Chapter 122
Recently, there has been a big news on the Internet, which is closely related to people's livelihood.
A new type of mobile phone with the brand name "X" was born. The mobile phone was jointly released by the Hunter Association and another unknown organization.
As soon as the news came out, everyone didn't pay attention to the new mobile phone to be released, but stared at the four characters of "Hunter Association" in a daze.
It turned out to be the Hunter Association?
The status of hunters in this world is very special. People in the middle and upper classes of society know this organization, but it doesn't often appear in the lives of ordinary people.
But the Hunter Association has always had a sense of distance, far away from the lives of ordinary people, but what's going on now?
The Hunter Association is about to step down from the altar?
……
before the release of new phones.
Other than the president, no one else in the association thought it was a good idea.
No matter what the psychology is, most people think that even if the hunter does not maintain his sense of mystery, he should not appear in this name.
In layman's terms, it is out of style.
Moreover, the Hunter Association is an unofficial organization. The nature of the association is more inclined to the employment organization, and it takes money to do things, but most of the people who hire them are officials.
In other words, although the upper management doesn't interfere too much with them, it has certain control over them. After all, most of the tasks are issued by the upper management, so they also rely on the upper management for their food.
It is a bit risky to go in front of people without the consent of the people above.
During the meeting, the chairman said with a smile, "The people above don't care about such trivial matters, you are too careful."
Is this a thing?no.
Did they do anything?No.
It's not a big deal, and they didn't do anything, they just released a mobile phone in their own way.
What impact do you think this phone might have on the world?
No, it's just a phone.
Are the people above that free?Still staring at them all the time, besides, have they forgotten that the Hunter Association is also an independent organization?
The chairman only briefly said these, and let them think about it for themselves.
Of course, the final result is that all pass. Without affecting their normal work, they are naturally willing to earn a little extra money.
Although their strength is far superior to all others, they are still mortals after all, and they want to eat fireworks in the world.
And although they are rich, they really don't mind being richer.
Even if the money doesn't go to them equally, it's a good idea to use it to repair the Hunter's Association.
So there it is.
In the meantime, the president will also give everyone one of these phones.
This phone is very interesting, it is not geographically restricted, there are no problems such as poor signal.
It is comparable to their hunter-only communicator. Although it is not as convenient as the communicator, it has more complete functions and can record video and make video calls.
Even people like the man in the suit who only cared about the inability of the mobile phone at the beginning took one away, and got used to it bitterly.
Generally speaking, it is still very easy to use, so hunters will also bring their mobile phones while wearing the wrist communicator, so as to test various performances.
Half a month later, it was announced that the mobile phone was officially on sale.
Probably because the Hunter Association is too mysterious in the eyes of some people, and this phone is also very mysterious.
But anyway, the heat of this phone is coming up.
As soon as the sale started on this day, there were a lot of people standing in line at the door, some were waiting quietly, or some were talking in low voices.
"You think this phone is really as good as you say?"
"That's for sure, otherwise the Hunter Association wouldn't release the phone as a partner."
"Are you a fan of the Hunter Association?"
"Ah, what? No way?"
"I don't mean anything else, I'm just curious. I haven't heard of the Hunter Association before."
"How is it possible! The Hunter Association is so famous!"
"..."
The die-hard fans of the Hunter Association began to talk about the Hunter Association blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
Another person summed it up. The Hunter Association was originally a non-governmental organization. After many years, it was gradually recognized by the upper echelon. It often cooperates with the government/government and enterprises. Hunters can get a large bonus for this. Next, you can also travel the world and have adventures.
As long as you send the records of your travels to the official, you can also get a large bonus.
It feels a lot like a mercenary.
"So you want to be a hunter?"
"What, what's the matter? Can't you? Who doesn't want to be a hunter? Adventure is the romance of men all over the world!"
"you're right."
"Really! I heard that this phone has been used by many hunters. Of course I want to buy the same phone!"
"Oh."
"...Hey, are you not interested at all?"
"No, I'm just more interested in games on mobile phones. I heard that this mobile phone can play games."
"You, you came here for the game?"
"Yes, what's wrong? The most basic function of a mobile phone is communication. On top of that, it's not too much for me to change to a mobile phone that can play games, right?"
"So you're an otaku..."
"..."
