Embers Ad Infinitum

Long Yue's red lips pursed for a while, and she laughed like self-deprecating:

"I don't think he is the chosen one, but the one of bad luck."

He spoke in a low voice and did not repeat himself. Jiang Baimian tilted his head slightly and discerned carefully, but he still couldn't hear what he was saying clearly.

But Jiang Baimian didn't make Long Yuehong speak up, and laughed to himself:

"We will do a variety of training next, including but not limited to shooting, fighting, survival in the wild, exoskeleton devices and bionic smart armor operations.

"Whoever does not perform well and fails to meet the requirements, I will kick him out of the old tune group and ask him to change jobs."

Long Yuehong's eyes lit up, and her frustration suddenly dissipated.

"But." Jiang Baimian deliberately didn't look at him, and turned his attention to Shang Jianyao, "Whoever deliberately slows down during training and doesn't try his best, then I will write this in his file." You should be very clear about the consequences of this matter."

Once the company's employees' files are stained, the next job they are assigned will definitely not be very good, and if they accumulate three stains, they will be banished to the dust.

Shang Jianyao also didn't look at the change of Long Yuehong's expression, and said seriously:

"If you can't even pass the training, how can you save the world?"

Bai Chen, who was sitting on the couch, couldn't help but look at the young man again, wondering if he had some mental problems.

Although Shang saw that Yao's appearance was in line with her aesthetics, she still thought about reminding Jiang Baimian:

"Team leader, after all the training courses are over, it is best to do an in-depth evaluation of the physical and psychological state. On the dusty soil, human beings are prone to collapse due to various reasons and have mental abnormalities, which will bring great harm. Trouble, hidden dangers must be eliminated in advance.”

"Good suggestion." Jiang Baimian snapped his fingers, "The only question is, can you speak louder? I almost didn't hear clearly."

"Yes, team leader!" Bai Chen replied loudly with that hoarse voice.

Jiang Baimian nodded in satisfaction, and continued:

"In short, if you can complete all the training subjects, after my inspection, the survival rate in the subsequent tasks is still very high, and if the ability does not meet the requirements, I will not let him stay in the old tune group. The danger he can't face, for the company, every piece of labor is precious enough, and he won't abandon you easily before squeezing all your value."

"Uh..." Long Yuehong breathed a sigh of relief, she was no longer so panicked and frustrated.

He wanted to respond, but felt that the group leader's last words were weird, which made his heart hurt a little bit.

Bai Chen frowned slightly, wondering if the team leader, like Shang Jianyao, had a problem with his mind:

How can such a big truth be said so bluntly?

Clap clap! Shang Jianyao applauded warmly:

"well said!"

Jiang Baimian's smile stagnated slightly, and he said instead:

"Shang Jianyao, I think your performance is a bit different from ordinary people, is it not suitable to join the old tune group?"

"Isn't this great? When everyone is depressed, negative, and desperate, there is still a person who keeps smiling, is full of enthusiasm, and entertains everyone with various behaviors." Shang Jianyao smiled.

Jiang Baimian was slightly surprised:

"What you said is quite normal."

"I've always been normal." Shang Jian Yao responded with a straight posture.

Jiang Baimian gave a "hmm" and suddenly laughed:

"So, how can you entertain everyone?"

Shang Jian Yao thought for a while and said:

“Gold Coast Swing Hula.”

"...Looking forward." Jiang Baimian said perfunctorily, "By the way, where did you learn it?"

"At the year-end performance organized by the entertainment department." Shang Jianyao replied frankly.

"Ah, I didn't watch it!" Jiang Baimian clapped his hands lightly and said.

Listening to the conversation between the two, Bai Chen's heart became more and more shaken.

She began to think that joining the group might have been a mistake.

Looking over, she saw that the expression on Long Yuehong's face was also confused and suspicious.

Except for me, the most normal person in this group is this stupid and cowardly guy? Bai Chen pulled her scarf, as if she wanted to cover her entire face.

After chatting about what programs were in last year's year-end performances, Jiang Baimian turned his wrist and glanced at the black electronic watch in his hand:

"It's a bit late, there will be training later, so I'll make a long story short."

Seeing Shang Jianyao, Long Yuehong and Bai Chen all looking at the watch on their wrist, Jiang Baimian waved his hand and said:

"I bought this from a wanderer in the wilderness with two cans of soybean-roasted beef. An electronics engineer fixed it for me.

"Hehe, don't be envious. You also have opportunities. As long as you leave the company and enter the dust, you will have a lot of opportunities to pick up garbage, right, Bai Chen? I remember you were a garbage hunter back then?"

Team leader, don't use such ugly words... Bai Chen opened his mouth and sighed slightly:

"The Relic Hunter.

"Actually, I'm not a real relic hunter. I seldom go to the ruins of cities deep in the wilderness. Those places are too dangerous. I just pick up the scattered things in the wilderness..."

