Chapter 58: Quick Money

"Boss, I was wrong, I lost track of time and didn't come back to work. ”

"Hand over the card. Raisa stretched out her hand, and Qian Jing obediently returned the water and soil waist card to her. "Do you know what happened these days when you didn't come? I've always regretted giving you the Water and Soil Waist Card! This thing will reduce the effect of the protective ring, and I'm afraid that you'll be cut off and thrown in the middle of the desert outside, and you can't survive or die. ”

"That's too much work, it's better to slash your neck with a knife - I mean for the robbers. ”

"What if the bad guys catch you and find that you can't die by stabbing you in the heart?" Lai Slammed the Water and Soil Waist Card on the table, panting heavily, obviously angry. "What if...... If it weren't for seeing that the salesperson had always been you in the White Flag grocery store system, and knowing that you were still alive, I would have collapsed! I had just taken over the grocery store, would I have to deal with the death of an employee? How would I tell your family? Could it be that 'your son died on an alien planet full of sand and could not find a body?'"

"I'm sorry, I didn't think about that. I was stuck in magical meditation and my mind was too unclear. ”

"Qian Jing, I don't want to watch people die......" Raisa covered her eyes and forehead with her hands, and fell silent for a moment. She remembered that her mother's body was gradually collapsing, slowly changing from a beautiful woman who supported the whole family to a frail patient curled up in bed. She was afraid to hear her mother's cough, and the heart-rending sound took away the power of life. But coughing, at least indicating that she was still alive, what Lai Isa was most afraid of hearing was not hearing anything.

Death leaves only loneliness for the living, and in Laisha's case, it adds to the helplessness. When Qian Jing disappeared into the crowd of the fortress star wearing a waist card, loneliness and helplessness ran out of the corner and made trouble. For this, Qian Jing must learn a lesson!

"You don't have a bonus this month and you don't have a holiday. In order not to let you be automatically expelled by the system, I used all your vacation!" Raisa wiped her eyes, not wanting the money mirror to see any moisture. "Also, you'll have to make up for the work you've missed in the past few days. Look at your salesperson tasks, those that only you can complete, and the ghosts can't help. ”

"Yes, I'm going to work. Qian Jing took two steps and turned around: "Store manager, don't worry, I won't die." ”

"Still talking nonsense! What do you think you are the protagonist of a novel?" Raisa picked up the stone cup on the table and threw it at the money mirror, and when she made a move, she realized what it was, so she hurriedly shouted: "Be careful!

"Look at me!" Qian Jing waved his left hand and drew a circle in the direction the cup was going. He invokes the water elemental to complete the Water Locking spell in order to form a water shield to block the cup. But the circle was drawn, and the surrounding water elemental only moved his buttocks, and he reluctantly took three steps and two steps back to move towards the circle.

Bang! Qian Jing was staggered, and his forehead was bleeding. The cup shattered to pieces on the ground, and Raisa rushed over. I'm so sorry, I have a bad habit of throwing things. ”

Qian Jing only scratched a little skin on the camera, and the bleeding stopped immediately, but Raisa was still scrambling to find a band-aid in the store system, and Qian Jing looked at his hand in a daze. I didn't do anything wrong when I cast the spell just now, why did the round shield of the Water Locking Technique fail?

"The next time you encounter such danger, stay out of the way and don't think about grabbing the cup with your hands. "Raisa doesn't have a magic sense, so naturally she can't see the water elemental circle suspended in the air. Only after the spell has completely succeeded in forming a water shield, can ordinary people directly observe it with the naked eye.

"I ......" Qian Jing wanted to show off his magic, but he didn't succeed, so he couldn't say anything. He touched the wound on his head, and with a confused look, he went to the warehouse in the back.

The children's playground is still there, but only about a third of the area is left. After the bombings, it was no longer an evacuation center, so of course the flow of people dropped dramatically, and it didn't need as much floor space to accommodate children. Two doppelgangers of the ghost are playing with the children here, and she will win in checkers and lose in plasticine. Qian Jing greeted the ghost, in exchange for a big white eye: "You don't talk much, you didn't let me go out to play without a substitute!"

"I'm sorry, I went to study magic, but I went into a meditative state and forgot the time, and I ended up in a daze. How can I compensate you?" Qian Jing knew that he was at a loss, and hurriedly said.

