Chapter 12: Technology Union

Ten minutes later, Su Jing and Gai Qi sat in Moxi's tavern. Gai Qi declared that Su Jing had seriously hurt her soul, so Su Jing was responsible for treating her to dessert.

The most famous restaurant in the shelter is Moxi's bar. Although it is a bar, the catering service is also available. Su Jing ordered a cocktail, and Gaiqi wanted it, but Moxi said she would not sell it to minors.

"I killed more than one group of robbers and lunatics with my own hands, but I couldn't drink alcohol?"

"Baby Gaiqi, you are only seventeen years old, not the age to drink." The coquettish proprietress held her purple bowler hat. "My disobedient daughter has been drinking since she was a child in the tribe. She is now squatting alone in the desert to run a car repair shop, weighing more than 300 kilograms, throwing eight consecutive boyfriends who tried to escape her into the press - do you want to be like her?"

Finally, Gaiqi returned to her seat with a milkshake.

"Okay, where did I talk about in the last chapter... Forget it, that doesn't matter." Gaiqi said while digging out milkshakes, "I seem to be talking about...technology and technology, right?"

The brunette girl chewed the milkshake and said, "The first game of heaven was a very cruel. Squads would throw people into different high-risk worlds every ten days, fucking people half dead, and then... choose the strongest one? Probably, I don't know what the World Center wants to do. Then, the strongest people at the beginning began to pave the way for the later generations and signed an agreement with the World Center. They helped the World Center maintain the social order in the Heavenly Kingdom game. Then those people gradually formed their own forces based on their respective abilities and specialties, constantly expanding their territory, and transforming the worlds suitable for living and operating into base-type worlds. So, the previous light balls were abandoned and changed into such a society like the main city. However, the initial compulsory task system did not change much. Every month, you adventurers would still be teleported to the adventure world to fight to death..."

"You said before... This is a sub-base of the Technology Union? Is the Technology Union one of those forces?"

Su Jing took a sip of the sweet and salty cocktail, and the smell of alcohol was so pungent that he shrank his eyebrows.

"Yes, the technology alliance is very powerful. It is said that they have five members of the board of directors, all of whom are over ten stars at the level of gods and demons. Compared with the two or three stars like me... Alas, I really want me to become so powerful one day..." Gai Qi swallowed a mouthful of milkshake, pushed the cup aside and leaned on the table and sighed.

According to Gai Qi's introduction, the level of adventurers is determined by the number of stars. Rather, one star to three stars are all single-player-level forces, called bronze level; while four star to six stars all have military-level power, called silver level; while seven to nine stars are the levels that can shake the entire continent, called gold level; while strong people with more than ten stars to twelve stars are called... god and demon level in awe.

"As long as you travel more in the world, you will always become stronger..." Su Jing said disrespectfully.

"Are you as easy as we indigenous people like you selected? You are born adventurers in the dimension and have their own character cards. I worked hard to do odd jobs for technology. Looking at the face of the female octopus, I just wanted to save enough points and exchange for a three-star blank character card and carve yourself on it, so that I can use the center of the world to take risks in other universes!"

It turns out that the indigenous people in various adventure worlds still have to pass this level before they can officially become players in the Heavenly Kingdom game... Su Jing thought silently, no wonder there are no plot characters running around everywhere. After all, the characters in the story are much better than those of us mortals...

"What's the difference between an ordinary blank card and a blank character card?"

"This. Character cards are for characters, and ordinary cards are for props." Gaiqi raised an eyebrow, "Just like us natives, things in the adventure world can only be considered part of the world's center and will be recognized by the center. Otherwise, they can only be used in this universe and cannot be taken out to other dimensions... etc..."

Gai Qi suddenly sat upright with her slender body and whispered: "How can ordinary newcomers know what a blank card is... You... don't have one on you...?"

"Uh... Just a three-star blank prop card..."

"Rich!!!" Gai Qi was so excited that she stretched out her hands and held Su Jing's hand, "Please let me join your team!!"

"Take pain pain pain pain pain - let go - loosen your mechanical prosthesis-!"

"Ahhh, sorry, the power of this left hand is still adjusted in combat..." Gaiqi scratched her head awkwardly, took off the gloves used to cover it, revealing the mechanical prosthesis on her left arm.

