Chapter 28 Labor for Food Program

Theoretically, the system will not give useless tasks, and each task will change according to the player's execution. There are no fixed tasks in "Zero", only preset tasks. The task of liberating Zizhuo should be a national guardian beast task left for RB players. If the preset process is followed, a certain RB player should release her, and then her hatred for Hong Jun will lead to a series of attacks on the entire community. China's hatred, as long as that rb player is not too stupid, Zizhuo will completely become rb's national guardian beast, and then fight against Chinese players. But people are always changeable, and players will not follow the game settings, so "Zero" has this changeable feature. Although Zizhuo is the default guardian beast for RB players, unfortunately they failed to complete the task, but I completed the task. The reward for this task is actually Zizhuo's favor. Now that I have completed the task, Zizhuo's favor has been transferred to me. The system cannot deprive players of the rewards they deserve, so Zizhuo became my prize.

According to the above inference, that is to say, Zizhuo is not actually arranged for the players as a trouble. Leader Hong Jun entrusted her to my care. It is actually a manifestation of the will of the system. Its purpose is to let Zizhuo assist me. She is Reward content. Therefore, although Zizhuo seems to be troublesome, she should actually be a powerful helper.

Although her attitude is still stinky now, it can be seen that it is almost like a little girl acting coquettishly, and she does not mean to hate me at all. Now that I know she doesn't reject me, it's time for me to study how to use this super helper. Although it is a reward, the main system of "Zero" will not actually give me an invincible helper. Zizhuo should have a limited range of use and special abilities, and it is impossible for him to use his full strength to help me. This is the trouble with "Zero". There are no rules at all, and you have to study the benefits of rewards yourself.

"Zizhuo."

"What are you doing?" She still sounded unkind.

I said tentatively: "I am actually just a dozen construction workers. Although your old man asked me to watch you, you also know that with my power, I will definitely not be able to stop you from doing what you want to do."

"As long as you know."

I smiled and said: "Hey, although I know this, I have to follow you. But I also have my own things, so it's impossible to follow you like this all the time. I don't have that much time! You are locked up alone. It must have been very lonely for so many years. Even though you are out now, you still don’t have anyone to talk to, otherwise you wouldn’t be so polite to me. Is my guess right? "

Zizhuo didn't realize this at first. The coquettish method of dumping the scoundrel on me was actually a subconscious behavior on her part. This can be understood psychologically as a pre-emptive defense measure against loneliness, that is, trying to be as cute as possible to get more love. . Zizhuo wouldn't have realized that her behavior was abnormal if I hadn't told her, but when I said so, she immediately reacted. After carefully thinking about his behavior, Zizhuo found that his behavior towards me was not normal. If she was really that arrogant, she should just kill me. Being with me for so long is not normal.

I don't want to wait for her to answer my question. She can't say this kind of thing, and I don't want to make her angry. After confirming that she had reacted, I continued: "Since you are afraid of being alone, how about we be friends? If you follow me, I guarantee you will have a lot of fun."

"Friends?" Zizhuo seemed a little hesitant. Her arrogant self-esteem made her feel that she shouldn't be too kind to individuals without strength, but she didn't want to be too lonely. So it's really hard to decide.

I knew she wouldn't be able to accept it right away, and I didn't intend to let her accept it right away. When doing business, you have to shout and sell low. If you want to sell for fifty, you have to shout for sixty first and wait for others to counter-offer. If I call out my friend, I can at least make Zizhuo a neutral and slightly inclined existence towards me. With this foundation and the amplifier of time, I will soon be able to hold her in my hands. I am very good at coaxing children. I even played a guest role as a 'nanny' dad at Essinger's Sea Clan Nursery School!

"Zizhuo, if you can't accept it right away, then try my other proposal."

"Another proposal?"

"It doesn't matter if you don't want to be friends with me. How about we be fellow travelers first? Just follow me wherever I go. Watch what I do. If you think it's fun, just play together. If you don't like it, just don't follow me. Why? Like? Is this proposal acceptable? Anyway, you have nothing to lose."

Zizhuo thought for a moment, then nodded: "Okay. I accept this proposal. But I have requirements."

