In the evening, the wagon came to the mine.

The mining area is large, backed by high mountains, and has a series of houses that are simple in structure but extremely clean.

Standing at the entrance to the mine, Martin pulled over the car, and six people got out of the car one after another.

Martin pointed to the gate of the mining area, smiled and said to everyone: "This is where everyone will work in the future, I will take everyone in to register, and then take you to walk inside." ”

So the group followed Martin, first went to a house to register their personal information, each received a hoe and a steel helmet, and then went to the living quarters.

The houses in the residential area are very ordinary, that is, the stone slabs are stacked, a house can live four people, although the house is simple, but it can shelter from the wind and rain, and the terrain here is relatively high, and there will be no water accumulation on rainy days.

Chu Wei Zhongwen and two other aborigines were assigned to a house, and after putting down their things, the four of them walked out of the room again.

Martin took them around the mine again, and there was a cafeteria where meals were served free of charge, as well as a bar and a supply store where they could buy some common supplies.

After a while, after learning about the structure of the mine, Martin took his leave, and he had to return to the town of Verdes, where he could not stay long.

Chu Wei and Zhong Wen returned to the house, intending to leave the game.

From twelve o'clock to enter, by now, ten hours have passed.

The game time and the real time are equal, so in reality, it's almost ten o'clock in the morning, and Chu Wei still has a real job, so he has to leave.

At this time, it is necessary to talk about the surnames of people who work in the real world.

As long as you work eight hours a day, you can freely choose your working hours, even if it is an hour or two hours in the evening.

The efficiency of the work is set by the chips and the monitoring robots, and if they are not satisfied, then the salary will be shortened.

In this way, the laziness of the workers is eliminated, and full freedom is given.

Of course, this was only the privilege of the common people, and as for slavery, the working hours were long, and it had to be strictly regulated.

Chu Wei opened his eyes from the bed, and there was no trace of fatigue in his spirit, which is also the unique surname of the chip, which allows you to entertain in the virtual space while sleeping, but will not feel any fatigue, which is also a disguised increase in people's lifespan.

After getting out of bed and washing, Chu Wei walked out of the staff dormitory.

It is also a mining area, located in Shanxi Province in ancient China, and the only few coal mines remain.

Unlike in the game, Chu Wei in reality is a coal miner, and every day when he comes up from the bottom, he will become dark.

Chu Wei came to the entrance of the coal mine, changed his clothes in the preparation room, got his hoe and shovel, and after swiping his chip registration with the flying robot, he went down to the coal mine.

From time to time, there are bee-sized monitoring robots circling and flying in the mines, and sometimes they will stay by your side for a while, record your work, and send the information to a central computer to make an evaluation of your work.

The evaluation is divided into several grades, excellent at grade A, good at grade B, average at grade C, and failing at grade D.

D-level evaluation is said to be halved in salary; When the D-level evaluation reaches one-third in a month, the salary of the month will be halved; More than one-half, all wages for the month will not be paid.

C-level ordinary evaluation, no punishment, no reward.

A good grade of B should be said to be a salary increase of half; When the B-level evaluation reaches one-third of the number of the month, the salary of the month will be increased by half; More than half of the B-level evaluations were evaluated, and all salaries were doubled this month.

A-level excellent evaluation when the salary is doubled; More than one-third of the excellent reviews in a month will be doubled in the current month's salary; More than half of the A-level excellent evaluations will be paid twice the salary this month.

At the same time, in the month of AB level evaluation incentives, there shall be no absenteeism and D level evaluation, otherwise the superimposed incentives will not be issued.

The punishment is harsh and harsh, putting an end to the idea that people are lazy; The incentives are generous and motivate people to do so.

Most of Chu Wei will get ordinary evaluations, and occasionally he will get good evaluations, only excellent evaluations and failing evaluations, and Chu Wei has never taken them.

However, today's Chu Wei performed very well, and after Chu Wei finished his work at seven o'clock in the evening, and after taking a shower in the bathroom of the staff dormitory, the chip came with his own job evaluation grade.

Good.

This means that the reward for work is doubled today.

The remuneration of one hundred yuan a day can be increased to one hundred and fifty yuan, which is also a big gain for Chu Wei.

After Chu Wei settled dinner in the cafeteria, he returned to his room, couldn't wait to lie on the bed, and entered the chip space.

Choosing to enter "Epic Continent", his consciousness was shrouded in darkness, and after an instant, there was light in front of him.

Chu Wei sat up, rubbed his sleepy eyes, and looked around.

"Brother Chu, why did you come in so late?" Zhong Wen's voice sounded in his ears, and Chu Wei looked over and found that Zhong Wen was standing beside him and looking at him.

