“New Project? Should I do it?”The little fairy asked curiously.

“Currently, we need a large number of engineers. Among the players, you have the most engineers, so you are the most suitable.”The developer said as he looked at the big and burly Little Fairy Titan.

“If that’s the case… then… What’s the reward?”The little fairy rubbed her hands and smiled.

“The reward points… because it’s a face-saving project and doesn’t consider much practicality, it doesn’t need to be too detailed. It’ll be used as a practice for the engineers under you. It’s expected to be completed in a few days.”

“A few days?”The little fairy was stunned. “What Kind of Project?”

“A mountain gate… … roughly like this … “…”the man with the slickback took out his new blueprint. “This is the general blueprint of this mountain gate. It’s divided into three gates and seven peaks. The three gates are Xuanji Gate, moving mountain gate, and Wanxiang Gate. The seven peaks are: Tongtian Peak, Longshou Peak, Fenghui Peak, Chaoyang Peak, Sunset Peak, big bamboo peak, and small bamboo peak…”. “…”

The little fairy was stunned and said, “Is this a sci-fi game? Why is the name of the building the same as those xianxia routines in Qidian’s web novels? And that so-called seven peaks… do you think I haven’t seen Jade Dynasty?”

“That’s not important!”The guy with the slickback took back the blueprint and said, “You just need to know that one peak is worth 100,000 points!”

“F * ck… That’s a good relationship… I’ll get it all!”The Little Fairy’s eyes turned red. The worst thing she could do now was to get points. The engineers in the base consumed a lot of nutrient fluids every day!

“Ahem… then you should prepare well. This is a face-saving project. Although the construction time is short, it has to be fine. The quality can be average, and the appearance must be good. You have to pick some good-looking ones.”

The little fairy: “Oh…”

—— —

At this time in the base, Zach carefully blew on his new relief sculpture. Then, he carefully swept away the jade dust with a brush. After sweeping it clean, he looked at his masterpiece with a gratified expression.

He liked to make these things when he was young, but in the empire, the status of artisans was not very high. Blacksmiths who could forge weapons might be better, but those who liked relief sculptures and wood carvings were looked down upon by people, especially in places like the north, where the atmosphere of the military was thick, they would be regarded as toys that lost their will and bred corruption among the nobles, and were disdained by many northerners.

After his mother passed away, he chose to join the military, hoping that in the future, with a generous pension, he could go to the south, where the climate was warm and the atmosphere of art was good, buy a small house, and do what he liked.

However, after joining the army, he realized that this expectation was not as simple as he thought. He lived in fear that he might be beheaded by the orcs all day long, doing heavy work that he did not like. Day after day, day after day.., he felt that his entire body was going numb.

After he was captured, he thought that his miserable life was about to end. To be honest, he initially had the will to die. He thought in his heart.., if these green orcs were really like the ones in the Bards’stories, he would rush up and bite them to death with his teeth… Of course, there was a high chance that he would be punched in the head by the other party, because he had actually seen these green-skinned orcs capture a griffin from the air with their bare hands.

They were really more monsters than monsters!

But at that moment, he was not afraid of death. It was not because of the glory of the Empire or anything. He just did not want to live a life without hope. In the past, when he was in the army, he was terrified. Although he was also doing hard work, he worked hard every day, but at least he had some hope. But after becoming a slave of the orcs, it seemed that he could only work hard for his entire life…

However, what he never expected was that after they were captured, their lives were much better than he had imagined. Especially in the recent days, it was simply heaven for him.

To be able to quietly do his favorite carving, eat, drink, and have enough time to rest, he didn’t have to worry about going hungry or freezing, nor did he have to worry about when his head would be chopped off.., wasn’t this the kind of life that he had always dreamed of?

