Chapter 8: Garbage Station
After Lu Yuelan figured out what to do with the box, she released the handbrake, started the car and drove towards the other end of the road. However, things didn't keep going as she just passed the traffic light when she noticed a black and white building on the one-way road.
Lu Yuelan was very nervous, fearing that something unexpected might happen.
[Beep, a garbage station appears ahead. This station is an official facility. Non-professionals cannot enter for free, and those with relevant professions cannot stay for more than 30 minutes.]
Hearing the sudden announcement from the system, Lu Yuelan immediately changed her mind and drove towards the garbage station.
The description of a scrap recycler is too general, unlike a childcare teacher, whose job tasks are clearly stated and who also has a salary.
There is no salary introduction for waste recyclers, nor are there any tasks posted. It is like there is just an additional career introduction panel, which has the same functions as other ones.
Now that she encountered a garbage station, a station related to waste recyclers, Lu Yuelan wanted to go and take a look at the situation. She didn't want to waste her professional ability.
The nanny's money had been used to buy supplies for the little one, and Lu Yuelan was penniless. She hoped that the waste recycler would be helpful and make her rich.
Ahem, that's an exaggeration. It would be enough if I could make a small fortune to buy two parallel cards. The hope of getting rich quickly is too low. We should not be too greedy.
[Ding, player Lu Yuelan has been detected as a waste recycler. She can enter the garbage station for free. Would you like to enter immediately?]
"yes."
[Okay, welcome player Lu Yuelan to the garbage station. The time limit is 30 minutes. Please pay attention to the time limit. You will be responsible for the consequences if you exceed the time limit.]
[It has been detected that the player Lu Yuelan is in the novice stage, and the novice benefit free use countdown reminder service has been activated. I wish the player Lu Yuelan a happy game. ]
After the system announcement ended, a thirty-minute countdown appeared in the upper right corner of Lu Yuelan's phone. After confirming that there was no other situation around, she drove into the open black gate. What came into view was a pile of garbage the size of a small hill.
There are all kinds of things in the garbage dump, including cars, vegetables, electrical appliances, etc., but they look tattered, otherwise people would think they are items displayed in a free market.
Lu Yuelan wanted to see more clearly, but her attention was drawn away by a stern male voice.
"Hey, the new waste collector, please drive your car to the parking lot. No vehicles are allowed in the garbage dump."
Lu Yuelan looked in the direction of the sound and found a big monkey-faced man with pointed ears and monkey cheeks. She exclaimed in her heart, "Sun Wukong, my Great Sage Equaling Heaven, a big monkey that looks like a human, so magical, is this an alien creature?"
"Excuse me, Brother Monkey, this is my first time working here and I don't know the rules here. Can you guys park over there? Is that more convenient?"
No matter how rich Lu Yuelan's thoughts were, it did not prevent her from greeting the big monkey brother with a smile.
She has the most say on this kind of person who seems like a strict head teacher. She has successfully won over the head teacher in the school before. She doesn't believe that the big monkey brother in front of her is so cold-blooded and ruthless that he would be willing to reject a well-behaved, sensible and studious little girl.
"Hmph, you don't even know what your job entails when you come to work. You're really causing trouble for me. Here, go over there. There's parking for vehicles not in the garbage dump. Remember, you can only stay here for 30 minutes. If you exceed the time limit, your car will be impounded and you will be fined. It's not so bad if you don't have a car, you can still get around on your own. But if you don't have money, it's a big deal. You'll have to stay here and work for nothing for the rest of your life. The garbage dump won't care about you that much. You can't do it without money."
Even though Big Brother Monkey looks difficult to get along with, everything he says is full of good intentions.
Lu Yuelan was a newbie who knew nothing when she first entered the company. If she hadn't met a strict and kind monkey brother who was good at teaching, she would have died there without even knowing how she died.
It's much better than those who smile on the outside but have vicious hearts.
"Okay, Brother Monkey, I'm sorry to bother you. Come and eat something to replenish your energy."
Lu Yuelan opened the car window and handed the banana that she had planned to eat for dinner in the morning to Monkey Brother. Monkey Brother waved his hand to refuse.
"No……"
"Don't be so hasty to refuse. I'll need to trouble Brother Monkey to help guide a rookie like me later. This is my tuition. If Brother Monkey doesn't accept it, does it mean that he thinks I'm too stupid and doesn't want to teach me?"
Before Big Monkey could finish his refusal, Lu Yuelan showed a pitiful little expression, which made Big Monkey at a loss.
As the saying goes, don't hit a smiling person. The little girl has such a good attitude, it's not good for it to continue to take advantage of the fact that she is new and ignorant and try to trip her up by violating the rules.
Forget it, everyone makes mistakes sometimes, so give the other person a chance to mend their ways.
Brother Monkey convinced himself, took the banana from Lu Yuelan's hand, and instructed her where to park. While walking, he also talked about what was happening here.
"Go park your car first. I'll teach you how to pick out the things you need from the garbage dump later. There's really nothing much to teach you. Just be able to read."
"Yeah~ Thank you, Brother Monkey, I can read."
Because of her nursery teacher certificate, Lu Yuelan not only became a cub keeper, but also had all the languages of the entire galaxy directly instilled into her head.
After all, every cub is not from the same race. It is not natural that newborn cubs can only speak the language of their own race. They are not grown-up children. Grown-up children go to elementary school and have nothing to do with nannies. They fall within the scope of elementary school teachers, which is a bit beyond the standard.
In order to facilitate or fix game bugs and avoid the problem of novice nursery teachers not knowing the language of the cubs, Lu Yuelan has the language versions of all the cubs in her mind, which can be spoken and written. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is an encyclopedia of interstellar languages.
Otherwise, she would have a headache facing the questions from Monkey Brother.
It's easy to not know other things, but it's difficult to not be fluent in language and writing. Trying to be a teacher will only bring trouble to yourself.
"That's easy. Look at the free area over there. You can pick out what you need within 30 minutes and take it away without spending any money."
It's good enough that he can read. It doesn't take up too much of his time. He has other work to do and can't spend all his time here.
Just look at the girl's tattered first-class school bus and you'll know that she's not well-off. Adhering to the principle of doing what's best for the child, Brother Monkey recommended to Lu Yuelan a pile of free material things.
Besides, the child can read, so there is no problem in picking out usable things from the box to supplement the household expenses.
"Then... where can I get the money? I... want some good things, but..."
Lu Yuelan held her breath and forced her face to turn red, creating a shy expression of being short of money but wanting something good, which aroused the sympathy of Monkey Brother.
"There's a sign above each garbage dump listing the purchase price. Generally, as long as you don't go into the rooms, and the recyclers who come to the dump to dig out items get discounts, it doesn't cost much. With a little effort and concentration, these supplies outside can replenish your meager belongings."
