After Xia Ruofei parted ways with Dhaka, he took a taxi to the hotel he had booked online.
The Binster Hotel was one of the few hotels in Arulei that accepted online reservations. It was claimed to be a five-star hotel, but when Xia Ruofei checked in, he felt that it was about the same as a four-star or three-star hotel in China.
The key was that the facilities looked old, and the service was even worse. Perhaps it was because Africans were naturally lazy, but Xia Ruofei did not feel the hospitality of a five-star hotel.
The most obvious manifestation of this was that there was not a single employee at the front desk who could speak fluent English. Xia Ruofei spoke and gestured and finally managed to communicate with them.
After getting the room card, Xia Ruofei picked up his backpack and took the elevator to the room.
He had booked a large executive suite, and the room price was 300 USD per day.
At this point, Xia Ruofei could not help but complain inwardly. Arulei's economic development was extremely backward, but the prices here were not as cheap as he had imagined.
On the contrary, the cost of living here was much higher than in Huaxia.
In fact, it was not just Arulei. Xia Ruofei had also noticed this when he was in Ethiopia.
Taking a taxi would cost 20 to 30 USD, and a meal would cost at least 100 to 200 USD.
Xia Ruofei had also asked Dhaka about this out of curiosity. Based on this level of spending, how did the locals who only made 50 to 60 USD a month survive?
After Dhaka explained to Xia Ruofei, Xia Ruofei finally understood.
It turned out that the locals would not spend like this. The big shops, restaurants, and taxis were mainly used to earn money from foreigners. When the locals needed to buy things, they would not go to the supermarket. There were many roadside stalls here, and the things they bought were much cheaper than in the shops.
Fortunately, Xia Ruofei had a lot of USD and Huaxia currency in his space, so it did not matter if the cost was higher.
In fact, in many parts of Africa, Huaxia dollars were as strong as the US dollar. It could be said to be a hard currency. You could even use Huaxia dollars to buy things. Merchants were more welcoming of it.
After Xia Ruofei entered the room, he was already mentally prepared for a room that did not meet the standards of a five-star hotel. He did not care too much about the living conditions. Instead, he released his spiritual power to thoroughly inspect the room.
Compared to the comfort of living, Xia Ruofei obviously paid more attention to safety.
Xia Ruofei was quite satisfied with the results of the inspection. There were no messy things in the room.
He hung up the 'Do Not Disturb' sign and locked the door.
Then, he walked to the window and quickly observed the situation outside. Then, he closed and locked the window and drew the curtains.
With a thought, Xia Ruofei took out several pieces of jade from the Space and waved his hand to arrange them in place.
This was a very simple formation, and its function was relatively simple. It was an early warning.
Once someone opened the door and came in, it would inevitably trigger the formation. At that time, even if Xia Ruofei was in the space, he would still be able to get an early warning.
This way, when he was in the space, he did not need to separate a trace of spiritual power to alert the outside world.
After setting up the formation, Xia Ruofei stepped into the bathroom and locked the door.
Generally, when he was outside, Xia Ruofei tried to avoid entering the space. However, he had to go in today, so he could only be more cautious.
According to the current arrangement, even if someone sneaked in or a waiter accidentally broke in, Xia Ruofei could immediately come out of the space and put away the Ring-Tu space. Then, he would create the illusion that he was in the bathroom.
Xia Ruofei summoned the Spiritual Map Scroll from his body and carefully stuffed it into a towel on the towel rack. Then, with a thought, he disappeared from the bathroom.
In the next moment, he appeared in the vast space of the Spirit Map, the Mountain Sea Realm.
This place was different from a few days ago, especially around the mobile housing where Bao Guijun and the others lived. It was like a construction site.
The 30 sets of mobile housing that Xia Ruofei sent into the space had all been unpacked by Bao Guijun and the others, and some parts were roughly assembled together. However, the remaining assembly work needed Xia Ruofei's help to complete.
Assembling the mobile housing was not a very technical job. Bao Guijun and the others' work efficiency was getting higher and higher. Finally, they finished the preparatory work in the time set by Xia Ruofei. Under the supervision of Xia Qing, they also roughly flattened the land around the mobile housing.
All that was left was the final assembly work.
The reason why Xia Ruofei was in Alurai and had to come in to complete the assembly work was because these mobile housing might come in handy next. He went to deal with the Mo De Organization, not only to completely eliminate future troubles for Song Qiming, but also to add some free labor to the Ring-Tu space.
The moment Xia Ruofei appeared in the Mountain Sea Mirror in the Spirit Map's space, Xia Qing immediately sensed it. In a flash, he appeared in front of Xia Ruofei and respectfully called out, "Greetings, Master!"
Bao Guijun and the others also came back to their senses and hurriedly trotted over and shouted, "Hello, master!"
This group of people had completely given up on resisting. Their flattering appearance was completely different from the death warriors of the Mo De Organization.
Xia Ruofei nodded indifferently and said, "Time is precious, so I won't talk nonsense. Hurry up and start assembling the mobile housing!"
"Yes, master!" Bao Guijun and the others replied loudly.
With a slight thought from Xia Ruofei, the semi-finished parts scattered everywhere slowly floated up. Then, he accurately found a set of mobile housing parts and used the invisible power of space to place them in the corresponding positions.
Bao Guijun and the others immediately climbed up the ladder with their tools on their backs and used bolts and nuts to lock these parts one by one.
