The sun rose and the moon set, and in the blink of an eye, Somo had stayed in Mingyue Town for three days.
During the past three days, he was not in a hurry to go to Hope City to get a license to work and earn trading points. Instead, he tried his best to explore the situation and policies of the territory.
The pile of white paper with information recorded in front of the table was all he gained.
"It's not good. I thought that going to the city would allow me to show my talents, but now I feel more free in the villages and towns."
"And the cost here is also low."
Facing the sunlight coming from the window of the guest house, Sumo leaned on the back of his chair and moved his fingers slightly on the tabletop.
The first page of the white paper records basic information about the territory.
in.
From Mingyue Town to Sangtian Town, there is a distance of 70 kilometers.
From Sangtian Town to the city, it is a long drive of nearly 150 kilometers.
This Hope City may not sound big at first, but in fact, after the expansion of three towns, the total area far exceeds ordinary people's imagination of a wasteland city.
At the same time, the two free towns and urban areas are not managed by one policy, but adopt a separate management system.
Every place, even every street, may correspond to different management methods.
For example, in urban areas, individuals are not allowed to take out weapons or equipment that contain force for any reason.
Once caught, you will be fined at the least, or stripped of your identity directly at the worst.
In this regard, there are no restrictions in Mingyue Town. Pedestrians can boldly put guns on their waists. As long as they don't fire, there won't be any problems.
In addition, daily consumption is also different in several places.
After staying at the guest house in Mingyue Town for three days, and spending some money on food and drinks, Sumo checked his expenses as of today.
27 o'clock.
Of course, this number is still a bit high, but compared with the urban area, it still pales in comparison.
In the urban area, renting the cheapest one-bedroom house costs 500 points. Just one day's rent plus deed tax, water and electricity costs a full 18 points.
In addition, the food and drinks inside are one level more expensive than outside. Once the consumption on both sides is calculated, it can be concluded that the figure is basically maintained at five times. The gap is so large that it is disappointing.
Of course, for the residents who have "bought a house" there for a long time, this is another matter.
Most of them have good jobs. Not only do they not have to pay rent, but they also do not have to pay status tax, local tax and other miscellaneous taxes.
The fixed monthly income alone can ensure that they live an extremely comfortable life in the territory.
"If I go to work in the city, I can't take care of Huang Xiaojuan, I can't bring Oreos in, and I can't even research and make weapons there."
"It's worse than just finding a job in this field outside!"
Not working means sitting in vain.
According to the current consumption, the 1,000 points saved can only last for two months at most.
When he thought that he would have to purchase some materials and equipment to research weapons, and the cost might more than double, Sumo couldn't help but shudder, and gave up the idea of going to work in the city.
"Fortunately, I chose a free market electronics worker. I just need to find a job in the town."
There were at least dozens of jobs related to electronic workers in the original identity list, but only this 10,000-point identity had four "free markets" in front of it.
And this is exactly the reason why Sumo chose.
Putting the place of work in the hands of others is not as satisfying as going to the market to select customers yourself.
He didn't come here to make money. It was the last word to have a lot of tools and instruments and enough free space.
"Hey, Xiaojuan, you're awake!"
Hearing the shaking of the chair, Huang Xiaojuan, who was still nestled in the bed, opened her tired eyes and nodded dully.
Her identity was that in order to save money, Somo only bought ordinary plantation workers. Now, after arriving in the territory and reporting, she will be automatically arranged to work.
Now, after working for two days, I feel that this work is ten times more intense than before in Qingguo territory.
Huang Xiaojuan's mentality has also undergone certain changes.
"Brother Zong, are you going to the city today?"
"Well, I have to go check out my job and see if I can rent a house."
"Ah? Do you want to rent a house in the city?" When Huang Xiaojuan heard about renting a house, she suddenly woke up and seemed a little unusually sensitive.
"No, I'm going to find a job in the town. Then we'll drive together!"
