Travelling Frog

Chapter 51

Views:

The scheduled visit to "the set at 2pm tomorrow afternoon" had to be cancelled and postponed again because of Chief Sen's request to work overtime.

Hojo Natsuki cursed in his heart but kept a calm smile on his face, setting an example for all Port Mafia employees with his actions - hurry up and get a manager who can take responsibility, we can't hold on any longer.

The frog ignored him for unknown reasons, which made his already unstable and sad mood even worse.

It seemed angry, but Hojo Natsuki thought hard and searched his memory over and over again, but he couldn't think of where he had offended this old man unknowingly.

At the beginning.

[Natsuki]:Pay attention to me

[Natsuki]:I feel bad, talk to me

[Natsuki]: I'm so tired!

[Gin]: Oh

Screen swiping is useless.

Then he began to apologize indiscriminately, maximizing the buff of craftsmanship bestowed by his country's nationality.

[Natsuki]: I was wrong

[Natsuki]: I shouldn’t have done that

[Natsuki]: Please forgive me

[Gin]: Oh

Still no use!

After a long time, it said: [Not ready to confess? ]

[Tell me when you have thought it through.]

Hojo Natsuki: “…”

What do you want him to confess? Apart from being the boss, there doesn't seem to be anything special that needs to be told, right

What's with Qinwa's tone of questioning the cheating man? !

why why

I can't understand it at all!

Of course, Hojo Natsuki didn't know that the system had caused trouble. He felt very wronged and thought that he was like a straight man who had made his girlfriend angry for no reason. He had offended his girlfriend badly, but had no idea where he had gone wrong - this analogy is not quite appropriate, but it is very apt.

As a straight man, he (currently) decided to adopt the same approach as most of his compatriots: "let it (her) be angry first, and wait until it (she) calms down," and started to find other ways to amuse himself.

There are only two things about the game "Travel Frog" that are attractive to Hojo Natsuki.

One is to raise the frog, which is the most important focus. Without the frog, this game is nothing.

Another is to bully the employees of the simulated business, and let the virtual animals also suffer the pain that Mr. Mori inflicted on him. A person with limited moral standards will try every means to lift other people's umbrellas after being caught in the rain; if he is not happy, the animals will not be happy either.

If there is suddenly a missing piece between Poland and France on the world map, and a bald spot appears on the European map, that would be the great virtue that Hojo Natsuki is missing.

He himself was fully aware of this and enjoyed it. He watched Qinwa go out and opened the [Simulation Business] instead.

Look, who is this little black cat sitting at his workstation and tightening screws diligently

It turned out to be Zero who ran away from home before!

See how well it is screwed.

Zero Cat, the transparent plastic bag on the cat's head has a bow tied on it, which is similar to the fish tank on Akai Yu's head. The difference is that Zero Cat's plastic bag also has the words "Little Pond Toy Factory" printed on it.

When a new worker takes up his post, even though he learns very quickly, his efficiency in tightening screws is still much lower than that of a real skilled worker.

Next to the otter.

Twist, twist, twist, twist—it’s done!

The background music can be matched with an impassioned khaki song!

On the other hand, Zero Cat.

Cat's paw held the small wrench, and he carefully twisted it...twist...twist...twist it...twist it...not completely done yet, check it again. ... Speaking of which, Zero Cat was all black, except for the pink pads! But now it's all green, and with the pads, it shows a weird Christmas color combination, which is both strange and fresh.

System: [[Zero Meow] is a working emperor, has a first-rate learning speed and is very dedicated to his job. He can quickly handle any job! ]

Hojo Natsuki nodded.

nice!

Should we let Ling Miao go to the cafeteria to be the cooking chef next time? Can this cat claw be the chef

In the past few days, Fūya Rei quickly got used to the job and became a diligent screwdriver.

Repetitive mechanical work does not take up much of your mental energy, and after you have developed muscle memory, you can separate your hands and brain.

