I have a big problem with my Pixel Lord game

Chapter 22 Unemployment Risk, Two Promotions

Compared to the [Insect Bone Heavy Sword] in the hands of the merchant, this [Simplified Blunt Weapon] is really not good enough.

But it costs no money!
By picking up some stones and weaving some straw rope, you can make a weapon with a strength bonus of 1 point. Lu Nan thinks it is very powerful!
Chike also liked this weapon very much. He held it in his hand and shook it a few times.

However, the bluestone was too heavy, Chike's [Strength] was too high, and some tearing sounds came from the straw rope.

Lu Nan asked Qi Ke to stop, and then checked the condition of the [Simplified Blunt Weapon].

The durability has changed from [10] to [9].

It's also not very durable.

Fortunately, there are many rocks and there is no end to the straw rope.

Make more [Simplified Blunt Weapons] and ask Chick to take them over. Just replace any worn ones with new ones.

Lu Nan dragged the mouse and added a [Task Path] to Mibolius, allowing him to make 9 more [Simple Blunt Weapons].

Then, Lu Nan pulled the camera to Chike's body and controlled it to enter the [Land of Death].

Upgrading to level 2 [Land of Death], the thorns used for trials become sharper.

Chike's same trial will also last 4 hours.

However, the improvement of [Land of Death] is related to [Star], and Chike's improvement will definitely be higher.

As for how high it will be, we will have to wait until Lu Nan comes back from get off work to find out.

Lu Nan also arranged work for the two ignorant skeletons who were resting, asking them to build the [Bone Arrow Tower] at the designated place.

After the construction was completed, Lu Nan asked them to quickly collect materials to prepare for the upgrade of the [Tower of Decision] from level 2 to level 3.

After making arrangements, Lu Nan switched the perspective back to his lord's unit and took the nameless bones out of the territory.

Lu Nan had just gone out to pick up rocks to make weapons. Lu Nan was heading west, and there were no trees used for [transformation] along the way.

Lu Nan walked to the north of the territory this time and used up the number of [Reincarnation] transformations refreshed today.

The total number of undead plants reached 85.

There is still no gift of supernatural material from the undead.

However, the number of 100 trees will be reached tomorrow. Lu Nan is somewhat looking forward to seeing if the gift will be triggered again when the undead plants reach 3 digits.

When Lu Nan started [Transformation], Wuming Dead Bones started transplanting.

After Lu Nan completed the transformation, he added a [mission path] to it, asking it to pick up materials after the transplant was completed. When Chik came out, it entered the [Land of Death].

Although the Nameless Bones' agility is too low and it has no combat ability, the increase in [Strength] can make it capable of more heavy tasks and allow it to undergo painful trials, which is still valuable.

No money anyway.

After the arrangements were made, Lu Nan took advantage of the time before going to work to pick up another 20 minutes of material.

While picking up materials, Lu Nan discovered a problem.

The building materials around the territory are gradually decreasing.

Especially within a dozen meters around the territory, [stone] and [clay] can no longer be picked up.

These materials will not regenerate, the more you pick up, the less you will get.

There are plenty of materials in the distance, but the ignorant skeleton responsible for picking up the materials moves very slowly.

And they need to return in advance before the soul fire is exhausted, so as to avoid the soul fire being exhausted before returning to the [Graveyard].

Each time you go back and forth, more and more time will be wasted, which will seriously affect the efficiency of territory development.

Lu Nan planned to let Mibolius try to make a cart. It didn't need to be too complicated. It had wheels and could hold two ignorant skeletons and nameless bones.

Let Chick push them to work, and then pick them back up when their soul fire is exhausted.

In this way, they can save at least 20 minutes of travel time, and can work until they faint.

good idea.

Lu Nan dragged the mouse, pulled the perspective to Mibolius, added a [Task Path] to it, and asked it to try to make a [Cart].

7 points.

Lu Nan packed up, checked his territory again, then closed the game and went out.

He would say hello to Yan Xue in advance today and go home before 7 pm so as not to miss the battle with the Emerald Beetle.

Just arrived at the unit.

Lu Nan received a message from Yan Xue, informing him of the location of Lu Nan's work: "[Fusheng Street], hurry up."

[The seeds of evil thoughts] have been planted for nearly 48 hours. Yan Xue's resistance has obviously weakened, and she is no longer as reluctant to contact Lu Nan as she was yesterday.

And through [Despicable Eyes], Lu Nan knew that she did not suffer from insomnia yesterday and fell asleep as early as him.