"I also have a request. You say it first. I'll see if I can accept it."

Zizhuo immediately said bluntly: "My request is that no matter what you do, as long as I don't want to do it, you can't force me."

"That's no problem. Besides, do you think I forced you?"

"That's right too!"

I continued: "Then it's time to state my request. First, there are certain places that involve my personal privacy. When you go to such a place or a similar incident occurs, I will notify you to avoid it. You are not allowed to peek into my privacy. *."

Zizhuo nodded. "That's reasonable, no problem."

I extended another finger. "Second, you can't attack my friends or destroy my things."

Zizhuo thought for a moment and said, "It's okay if you don't destroy things, but what if your people insult me ​​or attack me?"

"Who dares to recruit you like you? Except for a hapless guy like me, no one else has time to hide!"

"But what if it happens?"

"Okay. You have the right to self-defense. If someone provokes you first, you are free to fight back. But it's best to control your strength. Don't burn down a whole city just to kill one person."

"That's no problem."

"Okay, that's all for now. Now let's go."

"Where to go?"

"You'll know when you go. I guarantee you'll like it."

In fact, the place I want to take Zizhuo to is the base camp of the demon clan. Even though Zizhuo is tens of thousands of years old, her mental age is only fifteen or sixteen years old, and she is still in the rebellious stage. Just like many children who learn to smoke and go to dance clubs when they are fifteen or sixteen, Zizhuo especially likes rebellious things at this age, and the more she likes unbearable things. By heaven's standards, demons are a bunch of scum. So she must like it.

Along the way, Zizhuo kept asking me where I was going. Finally, I got tired of being asked and told her. "Go to the demon headquarters."

When Zizhuo heard that it was the Demon Headquarters, his voice began to tremble. But she was not frightened, but excited. "Are you talking about those guys who are always against Heaven?" Zizhuo asked me excitedly.

"What do you mean by always going against heaven? We all have different ideals and different values, and some minor frictions are to be expected." I lectured like an old scholar.

"Tch, do you think I really don't understand anything?" Zizhuo said proudly: "Several large-scale decisive battles between heaven and demons took place before I was locked up. At that time, the sky was dark and the earth was dark. It's better to die. Tens of millions of demons and millions of gods, you actually call it a small friction?"

I said to her solemnly: "Don't take things too exaggeratedly. This world is just a giant machine. We, no matter we are stronger than you, or even those above." I pointed to the sky.

"You mean that old guy?"

I know that Zizhuo is talking about the Hongjun leader. I shook my head: "He's not qualified yet. I'm talking about the place above."

"Is there anyone above him besides him?"

"You really don't know, so why don't you just play tricks on me?"

"Of course I really don't know! What are you talking about? Although that old immortal is annoying, his strength is nothing to say. Is there anyone better than him?"

"Of course there is. Although the leader is very powerful, he is still a lower-level god after all. If he sees a higher god, he will bow down as well."

Zizhuo shook his head: "I really can't imagine what kind of power it is. Even that old immortal has to bow down."

"If you want to know more, I'll take you to see him later."

"Do you know a higher god?"

"Don't look down on people!"

"You're not thick to begin with!"

I didn't bother to argue with her. He directly continued the topic just now: "Even if the upper gods are like you and me, as well as the common people below, we are all the same. The big machine of the world is running all the time. This kind of operating law is what we It's God's will. Once someone wants to go against heaven, there is only one structure - he will be crushed into powder and disappear from the world in an instant. You feel that a war in which tens of millions of gods and demons died is an extremely terrifying one. Is there a war? I tell you, it's not at all. Even the sum of events, war, is just a tiny part of God's will, let alone any single war. It's because the frog sat at the bottom of the well that he felt he understood The entire sky. Only those who stand outside the well and see the boundless starry sky will know that the vastness of the sky cannot be measured by themselves."

"You make it sound like I don't know anything. Don't forget that I'm much older than you. I'm tens of thousands of years old anyway, and I'm already a god even before your ancestors were born. How dare you educate me? !”