When Jiang Gu Ling was tightening the screws, he was thinking about life.

At first, I was thinking fairly normally: how can I sneak into the toy factory in the dead of night to search it? What kind of secrets might be inside the toy factory? If they were suddenly exposed, I would have to plan an escape route inside the toy factory park.

Later, the values were sublimated.

Rei Furuya has been an excellent student since he was a child. He successfully studied at a prestigious undergraduate university (true), then entered the police academy with the first place, and graduated with the first place when he graduated. He dreamed of becoming a public security policeman who protects society since he was a child... The public security officer was tightening screws in his work clothes.

He still couldn't understand why the toy factory would hire a college graduate with a salary that was ridiculously high for a screwdriver. Logically, they could have hired a skilled worker by offering half of his salary.

Fūya Rei thought about it again and again and felt that there must be something wrong.

So he decided to get close to his co-workers.

There is a distance between each person's workstation, probably to prevent employees from chatting and slacking off while working, which would reduce efficiency. Everyone wears the same style of dust-proof work clothes and goggles. At first glance, it is difficult to see any useful information.

Furukaya Rei looked around and locked onto a talkative middle-aged man named Matsuo Tomoya. His name was not important, anyway, he was a very suitable person to talk to, he liked to chat, just like a taxi driver, from national decision-making to small matters, Matsuo Tomoya could give some advice.

Another reason for choosing him was that his ancestral home was in Nagano, and he brought his family to Tokyo to work. During casual conversations, he often compared his hometown in Nagano with Tokyo.

The ancestral home place listed on "Amuro Toru's" resume is Nagano. In order to play this role well, Furuya Rei put in a lot of hard work in this regard.

His childhood friend, Morobushi Kagemitsu, was also from Nagano. After spending so much time with him, Furuya Rei gradually learned Japanese on his own and was able to perfectly imitate the subtle intonations and modal particles used by Nagano locals when speaking Japanese.

So Furuya Rei went to talk to Matsuo Tomoya.

Seeing his fellow villager, Matsuo was naturally very happy to chat with him. However, after just a few encounters, the other party had already regarded Furuya Rei as a young man who needed his support and care, and answered all his questions.

Furuya Rei: "How long have you been here?"

Matsuo waved his hand and said, "The factory was built last month, and they just started hiring last month, so I came half a month earlier than you."

Furiya Ling asked politely: "How does the treatment here compare to outside?"

"That's incomparable." Matsuo said in a rhythmic tone, "The salary here is much higher than outside. Listen to me, just work hard here and don't think about changing jobs. The salary outside..."

The "fellow villager" uncle told Fūya Rei his previous salary level and current after-tax income without reservation.

Then he found out that his “fellow villager” earned 10% more than himself.

As for the reason, it is probably because the other party was recruited from the society and has more experience.

Fūya Rei remained silent: "..."

Rei Furuya began to doubt his life.

It turned out that there was nothing against him, it was just that the organization was so rich that even the screw workers were willing to pay high salaries. At the same time, this also made him have a more ominous guess about the inside story of the toy factory - as expected, this factory did not want to make a profit at all.

Matsuo has a common problem among all middle-aged men: he likes to preach. He taught Furuya a set of "work slacking rules" that he had summarized, one of which was: when the workshop director was on duty, there must be no mistakes in the work, otherwise he would be called to the office for tea and scolded.

Furiya Rei thought about it and decided to give it a try.

Here he was, like a level 1 player in a sandbox game, trying his best to explore the map.

Next, Furuya Zero Selection

It was the day when the workshop director was on duty, and he deliberately made a mistake under the other party's nose and assembled two parts incorrectly.

The workshop director checked the parts he had installed, frowned, and got a little angry: "How could you install all of these wrong? You have a bad attitude, come with me..."

Fūya Rei sat upright, ready to open the map of the director's office.

