Chapter 310: The Next Opponent

Roland watched the three Klitschko brothers leave, raised his hand and knocked on the door, and without waiting for Shabalin to respond, he walked into the lounge, laughing and teasing: "I was going to say a few words of comfort to you, but now it seems that there is no need for this." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Shabalin shrugged: "It's a bit depressing to lose, but it's better to lose to you than to those pesky guys, and hopefully you can win until the end so that I can brag to others that I lost to the champion, and if I wasn't lucky, maybe I could have made it to the final." ”

Roland smiled dumbly, "Thank you for your blessings." ”

"It should be that I thank your subordinates for showing mercy and not completely destroying Big Ivan and Big Peter, otherwise the repair cost alone would have forced me to bankrupt." Shabalin lamented.

After chatting a few words, Roland said that he had his intentions, and Shabalin readily agreed, as he expected, and took out a "mentally retarded" scroll to exchange "Inferior Spell Void Enchantment" with him. Mages can add the spells on the scroll to their own spell list by transcribing them into their spell book.

Roland put away the scroll and said to Shabalin: "You are the leader of the trade union, you should know more about the current living conditions of the working class in Kitland City, I have been doing a little research recently, are you interested in discussing this topic with me?" ”

Shabalin looked at him with some surprise, "I didn't expect that a noble person like you would be interested in this issue, of course I would be happy to communicate with you." ”

Roland smiled slightly: "Then let me ask a question first, what do you think is the biggest dilemma facing the working class in Kitland City at present?" ”

Shabahin's face was solemn when he heard this: "I have thought about this problem more than once, and in my opinion, the biggest dilemma at present is that there are too few job opportunities, young people do not see hope, and they generally feel confused about the future." ”

Roland agreed: "High unemployment is a chronic disease of the city, and many social problems are caused by it. As a trade union leader, it is your duty to fight for the interests of the working class, but you also need to consider practical factors, the current economic environment in the north is very bad, the city hall, factory owners and mine owners do not want to increase investment and expand industries, but the threat of the dragon's eye and the fortress of war has caused investors to lack a sense of security about the future, naturally unwilling to expand investment, unwilling to hire too many workers, in such an environment the union also requires full employment is too strong, it is better to solve the problem of unemployment from a different angle. ”

"What else can be done?" Shabahrain spread his hands helplessly, feeling powerless.

Roland smiled indifferently and quietly induced Shabalin to follow his train of thought: "There are still ways, for example, you can try to engage in labor export." ”

"Labor export ......," Shabalin whispered this unfamiliar sounding phrase, and gradually came to his senses, "Mr. Roland, this labor export ...... How do you do that? ”

Roland poured himself a cup of tea, took a sip, and answered his question with a smile: "In fact, it is very simple, that is, to organize those young workers who have been unemployed for a long time - including some women who are interested in going out to work - to register and register them to set up a labor service company of a public welfare nature. Take a reasonable portion of the expenses to maintain the operation of the company. ”

Shabalin's brows furrowed, and he pondered that it would be difficult for him to accept so much new and complex knowledge at once, even in his mind.

Roland noticed the change in his expression and decided to change to a more understandable expression.

"I may not be easy to understand when I say this, but for example, you probably know that the agricultural areas of the central and southern plains are particularly busy during the autumn grain harvest season, because the harvest season is often cloudy and rainy, and the rainy days will affect the harvest of grain, and then affect the final harvest of grain, so during that time there is a shortage of labor on farms large and small, and people rush to harvest day and night when the weather is fine, eager to pull the children who have just learned to walk into the field and give them a sickle to cut the wheat."

"That's true." Shabalin is not the kind of nerd who doesn't listen to anything outside the window and knows a little bit about agricultural production.

Roland continued: "In the Kitland region, on the other hand, because agriculture is underdeveloped, there is no shortage of manpower during the harvest season, and if you can organize idle laborers, in groups of hundreds, and send them to various parts of the south to participate in the harvest, I think the local farms will be happy to pay you satisfactory wages, which is the export of labor." ”

"Again, there are abundant water resources along the Bailong River near the Fort of Atonement, which is very suitable for the development of industry, which will require a large number of workers. However, Fort Atonement is mostly surrounded by agricultural areas, and Southerners have been farming for generations, and the local tradition is more or less the same - as long as there is land to plant, they are reluctant to work in factories, which is very different from the industrial atmosphere in the North, and when the time comes, we will cooperate to allocate the surplus labor resources in the Kitland to the new industrial areas in the South, which is not a good thing for both worlds? ”

After listening to his vivid explanation, Shabalin suddenly became enlightened about the problem of labor export, and stood up with the excitement in his heart, and said to Roland: "Our northland has been a coal and iron mining area since ancient times, and most of the locals were born in workers' families. ”

Roland nodded with a smile: "The young man in Kitland also has a big advantage, he is strong and strong like an ox, and he can work up to two southerners." ”

Shabalin raised his head proudly, "Of course, how can the short Southerners compare to us Kitlanders...... Sorry, I forgot that you're also a Southerner. ”

Roland gave him a blank look, "You Kitlanders work hard, and the amount of food is as good as that of two southerners, and you don't suffer a loss." ”

"Haha, you have a point."

Roland chatted with him a few more words to see if it was too early to leave.

Back at the hotel, Roland gave Nikita the "Mentally Handicapped" scroll and enjoyed a celebration with his companions.

Considering that there is a game tomorrow, no one is drinking. Bloom complained about this, but the minority obeyed the majority, and he did not dare to openly contradict it, lest the precious mustache be ripped off by the girls who were staunchly opposed to alcoholism.

After dinner, Roland returned to his bedroom, remembered what he had said to Nikita that afternoon, and opened the system to check his professional abilities.

He's not sure what kind of opponent he'll face tomorrow, but whether it's Viktoria's "Graceful Violence", Natasha's "Hammer Star", Tamara's "Twilight Fund" or Oleg's "Mokesh's Fury", they will all be tougher than Shabalin's team, and he will have to improve his strength as soon as possible if he wants to get through it.

Thinking so, he checked the potential pool and confirmed that there were still 21 degrees, so he spent 9 degrees of potential to raise the career level of the Destiny Samurai to level 9, feeling that his body was extremely light, as if he had been freed from an invisible shackle, and his comprehensive combat power had risen to a new level. Unfortunately, the cast ability has not improved significantly, and you will not get a new spell slot until after level 10.

After leveling up, the skills related to the class level will also increase the upper limit. Roland can reach the maximum skill limit allowed by his current level through long-term training, or he can quickly achieve the same goal by spending potential points.

Normally, he used to work out on his own, but now that time is too tight, and he urgently needs to improve a few common skills, such as concentration, jumping, healing, riding, and using magic devices, so he puts his potential into directly upgrading each of these skills by one level to reach the upper limit given by his current level.

In the end, there were still 7 degrees of potential left, and Roland decided to save a little in case of emergency, wash up and go to bed.

Early the next morning, Roland led his teammates back to the big arena and drew lots to group them.

A few minutes later, the list of matchups for the second round of the knockout round was posted, and the result was somewhat unexpected, and the opponent of "Shining Gold" today was ...... Victoria's "Graceful Violence". (To be continued.) )
