The Sabbath Chapter 37: Family Account
Looking at Ronggui who was placed with a pile of "garbage", Xiaomei's expression did not change at all.
In eight hours, he did go far, far away, surrounded by darkness, and there are countless branch roads in the narrower and narrower mine, like a huge maze. In order to return accurately, Xiaomei had to There are marked.
In reality, however, he ended up not using those tags.
He came back bit by bit following Ronggui's "singing voice".
In the narrow corridor, Ronggui's ordinary robot standard voice also became transparent and ethereal.
Like a thread, Ronggui is always on the other end.
He wouldn't say that Ronggui's voice actually sounded a little pleasant after being filtered through layers of narrow mines.
It's like the audio disc he played in the room in the White Tower not long ago.
Then no matter where he is, there is always a faint singing voice.
Probably because of this reason, he found a familiar rhythm again, and spent a full eight hours on observation and digging, and it passed quickly.
He does not feel lonely, and the loneliest place is not here.
He looked at the sky——
However, there is only darkness there now.
Then he continued to work.
"Xiaomei Xiaomei, how much ore have you dug?" Finally, Ronggui's voice interrupted his moment of contemplation.
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 the visual system, when he was able to see again, he felt that this place and just now were two different places. .
"" didn't make a sound, Xiaomei just turned her body slightly so that Ronggui could see the pouch around her waist.
It was the pocket that was used to hold the necessary supplies for the miners, and the contents inside were all escaped by Xiaomei as garbage.
Now that pocket is bulging, it looks very full.
"Wow! It looks like a lot! As expected of Xiaomei, she 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 over the small backpack on the ground and put it on his back, throw all the things on it on the ground, he is about to leave, Ronggui Guiji Houhou stopped him again.
"There is so much food here! Take it, and our radio! This must be taken, I will charge it when I go back"
Looking at the "garbage" on the ground that was useless to him, after a pause, Xiaomei finally squatted down to pick them up, and then threw them all into the small basket behind her.
Ronggui is satisfied now.
They arrived at the elevator entrance on time three minutes before the designated time, and there was no one there. At first, Ronggui was a little worried about whether they were being released. He didn't relax until other miners appeared from afar. Take a breath.
The other people's baskets are either full or half full, compared to Xiaomei who has only a small pocket of ore, and the ones who harvest the least are more than Xiaomei.
But Xiaomei is the first time
I'm afraid Xiaomei will lose confidence
Ronggui was worried for a while, and soon, he heard the sound of an elevator behind him, as well as the sound of familiar music, accompanied by the sound of a door opening, a bright room appeared strangely again in a dark mine pit In the center, the miners walked in one after another, the elevator doors closed, and then rose rapidly.
There was still nothing in the room, the miners seemed to be tired, all sat in their seats, no one spoke.
It was so quiet that Ronggui didn't dare to say anything.
He hummed softly to the music in the room in his heart.
The deadly silence ended after twenty minutes, 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 inside.
Ronggui took a look: he is still an acquaintance, the tall man at the door!
"Okay, it's time to receive the goods." Holding a big bag in his big palm-like hand, he just walked in with such a big lala.
Headed by the leading miner, the other miners immediately lined up in order, so that Xiaomei could only be the last one.
Fortunately, they don't compete for a minute and a half. This time is just a good time to see other people's achievements
"A germanium rough stone, the quality is not very good, I'll give you 6 points, this Kuroda stone is big enough, 20. Sani" The tall man quickly calculated, Ronggui didn't see him use it What testing equipment, is it all judged by eyes? How much do you know how to read this? Or is this nonsense
Ronggui is a little worried: what if he loses his sight when showing Xiaomei the stone?
Here, Ronggui's mind was full of inexplicable and out-of-the-box questions, but Xiaomei observed the ore mined by others with a cold expression, and calculated the points everyone got in the end.
Obviously, the order of the teams is based on the order of the total points obtained.
They lined up like this from the beginning, and the test results are still in this order, which means that the test results are similar every time.
The mining of ore really depends more on the eyesight to distinguish the ore, and the probability of being able to rely on luck is extremely rare.
And that tall man should be the manager of this mine pit. 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 still other career opportunities besides miners, but they just don't understand the promotion and selection mode.
It's okay, you can take your time—although the things you think about are irrelevant, but in the end, the last thought in Ronggui's mind strangely overlaps with Xiaomei's.
"Okay, newcomers, it's your turn." The tall man's bag was full, but he threw more on the ground, and those were naturally worthless ores judged by him. The miners didn't mean to put it away, just let them lie on the ground.
The other miners hadn't left yet, they stood indifferently near the door, Ronggui guessed that they probably wanted to see Xiaomei's harvest to assess the newcomer's strength.
So Xiaomei went out to dig the ore in full view.
The ore dug out by Xiaomei has a great feature: it is small.
Other people's ores are big and big, but when it comes to Xiaomei, they are basically the size of the palm of Xiaomei's own palm. The largest piece is also smaller than Ronggui's head. As for the small ones It's only the size of an egg.
If he had a hand, Ronggui would almost hide his face.
Even if he is a layman, he also knows that it is easier to store rough stones in large ores, right? Anyway, the probability is higher, such a small ore
Hey! I blame myself for tossing my body to pieces, Xiaomei must not be able to carry it! ! ! ! !
Ronggui yelled inwardly.
Sure enough, a miner went out of the room at that time—80% felt that there was no need to continue watching.
Although the others were still there, they also started to pack their things.
The little leader of the miner who was leading the way was still watching, while the tall manager stretched out his big hand, and first took an egg-sized ore from Xiaomei's palm:
"Well, this one doesn't have one."
