"This time the system has behaved well." Ye Zhou walked to the entrance of the supermarket and took a deep breath involuntarily as he looked at the lush trees. He could smell the fragrance of the grass and hear the crisp chirping of birds.
But this time the supermarket was not located in the wilderness. Looking into the distance, he could see smoke rising from the mountains.
There are houses and towns nearby, and although the place where he is is hidden, it is not isolated from the world. After walking for two hours, you can find a small path, which leads to a rammed road. Following the road, whether going forward or backward, you can reach the village or town.
Ye Zhou quite likes this place. These few days when he went out to explore the road, he could see dwarves, goblins, and other races walking on the road.
Everyone seemed to be having a great time. Although it was still the Western world, the technological development was obviously much better than that of the Minzel continent.
It looks a bit like steam technology was just beginning to develop.
Ye Zhou didn't know whether it was just the place where he "landed" that was good, or whether the whole country was good. At least according to his observations over the past few days, the people in the largest town nearby were simple and honest. Although there were many races living together, they lived in harmony. Most people were not rich, but they seemed to have no problems in life.
Among the many dimensions he had visited, this was one of the dimensions where civilians lived the best.
However, Ye Zhou still did not rashly deal with the people here. After Sarah left, there were no people with indigenous appearance among the employees. Besides, all he could see was the surface. He didn't know what it was like here or whether there were any invisible rules.
But Ye Zhou was not too worried. Their current fighting power was still enough to defeat the people here, so there was no problem with their safety.
The only problem is that Ye Zhou doesn't want to have conflicts with the locals. If they start a fight just because of different positions, then he is not here to do business, but to commit sin.
"It would be best if we could win over a local person." Ye Zhou said to Zou Ming who had just walked up to him, "It's not suitable for us to deal directly with the people here."
This is a peaceful time, unlike the previous planes, where people think less during turbulent times, thinking that the situation can't get any worse anyway. But it's not like that here, people don't have to worry about food and clothing, and even if their lives are a little worse, they haven't reached the point where they'll have to seek medical help from anywhere.
Being careful is good for themselves and the locals.
Zou Ming asked: "Should I go out and look for it?"
Ye Zhou thought for a moment and said, "It's possible, but your figure and face..."
Ye Zhou looked at Zou Ming. Although the people here were not starving, they were all short. Not to mention the goblins and dwarves, even ordinary humans and elves, Ye Zhou had never seen anyone as tall as Zou Ming.
As for appearance, no matter how good-looking Zou Ming is, it is still Asian good-looking.
Ye Zhou's eyes suddenly lit up: "Wait for me to go to the store and look around."
He remembered watching variety shows with special effects makeup before. People could be turned into monsters, so making Asians look like Europeans shouldn't be a problem, right?
Probably just pad the nose and brow bone.
Just buy the right prosthesis.
As long as you don't touch it and it doesn't fall off accidentally, there shouldn't be any problem.
And he is tall... Although rare, it does exist. Last time Ye Zhou saw a young man who looked to be more than two meters tall.
Although it may be a genetic mutation or disease, it at least proves that it is not particularly strange for a person to be over 1.8 meters tall.
Ye Zhou returned to the lounge. He searched the store for more than ten minutes and finally found the props for special effects makeup.
It can also be customized. Just scan your facial information in front of the computer and it will be tailor-made for you.
The price is not cheap either. Buying ready-made ones only costs a few hundred or a few thousand yuan, but custom-made ones have to be made to measure the "face". If you want it expedited, you have to pay 30% more.
Ye Zhou is not short of money now, and he has nowhere to spend money. His daily expenses are only on food and clothing. As for food, although there are many people in the supermarket, he can cook for himself and control the monthly food expenses to about 5,000. Clothing is even cheaper, and he doesn't need to go out to see people. Moreover, the quality of clothes is good and they will not be damaged even if they are worn for several years.
Even if supermarket employees like to buy clothes, they buy the cheap ones that the supermarket used to sell by weight.
Ye Zhou had more and more money, but he had no place to spend it, so after looking at the prices, he generously called all the employees over and asked everyone to scan the computer. When the prosthesis arrived, they could all go out for a walk and maybe even buy some local specialties.
