The weapon refiner is not doing her job properly

Chapter 122 Connections
"Thanks! If you have any problems, you can contact me after 10 p.m. every night." Shen Zhaoming took out another pair of frameless glasses from his pocket and put them on. There was a chain behind the glasses that connected to a small machine. His refined temperament was tinged with a touch of gentleness, which was very similar to Xingyuan's aura.

Su Ninglong liked this type of good-looking person and immediately agreed, saying that chatting with a handsome guy at night would improve her mood.

The child stared at him with bright, sparkling eyes. Shen Zhaoming explained, "This is a different kind of sealing device. My eyes can always see data about various substances, and the sealing device can help me solve this problem."

Returning to the earlier topic, "If I also get stuck on a question, my roommate might be able to help you answer it."

Shen Zhaoming gets along well with his roommates, and he believes they would be very willing to help Su Ninglong in order to win Lingfei's favor.

Before leaving, he asked, "Does Lian Xinyi know you have a master?"

"Does it make a difference whether he knows or not?" Su Ninglong said, "Just let nature take its course. It's fine if you tell him on your own initiative."

"Okay." As long as Lian Xinyi received favor, Shen Zhaoming said goodbye to Su Ninglong and returned to his post.

……

"Dad, do you know that Shen Zhaoming works in the Star Alliance?" Shen Liwen brought home a basket of fruit he bought on the way. He peeled the fruit, cut it into pieces, and then pushed it in front of Shen Jiajing at the dinner table.

He had investigated Shen Zhaoming before and complained to his mother, but his mother preferred not to tell Shen Jiajing about Shen Zhaoming, fearing that Shen Jiajing would start to pay more attention to Shen Zhaoming.

However, Shen Liwen was still unhappy that Shen Zhaoming could work in the Star Alliance. Shen Zhaoming used to need two helpers to pass the simulator test, and it was hard for him to accept that his status had suddenly been elevated.

Based on my understanding of Shen Jiajing, Shen Jiajing should be more afraid of the rise of Shen Zhaoming and his mother.

Taking advantage of her mother's shopping trip with her "best friends" today, Shen Liwen decided to reveal the truth to Shen Jiajing.

"He joined the Star Alliance?" Shen Jiajing frowned.

As expected, Shen Jiajing was unaware.

"Yes, I don't know how he got in, Dad. Did you help him?"

“I won’t help that unfilial son. Sending Yunfei to rescue him last time was the biggest help I could give as his father.” Shen Jiajing did not hide his disgust for his eldest son.

"Don't worry about him, he's a good-for-nothing. Even if he works, he'll only be a peripheral worker. As for you, have you found a job yet? If not, go for an internship at a company."

Shen Liwen pursed his lips. He didn't want to go to the company for the time being. The company was full of Shen Jiajing's spies, and he couldn't do anything he wanted.

"Dad, can't you just arrange for me to join the core department of the Star Alliance?"

“I can arrange peripheral positions at any time, but for core departments, you have to fight for them yourself.”

"You just don't want to help me."

Shen Jiajing looked up at his son, whose similar features revealed a blatant, foolish probing. He turned his face away, which reminded him of the past, when his father-in-law had looked at him as if he were a fool.

Did you think he didn't want to arrange for him to work in the core departments of the Star Alliance?

Principal Yan and the government firmly control the lifeline of Star Alliance, leaving shareholders with only a pitiful amount of say.

Shen Jiajing also had the idea of ​​turning several high-ranking hunters against him and making them work for him.

However, hunters will find it difficult to progress unless they are corrupted by mysticism, and the corruption brought about by their profession is an even more troublesome problem.

A perfectly healthy person suddenly goes insane, and the resulting deaths are something no ordinary person could bear.

He knew better than anyone that business tactics alone could not shake the foundation of the Star Alliance.

Moreover, those hunters were all proud and arrogant. They would rather risk their lives to become free spirits than bow down and pledge allegiance to ordinary people who had no supernatural powers.

Shen Liwen's long eyelashes concealed the sinister look in her eyes. Damn Shen Zhaoming, how did he suddenly gain special abilities and get hired by the Star Alliance?

If he were to work for the Star Alliance, he did not want his status to be lower than Shen Zhaoming's.

Should I take the White Hunter exam? That way I'll have a chance to enter the Star Alliance core. But the thought of entering the contaminated zone made Shen Liwen's legs tremble. No, no, no, there must be other ways. There's no need to risk my life. My family isn't short of money.

