The cicada is a qualified mercenary.
The employer failed to provide the agreed-upon connectable shell, and Dongchan guessed that Xia Chuhe had encountered a problem. She immediately reported the situation to Bu Yi.
Bu Yi, already unsettled by the "extremely ominous" result, became even more disoriented.
Li Yue, however, read the forum comments and said, "Check the identities of these people. Maybe someone is deliberately leading Xia to the Lost City."
Having determined the direction of their actions, Bu Yi immediately accessed the forum's backend information to confirm that the identities of the individuals were correct.
However, after investigating the group's movements for several days, Bu Yi still managed to find something unusual.
I've heard that the original birthplace of the Land of Rules was the Forgotten City, but it's now a ruin. This is just hearsay; I don't know if it's true.
The so-called "hearsay" actually originated from Green Willow City.
This coincides with the incident where Li Qiusheng smashed the signboard of a black market shop!
Maybe this whole thing was orchestrated by the shady shop owner!
Bu Yi followed the clues to find evidence.
The exploration outside Taotie City went smoothly, but the two inside the Lost City were having an exceptionally hard time.
I'm physically tired, but mentally even more tired.
The title of "Citizen Interface Coordinator" sounds prestigious, suggesting a selfless dedication to serving citizens and a unique sense of accomplishment.
In essence, it's just human customer service, only the target audience is city residents.
What's even worse is that the wages are extremely low.
Xia Chuhe and Li Qiusheng are not city citizens, so they can only receive wages as part-time workers, with a daily wage of 100 yuan.
It sounds like it would be enough, however...
Daily stay fee is 30, accommodation fee is 40, and meals in the canteen cost at least 10 per meal.
For ordinary part-time workers in Twin Cities, a day's work is barely enough to make ends meet.
Fortunately, the farm had supplies, so the two could save money on food and slowly save up to "buy their freedom" from the company and get some temporary allowance, so as not to waste all their time on work.
On my first day at work, I attended training.
The person in charge of the training was the department head. At first glance, she looked like an ordinary person, but upon closer inspection, it could be seen that the headset she was "wearing" on her right ear was not external, but rather attached to her ear.
The supervisor gave the two of them a booklet. The first page listed the contact numbers for the relevant departments, including the police station, traffic bureau, labor bureau, scrap metal recycling center, zoo, etc.
There are so many departments that the contact information alone takes up six pages, front and back.
Supervisor: "We get a lot of calls, but that's what happens when you're biological beings; you have to process information with your eyes and brains. Our mechanical colleagues have all the contact information built in; they can contact the relevant department with just a thought. You'll just have to work a little harder."
Following the contact information are fixed script templates, indicating how to answer some common questions.
Needless to say, the mechanical assistant also has various scripts built-in for easy access at any time.
The last page contains the work rules:
1. Do not ignore the phone without a valid reason.
2. Polite language must be used.
3. The first sentence of the call must be, "Hello, this is the citizen interface. How can I help you?"
There aren't many rules on paper, and they don't seem difficult to follow.
The supervisor, however, said with a serious expression: "The most important rule isn't in the guidelines—never get a complaint!"
Xia Chuhe: "What happens if I get a complaint?"
Supervisor: "Deduct my pay."
Xia Chuhe: "……Σ(°△°|||)︴"
It is indeed very important.
“A deduction in pay is the least of your worries. Once you get a complaint, the quality control team will scrutinize your call recordings. A single word, a single phrase, a single tone of voice could result in a deduction. Then they'll scrutinize you even more closely and deduct even more money…”
It's a vicious cycle.
The supervisor's face was long, as if he was recalling some unpleasant memory.
Before officially starting work, the two answered a phone call in front of their supervisor as a form of assessment during the onboarding training.
The supervisor took two headsets and a communicator from the drawer and handed them to the two men.
The earpiece has a simple structure, about 5.5 centimeters long, with the earpiece on one end and the microphone on the other.
The communicator resembles an enlarged version of a PHS phone, with only buttons and a small screen on the front for displaying incoming calls.
The two put on headsets.
"Wait a minute." The supervisor magically produced a hair clip and handed it to Li Qiusheng. "Don't let any stray hairs cover your headphones."
It turns out there's a signal light on the headset. It's usually off, turns green during a call, and flashes red when a call comes in.
If the red light flashes for too long, it means the coordinator didn't answer the phone, and the department head can immediately catch the person slacking off.
Xia Chuhe put on the headset, and the earphones immediately rang.
She pressed the answer button on the communicator: "Hello, this is the citizen interface. How can I help you?"
"The pandas at the National Treasure Park are all starving and thin. How are you managing them? I can't find the zookeeper's contact information. You must urge him to give the pandas more good food...blah blah blah."
Xia Chuhe: "...Okay, we have received your feedback and will contact the National Treasure Garden to resolve it. Also, here is the National Treasure Garden's phone number; you can also call them to personally follow up. Their contact information is..."
After hanging up the phone, Xia Chuhe opened his work manual, found the contact information for Guobaoyuan, dialed the number, and repeated the issues raised by the citizen.
Although Xia Chuhe felt that this was a trivial matter, she had to do her job well in front of her supervisor.
First, take good care of the mechanical citizens, then properly transfer the problem to the appropriate authorities.
Sure enough, the supervisor gave her a thumbs up, indicating that Xia Chuhe had completed the assessment and would immediately become a full-time part-time employee.
The call Li Qiusheng received was from someone complaining that hovercrafts were parked haphazardly in a certain residential area, blocking their windows.
Since the property management and community couldn't resolve the issue, citizens are demanding severe punishment for those who illegally park hovercraft to prevent such incidents from blocking their windows.
Following the template, Li Qiusheng reassured the citizens working in the machinery industry, and then called the Transportation Bureau to report the situation.
"The hovercraft in XX residential area are parked haphazardly...blah blah blah...please fix this."
When Li Qiusheng made the call to the Transportation Bureau, the supervisor's expression turned rather unpleasant.
After hanging up the phone, the supervisor immediately pointed out Li Qiusheng's problem: "Is 'randomly parked' the same as 'randomly parked hovercars'? Think carefully about the difference between the two sentences. Adding the word 'randomly' changes the meaning significantly...blah blah blah..."
Li Qiusheng looked at Xia Chuhe with a blank expression and winked at her.
The unspoken message is: Boss, can I quit right now?
Xia Chuhe winked at her twice—No.
After reprimanding Li Qiusheng, the supervisor finally showed mercy: "Considering this is your first time answering the phone, I won't deduct points from your score. But you must pay attention to your words and tone in the future, understand? If the quality inspection team has their eye on you, they won't be as easy to talk to as I am."
Li Qiusheng gave a few perfunctory words before being allowed to work with Xia Chuhe.
