Chapter 106 I Want to Complain
Chapter 106 I Want to Complain
"It's nothing important."
Andor didn't want to talk to him. "You don't need to understand this kind of thing."
Translation: Do you even understand?
"Okay, fine."
Nordlin began piloting the spaceship to take them away from this place.
"You didn't bring any other insects?"
When Nordlin arrived, Shen Qingqing was wondering why he was the only insect among them.
Sure enough, when Shen Qingqing asked, Nordlin smiled confidently, "Of course, one bug is enough for me, I don't need them to hold me back!"
Confidence is the key to success.
Nordlin has always only played in the top-tier tournaments.
"Tell the other fleets to keep up, I'm going to go full throttle."
The moment the spacecraft started, Andorra was already seated and had fastened his seatbelt.
Noticing Shen Qingqing looking at him, he kindly reminded her, "You should fasten yours too, for safety."
When Klein left the planet, he had not yet met the young general Nordlin. Although he was puzzled, he felt that Andor would not deceive the insect queen, so he fastened her seatbelt.
But he didn't tie it for himself.
Seeing that they didn't believe in his driving skills, Nordlin pouted.
"You still trust me."
He told Klein, "Besides Lord Gatana, you are the second reason why I believe in the technology of this insect."
"This time, I will make sure you are safely delivered to the main starship!"
The fleet that was originally following behind the spaceship only saw the spaceship in the middle shake slightly, as if it had a cramp.
The next second, to the surprise of all the insects, the spaceship where the queen insect was located exploded, and its tail spewed out a blazing light that shone brightly in the long, dark night.
It was like suddenly stepping on the gas when the light turned green; Klein was thrown off and then stood up awkwardly.
"Are you OK?"
Just as Shen Qingqing was about to get up, Andor pressed her shoulder down, saying, "Take care of yourself first, he'll be fine."
"I'm fine, Qingqing."
Klein forced a stiff smile, his fingers gripping the edge of the spaceship so tightly that his nails almost dug in.
"Hey, why are you so frail..." Nordlin continued speeding the spaceship, not forgetting to glance at him occasionally, "Are you alright, buddy?"
"……fine."
Klein thought for a moment about what else was in the contract and asked, "Colonel Nordlin, does the contract include a clause about paying my social insurance and housing fund contributions?"
One of the insects, not having heard clearly, asked, "Huh? What's five social insurances and one housing fund?"
With a sigh, Klein felt it was necessary to tell him, "The five social insurances and one housing fund refer to maternity insurance, work injury insurance, unemployment insurance, medical insurance, and pension insurance; while the housing fund refers to the housing provident fund."
"You don't even know this?"
"..." Nordlin remained silent.
Damn, he really didn't know about the "five social insurances and one housing fund".
Gatana hadn't mentioned it to him before.
However, he did understand the meaning of one of the insurance names in it.
"But the maternity insurance inside... tsk, what, you can have children?"
After saying that, he looked at Klein's flat stomach.
They were considering the possibility of males reproducing.
Feeling uneasy under his gaze, Klein warned, "Please be careful not to look around or wander about while the spaceship is in motion. Be mindful of safety."
When he turned around, Klein spoke, “You just caused me physical and mental trauma by driving, and since I was on duty, I am eligible to apply for workers’ compensation and leave.”
The fleet following the spaceship then saw it suddenly stop again.
What are you doing?
The "Basic Rules for Spacecraft Operation" do not allow a spacecraft to stop suddenly during its journey!
Do you understand that you need to turn on your hazard lights?!
Nordlin felt that the pretty boy was just looking for trouble. "You haven't even started working yet, why are you taking a vacation again?"
"Please note that this refers to workers' compensation and leave," Klein added.
"So, I have to pay you back before I even have a chance to use you?"
Nordlin was so angry his head was practically steaming. "How can you be so unreasonable, you worm!"
"Colonel, that's what it says in the labor contract."
With neither arrogance nor servility, Klein is defending his rights in accordance with interstellar labor law.
"Damn it! How did I end up with a living father like you?!"
Nordlin's usually dull mind started working for the first time, and he remembered that Nordlin still owed him money.
"Then use the money you owe me to make up for it, and now we're even!"
Shen Qingqing was dumbfounded by what she saw.
"That Andorra, what's the average salary for a Zergling again?"
"Reporting to you, sir, the average wage for Zerg is currently about thirty star coins per hour, and overtime pay will be increased by fifty percent."
So, Klein only received fourteen stars as workers' compensation?
It's like being hurt by your boss's mistake at work, but only getting fourteen dollars in compensation.
The compensation was meager, but the insults were extremely strong.
"Alright, then please have Colonel Nordlin settle today's wages."
Klein reached out his hand. "Two hours, forty minutes, and twenty-eight seconds have passed. Rounding up, that's three hours, or ten thousand eight hundred seconds. Subtract the fourteen star coins I owe you, and you still need to pay me ten thousand seven hundred and eighty-six star coins."
"Cash or card payment?"
"..." Nordlin was completely taken aback, immediately flying into a rage and pointing at Klein, "When did it become that I owe you money?"
"If you refuse to pay my wages, I will file a complaint with the Interstellar Labor Affairs Inspectorate and the Interstellar Workers' and Peasants' Union Investigation Team. I will say that Colonel Nordlin is withholding workers' wages..."
Nordlin was deflated upon hearing this.
It's completely withered.
He asked tremblingly, "Brother, who exactly are you? Why have I never heard of you before?"
Damn it, this guy who set me up is obviously doing it on purpose.
Hasn't he given those merchants enough money on a regular basis?
They actually resorted to such despicable business tactics to disgust him!
Despicable, vile, shameless, utterly shameless!!
In just a few seconds, Nordlin had hurled every vile word he could think of at him.
He extended warm greetings to himself, as well as to his son, grandson, great-grandson, great-great-grandson, and great-great-great-grandson...
Why not greet your daughter, granddaughter, and great-granddaughter?
Nonsense, what if his descendants marry his daughter or granddaughter?
Tsk, that's how vicious and ruthless he is!
That's too ruthless!
After praising himself lavishly and belittling his opponent, Nordlin pulled out his personal terminal and asked ostentatiously, "How many star coins was it again?"
“Ten thousand nine hundred and eighty-six,” Klein said without batting an eye.
"Um, what's your ID?"
"120********"
“Hmm,” Nordlin typed in the ID number, “Eleven digits, quite rare. Are you a bug from the last era? I didn’t realize.”
The shorter the Zerg brain ID, the earlier they were registered.
For insects as large as those from Nordlin and Andorra, the ID number is at least eighteen digits long, and for convenience, the numbers after eleven digits are arranged using ancient letters.
After entering the last digit, an account appeared on the computer.
After seeing the account name clearly, Nordlin was so shocked that his eyes almost popped out of his head.
"You, you, you are actually Klein?!"
