Wang Zheng had been in the Fallen Paradise for a week. Wang Zheng clearly had not enjoyed how the Fallen Paradise had fallen. For a week, he had been mining in the mines. It was a little dark, but not as wretched as he had imagined.
During this time, Wang Zheng had also felt that they had divided the people into a few levels. Even free people were divided into strong and weak. Those who felt weaker were worse off, and were probably classified as one-time consumables. As for young and strong like Wang Zheng, they were classified as long-term users. For them, they had one day off a month, and could withdraw one-tenth of their wages to enjoy in the Fallen Paradise. As long as they had money, they could enjoy anything here.
Of course, the people in the mines were not worried at all that anyone would try to escape. Those who did would meet a terrible end. Besides, with such a thing on their hands, unless they chopped off their hands with an axe, there was no chance. Those with such determination would probably not come here.
Wang Zheng's job was very simple. He worked at least 10 hours, and no one cared if he worked more. Ten people to a team, responsible for one area. Their wages were related to the quantity and quality of the ore they mined. Of course, quantity alone was not enough. If they were lucky enough to dig up a rare ore, there was a chance to change their fate. At least they could make a small fortune.
It was said that someone had dug up a huge sky crystal. Not only had he unlocked the bracelet, but he had also received a reward. Now he had found a job in the Fallen Paradise, and was enjoying himself.
Wang Zheng was not interested in this. He was a very good miner, because they used Hercules mecha here, equipped with shovels, drills, and other mining tools.
He did not play any tricks, nor did he think of killing his way out. Wang Zheng was very calm and diligent in his mining. His weekly output was several times that of the average person. He rested after work and did not cause any trouble.
Even the small leader in his area felt that this young man was a promising talent. Honest and hardworking people were welcomed wherever they went, even if it was mining. Therefore, the food in Wang Zheng's group was slightly better than in other places. At least there was meat.
Although they did not have much time to chat, Wang Zheng still very quickly gathered a lot of information from the others. A Manalasuo who was more familiar with Wang Zheng had already worked here for 10 years. He had forgotten why he had come here in the first place, and he was too lazy to leave. Because he was a familiar worker, he had three or four days off every month, and he could apply for leave. He had not saved any money, and it was basically spent in the gold-squandering den that was Fallen Paradise. People here called him Old Xiao. Perhaps to him, this was a good job.
Old Xiao was a very enthusiastic person, but he also liked to brag. He said how powerful he was outside, that everyone had to give him some face wherever he went, that he could cover for everything, that he was very familiar with the three big shots of Fallen Paradise, and so on. This person was humorous and interesting. Listening to his boastful talk during breaks would make everyone laugh heartily. This brother could actually be a storyteller.
Naturally, no one believed that he was familiar with the three bosses. In fact, he had not even become a small leader. But he had been here long enough, and the small leaders would give him some face on some small matters.
After the meal, everyone returned to their own areas. Each person was in charge of a cave entrance, feeling like a cave master. Actually, working here was very tiring. Besides Old Xiao, who enjoyed it, the others were not too willing to talk. After all, only Old Xiao treated this as a job.
Very quickly, everyone had left. Wang Zheng was not tired. Their area, other than being a little darker, a little more humid, and a little dirty, did not seem to be too dangerous. Clearly, his orientation had earned him bonus points, and he had been assigned to a better area.
Time was still a little far away. There was still more than half a month before he could leave. The Fallen Paradise was controlled by the three powers. If he wanted to complete the mission, it was obviously impossible to stay here. He still had to think of a way to get in touch with the three powers.
Casino? Underground fighting? Or something else?
The key was how to get close. Wang Zheng had looked at himself in the mirror. He did not think that someone like him could hide. If he did not show off, no one would care about him. But if he showed extraordinary strength, he did not think that the people in this place were all pigs. But if he did not show off, how could he get in touch?
Could it be that because he had dug well, they would give him the mining MVP award?
Wang Zheng was also a little troubled. Just as Jiang Feng had said, there were many things that could not be solved by force. Just this one matter had stumped an Earth-rank warrior.
Actually, Wang Zheng also knew that it was impossible not to show off. The key was how to show off, and how to find the entry point.
Tch …
Wang Zheng was thinking when a black figure appeared in front of him, a very serious appearance …
F * ck!
It did not appear when it should appear, and when it should not appear, it always appeared to scare people!
It was Charcoal, whom he had not seen in a long time!
Wang Zheng was just about to tease Charcoal a little, but he realized that Charcoal seemed to have sunk into some kind of sad state.
… Robots could also be sad?
Charcoal just stared at the dark mine without moving, as if it had sunk into some kind of deep thought. Actually, even if there were no restrictions on intelligent robots, Charcoal would definitely not have such an expression. This was not the machine itself, but it really did express such a feeling.
After a long time, Charcoal turned around and looked at Wang Zheng. That resentful expression made Wang Zheng's hair stand for a while.
"Keke, Charcoal, long time no see. You … can you not look at me with such an expression?"
Originally, he wanted to tease Charcoal. Wang Zheng guessed that it probably saw something from the past. Anyway, he and Bonehead were very strange existences.
Charcoal nodded, as if it had not shaken off the expression.
"Why, are you very familiar with this place?" Wang Zheng asked.
Charcoal sighed in a very human-like manner. "This place is very similar to the place where I lived with my master …"
Wang Zheng was already prepared to listen to the story. Anyway, there was plenty of time here. Wang Zheng also wanted to understand the history of the legendary character's growth.
However, just as Student Wang was prepared to listen, Charcoal was stuck in a daze.
"And then?" Wang Zheng could not help but ask.
Charcoal's big eyes lit up, and suddenly returned to its normal adorable appearance. "That's it."
F * ck, were they teasing him? These guys, Bonehead liked to torture him, and this Charcoal liked to tease him. He really wanted to … forget it, it seemed like he could not do anything to them. Moreover, this was his biggest trump card in this world. It could be said that they were his parents.
"Charcoal, why did you disappear for so long? If not for Bonehead's help, I would have died," Wang Zheng said casually.
Charcoal's expression was a little serious. "There's something wrong with your body."
Wang Zheng shrugged indifferently. "Now that I can't feel pain, it doesn't seem to be a big deal. It's more convenient to fight."
Compared to his life, Wang Zheng really did not feel that losing pain was a big deal. At least at that time, Bonehead was still there.
Charcoal shook its head slightly. "If there is no pain, there will be no love."
Wang Zheng shuddered. "Charcoal, don't be so mushy. Could it be that you have become stupid after being in seclusion?"
Charcoal did not seem to be joking. "Losing pain will cause humans to gradually become numb. As time passes, the way of thinking will also change. Being able to feel pain is the prerequisite for humans to maintain order."
Charcoal's words made Wang Zheng sink into deep thought. Wang Zheng was not stupid. Although he believed that he would not change, if he continued to be numb and feel nothing, what would he become?
(Yesterday, I actually went to sleep at 11 o 'clock. When I woke up, I felt very cute. Fight, young man! I beg for a monthly vote, thank you!)
