Bai Liu said sincerely: "We have a high ability to coordinate labor. One person can do the work of a hundred people."

Liu Jiayi nodded repeatedly: "Yeah, yeah!"

No matter how much the processor disbelieved it or how unwilling he was, the 200 kilograms of roses were actually placed in front of the tent and the processor could not deny it.

The processor could only glare at them hatefully, threw them four bottles of cheap rose perfume, dragged a huge sack of roses, turned around and gave them a "follow me" gesture.

"You have obtained the qualification to be promoted to processors." The processor said coldly, "The competition in this industry is very fierce. If you don't do your job well, you will be squeezed out and become a low-level flower picker at any time. Now follow me to learn how to become a qualified processor."

[Mission Reward: Player Bai Liu obtains 4 bottles of low-level perfume and gains progress in the main mission (promoted to processor)]

Bai Liu and Liu Jiayi looked at each other and followed. They once again stepped into the rose factory that worked day and night.

————————

This was Bai Liu's second time stepping into the open-air square outside the Rose Factory.

Rose petals collected from the open-air square are placed on thick plastic film and sorted to dry. The processors coming and going are all wearing strict protective clothing. There are also several huge pots next to them, in which the petals are drying.

"Processors are responsible for collecting freshly picked dried rose leaves from lower-level flower pickers."

The processor led Bai Liu and the others inside without looking away, explaining as they walked: "After they are collected, they are simply cleaned and dried in this open-air square and on the rooftop. After removing the branches, leaves and stems, the fresh petals need to be dried in the sun and moonlight for twelve hours before they can enter the next step of processing."

The processor pointed to the big pots in the corner and the workers who were pouring petals into them:

"After the petals have been dried sufficiently, pour them into this pot and stir-fry or dry them until they turn a light pink color similar to a girl's inner lips. At this point, the pre-treatment of the dried rose leaves is complete. You need to hand over the processed dried rose leaves to the official factory workers who will do the next step of processing."

The processor led them into the long corridor they walked through the first time, but instead of going straight, they turned right when passing the exhibition hall, and the view changed, and they entered another long corridor.

There are serially numbered prison-like rooms on both sides of the corridor, and there is a staircase at the end corner leading upwards.

"This is the processor's dormitory. You don't have to live in tents." The processor pointed to the rooms. "Generally speaking, our dormitory is for eight people, distributed on the first, second and third floors. You can go up from the stairs. The rooms above are the factory workers' rooms. Their rooms are double rooms. The top floor is the perfumer's room, which is a spacious and bright single-family apartment structure. Low-level processors like us are not allowed to go up to the floors where the factory workers and perfumers have rooms."

"The top floor is the perfumer's room, so where is the factory director's room?" Bai Liu asked.

The processor was choked by Bai Liu's brain-sick question and angrily said, "You are not allowed to go to the factory director's room!"

Bai Liu pretended to be innocent and looked at the worker: "But at least I need to know where the factory director's room is so I can avoid it, right? Otherwise, what if I accidentally break into the factory director's room?"

The worker's face froze for a moment, and he said sarcastically, "You can't just walk into the director's room randomly."

"Okay, I'll continue to introduce you to other things." He quickly skipped over the topic. "Turn right at the front staircase and you'll find the infirmary. We allow employees to take sick leave here, but to prevent you from being lazy, you must come to the infirmary for treatment after taking sick leave, and come back to work immediately after you're cured."

"Finally, let me talk to you about the salary of the processors." The processor turned and looked at Bai Liu, "After you become processors, you will be half-formal employees of the Rose Factory. As long as you complete basic tasks every day, you can get a basic salary of three bottles of low-grade perfume."

Bai Liu asked: "What is the basic mission?"

"Each of you has to process 240kg of fresh dried rose leaves every day and hand them over to the factory workers," said the processor.

Liu Jiayi slowly raised her head and asked in a stagnant tone: "...how many kilograms of roses did you just say?"

The processor sneered at her and said, "240 kg. Your job includes screening, drying, and drying these 240 kg of roses. This is just the most basic task. If you can't complete it, you won't get the base salary. In three days, you will be eliminated by other promoted flower pickers."

"For you new workers, working overtime all night long is the norm to complete your tasks. Dormitories are just a decoration for you."

The processor patted Bai Liu's shoulder hypocritically, saying, "Oh, by the way, maybe it's useless for you to know, but I can still tell you that the May Rose Festival is coming soon. Recently, the factory has a labor incentive mechanism for our processors. After completing the basic tasks, for every additional 60kg of roses processed, you can get a bottle of intermediate rose perfume as a reward."

"Just do your job well." The processor sneered sarcastically, "Don't keep wandering around thinking about our factory manager. If you fail to complete the basic tasks, you might become refugees in three days."

"You can use your current work badges to collect roses from the flower pickers. Remember, you will be charged for every rose you process. The picked roses will become stale after half a day at most. The wasted roses will be deducted from your wages. That is where you can pick up the uniforms for the flower pickers. You can start working after changing into your clothes."

