The talk was so exciting that the three of them didn't know what to choose, so they discussed it and went to a place one by one. Anyway, it was a 'trial' and they wanted to find out the situation first.
A workshop opened by a professional life player.
As soon as Zhu Yuting walked into the narrow, low, damp, and dark factory shed, she was overcome by the pungent smell inside. The 'agent' who brought her here was afraid that she would be discouraged, so he quickly said that there are aboriginal NPCs outside.
You are doing the work inside, and the environment inside is good.
A dozen tourists who came to 'try it out' walked into the factory shed curiously and carefully, and saw ragged aboriginal NPCs sitting on the piles of ore, using small hammers to pound those large, hard stones.
of ore, crushing larger ores into pieces and then transporting them to a human-driven conveyor belt.
The ore that has been initially processed and sorted on the conveyor belt will enter a large cleaning pool in the middle to wash away the dirt and other debris on the ore. Four or five indigenous NPCs stand in the misunderstanding and pungent cleaning pool, washing the heavy
The ore was scooped up and neatly arranged in baskets.
"Don't worry, I won't let you do such unskilled menial work... This way, this way."
There is literally no place to set foot inside. There are black ore from Wuqiba everywhere, and the ground is soaked with damp water vapor. Every time you step on it, your feet will be covered in mud.
A dozen frowning tourists covered their mouths and noses, passing through the cleaned ore baskets and entering the next 'workshop'.
The inside is much smaller than the outside, and there are not as many people as there are outside.
There are large workbenches similar to those in a garment factory. In front of each workbench stands a lazy, yawning, grinding player. Ore is piled under the workbench, and the players randomly pick one up, and then go to it.
What kind of liquid should I put on it?
A small brush and a stand are all you need to brush the preliminarily processed and cleaned ore. It's a very simple job.
When the players saw a group of tourists coming in, one person cursed: "Damn, I guessed that Xie Laokou would move very fast, but I didn't expect this bastard to move so fast."
As soon as he finished speaking, a chubby fat man walked out of the innermost workshop, "You are no longer needed here, get out of here!"
"I don't want to do it anymore!" a player threw the small brush in his hand and shouted without caring about the solution bottle.
"What do you mean by working hours? Is the task completed?" another player shouted.
The fat player took a deep breath, with a look of pain on his face, "It's done, it's done, get out of here, inviting you here is like inviting a bunch of big men."
"cut!"
The players dismissed it and happily settled the tasks in advance. They left their workstations with smiles and went to look for NPCs to settle rewards and rewards.
When one of the players passed by Zhu Yuting, he whistled mischievously and reached out to touch her face.
Zhu Yuting was startled and backed away.
"Old girl, do you want to be a life secretary for 10 silver a month?"
Zhu Yuting: "You..."
"Ah, this guy is sexually harassing tourists, have you all seen it? Have you all seen it?" Fatty Xie Laokou shouted from behind.
The players who hadn't left yet looked at each other, laughed in unison and yelled, "Who is it? Where is it? Why didn't I see it?"
Zhu Yuting was angry: "You... why are you like this?"
"Ignore these scum!" The agent stood in front of Zhu Yuting and warned: "I'm recording!"
"It's boring!" This person looked at Zhu Yuting a few more times, "The real-person scan is still pleasing to the eye. Don't worry about the reality being a dinosaur... Old girl, please think about me, my ID is Jade Faced Little Flying Dragon Thirteen, here you go.
, there is also thirteen at the end, don’t forget it.”
Agent: "Get out of here!"
"I said, buddy, why are you working so hard?"
"94"
"This is a sweatshop. You are pushing people into a pit of fire!"
"Only tourists are willing to do this damn place."
"Aren't tourists human beings? They are all Chinese. It's embarrassing to deceive others like this."
"Xie Laokou, is the name Xie Laokou called for nothing?"
…
The players were all talking, and the workshop owner, the level 13 professional life player ‘Wanwan Xiaoxie’, whose face turned black with anger, could not shut them up.
After all these players left, the agent said to the tourists he brought, "These people are all bastards. They have graduated with bronze medals. They are all guys with high ambitions and low abilities. You must not listen to their nonsense. Boss Xie is a nice person."
"Yes, yes, yes", the crooked little Xie hurriedly came up to reassure people, "Working here is very easy. The wages are hourly and piece-rate, a lunch is included, and wages are paid daily, and there will never be any arrears."
The tourists looked at each other, and I looked at you, and then looked at this simple, primitive working environment, silent.
