Chapter 5 Tradition?
"Are you sure this is really the town hall? And not something more threatening, like ......"
Lan Mengqi pointed fingers and compared for a long time, but she couldn't come up with appropriate adjectives to describe the pile in front of her.
It's no wonder that she is at a loss for words, this is also the first time to see the common problem of outsiders in the Bailu District of the Fourth Ring Road, who sees this circle...... Illegal construction? It is impossible to associate it with the government office that links order, norms, and laws.
“....... For example, the Demon King Cave and the Dragon Cave? In the questionnaire three years ago, when it came to the impression of the district town hall, these two were the second and third answers. ”
"Second, third? That first ......"
"The garbage dump, more than nine out of ten people chose this answer. By the way, the most praised answer to the extended questionnaire was 'Giant garbage on the outside, small garbage on the inside, dead garbage on the outside, live garbage on the inside, non-combustible garbage on the outside, and non-combustible fossil head garbage on the inside. By the way, the staff who made the 'dump' option .....'"
"He's been fired?"
"No, he was promoted, it is said that the district chief likes this title very much, and he also changed his house number - the head of the garbage tun small garbage tun."
“....... It's good for you to be happy. ”
It took a long time for the rabbit to squeeze out a smile.
"Well, after it was spread, there weren't many people who called the garbage dump of the government hall, and he was the head of the garbage tun of the garbage tun, and you from the Bailu District of the Fourth Ring Road have become garbage residents of the garbage tun."
Recalling what his boss did in the past, is he so smart and thinking so far Zheng Li shook his head.
"I should say, this is self-deprecation or even making it impossible to be black. Although as far as I know about the single-threaded idiot, he should just use this as a reason to avoid tidying up the office and papers, 'I'm all in the garbage, and you still have to let me sort out the junk files'......"
There was a sudden outrageous remark by a former (government) employee against the boss.
Now, even the cheerful rabbit doesn't know how to answer.
"Ahem, it's spectacular. Well, it's impressive, it's impactful. ”
At this time, stepping through a gate, in front of the two of them was the government office area of Bailu District, the fourth district of the fourth ring belt of Shiqian City.
It's no wonder that there has been a lot of controversy, and the buildings in front of you, or large complexes, are too scary.
The bones of the huge beast lay there, the smell of quicksand and sulfur filled it, and the faint smell of blood was as if it were still on the battlefield yesterday.
As the administrative core of the city hall, all kinds of buildings in its chest part, a rib of the municipal behemoth is more than five stories high, and if only this one exists, it can also be said that the style is unique, but such a large object, there are more than a dozen, like a child's playing with building blocks piled together.
The bones of giants and the scales of dragons are nothing, and there are sad faces with humanity on the metal hill still high in the minaret, and there is a high-tech floating battleship sandwiched on it, and against the float is a ghost ship that is still smoking black fire, and there is a ghost crew on the upside-down floor of the ship that is making a barbecue.
Similar things were mixed together, piled up into several minarets, and the buildings of the city hall were mixed in, no, to be precise, it was the office department of the city hall, Lan Mengqi had already seen a hole in the side of the ghost ship and two signs were hung, and there were people waiting in line outside to work.
It's no wonder that others say it's a garbage heap, the first thing a visitor feels when he walks in is "really messy", the second is "really TMD", followed by "where am I?" Where am I going? Where did I come from? Three philosophical questions.
"Oh, that's the Archives Management Office, dealing with endless mountains of documents every day, many things are dangerous and must be kept secret, there are not a few people who are mentally polluted, and few living people are willing to do it. Ghost employees are in full attendance 24 hours a day and will not have psychological problems, and many of them are rehired after the death of the original employees. ”
It seems that as soon as he returned to his original unit, Zheng Li's words became a bit much, and he was a little poisonous and uncontrollable.
"But if you want me to say, the main reason for the large-scale rehiring of the dead ghost workers is that they only get half of their salaries, and the little bastards in the Finance Bureau and the Personnel Bureau like this kind of employees who don't have to pay for food, business trip allowances, and housing subsidies, and don't need employment training and annual leave. If no one had called for a halt at that time, and the reform of the talent introduction policy of the administrative department three years ago had been completed, nearly half of the new employees would have been ghost employees. The whole process of running errands hits ghosts, what does that look like? ”
Of course, the fact is not as pitiful as Zheng Li said, the situation of the archives management office is really a bit special, the area of each district in Central is quite amazing, the daily amount of documents is too much, there are several cars in and out every day, and most of the documents are boring, boring but necessary, after working for a long time, they have become a living dead who is numb to deal with documents,
Oh, the other part of the documents, it's even more interesting, everyday documents can make the living boring to death, and those with danger signs can make the dead look alive.
