Chapter 22: Unemployment Risk, Two Increases
Compared to the [Insect Bone Heavy Sword] in the merchant's hand, this [Simple Blunt Weapon] is really a bit unsightly.
But it doesn't want money!
Pick up some stones, weave some straw ropes, you can make weapons out, and there is also a strength bonus of 1 point, Lu Nan thinks it is very strong!
Loftus-Cheek liked the weapon too, and he took it in his hand and shook it a few times.
However, the bluestone was too heavy, and Chick's [strength] was too high, and there was some tearing sound from the straw rope.
Lu Nan asked Chick to stop, and then checked the situation of the [Simple Blunt Object].
Durability has been changed from [10] to [9].
It's also too undurable.
Fortunately, there are many stones, and the straw rope is not used up.
Make more [simple blunt objects], let Chick bring it over, and exchange the broken one for the other.
Lu Nan dragged the mouse and added [Quest Path] to Mipoleus, allowing him to make 9 more [Simple Blunt Weapons].
Then, Lu Nan pulled the perspective to Chick's body and manipulated it into the [Land of Dead Silence].
Reach level 2 [Dead Land], and the thorns used for trials become sharper and sharper.
Loftus-Cheek's same trial will also last 4 hours.
However, the improvement of [Dead Land] is related to [Star], and the improvement of Chick will definitely be higher.
As for how much it will be higher, we have to wait for Lu Nan to come back after work to know.
Lu Nan also arranged work for the two ignorant skeletons who were resting, and asked them to build the [Bone Arrow Tower] in the designated place.
After the construction was completed, Lu Nan asked them to quickly collect materials and prepare for the upgrade of the [Tower of Choice] from level 2 to level 3.
After making arrangements, Lu Nan switched back to his lord's unit and left the territory with the nameless bones.
He had just gone out to pick up stones to make weapons, and Lu Nan was heading west, and he didn't use any trees for [transformation] along the way.
Lu Nan walked to the north of the territory this time, and used up the number of [Reincarnation] transformations that were refreshed today.
The total number of undead plants reached 85.
There is still no supernatural material gift from the undead.
However, there will be 100 trees tomorrow, and Lu Nan is a little looking forward to seeing if the gift will be triggered again when the undead plant reaches the 3-digit number.
When Lu Nan began to [transform], the nameless bones began to be transplanted.
After Lu Nan's transformation is completed, add [Quest Path] to it, let it pick up materials after transplanting, and wait for Chick to come out, and it will enter the [Land of Dead Silence].
Although Nameless Bones has low agility and no combat ability, the increase in [Strength] can make it competent for more heavy work, and it is still valuable to let it undergo painful trials.
Don't want money anyway.
After the arrangement was made, Lu Nan took advantage of the time before work to pick up another 20 minutes of materials.
While picking up materials, Lu Nan found a problem.
The building materials around the territory are gradually decreasing.
Especially within more than ten meters around the territory, there are no [stones] and [clay] that can be picked up.
These materials will not be regenerated, so pick up a little less and reduce them.
There are still plenty of materials in the distance, but the ignorant skeleton in charge of picking up the materials moves very slowly.
And they need to return in advance before the soul fire is exhausted, so as to avoid the soul fire being exhausted before returning to the [graveyard].
Once you go back, the time will be more and more, which will affect the efficiency of the development of the territory.
Lu Nan planned to let Mipoleus try to make a cart, which was not too complicated, with wheels, and could fit two ignorant skeletons and nameless bones.
Let Cheek push them to work, and when they run out of soul fire, they can be picked up again.
In this way, they can save at least 20 minutes of travel time and can work until they faint.
Good idea.
Lu Nan dragged the mouse, pulled the perspective to Mipoleus's body, added [Mission Path] to it, and asked it to try to make [Cart].
7 points.
Lu Nan packed up, checked his territory again, and then closed the game and went out.
He will say hello to Yan Xue in advance today and go home before 7 p.m., so he won't miss the battle with the emerald beetle.
Just arrived at the unit.
Lu Nan received a message from Yan Xue and informed Lu Nan of the location of his attendance: "[Fusheng Block], hurry up." ”
[Evil Thought Seed] has been planted for nearly 48 hours, and Yan Xue's resistance has weakened significantly, and she is no longer as reluctant to contact Lu Nan as she was yesterday.
And through the [Despicable Eye], Lu Nan knew that she didn't have insomnia yesterday, and she fell asleep early like him.
