Wasteland Development Diary.

Chapter 75 We are a serious place
Snowflakes are flying outside the window.

Zhou Yi sat on the sofa, scooping a can of canned yellow peaches with a spoon.

This is suitable for eating in winter.

I have been busy with this and that in the past few days. Now the construction of Building 3 is nearing completion. Da Vinci has been put into its comfort zone for leveling up, and the crops in the fields are also waiting for the final brewing of time.

The hard initial work of this winter has been basically completed, and the next step is waiting.

Hong Xun reported a situation: "There is one more thing."

"When I hired the Iron Horse and the Bronze Bull, I went through the process personally. But in the official documents kept by Recursion City, I still used the official organization name of [Wasteland Development Company] as the employer, and also wrote down your name and filled in our address in Changu Town. Later, when I rescued Dr. Da Vinci, I also did it in the form of a company."

"The advantage of this is that the company will be included in the credit reporting system because of its service cooperation with Recursive City. I just received a message reminder that because of the completion of these two transactions, especially the second high-value rescue, the company's credit rating has been officially confirmed as C."

Zhou Yi ate a piece of yellow peach with sugar water: "You did this on purpose, it must be useful, right?"

“It’s very useful.”

Hong Jian explained: "The social system of the mechanical and electrical city has two currencies. The light currency is the quantification of the prices of various goods and services, while the credit currency is the evaluation standard for the priority of the cooperation program."

“Credit can be thought of as a kind of authority.”

The drone said: "If your credit rating is high enough, you can even directly borrow money to purchase services in Recursion City, and you can also ask for help from Class B electromechanical life."

Zhou Yi immediately perked up and asked some detailed questions.

Simply put, the level of your credit determines the types of things you can buy in the recursive market, and the number of types determines whether you can buy them.

The Wasteland Development Company's credit rating certification is C. The most immediate benefit is that if it posts a recruitment notice again, it will not be as embarrassed as the first time when it failed to recruit anyone.

Mechanical and electrical professionals from level E to C are all likely to come here to apply for a job.

However, the credit rating itself is also floating. If the accumulated consumption in Recursive City is high enough and there are not many negative reviews, the credit rating will be further improved. On the contrary, if there is a violation of the cooperation agreement or a complaint from the partner, the rating will fall.

Hongshun further emphasized: "Although the management methods of different electromechanical cities are slightly different, the credit rating is universal. This will help the company to develop various businesses in the future."

Zhou Yi agreed, but he was a little confused: "I hired an accident doctor like Da Vinci, why did my rating go up? If it was just because it made up for the loss of the city's public services, wouldn't I be able to improve my credit in this way?"

"The algorithm is quite complicated, and I am not in a relevant position, so I cannot answer it."

The drone responded, "But it is basically impossible to maliciously use the rules to improve credit. Credit is just a unit of currency that quantifies risks and benefits."

"For example, if you donate 1 light seeds to Recursion City, then you can only borrow 1 light seeds from here at most."

Zhou Yi understood.

It is essentially still an equal exchange, but credit becomes the threshold for the exchange amount.

But for the company, improving its rating in electromechanical life is worth the cost of hiring alone.

For highly professional positions such as farming, mining, construction, and medical care, mechanical and electrical engineering is a good choice.

Zhou Yi looked out the window at the heavy snow and suddenly thought: "The last group of people who went to Jitou Town for publicity have been gone for 4 days, right? Haven't they come back yet?"

"Nemo reported back that the gerbils hadn't encountered any accidents. They were probably delayed for some reason. The recent heavy snow and strong winds made it inconvenient to travel at night."

The Red Falcon said so.

As night fell, a figure appeared on the horizon.

Through the high-definition camera of the drone, Zhou Yi saw two lines of people below, all of them teenagers. They were wearing tattered clothes, shivering with cold, and constantly rubbing their hands and breathing out.

The leader Cao Dayuan took the lead, holding a glow stick in his hand, leading the crowd towards this side, and talking to them as he walked.

This situation left Zhou Yi completely confused.

With so many people, are they going to move in directly?

Zhou Yi trotted down from the elevator.

Outside, Gong Zheng, who was leaning on a crutch, was already receiving this group of immigrants who had come from afar.

Seeing Zhou Yi, Gong Zheng couldn't hide his smile and said, "Chairman, I didn't expect to alarm you. This time Cao Dayuan did something big without making any noise. He brought 103 people here, and they will all live here this winter."

Cao Dayuan also walked over quickly. He covered his sparse head with a tattered hat, and his beard was covered with snow like icing sugar. He walked with one foot deep and one foot shallow, but he was in good spirits.

"Chairman."

He smiled a little embarrassedly, wiped his red nose with the back of his hand, and rubbed his hands again: "Didn't you say you wanted to find someone to try living here? I thought, instead of looking for residents who already have a place to stay, it would be better to find people who don't have a place to live."

"Jitou Town is much bigger than Changu Town, and there are many local scavengers. They can only live outside, which is a little better than us outsiders."

"Their parents were from there, but this generation couldn't find work and had no place to live, so they had to build a shed. The winter weather is not much better than in Changu Town, and people can freeze to death."

"Many people in Jitou Town just took paper. Paper is expensive and can be exchanged for money, but they didn't plan to move here. Most people are still timid. I know this. If it were me, I would do the same."

Cao Dayuan spoke in a deep voice and slowly: "Later, I discussed it with everyone. Since there are no additional requirements for the trial stay, it doesn't matter who you are. We found the scavengers over there. They didn't have much property, so they came here to try their luck."

Gong Zheng next to him showed a sly smile: "This is not easy. If it were someone else, it would be impossible to make them believe this."

