Chapter 5: Zeng Jie

It wasn't until 5 p.m. that someone came to inform them that they could return to work.

Chu Wei put down the hoe and rubbed his somewhat sore shoulder, this iron ore is much more difficult to collect than a coal mine, and in a day, his shoulder is already extremely sore.

Looking at Zhong Wen again, he was already so tired that he couldn't walk while sitting on the side, and his working time in a day was less than one-third of Chu Wei's, and he had been lazy, and he was so tired that Chu Wei felt a little unbelievable.

Chu Wei pulled Zhong Wen up, and the two walked out of the cave side by side, walking towards the living area below.

Zhong Wen said dejectedly: "I really regret being absenteeism, and I'd rather continue to wander around in the small town of Verdes than contribute here." ”

Chu Wei smiled and said, "But you have found a way to become a reserve soldier, if you are lazy, I think you will not be able to meet the standard, such a good opportunity, but many people can't ask for it." ”

You must know that the rank of the reserve soldier is very high, with four values exceeding ten points, of which one of the strength, agility and physique has reached fifteen points, far exceeding that of ordinary people. Moreover, after becoming a reserve soldier, you can also receive formal training, and your physical caste can be increased again.

In the game "Epic Continent", there are very few ways to improve the basic caste, just rely on the usual miscellaneous items to make money, and then get the opportunity to train and learn through money, it takes several years to accumulate, and it is estimated that you can improve a few points of the caste, and even the money you earn has to be put into it, and in the long run, it will be even more difficult to enter the second difficulty area.

How could Zhong Wen not know this truth, he sighed and said, "I know this is a good opportunity. But if I want to go 60 days without rest, I have to do my best every day, and I can't persevere. Originally, I thought it would be nice to do some hard work, but now it seems that it is too difficult. ”

Chu Wei patted him on the shoulder and said, "It's good to get familiar with it." Don't forget, I'm a miner in real life, and I'm going to work underground when I leave here at night. ”

Zhong Wen glanced at Chu Wei, his expression was a little moved, Chu Wei was not much older than himself, but he had done much more than himself, and he had the dream of changing his life.

Zhong Wen admired Zhong Wen a little in his heart, and at the same time, he also had the idea of not being left behind, and planned to work hard tomorrow.

The two men came to the cafeteria and began to eat.

The meals here are very simple, rye bread, stews, soups, potatoes, sweet potatoes and corn, which are available in unlimited quantities, so you can eat as much as you want. But there is only beef patty, and one person can only receive one.

Chu Wei ate a beef patty, another bowl of stew, a sweet potato, a rye bread and a bowl of thick soup.

Such a large amount of food made Zhong Wen stunned, and when Chu Wei solved the food, there was still half of the beef patty left in Zhong Wen's hand.

After Chu Wei waited for Zhong Wen to solve the meal, he shook his head, this guy's food is too small, and he can't even replenish the physical strength consumed, and if he goes on like this, he won't be able to meet the conditions at the appointed time.

However, Chu Wei didn't say much, and the two went back to the room, intending to leave the game.

It was seven o'clock in the morning, and when I opened my eyes from the bed, the sunlight was pouring into the room through the window.

Chu Wei got up and washed, walked out of the door, and started another day of hard work.

Chu Wei found that after digging iron ore for a day in the game, it became much easier to dig coal underground.

Chu Wei attributed it to the fact that he used more force to dig iron ore, so after leaving the game, his body still did not change this habit.

At the end of the day's work, it is still relatively early, and today's systematic review is still a good income, at least another 150 yuan.

Chu Wei took a shower, and at the same time received a private message from his friend Zeng Jie, asking him to go to the bar in the staff dormitory area.

Chu Wei saw that the time was still early, and it was seven o'clock in the morning when he left the game today, and it was only four o'clock in the afternoon until he worked, so he could delay entering the game for a while.

Chu Wei rushed to the bar and found Zeng Jie sitting on the bar waiting, and when he saw Chu Wei, Zeng Jie pushed a glass of beer over.

Zeng Jie is older than Chu Wei, and he has worked here for a long time, and he lives on the same floor as Chu Wei, so he has a good relationship.

Zeng Jie picked up the wine glass, touched it with Chu Wei, took a big sip, and then said, "Whatever you want to drink, I remember that today is your birthday, right?" Let's celebrate in the evening. ”

Chu Wei rolled his eyes and said, "Brother Zeng, you are mistaken, my birth was actually yesterday. ”

"Yesterday?" Zeng Jie scratched his head, a little embarrassed, but he slapped Chu Wei's shoulder and said, "You kid, don't say a word in your life, what's the point of living alone." ”

Chu Wei was a little moved, and said: "Brother Zeng, in fact, I didn't care, it was when I was twenty years old, I only cared about entering the game, and I forgot about celebrating or something." ”

"You're in the game?" When Zeng Jie heard this, his eyes lit up, and he said proudly: "I guess you are still messing around in the town now, hurry up and ask your brother Zeng, I have been in the game for many years, and I have a lot of valuable experience, so it's no problem to guide you to find a job." ”

Chu Wei rolled his eyes and said, "Is it difficult to find a job?" I got a job two hours after I went in. ”

