After receiving the reward, Ning Buwen and Xiaoxin appeared in the hall again.
Well, it's still office hours.
"You, you are the handsome guy who came in a week ago." The lady at the counter was quite surprised when she saw Ning Buwen, "Do you need treatment? We can give a 50% discount on the treatment fee for newcomers, and you can also pay in installments."
The base of the No. 1 Legion was roughly equivalent to the Second Ring Road of Beijing before the end of the world. Whether it was food, clothing, housing, transportation, or the welfare of Pandora's newcomers, it was the highest among the forty-nine legions.
If Ning Buwen had been pulled into the game later, he could have picked out some useful props from the shopping mall in this place and put them into the game to increase his chances of survival.
After the end of the world, people have used their ingenuity to develop the use of Pandora to the extreme.
Buildings, food, air, water, and artificial sunlight almost all come from various prop cards.
For example, the machine in this hall that tested Shin-chan's level was the power of an A-level item card.
"I'm not injured." Ning Buwen smiled and shook his head. "By the way, can I ask, how much commission do you take for selling prop cards here?"
"Sir, have you got the item card?" The lady at the counter's eyes lit up. "It's rare for a pure newcomer to get an item card. Sir, we have a legion background here, so if you join the top ten legions, we will only charge 1% for the agency fee, and the rest of the legions will charge 3%. If you are a reserve, it will be 5%, and if you are not a reserve, it will be 8%."
I'd rather not ask than think about it.
"I have known a little about the reserve army before, but I'm not very clear. Could you please tell me about it in detail?" Ning Buwen had never thought about being alone.
After all, he was just a newcomer, and his understanding of Pandora was far less than that of the legions who had been working in Pandora's world for three years.
Furthermore, if you happen to find yourself in a game copy in the future, having some reliable companions is much safer than being alone.
Now the country's system has collapsed, and maintaining social order, punishing crimes, and the most important "Redemption of the Earth" plan are almost all done by the Legion.
It's like this all over the world.
When Pandora's Box first appeared, it drew nearly one-fifth of the world's population into the game. A large number of officials and politicians died, but the survival rate of those specially trained soldiers was quite high.
Their country had always been people-oriented. After the remaining officials discovered that they had to rely on the power of the legion to maintain social order, they took the initiative to do logistics and pushed the legion to the forefront, thus determining the current special social form.
The best gamers will be gathered together to conquer the most difficult and most rewarding game dungeons, and the rewards they earn will sustain the development of the entire society. Legions 1 to 49 are where these players are selected and trained to become top players.
All resources are used for two purposes only.
One is to survive, and the other is to end the apocalypse and redeem the earth.
Fortunately, since they were in a socialist form before the end of the world, they immediately used the last of their national power to promote the Pangu Legion. This name was chosen by the people of the whole country, and it means "creating the world and reshaping the earth." As a result, the Pangu Legion has firmly occupied the world's number one position to this day. On the contrary, countries in a capitalist form, due to the large number of factions, only built the other two legions after a period of chaos after imitating the Pangu Legion.
There are forty-nine bases under the forty-nine legions of the Pangu Legion. Each legion is responsible for the life safety and financial security of all the people in this base, and provides assistance to newcomers in order to conquer the Pandora game as quickly as possible.
Some inside information is almost always covered up, and only those who join the legion will know it.
In this situation, it is best not to create panic among the people.
"As long as the newcomers clear three copies, they will be qualified to become reserve soldiers, and they can only be converted to regular soldiers when their personal physique is unlocked. If you have obtained a rating of B or above and unlocked your special physique, then you have the conditions to apply to join the forty-nine legions. However, when applying, you need to write down your own clearance report and the nature of your own abilities. We can ensure that your personal privacy will never be leaked. If the legion approves your application, you can become a member of the legion." The lady at the counter replied with a smile.
"Can all the forty-nine legions apply?" Ning Buwen was more concerned about the treatment. "What are the treatments for different legions?"
"The basic salary of each legion is the same, 50,000 per month. But the bonuses and performance of different legions are very different. Generally speaking, the smaller the legion, the richer the variety of prop card transactions inside. Many precious prop cards are only circulated within the legion." The lady at the counter explained one by one, "And there are special benefits after joining the legion. If there is a separation card on the market, the family members of the soldiers can buy it first. If some soldiers lose the ability to continue to pass the level, they can also buy a separation card at the lowest price and in the form of installments."
"The separation card is even more in short supply than what I want." Ning Buwen touched his chin, thinking that the price of these two cards might be even higher.
"Of course." The counter lady's tone contained envy. "Everyone who opens Pandora's Box must participate in the game once, and must participate again about once a month afterwards. Some people are born to be suitable for the game, while others are not. If you have a withdrawal card, you can officially leave the Pandora game. Therefore, many people join the legion just to have the right to purchase a withdrawal card."
Pandora games can actually only be considered semi-mandatory.
If you want to escape, all you need is money, or you can get an escape card by clearing a few more levels.
But the reality is that even if they have an exit card, there are still many people who are willing to continue playing the game.
