"Oh, let me take a good look." Zhuang Feifei's friendly smile bloomed when she entered the yard, and then paused on Zhuang Xuteng: "You kid... go to work in the fields! You didn't forget how to clean up.

And add fertilizer?”

"You're going to work as soon as you get back? Can't you let me drink some water?" Zhuang Xuteng rolled his eyes, reflexively wanting to cheat.

"My kettle is over there, making tea. You can drink it. Today we have to complete insect fields No. 4 to 7. Don't forget to take the kettle back when you're done. Also close the door to prevent weasels from running in."

Zhuang Xuteng sighed. In their family, status is linked to academic performance, so he will definitely be sent to work. Zhuang Xuteng lingered in front of the house, changing into deep waterproof boots while observing his parents with the eyes of shadow.

The skin in the center of their backs has been implanted with shadow implants. It looks like the texture is pretty good. It should be the "skin mutation alleviation implant" mentioned by Zhuang Teng.

Skin cancer and other cancers are almost considered occupational diseases among insect farmers. Fortunately, Zhuang Teng found a good job and was able to (barely) afford the relevant medical expenses. Otherwise, in a few years, he would not be more than the fourth in this industry.

In ten years, they will inevitably develop some kind of malignant tumor.

"Feifei, check their health. I'm going to the fields." Zhuang Xuteng put on his raincoat, put on his heavy lead helmet, picked up the net bag by the door and set off. Their family did not live with the town, but settled in the fields.

By the way, you can walk less and do more work.

Today's agriculture has long become a subcategory of industry, and the only thing that has been passed down is the title "farmer". The so-called fields are actually some gray glass greenhouses, each one hundred meters long and ten meters wide, with two

A long row of breeding ponds.

The cement pool has sent away several generations of farmers, and it is also full of scars. Large and small patches, from different periods, with different colors, are all the result of the collision between cement and people.

If it hits the cement, it will break the skin or even break the bones. It will not be fatal easily, but the "growth-promoting light" above the head is another matter. This kind of light is specially designed for breeding "mealworms"

The safety of the workers was not considered at all. Its radiation ability of ultraviolet rays and other harmful rays was just on the boundary line that the human body can withstand, and it obtained the so-called safety approval.

However, as long as the voltage increases and the exposure time is extended, it will definitely exceed the human body's ability to withstand it. Increasing the lighting intensity and time is a necessary means to speed up the growth of mealworms and increase the company's profits. Therefore, all mealworm farms are in a fully capable state.

A check-up should be conducted to completely ensure that the condition will cause tumors.

All methods have been tried. Unless you wear the highest level of isolation clothing and risk being heated to death by the temperature in the room, there is no way to avoid the effects of growth-promoting lamps. If you cannot prevent it, you can only treat it, which costs hundreds of thousands of euros per person.

The cost of treatment is a heavy burden for any family here. If Zhuang Teng had not left the farm and worked as a senior engineer in a well-known company in Peicheng, he would certainly not have been able to afford it.

Zhuang Xuteng complained that he was "always made to work", but in fact he came here not many times. No parent wants their children to live a life where working for up to forty years will inevitably lead to malignant tumors. They have to bear the damage themselves, so

I hope that future generations can find a safe environment and get rid of this fate. Zhuang Xuteng only followed his parents to raise mealworms before graduation, when it was very difficult to find a job. This was just the "last retreat". When he found the Magic Crystal Factory

After I got my official job, I was never asked to raise insects again.

There may be two reasons why he is allowed to come here now - Zhuang Xuteng analyzed in his mind. One is that the tasks in the fields are relatively tight and he really can't stop; the other is that they have already known that he has no job, which is a disguised form.

Let yourself explain the situation quickly.

The news about the collapse of the Twenty-One Magic Crystal Factory was not kept secret. If you want to check it, you can definitely find it. The parents were in recuperation before, so the news may be relatively obscure. How can they not care about the situation of their children after returning home? Just make a phone call to get rid of the magic crystal factory.

Crystal Factory, once I heard what was happening on the other end of the phone, I understood everything.

It is estimated that they are holding Zhuang Feifei now and asking her about her life situation to see if they have taken good care of their sister. Zhuang Xuteng snorted, stretched his net bag into the pool, moved it on the soft mud, and made an open space, and then

He gently stepped into the gray-white muddy water. His job was very simple. He kept picking up the mealworms to see if their shape and color were normal. He picked out the unhealthy ones and put the rest back. After checking, he

Sprinkle the pool evenly with medicinal powder.

The so-called mealworm is a finger-sized white fleshworm. It is chubby, plump, has a flexible body, and is an artificial creature that lacks the ability to move. Its other functions have been cut off, except for absorbing, transforming and storing nutrients.

Its ability has been enhanced. It has a feed-nutrient conversion rate that far exceeds that of any other known organism, and has become the most important food source in modern society.

