Chapter 453 The risk of pioneering
Along the way, I saw many citizens sitting in front of their homes, carefully polishing the monster bones in their hands, polishing the monster ribs and leg bones into daggers, blades or various tools.
Many monster bones have very good hardness and toughness, and can play different roles than metal.
However, the bones of each monster grow differently, making it difficult to process them on an assembly line on a large scale.
There happened to be a surplus of labor in Dragon City, so we simply conducted simple training for the citizens who were idle at home and assigned them to deal with it.
Chaoxing Resources is mainly engaged in the monster material collection industry. Many tedious and repetitive tasks that do not require high technical requirements and are not dangerous are subcontracted to ordinary citizens. It can also be regarded as answering the call and helping the city alleviate employment problems.
Of course, this type of work cannot meet the needs of all labor forces.
Along the way, Meng Chao still saw many strong laborers doing nothing, with angry faces, and looking like they would cause trouble if they disagreed.
There is no way, Dragon City's journey of external expansion has just begun, and it is impossible to provide so many jobs in the wilderness.
When there is too much idle labor in the entire society, internal problems of one kind or another will definitely arise.
These internal problems were exploited by strange beasts with ulterior motives and evolved into various fierce conflicts, which would also slow down Dragon City's external expansion.
Once the pace of external expansion slowed down, internal problems became serious.
This is the vicious cycle that alien beasts want to see.
This is also the reason why Dragon City paid a heavy price in the late stages of the Monster War in the previous life.
In this life, Meng Chao gave Dragon City a good start, but it was far from being able to relax. It was necessary to work hard to break the vicious cycle in order to completely suppress the so-called monster civilization.
With this in mind, Meng Chao came to "No. 233, Donglin District 4".
This is a dusty six-story building. The structure is much simpler than that of ordinary residential buildings. It is like stacking containers directly on top of each other. The stairs and corridors are exposed. It seems that every household is square.
A large, square room, like a dormitory on a construction site.
At this moment, the corridor on the second floor was crowded with people.
In another room, there were angry scoldings and the sound of things breaking.
After a while, seven or eight strong men with strong backs and fierce looks strode out.
The people watching the excitement were busy dodging, but these strong men with strong evil spirits didn't even look at them. They pushed past arrogantly and pushed several residents to the ground without any intention of helping them.
The residents didn't dare to let them help them, so they got up without saying a word and stepped aside to whisper.
Meng Chao was about to go upstairs, but these strong men had already rushed down.
The stairs were too narrow, and Meng Chao bumped into the shoulder of a strong man in front of him.
Meng Chao seemed to have been bitten by a mosquito.
The strong man sat down on the stairs.
Meng Chao glanced at these strong men casually, but did not sense any strong spiritual energy fluctuations in them. It seemed that they were all ordinary people.
Unless ordinary people are prevented from committing vicious crimes, it would be very troublesome for extraordinary beings to attack ordinary people.
Meng Chao adjusted his sunglasses, said nothing, and walked up from the middle of the road where the strong men moved out of the way.
These strong men all sensed the faint smell of blood coming from Meng Chao's body.
Their perception of danger is much higher than that of ordinary citizens.
Even the strong man sitting on the stairs did not dare to provoke this mysterious and powerful man. He whispered to each other for a while and hurriedly left here.
Meng Chao came to the door of Room 204.
I found that it was the room that the strong men rushed out of just now.
I felt a little annoyed. I knew I should have stopped the strong men to ask what happened.
But it doesn't matter. With his current strength, he really wants to find out the identities of these strong men. There is no way for them to hide.
Standing at the door, you have an unobstructed view of the room.
After all, it is a temporary settlement. It is good to upgrade from a tent to a container-like room that can protect you from wind and rain. It can be called a "house with four walls". Apart from a few camp beds and bunk beds, the most valuable furniture is a small dining table and four walls.
a chair.
At this moment, the four characters "pay debts and pay back debts" were sprayed with red paint on the wall, like streaks of bright red blood flowing down.
All the furniture was overturned and several ceramic bowls and glasses were smashed.
A middle-aged woman who kept coughing and a girl with short hair biting her lips and a stubborn face were squatting on the ground, silently picking up.
Meng Chao looked at the neighbors watching the excitement on both sides of the corridor, walked in, and closed the door behind him.
The girl and woman raised their heads and looked at the uninvited guest with some suspicion.
Meng Chao took off his sunglasses and smiled brightly, revealing his white teeth.
The girl watched for a long time, her eyes opening wider and wider, and at the end, she excitedly cheered: "Brother Chao!"
This girl is naturally the good youngster "Ning Xing" whom Meng Chao taught in his martial arts training class.
The martial arts training class in the temporary settlement in the East District was originally run by teacher Xiao Fanghua. Meng Chao came to help occasionally, but he did not have a teacher's qualification certificate.
Besides, he is still a college student, and he is at most six or seven or seven or eight years older than these children. He doesn't like to be called "teacher".
Because he has brought members of the Disabled Stars Association to participate in several charity activities, many people call him "President Meng."
