Banner of the Evil God

[Due to work needs, we have transferred the second-level prospector Hops Wilder to participate in the prospecting project with the Gold Coin Federation. You must report to the Pyroxene City Mining Hall before October 8. All board, lodging and travel expenses can be collected at the Finance Department of the City Hall with this transfer order.

Today

Ministry of the Northwest Republic]

Hops looked at the transfer order with some confusion, took off his gloves and scratched his head.

"What does this mean?" he asked.

The messenger was a purebred rabbit man with bright red eyes and a humorous three-petal mouth. He had obviously encountered similar situations before, and smiled and said: "I don't know much about the specifics. It seems that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Gold Coin Federation have several cooperative projects, one of which is to help them explore mineral veins. There is a lack of sufficient manpower over there, so we will transfer a group of capable personnel over here. Then the higher-ups discussed it and checked the list. At a glance, hey! We have a young man who has just graduated and has become a second-level worker. It is worth training... So, you know."

Hops understood it and couldn't help laughing.

The Northwest Republic divides workers into several levels according to their technical level from low to high. A worker who has mastered the basic technical essentials and can complete the work skillfully is a first-level worker, a worker who can not only complete the work skillfully but also strive for excellence is a second-level worker, a worker who can lead a team to preside over large-scale work is a third-level worker, a worker who can serve as a teacher training talent is a fourth-level worker, a worker who can lead innovation is a fifth-level worker, a worker who can compile textbooks and dictionaries is a sixth-level worker... Currently, there are only these six levels, and theoretically, there may be seventh, eighth, and ninth levels in the future... and so on.

The orc Hops Wilder studied prospecting and mineral processing at New Oriental Technical School. After graduation, he went to the gold rush town first and worked there for two years. Because of his excellent performance, he was promoted to a second-level prospecting worker. Then he returned to the smelting center near the Void City and worked as a mineral processing worker.

Hops is young and studious, smart and sharp, does a good job, and has a good income. In recent years, his life has been getting better and better. Not long ago, he just bought a house in the Void City and was ready to move out of the dormitory. He had planned to ask a few older friends who had always taken care of him as elders to help him find a suitable girl after moving into the new house, so that he could start a family and live a stable life. However, he unexpectedly received such a transfer order.

After laughing, he fell into deep thought when he looked at the transfer order.

To be honest, he really didn't want to leave the Northwest Republic. He liked the environment and atmosphere here, which made him feel very relaxed. When he thought about leaving the Northwest Republic temporarily, he couldn't help but think of his youth.

In fact, those things happened not long ago, only five or six years. But in his feeling, everything seemed to be a long time ago.

Looking back at those people and things that were once familiar, there is a deep sense of alienation, and they feel out of place.

He knew that this was because he had become accustomed to the life here and could never go back to the days of the past.

He didn't want to go back either, not at all!

(Alas... why did I think of those things again!)

He smiled self-deprecatingly, shook his head, and threw away his boring thoughts.

There has never been a saying of "forced work" in the Northwest Republic. Although this transfer order was issued by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, if Hopps does not want to go out, he can still refuse the transfer, and no one will do anything to him for this - this practice is not uncommon. Many workers do not like to run around, so it is often difficult to find people to do such business trips.

But for this reason, the subsidies for business trips are generally very high. This time, the job is estimated to go to the Gold Coin Federation to help explore the mineral veins. The business trip is far away, and it is field work, so the subsidies must be very high.

Thinking of the subsidies, Hopps's attitude is not so firm.

He wants to buy a house in the Void City, and he will have to start a family and support his wife and children in the future. All of these require money, and a lot of money.

With his income, he can generally afford these. But if he can make a lot of money, he can live a better life.

So he thought that this business trip seemed to be good.

After thinking about it, he finally decided to go to the City Hall to inquire about the details.

After finishing the work at hand, Hopps took off his work clothes, took a shower, changed into casual clothes, and came to the City Hall with the transfer order.

He walked directly to the Ministry of Justice and soon found a fat man with a smile and scar on his face.

This man is not fat, but he is tall and has a round face. Looking at his temperament, people think he is fat.

"Brother Cambronne, I received a transfer order. Do you know what's going on?" Hopps greeted and walked over.

Cambronne and Hopps knew each other very early. When Hopps just came to the Northwest Republic, the two met. Later, they became friends and often had dinner and chatted together.

Cambronne is a generous and kind person with many friends. Because he works in the City Hall, he is well-informed, so when his friends want to inquire about something, they often come to him.

After reading Hopps' transfer order, Cambronne asked Hopps to wait in the reception room and ran to ask acquaintances.

After a while, he ran back and told Hopes what he had learned.

This business trip is basically to help the Gold Coin Federation explore several mineral veins. The specific location is uncertain, but it should be close to the Northwest Republic.

Because it is going abroad, the subsidy is very high, and it is estimated that there will be about three to five times the salary level - this is probably linked to the final results. If the results are good, there may be five times the salary, and if the results are poor, it is estimated that it will only be three times.

In addition, this exploration team will be led by a high-level strongman, and safety should not be a problem.

Hopps listened, nodded slightly, and asked: "So... Brother Cambronner, do you think this matter... is reliable?"

"It is definitely reliable, but..." Cambronner suddenly paused, was silent for a while, looked around, and then lowered his voice, "The risk is a bit high!"

"Risk?!" Hopps also lowered his voice and asked worriedly, "What risk?"

"Wait until I get off work, go to my house, I will tell you in detail, it's not convenient to say these here."

So after Cambronner got off work, they came to his house.

With warm wine and home-cooked dishes, the Cambronnes and Hopps talked about "risks".

"There may be a war in the Gold Coin Federation." Cambronne didn't keep the secret and went straight to the point.

Hopps was shocked and hurried to ask what was going on.

Cambronne's wife Jane is a nurse who works in the medical center run by Ms. Steele Gerten. During this period, the medical center suddenly increased the work of training battlefield nurses. Some people were confused and asked Ms. Steele, and the answer they got was "Don't worry, it's not us who want to fight, but the Gold Coin Federation may have a civil war."

If it was just the Gold Coin Federation that was fighting a civil war, Cambronne would never take it to heart - he is not a compassionate saint, what does it have to do with him if there is a war thousands of miles away?

However, if Hopps is going on a business trip to the Gold Coin Federation, this matter is worth noting.

After all, swords have no eyes. Even if Hops wasn't a member of the Gold Coin Federation, he would probably be dragged into the war and die for no apparent reason.

Chapter 1, the next chapter will probably be in the evening or night
