Overturned Tower

Chapter 23 Happiness is a duty

The soft and gentle words of this young minister in his early twenties actually gave Russell a feeling of motherly relaxation.

But fortunately, Russell's rationality was still stretched at the last moment.

He resisted the thought of asking, "Have you heard of the name Nanliujing?", and with this feeling of hesitation, he naturally turned to Delphinium and asked:

"...I would like to ask, what is our main work content on weekdays? What are the working hours? How is the remuneration?"

Extremely realistic three consecutive inquiries.

After all, Russell was assigned directly - in order not to lose control and become a demon, he could only enter the Special Execution Department.

However, no matter what, he is a double master's degree from Sogo University. If the salary is really too little and the work is busy and dangerous, he may not go to a psychiatrist to wash away his psychic powers...

——Although in shounen comics, many young saviors seem to give up their studies to save the world... There are also reliable adults in tokusatsu dramas who give up their good jobs and participate in some organization that secretly saves the world. , fight until you lose your arms and legs, or just burp your butt.

But Russell has long passed the age of youthful enthusiasm.

Now he has become very realistic.

To fight the devil with your life as a savior? Use superpowers to secretly fight enemies and protect people?

That's not impossible.

Even Russell, who is not good at fighting, is ready to fight to the point of being injured every day.

However, saving the world and fighting the enemy once or twice is enough. It should be regarded as the bravery of a good young man - but the passion of a brave man is not an excuse for kings, princesses and great sages to have unlimited whoring.

Proper wages, appropriate vacations, as well as medical protection and accident insurance in the event of serious injury or death in combat are all must-haves.

Even if you don’t have it, you have to fight for it, and if you have it, you have to bargain. After all, he is more or less an armed department directly under the "Big Seven"...

Faced with this problem, Delphinium had obviously expected it.

"Not like those gentlemen and ladies in the executive department."

Delphinium nodded, and her expression became more serious: "Our working hours are relatively more 'loose'."

"……possibility?"

Russell's expression became a little subtle.

"Yes. Because whether our work is busy or not depends entirely on whether the 'suspected demons' appear, the number of 'suspected demons' and the emergency situation. In other words, we have the possibility of working overtime - and the overtime hours It’s not regular and may occur continuously.”

Although the spirit relative is a Samoyed, he gives people the feeling of a fox.

Delphinium said very smoothly: "To put it simply, our job content is to 'solve incidents'. But when there are no emergencies, we are very free.

"As long as you can ensure that you arrive at the target location within an hour after receiving an emergency notification, it doesn't matter whether you work here or not. You can play games, read here, or find a part-time job with flexible working hours.

"Of course, you can also be like a bad person...help your colleagues in the enforcement department to arrest mercenaries in the lower city in your free time. That can also be regarded as your performance and counted in the monthly salary. The danger of mercenaries is definitely not as high as It's a demon, but it can still be used for practice.

"As for income - you don't have to worry about that."

When Delphinium said this, he reached out and clicked a picture in the void, and then set the picture to be visible around him.

This is not about projecting a picture. If you use a camera to record it, you won't be able to capture this picture at all - the delphinium just shared what it saw with the people around it. Only people who also have a chip can see it...probably similar to the feeling of 3D glasses.

Russell took one look at the picture, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

Delphinium explained on the side: "The basic monthly salary is fifty-five thousand. Every time you work overtime when encountering a demon incident, it will be calculated as three thousand per hour. If the demon is finally found, everyone will share the bonus of one hundred thousand; if If the demon is arrested, an additional 100,000 will be added. These 100,000 will be distributed by me based on merit, but if the demon is killed, there will be no reward of this 100,000.

"But if the demon body is not found three days after receiving the 'suspected demon' report, and the demon is allowed to cause casualties to innocent civilians, then 10,000 performance points will be deducted for each person killed."

"Ten thousand..."

Russell murmured.

Not too much.

——He felt it was a bit too little.

If one person dies, only ten thousand will be deducted?

Of course, the purchasing power of this ten thousand yuan is not small.

