Chapter 77 Chapter 77 [Successfully triggered a random event - the thief...
Wen Yuan took what Ye Mian handed over. It was a silver square watch. When he touched the screen lightly, the dial lit up slightly, displaying the year, month, day and time. When he touched it again, a blue translucent screen popped up with three function icons below.
The battery level and network signal are also displayed in the upper right corner.
Ye Mian took out a small cube with a silver metal shell. After pressing the switch, the green signal light began to flash.
"This is a signal transceiver. If you put one every few signal towers, you can communicate no matter how far apart you are."
“It consumes little energy and can be charged by solar energy, so you don’t have to be too careful and just use it when necessary.”
"But now it is in the testing stage of the first generation, and there may be some minor problems occasionally, so it is provided to you for free. Once the second generation is developed and has functions such as identity recognition, payment, office, and social networking, we can discuss the price."
Although it is free, it is not completely unconditional.
Ye Mian's request was also very simple - he hoped that Wen Yuan could get both pieces of gold rhenium crystals in Yan City, split them in half as usual, and give him a discount when the second generation of watches was released later.
When Jiang Zi was traveling before, she also gave him a first-generation watch in exchange for him distributing flyers to the farm. When necessary, he could act as a spokesperson and lobby some evolvers to come and join or consume.
It may sound a bit troublesome and laborious, but in fact, once this watch, which symbolizes the revival of technology, comes out, many people are attracted by it.
Wen Yuan was naturally the one who was moved.
In just a few days, he has witnessed two major events: electrical appliances have returned to normal and a solution has been found for water pollution. Now he sees hope for the restoration of communications, and there will only be more and better things in the future.
So he suppressed all the doubts in his mind, didn't calculate anything, and simply agreed.
Ye Mian was not surprised at all. He still wanted to fool Jiang Zixing a few more times, but for a man like Wen Yuan, as long as he put the real benefits in front of him, he would be able to distinguish the pros and cons himself.
Even though he still has doubts about her origins, the magic of the farm, etc., it does not affect his sincere cooperation with her.
For such a partner, Ye Mian is also happy to provide more convenience and benefits.
The reason why the camera and positioning functions of the watch take precedence over other functions is to provide after-sales service - she can transmit the image and map location directly with a feather.
Wen Yuan's skills are still relatively dependent on her for now, so he can go directly to help when needed.
Of course, the fees that should be charged still need to be collected.
Thinking about it this way, there are really endless benefits to cooperating with Wen Yuan.
"Ahem..." Ye Mian's eyes flashed, and he had a new idea, "Want to rent or buy a house on the farm? Considering that you often go out, I can give you an internal employee price."
The farm now has more employees and more time, so the construction crew accidentally got overwhelmed and ended up with a dozen extra vacant residences.
After a little thought, Ye Mian decided not to stop them, but to let them continue to build the planned residential areas, whether for rent or sale. Anyway, the farm is now involved in all industries, so real estate is not a big deal.
Jianwen Yuan couldn't help but look outside. He did have some ideas, so Ye Mian talked about the benefits of renting a house on the farm.
For example, you can use electricity and water freely, and there is a local area network that can be used to download some literary and film and television resources. The four seasons are like spring, and there is plenty of time, making it very comfortable and pleasant whether for healing or training.
At the same time, it also provides some five-star hotel services, such as free breakfast, fruits and snacks, and discounts when shopping in stores on the commercial street.
More importantly, this place is close to the industrial park, so it is very convenient for them to travel back and forth. It would be completely fine to treat it as a hotel and just come here to sleep.
Although there will be hotels soon, they have more people, and several people can share a building with many common spaces, which provides better comfort and privacy.
Looking at Ye Mian's sparkling eyes, which looked like he would not stop until all the rhenium crystal mines he had just discovered were drained out, Wen Yuan suppressed the smile in his eyes and said, "Okay, I'll bring someone to see the house after I finish the work at the salt market."
"OK."
What he said basically meant it was settled. After he left with his men, Ye Mian called Chen Hong over and specially allocated a residential area for Wen Yuan's team. He also arranged the in and out routes for them to come and go as they pleased.
Because machines can be used for sowing and harvesting on the planting side, most of the employees on the farm who were not strong enough to fight but had strength joined the construction team. Chen Hong divided them into two small teams, one team worked hard to build houses while the other team built a new blueprint.
After a few days of hard work, we successfully completed the task in excess of the target.
Chen Hong led and Xue Kai accompanied Wen Yuan and the others to see the house, while Ye Mian brought Chen Jia, who had been successfully promoted to a formal craftsman. While discussing the improvement styles of the hotel and restaurant, they listened to Lu Ning, who had given himself a day off, talking about the situation in the salt market.
The battle in Yan City was indeed easier than that in Li City, but not because of the number and level of mutants, but because there were more evolvers participating in the battle this time, with more diverse skills, and with the help of special weapons and props, they were even more powerful.
