At night, the government affairs center of Harmony Village.
This humble building has just been completed. It covers a full five floors, composed of more than twenty rooms and a spacious conference hall.
In order to simplify the difficulty of the project, the entire building is gradually decreasing in the shape of a pyramid, with only a bell tower at the highest point. But the 20-meter-high main body and the 10-meter-high flag make it a landmark in the Black Forest. A long distance away you can see the dazzling red on the top of the bell tower.
There was a grease torch in the hall, hundreds of people crowded inside. Zhou Qingfeng stood at the top of the head, with a smiling face facing the crowd underneath the number one hundred people. The people who came had no rules, noisy, noisy, bustling, greeted each other, or quarreled.
"Please be quiet, everyone." Administrative assistant Rubio shouted, but still could not overcome the noise of the crowd. Until the dignified and bright Princess Inesa came forward, the buns converged and the scene was under control.
Zhou Qingfeng was free to say a few words, "Everyone, I'm glad you can come. I'm more happy..."
"If you're happy, invite us to have a drink." There was a strange cry from the crowd, causing a burst of laughter. Most of the people at the gathering today are foreign adventurers, one more rough than the other, rude and self-cultivation.
Zhou Qingfeng just smiled at this, and after the voice subsided, he continued: "Since the establishment of Harmony Village, many people have worked hard for its prosperity. Today is a commendation meeting. Some people who work hard will receive honors and rewards. "
"Don't use those empty words to deceive people, I just want to know if honor can be exchanged for money?" The stranger said again, and as usual he laughed. They apparently used the government affairs center as a pub.
Facing these unruly guys, Zhou Qingfeng decided to run the process quickly. He looked at Rubio next to him, who quickly took out a form and called out his name, "Your Excellency Adrian, please get out."
Before the meeting, I said it was a commendation meeting, but no one knew what it meant? There are chairs in the conference hall, and no one sits honestly.
Now Rubio is calling. People looked left and right, restless for a long time. Everyone wondered what this guy named'Adrian' did, and was called out by the first one.
No one came out for a while, and Rubio had to raise his volume and shout a few more words. Only then came out of the crowd with a funny-looking guy. He is not tall, wears a ridiculous hat, and looks ugly, looks like a clown, and has a particularly contorted gait.
Zhou Qingfeng was also surprised, and asked: "Are you Adrian?"
"Yes," the clown replied coyly. He scratched his head, very uncomfortable with the feeling of being watched. And as soon as he opened his voice, everyone heard that it was him who had just made trouble.
Is it to call this person out to clean up
Zhou Qingfeng's face also sank, and he kept persuading himself,'I am a leader, a leader, and I want to lead the entire team. I must be tolerant and not angry. 'But he still glanced at Rubio and thought to himself: How do you choose this kind of person to commend
Rubio was also embarrassed and apprehensive, biting his head and reading the report, "Mr. Adrian, you arrived at Harmony Village two months ago and joined our patrol. In two months, you have never missed fifty consecutive duties. Gang. This work attitude is very commendable."
The praise made the clown uneasy, and he started scratching his butt again, "Uh..., in fact, I lacked money. The wages offered by the village are quite satisfying, but absenteeism costs a lot of deductions. I haven't The method is fraudulent, and every time someone comes to investigate."
The people in the conference hall laughed. Everyone came to Harmony Village to make money and had similar experiences. Zhou Qingfeng was a little surprised, but he didn't expect this funny guy to actually do something.
Rubio continued: "You are loyal to your duty, you have not raped or slipped, and you have issued accurate warnings six times during the patrol to avoid the team being attacked by monsters in the forest. You also saved a teammate and let him escape from the trap of the goblin.
You let our group reduce losses and maintain morale and interests, which is rare. We are very happy to have you in and are willing to commend your work. "
Commend for this
The clown's face was dazed. He shrugged and said nonchalantly: "I didn't realize it was anything special. I didn't think much about the things you said at the time. I didn't try so hard for any special reason."
"It's right without thinking about it." Zhou Qingfeng turned serious, and took out the small badge from a tray at hand, "Mr. Adrian, many people will treat you with contempt at first sight, even me.
But you are the model worker of this month, and that's enough. You will be promoted to the captain of the patrol team, and there will be a bonus of three gold coins. Can you allow me to wear this badge for you
With this badge, you can get a 20% discount on your personal consumption in the village, including drinking, before someone replaces you. "
The badge is very simple, just a small wooden block with lettering.
Adrian the clown stunned again, he took off his hat, and he was stunned for a long time not knowing what to do. Zhou Qingfeng stood on the stage and smiled at him. This recognition didn't seem to be a fake or tease.
Taking a deep breath, Adrian whispered: "Uh... I never thought about what I would get for these things. Really want to reward me? I don't understand what a'model worker' is. '."
Zhou Qingfeng still smiled, and said in a deep voice, "Please come forward, this is indeed a reward."
Wow..., there was an exclamation in the conference hall.
"God. I'm a little flustered, I don't know what to say?" The clown was nervous for a while, carefully stepped forward, and stood still for a long time in front of Zhou Qingfeng before putting his hat on his chest and bowing deeply in salute. The audience was silent for an instant, and the collective was stunned.
"Your Excellency Hugo, please forgive me for being rude. I feel so guilty now."
Adrian is a real clown, the kind of burlesque. He knows some tricks, is agile, and good at amusement. He usually follows a certain circus around towns and cities, or performs on the streets and pubs to earn a living.
The news of the elven relics came out of the Black Forest, and a large number of adventurers gathered, and the reputation of Harmony Village gradually spread. Adrian didn't even think about going on an expedition. He had no ambitions, but felt that a crowded place would make money, so he paid the fare and rushed to Harmony Village.
But when he arrived in the village, Adrian didn't even have the money to drink in the tavern. It just so happened that Enisa solved the public order problem in the village by recruiting people, so he joined the patrol and ate food.
Adrian doesn't have noble ideals, it's hard enough to fill his stomach and live. His diligence is entirely because he is too poor to withstand any loss and must work honestly. But he never imagined that he would be rewarded for not being lazy.
"Mr. Hugo, I am very happy to be rewarded. I used to make a living by making myself laugh and making people laugh. I never thought that anyone could identify with me. Words cannot express my inner gratitude. I can only say'Thank you '."
Adrian lowered his head, kept bowing for a long time, and suddenly couldn't stop choking. He even wanted to get down and kiss Zhou Qingfeng's vamp.
Zhou Qingfeng refused without hesitation, "Mr. Adrian, please stand still. Your dignity is extremely precious."
