Chapter 46 The Surprising and Enviable Life of Dragon Kingdom's Miners

Boss Bai clothes are different today.

She usually wears a short jacket and a jacket, which shows off her curves.

This is also a very convenient outfit for fighting.

Today, she is wearing a loose white coat and flipping through a thick file.

She looks very wise, intelligent, and learned.

This kind of attractiveness is just as strong as her heroic figure.

It also gives people a different kind of surprise.

Many male compatriots were immediately fascinated by her.

She is the embodiment of wisdom and beauty.

She is even more beautiful than Hancock, the most beautiful in the world

[Sanji: Damn it! How could such an amazing woman fall in love with a man? No man in this world is good enough for her!]

[Absalom: I agree!]

[Moria: Don't be so sour. He's a king, after all. What king doesn't have plenty of women?]

[Hancock: They're all a bunch of blind fools!]

Boss Bai came to them and asked people to transport the seastone to the laboratory.

She checked the quality of all the seastone herself.

She did this not because she didn't trust the miners, but because her experiments were very demanding on seastone.

Soon, a car full of seastone was sent along the road to a large laboratory in the forest.

There was a whole science team working there.

"Remember to get off work on time. Gao Yang-sama doesn't want us to work overtime. He says that we should all have a good work-life balance. We're only allowed to work six hours a day. If you work overtime without permission, you'll be disqualified from getting the bonus. Also, no fishing during work hours."

"Boss Bai, there are only six hours of work a day, and I don't know what to do with the rest of the time. I'm so grateful that Longguo gave me a chance and food. I want to do more work!"

Newcomer miners are finding it hard to adjust to the six-hour workday.

They're used to working ten hours or more, even up to 14 or 16 hours a day.

They're also surprised by the generous salary, which is several times what they used to make.

"Spend time with your family, drink some wine, have a barbecue, or just relax. But whatever you do, don't be a shut-in!" Boss Bai said expressionless

"Yes..."

......

[Loan usury king: It's impossible! How can there be miners who only work six hours a day? That's crazy!]

[Morgans: It does seem strange. The work they were doing didn't look that hard. Maybe Long Guo is just trying to pay them less.]

[Festa: That makes sense. If the working hours are shorter, the wages will be lower too. Dragon Kingdom is really stingy! They make so much money, but they don't want to share it with the miners.]

[Queen: I don't believe it. It's probably just a front. They say they're treating the miners well, but who knows what's really going on.]

[Moria: If what you're saying is true, Long Guo is treating the miners very badly.]

[Garp: No matter how bad Long Guo is, they can't be as bad as Wanokuni. Even if the working hours are fake, they wouldn't treat the miners like disposable tools.]

Even Garp didn't believe that there were six-hour workdays.

It was hard to imagine, and he had never heard of it before.

It was like talking about sunshine to someone who had never seen it.

But the following video made them have to believe it.

.......

The video shows the miners getting off work at 4pm.

The video then focuses on one of the miners as he walks to the parking lot, gets in his car, and drives away.

The car is a common sight on the concrete roads of the Kingdom.

[Morgans: It's already time to get off work! What's going on?]

[Loan usury king: This is crazy! How can Long Guo make money with such short working hours? They were the number one on the wealth list before, so the salary must be really low, or maybe they don't even pay their workers!]

[Stussy: This is some fairy-tale working hours!]

[Aokiji: I thought only people who do seastone business had such convenient transportation, but I didn't expect it to be so popular that even miners have them!]

[Kizaru: This thing is really fast, it would be great for transportation on the island.]

[Vegapunk: They're using technology in a good way!]

The miner didn't go home right away. He went to the school gate to see the students leaving school.

There was a long line of children carrying backpacks.

The streets were clean and tidy.

The school buildings were spacious and bright.

The students were well-dressed and looked happy and carefree.

This is a common scene in Longguo, but it shocked many people in the world.

[Sengoku: There's actually a school in Dragon Kingdom! It's so big, and so many people can afford to go to school!]

Sengoku was amazed.

In this chaotic world, only a few large countries and islands have real schools.

Even then, only nobles and rich people can afford to send their children to school.

Most people rely on their ancestors to pass down knowledge.

Many people in the sea are illiterate.

This is one of the reasons why many people are easily tempted to become pirates.

They don't have the knowledge or resolution to make it on their own.

They only understand the most basic law of survival: the strong survive and the weak die.

In this world, people generally worship those with powerful strength.

This is because it is the most intuitive way to distinguish between strength and weakness.

Of course, people also know the importance of wisdom, but their knowledge is limited.

They don't know what it means to be truly wise or intelligent.

However, it is easy to see who is strong or weak.

You can just see if you can beat them or not.

[Garp: I can't believe there's a place in East Blue where education is so accessible!]

[Marco: In Longguo, even the children of miners can afford to go to school!]

[Megumi: Is that strange? School is free here!]

[Flying Squirrel: Free? Really? Even in the Marines, we have to pay for some courses!]

[Hina: With money, you can do anything!]

[Whitebeard: When I was a kid, just being able to survive was a luxury. Going to school was a distant dream.]

[Hawkeye: So you're illiterate too?]

[Red Hair: Why would you say that?]

[Hawkeye: You know why!]

[Red Hair: I went to school! A small school for a few people on my ship, but I went to school!]

[Big Mom: Seeing these carefree children, I remember when I gave birth to my first child. Children are so cute...]

The miner picked up his child and went home.

They lived in a single-family three-story house with a yard.

The houses in the community were all like this, and the environment was beautiful and clean.

The miner's wife had already prepared dinner, and the family of three enjoyed a happy meal together.

After dinner, they went for a walk in the park and then back home.

They still had time to make some supper and enjoy a leisurely drink under the starry sky.

They chatted about their day at work, their child's schooling, and played some games together.

It was a warm and beautiful evening.

[Flying Squirrel: I can't believe how comfortable and easy human life can be! And he's just a miner!]

It's hard to believe that a Marine Vice Admiral would envy the life of a miner!
