【……】
Su Xia got a line of hints.
He remained silent, clicked [No], and kept the task.
After a long while, Lin Shan came with the three hundred newly recruited members.
Seeing that Su Xia looked unhappy, Lin Shan's heart skipped a beat. He thought that he was too slow, which made Su Xia dissatisfied.
He asked cautiously, "Commander, what happened?"
"It's okay, come and learn some skills."
Su Xia shook her head and said nothing more.
He sat on a bench in front of the warehouse, talking to the players who came to learn one by one, teaching them the ordinary three punches.
Some players entered the game later and did not learn the skill of [Titanium Affinity], so Su Xia also taught them.
After these guys got the skills, they were all very excited. They clenched their fists and promised Su Xia solemnly: "Commander, I will definitely fight for the glory of the human race!"
"Okay, remember what you said today."
Around noon, everyone finished learning the skills and excitedly ran out of the camp to find monsters outside the camp to try out their skills.
Lin Shan remained where he was and asked carefully, "Commander, is there anything else you want to tell me?"
" No, take care of them." Su Xia said calmly.
"yes."
Just like that, Lin Shan also left and gathered the three hundred people to go and open up new areas and clear the map together with the previous one hundred people to enhance their relationship.
The players who were not selected were disappointed, but they did not give up.
Everyone knows that the game is still in its early stages and more people will definitely be recruited in the future.
What ordinary players need to do is to work hard to upgrade and become stronger so that they can stand out in the next recruitment.
Su Xia sat quietly at the door of the warehouse, looked at the situation around the camp, and then clicked the bracelet.
【Offline】
He returned to the dormitory, opened the bed curtains, and found that the other guys were already killing monsters in the game.
"How is Li Defu?" Su Xia asked.
"After a checkup, it's not a big problem." He Lie replied: "The doctor said it was a mild concussion. There's no need to be hospitalized. Just come back and rest for a few days."
"That's good."
Through questioning, Su Xia learned that the director Yu Wenshuxue and Li Defu were already on their way back.
He rolled out of bed, took a sip of warm water, and asked the other three people, "I'm going to the cafeteria, what should I bring with me?"
He Lie: "Fish fillet, fish balls, anything else you like."
He Ju: "Tomato scrambled eggs, no eggs."
Li Sihua: "Whatever you like."
"good."
Su Xia put on a black coat and walked out the door.
As soon as he went out, he met several students from the same grade who greeted him, all of whom he didn't know.
"Huo! Pharmacist Su!"
"A famous person!"
"Good afternoon, Pharmacist Su!"
“…”
Although I had a small reputation in the past, people didn’t greet me wherever I went.
Su Xia knew that the impact of yesterday's show was beginning to show.
Now just click on the official website of the game, or open the game channel of other platforms, click on the rankings, and you can see yesterday's show.
On all major platforms, the show ranks among the top three in terms of click-through rate and remains very popular.
Su Xia silently put on the hood of her black coat, took out a black mask and put it on, put her hands in her pockets, lowered her head and walked towards the cafeteria.
When you walk into the cafeteria, you can see that several TVs hanging in the cafeteria are also playing yesterday's program content, and it is played in a loop.
The canteen manager understands the students.
Su Xia did not stay in the cafeteria. She packed some food and went back to the dormitory to eat with her roommates.
While eating, Li Sihua said, "We are now completely famous. My aunt called me just now and said she saw me on TV."
"Several of my former classmates also sent me messages," said He Lie.
"Where's Brother Su?"
"I?"
Su Xia glanced at her phone, shook her head and said, "There were a bunch of messy messages and friend verifications, and dozens of harassing calls. I ignored them."
"Damn, dozens of harassing calls?" Li Sihua was so shocked that he almost dropped the chopsticks in his hand.
"You don't have any?"
Su Xia put down her chopsticks and asked them.
"I only have a few." Li Sihua replied.
"I have more than ten." He Lie looked at his phone and said, "We were not prepared before. Everyone should apply for a new mobile phone card. What should we do in the future?"
"By the way, who leaked our cell phone number?"
"I'm not sure. There were several posts on the forum before. Although the moderator deleted them quickly, some people still remembered them."
"Forget it, this is the price of being a public figure, just bear with it."
“…”
There are more than one billion people in the country, and there are always people who have nothing to do after eating and like to make random phone calls.
Su Xia has turned off the ringtone and vibration on her phone. She will be patient for a while. Once the popularity of the show has died down, there should be fewer harassing calls.
He looked carefully and found that one of the calls was from the mobile company.
