It was the depths of winter, and the clouds were thin over the central wilderness, and the stars and rivers were turning in the sky, as if dotted with brilliant diamonds.

The endless wasteland is paved with a layer of silver sand, which is one with the sky, less desolate and more romantic.

However, this silent and peaceful beauty did not last long, and was soon interrupted by three red points of light in the sky.

"Whisk ......"

The noise of the large propellers ranges from far to near, and the silhouette of the floatboat emerges in the night sky.

Looking down from the sky, a seven-colored flower bloomed in the silver-covered wasteland.

Brightly lit and colorful, it is the capital of bliss in the central wilderness, Shin-Edo.

Tall neon signs stand in the middle of it, full of colors. Under the signboard, light boxes of different sizes are as dense as stars, colorful and beautiful.

It is a world of lights, like the legendary drunken capital, where a hundred ghosts walk at night and lanterns sway.

At this time, a week has passed since the harvest festival, and people are gradually returning to their normal lives, the work that should work, the school that should go to school, and the adventure that should be adventurous.

In a small two-story building in the middle of the city, several women in pajamas with towels on their heads are walking briskly down the common corridor with a wooden basin for bathing.

Near the inside of the corridor are wooden doors, and the windows next to them are faintly lit.

This is a low-rise apartment specially for rent, all small single rooms, rectangular, including the kitchen, toilet and shower room less than 10 square meters, because the sound insulation effect is very poor, although the women walk fast, but the steps are very light.

"Asami, you still have to go to work tonight, let's use the dresser for you first."

"Thank you, Kako."

A young woman in her early twenties put down the wooden basin and soap used in the large bathhouse, dried her hair with a towel, put it in the basin, walked quickly to the dresser and sat down, began to comb her hair and put on makeup.

Her name is Asami Oda, and she is a Yingren who works in Shin-Edo.

She has been here for three years, and her hometown is a small mountain village in Qingguo in the west. The Yingren are one of the yellow races, and their birthplace is in Xiaodongzhou, which is now the Black Death Continent.

The cataclysm started in Xiaodongzhou, where the entrance to the space-time undercurrent was located. The people who have lost their homes are scattered around the world, mainly engaged in manufacturing, handicrafts, agriculture and entertainment.

Yingren has a very excellent craftsman spirit, manufacturing things meticulously, the famous three-phase heavy industry is a multinational group company created by Yingren.

Three-phase Heavy Industries, together with Red Earth Heavy Industries, and the manufacturer of black watches, Cifis Corporation, are known as the world's three largest group companies. Whether it is scale or technology, it is a grade stronger than the second-class manufacturers such as Longhe Industry in Hongguo, Chongshan Industry in Qingguo, Ximu Industry in the West Continent, and Great Wall Company in the East Continent.

Three-phase Heavy Industry advocates minimalism, is easy to use, and has reliable performance, and is known for its high precision and low failure rate.

Among them, the sniper rifles of the Night Stalker, Eagle Fury, and Sky Fury series, and the high-level mecha of the Valkyrie and Sky Sparrow series are particularly outstanding.

Compared with the red clay heavy industry, which flows with the unrestrained and free blood of the Western Continent, three-phase heavy industry is more cautious and precise. Meticulous and excellence, but also accompanied by a lack of innovation, too old-fashioned and other problems.

In addition, Yingren has a very exquisite style of life, even if they live in a small house of less than 10 square meters, they have to separate the bathroom from the bathroom, and spend an hour every day taking a bubble bath. As a result, Yingren's entertainment industry is very developed and attracts a large number of tourists.

And compared with other ethnic groups, Yingren women are also very open-minded, and the profession of the warbler will not be discriminated against too much, and it is even very common, which will not affect the future marriage and childbirth.

After spending half an hour putting on makeup, Asami Oda quickly changed into a work shirt and dress, put on a silk scarf, put on high heels, and walked out of the room smartly.

"Kako, I'm leaving." Before leaving, she greeted her roommate inside. In order to save money, she and her friends shared this small room of less than 10 square meters.

"Be careful on the road." "Hmm~"

Asami Oda gently closed the door, and then walked briskly and quickly through more than a dozen doors, descended the stairs, and walked briskly through the narrow streets.

Compared to the other women who live here, she has a well-paid job as a full-time waitress at the New Edo branch of the Critical Club.

The job pays steadily, with thirty-five gold coins a month, which is higher than the salary of the average garrison, and that's not counting the cost of tipping when guests are in a good mood. The guests here are all big shots, and as long as you please them, it is not impossible to get rich overnight. If guests like her, they can also earn some extra tips.

There are also Saturdays and Sundays. In this world, it is rare to have a weekend at work, in addition to being able to sleep in, maintain the health and glow of the skin, and occasionally go out for a walk to soothe your mood.

But on the other hand, the job is almost demanding.

