Dominate the Treacherous Realm
Chapter 949:
"Then wait and see, I think the second task is here, and it should be over."
Jenkins and Cat and Gear Man did not wait for too long, but the pensive newspaper boy lowered his head and heard someone call his name again:
"Father?"
The boy walked into the rain to meet the hearty middle-aged bearded man. He also didn't hold an umbrella, and he didn't seem to care about such a light rain.
"Why haven't you come home yet?"
the man hugged the boy and asked.
"The newspaper hasn't sold out yet, there are more than a dozen copies left."
The boy replied in frustration. The middle-aged man patted the boy's head with his broad palm:
"This kind of **** weather, it's normal that it can't be sold. Come home with me. Your mother must have cooked hot meals and wait for us to go back. Let's go, let's go home together."
"Okay, father!"
The boy immediately jumped behind his father and walked far away along the edge of the street with him. Even when he passed Jenkins, he did not greet him again.
Jenkins and Cat and Gearman look at their backs.
"Father..."
The boy yelled cautiously as if he had remembered something.
"what's happenin?"
The middle-aged man turned his head and lowered his head to ask his elder son. The latter was a bit entangled, but he still asked the question:
"If I want to learn to drive a few months later, would you mind?"
The flawless heart-shaped gemstone condensed in the boy's heart, and then flew to Jenkins automatically.
Jenkins reached out and took it, still holding it with both hands. This transparent gemstone is slightly hot, not only warming the palm of the hand, but also warming the heart.
"It's really good."
The Gear Man praised, and Jenkins answered with a bit of contentment:
"Look, I said the second task is fine."
He paused, then suspiciously said:
"This time the deception corresponds to the last [Unknown Road], what do you want to express?"
"Nothing, I just want to see this glorious era with you."
Gearman said, its emotional color is not rich, but the next sentence can be heard with emotion:
"After the final decisive battle, you and me, there must always be a person who will sleep completely. For me, I have experienced countless times, planned a lot, and have not had time to see your world; for you, if you Dead, then this is your last chance to see this era. Walk with me in your time, draw the context of the era from the eyes of these humble little people, and feel from this scene of raining scenes The temperature of civilization, isn't it good?"
"What's so good about this? You and I are neither close friends, nor are you a lady who looks and builds in line with my aesthetics. Why should I watch this with you?"
"Because I want you to understand a truth, human civilization seems to be brilliant, but everything has rotted internally. What is the difference between the boy just now and those boys of the same age who came from nobles? It's just a different background, which leads to a completely different life He didn’t even have the opportunity to compete with talent and perseverance.
William the savior, you have a noble blood, but you should know better than me, except for a very small number of inheritors of the ancient blood like you, most of the people in this world, nobles and commoners, nobles and despicables, They are actually indistinguishable. He was born with two eyes, one nose and one mouth, but why do newsboys only go to drive a carriage? It is the artificial division of classes that distinguishes them and causes inequality in life.
Williams, do you really think that such a civilization is correct? Do you really think that all this does not need to be changed? "
If it's not that the world doesn't have those books, Jenkins even wonders if the other party has read some knowledge.
Chapter 2197 Black Humor (plus more 2/2)
"This era needs to change. I agree with this."
Jenkins nodded, and the Gear Man walked to the door of the silverware shop, easily tore off the chain at the door, and then pushed the door and walked in. Jenkins followed, and the Gear Man returned to the still old antique shop.
"Since you approve of change, why don't you approve of me? Everything in the world will be transformed into metal, re-establishing order, efficient and orderly, and absolutely correct order. After the earth of steel comes, I will even worry about being transformed. The emotional and interest issues of metal life forms are also a manifestation of my approval of the rich emotional role of human beings after I have a soul. You agree with my ideas, why are you not willing to help me?"
Gearman asked as he returned to the counter, and when he turned to face Jenkins again:
"Or, do you just want to be in charge of this order instead of building it with me?"
