LRAB Chapter 31 Common Sense
Chapter 31 Common Sense
The air in the conference room fell silent for a moment.
Without keeping them in suspense any longer, He west said, "First of all, there's the resource quota. Since most of our missions are related to the isolation zone, there are certain requirements for our own strength."
"Therefore, the government provides support in terms of resource purchase eligibility. Each member of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs can purchase valuable materials within different limits, depending on their level, such as laser weapons, biochemical plugins, and lures, which are scarce goods from the giant city."
He paused for a moment, then sighed, "It was also a case of bad timing. When the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was first established, there was no quota system yet."
"Resources that are expensive but unavailable outside can be purchased internally by using the identity of a member of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and then resold outside. After doing this several times, you can achieve financial freedom. Unfortunately, I was a little slow at the time and did not make much money."
There was a hint of regret in his eyes.
Everyone: ?
"It's still available for sale now, but there's a limit per person. I even know that most of you are here for this."
He Xi smiled, unconcerned about the stares of the crowd, and continued, "As for obtaining the status of a resident of the giant city, many people may not be aware of this. In fact, as long as you meet the strength requirements, they will take the initiative to send you an invitation, and the fastest way to become stronger is right here."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Yang looked to the side and nudged Ron with his hand.
The latter frowned: "What are you doing?"
"Did you... come to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to regain your status in the Giant City?"
"No, I've already run away, why would I go back? I came here... I came here for an adventure." Ron was almost ashamed to utter those three words, and quickly followed up with, "Do you know the city of Taminis?"
"what?"
This was an unfamiliar term, and Xu Yang paused for a moment, then asked, "What is that?"
"It's a place, I heard it's in the Black Mountain area, that's why I came here. Don't even the locals know about it?"
……
bang bang.
On the podium, He west tapped the table in front of him. "Quiet down, everyone. I've said what I needed to say. No matter what your purpose is, whether you're just coasting on subsidies, trying to make money by reselling resources, or simply pursuing a career, nobody cares."
Then, he took out a machine that looked like a black POS machine from under the table and slammed it on the table.
"Anyway, once you decide to join, just come over and swipe your card to register your information."
There are no barriers to entry; anyone can join this unique and bloated organization.
……
As the sound of scattered footsteps arose, fresh blood flowed into the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Xu Yang naturally joined in as well.
On the one hand, he does need a job to support himself, and on the other hand, increasing his strength is part of his future plans.
Survival requires strength, that's what all his experiences so far have taught him.
Moreover, the job offers enough freedom, and you can choose the level of difficulty.
We can't ask for more.
……
The lobby on the first floor of the building.
The front area has tables and benches for people to rest, and a bar is located slightly behind. In the middle area and along the walls, there are many silver display stands that are about half a person's height.
A series of holographic projections floated above it, displaying various bounty missions: escorting caravans, capturing monsters, participating in drug experiments, and even offering the price of someone's head...
In short, you can see all kinds of task assignments, both reasonable and unreasonable, here.
……
The overall impression of the lobby is like that of an adventurers' guild in some fantasy world.
The task information written on paper was simply turned into a bunch of holographic projections, and occasionally a task that should have been posted on the dark web could be found.
This is perhaps a characteristic of the gathering place...
At this moment, Xu Yang stood beside a mission display stand in the hall, gesturing with his hand, and various missions appeared before him—
[Number: 751]
[Type: Survey]
[Description: At Gathering Point Three, Qingting Clinic at No. 21 Central Avenue, Dr. Anya is inquiring about Li Yu (Night of the Heart), a cyborg who went to the ruins of Huanxing City in the year 20739 of the Federal Calendar (27 years ago), and is looking for information about whether he is alive or dead.]
[Amount: 2780980 Contribution Points]
[Time Limit: Unlimited]
Contact Person: Anya
……
The reward amount suddenly jumped, and the prize pool was accumulating, changing from 2780980 to 2786980 contribution points.
Xu Yang's eyes twitched as well.
Could this strange number be the doctor's entire fortune? Li Yu, the cyborg—is the part in parentheses one of his titles? And Huanxing City—is it a giant city?
I only glanced at a task posted by someone I knew, and it felt like a whole host of problems were coming my way.
He sighed and nudged the person next to him with his elbow.
"What now?" Ron turned his head; he was looking at missions on another mission display stand.
What is Huanxing City?
"..."
Ron choked for a moment, then looked at Xu Yang's expression repeatedly. It didn't seem fake; he genuinely seemed to know nothing.
He asked with some surprise, "You...you're not some kind of pre-made being that grows up in a year, are you? Isn't that common sense?"
"..."
"Just pretend I'm the one who made it, tell me already."
"Uh, okay, um... Ring City was a great attempt by humanity to end the Great Cataclysm, that's a direct quote from the textbook."
He blinked and continued to recall in his mind: "During the shelter period, after the various refugee centers were disbanded, or maybe on the eve of their disbandment, I've forgotten a bit, but anyway, during that period, scientists found a way to end the catastrophe."
Xu Yang blinked, his expression gradually becoming strange. Shelter, refugee center, the end…
This seems a bit like the new home mentioned in the vault computer...?
In fact, after meeting Lily, he subconsciously thought that the settlement was humanity's new home, but this idea seems to be wrong.
Ron continued, "Then, with the support of the Federation, a giant ring-like city was built around this Earth Origin Star beneath our feet. This was Ring Star City, until 27 years ago, when it suddenly crashed for some reason."
"Um, Ron, doesn't this Ring City have another name, like 'Humanity's New Home'?"
Ron nodded, somewhat surprised, and said, "You know about this? It's a very old name. It was indeed the slogan used when Ring Star City was first established."
"..."
Xu Yang took a deep breath and asked again, "How did it fall?"
"I don't know, I wasn't even born yet."
"Uh, okay, then you can continue with the mission." Xu Yang frowned, his mind a bit of a mess.
Perhaps I should find some time to go to the library? At least to brush up on some basic knowledge about this world.
He shook his head, temporarily suppressing his thoughts, and continued flipping through the tasks. For a moment, his fingers paused:
[Number: 1752]

Contact Person: Xu Dong
……
The diversity of tasks.
Xu Yang's lips twitched; he was at a loss for words.
This might be some kind of love triangle, and he has no choice but to painfully give up this seemingly easy task.
Suddenly, Ron patted him on the shoulder: "Look at this mission."
