I Am Cultivating in the Apocalypse

Chapter 1105 - 1205: Overtime Allowance?

So Jing Shu began to quickly relocate people. Having stayed in this darkness for over a month, even with the Space Spiritual Spring, abundant food, and drinks at her disposal, she still felt stifled.

Besides, having been away for over two months, she didn’t know what the situation was at home, so she needed to hurry up with this task and go back to check.

Jing Shu could predict the turmoil that would follow the discovery of such vast reserves of New Energy in the Heavenly Mountain Range of Wu City.

What she could do now was to quickly maneuver all extraction rights over to Wu City.

Jing Shu remembered that in her previous life, Jun Bao had moved people back to Wu City for the extraction rights, but even then, many new faces appeared, purportedly for inspections, but actually to share extraction rights.

So in this lifetime... she had to fight for Wu City to get as much as possible.

Of course, the pond is so big, she must feed herself first.

Since ancient times, there’s been no case of a cook starving to death, so what’s wrong with the cook sneaking a bite?

Taking advantage of the gaps while she transported people back and forth, Jing Shu also drained some of the thickest energy bodies from the bottom of the pool until she filled the space storing the Dark Energy, and only then did she stop.

But when Jing Shu turned to look, geez, what’s with Xie Jian Country’s resentful and exhausted look? Why did Xie Jian Country look at her like that? Did Xie Jian Country find out something?

Xie Jian Country simply felt like every time this Sister Jing sent away a group of people, his body felt emptier, not sure what trick this sister was up to, but to get out... he didn’t dare to say a word.

So, he could only look at Jing Shu with such a resentful expression.

Jing Shu chuckled awkwardly, "Brother Xie, don’t worry, once we find the way out and everything is arranged outside, we’ll bring you out."

Xie Jian Country immediately perked up: "No rush, no rush, as long as I can see my family, anything goes. But the thing you’ve got blocking the ’border’ is a bit uncomfortable, is that thing going to stay there?"

What Xie Jian Country was referring to was a Big stone that Jing Shu had blocked underwater, with a rope tied to its ends, something Jing Shu did out of fear of losing a connection.

This thing staying there made Xie Jian Country feel a bit uncomfortable, like something was stuck in a place it shouldn’t be, unpleasant!

Jing Shu was slightly embarrassed, "Initially, it has to be like that."

"What about later?" Xie Jian Country had hope.

"If nothing unexpected happens later, it will still be this way... so you need to get used to it yourself."

Xie Jian Country: ...then what are you even saying.

"Seriously, who can get used to having something stuck... and these things going in and out..."

The next second, Jing Shu added, "But I’ll report this issue and give you some extra compensation, like covering all family employment, providing independent housing, you get lifetime six types of insurance and one fund, and besides a monthly salary of ten thousand Virtual Coins, there’s overtime pay, fifteen Virtual Coins for each hour of overtime."

Xie Jian Country gulped, after a month of interaction, he already knew the purchasing power of one Virtual Coin.

With the average person’s salary being just a few hundred Virtual Coins a month, he was already considered high income, plus overtime pay.

Xie Jian Country asked, "So... what counts as overtime?"

Jing Shu smiled, "For instance, with this thing stuck, it counts as overtime. Oh, did you just say you weren’t used to it? That’s fine, I get that it’s hard for you..."

Before she could finish, Xie Jian Country declared earnestly, "I love overtime, I love it! Sister Jing, I just love having things stuck in the border spot, don’t you dare remove it!"

Jing Shu’s lips curled slightly, "Alright, I’ll have the logistics department start clocking your time now."

Chu Zhuohua coughed, "Alright, everyone, let’s talk about this Dimension Space matter first. Before Xie Jian Country removes the crystal, he won’t be able to leave, I need to perform surgery on Xie Jian Country..."

Jing Shu interjected, "No need to go through the trouble! I’ve already taken a small piece of the crystal from his body before, enough to maintain operations within the Dimension Space, even if he leaves now it won’t cause a collapse."

As she spoke, she pulled out a black crystal the size of a fingernail.

Chu Zhuohua and Xie Jian Country were both shocked, but neither asked how Jing Shu got it, and of course, she wouldn’t explain that she extracted it from the energy in Xie Jian Country’s body in space, the rest of the Dark Energy Crystal in her space nearly filled a cubic meter.

"Alright, this makes it convenient, we can now move Xie Jian Country out. Once the main forces come to extract, we will return," Chu Zhuohua said.

Jing Shu nodded, "The immediate task now is to discreetly escort Brother Xie to the South Sea, only then can extraction rights and other matters be guaranteed."

This is why it was necessary to get Xie Jian Country out, as he was the key to the whole Dimension Space.

Without the crystal from Xie Jian Country’s body, the space couldn’t even operate, let alone convert energy, so holding onto the key ensured negotiations in the future.

Chu Zhuohua gave a thumbs up, "You’ve thought of everything, let’s go."

Once Zhen Nantian signaled safety from outside, Jing Shu relocated the last group of people, including Xie Jian Country and Chu Zhuohua, placing the crystal at the border to maintain energy.

The world’s air suddenly felt fresher.

The gray snowy mountains glimmered with an unusual hue, the air suddenly dropped by more than ten degrees, and Xie Jian Country shivered.

"Shut down the border?"

Jing Shu shook her head, "No need, let’s come back in a few days, for now, we have more important things to do. During this time, don’t pull anyone out."

This treasure, who knows how many people it will lure in, only by reporting the information first can the future be known.

"Let’s move out."

Jing Shu and the main team were now speeding outward from Heaven Mountain, while Professor Huang and his team in the Eight-dimensional Space were in total chaos...