Shen Liwen and Shen Jiajing shared the same idea: even if Shen Zhaoming could get a job in the Star Alliance, he wouldn't be able to work in the core.

The information of the core employees of Star Alliance is kept confidential, and Shen Jiajing couldn't find it even if he wanted to. As for the peripheral personnel, there are too many of them to be of any concern, so they are too lazy to bother with Shen Zhaoming anymore.

Hoping for the best, Shen Liwen behaved himself for a while.

……

Su Ninglong yawned as she placed the newly modified robot in the warehouse. She had been studying at an overloaded pace for several days and needed a little relaxation.

"Ninglong, the mid-year exams are the day after tomorrow. Are you ready? There will be a long holiday after the exams. Are you planning to go home or stay at school?" Xingyuan had to remind her that her classmates were all taking exams, and if she failed a subject, she would have to retake it.

Su Ninglong's mind went blank for a while before she came to her senses. "An exam?"

"Yes, you haven't been reading books on artificial intelligence all the time lately, have you?"

Su Ninglong frowned. Yes, he was right. She had only studied artificial intelligence.

However, she was still confident that she could pass the exams for regular subjects.

"After the exam, can I choose a different subject for the next semester?"

"You can choose to advance to the next level of your current subject, or you can choose a different subject. Many teachers are part-time job hunters. If no one chooses their courses, they won't be scheduled for the next semester."

"So you're saying there are more options now?"

"Yes, if it's a very niche subject, you can even get one-on-one tutoring."

Other children might be intimidated by one-on-one tutoring, but Su Ninglong is more willing to participate.

Some detective classes only have five or six students, making for a very comfortable learning environment.

Su Ninglong pondered that Yun Fei's rescue course could actually be discontinued. Rescue is a course that relies entirely on improvisation, and for someone of her small stature, knowing how to use rescue machinery is enough.

But she was a little reluctant to part with Sally and Yunfei.

Forget it, my own studies are more important. All good things must come to an end. Sally is someone Yunfei can see on ordinary days, and he can contact her whenever he wants.

You might encounter it in other subjects.

Emergency Medical Care can be upgraded to Purification Medical Care. It's still Lena's course, but you can learn about Purification Medical Care pods there. You can't choose Purification Medical Care if you haven't learned Emergency Medical Care.

Mathematics is undoubtedly essential and should be studied; it is the foundation of many disciplines. While there is some overlap between the three disciplines of crime scene investigation, evidence science, and investigative measures and strategies, it is possible to choose to master one of them.

Su Ninglong prefers on-site investigation, which is most useful for entering contaminated areas. She can learn the second stage of on-site investigation.

Mystic Spirits and Natural Creatures are compulsory courses. After the second stage is completed, you can choose the Mystic Spirit Analysis course.

This semester, she only studied the major events of the last hundred years in history. Next, she will study modern history, the history of the Star Age (the history since the establishment of interstellar space, also known as the New Age of Interstellar Space or the Great Integration of Interstellar Space), and the history of the interstellar technological revolution (the period before interstellar connections, also known as the Old Age of Interstellar Space).

Going back further, we see the historical evolution between different ethnic groups, which lasted for about ten thousand years.

Going back further in time, part of history ends here, also known as the darkest hour.

There are still some murals recording the ancient times, but part of the history is interrupted, as if it was deliberately buried.

Funi was mainly responsible for researching the "interruption" part, because this period was the period of great explosion of sacred artifacts, and all the sacred artifacts were unearthed from this period.

Suninglong is interested in anything related to history.

She instructed Xingyuan, "I want to stay at school. Help me apply. Go back to see my godmother every now and then, and stay at school the rest of the time."

Xingyuan knew that Su Ninglong couldn't stay idle. If she chose to spend the entire long holiday in bars, Xingyuan would be worried.

"Okay, I'll arrange it for you."

"It seems like he hasn't been home in a long time," Su Ninglong asked in confusion. "Don't you need to go home?"

"No need," Xingyuan said. "My parents are busy, they don't have time."

"Why do you say your family's financial situation isn't good when your parents work so hard?" Xingyuan's family members are healthy and have no debts, so their financial situation should be quite good.

"Maybe they prefer doing inefficient work." Xingyuan was also puzzled. Diligence might not make one a millionaire, but without extra spending, it was still possible to gradually achieve a comfortable life.

But every time his parents came home, they looked like they had encountered a lot of difficulties. Perhaps the family had some debts. Xingyuan didn't want them to worry, so he had always been very independent.

