[Due to work needs, Level 2 prospector Hopes Wilder has been assigned to participate in the joint prospecting project with the Gold Coin Federation. You are required to report to the Mining Hall of Huishi City before October 8th. One should go to the finance office of the city hall to collect the accommodation and travel expenses with this transfer order.
Today
Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Northwest Republic]
Hopps looked at the transfer order with some confusion, took off his gloves and scratched his head.
"What does this mean?" he asked.
The person responsible for delivering the order is a purebred rabbit man with bright red eyes and a humorous three-petal mouth. He had obviously encountered similar situations before, and said with a smile: "I don't know much about the specifics. It seems that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Gold Coin Federation have launched several cooperation projects, one of which is to help them explore mineral veins. There is not enough manpower there, so we will send a group of capable people here. Then the higher-ups will do the sum total, check the list, and take a look, alas! We have someone here who just graduated and became a second-level worker not long after graduation. Young people are worth cultivating...so, you know."
Hopes then understood and couldn't help but laugh.
The Northwest Republic divides workers into several levels according to their technical level from low to high. A worker who has mastered the basic technical essentials and can complete the work skillfully is a first-level worker. A worker who can not only complete the work skillfully but also strive for excellence is a second-level worker. Those in the team who are in charge of large-scale work are Level 3 workers, those who can train teachers are Level 4 workers, those who can lead innovation are Level 5 workers, and those who can compile teaching materials and dictionaries are Level 6 workers... At present, there are only these Level 6 workers, in theory. It is said that in the future there may be seven levels, eight levels, nine levels... and so on.
Half-orc Hopps Wilder studied prospecting and mineral processing at New Oriental Technical School. After graduation, he first went to the gold rush town and worked there for two years. Because of his outstanding performance, he was promoted to a second-level exploration worker. Then he returned to the smelting center near Void City and worked as a miner.
Hopps is young and studious, smart and keen, does a good job, and his income is not bad. Life has been getting better and better in the past few years. I just bought a house in Void City not long ago and am preparing to move out of the dormitory. After he moved into his new home, he originally planned to ask a few older friends who had always taken care of him as elders to help him find a suitable girl so that he could start a family and start a business, and then live a stable life like this, but unexpectedly... I received such a transfer order.
After laughing, he looked at the transfer order and fell into deep thought.
To be honest, he really didn't want to leave the Northwest Republic. He likes the environment and atmosphere here, which makes him feel very relaxed. When he thought of leaving the Northwest Republic temporarily, he couldn't help but think of what happened in his boyhood.
In fact, those things happened not long ago, only five or six years ago. But in his feeling, everything seemed to have happened a long time ago.
Those people and things that were once familiar, looking back now, feel a deep sense of alienation and out of place.
He knew that this was because he had become accustomed to the life here and could never go back to the old days.
He doesn't want to go back, not at all!
(Sigh... why did I think of those things again!)
He smiled to himself, shook his head, and pushed away his boring thoughts.
There is no such thing as "forced work" in the Northwest Republic. Although this transfer order was issued by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, if Hopps is unwilling to go out, he can still refuse the transfer, and no one will do anything to him because of this - this approach It’s not unusual. Many workers don’t like to run around, so it’s often difficult to find people to do business trips like this.
But for this reason, business trip subsidies are generally very high. The job this time will probably involve going to the Gold Coin Federation to help explore for mineral veins. The business trip will be far away and it will be field work, so the subsidy must be very high.
When thinking about subsidies, Hopps's attitude became less determined.
He wants to buy a house in Void City, start a family, and support his wife and children in the future. All of this requires money, and a lot of it.
With his income, he can generally afford this. But if you can have a lot more money, your life will be better.
So he felt that it would be a good idea to go on a business trip.
After much deliberation, he finally decided to go to the city hall to inquire about the details.
After completing the work at hand, Hopps took off his work clothes, took a shower, put on casual clothes, and came to the city hall with the transfer order.
He walked directly towards the Legal Department and soon found a fat man with a smile and scars on his face.
This man is not actually fat, he is just tall and has a round face. Judging from his temperament, people think he is fat.
"Brother Combrona, I received a transfer order. Do you know what's going on?" Hopps said hello and walked over.
Combrona and Hopps knew each other very early. They knew each other when Hopps first came to the Northwest Republic. Later they became friends and often ate and chatted together.
Cambroner is a generous and kind-hearted person with many friends. Because he works in the city hall and is well-informed, friends often come to him when they want to ask about something.
After reading Hopps' transfer order, Combrona asked Hopps to wait in the reception room, and then ran to find an acquaintance to inquire.
After a while, he ran back and told Hopps what he had asked about.
This business trip is generally to help the Gold Coin Federation explore several mineral veins. The specific location is uncertain, but it should be close to the Northwest Republic.
Because you are going abroad, the subsidy is very high, and it is estimated that you will get about three to five times the salary level - this is probably linked to the final results. If the results are good, you may get five times the salary, and if the results are poor, you will probably get only three times the salary.
In addition, this exploration team will be led by high-level experts, so safety should not be a problem.
After hearing this, Hopps nodded slightly and asked: "So... Brother Cambrona, do you think this matter... is reliable?"
"It's definitely reliable, but..." Cambrona suddenly paused, was silent for a while, looked around, and then lowered his voice, "The risk is a bit high!"
"Risk?!" Hopps also lowered his voice and asked worriedly, "What risk?"
"When I get off work, go to my house and I'll explain it to you in detail. It's inconvenient to say this here..."
So they came to Combrona's house after he got off work.
Over warm wine and home-cooked side dishes, the Cambronnas and Hopps talked about "risks".
"There may be a war over there in the Gold Coin Federation." Cambrona didn't give in and went straight to the point.
Hopps was startled and hurriedly asked what happened.
Combrona's wife, Jane, is a nurse who works at the health care center run by Ms. Steele Gelten. During this period, the medical center suddenly increased its training of field nurses significantly. Some people felt confused and asked Ms. Steele, and the reply was, "Don't worry, it's not that we are going to war, it's just that the Gold Coin Federation is probably going to have a civil war."
If it was just a civil war fought by the Gold Coin Federation, Combrona would never take it to heart - he was not a compassionate Virgin, so what business did it have to do with him fighting a war thousands of miles away
However, if Hopps is going on a business trip to the Gold Coin Federation, this matter is worth noting.
After all, swords have no eyes. Even if Hopps was not from the Gold Coin Federation, he might have been involved in the war and died inexplicably.
