Chapter 542 Boredom
Li Shiwei immediately got up from the bed and snapped her fingers.
But she saw a strange wind around her, and began to tidy up her hair and clothes. When she walked from the bed to the room, she had changed from a messy and relaxed posture to a clean and energetic uniform.
Yes, she was wearing a uniform now, which was basically a tight-fitting long-sleeved robe. The overall design should be based on the Tang Dynasty's police uniform. She wore a small square hat with the logo of the company printed on it.
This company was jointly established by Luofu Mountain, the Lord of Lingxiao, and Li Qi, and it was also the organization currently developing this world group.
Li Shiwei's duty was to guard, and she was also responsible for maintaining the security of this giant ship.
After all, a giant ship two thousand miles long could not be empty. It was full of people, some of whom were self-employed businessmen. Their civilization and world were unable to build large magic weapons to cross the outer void, but they could spend rent to board the ship and use the giant ship of the company to carry their goods.
Although they are called self-employed, in fact, these merchants usually represent their own civilizations. The goods they carry are also accumulated by hundreds of millions or even billions of people in their entire civilization. The people in charge of such business activities are also high-level civilizations, and they may even be the strongest in this civilization. However...
There are too many small worlds like this, so they are not very noticeable. They are generally classified as self-employed. There are seven or eight thousand such caravans on the giant ship. Some of the strongest in their entire civilization are even only ninth-grade.
They are not very noticeable outside the vast domain, but they are the hope of the entire civilization.
Seven or eight thousand different races, seven or eight thousand different customs and even physiological conditions, it is impossible to have no friction.
Moreover, these races even have all kinds of grievances and hatreds with each other before uploading, so there is an even greater need for security personnel.
So, Li Shiwei's job is to manage and coordinate the security of these people, and by the way, as a combatant, she will enter the world part-time to deliver goods.
This is still a very serious job. Li Qi did not give his daughter any preferential treatment, because Li Qi knew that preferential treatment is indulgence, and indulgence will damage the child's normal mind, causing Li Shiwei's mentality to be skewed and no longer normal.
Normal mind is very important.
Normal mind, normal mind, means that when facing different people, you can still maintain your original appearance.
Do not be humble to the superiors, do not be arrogant to the subordinates, do not become a licking dog to flatter the existence stronger than yourself, and do not bully the weaker than yourself. In this way, you can go long-term and avoid imbalance in your Tao heart.
This is what Li Qi realized himself. He suffered a loss in this regard. Even Zhu Fengdan admitted that he made mistakes in education in this regard, which made Li Qi cowardly and lost his courage.
Zhu Fengdan let Li Qi go, which led to Li Qi fighting against the seventh rank at the ninth rank, and then the eighth rank against the sixth rank. When he was at the seventh rank, he simply stopped acting and faced the demon directly at the seventh rank, which made Li Qi lose his spirit and made him more thoughtful and less courageous, so that he is now stuck at the peak of the sixth rank.
Therefore, Li Qi will definitely not make this mistake again, and Li Shiwei has been very upright so far.
Li Shiwei walked to the door and opened it.
Outside the door, stood a middle-aged man, also in uniform, but looking much more upscale.
Seeing this middle-aged man, Li Shiwei was very confused and said, "Ah, leader, why are you here? If you can't tell me what's going on, why come and knock on the door in person? Are you very idle?"
The entire ship has a highest-level security chief, who has five brigades under him, each in charge of five areas. The man in front of him is Li Shiwei's captain, who is responsible for one-fifth of the security on the entire ship. He is a seventh-grade Taoist. He was once a hermit in the seventh-grade world. He only wanted to pursue his own limits. Later, he was recruited and rewarded with martial arts. Now he works hard every day to exchange for sixth-grade martial arts.
"Of course I'm not idle, but I see that you seem to be quite idle, working overtime." The middle-aged man said lightly.
"Ah... Overtime again? It won't be those ore races again, right?" Li Shiwei's face fell.
