Chapter 4: Mining
In the evening, the carriage arrived at the mining area.
The mining area is large and has continuous houses backed by mountains. These houses are simple in structure, but they are cleaned very clean.
Standing at the entrance of the mining area, Martin stopped the car and six people got out of the car one after another.
Martin pointed to the gate of the mining area and said to everyone with a smile: "This is where everyone will work in the future. I will take you in and register, and then take you to browse in there."
So everyone followed Martin and first went to a house to register their personal information. Each of them received a hoe and a steel helmet, and then went to the residential area.
The houses in the residential area are very ordinary, made of stone slabs. One house can live in four people. Although the house is simple, it can shelter from wind and rain. Moreover, the terrain here is relatively high and there will be no water accumulation on rainy days.
Chu Wei and Zhong Wen and two indigenous people were assigned to a house. After putting down their belongings, the four of them walked out of the room again.
Martin took them around the mining area again, and the cafeteria that provides free meals, a bar and a daily necessities store, where you can buy some ordinary daily necessities.
After walking for a while, after learning about the structure of the mining area, Martin said goodbye and left. He had to return to the town of Verde and could not stay here for a long time.
Chu Wei and Zhong Wen returned to the house and planned to leave the game.
It has been ten hours since we entered twelve o'clock.
The game time and the real time are equal, so in reality it is almost ten o'clock in the morning, and Chu Wei still has real work, so he has to leave.
At this time, we need to talk about the humanized length of working in the real world.
As long as you work for eight hours a day, you can freely choose your working hours, even if you have one or two hours at night, there is no problem.
Work efficiency is formulated by chips and monitoring robots, and if they are not satisfied, wages will be shortened.
This method eliminates the workers' laziness and gives them full freedom.
Of course, this is just a privilege for civilians. As for slavery, they work for a long time and must be strictly regulated.
Chu Wei opened his eyes from the bed, and there was no mental fatigue. This is also the uniqueness of the chip. It allows you to entertain virtual space while sleeping without feeling any fatigue. This is also a disguised increase in people's lifespan.
After getting off the bed and washing up, Chu Wei walked out of the staff dormitory.
This is also a mining area, located in Shanxi, ancient China, and the only few coal mines left are mined.
Unlike in the game, Chu Wei in reality is a coal miner. Every day he comes up from the bottom, he becomes completely black.
Chu Wei arrived at the entrance of the coal mine, changed into clothes in the preparation room, got his hoe and shovel, brushed his own chips from the flying robot to register, and then went down to the coal mine.
From time to time, monitoring robots as big as bees are hovering and flying by in the mines, and sometimes they will stay by your side for a while, recording your work situation, and transmitting information to the central computer to make an evaluation of your work situation.
The evaluation is divided into several levels: A-level excellent evaluation, B-level good evaluation, C-level ordinary evaluation, and D-level failure evaluation.
The salary on the day of the D-level evaluation is reduced by half; the salary on the one-third of the one-month D-level evaluation is reduced by half; if the salary on the other side is exceeded, all wages will not be paid this month.
Class C ordinary evaluation, no punishment or reward.
The salary for the day of the B-level good evaluation is increased by half; the salary for the one-month B-level evaluation reaches one-third of the month, and the salary for the month is increased by half; the salary for the B-level evaluation exceeds one-half, and the salary for the month is increased by half.
The salary of A-level excellent evaluation doubled on the day; the salary of a month exceeds one-third, and the salary of a month is doubled; the salary of A-level excellent evaluation exceeds one-half, and the salary of this month is twice.
At the same time, there must be no absenteeism or D-level evaluation in the month of AB level evaluation, otherwise the superimposed reward measures will not be issued.
The punishment is severe and harsh, which eliminates people's idea of being lazy; the reward measures are very generous, making people more motivated.
Most Chu Wei will get ordinary reviews and occasionally get good reviews. Only excellent reviews and failed reviews have never received them.
However, Chu Wei performed very well today. After finishing work at 7 pm, he took a shower in the bathroom of the staff dormitory, the chip came with his work evaluation level that day.
good.
This means that the rewards for today's work have doubled.
The reward of 100 yuan a day can be increased to 150 yuan, which is also a great gain for Chu Wei.
After Chu Wei settled the dinner in the cafeteria, he returned to his room and couldn't wait to lie on the bed and enter the chip space.
I chose to enter "Epic Continent", and my consciousness was shrouded in darkness. After a moment, I saw a bright light.
Chu Wei sat up, rubbed his sleepy eyes, and looked around.
"Brother Chu, why did you come in so late?" Zhong Wen's voice sounded in his ears. Chu Wei looked at him and found that Zhong Wen was standing beside him and looking at him.
