Huang Chen only felt a toothache.
But before he could say anything, Montpellier turned his head again, his red eyes flashing, much smarter, and he said in surprise, "Commander!"
"You finally woke up, right?" Huang Chen was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
Montpellier was a little embarrassed and said defensively, "It's easy to get distracted when you're on duty alone."
"Your behavior just now can't be explained by distraction." Huang Chen teased.
Montpellier didn't seem annoyed. He just smiled and asked, "Commander, would you like to visit the water purification station? The purification tank there is actually quite interesting, but it gets boring after looking at it for too long."
"It's okay, I've already checked. I just saw you sitting there in the duty room, so I came over to check on you."
"Oh, don't worry. I'm just waiting for the big sister. She will come to pick me up soon." Montpellier said with a smile.
Huang Chen nodded, "Okay then, I'll be leaving first. Bye."
"Well, goodbye Commander, goodbye Joan of Arc." Montpellier nodded, watching the two of them disappear in the shade of the trees on the path outside the door without blinking.
After leaving the water purification station, Huang Chen and Zhende slowly walked along the path towards the dormitory area.
Jeanne was a bit nervous. Where should she go next? The time was awkward: a little early for dinner, but a little too late to go shopping elsewhere.
Just as she was struggling, she suddenly heard Huang Chen's voice, "Joan of Arc."
The girl was startled and almost dodged.
She let out a long breath and looked at the commander, only to see a thoughtful expression on his face. "Tell me, isn't there something wrong with the way we're on duty?"
Chapter 832 A Little Later
Jeanne blinked, a look of confusion in her sky-blue eyes.
Duty mode? What duty mode?
Shouldn't we be thinking about where to go next?
Her mind was in a mess, and the idea that had just begun to emerge turned into a tangled mess again.
She pursed her lips and stared at the commander, not knowing what to say.
Huang Chen didn't notice the girl's hesitation. He just touched his chin and said thoughtfully, "The way they're on duty, they all seem a little bored."
"Boring?" Joan of Arc pondered the word and suddenly discovered some details that she had not noticed before.
Indeed, whether it was Cavour, or Fuso and Montpellier who came later, they were all sitting alone in the duty room, looking a little dazed, as if they didn't know what to do.
"Yes." Huang Chen nodded. At first he didn't notice anything, or even if he noticed it, he didn't care. But later he gradually realized the problem.
Being on duty is actually very easy.
There was nothing much to say about the warehouse, and there was no chance of any sneaky thieves appearing in the port area.
Both the power station and the water purification equipment operate automatically. They just need to pay attention and control the scene in time if an alarm occurs.
It stands to reason that doing such work should be an easy and enjoyable thing.
But the problem is that work is too easy and enjoyable, and people can't even find the meaning of work.
He walked along the path for a while, found a bench to sit down, looked at Jeanne and said, "I think it might be because the division is too detailed."
There are not many people on the path, but there is a bench for rest every hundred meters or so.
Painted black and hidden among the neatly trimmed bushes, it looks quite simple and natural.
"Detailed? Isn't it true that the more detailed the work, the better?" The girl frowned, probably understanding what Huang Chen meant, but still confused.
"Even if it's detailed, it would be too much..." Huang Chen leaned back in his chair and looked at the branches overlapping each other above his head.
It was already autumn, and many leaves had begun to turn yellow and fell sparsely to the ground. However, the path was very clean, obviously cleaned regularly.
He looked away, then at the girl beside him, and asked, "You know there's a points system in the harbor now, right? You can earn extra points by being on duty or something."
"I heard from Algeria that it's like accepting a mission. You just need to register for the shift and then go on time." Joan of Arc said after thinking for a while.
Huang Chen continued to ask, "What do you think of this system?"
Jeanne pondered for a moment and then said slowly, "I feel this system is very good. It not only meets everyone's basic needs, but also, to a certain extent, satisfies the further needs of some companions."
She didn't understand why the commander suddenly brought up this, but she still slowly expressed her thoughts.
"The system is pretty good, but the problem lies in the on-duty tasks that earn points." Huang Chen said slowly, "Guarding warehouses, cleaning streets, helping out in the cafeteria, patrolling, and attacking... There are so many scattered tasks in the port area, but they are too many."
Joan of Arc was confused again. More? Aren't more ways to earn points the better?
Huang Chen continued, "It's like driving a screw. Assembling and disassembling things are fun, but when it comes down to just tightening a screw and turning a wrench, it becomes boring and tedious."
“The original intention was to open source it, but the port area didn’t have that much work, so we had to break up a complete project into pieces.”
Jeanne nodded, somewhat understanding what the commander wanted to say.
Huang Chen looked up at the fallen leaves, all kinds of thoughts running through his mind.
Warehouses, water stations, power stations, these facilities are available on the island where Elizabeth and her friends live.
After all, it is infrastructure, and we cannot live without one of them.
But at that time, only one person was needed to guard it. The person on duty he met last time he came here was Neptune.
Now, in order to expand job opportunities, they are forcibly divided into three positions. At first glance, it seems reasonable, but the three jobs are becoming more boring than the other.
Guarding the warehouse is relatively easy, as people come to the warehouse from time to time. But for the power station and the water purification station, I can only sit in the duty room and stare blankly.
However, Huang Chen knew that the key to the problem was not how the work was divided.
There are actually many ways to make your job less boring, such as having three people guard the warehouse and letting them play poker together, which naturally will not be boring.
But you can get points by just sitting in the warehouse and playing poker. If you get too many points, what will those who attack and clean up the port think?
But if the points earned at one time are too few, then what is the point of this position?
The crux of the problem is that there is still too little work to do in the port area and too little that can be done, which leads to this situation.
“It still needs to be open source.”
