Era of Breakdown

v19 Chapter 17: Blind that face

Remember [New] for a second,! "Then go to the contract market first. I am very interested in this mode of operation of Alexandria." Yae Ji said, pointing to a red dot on the map.

"Contract Market?" Rita, who was also coming to the city for the first time, was very curious about this. "It sounds like a place for selecting elves in the Far East anime."

"Slightly similar, but replace 'elf' with 'human'."

"Human?" Rita was surprised. "That makes me feel more like..."

"Slave market, right?" Yae Ji took over, "In fact, the block we are standing in used to be the famous slave market in Alexandria, but with the progress of the times, it was eliminated and replaced with a contract market. .

It is said that the 'slaves' there are citizens of Alexandria who owe debts. Until the debts they owe are repaid, they have always been 'public indentured slaves'. If this generation is not finished, the next generation Continue to pay, so repeatedly, there are not low interest rates. Does it sound incredible? "

"Well." Rita nodded slightly, "It's hard to imagine how they kept this system from collapsing."

"Because the time is short enough." Yae Ji explained: "It has only been a few decades since Alexandria officially implemented this system, and the accumulation of contradictions has not reached the point where the existing system needs to be changed. Condition.

I remember someone in our world said something... The essence of the economy is an endless zero-sum game... But compared to the economic environment, the collapse is the first of all contradictions. "

Yaeji has lived for a long time, and Rita's education since childhood was extraordinary. No matter where the two talked, they could chat with each other from a non-professional perspective, and the atmosphere was cheerful for a while.

The contract market is not as bad as Rita imagined. The "public indentured slaves" who are temporarily limited in their freedom of life are more like people waiting to be hired.

There are many human chambers of commerce, where all kinds of talents can be found, even young "slaves" with little talent can find a manual labor under the government to pay off their debts.

"It's incredible." Seeing a technical talent happily "sell" herself, Rita felt that her three views were impacted, "It is more suitable to be called a 'large-scale talent market' than the contract market. .."

"No no no, there is a fundamental difference between the two."

"What's the difference?" Rita retorted: "It's all about finding a job, but the latter doesn't need to pay the necessary debts."

Yaeji: "...The person who proposed this system may have passed through modern civilization..."

"Mobile phone" suddenly complained, making Yae Ji not sure what to say.

Yae Ji, who has always been curious to watch "Public Indentured Slaves", did not know that they were also being targeted by others.

Cage Contracts Inc.

"Boss! Boss! This is the best of two other places!"

The thin, dark man bowed his waist with a cheap look on his face, like a mouse lurking in the sewers.

"How many times have I said it! You want to call me the boss!" The well-dressed rich man tried to unbutton his suit, but he couldn't.

"Also, how do you know that they are from other places!"

"Hey~" the skinny man said, "The clothes are all unseen styles. The two superstars have been talking about slavery and the chaos in the market. It's the first time I've come here. I'm curious about everything. ."

"This is the image I took secretly." The thin man showed the photo in a gifted way.

The side faces of Yae Ji and Rita chatting and laughing are printed on it, and the extremely high appearance and the appearance of a clever smile make the well-informed and rich man also widen his eyes.

"How is it, boss?" The skinny man grinned, showing his savagely growing yellow teeth, and asked for credit, "This time I can make a big deal."

"Big one? Fuck Nima!" To the rich man who was briefly stunning in the photo, he threw the device on the face of the skinny man and said, "This is Alexandria, not yours. Smelly and messy hometown! It's illegal to sell shit! Why do you want me to become a public indentured slave too?! I see you kindly take in you for the sake of your cousin. "

The thin man with a cut on his face was a little stunned. He didn't expect the boss's temper to be so explosive, but the instinct in his bones still made him flatter: "Boss, two outsiders..."

"Fuck you! Not to mention outsiders, even indentured slaves!" The rich man kicked the man again and walked away cursing.

The rich man has been disliked by this man for a long time. He has formed gangs when he first came here, and he also wanted to make some quick money. Last time, he persuaded a few words on his sister's face, which forced the child to become more and more recent. If he goes too far, he must quickly find an understanding to get him away.

"Damn it!" After seeing the person leaving, the skinny man couldn't help but scolded: "I call you boss for your face, and I really consider myself a master! In my hometown, I was buried in a ditch! That bitch* Also, lie to me to come here to make money, I ****!"

The thin man's eyes revealed a bit of viciousness, and combined with the bloodstains on his face, he was a bit fierce at that time.

"After finishing this vote, it will be planted on you! I will make you crazy!"

Yae Ji and Rita spent a lot of time shopping in the contract market. Maybe they looked young, and they didn't have the technical public contract slaves to promote themselves. On the contrary, the housekeepers saw their temperament and dressed very well. , have stepped forward to promote themselves.

After the skinny man got in touch with the friends who hang out with each other on weekdays~lightnovelpub.net~, he immediately found the two of them.

"Hey, two ladies, I'm..."

"I'm sorry, we have no plans to hire people." Yae Ji, who was troubled by the salesmanship, didn't wait for the man to finish, and simply interrupted and returned to the absolute side.

The man's eyes showed ruthlessness for a moment, and then he smiled humbly: "Both are noble sisters, so naturally they don't look down on those crooked melons and jujubes that sell themselves in the market. Alexandria is so big and capable. Good-looking indentured slaves have long been picked away. It is not easy to get a batch of good goods every week, and they are often monopolized by the above. It is not easy to get high-quality ones, regardless of the number of gold diggers in the market. , There may not be one treasure among the hundreds of slaves.

I think the two of you are the kind of people whose time is much more valuable than money. My boss has just arrived a batch of good goods this morning. Come and see? Maybe you can find a match for your eyes. "

Rita first looked at Yaeji and asked, "Master Yae, what do you think?"

'It turns out that this figureless tablet is a young lady, I almost lost sight of it. ' The skinny boy whispered in his heart, 'This figure has blinded that fox face. ’