There were still too few people in the space. This was the strong feeling Xia Ruofei had after completing this work.
Thirty sets of mobile housing, because of the lack of manpower, could only be assembled one by one.
By the time all thirty sets of mobile housing were assembled, more than ten hours had passed.
Bao Guijun and the others were so tired that they almost collapsed to the ground.
Xia Ruofei looked at the results of these ten hours of work with satisfaction and said, "Everyone has worked hard. Xia Qing, give everyone more food. Consider it my reward for them. There's no need to deduct points!"
"Yes, master!" Xia Qing said without hesitation.
When Bao Guijun and the others heard this, they suddenly felt as if their strength had returned. One by one, they rushed to express their infinite gratitude to Xia Ruofei.
Xia Ruofei waved his hand and said, "Okay, okay! After eating, take the time to rest. Everyone worked overtime today, so you can wake up an hour later tomorrow! "
"Thank you, master!" Bao Guijun said excitedly.
They had already passed the initial stage of fear. Now, it seemed that Xia Ruofei, as their master, was quite benevolent. Although there was heavy work every day and there was no freedom, at least their lives were not in danger. Moreover, they also clearly felt that living in this environment, even if they were so tired that they didn't want to move their fingers on the first day, they could still be energetic the next day.
These days, everyone felt that their physical fitness had become a lot stronger.
Xia Ruofei said, "Remember, as long as you are loyal to me and no longer have any illusions, you will be able to live more and more comfortably. Except for the lack of freedom, you will feel that this is heaven in the future! And... soon, you will have new companions. When the time comes, if some of you perform better, I can consider selecting a few managers! "
Bao Guijun and the others were even more excited when they heard this. Becoming a manager meant that they didn't need to do heavy physical labor, and it would be easier to earn points. Their living conditions would also be greatly improved.
Since Xia Ruofei wanted to get some newcomers, those who had arrived here a few days earlier would have an innate advantage. As long as they worked hard, it was very likely that they would become managers.
From this point of view, it seemed that becoming the first batch of free labor was not a bad thing.
Xia Ruofei simply encouraged everyone's morale and took Xia Qing to walk around the area.
Originally, there was only one mobile house here, but now it had become a small village.
The thirty-one mobile prefab houses were arranged in five rows, with six mobile prefab houses in each row. In addition, the mobile prefab house that Bao Guijun and the others lived in occupied a row at the front of the row.
This mobile house "community" had also planned the roads, drains, and so on in the community. In addition, each mobile house had a toilet, and the basic living facilities were already in place.
Xia Ruofei decided to wait for the newcomers to come in before further remodeling. For example, he could connect a water pipe from the distant river and connect the mobile house community with running water.
As for electricity, it was a resource that was temporarily in short supply in the space. Moreover, there was no distinction between day and night here, so electricity was indeed not a necessity.
Of course, as more and more people came in the future, this problem would eventually have to be solved.
Xia Ruofei encouraged Xia Qing with a few sentences, and then left the space with a thought.
He put the Spiritual Map Scroll back into his body, and then immediately used his mental power to investigate. He didn't find anyone peeping nearby, so he opened the door of the bathroom and walked out.
He had been in the Ring-Tu space for more than ten hours, and now it was already about four o'clock in the morning outside.
Xia Ruofei simply made some food to fill his stomach, and then lay down on the bed to catch up on sleep.
After the baptism of the unique taste of the airplane meal, Xia Ruofei now had no interest in the local delicacies of Arulei. He didn't even have the slightest confidence in the hotel's restaurant.
Anyway, there were a lot of ingredients in the space, and there were also a lot of supplies stored. For example, things like feces were piled up in the space.
Of course, those things were mainly prepared for Bao Guijun and the others. They could use points to exchange for these survival supplies from Xia Qing.
Jet lag was not a problem for a cultivator. Xia Ruofei easily adjusted and wasn't affected at all.
As long as he wanted to sleep, no matter what environment he was in, no matter if he was sleepy or not, he could enter a deep sleep state in a very short time. This was also the result of his years of training in the army.
Xia Ruofei slept until two or three o'clock in the afternoon.
After waking up, he went to the bathroom to wash his face, and then sat on the bed to cultivate for a while with yuan-crystal. It wasn't until five o'clock that he stood up energetically.
Xia Ruofei took the elevator downstairs and strolled on the streets of Arulei for a while. With a backpack and a camera around his neck, he looked no different from an ordinary backpacker.
But when he went into a public toilet and came out, he changed his appearance.
Not only did he change his clothes and appearance, but he also put away his camera and backpack into the space and replaced them with a cross-body bag. In addition, he also used the disguise detection skills he learned in the army to make his skin slightly darker. In addition, he deliberately adjusted his muscles and bones, making him look like a completely different person.
Now, Xia Ruofei didn't have a trace of Huaxia's characteristics. He looked more like a person from Southeast Asia.
He waved down a taxi and asked the driver to take him to the nearest second-hand car dealership. It didn't take him much effort to buy a second-hand pickup truck. This kind of pickup truck was about ten thousand dollars when new. The dealership asked for seven thousand dollars. Xia Ruofei didn't even ask for the price and bought it directly.
For such a generous customer, the dealership was naturally very welcoming. Even when Xia Ruofei asked not to go through the transfer procedures for the time being, the dealership agreed. Xia Ruofei guessed that the car's origin was not clean.