The most useful one is the tranquilizer gun that Ye Mian had used before. It is not only effective against advanced mutants, but is also light and quick to use, so there are fewer concerns during combat.
Therefore, there were basically no casualties this time, and a lot of useful supplies were found in the cities that were not severely damaged.
However, there was a minor problem within the Evolver team.
"Although the East and West districts of the University City chose to merge, there was a traitor in the West District who defected to the mutant side at a critical moment, and the casualties occurred at that time. So after the battle, the captains of both sides began to settle accounts, and it is estimated that there will be a lot of trouble for a while."
After finishing speaking, Lu Ning paused and whispered, "Captain Ruan from the West District was cautious and suspicious. Because his skills were not considered a direct combat power, he even isolated himself. As a result, he was locked up instead. When he was rescued, he had been hungry for several days."
"She was not popular and the team was demoralized. I didn't think she was suitable to be brought back, so I just left her there."
Ye Mian hummed: "Very good."
Not only in the West District, Ye Mian also doesn't want to get involved with Pei Ming in the East District. He can be a customer, but forget about being an employee.
Although after this wave of liquidation, many of the evolvers taken in by the West District will most likely be persuaded to leave, they can still go to the Industrial Park. Wen Yuan is neither a sucker nor will he have any bad ideas. He will just let them truly understand what militarized management is.
Moreover, if there really are any special talents in the West District, Wen Yuan will send them to her. It would be right not to get involved in this mess.
After saying this, Lu Ning didn't say much. He just followed along to visit the six-story hotel, fiddling with the watch on his wrist from time to time.
This is an internal version made by Ye Mian, which integrates some system data. It can be used for internal communication, and also includes work software including clocking in, overtime, leave, salary payment, etc. As the leader of the field team, Lu Ning can also use positioning to see the approximate location of each team member and whether they are in a mobile state.
The device Ye Mian has on her own has added monitoring, access control, and electricity to the system, and all the alarm information from the watches will be sent to her.
The payment system is relatively complicated. We need to make several versions and add an exchange function, and there is a lot of data to enter.
But she doesn't have to go out now, and Kate can take over her work when she sleeps, so the progress is faster than she expected.
In less than two days, the second generation with more complete functions will be officially launched.
By then she could really concentrate on fishing - one day on the farm would be divided into two days, and there would be two best fishing times.
It’s not that Ye Mian only wanted to fish, but the collection of side quests was still in progress and the main quest was stuck, so there was really nothing else to do.
Just as I finished thinking this, a text box suddenly popped up.
[Successfully triggered random event - thief attacks, remaining time: 09:59]
“…”
Why are there still thieves?
Ye Mian was stunned for a moment before he stopped: "Leave this to you, I'll go catch the thief."
After saying this, her figure disappeared.
Lu Ning raised her eyebrows in surprise, then thought that since Ye Mian didn't assign her to do anything, it was not a big problem. It should be a system task or something like that. After meeting Chen Jia's worried eyes, she shook her head and said, "It's okay, let's continue."
On the other side, Ye Mian had subconsciously moved to the yard in front of the small building. After looking around and finding nothing special, he went inside the building to look.
But except for the first floor where there was some movement, the second and third floors were quiet.
"Oh, right, surveillance..." Ye Mian clicked on his watch. When he was checking the surveillance footage of a specific location, he thought of something and clicked on the footage around the warehouse first.
As the surveillance footage started to unfold, Ye Mian felt something flash before her eyes, and she dodged without thinking.
Looking at the warehouse area which was not just one but an entire area, Ye Mian couldn't help but hold his forehead with his hand. If he had known earlier, he should have asked them to take it easy and not build so many so quickly.
Fortunately, we were able to confirm that the thieves were heading for the warehouse, so we just had to look for them one by one.
Because the thief could move, Ye Mian was planning to quietly enter the warehouse to check without alerting other employees when he heard a short scream not far away.
The voice sounded familiar, Ye Mian raised his eyebrows and teleported over.
As soon as I stood still, I saw a strange confrontation scene.
On one side was Jiang Xin, who was diligently guarding the warehouse with a bubble machine in her hand. On the other side was a man wearing a black hood, struggling in the bubbles but making no sound.
The bubble could only trap low-level mutants for a few seconds, but now it showed no sign of bursting.
So weak?
"Boss! You're here!"
Seeing Ye Mian, Jiang Xin relaxed: "This person seems to want to steal something!"
"I know, but... this might not be a human."
"ah?"
Ye Mian didn't know how to explain it for a moment. After all, it was the first time she encountered such a random incident. She just patted Jiang Xin on the shoulder and said, "Well done!"
Jiang Xin looked at Ye Mian in confusion, then looked at the thief who was still struggling in the bubble, and then her eyes widened: "He——"
Ye Mian had been watching as well, and saw that the thief seemed to have given up struggling, and he shrank while squatting down. Soon his clothes became loose and fell off, and something else fell down with them.
Then with a snap, the bubble finally burst.
【Congratulations! The thief has fled, leaving behind his loot! 】