Huang Chen sighed and decided to discuss this issue in detail with Qiye and the others tomorrow.
He paused, then stood up and extended his hand to Jeanne, "Let's go."
The girl was stunned, her expression a little bewildered. "Isn't the commander thinking about the work in the port area?"
"You can't just sit here and think!" Huang Chen looked at the girl's dazed expression and suddenly felt it was a little cute. He couldn't help but reached out and poke her face.
"Things like this won't lead to anything just by thinking about it. Should we go somewhere for a walk, or should we go eat first? Then we can go somewhere else for a walk?"
Jeanne nodded following the pressure of his fingers, then suddenly realized, "Can we still get together after dinner?"
"Of course, or do you have something else to do?" Huang Chen asked back.
Joan of Arc immediately shook her head, and the two strands of hair beside her ears swayed, giving her a light feeling.
Huang Chen chuckled and walked with the girl under the shade of the trees. The chirping of insects could be heard from time to time, and it seemed a little distant among the woods and bushes.
"Sorry, Jeanne, that sword practice we talked about last time might have to wait for a while."
As they walked, Huang Chen suddenly said, "At least until the lack of substantive work in the port area is resolved, he probably won't have any free time."
This time, it will take at least a week, right?
"Ah, well, don't worry about that. I know the commander is very busy every day." Joan of Arc waved her hand and said nonchalantly.
Huang Chen could only smile bitterly. Is he busy? In fact, he is not busy most of the time. It just happened that something unexpected happened at this time.
"Since I can't come to see you for a while, could Joan of Arc stay with me for a while today?" he continued.
"Of course, it's okay for me to be back a little later in the dormitory." Jeanne nodded and smiled, "Actually, although I say I'm accompanying the Commander, it's actually the Commander who's accompanying me."
Huang Chen's mouth curled up slightly. He stopped and looked back at the girl. "I don't mean at night. I mean, later, later."
Chapter 833 The most important thing is...
Later, later.
We have already talked about after dinner, and we even need to go for a walk after dinner.
Then when is later...
Joan of Arc thought about it, and the next moment her face suddenly turned red, and her white neck began to sparkle with a bright light.
"Commander's meaning, Commander's meaning is..."
She muttered to herself, repeating helplessly, but she didn't dare to look closely at the commander in front of her.
"What I mean is, Jeanne, are you willing to be my wedding ship?"
Although he said this, Huang Chen took the girl's hand, took out his ring and put it on her without hesitation.
The girl was stunned for a moment, and then the lights came on brightly!
It took a long time for her to calm down, her face still flushed and her eyes staring straight at the ring on her finger, as if she still couldn't believe it.
"I'm a little worried about the night." Huang Chen rubbed his eyes, still feeling a little dizzy.
Unexpectedly, this sentence seemed to stimulate something, and the fluorescent light that had just gone out lit up again.
It was close to his face, more powerful than a flashbang.
"Commander!" Joan of Arc was a little embarrassed and annoyed. What night?
"Sorry, sorry." Huang Chen squinted his eyes and hurriedly comforted the girl, but he really began to worry about the evening. Otherwise, he would prepare an eye mask later.
He pursed his lips, looked at the girl's shy expression with a hint of joy, and finally did not say it out loud.
If I tell the truth, I'm afraid Joan of Arc won't be able to calm down today.
Let's take a step by step.
Thinking of this, he led the girl back.
We came here in a truck, which was shaking for less than ten minutes, and then we walked slowly with Joan of Arc on the way back, but it still took a while.
By the time we arrived outside the royal dormitory area, it was time for the lecture hall get out of class to end.
After class, you don't necessarily rush to the cafeteria. You may also rush home to read novels and comics. Anyway, dinner is not like lunch. You have to eat quickly and take a nap after eating.
You can have dinner around five o'clock, or you can have dinner around seven o'clock.
The path inside the dormitory area is not wide, about two meters wide, with low walls built with bluestone on both sides, forming small courtyards.
The roadside drainage ditch was empty and had a few clumps of weeds growing on it.
The little ones were running and jumping on the cement road. In some houses on the roadside, people like Mingren or Cheshire were telling everyone to be careful and watch out for the stones on the ground.
Huang Chen had a faint smile on his face, greeting everyone along the way, and walked slowly with Joan of Arc.
After a while, they arrived in front of Hood's yard. In the pavilion next to the small building, the blonde girl was still sitting behind the table, quietly flipping through a book.
Huang Chen greeted her from a distance, and left the royal dormitory area with Joan of Arc and continued forward.
After leaving the dormitory area, we entered an area with some community buildings.
When passing by before, Huang Chen did not go to these places because he thought the target was the warehouse.
But now he was somewhat aimless, so he and Joan of Arc took a quick look around and strolled around casually.
There are fewer people in the clubs than expected, probably because there are too many clubs and there are not many people in each club.
However, most clubs do not need a very large activity room. They only need to use a small room the size of a classroom in the club building.
After all, only a few kendo clubs have built an entire kendo hall specifically for this purpose.
It is worth mentioning that because the Kendo Club built a Kendo Hall, the basketball hall became vacant, but now no one is using it, so it is just empty.
Huang Chen and Zhende visited several nearby clubs and even took a detour to take a look at the club building.
In fact, the scenes were all similar, scattered, and there were not many people in the club. He didn't say he wanted to experience anything, but just said hello.
Of course, it could also be because he arrived a little late and the girls in the club had all gone out to eat.
However, I did feel the girls' thriving imagination, and strange clubs like sleeping clubs and slacking clubs emerged one after another.
Of course, he didn't take it too seriously. He just joked about it a little and left.
After leaving the club building, the two slowly walked towards the cafeteria. Jeanne was no longer as shy as before and said in surprise, "I feel like these clubs are really interesting."
