Apocalypse: I Can See the Health Bar, Kill Monsters and Drop Treasures Chapter 304

Chapter 304: Room allocation and money giving

 “Hello, Secretary Cui!”

Wang Tao shook hands with Cui Sheng.

“I have heard of your name, Mr. Wang, before, and I have always wanted to come and visit you, but I have been delayed because of many things to do. Please don't blame me, Mr. Wang. I finally got to see you in person today!”

Cui Sheng had a bright smile on his face.

 “Oh? Have you heard of me?”

“Of course! Mr. Wang is a famous awakener! I have already heard it like thunder!”

 Cui Sheng showed a hint of pride on his face. It seems that knowing Wang Tao's name is something to be proud of.

This is the first time for Wang Tao to be flattered like this, and he is still a bit unaccustomed to it.

 “Ahem, then what are you...”

“Oh, sorry, sorry! I was so excited when I saw you... My name is Cui Sheng, and I am the secretary of the Municipal Office. I am here on behalf of the City Hall..."

 Cui Sheng explained quickly.

Wang Tao suddenly understood.

The City Hall is the highest administrative agency in Changhe Base City. All matters within the entire base are basically the responsibility of the City Hall.

 The city hall is equivalent to the former government office and represents the entire Changhe base city.

 Cui Sheng came on behalf of the city hall, which is equivalent to the official of the entire Changhe base city.

“Secretary Cui, Captain Duan, please come in!”

 “Hey! Please come too!”

Wang Tao led the group in.

There were three other people who came with Cui Sheng. They looked like his followers. Seeing that Cui Sheng didn't introduce them, Wang Tao didn't ask any more questions.

After Cui Sheng saw so many beauties around Wang Tao, he just took a quick glance at the looks of these women, remembered them firmly in his heart, and then immediately turned his head and stopped looking at them.

 As for the grown men like Wei Zhenguo, Cui Sheng greeted them very politely and cordially.

But when he saw the lightning, Cui Sheng was startled.

Duan Xuchang didn't tell him that there was such a big mutant beast here! This military dog ​​is so big, it must be the third level!

A trace of envy flashed in Cui Sheng's eyes.

Wang Tao glanced at Cui Sheng calmly.

  【HP: 1000/1000】

  【Impurities in the body: 5%】

 Cui Sheng turned out to be an ordinary person who was not even a first-level person, which surprised Wang Tao.

 Can't afford a crystal core? What is the position of the city hall secretary? Why doesn't it feel good?

 But there are 5% impurities in his body, indicating that he has probably fused 10 crystal nuclei.

  10 crystal nuclei failed to become an awakened one?

I can only say that either the crystal core is too rubbish, or he is too unlucky. Of course, it could be both.

"thanks, thanks!"

After inviting Cui Sheng to sit down, Nie Siyan immediately went to pour water. Cui Sheng thanked her quickly, then took out a tablet and a pen and handed them to Wang Tao very politely.

“Mr. Wang, I am here to register your identity this time. Please fill it out. Only when you are registered in the system can you be considered a formal member of the base city..."

Wang Tao took the tablet and there was a form on it.

 The content of the form is very simple, without so many bells and whistles, just things like name, age, gender, expertise, and level of superpower.

 It's just a simple personnel registration, there's no need for him as a secretary to make a trip, right? Wang Tao felt that he must have another purpose.

As expected, when Wang Tao was filling in the form, Cui Sheng said again:

“After Mr. Wang came to our Changhe base city, do you have any ideas or demands? As you know, our base respects talents very much..."

Wang Tao raised his eyebrows, then smiled and said:

“I just came here and I'm not very familiar with it. Why don't you introduce me?”

"certainly!"

Cui Sheng nodded immediately, and then immediately started to explain.

“Based on our past experience, after these powerful superpowers came to our base…”

 Cui Sheng, or the city hall, feels that when Wang Tao, a fourth-level superpower user, and a group of third-level superpower users come to Changhe Base City, they will most likely not be willing to live peacefully as ordinary people. But it's not entirely impossible, there have been cases before.

