Cthulhu Gonfalon

Rif took a crossbow and walked up the sloping tunnel, feeling that he was almost exhausted.

As a skilled miner, the four-hour excavation work – and still just excavation – is not a heavy physical task for him. But the trouble is the overalls on his body. This weird dress is thick and heavy, wrapping him from head to toe, even his eyes, nose and mouth. There is nothing special about the water crystal inlaid in the eyes. There is a special ventilation mask in front of the nose and mouth like a pig's nose. Anyway, it is very cumbersome and very stuffy.

Sultry, he never thought that he could feel sultry in the days when the house was overcast and there was ice and snow all day long!

"It's still good in winter!" He couldn't help but sigh. "At that time, although the mud was frozen, it was very difficult to dig. At least it is not necessary to wear this strange clothes!"

Of course, this is just a sigh, not a complaint. Because the mayor of Felix, who presided over the excavation work, had repeatedly stressed that there is a dangerous negative energy in the ground, and only wearing this suit can avoid being hurt by them.

"Negative energy is not a knife or a poisonous snake. It won't hurt you so immediately, it will only hurt your body slowly." He now remembers what the beautiful female mayor said at the time, "If Without wearing this kind of protective clothing, you will slowly and slowly feel the spirits are sluggish, easy to get tired, the food intake is reduced, then it is easy to get sick, and it is not easy to recover after getting sick... basically it is almost **** to this step. But if you are particularly lucky and can sneak into the past, then waiting for you will be deeply eroded by negative energy and become something like zombies..."

Like this, Felix told them repeatedly for at least twenty times. She even asked every excavator to be able to repeat such a passage - not necessarily precise, but the general meaning could not be wrong.

She even found a group of mice to demonstrate the results of negative energy erosion to the excavators. Looking at the originally healthy mice, they quickly succumbed to weakness in the light gray negative energy, and finally fell down one by one, and a lucky one survived and became stiff and stiff, with a green light like a wildfire in the eyes, all The excavators were all scared.

Therefore, even when wearing this suit, it is very uncomfortable to work, it is easy to get tired, and they are absolutely afraid to take it off.

"Your Majesty, the equipment you gave them is really luxurious!" Feirex looked far away from the excavators and walked out of the tunnel slowly, stayed in the purification array for three minutes, and then was impatient. Taking off the protective suit, I couldn’t help but shake my head and said, "These guys probably dreamed about how expensive their clothes were..."

Xiongxiong smiled: "People-oriented. Huishui Town needs a lot of manpower, especially skilled workers, to rejuvenate. And even if the town is revived, it is also necessary to serve people. In my opinion, these excavators can compare those who are Plastic protective clothing is much more precious."

"Five hundred gold coins one piece of protective clothing ... this money to recruit mercenaries, at least enough to find ten swords and bows, dare to kill the brave."

"Hui Shizhen has you and Qiao Xiu, the force is enough. It is just enough to save money and invest in more valuable places." Yan Xiong said with a smile, "Not to mention that these protective clothing is not wasted, they are very durable. It can be used for a long time. With their help, when you harvest special mushrooms in the future, you can let ordinary people do it. It is much safer and more efficient."

Feireke grinned and did not agree with Yuxiong. But she does not object to Xiongxiong's practice. On the contrary, she likes this kind of cherished life--except for a few perverts, almost no one dislikes a generous and benevolent leader.

What's more, Xiong Xiong is not as simple as "benevolence and kindness". When he returns from this trip, he finds that as the tunnel digging deeper and deeper, the negative energy concentration in the tunnel is already much higher than the ground. Although this level of negative energy does not have any immediate harm, and the purification array after the work can eliminate most of the impact, but over time, it will still accumulate enough to cause serious illness or even death.

So he immediately informed Ferex and asked her to set out to prepare better protective measures for the excavators.

Felix has no opinion on this. She intends to buy the "magic cloth" compiled into the magical plant fiber to make protective clothing, and to protect the magical cloth by adding the effect of the entry-level spell "energy resistance". . Kazuo Kazuo vetoed this opinion and asked her to purchase a magic tape that could be built with the primary energy "energy protection" effect and make a fully covered heavy protective suit.

This has led to a significant increase in investment. With the current 30 excavators, 30 sets of magic cloth uniforms with additional "energy resistance" spells add up to less than 1,500 gold coins, and even some internal channels, even Can be reduced to 1,200 gold coins; but 30 sets of "energy protection" spells of magic tape heavy protective clothing, each piece must be five hundred gold coins, add up to 15,000 gold coins - this is still a friendship price!