He himself doesn't like this title very much. Qin Hu, the "chairman", is mainly in charge of the affairs of the Broken Star Club. As the "chairman", he is just a hands-off shopkeeper who can only be a matchmaker, which is really not worthy of the name.
After thinking about it, "Chao Ge" is the most comfortable to listen to. Of course, "Chao Shen" is also pretty good.
Ning Xing hurriedly explained Meng Chao's identity to her mother.
Ning's mother had obviously heard Meng Chao's name countless times. She stood up excitedly, but she coughed loudly and her face turned red from holding it in. She didn't know what to say.
"Auntie, don't get excited, I just happened to be passing by to see how Ning Xing's cultivation is going."
Meng Chao helped them pack up the tables, chairs, benches and camp beds, and together with Ning Xing helped Ning's mother sit down by the bed. He originally wanted to pour her a glass of water, but all the water glasses were smashed, and he could only pour the tyrant mammoth's trunk.
Give Ning Xing the pig leg of the sword, halberd and demon pig.
"The sword and halberd demon pig leg is yours. Let your mother make soup for you. The elephant trunk will be difficult to deal with at home. You can take it to the martial arts training class. I will tell the kitchen over there to cook it carefully.
I’ll give you a good patch up.”
"Thank you, Brother Chao." Ning Xing stood up and bowed deeply to Meng Chao.
Ning's mother rubbed her hands and said: "This, how can this be so embarrassing? In the past few months, Manager Qin from Superstar Resources has given us a lot of care, and even awarded two scholarships. You are so polite. President Meng, you are too generous."
You're welcome!"
"Yes, Ning Xing is very talented in cultivation. All she lacks is some resources and opportunities. If we give her some help now, I believe that in the near future, she can bring a hundredfold return to Super Star's resources. This is the routine operation of many companies in Dragon City.
, everyone trades fairly, there is no need to talk about who owes whom, or who is grateful to whom."
Meng Chao was afraid that the other party would still refuse, so he smiled and said, "In fact, there is no need for 'in the near future'. There will be an extreme boxing competition for junior high school students in the city in a few days. Ning Xing can definitely wear the battle with our super star resources."
As long as she succeeds in the challenge and becomes the champion for a few rounds, the advertising effect will fully earn back our sponsorship. Speaking of which, we still take advantage!"
"Don't worry, Brother Chao!"
Ning Xing has a tomboy character. In recent months, his boxing power has skyrocketed, and he is even more confident. He jumped up, waved his fist and said, "I will definitely become the champion!"
"The strongest will have its own strong opponent. Your opponents are not only the students in the training class, but also peers from many key schools and private schools. Many of them have unique skills, so they should not be underestimated!"
Meng Chao looked around, changed the topic, and said, "In the past three months, I have been practicing in the wilderness, and I didn't have time to go to the training class to see you. I came here today to know if you have encountered any problems and can I help you.
The one who escorts you and solves the trouble."
The shocking words "Debts must be repaid" on the walls, as well as broken glass on the floor, can be seen even by a blind person.
Ning's mother sighed. Ning Xing knew that Meng Chao had great supernatural powers, but he couldn't help but said: "Brother Chao, I haven't run into any trouble myself, but my brother seems to have gotten into trouble. I wonder if you can help us find him."
Woolen cloth?"
Meng Chao was slightly startled.
Ning Lang is missing?
"What exactly happened? Who were those vicious guys just now?" Meng Chao asked.
The version told by Ning Xing is similar to Qin Hu's, but with much richer details.
She said that her eldest brother "Ning Lang" was not bad in nature and was the pride of the whole family and even the whole community when he was a child.
It wasn't until high school that he went crazy and was seriously injured. He lost hope of awakening his extraordinary power. He became grumpy and surly. He made many friends in society and made trouble all day long, which made the whole family miserable.
Last year, he excitedly told his family that he was going to open up the wilderness. As long as he succeeded, he would become rich overnight and let the whole family live a good life with no worries about food and clothing. Naturally, the problem of little sister's cultivation resources could also be solved completely.
solve.
There is nothing wrong with the pioneer profession itself.
Although the danger is very high, the people of Longcheng have to face all kinds of dangers since they were born. They all have the character of being indifferent to life and death and will do anything if they don't accept it. No one is afraid of death.
Absolutely no, no, he was too greedy and did not join other people's pioneering teams as an ordinary pioneer.
Instead, he secretly borrowed a large amount of money, purchased a large amount of weapons and equipment and engineering machinery on credit, and used his contacts that he had been working with for many years to gather a group of brothers to "start his own business."
You must know that in addition to technology and combat power, pioneering is also a matter of luck.
If you are lucky, there are not many powerful monsters around the stronghold, but you find water sources with abundant spiritual energy, rare metal veins or crystal mineral veins. Soon, you will be favored by super companies and transform from "guerrillas" to become
"regular army".
Or, once the news spreads, more and more pioneers gather together and spontaneously build the stronghold into a new town. With the strength of the people, the monsters will not dare to provoke them easily.
When the time comes, you can develop various resources in the wilderness and have the opportunity to soar into the sky.