Chu Wei rubbed his somewhat sore shoulders and said, "I have to work, eight hours, which is better than you elites." ”

Zhong Wen laughed and said, "Brother Chu's surname is so high, I think I can also become an elite in the future." ”

"I hope so." Chu Wei stood up, looked at the rest of the empty beds, and asked, "Have you started working now?" ”

Zhong Wen nodded and said, "They just left, I see that you haven't come yet, so I'll wait for you here for a while." ”

"Thank you." Chu Wei patted Zhong Wen on the shoulder and said, "Let's hurry over too, it's not good if it is counted as absenteeism." ”

The two hurriedly changed their clothes, picked up their helmets and hoes, and left the room.

Outside the room, there were already people waiting outside, and when they saw the two of them, they said impatiently: "What's the matter with you, you said you would start work at eight o'clock, and you still came out so late." ”

Chu Wei and Zhong Wen apologized again and again, and the man sighed and said, "My name is Qian Sen, I am an old worker here, I have taken you to mine stones for the past few days, and from tomorrow, you must show up at eight o'clock." ”

Chu Wei and Zhong Wen agreed, but Chu Wei showed a wry smile, eight o'clock in the morning here, which is equivalent to eight o'clock in the evening in reality, he has to work for eight hours, plus the time for eating and miscellaneous things, he must leave the game at ten o'clock in the morning.

In this world, you leave the game at 10 p.m., which means that you can stay in this world for a maximum of 14 hours.

For the arrangement of the game, Chu Wei felt a little difficult to accept, unlike the previous games, the time of the game here is constantly evolving, even the game characters will change, if you don't come in for a day or two, then your job will disappear, and it will also alarm the aborigines here.

From that point of view, this really doesn't want to be a game.

However, it is these unbelievable settings that make this game very difficult, how to arrange time reasonably, how to better allocate energy between reality and the game, all need to be carefully considered.

Chu Wei and Zhong Wen followed behind Qian Sen and walked towards the mine.

There, four more newcomers await.

Qian Sen stood still, explained the precautions to the six newcomers, and said a few words before taking these people up the mountain

There were dozens of caves in the mountain, and people kept entering, and Chanson walked upwards, walked to a cave, and walked in.

Qian Sen led the six people into the cave, pointed to the surrounding cave walls, and said, "This will be your mine from now on, we will dig here, and everyone will watch my actions for a while." ”

Chanson said, raising his hoe and slamming it against the wall.

Bite.

The hoe slammed into the wall of the cave with a soft sound.

Seeing that the cave wall was intact, Zhong Wen shouted: "With such a great force, the cave wall has not changed at all, how long will this be dug?" ”

Qian Sen glanced at him and said angrily, "You guys take a closer look." ”

A group of people gathered around and found a protruding stone, with small cracks at the base of the stone near the cave wall.

"Although iron ore is hard, it is only a little harder than stone, and these protruding iron ore only have one side of contact force, as long as we use some force and effort, we can shake the stone down," Chancen said. As for the smaller ones, there are also tools here, hammers and iron drills, and with these tools, it is not so difficult to dig iron ore. ”

While explaining, Chanson demonstrated a few more times and handed over the use of these tools to everyone.

Chu Wei and Zhong Wen watched intently, and quickly grasped the essentials.

Chu Wei chose a stone close to the ground, picked up the hoe with both hands and smashed it down, and with a bang, the iron ore fell in response.

Seeing this scene, Qian Sen smiled and said: "Yes, you have a lot of strength, and the position of the hoe is very good, you have learned very quickly, and you are already very good." ”

Chu Wei was a little helpless in his heart, of course he was excellent, although iron ore and coal mine were different, but the principle of mining was still similar, so he could do it easily.

It's just that Zhong Wen on the side was very difficult, first hit with a hoe, shaking his hands numb, and then picked up a hammer and iron drill to pry those small ores, and it took a lot of effort to knock down a few pieces, so that Qian Sen, who was standing on the side, kept shaking his head.

Zhong Wen rubbed his aching arm and said, "It's really unlucky, it's so troublesome, and there is no skill proficiency in digging iron ore, it seems that this is not a life skill, and there is no way to rely on improving skills to obtain higher quality iron ore in the future." ”

Chu Wei found out this problem, in the past online games, there would be a mining skill, which was divided into many levels according to different proficiency, and the mining speed and mining quality of different mining levels were different, but in the game of Epic Continent, there was no level differentiation.

It seems that everything needs to rely on one's own consciousness, like himself, if he has such an experience, the mining speed is fast, and Zhong Wen, sitting in the office all day, even if he follows the example, the amount of minerals collected is difficult to compare with one-tenth of his own, from this point of view, this game is really difficult.

However, Chu Wei didn't think too much about it, raised the hoe again, and began to dig.