Sitting in front of the bed, Su Mo touched Huang Xiaojuan's forehead lovingly. He didn't say anything, but he still felt a little distressed in his heart.
When he purchased his identity before, he never expected that eight years later, the Tianyuan Territory still retained the most primitive human labor in agriculture, with not a single automated machine in sight.
And find out the reason.
Without the control of system upgrades, those magical plants brought back and the seeds discovered and cultivated later have basically gone astray.
For example, the "Xinghuo No. 3" wheat, which is now approaching the harvest period, can achieve a terrifying yield of 2,500 kilograms per mu, but the price is the same as fragile paper before drying.
If we really use an industrial harvester to harvest it, I'm afraid we won't be able to harvest even two hundred kilograms in the end, and the rest will be crushed into slag.
On the other side, the "Youyu No. 1" rice grown near the river has similar problems.
But its problem lies in the fact that the growth status of each plant is different, some mature early and some mature late.
This results in the need to manually distinguish and then pick according to batches, so as to ensure that the particles are returned to the warehouse to the greatest extent.
Under the huge workload, Huang Xiaojuan, a semi-"housewife", naturally couldn't bear the intensity of the work at first, and basically fell asleep every night when she came home.
"Ah, Brother Zong, you have to work in the town!"
"That's great. Bah, bah, bah!"
In the first half of the sentence, Huang Xiaojuan was still a little uncontrollably happy, but at the end, she changed her words again and again.
This time, it made both of them laugh, and it swept away the haze caused by ordinary life.
"You'd better go to work after dinner. I'll take a ride to the city. If I don't come back in the evening, you'll have to eat alone."
"By the way, I'll transfer 100 points to you. You can use it first if you have anything to do."
Open the game interface, Sumo raises his hand and swipes, 100 points are deducted, leaving 942 points.
The remaining three digits were certainly a huge sum of money in the Qingguo Territory, but they were not even considered well-off in the Tianyuan Territory.
At best, it can only be said to be slightly resistant to risks.
However, after having a plan, Sumo was not as anxious as ordinary residents. He waited until Huang Xiaojuan was sent away after eating, and then strolled to the place where he could catch a ride.
"How much does it cost if I go to the city?"
Standing in front of a capable car that could accommodate more than ten people, Sumo stepped forward to inquire about the price.
"It's 2 o'clock in the West District, 3 o'clock in the East District, leaving in 24 minutes!" He raised his hand and glanced at the time, and the man quoted the price without raising his head.
The West District is mainly an industrial park with a large number of jobs, and is the main place for work between the two towns and the city.
The East District is where residents live, with public facilities and residents' welfare facilities.
As luck would have it, after checking that the location of his work report was in the East District, Sumo could only take out 3 points again and had no choice but to get in the car.
Tianyuan territory can be different from Qingguo territory.
In the latter case, he could make a big deal, plunder enough trading points, and then leave without worrying about any risks.
But in the former case, Sumo fully believed that with the current management system of the territory, he might have just gained a batch of points on the front foot, and the territory guard team would arrive quickly on the back foot.
When the time comes, not only will the looted points be confiscated, but there is a high probability that they will be demoted to hard labor and have to work for free for several years before their sin can be ended.
"I still have to find a more serious job quickly and make more money."
He walked onto the bus and sat down in the back row. Looking at his colleagues who looked tired on other seats, Sumo turned his head to the outside of the bus and his thoughts began to wander.
He has no shortage of fantastic ideas.
In terms of basic skills, he also has the foundation he has laid before, which is enough to do some ordinary work.
Even when it comes to breaking through specific difficulties, with the help of system upgrades, Sumo is not afraid at all.
Right now, the difficulty is that there is no space for him to perform and a stage for him to shine.
"The main economic lifeline of Mingyue Town is basically catering and small commodities. There are very few shops related to core manufacturing or automated manufacturing. Even if I create the products, the probability that these people will be willing to pay is not high."
"Sangtian Town is mainly focused on planting and handicrafts. Under the current situation, if I can develop a machine that can solve the problem of harvesting these "fragile" plants."
