Chapter 41: The Society of the Survivors
The association is located in the central area of Pingchuan City, the most conspicuous position of the main avenue of the city, covering a large area, with four floors of courtyards inside and outside, a sixteen-story main building, a twelve-story auxiliary building, and a four-storey podium, forming a huge building complex.
The central area is the first of the five districts of Pyeongcheon City, and is the political, cultural and economic center of Pyeongcheon.
There are not many buildings that can be compared with the Wilderness Survival Association, and the City Lord's Mansion, the Pingchuan Military Division, the Pingchuan Police Headquarters, and the Pingchuan Ministry of Finance are the only units that can compete with him.
Walking into the main entrance of the association, Du Qian stopped and sighed for half a minute, human beings are amazing, it is really unimaginable that they can develop to the current scale on a planet with such a harsh living environment.
Okay, the time is over, let's get down to business.
The main building is divided into seven areas, first of all, the four main areas of mountain demons, sea ghosts, sandworms, and grass streams, and then the three main areas of comprehensive, service, and exchange.
The names of the four main areas sound a bit strange, at least outsiders will have such thoughts when they first walk into the main building of the association.
As a native of Pingchuan, Du Qian is not strange at all. Among the five districts of Pingchuan, in addition to the central area, the other four districts are Zhoushan, Zhenbao, Oasis, and Mingyang, which belong to the four directions of Pingchuan City, and the central area is tightly surrounded by the center of the city, and the central area can even be called a city within a city.
Coming out of the city from these four districts, the scenery outside the city is completely different, the name Zhoushan District is too ordinary in the empire, and more than eighty percent of the cities will have a Zhoushan District. The Buzhou Mountain Range, also known as the Imperial Dragon Vein, runs through the vast territory of the entire empire, and it does not take too far to walk out of any city, and you can see the Buzhou Mountain Range, or the periphery of the mountain range.
That's right, out of Zhoushan District, a hundred miles east, is the world-famous Buzhou Mountain Range. As the saying goes, relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, relying on the sea to eat the sea. A considerable part of the civilians who live in Zhoushan District eat in Zhoushan, so they are called mountain demons.
As for the sea ghosts, needless to say, they also know that they refer to the Treasure District, which is backed by Treasure Bay and faces the sea, and it is normal to eat the food of the sea, and they are called sea ghosts.
Mingyang District went out of the city to the south, less than fifty kilometers away, and entered the boundless desert, which was naturally the cause of the sandworm.
To the north of the oasis area, two hundred kilometers away, you will enter the Hanhai grassland, and it is not easy to make a living on the grassland, and it is named the grass flow.
The geographical location of Pingchuan City is not good, and it is relatively special, it can connect four completely different landforms at the same time, which is rare in the entire Zhoushan Empire.
It is precisely because of this unique landform that the association will appear in these four main areas, the warp and weft are distinct, not who looks down on whom, but in different environments to seek life, the need for survival skills, experience, the difference is too great, want to go to other areas to live, it is not so easy.
The Wilderness Survival Association is different from the military, and it is not a government agency, no one cares about your life or death, you are the one who ate this severed meal, and if you are not careful, there are many people who mix yourself to death.
The comprehensive area is such a place, there are two kinds of people mixed here, the former is a real all-rounder, in any environment, can survive well, is a real master in the Pingchuan Association. The other is the panacea, which can only be mixed, and it is good to mix it until you don't die.
In fact, to put it bluntly, there is no expertise, and in any environment, I am not particularly proficient, but I know a little. The comprehensive area is long in the four districts, so there is naturally more work, but it is even more difficult to mix here.
The service area refers to the area where the association serves survivors, including a series of services such as registration, pick-up, return of tasks, release of information, and help support. Don't think that the association is a welfare unit, and all the service items are paid for, and the price is not low.
The exchange area is the most lively, and the other seven districts together do not have as many people as here. As you can see from the name, this is actually a small market, and it is an extremely open kind, and the only requirement here is that you can't use Zhoushan coins, that is, you can't trade directly with money, you can only barter.
This is done for one purpose, to avoid taxes. Anyone who enters the exchange area will remember the famous saying here: no sale, no harm.
Du Qian looked at the various explanatory information in the main hall of the association, touched his chin, thought for a long time, and didn't figure out which district was more appropriate to go to. It is said that he is from the Treasure District, so he should naturally go to the Sea Ghost District, and has lived in an orphanage school for ten years, and it is so close to the Treasures Bay Fisherman's Wharf, and the water is still quite good.
But Du Qian knows that water and life at sea are completely different things. The most important thing is that Du Qian doesn't have time. As a police officer, you have to work five days a week, and you have two days of rest, which is not enough to go to sea. Even if he hadn't actually gone to sea by boat, he knew that even if he was a medium-sized fishing boat, he wouldn't be able to come back in two or three days if he went to sea once.
