The camp recorder paused, his expression unchanged, "Please read and confirm whether you comply with the "430 Adventurer Agreement" and the "Secretary Agreement". Here is the printout..."
"accept."
"Please show your adventurer badge."
Ash, who was wearing a mask, took out a round badge and swiped it across the glass screen of the inspection equipment. The screen lit up green. The recorder nodded: "The task registration is completed, please come in."
With almost no obstacles, Ash stepped into the Observation Point 53 camp very easily. A thirty-meter-high rough earth wall separated the inside and outside. There was a high tower in the center of the camp, and the dark blue vortex on the top of the tower was Ash.
The goal of this trip: level 2 virtual realm turbulence channel.
All the vegetation in the camp was leveled, and rows of benches were placed. Many adventurers gathered together to chat. They took out the wine bottles they carried with them and chatted about everything. Then they drank a moon candy and twitched all over—
—Drink and eat sweets, and enjoy your life to heaven.
From time to time, someone shouted loudly:
"The flames are coming over here!"
"Gather here the hungry ones!"
"Falga, Falga, has Falga from the coffin-bearing team not arrived yet?"
In addition to these noisy people, there are also many lone wolves like Ash who wear standard cloaks and masks, and look on mysteriously and coldly.
This chaos is the appearance of adventurers in war zones.
When he checked the adventurer's information on the curtain, Ash just wanted to applaud the Blood Moon Kingdom's superb level of exploitation and oppression - because in a social atmosphere of 'human rights, freedom' and 'racial equality', the military expenditures required for the conscription system are too real.
There were too many, so the Blood Moon Kingdom decided not to have an army at all!
The Blood Moon Kingdom disbanded its army 300 years ago and completely converted to a war zone adventurer system.
The so-called adventurer system is that the war zone provides tasks, the adventurers receive and complete the tasks, and then receive rewards from the war zone. The relationship between the war zone and the adventurers is just a trust relationship. Adventurers can come and go freely, and theoretically can indeed share some military functions.
The biggest advantage of the adventurer system is naturally that there is no need to provide training fees, no need to be responsible for logistics, and no need to provide pensions.
Even if the adventurer dies, it has nothing to do with the war zone. Adventurers can do what they like or not, just leave. There are many people who want to take missions. The war zone doesn't have to care about "human rights" at all. After all, they don't even have an employment relationship, they just love you.
I wish to have a temporary entrustment relationship.
To put it simply, forming an army requires treating soldiers as human beings, so it costs too much money. Recruiting adventurers only requires treating adventurers as tools, and there is no need for additional factors other than tools such as 'race' or 'human rights'.
It was a waste of money, so the cost dropped significantly.
In the first year of implementation, the adventurer system saved 80% of military expenses.
The most wonderful thing is that after the conscription system was converted into an adventurer system, it had no negative impact on the Blood Moon Kingdom.
The reason is that the Blood Moon Kingdom does not have rigid collective military needs such as suppressing rebellions, defending borders, and disaster relief.
Needless to say, there is no rebellion. Let’s not mention the ‘forbidden love education’ implemented by the Blood Moon Kingdom. Just the chips on everyone’s back necks make it impossible for a large-scale rebellion to happen.
It is normal if there are no natural disasters. The Meteorological Bureau has solved everything before the disaster occurs. As for those virtual disasters caused by magicians, they naturally have to be solved by magicians, and the army cannot help at all.
As for the border, as the saying goes in the curtain, 'The Lord of the Blood Moon has helped us resist foreign enemies', so there is no need for troops to be stationed at the border.
Matters such as maintaining public security, pursuing criminals, and preventing cults are the responsibilities of the Crime Hunting Department.
Therefore, the army only has two functions left: emergency forces, and suppressing the abyss in various places. These functions can be fully undertaken by adventurers. Therefore, after the military system was transformed into an adventurer system, although the efficiency did not increase, it did not decrease either. Risk-taking
The activist group also stepped onto the stage of history.
As a violent group, adventurers are quite complex. There are combat magicians who are dedicated to protecting the Blood Moon and honing their skills, profitists who want to obtain resources in the war zone, and even wanted criminals who come to the war zone to make a living in order to avoid being wanted.
.
Yes, the war zone is willing to accommodate wanted criminals, and the Crime Hunting Agency will not come to the war zone to arrest people. For the desperate villains who have committed serious crimes in the city, the war zone is almost the only place for them to stay.
For example, the Woodpecker gang controlled by Schilling also has a branch of the Woodpecker in the Lakeview War Zone, which is responsible for sheltering members who have committed trouble. If Ronald "Golden Mouth" hadn't happened to be caught, he would probably have gone to Lakeview to become an adventurer.
.
When Ash heard Igula talk about the adventurer system in prison, he also asked them if it was possible to make a living in the war zone after escaping from prison, and start a vigorous adventurer journey, earning merit while clearing their names, and will
The strange cult leader gets back on track with his fantasy journey.
But Igulla coldly rejected his fantasy - the war zone doesn't mind whether you are a big bad guy with heinous crimes or a little brat who commits racial discrimination because of bad breath, but the prerequisite is that you must have a chip.
Without a chip, wanted criminals would not be able to enter the 'safe rest area' provided by the war zone - as you can tell from the name, this area will activate the 'attack prohibition' in the adventurer's chip, and everyone in the safe area will be prohibited from attacking.
Not to mention that Ash is unwilling to implant a chip into himself. Even if he wanted to, he would not be able to find a way. Chip implantation is a monopoly business of the Beloved Church, and even the underground black market only provides purification services, not implantation services.
