Chapter 3 The World

Just like that Sean explained, the world in which the Explorers Alliance is located is the junction of many worlds, and the continental plates have been broken due to unknown reasons, and the current continents are indeed just continents, just like the plates floating in the universe, which are the same worldview as those described in mythological stories.

The continent where the Explorer Alliance is located is called the Apocalyptic Realm by them, because most of the worlds that were originally connected here were apocalyptic worlds, although the situation has changed later, but the name has become accustomed to it.

The Explorer Alliance is just a relatively large organization in the realm of the end of the world, and the age is old enough to be considered a relatively old existence, similar to the Traveler Alliance, the Shuttle Alliance, the Salvation Army, and the World Destroying Squad, which are relatively close to each other in terms of name and style, and the organizations that were established later do not have such an obvious style, and are mostly named after the name or title of the founder.

There is no big threat to the life here now, unlike at the beginning, from time to time, some apocalyptic beings came to the continent through the gap in time and space to threaten ordinary people, and now almost all the gaps in time and space are circled by various large and small organizations as a source of recruits.

The reason why each organization attaches special importance to the newcomers who come out of the cracks in time and space is because most of the lives that can come out of there are some special talents, and the proportion of people born locally with special talents is not very high, although there are many because the base is large enough, but there are still various consumption in various exploration activities, and it is certainly better to be able to get additional supplements than none.

The money used here is the rune, the reason why each organization can be established is because some of them have mastered the ability to make or transform runes, and the coins issued by each organization are a special kind of runes, [money], there are various shapes and qualities, some are the same as the stone runes they used before, and some are in the shape of gold coins, or paper money, but the denomination is regulated, depending on the energy contained in the rune itself, this is very easy to detect, and there is no need to worry about ** or something, Because the existence of being able to create runes doesn't care about the amount of money at all, they themselves are official money printing machines, and there is no such concept as **.

There are two ways to obtain runes, as ordinary people work in exchange for money, or enter various "secret realms" to complete the tasks of a special being.

The work of ordinary people is easy to understand, from carrying things to managing an area is counted as the scope of ordinary people's work, as for entering the secret realm, it is a different kind of work.

Although the continent has regained its vitality, the fault line of civilization still has caused a lot of effects, the most basic manifestation of which is that electronic devices such as televisions and computers that have been popularized in the world of science and technology are luxury goods here, because no one can make them. It's not that the technology is not up to standard, and the technology in the secret world can be used by copying it casually, but because as an existence in the cracks of the world, the physical laws of continents such as the realm of the end of the world are also changing at all times, and of course there is no problem for ordinary people, because this change is also very slow, as the instinct of living beings, adapting to changes in the environment is also a kind of evolution. But it's not good for electronic instruments, there are some things that ordinary people can't perceive, only cultural people who focus on scientific research can re-deduce the basic theory, and then they can continue to develop science and technology, and the realm of the end of the world has been revitalized for only twenty years, the survivors of the first generation have not passed away, and those young people with scientific and technological talents have not really grown up, so every time they encounter the secret world that has developed more than modern science, it is also the time for organizations such as the Explorer Alliance to replenish resources.

For the secret world, the people in these places in the realm of the end of the world are all invaders, not to mention that there are many lives above that are not even "people", monsters invade or something, of course the locals have to resist collectively, so these jobs are actually very dangerous. In addition, there is an unknown existence that even the Explorer Alliance has not yet found will issue some tasks to the life that enters the secret realm, and those who do not complete the task will be punished, and it will be even more dangerous to enter the secret realm, so a considerable part of the life born in the realm of the end of the world will not take the initiative to ask to enter the secret realm, and only those newcomers who have passed through the gap in time and space will be required to participate in at least a certain number of secret realm tasks because they want to join various organizations.

Asking to enter the secret realm does not cost anything, but will be recorded as a contribution, and according to some people, each time you open the secret realm, these other worlds will be connected to the gathering place, and then the world level of the post-apocalyptic realm will be raised.

Different worlds also have their own levels, people in the middle world may be the same existence as the Demon King in the lower world, and in the higher world, maybe a single-celled creature can easily kill the life of this medium world. Of course, the real situation may not be so exaggerated, but raising the world level is also a contribution to the world, and the world will also provide you with rewards, such as sudden good luck, and your organization will also share this good luck, and then get greater development, in Wang Yi's view, it is the so-called luck.

And entering the secret realm can also obtain a variety of magical and powerful powers, staying in the realm of the end of the world can only exist as an ordinary person, those who exist as a "traverser" through the gap in time The vast majority of newcomers will choose to become an "explorer", of course, you don't go, but when others gain power, you are still an ordinary person, and you are too useless in comparison, even if others don't say that you will force yourself to find a way to gain power.

It's not impossible to use [money] to buy runes, but the real good things must be left by others themselves, and I'm afraid it will be unpleasant to use the things eliminated by others forever, not to mention that if you're lucky, it's not necessary to die to enter the secret realm, so there are still many people who choose to enter the secret realm, and having companions together increases people's courage, causing more people to choose to enter, and this is how various organizations have developed.

"In three months, the Explorers Alliance will organize a group expedition for newcomers, and then we may become companions, hoping to form an alliance, at least not to tear each other down, how about it?"

"The Terminator" finally said a little dry stuff.

"We don't have to be together?"

"Of course, it is said that newcomers have three months of welfare time, but three months is just a fictitious finger, every once in a while some newcomers join, all newcomers must participate in this expedition, the specific time of the next time is the seventeenth two months later, here each month is fixed thirty days, but there are twenty months in a year, we are now in the seventh month, today the twenty-fifth. Interestingly, the average lifespan of ordinary humans here is still 60 to 80 years old, and the real lifespan is nearly half that of the world I used to live in. ”

"Oh, I'll agree if we have a chance to enter the same secret realm together, is there anything else you can tell me?" Wang Yi plans to inquire about something more.

"That's all for now," Terminator spread his hands, "I'm Transhuman S-X856, and of course I prefer you to call me the name my last master gave me, William." ”

"I'm ......," Wang Yi paused, "It's okay for you to call me Panda." ”

"Okay, Panda, goodbye then."

"Goodbye, looking forward to working with you."