"Ah, sorry, I didn't mean that."
"Okay, stop talking."
The boat of friendship that the two had just established on the queuing road capsized just like that.
The first two days after the release of the new mobile phone can be described as overcrowded. After this period of upsurge, it eased a bit.
No matter who has got the mobile phone or not, they all have a good impression of this new mobile phone.
For ordinary people, this ultra-smooth, smooth-to-use mobile phone that can listen to music, take pictures and record videos, and play small games makes them very satisfied.
Moreover, it is fast and convenient, with many functions, which is much better than their original mobile phones.
In short, this mobile phone has been praised all the way since it was launched, and almost no one praises it.
But after an accident happened, everyone began to look at the phone again.
……
Lucy is a beautiful young girl and a fashionista who keeps up with trends.
After the mobile phone launched by the Hunter Association, she also hurriedly bought one.
She likes the selfie function very much, and since then she has added a new hobby, which is to start taking selfies when she is dressed up beautifully, and upload beautiful photos on her social platform by the way, which has attracted the attention of many people and made her from now on. Turned into an X-blowing.
But on a very ordinary day.
When she started taking selfies in the mirror as usual, suddenly a fire broke out downstairs where she was, and the smoke rushed up almost instantly.
Lucy's legs were so frightened immediately, her family was in a good situation, so the place where she lived alone was also a very safe community, she never thought that such a dangerous situation would happen at home.
She was just about to run out with hands and feet, but saw the position of the camera on the mobile phone flickering slightly,
Then the phone suddenly beeped an alarm.
"Alarm Alert!"
"Dangerous danger!"
"A distress signal has been sent to the nearest public/security agency!"
"Please leave the scene immediately, the owner is planning the fastest escape route for you..."
Lucy looked at the mobile phone in her hand in a daze, because her fingertips were slightly white because she was too nervous.
"Please leave the machine owner quickly, please leave the machine owner quickly!"
The voice is getting louder and louder, as if urging.
Lucy came back to her senses, hurriedly got up, and ran out according to the route planned by the mobile phone.
"Go downstairs...turn left, the smoke is too heavy ten meters ahead, please turn around and go back, we are planning another route..."
Five minutes later, Lucy looked blankly at everything around her while pinching the mobile phone in her hand.
She, she's coming down now?
Come down so soon?
In such a big fire, she only had a small scratch on her knee, which was caused when she accidentally tripped and fell.
The firefighters came quickly, and when they saw her standing downstairs alone, someone came up to ask her about her situation.
A group of people came up and surrounded her, covered her with blankets, and poured hot milk for her to calm her emotions.
But she really wasn't in a bad mood.
When someone asked her how she escaped, her eyes suddenly became brighter and brighter!
"My phone saved me!"
Person taking notes: "?"
Are you kidding me?
……
A day later, reports of the new phone appeared on the TV news.
People who read this news felt that they were dreaming, can a mobile phone save lives?
It's simply a fantasy.
But after everyone listened, they realized that they were not joking.
Indeed, after a fire broke out in the place where such a person was, the mobile phone immediately called the police and planned an escape route for the owner, allowing her to escape in the fastest way.
The discussion on this matter on the Internet has never stopped, and there are many things to say.
But everyone wants to know why there is such a magical mobile phone.
After finding out the brand of the mobile phone, everyone was surprised but at the same time took it for granted.
Isn't this the mobile phone released by the Hunter Association some time ago!
But... does this phone still have this function? !
Anyway, believe it or not, mobile phone sales are once again reaching a new peak.
The Hunter Association also appeared in front of the public again, and the official website was almost overwhelmed by the crowd, all of them were asking about mobile phones.
The current official website of the Hunter Association is not as decent as the official website should be. It is more like the customer service of a mobile phone merchant.
Hunter Association: "..."
After the official website went down countless times, they finally reacted and looked at the phone again.
If this phone has this kind of function, this is not a simple phone.
Various voices soon appeared within the association.
"Isn't this an ordinary phone?"
"It's definitely not ordinary. Is there any mobile phone that can plan an escape route map for the owner?"
"It's a bit powerful, so if we encounter a very powerful opponent in the future, will it help us plan the escape route?"
"This...how about you try it?"
"..."
The two parted unhappily.
On the other side, President Netero is also making a video call with Amy.
