The night on the alien planet is getting darker, but Wang Zhifan and his men are still working hard in the mines, with little free time to rest.
After all, the chief of the mining base has said that the mining team is only given 4 hours of rest every day.
Such a perverted work and rest arrangement is undoubtedly inhumane and very stupid.
On this first night, Wang Zhifan observed that many miners were gradually unable to support themselves and their mining efficiency dropped significantly. It is hard to imagine what they will become like if they continue like this in the future.
At this moment, it is already late at night. According to the regulations of the base commander, the miners still have at least 3 hours of work to complete, but in the No. 10 mining team led by Wang Zhifan, this does not seem to be the case.
Seeing a spacious location in the south area of the mine, Wang Zhifan summoned all the miners and security team members and announced his management strategy in front of everyone.
"Everyone! I have called you all here now to announce something! That is, you can have a rest today! This is to reward you for your hard work!
It will be the same in the future. , as long as the basic tasks of the day are completed, you can rest directly, regardless of the working hours requirements!
But you also know the requirements from the commander, so everyone will rest in place in the mine for the time being, and return to the base collectively when the time comes!"
As Wang Zhifan announced humanized management! As soon as he landed, the more than a hundred people in front of him cheered, and each one let out an excited roar in the cockpit of their respective mecha.
After a while, these people tilted their heads on their seats and snored one after another. It was obvious that they were exhausted.
“You guys can go to sleep too, leave all the guarding tasks to me.”
After discovering that most of the miners quickly fell asleep, Wang Zhifan then asked the security team members who were guarding the surroundings in combat mechas. He ordered them not to worry about everyone's safety.
"Captain! We are not sleepy yet! We are with you!"
These team members seemed a little touched by Wang Zhifan's concern and care, and immediately cheered up and expressed their stance collectively.
But in fact, the reason why they didn't want Wang Zhifan to be responsible for the vigil of so many people by himself was because they heard that there had just been a monster in the north area of the mine, and they were still a little nervous. They were also a little worried that Wang Zhifan could not protect the safety of everyone by himself.
Wang Zhifan immediately straightened his face when he saw them trying to hold on, and reprimanded:
"If the captain wants you to rest, just rest! Looking at your faces, do you think you are not sleepy? Is that possible? You still don’t believe in my captain’s strength? ? Are you worried about being attacked by some monster? "
For a moment, his words reminded everyone of the scene when they encountered a swarm of battle beetles on the bus. At that time, everyone thought something was going to happen, but the captain in front of them One person easily solved the problem.
After a while, the security team members guarding the perimeter of the hundreds of miners also began to sound like they were sleeping soundly, and fell asleep together with the surrounding miners.
Wang Zhifan was very satisfied when he saw this. It was very important for him that these people could get enough rest time.
Because what he needs is for them to complete the mining task for a month, not to work hard in the first few days and faint or die suddenly in the next few days.
That is to say, the extra rest time he arranged for them was not out of mercy, but out of necessity to complete the dungeon mission.
“You also need to pay attention to your work and relax. A stupid commander like that in the base who only extends working hours will have no future. It is more cost-effective to have sufficient rest to bring about efficient working status.”
< br>While thinking about it, Wang Zhifan left a dream me clone in place to guard, while he quietly went elsewhere.
For a person with his physique, rest is something that can be ignored. Even if he doesn't sleep for a whole year, it will have no effect.
The powerful strength has liberated his freedom. Within the known enemy range of the current copy, there is no need for him to stay in place to guard. Just leaving a clone is enough to deal with most situations. At worst, unexpected situations arise. He then relies on dreaming and breaking dreams to transfer back.
After a short period of time, his true self came to the north area of the mine, where many monsters had appeared before.
He chose to come here to take a look because he had a conversation with William Glenn, the captain of the No. 2 mining team in charge here not long ago, using his communication watch and learned about some strange situations.
"Captain Wang, as you can see, the caves that those monsters came out of are all here, but they are almost gone, and in a while they may not leave any traces."
