After sailing on the Star Sea for nine days, the ship anchored at an airport. The gangway hung down, and the waiters lined up to escort the tourists out of the cabin. At this time, there were only a few people standing there in the airport, all waiting for someone.
Lu Ning also felt the feeling of being welcomed for the first time, but this feeling only lasted for a moment, and then she had to support Shang Wenxue, who was almost breathless with excitement, to prevent her from falling here.
The lights of the airport illuminated the surroundings like daytime. Tong Yan, who had previously been assigned to Lu Ning, stood in the most conspicuous place, and beside him stood two young people, a man and a woman.
Qu Tingchan looks like a quiet, scholarly person. The only thing that made him look a little unconventional was the long strand of hair on the side of his forehead, with a silver ring tied at the end. He was dressed normally, a fitted black jacket and jeans. The corners of his mouth always turn upward, giving him a very comfortable smile.
Du Xieyi was wearing a red-and-white striped sweatshirt and brown shorts, a color-shattering combination. Her short but not long hair was also dyed with a few strands of color. The overall look was like a rainbow - that's her face. Can support such a chaotic combination. Compared to Qu Tingchan's quietness, she was unusually cheerful. She stood behind Tong Yan, smiling and waving her hands to greet everyone.
Yan Rong was the first to walk up.
"Mr. Tong, I'm sorry, the mission..."
"The superiors have already understood the details of the mission, and the final judgment will be issued later. In view of the special nature of this scene, I think the most is that the subsequent rewards will not be paid. Of course, since the mission has not been completed, you may also accept it in the near future. Assign other tasks." Tong Yan dispelled everyone's biggest worry with one sentence, and then turned around, "Now that everyone is here, we will go to the headquarters of Rosicrucian here to familiarize you with this place."
He took the first step, but Qu and Du did not move, and took the initiative to fall behind and meet the people approaching.
"It's really Qu Ting Zen! It's really Du Xieyi!"
Lu Ning could only hear Shang Wenxue's scattered thoughts in her ears, and even the wrist she held was shaking. Fortunately, she knew how to control her strength, otherwise Lu Ning would have had to throw her away in order to prevent her wrist from being broken. .
"Oh, thank you for your hard work!" Du Xieyi lifted up his colorful bangs, saluted everyone with a completely non-standard salute, and then naturally started talking to Yan Rong.
Qu Tingchan also picked up what Zhou Weiyuan and Jiao Mengqi said, and he didn't neglect the others around him. Even before Lu Ning opened her mouth, Du Xieyi took the initiative to speak to her: "Lu Ning, I heard that you performed well this time, congratulations! It's a pity that if I don't upgrade, I don't have enough authority to view the content of your scene activities, otherwise I would still have to Can we talk more about it? And you are also the person who has been promoted to the second level the fastest in recent times! Although the data is only from the organization~ But the Rose Cross already represents the best force, doesn't it? This is your friend here ?Do you want the girl to come and have a look inside the organization?"
Proficient in business, this...
Lu Ning could only answer her with onomatopoeia, and she was slightly surprised at the same time.
Even if the status of Qu and Du were really high, no one would say anything. After all, the performance was there, and what kind of character the person who was forcibly pushed back would have. Lu Ning was completely unsure, but he didn't expect it. ...no different from some people I meet in daily life.
The performance of the two people may even make people question: Is this really the kind of perfect genius? Instead of those staff at Level 3 who are good at greeting newcomers?
Among the people Lu Ning had come into contact with before, the more powerful they were, the more exposed their quirks were. Cheng Wuling and Zhao Xihua both belonged to this category, and the rest of them were getting closer and closer to the description of "normal" as they went through the scenes. Even from a distance, including Ning Yeyi and Yan Rong, Lu Ning could detect the abnormalities hidden under their appearance.
This feeling does not exist at all between Qu and Du.
The smile is sincere. I have gotten to know each person in order to welcome you. The tone and depth of the inquiry and conversation are also taken into consideration. The tone and depth of the inquiry and conversation are also considered. It seems to be light-hearted but reflects the appropriate degree of preparation. Pay attention but do not touch everyone. The bottom line of privacy...
