Chapter 53: Half a year, I want to be a general
In this era when human life can be sold by the pound, there is nothing that cannot be consumed for money.
Not to mention that Xiaoyao City is just a place outside the law, even the regional presidents of the 7 major groups are clearly marked, as long as you can afford the tax, you are the king of any place.
While scolding the dog officials for being unkind, the poor people borrowed money from all over the place, just to get a piece of the pie, which is ridiculous, but helpless.
Hong Bo can understand the reason why Zhang Lan wants to mix up errands at any cost, after all, as a fugitive wanted by the Overlord Group, if he doesn't blend into the system, he may be betrayed by the forces at any time, and if he is not careful, he will recruit people to plot and exchange it for money.
500,000 can ensure his happiness for a while, but an official position can protect him for a lifetime.
"You want to be an official? Do you know that the officials in Xiaoyao City are not as good as the management in the group, and the officials in Xiaoyao City have no contract system, no holidays, and in the final analysis, they are just the domestic slaves of the King of Xiaoyao. For the life of the Xiaoyao family, for the death of the Xiaoyao family, the civil officials are all descendants of the elders who followed the Xiaoyao King when he built the city, and they are powerful and unshakable. The only one who accepts the intervention of ordinary people is the general, and it is an errand to go to the battlefield to fight for his life. Hung Bo was advised.
"I was born without knowing who my parents were, and I have lived to this day, 3 points of luck, 7 points of life, and I am used to it." Zhang Lan said calmly.
"Okay, I'll give you this opportunity, I'll take the card, and the first-level military attache will do it, and the monthly salary will not be more than 10,000. If you're expecting preferential treatment for saving Miss Elion, you're really thinking too much. Hong Bo took the crystal card in Zhang Lan's hand and withdrew it under his robe.
"Wait." Zhang Lan said suddenly.
"Boy, do you regret it?" Humber smiled knowingly.
"No, I'm just curious to ask, in Xiaoyao City, how many years does it usually take to go from a first-class military attache to a general?"
Zhang Lan was taken aback by what Hong Bo said, and said that a soldier who didn't want to be a general was not a good soldier, but as soon as he came in, he wanted to be a general's soldier, either he was crazy or he took the wrong medicine.
"There are ten ranks of military attachés in Xiaoyao City, and the first-level military attaché is only the most junior ten-level commander, managing a squad of horse pawns. If you want to be the general of Easy City, that is, the highest level of ten. You can take the promotion exam every 3 years, which means that even if you have a good life, you need to work for at least 30 years. ”
Hong Bo has never seen a first-class military attache who can really reach the position of a general-100,000 commander in only 30 years.
"Really? How long has it been? Zhang Lan put the water cup on the windowsill and sighed lightly, in Hong Bo's opinion, smart people will choose to take back the 500,000 reward money and leave, but Zhang Lan smiled, "It's okay, I'll try to climb hard, because I'm really in a hurry, I can only waste half a year to get this position, and after half a year, I will become the king of 100,000 soldiers and horses." ”
"From a first-class military attache to a general of 100,000 commanders in half a year?" Hong Bo's eyes widened, looking up and down at the young man in front of him, he was no different from the stupid scholar next door, if it weren't for a completely untemperamental ripper mechanical prosthesis, he would really be an idiot whose head was caught by the door, "Are you sure you don't need a doctor to help you check your brain?" ”
"People live for a lifetime, just a few decades, and they always have to have some dreams, right? What if it happens? Zhang Lan disagreed.
"In that case, I'll wait and see, how you can go from a first-class military attache to a general under one person and above 100,000 people in half a year." After Hong Bo finished speaking, he turned around and left, he knew that Zhang Lan was not simple, but being a military attache in Xiaoyao City was also not simple.
Hong Bo took the crystal card back to the Xiaoyao Mansion to report to the sky, the ancient palace-like building complex has nine curves and eighteen bends, showing the pride of the Xiaoyao Wang's rich and rival country, and also hiding the murderous opportunities of multiple forces to play with power.
Counting from the time, it is night at this moment, but the sky in a dragon robe can't sleep, he is reading at night with a transparent computer screen in his hand, looking at the picture on the screen, it shows the side face of Elion who is sleeping, and the circular hidden camera that can switch to a 360-degree angle can peek into every direction of Elion, which shows that he is a ...... Perverted.
"Lord Cangtian, the old slave is back." Humbor clasped his hands into fists and knelt down to worship.
"Well, he's awake, right? That kid took the money, can you be grateful to Dade? "The sky is full of thought.
"Actually...... "Humber put the black crystal card on the desk in front of the sky.
"How?" The sky is puzzled.
"He wants to be an official in my free city." Humber reported.
"You promised?" Cang Tian's face was cold, and the aura of murder floated on his brows.
"Yes, the old slave allowed him to start as a first-class military attaché and become a ten-captain first." Humb admitted.
"Hahaha!! Well done! Well done! Lao Hongtou, you are really a roundworm in my stomach, I know what I want, he wants to be my dog, I am naturally happy, give him the most interesting life, let him not survive, and then die when he can't die! ”
"This boy who doesn't know the height of the sky dares to save my woman? Only I can be Elion's hero, no one else, whether he is the vast countryside or the overlord Gu Xuan! No one can touch my Elian's idea! The sky roared.
The voice seemed to reach the ears of Ilian on the phoenix bed in the next bedroom, making the woman who pretended to be asleep pray in her heart, "I can only help you get here, and whether you live or die next depends on your personal ability." ”
As soon as dawn came, the sun rose from the black clouds, and there was no trace of morning sun on the ground, so the soldiers sent by Hong Bo took Zhang Lan to the carriage to the military military academy.
Speaking of which, although it is now the era of science fiction, the city of Escape maintains an awkward simplicity in it, which is probably related to the personal preferences of the original King of Escape. The architectural style that led to all the buildings in Xiaoyao City was the style of the ancient Celestial Empire, not to mention, the people's dress was also top, bottom, crown, and boots, which were incompatible with the world that Zhang Lan had seen in the past.
It is also a land where there are many uses for livestock, such as intra-city vehicles, although there are modern shuttles, hovercars, but more popular are box cars driven by unicorns.
This unicorn is not a unicorn in a fairy tale, but because of the mutation caused by pollution and radiation, the size of the horse is as big as Lu Bu's red rabbit, and the top of the head has horns up to half a meter, which can easily stab a mountain wolf to death with one blow, which is quite fierce.
Moreover, this wild animal still eats meat and drinks blood, and does not eat any forage at all. It is a little more difficult to tame this wild animal than it is to control a tank.
Zhang Lan, who was sitting in the carriage, lingered on the scenery and people on the streets of Xiaoyao City, and the first conclusion in his mind was...... The city is no longer free.
Because the people did not seem to have much money, there were beggars in tattered clothes everywhere, and the restaurants were bustling with thugs of the powerful or ruffians who had taken off their armor, and there were no civilians to consume, and there were few poor street vendors who could sell so few melons and fruits that they could count on their fingers, but the prices were ridiculously high.
"It seems that the rumors from the outside world are true, the golden ...... of Easy City It's already been dug up. Zhang Lan sighed lightly.
