Chapter 27 Horror Oceanarium (3) A Thousand Times of Love
As a skilled worker at the aquarium, Tan Yue completed his work very quickly.
He pushed the cart along the predetermined route to the various animal venues. With his great strength, he easily lifted the half-person-high feed barrels and dumped them all into the feed trough.
He was wearing a protective work suit. In the pocket of his coat was a small notebook, two pens, one black and one red, and a work cell phone.
After visiting a place and confirming that everything is correct, you have to take a photo and tick the form.
Sea lions fed√
Dolphin fed√
Octopus and squid area fed√
…
Although he had become familiar with the marine creatures here, Tan Yue had no interest in teasing these cute animals.
After all, he prefers dry and fluffy marine creatures to those wet, sticky marine creatures that emit a faint fishy smell.
Every time he works, he prepares the feed and immediately goes to the next location. He is a ruthless working machine.
Tan Yue's job is to feed the animals, but he works from about 9:30 to 11:30 in the morning. He walked through all the areas in just two hours and successfully completed today's feeding work. The rest of the time was rest time.
During this period, Tan Yue did not meet the new employees. He looked at his work group and found that one more person had been added to the group - the human resources manager Tuntun.
The photo of Tuntun is a blue smiling dolphin.
HR Tuntun: Hello everyone, I am the newly recruited HR of the aquarium, responsible for recruiting and managing new employees. I am also responsible for coordinating the new activities of the aquarium. I am responsible for the new employee business this time and in the future. Dear beautiful, strong and kind colleagues, if you see a new employee breaking the rules, you can report to me at any time.
Tan Yue asked curiously: @豚豚, welcome, do you handle all the part-time jobs? What kind of part-time jobs do new employees have? Do I need to hand over my part-time job there?
Curator Guan Shan: @Tan Yue, no need, your part-time job is specially recruited, you can just contact me directly, it is not their responsibility.
The Inside World Oceanarium is a characteristic building of the Inside World and is open to the public from Monday to Friday.
There were originally many areas in the inner world and the outer world that could not be connected. It was only in recent times that cracks that allowed communication between the areas appeared.
But the crack was very small, too small to generate enough suction to absorb "tourists" from the surface world.
Guishen chose this gymnasium located in the imperial capital because he wanted to get in touch with Tan Yue as soon as possible.
Tan Yue came in because He had opened up a special passage for his lover. Not everyone could come in through this passage, but Tan Yue absorbed His divine blood and his body was transformed, so he could enter and exit through the unstable gap.
The working hours were chosen to be Saturday and Sunday because these are the aquarium's rest days.
But recently the rift has expanded, and the aquarium has added more areas and added "human staff" services. Although Guanshan has the power of a god, the inner world aquarium itself is a very special strange place, and the aquarium is alive.
Taking a game as an example, the aquarium itself is a game with its own rules. The characters in the aquarium, whether they are the monsters in the inner world or the humans in the outer world, need to abide by the rules generated by the aquarium itself within a certain range.
However, Guanshan, as the boss of this area, possesses enough power to affect the operating mechanism of the game. In serious cases, it can even cause the collapse of this area.
But that would not do any good to the ghosts and gods, so He would default to abide by the rules of this area. He could interfere with Tan Yue's work, but would not care about others.
The new employee, Tuntun, is the new guiding NPC added after the environment changes. After all, Guanshan is not interested in doing this kind of thing.
HR: @keeper Xiaotan, hello, thank you for your welcome. Part-time staff will be responsible for guiding external tourists, cleaning, and sharing some of the feeding work...
What it doesn't say is that if they perform poorly or make mistakes, those part-time keepers will end up in the mouths of the animals in the aquarium.
Tan Yue replied to Tuntun: OK, I understand. You can call me if you need me.
The kind-hearted cleaning lady poked Tuntun privately: "Don't be silly and ask Xiaotan to help with chores, but it's okay if he takes the initiative to help you. Xiaotan is a living person, but don't try to hit on him, he is the private human raised by the curator. By the way, remember to put on clothes in front of him, and don't use your original form, Xiaotan always thinks we are human."
Tuntun made a shocked expression: "Oh, I see, thank you very much Ms. Meiji."
Cleaning lady Chen Meiji: "No need to thank me too much. For part-time humans in the future, please pick smart and capable ones for me. You are the human resources of the marine agency, right? If you have resources, please introduce me to a partner. I am a beauty shrimp, and I require a male of the same species, young and good-looking."
She sent a photo of herself in her original form.
Tuntun said it was no problem: "Ms. Chen, you are really very beautiful. This request is absolutely no problem. I will push relevant resources to you later."
The dolphin wearing a smiling mask is holding a leaflet with the rules of the "Inside World Aquarium" printed on the back.