Then Xiaomei handed out the second egg, no, it was the second ore.
"It's a pity that there is no one."
The ores in Xiaomei's pocket were handed out one by one. With the judgment results of "no" and "no", more and more miners in the room walked. After hearing the judgment of the last ore, they finally , the little miner boss also walked out without mercy, and finally only the tall administrator, Xiaomei and Ronggui's big boss were left in the room.
The judgment result of the last ore was slightly better, it contained a lot of Kuroda Stone, and Xiaomei got two points for it.
Of all the miners who went out today, he got 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 salary card, which is very useful here.
Xiaomei took out Ronggui's bag, and after a while took out two passes: "Can I earn one point for each pass?"
"Huh?" The administrator seemed to be taken aback.
Ronggui was also taken aback.
Of the two passports in Xiaomei's hand, one is naturally Xiaomei's, while the other is not
It's his!
But he didn't yell loudly, ask Xiaomei or refute or anything at this time.
A little uneasy, Ronggui looked at Xiaomei's chin timidly.
"No." The administrator denied it: "If the points can be transferred back and forth, then people in this place must grab them every day. We don't care about the fights among the miners, but Therefore, if everyone does not work hard, it will be difficult for us."
"So points are basically forbidden to transfer."
"You just said that transfer is basically prohibited, so there are also situations where transfer is allowed." Grasping the key words, Xiaomei asked again.
"" After a moment of silence, the man suddenly smiled.
"You are really smart. You know that you are not very powerful, and you also know that the probability of digging ore for the first time is extremely low. Besides, as a newcomer, you can't get any good mines.
I simply gave up the hope of finding the ore, and chose to classify the ore in the mine. A small piece of ore of a type is used as a sample. You bring them here so that I can help identify them.
Very clever way, among so many miners who come here, you are the second one to do so. "
Listening to the administrator's slow narration, Ronggui was dumbfounded: 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 idiots, and they really need a idiot to be a friend. For example, now, another smart person—the administrator obviously wants someone to talk to , but Xiaomei, who was smarter than him, just didn't respond coldly. At this time, a person who is not very self-sufficient in IQ is needed to answer the question in a considerate manner.
Thus, Ronggui asked decisively: "Huh? Has someone done this before? Who is that person!"
With full play of his good acting skills, Rong Gui asked innocently and cutely.
Then the administrator was really happy: "Hehe, it's me."
Sure enough—Ronggui thought to himself, I knew you wanted to take this opportunity to show off.
However, it is probably rare to see someone using the method I have used. The administrator is in a good mood and continues to point them out: "Ordinary people's points cannot be transferred, but families can. The points are for going to other cities. An important tool, in order to allow a family to act together, the points within the family can be transferred to each other."
"But corresponding to this, when receiving various punishments, it is also for all family members. This is also to prevent someone from taking advantage of this loophole."
"How about, do you two want to open a joint family account?"
Ronggui was stunned.
Then, he heard Xiaomei say coldly: "Yes."
"Okay, it just so happens that my machine here has the authority to open a family account, can I open it for you now?"
"Okay."
"After opening, no matter how many points you earn, half of them will be shared equally with another member of the family, are you sure?"
"OK."
Xiaomei's answer was very fluent, so the administrator didn't ask any more questions, and quickly opened an account for him. The next second, when the card was handed over to Xiaomei again, although the card looked the same, But the information inside has been very different.
If there is a heart, Ronggui's heartbeat must be very fast now.
Will it jump out with a plop?
But now that he has no heart, he can only stare blankly at Xiaomei's chin.
"Okay, then I'm leaving, you guys leave quickly, the next batch of workers is going to work." Picking up the heavy bag, the man was ready to retreat.
"Can I take these ores away?" Xiaomei stopped him, and then pointed to the ores she dug out on the ground.
"Okay, but it will take a while to come to me to type."
"Thank you! Thank you!" Ronggui immediately thanked Xiaomei for him.
Waving his hand, the man staggered away.
Then Xiaomei squatted on the ground, picking up the ore thrown on the ground one by one.
After picking up his own, he went to look at other people's abandoned ore.
"Xiaomei, why do you want to look at other people's ores? Is there anything missing?" Not knowing what to say, Ronggui could only find a topic.
"That person's vision is very accurate, there is no possibility of omissions, I am just observing what other people's ores that have been judged to contain no minerals look like, and I can ignore them when I dig this kind of ore in the future." Stone, Xiaomei replied.
"Oh!" Ronggui was quiet for a while, and then——
"Xiao, Xiaomei, why did you create a family account with me? That and 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 go to the new city."
"And with you now" Xiaomei said, looking down at Ronggui's big head from above: "I guess you can only sell your other body in the freezer to save enough points to go to the next city. Do this?"
"No! Why would I sell my real body to repair a robot's body!" Rong Gui immediately refused.
"So at the moment it can only be used in the form of a family account."
"Uh, that's right"
It seems that something is right, and it seems that something is wrong, Ronggui thought for a long time but couldn't figure it out.
He didn't know, at this moment, even Xiaomei, who made this decision, didn't understand.
For Xiaomei, he just made the simplest choice in this situation.
In a short time, before he figured it out, before he found a replacement, he still needed Ronggui's freezer, and the damage to Ronggui's mechanical body was also directly related to him. He didn't want to owe the other party favors, he just Just want to make it up.
It's just a choice.
But for Ronggui, there is an extra "home".
After thinking about it again and again, Ronggui smiled foolishly.
Starting today, he and Xiaomei are no longer just friends.
They are family now.