"Two hours?" Zeng Jie looked shocked and said, "It seems that I am not qualified to guide you." It took me three days to get a job as a handyman, and you got a job in two hours. But what is your job that is so easy to find? ”

Chu Wei smiled and replied, "It's similar to what we're doing now, it's a mining job, it's just iron ore. ”

Zeng Jie said enviously: "Then your luck is very good, I was working on the farm in the village at the time, I was cutting wheat every day, I was tired and hot, I was not skilled in what I did, and I was often scolded." ”

Hearing this, Chu Wei grabbed a word and asked, "Village?" Brother Zeng, the first place you entered the game was in the village? ”

Zeng Jie nodded and said, "Yes, what's wrong?" ”

Chu Wei said with some surprise: "But I was born in the town. ”

"A small town?" Zeng Jie's eyes widened and he said, "Are you kidding, that's where people from the elite area were born, and civilians were born in the village. ”

Chu Wei showed a wry smile and said, "I'm not kidding, the place where I first appeared was in the barracks in Verde Town. ”

Zeng Jie frowned, thought for a while, and asked, "Weizi, are you a higher surname than ordinary people?" ”

Chu Wei nodded and said, "My strength and physique are all twelve points, my intelligence is thirteen points, and my agility is relatively low, with ten points. ”

"Damn." After listening to Chu Wei's words, Zeng Jie put the wine glass heavily on the table, looked at Chu Wei and said: "No wonder you were born in a small town, the sum of the four dimensional surnames reaches forty-five points, you can be born in the town, and if you exceed two points, of course you will be born in the town." ”

Chu Wei thought for a while and asked, "What about Brother Zeng, what was the surname at that time?" ”

Zeng Jie glared at Chu Wei before he said, "At that time, I had just become a miner, with 11 strength, 11 physique, 9 agility, and 9 intelligence, adding up to exactly forty points. ”

Chu Wei glanced at Zeng Jie and said with a smile: "Such a surname is very compatible with Brother Zeng." ”

Zeng Jie narrowed his eyes and said angrily: "What do you mean, I'm at a normal level." ”

Chu Wei laughed, but Zeng Jie said proudly: "But now my surname is much higher than yours, my strength and physique are fifteen points, twelve points of agility, and eleven points of intelligence, which add up to fifty-three points for me." ”

Chu Wei asked with some curiosity, "What is Brother Zeng going to do now?" ”

Zeng Jie replied: "My profession is a butcher, and I do slaughtering for a butcher shop in a small town, and I am paid one silver coin a day. ”

Chu Wei thought for a while and said, "Brother Zeng, how long have you been in the town, and what is your reputation in the town?" ”

"I've been in the town for two years, and my reputation has reached that of friendliness, and most of the people in the town know me." Zeng Jie was a little curious and asked, "Why are you asking this?" ”

"Of course it's beneficial." Chu Wei smiled mysteriously and said: "You go back and ask the town to open a letter of introduction, and then take it to the nearby Acropolis and report to the soldier training center, and then you can become a reserve soldier, you can be trained in the barracks, as long as you meet the conditions, you can even become a regular soldier." ”

Listening to Chu Wei's words, Zeng Jie was startled, tilted his head, and asked, "What you said is true?" ”

Chu Wei nodded and replied, "Of course it's true, I work in the Artisna Chamber of Commerce, and an uncle who used to be a city guard told me. As long as all four castes reach 10 points, of which strength and agility are reached, one of them reaches 15 points. If you get a letter of introduction to the town, you can become a reserve soldier. ”

"Haha." Zeng Jie slapped Chu Wei on the shoulder, and then laughed and said, "Thank you, Weizi, I have long been tired of the job of a butcher, and I am worried that I don't know how to improve myself." When I get into the game today, I'll get a letter of introduction, and then I'll head to the Acropolis and become a reserve soldier. ”

Chu Wei's body trembled, although Zeng Jie's strength evaluation was eleven points when he first entered the game, but the life of a miner in the past few years has made his strength much more than himself.

Chu Wei told again: "Brother Zeng, it's best to keep this matter secret, the less people know about it, the better." ”

"I know, it's the equivalent of in-game cheats, and of course I won't tell anyone." Zeng Jie nodded, and said, "But I still want to thank you, as long as the transfer is successful, I will treat you to a good meal." ”

Chu Wei rolled his eyes and said, "It's just a meal, it's too picky." ”

Zeng Jie smiled: "It's okay to go to the Sky Restaurant for a meal?" ”

Hearing this, Chu Wei's eyes immediately lit up, "You mean, that sky restaurant in the sky of our Star Sea City?" ”

"Of course, is there anything else besides there?"

Zeng Jie said with a smile, and Chu Wei immediately became happy.

Sky Restaurant, a restaurant suspended in the air, is famous throughout Xinghai City, but the cost is very high, and a meal costs tens of thousands of federal coins.

For those of them who were less than three thousand Federation Coins a month, their legs trembled a little when they entered the inner area of Xinghai City, let alone went to the Sky Restaurant.

So Chu Wei is also looking forward to it in his heart, but he is also a little curious in his heart, it seems that Zeng Jie has accumulated a lot of money in the game, otherwise he would not be so wealthy.