Now that he's receiving a salary from Su Ninglong, he should spend the long holiday with her, and he also enjoys the feeling of being with Su Ninglong.

With exams the day after tomorrow, Su Ninglong pulled out her books for each subject, intending to review them one last time.

The exams lasted five days, and there were too many subjects at Suninglong, so we had to take them one by one. The exams didn't finish until Saturday.

On the day the exams ended, all students in the gifted youth program and kindergarten class packed their bags and went on holiday.

Sally chose to stay at the school, and Charlie also stayed at the school under Haiyu's arrangement.

They gathered together in the courtyard to discuss their holiday plans.

Charlie's parents are willing to pay for Sally's holiday tutoring, begging her to improve Charlie's grades so he can stay at Star Alliance Academy.

Even Haiyu received their long holiday "subsidy," and generous employers always receive a lot of positive feedback.

Haiyu was happy to be Charlie's nanny during the holidays.

While writing Charlie's study plan, Sally said to Su Ninglong, who was studying, "Two more children have been added to the family."

She wasn't afraid that Su Ninglong would know her dark side. "I don't understand, we're already so poor, why do we still have children? I'm so afraid that I won't even have a job yet, and I'll have to bear all their living expenses."

"You sent all the money you earned from tutoring back home?"

"How did you know?" Sally asked in surprise. "I didn't send it all back; I kept some for myself."

Su Ninglong didn't want to interfere in Sally's family affairs, but she also didn't want Sally to be burdened by her family.

"Have you ever thought about this? They raised you, and although it was for the sake of the tribe's growth, it was mostly for their own benefit. When you send money back home, you think the same thing, hoping to receive their praise, don't you?"

For her own sake? Sally seemed to understand something.

“The spirit of sharing is commendable, but the success of a group cannot rely on one person alone,” Su Ninglong said. “If you really want to change their situation, you should let them learn, learn like you. Whether it’s a skill or mastering literacy.”

Sally's lifeless eyes lit up. "Mr. Haiyu, could you help me contact a skills training class near my home? I'd like to pay for this class and have the clan chief send someone there to learn."

"It's possible, but these skills training courses are very expensive, and they may not achieve the desired results. Because simply learning them doesn't allow everyone to easily grasp the essence of the skills."

Haiyu suggested, "You could send them to the government-provided free skills training social work groups, and then have the social workers go through a lot of trouble to arrange for them to work in a technical unit. I believe these social workers would be very willing to give them more opportunities with a little money."

“The social work team has a limited number of members.” Sally paused her writing. “My family members tried, but they couldn’t get in.”

“At this point, you’ll need to rely on your network,” Haiyu said, pointing to Su Ninglong. “You can consult her.”

Should Su Ninglong thank Haiyu for thinking highly of her?
"Is there anything I can ask you?"

“Oh, right!” Sally exclaimed excitedly, “You have so many friends! Can you tell me how to make friends at different levels? I can go back and meet those people.”

Su Ninglong rubbed her temples. This was a real problem. Was she supposed to tell her that the important thing was to have a high enough social standing, good character, and be able to make money off someone?

"Which social work group do you want to join? There are only two spots available. Tell Xingyuan, and he will arrange it." Xingyuan contacted Bo Li, who knew many people in the bar. Several of the informants there were from civil servants and social work groups. They liked to do part-time jobs after get off work, and part-time jobs from legitimate organizations were allowed.

If that doesn't work, we'll have Assistant Yu make the arrangements.

However, Xingyuan can handle this little matter.

"If you want to develop your own network, you need to make changes. First, you need to study some psychology books, or broaden your horizons so you can talk about anything, or develop a specialized skill so that you can't be blank-minded when others are talking to you. Everyone is different, and when talking to different people, you can maintain your personality, but the topics must change."

Su Ninglong pointed out: "You can't do it now, you can only rely on others. If you really want to help the development of the community, it would be best if a wise person emerged in the community and he (or she) became the leader."

Sally suddenly had a clear vision of what lay ahead.

Because of their skin color and scales, the Green Scale People have long been considered by many to be a symbol of stupidity, but in reality, most of them are simply honest and straightforward.

The elders in the family have a wealth of life experience, but they lack flexibility and adaptability.

For sustainable development, a qualified leader is needed.

"I know what to do! Thank you, Ninglong. You truly are my best friend; you always give me the best advice." Sally decided to go home after the exam results came out.

I hope Sally really understands! I'm just afraid that after all that trouble, we'll end up back where we started.
