Chapter 16
The lame father was leaning on a wooden crutch. The end of the crutch near his hand had been worn to a shine from long use. Although one of his legs was healthy, it hung stiffly, and it must have been disabled.
He saw Ye Qing's eyes sweeping over his legs, and he lowered his head uncomfortably.
"Father Wang Xing, I need to register your real name."
The lame father suddenly looked up and whispered, "My real name? They all called me Father Wang Xing."
He was a lame loser, but fortunately his son was very capable and was diagnosed as a rare space ability user when he was born. From then on, his identity changed from himself to Wang Xing's father. In nearly twenty years, he almost forgot his original name.
Wang Xing, who was supporting his father on the side, looked more and more guilty. He had always called his father "Dad", but had never asked his father's name, nor paid attention to how people around him addressed him.
Ye Qing was not in a hurry and waited patiently: "Don't be anxious, think about it slowly, you are yourself, not anyone's father."
It was the first time someone spoke to him like this. A rare touch of emotion appeared on the man's rough face. His eyes were moist as he remembered a father and his son many years ago.
The father, dressed in a neat military uniform, caressed his head affectionately and said, "Xiaopeng, you must protect your family and your country like your father did in the future."
Later, the country was gone, but he still did it. He saved his teammates and young children in a defensive battle, but he also lost a leg.
But he never regretted it. If his father were still alive, he would caress his head affectionately and say, "Our Xiaopeng is awesome!"
After a long moment, the man in front of him opened his lips, his voice trembling: "My name is Wang Peng, I am Wang Peng."
Ye Qing solemnly wrote these words on the notebook specially made for the system, and at the same time, Wang Peng's life trajectory turned into a paragraph of text and appeared before her.
No matter in which world, soldiers should be respected and appreciated the most.
They shoulder the responsibility of the country and the people, and protect everyone's safety with their own lives.
Even if they retire and leave the battlefield, they still need the care and protection they deserve.
Ye Qing looked at the man in front of him with admiration. His body was weathered by the wind and frost, but his back was always straight. It was a standard military standing posture. Time will forget, but the body will always remember.
She put down her pen, raised her arm powerfully, and saluted with a firm and sincere look.
"Welcome, Squad Leader Wang."
Hearing this affectionate address, Wang Peng could no longer suppress the tears in his eyes. Big drops of hot tears slid down his face. He steadied himself shakily with one hand on a crutch, raised his other hand solemnly in return of the salute, and choked back his words, "Thank you!"
This little episode gave the people present a new understanding of Wang Peng and increased their admiration for him, especially the members of the Flying Tigers, who looked at Wang Peng with even more respect.
After registering their names, Wang Xing helped his father Wang Peng to the side to choose a room. Ye Qing remembered something and called him: "Wang Peng, we have a small clinic here. You can come and see it when you have time."
Wang Peng leaned over and said excitedly, "My leg has been broken for nearly 20 years. Is there still hope?"
Ye Qing nodded: "Let's give it a try, what if there is hope?"
She didn't know if it would work in a normal hospital, but this was a small clinic with a cheat system, so it was very likely.
Wang Peng's heart surged with emotion, and a smile creased the corners of his eyes: "Okay, okay, as long as there is a little hope, I won't give up."
First, the members of the Flying Tigers were accommodated. There were not many family suites, so Xiao Yihong and Zhou Xiaohua each booked one, and a Flying Tigers member with a large family also booked one.
The family suite has three rooms, two of which are used as bedrooms and the other one is used as a study.
Study? Speaking of this, Ye Qing thought that the shelter had too few entertainment facilities. After people's lives stabilized, they would slowly begin to pursue spiritual goals.
However, this system mall has a total of four major sections: housing, food, clothing, and entertainment. Only the housing and food sections are open, and the facilities in the other two sections are still gray. I don’t know when they will be opened.
The other team members also booked single and double rooms, which showed their generosity. Naturally, this grandeur attracted the admiration of others.
“The family suite is indeed suitable for a large family, but it’s a bit too expensive.”
"They are a hunting team, they have plenty of money, nothing like us!"
"But I also quite like this four-person dormitory. It's much better than the big bunk bed I lived in in Shanhai City."
"Indeed, my three brothers can just rent one room. We can rent a better one when we have more money."
"You're right, things will get better."
Everyone has registered, received room cards, and been taken upstairs by several staff members to check in.
The last resident entered the elevator, and the elevator slowly closed. As soon as the person left, Ye Qing immediately opened the system to check today's harvest.
We've recruited so many people today, so we should be able to upgrade!
There are 10 members of the Flying Tigers, 20 family members of the members, and Qian Fei brought 25 people. Together with the original 30 people, there are currently 85 residents in the shelter.
