Chapter 18 Walk the Flow
Just because the government doesn't take care of bad people doesn't mean they don't have to deal with tedious affairs, so when Zhou Xinyi and Brandy enter the government hall, they will find it full of scattered papers and busy civil servants.
But even so, there were people who rushed to meet them.
"Sorry! Two gentlemen, what kind of business do you want to handle? A girl with brown hair and freckles on her face asked.
"I need to apply for a new judge's seal. ”
Perhaps this kind of business is too rare, the girl was stunned for two seconds before she said in skillful words, "Yes, sir, but because of the mayor's large-scale repair of the railway, the government has received a lot of complaints and objections...... As a result, it takes us more time to handle normal business. ”
"Railroad?"
Zhou Xinyi asked, "I'm sorry, I just arrived in Jizhou City not long ago, and then I will tell me about the railway?" ”
"Of course, Mr. Judge," the girl did not doubt Zhou Xinyi's identity in the slightest, "this is the design of the Roman designer, Mr. Broma, who has developed an iron-skinned vehicle powered by steam...... He called this design a 'steam train', but a steam train could only run on something called a 'rail'. ”
"Mr. Mayor felt that this would allow ordinary people who were not good at using techniques, skills, and runes to move freely between cities, so he decided to build a railroad in the wasteland."
Zhou Xinyi and Brandy couldn't help but glance at each other, and both saw horror in each other's eyes.
It's like witnessing the idea that history is a circle, witnessing two different civilizations going down the same line.
The two civilizations even have different tech trees...... But history is such a coincidence, even the name of the train is the same.
"It's really good to promote people-to-people interactions." Zhou Xinyi said.
The girl also nodded, "Yes, I also support Mr. City Lord's decision, so that I can have a chance to see if the flowers in Wanyan City are really that beautiful." ”
As the girl spoke, she suddenly remembered her business, "Ah yes, Mr. Judge, it will take about seven days for the judge's seal to be approved, before that, you need to complete some procedures, do you have a record of the judge's registration in the government of Jizhou City?" ”
Seven-day ...... He couldn't even guarantee that the light curtain would last for seven days.
Zhou Xinyi handed the sign left by the Myler official to the girl, "Please arrange it as soon as possible." ”
The girl looked at the sign and was stunned for a moment, then she suddenly came to her senses and said, "Okay! I'm going to check your registration! ”
Her tone sounded like she would definitely help with no records.
"Please leave an address, and when the seal is approved, we will send it to you immediately!"
What Zhou Xinyi left was the address and room number of the hotel.
After leaving the government, Zhou Xinyi immediately thought about his next destination, "Three badges, representing order, monsters, and resources, which one should we go to first?" ”
"It depends on your needs," Brandy said, "but I must remind you that since the song has been missing for seventy years, these inaccessible badges will be temporarily hidden, pending the activation of a new holder. ”
"Once activated, the holder will receive the convenience of the badge, but they will also need to face the duties assigned to them by the camp."
Zhou Xin Yi said, "That is to say, it is better for me not to activate them at the same time, so as not to be too busy to die." ”
Seeing Bai Lan nodding, Zhou Xinyi continued to ask, "Then what do you think of these three camps?" ”
"I've been hunted by them," laughed Brandy, "more than once." ”
Zhou Xinyi couldn't help but gloat over what happened to him.
It seems that Brandy doesn't know much about the inner workings of the camp and can't give him reliable advice, and yes, how could such a large organization allow the enemy to spy on their affairs.
Order, Monsters, Resources...... Of the three, what does he need most?
For a newcomer heir, that's certainly a resource!
Zhou Xinyi was about to turn the road to the resource camp according to the map, when suddenly, he realized a problem.
What is considered a resource in the eyes of the aborigines and their heirs is probably not a resource.
What if the resources here refer to things like oil, wine, wheat? These resources are indeed tempting, enough to make him a rich man in this world, but they don't mean anything to him as an heir.
Excluding these possibilities, how do the indigenous people here obtain resources?
It's nothing more than exploring and doing business.
He had already experienced the danger of leaving the city from the local folk customs, and he didn't want to enter that dangerous and unfamiliar territory in advance because of the camp's order!
Excluding "resources" first, and then excluding the "monsters" that seem to be reverie, it seems that only "order" is consistent with his status as a judge.
Okay, he can go and see it first and be less in a hurry to make a decision.
The buildings of the Order Camp are made of white and brown squares, so that this kind of building looks like a pile of irregular building blocks, and for the sake of the beautiful structure, some of the walls are even left hollow in the middle, regardless of whether it is beautiful or not, Zhou Xinyi feels that sooner or later the load-bearing of this building will have problems.
