Chapter 106: Incomprehensible Operations
In this way, the occupational census sparked a discussion in Xuantian City, and everyone was guessing what the city lord wanted to do by doing this.
The members of Lin Zuo's team also joked, "Does this city lord think that we can restore the society before the apocalypse?"
What can you do with your previous job now? You can just be a chef and cook. If you don’t learn the skills of a chef, the food you make will at most taste better than if you don’t have any cooking skills.
"Exactly. Wasn't Hong Ze from our team a lawyer before? What can a lawyer do now? Lie in a dream?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone else started laughing. Now the whole society was disrupted, the classes had been rearranged, and the current temporary stability was entirely due to their self-discipline and cognition from living in a peaceful society for a long time.
Lin Zuo felt that it was not that simple. Although the city lord had always been low-key in her work, she was not bragging. Many of the things she did were beneficial to the people.
Whether it was purchasing food in the beginning to give residents money, or later promoting the breeding of colorful spiders among ordinary residents, it was all done with the vast majority of people in mind.
He relaxed physically and mentally, half lying on the sofa, closing his eyes and saying, "Not necessarily. Just fill it out according to the truth. Knowing your previous occupation won't do anything to you."
After hearing what the captain said, the other teammates quickly filled out the form. They didn't believe that the city lord could threaten the residents after knowing their previous occupations.
"If the city lord hadn't mentioned it, I wouldn't even know what your previous occupations were."
Sitting next to Lin Zuo was a man with dyed silver hair. He looked like the kind of pretty boy that many girls like. Beneath his sharp eyebrows were a pair of slender eyes, just like Lin Zuo's appearance. He put his legs on the coffee table and said nonchalantly, "I don't have any job, I just hang out in bars all the time."
It's obvious that he's a man with a story. He doesn't work and often goes to bars. He's also good-looking, which makes people imagine a lot.
"Wow, you can see a lot of beautiful girls there every day, right?" An ordinary-looking boy in the team said as he sat down next to him and winked at him.
The silver-haired man slapped him on the face and pushed him away, saying impatiently, "Don't get so close to me."
The boy didn't get angry and sat next to her obediently.
The silver-haired man raised his hand and scratched his hair. The other teammates could clearly see that his arm was covered with a strange yet harmonious tattoo that covered his entire right arm.
"My family has money, so I can have fun however I want." He replied casually.
"It turns out that Brother Dou was a rich second-generation." A teammate said meaningfully.
So what if he is a rich second generation? He is still the same as them and has to go out and clear the fields every day.
Dou Rongfan narrowed his eyes at the team member who had replied and said nonchalantly, "I prefer the current environment. I have power I didn't have before, and I can kill as much as I want. It's much more exciting and interesting than before."
The team member was startled by his words, then looked at Dou Rongfan's eyes and immediately lowered his head, "Yes, yes, no matter what, Brother Dou, you and the captain can get along."
However, the ordinary-looking team member didn't seem to sense Dou Rongfan's murderous intent and asked, "Brother Dou, neither you nor the captain are from Yangshan City?"
Otherwise, if the family is rich, how could there be only three brothers, Dou Rongfan and Lin Zuo, and no other family members.
At this time, Lin Zuo, who had his eyes closed, spoke up, "I just came here to play, but I didn't expect to encounter something like this."
He didn't say where he was from, and the other team members didn't dare to ask him further. They knew he must be from a big city.
Seeing that the team members were sensible and didn't ask any more questions, he continued, "Okay, everyone, go back to your work. I need to get some sleep."
In an instant, the team members who were hiding in his room left in an orderly manner. The captain was not a good-tempered person.
Only Dou Rongfan did not move. The two of them were close friends with many years of friendship, so naturally they were not comparable to the other team members.
Dou Rongfan: "What do you think the city lord wants to do?"
Lin Zuo: "Who cares? The city lord won't do anything bad anyway."
Dou Rongfan seemed to have heard something very interesting. "Let's put everything else aside. Lin Zuo, there's something about you that I find quite strange. You actually spent 5,000 contribution points to become a formal resident here. Don't you plan on returning to Yanjing?"
He and Lin Zuo came here from the capital Yanjing. Since the world changed, they have not been able to contact their families in Yanjing. Even if they know someone's name and try to send an email to them, it shows that the delivery failed.
"Do you dare to go back? Even if you have a bicycle, the distance is too far. Besides, I think Xuantian City is very interesting. There's nothing wrong with settling here for a long time."
The location of Yanjing is not missing on the map, but the distance is only visible from it. So far, they have been wandering around Jinjiang District most of the time.
Just like the last time they were looking for relatives, they went to a nearby area. This was the farthest distance they had run so far, and they often encountered wild monsters on the way.
Dou Rongfan seemed to have lost all interest and casually lay on the sofa. "That's true. It's meaningless even if I go back."

Lu Jiu's eyes hurt after reading emails these days, so she simply forwarded all the reply emails to Shen Jufeng with one click, letting him sort them out while she did other things.
Last time she asked Old Man Zeng to make ham, he just happened to tell her that she could pick it up.
After knocking on the door, Old Man Zeng opened it quickly. The tables in the living room were piled with the food they ordered, including ham and stuffed sausages. She had good eyesight now and could clearly see that there were some braised goods as well.
"Luckily, it's easy to make these now. In the past, a good ham would have to be hung for at least a year or two, but now it only needs to be hung at home for a few weeks. I tried the one I made, and it tasted just right. If I store it, it will be enough for you to eat for a long time."
As Old Man Zeng was speaking, Tang Yi came out of the kitchen carrying a plate filled with thinly sliced ham.
"Sister Nine, please try it." He held the plate in front of Lu Jiu.
Lu Jiu picked up a piece of ham between her thumb and index finger. The slice was very thin and translucent, so this kind of ham could be eaten directly. She put it into her mouth, and the rich aroma of the ham filled her entire mouth.
This kind of ham is suitable for tasting in small amounts. Adding a little when cooking can enhance the flavor, and it is even more delicious when used to stew soup.
Seeing that Lu Jiu was very satisfied, Tang Yi put the plate on the table next to him and said, "Grandpa cut a piece of it for fried rice yesterday. I ate two big bowls."
The diced ham fried rice was indeed delicious. Lu Jiu had eaten it before and knew the taste. "It's also because your grandfather made authentic ham."
The ingredients are originally better than those on Earth, and they are naturally delicious. Coupled with Old Man Zeng’s craftsmanship, they are simply too delicious.
Old man Zeng touched his grandson's head and said, "The meat that Miss Lu gave us is really good. If she hadn't sold some to us, we wouldn't be able to eat such good food."
Lu Jiu just smiled gently and put away all the food on the tables in the living room. In addition to these, there was still a lot of food piled up in the kitchen. After all, it was food for three people to eat during the winter.
After she finished collecting, she remembered the Colin sheep she had shot, and said, "Oh, by the way, we just happened to have shot a lot of sheep this time, so we can sell you some."
As she spoke, she took out a few pieces of mutton. Old Man Zeng was experienced in handling ingredients and knew that this was fresh and good meat. "Okay, I'll buy a hundred pounds. I'm afraid we won't be able to finish it if it's too much."
