Chapter 518: A New World (19)
Steel World, one of the ninety-nine secondary platforms, is located in the southwest of the Dream Land Capital City, where many people come and go on flying mounts or elevators, going in and out.
The Dream Platform is built in a huge building with a height of 300 meters, which occupies the highest two and a half floors, and below it is the most prosperous trading center and auction center in Kyoto, the dream village.
The term "platform" has a special meaning in the steel world, specifically to refer to the steel world's largest public network interaction center. Here, you can use the platform to perform a variety of operations through the personal butler, including querying newly released tasks at the upper level, personnel recruitment information at all levels, and so on.
Of course, this requires permissions!
Authority is a good thing, with authority, even outside the system, you can be respected, and you can even join the system at any time and become a full member of the Steel City. Without authority, even if it is within the system, you can only slowly improve your qualifications, and you don't know when you will be promoted.
For example, many of the strangers who joined the Steel City were official members of the Steel City, but if they did not contribute and did not have high authority, they may not be as good as an ordinary person in the Steel World.
In short, everything must be about permissions, there are permissions, and multi-level platforms are allowed to pass.
Without permission, you can only go to the fifth, sixth, and even seventh and eighth levels of platforms to seek information interaction, which is extremely restrictive.
And that's just one aspect.
Vande is a citizen of the Land of Dreams, and a local, and is born with a certain amount of authority, which is the preferential treatment of the City of Steel to the natives of the subordinate main world.
His father is a guard in Kyoto, the land of dreams, and he can barely be regarded as a member of the Iron City system, a supernumerary, and his personal authority is enough for him to use the local second-level platform for a fee, or the fourth-level and below the platform in the field. Relative to his social status, this authority is not too low.
Vander's father had made meritorious contributions to the country, and it was said that he had been praised by an official member of the Iron City, so that he was given a little more authority, which was comparable to that of a lower-ranking official in the kingdom.
Although the steel world is the core of the steel city, and the steel city also takes special care of it, this does not mean that all intelligent life in the steel world is a member of the steel city.
In fact, they are completely free to choose, to join or not to join.
And, like many worlds, most of the intelligent beings in the steel world are mortals, and ordinary mortals are not qualified to officially join the steel city at all!
Even if it was Vander's father, it was only because of the affiliation between the country and the Iron City that he was counted as a supernumerary member as a city guard.
Fan De originally thought that he would join the city guard army under his father's recommendation in the future, become a glorious city guard, and wait for death.
It wasn't until he was twelve years old, when he heard that his father was about to be promoted and was likely to become the captain of the guard, that he had greater ambitions, and felt that he might not need to start from the lowest level of the guard in the future, and he even boasted to his friends at that time.
However, within a few months, the bad news came!
His father is missing!
Missing, no one alive, no corpse dead!
This kind of thing is not common in the steel world, but it happens occasionally, after all, people have two legs, and it is their freedom to run wherever they want, and accidents will always happen occasionally, but this should not fall on his father, who is a city guard.
A good home, a beautiful dream, it's so shattered!
Vander has no mother, and his father is his only relative.
According to this relative, his mother died in childbirth when he was a child, and some people said that he ran away with someone.
But Vander didn't care about these things, because he had a good father, he cared for him enough, he had a good social status, and he was very respected by his neighbors.
Sadly, these are quickly becoming a thing of the past.
Having lost his father's protection, Vander had to save money and survived the most difficult teenage years.
It is difficult for a teenager to be recognized by the public, and it is impossible for him to eat well in society.
The need to hire a child labourer is much lower than that of an adult, not only because of the poor labour of the child, but also because they are powerless to fight against injustice. It is an indisputable fact that minors have no social status. Because it is weak, it needs to be protected, but this protection is definitely not synonymous with status. There should be no confusion between being protected by the sympathy of others and being compelled to defend oneself.
Fande's youth was difficult, if Vande's father mixed well in the city guards, and still had some connections, I am afraid that his little family business would be embezzled by outsiders, sleeping on the streets, where could he still support him until he became an adult!
After reaching adulthood at the age of sixteen, Vander did not hesitate too much, directly sold the family property, and with the help of an old friend of his father, joined a peripheral organization of the Steel City, and became a glorious "explorer", or - "scavenger"!