"This is the only way you have calculated to solve the problems of human civilization?"
Jenkins asked rhetorically.
"Of course not, there are many methods, but I think this method is the most efficient."
"Look, this is why I don't agree with you."
Jenkins handed the gemstone representing the "vigorous heart" to the other party. The Gearman also stored it in the space on his chest, but when the space was opened, the first "heart of selfless devotion" was gone.
"I also saw the problem you mentioned, but the solution I think is definitely not to add a thing that controls everything on top of humans."
The difference engine shook his head, and did not continue the debate with Jenkins:
"Then choose, we still have five goals, you will always understand, understand that what I said is correct."
"I don't think so."
Jenkins continued to look at the map while talking. The cat on its shoulder yawned uncontrollably, but it still wondered why it hadn't started fighting. If you don't fight again, you will miss dinner time when you leave the treacherous realm for a while.
Thinking of dinner, I remembered the coins that Jenkins had fed him while on the boat. Chocolate shrank his head subconsciously and decided to bear with him for a while. Before Jenkins showed his attitude towards it, he still had to be obedient and well-behaved.
"Since we went around in the city just now, let's take a look outside the city..."
There are many points that do not belong to the city. Jenkins finally pointed to the right side of the map, which is the realistic east:
"Let's go to the mine and have a look."
The brass statue next to the red dot near the eastern mine is a skinny man with no shirt and a standard squatting posture. He wore a miner's hat and no clothes on his upper body. He could see the thinness of his figure, and his lower body was trousers with trouser legs only below the knees, and more signs of wear could be seen at the trousers. As for the foot, there is a pair of cloth shoes, and the one on the right is already showing its toes.
His right hand is supporting the ground, and his left hand is holding the mine pick statue standing on the map, looking like he is standing up laboriously.
Combining the location of the mine, I don’t need to think about the profession and identity of the characters I need to face this time.
"Are you sure to choose here?"
Gear man confirmed.
"Yes, let's go."
So, the two jumped into the map in tandem. This time Jenkins is holding chocolate. Although the naughty cat is very interested in this kind of falling flight, Jenkins still feels safer.
The two cats and one cat did not directly reach the inside of the mine, and when they slowly fell from a height to the ground, it was at the entrance of a certain mine. They were standing on the side of the railroad tracks, and the ground was full of coal slag, and they were constantly hit by the rain.
One end of the track is connected to a dark mine, and carts of coal are transported out of it. After further processing, it can enter the local market and even be sold to all over the world via steam trains and ships at the docks.
Of course, these minecarts are all stagnant now, because there is still no flow of time at this moment.
"This way."
The gear man led the way, Jenkins followed it into the mine, and time began to flow as they stepped. This is the first time Jenkins has entered a mine that is still in use. The inside is not as dark as he thought. There are steam pipes and gas pipes laid along the main road of the mine, so there is actually that kind of simplicity on the inner wall of the mine. Of the gas lamp.
Mining is not about hollowing out the inside of the mountain, digging down in a huge space. The more traditional mine tunnel structure is still used here, but it is probably rich in mines, so the main mine tunnel is well excavated, and the support to prevent the mine tunnel from collapsing is also quite stable.
But after walking a few steps, he left the main road with railroad tracks. After entering the branch road and going down dozens of steps, the gas pipe did not continue to extend. There was only a kerosene lamp with a faint light in front of him. It took dozens of steps to finally see the end of the mine tunnel.
At this time, the passage is very narrow, and Jenkins must pay attention to bow his head.
The man with his upper body naked, exactly the same as the statue on the map, is leaning against the side wall of the mine to rest. Because Jenkins did not interact with him, even if Jenkins and Gearman did not hide their footsteps, the man did not look up at them at all.
This posture, if you smoke a low-quality handmade cigarette, then it will be more in line with the atmosphere. But it is not allowed to smoke in the mine. Not to mention the ventilation problem, the most important thing is the gas leak. No one wants to die in a smoke.
"Then what's the goal this time?"