After deciding on the prosthesis and makeup materials, Ye Zhou once again controlled the drone to explore the nearest town, which was also the one he liked the most.
However, compared to Ye Zhou's calmness, the employees were very excited.
But they were not coming for this new dimension, but for the staff dormitory.
Although they have lived in the staff dormitory for a while, they are still interested in everything in the dormitory. Although the tents can be powered by electricity, the only things that use electricity in the tents are lights.
Before dormitories were built, tents were the best accommodation for employees.
But compared with the dormitory, the tent looks particularly simple.
"That wardrobe is so beautiful." Aunt Li's favorite thing is the wardrobe in the "dormitory". She and Cao'er live in a double bed room. The room is not small and has a small balcony, a bathroom and a washing machine with a drying function.
Others echoed as they worked, "Such a big wardrobe! The Queen definitely doesn't have one!"
"What are you talking about? The Queen has so many clothes. She must change them every day. Maybe the Queen's wardrobe is bigger than our house."
"Then the Queen has definitely never lived in our house!"
What employees look forward to most every day now is returning to their dormitory rooms after get off work. The rooms are not big, but they are extremely "luxurious". The chandelier is different from the ones in supermarkets. You can't see the lampshades in the lights in supermarkets, but not the chandelier. It is made of brass and decorated with "crystal".
The wallpaper on the wall has a simple but very eye-catching pattern, and you can even feel the lines with your hand.
Especially the balcony, which is separated from the interior by a glass door. Just open the door, you can make a cup of tea and sit next to the coffee table.
Ye Zhou also equipped each room with a microwave oven, so they can even choose microwaveable fast food in the supermarket and take it home to eat.
Aunt Li smiled and said, "We really don't have to worry about anything now. The immortals are kind and the work is not difficult. As long as we work honestly, when we retire, we can go to a good place and live our whole life!"
Regarding retirement, the immortal also told them that he would not let them follow him forever.
But when they retire, they will be asked to choose one from the small worlds they have experienced.
"I still want to go back to Daliang Dynasty." Someone said, "After all, this is where I was born, and fallen leaves must return to their roots."
"Yes, otherwise if I die in a foreign land, I don't know if I can see the two masters, Black and White Impermanence, again. If I can't see them, then there will be no next life, right?"
Aunt Li didn't think so: "I don't want to go back. Even if I don't consider myself, I have to consider the children."
"Cao'er can now read a few words, which is good for her. If I take her back, just like Sarah said, she will be a slave."
The employees looked at each other and said, "It's too much to call them slaves."
Aunt Li sighed and said, "How can you be so proud of yourself? You have worked in your husband's family all your life, but have you ever received a penny?"
"I manage all the money in my family." A female employee advised her, "If you meet a good man, you can always live a good life."
Aunt Li looked at her and said calmly, "You are in charge of your family's money, but do you dare to use it? You have to take care of food and drink, take care of your husband's social activities outside, and take care of the children. The money just passes through your hands. You do the work of a housekeeper, but you never take the housekeeper's money."
"You have to give birth to children and take care of them, and you have to work and serve men. You dare not use the money you handle. I think Sarah is right to say that there is nothing wrong with slaves."
The female employee was stunned, and then realized that this seemed to be the case. Her shoulders slumped, and she said with a wry smile, "This is better than other places."
Many daughters-in-law from other families are controlled by their mothers-in-law after they get married, and never have much money in their lives.
"No wonder they say mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are enemies." The young female employee said with a smile, "There are only those things in the house. If you take care of them and use them, I will have nothing. It's like sailing a ship. There can only be one person at the helm. If there are two, there will be a fight."
Aunt Li: "That's because the Daliang Dynasty is poor! I think the Luoyang base is very good. The sons and daughters-in-law get married and live separately from their parents. They still need to visit each other and be filial to their parents, but if they don't live under the same roof, there will be fewer quarrels."
"Besides, there isn't much difference between men and women in Luoyang Base. If Cao'er stays in Luoyang Base, she can work in the branch there."
"In the future, if she finds a man, he won't dare to look at her in the face. Even if she doesn't find a man, she can still live."
