Chapter 16: Something Isn't Right
Jiuchuan Group, located in the south of the city, is headquartered in a 100-storey building.
It's more of a military base than a company, and the gates are heavily guarded and those who enter them are closely checked.
Looking up, the upper floors of the building are connected to a large number of overpasses, which are interconnected with the surrounding annexes, and if you take a maglev car, you can even go directly to the upper floors.
It's a pity that Uncle Lei's car is a four-wheeled car, so he can only walk close to the ground and obediently drive into the underground garage and park it.
"Don't envy those flying cars, it's not practical, it's easy to be knocked down when flying in the air. I'm going to take you to the onboarding, from here closely. ”
Uncle Lei muttered a little sourly, reluctantly came up with a reason, and did not squeeze the elevator, but took Xu Jiang to climb 5 floors and came to the personnel department.
The distance is not far, with Uncle Lei's guarantee escort, and the entry procedures are relatively simple.
After all, he is just a wilderness hunter, and he has no access to core secrets, and the terms of the contract are not too strict.
As for salary, 3,000 credits per month are guaranteed, and additional income depends on the commission.
In a trance, Xu Jiang returned to the scene of his previous life immersed in coding.
Uncle Lei hurriedly explained on the side: "The current salary is low, that is because I want you to develop in a low-key manner." You can stay in Group 17 with peace of mind, and from tomorrow onwards, I will train you individually. When you're good, I'll move you to a more powerful group. ”
In order to appease Xu Jiang, Uncle Lei also used his own name to ask the company for a batch of equipment, and he could get it immediately.
"Really? Get it for free? No money? Xu Jiang asked suspiciously.
"Of course, I still have this bit of face, and I still have that batch of loot, I will take you to sell it tomorrow, rest assured, the price is definitely higher than the market price."
Stopped a passing robot, asked for two sweepers-like vehicles, and slowly slid towards the annex building.
It can be seen that Uncle Lei is indeed planning for his benefits, but the so-called face is actually just like that.
The Jiuchuan Group's arsenal is, of course, also graded, and Uncle Lei's face is limited to the novice equipment arsenal within level 15.
As soon as he entered the door, Xu Jiang was attracted by the dazzling array of weapons.
Rockets up to 4 meters in length, chainsaw axes that cut people like vegetables, large and small, everything.
He even saw a blue quality level 15 power mech, with 6 weapon slots, with a short-range propulsion device, which can be equipped with a small laser cannon, and the attributes are very good.
"How? Isn't it tempted? Uncle Lei said proudly: "You just can't finish the equipment here in a day, so let me give you some recommendations." ”
"With your combat talent, it would be too wasteful to choose bulky power armor, I suggest you choose nano armor."
Nano armor, which is also a type of liquid armor, is not as flexible as liquid armor, but fortunately, the armor is hard and can be equipped with a miniature power core.
Of course, this is too far from the degree of self-evolution of a thousand machines.
"In terms of weapons, I recommend you use these two level 15 revolvers, they are green quality suits, and when you get used to it, I can also teach you my skills."
Green quality, the attribute of a single piece is only a little higher than that of white quality, but carrying several parts at the same time, there is an additional set bonus, and the attribute is considerable.
It can be seen that Uncle Lei has completely entered the role of the master, and he is ready to teach the skills at the bottom of the box.
Teaching skills is another way to learn in addition to skill stones, but it takes more time, and whether you can comprehend it also depends on the strength of the teacher and the understanding of the student.
It's a pity that he can't use any of these weapons.
Looking at the warehouse, there are at least tens of thousands of pieces of equipment of level 10-15, but the [General Order] is stunned and has no response, what is the difference between weapons that cannot be ordered and garbage?
Last time, Sand Eagle mentioned that he had to make a contribution and possess a weapon with the soul of a machine in order to be able to command it.
Could it be that the weapons here are too low-level? Or maybe you don't have experience with new weapons and need to find some old antiques?
Xu Jiang couldn't figure it out, so he could only find another way.
"Lei Lao, the equipment here is not suitable for me, can you exchange it for some other materials?"
When Uncle Lei heard this, he frowned slightly.
Unhappy?
There are tens of thousands of pieces of equipment here, and you can know at a glance that it is not suitable? Is it a matter of talent?
He knew that Xu Jiang must have concealed some talents, but he would not ask about it.
After all, who doesn't have some secrets in this chaotic era? If his hole cards are fully exposed, he will only die faster, and he is very satisfied with Xu Jiang's caution.
But at present, Xu Jiang's talent does not seem to be suitable for ordinary equipment.
"What do you need?" Uncle Lei asked.
"Can you redeem these for me?"
Xu Jiang listed the materials needed for upgrading, and Uncle Lei frowned slightly after seeing it.
The value of the materials on the list is not low, especially the level 20 purple mecha, which is already considered a low-level superlative.
With Xu Jiang's talent, it is of course no problem to take out a set and give it to him, but you need to apply to the top.
Once the action is too big, it is likely to be noticed by the company's top management, which is not good for the current stage.
After thinking about it, Uncle Lei said: "That's it, Xu Jiang, [Colorless Small Crystal Block] can be here, I'll give it to you first, and I'll slowly help you find a way to get the rest of the materials." ”
"Okay, thanks."
Seeing Uncle Lei's busy appearance, Xu Jiang was also very moved, although he had not yet officially apprenticed, he was already helping him plan for the future.
Thinking about it this way, the 'Seventeen Group' introduced by Uncle Lei should also be a very good position, which is worth looking forward to.
Just as Xu Jiang was thinking, the warehouse manager who was in charge of the weapons depot bumped his hand on the side.
"Hey~ brother, it's new, seeing that Deacon Lei cares about you so much, which department?" The warehouse manager asked very gossipy, like Xu Jiang, there are very few people who have been cared for by the deacon when they first enter the company.
Xu Jiang smiled slightly and replied, "I joined the Wilderness Hunting Department. ”
"The Hunting Department, the Hunting Department is good!" The warehouse manager showed an envious tone, "I also want to join the Wilderness Hunting Department, I can make a lot of money, and I can continue to improve my strength, but unfortunately my strength is insufficient." By the way, which group of brothers? ”
"Seventeen groups."
As soon as the words fell, Xiao Cangguan's face changed instantly, and the weak legs of his legs took a step.
This reaction made Xu Jiang nervous, this is his first job! Uncle Lei, don't hurt me.
"These seventeen groups, is there something wrong?" Xu Jiang hurriedly asked.
The warehouse manager hesitated for a moment, looked at no one around, and said in a low voice: "Generally speaking, the Hunting Department is fine, but only these seventeen groups have two high indicators that are terrifying. ”
"What indicator?"
"One is the mission failure rate, which is as high as 72%, and the wind rating is the worst in the entire wilderness hunting department."
"7 out of 10 missions?" Xu Jiang was also stunned.
With such a high failure rate, it is no longer a matter of ability, but a lazy and unworkable water skier
But after thinking about it, it shouldn't have much impact on him.
Anyway, he will stay for a while and study, if it is really not suitable, after completing Uncle Lei's training, it will be good to transfer out.
Who knew that the warehouse manager came over more mysteriously, with a hint of fear in his tone.
"Brother, you don't know! Its second indicator is the highest mortality rate in the entire hunting department, and even patrolling the streets can kill people. ”
"It's not that exaggerated."
"Really, there are two people who barely survived, and they applied to leave the team after staying for less than a week, according to them, the seventeenth group is a group of neurotics, brother, you ask for more blessings."
