The storm passed, leaving behind a mess, and the affected people eventually had to return to their daily lives.
Kang's impassioned speech ended, and large-scale reforms were fully promoted, but people's lives seemed to have not changed much.
No, there may be changes, but they are subtle and comprehensive, and they unfold gradually... Those who should go to school still have to go to school, and those who should go to work still have to go to work. How you lived yesterday, you will continue today.
But some things can never be returned to yesterday.
"...Have you heard about the explorer qualification..."
The hottest topics this month, this year, and even in the past three or four years have been determined.
As a college student, Lu Pingan felt quite strange. Two days later, even the chicks from the ordinary class in his own club were discussing these things happily.
I don’t know where the source of the information leaked from, but if anyone can’t say a few words about topics like “our future” and “the development of the world”, it’s obvious that they can’t keep up...even if they are All of them are not even professionals.
"Lu Ping'an, I heard that you got a recommendation quota this time and you want to take the exam twice in a row?"
"...Yes." This was not a secret, or in a sense, it was an honor. Lu Pingping agreed smoothly.
"Very good!"
"Amazing."
"...It's great. If I miss this opportunity, I don't know how long I have to wait..."
The little girls talked a lot and discussed happily, which made Lu Pingan's head hurt. It seemed that they knew better than Lu Pingan, as if they had also seen the speech.
When asked, it turns out that this is really the case... There is no news control this time, and the leaked video tapes are already everywhere.
But their envy and congratulations are also justified. For any system or reform, the first time is a trial. No one can be sure what the result will be. The first trial is destined to be limited.
As mentioned in the speech, after the first phase of "qualification certificates" is issued, there may not be a second phase in the short term...
"Tsk, if you still play the limited-time sale, you will go crazy when the time comes."
Part of the content of the Explorer Certificate has been determined, and the official has given a rather simple explanation. In the final analysis, it is actually a "qualification."
You have the qualifications to travel to another world through official channels.
You have the qualifications to explore other worlds and obtain "legitimate gains".
When you encounter difficulties and dangers, you can ask for supplies and support from the local our base, or even seek reinforcement qualifications from the "our garrison".
You have the qualifications to return to your home world through official channels with the loot.
A thin certificate can provide almost zero direct benefits. You have to make all the preparations, equipment, and personnel for exploration by yourself, but everyone can see that this certificate will be worth thousands of gold... So, Only for your own people.
Yes, that's right, the first batch of individual qualification certificates are only given to professional secretkeepers with "official background"... Xia Qin and Lu Ping'an are eligible to take the exam.
The more Lu Pingan looked at it, the more he realized there was something fishy in this simple rule.
You are a person who is qualified to buy "ship tickets" and "tickets", and you are a person who comes and goes through formal channels... But it is not clear how many tickets you can buy and what price you need to pay for a round trip. .
What if you only have one ticket for yourself? It's almost meaningless. Throwing it alone into a big world is like throwing sugar into the sea. It disappears without a trace in an instant, and you can't even feel the sweetness.
"...Captain's permit."
Lu Ping'an had some guesses. The first batch of individual-level certificates would be awarded to official and semi-official people, not to let them play Lonely Heroes, but to build an "adventure group" with them as the core.
It is still difficult for a small team to be alone in a foreign land, but if they can defeat the "Captain" and get help from local forces, including intelligence, materials, manpower... the most important thing is that they can be there at the most dangerous time. Raising a handful of reinforcements is basically not as difficult as starting from scratch.
The policy designed by Dongguo is very clever. It gives the first batch of "qualification certificates" to trustworthy objects, and then allows private forces to use them as the core... Even if they are later ignored, the other party needs to rely on official supply lines , access roads, berthing ports, and bases are not easy to escape.
This is a personal level. Church forces and large companies are another matter... The first batch of "exploration certificates" for major forces have been issued, and all have been given to the Zhengshen Church. In the final analysis, they are still semi-official forces.
