Mobile Shelter
Chapter 255 Explosion Profits and Changing Residence
Although Dong Qi believed that using the electromagnetic cannon would definitely kill the giant White Walker, compared to the electromagnetic cannon which could only fire twice, the laser cannon was far superior in terms of both continuous attack duration and attack range, except that it was slightly weaker in terms of firepower.
Although giant White Walkers are much stronger than ordinary White Walkers, Dong Qi knew that during the war, there were just as many giant White Walkers on the battlefield.
If we compare them using the monster tiers in the game, ordinary White Walkers are common monsters that can be found everywhere in the game, while giant White Walkers are elite monsters.
Although the number of elite monsters is far less than that of ordinary monsters, elite monsters are still ubiquitous whenever monster sieges occur in the game.
That's why Dong Qi wanted to test whether the laser cannon could directly deal with the giant White Walker.
After all, when the actual war begins, laser cannons will serve as supplementary firepower during the intervals between electromagnetic cannon attacks.
Compared to ordinary White Walkers, giant White Walkers far surpass them in both size and defense.
However, when faced with the laser cannon attack, the giant White Walker's head lasted for less than ten seconds before being pierced by the laser.
Seeing this scene, Dong Qi's initial apprehension instantly subsided.
Since the laser cannon can kill the giant ghoul, Dong Qi will now have a means to amass a large amount of contribution points during the actual war.
Having confirmed the laser cannon's attack power, Dong Qi decided not to venture any further, even though the Starfire Flying Boat could still move freely around here.
However, the daily contribution points gained from killing White Walkers have now reached their limit. Even if Dong Qi kills more White Walkers, he will not be able to gain any more contribution points.
Even if he continues to explore further, Dong Qi can still receive rewards based on the videos recorded by the recording device.
However, since this was only the first exploration, Dong Qi did not know how much contribution he could actually make, so he decided to go back and see for the time being.
Compared to the slow advance on the way there, the speed of the Starfire Flying Boat was significantly increased on the return trip.
Furthermore, because they were reckless on their return journey, whenever they encountered White Walkers blocking their way, the Starfire Ships did not dodge or avoid them at all, but instead charged straight through and crushed them.
However, because the Starfire Flying Boat remained suspended, it did not cause secondary crushing damage to the ghouls that had been knocked to the ground.
This patrol mission took Dong Qi a whole day.
Although Dong Qi spent a day on patrol, under normal circumstances, even patrolling the safest direction in the south of the city (where the human defense line is located) would take three to five days.
This time, Dong Qi was patrolling the northern defense line (the direction where the ghouls appeared). Under normal circumstances, even if they only checked in at the minimum of five locations, it would take an ordinary team about five to ten days.
However, compared to the relatively safe southern patrol line, you can gain contribution points by killing ghouls while patrolling the northern patrol line.
Although the daily limit for gaining contribution points from killing ghouls seems to be 100 points per person, in reality, almost no team that accepts patrol missions can reach this limit.
Don't be fooled by how easily Dong Qi killed so many ghouls and filled the maximum contribution limit. In the entire fortress, only a very few people can achieve the maximum contribution points by killing ghouls like Dong Qi.
Although the ghouls were no match for Dong Qi, they possessed extremely strong defensive capabilities against most ordinary people. Even if a regular firearm aimed at the head, it would take multiple bullets to kill them.
However, ghouls never appear alone; they always appear in groups. Groups of a few appearing in single digits are extremely rare, and most of the time, dozens or even hundreds of them appear at the same time.
This is why each battle results in a huge consumption of ammunition.
You only get one contribution point for every ten ghouls killed. If you rely solely on firearms to hunt ghouls, the contribution points you get from hunting ghouls probably won't even cover the contribution points you spend on buying weapons and ammunition.
As for the daily limit on contribution points for hunting ghouls, this is to limit special groups like Dong Qi who can quickly kill large numbers of ghouls.
Therefore, don't think that just because Dong Qi made so many contributions during his patrols, it's easy to make contributions at the front-line fortress.
Under normal circumstances, an ordinary person can only obtain about four thousand contribution points per month at the front line fortress, but after deducting miscellaneous expenses, they can only accumulate about a thousand contribution points per month.
It looks similar to working in the city, but in reality, the contribution is much higher than the cash exchange rate in the rear urban areas.
This is similar to working abroad during peacetime. Although the wages earned are not much different from the local cost of living, the foreign currency accumulated can become a large fortune after being exchanged for the local currency.
Of course, this salary is not appropriate for working in such a dangerous place, but during wartime when life is truly at stake, as long as one survives the war, one can usually receive substantial compensation.
If one can make some contributions or take some outstanding actions during this period, one can be guaranteed a stable and prosperous job for the rest of one's life.
Therefore, despite the extreme danger of the frontier fortress, there is still a steady stream of ordinary people who want to go there to work.
However, the purpose of building the forward fortress was to delay the White Walker army's attack during the war, so ordinary people could only play a supporting role here at most.
What truly ensures the fortresses remain standing during wartime are professional soldiers, special groups, or time travelers like Dong Qi.
