In a panic, Kuina quickly gathered up the things she had taken out of the Rubik's Cube. "Third Uncle, I've picked them up. I came to say hello."
The middle-aged man seemed to see through Ina's thoughts, and then took out a bag of gold coins from the Rubik's Cube and handed it to Kuina, "This is your salary for the next few months, I'm giving it to you in advance."
By the way, after you finish your afternoon classes, I'll teach your class tomorrow. I can show them around Prague then.
Kuina looked at the bag of gold coins and thought to herself, "Don't worry, Uncle, I will definitely win the mining area battle in a while."
Just as Kuina was secretly cheering herself on for the upcoming battle for the mining area.
In the small second-floor room, Yuan Chuyi was asking Tang Yan about her impressions of Kuina.
"So, what do you think? Could Kuina become our contact person on Sirius?"
"It's hard to say right now; we'll need more time to get to know her. But from what we've seen so far, she doesn't seem to have any ill intentions towards us."
And indeed, I regarded you as a god.
He chuckled a few times after saying that.
"God, I was just about to ask you this, why does Kuina call you God?"
Seeing Wan'er's expression, Yuan Chuyi said irritably, "How would I know the specifics, and I dare not ask any more questions."
"God means savior."
Hearing Tang Yan's explanation, Wan'er pouted and said, "I thought you used some kind of amazing skill in front of her. She kept calling you a god. So that's what it was all about."
A knocking sound suddenly rang out at the door at night.
"I'll go open the door." Chen Wei got up and walked towards the door.
"Kuina, it's you."
"It's me. Everyone must be hungry. I've brought you some food."
"You know what, I'm actually a little hungry."
Kuina walked to the table and took out a large bowl of steaming food from the Rubik's Cube.
Wan'er sniffed and said, "What is this that smells so good?"
"Camel meat stew with mushrooms, haven't you ever had it before?"
“Our village is relatively isolated, and we usually eat things we grow ourselves. This is the first time I’ve ever seen such fragrant vegetables.”
Yuan Chuyi spoke first.
“They must be very poor there. I asked them this in such a tone. Won’t they be sad?” Kuina said with an apologetic expression. “Everyone, try it tonight. I’ll take you to have a sea monster feast tomorrow.”
Oh, and I also have a few bottles of liquid food here for you. I guess you don't have any of that where you are, since it's from the last few decades.
Tang Yan picked up a small bottle of black liquid and asked, "Can I drink this?"
"Hehe, of course! Don't underestimate this thing. Just this small bottle is enough for an adult's energy consumption for a day. Soldiers always bring this when they go to war to exterminate the ratmen. After all, it can provide enough energy and it's convenient."
Although there was only one dish, the portion was quite large. Whether on Earth or Sirius, the dinner table is definitely an important occasion for deepening relationships.
Soon the group started chatting.
Liu Xin pointed to the red food in the bowl and said, "Why does this food look so much like the red beans from our village?"
"Yes, I think so too." Everyone chimed in.
Kuina tilted her head and asked, "What's wrong? Is it not tasty?"
"No, it's delicious. I'll let you try the food from our village when I have the chance."
Through this dinner, everyone learned that Sirius has three continents, separated by an ocean. The continent they are currently on is called Dragon Origin Continent, and the other two are called Dragon State Continent and Dragon Roar Continent.
Each continent is much larger than Earth. Unfortunately, after hundreds of years of development, over 80% of the Dragon Origin Continent has been occupied by the Rat People.
Not only are the ratmen bloodthirsty and cruel, but through hundreds of years of evolution they have also developed some intelligence, and there are at least a few rat kings on each continent who act as queen ants.
So after hundreds of years of fighting, the number of ratmen has not decreased but has even shown signs of increasing.
For decades, these ratmen have seemed to consciously avoid direct conflict with humans, instead opting to raid human settlements.
This also forced humanity to abandon the conflicts between nations and move towards a federal system.
After listening to Kuina's story, Yuan Chuyi joked, "I feel like you're a teacher instructing a bunch of kids."
Kuina chuckled and said, "I am a teacher at Starry Sky Academy. It's just that I've never taught students your age."
"Ina, are you implying that wars used to break out between nations? If there was a common enemy, why did they still fight each other?"
Kuina sighed and said, "Because of resources. Every country needs something called mineral crystals in order to manufacture weapons, daily necessities, and food."
Because it is the source of all power.
She casually pointed to the artificial sun in the sky and said, "See? To make it shine, you need an energy block, and energy blocks are made from mineral crystals."
The group exchanged glances, each thinking of a resource on Earth: oil. Because of oil, some countries have gone to great lengths to control it, even instigating wars to achieve certain goals.
Thinking about this, they naturally understood Sirius's situation at the time.
"So all these mineral crystals are now divided equally?" Wan'er asked innocently.
"How could that be? If admission is based on average grades, you wouldn't want a poor student in your class to drag down the class average, would you?"
After carefully considering Kuina's words, Yuan Chuyi couldn't help but sigh, "It seems that strength reigns supreme everywhere."
Kuina, no longer looking dejected, said, "I'll be representing Prague in the mine allocation competition in Tiandu County soon. Come cheer me on then!"
Yuan Chuyi looked Kuina up and down and asked, "Are you an ability user? But why were you afraid of those rat people that day?"
Kuina blushed as she answered Yuan Chu Yi's question, "It's true that I am an ability user, but I'm not so arrogant as to be able to deal with so many ratmen."
Yuan Chuyi recalled the scene that day, and indeed, in addition to the large rat-man, there were hundreds of other rat-men chasing them.
How many participants are there in your competition?
"I don't know the exact number yet, but there are 40 small bases like Prague participating, and 10 medium-sized ones participating."
A total of fifty bases participated in this allocation, and I really hope I can make it into the top ten!
"Are the rewards for the top ten a lot?" Yuan Chuyi asked curiously.
"Of course there's more. The first place winner can take away 10% of the mineral crystals mined from all the mines in Tiandu County."
Second place: 8%;
Third place: 7%;
The fourth and fifth place rankings are five percent;
The sixth to tenth place is 3%;
The eleventh to twentieth percent is two percent;
The 21st to 50th places represent one percent.
Yuan Chu nodded and said, "The gap is quite large. The top ten can take away half of the resources. By the way, what was Prague's ranking last time?"
