So, let's write down: point one - buy earplugs.

Camrad_RIP 11.02.22 в 19:28

I seemed terribly tired, but I got so much sleep in six hours that I lay staring dumbly into the bars of the upper bed at dawn. Then I realized, jumped up, and rushed to wash my face. Indeed, a lot of people, only two toilets, the realities of a cruel world. So and tried to catch up everywhere, until suddenly I found myself on the street, briskly pacing to the subway. Not a cab waiting, no, that was beyond our means, working people! To the subway, to the depths, which is symbolic!

Camrad_RIP 11.02.22 в 19:32

And already there I began to make a plan.

Camrad_RIP 11.02.22 в 19:32

The first point is earplugs. The second is a sleep mask. Third, a towel, and stuff like that. Otherwise, I'll grow a beard and a crust of dirt in a week. No tips for such a deliverer, so I have to take care of myself. Besides, whoever disregards the rules of the dormitory and actively smells, gets beaten up. Like that man last night...

Camrad_RIP 11.02.22 в 19:34

So, at the same time, I need to understand this "system" of theirs. Understandably, the calculation is for students, game motivation, and other crap, but the thing about any system is that it can be hacked! That's why manual control is more profitable - one of the pearls of wisdom of the daddy.

Camrad_RIP 11.02.22 в 19:35

How am I supposed to hack this particular system, given that every courier... Okay, let's be realistic - every twentieth courier, the rest are fine, have thought about it?

Camrad_RIP 11.02.22 в 19:36

While they were pushing me, rubbing against my sides, trying to move me, and snorting indignantly when they failed, I studied the app. It was glitchy to the core because some of the functions were available but then turned off dead. I should have gone into slavery to the yellows or the greens, this system is obviously new... On the other hand, is that why they pay more?
T.N.

Camrad_RIP 11.02.22 в 19:37

Just as long as they have money left on their staff after all these games.

Camrad_RIP 11.02.22 в 19:38

As a matter of habit, I went into the waiting room and was surprised to find that at eight in the morning there were already a lot of people there. Then I remembered that I was no longer a job seeker, but a hired staff, and my waiting room, or whatever it was, was the seventh one. I had to go outside, walk in circles around the entire building, then swear and study the phone. Fortunately, the address popped up in the suddenly working app.

Camrad_RIP 11.02.22 в 19:45

Soon you won't be able to go to the bathroom without the app, you'll get lost!

Camrad_RIP 11.02.22 в 19:45

Finally, the right entrance was found.

Camrad_RIP 11.02.22 в 19:45

It's just an ordinary pickup point. I've seen them many times. In pictures on the Internet.

Camrad_RIP 11.02.22 в 19:46

The racks stretched along the wall, number one on the left, number two... behind number six was a curtain of plastic strips. As I pulled them apart, I stepped inside.

Camrad_RIP 11.02.22 в 19:51

Aha.

Camrad_RIP 11.02.22 в 19:51

There were far fewer people here. Only five people per thirty meters of space, but what a bunch! If I lived in a soap opera, it would obviously be a comedy. There was Brute, half-lounging on a bench embedded in the floor; opposite him by the window Abstinence was shivering in a messenger's cloak; next to the empty counter Clever Boy was actively scrolling on his phone; in the corner, the Old Man was lurking with a natural paper newspaper.

Camrad_RIP 11.02.22 в 19:54

And, of course, in the center of the hall sat blowing a bubble of gum Tomboy.

Camrad_RIP 11.02.22 в 19:55

Now, if I understand it correctly, they have Fatty.

Camrad_RIP 11.02.22 в 19:55

Well, that's not a bad deal. Because if Tomboy is not the main character's girlfriend, but is taken for comic relief, then I might get something of her in the finale, on the credits. Although, of course, I'll have to put up with her politically incorrect jokes for ten episodes - that's as usual.

Camrad_RIP 11.02.22 в 19:57

"Hello, folks!"

Camrad_RIP 11.02.22 в 19:57

Four heads turned toward me, and only the Old Man shot his eyes at me obliquely.

Camrad_RIP 11.02.22 в 19:57

"Where do they give out the bags here?"

Camrad_RIP 11.02.22 в 19:59

Everyone nodded at the counter at the same time. Well, that's what I thought.

Camrad_RIP 11.02.22 в 19:59

The storekeeper, slightly unshaven for the past two weeks, was a relative of Abstinence, or at least an ideological associate of his. Too bad, with a staff like that, there'd be less order. The racks behind the storekeeper's back were separated from the hall by the same plastic canopy, and it was impossible to see anything.