[Shelter level: Level 2, mission progress 85/100.]
[Crystal Core Balance: 358200.]
[Side Quest - "Dream Job Opportunity": Quest progress 4/10, quest reward 10 card draws.]
Seeing such a large balance for the first time, Ye Qing couldn't help but get excited for a moment, but when he remembered that the Flying Tigers' rent was paid annually, his high spirits instantly dropped.
Paying on an annual basis means that there will not be rapid growth in funds for a long time to come, but with such a generous amount of funds, there is still more confidence.
It was a pity that the shelter still could not be upgraded to level three, but she expected the upgrade to happen in the next day or two. After all, the advertising she had worked so hard for in Shanhai City was quite useful.
As for the side quests, Ye Qing also planned to complete them as soon as possible. Recruiting and running-in both took time, and she couldn't wait to try out those 10 card drawing opportunities.
She thought and did it. She bought a whiteboard and a pen from the system mall, set it up next to the counter, and started writing on it.
The mercenaries and Li Yuanyuan, who had just finished dinner at the restaurant, came over immediately when they saw Ye Qing making a new move.
Li Yuanyuan probably earned some crystal cores and ate well, so she looked very proud. She couldn't wait to run to Ye Qing and asked, "Boss, what are you doing?"
Ye Qing glanced at the crowd of onlookers, thinking that some of her future employees might be among them.
"There are more residents in the shelter, so we need to hire a few staff members."
Upon hearing this, everyone was instantly excited.
"Boss, can we...can we apply for the job?" A mercenary looked at the blank whiteboard with envy and asked Zhu Ke who was standing beside him.
Zhu Ke glanced at his spineless subordinate and said coldly, "Sure, if you go, don't even think about coming back."
The mercenary immediately got anxious when he heard this: "Oh, come on, boss, I was just joking. I've been with you for so many years, how could I leave you so easily? Besides, this is just a fixed salary, how can a mercenary earn more than that!"
Mercenaries are all passionate people with special abilities. They have long since adapted to the world full of strange beasts outside. If they don’t go on a mission one day, they will still feel a little uncomfortable.
Moreover, according to their working habits, once they receive a big order, they can lie down for several months without working. Many mercenaries are accustomed to this kind of busy and restful life. For a while, they are not used to working from nine to five and punching in on time.
Not applying for the job doesn't stop them from coming to watch the fun. Their past lives were too hard and boring, so they always had to find some fun for themselves.
Under the gaze of many pairs of eyes, Ye Qing began to write.

After finishing writing, a man who had been watching the whole process couldn't help but ask, "Boss, why don't you cover it?"
At the same time, he glanced meaningfully at the Da Mao and the others standing nearby.
When Da Mao and Xiao Qier, who were standing by, heard themselves being called out, they suddenly felt uncomfortable. Awkward smiles appeared on their faces, and they felt anxious in their hearts, wondering if they had caused trouble for the boss.
Ye Qing gave a few frightened employees a reassuring look and said firmly, "They and I have a life-or-death relationship, so they are treated differently. The people behind us will not be covered."
Of course, there was another reason she didn't mention. There would be more and more employees applying for the job, and some of them would have their own families and lives. It would be inappropriate for her to assign a four-person dormitory to everyone.
Moreover, bosses must learn to keep some tricks up their sleeves. Welfare benefits must be increased gradually to stimulate employees' enthusiasm. If you give people such good treatment at the beginning and there is no improvement later, they will inevitably feel disappointed.
As soon as these words were spoken, the way they looked at Damao and the others suddenly changed. These were the boss's benefactors, and benefactors should be repaid. How could they have the nerve to ask for the same treatment as their benefactors!
Sanmao was young and didn't understand human nature, so he just watched quietly. Damao and Ermao suddenly raised their heads with shining eyes. The little beggar hid behind Ermao with a wry smile, knowing that he was taking advantage of Ermao's thick skin.
Li Yuanyuan smiled and eased the atmosphere: "It's already profitable to provide three meals a day. You can find a boss in Shanhai City who provides such good food, and you get paid."
The person who spoke blushed immediately when he heard it, and looked away with an awkward smile. He was too fanciful. After just a few days of good life, he dreamed of reaching the sky in one step. One should be pragmatic in life.
Li Yuanyuan still had questions to ask: "Boss, the interview can only be tomorrow, is it possible..."
With just one glance, Ye Qing guessed what she was going to say and decisively refused: "No, it's getting late now, I need to rest, and besides, don't you need to prepare something?"
Li Yuanyuan's eyes widened immediately: "Boss, you are right. I need to prepare well."