This price scared Firex a jump. As a high-ranking mage who was accumulating knowledge and strength for entering the legendary realm, more than a thousand gold coins were not a big number for her, nothing more than a little bit of pain. No, but 15,000 gold coins... This price is enough for a group of top killers to assassinate a king. Is it a protective suit for a group of laborers?

Really, this is too extravagant!

But since Xiong Xiong has made a decision, she can only perform it. Fortunately, after Xiong Xiong did not let her too much expense, only let her buy raw materials, make protective clothing and enchantment, all under the command of the jellyfish god, finally reduced the cost to two sets of protective clothing for two hundred gold coins, The total price is six thousand gold coins.

Looking at this protective suit, Ferrex had previously worried that "if someone else learned our technology," there is no need to mention it. I believe that no businessman in the world will be nervous, investing such a huge sum of money, just to do a business with a negative energy essence.

The essence of energy is only a low-end magic material, not worth the cost!

"In fact, the investment is still cost-effective." Yan Xiong said with a smile, "These protective suits can be used for at least 20 years, and the magic cloth work clothes can be used for up to three years. The difference in service is actually about half. Is it not worthwhile to use this difference to exchange a group of skilled and reliable workers?"

"And you think, with this kind of strict protection, the workers will be able to stay healthy all the time. They will become the strong support for the rejuvenation of the town and even the construction of a new type of society. This is how much money can't be changed!"

Feirex smiled twice, and this is the default.

Outside the tunnel, Reif had accepted the purification and took off the heavy protective clothing. He rinsed the protective suit under the pipe that had flowed out of the water, and hanged it in the designated position.

After doing this, he came to the "rest stop" and took a cup of tea with scorched rye from a large wooden barrel that should have been filled with ale, and took a deep sip.

The lukewarm tea flows into the stomach along the throat, which makes him feel a lot more irritated, and the tiredness is eliminated a lot.

In fact, he was not very tired, but it was nothing but sultry, which gave him the illusion that "I am very tired." Now, after returning to a more comfortable environment, as the illusion disappears, he will of course recover.

In this case, he could have been working for a while. But the morning work is over, and the protective suits need time to drain the water, so he can go home safely, have lunch, take a little rest, and prepare for the afternoon work.

A excavator only needs to work eight hours a day, which is also the rule set by Yan Xiong. Of course, you can find a lot of reasons to explain, but in fact, the bottom line is the "habit".

For Yuxiong, dangerous work needs to be properly protected, and the eight-hour work system is a natural habit. There is nothing to discuss.

I only know the excavator Reif, who is working in the head, and the Phillips who presided over the revival of the whole town. They have no way to understand these habits.

Just like "endowment security", "disease and work injury protection", "holiday", "work meal", "overtime support", the world is absolutely without these concepts, all because of the habit of the male, only in the void The masked playground is promoted inside.

However, so far, it has only been promoted in the Void Mask Playground.

Even though many good gods have greatly appreciated these systems, they even want to try to emulate them, but in the end they can only persist in the playground.

Other places want to follow suit. First of all, it is impossible to have so much capital investment like the Void Mask Playground. There are not many places where you can get into the money. Secondly, even if there is so much money, you can invest and lack. A social basis that can accept these practices, knowing that every penny invested in welfare is the profit of the investor itself. Merchants are not willing to make such a large profit, and the nobles will not be willing to give the people so many benefits. Even if they are good-hearted churches, they may be able to do this internally, but if it is to be promoted, it is still impossible.

Only the cities that have been built out of thin air can use such a set of rules directly. Other than that, nowhere else, no!

Even in the town of Pyroxene, Kazuo did not directly apply the various guarantees and benefits in the playground, but decided to adopt a step-by-step approach to promote social progress little by little.

He remembers a famous saying that "communism will not fall from the sky." From another perspective, the system directly driven by the power of the gods will definitely not be the progress he wants.

Progress is a little bit more, and for the current town of Pyroxene, this level is almost enough.

Of course, this situation will not last forever. By the time the man-made veins begin to produce, or the situation of agriculture has improved, he will definitely further promote social progress, so that the living conditions of the people in Huishi Town will continue to improve, and the town will move in the direction of his ideals.

The high-rise buildings have been raised from the ground, and now it is almost only the foundation stage.
