Chapter 230: City Guards
Early the next morning, Chu Fei was awakened by a knock on the door, answered, and then stopped his cultivation, got out of bed and opened the door.
The letter of introduction given by Rose had been sent yesterday afternoon, and the letter was sealed, but Chu Fei still opened it and checked it, although he knew that there should be no accidents, and if Rose wanted to do something, he didn't have to do anything to give him the letter.
Sure enough, the letter was just a letter of introduction, and it didn't say anything else, and the handwriting was also beautiful, it could be seen that it was written by a woman, but I don't know if it was written by Chu Fei by Rose herself.
"Mr. Chu, Miss Rose ordered to come down again and take you to the city guard hall to report for duty." Outside the door was a middle-aged man, as strong as a bear, but he spoke very politely.
Hearing this, he nodded, Chu Fei did not refuse, simply tidied up, and walked out of the corridor with the middle-aged man.
In the early morning, there were not too many people on the street, only some stalls selling breakfast, most of them were fritters and pasta and the like, and it happened that Chu Fei hadn't eaten breakfast yet, so he talked to the middle-aged man, and the two solved the problem of eating.
The reason why he chose to come over at this time period was that the middle-aged man naturally had the intention of rubbing rice, and it didn't cost much crystal nuclei anyway, and Chu Fei was not stingy.
After breakfast, the two walked along the road to the city guard hall, and along the way, the middle-aged man briefly told Chu Fei about some things, which can be regarded as repaying the favor that Chu Fei paid for the meal.
From the mouth of the middle-aged man, Chu Fei also knew some things that were not considered confidential, the so-called city guards were not as harmonious as they seemed on the surface, but were controlled by some various families at the same time.
After all, it is a force whose combat effectiveness cannot be underestimated, and all the families want to get involved, so that the strength of the city guard army is complicated, and the stronger the combat power of the team of their own family, the more weight that family's voice in the base will have.
Of course, if a team with strong combat power is valued by one or more forces, then this team will naturally be contested, and the final belonging will also depend on which faction's fist is bigger and more powerful.
It is precisely because of such simple and crude unwritten rules that the seven most powerful families, without exception, occupy the seven most well-trained and actually powerful teams in the city guards.
Of these seven teams, the proportion of people with abilities is the highest, and most of the personnel are adapted from the army before the end of the world, and their strength is equal to each other's.
The Qingyun Brigade, the former Wolf Tooth Special Brigade, after the outbreak of the end of the world, has an ability awakening rate of as high as 70%, and the preservation of strength is relatively complete, so it ranks fourth in the city guards, and the family where Rose is in charge is the Qingyun Brigade among the seven major troops.
Although after all kinds of battles, there was not one of the ten remaining personnel of the original Qingyun Brigade, but after a steady stream of reserve personnel replenishment, it has firmly occupied the fourth place in the ranking over the years, and it has never fallen.
Of course, the city guards with a large number of personnel, not only these seven troops, but also other teams, but these teams are naturally slightly insufficient compared to the seven major troops in terms of training results and the number of abilities.
But such a team is not looked down upon by the big family, but it has become the core of the other small families to snatch, and with the evolution of this time, most of the troops under the command of the various families have also taken shape.
Although there are still some new families who will fight with other families because of the robbery of the team, there is no one who will not have the sight to provoke the seven families that have stabilized.
After all, not to mention whether they can shake the Seven Great Families with their strength in the Origin Base, even if they really have that kind of strength, once they move the Seven Great Families here, then what awaits them may be that the entire family will be uprooted by the Origin Base.
After all, to be able to mix in the origin base to such a position now, which family does not have some high-level people who support them behind the origin base, this piece of water, ordinary people can't understand.
And the seven troops under the command of the seven families are also the place with the best welfare benefits, and almost everyone who wants to develop in the city guard army has sharpened their heads and wants to enter these seven troops.
As for the ordinary survivors who are helpless, the benefits they receive will naturally be worse, but if they are lucky enough to awaken the ability, it will be different from the past.
Of course, although the Qingyun Brigade is the same as the power of Rose's family, it also has a distinction between the important and the low, the higher the rank and position, the higher the monthly salary and the treatment received, and there are only two ways to improve the rank.
One is to rely on their own strength, the members of the Qingyun Brigade can rely on hard work to cultivate, and constantly improve their ability level, of course, if you choose this way, if you are excluded from the lack of strength, it is absolutely unreasonable.
On the other hand, there is the path of contribution, where some survivors who do not have abilities, or low-level abilities who are not confident in their own strength, can obtain corresponding contribution points by participating in various tasks, and finally exchange for different positions by consuming contribution points.
The positions that rely on the contribution value in exchange, although they do not have much rights, enjoy more favorable treatment, and even some high-level contribution value positions will be greatly respected in the army.
This kind of relationship is like the status of non-commissioned officers and officers in the army before the end of the world, and the two ways have their own advantages and disadvantages, the former is less dangerous and moves up quickly, but it is not stable, and the latter is stable, but it is difficult to move up one step.
However, Chu Fei's current identity is also a fourth-order fire ability, although he may not go far from the road of strength, but it is not a problem to gain a firm foothold.
After all, he has just joined the city guard, and he has risen to the top too quickly, so it is difficult to guarantee that he will not attract the attention of some well-intentioned people, so although it is a little harder, he may be able to get some unexpected gains.
Many things can only be seen thoroughly from the bottom, and most of the embankments of thousands of miles collapsed in the anthill, but very few collapsed for other reasons.
Of course, compared to some other survivors with no background, Chu Fei's treatment was much better than that of other troops, at least the food and training conditions were not comparable to them.
From this point of view, Chu Fei is already higher than some ordinary survivors, after all, the Qingyun Brigade is not able to enter if they want to.
Although the treatment of the city guards is much better than that of other troops, if it is too low-level, it is still not as good as the elite seven troops.
Through the brief introduction of the middle-aged man, Chu Fei gradually had a preliminary understanding of the general situation of the city guards.
