Chapter 261: Arrival
Soon a huge quarry appeared in front of Xu Ye, surrounded by some special guards, and there was a very imposing gate in front of them, and there were several strong men standing in the gate, but these strong men seemed to be very comfortable now.
They were not like ordinary city guards, who stood in the sun all day long, but on the side of this gate, they brought a small umbrella to protect them from the wind and rain, and also put down a few Taishi chairs and some tables, and were leisurely drinking tea.
Even when they saw Xiao Tian's arrival, they still didn't want to get up from the Taishi chair.
There are a total of 4 strong men at the door, they are all about 40 years old, they look relatively rough, with the appearance of a middle-aged uncle, but one of the strong people looks out of place with the other three people, looks quite handsome, although the age looks like he is in his 40s, but he has an angular and manly face, embarrassed eyes, upright facial features, sword eyebrows like a knife, all the time telling his appearance and temperament.
"Yo, Xiaotian, are you here, come and have a drink with us. ”
When one of the middle-aged men saw Xiao Tian's arrival, he couldn't help but smile, and shook the small wine glass in his hand at Xiao Tian's white hand.
"Brother Wang, it's still not possible, if you want to drink, I'll come over to drink with you another day, and now I still have a job." ”
When facing the middle-aged man who called him Brother Wang, Xiaotian behaved very respectful and humble.
"It's not the point to work or not, the point is that we didn't drink enough a few days ago, if you kid don't give me enough drinks today, I'll be with you kid. ”
Brother Wang didn't seem to be ready to stop there, and after hearing Xiao Tian's words, a trace of displeasure appeared in his eyes.
"That's okay, Brother Wang, after I bring them in, I'll come out and have a good drink with you later. ”
Xiao Tian's face was obviously embarrassed for a while, but in the end, he gritted his teeth and made up his mind, and there was even a hint of death in his eyes.
Brother Wang seemed to be very satisfied, and he no longer paid attention to Xiaotian, and continued to drink the small wine in his hand, but this man who was called Brother Wang drank wine, and it was really not ordinarily sharp, although the wine glass in his hand was not very big, but he also drank this wine as if it were water, and after drinking one glass after another, there was no interruption at all.
"Brother Long, several of them are here to work. ”
After solving Brother Wang's troubles, Xiao Tian couldn't help but exhale, and then respectfully came to the middle-aged man with an extraordinary temperament.
"Take them in. ”
Brother Long, who has an extraordinary temperament, doesn't seem to be interested in this scene at all, and now he is lying on the Taishi chair, and he hasn't opened his eyes from beginning to end.
"Thank you, Brother Long, then I'll bring them in first. ”
"Come with me, this is the quarry where we are mining, and your job in the future is to be responsible for mining stones here. ”
Xiao Tian turned his head and whispered to Xu Ye and the others, and then walked quickly into the quarry.
In the process of entering, Xu Ye's brows were tightly furrowed all the time, and he also took a deep look at the extraordinary temperament of Brother Long, I don't know why this man always gave Xu Ye a very unsimple feeling.
After following Xiaotian's pace all the way and entering the quarry, Xu Ye knew how huge the scale of this quarry was, such a quarry was almost many times larger than the empty square at the entrance of the first floor, and there were countless people working in it, and there were bursts of noisy excavation sounds.
The people working here are all wearing a pure white robe, which has no simple pattern of any kind, and the material is very unbearable, just some ordinary linen clothes, not to mention any texture, at most it can only achieve the effect of covering shame.
After Xu Ye entered the quarry, he felt a very bad atmosphere, the people working here were all in a state of lifelessness, and they didn't seem to have any hope for life, just like the walking dead, even if there were new people in this colored stone quarry, they didn't take a second look, as if they had nothing to do with them at all.
"Don't worry about it, the daily workload in the quarry is very large, and ordinary people can't bear it, so it's natural for them to show this kind of expression, everyone comes here to work to win their freedom, and some people also come to dig for the spirit stone. ”
Xiao Tian also felt Xu Ye's puzzled gaze, and couldn't help but explain calmly.
"There are three areas in this quarry, and each area has a different amount of work, and of course, the remuneration is also different, just like the place where we exist now is the lowest development zone, and the work here is just to drive some ordinary stones every day and transport them to the empty square in front of them. ”
As he spoke, Xiao Tian stretched out his finger and pointed to a huge, empty clearing not far away that was full of stones.
There were also workers at work in the clearing, as well as carts carrying them.
The so-called car is made of some stiff steel, and in front of the car are two huge beasts, which happen to be the powerful power of the car.
Xu Ye also knew that this fierce beast was called a wild bull.
