Chapter 32: Obstacles
The main city of Black Thorns under the moonlight, brightly lit, it is late in the second half of the night, and there are still many open shops and customers walking on the streets, which is indeed much more lively and prosperous than Sombra Town. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Some of these people are elite waste pickers living in the main city, and some are core people who come to the main city from other places to sell or buy goods, these people may be very different, but there is one thing in common, that is, almost everyone who comes and goes is busy running around for life.
The main city is very large, and the layout of this young steel city is very good, the redeemers have their own separate living areas, and a small corner to the west of the city is the area where Xixuan and these people live.
As usual, the house is dimly lit and sparsely populated.
The points office is closed at night, and it will only be occupied during the day.
As an extremely important department of every organizational group, the points office is generally located in the center of the city, and the Black Thorn is no exception.
The city is huge, and it takes about an hour to get from the extreme corner in the west of the city to the center of the city by car, and even longer if you choose to walk, about three or four hours.
At this time, there are still three hours before the first morning glow sets on the horizon.
Xixuan hadn't been in the city for a long time, so this time she chose to take the opportunity to take a quiet look at the night view of the royal city.
Speaking of the night scene, Xixuan looked at it and only saw houses made of metal and stones, and occasionally a few potted greenery appeared in the field of vision. Carefully observing the veins of branches, leaves, rhizomes, and stems, this is a rare leisure for her.
She has been living in terror ever since she lost her family overnight and became a redeemer after her town was swallowed up by Black Thorns a few years ago.
Because she has seen too much of the tragic fate of the former redeemer, after awakening to become the core person, she has been running around non-stop, just to earn points.
However, her awakening was much later than that of ordinary cores, and to this day, she is still at the [Mandarin] level, which also causes the number of points she earned to be much worse than the number of points required.
And there are still one year and three months left before she reaches adulthood.
Perhaps it was time to run, but not long ago, she met Mortal Life, and obtained the precious ingredient of thorn fruit wine, which broke the inner barrier, and greatly reduced the number of points required, which also gave her great hope.
Xi Xuan was walking in the silent alleyway at the moment, and she felt the cyan core hanging from her neck with her hand, which was the strongest core except for the black core that belonged to the king, and it was also the property left by her father.
The sheen of pure cyan flows through the inner crystals, each of which has the highest beauty of the wasteland.
Xi Xuan put the kernel back on her chest, the destination of her trip was almost reached, no matter which throne's points office, it could be regarded as the most important ruling department of a throne.
Various types of professionals evaluate the results of various tasks, and then give appropriate points value, which will be added to the personal record, and people exchange these points for everything that Black Thorn has, including all kinds of food, energy, and machinery required by ordinary scavengers, as well as raw materials for internal nuclear weapons, various cores, rare medicinal materials, etc.
When Xixuan walked to the door of the points office, the first warm red glow was kissing the building that stood out from the crowd, and the door was full of people with various packages, waiting for the huge stone door to open, ready to exchange the things they brought for points, and then exchange them for items they desperately needed.
The stone gate is carved from a single piece of stone called "mountain", but not all stones are worthy of the title "mountain", only the stone taken from the main peak of the Prolos Mountains will be called "mountain" stone, which is the hardest stone existing in the wasteland, and one of the most famous characteristics of this stone is that it is not very large, so it can be seen that the points office is at least a rich department no matter what.
[Mountain], as one of the core energy level classification, also has a clear standard, the core person uses the standard core firearm to shoot at the standard thickness and standard volume of [mountain] stone, if it can be penetrated, it means that the Qi in the core person's body has reached the quality required by the level of [mountain], and the core person can be rated as a [mountain] level core.
The [Mountain] Stone Gate of the Points Office is obviously much thicker than the [Mountain] stone in the evaluation, and the thorn vines symbolizing black thorns float vividly on the surface of the stone gate, and the five-meter-high stone gate is slowly opened from the inside, and the crowd of people gathered at the door enter in turn in order, without noise or chaos.
Xi Xuan doesn't think this is strange, the point system is essentially the fundamental system of the throne of the Black Thorns, and anything that goes out of the ordinary in this place is actually challenging the entire Black Thorns, and no one is so stupid.
The crowd poured into the building, most of them staying in the lobby on the first floor, and then dispersed into separate areas, with only a very small number of people walking up the stairs to the upper floors.
The first floor is for ordinary scavengers, and the second floor is for the kernel from the beginning and above, and Xixuan is at the [Citrus] level, so the floor she can reach is the second floor.
Xi Xuan came to the second floor, compared to the first floor, there are many fewer people here, there are many reasons for this, one is that in the entire wasteland, the number of kernels accounts for a very small proportion of the total population, and the black thorns are the four thrones, and the total number of kernels registered under its system will not exceed 10,000.
The Kernel has been searching the wasteland for a long time for various materials to improve themselves, and the time they stay in Black Thorn may only be one month in a year, so the number of people who stay in Black Thorn for a long time will be reduced by two-thirds.
It is also necessary to consider that the Kernel is more arrogant than the ordinary Waste Scavenger, so it is rare for the Kernel to crowd together with the Ordinary Waste Scavenger in the points office and wait to open the door.
It was for some reasons like this, Xixuan didn't wait much, it was her turn.
"When will the points of the thornberry wine come down. Xi Xuan asked, she handed over her metal card, each kernel has its own number, the metal card is also specially made, there is no possibility of impersonation.
The recorder was a middle-aged man of about forty years old, and with a professional smile, he took Xixuan's metal card and placed it on the mechanical card slot, and then the end of the mechanical card slot showed Xixuan's number, and the recorder copied the number, and ordered the young recorder waiting on the side to retrieve Xixuan's file.
The young recorder glanced at the number, and his face changed for a moment, but he quickly recovered and whispered a few words to the older recorder.
The older recorder's expression became a little unnatural, and he apologized to Xi Xuan, "Please wait a moment" and followed the young recorder out of the office.
Xi Xuan instinctively felt that something was wrong, she believed that the recorders of these points offices would not dare to deduct her points, however, she knew very well that these old fritter recorders had various other means to disgust people, such as extending the time for the implementation of points, which was fatal to her, because she couldn't wait, and time was not on her side.
