Data Wasteland

Dr2617-1-4, pm9:15

It is in the deep winter, the clouds above the central wilderness are thin, and the stars and rivers on the sky are turning, as if they are dotted with bright diamonds.

The endless wasteland is paved with a layer of silver sand, which merges with the sky, which is less desolate and more romantic.

However, this quiet and peaceful beauty did not last long, and was quickly interrupted by the three red dots lit in the sky.

"Flick..."

The noise of the large propellers ranged from far to near, and the silhouette of the floating boat appeared in the night sky.

Looking down from a high altitude, there is a seven-color flower in full bloom in the wasteland covered with silver sand.

Brightly lit and colorful, it is the blissful capital of the central wilderness—New Edo.

Tall and colorful neon signs stand among them. Under the signboard, light boxes of different sizes are densely packed like stars, colorful and beautiful.

This is a world of lights, like the legendary Fengdu, Hyakki Ye walks, and lanterns swaying.

At this time, a week has passed since the Harvest Festival, and people are gradually returning to their normal lives, the work that should be done, the school that should go to school, and the adventure that should be taken.

In a two-story building in the middle of the city, a few women in pajamas with towels on their heads are walking quickly on the common corridor with a tub for bathing.

Close to the inner side of the corridor are wooden doors, and faint lights are shining from the windows next to them.

This is a low-rise apartment specially for rent. It is all small single rooms, rectangular, and less than ten square meters including the kitchen, toilet and bathroom. Because the sound insulation effect is very poor, although the women walk fast, their steps are very light.

"Mami, you have to go to work tonight, so let's use the dresser first."

"Thank you Xiangzi."

The young woman in her early twenties put down the tub and soap used in the big bathhouse, dried her hair with a towel, put it in the basin, walked quickly to the dressing table and sat down, began to comb her hair and put on makeup.

Her name is Asami Oda, and she is an Yingren who works in Shin-edo.

She has been here for three years, and her hometown is a small mountain village in Qingguo to the west. The Ying people are a member of the yellow race, and their birthplace is in Xiaodongzhou, which is the present-day Black Death Continent.

The cataclysm started from Xiaodongzhou, and the entrance of the undercurrent of time and space was there. The Ying people who have lost their homes are scattered all over the world, mainly engaged in manufacturing, handicrafts, agriculture and entertainment.

Yingren has a very excellent craftsman spirit and meticulous in manufacturing things. The famous Sanxiang Heavy Industry is a multinational group company created by Yingren.

Three-phase Heavy Industry and Hongtu Heavy Industry, as well as the black watch manufacturer Sifeis, are also known as the world's three largest group companies. Regardless of scale and technology, it is a level better than the second-class manufacturers such as Hongguo Longhe Industry, Qingguo Chongshan Industry, Westwood Industry of the Western Mainland, and Great Wall Company of the Eastern Mainland.

Three-phase heavy industry respects minimalism, is easy to use, and has reliable performance. It is well-known for its high precision and low failure rate.

Among them, the sniper rifles of the Night Owl, Eagle Fury, and Skyfury series, and the advanced mechas of the Valkyrie and Burning Sparrow series are particularly outstanding.

Compared with Hongtu Heavy Industry, which is full of free and unrestrained blood in the Western Continent, Sanxiang Heavy Industry is more cautious and precise. It is meticulous and striving for perfection, but it is also accompanied by problems such as lack of innovation and over-preservation.

In addition, Yingren has a very exquisite style of life. Even if they live in a small house less than ten square meters, they must separate the toilet from the bathroom and spend an hour in a bubble bath every day. Therefore, Yingren’s entertainment industry is very developed and attracts a large number of tourists.

Moreover, compared with other ethnic groups, the women of the Ying people are also very open. The wandering profession will not be discriminated against too much, and it is even commonplace, which will not affect future marriages and children.

After spending half an hour putting on makeup, Asami Oda quickly changed into a work shirt and skirt, put on a silk scarf and high heels, and walked out of the room ably.

"Xiangzi, I'm leaving." Before leaving, she greeted the roommate inside. In order to save money, she and her friend shared this small room less than ten square meters.

"Be careful on the road." "Yeah~"

Oda Mami closed the door gently, then walked lightly and quickly through more than a dozen doors, down the stairs, and walked quickly in the narrow streets.

Compared to other women renting here, she has a well-paid job as a full-time waiter in the Shin-Edo branch of the Boundary Club.

The income of this job is stable. There are thirty-five gold coins a month, which is higher than the salary of the average garrison team member, and this is not even the consumption of rewards when the guests are in a good mood. The guests here are all big shots, and they are generous. As long as they are pleased, it is not impossible to get rich overnight. If the guests like her, they can also earn some extra tips.

There are also weekends. In this world, work on weekends is rare. In addition to being able to sleep in and keep the skin healthy and shiny, you can also occasionally go out to relax and soothe your mood.

