Chapter 2000: They Are All Acquaintances (Please Give Me a Monthly Ticket!!! Please Subscribe!!! Please Recommend!!!)

Eros didn't lie, he really didn't know.

There's no way, the Pantheon's work efficiency is even more exaggerated than that of France.

Just like British cuisine has been labeled, the "stereotype" of the French people around the world is that they are lazy and like to slack off. A French worker's day, at most, does not exceed 4 hours of serious work. The current working system in France is a 35-hour work system. Work five days a week, seven hours a day. Go to work at 9 o'clock, get off work at 6 o'clock, and have a two-hour lunch break at noon. Leave on time after get off work. Overtime? It doesn't exist! Some people even joked that the French come to work just to drink coffee, chat with colleagues, and enjoy afternoon tea, and the day is so easy.

It feels that the French go to the company not to work, but a kind of "adult custody". Bored at home, go to the company to drink coffee and tea, and then chat with colleagues, and the day is over. The maximum working hours per week in France is 35 hours, and employees have to leave when the time comes. Many Chinese people are not used to it when they go to France, and they have to work overtime. Not only their colleagues can't stand it, but their bosses are also afraid.

Once employees work overtime, the company must pay high overtime pay. It's okay if the work is not completed, but don't let the French roll with you. Because you can't carry them at all! French trade unions directly signed an agreement with the enterprise association, stipulating that from 6 pm to 9 am, it is abnormal working hours, and the company is not allowed to send emails or call employees. In the service industry where customers are the top priority, don't think about making more money by working overtime. In 2018, a French baker was fined 3,000 euros (about 23,000 yuan) for opening the door 7 days a week. In 1999, French legislation stipulated that bakers in bakeries must close their doors for at least one day a week. Here, working hard is illegal. The French Labor Law stipulates that it is illegal to work overtime from 9 pm to 6 am the next day without necessary reasons.

Slacking off at work and taking a day off every day after work. The basic configuration of French holidays is 25 days of paid annual leave + 11 statutory holidays + 52 weekends. If the working hours exceed 35 hours a week, the boss will not only pay more wages, but also give employees a holiday.

French people do not work long hours and have many holidays, which is fine.

The problem is, some of these people can't even do this!

There is a popular summary of the French seasons on the Internet: French people work in spring, vacation in summer, strike in autumn, and spend Christmas in winter.

Although there is an exaggeration in it, it does show the lazy and unworkable characteristics of the French. First of all, the length of paid vacation in France is one of the best in the world.

So how many days of annual vacation are there in France? France stipulates that you can get 30 working days of paid vacation after working for a full year (if you choose to take consecutive vacations, the weekends will be counted as a total of 5 weeks). If you resign before the vacation, the boss must convert the annual vacation into money and give it to the employee. However, such a long paid vacation is a little inconvenient, that is, most employees do not have the right to decide when to take their vacation, and they have to follow the boss's arrangement. In the summer, the children are on summer vacation, which is the best time for the family to travel, so most bosses set the annual leave during the summer vacation, and summer vacation has gradually become a tradition in France. So, in July and August, some French cities will still be "empty cities", and they are not there when you want to find a French person to talk about work. This is a common scene even during the epidemic.

However, including the annual leave, France still has 11 statutory holidays, fixed weekends, and the number of days before and after to make up for the long vacation. Added up, the French don't have to work for about 150 days out of 365 days a year! ? This can also explain from another perspective why the French love to strike in autumn. The vacation is over, the annual leave is over, and the heart has not flown back yet, so you have to face the work accumulated for a month. If you are in a bad mood, you will naturally want to strike, which can be justified. You can rest and go to the streets to make a scene to vent your emotions.

Secondly, the French actually have a strike season!

As for the reasons for the strike, they are generally very simple: firmly resist all reforms that want to make the French more diligent! Delay the retirement age? Strike in protest! Too much work pressure? Strike! Want to cut public spending? Still strike!

According to statistics, in 2016, there were 801 strikes, an average of more than two a day. Among them, there were 110 national strikes, an average of one every three days. In addition, research institutions have calculated that in France from 2009 to 2017, the average number of strike days per 1,000 employees per year was 114 days!