The aquarium already has its own rules and regulations, which are aimed at its employees.
In addition to these maintenance employees, those kept in seawater are also employees.
One of the employee rules is: Do not approach the breeder for casual chat.
Originally, Tuntun didn’t understand this rule, because this rule obviously did not come from the aquarium itself, did not need to be enforced, and had no binding force.
Tuntun crossed out the rule at first, and now quickly filled it in with a red pen.
Because the business is not in operation now but in the preparation stage, Tuntun did not rush the employees to work, but first assigned different types of work based on the situations they reported.
Security guard Uncle Tan Ping and patrolman Heiying said that no additional manpower was needed. Tuntun assigned two people to the cleaner Aunt Chen, and the remaining seven people were distributed to various areas to feed food.
Tan Yue originally only fed the animals in the morning, but after the aquarium expanded, it would receive more strange guests, the number of animal performances in the aquarium increased, and more food was needed, so the evening feeding job was added.
After completing the cleaning work, all nine people are responsible for guiding tourists during daytime business hours.
Tuntun is a professional who designed a set of KPI tables to score new employees based on their performance. Only if they get full marks can they get the full salary for the day, 100 Gui coins. If they perform well, they will receive additional bonuses.
Human employees are paid on a daily basis, and if they are lucky and can please the customers, they may even get corresponding tips.
If the performance of human employees is unsatisfactory to a certain extent, Tuntun will decide to fire them.
If they fail to leave by the time stipulated by the rules, they will lose their employee status, which means that these humans are no longer protected by the rules.
Then they are food exposed to tourists and are either eaten by tourists in the oceanarium or by animals in the oceanarium.
Aunt Chen was assigned to two young boys who looked very strong. She had to wear a mask almost the entire time in this job, so appearance was not important; what was important was ability.
Chen Meiji's attitude towards the two new part-time employees was not gentle at all. These humans were not Xiao Tan, and she could not control her natural temper: "What are you two doing standing here? Are you waiting for me to serve you? Hurry up and change into work clothes, and go to the garbage station with me to get the cleaning tools."
The cleaner's cleaning tools are also a small cart, which is equipped with a broom, dustpan, vacuum cleaner, deodorant, aromatherapy, and a huge black trash can.
After all, there are so many creatures in the aquarium, and dealing with their feces and residue is a huge task.
Tan Yue had just fed the animals, and some of the rectal animals had probably defecated all over the floor.
The two selected employees quickly changed into gray cleaning uniforms and put on masks, hats and work gloves.
But even so, when they arrived at the scene, the two men were almost stunned by the huge feces of the marine creatures: there was too much of it, and it was so smelly!
The two young men who were pulled in had never done this kind of work before. They wore protective goggles and their eyes were filled with tears from the stench. They cried, retched, and shoveled shit at the same time.
The trash can in the aquarium is amazing. It doesn’t look that big, but when you pour the feces into it with a shovel, the feces will quickly wriggle and be digested and decomposed.
If you look closely, you can see countless spikes and sharp teeth growing next to the black trash can. The trash can is also alive. They eat everything. If you accidentally fall into the trash can, you will be eaten.
There is no need to push a cart filled with feces back and forth. When you arrive at an area, you just need to keep shoveling, shoveling, and when the feces are gone, you can spray deodorant, change the customized aromatherapy for the area, and then push it to the next area.
When the human resources manager Tuntun came into the lounge, he was already wearing new clothes. The huge dolphin was wearing a blue robe, a pair of leather shoes, a tie, a wig and sunglasses.
It split its tail in the middle and turned it into two legs. Covered by clothes, a wig, sunglasses and a mask, it looked like a chubby fat human. It would not easily reveal itself in front of the curator's private human.
"You guys should change your clothes quickly and memorize the employee code. I don't care what you do, but you must abide by the rules of our aquarium."
Tuntun issued them a new employee code of conduct.
《Inner World Oceanarium Staff Code of Conduct》
Article 1: The aquarium starts work at 8 am and ends work at 6 pm. The rest of the time is for rest. Part-time employees do not have holidays! They cannot be late or leave early!
Article 2: You must wear work clothes to work, be enthusiastic and enthusiastic towards the guests you receive, and try your best to meet the guests' reasonable requests. If the guests' requests are unreasonable or they enter the aquarium area without permission, please contact the HR manager, Tuntun.
Article 3: If any guest causes trouble, Trainer Black Shadow will handle it. If you spot a thief, please hand him over to security guard Uncle Ping.
Article 4: The director is the highest leader of the aquarium. Please do not disturb him. If you meet him, please bow your head and leave respectfully. Do not look directly at him!
Article 5: Do not approach the breeder for casual chat!