Of course, Vander would have preferred to become a regular city guard, but it was obvious that he was not qualified, and the personal connections he left behind after his father's departure, and the wealth he had obtained from selling his property, were not enough to offset this qualification.
Vander embarked on a path he never thought he had, let alone that he could go so long and so far on this path.
Now, thirty years have passed since he set foot on this road!
Thirty years! The former down-and-out teenager has also become sloppy and middle-aged. This sloppy middle-aged, the wealth and fame he possesses are unimaginable to Vander when he was a teenager!
In his forties, some mortals in the world are even approaching twilight, and they may be precarious at any time.
Thirty is too young, fifty is too young, and forty is just right.
Vander drove the flying eagle and landed on the roof of the "secondary platform".
The platform originally had the meaning of a rooftop and was included in it, but it certainly does not refer to this here.
Hearing the news that he was coming, there were already a few people waiting at the edge of the rooftop, and at this time, they immediately trotted over to greet this worldly sword master!
The Sword Saint is the name that Vander broke out in the small circle within the Iron City, and he is also the number one person.
Thirty years is enough time for some supernumerary members of the Steel City to be promoted to full members, and as long as there is a will, there is always a way to achieve it. But normally, it is definitely not enough for such a person to be able to make a name for himself and establish a reputation in a new circle.
Of course, anyone who can become famous in the inner city of steel, even in a small area at the bottom, who doesn't have a little adventure?
So such a vande is just a miracle that is not big or small.
Led by several people, Vander came to the location of the eighth layer, which is an area that only high-level people can enter.
The so-called high permission, that is, it is not only the qualification permission that can only be entered by the special care of locals, but the real permission to enter the secondary platform wherever you go.
This is actually nothing, if you have the level of earth immortal or above, as long as you join the steel city, getting the right to use the second-level platform is just the foundation, and most of them can directly get the right to use the first-level platform in one step.
Compared with the first-level public platform, what is really rare is the right to use the main platform and the secondary platform, as well as the right to establish a private exclusive platform!
Those, in fact, have nothing to do with most of the official members of the Steel City, and are exclusive to high-ranking members.
Not to mention non-staff personnel and peripheral personnel, many people may not have heard of it.
All the main platforms and secondary platforms are also built in very special places, such as Huandao, such as Sky City, such as Ocean Current Canyon.
That kind of place, ordinary people don't even want to go.
If you want to build a private exclusive platform, you must be the lowest and the lowest, and you must also be an earth immortal, which is a hard demand.
Vander is not an immortal yet, but he has killed more than one immortal!
Of course, he killed the lowest-level immortals, and he used a sword that was said to be very high-level, so he was a sword master!
"Fande, are you really sure that you want to transfer all the items and materials in your hands to the item database of the main platform through the local platform?
"Given your actions, if the information you provide can be verified, then you will receive a large contribution and your authority will be increased. ”
"However, according to the agreement, from now on, you can no longer disclose everything about that ruin to a third party, or even explore it privately without permission!"
"Fande, do you really want to do this? You regret it now, it's too late!"
"After all, this is your personal immortal fate!"
Contrary to the expectations of the "witness", the principal of the platform does not seem to be very eager for Fande to take the initiative to contribute to the "fairy fate".
This is very different from many organizations.
For the organization, this kind of personal opportunity, not to mention that it is willing to contribute, even if it is unwilling, it must be handed over!
The "Witness" was young, he had only recently assumed the position, and his reputation within the City of Steel was not as good as that of Vander, let alone the owner of the local platform. But what he represents at this time is an absolutely impartial "witness" position, which is naturally detached.
Vander was not surprised by the principal's words, and did not have any other thoughts because of them. He is very familiar with the set of the Steel City.
The City of Steel is indeed different from the kind of organization that covets the slightest opportunity for its members, not because all the top echelons of the organization are saints, but because they are too high-minded to look down on them.
The size of the Steel City is too large, and it is a giant that dominates the universe!
When the volume is large, the volume will naturally be large.
If the individual is too small for the organization. Personal chance, that's it, how can you covet it. And this kind of contribution is directly in place in one step, and there is no need for first-level personnel to carry it out, so there are fewer processes, and naturally there is less trouble, and there will be no situation where Hades is easy to mess with imps.