Individuals, groups, large churches, and large companies are all scattered, but there is a communication bridge called "Explorers". At least everyone is of the same kind and should be able to take care of each other in a foreign land.
Of course, your small team can use your "captain" as an empty role, but the official forces will naturally consider the intensity of support for you based on the actual situation... From another perspective, even if they are used as an empty role or used as a decoration, they will still be at the core. , uniting those originally neutral and idle forces around the officialdom.
"The church is another matter. It only gives the righteous God... Oh, that's not necessarily the case."
Lu Ping'an thought for a while, who wouldn't know how to play with skin-changing, clinging, and taking on names? Since it is going to be developed on a large scale, strict investigation is impossible. By then, the evil gods may have united around the righteous gods.
"...It's true, times have changed." After thinking for a moment, Lu Ping'an felt that the world seemed to be getting weirder and weirder, and no one was sure what would happen next.
The official "instructions" were quite simple, just briefly mentioning the obligations and rights of explorers, and it was written in one page.
But professionals are not fools waiting to be fed. Many of them either inquired about information or pieced together things here and there, and came up with some decent things.
Lu Ping'an read a lot of various analyses, pieced it all together, and came up with his own ideas.
"...If the positioning is 'captain', then what kind of abilities are required?"
What Lu Pingan was thinking about was how to get the qualification certificate and what tests would be taken.
Many news indicate that if you miss this opportunity, it will be six months at the earliest... If you really miss it, let's not mention whether there will be a next time. Even if there is, most of the conditions will rise to the sky.
This is a new era and new methods, and human resources are in short supply. Maybe if we take an opportunity, we will probably open the door to lower the standards... Of course, this reduction is only relative.
As long as you get this certificate, you can still collect rent regularly even if you hang out.
Since it was just the right time, Lu Ping'an didn't want to miss it at all. He was actually quite interested in "going out and taking a look", but the qualification certificate should be quite difficult to obtain.
"...'Captain level under thirty years old'..."
In fact, the order Xia Qin received hinted a lot.
"Strong and reliable..."
Sailing on the vast sea is a long and difficult job. The "captain" must be able to hold his own and speak a thousand words. Personal strength is always the key...at least, not to "suddenly suffer a serious illness" "The death was inexplicable.
As for finding young people, it's even easier...Young people have more time left, lest the hard work of training them will be wasted after they die.
Reliability and official background seems to be the first requirement at the moment... It can also be seen from the information that this world has already established a presence in other worlds. It seems that they have done a lot secretly.
Now, it should just be expanded and put into civilian use, and only the trial version will be fully released...
Lu Ping'an shook his head. He still knew too little now, too much gossip and hearsay.
And in front of him, there are really some certain things...
""A Brief Introduction to Plane Knowledge", "The Fifty Most Common Outlanders and Their Customs and Habits", "Seven Superpowers Necessary for Plane Travel and Their Cultivation Methods"... They are really willing to give away all this forbidden knowledge for free."
This was not something Lu Pingan bought from some source, but was just distributed in class... This is a new teaching material in the school, and it seems that the entire Gu University is also undergoing reforms.
"Lu Ping'an, are you reading this too? Someone there complained that five more compulsory courses were added before the lessons were learned clearly. We don't know when we will use this knowledge."
Did even the preparatory classes suffer? Lu Ping'an showed a strange expression and sighed silently.
"...I received seventeen books and received eleven extra classes this year."
Instantly, everyone was frightened. Is the logistics department so outrageous?
The preparatory class added five compulsory classes and deleted two cultural classes. As a result, extra classes started on Saturdays, so they could barely make up for it.
If there are more than a dozen logistics departments, it will be impossible to keep up no matter how hard you think.
"It's not everyone, it's me... The chef added one book and a small lesson, the gardener added four books and two small lessons, and the advanced combat class added one small lesson and two books... .....”
Lu Pingan counted them one by one with his fingers. It seemed that it was another mistake he made when he was young.
Times have changed, young man, you need to make up lessons again!