I guess the mobile company thought there was something wrong with this SIM card and called to inquire about the situation.
After dinner, Su Xia returned to bed and closed the curtains.
【start up】
The bracelet started up and took him back to the game world again.
This time, he handed over the commander's body to the bracelet, and came to the clone in Coral City.
As soon as he opened his eyes, he heard a deafening sound of an electric drill.
“Buzz—buzz—”
The entire pharmacy was shaking. The water in the teacups on the tables was shaking, and the solutions in the glass jars on the surrounding shelves were also swaying.
It is the Eighth Construction Engineering Bureau under the Urban Construction Department of Coral City, abbreviated as Eighth Construction, the best construction team in the entire city.
The employees of Bajian, wearing gray work clothes and safety helmets, are working outside the store. The basic scaffolding has been set up.
As the head of the urban construction department, Su Jianshe personally supervised the renovation project.
He was carrying a large transparent water cup, like an honest old farmer, with rough and dark skin. He squatted at the door of the restaurant opposite and had a panoramic view of the entire transformation process.
"Minister Su, please sit down. Squatting is so tiring." The restaurant owner, Mr. Zhao, brought out a chair with a smile on his face.
"No, I'm used to squatting."
Su Jianshe stood up and pounded his legs, seemingly feeling a little numb from squatting.
A few curious children were also squatting nearby, watching with their eyes wide open. They were all kids from the neighborhood who had nothing to do after school at noon.
Some children climbed onto the sand pile nearby, or dug holes in it, or piled the sand into various shapes.
Some people also dig through the pile of stones, looking for beautiful pebbles.
“Should we drive these kids away?”
"Yes, drive them away." Su Jianshe nodded. "It's not safe here. Tell the parents to take good care of their children."
"OK."
"This is Master Su's project, and no accidents can happen."
At the same time, another construction project was underway in an abandoned factory area one kilometer away.
The original factory was razed to the ground by the Bajian Group. Workers were driving bulldozers, excavators and other mechanical tools to clean up the rubble in the area. The whole area was rumbling and filled with smoke and dust.
It won’t be long before the world’s first pharmacist school is established here.
As long as the school's teaching model is successful, it can be promoted globally in the future.
By then, pharmacists all over the world will remember Su Xia's name.
After a while, a department member hurried to the old street and said to Su Jianshe: "Boss, Wang Yongqiang from the intelligence department asked us to speed up the project."
"What does he mean?" Su Jianshe asked indifferently.
Wang Yongqiang is the real name of Sijidao.
He found Su Jianshe last night and asked him to set up a pharmacist school for him, and the scale of the school must be larger than Su Xia's.
"What he meant was...his school project must not only be bigger in scale than Master Su's, but also faster in speed. The faster, the better."
"The sooner the better?" Su Jianshe frowned. "Does he want tofu dregs?"
"Well……"
"Go tell him we don't have that much manpower."
"Boss, why don't you go and talk to him in person?"
"how?"
"His attitude is very tough." The department member was a little embarrassed. "Boss, you know that people in the intelligence department are very difficult to deal with. A small employee like me is not at the right level."
"Tough attitude?"
Su Jianshe's eyes turned cold, and he said calmly, "Go tell him that we have limited manpower, and his project will start next month. If he can't wait that long, go find a private company that is willing to take on his project."
"ah?"
"Go! Go now!" Su Jianshe was equally tough and not afraid at all.
"Boss, he is from the intelligence department after all."
"Why? Have you done anything wrong?"
“No…no…”
"Then go!"
"oh……"
The department members received instructions and left in a hurry.
In the pharmacy, Su Xia took a sip of tea. He heard the conversation just now.
The Four Seasons Rice has made a big splash this time, inviting many master-level figures and also planning to open a school.
But how could his school teach on a large scale?
Does he also need to compile teaching materials?
Su Xia was confident that with the help of the two pharmacist experience books, even the teaching materials compiled by a fifth-level pharmacist might not be better than his.
"Two brothers, I'm going to be out for a while. You guys keep an eye on the store. Call me if anyone causes trouble." Su Xia closed the draft he was working on and said a few words to Hong Bafu and Lan Bafu.
"Well, go ahead, brother."
Both of them were refining potions in the corner, and the deafening engineering noise did not affect them much.
This noisy environment is also a kind of hardship for them.
Su Xia left the store, walked across the street, and greeted Su Jianshe: "Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Su."
"It's not hard, it's just my job. Those workers work much harder than me."