Jenkins hugged the cat and asked. The mine is very dangerous. In order to prevent the chocolate from running around, Jenkins decided to temporarily deprive the chocolate of the right to act casually before leaving the mine. Chocolate welcomed this.
"The goal this time is'Never Fatigue Heart'."
"Never get tired?"
Jenkins surprised:
"I think you don't have the ability to make jokes yet, do you?"
"This is certainly not a joke. These miners have supported the foundation of this era. They earn a meager income, risk huge risks and reduce their life, and dig in the mine day and night. Except for'never fatigue 'Other than, I can't explain this behavior."
The wisdom of the differential engine will not say such stupid things. The other party is just avoiding Jenkins's problem and is unwilling to tell him the key to the third mission.
But now that the question is raised, then the "heart that never gets tired" definitely exists. This is the basic rule of the deception.
"I always feel that this third task is full of black humor."
"I don't know what black humor is."
Gearman said, and then signaled that Jenkins could start.
Chapter 2198 About Destiny
Although there are still a few hours, I officially came to this world for a whole year, but apart from not long ago, Jenkins had never had an in-depth conversation with the miners.
So unlike female teachers and newsboys, he didn't know where to start the topic this time. Not to mention, he didn't understand the "never fatigued heart" of miners at all.
"Then, ahem, hello."
So it was just a monotonous opening, and the miners curled up there to rest, as if they had just noticed Jenkins, replied:
"Hello."
His lingua franca is not very standard, his accent is very heavy, and I don’t know where he comes from. But the miner was not surprised at the stranger who suddenly appeared in the mine who was dressed appropriately and even hugged a cat. He just wanted to take a good rest now.
"How is work?"
Jenkins asked again, and he could feel the awkwardness of the conversation.
"as usual."
So he was chatted to death. Jenkins wanted to ask "what is it like before", but he didn't want to continue the dry chat.
"Look, you pretend to know the world, but you don't even know the life of an ordinary person."
The gear man standing by sneered, but Jenkins ignored it.
"Speaking of which, you are at such a shallow level, can you still dig something?"
The distance from the mine entrance to here is very close, and the main road obviously extends to a deeper position, so Jenkins is puzzled.
The miner shook his head, not wanting to speak. Jenkins noticed that besides the mining pick, he also had a metal bottle containing water and a half-open iron lunch box with one-third of the contents left. It seemed to be some bread crumbs, miner. Probably spent several hours underground.
"I noticed that there seems to be an open-pit mine near here?"
I saw this when I landed just now.
"Yes, there is a real rich ore, almost digging towards the ground will have something."
"Then is it possible for you to go there? Although it is all mining, the ground is always safer and less labor-saving than the underground, right?"
Jenkins said again.
"There is a lot of money underground, but less money on the ground."
He did not deny Jenkins's conclusion, but he also has his own ideas.
"Yes, underground is more tiring and dangerous, so the money is naturally more...Then, is the money you earn enough to support yourself?"
"It's okay."
The miner has returned to a state of being silent.
"Will you feel tired?"
Jenkins himself felt this was nonsense, of course the miner didn't bother to talk, just glanced at him.
This is a silly question.
Jenkins knows and can imagine the life of a noble girl’s tutor and a newspaper boy, so he can smoothly talk to the first two mission goals. But for the bottom miners, he really didn't understand.
This is not a battle-type horror. Even if Jenkins can fight the ancient Balrog, he still has some headaches in front of him.
Among the remaining abilities, only [Sympathy of Living Beings] may be useful to the status quo, but Jenkins extremely doubts the inner thoughts of the miners, only "tired", "hungry", "thirsty" and "strangers do not disturb me to rest". Kind of feeling.
Fortunately, although people’s sorrows and joys are often not connected, at least people’s basic needs are the same. Jenkins decided to change direction and not talk about work for the time being:
"Is anyone else in the family?"
"Yes, wife, son. There was originally a daughter who died in spring."
