On June 21, the eighth year of the last calendar year, the weather was sunny and the temperature was 37 degrees.

After the three-day hail disaster ended, early in the morning, the weather in the wasteland began to quickly return to its usual heat.

It was only early seven in the morning, and the red sun climbed up to the horizon and began to evaporate the unmelted hailstones in the entire New World.

Assailed by the sudden heat, Ge Jianan had no choice but to get up from the small single room.

Beneath her body, the plain-colored sheets brought from home were already covered with sweat stains from a night's work.

If you look carefully, you can still see a few squirming insects, struggling to move among the sheets, trying to find a clean and tidy space.

In the civilized era, such a scene would have been rare to see.

However, as a party.

Although the environment is very poor, considering that renting such a single room only requires ten transaction points a month.

Ge Jian'an was still very satisfied. He lifted up the sheets, shook them, neatly put them away in his handmade wooden suitcase.

On Earth, he is an architectural designer, and his main clients are all major high-end commercial complexes.

It's a pity that in this wasteland, ordinary humans have almost no need for high-rise buildings.

Moreover, the flashy and unique house is not as solid as the huge and ugly house. Even if Ge Jianan claimed that his design would improve safety and functionality, no one would pay for it.

Coupled with frequent natural disasters, the house is a consumable. As an architect, he has not received any decent orders for about two years, so he has no choice but to join the army of odd jobs.

"Hey, Jian'an is planning to go home today?"

"These things have been packed. I'm afraid you are leaving today, right?"

"It's so fast. I even thought about staying for two days to see if there was any other work. I didn't make enough money this year."

"Jian'an works full-time at Zizai Liangfang, right? In those three days, he earned as much as other people earn in a whole summer. I'm envious."

As Ge Jianan walked out of the room with his suitcase, other early-rising migrant workers in the yard came to ask questions.

The income of ninety points is naturally not worth mentioning in a normal summer harvest.

But this year's situation is so bad that this amount of money has become a life-saving money, which is enough to make those working on official plantations and those doing odd jobs elsewhere envious to death.

"Yes, food prices have risen too much this year, and the situation outside is not peaceful. I have to go back to the territory as soon as possible."

"If you stay in this Tianyuan territory for one day, it will cost you one more day."

Glancing at the small room behind him with a sigh, Ge Jianan stepped forward and hugged these people who had been living together for a few days.

Although he also knows that in this wasteland, as long as everyone chooses to leave each other, it may be forever.

Luck cannot support a person to continue working here for several years in a row.

Even he himself may no longer be able to come to the territory where he has worked for three years due to various reasons next year.

"Way to go!"

Hearing these two familiar words again, Ge Jianan paused for a moment before stepping into the courtyard, but in the end he took a firm step towards the center of the town.

The first stop was a breakfast shop called "Chaoyang" in Sangtian Town.

This shop is owned by a native of Shandong. When he passes by it every morning, the flatbread with a strong aroma of sesame, the oily and black rice-treasure porridge, and the fresh green onions will whet his appetite.

However, due to the high price of at least two transaction points per meal, he would hesitate for a long time every time before reluctantly leaving.

Now, he is about to leave Tianyuan territory.

He is also willing to go out of his way to satisfy his wish and reward his hungry stomach for many days.

"Boss, give me two pieces of cake, no, give me three pieces of cake, pack one piece, and eat the other two pieces now."

"Give me a big bowl of eight-treasure porridge, two pickles, and three green onions!"

As soon as he walked in and sat down, Ge Jian'an didn't feel distressed anymore and simply ordered all the food he usually wanted to eat.

Among them, two large cakes can keep him hungry all day long, and the remaining one can be eaten on the way.

"Okay, Chenghui has 3 trading points!"

"3?" After looking at the price sign at the door, he realized that the price of this breakfast shop had also increased along with food prices. Ge Jian'an had no choice but to open the game panel in distress and turn the transaction point over.

At the same time, it also strengthened his determination to leave this high-consumption territory and return to the Dragon and Phoenix territory.

In this town, food expenses cost 3 points a day, and the 90 points he earned could only last a month.

Counting a family of four, I'm afraid the money earned is not enough to eat.

Only by returning to the Dragon Phoenix territory and managing the one-third-acre land well can the food obtained be enough to feed the family.

Fortunately, it is served with flatbread, hot porridge, and pickles.

As he immersed himself in eating these steaming foods, a huge sense of happiness finally came over him, which made him feel much less depressed.