But relatively, the requirements of this job are almost harsh.

The first is the requirements for personal image, regardless of men and women, don’t need people who are not tall enough, not beautiful enough, or smart enough.

Don't be explicit, don't be out of shape, don't have a bad temperament.

Then there are the requirements for health and age, no matter whether they are men or women, they should not be too old or too young, those with chronic diseases, and those with body odor.

Then there are the requirements for work. If the above conditions are almost harsh, then the following can be said to be rude.

1. Must unconditionally meet any customer's requirements, unless it involves life-threatening, or have no right to refuse.

2. If customers are unhappy due to personal work mistakes or misconduct and cannot be forgiven by them, they shall be dismissed immediately and never hired.

3. Regard customers as the supreme gods at all times, maintain a worshipful gaze, and make every effort to cater to customers' preferences.

In fact, the rudeness is mainly the first point, and the second and third points are not difficult. These customers are big people, either the sanctuary powerhouse or the powerful, and the power exuding from them is enough to make them, the waiters, walk on thin ice with sincerity.

A few minutes later, she walked out of the dimly lit small street into the bustling street with dense light boxes and full of brilliance. After waiting for a few minutes at the station, a tram slowly approached and stopped in front of her.

With a sneer, the car door opened. She got on the tram, tapped the reader with a black watch, and after spending half a copper plate, she found an empty seat and sat down.

There are not many passengers on the bus, all of them are office workers wearing professional clothing. Shin-Edo is a place to spend money, and most tourists will choose taxis or more comfortable tour buses.

The neon lights outside the window are constantly changing colors, and the signs written in three languages ​​are like watching flowers on a horse. Yingren’s writing has long since withdrawn from the stage of history, mainly in Eastern and Western mainland languages, but Yingren still stubbornly writes in his own earthworm-distorted text, even though many Yingren can’t understand it anymore.

"The front station is Wenquanshan Station. Passengers who need to get off please prepare their luggage..."

After more than ten minutes, the tram came to a halt slowly. When Oda Mami got out of the car, she saw the huge gatehouse at the entrance of Hot Spring Mountain at first glance.

It is more than 20 meters high, but there is no majestic aloofness. The whole body is round and soft. The light box on the top is like a bouncy castle. It says "Beautiful Hot Spring Village in the Wasteland-Dr2399" in three languages.

This hot spring mountain can be said to be one of the greatest projects in human history.

Originally, the central wilderness had no geothermal resources, and even groundwater was very scarce. However, in order to reproduce their hot spring culture, the Yingren took more than 30 years to build an underground water pipe to introduce hot spring water from the Hongyan Volcanic Mountains thousands of miles away. , And build water stations along the way to heat and pressurize, and deliver the original hot spring water to New Edo.

Fortunately, there is no shortage of fuel in the clay world. Without counting the unknown part of the world's debris, the known crude oil reserves have been exploited for hundreds of thousands of years, so such extravagant and wasteful actions have not been opposed by the Human Survival Committee.

Then, the Yingren cut large pieces from the five major mountain ranges of the red soil continent, the Nolan Snow Mountain in the northeast, the Dragon Mountain in the northwest, the Ruijiaers Mountain in the southwest, the Red Rock Volcano in the middle, and the Grass Hill in the southeast. The rocks were transported to Shin-Edo, and the hot spring mountains were piled up.

The vastness of the project is unimaginable.

After a while, Asami Oda took the cable car used by the staff to a mountain. The stones here are gray-black, with white rain-like textures on them.

This is the ice and rain stone from Norlan Snow Mountain in Hongguo. It is the largest, hardest and most beautiful mountain stone in quality.

The red country is blessed by nature, sitting on two major mountain ranges, the Dragon Mountains and the Nolan Snow Mountains, and owns the land of the Ambergris River basin, the most abundant, open and flat in the world. It is known as the "darling of the gods".

Although Qingguo has sacred mountains and fallen galaxy, it has too many mountains and sparse flat land, which is not suitable for large-scale farming and grazing. Although the sand country sits on a vast continent and has the largest land area in the world, it is arid and rainless. There are nearly a hundred small deserts, which are also not suitable for large-scale farming and grazing.

Therefore, since ancient times, the combined population of the Qing and Saudi countries has not been more than half that of the red countries. Therefore, most of the wars have consisted of the Qing and Saudi countries uniting against the red country.

As for the Eastern and Western Continent, although the land is level and fertile, there are many countries, all of which belong to the medium-sized countries. There is no superpower such as the three kingdoms of the Red Earth Continent.

Oda Mami walked along the stone stairs in the mountains and came to a stone gate carved into the mountain. After showing the work cards to the two big men in black at the door, they walked in.

The entrance of the Critical Club is very low-key, and at first glance it looks like a cave of a primitive tribe.

