In middle age, one's comprehension becomes extraordinary.

The core location of the Lanwu Trial is still concentrated in Wugang City.

Many facilities in this abandoned city are still in use.

In particular, the energy and resource plants located in Wugang City.

They all operate continuously using automated equipment.

The trials that martial artists receive are mostly to protect production.

At times like these, the value of martial artists is fully revealed to society.

A powerful warrior is one who can ensure the continuous operation of production.

Those mineral resources cannot be mined without martial artists.

Li Yuan stood on high ground, surveying the terrain ahead.

All of what I've seen has been imprinted in my mind.

The talent of "photographic memory" helped me build a three-dimensional map in my mind.

The ups and downs, the cliffs and dangerous places—all of these were completely etched into my mind.

You can call upon it at will and think about the most accurate decision you can make when you are in different locations.

The benefits brought by favorable timing and location should not be underestimated.

By creating such a map in one's mind, one gains an absolute geographical advantage.

Thinking about this, Li Yuan's approval of this new talent increased even more.

"Photographic memory" is not simply about improving memory.

The most important effect is that it provides the ability to simulate again and again.

After countless mental simulations, when it comes to actual practice, one's mindset is more composed.

The original dangers, for me, only require skillful handling.

Of course, there will definitely be differences in actual practice.

You will inevitably encounter situations that you have never seen before.

After all, simulations are just repetitions based on existing memories.

It's difficult to simulate something that has never been encountered before.

But that's enough. Being able to simulate dangerous situations with ferocious beasts time and time again allows them to gain far more than others.

After looking at the forty-second floor, Li Yuan asked if he could go to the top floor to take another look.

The hotel stated that it was not in a position to agree.

That's the observation and operations room of the Lanying City Command. You need the command's permission to go up there.

Li Yuan didn't insist, but simply went to look at the balcony of the guest room opposite on the 42nd floor.

From this direction, you can see the entire city of Lanying.

Further into the distance, the city is nowhere to be seen.

It is clear that, in order to make cities safer, most cities are staying as far away from the Lanying City area as possible.

Even though they are all near the border, there are still significant differences between the various regions.

At eight o'clock, Li Yuan left the hotel and arrived at the command center park.

Warriors participating in the Lanwu Trial also handle their tasks here, including accepting missions and submitting results.

Walking through the central area, Li Yuan felt that there were quite a few martial artists coming and going.

According to yesterday's handbook, the number of registered martial artists in the Lanwu Trial has exceeded 60,000.

But this number only represents the number of registered users.

Many martial artists have long since stopped participating in the Lanwu Trial.

The main force of the Lanwu Trial consists mostly of martial artists under the age of fifty.

They haven't fully established themselves yet and lack resources.

That's why I came to Lanwu for the trial, hoping to fight for a better future.

Lanying City has a great need for outstanding martial artists, and the current number of martial artists cannot fill this gap.

Twenty years ago, the qualification review for the Lanwu Trial was relaxed.

It's not necessary to achieve a certain ranking in the Qingwu Tournament or results in other competitions.

Once you've passed the fifth rank in martial arts, you can come after a simple test.

However, after the restrictions were lifted, the mortality rate among martial artists was very high.

The Blue Eagle Trial is actually a special mission.

Ordinary martial artists lack outstanding individual abilities and are simply not suitable for carrying out special missions.

After three years of relaxation, the previous strictness has been reinstated.

Even though the number of martial artists was insufficient after the strict regulations were implemented, the completion rate of the missions was not significantly different from when things were more relaxed.

The current command center in Lanying City is focusing more on finding ways to motivate its staff.

This means encouraging the current martial artists to work harder and take on more missions.

The effect is far better than attracting more martial artists to Lanying City.

Everyone who went to the conference room with me yesterday arrived at 8:30.

Like Li Yuan, they were all newcomers to the Lanwu Trial for the first time.

Although they were newcomers, everyone remained calm.

Those who can come here are all outstanding martial artists from various fields, and each of them has achieved excellent results.

