"You're so lazy, forget it!"
After rolling his eyes at Yu Huan, Yu Yuan still explained to Yu Huan honestly:
"Simply put, because this world is already 'dead', the rules and regulations have long been in disarray or even completely disappeared. It's not surprising that things that shouldn't appear in this world appear for no reason at any time..."
After a pause:
"Well, to put it simply, a wormhole opened up in this world at some point, and then a person who didn't belong to this world came here with certain rules that didn't belong to this world. To put it bluntly... there's a traveler in this world right now. How you want to deal with it is up to you, sister~~"
"A time traveler? The same as me?!"
Yu Yuan's explanation instantly cheered Yu Huan up. After all, he too had come to this world as a time traveler, so the target of the mission must be... a fellow villager?!
In that instant, Yu Huan felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity in his heart, even though he had never met the other person before. He immediately answered without thinking:
"Why would I even need to choose? As long as the other person isn't someone I can't accept physically or psychologically, I naturally won't kill him (her). Can Yuanyuan locate the other person's position?"
She spoke excitedly and looked at Yu Yuan expectantly. It was obvious that Yu Huan was very interested in this fellow countryman. However, even so excited, she did not hear the little girl on her shoulder muttering a complaint after hearing Yu Huan's excited words:
"They are not the same. How can a mere human compare to my sister..."
Of course, not to mention that Yu Huan didn't hear these words, even if she did, she would at most be embarrassed... It seems that before becoming a goddess, she was essentially a human being.
The mumbling sound was quickly drowned out. Facing Yu Huan's question, Yu Yuan naturally would not refuse and casually slashed open the light curtain in front of him. Along with the line-like light, it continued to expand like satellite positioning, and then more areas were connected from it under the lines. Finally, the picture was frozen on a map of the city in front of Yu Huan.
"According to the system's detection, the other party should be in this city. This city is approximately 1,300 kilometers north of the city you are currently in. Do you want to go?"
After asking this, Yu Huan thought about it carefully and then slowly shook his head:
"Forget it. Although I really want to meet my fellow countrymen and experience what it's like, there's no need to force it. Now...how about we become scavengers?"
As if recalling some past experience, Yu Huan's sudden words also made Yu Yuan's eyes light up and he nodded vigorously immediately:
"Yeah, that's great! After being idle for so long, I'm finally thinking of my old ways!"
He was so excited that he didn't notice the black line on Yu Huan's forehead for a moment: Your profession is a scavenger, your whole family are scavengers!
Of course, this kind of complaint would definitely not be said out loud. After all, if she really said it out loud, Yu Yuan would probably be able to say with confidence: This system is a scavenger system, and my family is you, my sister!
If that happened, Yu Huan would probably be speechless.
Wanting to be a scavenger... Now it is not an easy thing not only in the world of ruins, but even here. After all, without the corresponding strength, the government departments dare not give you the task of scavenging. Therefore, although it is not as strict as in the wasteland and you have to go to school or something, when Yu fantasized about being a scavenger, he also encountered some big and small troubles.
"Scavenger rank badge... what's that?"
When Yu Huan followed the instructions given in "Asking for Directions" and came to the scavenger department of this world to register as a scavenger, the other party asked her to show such a president. However, Yu Huan was left with nothing but confusion.
So what is that?
It's very simple. It's nothing more than a badge used to identify the level of scavengers. Only those who hold the badge can register as scavengers. This is also the regulation of the scavenger department.
How to obtain the scavenger level badge?
When Yu Huan asked this question, the answer he got was also very simple: exam!
Yes, if you want to become a qualified scavenger, exams... are essential!
153. Brushing tasks
(This chapter is overused hehe~~~ It's not water~)
"The so-called exam..."
To be honest, Yu Huan said that she is quite experienced in the so-called scavenger assessment. After all, she is a top student who graduated from a formal scavenger academy. Although she was unable to take part in the final exam due to some special reasons, her scavenging results are real.
Therefore, when he learned that this world also had the so-called scavenger assessment, although the assessments could not be the same because they were two different worlds, Yu Huan actually made sufficient mental preparations and waited for the assessment to begin.
Then... there is no more!
If you were to ask Yu Huan how she felt about the exam, she would undoubtedly only want to say one sentence or two words:
"That's it?"
Looking at the tattered wooden board standing in front of him, there was something written on it that looked like it was written with a piece of charcoal picked up at random: Scavenger Level Badge (F Level) Administration Office, Assessment Requirements: Hand in a bag of food worth no less than biscuits to pass!
Well, simple, right?
It was quite simple, so simple that Ye Chen couldn't help but look at the fat man in front of him who was still so plump even in this apocalypse. He seriously suspected in his heart whether the other party was deliberately giving out scavenger badges or something like that in exchange for snacks.
After all, in this apocalyptic world, compared to useless things like coins, food is obviously more common, so the other party's so-called assessment project is likely to be...
"So are you going to do it or not? Even if I tell you clearly that this is bribery, just tell me whether you want to do it or not, right?"