Lu Ning felt that if she continued to think about it, the suspicion that had not occurred for a long time would start again.
When everyone left, they happened to see a few people from the puppet party. Yu Wenjie, Lu Lin, and Luo Xiao were all there, but Hu Yuan and Yu Fen didn't know whether they failed or all of their clones died, so they were not with these three people. Tong Yan glanced at them and ignored them, but Qu Tingchan looked at them carefully.
"What did you find?" After everyone walked away, Du Xieyi asked several questions that everyone wanted to ask.
"They will not join the assassination team." Qu Tingchan said.
"Ability issue? Character issue?"
"It's a matter of personality. This is also good news. At least there is currently no one in our line who meets the admission standards for the assassination team. You can report it to your superiors." Qu Tingchan's last words were to Tong Yan.
"I understand. Then... I'll leave it to you two for the tour." Tong Yan bowed to the two of them.
"It's easy to talk, you have a lot to do!" Du Xieyi quickly waved his hand to send Tong Yan away, and then he immediately cheered up and looked at everyone: "Then please follow us to the headquarters. Look at the construction here!”
"Should I avoid this place?" Ning Yeyi stopped, "After all, this is an internal matter within your organization..."
"Then I can recommend you a few places to visit." Du Xieyi said with a smile.
Probably because she noticed that Ning Yeyi had no intention of joining, she didn't force anyone to stay.
===========
The area of the third-level distribution center is already very wide. When Lu Ning arrived at the airport, he saw the aerial view from the port window. This was a giant city with a steel urban style. Most buildings are made entirely of metal and are built directly on the ground. The entire distribution center is assembled and fitted together in a block structure. To adjust the condition of a certain building, it is enough to replace that part of the module.
Because the whole body is made of metal, there are no tall trees here, and there are more low shrubs and lawns. Naturally, there is no need to consider issues such as greening here in the distribution center. Compared with the hurried people on the second level, the third level has a more lively atmosphere.
"As you can see, the third-level distribution center constitutes a considerable part of tourists' lives." Perhaps knowing that Du Xieyi's explanation might go off topic, Qu Tingchan took the initiative to start the introduction.
"The subject of life?"
"Level 3 is the most moderate level of difficulty. Visitors can get enough exercise without it being too easy. Most people will choose this stage for their own accumulation, because if they continue to move up, they will face very big challenges. challenge."
"Upward is the fourth level...I heard people say it's very troublesome there." Shang Wenxue had finally recovered from the excitement and was able to take the initiative to ask questions.
"That's right, even we don't know much about the fourth-level information, and the meaning above is that the less we know before actually entering the mission of that level, the better."
"Why?" Zhou Weiyuan asked, "We have always relied on the experience gained from a large amount of data and combined with reality to survive."
"That's right, and those information will continue to help you survive. However, the fourth level is a little different. After all, [fourth level tourists are already qualified to be paid a little attention by the distribution center]."
After Qu Tingchan finished speaking, there was no more explanation. Obviously this sentence can only be understood but not expressed.
Everyone present looked thoughtful after listening to it, and everyone's understanding was different. Moreover, the fourth level still sounded a bit far away. The focus now is to adapt to the new third level difficulty.
"Let's get back to the issue we are most concerned about, which is the third-level scene. The score limit has been extended to 20,000, which means that the scene will contain more scoring methods. Challenge the limits, solve scene puzzles, reveal the background of the world, save and destroy Choices, these are all means of scoring. However, I don’t recommend that you continue to go too far in the third level. After all, an obvious situation is that the third level difficulty continues to increase the number of tourists and the world’s top combat power. level of strength."
"It's just a suggestion, right?" Yan Rong asked.
"Yes, the clearance of warriors is restricted, but it is not completely unthinkable. I just hope that you can broaden your knowledge and skills and be prepared to deal with various emergencies."
"What you said is too serious." Du Xieyi finally found a chance to say something.
