When Lu Ping arrived at the port, he saw that the trucks queuing up to pull goods had already lined up a hundred meters long.
Countless stevedores are busy back and forth, unloading cargo from shipping containers and loading them onto trucks. But obviously the efficiency cannot keep up with the speed of trucks... The queues of the fleet are getting longer and longer.
"Is that Lupin? Over here!" Someone recognized Lupin's appearance in the projection of the electronic wristband and waved.
Lupine trotted over.
Wearing an old electronic bracelet from his original body, he touched the other person lightly to confirm his identity.
"There are special circumstances today. Two loading and unloading machines have broken down. The transport speed cannot keep up with the transshipment speed. The queue of the fleet is already too long..." The person who spoke was one of the foremen responsible for directing the loading and unloading. There was sweat on his forehead. , it was obvious that he was under pressure from above, "Brothers, please work hard today. You can't take a break in between. You will work directly until dinner in one go. I will give you a 20% salary increase!"
"We don't have time to break it down. Why don't you work as a team of six and jointly take charge of the blue container. The unloading will be completed before seven o'clock tonight. The 1,200 yuan will be divided per head. Do you have any objections?"
Before Lu Ping could speak, several powerful stevedores nearby looked at Lu Ping's thin body and shook their heads.
One of the middle-aged men with tattoos on his arms whispered: "Head, an average score is not impossible, but the premise is that everyone does the same job. But you can tell by looking at the body shape that someone is obviously holding back."
Several other people immediately nodded again and again.
They are all hard workers, and no one wants others to take a piece of the pie.
The foreman's face looked a little ugly. Normally, there would be someone supervising the work, keeping track of how much each person had done, and finally sharing the money according to their work. However, today's situation was special, and he was about to command the next group of people. There was time there. Are you counting the details here?
He looked at Lu Ping's body again... and frowned even more. No one who has been loading and unloading all year round doesn't have thick arms, but Lu Ping has the body of a thin and frail young man. Even if he is not assigned with this group of people, the next group of people will still have it. Opinion.
The foreman was thinking about not using Lupin at all, when he suddenly heard Lupine suggesting:
"Indeed, if the efficiency is different, don't allocate them together. Can I be responsible for a container alone?"
"What?" The foreman looked at him like a fool.
There are at least ten tons of cargo in a container. If the cargo is unloaded purely manually, even a strong loader may not be able to finish it all day long, and now there are only four hours until dinner time.
So it was more reasonable for him to arrange for six people to go together.
Lu Ping knew that it would be hard for people to believe him just by talking, so he walked towards a pile of sacks not far away.
That is a very common cargo on the dock here. Cinders are packed in bags. One bag weighs fifty kilograms. Usually, a stevedore can carry up to four sacks at a time. Any more will affect his ability to walk.
Lupine stretched out his hand and grabbed two of them with one hand. The muscles of his arms bulged a little imperceptibly, and he lifted them up at once, shaking them up and down, looking very relaxed.
The other five stevedores all looked as if they had seen a ghost, and even the foreman was dull.
Lifting horizontally and carrying it on the shoulders are two different concepts. They have been loading and unloading all year round, but it would be very difficult to lift a bag of cinders horizontally. However, the boy in front of him was lifting two bags of cinders with each arm and making an effortless movement like shaking them up and down. ...In their eyes, Lupine is still a frail young man, he is simply an animal in human skin!
The middle-aged stevedore who was the first to object couldn't help but blush. Just now he suspected that the head-based division would give the other party an advantage... Now it seems that the five of them almost took advantage...
Of course, this is just a small episode. There are many people who are born with great strength, and some of them are indeed inconspicuous at first glance. For the foreman, none of this mattered. Quickly solving the longer and longer queue of trucks was the first priority... So he quickly assigned the other five people to a container, and Lu Ping was actually assigned a separate container. A dark red container.
This loading and unloading work was also a test for Lu Ping.
He is testing the actual effects of the genes of Luxi cattle and Ili horses...
In "Prokaryotic Evolution", players can independently adjust the proportions of various genes to affect the ability values of recombinant organisms. As for the appearance of the reorganized creature, it is not decided by the player, but the result of automatic calculation and optimization by the system.
Just like when Lupine first traveled through time, his muscles were obviously bloated and abnormally bloated. It was only after the optimization of the game that he formed a more perfect and strong cow-horse form.
Through repeated experiments, Lu Ping discovered that the genes of Luxi cattle mainly provide strong muscle explosive power. Adding 5% of Luxi cattle genes can allow him to easily move 200 kilograms of cargo; while the genes of Yili horses are good for The increase in strength is weaker than that of the Luxi cattle gene, but the muscular endurance has been greatly improved. The 5% Yili horse gene allows him to carry goods with his own maximum load more than ten times at a time, without needing to rest in between!
And 10% seems to be a threshold.
Whether it is the genes of Luxi cattle or Ili horses, once the genes are incorporated by more than 10%, his current body shape will begin to change significantly!
More than 10% of Luxi cattle genes will make his muscles thick and hard, with distinct lumps, like iron blocks hidden under the skin, while more than 10% of Ili horse genes will make him taller and easier to grow. Breaking through 1.9 meters and approaching the two-meter mark.
After this test... Lu Ping finally had a more accurate understanding of his "ox-horse" form.
Soon it was time for dinner... Lupine's appetite also shocked everyone.
Others use bowls to eat, and loaders with big appetites are usually full after eating three large bowls... But Lu Ping just grabbed a bucket, used the bowl as a spoon, and dug into the bucket to eat.
Of course, the food provided to the workers at the dock is only the cheapest synthetic food puree.
Lu Ping's eating look as if he was a starved man reincarnated scared many stevedores and even the foreman. Fortunately, he didn't pay for the meal. Plus, he remembered that Lu Ping had managed a container by himself, so he acquiesced. He occupied one of the barrels by himself.
After finishing the meal and settling the wages, Lu Ping happily received the transfer of 1,200 yuan in general currency!
The foreman even added his virtual number and said that he might contact him in the future if there were special circumstances. Of course, Lu Ping was happy to agree.
"After eating and drinking, it's time to get down to business." Lu Ping left the dock, turned on his electronic bracelet, and saw the address in the memo.
That was the offline address of the shop selling canned beef and horse meat jerky that he recorded...
For Lu Ping, improving the ability value of the cow-horse form and having stronger self-protection power are the most urgent and only business matters at the moment! Traveling from a peaceful era to this world where security is in a mess, and he is a precarious poor man, even if Lupine has the form of an ox and a horse, he still suffers from a serious lack of security.
According to the product introduction, the raw material of the canned beef sold in this food store happens to be Luxi yellow beef!
The horse meat jerky didn’t say what kind of horse it was...
Although this store provides postage, the postage is not cheap. Lu Ping is not a rich man now, so naturally he can save a little bit, so he decided to go to the door to buy it in person.
After many twists and turns, I finally found this store called "Liaoyuan Food" at the corner of an intersection. The decoration of the storefront looks quite clean and bright. After all, the main consumer group of this kind of original ecological food is at least from the foggy area. The middle class.