At this moment, under the guidance of William Glenn, Wang Zhifan came to a remote corner of the north area of the mine.
The light of the miner's lamp shines on the ground, and the two of them can find a row of shallow pits the size of washbasins. As time goes by, these shallow pits are slowly smoothing themselves out.
"It's very strange... There are absolutely no living creatures or machines in the underground, but it can repair the holes on the surface by itself... It's hard to say that this is a natural phenomenon."
Wang Zhifan's powerful perception He immediately scanned the surroundings and underground, but just like when he came during the day today, he found nothing unusual. Only the monster cave on the surface disappeared automatically, which was very unusual.
"I have reported this matter to the base... In addition, because my mining team suffered too many casualties in today's monster attack, I will most likely be fired."
The middle-aged white-looking security captain William Glenn then sighed and said goodbye to Wang Zhifan.
"I'm sorry to hear this, but I think the universe is so big, there will definitely be a better job suitable for you."
Wang Zhifan, who has learned about the rules and regulations of the base, understands what this person said That's right, there was a bit of regret on his face.
This is indeed the case. As a security captain, he failed to fulfill his duty to protect the miners and will most likely be fired from his job.
And the dismissal is already a relatively good result for him. Otherwise, according to the development of events this evening, if Wang Zhifan, a powerful foreign aid, had not arrived in time, he and his people would have been completely destroyed by the monster. inside.
"Haha, Captain Wang, I accept your encouragement... By the way, in the future, for those miners who are still alive under me, the base will probably be managed by you. You have to make relevant preparations."
William Ge Ren smiled and replied.
"Leave it all to me? The higher ups should dispatch a new captain, right?"
Wang Zhifan was a little speechless upon hearing this. He really didn't want to add people to the team, because adding people would mean Adding mining indicators makes management more difficult.
"There is a high probability that it is you, because you have proven that you can adapt to this dangerous mine. Those above prefer to leave tasks to capable people."
William Glenn smiled a bit after hearing this, as if he was saying that your boy will be blessed in the future.
Wang Zhifan couldn't help but feel a little helpless after hearing this, but just like what the other party said, the situation might really develop like this, so he basically could only accept it. In this way, the two chatted for a while. Wang Zhifan learned some secrets of this work from William Glenn, an old employee, and William Glenn also tried to find out some of his secrets, such as the origin of the Lupus Mecha.
The surviving members of the No. 2 mining team who finished the finishing work evacuated the mine first. The No. 10 mining team in charge of Wang Zhifan also completed the work a few hours later. The miners and security guards The team members were woken up from their sleep, left the mine and took the bus back to the base.
The whole process can be said to be smooth sailing. There were no monsters suddenly popping up to cause trouble, and there was no one who didn't have the foresight to challenge Wang Zhifan's authority as captain.
After returning to the base, Wang Zhifan's personal time suddenly became more free. Those under him began to rest, and the base took over all safety issues, so he did not need to worry about it at all.
Feeling a little bored, he went to the base store to browse and see for himself the most mysterious place in the base.
As shown by the information he obtained in advance, the base store does not occupy a large area, maybe only thirty square meters, but the items sold in it are quite complete, enough to attract miners or other employees with wages to go crazy. Consumption.
"Captain Wang, our store sells everything. All kinds of cold weapons, hot weapons, protective equipment and even combat mechas. As long as you have money, you can order it. You can choose from food, even the kind of processed food. The prepared interstellar dinner can also be transported to the base within three days. If you want special services, we can arrange it as soon as possible..."
At this moment, at the small window of the unprepossessing base store, there is a A fat "human" clerk with green skin stood on the inside, and Wang Zhifan stood on the outside.
The clerk recognized his identity as the captain, felt that he was a potential customer, and began to sell hard.
"You can really do anything? Can you help me complete this month's results?"
The green-skinned clerk in the small store window was so boastful. Wang Zhifan asked jokingly, after all, he has no need for ordinary supplies now and only cares about completing the mission.
"Well... I can definitely help, just in terms of price..."
