Chapter 8: The Hunters' Guild
The Hunters' Guild is located southwest of Area 16, which was supposed to be a huge excavation site hundreds of years ago. Some strange boulders www.biquge.info have been dug up and discarded here at will. The semi-circular guild building was beneath a pair of boulders, and it looked like a pair of ridiculous rabbit ears.
Before he could get closer, Kaiyun saw some transformers polishing their mechanical parts at the door. They sat on the blackened iron steps, making vulgar jokes unscrupulously. There are also a few less serious body modifications, who wander in front of the mission release board, and when they see a possible employer, they are like flies that smell something, and they pounce on them a few times, asking long and short questions.
Kaiyun knows that these are either unpopular hunters or pimps who generally co-opt customers and hunters in an attempt to get a piece of the pie in the middle. Worse still, some may have come with the intention of robbery and theft.
The quest and hunter must be properly registered in the guild to be guaranteed, which is what Raff has told him a thousand times. Kaiyun ignored the guys who were gathered around and walked straight into the guild hall.
As soon as you enter the door, you will see several huge screens, which use virtual projections to warn guests of the image of hunters with criminal records. On the other hand, it's a small cone robot that uses its very fast speed to introduce the Hunter Guild to new customers and new hunters.
It was noticeably hotter inside than outside, and two large rusty exhaust fans overhead were working hard to get the heat out of most of the people's steel parts. People came and went in the sweltering heat, talking to the Authority's little conical robots, and if you listened closely, most of them were arguing over disputes over some mission.
In front of Kaiyun was a guy with a head similar to a ball, and he pointed to his ball head and the little robot, screaming and not knowing what to be excited about. The boy didn't bother to bother, and looked up at the 'Death Rush' game playing on a screen behind him.
Although Kaiyun doesn't have much of a passion for this savage game, it has to be said that this kind of rugby match, which combines fighting skills and is a tough game of steel, is a sport that everyone is crazy about. On the screen, a giant man with a body as big as a chariot roared. With the sound of steam, he smashed the opponent's mechanical body to pieces like a cannonball, rushed to the scoring area with the ball, and scored a touchdown.
Not only the narrator, but even most of the people in the hunter hall began to shout wildly. Kaiyun could tell that they were not happy about the score, but more of them, but just intoxicated by the power that ordinary human bodies could not reach at all, and that could only be brought by pure mechanical bodies.
'I'm not going to do this kind of thing. Kaiyun shook his head disdainfully, and thought to himself, "It's almost the same as drinking clean water and eating buttery bread in Agarta, and watching the game comfortably in a chair." ’
"I don't have a record of you here." The boy was looking forward to the good life of Agarta, and a thin light swept through Kaiyun's head. The little robot stood on the front desk, waving his matchstick-like arm, and motioned for Kaiyun to lean forward: "Excuse me, do you need to be commissioned when you go to the Hunter Guild, or do you want to become a hunter?" ”
"Delegate." Kaiyun didn't notice that it was his turn so soon, he stepped forward in three or two steps, and told the Authority's artificial intelligence about the approximate commission. It's about the same as Raff told him yesterday: as a Transhuman Apprentice, the workshop has been commissioned by a Death Collider to go to a cave to extract ore. However, it was found that there were membranous lizards in that cave.
"Membranous lizards, okay. Can you tell me about the approximate degree of filming? ”
"I can't."
"Alright then, for your safety, I'm giving it a 3-star rating from the Authority. Membranous lizards are solitary creatures, and considering that they may have offspring, in this case, I recommend that you hire a hunter with more than 5000 combat power, which is absolutely safe. Are you sure? ”
"Battle...... Combat power? Kaiyun was really stunned now, he forgot his identity as a 'transformer apprentice', and asked directly: "I don't know much, it's best to transform the whole body, his body material is at least level 5 steel...... No, it is better to be above the first grade alloy steel. ”
After all, the little robot is a low-level artificial intelligence, and it didn't notice Kaiyun's mistake. It crossed its hands and began to reply, "You are outdated. Materials alone cannot accurately estimate the physical level of a hunter, and the Authority has been using a new assessment system for non-civilian reformers since several years ago. Rest assured, combat power already includes all the stats of body materials, parts, drives, power output, and weapons. With more than 5,000 combat power, his body configuration is at least level 5 steel, the joints are N-type 430 manufactured in Area 23, the drive device is driven by magnetoelectric field, and the pipeline will not overheat and freeze in extreme environments......"
"Wait...... Anyway, the higher the combat power, the stronger it is, right? "After staying in District 16 for so long, in the process of collecting and lending money, Kaiyun came into contact with factory workers. That is to say, they are all reformers who have carried out civilian modifications of their bodies, and they don't know much about these reformers who involve combat. The most he knows is that the material of the body is different, and this is the first time he has heard so many bells and whistles.
"Yes, if you are not sure, you can also ask the candidate to provide physical configuration information, and for the task, let him strengthen and modify certain aspects such as vision, speed, explosiveness and other components. However, this is generally not necessary, the Authority's assessment of the combat power of adults holding ordinary firearms and weapons is 500 combat power, and the rating of 1 star for those membrane creatures outside corresponds to 1000 combat power, as long as it is higher than 1000 combat power, it is already 1 star higher than those creatures. As long as the hunter isn't the stupid type, it's fine. ”
Kaiyun nodded: "Understood, then it's more than 5,000 combat power." ”
"Okay. There are not many people who have officially obtained the qualification of more than 5000 combat power in District 16, so you should fill out this form first. Here, here and here, please fill in carefully, and I will send a message to the right person based on your tick to see if they are willing to accept the task. ”
The little robot handed over a form, and after Kaiyun took it, he walked to a table next to him and looked at it quietly. This table is basically a pre-agreement on a number of situations, which is very cumbersome, and it is as big as some more important things: how much the employer can pay first. The employer needs the hunter to pay a deposit for how much the mission failed. Hunters in the quest for consumables, how much can the employer reimburse. If the hunter's body is damaged during the mission, how much can the employer cover the repair costs. and whether the employer should insure the mission to make sure that the hunter does not have any ill intentions during the mission.
Details that are so small that they can not be mentioned: whether the hunter is required to bring his own transportation, whether he pays for his own food and accommodation, etc.
Many matters, Kaiyun is simply dizzy, and he doesn't dare to be careless. For a moment, he thought that the hunters of Raff's time were much simpler. The taskbar posts the task, which can be picked up and pulled down, and the two sides are clean and neat.
After filling it out according to the actual situation, Kaiyun handed the form to another small robot at the front desk. After waiting in the guild hall for nearly 3 hours, I finally got the result......
There is no match.