The first is the requirement for personal image, whether male or female, don't be tall enough, don't be beautiful enough, don't be smart enough, don't have a bad figure, don't have a bad temperament.

Then there are the requirements for health and age, whether men and women, too old or too young, those with chronic diseases, and those with body odor.

Then there are the requirements for the work, if the conditions above are almost harsh, then the lower ones can be said to be rude.

1. Any request of the customer must be met unconditionally, and there is no right to refuse unless it involves a danger to life.

2. If the customer is unhappy due to personal work mistakes or improper attitude, and cannot get his understanding, he will be dismissed immediately and will never be hired.

3. At all times, we must regard the customer as the supreme god, maintain a worshipful gaze, and do our best to cater to the customer's preferences.

In fact, the main thing that is rude is the first point, and the second and third points are not difficult. These customers are all big people, either powerful or powerful in the Holy Domain, and the power exuded from them is enough to make them waiters sincerely frightened and walk on thin ice.

A few minutes later, she walked out of the dimly lit street and into the bustling street with dense light boxes and glittering lights, and waited at the station for a few minutes when a tram slowly approached and stopped in front of her.

With a snort, the door opened. She got on the tram, "dropped" it on the reader with a black watch, and after spending half a copper plate, found an empty seat and sat down.

There are not many passengers on the bus, all of them are office workers wearing professional clothes. Shin-Edo is a place to spend money, and most visitors opt for taxis or more comfortable coaches.

Outside the window, the neon signs are constantly changing colors, and the signboards written in three languages are like a horse's eye. Yingren's writing has long since withdrawn from the stage of history, mainly in Eastern Continent and Western Continental, but Yingren still stubbornly writes their own earthworm-like distorted characters, although many Yingren are no longer able to understand them.

"The front station is Onsenyama Station, so please prepare your luggage if you need to get off the train......"

After more than ten minutes, the tram slowly stopped. Asami Oda got out of the car and saw the huge gatehouse at the entrance to the hot spring mountain at first glance.

It is more than 20 meters high, but it does not have any lonely grandeur and grandeur, the whole body is round and soft, and the light box on the top is like a bouncy castle, and it is written in three languages "Beautiful hot spring town in the wasteland - Dr2399".

This hot spring mountain is arguably one of the greatest works ever undertaken by mankind.

Originally, there were no geothermal resources in the central wilderness, and even groundwater was very scarce, but in order to reproduce their hot spring culture, the Yingren spent more than 30 years building an underground water pipe to bring hot spring water from the red rock volcanic mountain range thousands of miles away, and built water stations along the way to heat and pressurize the original hot spring water to Shin-Edo.

Luckily, there is no shortage of fuel in the clay world. Without counting the unknown parts of the world's fragments, there are enough known reserves of crude oil to be extracted for hundreds or thousands of years, so such extravagant and wasteful actions have not been opposed by the Commission on Human Survival.

Then, the Yingren cut large pieces of rocks from the five major mountain ranges of the Red Continent, the Nolan Snow Mountains in the northeast, the Julong Mountains in the northwest, the Ruigars Mountains in the southwest, the Red Rock Volcano in the middle, and the Grasse Hills in the southeast to build the hot spring mountains.

The scale of the project is unimaginable.

Moments later, Asami Oda took the cable car used by the staff to a mountain. The stone here is grayish-black with white raindrops on it.

This is the Ice Rain Stone from the Nolan Snow Mountain in the Red Country, the largest, hardest, and most beautiful mountain stone.

The Red Country is blessed with two mountain ranges, the Dragon Mountains and the Nolan Snow Mountain, and has the most abundant water and grass in the world, the most open and flat land in the Ambergris River Basin, known as the "darling of the gods".

Although Qingguo has sacred mountains and fallen star rivers, there are too many mountains and scarce flat land, which is not suitable for large-scale cultivation and grazing, while although the sand country sits on the vast and boundless Dafang Continent and has the largest land area in the world, it is arid and rainless, and there are nearly 100 large and small deserts, which are also not suitable for large-scale cultivation and grazing.

Therefore, since ancient times, the combined population of the Qing and the Sand has not been more than half of the Red State, so most of the wars have been fought by the Green and Sand countries against the Red State.

As for the Eastern Continent and the Western Continent, although the land is flat and fertile, there are many countries, all of which belong to medium-sized countries, and there is no superpower like the three kingdoms of the Red Earth Continent.

Asami Oda walked a little along the stone staircase in the mountain and came to a stone gate carved into the mountain. After showing his work badges to the two black-clothed men at the door, he walked in.

The entrance to the Critical Club is very low-key, and at first glance it looks like a cave of a primitive tribe.

But when I walked in, I suddenly saw it. The hall is paved with warm yellow terrazzo, which is as smooth as a mirror, reflecting the beautiful figure of Asami Oda.

"Asami-senpai, you're so punctual every time, and you'll be there in five minutes."

