"No, hey, I don't need that much!"
Shen Qiu still smiled and shook his head.
"Oh, what are you talking about welfare? Becoming a regular employee is for the sake of faith and to better serve the public. Shen Qiu, I tell you, hurry up and become a regular employee. The Red Alliance will guide you towards a bright future."
Chen Wei spoke to Shen Qiu with great emotion.
"Does this count as PUAing me?"
Shen Qiu responded with a smile.
"Alas~ I have finished the assessment. This guy is so indifferent to daily necessities. It is difficult to find a strong man to share the work with him."
Chen Wei looked helpless.
Hua Yue on the side also said with a smile.
"Okay, stop making trouble and get back to work. You can eat after you finish your work."
"Let me help."
Shen Qiu may be joking, but he won't just stand by and watch the show.
"terrific!"
Li Yan patted Shen Qiu on the shoulder.
So they continued to organize the supplies.
…
A few hours later.
Shen Qiu and his team finally finished counting the supplies.
After Hua Yue uploaded the statistical data, she smiled and said to Shen Qiu and others.
"Okay, the statistics are finally finished."
"Let's go eat. I'm really hungry."
Chen Wei called everyone out.
Shen Qiu and the others followed Chen Wei out of the tent.
Soon they found an open space and gathered together.
Then Huayue and the others built a simple stove with stones, lit a fire and started cooking porridge.
"The conditions are rather simple, Shen Qiu, you have to make do with what you have."
Li Yan said to Shen Qiu.
"I'm not picky, but can you bear it?"
Shen Qiu said these words, not to mock or anything. It's just that they are all from the same district, and when have they ever eaten such bad food
"We are not spoiled children, so what can't we do? Besides, don't you see the current situation..."
Chen Wei had just said half of his words when Li Yan poked him with his arm.
At this time, there was a sound of footsteps, and everyone turned their heads to look over. They saw Gu Yuan walking over, his cold and proud face revealing a trace of fatigue.
Chen Wei decisively shut his mouth.
"Minister Gu, you're here."
Huayue greeted quickly.
Gu Yuan nodded slightly and sat down. At this time, he noticed Shen Qiu sitting there, and spoke lightly.
"Shen Qiu, you are here."
"Yeah, I just got here."
Shen Qiu replied very politely. He still had great respect for Gu Yuan.
It was thanks to his help in the early days that I was able to successfully exchange my first pot of gold.
At this moment, Gu Yuan suddenly thought of something and asked with a frown.
"Shen Qiu, shouldn't your merits be enough? Why haven't you been promoted yet?"
When Shen Qiu heard this question, he didn't know how to answer for a moment.
At this time, Yun Xiaoxi, who was standing by, quickly started to explain.
"Director Gu, Shen Qiu is used to being lazy and prefers freedom, so he didn't get a permanent job."
"I don't think he's lazy at all, he's just too smart, haha."
Li Yan laughed and teased.
When Gu Yuan heard this, he understood and didn’t ask any more questions. Everyone has a different personality.
The porridge was soon cooked, and Huayue and Yun Xiaoxi started to serve a large bowl to everyone.
Shen Qiu took the hot porridge and took a sip. It tasted pretty good.
This is not ordinary white porridge, it has things like protein powder and minced meat powder added to it.
"Minister Gu, is the situation very bad now?"
Shen Qiu asked.
"Well, now there are crypt-type monsters everywhere in Black Plains City. These crypt creatures are like dog-skin plasters, taking root in Black Plains City."
Gu Yuan said as he drank some hot porridge to warm himself up.
"Crypt monsters like darkness and tend to hide in inconspicuous corners. Plus, many of them can dig holes, so it's a real headache to deal with them."
Shen Qiu thought about it for a moment and also felt that it was very tricky.
"This is not the most troublesome thing. The biggest problem is the abyss hole in the center. Every day, a large number of monsters pour out endlessly. The defense line we set up is frequently attacked, and people are killed and wounded every day. We are now seriously short of manpower and ammunition is also beginning to run short. After all, it is consumed every day."
Gu Yuan looked very solemn.
"If that's the case, if we don't solve that deep hole, then everything we do will only be a temporary solution."
Shen Qiu thought for a moment and replied.
"Oh, I really hate my own lack of strength. If I could advance to the fourth realm, I would rush into that abyss and kill as many people as I can!"
Chen Wei patted his thigh and said with great regret.
"Alright, stop daydreaming here. You are still in the fourth realm. You haven't even broken through the third realm!"
Li Yan blushed for Chen Wei when he heard what he said.
"I know I haven't made a breakthrough, but I'm just lamenting. We are all human, why are they advancing so quickly while we are so slow?"
Chen Wei complained somewhat helplessly.
"From here we can see that everyone has hidden potential. Those who can break through have already done so, and those who can't break through simply have poor aptitude. If we don't work harder to catch up, the gap will get bigger and bigger, and we will never be able to catch up in the end."
Gu Yuan said calmly.
After hearing Gu Yuan's words, Chen Wei and the others' expressions suddenly froze, and they said with a wry smile.
"Minister Gu, don't say that. It puts too much pressure on us!"
After Shen Qiu thought about it, he found that what Minister Gu said actually made sense. Of course, this topic was a bit awkward, so he decisively changed the subject.
"Minister Gu, what should we do next?"
Gu Yuan took a deep breath and spoke calmly.
"If it is my personal wish, I will give up the Black Plains City."
Shen Qiu's eyelids jumped when he heard Gu Yuan's words. This guy was very decisive. But this sentence can't be said casually. To put it bluntly, it is called disturbing the morale of the army. In the past, it would be beheaded.
So Shen Qiu swallowed and said.
"Minister Gu, it's not a good idea to say this. What if someone hears..."
"Don't worry. Even if others can't tell it, it's okay for Gu Bu to tell them. After all, this Black Plains City belongs to Gu Bu's family."
Li Yan said with a bright smile.
When Shen Qiu heard this, he was stunned and looked at Gu Yuan in surprise.
"Ah? Are you from one of the eight great families?"
"Um."
Gu Yuan responded expressionlessly, as if he was talking about a trivial matter.
Shen Qiu was also shocked when he heard this. He didn't expect that Gu Yuan was actually from one of the eight major families.
In his impression, people from the eight major families were at most just listed in the KPI department, and very few were willing to serve as team leaders and put out fires everywhere.
But when he thought about Gu Yuan's temperament, it seemed quite compatible.
Yun Xiaoxi said to Shen Qiu with a smile at this time.
"Are you scared? We were the same as you when we first knew Gu Bu's identity. But after getting to know each other for a long time, it's nothing. After all, Gu Bu is such a nice person."
"Yeah, that's right."
Shen Qiu nodded.
Just then, Zhang Tang ran over in a hurry, shouting out of breath.
"Minister Gu!"
"Zhang Tang, what are you doing? You look so flustered."
Chen Wei shouted to Zhang Tang who was running over.
"Something bad has happened."
Zhang Tang said with an uneasy look.
"What happened?"
Gu Yuan narrowed his eyes and asked Zhang Tang.