"There is no end to learning!" I sighed deeply, and then pointed down. "We're here, let's go down."

The demons have been much quieter since Qinglong killed the little white dragon last time. At least there are still four holy beasts in heaven who can suppress the scene. The demons are aware of their weakness. Knowing their own shortcomings is not a bad thing. Compared with ignorant brave men, at least they still have strong hope.

I landed directly on the square of the demon headquarters. All the destroyed buildings here have been repaired. But the plants haven't had time to make up for it. Looking at it now, it feels weird. After last time, there are almost no demons who don’t recognize me. When they saw me coming, they all saluted me warmly and said hello. Zizhuo followed and looked at these monsters curiously.

"Why are they all saluting you? I don't think these guys are weaker than you!"

I pointed to my head. "Do you really think that you are a master if you can fight? The strong here are the real strong! You can only kill people, but no one will salute you like this."

Zizhuo snorted angrily, but soon couldn't help but got curious again. "What's that over there? It looks delicious."

I took a casual glance. "You must not touch the demon fire. Although you are a flame, that thing looks like fire, but it is not fire at all. It will hurt you."

"Anyway, just don't move."

As I was talking, Shuixu's voice suddenly came from in front of me. "Old friend. You are finally back. I was just worried about how to find you!"

"What do you want from me?"

"Let's talk after we come in. Let's talk after we come in." Shuixu politely led me to the room. He suddenly noticed Zizhuo behind me. "Who is this...?" Zizhuo's power is too strong. If she wanted to hide her aura, she would never be able to detect it at Shuixu's level. So he thought he was a powerless person.

As I walked, I introduced: "This is the daughter of leader Hong Jun."

thump. Shuixu, who was crossing the threshold, didn't cross it for a moment. He fell down and chewed mud. He got up and trembled and muttered: "Hong... Hong Jun's leader...?"

"I have nothing to do with that old immortal, don't get me involved with him." Zizhuo said angrily.

I quickly moved closer to Shuixu's ear and whispered: "They are having a temper!"

Shuixu nodded understandingly. Then he wiped the sweat from his head. "Well, what do you call Miss?"

"Just call me Fanyang."

"Fan Yang..." Shui Xu repeated it several times, and his voice suddenly became louder: "Fan Yang? Your name is Fan Yang? Are you the second sun?"

"What's wrong?" Zizhuo didn't seem to think there was anything wrong with this, but looking at Shuixu's reaction, he knew that this kid was very frightened. If I hadn't helped him up just now, he would have fallen down again now. Got off.

I carried him directly to the edge of the table and threw him on the chair. "Tell me first, why are you looking for me?"

Shuixu looked at Zizhuo for a long time, and finally asked us to sit down before speaking to me: "That's it. You also know that the birth rate of our demon tribe is a bit high recently, but the little demons cannot survive by relying on spiritual energy alone. They have to have something to eat. This mountain is originally very spiritual and rich in products, but it can’t handle the large number of us!”

I quickly stretched out my hand to stop him from continuing. "Stop it, I understand. There is a shortage of food, right? Do you want us to help get food?"

"Yes, that's what it means."

I nodded: "This is easy to handle. But it's definitely not possible to give it for free."

"Of course. I understand. So what kind of deal do you want?"

I thought about it and said, "It's definitely not possible to pay directly. Firstly, I don't really need the money, and secondly, you don't have any money either. How about we do a work-for-relief program?"

“Credit for work?”

"Yes. That is to say, if you send someone to help me, it is considered as helping me. When I pay my wages, I will directly calculate them in grain. Do you think this is okay?"

"This is doable, but the problem is that we have all kinds of monsters here. What do you want us to do? We can't do everything!"

"Of course I know this. I only ask you to provide some labor. You should all have this, right? And I only want low-level monsters, which will not affect the staffing of your self-defense forces."

"OK."