"Only you can communicate with them on the entire ship. Okay, stop complaining. This is a big customer with a bonus. It's over at Warehouse No. 15 in Cabin B. Both sides have seventh-grade confrontations, so I'll go with you." The captain still said without emotion.
Hearing about the confrontation between the seventh-rank masters, Li Shiwei immediately became solemn. As for the captain's tone, the bastard was already used to it.
At first, she thought the captain had something against her, but later she found out that after he reached the seventh rank, no one in his world could understand him, and no one could communicate with him, so he practiced alone in the mountains, and his expression was paralyzed for about two thousand years, so he couldn't change it for a while.
She understood why the captain came to her in person to work overtime.
So, she nodded, and then said to Zhang You in the kitchen: "Youyou, you eat first, don't wait for me, overtime, the leader personally approved it, the seventh-rank confrontation!"
"Okay! Be careful, don't get too close!" Zhang You poked his head out of the kitchen and warned.
"It's a small matter, I'll be back in an hour!" Li Shiwei gestured that it was no problem, and went outside carelessly.
Then, she followed the captain, speeding up, and rushed to the destination.
After all, this ship is two thousand miles long and several hundred miles wide. It is complicated inside and larger than some small worlds. It takes some time to travel. Fortunately, as security personnel, they have their own exclusive channels to pass through, and they don’t have to take those crowded roads.
On the way, the captain suddenly asked: "By the way, how do you communicate with those mineral races?"
Li Shiwei immediately responded jokingly: "The mountain people have their own tricks~, how can the leader just ask about my whereabouts? I am a virgin, so I should pay attention to the impact."
The captain still had that expressionless face: "I'm just curious. You practice the Luofu Mountain's skills, and I practice the Luofu Mountain's skills. Why can't I talk to those mineral lives?"
"Maybe it's because you can't. There is a gap between practicing the same skills. I am a genius." Li Shiwei hummed and said complacently.
"Indeed, I still need to work harder. In my own world, I thought I had reached the top, but now I know there is a world beyond the sky." The captain continued to say with a straight face.
"Hey, you're not taking it seriously, are you?" Li Shiwei frowned.
"It's true, why take it seriously?" The captain's tone didn't change.
This made Li Shiwei touch his head.
He's even more stone than a stone. This person should be able to communicate with mineral life. Stone is much more reasonable than him.
Yes, in fact, being able to communicate with mineral life is not a skill. The principle is very simple, that is, let the stone speak.
Stone is also a typical mineral life, and his body is the sixth-grade mountain black jade produced in the world. He has a very high status and can naturally suppress those mineral lives, so Li Shiwei can speak among them.
Of course, the body of the stone is the sixth grade, but he has only practiced the ninth grade so far, which is actually very weak. He needs to slowly develop his potential.
Or simply let others help him develop, that is, refine him into a magic weapon.
Li Shiwei will definitely not do this. Let the stone grow slowly by itself. After all, it is a foregone conclusion that the stone will be promoted to the sixth grade in the future. He has not even reached the level of development. At present, the stone is still exploring the abilities that he cannot use.
But... forget it, I can't explain it to this captain, and it's not good to expose the stone to outsiders, after all, the stone itself is still very valuable.
Talking gossip, the two of them took about a quarter of an hour to rush to the scene.
The scene... how to describe it.
A pile of indescribable, indescribable dazzling gems, piled up in place, facing each other, blocking the road.
Because there are two seventh-grade existences, surpassing 99% of the people on this ship, so everyone is hiding here.
These minerals are certainly not human-shaped. In fact, they all look weird. As long as they can move, they will be fine. Even if they can move, their movements are quite slow. They are probably just a pile of indescribable gems.
However, as mineral creatures, they have evolved extremely powerful souls and special optical magical powers, so they don't need to move themselves, they just need to float up with magical powers.
To be honest, if you look at it this way, it's hard to think they are life.
However, the world outside the domain is endless, and there are always some strange things.
"Stop, stop, don't block the road!" Li Shiwei clapped her hands and walked to the middle of the gemstone piles.
