"But..."
Mr. Li turned around to look at the boy lying on the bed, rolling around and mumbling. He couldn’t find a way to respond, and, after a while, muttered in a daze.
"But... how dare you interfere with Master Mang."
"Because I think gathering daily data from so many people must be a really tedious task, and you’re just good at it, plus there’s exactly a need for soone like you on the train, so it’s natural to recomnd myself."
"You..."
"What’s wrong with ?"
"Your process isn’t right! Success can’t be that simple!"
Mr. Li felt like his values were being shattered. He struggled to accept it: "If you have the skill to recomnd yourself, why were you only earning thousands a month before?"
He always thought.
Talent is like the crap in one’s belly; only when a tip shows from the rear can others see that you have talent. Otherwise, no matter how much crap you have, others won’t be able to see it.
So his thinking was always about showcasing talent.
And this boy taught him an even simpler and more direct thod.
Throw it on soone else’s face.
"?"
The boy lying on the bed spoke with a little annoyance: "Mr. Li, I’m just a youth from a small town with nothing, what can I recomnd myself for? Also, I was recomnding you, not myself. You’re the one with the skills, not ."
"However..."
"Hmm, in the end, it was my proposed plan that succeeded, so I deserve so credit for it. Let say upfront, I don’t understand any of this, so you’ll have to be patient when teaching at the start."
"Alright."
After a long ti, Mr. Li finally nodded heavily. He took a deep breath and turned to look out the window, feeling full of ambition, even straightening his back a little.
In any case.
The plan was finally a success, and he had finally beco a middle-level manager on the Constant Star Train. Now was his ti to shine!
Just then—
The door of the Level 6 Talent carriage was pushed open, and Li Shiji walked in holding two warm pork buns. After a slight pause upon seeing Mr. Li and the boy, he then burst into laughter.
"Looks like your plan succeeded?"
"Huh?"
Mr. Li froze in place, looking at Li Shiji with confusion.
"Huh, during your discussion last ti about suppressing the slave revolt, I was lying behind you eating. From what I heard, your plan had been in the works for a while but kept failing. Didn’t expect that it suddenly succeeded now, not bad."
"Why were you lying down to eat?"
"After digging mines all day, my back was killing . Can’t a person lie down to eat?"
The boy next to Mr. Li rose with a proud smile: "Mr. Li and I are responsible for the daily iron ore and Fixed Star Coupon data collection and verification. We receive Level 3 talent treatnt."
"That’s a nice gig."
Li Shiji sighed with envy: "That job can be done continuously, unlike . After completing the maze work, I have no idea what to do next. Master Mang hasn’t given new tasks, making feel a bit guilty even when eating bread."
"I was indeed lonely in this carriage before you guys ca, but now we have soone to chat with."
"Want a pork bun? I just heated them."
"Well..."
Mr. Li hesitated before asking Li Shiji, "You ca from Carriage 5? Pig Train Captain just told Ji Chuchu is in Carriage 5, and not to enter it casually."
"Oh, you an that?"
Li Shiji waved his hand: "Currently there’s only Ji Chuchu living in Carriage 5. Old Pig set up so bed curtains for her, passing through isn’t a big deal as long as you don’t lift the curtains and sneak inside."
"I just heated two pork buns for you, think of it as a welco gift. I’ll go heat so more later."
"Hey..."
"These are much better than slices of bread. I’ve been able to eat over a dozen every day for the past few days, really satisfying!"
"Oh right, haven’t had a smoke in a while?"
Li Shiji chuckled and pulled a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, tossing it to the two of them: "Master Mang just rewarded with 100 Fixed Star Coupons. I bought two packs of cigarettes, spent 4 Coupons, take a pack and smoke it."
"Aren’t you saving to buy a refrigerator?"
Mr. Li took the cigarette pack with both hands and passed it to the boy next to him: "Many people are planning to save their Fixed Star Coupons to buy a refrigerator."
"That’s not as comfortable as living in this carriage, there are plenty of good things in the shop."
Suddenly rembering sothing, Li Shiji got up and walked over to the pair: "Pig Train Captain put the shop inside a refrigerator, which is in Carriage 11. Let take you to see it. I’ll cover your expenses."
"Since we’re all Level 3 talent, we can receive two Fixed Star Coupons a day."
"That’s enough to spend."
"Co on, accompany to check it out. Luckily, everyone else is working now, so the shop isn’t crowded. We can take our ti browsing."
...
On the Constant Star, inside the train chamber.
Chen Mang sat at the control panel, looking at the robot and... a loosely assembled tal box in front of him.
Yes.
Back then the drone dropped a box, and when it opened, the robot crawled out. When it left, it also took the box. Although he hasn’t noticed anything special about it so far.
It’s not a Special Tool.
Moreover, the box can’t be reassembled; it’s loose and flimsy. But since it’s part of the S-class difficulty job transition, I’ll collect it and stuff it in the refrigerator for now. I have a Level 10 refrigerator right here in the train chamber.
