Chapter 78 Are you fucking blind?
"Have you heard any good news?" The weather outside was really hot and humid, so Yu Qi returned to the armored vehicle and only opened the window a crack.
A cool breeze blew in, soothing all the heat, and she felt alive again.
"Seventh Brother, hurry up and upgrade. With the advanced intelligent central control system, you can upgrade the armored vehicle to level five or six and control different modes."
"For example, forest mode, grassland mode, snowfield mode, ocean mode—you can experience all sorts of modes simply by being inside your own vehicle..."
"This is the power of an advanced intelligent central control system. There are many more functions waiting for you to discover!" the assistant said proudly from the side.
"Now that you mention it, I'm really looking forward to it. It seems I'll have to figure out a way to upgrade the armored vehicle to the next level." Yu Qi tapped the steering wheel.
Of course, she also hoped that the construction site replica would be similar to a shopping paradise, with a lower temperature, otherwise she would turn around and leave!
Even if I can earn crystal coins, I won't stay any longer, because my health is the most important thing!
"I've asked! I've asked a brother of mine, and he says he's very familiar with a contractor! He can pay us 150 crystal coins a day, and it's paid in cash!"
Shi Yang squinted, wiping his sweat as he ran over, revealing a sunny smile.
Yu Qi also showed a bright smile. This time, she took the little sunflower with her and stepped out of the vehicle.
The baby sunflower twisted its roots into two ropes, which looked like two legs. It walked like a wound-up toy, and it was quite fast.
Shi Yang looked on with some surprise and doubt. In this world of road survival, there were actually sunflowers that could walk?
"What is this?" he asked, puzzled.
"This is a pet I got from a silver resource box. It's very attached to me and follows me everywhere. Is it okay to take it with me to work?"
Yu Qi slightly raised her eyes.
"Of course, no problem. Just make sure you keep a close eye on the pet. If it bumps into those monsters, the contractor won't be so easy to talk to," Shi Yang instructed.
At the same time, the young man was overjoyed; such a plant pet must be extremely rare.
When this clueless woman gets tricked into going to the construction site, won't all her valuables and resources be his? This pet will be his sooner or later too, so it's good that he brought it out in advance!
Both sides were smiling broadly.
"It's so hot outside, why don't you stay in the car for a while? I'll activate the station teleportation card right away!" Shi Yang said considerately from outside.
Yu Qi nodded, watching the other person hold the card.
Immediately afterwards, a layer of gray appeared ahead of them.
"Let's go, we can just walk there. This gray road is actually a teleportation channel. It looks very long, but it's only a few steps away." Shi Yang waved to her.
The two quickly walked along the gray road, and the little sunflower behind them quickly followed, even curling Yu Qi's leaves with its own.
Seeing how spiritual this sunflower was, a dark glint flashed in Shi Yang's eyes.
It's good if it has a spirit, because it'll fetch a better price. There are definitely monsters at the construction site that like it, and he might even make a little extra money!
After stepping onto the gray road, the surrounding space was no longer so hot, but the temperature was still very high, around thirty or forty degrees Celsius.
This gray road looks very much like the golden avenue I walked on when I entered the shopping paradise.
However, the two sides are naturally treated differently. The golden avenue is filled with birdsong and fragrant flowers, while this gray road is dusty and full of smog.
Seeing this, Yu Qi increased his speed considerably.
Before long, they saw a building under construction in the distance, and all sorts of monsters working on the construction site.
Several shops have opened next to the construction site, including restaurants, supermarkets, and clothing stores.
Yu Qi glanced around and was somewhat disappointed. There was no Black Cat Restaurant branch here, but a Fox Family Stir-fry restaurant that she didn't recognize.
Several pieces of bloody, fresh meat were still hanging outside, which was somewhat nauseating in this weather.
She glanced at it once and then looked away.
"Shh, we've entered the monster's territory, so don't say anything too much," Shi Yang warned from the side.
"Last time, one of my brothers was here. He only said one thing about this restaurant being bloody, and he was dragged away. We still haven't found him!"