This one was crossed out with a red pen.
The two new additions are:
Article 5: Warning! You cannot reveal that you are a human employee in front of the breeder Xiaotan!
Article 6: Do not mention the true appearance of the aquarium’s visitors and other employees to the keepers!
Article 7: Part-time employees are paid on a daily basis, and accommodation is provided but not meals during work. Violators of the relevant rules will be fired!
The first few rules seem quite normal, and are actually not much different from the aquariums in real life.
The biggest difference is that you cannot be willful. No matter how hard or tiring it is, and no matter how many difficulties you have to endure, you cannot just quit.
After all, the other world is a strange place, at least it is willing to pay wages, instead of squeezing people for no reason. The contract states that accommodation is provided but food is not, so I guess the food has to be purchased with the daily salary.
When they came in, Zhang Yang saw the self-service shopping machines in the aquarium, and he probably could buy food they could eat from them.
But when he saw the fourth and fifth rules, Zhang Yang took a breath: In fact, he said that the breeder Xiao Tan wearing a mask was not ordinary, and there were actually two special rules mentioning him.
This means that in this role-playing copy of the rule-based ghost story type, the small talk may touch upon the truth, or it may be the BOSS. Mentioning the truth will probably cause the BOSS to turn evil.
After the supervisor finished explaining the content of the training, it twisted its waist and left: "We will have a trial operation this afternoon, you should memorize the rules first!"
"It should be easy to memorize these few rules."
Several people came over to take a look. As long as you don't have a memory problem, it's easy to remember a few rules.
"What do you know? The written rules are simple, but you need to look at what is hidden behind the rules."
"We are the tour guides for the tourists. What is the job of a tour guide? We are introducing the animals in the aquarium. Do you think the only things we need to memorize are the rules? We also need to memorize information about the various animals in the aquarium. We also need to avoid leading tourists astray. If we perform poorly and lose our jobs, we will be killed by ghosts."
Zhang Yang emphasized, "It's impossible for humans to kill the monsters in the other world, but they can easily kill you! In this kind of role-playing monster world, you must abide by the rules and never commit suicide by violating the rules, otherwise you will drag everyone down with you!"
After they read the rules, the training flyer spontaneously combusted without fire and quickly turned into a small pool of ash.
Seeing this strange phenomenon, the other people nodded repeatedly: "We understand, let's go and memorize the information now."
"Also, be careful with the NPC Xiao Tan and the curator. The curator may be someone you cannot talk to or look directly at, so you must be respectful and polite! Xiao Tan may even talk to you, so don't be stupid and say something you can't say. If you reveal that you are human, Xiao Tan may immediately turn you into animal feed!"
This kind of boss, like the one in the strange domain, is actually very dangerous. Sometimes getting close to them is an offense. Some unlucky people die without knowing what they have done wrong.
"We know. If we run into that curator and Xiao Tan, we must run as far away as possible!"
"You don't have to be too deliberate. If you are too deliberate, you may be considered disrespectful to your seniors. Article 3 of the Oceanarium's Rules states that part-time interns must respect other employees of the Oceanarium. They can refuse unreasonable requests from the other party, but they cannot offend them."
Zhang Yang said: "The more you talk, the more mistakes you make. If you can say less, don't say anything. Try to be mute as much as possible. Be polite and respectful, and act reasonably."
His tone was very serious, and the others nodded one after another to show that they had remembered it clearly.
"Ah-choo!" Tan Yue, whose reputation was seriously damaged, sneezed several times in a row. He rubbed his nose again, feeling that he had been sneezing since he got up this morning. Could it be that the air conditioning in the aquarium was turned on too high and he caught a cold?
He packed up his work cart, checked the time, and headed into the kitchen, where he put on his apron and started cooking.
The aquarium does not provide meals, and we cannot go out casually now. Takeout is delivered, but for some reason, the stores are so expensive. Maybe it’s just like that in the city center, the prices are super expensive.
However, the aquarium has to raise many small animals, so the food storage area will contain a lot of food that humans can eat.
There are vegetables, various meats and seafood. Of course, the vegetables are more common, such as various algae, such as seaweed and kelp.
Tan Yue couldn't eat this kind of food every day, so he had to go out and buy food for people.
Because he had to work during the summer vacation for the next two months and would be staying with Guan Shan for both food and lodging, Tan Yue planned to cook for himself every day.
Guan Shan recommended a distributor to Tan Yue that could deliver food to his door. It was called Haotu Brand Group Catering Supply: "You can choose what you want to eat. They can deliver fresh food every day. This is the food supplier for the animals in the aquarium."
The gods had informed the suppliers in advance not to show Tan Yue the special menu for the residents of the other world.