Shuixu and I bargained over the details and settled the matter. The demon and our guild formally signed a labor export contract. The demon clan wants to provide our guild with two million strong laborers. Their job is to lay a railway throughout China. Since I was inspired last time in South America, I decided to build a train. Results soon followed in the guild. The magic locomotive has been completed a long time ago, and the design of the track has also been completed. The only problem is that there has been no one to pave the road. Now that there is so much labor, building roads will not be a problem. The most important point is that the railway has to pass through some dangerous areas. The demons not only serve as laborers, but also have fighting power. Although the individual strength is not very strong, with so many demons acting together, no one dares to touch them.

The front of the magic locomotive is similar to the real locomotive. But there are no wheels. Strictly speaking, this is a hover car. It's just that it's not magnetic levitation, but magic levitation. It is not the railroad track that is the track. Rather, it is a pyramid-shaped device. Each of these devices is about the size of an Eight Immortals table, with a tip height of about one meter. When installing, you can place one at a distance of ten meters. The magic hover car does not necessarily fly on it. In fact, as long as the distance is no more than twenty meters, the hover car can start normally, so we place them at intervals of ten meters. , so that even if there is an individual device failure, it will not affect the track capacity. Since the magic locomotive does not necessarily have to run directly above the track, laying such a track can actually be used as a two-way six-lane road. There is absolutely no problem in passing six cars at one point at the same time.

This kind of locomotive consumes a lot of magic power, but its traction is amazing. The transportation cost per unit weight is less than one percent of the magic teleportation array, and the speed is actually faster than the speed of an airplane in reality, as long as it is not particularly urgent. , there is absolutely no problem using it for transportation. Just like the shipyard in our guild. Steel City produces steel, but the shipyard is in Essinger. Whether the steel is transferred to Essinger Shipbuilding, or the ship is built directly in Steel City and then transferred as a whole, the cost is actually the same, and both are horribly expensive. The transmission fee for each ship can basically account for one-sixth of the total project cost, which can be said to be quite uneconomical. However, it is not a good idea to transport it by land or buy steel from other places. Land transportation is too slow. It takes almost a month to transport it from Steel City to Essinger. Buying steel from others has no guarantee of quality and is not much cheaper than transporting it ourselves. It makes no sense at all.

Once this magic track is completed, the direct train from Steel City to Essinger will only take six hours. During formal production, assembly line transportation will be formed, and the speed will be even faster, without affecting Essinger's production progress at all. Such a perfect way of transportation, if there was no one available, I wouldn't have put it away for so long! Moreover, this thing can actually be used to make money. The teleportation array is too expensive, and many players would rather take a carriage, but the speed of the carriage is notoriously slow. Once we have a faster transportation method, players will naturally choose to spend a small amount of money to take our magic train.

After the Shuixu problem was solved, he started asking me about the purpose of coming here. I said with some embarrassment: "How should I put it! Shuixu and you are all demons, so you must have harmed people before, right?"

Shuixu thought for a moment and then said: "There must be some. We, the demon family, are more troublesome to cultivate. It is faster to eat people directly. But we are not as bad as the heaven said, massacring villages and eating children. These things are all false news they spread in order to damage our image during the period of hostility with Heaven. In fact, we don’t eat children at all.”

Zizhuo suddenly said: "You are not lying, are you? I heard that monsters like to capture children to practice evil arts?"

Shui Xu said helplessly: "Did you see it? This is the prejudice caused by Heavenly Court's propaganda campaign! Human beings are known to be the fastest cultivating race, which shows that human beings can absorb spiritual energy relatively quickly. Children are so young, only a few years old , no matter how fast the absorption is, how much spiritual energy can be in the body? However, the spirit of the elderly is unstable and the spiritual energy is scattered, so we are too lazy to move. We usually look for men in their prime to attack. But the demon clan does have scum, who are they? They can all be eaten. Ordinary demons like me usually look for bad people like bandits to prey on. Besides, although eating people can replenish spiritual energy, it is not easy to absorb the replenished spiritual energy. Even if you want to eat, you can't eat them continuously. Eat, once every three to five years is considered frequent! It’s not as exaggerated as what Heaven said. Speaking of which, the old man of your family came up with this method to destroy our image!"

Zizhuo immediately said with bright eyes: "Finally, I found his fox tail! He usually pretends to be so sanctimonious, but it turns out that he also does such dirty things!"