Cui Sheng came here just to make some insinuations about Wang Tao's thoughts.

If Wang Tao and his group really want to live like ordinary people... then he will definitely find a way to dissuade them! After all, this is a fourth-level superpower! With such strong strength, it would be a waste to be willing to become an ordinary person! You have to play some role and contribute something to the base!

Of course, the base will not use its labor force for free and will also provide many benefits.

Cui Sheng said that after those foreign powers came to the base city, they basically chose three development directions.

 The first one is to join a legion, join other fighting forces or form an organization yourself. Choose this one the most.

 The second one is to apply for some base official positions, which can be simply understood as "base civil servants". The second largest number of people chose this.

 The third one is to run some profitable places, do business, etc. in the base city... This is the least choice. After all, this requires a certain amount of talent, and you can't do this without any brains.

However, these three development directions have one thing in common that needs to be taken into account, that is, improving one's own strength!

 In the last days, strength is the foundation of everything! If there is no strength, everything is just a castle in the air and fleeting.

 So you must improve your own strength!

Cui Sheng wanted to know where Wang Tao was going to develop, and then the city hall could provide Wang Tao with some preferential treatment.

 Of course, there are not only these three development directions, but also other niche directions. Moreover, these three directions are not independent. As long as you have the ability, you can proceed at the same time. For example, some powerful superpowers not only form teams outside to hunt zombies, but also have part-time jobs in the city hall...

 For this question, Wang Tao will definitely go out to hunt zombies, but it is impossible for him to join the legion. So the only option is to join other forces or form an organization yourself.

So Wang Tao thought for a while and said:

 “Let's set up a small organization of our own.”

  Cui Sheng was not surprised by this answer. Most people with superpowers make this choice, preferring to be the head of a chicken rather than the tail of a phoenix.

“Then when you go back to set up an organization, please be sure to notify me and I will help you with all the procedures!”

Cui Sheng immediately patted his chest and said.

 “Okay, then I'll trouble you.”

Wang Tao smiled and nodded. Since others are willing to help, he will definitely not refuse. And what Cui Sheng meant, the city hall would obviously give him some benefits.

 “No trouble, no trouble!”

Cui Sheng waved his hands repeatedly. After Wang Tao finished filling in, he slid the tablet again.

“The last thing is the residence. Our base city is very big, and all the survivors in the base are given houses for free. You and your friends are no exception. Which place do you want to choose?”

 Displayed on the tablet is a map of Changhe Base. All marked places are available for selection.

 According to the situation in the base, the best location is the central area, and the worst location is naturally the edge.

 There is no mark in the marginal area, which means Wang Tao cannot choose?

As if seeing Wang Tao's doubts, Cui Sheng quickly explained:

"Although our base is very good in all aspects, there are also some mixed-race houses. In order to avoid disturbing you, I have removed some houses that do not fit your identity. The areas marked now are all relatively high-quality neighbors! Of course, This doesn't mean that you can't choose other places, you can choose any place, but I personally don't recommend it…”

 “That's it, it's very considerate!”

I have to say that Cui Sheng is really good at getting things done.

 “Where there!”

Cui Sheng waved his hand quickly. In fact, he was not only thinking about Wang Tao, but also thinking about ordinary people. What if Wang Tao chooses a place with a very bad environment, and some people at the bottom of the class anger Wang Tao without knowing how to do it, then Wang Tao will kill him without even trying to reason...

Wang Tao took a general look. Although the areas closer to the city center are better, the houses are getting smaller and smaller... But after all, it is free, so you can't ask for too much. So Wang Tao chose a compromise place. The house was neither too big nor too small, and it was neither too far nor too close to the city center.

 After Wang Tao was confirmed, Cui Sheng asked Wei Zhenguo and Ding Yuqin to choose.

 “One person, one apartment?”

Wang Tao was a little surprised. He also deliberately chose a small courtyard, thinking that it would be convenient for many people, but ended up with one person per person?

“Of course! You and your companions are eligible for free housing.”

