubled."
Ning Mianmian was stunned for a moment, her heart beating fast.
She pursed her lips and thanked her in a low voice, feeling that her life became worth a lot in an instant.
During the time of speaking, Charles had already led everyone through the corridor and came to a metal door.
Next to the door is a square sign: Workspace.
Charles pressed the button, and immediately several rays of light shot back and forth across his face, and the metal door opened automatically.
After confirming that everyone has entered the room, he closed the door and introduced: "This is the work area, which is where everyone goes to work. After completing the work, you can get the gold coins you need to survive. The salary is calculated daily, at [-] o'clock every night release."
Ning Mianmian frowned, that is to say, if they didn't use points to buy food, they would have to work hungry until eight o'clock in the evening before they could eat their first meal.
She looked around, the room was square and large in size, there was an open space in front of the door, and the rest was divided into rows of small rooms.
Each small room is airtight, about 3-4 square meters in size, without a ceiling, and separated from other small rooms by a metal wall.
Ning Mianmian took a closer look and found that there was a number written on the door and a long opening, which should be used for supervision.Compared to a place where humans work, this place is more like rows of large lockers.
Charles said: "We are a conscientious company and do not enforce working hours. But I want to remind everyone not to be too lazy. After all, food and water are all expensive. If you are hungry, your health will not be good."
Someone in the crowd sneered, "Grass, can you be more hypocritical?"
Ning Mianmian raised her eyes and saw that the person speaking was a tall young man with a cropped cut, who looked to be in his 30s, and the code on the back was "island23".
Charles pretended not to hear, and led the crowd through the empty passage between the two rows of small rooms. There was another metal door at the end of the room.
This door does not need to scan the identity, it will open automatically when approached.
What caught my eye was a few neat rows of tables and chairs, a bit like the layout of a high school cafeteria.There is a tall shelf by the doorway with stacks of metal dinner plates.
The room is also square, with several large vending machines placed against the wall, displaying a wide variety of food inside.
Charles led everyone to the machine and introduced: "After you receive your wages, you can use gold coins to exchange food here. Our food supply is sufficient and will be replenished in time, and there will be no shortage of goods."
He pointed to one of the machines, "This one is dedicated to selling nutrient solutions. There are various flavors and the price is low. It is the most affordable choice. Just one can can meet the nutritional needs of an adult for a meal."
Through the transparent glass, you can see that there are palm-sized metal cans inside the machine. The flavors are marked on the cans, including beef, chicken, hamburger, milk...the price varies from 20 gold coins to 30 gold coins. wait.
This nutrient solution brings back some unpleasant memories for Ning Mianmian. In her world, some merchants have launched meal replacement milkshakes, which are euphemistically called "Take care of your stomach when you don't have time to eat."
But she thinks this is nothing more than a disguised form of exploitation of people. In her opinion, if a job keeps you from even having time to sit down and have a good meal for a long time, then it is not a good job.
Charles pointed to another machine, and continued: "There are all kinds of fast food in here, and the price will be relatively high, after all, the cost is there."
The so-called instant food includes the most common instant noodles and ham sausage, as well as some self-heating foods, including self-heating hot pot, self-heating rice, etc.The price has indeed increased a lot, usually around 50 gold coins.
Charles briefly introduced several other machines, which contained drinking water, beverages, fruits and snacks.The most expensive is fresh fruit, ranging from 100-200 gold coins.
It seems that even in the future, low-level workers will not enjoy the benefits of cutting-edge technology, and their living conditions will not improve, or worse.
When leaving the dining area, Ning Mianmian sighed leisurely, and said in a low voice, "The food quality is too poor, and it's so expensive."
She glanced at the people behind her, and whispered to Lin Cen, "Only Fluffy can love food."
Ning Mianmian thought Lin Cen was the least picky eater until she met Rongrong.Fluffy once ate a big mouthful of raw meat at a self-service barbecue restaurant because she thought she roasted too slowly, and was educated by Love again.
The veins on Rongrong's forehead twitched, "I heard that."
What a joke, she has eaten so much delicious food recently, she feels that her taste has changed a lot.She no longer eats live mice and chickens, what else do you want from her.
The next area is the accommodation area, which is still a large square room. The layout is very similar to a capsule hotel, with a grid for each person and a number on the door.
The grid is two meters long, 1.5 meters wide and high, not much bigger than a coffin.There is a spacious bed in each grid, filling the space to the brim.
Charles said: "Accommodation is free, which is a benefit of our factory."
As soon as he finished speaking, there were several cold snorts from the crowd.
The last area is the entertainment area. A wide, ultra-thin TV screen is hung on the wall, and an entertainment variety show is playing on it.
A few beautiful girls in gorgeous white lace tutu skirts were smiling, playing a simple PK game according to the host's request, making exaggerated laughter from time to time.
There are more than a dozen soft chairs placed directly facing the screen as a simple auditorium.
In addition to the TV, there are several rows of bookshelves full of books, various board games and video games.
Ning Mianmian looked around, but she couldn't find a place to pay. She was wondering when she heard Charles say: "The entertainment area is charged by time, and 1 gold coin is charged per minute. Of course, since everyone is here for the first time, it is a visit." nature, so there will be no charge this time.”
Players seem to have become numb to the ubiquitous exploitation, and no one complains anymore.
Charles introduced the entertainment facilities on his own, and then walked to the door.
The metal door opened slowly, and Ning Mianmian was surprised to find that they had returned to the work area.
After a short thought, she quickly understood the layout here.
This area is like a four-square grid, which is divided into clockwise order: work area, dining area, accommodation area, and entertainment area.The adjacent areas are connected to each other, covering all the working and living needs of migrant workers, which can be called a one-stop service.
Workers work here to make money, and then spend the money they earn in this place, forming a weird cycle.
Charles said: "Then our visit today is over, please get back to work as soon as possible."
After that, he was about to leave, but a soft female voice came from behind, "Wait a minute, I have a question to ask."
Charles turned around, only to see a cute girl with a round face looking at him eagerly.
"What's the question?" he asked.
Fluffy is a top nightmare, and has never been afraid of the NPCs in the dungeon.
She cut to the chase and said, "When we're not working, can we go to the stall outside the factory to buy cold noodles? Are there any around here?"
Ning Mianmian: ...
She already felt that the people around her began to look at Rongrong with caring eyes for the mentally retarded, and even Jiang Wan, who had been keeping a cold face, glanced at her lightly.
"Small stalls? What's that?" Charles frowned, and then suddenly realized, "You mean garbage stalls, they were all hundreds of years ago, so where do they still exist now?"
Fluffy is dissatisfied: "What kind of garbage stall, don't talk nonsense if you don't understand."
The corners of Ning Mianmian's mouth twitched, and she quickly pulled her behind, signaling her to shut up.
Charles did not show any anger, but said: "And without permission, you are not allowed to leave the factory casually. The gate is face recognition, and you can only move within the four districts, and you have no permission to go to other places."
"Besides, there is everything here, and you don't need to go out."
He looked at the crowd with different expressions, and showed a standard professional smile, "Everyone, please treat this as your own home."
Someone continued to ask without giving up: "What does consumption mean?"
Charles: "Refers to the total incapacity of an employee, usually death."
Fluffy said to Love with a bitter face, "I take back what I just said, you are much better than the capitalists here."
Working eight hours a day to make ends meet, and life-threatening, what kind of black factory is this.