"You didn't say that the mobile phone has this function." President Nitro complained, but he couldn't hide the smile in his eyes.
Amy looked puzzled: "What?"
"You don't know? You didn't watch the news?"
Amy looked at him in a daze, what news, does he think there is a place to watch news on Meteor Street?
Besides, the factory is also very busy, she needs to go there every day, soaking in the factory, how can she have time to care about other things?
President Netero seemed to have just realized it, rubbed his forehead and said, "By the way, I forgot about this." He then roughly repeated the previous news.
Amy pondered for a while, and said: "It does have this function, it is written in the user manual of the mobile phone."
"The mobile phone has the most basic alarm function. After sensing the external danger, it will automatically send out a distress signal, and at the same time, it will also give advice to the owner according to the situation at that time."
This phone is slightly worse than the phone the old dean gave her, but it has a certain ability to perceive danger and can serve as a reminder.
While she was talking, President Netero opened the user manual of the mobile phone.
No one will read the instructions carefully, you will know how to use the mobile phone after a while, so he has never read it.
He squinted his eyes for a while, and finally saw such a line of words added to the bottom line of the last page.
The term is very official, but it probably means that this phone will have the most basic warning and other functions.
Nitro: "..."
Why should such an important matter be placed in such an inconspicuous position? !
But forget it, that's not the point.
President Netero's expression became serious, "What if you meet other people or creatures?"
Amy spread her hands: "Whether it's a person or a creature, when your life is threatened, it can only help you call the police, and it can't do anything."
At least the current mobile phone can't do anything.
President Netero was silent for a moment, then asked again: "What about after that?"
Amy dealt with it vaguely, "Who knows what will happen next."
"There is a map display on the phone, so will a new map be loaded in an unfamiliar place?"
Amy's eyes flickered, "Divide places."
Don't even think about places like the Dark Continent, it's not possible for the time being.
President Nitero smiled, knowing what was in his mind, he put the topic aside, and talked about the sales of mobile phones, "By the way, the stock in the warehouse is not enough, and we need more mobile phones."
If it is said that he used to regard the mobile phone as a gadget, he didn't pay much attention to it.
But after this incident, he began to re-examine this mobile phone. No matter what it is, as long as it can save lives at a critical moment, it is a good thing.
What's more, it is such a convenient mobile phone.
No one can refuse a mobile phone that can help him at a critical moment.
Hearing this, Amy's eyes wandered for a moment, she scratched her face and said: "So far our output is still very stable..."
Amy said a lot, but it was translated into one sentence, that is, there is no excess inventory, and it is already very difficult for them to maintain a stable production.
At this moment, President Nitro finally felt a feeling of hatred for iron, how could she calm down at this time!
Amy looked at the sky and the earth, but she didn't dare to look at him.
President Netero had no choice but to sigh deeply, and said, "Well, I won't rush you for now, but you have to hurry up."
Amy nodded again and again, watching the other party hang up the video call with a smile on her face, and then rubbed her stiff face from laughing.
"What's wrong?" Yuan asked as he sat drinking tea at the side.
Amy put her face on the table, trying to let the cold temperature of the table calm herself down, and said, "The production of mobile phones will increase."
Seeing the little girl crushing his face flat, Yuanyi felt a little funny, twitched the corners of his mouth, and continued to listen to her rambling.
Amy kept talking about the factory.
Sometimes they say that they have worked very hard, sometimes they say that there are not enough people, and from time to time they have to say that training is still needed.
If it weren't for the training work that has been going on, maybe this group of people can join the work now.
Amy suddenly raised her head and thought about it carefully, probably because of insufficient manpower.
She stood up straight away, told Yuan Yi that she was going out and left.
Yuan Yi responded with a smile, watching the back of the little girl who picked up her coat and walked out.
After a while, he picked up the teacup in his hand and took a sip slowly, "Good tea."
……
Amy went to the warehouse first, and drove out the bumper car that she hadn't used for a long time.
She started an activity she hadn't done in a long time - patrolling.
Starting from the thirteenth district, she slowly looked at the bumper cars and the surrounding environment. Although there were still a few prominent garbage mountains, Meteor Street was much cleaner now.
Looking out from her, you can see that there are people still sorting out the garbage on the garbage mountain. As long as they sort out a sack, they can get five breads. If you save some food, it is enough food for one person for two days.