When Dong Qi returned to the mission hall to hand in his mission, the receptionist's expression changed drastically upon seeing Dong Qi's mission record.
He had worked here for several years and had never seen anyone complete a patrol mission in a single day.
Even on the safest patrol route in the south, which had the fewest checkpoints, the mission still took more than two days to complete at the fastest speed.
Dong Qi chose the most dangerous northern patrol route, and not only did he complete the check-in task at all nine checkpoints, but he also went further into the area where the White Walkers were located.
These are not the most important things. Although this situation is extremely rare during northern patrol missions, it still occurs a few times a month.
What he found most unbelievable was that Dong Qi had only spent one day on such an in-depth patrol mission.
This means that Dong Qi only spent less than twelve hours from receiving the task to completing it.
It was precisely this terrifyingly efficient task completion that made the clerk feel incredulous.
But no matter how the clerk checked, even the footage captured in real time by the recording device played at an accelerated speed, it could perfectly prove that Dong Qi completed the task in full accordance with the rules.
But the patrol mission was completed in such a short time that he found it hard to believe.
Even though he didn't quite trust Dong Qi, he still followed the rules and regulations and paid Dong Qi the reward for the patrol mission.
The contribution points for checking in at each checkpoint are 10, 20, and 40 points respectively, and so on. Under normal circumstances, you can get a basic reward of 640 points by completing a patrol of at least five checkpoints.
But going forward, the rewards will double for each additional checkpoint.
If you complete the patrol of nine checkpoints like Dong Qi, the check-in reward for the ninth checkpoint is 5120 points. Adding the total check-in reward of 5120 points from all the previous checkpoints, you can get a total of 10240 contribution points.
In addition to the 2,000 contribution points from the outward exploration reward and the 100 contribution points from killing the White Walkers, Dong Qi earned a total of 12340 contribution points from this patrol mission.
In less than twelve hours, more than 10,000 contribution points were gained. It was precisely because of this terrifying efficiency in gaining contribution points that the office staff felt there was something wrong.
Therefore, after Dong Qi finished collecting his contribution points and left the mission hall, the staff immediately reported the situation.
The recording device that Dong Qi handed over was immediately transferred to his superiors for further verification.
Dong Qi didn't know much about what happened afterward. After leaving the mission hall, he looked at the more than 10,000 contribution points on his resident card, but he didn't immediately spend them lavishly, nor did he pay off his previous debts.
Instead, they kept in mind Wang Jianguo's original advice and temporarily followed the new employee procedure.
After all, including today, this is only the second day that Dong Qi has arrived at the front-line fortress.
After having a free dinner at the communal canteen that evening, Dong Qi was preparing to go to Lu Ziye's room to find out about the others.
But before Dong Qi could even reach Lu Ziye's room, he suddenly realized that Lu Ziye seemed to be preparing to establish a battle group, while he had applied for an honorary military rank. The two had chosen different directions, and neither could offer the other better advice, so they could only exchange information.
With that thought in mind, Dong Qi turned around and went back to his room.
The one-bedroom apartment had only simple furniture. In the past, when people were traveling, being able to rest in such a peaceful environment would be a dream come true for most.
But when Dong Qi learned about the place, that it had computers and a living environment almost identical to that of peacetime, he suddenly felt a bit bored staying in the room.
Meanwhile, the Starfire Flying Boat had already been retrieved into Dong Qi's sea of consciousness, so it was temporarily unable to enter the farm space to play with the three women.
It is said that Bai Zhi and Bai Rui have been in the farm space for quite some time now, and it is unknown how well Suzuki Masako has trained these twin sisters.
Even though Dong Qi could manipulate the farm space while the Starfire Flying Boat was in his sea of consciousness, he could only perform simple, basic operations.
When Dong Qi discovered that the intelligent hub could completely replace him in completing the basic tasks of planting, feeding, pest control, and harvesting, he handed this task over to Suzuki Masako.
Unlike Dong Qi, who could instantly complete various tasks while staying in the farm space, Suzuki Masako, who could do so as easily as playing a game, was not able to do so.
After the Starfire Flying Boat is equipped with the intelligent central module, the intelligent central module can replace Dong Qi in performing these tasks.
However, the intelligent central control can only mechanically complete repetitive tasks according to Dong Qi's settings.
Therefore, Dong Qicai will grant Suzuki Masako additional permission to handle various miscellaneous matters in the farm space through the smart hub.
Feeling a bit bored, Dong Qi didn't stay in his room for long. He decided to go out for a walk and check out the nightlife in the forward fortress.
After Dong Qi left the dormitory, he discovered that even at night, the entire fortress was still brightly lit and bustling with people, like a city that never sleeps.
Everywhere you look on the street, you see pedestrians with genuine smiles on their faces.
If it weren't for the White Walkers' interference, this place would truly be a paradise on earth that everyone envies.
After wandering around for so long, Dong Qi finally realized that the resident card he had previously obtained was actually equivalent to a universal card in the frontier fortress.
Whether it's paying or verifying identity, all you need to do is swipe your card; there are no other complicated procedures required.
From buying various snacks at the night market to changing rental housing, you basically only need to show your ID card.
