Infinity Armament

Bloody city workers are the best and the worst.

They are physically strong, skilled, physically overpowered, and can be used by 10 people per person.

They can do whatever they want, 24 hours a day.

They are inexpensive, and their wages are simply too cheap compared to what they pay, and overtime, although tripled, counts as extra hours. That's 16 hours outside of eight hours, and that's three times the amount.

They are versatile, able to do all kinds of work, and can arrange whatever position they want. If you give them battleships, they can even go up and fly them, and they're no worse than the professional soldiers you've trained.

They were brave and fearless. Even in the face of insects, they dared to go up and kill each other. Although the fighting power was worse, the insect that broke into the shelter was killed by a group of workers with a welding gun.

But...

If you don't pay, you'll see the other side of them.

These workers will immediately turn into mobs and smash everything they've built.

Don't think about arrears. For workers, arrears amount to bad debts on a day that we don't know tomorrow.

Don't even think about sending half and dragging half, there's a fucking union of workers here!

The only point of their existence is that they have to pay by then. Not for a minute. Not for one less person!

Not to mention killing them all.

In that case, you will no longer be able to recruit any worker from anywhere!

Not a small number of bases have been torn apart by workers because of computational errors that do not pay salaries.

So when Shen Yi grabbed the bill and looked at the union president's smiling face, even he began to shake.

He hasn't seen anyone tremble since entering the city.

“Are you sure you didn't make a mistake? ”

The young union president bowed to Shen Yi: "I am very certain, General. 2,763 people, including 20 senior engineering managers, will need to pay a total of 135,650,000 Alliance currency plus 203,475,000 Alliance currency for overtime last month. You will need to pay a total of 33,912,500 Alliance currency, which, by the way, does not include the cost of over 300 soldiers who will be looking for you. ”

339,000 points for workers alone!

Overtime alone is 200,000 points!

I don't remember asking them to work so much overtime! aaaaaaaah!!

All right, three times the overtime pay, Shen Yi realized he had forgotten that.

Capitalists are always accustomed to forget everything that needs to be done.

But in the face of this bill, Shen Yi is still going mad.

Ten energy converters have been fully operational for only three days, and previous revenues have been used to compensate for construction costs. In all, 20 energy beads are produced in three days - overlapping radiation zones inevitably reduce the efficiency of the energy converter, and 10 are already the upper limit of the core base.

Which means he's almost 140,000 now!

That's not even the soldiers' salary!

Three hundred and twelve people, including two senior officers, are 31,600 points, good thing they don't have overtime pay at all, but they have a fucking pension, good thing the pension can be defaulted...

In other words, now he has a difference of 170,000 points!

“Can't you hold off for a while?” Shen Yi asked.

That was when Mimi's union president suddenly changed his face and became fierce: “Even if you are a general, you cannot owe our laborers the sweat! Our Fearless Workers' Union will not accept this condition! If you can't pay all your payables by 12: 00 tonight, we won't be working for you anymore. If you can't even pay for overtime, we'll tear down everything we've built! I would also like to remind you that you will only be in arrears for the first month of overtime pay and that starting next month all overtime costs must be paid immediately! ”

He doesn't even call you that in the rage of being in arrears.

Shen Yi took a deep breath.

Shit, even the general won't dare to shout at him now, an NPC worker can't even shout at himself and threaten himself!

The problem is he has to endure it!

“So... well, I can pay all the overtime pay first, then I'll look at the rest of the money, then I'll decide to hire a few workers. ”

The face of the union president improved considerably when he heard that: “If you don't have enough money, you can opt out of the job temporarily and hire us again at any time, but for the convenience of bookkeeping, our pay times are uniform, starting with the first paycheck, and not discounted. This means that if you recruit another Alliance worker a few days later, your salary will not drop and your next payday will remain the same. ”

Shen Yi took another breath of air and nodded: “I know, it's okay. ”

He can only say it's okay.

So the union president laughed more and more sweetly: "Besides, I would like to remind the general of you. We've been working for you for the past month and living conditions have been terrible, of course we can understand your difficulty, so we've endured. Now that the construction of the base is complete, the general also needs to consider the living needs of the workers. In the next month you will have to build us a living area of not less than 100 square meters per capita and we will no longer be able to live in tents. Of course, we built it, but you're still responsible for the wages and the basic materials. There is also a garbage disposal center, where the garbage dump is almost mountainous. ”

“… any more?” Shen Yi was helpless to ask.

“It won't happen again for a while, but as the base develops, so will the need for workers. We recommend that you take more needs into account in your next planning. If you'd like to offer me a little consultancy fee, I can tell you that the workers will need you to add more services each month for the next eleven months. ”

“How much?”

“Ten thousand dollars is enough. ”

Fuck you, that's a month's salary for two workers!

Greedy bastard! Shen Yi almost screamed.

But he did.

Never been so stubborn.

Indeed, as the base develops, the demands of the workers will gradually rise, from the most basic to the need for more and more living conditions.

Better food processing plants, matching living needs, light industry and business development, etc., will make more demands every month until you leave.

This is true of workers, as well as of those recruited, who need adequate living conditions to develop.