"Let's try it first, let's try it first, thank you boss for teaching them how to do it."
"Okay, everyone, stand closer and I'll demonstrate. It's very simple."
Zhu Yuting and the others hesitantly followed the crooked Xiao Xie to a workbench.
The crooked little Xie picked up a fist-sized jet black ore, raised it and shook it, "...choose such a big ore, and do this again." Then he picked up a small brush and put it next to it, filled with a green solution.
I dipped it in the bottle, and finally brushed it carefully on the ore, "...it needs to be brushed evenly, and every place must be brushed..."
After the ore was brushed, the surface was already stained with a faint green fluorescence. The crooked little Xie placed the brushed ore on the pile of ore contained in a wooden box, "OK, you're done."
The intermediary added earnestly: "How about it? It's simple. You don't need to worry about the rest. It's just a process... 2 coppers an hour, requiring 30 qualified workpieces... 10-hour shift, more than 300 pieces per shift.
In terms of piece counting, starting from 301 pieces, 5 pieces are equivalent to one copper...isn’t that right, Boss Xie?”
"Yes, yes, yes"
"What do you guys say? Don't rush to sign the agreement, how about giving it a try first?"
Zhu Yuting saw that everyone else nodded, so she followed hesitantly.
"Okay, then I don't have anything to do. I wish you all good luck in your work. Thank you, boss. I'll leave it to you."
"Thank you"
"It's easy to talk, easy to talk... If you have something to do, let's go first."
"Walk slowly, walk slowly!"
In this way, Zhu Yuting started her first online working career.
This job is indeed simple, but it is not without requirements. She does not know what this solution is. Xie Laoqiao is very precious, and she has repeatedly asked not to waste it. At the beginning, she was worried and watched the whole process. Later, she saw them start to use it.
Then with satisfaction, I returned to the innermost workshop with my hands behind my back.
I don’t know what the workshop inside is for. It’s very smoky, but the fireworks can’t reach the outside. They’re blocked by the wall of air at the entrance that looks like water.
Zhu Yuting got used to it after swiping a few items. It took an average of two minutes to finish each one, mainly because it took time to pick the right ore.
The ores delivered were large, small, and not clean enough. These could not be processed and were put aside to be sent back for reprocessing.
In the first hour, only 24 qualified workpieces were completed. After getting proficient, 28, 29, 30...the most was only 32, and it couldn't go any faster.
It seems that Xie Laokou has already studied it thoroughly, and it is not that easy to get extra piece-rate rewards.
One hour is 2 coppers, and 10 hours is 20 coppers. 10 hours in the game is only equivalent to 5 hours in reality. According to the current exchange rate, a salary of 4 coppers per hour is more than a thousand soft girl coins.
It's not that I don't know, it's that I'm shocked.
Is your daily income over 10,000?
But when I think about it, my first online meal cost 10 coppers. Is it on credit? How much would it cost in RMB?
Do you dare to work and only have enough to eat two meals a day?
As a result, the salary is so pitiful that it is almost like being sent to beg for food.
People often say on the Internet that you can’t think about offline when you are online. What they are talking about is the exchange rate. If you always convert over and over again like this, your mentality will be unbalanced. You should only think about it when you consider exchanging money offline or exchanging money online.
is the best.
The 10-hour shift only lasted two or three hours, but Zhu Yuting found it too boring. If she only does this online in the future, what's the difference between it and offline?
This is true for her, let alone others.
Visitors begin to lose focus, wander off, and talk in low voices. The result is reduced efficiency, lower yields, wasted materials, etc.
The boss came out and spoke once, loudly encouraging them and praising Zhu Yuting who performed relatively well. The effect was there, but it didn't last long and everyone fell back into their old ways.
Affected by these poor students, Zhu Yuting's work slowed down. After a tourist girl took the initiative to strike up a conversation, she started chatting with her.
"...It seems that our accommodation is also charged, but it is just for accounting!"
Zhu Yuting: "Ah?"
"Each person per day and each bed is worth 25 coppers, and it will be settled at the end of the month, based on the time in the game."
"Why is this? I thought it was free."
"How is it possible? There is no charge for air in the game. Everything has a price and costs money."
"Then let's..."
"So I can't do this job. I regretted it as soon as he mentioned the hourly wage... Forget it, I haven't signed a contract anyway, so I just want to experience life."
The girl is young, so it is rare for her to be so Buddhist.
Zhu Yuting didn't know the situation of Hu Yang and Fang Qinghong. She recalled her ambition to start a business a few hours ago, and then she realized that something was wrong.