Once you use the Escape Card, all your special abilities will disappear, and you will become an ordinary person in the apocalypse. You may have to work hard in the first half of your life to buy an Escape Card, and in the second half of your life to work hard to buy Escape Cards for your children.
Only by constantly breaking through the game levels can you gain more wealth, save more people, and even save the world.
I heard that as long as you clear the top seven copies of the Pandora game, you can redeem the earth's atmosphere, sunlight, soil, etc., and restore the entire world to its pre-apocalyptic state.
Therefore, everyone is working hard for the future of mankind.
"How long does it take for the Legion to approve it?"
"If it's fast, it'll be three days. If there's no news for more than a week, it's basically hopeless."
“Oh, then give me a form…”
"Is anyone here?" Just as the lady at the counter and Ning Buwen were explaining, a young man with golden hair swaggered into the hall. "It seems that another legion has invited me to join. Let me see which one it is?"
As soon as the young man walked in, a dozen beautiful girls appeared and came up to serve him.
Ning Buwen looked at the girl in front of his counter, then looked at the dozen girls opposite him, and the word "lost" immediately appeared in his mind.
"That's the latest supernova, Mo Xiaoyou." The lady at the counter whispered, "He's a gaming genius. He achieved C+ achievement the first time he entered the game. If it weren't for his companions, he would have been able to unlock his personal physique the first time. The novice gift pack also directly opened a B-level item, which killed the boss in the novice dungeon in seconds. When he cleared the dungeon, the newcomers he saved boasted about him everywhere. After he cleared the dungeon for the second time, his personal special physique was unlocked. Basically, he would receive an invitation to join a legion every few days."
"Are you still inviting me to join the group?" Ning Buwen asked back, "Didn't you just say that I had to fill out a form?"
"This is a normal procedure." The lady at the counter was a little embarrassed, "But the army is competing hard for people right now, so if there is a particularly good newcomer like this, they will send out an invitation to join the group and make a reservation in advance."
I was planning to fill out a form, but it turns out there is a shortcut.
"Mr. Mo, the one that recently invited you to join is the Fourteenth Legion."
"Yes, Mr. Mo, this is already a superior legion."
"Including this one, six legions have already sent you invitations to join. That's amazing."
…
Almost everyone is following Mo Xiaoyou, but this is normal.
Generally speaking, the better the player, the more item cards they have to sell, and the higher the bonuses these girls get. And if you make friends with a powerful player from a higher-ranking army, you will at least have someone to look after you if you enter the Pandora game in the future or if your friends or relatives enter the game, right
Mo Xiaoyou looks no more than fifteen or sixteen years old, and looks very much like the Shamatte youth from before the apocalypse.
"Why didn't any of the legions below ten send me an invitation?" Mo Xiaoyou bit his finger. "No, I still need to complete a few more games and sell a few more item cards."
After saying that, Mo Xiaoyou took out seven or eight prop cards from his bag, "Where is the prop card identification instrument? Let me identify it quickly. After the identification, I will have money to buy more suitable prop cards to complete the game. Legions that are not within the top ten are not qualified for the Pangu Legion selection. I would rather wait a little longer!"
When Mo Xiaoyou said this, all the game players in the hall looked at him with envy and jealousy.
While they were working so hard and waiting for approval, this guy received invitations from six legions and still complained that they were not good enough. He is really in a dilemma.
…
"Three C-level defense item cards, four D-level attack item cards, and one B-level spell item card."
The identification machine made a judgment very quickly. This identification is necessary to prevent someone from using counterfeit prop cards to deceive buyers.
"How much is it approximately?" Mo Xiaoyou leaned forward involuntarily.
"Estimated value: nine million."
"Nine million is only enough to buy a B+ item card. Something that can upgrade one's physique costs at least ten million." Mo Xiaoyou was a little depressed, "Why am I so poor?"
"Two B-level escape cards and one B-level physical card."
"Estimated value: thirty-five million."
Although the prompt sound of the identification instrument was not loud, these two sentences attracted the attention of almost all men and women in the hall.
Mo Xiaoyou was also stunned for a moment, and turned to see which high-level player was selling item cards. He sold two escape cards at once, which was amazing.
"Sell it directly and transfer the money to this account." Ning Bu Wen reported a string of numbers.
"Okay, okay." The lady at the counter stammered, "Then, do you need any more forms?"
"No need." Ning Buwen said in a logical manner, "I also think it would be better to wait and see which legion would invite me. This is my first time to complete the game, and I don't know enough about the legion yet."
First time playing through a level
There are only three B-level cards? !
This will definitely allow you to receive invitations from legions within the 10th.
Winner.
Ning Bu Wen compared the situation in his mind and felt that he had finally regained his position.
He soon figured out why Mo Xiaoyou was so high-profile, because in this doomsday, everyone can enter the Pandora game. If you want to join a better legion and get more resources, you will inevitably attract a lot of attention.
It’s not impossible to learn from it.
After all, he is poor.
It is no longer popular to pretend to be a pig and eat the tiger.
Some high-profile and powerful players have their own fan clubs. When they want to buy or sell any prop cards, the prices they charge are higher than those of less famous players.
Ning Buwen finished pretending to be cool, touched Xiaoxin's head, and walked out of the hall as if nothing had happened.