If you do not meet these conditions, workers will not strike or riot, but they will be passive, work significantly less efficiently, and get into trouble with you from time to time.

What could have been accomplished by 10 workers would have been developed into 20.

Their work attitude and efficiency will decline from super workers to the level of Chinese workers, and continue to decline to European and American workers, African workers, until Indian workers.

As for shops, workers don't do it, but they can open a base for Interstellar Alliance merchants to come and do business.

Instead of paying their salaries, they can pay some taxes for the base, making money from renting or selling houses alone.

In this regard, the development of the living conditions of base workers is not really a serious constraint, but rather can further boost earnings and reduce spending, except that the demand for upfront funds is too great, and adventurers have a limited presence in the modelling world, making it difficult for adventurers in general to reap the benefits in a timely manner.

Although the construction of the base has been completed, the operation of workers is still necessary for the building function to function. Whenever workers are needed, they are only different types of work, so Shen Yi can only accept it.

Rather than accepting, the needs of workers should be met as far as conditions permit.

If the commercial development within the base can flourish earlier and some gains can be recovered in a timely manner, otherwise it will be forced to build commercial streets when it is time to go, and taxes will not be collected, it will be constructed purely to meet the needs of workers.

But Shen Yi doesn't have to think about it at this time - he has to settle his overtime pay first.

Fortunately, everyone had plans to save money to buy skills, didn't spend the money, and fortunately Shen Yi didn't completely forget to pay his wages - he just forgot to pay overtime.

So he finally had the money to pay off his debts.

But after paying the 200,000 overtime, Shen Yi has become completely poor.

He doesn't even have the money to continue hiring workers, and he can't work without a worker energy converter.

I had to borrow another $100,000 from Merrill.

This time Merrill was impolite, declaring interest at 5,000 a day.

This interest is too harsh, but Shen Yi knows that this cannot be blamed on Merrill. Purgatory Angel Base is also extremely eager for funds. Without this benefit, they really can't lend it. After all, Merrill is not the sole owner of the base.

Besides, he's not a good person, and he can't even count on the base he set down.

But it's okay, when you guys beg me, hum.

The money was only enough to employ 2,000 workers, counting them. Shen Yi eventually chose to leave 1,500 workers behind and another 250 soldiers, but both senior soldiers and senior workers stayed behind.

Shen Yi did not dare to waste time. After obtaining re-employment, 1,500 workers were put directly into the operation of the energy converter, and the proceeds of the next two days were quickly repaid. Then the dismissed workers and soldiers were recruited back, and the difference between 3,000 workers and 500 soldiers was filled. There was no way, early recruitment was a price.

Finally, the insects gave their faces and didn't attack.

As a result, however, plans to add new energy converters, new factories, new construction and the production of armed forces have been delayed for several days directly.

This is a critical few days.

Because this is the best time for the base to develop, and also the weakest time for the force.

Infrastructure had been developed over the past month, and although factories had been established, they had not been able to produce in time.

Production requires both workers and points.

And he didn't have the money to build all of this, not to mention the six planned satellite bases.

Regularly, the next round of insect attacks is imminent and therefore remains a major test for the base.

Unlike the previous round, this time the base had a defensive tent and a stronger defensive force, but, similarly, the base could not stand the torment - if the insects broke through, the losses would be even greater.

Shen Yi had to pray for the Bug Clan to come later.

But the truth is that on the fourth day of the second month, the insects really came back.

At this time, Shen Yi had used the resources of the day to build some troops, but in a limited number, although the overall strength of the base was higher than last time, the problem was that the insect clan of the attack seemed to be stronger than ever - the Copernicus reported, this time around seventy home nests.

The news made Shen Yi feel silent.

Soon, however, he got another piece of good news.

That's when the Bugs didn't divide up a quarter of their forces to attack him.

After completing the initial construction, the Bugs no longer consider this base of the Blade Squad as a new base, but a base with formal defense capabilities.

After all, the insect family can only obtain information through external observation, and it is impossible to know what is inside the base.

The Blade Squad's empty shells hid from the Bugs, making them no longer the main target, and the new main target became the two independent bases exploited by Shen Yi - which they found easier to attack than the Blade Squad.

Thus, with good luck, the Blade Squad's second battle against the Bug Clan was unexpectedly smooth, and the Blade Squad guarded the wave in the face of the same five bug nests under the protection of the fence and the energy tent.

However, this wave of fighting also saw the emergence of some high-ranking insect species.

A group of mammoth beasts that had seen in the wilderness broke through the fence at the last minute and broke into the base, damaging it.

Although it was eventually eliminated by the Blade Squad, there were some losses inside the base, which were not too great and within the bounds of what everyone could afford.

The real bad news is the two independent bases.

As the insects retreated, Shen Yi saw the flames burning over the two bases.

He knew that the base was completely destroyed.

I just don't know if those adventurers are still alive.

If they still have the resources, there may be hope for a comeback.

But if they don't, they can only go to the wilderness to earn some money and then come back and waste more valuable time.

If by the end of the mission the task of killing the High Mother's Nest has not been completed, the only thing waiting for them will be the fate of annihilation.

This is war!