Taking the income of a skilled prosthetist with a normal college degree and master's degree as an example, his monthly salary is about fifteen thousand. In less prosperous areas, the monthly rent is about 800 to 1,000 yuan... In Tian'en District, the rent is about three to four times more.

A one-bedroom suite of more than 40 square meters would cost about 200,000 to 300,000 yuan per year, excluding the 1% annual property tax paid to the local head office. But if you include property taxes, renting is more reliable.

Moreover, each person can theoretically only own one house. Generally speaking, starting from owning a second house in one's name, the annual property tax paid by an individual will directly increase to ten times - that is, 10% of the value of the house.

Among the seven empty islands, only Tongshen Island does not need to pay property taxes and can even allocate houses for free.

However, the residents of Tongshen Island have at least twelve basic working hours every day, and basically extend it to fourteen hours, and the allocated houses cannot be bought or sold. Therefore, there are many vacant houses on Tongshen Island.

So who should sell the vacant houses to?

The answer is no need to sell. Because the ownership of these houses has always belonged to the local "head office".

The land use rights and building ownership of the entire Happy Island belong to Tianen Group.

Even if other Big Seven companies want to open branches here, they must find Tianen Group to purchase land use rights on an annual basis.

As for the rental business, only those connected to Tianen Group are "legal rentals." In other words, the houses purchased by ordinary people cannot be rented out and can only be used by themselves or loaned to relatives.

Of course, they can also collect money and take people to live in their own homes, but if something goes wrong, the enforcement department will not take care of it.

For example, if the landlord loses something, he cannot report the tenant as "theft" or "robbery"; if the tenant is kidnapped or violated by the landlord, he cannot report the landlord. Because the act of "borrowing someone else's house" is equivalent to acknowledging that "the relationship between the two parties is as close as family members."

The starting income is 55,000 yuan per month, and as long as you have work to do, you can easily jump to an income of more than 100,000 yuan. This is indeed a high-paying job. Even a house in Tianen District can be afforded after working for half a year.

——Although people in this world are used to renting houses, Russell still subconsciously thinks that if he doesn’t buy one, he won’t feel at ease.

"Moreover, the company provides free housing and food, and consumables below level two can also be reimbursed."

Delphinium stretched out her finger, crossed it in front of her, and sent the architectural picture to Russell: "Theoretically, we all live in this three-story villa. I have the room closest to the door on the first floor, and you can live in the second floor. Floor...the entire second floor is yours. You can go to the third floor if you want. Of course, if you don't want to live with other people, you can also rent a house outside like a bad person. The group will reimburse all rental expenses .

"It's completely free to get meals in the company cafeteria. In addition, there is also a monthly reimbursement of 3,000 yuan for ordering takeout or eating and drinking outside. Your uniform has been delivered to your room. Remember to wear it when you go to work tomorrow. . You can apply for any non-lethal weapons you want to use, and you can apply within a week."

With that said, Delphinium took out the stun gun from her waist, signaled to Russell, and then put it back.

It seemed to be a magnetic placement method, because there was clearly no place on her waist to place the weapon. But Russell looked at Delphinium's plain white waist and couldn't figure out how she relied on to suck the gun.

"...So, what is our job content?"

Russell couldn't help but ask: "What is the 'suspected devil report'?"

The more Delphinium kept talking about the generous benefits of this position, the more panicked Russell became.

According to his common sense, it is impossible for capitalists to have benevolent intentions.

At this point, Delphinium became serious and sat up straight.

"I remember you were from Sogo Island, right?"

"Yes."

"How do they detect demons over there... Even if you don't know, you should be able to guess it by now."

"You mean...artificial intelligence?"

Russell guessed: "But isn't the use of artificial intelligence not popular here on Happy Island?"

"Yes. Each empty island has its own detection method. What Happy Island uses is the 'Happiness Detection'."

"……what is that?"

Russell was stunned for a moment when he heard the words that were too dystopian.

"——Here, [happiness is a duty], Mr. Russell. I'm afraid you don't know, so I'll remind you."

The person who interrupted their conversation was the bad guy sitting aside.

There was a bit of ridicule in his eyes, but his words were extremely plain: "This is the basic rule of Happy Island...it is the 'rule' of this ruined place."