Chu Wei rubbed his shoulders, which were a little sore, and said, "I want to work. In eight hours, how can I compare to you elites."
Zhong Wen laughed and said, "Brother Chu has such a high attribute, I think he can become an elite in the future."
"I hope." Chu Wei stood up, looked at the other few empty beds, and asked, "Have you started working now?"
Zhong Wen nodded and said, "They just left. I see you haven't come yet, so I'll wait for you here for a while."
"Thank you." Chu Wei patted Zhong Wen's shoulder and said, "Let's hurry up, it would be bad if it was considered absent from work."
The two of them quickly changed into their clothes, picked up their helmets and hoes, and left the room.
Outside the room, someone had been waiting outside. When they saw the two of them, they said impatiently: "What's wrong with you? You promised to start working at 8 o'clock. You're still so late."
Chu Wei and Zhong Wen apologized repeatedly. The man sighed and said, "My name is Qian Sen. I am an old worker here. I have taken you to mine the mineral these days. From tomorrow, you must appear at 8 o'clock."
Chu Wei and Zhong Wen agreed, but Chu Wei smiled bitterly. The eight in the morning here is equivalent to the eight in the evening in reality. He has to work for eight hours. In addition to the time for meals and daily necessities, he has to leave the game at 10 in the morning.
In this world, you leave the game at 10 o'clock in the evening, which means you can stay in this world for up to fourteen hours.
Chu Wei felt it was a bit difficult to accept the game arrangement. Unlike previous games, the time of the game here is constantly developing, and even the characters of the game will change. If you don’t come in for a day or two, your work will disappear and the indigenous people here will be alarmed.
From this point of view, I really don't want a game.
However, it is these incredible settings that make this game very difficult. How to arrange time reasonably and how to better allocate energy in reality and games requires careful consideration.
Chu Wei and Zhong Wen followed Qian Sen and walked towards the mine.
There, four new miners were waiting.
Qian Sen stood still and explained the precautions to the six newcomers. After several instructions, he took these people to climb the mountain.
There were dozens of mine caves on the mountain, and people kept entering. Qian Sen walked upwards, walked to a cave, and walked in.
Qian Sen took the six people into the cave, pointed to the surrounding cave wall, and said, "This will be your mine in the future. Let's dig here. Let's watch my movements later."
Qian Sen said, lifting his hoe and slamming it hard on the wall.
bite.
The hoe collided with the hole wall, making a slight sound.
Seeing that the hole wall was intact, Zhong Wen shouted: "With such a great force, the hole wall has not changed at all. When will it be dug?"
Qian Sen glanced at him and said angrily: "You guys come closer and take a look."
A group of people surrounded and found a protruding stone. There were some tiny cracks at the root of the stone near the cave wall.
Qian Sen said: "Although iron ore is hard, it is only a little harder than stones. These protruding iron ore only have one contact force. As long as we use some force and work hard, we can shake the stones down. As for those smaller sizes, there are tools here, hammers and iron chisels. With these tools, digging iron ore is not that difficult."
While explaining, Qian Sen demonstrated several times and handed over the usage of these tools to everyone.
Chu Wei and Zhong Wen looked at each other in a hurry and quickly grasped the key points.
Chu Wei chose a stone close to the ground, swung his hoe with both hands and smashed it down. With a bang, the iron ore came down.
Qian Sen saw this scene and smiled and said, "No, good, very strong, and the position of the hoe hit is very good. You have learned very quickly and are already very good."
Chu Wei felt helpless. Of course he was outstanding. Although iron ore and coal mines were different, the principles of mining were still the same, so he could easily do this.
However, Zhong Wen, who was standing by, had a hard time. He first tapped with a hoe, which made his hands numb, and then picked up the hammer and iron rod to pry the tiny ore. It took a lot of effort to knock down a few pieces, which made Qian Sen, who was standing by, shook his head.
Zhong Wen rubbed his painful arm and said, "It's so unlucky. It's so troublesome. Moreover, he doesn't have the skill proficiency to dig an iron ore. It seems that this is not a life skill, and there is no way to obtain higher-quality iron ore by improving skills in the future."
Chu Wei then discovered this problem. In the past, online games had a mining skill, which was divided into many levels according to their proficiency. The mining speed and mining quality of different mining levels are different, but in the game Epic Continent, there is no level differentiation.
It seems that everything depends on one's own consciousness. If you have experienced such experience, the mining speed will be fast. Zhong Wen sat in the office all day long, and even if he followed suit, the amount of minerals collected was difficult to compare to one-tenth of his own. From this point of view, this game is really difficult.
However, Chu Wei didn't think too much, so he raised his hoe again and started digging.
