Chapter 282: Universal Planting System (21)

However—

Thanks to her little cub, Xie Yang stroked her chin, thinking of an idea to improve her earning efficiency.

She did not call her little cub home to eat, but instead returned to the house and stewed all the remaining few catties of pork trotters, which were originally kept for the mother and son to eat, into soup.

Only then did she call her son to eat.

The members of the Red Tiger Gang also finally got to taste the fresh soup that the little cub had described as being many times more delicious than dried meat.

The milky white soup was fresh, fragrant, and flavorful, and the chewy, tender pork trotters felt very satisfying to eat.

It was just that after only one bite, they swallowed it before they could even savor it.

Too little!

If only they could have another taste.

"Still want to eat?"

Xie Yang had arrived at the edge of the wasteland at some point, smiling as she looked at them:

"Wanting to eat is simple enough; help me with work."

"..."

Xie Yang had heard Xiya Ma mention the Red Tiger Gang; despite the imposing name, it was actually just a small gang that relied on snatching valuable trash from ordinary people, much like the hooligan organizations on Earth that lived by collecting protection fees.

On the Garbage Star, there were quite a few gang organizations like the Red Tiger Gang, yet few had actually made a name for themselves.

The largest gang at present was called the Dark Society, with its headquarters in the southern hemisphere. It was said that the leader had once been a Star Pirate, and after fleeing to the Garbage Star, gathered a group of followers; now, they had over a hundred errand boys alone.

Xie Yang felt a bit envious; why didn't the Red Tiger Gang recruit more followers? It was a case of regretting having too few people only when the time came to use them.

Chi Dahu: "..."

What was the meaning of that look of disappointment in her eyes when the female devil looked at him?

"Ahem."

Xie Yang cleared her throat and continued to paint a big picture... no, rather, she was planning their future:

"Your Red Tiger Gang has been established for many years now, right? How is the income? Is there an average of 500 Star Coins per person a month? Actually, 500 Star Coins only satisfies basic needs, and that's at the lowest level. Seeing that you are all not young anymore, each of you is at the age to start a family and establish a career, yet your income is still stuck at the stage where if one person is fed, the whole family is not hungry—how can this do?"

Seeing that everyone seemed moved, Xie Yang pressed on:

"People, after all, must have dreams. My dream is to make the Garbage Star full of greenery, and to make those Habitable Stars that look down on the Garbage Star chase after our Garbage Star instead. However, my individual strength is limited, so I sincerely extend an invitation to you all. I know that there were some unpleasantries between us due to a small misunderstanding before, but let bygones be bygones. How about it? Are you willing to join the 'Garbage Star Transformation Project'? Let us work together with practical actions to contribute to the planet we live on."

The members of the Red Tiger Gang: "..."

What is the female devil saying?

What Garbage Star Transformation Project?

What making the Garbage Star full of greenery?

The sky hasn't even gone completely dark yet, and she's already having beautiful dreams?

Xie Yang smiled: "Following me won't be a loss. Just like today, as long as you work hard, you can receive a portion of natural food when you finish, and you can also receive 500 Star Coins every month. This compensation shouldn't be low..."

"Natural food... is it available every day?" Jin Dawei couldn't help but ask.

Xie Yang nodded: "Every day! Conditions are limited in the early stages, so only one meal is provided a day, but the portion will definitely be larger than what you just ate."

Having said this, she returned to the house and brought out a full pot of Clear Stewed Pork Trotters, and Xie Ting ran back and forth to help distribute them, with each person receiving a full box.

"As long as you work for me, the monthly compensation is 500 Star Coins plus one meal of this food every day, whether you eat it on-site or pack it home is up to you. Once conditions allow in the later stages, we will gradually achieve three meals a day, and there might even be morning tea and afternoon tea."

"..."

The group of followers was shamefully tempted.

Regardless of whether the female devil is having a beautiful dream, as long as she can really keep her word—providing them with a meal of natural food every day, why not do it?

It's just that they feel a bit sorry for their boss...

The group of followers looked at Chi Dahu with guilty expressions in unison.

Chi Dahu glared: "What are you looking at me for!"

After speaking, he turned his head to look at Xie Yang: "When do we start? Do we need to sign an electronic contract?"

The group of followers: "..."

Holy crap!

Is this still their boss?

He knelt down to surrender so quickly!

Xie Yang was amused: "Anytime is fine, but I don't have a template for an electronic contract on hand."

"That's simple." Chi Dahu pointed to the Light Brain on her right wrist, "It's free to download on the Star Net."

"..."

She had never seen anyone so proactive about signing a contract with the party of the first part.

Xie Yang suppressed a laugh, logged onto the Star Net to download an employment version of an electronic contract, and after generating the contract content by voice, both parties signed via iris scan, with video and audio as proof, and the electronic contract took effect.

"Female... Big Boss, we want to sign too!"

"Right! Since the boss has signed, how could we not sign!"

"It's just turning over soil, I think I can do it!"

Hearing one of them say this, Xie Yang raised an eyebrow: "It's not all turning over soil, oh; you also need to help me with stocking, cleaning, chopping into pieces... In short, I will arrange your Tasks according to what each of you is good at."

"???"

They knew about turning over soil; that was the work they had done for most of the day today.

But what is stocking?

Are there any goods on the Garbage Star other than trash and Nutrient Solution? How come they didn't know after hanging around for so many years?

And cleaning, chopping into pieces... what are all these?

Xie Yang said with a smile: "Don't worry, don't worry, you'll understand after coming along with me for a trip tomorrow."

"..."

The female devil's smile gave them a sense of ominous foreboding.

The next day, this premonition came true...

When they followed the female... boss to the Zone 1 Ecological Garbage Dump and were ordered by the boss to move piles of stinking livestock offal onto the Flying Vehicle, they were completely numb.

Damn it, is this what the boss called "stocking up"?

It was a bolt from the blue!

An even bigger shock was yet to come—

After returning to the boss's home with a cargo hold full of livestock offal, the boss actually ordered them to wash feces... no, to wash large intestines! The smell was truly... ugh!

It was hard to stomach... ugh!

It was too stinking... ugh!

Chi Dahu was the first one who couldn't take it and ran to the wasteland to vomit.

Jin Dawei, Yin Dameng, and the other underlings didn't fare any better; one by one, they vomited until their faces turned deathly pale.

They regretted it! Sob sob!

Why were they so foolish as to sign an electronic contract!

If they hadn't signed, at most they would have had to clear one mu of wasteland for the female devil to get their Light Brains back and return to the Red Tiger Gang to continue their old days of loafing around.

Now it was too late; having signed the electronic contract, they had to help the female devil do this kind of work every day. Just thinking about it was despairing.

This wasn't an electronic contract at all; it was clearly a deed of indenture!

And to make matters worse, they had rushed to sign it themselves, with both video and audio recordings; there was nowhere to go to file a complaint.

Besides, what kind of institution on Garbage Star would uphold justice for this sort of thing?

It was already quite good that the boss was willing to sign an electronic contract with them and give them 500 Star Coins a month plus one meal of natural food a day as compensation, rather than beating them flat, kicking them until they coughed up blood, and forcing them to work for free.

That may be true, but why pick up this stinking garbage and wash it? Does the boss have some special fetish?
