Mobile Shelter

After Wang Jianguo left, the others turned their attention to Lu Ziye, the team leader.

Lu Ziye looked around and saw that all the members of the convoy were looking at him. After thinking for a moment, he said, "We've settled down for now."

Next, as Wang Jianguo instructed, we went to apply for resident cards, and then we went to choose rooms together.

After all, we're all new here, and if we can't leave soon, we'll probably have to stay here for a long time.

Therefore, in order to avoid being bullied by those old people, it's best for us to stick together in the early stages. As for the later stages...

Ha ha.

Everyone has their own destiny. You should know me and the culture of our team. I won't force anything.

Okay, let me explain it more clearly.

When I say "sticking together," I mean purely group action. Unlike some organizations that use various excuses to ask you to hand over a portion of your contribution points, all participants in mutual aid activities are completely voluntary and there is no coercion.

But you must understand one thing: only by uniting can we avoid being bullied by certain people.

After you receive your identity cards and choose your rooms to settle in, it would be best if you came here to register your specific accommodation information.

This place is unlike any of the secret realms we've entered before. Since arriving here, we haven't yet found a way to leave.

Therefore, in the time to come, we not only need to quickly familiarize ourselves with the rhythm of life in this fortress, but also need to find a way to return to Earth.

Although the survival situation on Earth is not optimistic, don't forget that we all started to gradually upgrade and become stronger because we received the gifts of Earth's original will.

Leaving Earth for a short period of time like we do is not a big deal, but if we leave Earth for a long period of time, our bodies will definitely start to develop some unpredictable problems.

You ordinary people may not be aware of this, but we awakened beings with special abilities all know about it. Just like back on Earth, no matter where we were, we could vaguely sense the direction of the safe zone.

Therefore, don't take any chances. Of course, as I said before, I will not force you to make a choice.

Alright, enough said. It's not just annoying for you guys, I find it troublesome too. After you get your ID cards and choose your rooms, come register with me, and then you're free to move around.

Of course, this is not mandatory, but if you don't register, and something unexpected happens, I can't blame you because I don't have your contact information and can't reach you.

To be honest, apart from the few official team members around me, there aren't many people among you that I know well.

Therefore, if you haven't registered with me, and something happens in the future where you're missed in the notification process, don't come crying to me with regret because you weren't registered.

Although Lu Ziye outwardly said he didn't care, his words implied that even after arriving here, they would still need to follow his orders.

However, compared to some people who are greedy for wealth and power, Lu Ziye did not want to use this to amass wealth, but only wanted to temporarily win over people's hearts.

After all, the old saying "a person is cheap when they leave their hometown" has never been wrong, whether now or in the past. Therefore, in order to avoid being bullied by others, it is best for these newcomers to stick together in the early stages.

Lu Ziye didn't think about how long this mutual assistance method could last. As long as he could get through the early stages smoothly, to be honest, those ordinary people might not only be difficult for him to become the main force, but might even become a burden.

Dong Qi didn't pay much attention to Lu Ziye's behavior. After he finished speaking, everyone went to the second floor of the building to complete the procedures, as Wang Jianguo had mentioned earlier.

This place is just like the original office space on Blue Star, although everything is handled in accordance with regulations.

However, if you are not familiar with the rules, many things that seem very simple to insiders can be very troublesome for those who do not understand the intricacies.

Fortunately, neither Lu Ziye nor Dong Qi, the other official members, lacked the necessary supplies.

Because most people chose to park their vehicles in a fully enclosed parking lot, not only were everyone carrying large bags, but half of the people were also assigned to guard the supplies outside. After these people completed all the formalities, others would come over to handle the rest.

With the example set by the official members, the process of handling the formalities for the others went very smoothly. Of course, this had nothing to do with Lu Ziye forgetting a package every time he went through the various procedures.

Perhaps this situation has become an unspoken rule, because when they apply for contribution recorders, the people in charge of processing those procedures become much more efficient for some reason.

Only then did a "kind" staff member inform him of the specific room for applying to contribute the recorder. Of course, when Lu Ziye left, he still accidentally "forgot" a package.

To be honest, even on Earth, the lack of supplies is a very common problem during migrations.

But as the saying goes, the more critical the moment, the more severe the polarization becomes.

While food and grain might be lacking, awakened individuals like Dong Qi and Lu Ziye certainly don't lack snacks or other non-staple foods.

With these things paving the way, they actually managed to get quite a few benefits for newcomers.

If those who are unaware of the situation only get an ID card here and then leave...

When the entire Chengfeng team, which had been paving the way with research on sugar tea, left, they not only obtained basic identification cards but also received many newcomer benefits.

To be honest, these new employee benefits are supposed to be distributed to new employees in accordance with regulations. Even if the new employees do not claim them, these things will not end up in their hands.

Don't forget this is a forward outpost. If you deliberately make things difficult for others and it gets discovered that they hate you, who knows if you might be attacked on your way home from get off work.

If one dies on the spot, that's fine, but if one is left half-dead and disabled, what a miserable life they will face next.

But if they don't make things difficult for the newcomers, how can they assert their power and gain benefits?

That's why there are cases of deliberately concealing newbie benefits; of course, they wouldn't do something so thankless.

After all the newlyweds have completed the formalities and left, "scalpers" will appear at the entrance to help them apply for related benefits and extract some benefits from them.

Such behavior could not be concealed from the fortress's higher-ups over time; however, those people were very discreet in their actions and kept it a small-scale affair without causing a major disturbance.

Furthermore, this is a forward fortress, and many visitors from other worlds like the Wind Chaser team, as long as they don't perish or return, can obtain benefits here that far exceed anyone's imagination.

In just one day, the members of the Wind Chaser team were basically settled in.

