Looking at Ronggui with a pile of "garbage", Xiaomei's expression did not change.
In eight hours, he really walked a long way, the surrounding was dark, and there were countless forks in the narrow mine, like a huge maze. In order to return accurately, Xiaomei marked of.
In reality, however, he ended up not using those marks.
He touched it back little by little along Ronggui's "singing".
In the narrow corridor, Ronggui's ordinary robot standard voice also became transparent and ethereal, sometimes absent, looming, no matter where he went, he could always hear Ronggui's voice.
Just like a line, Ronggui is always on the other end of the line.
He wouldn't say that Ronggui's voice sounded a little pleasant after being filtered through layers of narrow mines.
It was like the audio CD he played in the room inside the White Tower not long ago.
And no matter where he is, there is always a voice that seems to be absent.
Probably because of this reason, he found a familiar rhythm again, and the entire eight hours were devoted to observation and excavation, which soon passed.
He doesn't feel lonely, and the loneliest place is not here.
He looked at the sky-
But there is only darkness there now.
Then he went back to work.
"Xiaomei Xiaomei, how many ore have you dug?" Finally, Ronggui's voice interrupted his thoughts for a moment.
The searchlight on the miner's hat on Ronggui's head shone brightly on him. After a short period of darkness caused by the conversion of his vision system, when he was able to see things again, he felt that here and just now were two places.
"..." Without saying a word, Xiaomei just turned slightly to let Ronggui see the pocket on her waist.
It was the pocket that contained the necessary supplies for miners before, and the contents were all escaped by Xiaomei as rubbish.
Now that pocket is bulging and looks very full.
"Wow! It looks like a lot! As expected of Xiaomei, I started mining for the first time!" Ronggui immediately praised.
Xiaomei did not refute.
Pick up Ronggui's head, put it back into the backpack and hang it on his chest, then turn the small backpack on the ground and put it on his back, leaving all the things on it on the ground, he is about to leave, Ronggui roars Roar stopped him again.
"There's still so much food here! Take it, and our radio! You must take this, and I'll charge it when I go back~"
After looking at the "garbage" that was useless to him on the ground, Xiaomei finally squatted down and picked them up, then threw them all into the small back basket behind her.
Ronggui was satisfied.
They arrived at the elevator on time three minutes before the designated time, and there was no one there. Ronggui was a little worried at first that they might have been let go of pigeons. He was relieved until other miners appeared one after another from afar.
Other people's backpacks are either full or half full. Compared to Xiaomei who only has a small pocket of ore, others have the least harvest and more than Xiaomei.
But Xiaomei is the first time~
I'm afraid that Xiaomei loses her confidence...
Ronggui was worried for a while, and soon, he heard the sound of the elevator behind him, as well as the sound of familiar music. With the sound of the door opening, a bright room appeared strangely again in the middle of the dark mine. The miners They walked in one after another, the elevator doors closed, and then went up quickly.
There was still nothing in the room, and the miners seemed tired, all sitting in their seats, no one talking.
It was too quiet, and Ronggui didn't dare to say a word.
He hummed quietly to the music in the room in his heart.
This deadly silence ended 20 minutes later, when Ronggui just hummed the last note in his heart, the music in the room stopped at the same time, the elevator door opened, and a man entered.
Ronggui took a look: he was still an acquaintance, the tall man at the door!
"Okay, it's time to receive the goods." Holding a big bag in his big fan-like hand, he walked in in such a big way.
Led by the leading miner, the other miners immediately lined up in order, so that Xiaomei could only fall to the last one.
Fortunately, they are not fighting for a minute and a half, and this time is just to see the results of other people~
"... a piece of germanium rough, the quality is not very good, give you 6 points, this black field stone is big enough, 20. Shani..." The tall man quickly calculated, Ronggui didn't see what he used Testing equipment, is it all judged by eyes? How much does it look like? Or is this nonsense...
Ronggui is a little worried: what if he misses the stone when he shows Xiaomei the stone~
Here, Rong Gui's mind was turning over and over with some inexplicable questions out of nothing, but Xiaomei observed the ore mined by others with a cold expression, and calculated the points that everyone finally got.