It wasn't until a whole piece of cake was eaten that Ge Jian'an raised his head contentedly and looked at the other diners in the store.

Based on their different clothing and eating habits, more than half of the people in the store are aborigines from Sangtian Town and have a lot of money.

Among the remaining people, about 30% were similar to him. They had to leave the territory before they dared to come over and reward themselves with a meal.

"Hey, have you heard that Zizailiangfang seems to be announcing some kind of conference today, and they've been setting up a stage this morning?"

"I saw what was written on their flyer, it seems to be called Heroes Association?"

"The name is too weird. Isn't it just to imitate the official plantations and reward some people who have outstanding performance during the summer harvest? It is also so grand that people who don't know think they are going to do something big."

"How can it be compared with the official plantation? The official plantation rewards status. The most important thing about Zizailiangfang is that the salary is doubled."

"No, no, no, the Potential Hero Award is worth 1,000 points, isn't it? You can also buy status!"

"."

He listened carefully to the discussion of several people at the table next to him.

After hearing a few keywords, Ge Jianan raised his eyebrows and couldn't help but stand up.

"Brother, can I take a look at that conference flyer you mentioned?"

Pointing to the sheets pressed under one of his buttocks, Ge Jianan handed over a plate of side dishes that he had not yet used his chopsticks.

"Easy to say, easy to say." After taking the side dish, the man quickly pulled out the paper from under his butt, with surprise on his face.

He picked up this flyer casually when he passed by the gate of Liangfang, but he didn't expect that someone would exchange it for a side dish.

"Thanks"

Sitting back down, Ge Jianan turned his attention to the A4 paper filled with text and began to read it carefully while eating.

"The Heroes Association was initiated by Mr. Su Youzong, the first "leader" of Zizailiangfang. Its goal is to reward the most outstanding group of workers among the 21,000 workers hired by Zizailiangfang during this summer harvest."

"All reward funds are spent by Liangfang, and there is no penalty system involved, so there is no need to worry."

A few words set the tone. After seeing that there was no punishment, Ge Jianan felt relieved and began to look at specific rewards.

"The Heroes Association has three grand prizes. Hey, there are quite a few prizes."

"The first award is Unsung Heroes, which is awarded to the top 100 people with the highest workload during the summer harvest. The top 50 people will receive double their salary and reimbursement of round-trip tickets, and the bottom 50 people will receive an increase in salary.

50%, the same reward for reimbursing the ticket”

"The second award is for True Heroes, which rewards the top 100 people with the highest work efficiency during the summer harvest. The rewards are the same as above."

"The third award is the Potential Hero Award. The award is more complicated. Personal details need to be submitted first, and then the alliance leader Su Youzong will review and appraise them. The selection conditions are also more stringent, and the awards will be awarded."

"Damn it, first place has a thousand points???"

Sipping the eight-treasure porridge from the bowl, Ge Jianan choked and coughed repeatedly after seeing that the number one potential hero award actually had a thousand points.

One thousand points is enough to buy the lowest level status in most places in Tianyuan territory.

Even the status of a plantation worker in Sangtian Town only requires 800 points.

If you can get the first place in this award, it goes without saying that you can just go through the settlement procedures on the spot and follow Zizailiangfang in the future.

And the remaining rewards

"Except for the first place in the top ten, which is 1,000 points, the bottom nine all have 500 points, which is not bad."

"And these last forty, good guys, all of them have 200 points. This is more than the harvest in a whole summer harvest in previous years!"

After reading the rewards with envy, Ge Jianan couldn't help but feel a little frustrated when he thought that he only knew one architectural design skill.

For the first two rewards, he can try his best next year to see if he can get a lower ranking and enjoy the treatment of a "hero".

But he simply couldn't think of the latter item. Who asked him to study other potential majors such as biology, chemistry, mechanics, and physics.

"Most people didn't make any money during this summer's harvest, but if Zizai Liangfang does this, the top 100 people will make a lot of money."

"It's such a pity. If I had known better, I would have worked hard. Anyway, I only had three days and it was so tiring."

After walking out of the breakfast shop, Ge Jian'an thought about it a bit as an afterthought, and finally sighed helplessly and headed towards Zizai Liangfang.

In the wasteland, no one can guess what will happen next.

Whether it is a disaster or an opportunity, only the hardest working and luckiest people can always seize the opportunity.

In terms of hard work, Ge Jianan believes that he has achieved the greatest extent.