"—Director!" His fellow villager from Nagano, Uncle Matsuo, slid over from his workstation and stood in front of Furuya Rei, "He's still a new member of society, don't be angry with a child, have a cigarette. This cigarette is really good, try it..."

Hojo Natsuki: “Pfft.”

The player couldn't help laughing, and the little black (green) cat who was waiting to be called to the director's office was also dumbfounded.

Zero Cat originally displayed an air of arrogance, as if he was at ease and confident of victory, showing all the privileges of an elite thug with a plan in mind. However, Brother Otter rushed out and stuffed two packs of cigarettes into the workshop director's paw, thus saving the mischievous little cat.

The director took advantage of the situation, accepted the cigarette from Otter, said a few words to Zero Meow, and left.

[Zero Meow]:…

Then, the director walked away and Brother Otter began to train the cat.

[Experienced Otter]: You have to be careful. When I first entered society, I was also clumsy...

Zero Meow's state changed from being a proud cat to being stunned, and then to being annoyed but not daring to say it, almost turning into a dejected little ball of fur. He still had to accept the otter's well-intentioned advice.

[Zero Meow]: OK... Thank you uncle... I will pay attention...

So funny!! Really so funny!

It’s so fun to see Ling Miao get humiliated.

After Hojo Natsuki replenishes his evil energy, he has another cup of iced American coffee and can have unlimited 996 for Port Mafia.

Four days later, by the time he had finished dealing with the temporary work assigned to him, nearly two weeks had passed in the game.

After two weeks of postponement, it’s time to visit the toy factory!

Now there is good news and bad news.

The bad news is that the frog is still inexplicably angry and has a cold attitude, using cold violence against other frogs - it treats its owner who loves it the most like this, and will be pointed at by other little frogs if it goes out. It really doesn't know what's good for it.

Good news, but Frog can’t resist Boss Puppy!

Hojo Natsuki thought about it these days. The reason why Koto Frog was angry recently might be because it was aware of its father's identity and thought that he was hiding it from it on purpose and wanted to wait for the day when he was exposed to have fun with it (which was indeed his original intention). If there was a suitable opportunity, he would introduce his shadow clone to Koto Frog, seize the initiative, confess actively, and make it impossible for Koto Frog to blame him.

So smart, how can there be such a smart person

Doesn’t this completely capture Gua Gua!

Hojo Natsuki had his plan made perfectly, and once again issued a notice that he would visit the factory for guidance, and included in his itinerary an item of "interviews with three outstanding newcomers in the factory", which he relaxed to 3 people, mainly because he was afraid that Ling Miao would not be able to make it into the top three; then he screened the contribution value list of the new employees and found that he had thought too much, the working emperor was really dedicated.

Great, that’s how we’ll arrange our schedule for that day.

1. Patrolling the toy factory, hinting to Qin Frog that this is the kingdom I have built for you, I hope it can understand

2. Knock on the employees and inspect the produced twisting cars. The same twisting car is the unique favoritism of the father to Prince Qin. If Qinwa can sense it, he may be moved to tears on the spot. The father and son recognize each other and shed tears. It is warm and touching.

3. Bully Zero Cat, like to see some cucumber-colored kittens trembling with fear

The plan was completed, there were laughter and tears, it was a perfect experience.

Seeing that the time in the game was almost up, Hojo Natsuki switched to the personal image interface, preparing to control the puppy to appear directly on the tricycle to give Qinwa a surprise, but he found that [New] floated out of the [Costume] column.

Previously he used the default headgear, but the optional sad frog headgear actually has quite a few variations.

Colorful headgear, headgear with eyes as big as copper bells... The dazzling array of styles made Hojo Natsuki suddenly fall into a difficult decision.

now

Tian came to guide me, and I should choose a style that is very expensive, indescribably expensive, reflects my identity, and can show my status and wealth... Scroll down...

—Okay! That’s it!

The sky outside the window is clear, and the scorching sun shines through the car window, creating a quiet atmosphere.