It was as if he understood what Yu Huan wanted to express in her eyes. In fact, it was obvious that this kind of look was not the first time for the fat man in front of him. He was not even in the mood to appreciate Yu Huan's "beauty" and spoke such rude words as soon as he opened his mouth.
Yu Huan took a deep breath and decisively placed a bag of bread he had put in his pocket when he was out in the wild on the table.
"want!"
"Very good, transaction completed, no returns or exchanges. Here's your scavenger badge, take it!"
With the food, the fat man was obviously much more talkative. When a plastic badge that looked like a child's toy was thrown directly to Yu Huan and she caught it, perhaps because of Yu Huan's small size, he finally felt a little sympathy, or because Yu Huan was so straightforward in taking the bread, the fat man was very fond of her. He looked at Yu Huan and said with a smile:
"Don't be surprised. Actually, this isn't really bribery, because that's how the scavenger badge is issued... After all, scavenging is a tiring job. Not only do you have to go out into the dangerous world every day to collect resources and accept missions, but you can even die at any moment."
After swallowing a mouthful of bread, the fat man seemed to talk more. Without letting Yu Huan ask any questions, he took the initiative to explain:
"Don't be fooled by the fact that scavengers seem to have a much higher status than us in the city, but that also comes at a price. So, unless you're really talented or have no other options, no one is willing to do this kind of work."
Simply put, applying for the so-called scavenger badge is just a formality to confirm your identity as a scavenger. As for the rest... it is obvious that the scavengers in this world are not as rigorous and complicated as the scavengers in Yuhuan's world. They are just a group of guys who go out on adventures every day, so it is so simple.
After learning this, Yu Huan nodded slightly to the fat man in front of him who had almost finished his bread and continued to doze off in his seat, then turned around and continued walking towards the mercenary hall.
The mercenary badge has been easily obtained. If it is really as the fat man said, then in Yu Huan's mind, it would be a simple matter for him to upgrade his scavenger level as soon as possible.
However, this thought did not come to her mind until she came to the scavenger department again and officially became a scavenger. After seeing the lowest-level task listed at the F level, she finally understood clearly... she was thinking too much!
"F-rank mission: Collecting rabbit hair grass!"
"Mission Objective: Collect ten stalks of rabbit fur grass located on the edge of the Silver Tower!"
"Mission Reward: Scavenger Points +1, Bonus: 30 Yuan!"
'Note: This task can be accepted repeatedly, with no upper limit!'
'F-rank mission: skin and bones!'
'Mission Objective: Go to the slaughterhouse and skin and debone the hunted mutant beasts!'
'Mission Reward: Scavenger Points +3, Bonus: 20 Yuan, and 2 taels of mutant beast meat (cooked on site).'
'Note: This mission is limited to ten attempts per person, and requires mastery of slaughtering skills. Failure to achieve the goal will result in double scavenger points being deducted!'
"F-rank mission: hunting zombies..."
"Mission Reward: Scavenger Points +3, Bonus..."
And so on and so forth. Even after Yu Huan deliberately filtered out all tasks except the lowest-level F-level tasks, these tasks appeared in front of her. However, after looking at the densely packed tasks, Yu Huan silently glanced at her scavenger badge again:
'Life: Yuna (Yu Huan)'
'Gender: Female'
Occupation: Scavenger (F-rank)
'Career Points: 0/100'
'Career Assessment: Rookie'
"..."
Silence, a long silence. This silence did not only come from Yu Huan, but also from Yu Yuan on her shoulder.
Although this Miss System sometimes likes to play pranks on her sister, at this moment, looking at the ridiculous task and reward in front of her, plus the points Yu Huan needs to upgrade, even she obviously can't say anything to encourage Yu Huan.
After a long silence, he could only speak cautiously:
"How about...should we give up?"
Anyway, it doesn't matter to Yu Huan whether he does the task or not. Instead of making so much trouble, it's better to just give up. After all, if he does the task under this circumstance, one hundred points means at least thirty tasks, and this is when he specifically takes on those troublesome tasks.
Yuhuan had previously checked that the scavenger's level corresponds to the task. If the level is not reached, it is not allowed to accept tasks above the level. In other words, Yuhuan at level F can only accept tasks at level F.
How long will it take to achieve this?
And the most important thing is that this is just the difficulty of upgrading from F level to E level. Who knows how many points are needed to upgrade online. If you really do this, by the time Yu Huan is done with his side, the wars on the other side may be over!
"I do not!"
At this time, giving up decisively is undoubtedly the best choice. After all, those so-called rewards actually have no meaning to Yu Huan no matter how you look at it.
However, even facing the dense list of tasks in front of him, Yu Huan suddenly nodded with a firm expression and said:
"It wouldn't matter if there weren't any missions, but now that we've accepted them, we definitely have to complete them... Isn't it just that the upgrade is a little slow? Look at me... I'll get it done in minutes!"
Having said that, Yu Huan immediately pulled out a 'Rabbit Down Grass' task from in front of him without thinking, and then strode towards the door of the scavenger department.
What else could Yu Huan say about this? There was nothing he could do… He had dug this hole himself, so he had to jump into it even if he had to kneel down!