Qu Tingchan glanced at her and couldn't help but shake his head: "That's exactly what we need to do. Even we need to pay attention to the traps in the scene. I think it's good to remind the newcomers to pay more attention to this..."
"Don't look down on these newcomers too much. Think about it, why are we two here to pick them up this time? These people may also be important figures in the organization in the future." Du Xieyi said briskly, "Everyone, maybe Qu Tingzen It is a good guide for some ordinary members who have advanced to the third level, but what I want to say is... this is not suitable for you."
"So what is suitable for us?" Jiao Mengqi asked.
"Personalization." Du Xieyi said, "You don't need to follow the usual training routine, be led by others, complete special learning projects, and then be promoted in groups at the right time to increase your survival rate... This is for ordinary people. Yes, a way to ensure minimum survival."
"You think we are not ordinary people?" Shang Wenxue's breathing became rapid again.
"You are the ones who have attracted attention from above. In this case, of course, you are different from ordinary people who plan to learn and challenge. You have your own growth path. The ultimate goal of all of you should be to be omnipotent, rather than partial to a certain aspect. .”
"This is very difficult." Lu Ning couldn't help but say, "How many of the top figures can achieve such a thing as omnipotence?"
"You misunderstood what I meant." Du Xieyi burst into laughter, "Almighty refers to adaptability to all scenarios, rather than mastering all knowledge, which is just miscellaneous but not masterful. Each of you already has the foundation. All it takes is some guidance and you can find your own direction.”
At this time, everyone stopped in front of a building painted silver gray. On the majestic-looking gate, the emblem of the Rose Cross was shining with a faint light.
"We're here, this is the headquarters." Qu Tingchan walked to a camera next to the door, stood for a moment, and then the door suddenly opened.
"Du Xieyi likes to inspire others and believes that everyone has their own way of learning and growing that is most suitable for them. But I still want to say that she focuses on individuals while I focus on groups." Qu Tingchan walked in first. , continued to tell everyone, "Both of us are the 'aces' here, and we also understand the experiences of everyone here at various times. Whether it is pain or confusion, the third-level distribution center can allow people to relax a little bit. Relax your tense nerves, just because there is more human touch here. But the cruelty of the scene will only make more people disappear, and you have to learn to adapt."
"Ah, I finally made everyone feel more relaxed..."
"Once you get familiar with this place, you'll have plenty of time to relax."
There are a lot of people in this building, and unlike Lu Ning and others, most of them are what Du Xieyi calls "ordinary people."
Even third-level tourists are not very outstanding people. It is true that everyone's skills and knowledge are enough to be called an elite in normal life, but they are also like the "mass-produced" category under the unified education system. However, Qu and Du still greeted and chatted with everyone they met with an equal attitude. They knew that these people were the cornerstone of the Rose Cross.
Nine legions, how many people are there in total? How many of these people are top-notch?
Lu Ning thought of Chu Jianting. He was training and upgrading step by step according to the route prescribed by the Silver Star Society. I'm afraid there would be no chance of meeting him in the future. Such a person will definitely become a member of Rosicrucian in the future. Maybe he can survive to the fifth level in the end, or he may die somewhere in the middle.
"They've started living here."
Du Xieyi's voice suddenly sounded in her ears. She had been chatting with people in the team. At this time, she had come to Lu Ning's side, and she could see Lu Ning's thoughts at a glance.
"Life will wear down people's fighting spirit, and habits will make the goal farther and farther away." Du Xieyi's voice was no longer so cheerful, but with a lowered sigh, "That final goal, many people are thinking about it. Everyone has gradually given up here. Some think they can't reach the end, some have more unforgettable memories here, and some have forgotten the place and reason why they want to go back after experiencing too many 'treatments.'
Lu Ning was horrified.
"You don't want this, right? This is the path that I think is suitable for you... Lu Ning, I will help everyone I meet, but that's about it at most. Use the third level to train yourself, and then Upgrading to the fourth level will not let down everyone who works hard, that is the greatest cruelty and mercy in the distribution center."
"you know……"
"Shhh."
Du Xieyi shook his fingers, winked at her, and then went to find the next person.
