Chapter 24 Surprise discovery
Anjiu rubbed his hands, and continued to chisel after they felt a little better.
This job is hard-earned and is currently the fastest way to earn contribution points.
Crisp tinkling sounds came one after another in the corridor. In the darkness, a beam of light slowly swept across every fork in the road. An Jiu, who was leaning sideways, was stabbed in the eye. She squinted and found that it was Captain Pu, who seemed to be supervising their work.
The three of them worked seriously, and Captain Pu just took a look and left.
Anjiu followed the small hole that he had dug with great difficulty, and gradually expanded the scope until he saw a yellowish, translucent edge sticking out at an angle.
Her intuition told her that this was it.
She couldn't help but reach out and touch it. The moment she was about to touch it, an arc of electricity lit up between her fingertips and the edges.
Snapped.
It didn't hurt, just like static electricity. Anjiu still touched it. The surface was very smooth, like a mirror. Although she was wearing work gloves, she still felt her emotions suddenly rise, as if this thing could make her rich.
Waves of increasingly agitated emotions overwhelmed her mind, urging her to dig this thing out quickly.
Anjiu's fingers began to tremble. Under the influence of this inexplicable force, she only had eyes for it and her hands moved faster and faster.
She vaguely felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't control her running dopamine, so she kept on hammering, leaving the other two colleagues dumbfounded.
Can this tm be rolled?
After exchanging glances, they were forced to join in, gritting their teeth and working desperately.
The rapid ding-ding sound quickly reached the ears of everyone nearby. Although they didn't know what was happening, the sound was like a death warrant. They felt anxious and their hands moved heavier and faster each time.
Ji Zhenzhen couldn't help but pop her head out from her work area, staring at the people working enthusiastically, her eyebrows knitted into a ball. She looked Pu Huai up and down suspiciously, and after a long while she managed to say, "Captain, are you not going to secretly increase their pay? I don't care, I want it too!"
Pu Huai: ...
"Get back to work!"
Seeing that the edge was already movable, Anjiu put away his tools, took it down, and looked at it carefully against the light.
This is a hexagonal diamond-shaped column, about five centimeters long and as thick as two fingers. It is light yellow all over. When it is turned over, the light coming from inside seems to be flowing. Upon closer inspection, there is nothing wrong with it.
If you lift it up and down, it still has a certain weight.
Looking at this thing, Anjiu's anxiety became more intense. Inexplicably, she took off her gloves and put it in the palm of her hand. It was like drinking a sip of iced happy water in the hot summer, so comfortable that she couldn't help but squint.
But when she was about to put the things into the cart, she was stunned - where were the things? How did they disappear?!
I saw that my palm was empty and the prism was gone!
[Primary crystal has been absorbed, the house has expanded by 0.00001 square meters]
Then a 360-degree rotating display of the expanded space appeared in her mind.
...With all due respect, this is not exactly the same, this is exactly the same.
But! She saw hope!
It turns out that space can be expanded.
Doesn't that mean that the entire No. 2 Mine is a treasure that helps her expand her space? !
Suddenly struck by happiness, Anjiu felt a little dizzy.
The goddess of luck finally arrived... Anjiu was about to embark on a smooth road...
Clang.
It was the sound of the crystal hitting the bottom of the cart.
An Jiu turned around and met the slightly puzzled eyes of his team members, as if to say - weren't you working so hard just now, why are you standing there like an idiot now? Can't roll anymore?
Anjiu: ...
She chose to put on gloves and continue working with the tools.
This time she was full of passion, her hands were strong, and with a goal in mind, she was full of motivation. She dug out a piece of crystal to keep for the task, and the other crystal was automatically absorbed when placed in the palm of her hand.
When Pu Huai inspected the place again after a long time, he turned on the light and saw three people working hard and sweating profusely.
He was silent for a moment, then turned around and called out, "Ji Zhenzhen, bring me some water."
Ji Zhenzhen's response came from a distance. Soon, she trotted over and took out the bucket from the space.
Pu Huai said, "Take a ten-minute break. Everyone come over and have some water."
This part can be said to be the favorite of all sixth-class citizens. Most people will take this opportunity to drink a lot of water until their stomachs are round. After all, if they are in the building, one hundred milliliters will cost one contribution point.
If you calculate it, it is equivalent to giving three to five more contribution points in today's compensation.
You know, we usually wouldn't drink water like this.
Anjiu took out a water cup from his arms and lined up to fill it with water from the bucket.
She found a place to sit down and took a big sip. Unexpectedly, it tasted slightly cool.
Jimo came over to check the remaining power of their headlamps.
Anjiu took it off and handed it over. When he looked up, he saw a surveillance camera flying behind him!
The mirror clearly reflected her stunned expression.
"Why is there still..."
Ji Mo followed her gaze and said casually, "It has always been there. After all, the captain alone cannot supervise it."
Anjiu turned back to the headlight and lowered his head to hide the nervousness in his eyes.
Was his action of absorbing the crystal captured on camera? !
The faint sound of the suspended monitor flying could easily be covered up by the noise of mining. If it really flew over at that time, she would not have been able to detect it even with her full concentration.
Anjiu's palms were full of sweat. The importance of Mine No. 2 was already evident at the entrance. Captain Pu's regular patrols were not enough, so he also added a suspended monitor.
The purpose is to prevent someone from stealing it.
Since the resource is so valuable, why is the contribution value so low?
Anjiu had secretly observed the reactions of everyone when they entered Mine No. 2. Shock, fear, and caution were all manifestations of entering a mine for the first time.
Can we infer from this that no one knows how precious the crystal is, and the official also takes the opportunity to cover up the truth by giving a not-so-conspicuous price?
Basically, those who can go down to the mines are those who cannot find jobs and are forced to make this choice. Most of these people live on the 30th floor or above, and there is a serious lag in both resources and information.
Coupled with the established chain of contempt in the building, the 30th floor is the dividing line. No one will answer the questions of the sixth-level citizens, and the Hive officials have not taken any action.
Even the sixth-class citizens are busy trying to fill their stomachs every day, their brains are becoming increasingly dull, they no longer have the energy to think deeply, and they have no ability to change the status quo. In the long run, they can only take living one day at a time as their belief.
Just like Xiaojiu always guards her kitchen and refrigerator, and even if he is extremely afraid of death, he will keep stuffing food into his mouth.
When Anjiu realized this, he decided to only use Xiaojiu's memory as a reference - her information was too blocked, and over-reliance would cause big problems. From what he had discovered so far, many situations could actually be manipulated.