Su Jing knew that the young girl in front of her who was sticking out her tongue was not the kind of ordinary person she looked like on the outside. After assembling the "death mechanism" she designed at the age of fifteen, in order to overcome the shortcomings of the signal controller being too large, she cut her left arm with ion saw, and then assembled the controller and mechanical prosthetics together...

This kind of crazy fierce man can only arise in a world full of black humor in the Borderlands, and live like a fish in water here. In the invention competition for high school students, Gaiqi's work "Death Mechanism" lost to the mayor's daughter who walked through the back door. Then Gaiqi, who was too excited, mistakenly operated the "Death Mechanism" and directly split the mayor's daughter in half with one claw. This was forced to escape from that planet and embarked on the road of bounty hunters.

"Look, there is still one month left before your next mission. During this period, I will form a team with you and do some reward tasks together. I can train you to become stronger. Then, the price is that you have to give me the three-star blank prop card, and then my points will be enough to go to the Technology Union to redeem a three-star character card! OK? OK? I can also introduce you to Xiao Tina! It's just to introduce you to you! The next thing depends on your own ability!"

"For a prop card, you even have to sell your comrades! Where is your conscience?! Where is your shame?!"

"KaKaKaKaKaKaKaKaKaKa-" Gaiqi held the milkshake cup and laughed wildly, "There are more people who die in Tina's hands. If you have the life to survive... Uh... I didn't mean that... I didn't mean that I wanted you to die and then want to make a card from you... Huh, why did I let it go!"

During the last five minutes of staying in the bar, Su Jing thought about it for a while and confirmed two things:

The first thing I need most now is to improve my combat ability as quickly as possible before the routine mission comes.

The second thing is that I am completely irresistible and I love the character's request.

This dessert was paid by Gai Qi in the end. In her words, "You adventurers don't understand the preciousness of this kind of thing at all! And we don't have a character card, how can we trade!"

The universal point is the universal equivalent trading currency in the center of the world. In order to trade with people who do not have character cards in the base world, they initially barter and then gradually become points issued by technology jointly with their own credit. This point eventually becomes an intermediary bridge between adventurers and local trade systems.

"First of all, I want to confirm what your abilities are?" Gaiqi took Su Jing to the other side of the street. "There is a free quality test on the branch of the Science and Technology Union. Let's do a test first!"

The branch of the Science and Technology Union is not as high-tech as Su Jing originally thought. This place originally seemed to be a five-story office building, but now it has seven or eight floors on the roof. It looks messy. You can tell at a glance that it has not considered what architectural aesthetics is when it is expanded.

As soon as they entered the building, several office clerks in white robes sat there bored, playing online games using the tablet computer ECHOHUD of the Borderlands World.

"This is...technology alliance?"

"These are all local personnel recruited. Most adventurers go out to hunt or collect materials, and some do research on the above floors." Gaiqi seemed to be very familiar with the situation here, and walked to the test room with familiarity. "Anyone can do quality tests, and there is no need to apply for them, which is very convenient."

The quality test is not what Su Jing thought. For example, if you enter a training ground, you just need to pass through a scanning arch.

"Uh...the ability is...the scientific side and the mysterious side? What exactly did your novice gift pack give?" Selina, an octopus woman who is more familiar with the process of being selected by the adventurer, just returned from shift change and presided over the test for Su Jing. She is now using a mechanical tentacle to control the printer and print out the scan results.

"Actually, this thing is just a little more detailed than the scan at that time when I registered. My physical fitness is average, my optic nerve has been transformed, and I suspect it is a parasitic beast or similar species. My mental quality is... higher than that of ordinary people...soul strength...um?" Selina suddenly stopped, "How could this be...? This is the first time I have seen this waveform...soul type is..."

"Are you twins?" The octopus woman stared at Su Jing with her strange pair of optical glasses. "Your soul wavelength scan shows that your soul is a bit incomplete, and this situation usually occurs in..."

"Can we change the topic?" Su Jing said.

"Uh... OK. In this way, are you interested in joining the Technology Union? Your characteristics are relatively rare. If you agree, sign an agreement now. If you are willing to wait for you to reach the three-star rating, first join our Technology Union, and we will officially absorb you into our membership."

Selina printed out another document.

"If you sign this agreement, we will provide the information and basic materials you need for your initial growth."

Su Jing remembered the [Multi-dimensional Zerg General Database] that can be linked to after the demon hunting insect reaches three stars.

He took the pen and signed his name on the contract.

At the same time, a faint logo with a triangle inside a circle appeared on Su Jing's character card.