Too much secret and dangerous knowledge, ordinary people are not crazy and mutated when they are exposed to more, and some staff complained at the beginning, and entered the archives management office, the mental hospital is the standard, and the strange zoo is the home, and the cemetery will not be a long rest (holiday) place if you are not careful, and the dead will be pulled to work overtime.
Well, later, they really used dead people to work overtime, and they didn't have to pay overtime.
But looking at the rabbit with a confused face, it seemed to be a little too dark, Zheng Li still explained two sentences.
"Existence is justified, don't look at it like this, it was also an ordinary government office building back then........."
Although Shiqian City has six rings, the fourth ring is already the outermost extension of the area under the complete control of the municipal government, and the five rings are all independent city-states and factory areas at the beginning, and it is not convenient to come and go.
The more the outer ring, the worse the spatial stability, plus the empty and vast no-man's land, there are many strange beasts, monsters, demonized beasts, and the like.
The 5th and 6th Rings are wild areas, and the 4th and 24th Rings are also the most extended border fortress areas of Shiqian City.
Since ancient times, the "border" has generally had fierce folk customs, and there are many floating populations that come and go, and quite a lot of famous hunters and adventurers have settled here.
"I'm better than you, this piece will be my territory in the future, and everyone will have to pay me protection money. Ha, you say you're my boss, wahhgh! Little shrimp! Come to war! ”
Although it is very ridiculous, but when it was originally built in Shiqian City, there are not a few strong people with this kind of orc thinking.
In particular, the largest adventure mission entrustment area in the entire Fourth Ring Road is in the city hall of Bailu District, where even supporting facilities such as the black market, weapon shops, and flower streets are here, and the combat department is densely talented, which makes this area a hard-hit area for "orcs and I am looking for super strength and I want to be a big guy".
As the number one leader in the practical sense, the challenge letter that the first district mayor received every day burst his mailbox, and she couldn't stand it because she was annoyed, so she simply ran out of the city.
Then half a month later, there was an extra catastrophic monster corpse in the city hall, and there was a signed photo of the first district mayor on the side, she was really happy to smile, so she was quiet for a long time.
However, the challengers who came after hearing the news were well-known powerhouses that even the district boss had a headache, and many of them were from other super giant cities from thousands of miles away, so it should be said that they were lifting a stone to shoot themselves in the foot.
The predecessor opened the way, and the successor learned and behaved, and the first thing for the incumbent was to hunt the big one, or he couldn't suppress the cards and arrogant subordinates.
And in order to show that he is not worse than his predecessor, he has to hunt for a bigger one, and after one term, the land area is not enough, and he has begun to pile up tall towers.
Under the strong protest of employees, coupled with the fact that the "bigger" aspect is becoming more and more difficult to find, they look for new and quirky and difficult things to prove their abilities.
The alien warships of the Moss people, the ghost ships of the blue seas, and the human-faced sphinx mummies of the sons of the sun god all came about in this way.
Later, when this became a tradition and culture, it was not only the district chiefs who came to the platform to stack the loot.
Many famous adventurers, explorers, and hunters in the area will secretly hang their proudest prey in the corner of a big one, and do not forget to leave their spiritual seals and fancy signatures.
Later generations continue to innovate, the legacy of the predecessors is not easy to dismantle, over time, it is natural to become a garbage tun, but these messy things have been piled up for a long time and have had strange changes, for example, the death in the inside is particularly easy to become a ghost......... "garbage tun" has the nickname of "ghost sweatshop".
As soon as such a bad start starts, the bigwigs in other border ring areas must keep up even for the sake of face (at the beginning, for the sake of border security, they all picked those who could fight), and as the boss kept up, how could others not follow up.
For a long time, this "modern punk style mixed with bone and metal" became the standard in district government office buildings.
"When you smell garbage, you know you're at the town hall." It should be the most common malicious violence heard at that time, after all, these guys are also veterans in handling loot, and it is inevitable that the chaos will be stacked unsightly, but how can a medal as an "honor" have a taste.
It's just that later, with the development of the times, the road to other megacities has also stabilized, and there are more exchanges between cities, and the government office building is really a bit ugly as the face of the city.
Shiqian City has also lost several people because of this, and the "office building of Shiqian City" has even become a stalk of the entire human society, so the city government has forcibly issued several decrees, forcibly ordering the district governments to pull their "ancestors treasures" into the district museum.
Well, the district museum is right, the city finance and the research department don't want the door, and he doesn't dare to open his mouth.
Some of the district museums were directly pulled in, and those that were not repaired overnight, and no one was willing to send their "garbage" elsewhere.
This is not just a matter of honor and tradition, later generations have already discovered that these things have passed the test of the times, and have long become the wealth left by the ancestors, and they can be used in disaster years or development needs, and the Bailu District is the most special, and it has been demolished and cannot be demolished.