The people on Meteor Street are obsessed with food beyond imagination of normal people, so they usually try to make more food so that they can store more food.
Amy has no objection to this either. Wheat bread is really easy to store, at least it won't go bad after a few days.
So for those who have not yet applied for the job, picking up garbage is their important job.
Now the thirteenth district's influence is growing, but everyone is in the default stage for the development of the thirteenth district.
Don't interfere, but don't offer to help either.
After all, the elders in the first district turned a blind eye to this, so what position do they have to speak.
So everyone simply kept a high degree of consistency with the above.
Amy looked at so many people in front of her and was silent for a moment.
Why is there still a shortage of manpower?
Because most people are still soaking in the garbage!
She didn't get out of the car, and drove the bumper car directly to a person not far away, and shouted, "Hello?"
This is a man who is not very well dressed, with a thin face, looking at her warily.
Amy was very satisfied with his state. You must know that a few months ago, this group of people was still skinny, but now they can see some flesh.
The man looked at Amy and took a step back.
Amy's clean dress can only prove two points, either she has great strength herself, or she has a strong backer behind her.
And both of these are things he can't afford to mess with.
"Picking up garbage can only make you full, but the factories in the thirteenth district can earn you a nun. Why don't you go to the thirteenth district?"
"Can you get food in exchange for a nun?" The man still looked very tense, as if he was ready to run at any time.
Amy tried to slow down her voice and said, "Yes, you can buy it in the supermarket with a kinny."
She felt that this person must have never been to the first district, otherwise he would not have asked this kind of question. It is still very useful to know that the nun is in the first district.
She looked around again, and this place should be between the tenth district and the ninth district.
Amy thought for a while, looked at the sack at his feet and asked, "You know that these rubbish can be exchanged for bread and food in District [-]?"
"I know." The man replied lightly.
"The job is being recruited there now. As long as you can apply for the job, you can also get food and accommodation. You can actually try it."
"Really?" The man's eyes lit up.
Amy hesitated for a moment, why?The news hasn't come yet?
This shouldn't be, logically speaking, this kind of good news should spread throughout Meteor Street immediately, why didn't he hear any news?
Obviously Amy's hesitation was misunderstood by him, and his eyes dimmed instantly.
Amy immediately reacted, and quickly waved her hand and said, "It's true, I was thinking about other issues just now."
"That is to say, as long as I pass the assessment, I can have food and shelter?"
Amy: ...Although it's true, but I don't know what's weird.
"What do I need to do?" The man continued to ask cautiously.
Amy said directly, "Work, you can enter work after passing the assessment, and then you can provide food and housing."
The man looked indifferent: "Oh."
What is his reaction?
"Don't you want to go?" Amy asked doubtfully.
She felt that in the lowest level of Meteor Street, no one would refuse her offer, not to mention the salary, but the offer of food and housing, most people could not refuse.
"I'm not in good health. No one else can do it. I can't do this kind of work." The man said bluntly.
Amy: ...well, she now knows what the problem is.
Jobs are not too unfamiliar to the people on Meteor Street, but this kind of work is also very rare for people on Meteor Street, and most of the jobs have a fixed condition, that is, they can fight, at least force value to be met.
Someone like him who can't fight is useless.
Amy: "You can try it, after all, that job is completely different from the previous ones."
She can't talk to anyone, but this person is obviously different from others. Although he is dressed in rags, he looks cleaner, which shows that he will try his best to tidy himself up even in this environment. This is rare.
The man stopped picking up trash, and looked at her suspiciously, "Why do you want me to go?"
Amy scratched her head, this man's vigilance was a bit too high.
She could only sigh and said, "Because there is a shortage of people, there is a factory over there now, which needs to process a lot of things and ship them to Meteor Street."
"You can also come with your friends. I can guarantee that everything I said is true. You can go and see it before talking."
Amy is really more and more optimistic about this person, because he looks like a very clear-headed person.
She suddenly touched her chin again. Could it be that she lit up some golden fingers, so that she met a good seed as soon as she went out?
The man looked at her for a while, and saw that she looked very serious and didn't look like she was joking, so he turned his head and ran away.
Amy was startled, and before she had time to call someone, she saw the man come back scrambling, picked up the sack and ran away again.
Amy: "...?"
