The girls climbed the stairs arm-in-arm, and as they left, Adolfina gave a look of self-pleading relief, and the door closed slightly, muffling out the unbridled laughter.

Simon suddenly felt that he was meeting his father-in-law, but he himself couldn't remember how many years he went to Juliana's house at the end of the town, and he heard his mother say that the two of them met each other when the moon was full, that is, on the thirtieth day of his birth, when he was wrapped in diapers, Simon met his father-in-law.

"Since Miss Morfin insists that you can win my favor, then young man, you come to convince me why I should give you the apprenticeship that many people are looking forward to." Collins pulled reading glasses out of his coat pocket and put them on, looking at Simon carefully.

When Simon woke up one day, he found that his beard, which had been grown for months, had been shaved clean by Adolfina and successfully stepped into the ranks of the little white faces, but after more than ten days, his face had grown back into a layer of fine fluff. During the five-year war, the only mark left on him was a shallow scar on the eyebrow bone, which added a lot of due iron and blood to his relatively young appearance. Most people in the new era are malnourished, and few people are as tall and tall as Simon. Out of the concept of quick response, Simon wakes up and likes to comb his forehead hair sideways, which should be playful, no wonder Lily Collins is a little jealous and jealous of Adolfina. No way, Simon has been a friend of the girls of Lone Pine Town since he was a child.

"If I want to earn a full meal, I can go to Area G to work as an industrial worker, earn dozens of yuan a day for twelve hours, don't die, I can go to the nuclear waste disposal reactor, but." Simon looked at Collins calmly, "How many days and nights do assembly work, they will only hold a bullet that is much the same, and I am the one who uses bullets, I will choose one of armor-piercing bullets, tracer bullets, and high-explosive rounds, and fill my sniper rifle at the right time, I am the user, and my value is more than a hundred dollars a day of repetitive work." ”

"What I have learned and experienced has given me the confidence to pursue a higher level of life."

"Ambitious snipers." Collins snorted, and before he could lift the teapot, Simon refilled the teacup. "Ambition is the most exuberant nature of young people, and I agree with you."

"The problem is that there are a lot of ambitious young people, and I admit that snipers are quite valuable, however, the gun guilds are a peaceful place to produce violence, and we sell design violence, and we don't use violence directly, and I have to say, what you are proud of is mine, and it doesn't work." If rattan tea is not added with sugar, the taste will be quite bitter, which is destined to make rattan tea unable to circulate to thousands of households like coffee that has been exhausted and has very little left.

Touching the nail did not discourage Simon, and after more than 20 days in the Steel City, Simon really understood why Gilpin thought he was a sniper and did not necessarily mix well in the city. The ruling family is the six largest spiders in the cobwebs of Steel City, and the guilds of all trades are the backbone that leads to the center of the nest. Gun Guild, Aquatic Guild, Medicine Guild, Ammunition Guild, Vehicle Guild...... Guilds of all sizes directly affect the daily life of the residents of the Iron and Steel City, it is very simple to enter the industry, only need to become industrial workers, but it is even more difficult to formally obtain the establishment of the industry, except for the citizens of steel, residents must have sufficient financial resources, ability, and background to enter the guild. After obtaining the establishment, it is equivalent to being counted as "one's own person", and the treatment is very high. Just the allocation of safe and secure E-zone housing is enough to squeeze people's heads.

The most important thing is that in the annual citizenship review, the guild members have priority, which also makes the already scarce number of citizenship basically divided up by the guild residents, and occasionally leaks a few foreign powerhouses who are also granted asylum. Once you enter the black wall, heaven and hell.

As a powerful mutant, Adolfina has mastered mutant genes and has excellent camouflage reconnaissance skills, even the Solomon family must give her face to release Simon, but it never means that she is a citizen of steel, a good gun with a risk of scrapping or a machine that makes guns, which is more important?

It's too arrogant to fight the whole city on your own, and if you don't have the ability to change the rules, adapt to it and obey it. Simon and the stunned green have no half-penny relationship, the war has long slaughtered the stunned green scum and there is no scum, even if there is little hope, Simon still chooses to do his best to fight for it, because he understands that following the rules is the fastest and safest way for him to rise.

"Sir, in my twenty-four-year-old life, two-thirds of the years have been spent with firearms, disassembling and disassembling firearms has been remembered as an instinct, just like eating and drinking, I can skillfully operate all kinds of equipment, sights, artillery, vehicles, all kinds of sniper rifles I have used for many years, even if you give me an exoskeleton, I am sure to repair it." Simon elaborated.

Collins looked at Simon again, and said slowly: "I can see that you are from before the war, so you don't need to mind, in fact, there are several pre-war shelters inside and outside Steel City, and even this city was established by the residents of the Vault, Vault 56?" If I'm not mistaken, it's right in Hydra Square, so you can check it out when you have time. ”

"You may want to say that you have served in the government, the army, and the research institute, and your skills are far better than those of the post-war wastelanders, so I should give you an exceptional opportunity, in fact, since the opening of the Vault, those residents who have systematically studied various pre-war technologies have gathered in the major wasteland city-states, the two largest of the steel city and the Long Beach city, and I personally entered the vault at the age of five, as you can see, I am from the old era." Simon was speechless when Collins spoke, he thought he was unique, who would have thought that he was still one of the countless ordinary people.

"So, young man, the times seem to have changed, in fact, they haven't changed at all, war is nothing more than dividing the moral standard of human beings into several extremes, our ancestors hunted mammoths in the Ice Age, their environment was not better than ours at all, after all, no matter how powerful a few nuclear bombs are, they are always no match for the sun."

"Again." Collins's tone was a little vicissitudes, "Miss Morfin thinks I have an extra place, it's not bad, I have, you are a pleasant lad, Miss Morfin has been a very picky girl since she was a child, out of the conversation between men, I think she is right, in the morning for a year and a half, I am happy to give you a place, however, time has changed." ”

"I'm old, and I'm going to find a place for Lily to rely on, so I've given the quota to her fiancé, my son-in-law. I think you'll be with Miss Morfin for a long time, and if you're willing to help Lily in the future, I'll consider you first as soon as I have an apprenticeship. ”

Simon laughed slightly in his heart, to be honest, he didn't have much hope for Adolfina's whims, but when he heard that he had to be convinced by losing in this regard, he stretched out his hand to Collins and said, "She's my friend, my creditor, that's all." ”

"Young man." Collins held the young man's palm and pursed the corners of his mouth.