The processor pointed out the place for Bai Liu and the others to change clothes, then turned around and left, dragging Rose with him, and hurried to work in the open-air factory.

[System prompt: Triggering a side quest - Obtain a bottle of intermediate rose leaf gas perfume]

Liu Jiayi was silent for a long time before she spoke: "The daily task is 240kg, the reward task is 60kg, a total of 300kg of dried rose leaves to be processed. Even if we work 24 hours a day without sleep, we still have to process 12.5kg every hour..."

"No, it's more than that, because if we count from the time we collect the flowers, it will take a whole day and night to dry them." Bai Liu stroked his chin and fell into deep thought, "That means we can't start working on the first day. According to what the processor just said, if we don't complete the basic tasks in three days, we will be replaced by the upgraded flower pickers. So in general, our average task for the next two days should be 360kg, if we add the daily reward task..."

Bai Liu calmly added: "Well, this is just the normal routine of working overtime as a social animal. I can accept it."

Liu Jiayi: “…”

Liu Jiayi began to fear her life after entering society in advance.

——————

Bai Liu and his team went to collect their uniforms. Normally, they should go to the flower fields to collect the roses as instructed, but Bai Liu was very confident in letting Liu Jiayi collect 720 kg of roses by herself, then waved his hand and said he had to leave for something.

Liu Jiayi was speechless: "I can't handle so much by myself, you'd better come back soon."

"I know." Bai Liu raised the corner of his mouth and looked down at the four bottles of perfume in his hand. "Aren't I going to find someone to help me deal with it?"

Seeing Bai Liu turning around to leave, Liu Jiayi called out to him: "Wait!"

Bai Liu raised his eyebrows and turned back.

[System prompt: Player Liu Jiayi spent 200 points to open the (Mute Small TV) service]

Liu Jiayi looked around and made sure that no one was nearby. Then she frowned and approached Bai Liu and whispered, "Did I tell you that three of the four players you attracted last night were high-level players from the King's Guild?"

Bai Liu nodded.

"I think that hunter has cooperated with the people from the King's Guild." Liu Jiayi's brows were getting tighter and tighter. "The hunter's target is obviously you, and the reason why the King's Guild cooperated with the hunter, I think their target should be me."

Liu Jiayi pursed her lips and was silent for a moment before speaking: "Red Heart... The Queen thinks highly of me. She is training me to be the tactician of this team. If I betray the guild, it will have a great impact on the King's Guild's league this time..."

"You brought me into the game so brazenly. These people must be coming for you. Judging from the Queen's behavior, she will definitely think that as long as she kills you, I will return to the King's Guild..."

Liu Jiayi tugged at her oversized protective suit uncomfortably, her fingers tangled behind her back. She turned her head away and whispered a few words quickly, "I'm sorry, I offended you with something that happened to me."

There was a reason why Liu Jiayi said this. If Bai Liu just wanted to save Liu Jiayi and heal her injuries, he could have just thrown Liu Jiayi into a level three game and let her clear it by herself.

This not only prevents Bai Liu from being directly targeted by the Red Heart Guild, but also allows Liu Jiayi to quickly heal herself and get out after clearing the level. Apart from the fact that it seems to have no conscience, it is indeed the best solution.

But using this method, Liu Jiayi would definitely be surrounded by people from the King's Guild and be caught in a situation where she was besieged from all sides.

Although the people in the King's Guild will not harm Liu Jiayi, they will definitely find ways to restrict her freedom and trap her in the King's Guild to play in this league.

Hong Tao's brainwashing skills are quite good. With the help of various spirit value items stored in various guilds and Hong Tao's skills, it is not difficult for Hong Tao to control Liu Jiayi to serve the King's Guild with all her heart.

Thinking of this, Liu Jiayi didn't want to go back at all. She began to be a little afraid of the queen. Liu Jiayi was afraid that she would be seduced by the queen again and turn back into the demonic little witch who was trapped in a whirlpool of doubt.

Bai Liu followed Liu Jiayi in, and it was obvious that he stood up to divert attention and became a target in order to protect her. He was willing to confront the King's Guild directly for her.

Liu Jiayi is not a fool, on the contrary she is very smart. She knows very well that Bai Liu is just asking for trouble for her, that's why he said this apology.

——Although she saved Bai Liu once and blocked a bullet for him, it was only to repay him.

Xiao Bailiu saved her once in the orphanage, and Bai Liu risked his life to save her in the church.

Now it was her turn to owe Bai Liu again - Liu Jiayi was a little annoyed, she felt that the account between her and Bai Liu could not be settled in a short time.

But after this soft apology, Liu Jiayi raised her head and nodded, trying to "inadvertently" glance at Bai Liu's reaction, and heard Bai Liu reply calmly: "You want to apologize to me in such a low voice?"

Liu Jiayi: “…”