After all, this world was chosen by her, and the mission was also issued by her (the system). In this case, as a system elf, she encouraged her sister to give up the mission, which was already a violation. Naturally, she couldn't say much. She flapped her little wings behind her and caught up with Yu Huan.
What happened after that... obviously there is no need to write about it!
Under the dual tasks of being a system and a scavenger, Yu Huan, who had a very high starting point and therefore obviously lacked a lot of "social experience", was equivalent to experiencing what it felt like to be an "ordinary scavenger" all over again.
There were more than thirty tasks, totaling one hundred points, which made her an E-level scavenger, but the time Yu Huan took was... two full days!
This was only possible with the help of the system's positioning. Otherwise, if other scavengers were to come, the task of finding rabbit hair grass would be enough to make them dazzled by the dense grass leaves.
And two days later, Yu Huan, who had finally succeeded in becoming an E-level scavenger from an F-level, finally came to the scavenger department again, and then officially accepted his first... crusade mission in this world!
F-level and E-level are like two watersheds among scavengers. Although there is only a level difference between them, the things they are actually responsible for are worlds apart.
Because the registration of scavengers is quite simple, so simple that any ordinary person can do it, there were actually a lot of people who wanted to join when this department was first established.
After all, the 'price' of a pack of biscuits can get you access to all sorts of F-level missions. Putting aside other things, just talking about the job in the slaughterhouse that Yu Huan had seen before, two taels of meat is definitely an extremely luxurious enjoyment for people in today's society. Therefore, scavengers are still very popular in a sense.
154. Let’s go and find our fellow villagers!
However, despite being admired, the essence of a scavenger is to go out into the world to scavenge, and that is the real job of the scavenger, and also their future of risking their lives.
Many people do not have the courage to take that step towards such a future. Therefore, many scavengers rarely upgrade their levels even after accumulating 100 points of experience.
After all, as long as they maintain their lowest level, they can continue to take these low-paying but safe jobs. However, once they are promoted to the scavenger level above E, it also means that their tasks will change from a safe task to... an extremely dangerous crusade task!
Yes, missions above E level are basically expedition missions. Even if they are not, most of them involve going outside to collect resources, etc. It can be said that every mission truly requires leaving the Silver Tower.
This trend has led to the ratio between F-level scavengers and E-level scavengers always being 7:3.
Now, after two days of torture, not only did Yu Huan's eyes almost become dead fish eyes, but even Yu Yuan, who was originally interested in watching his sister running around, and who had the power to destroy the world but was overwhelmed by these small tasks, had developed a strong feeling of boredom after seeing it so much.
Fortunately, after all the hardships, Yu Huan finally got his own crusade mission. Although the increase in rewards and points is not much, and the missions he can accept are still the lowest level, for Yu Huan... it is enough, isn't it?
After all, she only enjoys the process, and the so-called points and rewards are almost dispensable to her.
By the way, when Yu Huan's level was upgraded from F to E, the system's rewards were distributed almost simultaneously. Of course, because of his lowest level, the rewards would not be much, just ten spirit coins and a walnut (LV2) level lock.
For Yu Huan...something is better than nothing?
"Okay, let me see what mission is best to take?"
Early in the morning, the enthusiastic Yu Huan decisively went to the scavenger department to check the subjugation missions. Although it was the lowest level group, it was obvious that there were too many monsters surrounding the city, so there was no shortage of such missions. Yu Huan quickly found a lot of missions that he could take on:
"Hmm, not bad, not bad. Just as I expected, the targets of the subjugation missions are mostly mutant creatures or zombies around the city, not far away. And if the missions can be taken on at the same time, that means I can take on several at once... This will obviously save a lot of trouble!"
Thinking of this, Yu Huan would pick up any task he saw and thought was simple without hesitation. Fortunately, there were no other scavengers around at this moment, otherwise, they would definitely be scared to death seeing Yu Huan accepting tasks so unscrupulously!
After all, although it seems that you can accept the scavenger mission whenever you want without any requirements, you should know that each mission has its own time limit and failure penalty.
If you accept too many tasks at one time, you can certainly complete as many tasks as possible, but if some of them fail, the punishment may be enough to make all your work in vain, and it may even reduce your scavenger level.
However, Yu Huan naturally didn't care about these things, so he happily completed all the tasks he could take, and then rushed out again excitedly according to the system's instructions.
Accept tasks, hand in tasks, accept tasks, hand in tasks... Upgrade, accept tasks, hand in tasks, accept tasks, hand in tasks, upgrade...
It's unknown when it started, but a rumor similar to an urban legend has gradually spread among the scavengers in City No. 2544:
It is said that every time between midnight and the early morning, a dreamy girl who looks like a fairy will appear in the scavenger department.
The other party would not communicate with anyone. Even if some people approached with the intention of chatting, they would be decisively ignored. However, what really made these scavengers talk about was the way the girl accepted the task:
If others are very selective when accepting tasks, then the girl is definitely even more selective when accepting tasks... She doesn't want any tasks!
Yes, after carefully selecting a few more troublesome tasks from all the tasks, I accepted all the others except these, and then went out... When I came back a few days later, I had already completed all the tasks.