Unless you step on it deliberately and forcefully, this thing can usually escape from the sole of the shoe. Since it cannot hide or move, Zhuang Xuteng only needs to use a wide net bag to pick it up row by row, and take a quick look to pick out the unhealthy ones that have turned yellow.

, just throw it outside on the ground and wait for subsequent treatment. You will basically not miss it.

This work was very monotonous and boring. There were many times of salvaging and putting down, which also consumed a lot of energy. Zhuang Xuteng regarded it as a physical exercise and worked from greenhouse No. 4 to greenhouse No. 7. Finally, only the last one was left. At this time,

The door of the greenhouse opened and Zhuang Teng walked in.

The two of them look very similar and are about the same size, one is gentle and the other is strong and agile.

"Hey, you're wearing this too?" Zhuang Xuteng stopped what he was doing, looked at his elder brother who was also dressed up, and said he couldn't understand: "My parents asked you to help me?"

"No, I came here by myself." The eldest brother pointed to the pool and asked, "Should I go with you, or should I go to another pool?"

"You go back, I will finish it soon. Why, you won't leave?" Zhuang Xuteng frowned, feeling that something was not right, and said: "I think you should not come down and cause trouble for me. If anything happens, just

Speak on dry land and I listen."

"That's okay." Zhuang Teng put the net bag aside casually. He really has no experience or skills in this industry. "I heard that you changed jobs?"

"Don't be secretive. What do you know? What do you want to know? Just ask."

"Zhuang Feifei sold you and said you would now work as a mercenary, doing the job of licking blood from the blade of a knife."

"Only perverts lick the blood from the blade! I don't." Zhuang Xuteng said while salvaging the meat bugs: "I also want to work well in the magic crystal factory, but it is not my responsibility if it collapses! The mercenaries are also

It’s pretty good. I’ve made money, made friends, and now I’ve opened up new opportunities and gained a firm foothold. I quite like doing this business, and I’m much happier than in the Magic Crystal Factory.”

"But it's also dangerous."

"Isn't the Magic Crystal Factory dangerous? The Magic Crystal Factory collapsed. I almost went bankrupt and almost got Feifei involved. Isn't this dangerous?" Along with the sound of gray water stirring, Zhuang Xuteng's voice was very calm. He said: "I earned

The money was worth the risk I took, or even far exceeded it. I didn’t waste my time and life, this was everything I wanted.”

"Oh...you...I..." Zhuang Teng organized his words and said, "I'm afraid you'll suddenly disappear."

"I am also afraid, so I will try to avoid it as much as possible. It may be easier to understand from another perspective: Suppose I am now a PCPD, fighting gangs every day, earning a PCPD salary, and no so-called extra income. Would you feel better?"

"I'm not a fool. A PCPD like that is more dangerous." Zhuang Teng thought for a moment and said, "But PCPD has pensions and benefits, while mercenaries rely entirely on themselves. In a short period of time, maybe..."

"I have more than one million in my bank card now, and I will have this amount again in the future, and this is the payment from my previous job." Zhuang Xuteng said: "How long do you think I can earn so much money at the Magic Crystal Factory?

?”

The eldest brother was stunned for a moment, then gave a wry smile and said, "Nothing is more convincing than money, right?"

"Of course there is, but I won't tell you." Zhuang Xuteng laughed and said, "To be honest, I was afraid that you wouldn't understand, so I didn't dare to come back until I made money. Now that I have made money, I'm not wanted.

, I was not hunted down, and became more and more popular in the mercenary business, and was even commended by the PCPD. I like this business and there is no reason not to continue doing it.”

"Okay, you've convinced me. All I can say is that you have to pay attention to your own safety." Zhuang Teng hesitated and asked, "Have you ever killed anyone?"

"This question does not need an answer." Zhuang Xuteng said.

"Well, just think that the question just now was my last act of naivety... But that's the past, let's talk about the future. Now that you have money, you should buy yourself medical insurance, and then make some safe investments to leave some pension for yourself.

Money. These things may seem tedious and boring, but they are beneficial after all. I’m afraid you will have too much money all at once and spend it carelessly.”

Zhuang Xuteng thought for a moment and nodded: "What you said makes sense. I don't know how to spend the money I keep, and I don't know how to invest in banks. This is what I think: if I treat my parents, if

If there are any remaining balances or debts, please pay them back first. I know you are stubborn, so just treat it as something I lent to you without any interest, which is better than giving the interest to others in vain, right?"

"Who said I was in debt? Zhuang Feifei? She spread rumors!"

"No foreign debt? Wouldn't that be better? You can help me find some investment opportunities. It is best to get a pension for the whole family. Parents can't always fish for bugs, which is not good for the body. And they want to be safe and secure.

, you have many ways to transfer the money, make it look safe, and find a way to let them enjoy it? "

"Hey... your idea is quite good. Let me think about it... maybe there is an investment opportunity that can really change our family's economic situation."
