Chapter 51 Work
Gu Yanxu spoke first: "Base Commander Gu had someone take us to see what positions are suitable for us."
Xiao Yang and I went to the base's routine law enforcement department; each of us can earn 350 contribution points per month.
Lin Zhou: "I went to the research project department of the base and was responsible for some daily machine and vehicle maintenance. I earn about 400 contribution points a month."
Lin Fan said, "I've temporarily gone to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of our base to be responsible for publicizing the base's various requirements, which costs 340 contribution points per month."
Lin Feng scratched his head: "I've been noticed by the military. They want me to train their soldiers for 380 contribution points a month."
Bai Tang: "That's good. You guys are busy outside, and I'll take care of the logistics at home."
Lin Fan compared the figures and found that he had the lowest contribution points among them, with 340 per month.
"Why are people who are good at talking and those who do mental work paid less?"
Bai Jiyang patted him on the shoulder: "Brother Lin Fan, it's easy to be good with words, but Brother Fan's words are the best. I have high hopes for you!"
Everyone burst into laughter instantly.
After eating and tidying up, everyone went to wash up.
Bai Tang brought out a set of bathing facilities for each of them in their bathroom.
Let them install it, so I can take a shower from time to time.
After they had all washed up, Bai Tang told Gu Yanxu about the Mu Mu Space Contract.
Without saying a word, Gu Yanxu was about to sign the contract, saying, "If this is something good for you, I will definitely listen to my wife."
After they finish washing up, I'll go and call them to come and sign as well.
Bai Tang led Gu Yanxu into the space, called Mu Mu over, and asked Mu Mu to sign a confidentiality agreement with Gu Yanxu.
The same operation, the same flash of golden light, and another contract appeared in Bai Tang's mind.
Gu Yanxu asked, "This contract won't affect Tangtang, will it?"
Mu Mu: "It won't affect anything~ My sister gives me food and is so good to me, I would never harm her~"
Gu Yanxu was relieved and then had Bai Tang take him out of the space.
Gu Yanxu went to Bai Jiyang's and Lin Fan's rooms and knocked on each door, saying, "Come to the living room after you've finished washing up. I have something to say."
A short while later, the group of them, dressed in their pajamas, came to the living room.
After everyone sat obediently in a row on the sofa, Bai Jiyang asked, "What's up, brother-in-law?"
Gu Yanxu: "It's your sister who has something to tell you."
Bai Tang: "Let me take you into the space first."
As they were talking, Bai Tang led them into the space.
Mu Mu floated over: "Hello everyone~ We meet again~"
The group waved to Mu Mu: "Yes, we meet again."
Bai Tang said, "I brought you in here to tell you some things about this space."
For the safety of the space, Mu Mu will have you sign a confidentiality agreement in a little while. Don't worry, this agreement will not have any effect on your health.
This is to prevent you from finding a partner in the future and then telling her about the space or betraying her by telling others.
Once you try to inform outsiders of the existence of this space in any way, your memories of the space will be instantly erased.
Therefore, you all have to sign this contract. Brother Xu has already signed it.
Bai Jiyang was the first to step forward: "Sister, I'll go first. As long as it's something that's good for you, I'll definitely be the first to step up."
Gu Yanxu said from the side, "Ahem, I'll be the first one this time. Xiao Yang, you can wait until next time."
The serious atmosphere dissipated considerably because of Gu Yanxu's words.
Then Lin Fan, Lin Feng, and Lin Zhou also rushed to speak:
"Sister-in-law, this is your space, we definitely can't tell anyone. Mu Mu's contract is very useful."
As they were talking, they all went to Mu Mu to sign the contract, and then four contract certificates gradually appeared in Bai Tang's mind.
After signing the contract, the group headed towards the fruit trees planted nearby.
Each person picked some fruit, and then Bai Tang led them all out of the space.
After leaving the space, they all went back to their rooms to rest, as they all had to go to work the next day.
As night deepened, Bai Tang and Gu Yanxu went to bed to rest.
In the cold winter days, their ordinary days seemed warm and fulfilling.
The next morning, Gu Yanxu and the others went to work after breakfast, leaving Bai Tang and Guan Tou at home, one person and one cat.
Bai Tang looked up at the crossed-out calendar. Today was December 21, 2090. It was already the winter solstice. She went back into her space to look for some things she needed for the winter solstice.
So that when they come back in the evenings, they can have a lively Winter Solstice celebration.
Of course, dumplings are a must for the Winter Solstice. Bai Tang took out several bags of frozen dumplings from her stockpiled supplies: one bag of pork and scallion dumplings, one bag of chives and egg dumplings, and one bag of pork and celery dumplings.
Three large bags of dumplings are enough for them; each bag contains three kilograms.
Bai Tang then found some grilled skewers and desserts.
After having dumplings in the evening, we can have some grilled skewers and dessert.
They dug up a few fresh radishes from the vegetable garden in the space, planning to make a radish soup for them that evening to warm them up.
After Bai Tang had prepared all the food for dinner in the space, she chatted with Mu Mu and Guan Tou for a while.
Then she took the canned food out of the space, since the temperature difference between the space and the outside was quite large.
Spending too much time in a space can lead to a dependence on that space.
Therefore, Bai Tang and the others usually don't stay in the space for too long.
After leaving the space, Bai Tang sat on the sofa with the canned food, then casually picked up a book from the table and started reading.
Bai Tang is currently in a state of peaceful capybara-like tranquility, not wanting to do anything. As long as there is no danger, she wants to be content with the status quo.
Gu Yanxu and the others all have lunch provided by their workplaces, so they eat at their workplaces.
Bai Tang was the only one eating at noon.
Bai Tang first prepared some cat food and raw meat and bones for the canned food.
Then she took out a serving of scrambled eggs with tomatoes, a serving of sweet and sour pork ribs, and a single serving of rice.
They ate in the living room, and the canned food even came over while they were eating.
Bai Tang ruthlessly pushed aside the can of food that was trying to sneak a bite from the brain.
"Kittens can't eat sweet and sour pork ribs, these are mine~"
The cat meowed as it went to eat its cat food.
Bai Tang slowly savored this hard-won time alone.
It felt as if she were all alone, with no one to disturb her. Bai Tang, a socially anxious person, really loved this kind of life.
She was really exhausted. After eating, she tidied up her things and then lay down on the sofa.
Since her rebirth, Bai Tang has been in a state of constant worry.
Now, when she's alone, she suddenly feels relaxed.
At this stage, a "give up" mentality has arisen, which is why I don't want to work. I don't want to have to work a 9-to-5 job in this apocalyptic world.
In her previous life, when Bai Tang's parents were still alive, the reason she took the postgraduate entrance exam was because she didn't want to graduate and start working so early. However, now that the world has ended, there are no job opportunities left.
Bai Tang simply didn't want to work, but she had already learned everything she needed to know during her school years.
Moreover, Bai's parents taught Bai Tang and Bai Jiyang a lot by example.
Bai Tang was simply experiencing a temporary emotional outburst, which is why she was avoiding such a real issue as work.
Besides, she has so many supplies in her space that she doesn't need to work at all. Gu Yan and the others are just doing their jobs to cover their tracks.
Otherwise, how would so many of them survive? So, given the choice, Bai Tang chose not to go to work for the time being.