"Show me some magic and I'll forgive you. "A ghost with a particularly dark color appeared in front of Qian Jing, this must be the body. "It has to be good-looking and fun magic to count, and don't take out street magic or anything to deceive people!"

The ghost still likes to play so much, and performing magic can satisfy her with compensation. Qian Jing just needed to try the spell again, so he concentrated and drew a circle of water locking techniques again.

The result is still the same. He completed the main structure of the spell, but the water elemental was unwilling to cooperate and did not provide it with energy, so the whole spell dissipated before it could take effect. Qian Jing sighed, and was about to explain the situation to the ghost, but he didn't expect the ghost to suddenly clapped his hands and shouted: "Little Qian Qian, I didn't expect you to really be able to cast magic!"

"Huh, what? Can you see me casting a spell?"

"Of course, I'm a powerful ghost, so I can see it. Your circle is very well drawn, and although I can't understand many of the details, I can feel that the circle has a stable structure, and it is indeed a framework for a mature spell. ”

"I didn't expect the ghost to be so capable. I'll test you, do you know why this spell didn't work out in the end?"

"Oh! You still want to get words out of my mouth! You have become bad with little money!" the ghost pouted: "Two mouthfuls of yang energy, I will reluctantly tell you." ”

Qian Jing leaned his head over, looking generous and righteous. The ghost shook his head: "Not now. Your physical and mental state is not good, and your yang energy will also become stinky, so just keep it on your books. It's the same reason you can't complete the spell. Go get a good night's sleep, show your momentum, and everything will be fine. ”

"Is that simple? Then I'm not worried. I can't sleep yet, at least I have to see what the store manager is arranging for it. I've been absent from work for so long, and I can't get away with it. And ......" Qian Jing lowered his voice and said, "Ghost, you know that I can use a stickman to work, so I will look at the work content first, and then I can find a way to work while resting." ”

"You're so bad. The ghost snorted, but still walked further back with the money mirror. Across the wall from the children's playground, the White Flag Grocery Store has built an import and export transshipment warehouse. A space passage that is always open hangs on one side of the wall, and through the circular opening, you can see that it is like a starry night sky, with small and constantly flickering points of light on the dark background. Two manual conveyor belts sit snugly next to the spatial aisle, the kind of steel that consists of a long row of rolling steel pipes, one for receiving things from the aisle and the other for transporting them inward.

The three fortress stars that Qian Jing had never seen were also in this room, all wearing magician's clothes. Two of them checked what had entered the fortress star, and the other checked the departing cargo. This room is connected to the back door of the warehouse, and other channel providers can only wait outside, whether it is receiving or sending goods.

The task assigned by Laisha to Qian Jing is to use the salesperson system to speed up the customs clearance of goods.

"Two other merchants from the Origin World have already arrived at Stronghold. They are not humanoids, and they don't usually care much about the production and demand of the stronghold, but they smell the gold of fate. The ghost made up the news of the fortress star in the past few days to Qian Jing: "Since they are not humanoids, they are inferior to us in terms of the harmonization of world rules." But there are many of them, and the speed of the total entry and exit will definitely be higher. ”

"Isn't the store manager ready to hire any more?"

"It's just a quick way to make a quick buck so that the White Flag grocery store can come back to life as soon as possible, and I don't want to hire another salesperson for that. Raisa also came to the warehouse and joined Qian Jing and the ghost in the conversation: "The people recruited here are not suitable to bring back to Earth. Stay, White Flag Grocery Store can open branches, but it doesn't have enough projects to support its own operations. ”

"How about stinky tofu? Soybean Sauce No. 1 is only sold to Liu Shawende now, but I believe it can be sold in a wide range of ways!"

"Food flavor enhancers are still prohibited in the Ring Alliance, and we can't use them in a big way. I investigated the situation of stinky tofu, and it is poisonous to the fortress stars, and only a very small number of great mage families have the ability to detoxify alchemy. If we only provide raw materials, this kind of business is not easy to do, and it certainly cannot be used as a pillar. ”

Qian Jing snapped his fingers: "Store manager, I found that stone slabs and leather are still used here to record words." Wouldn't it be profitable to bring in paper and printing presses?"