Camrad_RIP 11.02.22 в 20:00

Trying not to get caught in the exhaust, I still have to talk to people, I just turned to him a picture of the supposed reward and raised my eyebrows questioningly.

Camrad_RIP 11.02.22 в 20:01

"Give it."

Camrad_RIP 11.02.22 в 20:01

He nodded hintingly at my phone, but didn't take it, just held the "temperature gun" over the screen. Then he ducked behind the curtain - I couldn't see anything again. And almost immediately he came back out.

Camrad_RIP 11.02.22 в 20:02

"Accept. Check the box that you have accepted the gift."

Camrad_RIP 11.02.22 в 20:02

No further proof was needed, but what was the need for it in the age of technology?

Camrad_RIP 11.02.22 в 20:03

The bag was slightly different from the standard boxes. Black... or gray... or bright green... Damn, it was some kind of plastic with overtones. In short, I got a pretty good device, no shame to walk around town. The size is also quite compact, but the straps are wide and solid back. In fact, the whole bag looks more like a soldier's rucksack of the old days than a messenger bag, I even knocked on the wall, inquiring:

Camrad_RIP 11.02.22 в 20:04

"Bulletproof?"

Camrad_RIP 11.02.22 в 20:04

The storekeeper did not support the joke.

Camrad_RIP 11.02.22 в 20:05

"Up to twenty millimeters. Once."

Camrad_RIP 11.02.22 в 20:05

And immediately he ducked behind his curtain.

Camrad_RIP 11.02.22 в 20:06

After rummaging through the app, I found the "system man" and poked him in the back with my finger. The picture immediately enlarged, and I could see that there were plenty of slots for equipment. What's more, the status bar above his head blinked, and "courier, B2" changed to "courier, B3. Well, that's more interesting.

Camrad_RIP 11.02.22 в 20:10

A quick check showed that the list of available orders changes depending on the equipment. Clearly, here you need to earn points, for which you will be given the damn things you don't need, which you equip on the man, and then more orders will open. Carrots are hung in front of your nose in abundance, run and collect.

Camrad_RIP 11.02.22 в 20:10

Another check kind of hinted that Big Brother was watching me because as soon as I stepped away from the bag a meter away, the entire "B3" order panel disappeared. Sending a picture of her and walking around lightly wasn't going to work, but I wasn't going to. No, honestly I wasn't. Well, almost.

Camrad_RIP 11.02.22 в 20:11

My colleagues watched my study of the new condition with mild interest. Deciding that they would not leave me, but the profitable orders might, I quickly flipped through the list. The one in the general section was not surprising: orders were appearing and disappearing, chosen by more agile workers, some were hanging motionless. I have to remember, if others do not take, then I should not. Worse, there were practically no bonuses in the general section, and you can only buy "equipment in the system slots" with them. But even for the cheapest "ring of businesslike inconspicuousness" you have to grind around for a week.

Camrad_RIP 11.02.22 в 20:13

However, I could take a "guaranteed order package" available for "B2-3," which would allow me to fill up that same ring in a couple of days. Besides, the money was better, too.

Camrad_RIP 11.02.22 в 20:13

Having made up my mind, I spoke into the air:

Camrad_RIP 11.02.22 в 20:14

"Okay, I need to hit fifteen calls today. How hard is that?"

Camrad_RIP 11.02.22 в 20:14

The Brute responded:

Camrad_RIP 11.02.22 в 20:15

The level of difficulty is "god". I don't take more than one a week.

Camrad_RIP 11.02.22 в 20:15

"And what, enough?"

Camrad_RIP 11.02.22 в 20:16

"I confirmed my qualifications, and that's fine."

Camrad_RIP 11.02.22 в 20:16

He lazily moved his feet:

Camrad_RIP 11.02.22 в 20:17

"Don't be in a hurry to run, better to sit for the mandatory, here in the hall."

Camrad_RIP 11.02.22 в 20:18

"They won't kick me out?"

Camrad_RIP 11.02.22 в 20:18

Everyone grinned in unison, but did not continue the conversation. Apparently, they hacked the system in their own way - they found a way to get the minimum wage without doing anything. No, that wouldn't work for me, I'd have to raise the money in a week.

Camrad_RIP 11.02.22 в 20:19

I can't endure more than a week in a hostel.

Camrad_RIP 11.02.22 в 20:20
