Boom!
Boom!
Brilliant salutes of various colors exploded in the square in front of Hope Village, reflecting a rainbow-like glow in the daytime.
The red light may sweep into the distance, making a sharp piercing sound.
Or it turns around and hovers in the sky, gradually disappearing into the clouds and mist.
The little players who are used to seeing large-scale fireworks on the earth are no strangers. They all clapped their hands and applauded, adding a bit more excitement to the upcoming celebration.
But those homeless people who were accustomed to living a precarious life in the city shrank their heads subconsciously, trembled all over, and quickly tried to find a bunker to hide themselves.
As the saying goes, when gods fight, mortals suffer.
In the past, when there were fights at various shelters in Qinggang City, the ones who sacrificed the most were often not their own family members, but the homeless people who had no stake at all.
What those shelters like to do most is to promise huge profits and drive the wanderers to take the lead.
After almost all of them had been sacrificed, the two sides pretended to fight for a while with the main force on top.
In the end, several corpses were left behind, and the homeless people who died together shouted, "The battle was fierce."
At this time, the shelter who was watching from the side stepped forward to mediate, and the two parties continued to negotiate with entangled interests.
As for the sacrificial wanderer?
If you die, you will die, and you can pay less to go out and reduce the losses in the battle.
However, as they turned around and looked to the side, they realized that they were still in Qinggang City, which was full of painful memories.
"This is Tianyuan, everyone raised their heads for me!"
The village head of Huanggu Village, Huangxiong, who was wearing a brand-new cotton-padded jacket and had a firework tied on his chest, roared.
After being trained by Qinggang Shelter with various shameless rules for a period of time, these newcomers who have gathered into the village now feel that they are good everywhere after experiencing the beauty of Tianyuan.
To work, everyone works extremely hard and wants to keep spinning.
To be obedient, in some things even better than a well-trained gopher army.
But one bad thing is that the wanderer gene deeply rooted in these people's bones is still serious.
Just like now, just a slightly louder noise can startle many people and reveal their true colors.
"Village chief, we know, but no one has seen this battle before!"
"What a big and neat village, ah no, it's a town!"
"Look over there, as long as you hold a resident ID card, you can enjoy a free celebration meal!"
"There's still half price. Everything you buy today is also half price."
"Hey, is this the essence of the town? I wonder when our Barren Bone Village will be as lively as it is now."
Some brave wanderers took over Huang Xiong's words and couldn't help but sigh.
It is indeed difficult to imagine some things before seeing them with your own eyes, and it is also difficult to know whether they are true or false.
Before entering Sunny Harbor Refuge.
For decades and hundreds of years, all wanderers thought that this was the paradise they were striving for.
There are endless supplies, a powerful army, and an extraordinary status in the city.
Being able to be reincarnated into Qinggang Sanctuary and become a part of it is a blessing that took several lifetimes to cultivate.
But where does it really go?
There are endless low-paying jobs, and they have to work more than ten hours in the harsh winter to get a tasteless and nutritious work meal.
There are almost no benefits for residents, or no benefits for residents who joined later.
Not to mention visiting underground shelters, they also have no right to enter many public buildings and facilities above ground.
Plus there's almost no room for growth.
Although they are nominally residents of Qinggang New City, in reality they are still like the mercenaries they used to be.
The only thing extra is probably a name that has no actual meaning.
And now?
If you complete your work ten hours a day with quality and quantity, you will get three working meals 100% of the time.
There was a wide variety of meals, including many foods they had never seen before, but the taste was surprisingly delicious.
It is no exaggeration to say that these days, too many people are crawling out of their warm beds and heading to work just for this bite of food. This was something that was simply unimaginable before.
In terms of supplies, it is also surprisingly abundant.
Although Desolate Bone Village did not distribute cold protection materials as soon as they arrived as promised, they needed to submit a step-by-step application, which took some time.
But this is not like Sunny Harbor Shelter, which is a blank promise and a false promise.
After all, someone's name is called out every day, and supplies are received in the center of the village opened in the Barren Bone Village under the envious eyes of those who come late.
This is something that is obvious to all and cannot be faked.
What's more, even if they were cheating, they had been in Qinggang Shelter for several months, and there was no even thought of cheating there.