Vodka concentrated on driving, glancing at the time from time to time. He was very nervous, fearing that he would be late due to traffic jams and leave a bad impression on his boss, which would also implicate his eldest brother.

He was so focused that he didn't notice there was an extra person in the back seat of the Porsche, nor did he notice that his brother looked back a few times and seemed to say something.

Seven or eight minutes later, seeing that there were only two kilometers left to the toy factory park, Vodka's nerves relaxed a little and he was no longer fully focused on the road.

So Vodka casually glanced at the rearview mirror.

Vodka: “!!!!”

Ahhh! What is that

Why is there suddenly someone here!!!

He was stunned and almost hit the car in front of him with his foot on the accelerator. He used all his driving skills to stabilize the Porsche on the elevated road. A question of doubt and uncertainty was about to come out of his mouth -

"This is the Boss." He heard his elder brother say.

The vodka went silent, like a punctured balloon, all the air was leaking out of its seven orifices.

He didn't even have time to think about when this frog head appeared. He cheered up and greeted timidly: "Boss, good afternoon, Boss, I'm Vodka."

I have heard for a long time that Boss is a frog fanatic, and he likes to wear a weird green frog mask to scare people in the research institute. Vodka has always thought it was a rumor, but I didn't expect that the real thing would be inconsistent with the rumor. It was so inconsistent - Boss was wearing a frog mask, not green, but with GUCCI classic color and GUCCI print!

Vodka is bitter at heart.

What is this? Why are there GUCCI frog headgears? Are they custom-made? Is this showing off wealth? … But it’s so weird, so weird! !

Boss's voice was flat, and after the voice change, it was emotionless: "Good afternoon."

He adjusted his sitting posture slightly, folding his left hand on his knee, "Be careful with your words when you get to the park. Don't call me Boss, call me Factory Director."

Vodka: “…”

Kurosawa Jin: “…”

Vodka choked and replied, "...Okay, Director."

Boss nodded with satisfaction.

Kurosawa Jin didn't answer, looking straight ahead. He tilted his head slightly and saw Boss reaching for the central storage box. The other party took his cigarette box, opened it, took a look, and put it back. It was a very common behavior.

Her skin is fair, and in the sunlight it has a warm and translucent jade texture, and you can see thin blue blood vessels on the back of her palm.

But that's not the point.

Kurosawa Jin's gaze was fixed on an old wound on his wrist bone. The scar was too shallow and too narrow, a light white color that had long been healed. It was very inconspicuous and could not be noticed at all at a normal social distance.

During these few seconds, time slowed down infinitely. Kurosawa stared for a while, then looked away as if nothing had happened.

Only he himself knew that the guesses that popped up in his mind made him clench his teeth slightly.

“… When will you send me a postcard?”

A long time ago, in that dream where the protagonist's face could not be seen clearly, the other person asked him a question while holding his cheek with his palm. There was a scar on his wrist bone that was so shallow that it was invisible.

Like an illusion.

In the picture, a white puppy wearing a GUCCI headgear and a frog are sitting on a tricycle, one in front and one behind. As the tricycle shakes, the frog and the dog also sway left and right.

Hojo Natsuki held his chin with his hand, feeling very satisfied.

—So cute! In short, it’s very cute!

But it's quite strange that Fu Gua, as a car key, can talk and bubbles come out of the car body.

The tricycle rumbled along, the background changing all the way, and finally stopped in front of the iron gate of the park.

The iron door slowly opened.

Suddenly, face

The expressionless frog frowned and shot its eyes like swords at the small animal sitting in the security booth.

When Hojo Natsuki saw this, he was also embarrassed.

Wait, why is Akai Yuyu on duty during the day? ? Doesn't he work part-time as a security guard at night and fight for the organization during the day

The frog in the picture thought for a few seconds, then slowly turned its head, looked at the puppy, and said: [Should we call it? ]

Hojo Natsuki: “…”

It’s hard to tell the tone from the text.

But I always feel that it is a bit subtle...