 In fact, normally speaking, Wang Tao can choose at will, but others cannot choose like Wang Tao. After all, there are many third-level superpowers in the base, and these locations are very good. It is still difficult to get these houses for free.

 But who asked them to follow Wang Tao? Wang Tao is an awakener! There are only a few awakened ones in the entire base!

Wang Tao is a good friend set by the city hall. It is best to let Wang Tao hold a position in the base and become his own person completely!

 But it was Cui Sheng's first meeting with Wang Tao after all, so he didn't dare to say too much for fear of arousing Wang Tao's resentment.

 For others, it is definitely a good thing to work at the base, be an official, and get a salary.

But who knows what Wang Tao thinks. Many powerful people are unwilling to be restrained, and their personalities are a bit weird...and people may not be able to see these three things together...

But Cui Sheng did not give up.

 He is just a small secretary. Although he works in the city hall, this is not actually a formal position and is considered a temporary job. There are many people like him, and the competition is fierce!

It is impossible for a person with no power or strength like him to climb up by himself, so he can only think of other ways.

 The arrival of Wang Tao gave him a glimmer of hope...

 “Tsk tsk, this welfare package is quite good!”

Wang Tao smiled and shook his head.

Soon, everyone had finished choosing, and most of them were near the house that Wang Tao chose. Even Lightning has his own set.

“You don't have to make a decision now, you can go and see it on the ground.”

 Cui Sheng reminded me very thoughtfully.

 “No need, I've already seen the photo, that's it.”

Wang Tao waved his hand.

 If the house doesn't work, you can just change it later. It was free stuff anyway and he was too lazy to bother with it.

"good!"

 Cui Sheng clicked to confirm, inputting this information into the main system, and then he took two boxes from the person behind him.

"Mr. Wang, this is a meeting gift prepared by our city hall for you and your friends. Please check it."

 Cui Sheng opened both boxes. Inside the first box were more than ten black cards. Inside the second box were a dozen things that looked like watches.

 There is a note underneath the cards, and there is a long series of numbers on the cards. A bit like a bank card?

"This is a crystal coin storage card, or crystal coin card for short. In fact, it is the former bank card. There are crystal coins stored in it. It can be used on any card swiping machine and information watch in the base. You can also go The bank can exchange crystal cores of equal value. However, due to some changes in the crystal core, the exchange ratio has fluctuated... Of course, you can still use it normally. "

Hello guys, I didn't expect this city hall to be direct enough to send them money directly...

Wang Tao was very surprised, but this was good. After all, he might not be able to use other things, but the crystal coins could definitely be used.

Cui Sheng pointed at his watch again and said:

"This is an information watch, which will record your personal information, account and other data. The information watch is connected to the network in our base and can carry out activities such as communication, information release, and crystal currency transactions. However, the prerequisite is that there is a network. That is to say, it only works within the scope of our base. If you leave the base, you will enter the offline state, and many functions will be restricted. Oh, and the information watch will charge a fixed fee of 10 crystal coins every month..."

After listening to Cui Sheng's explanation, Wang Tao took a look at the information watch. This watch has a rough shape and is a bit silly, but it is very good with these functions.

 Then there is the crystal coin card, which is similar to the previous bank card. Each card has a name and specific information written on it. Even Lightning has a card.

Wang Tao briefly looked at the note. Most people's notes, including Lightning's, had 1,000 crystal coins written on them. Lan Yulian's note said 5,000 crystal coins. Wang Tao's note said 20,000 crystal coins.

Cui Sheng explained from the side:

"According to the standards of our base city, first-level superpower users can get 10 crystal coins as subsidy when joining the base for the first time; second-level superpower users can get 100 crystal coins; third-level superpower users can get 1,000 crystal coins; and fourth-level superpower users can get 1,000 crystal coins. You can get 10,000 crystal coins... If you have other identities, there will be some additional bonuses, such as being the leader of the force, saving many survivors, etc. "

"I see."

Wang Tao nodded.