But after walking in, it suddenly became clear. The hall is covered with warm yellow terrazzo, as smooth as a mirror, reflecting the beautiful figure of Asami Oda.

"Senior Mami, you are so punctual every time, and you will be there in five minutes."

The young and beautiful waitress at the front desk greeted Mami, then stretched her waist and said, "I'm strained all day long and I'm exhausted. I'm going to go back to bed soon."

"Yumi, you have to learn to relax. The more nervous you are when facing customers, the easier it is to make mistakes." The young and handsome waiter said seriously.

"You don't have a backache while standing and talking. Male customers are much more difficult to deal with than female customers." Female

The waiter said listlessly.

"Yumi, you can't use the word'to deal with' to guests. This kind of thinking is very dangerous. If you accidentally miss it." Asami Oda said with a serious expression, and then approached the other party and lowered her voice. There was a new waiter who accidentally poured juice on the customer in May. Do you know her fate?"

"Dismissed on the spot?" the waitress named "Yumi" asked.

"Oh my God, Kamikayumi, how naive you are to believe the terms of the contract they said." Asami Oda said, touching her forehead, and the male waiter next to her also gave a mocking smile.

"She, what happened to her?" Kamikayumi showed a scared expression.

"The manager asked her to have a caesarean section to apologize." Asami Oda said. The look is calm, as if it has long been commonplace.

"Ah!" Kamikayumi covered her mouth, "She, why doesn't she refuse, or is she, or is she calling the police?"

"Haha, do you think the law is useful here?" Oda Mami's expression became colder and colder, "Thirty hardware coins a month, plus a tip of more than 100, work outside for a year and here for a month, do you think this money is casual Can you earn?"

"So, how about her?" Kamikayumi's eyes widened, her voice trembling.

"I'm not dead, but I'm going to lie down in the hospital for two months." Asami Oda said casually.

Kamika Yumi turned pale with fright and was speechless for a long while. She is a newcomer who only joined the job after the harvest festival. She hasn't enough knowledge of the cruel unspoken rules.

"There is a saying in our hometown, we can ask for wealth and wealth." The handsome waiter smiled and patted Kayumi on the shoulder. "The last time a guest was happy, he rewarded Kanagawa Nako from the spa with two thousand gold coins. She immediately sent money home to buy a house."

"Oh my god, what did Kamikawa-senpai do?" Kamikayumi asked, curiosity overshadowing fear in an instant.

"Kamikawa said when the opponent won the game, it's great, so amazing!" The handsome waiter clenched two fists and made a cheering look. The appearance of the pretending to be beautiful, you see goose bumps all over your body.

"It's just like this?" Kamikayumi asked in surprise. According to the general situation, didn't the guests like Kamikawa's beauty?

"Yes, it's just that." The handsome waiter said, tilting his neck, "You don't want to think about what kind of characters are these? Two thousand gold coins are the same as our two copper plates to them."

"Okay, let's not talk about it, the time is coming, hurry up to hand over, otherwise you will be in trouble." Oda Mami glanced at the clock, and the handover time was only two minutes away, so she couldn't delay.

"Yes~"

The two were shifting, and a young man walked in outside, about twenty-four to five, wearing a black combat uniform. Asami Oda immediately put down the handover on hand and walked out of the front desk to greet the guests.

"Dear sir, hello, what can I do for you?" Asami Oda bowed ninety degrees.

"This is a critical club?" the young man asked, looking around.

"Yes, dear sir, this is the new Edo branch of the critical club." Asami Oda said respectfully.

"It seems to be the right one," the young man said to himself. "The doorway is like a cave. I thought I went wrong."

After pondering for a while, Oda Asami asked, "Dear sir, is this your first time here?"

"Yeah." The young man nodded, "I want to join your club."

"So, dear sir, our club needs to meet certain conditions to join. Would you mind if I perform an identity scan on you?"

After explaining the situation in detail and consulting the other party's opinion, Oda Asami picked up a special identity scanner from the front desk and swept it at the other party.

[Name: Chen Erliu]

[Title: Baron] [Title: Guardian of the Great Wilderness, Envoy of the Spirit Sea]

[Power: 65]

[Agility: 83]

[Physique: 38]

[Spirit power: 75]

...

"Ah, sir, you..."

Seeing the other party's information, Oda Asami was a little cramped and nervous. Because from the data, the other party is neither a powerful person nor a sanctuary powerhouse, and does not meet the requirements for membership, but the half-year experience of working at the border tells her not to underestimate anyone who comes here, so she does not know how to answer. To be polite.

Seeing Oda Asami's expression, Kamikayumi came over curiously. When she saw the information on the screen, she immediately became a little disdainful and raised her chin at the young man, "You do not meet the requirements for membership, please go back."

She has an arrogant look and a very rude attitude, even a little arrogant.

The person's eyes narrowed and his cold light was revealed, "Strength is not based on black table data."