"You absolutely must not repeat my mistake, otherwise when you encounter danger, even if my older brother has some connection with the contractor, he won't be able to protect you!"
Yu Qi turned and glanced at him, a half-smile on her face.
Shi Yang subconsciously touched his head, feeling that something was wrong, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it, so he had no choice but to follow the procedure and take the person over.
Not long after, a minotaur appeared in front of the two.
Shi Yang stepped forward, revealing a fawning smile, and whispered, "Brother Niu, I've brought another worker with me. Don't let her being a woman fool you; she must be very strong to have survived so many days in such harsh weather!"
"Whatever work is needed on the construction site, just tell her what to do, she'll be happy to oblige!"
"Look, here comes another person, isn't that..."
Each time a person is delivered, the bull-headed foreman will give them twenty crystal coins.
Twenty crystal coins may not seem like much, but over the past few days, they've accumulated over a hundred crystal coins!
This is a huge sum of money, more than many people earn in dungeon quests!
Shi Yang was full of confidence, thinking that if he could trick a few more people into coming, he could definitely surpass the hunting time, and he might even be able to buy more powerful weapons in the future!
What are those weapons from the treasure chests along the highway? They're all terribly useless. If we could buy them in the monster world here, we could definitely get the most powerful weapons!
"You want me to give you crystals?" the minotaur replied in a buzzing voice.
Shi Yang was stunned. What was wrong with this freak contractor? Wasn't it agreed that each person would receive twenty crystal coins?
Is this an attempt to back out at the last minute, or to tear up their treaty?
If we don't give him crystals, why should he take such a big risk to bring players from the parallel highway? Isn't that just ripping people off?
"Brother Niu, we had an agreement before, and I'll be sending even more people over. With so many people helping you with the work, it's a win-win situation for everyone!" Shi Yang reminded him in a low voice.
"Pah! What do you mean, 'you're good, I'm good, everyone's good'? Are you blind? You've brought workers here, you've invited your ancestors here!" The minotaur snorted fiercely through his nose.
He recognized at a glance that the woman in the black combat uniform was wearing a gold half-mask from Shopping Paradise.
He also went to watch the masquerade ball held at the shopping paradise last night, but he served as a bodyguard on the outside.
At that time, he saw with his own eyes that among the masks that the shopping paradise gave to its customers was this kind of gold mask!
Yesterday's ball was a high-level event, and all the distinguished guests were gold card members of Shopping Paradise, the darlings of Shopping Paradise!
Even as a contractor, he could only serve as a bodyguard on the outermost perimeter!
This audacious and unscrupulous player has actually invited a gold card member from the shopping paradise and made them work illegally.
Do you want him to die?
Just as Shi Yang was confused and couldn't figure it out, his Bull-Headed Brother suddenly pounded his chest and then knelt down in front of the woman behind him.
"Honorable guest, please forgive my rudeness! We are just lowly servants, we didn't recognize your greatness and didn't know you were here."
"I, Old Niu, will prepare a VIP lounge for you right away. I'm sure you'll be satisfied!"
The foreman with the bull's head suddenly knelt down, startling the other foremen around him. They rushed over and were equally shocked when they saw the golden mask.
"Distinguished guest, what brings you here? Please come and sit in the lounge! It's so hot and dusty outside; how could someone of your stature be here?"
"Honored guest, please come and sit in the lounge. It's much cooler here..."
Seeing the monsters around them still standing there dumbfounded, one of the fox foremen roared, "What are you all standing there for? Hurry up and prepare fresh fruit and coffee for our distinguished guests!"
The monsters hurriedly ran away.
Surrounded by these monsters, Yu Qi smiled at Shi Yang outside once again.
Golden sunlight shone on the construction site, creating a bright and sunny scene, yet Shi Yang felt a chill run through his body.
Holy crap, what kind of being did he mess with?
Even the most arrogant foremen at these construction sites addressed this young woman as a distinguished guest.
Wait a minute, isn't this female protagonist a player? The player has only been in this world for a few days, how did she become a customer of these contractors?
Shi Yang was disheveled in the wind.