Speaking of this, the petite girl paused for two seconds, as if she was looking for a good adjective, but in the end, she gritted her teeth and said:

"Rubbish!

"Also, I will go to the ruins of the cities that have ruled out most of the dangers and are relatively close, looking for things that the hunters don't look at or haven't found, and then drive to various settlements in the wilderness to meet them. exchange supplies."

Both Shang Jianyao and Long Yuehong nodded, expressing that they could understand.

The basic textbooks they studied focused on the general situation of Huitu, and a section devoted to the profession of "relic hunter".

This is a profession that gradually emerged after the destruction of the old world—a profession that seeks out the ruins of cities in the old world and obtains items, books, technical materials, corresponding documents and various resources for a living.

The composition of the relic hunters is very complex, including antiquities scholars, historical researchers, scientific researchers, and investigators of great powers, but most of them are people who search for and sell relics for a living, and a large part of them are "Part-time" working as a wilderness bandit.

After years of chaos, in order to exchange information and supplies, and to prove each other's credit, the relic hunters established a loose organization called "Hunter's Guild" under the initiative of some strong people.

After hearing this, Jiang Baimian praised:

"It's loud enough this time."

She then laughed and said:

"Actually, there are also newly produced electronic watches, but the number is very small, and you can basically only see them in the 'First City'.

"Ah, I don't know when I will have the opportunity to go to the 'Original City'."

The original city is not only the name of a city, but also the name of a great power. The former is said to be the first city built by humans on the basis of a certain ruin after the destruction of the old world. The most populous and most influential force.

Hearing the name "Original City", Bai Chen's expression suddenly became gloomy, as if recalling some unbearable past events.

She didn't interrupt Jiang Baimian, but shrank her body towards the armrest of the couch.

Pa, Jiang Baimian patted himself on the forehead:

"Oh, I made a long story short just now, but ended up talking a lot more.

"The following is the key point, the treatment issue!

"Shang Jianyao, Long Yuehong, you are assigned D1 level, the same as other positions, 1800 points per month. But, we have meal subsidies.

"Meal compensation is like this: rest four days a month, and the rest is training days. On training days, we have breakfast, lunch and dinner in the small cafeteria next to us. There are two special meat dishes per day, totaling half a catty. Each serving only needs one contribution point. You can choose to finish it in one meal, or split it into two meals.

"On rest days, 25 extra contribution points will be issued every day, which is equivalent to half a catty of raw pork, and a total of 100 extra contribution points will be issued.

"That is to say, the training phase, uh, excluding field training, is 1900 points per month.

"When you leave the company to train on the dusty soil, you will not only receive free supplies every day, but also receive an additional 30 field allowances. If you are injured, you will be reimbursed for all treatment costs. If you become disabled, the company will provide free biological prosthetics."

Having said that, Jiang Baimian glanced at Long Yuehong:

"If he dies, there must be a pension, and the standard is 80 months' salary.

"In short, below the D7 level, the treatment of our team is better than any position of the same level.

"After you have completed all the training courses and passed the assessment, you can immediately be promoted to D2 level. It may take one year, two years, or even longer for other positions."

Long Yuehong's heart sank at first, and then she became a little happy. After all, her job sounds like a bright future.

If he can survive the previous few operations of the old transfer team, he might be promoted to D6 level, and then he can report and be transferred from this post.

At that time, among his peers, he was probably the one with the highest level and the highest income. As long as he didn't go to the place where the managers lived, he could hold his head high no matter where he went.

"As for you." Jiang Baimian looked at Bai Chen, "Because you are not an official employee yet, the current salary will remain the same, but you will also have meal allowances and field subsidies. When the training courses are all over and you pass the assessment, you will become an official employee .”

Bai Chen's expression had already softened, and she nodded slightly to show that she understood.

Jiang Baimian moved the five fingers of his left hand:

"The training this morning is to recognize the gun, disassemble it, and load it."

"Haven't you learned this before?" Long Yuehong blurted out.

This is part of basic education.

——In college, there are also compulsory courses such as fighting and shooting.

Jiang Baimian smiled and said:

"You have only learned the company's standard weapons.

"Next, I will, no, Bai Chen will introduce you to various weapons produced by different forces, from different wildernesses and different ruins.

"You have to know that when we go out to operate, it is easy to fall into the situation of losing weapons or not being able to get effective supplies. At that time, we have to repair the gun we pick up, and we have to repair it for the bullet we pick up. Knowing how to use the corresponding weapons and mastering a little bit more ability in this area will give you more hope of surviving." (Note 1)

"Okay." She clapped her hands, "Go to the dressing room next to the small bathhouse to change into the uniform, and then go to room 15."

She immediately pointed to the several sets of clothes on the coffee table.

Note 1: The caliber of the bullet will be mainly discussed later, without mentioning parameters such as double diameter, otherwise it will appear too complicated and not friendly enough. Anyway, it should be considered...