"There's no way, the initiative has reached the conditions of the ritual, and the sacrifice and psionic overflow have become an internal cycle, and they have long been exotic. Forcibly dismantling the space gap left behind has a high chance of causing a large space earthquake, and a small chance of an ultra-small black hole beast appearing, are you sure you want to dismantle it? If you want me to say that it's good, such a high degree of spiritual energy density not only increases the chance of the remnants of the deceased's spirits, but also increases the shipment rate of spirit blades by one percent. ”
Zheng Li still remembers that during the regular inspection two years ago, the expert in the direction of the psionic field said so.
So, together with a few other diehards, after tossing around, the Bailu District really hasn't been demolished.
The only trouble is probably that the interviews are really not very photogenic, and there is also the traditional visit (show-off) program at the end of the year - after the mayors of the districts visit the museums of the districts collectively, especially the history exhibition area and the newcomer exhibition area, the district mayor of the district will be incompetent and angry for a few days.
It's not that he didn't call on other well-known hunters and rising star hunters to put the loot in the district museum, but your boss didn't do it, and followed the tradition to hang his prey "Gray Abyss Specialty, Super Giant Shadow Raven" on the spire, and prevented others from hanging under you, why should others give their honor and pride to the museum.
He also knows that it won't work, but you suggest that he send his treasure to the museum......
"How can I send my glory and pride to a cold warehouse where no one has passed! Absolutely not! It's going to cry! Honor is my life, blood and thunder! ”
It's going to cry when it's killed by an idiot like you! Still glory and pride? You're a pure-blooded human, and that's the bestial subhuman tradition!
At the beginning, Zheng Li almost didn't swallow a mouthful of old blood, and sprayed it directly on the opposite face.
Now, looking at the spire of the two more giant beasts than the last time, he rubbed his brow, and without asking him who had done it secretly........ If someone else hangs it, the "orc big guy" disguised as a pure human will blow up!
"It has nothing to do with me, it has nothing to do with me, I really did the right thing to resign back then, or I will be pissed off by this idiot and this group of bastards sooner or later."
It is worth mentioning that the option to mark the questionnaire with "garbage dump" on it was the result of knowing the result of such a mark, in order to prevent an orc from continuing to secretly pile up "garbage".
But judging from the results, someone still failed, the black-hearted met the shameless, and the shameless won.
At this moment, walking on the streets he is familiar with, a former government employee, Comrade Zheng Li, is inevitably recalling his past youth.
At the time, he was still very young, uh, at least mentally.
Shortly after waking up from the freezer, the insecure young man did not hesitate to take refuge in the local government, the largest underworld force in the region.
Later, with his excellent administrative ability and knowledge accumulation, he did a good job, and when he left his job two years ago because of something, many people retained him.
"Brother Zheng Li, many people greet you, you seem to be mixing well here, hehe, is there any preferential treatment, can you not queue up?"
Even a simple rabbit has seen something.
After all, from the moment they came in, most of the government personnel and employees they encountered along the way not only did not have the habitual indifferent face of official business, but after seeing it, most of them took the initiative to come over to greet them.
"Mr. Zheng, come to do something? Do you want me to help? ”
"Zheng Division.... Mr. Zheng Li! Good morning! I? I am fine! Super spiritual! ”
"Ah, isn't this Xiao Zheng, wait and drink two glasses."
This is quite normal, and the more greetings there are, it is a bit intriguing.
"Senior! Long time no see....... Do you have an appointment tonight? ”
"Boss, come and see us? Tsk, I knew you weren't that kind, so let's have lunch together when you have time? ”
"Secretary-General Zheng Li? Well, Former Secretary-General Zheng, come back and take care of that orc! ”
"Yes, Boss Zheng, no, you're gone, that orc and his gang are going to heaven! He wants to gather a large group in the district and go to the wasteland outside the Sixth Ring Road to open up mines, you go and persuade him, we are government office staff, not an orc war group. ”
“...... Two days ago, when he recruited new office staff, he actually looked at the muscles first instead of looking at the work ability, the new secretariat is simply the scene of the bodybuilding competition, the last time the sister-in-law who came to work next door was directly scared and cried, I think our Bailu District is about to end. ”
Hehe, it has nothing to do with me, along the way, Zheng Li smiled very happily, the trouble is someone else's, and he doesn't have to deal with that single-celled orc, it's good.
"Oh, the gate under the red faucet over there is the District Civil Affairs Bureau, you just go there directly, you have already made an appointment, you don't have to queue up."
Originally, Zheng Li also planned to send the Buddha to the West Heaven and observe it to the end.
But he noticed that in the shadow of the tree behind him, a shark subhuman was smiling at him and beckoning.
"Awu? Actually approached me directly, isn't this a Class B prohibition in the enforcement manual, he is not a fool who violates the rules at will, let him violate the rules........ Is there an urgent change in the project? ”
