Is it really okay to click on the Star Technology Tree on the Star Dome Railway?

"I seem to have seen that young man...I forgot where exactly."

"Tsk, tsk, why do you care about this? He must be a homeless man from somewhere... Stay away, don't let the blood splash on me later."

"..."

Some of the people around them muttered that they were far away from the two of them, but their eyes would look here playfully from time to time, and the word "eat melon" was basically written on their foreheads.

But the next scene shocked these people who had no information.

In fact, Xier doesn't like strangers staring at her, especially the weird looks from strangers of the opposite sex. Before, she would have taken out a knife angrily and prepared to kill someone, but she didn't have such an impulse now.

instead……

Instead, I felt a little uncomfortable.

"I haven't washed my body. Is there any dirt on it?"

The first thing Xi'er thought about was whether she hadn't washed herself thoroughly after taking a shower after finishing her work. Her face looked down in panic and she immediately lowered her head to check.

The job of supervisor in a coal mining area is not easy. In the past, few people would mine large amounts of this dark mineral. Most of the time, homeless people would get some to burn for warmth.Loose coal is not strong enough, has larger holes in the middle, and occupies more volume than other fuels. On the surface, it appears to be a very short-lasting combustible material that releases energy.

If the upper zone hadn't forced them to look for other minerals that could provide heat, the miners probably wouldn't have even looked at this thing.

It's dirty and not durable. In Xi'er's opinion, its only advantage is its large quantity...

I have witnessed so many miracles along the way. Xi'er has unknowingly learned how to take care of other people's feelings. After knowing that Chen Lin likes to be tidy, she will take a shower and change her clothes every time she comes over to meet after work. Clean laundry.

It’s not for anything else, I just don’t want to be disliked.

After discovering that Chen Lin was staring at her non-stop, the only thing Xi'er could think of was which part of her body might be dirty and attracted the attention of the young people traveling with her, so she worked hard to find it.

"Stop looking for it, it's not dirty." Chen Lin stopped her movements and explained: "I just found that you are a little childish."

In Chen Lin's words, Xi'er's state was described as that of a primary school student who had received pocket money from his parents and happily invited friends with whom he was close to treat and spend money at the canteen. His little tail was almost raised to the sky.

"How much salary did Mr. Oleg pay you? You are so happy, tell me about it."

After seeing that it wasn't her dirty clothes that attracted attention, Xi'er sat back on the bench and replied angrily: "500 Winter City Shields... I told you earlier, I thought I would change into the dirty clothes I wore a few days ago."

"So many?" Chen Lin was a little surprised.

This amount of money may not buy much in upper-class areas, but it has great purchasing power in lower-class areas.

He cheerfully stretched out his hand and said: "Sister Fu, V me 50 to see my strength."

Xier: "?"

"What do you mean?"

"I want you to share 50 yuan with me."

It was just a joke, and Chen Lin didn't think too much about it.

Before time travel, he and a few friends liked to go to the group chat and use this sentence to reply with +1 after a guy boasted about buying something expensive and outrageous in the game.

Unexpectedly, Xier seemed to take it seriously. By the time Chen Lin reacted, she had already put several Winter City Shields into Chen Lin's hand.

"Don't spend it randomly... I don't have much money." Although her eyes were full of reluctance and distress, Xi'er did not hesitate in her actions, and she did not forget to whisper her instructions.

Chen Lin: "?"

I'm just talking about it, does this girl really give it to me?

Originally, Chen Lin planned to return the money. Xi'er had lived a hard life for so long and finally had some income, but he still took one-tenth of it.

Although he is almost penniless now, if he wants money, he can get it at any time, so he won't bully a little girl, as if he is a gangster asking someone to pay protection money...

Not to mention that the two of them should actually be Chen Lin paying protection money to Xi'er now, because Xi'er had to drive away the gangsters who tried to pester him.

Even if she can handle it by herself, there is nothing to say about Xi'er's role as a guard!

After thinking about it, Chen Lin decided that it would be better not to return it, so as not to hurt the little girl's self-esteem.

If not, just think of it as the elders helping the younger ones save their lucky money.

The dishes were quickly prepared and brought to the table by the waiter. The two of them ate very simply. Chen Lin ordered pickles with fried rice, while Xier... was slurping the noodles like crazy.

Chen Lin, who had nothing to do, took his mobile phone and replied to messages while eating slowly.

At this moment, a figure passed by the alley in the distance, and then hurriedly retreated.