But the gemstones emitted a wave of soul fluctuations.
They can't speak, and they haven't learned the way that stones vibrate their bodies to make sounds, so they all use their souls to transmit their thoughts.
These soul fluctuations are probably translated into noisy cheers?
"The big ones are coming, the big ones are coming!"
"The big ones, they have robbed our trade route this time!"
"Obviously our goods are better, this is normal competition, can this be considered robbing? I'm just not doing my best."
The big ones are the names these mineral lives call those with high status.
Of course, they are not called Li Shiwei, but stones.
Li Shiwei flicked the stone hanging on her waist with her fingers and said, "Find a secluded place, don't block the road here, go in and talk slowly."
Then, the gemstone piles suddenly took off and flew up.
Then followed Li Shiwei and walked to an empty warehouse nearby.
Li Shiwei locked the door and threw the stone out.
Then, it was a bunch of special communication between inorganic substances. Li Shiwei couldn't understand this communication method at all.
But it didn't matter, as long as the problem could be solved.
She looked at the minerals, and then turned her head to look at the door. She could see the captain guarding outside through the cat's eye, but the captain should not be able to see inside, it was one-way.
How to say it...
There was a feeling of fatigue.
At first, when she was working and doing these things, she was quite happy. She could deal with different types of races every day, so she was always very excited.
However, it has been more than a year, and there will be no psychological fluctuations when doing this kind of thing at this moment.
Just as she said to Zhang You before, she was a little tired.
Although she had not been directly beaten by a particularly serious incident, for a girl who is only 18 years old now, the work of more than a year was like a blunt knife, constantly cutting her body.
It was only more than a year, which didn't seem long, and she didn't suffer any grievances. In fact, her colleagues were all easy to get along with. Even the captain of the seventh rank, although he was as calm as a cement board, was actually very good to his subordinates, such as this overtime.
There is no way to work overtime, after all, the conflict between the mineral races cannot wait until tomorrow, but he can obviously just give an order directly, but he still chooses to go with Li Shiwei.
This kind of good workplace relationship, comfortable interpersonal communication, high salary and status, should be a life that many people envy.
But Li Shiwei still feels that this kind of life seems to be slowly blocking her throat, filling her up day by day with time.
It's only been more than a year, and so many fantastic scenes have already felt a little numb.
After a while, the stone was adjusted. In order not to be exposed, Li Shiwei did not directly start to ask him how he did it, but hung the stone on his waist again, then pushed the door and walked out.
After finishing the work, she and the captain began to return.
The return journey is the same, just in reverse.
On the way, Li Shiwei couldn't help asking the captain: "Leader, you have been here for fifty years, right?"
"Well, two years short of fifty years." The captain nodded.
"Aren't you bored?" Li Shiwei was a little curious.
"What are you bored with?" The captain didn't understand what Li Shiwei was referring to.
Li Shiwei explained: "Look, leader, you have lived for more than two thousand years, two thousand of which you have been hiding in the corners of your own world alone, and then you have been doing the same thing here for fifty years... Don't you feel bored?"
As she said this, she looked at the captain. It is said that the other party's expression disappeared because he had lived alone for two thousand years, so he lost the ability to make expressions.
"Bored? I don't know, I haven't felt it." The captain said with a straight face.
Li Shiwei didn't ask again, because she knew that the captain was like this. If he said he didn't know, then he definitely didn't know.
All the way back to the dormitory.
Zhang You left her a meal, and after eating, Zhang You began to practice.
And Li Shiwei looked outside through the porthole.
Outside was the boundless void of the outer domain, a dark piece, no light at all, nothing could be seen, this was darker than the deepest darkness.
Most of the outer domain voyages are like this, and only in rare cases can you encounter some strange scenery.
Looking out the window, Li Shiwei felt impatient.
She felt that the days on the ship were only interesting at the beginning, but now they have become a kind of suffocating shackle.
Li Shiwei wanted to go to the hunting sea world. She heard that it was a chaotic world and she could create her own legend there.
