"Hey, what are you doing here?" Zhou Qiyu quietly approached from behind and patted 4277 who was looking into the armory.
"Ah!"
Unexpectedly, Zhou Qiyu's little joke shocked 4277 and he cried out in surprise.
Then, she patted her chest and looked at Zhou Qiyu angrily." You scared me to death. What are you doing here? Didn't you say that you're from the Research Department?”
"Our research department has developed a new product and needs to use this place to test it, so we came here.”
"Are you done with the test?"
"Yes."
" Phew-" 4277 let out a long sigh and clapped his hands happily." That's good."”
"What's good? By the way, you haven't told me what you're doing here. It's already past nine o'clock. It's so dark and you can't even see the road clearly. Isn't it dangerous to go back to your residence?”
"Our pigeon cage is better off staying outside!”4277 shook his head helplessly," It's suffocating inside when it's hot and freezing when it's cold. Besides, it's so noisy that it's not quiet. It's better to stay in the outer ring of the lighthouse. It's cool, the lights are strong, it's not cold, the space is big, and I can move freely. I'm usually tired and go back to sleep."”
"As for the danger you mentioned, it doesn't exist. I can walk the road back to my residence with my eyes closed! "And that steel cable," 4277 gestured with his hand.
"With a whoosh, you can go from the outer ring of the lighthouse to the door of my pigeon coop. It's convenient and fast. This is the only thing worth being happy about!”
"Hehe!"
Opticism and strength were the portrayals of the little girl in front of him. Although she was in the status of a mortal and occasionally saw a slight inferiority, Zhou Qiyu did not see her complaining. Instead, she worked hard to improve and welcomed her life with a smile.
"Alright, I won't talk to you anymore. I have to go over there and take a look. If I'm late, it'll be too late!”4277 pointed at the crowd and waved at Zhou Qiyu before running over.
Zhou Qiyu was curious and walked forward unsteadily.
A man in his forties with a blue card on his chest was standing on a high platform, grinning as he picked out the crowd of dust people below. Their expressions and actions were like picking and pointing at the vegetables in the farmer's market.
"You, it's you. That big guy in blue, you have some strength, right? The things inside are very heavy!"
"Yes, yes, sir. I can easily lift a hundred pounds of things.”The chosen one waved his hand happily.
" Sir, sir, I have the strength too," a slightly thin man squeezed forward and shouted," Boss, I want less contribution points than him. I only need 55 contribution points, which can be exchanged for two worm cakes."”
"Oh? Was that so? "Then this…" Shangmin was hesitant after hearing this. It could be seen that he was very moved.
The burly man at the beginning reached out and pushed the skinny man away. He said fiercely,"Get lost-" Then, he said to Shangmin with a smile,"Sir, you know what kind of person I am. I haven't made any mistakes in my previous work. This time, I don't want much contribution points. It's only 50 points. Can you let me go in and clean up?"”
"Alright, Li Dazhuang it is." Shangmin didn't hesitate this time and directly chose this person.
Because he knew that this was the bottom line that these lowly dust people could accept. 20 contribution points for a bug cake. After two to three hours of physical labor, they would need to eat two to be full.
However, most of the dust people would only buy one to fill their stomachs and save the remaining contribution points for emergencies.
The first dust citizen had lowered the price to such a low level, which had set a benchmark for tonight. The dust citizens who competed for the next position would only beg for a lower price than 50 contribution points because they did not have Li Dazhuang's physique.
A total of 20 people were selected to clean the armory, and 4277 was among them. She asked for the least because she was thin and had a small appetite. She only asked for a slightly higher price than a bug cake, 23!
"I'm small, so there must be some gaps inside that these big guys can't clean. This way, I'll be needed. I can nimbly crawl in and clean them up.”
After listening to 4277's reason, that Shangmin decided to choose her on the spot.
He really knew how to use his advantage!
Zhou Qiyu crossed his arms and watched the entire process. 4277 didn't go back so late because he wanted to clean up the Desolate Hunter training room and earn some contribution points.
No wonder she was so happy when she heard Zhou Qiyu's affirmative answer when she asked if the test was over. It turned out that she was afraid that she would not be able to find a job today.
Was the life of the Dust People of Lighthouse already in a state of deep suffering?
However, Zhou Qiyu was even angrier at the way the higher-up did things. He could tell the whole story from just one glance. How many contribution points did he squeeze out of the dust people like a second-hand dealer?
Did the high and mighty City Lord Morgan know about all these things that happened in the lives of the people at the bottom?
Perhaps he should know. After all, he was the reigning City Lord. His methods and whatnot must not be underestimated. There must be many hidden existences like the Embroidered Uniform Guards.
However, he still chose to let it be.
How to solve the problem of the increasingly prominent class conflict between the upper citizens and the dust citizens was still based on food production. If there was a kind of creature that could produce high and constant production and cultivate it on a large scale, it should be able to solve the problem.
No, it could only alleviate the pain slightly.
The lighthouse was only so big, and the living space was only so small.
In the end, humans still had to return to the surface to live! That was the true home of mankind, the true foundation. This was because humans were not birds with wings. Moreover, even birds needed branches as a foothold. It was impossible for them to fly in the air for their entire lives.
"Are you Engineer Zhou Qiyu?”At some point in time, the higher-being who had assigned the dust people to work had arrived in front of Zhou Qiyu and greeted him with a smile.
" Yes." Zhou Qiyu regained his consciousness and nodded." I'm Zhou Qiyu. You are?"”
"Oh, my name is Grandet. I'm the manager in charge of the daily cleaning of the armory.”The person said respectfully.
Grandet knew who he could offend and who he couldn't. From his current observations, he could tell that among the new reserve players who hadn't even reached the age of 16.
First of all, Mark had a backer that could not be touched. He had to be at his beck and call at all times because he was supported by the entire Desolate Hunter team. After working here for so long, he understood the temperament of these Desolate Hunters. They were not to be provoked and would explode upon contact. Think about it, a person who could fight the Extreme Devouring Beast on the ground and tie his head to his belt, how could he be easy to talk to?
The second person was Zhou Qiyu. What he saw today was real. This kid could talk and laugh with the number one engineer of the Lighthouse, Molin, and even talk to the chief instructor of the Desolate Hunters, Elon. It was amazing. After that, he found out that the equipment that he had tested just now-the Electromagnetic Hoverboard Shoes-was invented by this kid. Impressive. He had done this project at such a young age. He would definitely have a place in the future as a lighthouse engineer.
Therefore, these two people had to greet each other in advance. Even if they could not get close to each other, it would be a great help to him if they could get familiar with each other.
Grandet continued," Today, I was lucky enough to see the electromagnetic skateboard shoes designed by Engineer Zhou. It's amazing. It runs fast and steadily.”
As for Zhou Qiyu, he muttered in his heart, Grandet? Wasn't this the miser from Western literature? It was comparable to the well-known Nero Zhou of the Chinese Empire!
However, judging from his actions just now, he did deserve the name Grandet!
