Returning from the abyss

Chapter 33 The goal of promotion

The information center is a two-storey circular building, which looks like a stadium. After entering from the main entrance, there is a vast hall with a row of [-] information desks on the front, and self-service inquiries with a sense of technology on both sides. machine.Yan Danqing led three people through a side door and entered a room divided into small spaces by metal partitions. He chose a room at random and took out three "contracts" in a short while. .

There are very detailed terms written on it, to the effect that within three hours Yan Danqing is responsible for answering all questions within the scope of his own knowledge. There must be no fakes. He must also lead a few people to understand the functions of the main facilities of the distribution center for survival and life, and the remuneration It is [-] points.

"As long as you trade with other humans here, you must get this kind of official contract or voucher, otherwise don't blame others if you suffer a loss." Yan Danqing signed his name and handed it to three people separately.

"And humans?"

"Most of the service facilities are automated, and this part of the consumption will flow back to the official hands, so there is no need to worry about deceiving people."

Seeing that the three people had signed, Yan Danqing was also very satisfied. He put the contract back in the room and explained: "After signing, you can see the specific content of these contracts in your personal history."

"Then let's look at the most important things first." Lu Ning said, "About the testing ground and trials..."

"just in front."

The Help Desk and Self-Service Inquiry at the Information Center is the place to apply.

Behind the information desk are slender people similar to Hanging Ying, wearing the same style of black dresses, the only difference is that their heads are all screens, which looks a little funny.

"Both sides can apply anywhere. The test field can apply at any time, it is free, and the randomness is very strong. For the first order, the maximum score that the test field can get is [-]. The use mechanism of the machine and the terminal on the mobile phone The same, they are all personally bound, so you don’t have to worry about being manipulated by others.”

Yan Danqing led them to a machine, which looked like the kind of self-service ticket collection machine at the airport, except that there were some more buttons.

She reached out and pressed on the screen, and the screen suddenly lit up, and many items appeared on it.Yan Danqing chose a few explanations: "The first item of information interaction is similar to a forum. It is an open communication place, including people from all distribution centers of the same class. But it is also full of false information. Things like that, don’t trust them. The second intelligence house is to spend money to buy information from the official that has nothing to do with other people’s private information, such as the estimated information of a test field you have experienced, the overall score, the highest score, the highest survival... But there is no way to predict it, how to use it depends on your own ideas.”

Then, Yan Danqing skipped the middle items and went directly to the last one.

"Application. There are only two items in it, the testing field and the step-up test. Just click on it, and your mobile phone will receive relevant information. Just follow that information. The point is that you need to pay for the step-up test. Once in five thousand."

"Once?" Mo Xiren grasped the word keenly.

"That's right, it is also possible to survive if you fail to upgrade. This does not prevent you from continuing to work hard... although it is not a good thing. In addition, [-] is the first-level fee, and it is already [-] to me."

Yan Danqing left the machine, and the screen immediately went dark. She walked out of the information center with three people, and pointed to a cuboid building with blue lights flickering on the edge.

"The opposite is the hospital... Apart from your physical training and injuries here, the most important function there is soul monitoring."

Yan Danqing emphasized the word "soul monitoring".

"As the name suggests, it is to monitor whether your soul is abnormal. This information can only be obtained in the hospital. Abnormalities are divided into five categories: erosion, frenzy, decay, infection, and cracking. Your current state will be given in percentage."

"What... what effect do these things have?" The man with glasses asked quickly.

"I don't know. It seems that people above the fourth level are very concerned about this, so I tell you that it is very important. Treatment will be provided in the hospital, but the cost is prohibitively expensive, and it is accompanied by many side effects. The only thing I can tell you is that these It is a symptom that can be brought out from the test field and will not be cured normally, so don't get it." Yan Danqing warned the three of them seriously.

Going out to the right, after a while, they passed an area with a very compact architectural pattern.

"Residential, probably another thing you need to consider. Different accommodations charge different prices. But sleeping on the street is definitely not a good idea, remember we enter the test field in the same state as we are here physically, So if you get sick here, you increase your chances of dying."

But Yan Danqing didn't bring the three of them in, but turned a corner and walked to another brightly lit place.

There is a park, a huge black stone monument stands in the center, engraved with countless names, glowing faintly under the night sky.

"this is……"

"This is the person who has successfully ascended to the fifth level from here so far, and entered the final exam."

