Planet of Sand and Oasis of Iron

Chapter 360 359. Work for a day, play for a day, then work for another day?
The onboarding process was incredibly smooth, and even Sefer was wondering if there was something fishy going on.

The star is about to arrive, but the entertainment company did not do any publicity and preparation a month in advance. With the last-minute cramming, the entire satellite city is running at high speed... It doesn't seem fake.

After getting the work certificate card, piecing it together and nesting it in his own identity, Saifu was quickly employed as a transportation logistics worker.

There wasn't even any on-the-job training because he only had one job.

From a certain place, drive the truck provided by the entertainment company, transport the designated items from here to there, and be charged by the job.

It's not easy to say, because the other party requires Safe to have driving experience - not to mention any driving experience, as long as he can drive the car and not hit any flowers or plants, he will be hired.

This alone eliminates most people, because those who hold guns may not necessarily be able to drive, but those who drive can definitely be used as filler babies to some extent.

Entertainment companies don't need filler babies, they just need people who can do the work.

"So, even though the process was ridiculous, the result was good. Now I have the honor of becoming a transporter for their company... But then again, this company is really interesting."

While driving, Sefer reported the situation to Leica. This car is just a car, and the entertainment company doesn't care about the leak of this place at all.

"They were promoting a very influential celebrity, a household name throughout the desert, but they didn't do any pre-promotion."

"Even in the satellite cities, I was doing the relevant preparations, but I didn't see any publicity or products related to celebrities."

As he spoke, Seifer glanced at the staff member walking by the car, carrying a large pile of flyers and preparing to go to the Academy City. "They just started preparing today. At their speed, if they pass the approval, it will only take two days."

Leica couldn't quite understand this.

She hesitated for a moment before answering, "Perhaps, precisely because they're an entertainment company, they don't promote their content internally. Because what's needed internally is work, not faith?"

"That explanation makes sense. Oh, I have some good news. I saw the entrance to the hole that went down."

Traveling along the transport road, Seifer saw a "hole" in the satellite city between the buildings of different styles, where heat seemed to be surging upwards.

Or it could be called a man-made dungeon. According to what Seifer heard from the workers around him, the whole city was filled with an indescribable, foul smell.

It's the smell of heated sulfur. There should be a lava lake underground in this place.

On the bright side, at most we'll see a lava lake. They might be planning to get some lava back for some natural mineral analysis, or develop hot springs.

Just like Xiaoxia who tinkers with the hot springs every day.

Driving away leisurely, Seifer unloaded the goods in the designated area. After receiving a salary token, he unexpectedly discovered that this thing looked quite fancy and was actually a round plastic coin.

Round, plastic?
Holding these tokens with a subtle look on his face, Seifer drove back to the loading point. He was assigned another transportation task by the other party. When he was transporting the supplies to a certain area in the satellite city, he asked the man how to spend the money.

"This is an employee benefit we provide to you within our company. You can use this token to purchase various daily necessities within the company at relatively low prices."

Seeing that Seifer was a newcomer, dirty but efficient at work, even doing tasks like moving boxes without taking a breath, the other party thought he was a good young man and was happy to answer his questions.

Of course, this also has something to do with him being just a part-time worker. "Besides buying daily necessities, you can also exchange it for currency outside. However, I suggest you don't exchange it, because it has other uses."

The man casually pointed in a direction, southeast with great precision. "There's a good place in Satellite City. Newcomers will want to try it. Do you know those slot machines?"

It is completely clear. We even confiscated a batch of them before. Not only slot machines but also horse racing machines were confiscated. I just don't know where they are now.

Seifer shook his head silently, and the man immediately became excited and told Seifer how fun the thing was - even though it was just a trolley case, even though it was just watching the rollers on it flip.

But it has magic, a kind of magic that can make you feel happy just by looking at it, and even put aside all the unhappiness and unpleasantness in reality, and the boundary between fantasy and reality becomes blurred.

If you win the jackpot, you will feel so happy at that moment. Even if you lose everything, you can earn it back by working and suffering for a few more days.

In short, there are only benefits and no harm, so in this satellite city, employees of entertainment companies like to play machines or cards after get off work.

As for whether the company is cheating and setting up some kind of fund recovery device?
Come on, brother, for such a big company, the daily cash flow is beyond the imagination of ordinary people. It is not generous at all to pay out such a small amount of money for food and still have to recover the funds.

And on the bright side, at least it's not like after a one-month probation period we'll just make full use of people and resources and let the newcomers travel around the world at the same time, right?

After listening to this, Seifer nodded thoughtfully and continued his delivery work. He looked exactly like an ordinary employee.

He spent the entire day like this, and since he didn't need to eat, drink or rest, Seifer even earned twice as much as the others who came in at the same time.

Ah, those are all those salary tokens. After a little thought, Cypher decided to make some noise, so that at least a guy of a higher level in the satellite city could come forward.

So he told Leica that he wanted to go to a place to spend money to have some fun and spend the money he had - this statement made Leica sound a little dissatisfied.

But it was only a little bit. She pulled out information about casino facilities opened by entertainment companies in other cities and told Sefer that some entertainment equipment was best not to touch.

Because that's what really brings back the money. The rest is used to motivate employees and make them addicted to this form of "entertainment."

Regardless of the external reputation, the internal reputation... Seifer glanced at the city, which had entered the night phase of rotating work, and shrugged.

"It's okay. After all, I don't really win money entirely by luck. You forgot, there's an actuary genius in the technical department."

At this point, Seifer had already walked to a large building that covered a large area and looked extremely ordinary from the outside, but the interior decoration was magnificent and brightly lit.

The entertainment company is specifically opened for internal employees and people who may have the opportunity to work here, and is responsible for comprehensive facilities such as entertainment, daily life and even accommodation.

Switching contacts, Cypher connected the four people from the technical department. "Xiang, are you still busy analyzing the composition of the crawler foot?"

There was a slight pause. "Let's take a short break. We won't be researching right now... If we don't have enough circuit breakers and hacking devices, the teacher will need to come back to replenish the equipment."

"That's not necessary. Please help me wake Momo up and keep an eye on her. Our goal isn't too high... just a small victory."

Xiang didn't know how much a small goal was, but she knew that when Momo saw the entertainment company's casino, her eyes widened - that was, an expression of interest.
