Chapter 17 Repaying Kindness with Kindness

Lin En first glanced at the people waiting in line, then looked at the insect cakes in their hands, then turned and left.

I went to a display terminal next to me and took out the nameplate and scratched it.

His message immediately appeared on the monitor.

Dust people, number 8888

Bone age is 20 years old,

Contribution points: 30

Good guy! Rich man!

Lynn sighed,

No wonder the team leader said he worked too hard in the past.

It seems that this is the result of hard work!

It's enough for me to take a month's rest without doing anything.

Would you like to try some insect cake?

Lin En shook his head decisively. His space was rich in supplies and it was not his turn to eat insect cakes. He turned around and planned to leave.

"No. 88!"

Lin En turned around and saw a tall and slim figure standing in the crowd, jumping up and waving his hands and calling him,

In fact, she is already conspicuous enough without jumping up.

Because of the repetitive work day after day and the same insect cakes that have remained unchanged for decades, most ordinary people seem to be depressed.

But the girl who called Lin En was as delicate and eye-catching as the first flowers that bloomed in the morning, full of vitality, with a long braid that kept swinging back and forth as she beat.

"What a big braid! This thick hair is so enviable!"

While complaining in his heart, he walked over,

"Aren't you going to eat? Then how can you have the strength to work? Have you forgotten last week's 3348? You must not fall from the chain!"

"Are you running out of contribution points? I'll lend you mine first!"

Before anyone could say anything, this girl's words came at her like a barrage of words, but the concern in her tone was clearly discernible.

Lin En quickly shook his head and refused,

"I'm fine. I'm just not feeling well today. I plan to take a rest."

4277, about the same age as Lin En, grew up with him and several other close mortals.

But because he grew up early and has always been taller than him, he always takes care of Lin En intentionally or unintentionally.

As for the 3348 she was talking about, when she was returning to the pigeon cage after work last week, she slipped and fell.

The lighthouse is more than ten kilometers above the ground all year round. Let alone an ordinary citizen, even a high-ranking citizen would not waste resources to save it.

No one cares about the fall of 3348, and it can only become a limited topic of conversation among ordinary people.

Hearing Linn say he felt uncomfortable, 4277 asked worriedly:

"How do you feel? Do you want to go to the medical room? I told you not to be so desperate!"

Lin En smiled and said, "It's okay. I probably got wet when walking through the rain yesterday. Just take a rest. Don't worry."

The tall man next to 4277 sneered, "You are still so weak. If you continue like this, I'm afraid you won't live to become a superior!"

Becoming a Shangmin has always been No. 8888's wish, and he perseveres for this. Ordinary ordinary people work eight to ten hours a day, while Lin En works fourteen to five hours a day, and often breaks a worm cake in half.

In order to save more contribution points.

How could he be willing to hear others pour cold water on him? He would instinctively frown and scold him.

Another red-haired man quickly spoke to persuade: "4068, don't hit him honestly."

Then he turned to Lin En and said, "No. 88, don't be angry. 4068 is also worried about your health."

Lin En exhaled, turned around and left,

There is really no need for such a ignorant person to continue to waste his words. The best answer is to slap him in the face with the facts.

Can ordinary people become superior people?

No matter how stupid the ruler is, for the sake of social stability, he will not block the way out for the vast majority of people, but will still give them even illusory hope.

The same is true for lighthouses,

Although the genetic test results will not change, ordinary people still have the opportunity to become high people, as long as they make enough attacks on the lighthouse.

9000 contribution points!

It is also a beacon of false hope for all mortals.

Some people despair about this, and some people persevere, but when all ordinary people are divided, the purpose of the managers is achieved.

I saw Lin En "submit" and leave.

4068 curled his lips and said disdainfully: "With a body like his, he still wants to become a superior! It's just a dream!"

"The central intelligence is fair. The three laws have been promulgated for 20 years, and no mortal has ever been successfully promoted. Why is he 88? Is it because he is weak?"

"Shut up!"

The long-braided 4277 gave 4068 a fierce look, chased a few steps in Lin's direction, and forced a bug cake into his hand.

"Take it back to eat, and rest for two days. I'll see you after work!"

Before Linn could refuse, 4277 had already turned around and ran away.

He smiled helplessly, the insect cake in his hand disappeared with a slight bump, and he decided to prepare something delicious for this girl when she came over tonight.

Continue to wander around the lighthouse,

If a commoner wants to get contribution points, he can only go to work, and then the central intelligence brain will give contribution points based on the daily work content and performance.

There are two ways to find a job, one is to follow the team leader,

The second is to pick up the job yourself,

The central intelligence brain will list the tasks for the day. What tasks are needed, how many people are needed, and how many contribution points are needed, everything is clear.

Just hold the ID tag and you can view it at any terminal.

Most of these jobs are simple maintenance, transportation, cleaning and the like.

However, more professional work such as vehicle repair and equipment maintenance will also provide more contribution points.

Shangmin also needs to work, but they have received elite training since childhood, so the work they can do is naturally very professional and they have more contributions.

All in all, the lighthouse is fair!

The actual manager of the lighthouse, the central intelligence brain, is even more fair.

If you want to get more contribution points, you must make more contributions to the lighthouse.

But there is one exception,

Even if it is just a simple job, you can get extremely high contribution points.

That’s going out hunting!

The resources of the lighthouse are not unlimited.

A behemoth floating in the air, home to more than 20,000 people, requires a lot of resources.

From the nuclear fusion energy needed for the anti-gravity engine, to the fuel needed for the steering thruster, to the food, clothing, housing and transportation needed for daily life, most of them need to be obtained from the ground.

So every once in a while, a hunting team will go down to the ground to collect supplies.

The hunting team is responsible for fighting most of the time, so the work of collecting and transporting supplies can only be completed by dust folk.

This job is extremely easy when you don't encounter the pole-devouring beast. One visit can be worth working on the lighthouse for a month. If you collect more materials, you will contribute more points.

When collecting supplies, you can also pick up some unwanted items from the hunting team, whether they are antiques, toys, clothing, paper and pens.

Everything can be sold for a good price on the "little black market".

Even if you encounter a pole-devouring beast, just run away!

Fighting those monsters is the hunter's business,

The common people are not qualified to touch the weapons of the upper people at any time.

The Intellectual Brain will not ask defenseless mortals to defend themselves against the Devouring Beast.

Therefore, although there is a certain degree of danger, being able to follow the hunting team down to the ground is still a job that many ordinary people are eager to do.