This is a beast that is usually more docile, but has different skills, although the attack power is not very good, but the endurance is extremely strong, can carry a heavy object for thousands of miles a day, and the speed can reach a very fast level, this beast is definitely the best choice for carrying goods.
"The work here is generally not so hard, but the pay will naturally be a little lower, and the salary for working here for a month is a medium-grade spirit stone. ”
"What???It's only a medium-grade spirit stone for a month, it's too cheap, right?"
Xu Ye was a little stunned when he heard this, in fact, he didn't attach much importance to the value of these spirit stones, after all, there were mountains of spirit stones in his ring, and he didn't lack this so-called spirit stone at all.
"One medium-grade spirit stone is indeed a little less, at least two are needed. ”
Lee pouted, thinking the deal was a bit unfair.
He has been living alone for many years, and he is very clear about the value of the spirit stone.
Hearing this, Xiao Tian didn't feel any displeasure, and said with a smile: "Of course, you can also choose to go to the intermediate development zone, where stones are also mined, but the weight of the stones mined is different, what is mined there is some dark iron stone, the daily workload will be very hard, and the remuneration will naturally be a little higher, three medium-grade spirit stones." ”
Hearing this, Li Shenglong's eyes couldn't help but light up, saying that these three medium-grade spirit stones were indeed a little valuable to him, but when he thought of the three words Xuantie Stone, he immediately retreated.
You must know that ordinary stones and dark iron stones cannot be compared at all, both hardness and weight are very different, such as an equal stone and an equal black iron stone, the weight difference between the two is as much as three times.
"Also, the last high-level development zone, where some black stones are developed, you can also choose to work there, where the pay will be more generous, as long as you work for a month, you can return your freedom, of course, provided that you can endure this hardship and can complete this work. ”
"What???You still have a place to develop black black stone here?I'm going, it's a little crazy, what are you doing with these smelly and hard stones??"
Li Shenglong's eyes widened when he heard this, black Xuanshi is a very terrifying stone, whether it is hardness or weight, it is definitely the heaviest and hardest of all stone varieties, but you must not underestimate this kind of black Xuanshi, the weight of this stone can definitely be so heavy that you doubt your life, such as a fist-sized black Xuanshi, its weight can reach as much as 500 catties.
Although this reward is very rich, Li Zhenglong does not dare to take it easily, after all, this kind of work can only be done by people with stronger strength, and the weight that can be borne at each stage of strength is indicated, such as a strong person in the Earth Soul Realm like them, the highest weight is only 1,000 catties.
This kind of black stone is definitely not only the size of a fist, if it were a basketball-sized stone, they would not be able to pick it up.
"It's up to you to choose, now you have two minutes to think, and then give me an answer, and if you don't answer after two minutes, we'll have to randomly distribute you to one of the areas. ”
Regarding Victor Lee's expression, Xiao Tian seemed to have been accustomed to time and space, and after leaving such a sentence, he stopped talking, as if waiting for their reply.
"Boss, what do you think we should do?? Although the Black Dark Stone Quarry has a good pay, it is not ideal for us, and I think the Black Dark Stone Quarry is the most suitable place for us. ”
Li Shenglong thought for a while, and then whispered to Xu Ye to suggest.
"Zhao Qibin, what do you think??"
Xu Ye didn't pay attention to Li Shenglong, but moved his eyes to Zhao Qibin, wanting to see what kind of thoughts he had.
"It doesn't matter to me, you just have an idea. ”
Zhao Qibin was still as cold as before, and when facing Xu Ye's inquiry, he also answered plainly, as if everything had nothing to do with him.
"What do you think, sister?"
"I don't care. ”
Xu Yingying responded directly, she really didn't have much idea about these so-called choices, as long as Xu Ye had an idea.
"Then let's go to the Black Rock Field. ”
Without any hesitation, Xu Ye directly agreed, and Li Shenglong, who was standing next to him, opened his eyes wide, opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but in the end he couldn't say what was in his mouth, after all, Xu Ye had already decided, no matter how much he stopped it, it would be useless.
Xiao Tian couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and said with some doubts: "Are you sure you want to do this?" The workload of the Black Xuanshi Farm is completely different from that here, although the pay is very high, but it is very likely that you will not be able to bear the workload and collapse, and we also have our work here, you must be rational when choosing the occasion to work, if you choose this place but can't complete the work there, you will be punished by our quarry, and you will be randomly sent back to one of the quarries, and the reward will be reduced by half. ”
"Huh, cut it in half, that's too bad, isn't it?"
Christian Lee's eyes widened, and his face turned out to be unhappy.