By the day after tomorrow, the first [seed] will never be cleared, and she will be afraid of Lu Nan all her life.
After receiving Yan Xue's message, Lu Nan received the key and set off with Kevin and Chen Zixiu.
Lu Nan's mood today is much lighter than yesterday.
At this time yesterday, Lu Nanzheng was silent because he had swiped 3 1-star cards and it was difficult to deal with the emerald beetle.
Lu Nan played a piece of music, and the volume was lowered, so as not to disturb Chen Zixiu.
Kevin suddenly spoke: "Brother Nan, have you heard some news?" ”
Lu Nan stopped in front of the red light and asked, "What's the news?" ”
Kevin shook his legs, looking a little uneasy: "I heard that the children adopted by the Social Support Bureau will be sent to work in the Law Enforcement Bureau.
They are relatively young, they will be sent to work when they are 16 years old, and their salary demands are also low, I heard that they only need 1,500 credits a month......
After hearing this, Lu Nan immediately understood what Kevin was worried about.
If this news is true, the first to be replaced must be these temporary operators who do not have lifetime contracts.
Even Chen Zixiu opened his eyes and asked in disbelief, "Where did you hear that?" ”
Kevin was hesitant and didn't say the source of the news in the end, just said, "If this news is true, what are you going to do......"
Chen Zixiu's face was ugly: "I don't know ......"
Suddenly learning that he might lose his job, Chen Zixiu, who has been desperately taking care of his sick mother, fell to the bottom.
Lu Nan is not very anxious, and even being laid off is not bad news for him - he can not worry about the suspicion of the AI and keep an eye on the development of the territory with peace of mind.
The green light is on.
Lu Nan stepped on the accelerator and continued on his way.
The atmosphere in the car was a bit somber.
Chen Zixiu said in a low tone: "The salary of 1500 credit coins is too little, right?" ”
Kevin sighed: "The children adopted by the Social Support Bureau do not get a salary at all, they can only get the simplest living security, and the cost of survival is very low.
We earn 1,500 credits, we can't even afford to rent a house, it doesn't matter how much they earn, it's all in the Social Support Bureau anyway.
The Social Support Bureau should have calculated the accounts, and they can earn 1500 credits. ”
Chen Zixiu's tone was a little annoyed: "Those parents are really not things. ”
Lu Nan agreed with Chen Zixiu's words.
The Social Support Bureau seems to be a welfare organization, but it is actually a business led by the federal government with the participation of four companies, and it is engaged in a [maintenance monopoly].
If the parents give their children to them, they can get a small sum of money, 15,000 credits for boys and 20,000 credits for girls.
The Social Support Bureau relied on the mass production of prostheses to reduce costs and complete the transformation of these children.
When these children can work, they will be like cattle and horses, making ends meet, creating wealth for the company and the Federation.
And this business can only be done with the nod of the parents.
But unfortunately, not all parents are born to love their children, and many people know the fate of their children in the social support bureau, and still send their children in.
There are even people who specialize in having children as a business.
This is where Chen Zixiu's anger comes from.
But in the City of Dreams, all of this seems reasonable, and it doesn't seem to be worth the rage.
At least Kevin didn't think there was anything wrong with this, he ignored Chen Zixiu's words, and was still thinking about unemployment.
At half past eight, Lu Nan drove to the [Fusheng Block].
This is a street in the DC District, a real "rich area", and the people living here are much richer than the residents of [Kate Block].
Lu Nan parked the car, walked down, entered the scene, and saw Yan Xue again.
The two looked at each other.
Yan Xue behaved much more normal than yesterday, but the action of swallowing her saliva still exposed her nervousness when facing Lu Nan.
She looked away and continued to direct the operators on the scene, and no one noticed that this powerful and beautiful squad leader was afraid of Lu Nan.
Today's cases are still involving transcendents.
The deceased's name is [Mien Kate], and he is the deputy head of the internal affairs department of [Life Science], which can be said to be a high authority.
After Lu Nan and the three of them collected the body, they came outside and waited for the scene investigation to end.
While waiting, Chen Zixiu and Kevin were still distracted, obviously struggling with whether they would lose their jobs.
Lu Nan was also distracted, but he didn't have to worry about losing his job, but was thinking about things in the territory.
And when he saw an operator standing on the side of the street in the distance, waiting, waving his fist casually, he suddenly remembered something that he had ignored before.
If he exercises, can he also enjoy the bonus of [Destiny Reward] and get another boost?