I was thinking about business opportunities.
Although he has never actually been to Sangtian Town, judging from the information he collected, Sumo is already leaning towards this strange town.
Moreover, Huang Xiaojuan, a plantation worker, can also be assigned a job in Sangtian Town, and it is even easier.
No matter how you think about it, this is the best choice.
However, Sumo still had reservations about the specific arrangements until he saw the shops recruiting workers in the free market.
Soon, the speed of the Neng car was not slow after it started, and it only took nearly an hour to send everyone to the city.
With the information he had collected before, Sumo was no longer as surprised as he was before in this strange city with many high-rise buildings.
Some are just a little lonely and indifferent.
After seven years, this place has evolved into a wasteland city that only recognizes "money".
Those spacious and bright high-rise buildings and those companies with huge signs have no corresponding identities. Not to mention entering, even if you come within a hundred meters, you will be warned.
Although there was no contempt in the eyes of the guards patrolling the workers who came from outside the town, it was this disregard that made people feel depressed.
In order to save time as much as possible, Sumo did not familiarize himself with the terrain when he came to the city for the first time.
After visiting a few shops along the street, I followed the map and reached the destination of my trip.
A seven-story building located next to the Third Affiliated Hospital of Regenerative Medicine.
There is a huge sign hanging in front of the door, which reads: "Free Market Center".
"Hello, I'm from Free Market Report!"
Without identity, it is difficult to move around in the city.
There was still nearly a hundred meters away, and the two security guards who were watching the door were already looking over with eager eyes. So Mo had no choice but to take out the ID he had in his pocket, wave it up, and shout from a distance.
Now, after seeing the bright yellow ID in his hand, the two security guards nodded and signaled to let him go.
After walking past the warning pole, he carefully walked through the door into the hall. Only after entering the inside did Somo take a breath.
In order to prevent violent incidents in urban areas, there are indeed many more defensive and regulatory facilities than in towns.
Just fifty meters closer to the Free Market Center Building, Sumo could feel a strong gaze on him.
And this feeling is not unfamiliar at all, it is very much like the muzzle of a gun is being aimed, and it will be triggered at any time.
"Well, the second floor is for free market catering workers, the third floor is for free market planting workers, and my electronics workers are here."
"Hmm? On the top floor?"
After following the signboard and looking up from the bottom, Sumo realized that the place he was reporting to was actually on the top floor. He grinned and could only start climbing along the building.
Of course, there is no elevator inside the building.
It's just that every time you use this thing, no matter how many floors you sit on, it costs an extremely expensive 5 transaction points.
The price is simply outrageous.
Although he was in good physical condition as he climbed the stairs, Somo was still a little out of breath after reaching the seventh floor.
Looking around, the seventh floor is as empty as expected.
Apart from the fact that the decoration is the same as the first floor, which is quite magnificent, there are only two staff responsible for guiding in the entire hall.
"Hello, I'll report!"
Handing the work permit to one of the round-faced girls, Sumo quickly completed a simple entry form in her slightly surprised eyes.
The things filled in are very simple. They are probably the academic qualifications on earth, the major studied, the skills possessed, and the desired salary level.
In order to suit his status, Sumo did not dare to be too high-profile.
I just randomly filled in an undergraduate school, majoring in electric power, and listed about one-tenth of the skills I knew, and handed it in.
According to the information from the previous investigation, it is not easy to find a job in Hope City with these skills, but in Sangtian Town, it is easy to find a job.
Sure enough, the round-faced girl took it and looked at it, then handed back two pieces of printing paper recording the work of Mingyue Town and Sangtian Town.
"Hello, Mr. Su Youzong, here are the shops in two towns that are recruiting workers. The specific conditions and benefits have been clearly listed."
"You can do some research first and find some stores that you like, and then I will compile a detailed information sheet for you."
"Okay, thank you." Holding the printing paper, Sumo smiled and nodded his thanks, and casually sat down nearby to read it.