He explained, "Chairman, Cao Dayuan is good at growing mushrooms. Many people know this. Scavengers from other places sometimes follow the merchants and come here from the Death Dunes to try their luck. If you are unlucky and have nothing to eat, just look for Cao Dayuan. He will help you. Everyone believes what he says."

Zhou Yi looked at Cao Dayuan again.

It turns out that this person is the Little Song Jiang of Changu Town. He has a sense of timely rain from the martial arts world. No wonder everyone listens to his call.

"No, I just think that mushrooms are grown to be eaten after all."

Cao Dayuan felt a little embarrassed to be praised in person. He rubbed his forehead with the back of his hand again: "Everyone can get into trouble. If there is a bite of food, let's share it. Maybe I will need everyone's help in the future."

Zhou Yi's impression of him increased further.

He has quite a bit of leadership qualities. "You did a great job, Lao Cao." Zhou Yi patted him on the shoulder: "Thank you for your hard work along the way."

The word "Old Cao" made Cao Dayuan stunned, but he nodded.

"There's one more." Zhou Yi looked at the local who had rejected his offer and asked, "Would you like to work in our company?"

Cao Dayuan looked hesitant, as if he didn't know how to respond.

Zhou Yi told him: "Don't worry about it. Don't you want to change the appearance of Changu Town and make it a better place? Come to me and you can do it. Your goal is the same as the company's goal."

"When you grow mushrooms, you should know that mushrooms will only grow in a suitable environment. The better the environment, the better they grow. What we need to do is to change this place, so that there will be a good harvest of mushrooms in Changu Town, and local people will no longer have to leave their hometown to make a living elsewhere."

This finally made Cao Dayuan make up his mind. He bowed his head and said, "Chairman, I was ungrateful in the past. Please take care of me in the future."

Zhou Yi smiled and said, "Don't worry about it."

"Lao Cao, you guys go to Building 2 and squeeze in a little bit. Building 3 will be completed in the next two days, and you can move in then."

Zhou Yi instructed: "I'll leave it to you to place them. If you need anything, please find Gong Zheng."

"Okay."

Cao Dayuan said: "Don't worry, Building 2 is very spacious and has enough space for you to live in."

"And Chairman, these people are just the first batch. I also asked someone to pass a message to the scavengers in Shagang, asking them to come over as well. There should be more people coming later."

Zhou Yi was delighted when he heard this.

There was an unexpected gain.

In this way, a group of scavengers who had been living in the open air in Jitou Town came to the Emerald City in winter and officially moved in.

Two days later.

The scavengers from Jitou Town moved into Building 3.

Three more days passed.

Three cars arrived outside Emerald City.

Leading the way was the big truck driven by Qian Su.

The other one was completely black, almost a large beetle, and the last one was square, like a matchbox moving on the snow.

Unlike "Mission", neither of these are electromechanical life forms.

"It's just a poor imitation made by Yin Guang technique."

Red Falcon commented: "The optical printing vehicles manufactured by human cities are of poor quality and have a high failure rate. However, there are not many humans who can use this kind of vehicle."

The Beetle was Boss Sha's car, and there were several young women wearing makeup and leather jackets inside. In the matchbox car sat Zheng Bo and one of his young followers.

When they learned that many scavengers lived in Building No. 3, which they had reserved, their faces changed slightly.

Boss Sha smiled and said, "Mr. Zhou, I have no problem with the scavengers themselves. Scavenging is an ancient profession. But the places where they gather are usually not in a good environment. They urinate and defecate everywhere, spit everywhere, and the stench coming from their bodies... These are really a headache."

"Honestly speaking, their presence here will affect the value and style of the Emerald City. Such a good place should be reserved for the upper class of society. They don't know how to appreciate the power and beauty of this place."

"Dead Sea Alien, a group of people soaking in fine wine and tobacco pills, everyone can watch the monsters fight to the death outside while letting loose with the girls. It's really a great place to have fun..."

Zhou Yi was shocked.

It turns out this guy wanted to have a hentai party!

Shit, what do you think my Emerald City is?

Zhou Yi immediately solemnly stated: "They are residents of Building 3, and they are no different from the two of you. In addition, Boss Sha, the behavior you are talking about is strictly prohibited by Emerald City. We are a decent place here."

Cao Dayuan gave Zhou Yi a reminder.

In order to carry out development and production, we must follow the mass line and unite the largest number of people.

Emerald City also needs a large number of residents to move in.

Ordinary people have very low demands. They just want to have a house to live in during the winter where it isn’t so cold.

These people cherish the opportunities in Emerald City very much, and they behave themselves and do not cause trouble.

They are the high-quality customers that the company needs.

Boss Sha's clients are moving in, and Zhou Yi is worried that they will spiritually pollute the Emerald City, causing it to turn into a strange shape in the future.

"What a pity."

Boss Sha tried to persuade them but to no avail. He finally smiled helplessly and said, "What a pity that such a great business opportunity is gone, Mr. Zhou. My clients like these exciting things. I have to go back and explain to them. I hope we can have a chance to cooperate again in the future. Mr. Zhou, I'll take my leave now."

He bowed slightly, got in the car, turned around and left.

Zhou Yi looked at the old man who stayed behind and asked, "What do you think, Mr. Zheng?"

"I don't have any requirements. When I was young, I often slept in the wild."

Zheng Tao's face was calm and he said with a smile: "If possible, I will live next to Qian Su. At least I will know someone there."

Qian Su clapped his hands: "Yes, yes, I also want to be Zheng Bo's neighbor."

Zhou Yi also greeted him with a smile: "No problem, welcome to Emerald City."
