Chapter 9 Black Coal Mine Strangely, Levi was not assigned any work until lunch time. Zhang Ling took him to a coal mine, where there were the most laborers and the conditions seemed to be the worst. Here every breath feels grainy, and everyone around is covered in coal dust, as if every inch of space is dirty. "There was an accident down in the No. 7 mine, which was originally short of workers, so we have to wait until the afternoon to start work." Leader Zhang took Li Wei and the other man to the cafeteria. "You're lucky. Just wait here after dinner. When you can start working, I'll come back and take you to the mine to familiarize you with the process." After casually arranging Li Wei, Leader Zhang left the cafeteria with a cigarette in his mouth and his hands in his pockets. As soon as he walked to the door, Yan Li looked at him with displeasure. "Why are you in such a hurry? According to our normal process, he should have worked here for at least ten days or half a month, and everyone around him should be familiar with him before we can take action. This is only the first day!"
Zhang Ling's face was full of disdain. "Of course we have to follow the procedures if we want to get compensation, but this time we are not trying to exchange his life for money, so no one will pay attention to him." Yan Li just stared into Zhang Ling's eyes. He was very familiar with his "old partner". "How much do you owe?" "Thirty thousand." "Gamble every day! Sooner or later you'll be gambling your life!" Zhang Ling, who was squatting on the ground smoking, just smiled, showing his yellow teeth. "I asked Tian Yazi yesterday. Do you know how much a decent-looking girl can be sold for?" Yan Li had only made some money from human lives before and had never been involved in the human trafficking business, so he certainly didn't understand the price involved. Zhang Ling proudly stretched out his five fingers and pinched them into a pinch. "Seventy thousand! The minimum is seventy thousand. If it looks better, the maximum is one hundred and twenty thousand!" Yan Li couldn't help but hold his breath when he heard this number. How much compensation can the bad laborers get? After going through so many levels, it would be a big deal if they get 10,000 or 20,000 yuan. Now this little girl can be sold for 70,000! "Of course, he told me that the prerequisite is that you have to be decent looking. The good fortune of the surname Tian has been connected to the master of Yaoguang District. He buys people from the lower levels and sells them to the upper levels. He is extremely generous!" Yan Li was silent. This silence lasted for about two or three seconds before he spoke again. "How do you want to divide it?" Zhang Ling squinted his eyes and smiled. "I brought the man here, and I found the channel. The guy doesn't look weak. When we go down to the mine in the evening, you'll be there to help me. No matter how much he sells for, I'll give him 70% of the profit." This was obviously different from the previous 50-50 ratio, but Yan Li still agreed immediately.
"it is good!" The food in the coal mine is terrible. It was a kind of paste, not sure whether it was made from rice or noodles, with a strong salty and sour smell. The only good thing was that there was no limit on the amount. Li Wei and Feng Zi, who hadn't eaten for a day, drank three bowls of rice straight away. "Those two foremen wanted to kill me." Just when she had filled her stomach and was squinting her eyes comfortably to drink a sip of water, Levi's casual words almost made her spit out the water in her mouth! Her blue eyes widened. "why?" "The coal mine, the unfamiliar environment, the inexplicably enthusiastic foreman, and many families of workers asking for death compensation, all these elements are present." Levi said calmly. He had no evidence, but this kind of thing didn't need evidence at all, because it couldn't be more straightforward. The foreman named Zhang Ling completely treated him as a fool, and after bringing him into the factory, he didn't even bother to pretend. Fengzi was obviously not a naive person. She understood what Levi said and grasped the corners of her clothes tightly with both hands. "They have such a hard life, why do they want to hurt their own people?" “Because that’s how people are.” Levi looked outside the cafeteria as he spoke. The group of family members of the workers who came to ask for compensation were beaten by security guards holding sticks and driven out of the site. But they still refused to leave. Instead, they knelt on the coal slag-covered ground, crying and shouting, and kowtowed towards the direction of what looked like the director's office. But the manager named Xie, who was as fat as a ball and dressed neatly in a formal suit, just looked at them with contempt and cursed. "You lazy bastards are looking for trouble! Don't you know how much work I have to do every day? You actually want to come to the field to cause trouble and ask for money! Don't say that the higher-ups didn't approve it! With your attitude, I won't give it to you even if I approve it! You bastards!" After spitting and cursing, he turned around and never looked at the people kneeling on the ground again. The workers who were passing by and saw this scene also stopped. Their expressions looked a little sad, a little indignant, but mostly numb. Fengzi also saw this scene and her hands were shaking. Levi was sighing in his heart that this game was indeed too realistic. Not only the graphics and sensory experience, but even the NPC's behavioral logic were perfect. But you can't make money by trying to be realistic in fantasy works, and it's not appealing to people at all. Levi really disliked it, especially this city. Fengzi tried her best to look away from the people kneeling on the cinder ground, and asked with her head lowered. "Should we go before they do anything?" Levi did not answer immediately. His eyes did not move away from the group of humble people. No one knew what he was thinking. "Don't worry, they just want to kill for money."
As he spoke softly, he also looked at the player panel in his mind. [Advanced method: Your career advancement will be converted into experience points, and you can advance every 10 levels (the current way to gain experience is to accumulate money, the legal channel is 1:1, and the illegal channel is 10:1)] [Level: 1 ()] Originally, Levi thought that the game designed this upgrade mode to give players two paths to choose from. One is a legal operation, which is time-consuming and laborious, but not a single cent is deducted. The other is to start a killing spree. No matter which of these two paths is chosen, Levi cannot consider it in his current situation. But at this moment, a different idea suddenly came to his mind. Since you want to speed through the main storyline, it naturally becomes crucial to upgrade as soon as possible. Leader Zhang agreed with Li Wei to go down to the mine in the evening. It was a dark and windy night, which was of course the best time to do the work. This also means that he is still free during this afternoon period. Letting Fengzi stay in the cafeteria first, he staggered to the gate of the venue alone. The group of people demanding compensation were still kneeling there. The security guards seemed to be too lazy to intervene as long as they did not step into the venue again, and did not continue to chase and beat them. During lunch time, there were still people watching the excitement from afar, but once working hours started, the place became deserted and the families of the workers kneeling here seemed to be abandoned by everyone. So when Levi approached, those people, whose faces were covered in dust and stained with tears and coal dust, noticed him. In this world, apart from Feng Zi, Levi always had a smile on his face no matter who he communicated with, even when facing these miserable people. "Everyone, I just entered this place today. Can I ask, if someone dies in the place because of work, how much compensation can a normal family get?" (End of this chapter)