"Tourists are so screwed. They have nothing. Even if there is no task system, even instant messaging and the Friends World channel cannot be used. You can't add friends and you don't have a mobile phone. It feels like you have stepped back to the ancient times. In the future, communication is really the only way.
Damn it, you can only rely on walking for transportation, and you can only use shivering for warmth, haha..." the girl said, making herself laugh, "But it's quite interesting, these are just extra, and Second Life doesn't mean anything.
It’s too much, and... everyone’s time and lifespan have been extended, right?”
"Yeah", Zhu Yuting also laughed.
"I think this is the biggest charm online. Even if we don't have enough to eat and are hungry and cold, we should cherish it, because it is a gift from God."
Zhu Yuting's affection for the girl greatly increased, "My name is Zhu Yuting, from Linfen."
"Jiang He, like you, from your district?"
“Huali Street, Pingan District”
"Me too, what a coincidence"
"I'm from the North Campus of the CDC dormitory, and you are"
"I am a neighbor from Jinjing Garden in District 2 of Longtan Village. I can see your building No. 10 from my house."
"I live in Building 10"
"Then I see you every day, maybe I've already met you."
“What a coincidence”
"Uh-huh."
The two met each other late, and the more they chatted, the more they became interested, and the work at hand naturally slowed down.
By the time the boss came out, there was no one to praise him, no one was "up to standard", and there was a serious waste of materials.
"You guys, you have disappointed me so much. You don't cherish such a good job. Go out and ask around. Where can I find a job that pays more than 1,000 RMB per hour..."
Zhu Yuting stuck out the tip of her tongue, and Jiang He whispered, "Don't listen to his deception, we are just cheap labor, and even dogs with such wages will not do it."
"Well, this guy is a black-hearted capitalist offline." Zhu Yuting nodded her head.
"I can't say for sure, life and leisure players...capitalists are all big water pipes online, so they won't be like this."
"I think he's doing okay? Such a big workshop is considered a fixed asset. It should be rare in the game."
"It also depends on the situation..."
Not to mention that the environment changes people very quickly.
Looking at these tourists who don't take the boss seriously, don't they look a bit like the players who were driven away before?
The crooked little Xie's face turned darker as he talked, and finally he could only yell that he couldn't meet the piece rate standards, and he wouldn't be paid when the hours were up... before he calmed down the situation.
Jiang He: "Let's work and let this black-hearted capitalist exploit us for a while, hehe."
Zhu Yuting suppressed a smile and nodded.
After 10 hours of cooking, it was almost dark after I finished cooking. I ate lunch from the 'Black-Hearted Capitalist', which was just a black bread-like thing. It was so unpalatable that many people almost vomited after eating it for the first time.
.
"...Class A simple set meal? What is that? National service cafeteria? This is what you eat outside... I think you haven't adjusted yet. Do you think this is offline? Do you want me to prepare a full banquet for you? Even the players
It’s all edible, why can’t you eat it? If it tastes bad, go buy it yourself. There are all kinds of pubs, restaurants, green stir-fried dishes, and blue delicacies. Can you afford it?”
Perhaps because he saw that no one would stay after the 10-hour trial, ‘Xie Laokou’ from Baodao took off his mask of hypocrisy and sneered at the tourists, completely losing his previous kindness and talkativeness.
"Eat it, don't chew it. You'll die if you're hungry." Jiang He didn't argue with the evil factory owner. He closed his eyes and swallowed a mouthful of 'brown bread', which kept giving him relief. It was so hard.
"Um!"
Zhu Yuting stuffed it into her mouth with heroic determination, not daring to let her tongue touch it. She swallowed it hard and rolled her eyes.
Only then did I realize how luxurious (relatively speaking) the Class A simple set meal for 10 coppers was. The Chinese server was very sincere, but it was a pity that all the charming things were done to the blind.
When the 10 hours are up, no one has completed the piecework standard, so they have to work overtime.
Xie Laokou stood there with a sneer, not looking accommodating. Everyone had to finish all the work in order not to work in vain for 10 hours.
Finally, after receiving a salary of 20 coppers, I walked out of the workshop. It was completely dark, and Hongye Town was even more lively at night than during the day.
Players and tourists are bustling everywhere, busy and noisy everywhere.
"It's so lively and spectacular!" Jiang He said.
"Yeah, it's just like making a movie."
Jiang He couldn't help but laugh and said: "There's no such big scene in a movie... Let's go and check out your dormitory."