As for the differences in more places, it’s better not to think about them in detail. Once you think about it, the difference between the two is not obvious.
Welfare benefits, employment levels, development prospects, and the dignity and recognition that seem to be the least important, but give every homeless person a sense of belonging.
"The gap is too big. Tianyuancai should be our strongest refuge in Qinggang City!"
Delang Lang also stood nearby and sighed, glancing in the direction of Tianyuan Dungeon from time to time.
Come to think of it, I haven't seen that manager for a long time.
Sometimes he would wake up suddenly while dreaming, remembering that he and his brother had once had an idea for Tian Yuan.
That's really brave!
You must know that in the eyes of most managers today, the current Tianyuan Territory is the new owner of Qinggang!
The grand celebration lasted from morning to afternoon.
The flowing banquets held in the square were changed one after another, and people watching the ceremony from several surrounding villages were gradually sent away.
There is no way, plus the wanderers from Desolate Bone Village, the current Tianyuan Territory has more than 100,000 people.
According to the current reception capacity of Hope Village, it is still insufficient.
As the lord and mascot, Soma was exhausted after seeing off tens of thousands of people.
After all, the main purpose of every wanderer coming here is to meet his legendary manager.
If you act too aloof or don't show up at all, many people will inevitably have other ideas.
After choosing to meet tens of thousands of people, Sumo nodded almost never stopped.
When you meet some familiar people, you have to say a few words of greeting.
"It's finally over. If there are more people here, my neck may be crippled."
Rubbing his stiff trapezius muscles, Sumo returned to the first floor of the dungeon and took a sip of warm water handed over by the guard.
On the other side, Mr. Qiao, who had just "went to the grassroots level", also happened to rush over.
The two looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.
Although this kind of work is really boring and a waste of time, the results are excellent!
Almost every wanderer who was greeted and nodded by Somo danced excitedly when leaving.
In the past, they had met many shelter managers while hanging out in Qinggang City.
But even the one with the best attitude just lowered his head slightly when he saw them.
But now, the new owner of Qinggang, Manager Tianyuan, is smiling at me!
A feeling of recognition arises spontaneously, and a feeling of respect breaks through.
Not to mention wanderers, even some players on Earth have secretly decided to serve the territory.
It is enough to show the huge effectiveness that this simplest method can exert.
"These are just the first steps. This guy Huang Xiong really has been hiding him for such a long time."
Qiao Yuansheng cursed secretly, but in his heart he was so beautiful.
Just now, he had reached an agreement with Huang Xiong, and then there would be a lot of cooperation between villages and towns.
The most important one is that Hope Town will provide technical personnel and drawings to help Huanggu Village begin to transform to a town-level scale.
At that time, as long as the Barren Bone Village is successfully promoted, the scale will be enlarged again.
Together with Yuren Village and Longteng Village, we hope that the town can develop to a county-level scale to accommodate more people and buildings.
"We still have to check afterwards and find out how they brought the people in."
"I know this. We have been busy and forgotten recently and did not pay attention to this."
Dean Qiao nodded and accepted the matter.
Tens of thousands of people quietly entered the territory and took root. If they were enemies, I can't imagine what the consequences would be.
"There should not be many people around in the afternoon, the celebration is over."
Somo put down his water glass and was about to get up to get something to eat when he raised his head and said, "Hey, Minister Sid, why did you come here alone?"
As one of the few communication bridges between Qinggang Shelter and Tianyuan Territory.
Sid, who is now the investment promotion minister of Qinggang Outer City, can be regarded as an old friend.
On weekdays, when nothing happens, Minister Side almost always stays here in Hope Village.
According to him, he would have nothing to do if he went back anyway, so it would be better to stay here and enjoy the delicious food.
"Leader Susu, today is the celebration of the expansion of the village. I have to come to congratulate you for both reasons and reasons."
Sid's smile was a bit unnatural, and he stuttered a bit when he spoke. He didn't dare to make it clear that his identity here today did not represent Qinggang.
In fact, there are now two factions within Qinggang Shelter.
One group believes that Qinggang should continue to remain aloof and wait for Tianyuan to take the initiative to contact him.
The other group believes that there should be a little hammering and reminder, so as to gain an advantage in subsequent negotiations.