The day after tomorrow, the first [Seed] will never be removed, and she will be afraid of Lu Nan her whole life.

After receiving the news from Yan Xue, Lu Nan received the key and set off with Kevin and Chen Zixiu.Lu Nan's mood today is much lighter than yesterday.

At this time yesterday, Lu Nan was silent because he had obtained three 3-star cards and found it difficult to deal with the Emerald Beetle.

Lu Nan played some music and turned down the volume so as not to disturb Chen Zixiu.

Kevin suddenly said: "Brother Nan, have you heard any news?"

Lu Nan stopped at the red light and asked, "What's the news?"

Kevin shook his legs and looked a little uneasy: "I heard that children adopted by the Social Welfare Bureau will be sent to work in the Law Enforcement Bureau.

They are relatively young and will be sent to work when they are over 16 years old. Their salary requirements are also low. I heard that they only need 1500 credits a month..."

After listening to this, Lu Nan immediately understood what Kevin was worried about.

If this news is true, the first to be replaced will definitely be temporary operators like them who do not have lifetime contracts.

Even Chen Zixiu opened his eyes and asked in disbelief: "Where did you hear about it?"

Kevin behaved hesitantly, and ultimately did not say the source of the news. He just said: "If this news is true, what are you going to do..."

Chen Zixiu looked ugly: "I don't know..."

Chen Zixiu, who had been desperately taking care of his sick mother, suddenly learned that he might lose his job. His mood hit rock bottom.

Lu Nan is not very anxious, and even being laid off is not bad news for him - he can focus on the development of the territory without worrying about the AI's suspicion.

The green light is on.

Lu Nan stepped on the accelerator and continued on his way.

The atmosphere in the car was a bit subdued.

Chen Zixiu said in a low tone: "Isn't the salary of 1500 credit coins too small?"

Kevin sighed: "Children adopted by the Social Welfare Bureau do not receive wages at all and can only receive the simplest living guarantee, and the cost of survival is very low.

We earn 1500 credits, but we can't even afford to rent a house. It doesn't matter how much they earn, they all go to the Social Support Bureau anyway.

The Social Welfare Bureau should have settled the account, and they can earn 1500 credit coins. "

Chen Zixiu's tone was a little angry: "Those parents are really nothing."

Lu Nan agreed with Chen Zixiu's words.

The Social Support Bureau seems to be a welfare agency, but in fact it is a business led by the federal government and involving four companies, and it is engaged in a "support monopoly".

If parents give their children to them, they can get a small sum of money. Boys can exchange for 1 credit coins, and girls can exchange for 5000 credit coins.

The Social Welfare Bureau relied on mass production of prosthetics to reduce costs and complete the transformation of these children.

When these children can work, they will be like cattle and horses, maintaining basic survival and continuously creating wealth for the company and the federal government.

And this business can only be done with the approval of parents.

But unfortunately, not all parents are born to love their children. Many people know the fate of their children in the social care bureau, but they still send their children there.

There are even people who treat having children as a business.

Chen Zixiu's anger came from this.

However, in the City of Dreams, all this seems reasonable and does not seem worthy of such anger.

At least Kevin didn't think there was any problem with this. He ignored Chen Zixiu's words and was still thinking about losing his job.

At 8:[-], Lu Nan drove to [Fusheng Street].

This is a street in the DC area. It is a real [rich area]. The people living here are much richer than the residents of [Kate Street].

Lu Nan parked the car, walked out, entered the scene, and saw Yan Xue again.

The two looked at each other.

Yan Xue acted much more normal than yesterday, but her swallowing action still revealed her nervousness when facing Lu Nan.

She moved her gaze away and continued to direct the operators on the scene. No one noticed that this strong and beautiful team leader was afraid of Lu Nan.

Today's case still involves extraordinary people.

The deceased's name was [Mian Kate], and he was the deputy director of the Internal Affairs Department of [Life Technology]. It can be said that he was a very powerful person.

After Lu Nan and the others collected the bodies, they came outside and waited for the on-site investigation to be completed.

While waiting, Chen Zixiu and Kevin were still distracted, obviously still wondering whether they would lose their jobs.

Lu Nan was also distracted, but he didn't have to worry about losing his job. Instead, he was thinking about things in the territory.

And when he saw an operator standing on the street in the distance and casually shaking his fist while waiting, he suddenly remembered something that he had ignored before.

If he exercises, can he also enjoy the bonus of [Fate Reward] and get another improvement?