If only company employees are considered, the French people's holidays (if weekends are counted as holidays) are mainly divided into three parts: weekends, statutory holidays, and company paid holidays + RTT. The sum of the three items should be the average number of days that the French do not have to work in a year, (weekends) 104 days + (statutory holidays) 11 days + (paid leave plus RTT) 33 days = 148 days.

The exaggerated ones can even reach 160 days a year!

For example, some state-owned companies such as SNCF (French National Railway Company) and Engie (French state-owned energy company) can indeed reach this level.

Adding strikes, it is possible that the number of working days in a year is really less than 100.

This is already very outrageous, right?

The City of the Almighty is even more outrageous!

It’s not that people in the City of the Almighty can also go on strike... It’s just that the City of the Almighty was defined as a paradise in paradise from the beginning, and many people come here just to enjoy themselves! Yes, it is for enjoyment, this is what the gods promised.

When they were on earth, they made countless contributions. Many people have been fighting all their lives. Can't they enjoy themselves?

Although the gods are very inhuman in some aspects, they still have to abide by their promises.

Otherwise, when the believers are alive, they work hard for the gods, and when they die, they have to work hard for you?

It's too cruel!

Besides, when the gods choose believers to enter the Almighty City, they will definitely give priority to those who can fight and are smart. Most gods will never let craftsmen enter the Almighty City. Only a few believers of gods with the craftsman priesthood are craftsmen themselves...

So there are very few craftsmen in the Almighty City.

Another thing is that the concept of time between gods and mortals is very different. One day in heaven is one year on earth. This is often the case.

The gods have a long lifespan, and even they themselves can't see where the end of their lives is. They have a lot of time to squander and don't care about wasting time at all. This makes the Almighty City have no concept of time from top to bottom.

The Temple of Omniscience is broken?

Then fix it.

When will it be repaired?

Just wait, there's no rush anyway.

You know, it took the French five years to build Notre Dame, which is considered fast. When Notre Dame was built, it took 50 years just to prepare the wood. Notre Dame was built in 1163, and workers began cutting down trees around 1200, cutting down about 1,500 trees in total. After the trees were cut down, they were placed for a year with the top facing north to align with the energy of the earth; then the trees were stripped of bark and soaked in the swamp for 25 years to protect the wood from fungi and insects; around 1225, the wood was fished out of the water, the trunks were sawn into beams, and then air-dried for another 25 years, which means that most of the people who cut down the trees had never seen the roof structure. Therefore, even if there were a thousand century-old oak trees now, it would be impossible to complete the reconstruction within five years. Five years is not enough time for the trees to soak and dry. It took more than 100 years to build Notre Dame, and now it takes almost as long to rebuild as it did when it was first built.

It looks cumbersome, right?

Let me tell you, the construction of the City of Almighty is much more complicated than this!

Many building materials cannot be formed by humans at all, and they need the power of gods to complete.

But most gods are very busy, at least they don’t have time to work as construction workers.

So who knows how long it will take to repair the Temple of Omniscience, maybe it won’t be completed in a hundred years.

Anyway, for gods, there is no difference between a hundred years and a year.

Kai’s face is very ugly. Although the French are enviable, if their efficiency is placed on you, you will find it very annoying. Especially these bastards in the City of Almighty are more French than the French.

If I really have to wait here... who knows when I can go home.

So Kai can only think of a way.

After all, among the gods on Earth, he doesn’t only know the people in Olympus.

“By the way, are the Egyptian gods in the Pantheon?”

Kai is very familiar with the Egyptian gods.

This matter has to start from when Kai left ancient Greece and came to Egypt.

At that time, he was chased by Zeus and Ares and had to run away. Poseidon, the god of the sea, helped him during this period. He sent Kai across the Mediterranean Sea and to Egypt!

In fact, the exchanges between ancient Greece and Egypt were quite frequent, and so were the gods.

The Olympians and the ancient Egyptian gods had close relations.

Until the great rebellion.

Set, the god of desert and war in ancient Egypt, rebelled against his father and brother. Set was the god of power, war, desert, storm and foreign countries in ancient Egyptian mythology, and one of the nine pillars of Heliopolis. Set was the most warlike god among the ancient Egyptian gods.

