Picking Up Supreme Treasures in the Dream Realm-Chapter 660 - 391, Sacred Artifact: Legion Spirit Crown

However, the compensation amount is not much, only a mere thirty thousand, so he accepted it.

Zhou Furu was about to put down the phone when a thought suddenly popped into his head: "Right, using 'WeChat's' 'People Nearby' feature, maybe I can add Zhu Shama as a friend!"

The so-called 'WeChat' is the Great Xia Kingdom's nationally popular instant messaging software.

Currently, the Shapudian People are fully embracing everything about Great Xia.

What the Great Xia People eat, they eat too; what shows the Great Xia People watch, they watch as well; what software the Great Xia People use, they imitate too.

The Shapudian People have abandoned all their old ways at an astonishing speed.

The enthusiasm they show toward Great Xia even surprised Zhou Furu, an outsider newly arrived.

This young man witnessed firsthand that some Shapudian People even greeted each other not in their own language but by saying "Good morning", "Morning", "Have you eaten?" in the Great Xia tongue.

So he was absolutely convinced that there was a 99% chance that Zhu Shama used WeChat.

He also heard from his parents that the Shapudian People employed by the mining company exhibited some very interesting tendencies.

The mining company's higher-ups only listed the Great Xia Language as the working language, requiring nothing else, and even asked the Great Xia employees to respect the Shapudian People's customs.

Who knew that the Shapudian People would pull off some actions that left the Great Xia people dumbfounded.

For example.

Whoever spoke the Great Xia Language better had a noticeably higher status.

If this Shapudian could chat and laugh with the Great Xia People, and even use some Great Xia idioms, they would gain more respect.

Also.

If someone did not learn Great Xia customs and insisted on sticking to past habits, they would often face rejection from the Shapudian People.

Honestly speaking, Zhou Furu found it hard to understand these strange behaviors.

At this moment.

The young man opened the WeChat app, quickly clicked on the people nearby list, and after a few swipes, he immediately broke into a big smile.

He actually found it!

One of the profile pictures was surprisingly that of Zhu Shama.

The photo used for the avatar was indeed her, seemingly enhanced with some beauty filter, looking a lot prettier than in real life.

If a full score is 10, the photo would be a 9, and she in person would be an 8.

Feeling a bit anxious, Zhou Furu clicked on the avatar and then clicked "Add Friend".

He pondered for a moment before typing a long message in the pop-up window.

"Hi! I just saw you on the rooftop. Can I add you as a friend? I've just come over from the Great Xia Kingdom and will be staying in Glory City for a long time. I don't have any friends here, so I'm hoping to meet some people to integrate into Glory City faster."

Zhou Furu checked it several times, then pressed send.

He initially thought it would take at least a few hours to receive a reply, maybe not until tomorrow.

However, the reality was surprising.

Just a second later.

The WeChat interface popped up with a system message: "You have successfully added 'Zhu Shama' as a friend. You can now chat."

Zhou Furu was initially a bit disbelieving as he widened his eyes, then punched the air in extreme excitement.

Because he vaguely sensed something – perhaps Zhu Shama was also using the nearby feature to find him.

Otherwise, how could it have been so fast?

"Buzz!"

His phone vibrated.

Zhu Shama proactively sent a message: "Hi, my name is Zhang Qianqian, very pleased to meet you!"

Zhang Qianqian was clearly her Great Xia name.

Zhou Furu was so excited he wanted to shout out loud.

Over the next while, the young boy and girl chatted very animatedly.

It was obvious that the Xia Language sent by Zhang Qianqian was a bit stiff, undoubtedly due to translation software.

Zhou Furu eagerly offered to help her learn the Great Xia Language and understand all aspects of Great Xia culture.

Zhang Qianqian sent several smiley faces in succession.

As the conversation dug deeper, Zhou Furu did not realize that his "background" was completely exposed by the other party.

For example, after his parents were transferred, they both got promotions. Currently, one is a manager, and the other is a supervisor, with salaries higher than back home.

For example, when he goes to college in the future, tuition and living expenses will be fully covered by the mining company.

Zhou Furu only had a vague feeling that Zhang Qianqian was becoming more enthusiastic.

But he just thought it was because they talked more and grew familiar.

He also did not know that the lifeblood of Shapudian's economy, including all aspects of clothing, food, housing, and transportation, had quietly come under complete control by various Great Xia Corporations.

These corporations generally had an unwritten rule regarding the position titles between Great Xia People and the Shapudian People, with a fixed formula.

For example, in a manager position, a Great Xia person is at least half a level higher than a Shapudian, sometimes even a whole level higher.

Roughly converting, a Great Xia manager is equivalent to a Shapudian deputy general manager.

So Zhou Furu just thought his parents were doing reasonably well.

But he did not know that in their social circle in Glory City, their family was undoubtedly of the higher echelon.

The young boy and girl chatted for a while again and inevitably discussed the group message suddenly sent by Eastern Telecom Company earlier.

The message from Zhang Qianqian conveyed genuine sincerity: "My parents say that your willingness to compensate the victims reflects that Great Xia is a highly responsible great nation."

Just now, Zhou Furu thought they were wrong to give money. Now, his stance changed instantly: "They are too pitiful. I think Great Xia gave too little money, compensating each victim's family with fifty thousand would be more reasonable."