 The city hall is pretty good in this regard, but I don't know what the purchasing power of 1 crystal coin is.

However, judging from the envious expressions of Cui Sheng and Duan Xuchang next to him, these crystal coins should still be quite valuable.

"Mr. Wang, the things have been delivered, so I won't disturb you. This is my contact information. If you need anything, you can inform me directly. I will be there at any time. As for your residence, since no one has been living there, I We will send someone to clean it inside and out, which may take a day. I will contact you after the cleaning is completed.”

 Cui Sheng handed over a business card with a series of numbers on it. This number is how you can contact me using your watch.

 “Okay, please. Walk slowly.”

Wang Tao stood up.

 “You stay!”

 Duan Xuchang sent Cui Sheng out of the door, then came back and said to Wang Tao:

"As I said, our base is still very generous! The exchange of crystal coins and crystal cores has fluctuated a lot now, and it's hard to say exactly. If we look at the previous exchange rate, 10,000 crystal coins can be exchanged for two or three level four coins. Crystal core!”

Wang Tao was a little surprised. The purchasing power of this crystal coin was higher than he imagined!

Their group, including Lightning, was 17 people in total. 15 of them received 1,000 crystal coins, Lan Yulian received 5,000 crystal coins, and he received 20,000 crystal coins. This adds up to a total of 40,000 gold coins. So this is equivalent to about 10 fourth-order crystal nuclei?

 “Really generous!”

Wang Tao smiled and nodded.

He planned to go back and see if these crystal coins could be exchanged for fourth-order crystal cores. He was still short of fourth-order crystal cores. It would be nice if I could exchange it for a fourth-order crystal core, but it seems unlikely. If I have this thing and use it myself, I guess no one will take it out...

"By the way, this Cui Sheng is a secretary in the city hall. Although the benefits are pretty good, he is not a formal employee. He must still want to continue to climb up. If he can serve you well, he will let you go to the city hall. If he holds an official position, he will gain great benefits..."

 “No wonder…”

Wang Tao asked why this person had such a low profile. He really wanted something!

"In fact, I personally suggest that you go to the city hall to take a position, or you can take a job. If nothing else, at least you can get an extra salary and make some contributions to the base, haha! Of course, that's not to say You can take up a position as soon as you join the base, but it still takes some time to assess..."

 “Okay, I'll think about it.”

Wang Tao was afraid of trouble, but after all, this was Duan Xuchang's good intention.

It is already noon, Wang Tao left Duan Xuchang to have a meal here. Duan Xuchang didn't refuse either.

 After he completed the mission of rescuing the Redbud base, he had a long vacation that he could arrange as he pleased. While he was entertaining Wang Tao these days, he could also relax and unwind.

 After dinner, Duan Xuchang called a minibus and took Wang Tao and his group for a walk around the area.

Having money in hand, Wang Tao originally planned to spend some money, but after looking around, he felt that there was nothing good and nothing worth spending money on.

“There are a lot of things for sale in the center of the base, even power armor. But it's too expensive...”

 Duan Xuchang explained to Wang Tao.

Wang Tao's eyes lit up, and he was about to ask Duan Xuchang where he could buy powered armor. After Cui Sheng cleaned the house there, when he moved there, he stopped by the city center to see if he could get a set of power armor to research!

The group of people wandered outside all afternoon. Duan Xuchang was going to have dinner and then take Wang Tao out for a walk. After all, Changhe Base has nightlife, which is quite rich.

 But suddenly there was news contacting Duan Xuchang, it seemed to be an urgent matter.

 “Sorry, I have something to do and I have to leave first.”

 “It's okay, just get busy.”

 After Wang Tao sent Duan Xuchang away, he looked at the crowd and said:

 “After dinner, let's go out for a walk by ourselves? I heard there are some exciting performances here...”

"OK!"

 Everyone nodded.

 They haven't been this relaxed for a long time.

 After dinner, several people came to the street and prepared to follow Wang Tao to watch Chuanjin's performance.

At this time, several people saw a patch of red appearing in the dark sky in the distance.

"what is that?"
