Qianlong knocked on the door of the next house, then placed the Nutrition Bar inside, awkwardly explaining the situation to them.
For some reason, Qianlong felt a heavy sense of gratitude from their expressions, a forced gratitude because they were actually very sad.
To be honest, he didn't like this job, but since it was work, there was no such thing as liking or disliking.
It wasn't until close to noon that Qianlong knocked on the door of the next house.
Athena opened the door, and upon seeing Qianlong standing at the entrance, she was somewhat surprised.
"This is your quota."
"Wasn't it already distributed?" Athena asked.
"This is a second distribution. Where should I put it?"
"I can take it from here." Athena reached out to take the Nutrition Bar.
Qianlong organized her thoughts and said, "According to the spaceship's policy, the rooms here can be used free of charge for three months, after which there will be a fee each month. During that time, some basic facilities are also free, such as lighting and designated drinking water."
"Thank you," Athena replied flatly.
Qianlong continued to explain, "The job competition pressure here is very high. If possible, try to look for work. I don't know how to explain it, but there are indeed very few job openings here."
Athena looked up at Qianlong and asked, "Can I enlist in the military?"
Qianlong was at a loss for how to answer Athena's question. After a moment, she said, "I'm sorry, I can't answer that. It seems there are additional rules regarding this, and joining the Hyberian military is quite difficult and requires meeting certain conditions."
"I understand," Athena said.
Just as Qianlong was about to leave, she hesitated and finally asked, "Why do you want to enlist?"
Athena looked up seriously and said, "For revenge."
Qianlong fell silent; she had nothing to say to that reason. In fact, Qianlong knew very well that most people living in Area F had similar feelings, just to varying degrees.
"Take care of yourself. If you need anything, you can find me. I live at F2-65-345-244," Qianlong said.
"Okay," Athena replied.
Qianlong walked out, took a deep breath, and continued to the next house.
Phantom's voice rang out: "Qianlong, your heart rate was not very steady just now. To put it in human terms, your emotions are fluctuating."
Qianlong didn't know how to respond and finally said, "Uh-huh."
By the time evening approached, Qianlong had finally finished distributing everything.
A notification popped up.
"Dear Mr. Qianlong, your application for Dore at Borokahn Elementary Academy has been approved. Please complete the relevant procedures at the academy within three days."
Seeing this message, Qianlong felt a headache coming on. Kromi had gone to a meeting, and she didn't know when it would end. She needed to find him; otherwise, Qianlong wouldn't even be able to enter Area B.
Qianlong sent Kromi a message to inquire.
About ten minutes later, Kromi replied.
"Tomorrow noon, the meeting will be over."
"Kromi!" A somewhat angry voice rang out.
In a large circular conference room, an old man on the stage looked rather unfriendly.
Kromi smiled and said, "Yes, what's wrong?"
"Your area has the most serious complaints about security issues. Over sixty percent of the theft incidents come from your Area F."
Kromi's mouth twitched; how was he supposed to know that?
"As the commander of the guard team in Area F, do you think you have no responsibility?"
"I think what you're saying is true, but other factors also need to be considered," said a woman sitting next to Kromi, wearing a blue dress and a monocle.
"Savina, are you explaining for Kromi? No need to rush to explain; you oversee the administration of Area F, so you share some responsibility," said a very thin man next to her.
Savina ignored the speaker and addressed the old man on the stage.
"First, I need you to understand that the population of Area F accounts for half of the entire spaceship. How many human resources do we provide each year, including the Hyberian guard team, mining teams, and engineering personnel? Everyone should have an idea. Also, how many people emigrate from Area F to other areas each year, promoting the prosperity of those areas? Against this backdrop, Area F receives the least resource supply each year. I want to ask, given the limited resources, we have already achieved this level. Do you think someone else could do better, or does anyone want to switch places with Kromi?"
As she spoke, Savina's gaze turned to the thin man who had previously mocked her.
"Don't look at me; I have no interest in that pile of refugee shelters. The situation today is also due to your policies, Savina, because of your sheltering policies, the pressure on the spaceship is immense."
Savina took a deep breath and said, "Each of them has contributed to Hyberian; you have no right to call them refugees. Second, the current situation requires the unity of all humanity. I hope you can understand this principle."
Suddenly, there was a commotion in the meeting, and the chairman on the stage took a deep breath and knocked on the table with a gavel.
"Silence."
The commotion immediately quieted down.
"Kromi, regardless of the circumstances, the security of Area F is still under your control. If there are problems, you need to find a way to solve them. As for the issues in Area F, everyone has seen them. Since there are problems, they need to be resolved. This year, all areas will have their budgets cut, and the savings will be allocated to Area F."
The other area leaders looked speechless; this couldn't have been pre-prepared to deliberately find trouble for Kromi and drag this issue out, could it?
Kromi wiped the cold sweat from his forehead; the chairman seemed intent on making things difficult for him.
Fortunately, the outcome was not bad.
The meeting finally concluded, and Kromi followed Savina out of the conference hall.
"Sorry for the trouble," Kromi said.
Savina turned to Kromi and said, "No need for such formalities; it doesn't suit your character. I was the one who asked you to take this position, so I should be the one thanking you. I think you're doing great, and I can't find anyone else who could replace you."
Seeing Kromi take out a cigarette and put it in his mouth, Savina said, "Smoke less; it's not good for your health."
Kromi lit the cigarette and took a puff, saying, "This is the only vice I have left."
Savina continued, "I have to go to another meeting. Contact me if you need anything."
"Go ahead; it's nothing. Those guys are just blowing hot air," Kromi said nonchalantly.
"By the way, I heard you fought Tawiken," Savina suddenly remembered this matter.