Didn't people in this era play the game of stacking blocks together and then taking turns drawing them? This game will teach them that irregular bricks can easily collapse even if they stick to each other.
After entering the building, Zhou Xinyi was confronted with six black load-bearing columns, interspersed in the building like skewers of iron plate squid.
It seems that the designer also knew that this thing was going to collapse...... Zhou Xinyi couldn't help but complain.
"Do you sacrifice the layout of the building in exchange for the beauty of the appearance," for some reason, Brandy, who had been hunted down many times, also swaggered in, and was looking around with an expression of "I can't bear to look directly", "I don't know if the people who live here will complain." ”
Brandy, it turns out that you are also a person with humor cells.
"Sir," walked a man in a black suit from behind a load-bearing pillar, with a bitter gourd face that resembled that of an octopus, but with thicker eyebrows, "What's the matter with you?" ”
He didn't seem to have come to receive him, and his attitude wasn't even respectful.
Zhou Xinyi didn't trust his attitude very much, and swept around the camp, and found that this place was different from the liveliness of the government, the whole floor was deserted, and he was the only living person.
"Activate the badge," Zhou Xinyi had to take out the badge, "Do you know where the badge is activated?" ”
"Just give it to me." He took the badge with a natural movement.
Zhou Xinyi wasn't worried that he would snatch the badge, he could tell that this was just an ordinary person, at least he hadn't practiced martial arts or anything like that, and his single slim body didn't support him to pick up a weapon that was too heavy.
If the man suddenly ran away, he shot him in the leg.
Actually, this squidward ...... Oh no, this gentleman's demeanor was completely normal, and he expertly placed the badge into a tree hole-like machine, so that the badge was coated in a layer of crystal clear pulp.
It is a kind of occult device called "mouth wood", and the sap spit out forms a protective film, making the object stronger.
Soon, a blueberry-sized bead spat out from the mouth wood, and the man quickly tucked the bead into his trouser pocket.
His trouser pockets were baggy, and he could vaguely tell that he had a few of these beads stuffed.
The man handed Zhou Xinyi the badge with the pulp seal, "Here you go, so that the mouth wood will remember the mark of this badge." ”
After Zhou Xinyi took the badge, a woman broke down and ran out.
"Nope! You stinky painter, I said don't take advantage of my toilet time to receive my guests! ”
She rebuked loudly, "You're not an employee here, and don't pour me water while I'm talking, I can't help but drink it!" ”
The man did not have any shame of being found out if he did something wrong, but said very righteously, "I heard your boss say that you will be paid as much as you want to receive a few guests, and I will go to him in a few days to collect money." ”
The woman was angry, "The boss won't give it to you!" ”
After watching the man leave, the receptionist said very tiredly, "Sir, if you see him next time, you must ignore him, he is not a member of our camp at all." ”
"......" Zhou Xinyi was speechless, "Then did he make a mistake in the steps of doing things?" ”
“…… Not really. ”
In fact, Zhou Xinyi can understand this mood of being in a hurry to make money, after all, he used to be a busy social animal.
As long as you don't do anything wrong for him...... However, this lady should not be very acceptable.
"That gentleman left in a hurry, can you help me tell me what benefits and responsibilities he enjoys after holding the badge?"
The woman puffed out her chest proudly, "Of course, sir, that guy over there is only half-, and I dare say that he won't be able to answer your question even if he has time." ”
The woman said, "There are four levels of badges: three, two, first, and special, and your badge is a second-class badge." ”
"This badge corresponds to the position of judge, and you have the right to supervise the conduct of no more than a second-class officer, and to correct or report it."
"You will receive 650 quinlangs per week from the Order camp, and 2% of the profit after each "regulation". ”
"Your status is equivalent to a second-class official in Jizhou City."
"On the other hand, you need to review a batch of applications every month, and you only need to fill in the approval or disapproval."
"If there is a "control" incident in Jizhou City that cannot be dealt with, please also consciously participate. ”
"Regulation?" Zhou Xinyi asked.
The woman nodded, "If there is a large-scale crime, or if there is a threat to outsiders, it will be controlled by the order camp. ”
"After the control, whether it is the loot left by the perpetrators or the amount of compensation given by the government, it will be included in the overall profits for everyone to share."
"Don't underestimate this 2%, the accumulation is still very considerable!"
Zhou Xinyi nodded, and had a certain understanding of the badge.
He looked at the woman who was working hard, and he suddenly had a question when the social animal culture was deeply rooted in the bone marrow.
"So this time, is it just one person that you received with that gentleman? Whose salary is counted? ”
Zhou Xinyi regretted it after asking.
Because the woman had her mouth open, for a long time, not a single syllable came out of her throat.
The hall fell silent for a long time.
