"Feeling good? Congratulations. ”

"Let's talk about it in the evening, when the results will come out."

"Oh yes, David, you don't know yet, do you? The results of the college entrance examination in this world come out so fast! Not even a buffer at all! ”

Buffer time - refers to the fact that after the exam, the whole body relaxes for a period of time, and the results are known by the parents, which is really caught up by the receipt of the arrears.

In Bi Ze's original world, the college entrance examination has a buffer time, and a few days after the test and you don't know the results is the most lively time, especially when you tell your parents that you feel very stable, and you can't say that you can relax your parents' tone and make any requests that they didn't dare to mention in the past.

- But in this world, such happiness is gone!

It's just that the test results are processed too quickly - it is the computing power resources allocated by the nodes of Terra's Heart, and then the intelligent AI of all parties runs and processes it at full power.

Then, the sheer amount of information was put together by Terra's Heart, and the result was a huge list.

That's the interstellar ranking of all the concurrent college entrance exams on the entire planet, including the exam results of the colony cities on the planets of the Holy Terra Federation.

In such a list, Omer can be thrown thousands of miles away, not to mention Bi Ze, who has scribbled and even handed in a blank scroll.

They are all inundated by name, and they can only be searched by typing in the test number.

"You can expect the network to fluctuate when the results are just out, and then make your family wait, and that's also a buffer time."

Omer took a fork and drew meaningless lines on the clean plate.

"There's no buffer time, that's not enough time to even dream!" Bi Ze said indignantly, already with the momentum of 'how can a person like you understand the mood of our scum', "It's almost time to call fantasy!" ”

"It doesn't matter what it's called, do you think David's world has a college entrance examination?" Omer said, looking up at David, who was simply cooking.

It seems that he enjoys the food in his new environment.

However, when he heard that the topic was directly handed to him, David also raised his head, blinked his somewhat stunned eyes, and swallowed the food in his mouth: "There are similar very important exams, but there are no ones that can unify the time nature of the whole planet." ”

"It's not the unity of the whole planet, there are several special zones where the time is staggered......" Ormer habitually corrected.

He has corrected many of the latter's common sense understandings when chatting with David in the past few days, but the time is still short, and his understanding of the world should not be as good as Bi Ze, who switches back and forth between aliens and earthlings.

But Ormo can conclude that his intelligence quotient is higher than that of Bi Ze, it doesn't take long to integrate into this world, and he can have a lot of capable jobs, so he won't be like Bi Ze to receive social subsistence-

- That's right, but he's already in the mercenary team, so the above considerations can be said to be unnecessary.

As for the dangers that come with being a mercenary... Ober glanced at David's arm prosthesis, which was somewhat different from yesterday's, and the pale green indicator light that was clearly added to the back of his neck, and felt that this consideration was really redundant.

The other person seems to have long been accustomed to being in danger, and although the advice of a true friend can be forceful, how to use this power is also a matter of special caution as a true friend.

Naturally, he chose to keep his mouth shut.

After all, his adoptive father was also engaged in a dangerous occupation.

And think about himself, his targets: the executive department of the Security Service of the Two Realms, the armed department that has the most frequent contact with the traversers, and the list of the most dangerous departments of all the professions covered by the civil service.

It turned out to be the same, no different.

The only one who is safe is Bi Ze, who can't even say his ideals, not that he took the initiative to choose stability, but he hasn't really understood the world in a rotten state, and he can't say what ideals and dreams he asks.

"Unspeakable" and "Not" are two concepts, the former being unknown and the latter being nothingness.

The unknown is far more interesting than nothingness, and Omerman is looking forward to the answers he will submit in the future.

As for now... Let's take care of David.

"There are also special zones that are attached to the earth's surface." Omer paused as he spoke, remembering the welfare home he had been in.

"Most of those special zones are special ethnic gathering places that are not suitable for directly mixing with surface residents, because the special zones themselves are like a different world, and there are thresholds for connecting with information here, so the assessment time and information exchange are deliberately staggered."

"You don't usually get to it, do you?" David listened quite seriously, and even had time to scoop a spoonful of rice.

"Mercenaries aren't your average profession either, do you say?"

"Uh... Truly. "David was a little embarrassed to be mentioned, because in the past few days he has been in contact with this world, he has noticed that the style of his gang in Night City is not applicable here, and even too many people's daily lives do not involve the concept of 'mercenary'.

It was for this reason that he didn't call Mann again this time, but the rest of the team, such as Rebecca, were embarrassed by him to refuse.

Ordinary mercenaries are no more, and Rebecca's freedom from her brother is considered an art that is too early for the citizens of the Jiemen District.

And because both brothers are still bachelors, he didn't even dare to invite Lucy.

Getting along with everyone in the party is like returning to Night City, but getting along with these two people seems to know the world better.

He has changed several times in just a few days, and everyone in the team wants him to continue to be in this state.

David didn't know if this was whether everyone was expressing their dissatisfaction with the original him, but he did feel good, in the past, he had always aimed at other people's goals, and this time no one gave him a goal, he might have to find a goal himself.

However, he really didn't expect Omer to take the initiative to bring up the topic of mercenaries.

He even looked at himself and asked, "What is your understanding of mercenaries?" ”

"When you accept a commission to do something, you often use force and even..."David glanced at Bi Ze, and still said the most outrageous words, "When you kill someone." ”

Bi Ze did have some reactions to these words, but it was not the rejection or disgust or fear he expected, but a very subtle reaction that wanted to stop talking.

At the end of such a complicated change in expression, Bi Ze chose to pick up the water glass on the side and remain silent.

"He may be thinking, 'I didn't expect to be the only scumbag.'" Omer said quietly.

"Ahem, ahem."

Judging from the choking reaction, David sadly realized that Omer had right.

"David, here's a hot knowledge that needs to be known to you, that is, although the mercenary profession is a profession that is a little far away from the citizens, it is not too far away."

Omer said, activating the terminal in his hand and pulling a web page from it.

It was a video website, and he opened the live broadcast section by clicking on the category, and he saw a dense live broadcast cover of the main video broadcast.

"These," Omer said, pointing to the covers, "are mercenaries too." ”