Su Jianshe smiled, glanced at the small medicine box Su Xia was carrying, and said, "Master Su, are you going out to save people?"
"Well, several patients should start their next course of treatment."
"Master Su is the one who really works hard."
"Liao, that's great." Su Xia was very modest. "Mr. Su, there are some special materials and wood carvings on the second floor underground of the pharmacy. I have limited knowledge, but if you are interested..."
"Haha, I'm interested, of course I'm interested!"
"This is the key to the second underground floor. Mr. Su can go there anytime."
"key?"
Su Jianshe was startled and asked, "Master Su, do you trust me so much? I heard that there are many priceless treasures on the second underground floor."
"I believe in Mr. Su as a person."
"good!"
Su Jianshe was not a man who would waste time. He directly accepted the spare key and said that he would find time to check it out .
Su Xia left with a small medicine box on his back and treated the patients his father had asked him to treat.
Then he called a taxi and headed to the east area of the city.
Mission [Zhao Qin’s Last Wish], the target location is in the east of the city.
At that time, before his death, Zhao Si told Su Xia that he hoped his wife could find a good family to marry and no longer have to wait for him.
Now the mission has failed.
Su Xia knew that Zhao Qin's wife might have met with an accident.
The taxi headed eastward, the scenery outside the window kept receding, and the prosperity and decline of the entire city flashed by.
The rich areas and slums are one after another, like two extreme and opposite worlds, with distinct colors that cannot blend together, dividing the entire city into two halves.
"Master Su, it's raining outside. Do you have an umbrella?" the driver suddenly asked.
"have."
It was still a sunny day in the south of the city, but it was overcast in the east. Fine and dense cold rain soon hit the car windows.
The world outside the car window was blurry, and the colorful lights melted in the rain, adding a bit of harmony.
After arriving at the location, Su Xia handed the small medicine box to the driver and paid double the fare: "Please help me send this medicine box back to the pharmacy."
"Okay!"
The driver took the money and agreed readily.
Su Xia opened the car door and got out. It was windy and rainy outside.
A cold wind blew by, freezing his bones, causing his black coat to flutter.
He held up a black umbrella, walked on the muddy street, and entered a slum in the east of the city. His cleanliness and neatness were out of place in this area.
The sky was grey, and the fine raindrops hit the umbrella, the sound continued, as if to isolate Su Xia from the sounds of the whole world.
"What happened?"
When Su Xia arrived at the mission site, he saw only the ruins of a broken building.
Heavy machinery was working on the ruins. The logo of the Coral City Urban Construction Department was printed on each machine tool. The roar of the machines was deafening, and around them were countless employees wearing safety helmets working in the rain.
As far as Su Xia could remember, there shouldn't be any recent projects in Coral City that required the demolition of this slum.
Sijidao's school project is also in the south of the city. In order to compete with Su Xia, it is not in the east of the city.
Su Xia held an umbrella and walked around the edge of the area.
This area has become a ruin, so where have the people who once lived here gone?
He found a construction worker and asked carefully: "What kind of project is this?"
"The project of refugee resettlement housing was approved personally by the city lord." Seeing that Su Xia was wearing expensive clothes, the construction workers did not dare to neglect her and answered in detail.
"Resettlement housing?"
Su Xia remembered that the city lord Qi Lang had indeed been arranging some work related to refugees recently, and refugee resettlement housing was one of them.
He then asked: "Why do we need to razed this slum? Isn't there a lot of vacant land in the city?"
In this war-torn city, at least 30% of the area is ruins after the war, such as the area where Fan Lu and Moser fought before.
There are many similar places. It is best to carry out reconstruction work in those areas that are already in ruins, rather than razing places where people already live.
Hearing Su Xia's question, the construction worker said awkwardly: "Alas, all the vacant land in the city belongs to rich and powerful people, we dare not touch it."
"The city lord doesn't dare to move?"
"This... I don't know about this." The construction worker looked around and lowered his voice, "Young man, go away and don't ask any more questions. It won't do you any good to know more."
"Um."
After a few simple exchanges, Su Xia understood.
The Coral City had been cleaned several times, but there were still so many termites alive that it was almost impossible to kill them all.
"As long as the planning is reasonable, such a large coral city can accommodate tens of millions of people."
Su Xia looked up at the gray sky, frowned, and whispered to himself: "There are only a few hundred thousand people now, but the land is not enough. Some people really deserve to be killed."
The construction worker next to him changed his expression and reminded him hastily: "Young man, don't say such things. Trouble comes from the mouth."