After all, there are some weird human products in the special supply, and Tan Yue will definitely misunderstand when he sees them.
"Thank you, Ashan. I'll see what's for sale."
Tan Yue took a look at the price list sent by the other party. The ingredients in it were extremely expensive, with an average price of a hundred times that of the nearby market.
When he raised the question, the catering group's purchasing manager Tu Meimei said, "How can this price be expensive? We are offering this price as a friendly price for the sake of the aquarium. We are only offering it at cost price, so we are not making any profit."
To get things from the surface world to the inner world, each time one crosses a crack, the energy required is very high, and they also have to purchase human food ingredients in a targeted manner. Their normal takeout prices are 10 times higher than what is listed on this table!
Human currency is worthless in the weird world. If it weren't for the introduction of a high-level weird, it wouldn't want to do this kind of small business.
"Forget it, I don't want it." Tan Yue rejected the purchasing manager of Haotu brand.
Tan Yue, an outsider, didn't understand the food for marine animals, so he didn't want to interfere. But how could such expensive ingredients be used in meals for humans?
"This store is so shady. Even organic vegetables can't be so expensive! I'd better go shopping myself every week!"
Guan Shan didn't really care about money. He was willing to support his own private human: "You can use the public account to reimburse. It's not much, so you don't have to save money for me."
He glanced at the menu price, and it was indeed not expensive, but he forgot the exchange rate difference between the two worlds. The Good Rabbit Group was willing to accept human currency, but only 10,000 was equivalent to one Ghost Coin.
This is normal. To most residents of the other world, human valuables and currency are nothing more than waste paper and garbage that cannot provide any heat. Even large business groups like Haotu generally do not accept human currency.
Compared to the expenses of this aquarium, Tan Yue really spent too little. The little money he earned from working so hard was all spent on buying gifts for Him. God does not want to see humans suffer.
"It's not that I'm trying to save money for you." Tan Yue shook his head. "I'll go to the nearby vegetable market once a week to buy food. It's not that troublesome. I usually put it in the refrigerator and make more at a time. Besides, I have a big appetite and eat a lot. Eating food at that price will feel like eating gold. I will feel psychologically burdened."
Their family was not poor, but compared to those wealthy families or powerful families, they were certainly not well-off. Tan Yue found it hard to accept that they had to spend so much money on food that was not cost-effective.
A plate of stir-fried cabbage costs 1,000 yuan, pork costs 10,000 yuan, and ordinary beef costs 50,000 yuan. When he thought of the prices, he found it hard to swallow: "Eating gold is not so expensive!"
The staff kitchen of the aquarium has a large refrigerator and freezer, so at most the freshness will be slightly affected, but he is not a picky top gourmet and does not have such high requirements for ingredients.
Tan Yue tried to convince his lover: "It's not a big deal to do the shopping once a week. I can be more confident when I choose the ingredients myself, and I can choose the ingredients I like every day. You offer me such a high salary and good benefits. If I do more, I will feel at ease with the money."
"I didn't arrange it in advance." He should have opened a special Guibi account for Tan Yue instead of just taking the easy way out and letting the Good Rabbit Group connect with Tan Yue. "I didn't do enough for you."
As a high and mighty being, He was used to all kinds of weirdness serving Him, but the relationship between lovers was obviously not like this.
The handsome young man with blue eyes looked somewhat self-blaming, exuding a sad and melancholy aura.
As soon as he became depressed, the other creatures in the aquarium began to become restless, inexplicably falling into a state of anxiety and sadness, and wanting to cry loudly.
Tan Yue hugged Guan Shan tightly and rested his sharp chin on his shoulder: "No, you are doing very well. You are running such a big aquarium. You are amazing. Unlike me, I am just an ordinary student."
In fact, the god who did not do anything for the aquarium but just made the rules to act as a deterrent mascot felt even more guilty. The so-called love is always feeling indebted. The more considerate Tan Yue was, the more he felt he owed the other person now.
He could sense that Tan Yue didn't seem to like marine life, but he was a mermaid.
Before this secret is revealed, He has to do something to make Tan Yue fall in love with the mermaid.
He was recently studying books about humans and saw a point of view: "If you love him, give him a child."
Human love, after entering into marriage, often fades from the passionate stage to dullness, so raising a child can help maintain the relationship.
Guan Shan held Tan Yue's face and suddenly leaned over to kiss him. Compared to when they were in Gu Village, they had spent so much time together, but there were only ambiguities, hugs and pure kisses on the cheek.
How can you have children if you don't do things that are considered childbearing in the eyes of humans?
To express His love, He can create “many children” for Tan Yue. If one child is love, two is double love. It is no problem for Him to have a hundred, a thousand, or even ten thousand at a time!
