Chapter 31 Is that all?
Five contribution points per kilogram!
If you get 20 kilograms like yesterday, that's contribution points! more contribution points!
The huge sum of money that fell from the sky instantly diluted everyone's negative emotions. Without waiting for Pu Huai to urge them, they quickly climbed into the car.
They sped across the desolate Gobi Desert, their wheels rolling over the sand and soil, stirring up a thick cloud of dust at the rear of the car, and small gravel hitting the body of the car with a crackling sound.
On a distant mound, a gust of wind rolled up a yellow vortex, which swirled down the slope and finally dissipated in a pit.
Anjiu heard quiet murmurs of prayer coming from the crowd.
We arrived at the mining area after fifteen minutes and entered Mine No. 2 in three minutes.
When gloves were distributed, Anjiu took them as usual, but when mining, he changed into the fingerless gloves he had just bought yesterday.
It's really a lot faster this way, although the fingertips will suffer a bit, but it absorbs the primary crystals faster. Anjiu also tried touching the crystals in different positions with his fingers, and was surprised to find that this was feasible.
Another thing that puzzled and puzzled her was that the crystal felt very hard, not to mention the rock. She clearly absorbed the crystal sandwiched between the rock, but when she finished absorbing it, not only did the rock wall not have any holes, but it was filled with a translucent substance that was the same color and shape as the rock?!
The advantage was that she didn't have to worry about leaving an abrupt hole in the rock wall that would be discovered at a glance. The disadvantage was that she had to chisel a few more centimeters before she could see the next crystal.
In order to spend more time mining and earning contribution points, everyone voluntarily gave up their lunch break, and Jimo was responsible for collecting water cups, filling them with water and then distributing them.
"only these?"
Pu Huai looked at the weight displayed on the scale in confusion. This number... was the lowest among everyone.
An Jiu wiped the sweat off his forehead and made a depressed expression: "Maybe my luck is too bad. There are very few mines, and they are all rocks."
Pu Huai looked over her at the mine wall. It was chiseled very deeply, even deeper than the ones next to him. It was obvious that they were not lazy. Apart from the solid stones, there was really no crystal shape at all.
He picked up the tool and smashed it hard.
With a loud bang, gravel flew everywhere and a fist-sized pit appeared on it. The edge cracked into countless cracks, forming a milky white mesh pattern.
Shining a flashlight into the gap, the unique light of the crystal can be seen from a thickness of about eight centimeters.
Pu Huai looked at a few more places and fell silent.
He had brought people to Mine No. 2 so many times, but this was the first time he encountered such a situation...
"continue."
Pu Huai threw the tools back to her and turned around to inspect other people's crystals.
Ji Mo came to bring a cup of water, and the pity in his eyes could not be concealed.
An drank nearly half a bottle of wine in one breath, screwed the lid on and continued to work on the great task of mining.
Her arms and wrists seemed to have been tempered. After enduring the initial soreness and pain, now... the pain was doubly severe.
It turns out that after a certain point, the brain automatically blocks out pain from the body.
Anjiu's mind is now filled with thoughts like [house expansion +0.00001 square meters], [+0.00001 square meters], [+...].
During this period, Pu Huai passed by her place twice during his inspection. Each time, he could see that she was working wholeheartedly, but the amount of ore she mined was pitifully small.
Even the floating monitors don't like to fly towards her.
It has three tasks: 1. Record everyone's enthusiasm for work, in plain words, to see if anyone is lazy. 2. Monitor whether anyone will steal mineral resources. 3. Give the team leader a warning.
What leaders want to see is that workers have a positive attitude and create value, not that they work hard but gain nothing.
By the time he finished work, Anjiu had barely collected ten kilograms and received fifty contribution points.
On the way back, she was so exhausted that she put on her hat, buried her face in her arms, and fell asleep while swaying.
The platform area on the 48th floor was particularly lively. Almost everyone was out, each holding a bowl, queuing and walking forward very slowly.
When Anjiu passed by them, a skinny hand suddenly stretched out from the side and grabbed her arm accurately.
"Xiaojiu, you're back just in time!"
It’s Grandma An.
An Jiu took off his hat, squeezed through the team in front of him, and stood behind Grandma An under the sharp gazes of the people behind him.
“Just beginning?”
Anjiu, who had rested along the way, was in good spirits. She stood on tiptoe and tried to look far away, but she couldn't see the place where porridge was distributed behind the crowd of people.
"Yes, I thought it was at noon, but now is better!" Grandma An happily held the bowl to her chest, her eyes constantly checking on An Jiu, and asked considerately, "Is everything going well today?"
An Jiu leaned close to her ear and told her the good news: "I earned fifty!"
Grandma An's eyes lit up and she said two "good" words in a row. She excitedly raised her foot and put it down, rubbing the bottom of the bowl with her fingers.
Seeing her so happy, An Jiu couldn't help but smile. It was as if the tiredness from a hard day's work suddenly disappeared, and he felt very relaxed.
"Everyone line up in order, no noise or fighting! Anyone who ruins this event will have to find another place to stay!"
The administrator was holding a loud speaker in his hand. His tall stature allowed him to easily see everyone's expressions. He walked from one end of the platform to the other, wearing a clean azure suit with an administrator's nameplate on his chest.
Her hair was neatly combed back and shiny, looking very formal.
"Anyone who disobeys management must leave now!"
Everyone lowered their heads, not wanting to offend him at this time.
According to the rules of the beehive, living allowances must be distributed twice a week to show the management's concern for sixth-class citizens.
But it has been three weeks since the last porridge distribution.
When the stipulated date came but the supplies had not been delivered, people anxiously asked the administrators, but received vague answers. Who should they contact and where should they contact?
In addition, the sixth-class citizens are at the very end of the hive and have almost no say. Those who are capable will not allow themselves to fall to the sixth class, and those who are incompetent are afraid to do anything.
The matter of supplies had been muddled for nearly a month. Now that it was sent down again, what Anjiu heard the most was -
"I said it must be given. I guess the higher-ups are having some trouble and are just putting us aside for the time being."
"That makes sense. Aren't we giving out porridge again?"
"Just give it to me!"
Someone who had received some porridge walked past them holding the bowl, and the group of people leaned over and stood on tiptoe to look.
The milky white rice soup and the soft and glutinous rice grains made them unable to help but take a deep breath and utter a word.
"fragrant!"
The porridge distribution site was set up in the only office on the 48th floor. Through the window, one could see two large stainless steel barrels on the floor inside.
A man in a chef's hat was waving a spoon and serving porridge.