Raisa shook her head: "Technologies such as papermaking and printing are enough to enhance the overall strength of a civilization, and there is a word in the Ring Alliance to define it, which is called the spark of wisdom. The Alliance of the Rings prohibits the use of sparks of wisdom to distort the development of another civilization, so we can't touch things like papermaking and printing. The Fortress Star is a magical civilization, it is still full of life, and if you go down its own path, it is likely to burst out with sparks of wisdom that are even brighter than paper and printing. We can't think that what we think is good is good for others – especially when it comes to civilization. Only civilizations that are considered to be in a state of 'complete stagnation' by the Ring Alliance can inject sparks of wisdom into them. ”

"Okay, I see, there are so many restrictions, I have to retake the salesperson exam. Qian Jing rubbed his hands, "To get back to the point, how can I speed up the entry and exit work, and earn quick money before the competitors are strong." ”

"I don't know. Raisa spread her hands: "I can only see one prompt from the store manager's task system: this is not the store manager's job, and the salesperson must be arranged." ”

Well, there's a clear division of labor. Qian Jing held down the badge with one hand, opened the salesperson system with the other, and quickly found this "sorting" task. He read it carefully several times, for fear of missing the information. It turned out that his job was much like that of a sorter in a logistics system, where he had to turn on the system, check the goods against the registration records in the warehouse, and then designate a place for them.

Rather a boring job, even more terrifying than counting a warehouse full of unknown goods. However, life can't be filled with meditative adventures with a female magic teacher, or spending money around with a lot of money for entertainment, but there will always be these repetitive, mundane, and less interesting things to do.

Raisa yawned, then said, "I can make the spatial tunnel automatically deliver goods, but the fastest speed is only half a minute - I'm sure you can increase this speed." Also, this is a woven bag, and I'll leave it to you. A lot of bulky goods can't be shipped into the warehouse, and you need this. Qian Jing, I believe you have the ability to handle all this, right?"

Qian Jing nodded, and then went to work. Before trying to get the stickman to take over, he had to figure out the whole process. According to the task's help system, he followed the steps to select the goods that needed to be sent from the warehouse, and then watched it jump out of the spatial passage almost immediately.

"No delays, this is much more advanced than woven bags!"

"But this method is expensive and has a big impact on profits. "Woven bags are the cheapest, and you can also take out the goods in bulk, the only problem is that you need to move them out by hand." Small items are okay, large items have to use flat poles, and that can only be used by salespeople. ”

"Could it be that Raisa carried the goods herself?" Qian Jing felt more and more guilty, after all, he had delayed too much work.

"Who else? I'm a ghost, and I'm going straight through the woven bag, and I can't help at all. And my strength is very small, I will be tired after a while, and I need to replenish my yang energy. Raisa also had to open the continuous passage. Hmph, the Ring Alliance got the money from this, and they obviously didn't do anything!"

"I'll figure it out. Qian Jing no longer talked nonsense, but immediately put himself into work. It is better to start dreaming a thousand times than to start it once, and only by completing and understanding the whole process can he think of ways to improve by accumulating experience. He took off his coat and tossed it aside, lifted his pole and carried the woven bag, and began to bust between the space passage and the conveyor belt.

Raisa can only open an automatic lane, and can pass through two goods per minute. In the same time, Qian Jing can use the salesperson system to transfer in 20 to 30 goods, which improves the efficiency by ten times. If it is an ordinary employee, such an improvement can definitely be satisfied, but Qian Jing believes that he can do better.

The stickman does not have access to the salesperson system, which must be operated by his own hands, and as a human, Qian Jing's stamina and ability to stay focused are limited. He needs to rest, and at this point his efficiency immediately drops, which is one of the disadvantages. Second, the continuous space channel has to pay a fee to the Alliance of the Rings, assuming that the total volume of the entire channel project is certain, and the use of the space channel will greatly reduce the total revenue, which is inconsistent with the purpose of "making quick money". Third, the space channel is still shipped one by one, and with woven bags, although there is a delay, it can be shipped in batches, and it can even be transported to the warehouse on the earth at one time, and the rest is only to take it out of the bag one by one.

Qian Jing wiped his forehead, the sweat did not flow in vain, and an idea slowly took shape.