After the other party saw Chen Lin and Xi'er eating together clearly, he immediately rushed in and shouted: "Chen, Brother Chen, Brother Chen, Miss Xi'er, it's not good, out, out... something big happened!!" "

The shouts behind him startled Chen Lin and he almost spit out the food in his mouth.

Looking back, I saw a young man with blue hair in overalls.

I know this man, Chen Lin. He is a civilian member of the Earth Fire. He has a bit of a stutter, but he is very smart and has a certain degree of professional skills. His name seems to be Joshua, and Chen Lin has taught him. A lot of mechanical engineering stuff.

Oleg said before that he was an accountant who had been practicing for two and a half years.

Chen Lin put away his cell phone silently and helped the panting Joshua onto a stool.

"What happened?"

"Materials, supplies, supplies are cut off!"

Chapter 83 We unite, we fight, and we will never compromise!

The sounds of scratching and talking came from in front of the greasy wooden table.

"Short--"

"Today is, it's the day to exchange supplies. Boss Oleg asked me to take charge..."

"Hey~"

"But after the earth marrow was handed over, the things on our list never came down! As a result, I... uh."

"Zi Liu——" Another well-timed voice interrupted Joshua's narration.

Chen Lin really didn't hold back. He held Xi'er's hand picking out the noodles and said with a twitching corner of his mouth: "Xie'er, I asked you, little girl, if you can eat a little slower..."

"I'll eat mine, and you can continue talking." Xi'er tilted her head, not understanding what Chen Lin was doing, "Or do you also want to eat my noodles?"

Then he said happily: "I'm telling you, don't judge the quality. In fact, these noodles are very delicious!"

After saying that, Xi'er picked a sip and put it into Chen Lin's bowl, her little face drooped.

"Besides, I'm thinking that this isn't a fight. I definitely can't help. I can't do anything else besides being responsible for eating."

"Then you are quite self-aware..." Chen Lin, with black lines on his head, said: "Keep your voice down, don't delay talking about business."

"Oh, well."

Xi'er buried her head and murmured, her movements much gentler than before. Although she still made some noise, it was not to the extent that it affected her speech.

Chen Lin patted the young man next to him on the shoulder and called a waiter to pour a glass of water: "Go on, what happened to you next?"

"Eh...oh!"

Joshua recovered from his surprise. He had wondered if he was dreaming just now. Why did Miss Xier, who always spoke harshly in the organization, be so obedient to persuasion...

But if you think about it carefully, it seems right. Mr. Chen is usually very kind. No matter where he meets, someone will take the initiative to say hello. When you stay next to him, you can always be infected by his behavior, unconsciously. I want to use him as a benchmark to regulate my actions.

Moreover, it was so easy to talk to Mr. Chen, without any airs that a person of his level should have!

"Here, drink some water first. Don't be in a hurry." Chen Lin took the water glass handed by the waiter and put it in front of Joshua. "No matter how anxious you are, things will not be reversed immediately. Take your time."

"Yeah, yeah!" Joshua nodded excitedly, holding the water glass, and a feeling of being respected emerged in his heart.

After calming down for a while, Joshua continued: "The supplies we applied for were not available, so I wrote a letter of inquiry according to the method taught to me by my predecessors."

"It took a long time to receive a reply, saying that we were harboring criminals and that all the materials requested would not be sent to us!"

"But there are many old people in the lower-level areas who have been convicted. I-we didn't know who it was, so we went to ask."

Having said this, Joshua lowered his head in disbelief.

"But those, those bastards! They actually called you a criminal. I, I couldn't accept them insulting you, so I couldn't bear to write a reply to them. I got into trouble..."

Chen Lin raised his eyebrows.

"Then what did you reply?"

"I call them bastard beasts! They don't care whether we live or die, and they deprive us of our supplies. They are the same as that tyrant in Clipper Palace!"

Joshua looked very disappointed, "I don't care too much, but they said that in the next three or three months! We won't be able to get all the supplies in the upper area, and they still want us to continue to hand over the earth! Oh! Boss Liege will ask me to come to you when he finds out..."

"Well cursed!"

boom!

Xi'er, who had been burying her head in murmuring, suddenly raised her head and slapped the table, gritting her teeth and turning pale.

"Those sons of bitches should have been scolded a long time ago! The quantity and weight of the things on the previous list always didn't match up. Someone in the upper area must have stolen our things, and they still had to explain the loss during transportation."

"Bah! This kind of nonsense can't even fool a three-year-old child in the lower district, but it dares to be so grand... Huang, uh, dare to use it to fool us?"

"If Leader Oleg and Nata hadn't stopped me, I would have gone up and chopped them all off! What a bunch of moths, white-eyed wolves, ungrateful beasts!"