The green-skinned clerk at the window heard his joking words and surprisingly did not feel embarrassed. , instead he rubbed his fingers habitually, as if the price needed to be discussed.
"Can you really help? It's not good to lie to others, my friend."
Seeing that his expression didn't look like he was making nonsense, Wang Zhifan suddenly became interested and continued to ask.
The clerk lowered his voice, slightly leaned his head out of the window and said to him mysteriously:
“Captain Wang, you may not know the situation of our base commander. His performance has been poor for a month, and I heard he will be fired soon.
At his age, where can he find a decent job after he is fired? So he must be able to find one before he leaves. Just grab it!
There is something special about making money. As long as he can afford the price, he will definitely arrange what he can do. Otherwise, why would he suddenly bother you people? Just a reminder!
Don’t worry, we have made an agreement with the chief, and this is the situation. If we can get the money, everything will be easy to discuss!
He has a big head and we have a small head. You don’t have to go to him personally and cause extra trouble in the company’s procedures. It’s better for everyone to make a deal through me..."
This clerk These words actually encouraged Wang Zhi It can be said that Fan bribes the base commander to achieve his own goals.
"This clerk can't be arranged by Kaibo Company to fool fools... How can he say it so openly..."
Suddenly, Wang Zhifan was surprised. He found that he had found a new customs clearance route, but he was not very sure about the authenticity of the route. Maybe he came here specifically for fishing.
But he also thought of the various ridiculous regulations in this mining base, and felt that it was not impossible.
After all, this place does not have the atmosphere of striving to improve, but more like a mess of a cheating industry. It is unknown whether it will be sold by the boss who covers everything.
Seeing Wang Zhifan's hesitation, the green-skinned clerk at the window added fuel to the fire and continued:
"Captain Wang, you don't believe it because of your expression, so I'll tell you the truth. Yes, as long as you can afford this amount, your mining team will be able to add five miners tomorrow who will not occupy the performance quota, making it much easier for you to complete your monthly performance. It is absolutely cost-effective.”
"Can it still be done like this? Aren't you afraid that the upper management will find out that the number of miners does not match?"
The statement of clearly marked prices made Wang Zhifan feel unconvinced. This was already a serious deception of the upper management of the company, and the problems were very serious when found out. big.
"Haha... How can a mine dug by a dead man be so easy to investigate? There are no biochemical surveillance in the mine! Besides, you must not die of exhaustion according to the company's regulations. This is the valuable experience of our predecessors!"< br>
The green-skinned clerk replied immediately.
"Okay... let me think about it first. I don't have that much money in my card at the moment. Unless you support the loan, there is no way."
Feeling more and more that this was an unspoken rule of the base, Wang Zhifan had some ideas to try, but the financial conditions did not allow him to do so, so he asked tentatively.
"Loans are not possible! We only need cash! It's okay even if you don't have cash collateral."
The clerk answered without any hesitation, and then took another look at the green robe hanging around Wang Zhifan's waist. Emperor Dao said:
“For example, Captain Wang, the weapon hanging on your waist looks good, and it should be sold to the interstellar. "Customers in the market who like these ancient gadgets, why don't you give me a closer look and let me estimate the price?"
The clerk asked tentatively, but Wang Zhifan couldn't agree to this request. The Qingdi Sword was his. The only legendary weapon, it would be a big joke if he sold it, so he shook his head decisively and responded:
"No, this knife is my family heirloom. I won't sell it. I'll go back and look for something more suitable."
After saying that, he left in a hurry, as if he was going to Prepare for this.
A few seconds after Wang Zhifan left, a few meters behind the green-skinned clerk, a doubtful voice suddenly sounded in the air:
"The appraisal technique told me the quality of the equipment on that person just now. Extremely high, is there something wrong...
It's just an intermediate version, there shouldn't be players with such good equipment... It seems that I need to pay more attention to him."
< br>
It turns out that the green-skinned clerk is not the real base store merchant. There is a mysterious manipulator hidden behind him!
And this person is a player, a player with the same SVIP status as Wang Zhifan! (End of this chapter)
