"What the hell?! Three cans..."
Before Shen Yu could finish his words, the big man quickly put a finger in front of his mouth——
"Shh..."
Shen Yu shut up all of a sudden and looked at the big man, not knowing what he meant.
Didn't you say that there was no one around? You're not allowed to say that?
But Shen Yu didn't ask. Instead, he thought about it carefully, changed his angle, and started eating from these three cans of energy cubes...
"Dude, the subsidy for three cans of energy cubes shouldn't be low... Even the cheapest one on the market is not cheap."
This was a fact. Shen Yu had seen it in an elf breeding store. Even the most common energy cubes cost hundreds of dollars a can - it would be better to say that energy cubes were not something that elves could eat, and there were very few people like Shen Yu who could make high-quality ones.
Normally, elves eat rationed elf food, and sometimes they add a few energy cubes to the rice to supplement nutrition... But it's not like Shen Yu's house, where there is a special slot for the energy cubes in the rice bowl and they are piled up like a small mountain.
To Shen Yu's surprise, the person in front of him was not satisfied with the current subsidy.
"It's not low...it's indeed not low."
He nodded, but then shook his head, as if there was a fire burning in his heart.
"Hey man, if it was the kind of energy cubes sold in the Pokémon breeding shop outside, I wouldn't say that."
Shen Yu frowned slightly.
Energy cubes... Is it possible that there are people cutting corners in the alliance?
Seeing Shen Yu's expression, the big man knew what he meant. He spread his hands and glared at him.
"You should know that the low-level staff of the alliance like us also receive some subsidies for our daily work, right? Whether it's for living or work - most of them are for the training of elves. I shouldn't need to explain more, right?"
"Yeah, I understand." Shen Yu nodded - the work elves and the alliance have a contractual relationship, and they are just colleagues with these staff members. When they are assigned to be partners, the staff members must also take on the task of feeding the elves.
"My usual subsidy is three cans of these most common energy cubes a month, which I use to provide my work partner Houndoom with sufficient nutrition... But now, my boss told me that our subsidy this month has suddenly disappeared due to some bosses' external cooperation! Guess what, man, the energy cubes came to me in the form of overtime pay, so where did my subsidy go?"
"Forehead……"
If Shen Yu still couldn't understand what he meant, he should jump into the lake next to him and wash his head.
"These leaders and bosses are just like flies and cow dung! One is annoying to death, and the other is so smelly that it makes me dizzy!"
The big man seemed to have opened up his chatterbox over this matter, and couldn't stop at all, and even expanded the topic to a wider range of things -
"Dude... Oh no, brother! Can you understand me? My daughter will be seven soon, and her birthday is next month. Although my family is definitely not as wealthy as those nobles, I promised her that I would do my best to prepare a gift that she would absolutely be satisfied with... So I started working overtime half a year ago for this gift... Otherwise, who would work the night shift in this place where no one lives!"
He had finished smoking a cigarette, and he threw the butt at his feet and stepped on it a few times, as if venting his anger at something.
Seeing this, Shen Yu quickly took the second cigarette and helped him light it. He did not refuse and took it politely.
To be honest, although this big man has a burly build... he looks very young. Shen Yu believes that if he hadn't handed him a cigarette, he would never have heard such a story.
The big man picked up the second cigarette and took another deep puff.
"I'm really saved... for that elf egg, brother, you know what? The cigarettes I used to smoke were all top-quality ones! They're no less good than your pack!"
When he talked about this, his brows began to dance, and the darkness on his face could not be concealed.
"Huh?" Shen Yu added a supporting role at the right time.
"But I don't smoke anymore! When I get addicted... I just smoke ordinary cigarettes to satisfy my craving. But today before going to work, I found that I had run out of cigarettes! I wanted to buy some but it was too late... You know, since I applied for overtime, if I'm not there when the time is up, I will not be able to get the overtime pay that was kindly given to me."
He held the cigarette in his mouth, patted his pocket, and pulled out his inner pocket... It was clean, and he couldn't help but show an expression of grievance. But soon, he changed his expression and began to be beaming with joy again.
"But my daughter wants that fairy egg! I can't let her down! In her immature worldview, I am an omnipotent father!"
Speaking of this, his back, which had just been bent, straightened up now, and he looked as energetic as a young man in his twenties.
"Brother, you have a happy life~"
"Of course! And my wife... She is really good to me and supports me. Our wedding was not perfect. I want to prepare a gift for her that will make her feel that choosing me was the right decision~"
The big man talked nonstop, and when he talked about his wife, he was so proud... It was like he was showing off his most precious treasure. Shen Yu was also listening carefully, and occasionally agreed with him.
"By the way, brother, why are you here? You heard me say this place is a place where neither birds nor dogs pee."
He had finished his second cigarette and threw the butt on the ground. He pursed his lips and didn't dare to ask for a third one.
But Shen Yu could see that this guy was really frustrated - it was difficult to go from extravagant to frugal, and the cigarettes in his hand tasted completely different from ordinary tobacco.
He smiled, put the pack of cigarettes into his hand, and raised the lighter.
No one can resist such temptation. Maybe a pack of cigarettes is too little... but if there is a lighter in front of you, it is a completely different concept.
After looking at Shen Yu's face, the big man shook his head, as if he had let go of something, and also hooked Shen Yu's shoulders.
"Come on, brother, ask whatever you want to ask! Although I don't know this place very well... I know exactly who went in during the days I was on duty and what rumors were spread inside!"
Shen Yu raised the corner of his mouth and looked into his half-smile eyes. He did not ask these questions right away, but instead asked another irrelevant question.
"Now that we are brothers... before that, I want to know your name."
"Hello! Hans! A native of Leshon! What about you?"
"I'm from Dongyao, my name is Shen Yu."