Because his sea of ​​consciousness was still growing rapidly at this stage, Dong Qi did not do anything out of line, and did not even summon the Starfire Flying Boat to enter the farm.

After Lu Ziye finished registering everyone in the Chengfeng team, he invited all the official members of the Chengfeng team to a private meeting the next day.

Seeing that everyone had arrived without anyone missing, Lu Ziye finally spoke: "Now that everyone has settled in, I won't waste any more words."

Over the next week, everyone should try to learn as much as possible about the fortress, whether it's good or bad; the more you know, the better.

We'll have another meeting here in a week, where everyone can share the information they've gathered. After all, one person's wisdom is limited, but the collective wisdom is superior.

After Lu Ziye finished speaking, since everyone was new to the place, no one offered any opinions, and the meeting ended hastily.

After the meeting was adjourned, Dong Qi immediately went to the building where the mission was released.

On the way, when he heard someone refer to the place as the Mission Guild, Dong Qi simply followed suit and remembered the name.

Upon entering the guild, the first thing Dong Qi saw was not the constantly scrolling list of tasks on the guild's monitor.

Instead, he went to the self-service area on the union side, inserted his ID card into the card slot, and only then could the computer in front of him be used normally.

Although Dong Qi has not made any contribution yet, as mentioned before, newcomers here come with a 100-point interest-free loan limit in their identity card.

As I said before, there are benefits for new users, but none of them are free; they are all three-month interest-free loan limits.

Perhaps because there are often newcomers here, a detailed user guide appears after the computer is turned on.

After learning all the functions on the computer, the first thing Dong Qi opened was not the task query interface, but the contribution point exchange interface.

The moment Dong Qi entered, the most eye-catching item he saw for redemption sent a shiver down his spine.

Then, when Dong Qi saw the contribution points required to exchange for that item, his eyes widened instantly.

Path of Return (1 Contribution): Can send the traveler back to their original plane.

Dong Qi never expected that the way back, which he had thought would be difficult to find, would appear so easily in front of him.

And seeing that it only requires a little contribution, Dong Qi didn't believe that this matter would be so simple. After all, not to mention anything else, the daily parking fee in the parking lot is as high as three points.

Sending people back to their original plane of existence only requires paying a small amount of contribution points—no one would believe that, no matter who you tell it.

After calming himself down a bit, Dong Qi then carefully reviewed the specific exchange rules.

After Dong Qi learned about the specific exchange restrictions, he actually relaxed a lot.

Perhaps it's human nature to be base; when faced with unexpected wealth that comes easily, we instinctively feel there must be some kind of restriction involved.

However, once you understand the stringent requirements for actual redemption, you will actually increase your trust in the matter.

There are many restrictions on the Path of Return, which requires one contribution point. First of all, the Path of Return is divided into individual application and team application.

There are few restrictions on individual applications; as long as one has obtained the rank of Major General, one can apply directly.

Although these people can also obtain military ranks, they only receive honorary ranks without any actual rights or obligations. However, even though it is an honorary rank, they can still enjoy certain benefits that come with it.

The way to obtain military ranks is very simple: just exchange them by consuming contribution points.

In fact, you could say that the benefits brought by military rank are actually benefits that can be exchanged for the contribution points consumed in upgrading military rank.

However, it is more complicated for a team to apply for the Path of Return. First and foremost, they need to create a team and then use that team to accept and complete tasks.

Secondly, all members of this team must register on the same day on their ID cards; this is strictly enforced.

Secondly, and most importantly, in order to complete the journey of the team, in addition to strict team level restrictions, each additional member in the team will require a corresponding contribution point to complete the journey.

These restrictions are not actually that difficult; as long as we work together, the task is not that hard to complete.

But within this seemingly easy restriction lies a deep pitfall.

That means if you accept a task in the name of the team, all the contribution points will be deposited into the team account, and how to distribute the contribution points depends entirely on the team leader's conscience.

This requirement isn't really anything special. Everyone has worked in private companies before, so with a little adjustment, it's not that different from working in a private company.

The so-called hidden trap is actually the team's returning account. Simply put, what's blocking team returning isn't the team level restriction.

Instead, a portion of the contribution points earned from each completed task needs to be proportionally allocated to this account.

The contribution points consumed in returning to the original plane can only be redeemed using the contribution points in this account.

Compared to the contribution required for an individual's return, although the contribution of a team's return is not much when spread among each person, there are many explicit or implicit restrictions.

More importantly, only individuals who have not joined any team can apply for honorary ranks, while those who have joined a team are ineligible to apply for honorary ranks.

The tasks available to those with and without military rank are not the same, so this method is almost an open secret for those transmigrators who have just arrived and immediately band together.

After learning the details, Dong Qi decisively applied for an honorary military rank.

Taking advantage of being in the newbie benefits period, Dong Qi once again obtained the rank of private with an interest-free loan, with the repayment date still within three months.

Compared to the extremely high uncertainty of a team's return, Dong Qi still feels that an individual return is a more reliable option.

After all, some things are better said than done, and Dong Qi doesn't need to delay his return because of other people's problems.

After all, if one cannot hold both identities simultaneously, returning through personal honorary military rank is more suitable for them.

After gaining a detailed understanding of the return process, I then proceeded to examine the other items in the redemption interface.

Perhaps because of his previous experience, although the things that appeared in the interface next made Dong Qi a little envious, he was not as shocked as before.

After briefly browsing the redemption interface, several items within it held a fatal attraction for Dong Qi.

In particular, most of the things that attracted Dong Qi were standard products, not rare and unique items, which made Dong Qi even more eager to gain contribution points as soon as possible.

What Dong Qi valued most were the standard mechanical wolves.
