"Machu?" A female voice suddenly sounded from the side.
The round-faced man looked over and saw a young woman walking over.
The round-faced man looked respectful: "Donna is in charge."
"Yes." The woman responded, took the paper from the round-faced man's hand, and narrowed her eyes, "Machu Philip? 165021? Atlanta University, Level 1, Dormitory 6, Room 502, Bed 1 ... Well, it seems that it is indeed him... "
The woman remembered some past events and was lost in thought for a while. She handed the paper back to the round-faced man and said, "This Ma Qiu is one of my seniors. The relationship is... not bad. He has taken care of me before. So just take care of this person." For father and son, assign them to a good place."
"Steward, look, send the child to..." The round-faced man thought for a while and suggested in a low voice, but was interrupted before he could finish his sentence.
The woman named Donna waved her hand and said, "Don't bother me with such a small matter. Just make your own decision. I believe you will do it well."
After saying that, he turned around and left.
The round-faced man looked at the woman's back and couldn't help but smile bitterly, but there was nothing he could do.
He knew that the woman's identity was unusual. He heard that she had some relationship with the upper echelons of Salin and had been developing in Salin. The reason why I came to this small department of the Red Rock City Labor Office was to understand the situation at the lower level, gain some experience, and prepare to become an independent manager of a certain department.
He could never afford to offend such a person.
So…
"call-"
The round-faced man took a deep breath, looked up at Philip and his son, and decided: "Let's do this, you guys..."
…
A month and a half later.
"Click, click, click..."
In the shaking carriage, on a small wooden bed, Philip opened his eyes and woke up from his sleep.
He did not rush to get dressed, but lay quietly on the bed for a while, recalling what had happened in the past month and a half - because he felt that he was most awake only when he had just woken up.
The first thing I want to talk about is the decision made by the round-faced man from the Labor Department half a month ago. It was the other party's decision that made him appear here, and also made his son appear in another place.
The other party's original decision was to let his son Jimmy go to Red Rock City Ninth Technical College to study.
The Ninth Technical College is a medium-sized school, and its teaching quality is also mid-range. From this aspect, it seems that there is no care. But in fact, the Ninth Technical College is the best choice, because this school has financial support from Red Rock City, teaching is free, and it can provide free accommodation and three meals. If students have excellent grades, they can also provide bonuses. Many people can't get in even if they want to.
Then came his job. The other party arranged for him to be a motorcycle attendant.
The so-called locomotive handyman is a job without any technical content. Usually, you only need to clean, collect garbage, help carry goods, and check whether the carriage door is closed tightly.
While doing these chores, the salary is very high. The only problem is that I spend most of my time on the motorcycle and have almost no life of my own.
This resulted in him and his son Jimmy only seeing each other twice in a month and a half.
However, because we are always on the motorcycle, we don’t have to think about accommodation at all. All meals are provided for free by the transportation stations we pass by, and we can save almost all of our salary.
The round-faced man from the labor office told him this: Since he has no special skills and is not young, it is really difficult to arrange for him. It is better to temporarily work as a motorcycle attendant, so that he can at least save some money.
After he has worked for half a year, the identity assessment period will have passed, and if there are no major problems, he will be accepted as an official resident of Red Rock City. By then, the range of jobs he can engage in will expand, and he will be able to make more choices with money.
In his opinion, the round-faced man had no reason to lie to him, so he listened to what he said and worked on the motorcycle with peace of mind until today.
Speaking of which, this month and a half was not long, but it had a great impact on him. It made him discover for the first time that his ability to adapt was very strong.
Just like how he quickly adapted to the world of eternal night and the hungry life, he also quickly adapted to the life of a motorcycle attendant and everything in Red Rock City.
For example, he already knows that the so-called steel monster is not a real steel monster, or even a living life, but a complex mechanical creation.
The one he is currently on is called the Mark III magic motorcycle, and there is also the Roche II type. He is also the so-called small steel monster.
The little steel monster that is ridden on the body is called a two-wheeled rickshaw, also called a bicycle... Although it cannot drive by itself, it still needs the help of manpower.
In addition, the stove, which is mounted on four wheels and driven by a human, is actually another type of modified magic motorcycle called the Bente Type 1. For individuals, the price is very expensive. Even if his salary is not low, if he wants to buy one, he will have to go without food or drink for decades.
There are boxes of canned food that can be rolled out on the street, called vending cabinets, and they are relatively cheap - for a common coin, you can buy a can that is enough for a full meal.
The iron block in the pavilion that allows people to talk to the "ghost" is a magic communication machine that allows people to quickly contact another person in a distant place. He tried once and contacted his son Jimmy Little. He was surprised to hear Little Jimmy's voice, but the cost also made him feel very sad - after just a few words, he spent the money of three cans.
The small silver house that had always frightened him finally made him figure it out. It was called a transport ladder, which was similar to an automatically moving step that could transport people to high or low places. Five women went in and three men came out because five women went to a higher place and three men returned from the higher place, instead of five women becoming three men.
In addition to these, he also figured out many, many things.
For example, the energy shield outside Red Stone City is usually nearly transparent and can be freely entered and exited, but once it is turned on at full power, it will turn red to isolate the inside and outside. For example, there is a huge grain planting base underground in Red Rock City, which can produce a large amount of grain, so it can feed the entire city and still have a surplus. For another example, the public security in Red Rock City is exaggeratedly good. There is almost no need to worry about being robbed or stolen, because once a crime is committed, Red Rock City will severely punish it.
Red Rock City is really a very interesting city. Although his status assessment period has not passed yet, and according to regulations, he will be potentially monitored by Red Rock City officials, he already regards himself as a member of Red Rock City.
He made a simple plan: after working as a motorcycle handyman for half a year, he would rent a small house next to the Ninth Technical College so that he could see his son often. When the time comes, he will find another job nearby, or try to do some business.
Of course, before that, we still have to do a good job as a locomotive attendant.
Thinking of this, Phillip heard some noises outside, so he didn't continue to lie down, got dressed neatly, and walked to the door.
He remembered that the engine chief told him that today was a special day and he had to be careful. Because today is not about which traffic station we are going to, but what we are going to... the Free Energy Element Solidification Factory.
Free energy element solidification plant
With a "squeak" sound, Phillip pushed the door open.
