Chapter 15 Chang'an
"I don't know why you suddenly agree so much without weapons, but uh...... Yes, I am indeed a messenger. Xuanzang pushed the windproof glasses on his head and said.
The young woman said, "Who else but the messenger can walk alone in the desert without a weapon and find shelter?" ”
"Boss, wouldn't that be a bit hasty in your judgment?"
"yes, at least let him show some proof."
"The messenger itself is proof, when have you ever heard of such a thing as a messenger? Come on, it's not as verbose as our shelter. The woman took the initiative to stretch out her hand to Xuanzang and introduced herself, "My name is Xia An, the sheriff here." ”
She is tall, wearing a dark combat uniform, her hair is tied into a ponytail at the back of her head, she is crisp and neat, and her appearance is full of heroism.
At first glance, it is a person born in the shelter, and compared with the wasteland nomads who sleep in the open air, they are much healthier and neater, and their eyes are also very clean, revealing a bit of fortitude.
"Xuanzang." He shook his hand lightly and gave his name briefly.
"So, are you here to deliver something, or are you here to find someone?"
"Neither. In fact, I wanted to rest in this shelter for a while, and I wondered if I could. Xuanzang said the reason that had been made up a long time ago, "I met a monster on the road nearby and escaped by luck, but the equipment on my body is gone." Thankfully, the delivery has just been completed, and there is no dishonesty. ”
Cheyenne raised her eyebrows and said, "We occasionally have outsiders here, but the messenger hasn't seen him for a long time, I'm afraid you won't be able to rest for a few days." There are a lot of immigrants in Chang'an, and they can afford the postage, so you are busy. ”
"Well, I'd like to spend a few more days recovering. Can you not talk about it? Xuanzang pretended to be embarrassed.
"If you join as an official resident of the Vault, no one will bother you. Don't worry, I won't let you stay here forever, I just have to send you a job to do, Chang'an doesn't raise people who eat white food. ”
Later, Cheyenne said to the other two, "You look at the gate first, and I'll take him to measure his ability." ”
"Boss, according to the regulations, newcomers should report to the supervisor first."
"He's been so busy lately, don't bother him. According to the regulations, the sheriff also has the right to dispose of it. After speaking, Xia An motioned for Xuanzang to go with her.
"These guys are still very old-fashioned, don't you mind." She said.
"I've been to a few other shelters, and they're all pretty much the same, and you're unexpectedly hospitable."
"After all, Chang'an is a refuge that was opened 400 years ago, and it is also a refuge that is still inhabited by tens of thousands of people after 400 years of opening. Of course, closed-minded people exist at all times. ”
Cheyenne suddenly remembered, and added: "Oh yes, I saw you have a car on the surveillance just now, and I have already asked someone to tow it back from the entrance of the vehicle." ”
"I thought I was hiding it well." Xuanzang said embarrassedly.
The two chatted all the way, and soon made their way through the passage to a small room. There are several monitor screens by the window, and you can see the exit of the vault.
In one corner of the room was a barrel-shaped device, and Cheyenne had him stand in it, attaching electrodes to his arms, chest, and neck, and putting an iron hat full of wires.
"S.P.E.C.I.A.L aptitude test, if you're doing it for the first time, don't worry. Although it may seem scary, it will not cause you any harm except for a small amount of radiation, and the effects of that radiation will disappear in about a week. Cheyenne explained, "Maybe the results are not very comprehensive, but for the sake of management, the shelters all use this method to measure a person's ability and arrange suitable positions." ”
Xuanzang replied: "I have done it before. ”
In fact, the theoretical foundation of this thing was laid by him.
Originally intended as a recreational purpose, it became widely used, and admittedly, it fits in with the situation faced by the Vault.
S.P.E.C.I.A.L, is an abbreviation of seven attributes: Strength, Perception, Constitution, Charisma, Intelligence, Coordination, and Luck. In the early stage of the construction of the shelter, these seven attributes were used as the standard to measure a person, and the admission personnel were selected and the position was arranged.
The values for the seven attributes range from 1 to 10. Although the average value is 5, in fact, many ordinary people have various values between 3 and 4, especially strength and coordination, and nearly one-third of them will be 2.
The actual performance of an ability value of 5 has slightly exceeded the average of ordinary people in the old world. Because 5 is the ideal value that scientists have calculated to be able to survive safely after a disaster. Very few people who first enter the shelter meet this standard.
"Let's get started. It's the first time I've done a test with a messenger, and I'm a little excited. Cheyenne smiled mischievously, pulled down the switch, and locked Xuanzang in the big cylinder.
He was swept through the three colors of light, and experienced the tingling sensation caused by the slight electric shock, only to see the various indicators stop flashing and the door of the test chamber open.
On the screen of the console, the results of the measurement are displayed in green font:
Strength: 3
Perception: 5
Endurance: 9
Charisma: 4
Intelligence: 5
Agility: 4
Luck:1
"The value of the constitution is so high!" Cheyenne looked at him in disbelief, then tilted her head and asked, "It looks ordinary, and it's a little weak." Have you done any body modifications? ”
Xuanzang looked at the results on the screen thoughtfully. Strength, perception, charisma, and coordination are still normal, and constitution is the biggest advantage of this body, but is the intelligence only 5?
Could it be that after carrying different consciousnesses, the physiological structure has not changed, resulting in inaccurate measurement results? Well, it's an interesting phenomenon, if only I had time to study it......
Seeing that he didn't speak, Cheyenne thought he had asked the wrong question, and said, "...... Ah, when I didn't ask, it's a private matter for your Messenger. However, this result is a bit difficult to arrange work. ”
"Is it too low luck that makes you embarrassed?"
"No, no, no, several abilities other than your physique are very average, and they belong to the level of ordinary people. If the strength is higher, you can arrange some heavy work, and if the intelligence is high, then go to the laboratory to work. But only the physique is high, and it is as high as 9...... Well, maybe you might want to consider having a couple of intercourse sessions with one of our girls here? ”
Xuanzang was dumbfounded: "Ah...... Yes? ”
"If the physical fitness value is so high, the sperm quality should be very good. It's been a long time since a fully healthy baby has been born in Chang'an, and if you can add a few high-quality offspring here, it will be a big contribution, and the residents of the shelter will be grateful to you! ”
Cheyenne bit her finger, as if she was seriously thinking about something, then nodded and said, "I don't seem to have to go out to explore again this year, why don't you do anything with me?" ”