"You still want to get the earth's marrow for nothing? What are you daydreaming about! They can't even get a single stone from the lower area!"

Many passers-by around saw Xi'er getting angry, and after overhearing a few words, they were filled with indignation. However, in order to avoid the possibility of being accidentally injured by the violence, the people who did not know the truth hurriedly stayed away from these people.

In the past, Xi'er could only curse a few words casually, and then it would be over. Everyone almost did this on weekdays, and no one would care.

But now she not only wants to scold, but also tries to convey a message to everyone verbally, that is, she plans to go against the upper class.

The confidence for all this comes from the rapid development speed of Panyan Town. The textile industry, heavy industry, and chemical industry are all developing in an orderly manner. To be honest, the lower-level areas are basically short of light industrial products and food. These are the two things that Yue and the upper zone exchange the most.

Although there are some medicines, the upper-level areas themselves are relatively short of it, so it is impossible to allocate too much to the lower-level areas. After all, the gentlemen live above, and medicines and medical equipment need to be stored in case a big shot of a big family suddenly gets sick.

Regarding the above-mentioned things, everyone in the lower area knows that the problem is that they dare not speak out. Food and ingredients are heavily controlled by the upper area. If they really don’t give anything, the food reserves in the lower area will not last long and will be exhausted. , when there is a famine, I don’t know how many people will starve to death...

It can only be said that Cocolia is really good at playing here, directly strangling the lifeline of the lower area to stimulate people's instinctive desire for survival and compromise.

The question is... doesn't the lower zone also firmly control the lifeline of the upper zone, the "earth marrow"?

"Well..." Chen Lin glanced meaningfully at the aggrieved Xi'er, thinking about something in his mind.

No matter where you are, the boss is the one with the gun. If the lower area cuts off the supply of earth marrow to the upper area, I believe that after being forced into a hurry, Clipper Palace will most likely order the Iron Guard to go to the lower area to rob it directly. This should It's not something hard to guess.

The earth's marrow is a heating resource. Clipper's shelter cannot completely allow the people to survive in the wind and snow. Necessary heating methods must also be provided, otherwise panic in the city will begin to spread at an unexpected speed.

Fortunately, there is only one main enemy in the city, and it is that guy who needs to be dealt with, not the civilians living at the bottom.

After sitting on the bench and pondering for a long time, Chen Lin thought of a way.

"Don't panic, it's useless to panic, not to mention they should be the ones to panic." Chen Lin reached out and pushed Xi'er back to his seat to prevent this girl from affecting the store's business. "They won't give it to us. We have it ourselves now. , What are you afraid of? Just go against them."

Joshua reminded: "But, but food..."

"Do you still remember the hydroponic farm I took you to help build?"

Joshua thought for a few seconds before reacting and said: "Those weird big sheds?"

"Yes!" Chen Lin reassured, "It won't take long for the crops to be harvested. Don't worry about food."

The nutrient solution that comes with the hydroponic farm really puzzled Chen Lin. When he was in the upper area, he observed carefully that it only took 20-30 days from sowing to harvesting.Such a wonderful phenomenon of growth and development, if nothing else, the time alone was enough to make him, a star scientist, confused.

The key is that the output is still large enough!No need to worry about pests or diseases!

Chen Lin only needs to redeem these supporting items for free every month and give them to the farm to replace. The most complicated operation is to build the framework and equipment like building blocks.

"So don't worry, our lower-level district is self-sufficient, and we don't need to deliberately serve those uncles." Chen Lin said with a smile: "Just tell Mr. Oleg what I said, he can understand what I mean."

"Then, let me go back first, Mr. Chen?"

"Well, you can go back and report it first. If there are any questions, we can discuss them during the meeting at [-]pm."

A few minutes later, Chen Lin saw off the strutting Joshua. From being in a hurry to being confident now, it took less than 10 minutes in total.

Chen Lin picked up his chopsticks and was about to continue eating, but when he lowered his head, he was stunned.

"Where's my bowl? Where's my rice?"

Looking at Xi'er, he found two huge empty bowls in front of her, rice grains still stuck to the corners of her mouth, and her big bright eyes met his.

Seeing Chen Lin looking at her, Xi'er scratched her ears awkwardly and immediately felt confident again.

"I think it will take a while for you to finish it. I'm afraid you won't be able to eat it if it's cold, so I'll help you eat it first."

"Then I thank you?" Chen Lin rolled his eyes at her.

Before she finished speaking, the store owner brought over a portion of hot fried rice, and Xier quickly took it and placed it in front of Chen Lin.