"Wait." Mo Xiaoyou shouted from behind and caught up directly.
"Is there something wrong?" Ning Bu Wen stopped and looked at the young man in front of him with a smile.
"You unlocked your special physique the first time you cleared a level?" Mo Xiaoyou seemed a little unconvinced. "Do you have any relatives in the army? Have you received relevant training since childhood?"
"No, I'm alone." Ning Buwen shrugged. "If that's all you're asking, please make way."
"You! The best newcomer must be me." Mo Xiaoyou immediately pretended to be arrogant, "Just wait and see."
"Oh." Ning Buwen responded calmly, "Come on."
Mo Xiaoyou really couldn't continue chatting with him, so he left angrily.
He must check this guy's background!
Soon, Ning Buwen received a message on his mobile phone.
The repayment has been received, and the interest for this year is still 60 million.
"This vampire!" Ning Buwen's calm demeanor was instantly broken, "I really shouldn't have gambled with him in the first place."
"Woof."
"Don't bark. I'll go back and buy you some dog food later. I still have hundreds of thousands of dollars on me, which is enough to support you." Ning Buwen couldn't help but sigh, "When will this debt repayment period end?"
“Woof woof.”
After today, the name of supernova Mo Xiaoyou will be replaced by another name.
Let’s not talk about how much of a stir this caused.
Corps Intelligence Department.
"Why don't you ask? Strange, there doesn't seem to be much news about him."
"He was indeed a newcomer entering the game for the first time. He was pulled in as soon as the novice gift package was released, and he didn't even have time to register."
“It’s rare to find newcomers of this quality.”
"It seems like he pissed Mo Xiaoyou off, hahaha."
"Mo Xiaoyou is actually quite good, but he's not calm enough. We still need to see more of him."
“… Boss, I found out.”
"Um?"
"I'd rather not ask. He... He seems to be the youngest champion in the gambling competition held in Las Vegas before the end of the world."
"What?"
…
Ning Buwen took Xiaoxin back to his apartment.
This is just a one-bedroom apartment, but fortunately it is in a good location and the decoration is acceptable, so it looks quite warm.
Life for one person and one dog is quite interesting.
The divination dice was also quite powerful. One could make a fortune by simply going into a lottery hall and buying a few double-color balls. Although the amounts were not large, they were enough to make Ning Buwen and Xiaoxin gain several pounds in just a few days.
Just pick the good ones to eat.
"Pandora, how scary." Ning Buwen went home and lay on the bed, playing with the special multi-sided dice, "If I had this dice before, would I still lose?"
"Woof."
"Xiao Xin, I seem to have forgotten something." Ning Buwen scratched his head and asked curiously, "What do you think I forgot?"
"Woof."
"It seems... Oops! Oh, I forgot to water that guy's flowers." Ning Buwen suddenly jumped up from the bed, "I forgot to water his flowers, where did I throw the photo frame?"
"Woof." Xiaoxin ran to his doghouse and took out the photo frame.
Ning Buwen didn't want to remember his pitiful and tragic first love at all, so he threw the photo frame into the doghouse as soon as he came back.
"I have to go check it out right away, Xiao Xin, you stay and look after the house."
"Woof." Xiaoxin wagged his tail and happily saw his master out.
Ning Buwen ran all the way to the street.
When people nearby saw him, almost everyone looked at him.
As the most famous supernova recently, his personal information has been circulated on the Internet and his popularity has skyrocketed.
"Go to this address." Ning Buwen immediately hailed a car and showed the address on the back of the photo frame to the driver, "Hurry up."
The driver was a little stunned, "This... this place..."
"What's wrong?"
"It's a bit far..." The driver had a complicated expression.
"Don't worry, I'm not short of money." Ning Buwen waved his hand and said, "Hurry up, I'm anxious."
"Okay." When the driver saw Ning Buwen's upright and sunny face, a hint of regret flashed in his eyes.
These days are not easy for anyone.
Ning fell asleep in the car without asking.
It's really far.
The driver actually drove for four hours.
Four hours should be enough to run to the base of the neighboring legion. If I had known earlier, I would have checked the location on my mobile phone.
"arrive."
"Hmm? We're here now." Ning Bu Wen rubbed his sleepy eyes, got out of the car yawning, stretched and saw the sign in front of him. He almost thought he had seen it wrong.
"Um... driver..."
"Guest, what's the matter?"
"I'm going to a residential area, someone's home." Ning Buwen felt that he might have been tricked. "What do you mean by bringing me here?"
"There has never been any residential area here." The driver was even more puzzled than Ning Buwen. "It has been like this since before the end of the world. Look, sir, isn't it written here? No. 111 Changjiang Road, this is it, there is no mistake."
Ning Buwen looked at the building in front of him and almost knelt down.
No. 111 Changjiang Road, the home mentioned by School Doctor Cheng, is actually a hospital
There is a huge stone at the entrance of the hospital. The name of the hospital is written in red fonts on the stone. You can tell at a glance that it is worth a lot of money.
It would be better if the name of this hospital was not the one we see now.
The First Mental Hospital in City X.