As for those who think that he should take the initiative to contact Tianyuan, they are definitely foreigners!
"You are here as a guest. You can eat whatever you want at the flowing table later. The town will pay for it today!"
Qiao Yuansheng stood up calmly and took the gift from Sid's hand without mentioning his identity.
However, before Sid could say anything else, he heard another noise coming from outside the door:
"Brother Sumo, you slept a little late last night. Isn't it too late to come here?" A familiar and loud voice sounded at the door of the underground city.
How dare you call the leader of Tianyuan Alliance your brother?
Sid was shocked when he heard the news and saw the crowd parting and a figure walking slowly.
The midday sun slanted down on the man, reflecting his gorgeous new clothes.
Sid knew that the material used in this clothing was called "Miyun Silk" and it had the magical function of automatically adjusting the temperature.
A few years ago, when the Foundation's merchant ship arrived, it brought some for sale, and they were all snapped up by managers of major shelters in the city.
Now I can see with my own eyes that the clothes made of this special material are really beautiful and elegant. Not only do they have the right color combination, they also look noble and elegant.
The golden silk threads embroider exquisite patterns on the clothes. As the lines move, they sparkle in the sun, like a flowing river of light.
But the most eye-catching thing is the shiny bald head, which is in sharp contrast with this gorgeous new clothes, but is surprisingly harmonious.
"Brother Yehu, you look good today. This new outfit really complements you!"
Sumo stood up, also a little surprised.
In the past, Xie Hu always dressed casually, even a little slovenly.
But today, he seemed to be a different person, exuding a unique brilliance from head to toe.
Is this tiger hunting?
Sid's eyes were in a trance for a while, and it took him a while to make up the difference between the person in front of him and the figure in his memory.
It is indeed hard to imagine that the unruly hunting tiger in the past could behave so kindly now.
Even though he had long heard that Hunter Tiger in the Tianyuan Alliance was very impressed by the leader of the Somo Alliance.
But seeing this scene with my own eyes, it was inevitable that my heart would be filled with emotions.
This is something even Hades has been unable to do!
On the other side, Yehu actually had a proud smile on his face when he heard the compliment.
He shook his sleeves and straightened his back deliberately, looking more energetic. "Haha, brother Sumo, I like what you say. I dressed up specially today just to give our Tianyuan Alliance some points.
Awesome, who is this?"
"I met the manager of Pingtan."
Sid quickly stepped forward, lowered his head secretly and introduced his identity.
If he came here today to represent Sunny Harbor Sanctuary, then the two sides can indeed talk to each other on an equal footing.
But just speaking personally, Sid knew the character of this hunting tiger.
If you don't lower your head fast enough, you will definitely be severely punished.
Sure enough, after being lifted up by him so quietly, Yehu's attitude softened a lot:
"Oh, these are all guests. You can go away. I want to talk to my brother."
"well"
Seeing this, Sid nodded quickly and walked out accompanied by Yuan Sheng Qiao.
But after taking a few steps, he heard another burst of laughter from behind.
Turning around, he saw that it was Liehu who was smiling like a rotten chrysanthemum, chatting with the Somo manager.
Is this tiger hunting?
The same question appeared in my heart again.
But this time, Sid no longer had a definite answer in his mind.
No matter what, he could no longer compare the tyrannical hunting tiger in the city with the kind bald man in front of him.
"Minister Sid, I won't give it to you at the front. There is a running water mat over there. Just open it and eat."
"It's easy to talk about. Mayor Qiao of Qiaocun just goes to work."
Mr. Qiao led Sid to a seat in front of the square, explained a few words, and left in a hurry.
Following the direction he left, Sid looked around.
But I only saw a group of people cheering in the distance, carrying gifts in large and small bags. There were at least 40 or 50 people.
And the faces of these people were familiar to Sid. They were the managers from the southern suburbs!
"this"
When I think about the quarrels and discussions in my own shelter, I look forward to Tianyuan coming to the door and bowing my head to cooperate.
But this group of stupid-looking managers in the southern suburbs have taken the initiative to put down their dignity and come to ask for cooperation.
Sid felt a tightness in his chest, as if something was blocked.
There was a time when Sunny Harbor Shelter was so glorious.
However, now, this glory has secretly changed hands and become a new king.
Tianyuan Alliance!