Obviously, the order of the teams is in the order of the total points obtained.
They lined up this way from the beginning, and the test results are still in this order today, which means that the results of each test are similar.
Mining ore really depends on the discernment of ore, and the probability of being able to rely on luck is extremely rare.
And the tall man should be the manager of this mine. From the details of his hands, it can be seen that he should also be a miner. However, other miners are still miners, but he has become the manager.
This shows that in Erni City, there are other careers besides miners, but they just don't understand the promotion and selection mode.
It doesn't matter, you can take it slowly - although the things to think about are irrelevant, but in the end, the last thought in Ronggui's mind coincides strangely with Xiaomei.
"Okay, newcomer, it's you...you guys." The tall man's bag was full, but he threw more on the ground. Those were naturally worthless ore that he judged, and the miners who dug it were also There is no intention to put it away, just let them lie on the ground.
The other miners hadn't left yet, and stood indifferently near the door. Ronggui guessed that they probably wanted to see Xiaomei's harvest ← just to evaluate the newcomer's strength.
So Xiaomei went out to dig stones under the watchful eyes of everyone.
The ore that Xiaomei dug up has a big feature: it is small.
Other people's ores are in large chunks, but when they arrive at Xiaomei, they are basically the size of a palm, or the size of Xiaomei's own palm. The largest piece is also smaller than Ronggui's head. As for the small... Egg size.
If he had hands, Ronggui would almost hide his face.
Even if he is a layman, he knows that it is easier to contain rough stones in large ores, right? Anyway, the probability is higher, such a small ore...
Why! I blame myself for tossing my body, Xiaomei must be unable to carry it! ! ! ! !
Ronggui shouted inwardly.
Sure enough, one of the miners left the room at the time—80% of them felt that there was no need to continue watching.
Although the others were still there, they also started to pack up.
On the other hand, the small leader of the miners who was in charge of leading the way was still watching, while the tall manager extended his big hand and first took an egg-sized ore from Xiaomei's palm:
"Um... this one... no."
Then Xiaomei handed out the second egg... No, it was the second ore.
"This one... Regrettably, there is none."
The ore in Xiaomei's pocket was handed out one by one. With the judgment results of "no" and "no", the miners in the room went more and more. After hearing the judgment of the last ore, finally, the man The little leader of the miners also walked out mercilessly. In the end, only the tall manager, Xiaomei, and the big head of Ronggui were left in the room.
The judgment result of the last ore was slightly better. It contained a mile of Kuroda Stone, and Xiaomei got two points for this.
Among all the miners who went out today, his harvest was the least.
But he didn't care, and the administrator obviously didn't care too much, just asked lazily: "Take out your pass, and I'll give you the points now."
The pass is the pay card, which is very useful here.
However, Xiaomei dug into Fang Ronggui's bag, and after a while she took out two passes: "Can I get 1 point on each pass?"
"Huh?" The administrator seemed stunned.
Ronggui was also stunned.
Of the two passes in Xiaomei's hand, one is naturally Xiaomei's, while the other is...
is his!
But he didn't shout, asking Xiaomei or refuting at this time.
A little uneasy, Ronggui looked at Xiaomei's chin timidly.
"No." The administrator said something in denial: "If the points can be transferred back and forth, then people in this place must be robbing them every day. We don't care about the battles between the miners, but everyone doesn't care about it. It's hard for us to work hard."
"So points are basically non-transferable."
"You just said that transfer is basically prohibited, then, there are also cases where transfer is possible." Seizing the key words, Xiaomei asked again.
"..." After a moment of silence, the man suddenly laughed.
"You are really smart, you know that your strength is not large, and you also know that the probability of digging ore for the first time is extremely low, not to mention that as a newcomer, you can't get any good mines.
I simply gave up the hope of finding ore, and chose to classify the ore in the mine. One type of ore was knocked down and a small piece was used as a sample. You brought them here simply to let me help identify them.
Very clever way, you're the second of all the miners who come here. "
Hearing the administrator's slow narration, Rong Gui was stunned: Oh my god! Totally unexpected!
