Chapter 360 The smell of resentment
The two of them looked at the gourd and then at the orderly crowd not far away, looking for the target possessed by Sui Yang.
Many members of the Earth Fire have put on the prosthetic limbs that Xia Zhihui brought back from City No. 7. Their mental state is not generally good, so there seems to be a lot of suspicion.
The Silver Mane Iron Guards all covered their faces under steel helmets, making their facial expressions invisible.
Most of the miners looked tired, some were yawning, some fell asleep leaning against their companions outside the fire, and some even wrapped their clothes around their heads and found a flat surface. They start to rest as soon as they lie down on the ground, and only a few people are still relatively energetic.
Because the mine works in three shifts around the clock, there are fewer people on the night shift than on the day shift, so they are more energetic.
In the past, two shifts worked 24 hours a day, and the average working time per person was more than ten hours. It was because the upper and lower districts had re-established contact, and after the shortage of supplies became less severe, the two shifts turned into three shifts.
But that's something that only some excellent miner teams can do, such as the mining team led by mine leader Antonina.
The three-shift mechanism was officially established because the presence of the Tianxing Mud Bricks raised the temperature of the entire lower area, and even the upper area rose several degrees.
Because the temperature has gone up, a lot of residential ground heating consumption has been reduced, so the demand has dropped.
But even as demand falls, living standards rise.
Because Bronya's macro-allocation has promoted the increase in the unit price of the earth marrow, although the miners in the lower areas have less work than before, their income is much more than before, and their lives are more moist.
Looking at the small group of people who were quite energetic, Xia Zhihui put his elbow on Xi'er's shoulder, and then pointed at one of them.
"Tell me, is he possessed by Suiyang?"
Xi'er looked in the direction of his finger and flipped through the list on the side.
"Peak...day shift..."
The two looked at each other.
"Yes, it's him!"
On weekdays, Peak always lies on the floor and acts like a god of sleep. He doesn't even know that his saliva has wet the pillow.
At first, he only worked one day and three days off, earning enough money to survive for three days. Then he made no money for three days, lying down and sleeping, and eating one or two meals a day.
Finally, under Sambo's guidance, he even made a show of renting out mining equipment.
Because he only eats one meal a day and doesn't buy anything else, his daily expenses are very small.
If he can successfully rent out mining tools, he can still make money during the three days he is not at work.
This means that he can stop working at all and rely only on the rent from renting out mining tools to make a living.
If it weren't for the fact that the mining tools in the lower area were self-produced, which would be quite sufficient, he might really be unable to get up.
But now, he was working during the day shift, and he was still so energetic during the night shift. He was able to stand and brag with a group of people. This was the most outrageous thing.
The two walked over side by side, and the crowd that was still chatting became quieter.
When the two of them walked behind Peak, they both heard his boasting.
"I'm Peak. From today on, I only sleep six hours a day and work eighteen hours a day. I will definitely become the most diligent person in the big mining area!"
The miners burst into cheerful laughter.
"Isn't it true that you work minus eighteen hours and then rest plus six hours?"
"Haha, I can do it for just eighteen hours!"
"What do you mean? My highest record is that I worked twenty-five hours a day."
Another burst of cheerful laughter.
Of course, Peak could see that the miners were teasing him, so he was not annoyed. He just shook his head, hit his chest with a fist, then stretched out his finger and pointed at everyone.
"Forget it if you don't believe it. I will prove it to you tomorrow."
Xi'er pulled Xia Zhihui's sleeve, motioned for him to lower his head, and leaned into his ear and asked quietly.
"How to use this gourd?"
Xia Zhihui whispered into her red ears.
Xi'er nodded, opened the gourd cover of the Hidden Moon Gourd, and shouted to Peak's back.
"Pike Pike, I call you, do you dare to agree?"
Peak turned around with a puzzled expression.
"what?"
"what!"
"what--"
After the Zangyue Gou trembled for a while, Xi'er closed the lid of the gourd and handed it to Xia Zhihui.
"How about it, am I great?"
"Awesome, you are awesome."
"You treat me like a child, right?"
After thinking at the speed of light for a while, Xia Zhihui answered decisively.
"No, it's just that in my heart, you will always be young."
Xi'er turned around and walked behind Xia Zhihui, leaving only one sentence.
"That's pretty much it. You can take care of things."
Xia Zhihui breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Peak.
Under the gaze of everyone, Peak yawned greatly.
"I'm so sleepy, I really want to sleep."
A miner who was joking just now was stunned and asked quickly.
"Weren't you still trying to fight for blood just now? Are you going to fight?"
"What are you struggling for? It's better to sleep than sleep. I just want to sleep, don't disturb me!"
Peak said as he walked towards his tent.
After arriving at the tent door, he turned his hat and used the brim that originally covered his ears to block his eyes, and then got into the quilt in the tent without even closing the door.
Xia Zhihui watched all this silently and couldn't understand, so he pulled the lid of the gourd.
"Hey, what do you call me brother?"
Sui Yang, who had been lying flat on the bottom of the gourd with squinted eyes, suddenly opened his eyes and blurted out one sentence.
"Young man, do you long for power?"
"I long for snow-white milk...ahem, no."
The dark blue and black-striped Suiyang that had floated up to the center of the gourd sank again and shook its little tail.
"My name is Dingwan, your name is Xia Zhihui, right? I've seen you in Peak's memory."
"Well, that's right. Brother Dingwang, I have something to ask you. Why did you choose to possess Peak?"
As soon as he mentioned this matter, Dingwang, who had already accepted and was caught back to the status quo, waggled his tail crazily and slapped the gourd wall next to him.
"Because after I come here, I want to find someone with the strongest emotions to eat."
"When we came here, Peake had just been woken up by his fellow miners to go to work. His resentment about not wanting to get up was so high!"
"As a result, the more I work, the less emotional I feel. When I come back, I just cover myself up with nothing."
"Then you didn't want to be possessed by someone else?"
"No, at that time I thought of using my own ability to transform his personality to another extreme, hoping that this would be a feast for the eyes. Isn't it about to start, so you are here."
Xia Zhihui felt a trace of guilt for disturbing Suiyang's meal, but it soon disappeared.
"Actually, I'm curious, for energy parasites like you, what does it feel like to suck emotions?"
"What does it feel like... It's similar to human taste. For example, rage is spicy, and slight anger is spicy."
"What about resentment? What does Peak's resentment taste like?"
"The black pearls in the Star Taro Bobo Milk Tea don't have much flavor. They mainly have a bouncy texture and are a bit sticky to the teeth. The amount makes me hungry."