Therefore, they broke out of the five evil villains and after removing the chips, there was no way back.
Moreover, adventurers are not as happy as Ash imagined, because the war zone only accepts merit consumption. No matter how much money you have, you will not be able to live comfortably in the war zone, and you will even be slaughtered. In the end, you must receive a mission and go to the war zone.
Make a living by killing monsters in the waterway abyss.
According to statistics, there is only a 25% chance that new adventurers can survive a year in a war zone. Even if most of them choose to escape back to the city to work because they cannot persist, this pass rate is still very scary.
In order to take care of such a complex group of adventurers, the War Zone has also launched the "Adventurer Merit" system. All mission rewards are merit, and adventurers can use their merit to redeem any rewards in the War Zone, including but not limited to magic spirits and miraculous spells.
, faction knowledge, etc.
And the best thing is that the merits are not registered on the chip, but on the adventurer badge that you carry with you.
The adventurer badge is anonymous.
As long as you can take out the adventurer badge, the war zone will still exchange your merits for you, whether your badge is your own, picked up, or... obtained by murder.
When Ash found out about this mechanism, he fully understood the good intentions of Blood Moon Kingdom's implementation of the adventurer system. With this trick alone, it would be impossible for a concerted adventurer group to appear in the war zone, and large-scale violent groups would have their roots in this.
It was disintegrated. As long as the war zone can still provide merit exchange rewards for a day, suspicion will always exist among the adventurers.
How could the Blood Moon Kingdom, which bans even units like the family, allow violent groups like the military to exist?
Although large groups do not exist, there are countless small adventure groups of five or six people. There are seven or eight in this camp alone.
Seeing these "Fire Adventure Team", "Hungry Wolf Team" and "Wind Brigade", Ash couldn't help but get wet in his eyes - he actually yearned for this kind of fantasy adventure life. He formed an adventure group with a few like-minded best friends and embarked on the journey.
An unknown journey, an epic story, and then retirement, marriage, and seclusion in the countryside before the age of 35.
Best of all, he hopes he can meet a beautiful and sexy lover, a virtuous and considerate wife, a beauties whom he knows well, and a energetic and lovely girlfriend.
Then it would be better if they could not meet each other.
This is an authentic fantasy story.
Now he was arrested → escaped from prison → escaped from the country. How can this be called a fantasy story? This is clearly a police story!
There is no need to travel back in time, as long as he embezzles public funds in the company, he can experience this process!
Just when Ash fell into the sadness of an adult again, there seemed to be friction among the adventurers.
A masked adventurer in a cloak said that he had lost his badge and suspected that the three people who passed by him had stolen it. Naturally, the three people refused to acknowledge it and were even willing to accept a face-covered search.
Just when he was searching for the first person with his face covered, the first person raised his hands, holding the adventurer badge in his right hand, and threw it to the second person in the blind spot of his masked vision.
Everyone around saw this scene, but no one said anything, they were all watching the show. Not to mention the evil-minded ones, even if there were kind-hearted people, they would never help - even important badges could be stolen, so what?
Why don't you just give up your career as an adventurer and just go back to the city and become a cog in society.
Cover your face and search the second person. The second person also raises his hands and throws the badge to the third person. When you cover your face and search the third person, the third person throws the badge to the first person.
The badge was rotated in the hands of three people, making the onlookers laugh.
These three people simply wanted to have fun covering their faces. In the end, they gained nothing and could only leave thinking they were unlucky.
Just when Ash thought this was just an ordinary social beating, suddenly the three people screamed.
"Where's my badge? Why is my badge missing?"
"Mine is gone too! Hey, it must be that goblin bastard just now!"
"Where has he gone!? Find him quickly. My badge contains the merits of buying magic spirits!"
The three people looked around angrily for the masked person, but there were too many people wearing cloaks and masks here. The masked people melted into the crowd as soon as they got into the crowd. Where could they find them? They even targeted Ash, who
Xiu looked at them without fear.
"Hahaha, I was laughing so hard. I just saw him take away the badges of you idiots when he was searching you, but I didn't tell you, hahaha!"
"Why are you staring? You can't steal from others, so why are you embarrassing yourself here? Do you want to fight?"
"We've laughed enough, you can get out."
The members of the adventure group next to them laughed loudly, and the laughter broke out one after another. The three of them were so angry that their shoulders were shaking, and they were about to shed tears in grievance. They could only say a few harsh words in a low voice that no one could hear, and they said dejectedly.
Hide to the edge area.
At this time, a goblin in formal attire walked up to the high platform. He was tall, with handsome features, a pair of silver-rimmed glasses on his nose, and a top hat covering his hairless head. He suddenly looked like a
A fluorescent green elf.
A mere goblin actually exuded an elegant aura (Ash didn't realize he was being racist at all), and he didn't know whether it was because of plastic surgery or because he was born with it - anyway, the Blood Moon Kingdom's genetic optimization technology is the best in the world.
"Good evening fellow adventurers, I am the secretary of this mission, Kipot Mantras." Goblin said calmly: "There are only 90 minutes left before 0 o'clock, and the camp has been closed to entry and exit. Enter next.
Operational preparation phase.”
"It seems that this goblin is a candidate for parliament if he can be responsible for such a risk-free gold-plated political achievement as the invasion of foreign lands."
Suddenly, Ash's familiar comment from Kamasa came from the side. He turned his head and glanced at the cloaked adventurers next to him in confusion, but he couldn't find who was speaking.