According to legend, whenever the sun god Ra brought the sun from the human world to the underworld (the ancient Egyptians believed that the sun went down when the sun god pulled the sun to the underworld with a chariot, so there was night on the human world, and when it was daytime, the sun god Ra would pull the sun out of the underworld from the other side), Set was by his side to guard him. Most notably, he fought and killed the evil serpent of darkness, Apophis, who attacked Ra every night. (Apophis was immortal and reappeared every night.)

[Apepp, also translated as Apophis, is a god in ancient Egyptian mythology. He is considered the embodiment of destruction, chaos, and darkness. He is also the twin brother and mortal enemy of the sun god Ra. He wants the world to be plunged into eternal darkness. Generally his image is that of a snake. Apophis is a very ancient demon of evil and destruction. Its birth even preceded the Egyptian Nine Pillars and was one of the earliest gods in Egyptian mythology. Legend has it that Apophis was born from a curse deep in the earth. In the deepest part of the Egyptian hell, those who had committed serious sins were imprisoned. The reason why they were imprisoned here was not only because of their sins during their lifetime, but more importantly. The only thing is that they had no intention of repenting and cursed the gods and fate all day long. Their tears of resentment seeped into the ground, thus giving birth to Apophis. Apophis, the god of darkness, is composed of water and earth elements. His image is an evil snake, and his body is made entirely of yellow and black. He is also known as the "terrifying one" or the "dangerous one". After being born, he began to try to lead sinners to escape from hell, but because those sinners had been locked underground for a long time, they were unable to fight against the sunlight. Later, Apophis left the underground alone and tried to plunge the entire world into permanent darkness, but this plan was terminated due to the birth of the sun god Ra. What Apophis presents is the purest evil. He likes to see people arguing and rebelling, and likes to encourage restless people to provoke wars. During the day, he usually spends his time hiding in a dark cave, and only comes to the human world or returns to hell at dusk. Although as the power of the Nine Pillar Gods grows larger and larger, Apophis rules the world in a clear order. Never gave up on his evil and stupid ideas]

Because of Seth's good fighting skills, the sun god Ra always took Seth with him to fight Apep together. So the world is ruled by Seth's brother Osiris, and Seth can only be in charge of the desolate desert, because there is nothing worth worrying about there, so that Seth can wholeheartedly fight Apep with Ra.

But Seth saw this as humiliation and partiality. Why can Osiris control the Holy Land, while he can only stay in the desolate desert or the peaceful underworld?

So Seth launched a rebellion, killed his brother, defeated his nephew Horus, the god of the sky, and seized the throne. Since then, Seth has been ambitious to rule the world.

As a result, the relationship with Olympus deteriorated.

So Kai was safe in the past.

As a result, Kai and Horus teamed up to kill Set.

Thus ended this terrible rebellion, the slain sun god Ra was resurrected, and the killed Osiris also returned from the underworld.

This gave Kai a high reputation among the Egyptian gods!

Anyway, I can't hang myself from a tree... Speaking of which, the Egyptian goddess of beauty is very in line with Kai's aesthetics, but unlike Aphrodite, she is not a showy woman. On the contrary, this beauty goddess has three views. correct.

Hathor, the goddess of love and beauty, the god of wealth, the god of dance, and the god of music. She cares about the common people, sympathizes with the dead, is also the protector of mothers and children, and is also the wife of Horus. Dedicated to Horus.

After Horus was defeated by Set and his eyes were gouged out. This beautiful god still never abandons Horus.

You know, Horus was able to survive in the first place because of Hathor, the goddess of beauty. Seth coveted Hathor's beauty and wanted her to be his queen. (Set has his own wife, but his wife prefers Osiris and doesn’t like Seth that much)

Hathor told Set that he could not kill Horus if he wanted to marry her. Seth agreed.

This gave Horus a chance to make a comeback.

Naturally, such a person cannot flirt around like Aphrodite.

“Who among the Egyptian gods is in the Almighty City?”

"I know this, Thoth, the God of Wisdom!"

Thoth, also translated as Thoth or Tut, is the god of wisdom and the inventor of the moon god's writing. He is the document of the gods and is depicted as a standing judge in the "Book of the Dead".

This person was also an acquaintance, Kai had met him before. This guy is good at everything, his only shortcoming is that he is too timid and too talkative. He was not convinced by Seth, but he didn't have the guts to resist.