Lu Ning raised her head. The stone tablet was nearly ten meters high. There were names flashing on the front and back, including both sides, but some were still shining slightly, while others were dim.

"The dim names will gradually fade away, and the bright names will slowly become deeply imprinted. As you can see, there are still more than 200 names here that are still flashing. You can guess the meaning."

Live, or die?
But it's just a name, how many people know who is who?
Lu Ning was silent.

"You don't need to care about this now. The focus is on the buildings on both sides of the park, the library and the martial arts hall." Yan Danqing pulled everyone's eyes away from the stone tablet in time, "Knowledge and force, this is probably the biggest thing we can survive in the test field." rely."

The library is a very classical Chinese-style building. Correspondingly, the martial arts hall is a castle full of Western style.

"According to different requirements, these two places have different charging standards. In the final analysis, it is a place for rich people to consume, but no matter how poor they are, some of the most basic things are essential. They can be said to be the most critical here. Functional building."

Yan Danqing led the three of them into the two buildings to check the charging standards, and then left quickly.Such a place is not an area where newcomers can stay, unless they earn more than [-] each time, they can really learn valuable things.

……

"Okay, there's still an hour... You guys have roughly understood it, do you have any questions?"

After turning around a few more places, they finally returned to the information center. Yan Danqing clapped his hands and asked the three of them with a smile.

Mo Xiren immediately asked, "What does the test field look like, is there any difference?"

"Of course it's different, and the old test field will definitely not be used. The first-order test field includes four types: survival, confrontation, secret, and hunting. A test field may contain multiple types. For example, you want to survive and confront at the same time... Secret It will provide you with some personal secrets, which is more troublesome, and in the end hunting requires you to kill or seal certain monsters in the scene."

"Why did you survive the failure?" Lu Ning asked.

"Classification - except for the survival class that will directly give a person how many days to survive, other tasks are not survival tasks, such as hunting. If you fail to hunt but the scene time is up, you will not die, but your score will be very low. , so low that you can't even afford to eat."

"The elimination scene...is the scene where the score goes to zero, what is it?" the man with glasses continued to ask.

Yan Danqing shuddered; "I don't know, no one has come out alive, so no one can say what happened there. I don't even want to go in there...another question."

"Is there any difference in the test?" Mo Xiren said.

"The first-order test must be a single type of survival, which has been confirmed by many people. But it is very difficult to pass the test, because it requires not only survival, but also score requirements. If it does not reach [-], it will be considered unqualified... Because there is no cap score limit for the test, it is not too difficult."

"Can you tell me about your test? I wonder what it might have been like."

Yan Danqing couldn't help sighing when he heard this question.

"It's no great use to know... What I'm passing is a nightmare, from a little boy."

Lu Ning has also read some horror stories with similar themes, and immediately made up a lot of content.

"We were in a nightmare from the very beginning. It's a pity that everyone didn't realize this fact at the beginning. Later, as the nightmare gradually deepened and the world became more and more bizarre, we realized it. But at that time, waking up was already a luxury, and we wanted to wake up The little boy couldn't find his real body, and many people died miserably, so... [-] points is actually not difficult."

Yan Danqing suddenly showed a sneer.

"As long as you come out alive, you can get three thousand points."

That's what he said, but Yan Danqing still explained his mission process in detail for several people.To be honest, she was rather confused, and passed the bottom line in the end. If it weren't for the fact that two people with good intelligence and military strength led the team to make a comeback, everyone would have died in it.

Then, Lu Ning and the others raised some questions about the details, and gradually gained a vague understanding of the future tasks.During this question and answer, time passed quickly.

When the time came, Yan Danqing didn't stay any longer. After saying goodbye, he walked into the information center and disappeared soon after.According to her, only those who are one level higher can return to the distribution center of the previous level, so it is probably time to go back now.

Mo Xiren followed and said goodbye to the two of them and left.The man with eyes stayed for a moment, and said:
"Thank you for the previous matter. My name is Pang Shaotong. If there is a chance, I will repay you."

Lu Ning knew that he was talking about the incident in the car, but she was just borrowing her strength, so she didn't take the credit: "It's just a matter of convenience, and I just want to know."

Pang Shaotong didn't argue, just smiled at Lu Ning and walked into the information center.

His burden was much heavier than that of Lu Ning, not only himself, but also those who came out together.