Li Gu thought of her husband. She and her husband got married after only meeting once. After so many years, they had four children. What kind of love could they have? There was none at all. They just lived together.
What's the point of talking about love? Even the noble ladies and the wealthy people who have no shortage of food and drink dare not even dream of it, let alone these poor people who are struggling in the mud.
Li Gu added, "I only have Cao'er now. Now she is with the immortal. She has been to many places and has many thoughts. It's okay for me to go back to Daliang Dynasty. I can live through hard times after so many years. But Cao'er is young and has her own experience and horizons. If I ask her to go back, it will ruin her."
The employees, many of whom had children, fell silent.
"It seems that I can't go back."
"I also have a daughter. Boys can be anywhere, but girls can't. They have to choose a place where they can look up at people."
"Why don't we just pick a place and go together so we can take care of each other and maybe even get married."
The employees laughed, and their previous hesitation and confusion disappeared.
Aunt Li: "Anyway, no one knows what my next life will be like, so it's enough to live a good life in this one!"
Li Gu was thinking very clearly in her heart that her Cao'er was not a cunning child. If Cao'er went back to a place like Daliang Dynasty, she would be bullied. Besides, it was "okay" that the girl had never seen the world, so she could endure it and felt that she was born to be like this.
But after seeing the world and learning to read, he realized his situation and began to resent the injustice of the world. He knew that he could no longer live a happy life.
After she said this, she said with certainty, "That's why those scholars and doctors don't let their daughters learn to read and write."
Others: "Then the ladies still need to be literate."
Aunt Li had seen the world, so she waved her hand and said, "What do they know? Read those rules and regulations for women? I just don't want Cao'er to learn to read, and I don't want her to read those things! They're disgusting!"
Cao'er heard her mother talking about these things when she passed by, but she didn't go near, just stood aside and listened.
She nodded as she listened. Anyway, she was unwilling to return to the Daliang Dynasty.
Who would want to live under someone else’s roof when you can support yourself?
When a child "marries" from one's own family to another's family, he or she is still an outsider after all. Only when the child grows up and gets married can he or she be considered half of the "husband's family".
She has been watching other people's faces in other people's homes for half her life. She didn't think much of it before, but now she can't accept it no matter what.
Cao'er was shocked and found that she was not better than others - she learned sniping from Sister Chen, but her aim was not good and she had no patience. She also learned fighting, but no matter how hard she tried, she could beat those who were lighter than her, but she could not beat those who were heavier than her.
But she can do the work of cleaning the supermarket, and so can others.
She's actually of no use!
She is not as eloquent as her mother, and can manage other employees for the immortal.
When you think about it this way, she is totally useless.
So Cao'er immediately ran to the lounge in a hurry.
·
"Are you going out to find out some information?" Ye Zhou looked at Cao'er. He never expected that Cao'er would be the first one to think of this.
After all, most of the employees only act according to instructions. They can try their best to complete Ye Zhou's requirements and are willing to do it no matter how difficult it is. But getting them to take the initiative to think about doing something for the supermarket is as difficult as climbing to the sky.
But it’s not their fault. After all, even in the plane where Ye Zhou is, most employees do as much work as they are paid.
After all, you only pay them so little, and you still want them to charge forward and give you advice? Unless the boss is really popular, it is basically impossible.
Ye Zhou smiled and asked: "How are you going to get there? Who will you ask? What will you do if you encounter danger?"
Cao'er's mind had never worked so fast in her life. She quickly said, "I'm a woman, and I'm thin. I'm not like Sister Chen who would make people wary. I think no matter which world, people are always not wary of single thin women."
"Why? I can find out more information."
She added the second point: "I won't rashly inquire, I should contact the girl first."
"When I encounter danger, I run away. I carry a gun with me. I shoot first to scare people away, and then I run away."
Ye Zhou didn't expect that Cao'er had really thought about these issues seriously. He was a little happy and relieved.
"Okay, since you've made up your mind, let's go." Ye Zhou, "But you can't go alone. I'll find someone to accompany you."
"You'll need to bring some other things too."
"Anyway, the most important thing is that you return safely. It would be best if you can find out more information, but it's okay if you can't."