Most importantly, his craftsmanship seemed to have been recognized…

Zach recalled the praise of his several-meter-tall master a few days ago. He could see that the other party was sincerely optimistic about his craftsmanship and was able to gain the recognition of others in his favorite field, moreover, he could even use this to exchange for a better life. This was something that he had always dreamed of. He had always thought of using his craftsmanship to impress some noble lord and get a decent job.

This dream… … might really come true here… …

With this thought in mind, he looked around at his companions who were also carving exquisite jades in their hands. Looking at everyone’s serious expressions, a source of hope welled up in his heart.

Bang!

Suddenly, Zach, who was looking around in realization, suddenly felt his hand become light. A crisp sound rang out, and the exquisite sample that he had carved for the entire afternoon instantly shattered into pieces.

Zach stared blankly at the ground. That was an emerald jade. It was different from hard white jade. This kind of emerald jade was used for decoration. Because it was rare, every engineer could only apply for one piece a day for practice, it was a very precious material.

Everyone knew that the material was expensive. The texture was probably even more exquisite than the jewelry on the royal archdukes that he had seen before, he had never thought that he would have the chance to manipulate such a beautiful material one day!

However, the material was too delicate. He had only managed to produce a finished product that he was satisfied with on the fourth day. He had never thought that his first finished product would be destroyed just like that.

Immediately, a wave of anger surged up in his heart. He shouted angrily at gray egg, who had knocked off the jade stone in his hand, “What are you doing?”

Grayegg was stunned for a moment, and then he said in a confused tone, “What’s wrong? It’s not a big deal. It will be scrapped every day anyway. It’s not a precious thing. Why are you reacting so strongly?”

“Not a precious thing?”Zach paused and pointed at the broken but still shiny jade on the ground. “Are You Blind?”

“So you people…”Grayegg said indifferently, “If it was really something precious, would those green-skinned orcs give it to us to waste like this? Can you grow some brains?”

“You…”Zach was suddenly angry. He always felt that the other party was talking nonsense, but he was a more honest person and was not good at debating. For a moment, he did not know how to refute.

“If you don’t work hard, at least don’t disturb others!”A stronger man next to him leaned over with a cold face and looked at gray egg with an unfriendly look.

Gray egg looked at the other party’s body size and took two steps back. Then he said angrily, “Work hard? Work hard for what? Work hard to help these orcs? Have you forgotten who you are?”

Everyone was stunned. Even the big man with the unfriendly face was stunned by this righteous words.

“Don’t forget your identity. You are soldiers, soldiers of the empire. Do you really think you are dog slaves after being captured?”

Gray egg asked aggressively, and everyone was silent for a moment. Even the big man who had started to look at him with displeasure avoided looking at him with a guilty conscience.

Seeing this scene, grey egg became even more smug. “Just because they say that this is our home and your home, do you really think that they treat us as family? Bullshit! “They are just using us, treating us like livestock. If you have any brains, you wouldn’t believe this, right? “They even treat these messy stones as treasures day by day. Do they really think that they can rely on these to make a name for themselves here? Wake Up, Idiots! !”

Everyone looked at each other in dismay. For a moment, no one knew how to refute this guy. Grey egg looked at the crowd who could not refute him and walked out arrogantly.

The scene fell silent. After a long time, Zach broke the silence and said, “That guy grey egg… is he so loyal to the Empire?”

Everyone was speechless. The burly man looked at Zach blankly and said, “You really believe him?”

Before he finished his sentence, grey Egg’s voice came from afar, “Aiya, master, why are you here?”? Hey, I have used up all my materials. I want to apply for more… “Hey, master, you flatter me. I’m not really hard-working. Everyone is hard-working. It’s mainly because master is so good to us. If we don’t work hard, wouldn’t we be heartless?”

Everyone:”…”

Zach listened to gray egg’s fawning voice in the distance, then looked at the broken jade on the ground, and fell silent for a moment.

He remembered… Gray egg was a squad leader when he was in the army… …

His military age was several years higher than his, but he was still an ordinary engineer…

In this world, was it possible for such a person to have a better life? Zach thought silently.