When people meet, they don't speak, but they nod politely to each other.

There were more than twenty people present, and the liaison officer was Zhuang Meng.

Everyone learned this during yesterday's meeting and training.

Everyone has gathered here to receive their first task.

At 8:40, Zhuang Meng and another female employee arrived and led everyone into a large office.

Inside the large office sat many liaison officers, both men and women.

In the far right corner is the desk shared by Zhuang Meng and her partner Jin Qianhui.

Each martial artist has two liaison officers.

In case of an emergency, one person may be unable to handle the situation.

The relationship between the liaison officer and the martial artist is one of cooperation.

The warrior accepts the mission from the liaison officer. After successfully completing the mission, the two liaison officers can jointly receive a 10% performance bonus.

Ten percent sounds like a pretty high number.

How could a liaison officer have so many martial artists under his command at the same time?

But once I actually sat in the position of liaison officer, I realized that this performance-based reward was not easy to obtain.

Martial artists all have their own things to do, and it's impossible for them to be on missions in Lanying City all year round.

Meanwhile, more than twenty new martial artists have arrived today, and many of them will leave after their first mission.

Those martial artists who can actually stay and carry out B-level or even higher-level missions are even fewer.

If a liaison officer had four or five such martial artists under his command, he wouldn't have to worry about his annual performance bonus at all.

If there are ten such martial artists, then as long as the liaison officers don't spend excessively, they don't need to look at the price when buying things.

For liaison officers, it is very important to befriend those martial artists with potential.

Only by serving them well can we obtain a continuous stream of opportunities to earn performance bonuses.

If the service is poor, those excellent martial artists will change their liaison officers at any time.

In Lanying City, outstanding martial artists are even allowed to bring their own liaison officers.

Of course, liaison officers have limited time and energy.

After reviewing the information of these twenty-odd newcomers, Zhuang Meng and her colleague will definitely have to make a decision.

Show more care and help to those with potential, and just go through the motions with those who don't seem to have potential.

Inside the large office, the first tasks for the new employees have already begun to be assigned.

For their first mission, new warriors have no choice; the liaison officer will arrange it for them.

The mission level is fixed at E.

One by one, the others stepped forward and received their newbie tasks.

Soon it was Li Yuan's turn, and the person handling his first mission was Zhuang Meng.

"Clean up the dust and remove obstacles to resolve various issues with the photovoltaic panels on the outskirts of Wugang City."

The timeframe is three days, and the performance requirement is 20 points.

Upon hearing this, Jin Qianhui, who was sitting next to Zhuang Meng, couldn't help but turn her head and glance at her.

She was somewhat surprised that Zhuang Meng had assigned this task to Li Yuan.

We live in the information age, and people expose such things on online forums and short video platforms.

The "Clearing Ashes and Obstacles" task is known as the "Discouragement Task".

In other words, it's a task assigned to you by the liaison officer when they think you're not up to the task.

This E-level mission may seem easy, but it actually hides some dangers.

It may seem like you don't need to kill any ferocious beasts, but you're likely to encounter C-level or even B-level ferocious beasts during the mission.

Beneath those solar panels are hiding places for many ferocious beasts.

Furthermore, even if this task is successfully completed, it won't earn much performance bonus.

This task is aptly named the "Newcomer Rejection Task."

Inside the large office, the other liaison officers couldn't help but glance at Zhuang Meng when they heard her assign this task.

Given the current level of transparency, this seems to be a deliberate attempt to target us.

"You can only change your contact officer after you have successfully completed the mission once you have passed the novice period."

I know you have some opinions, but please keep them to yourself for now.

Alternatively, you could consider my previous suggestion.

The difficulty level of the Lanwu Trial is not suitable for you; there's no need to harm yourself or others.

When Zhuang Meng spoke of "harming herself," she meant that Li Yuan's lack of ability led to her injury.

The harmful aspect is that Li Yuan's persistent clinging to her will disrupt her stable life.