I'm sorry - Xiaomei, I'm not your confidant! ! ! !
However, it is said that people with the same IQ are not good friends. Smart people generally like fools, and they do need a fool to be their friend. For example, now, another smart person, the administrator, obviously wants someone to pick up the conversation. The still smart Xiaomei did not respond in a cold manner. At this time, a person who is not very self-sufficient in IQ is needed to answer the conversation sympathetically.
So, Ronggui asked decisively: "Hey? Has anyone done this before? Who is that person!"
Fully exerting his good acting skills, Rong Guiwen is naive and stupid.
Then the administrator was really happy: "Hehe, it's me."
Sure enough—Ronggui thought to himself, and knew that you wanted to take the opportunity to show off.
However, it is rare to see someone using the method that he has used. The administrator is in a good mood and continues to point them: "Ordinary people's points cannot be transferred, but family's can. Points are an important tool to travel to other cities. In order to allow a family to act together, the points within the family can be transferred to each other.”
"But correspondingly, when receiving various punishments, it is also for all family members, which is also to prevent someone from exploiting this loophole."
"How, do you two want to open a joint family account?"
Ronggui was stunned.
Then, he heard Xiaomei coldly say, "Yes."
"Okay, it just so happens that the machine I have here has the authority to open a family account, so I will open it for you now?"
"it is good."
"After opening, no matter how many points you earn, half of them will be equally distributed to another member of the family, are you sure?"
"Sure."
Xiaomei's answer was very fluent and comfortable, and the manager didn't ask any more questions. He quickly opened an account for him. The next second, when the card was handed over to Xiaomei, although the card looked no different, the inside The information has been vastly different.
If there is a heart, Ronggui's heartbeat must be very fast now.
Will it pop out
However, he has no heart now, so he can only stare blankly at Xiaomei's chin.
"Okay, then I'm leaving, you all leave quickly, the next group of workers is about to go to work." Picking up his heavy pockets, the man was ready to retreat.
"Can I take these ores with me?" Xiaomei stopped him, and then pointed to the ores she dug up on the ground.
"Okay, but it will take a while to come to me to knock the chapter."
"Thank you! Thank you!" Ronggui immediately thanked Xiaomei for him.
With a wave of his hand, the man swayed away.
Then Xiaomei squatted on the ground and picked up the ore thrown on the ground piece by piece.
After picking up his own, he also went to see other people's discarded ores.
"Xiao, Xiaomei, why do you want to look at other people's ores? Are there any omissions?" Not knowing what to say, Ronggui could only find a topic.
"That person's vision is very accurate, and there can be no omissions. I'm just observing what other ore judged to have no minerals looks like, and I can just ignore it when I find this kind of ore." While flipping through the stones, Xiaomei replied.
"Oh!" Ronggui was quiet for a while, then—
"Xiao, Xiaomei, why do you want to set up a family account with me? That... that... "
"Your body is broken and you need new materials. We have to go to other cities to obtain new materials that cannot be provided here, so you must have enough points to travel to the new city."
"And with who you are now..." Xiaomei said, looking down at Ronggui's big head: "It is estimated that you can only save enough points to go to the next city by selling another body in your freezer, you have to do this ?"
"No! Why should I sell my real body to repair the robot's body!" Ronggui immediately refused.
"So at the moment it can only be in the form of a family account."
"Uh... that's right..."
It seems that something is right, and it seems that something is wrong, Rong Gui thought about it for a long time and couldn't figure it out.
He didn't know that at this moment, even Xiaomei who made this decision didn't understand.
For Xiaomei, he just made the easiest choice in this situation.
In a short time, before he can understand, before he can find a replacement, he still needs Ronggui's freezer, and the damage to Ronggui's mechanical body is also directly related to him, he doesn't want to owe the other party favor, he just wants to make up That's it.
Just a choice.
But for Ronggui, it is one more "home".
After thinking about it and thinking about it, Ronggui smiled stupidly.
From today, he and Xiaomei are no longer just friends.
They are family.