The nearest one is naturally the Boundless Desert, but Du Qian has a problem surviving in the desert, let alone looking for work there.
Forget it, don't think so much, register a survivor information first, otherwise you won't be able to take the task.
The Wild Survivors' Association can be big, and there is a reason for it. Oppressed by the City Lord's Mansion, the Ministry of Military Affairs and the Commercial Bank, there are always people who don't want to be angry, and almost all of these people have come to the Survival Association.
It is true that there is a fee here, but relatively speaking, the fee is much less, and the majority is taken by the individual survivors, so that more people are attracted.
Being able to live here is naturally not comparable to the little bastards on the dock, along the way, almost all of them are martial monks, Du Qian couldn't imagine that there were so many martial monks in Pingchuan City.
Moreover, these warrior monks only account for one-third or half of the warrior monks in Pingchuan City, and the vast majority of the warrior monks still serve the city lord's mansion, the army, and the merchants. Although they can only take a small head, or even a fraction of it, they can live a stable life and the risk factor is much smaller.
The registration fee is ten yuan per person, no matter what your status is, as long as you are an adult, you can register, after registration, whether you can make money, what does it have to do with the association? At least this identity allows you to enter and exit the exchange area freely.
The number of registered people in the association is far more than Du Qian imagined, even if it is a martial monk who works in the city lord's mansion and a trading house, he usually likes to register an identity, anyway, it is only ten yuan, which is not a matter at all for a martial monk.
On the other hand, there are very few soldiers registered here, especially those of the field army, almost none of them, and the military law is strict, and they have the heart and the courage to do so.
Turn......
After turning around for more than two hours and reading all the tasks that could be seen, Du Qian had to admit that none of the tasks in the Wild Survivors Association were suitable for him, even if he was doing chores, and the time was not right.
As for the tasks that can really make money, that is what only the martial monks are capable of taking. Even if he is lucky recently, Du Qian will not really think that he has the halo of the protagonist on his head, kills all directions, and with more than 6,000 combat power, he can take on the task alone, and he can overachieve, it is a dream.
Orphans have many dreams, but they don't daydream.
Look at the time is almost up, there is another hour, you have to go back, absorb the spirit horn can not be delayed, enter the wild survival association, and can more deeply understand how important combat power is. If you don't have combat power, you don't have human rights.
There are more than 20,000 square meters in the exchange area, and the association provides nearly 10,000 stalls, one next to the other, there is everything on the stalls, spirit horns, spirit thorns, these are all ordinary, all kinds of strange things, 90% of which Du Qian has never seen.
After watching the flowers for ten minutes, Du Qian's interest was greatly reduced, there are many people here, but they all have nothing to do with him.
Forget it, let's go home.
When I turned around, I saw a stall next to me that was different, why did I say that? Because there was only one sign hanging on the stall, and there was nothing. There are four big words on the sign: make money interview.
This is suitable, my brother came here because he was short of money.
Isn't it, who is not short of money when they come here, everyone is short of money. But in front of this booth, there was no one to ask, Du Qian was a little suspicious, whether this was a liar.
"Interview?" Du Qianzhuang boldly walked over and asked, how can you say that my brother is also a patrol policeman, and the patrol police are also a policeman, you dare to lie to me, believe it or not, my brother will arrest you and go back to the bureau.
"New here?" Sitting at the back of the stall was a young man, no older than Du Qian, with a small metal plaque hanging on his chest, which read: Staff, and the name below is the Wilderness Survival Association.
This brand of cow, dare to hang this sign in the Wild Survival Association to deceive people, your courage is not ordinary.
Thinking about it, no, there must be those who are bold, but the Wilderness Survival Association will not let people smash their brand here, can it be said that this guy is genuine?
"New here, how do you know. Du Qian asked in his tone, liars usually have this tone, if they don't scare you, how can they deceive people?
"This stall has been there since the first day of the opening of the exchange area, and it is the first stall, not a newcomer, so there is no need to ask. ”
"Hmmmmmmm
"Okay, I'll come to the interview, how to make money?"
"Piecework, ten yuan for a qualified product, minimum requirements, combat power of more than 5,000, on-the-go, cash on delivery, cash credit card as you choose, the number is not limited, how many you want. "Young people are so slippery, a string of words can be said without stumbling, and I don't know how many times I have said it before I can practice it.
"What are you doing?" Du Qian admitted, regardless of whether the other party was a liar or not, he really hung up his appetite, especially the price of ten yuan a piece, which was too tempting.
What can ten yuan do? Everyone has a different statement, to Du Qian, ten yuan is equivalent to a pack of broken spirits, that thing is definitely not as good as the spirit horn, the speed of absorption should be much slower, the total amount is also small, but it is not cheap.
Du Qian bought broken spirits twice, the first time the effect was good, but it was Steward Li taking care of himself, and the second time it was half less, and the most unfortunate thing was that he actually encountered an assassination incident, and the bag of broken spirits was lost.