The young and beautiful waitress at the front desk greeted Asami, and then stretched, "I'm nervous all day long, I'm tired, I'm going back to sleep quickly." ”

"Yumi, you have to learn to relax, the more nervous you are when facing guests, the easier it is to make mistakes." The young and handsome male waiter next to him said seriously.

"You don't have a backache when you stand and talk, and male customers are much more difficult to deal with than female customers." The waitress said listlessly.

"Yumi, you can't use the word 'deal with' to guests, this kind of thinking is dangerous, and if you are not careful, you will leak your mouth." Asami Oda had a serious expression and said in a tone of admonition, then approached the other party and lowered her voice, "Last month, there was a new waitress who accidentally poured juice on a customer, do you know what happened to her?" ”

"Fired on the spot?" The waitress named "Yumi" asked.

"Oh my God, Yumi Kami, how naïve you are to believe the terms of the contract they say." Asami Oda touched her forehead and said, and the waiter next to her also showed a mocking smile.

"She, what's wrong with her?" Yumi Kami's expression was scared.

"The manager asked her to apologize for her sins." Asami Oda said. The expression was calm, as if it had long been commonplace.

"Ahh Kamiyumi covered her mouth, "She, why didn't she refuse, or yes, or call the police?" ”

"Hehe, you think the law is useful here?" Asami Oda's expression became more and more cold, "Thirty-five gold coins a month, plus a tip of more than 100, working outside for a year and here for a month, do you think this money can be earned casually?" ”

"So, what happened to her?" Kami's eyes widened, and her voice trembled.

"I didn't die, but I had to lie in the hospital for two months." Asami Oda said casually.

Yumi Kami's face turned pale with fright, and she couldn't speak for a long time. She is a newcomer, who only joined the company after the harvest festival, and she does not have enough knowledge of the cruel unspoken rules.

"There is a saying in our hometown, wealth and danger are sought." The handsome waitress smiled and patted Kayumi on the shoulder, "Last time, a guest was happy and gave two thousand gold coins to Nako Kamikawa in the spa department, and she immediately sent money home to buy a house." ”

"Oh my God, what did Kamigawa-senpai do?" Kamiyumi asked, curiosity overshadowing fear for a moment.

"Kamikawa just said when the opponent won, it's great, it's amazing!" The handsome waiter clenched his two fists and made a cheering appearance. The delicate appearance of the pretended to be full of goosebumps made people feel goosebumps.

"That's all?" Kamiyumi asked in surprise, according to the general situation, didn't the guests take a fancy to Kamigawa's appearance?

"yes, that's all." The handsome waiter tilted his neck and said, "You don't want to think about it, what kind of characters are these?" Two thousand gold coins are to them the same as our two copper plates. ”

"Okay, let's not talk about it, the time is almost up, hurry up and hand over the shift, otherwise it will be troublesome if a guest comes." Asami Oda glanced at the clock, there were still two minutes left before the shift was due, and it couldn't be delayed any longer.

"Yes~"

The two were changing shifts when a young man, about twenty-four or five, dressed in a black combat uniform, walked in outside. Asami Oda immediately put down the handover at hand and walked out of the front desk to greet the guests.

"Hello dear sir, may I ask what can serve you?" Saying that, Asami Oda bowed ninety degrees.

"This is the Critical Club, right?" The young man asked, looking left and right.

"Yes, dear sir, this is the New Edo Branch of the Critical Club." Asami Oda said respectfully.

"Looks like you've found the right one." The young man said to himself, "The door looks like a cave, and I thought I had gone wrong." ”

After pondering for a moment, Asami Oda asked, "Dear sir, is this your first time here?" ”

"Hmm." The young man nodded, "I want to join your club." ”

"Well, dear sir, there are some conditions that need to be met in order to join our club, do you mind if I do a scan of your identity?"

After explaining the situation in detail and asking for the other party's opinion, Asami Oda picked up a special ID scanner from the counter of the front desk and scanned it at the other party.

[Name: Erliu Chen]

[Title: Baron] [Title: Guardian of the Great Wilderness, Messenger of the Spirit Sea]

[Power: 65]

[Dexterity: 83]

[constitution: 38]

[Psychic Power: 75]

……

"Ah, sir, you......"

Seeing the other party's information, Asami Oda was a little cramped and nervous. Because judging from the information, the other party is neither a powerful nor a powerhouse in the Holy Domain, and does not meet the requirements for membership, but the experience of working in the critical boundary for half a year tells her not to underestimate anyone who comes here, so she doesn't know how to answer in order to be polite.

Seeing Asami Oda's expression, Yumi Kamika leaned over with some curiosity. When she saw the information on the screen, she immediately became a little disdainful, and raised her chin at the young man, "You don't meet the requirements for membership, please go back." ”

She looked arrogant, very unpolite, and even a little arrogant.

The party's eyes narrowed, and the cold light was revealed, "Strength doesn't rely on black table data to speak. ”
