Chapter 160 Choosing a Camp
【Why is Coral City so lively every day? 】
One post caught the attention of many people.
The novice area of the game Looking Up at the Stars is very well designed.
Most of the players in Shu were born in more than ten small cities in the southwest region of the game continent.
There are many towns around the city, and there are also a large number of temporary gathering points in the wilderness. These are novice maps for players.
Coral City is one of these more than ten small cities.
But since the server was launched, only Coral City has been very lively. Players in other cities just fight monsters, level up, explore the map, and occasionally cause some minor friction every day.
In the surrounding cities, the most lively incident was when two large guilds fought over a BOSS a few days ago, which attracted a little attention.
And every time something happens in Coral City, it attracts countless players from other cities to join in the fun.
Under this post, a player replied: "If we all live in a novel, then Coral City must be where the protagonist lands."
"Nonsense, how can we live in a novel? This is more like a game!"
"If this is really a game, please ask the player who controls me to give me a 6 yuan initial charge..."
“…”
In terms of city size, Coral City is indeed slightly larger than the other newbie cities.
Let’s forget about all the things that happened before.
But today, Coral City actually launched a large-scale mission covering the entire map.
This made many players excited, and some even wanted to create a small account and come to Coral City.
Of course, the specific content of this task is also one of the hotly debated topics.
[Please choose your camp, the mechanical tribe or the human resistance? ]
Many players, standing on the natural position of the human race, are somewhat disgusted by the requirements of this mission.
Some people also think that this is a game after all, and as long as they can earn equipment and gold coins, it doesn’t matter which camp they join.
The players are all immortal, so the cost of trial and error is not high.
But there were quite a lot of players who objected, especially those who landed at the resistance organization’s base.
Even if we put aside the inherent positions of the two ethnic groups, both sides have to debate for their own interests.
"If something as disgusting as Four Seasons Rice were put in real life, I would stay as far away from it as possible, but this is a game..."
"The person above is wrong. You have to stay as far away as possible in the game. Who knows when he will stab you in the back?"
“…”
Amid the heated discussion, more and more players accepted the mission.
The players who randomly landed at the resistance organization’s base were not idle either. They actually formed a [Resistance Camp Player Alliance] and even set up groups on various communication platforms.
This mission actually divided the originally confused players into two distinct factions without them noticing.
In the past, everyone just watched the show.
It won’t work this time, it’s my fault, I have to take action.
If divided by map, this mission basically forms two camps: city and wilderness.
Some people even shouted the slogan "For the Alliance".
It was as if I had returned to many years ago overnight.
…
Su Xia didn't care about these things for the time being.
He took a taxi and went straight to the office building in the city center.
In the past, Su Xia had various ways to sneak in, but this time he came to take up the position openly.
There is a facial recognition system at the entrance of the building.
Su Xia walked to the door and passed the identification in less than a second. The cold machine also said: "Welcome, employee number 9528."
It went smoothly. It seems Qi Lang has already entered his identity into the employee system.
Su Xia entered the building and asked the front desk.
The receptionist immediately pointed him in a direction and said, "Turn left and you will find Minister Wu's office."
"On the first floor?"
"Yes, on the first floor."
The receptionist was very patient and explained it to Su Xia with a smile.
Just a few days ago, for some unknown reason, the city lord Qi Lang suddenly moved his office on the top floor to the first floor.
Once he made a move, other departments had no choice but to follow suit.
The hierarchy and ideology in this city are very strict. The ministers dare not sit on Qi Lang's head all day long, and immediately go down to the first floor with the people in their department.
There were definitely not enough rooms on the first floor, so many departments moved directly to the basement.
The basement is not big enough, so we have to transform it into a huge underground garage.
As a result, managers of most cities can only work in dark underground garages, and every floor of the garage is crowded with people.
Su Xia was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help asking, "Is it so weird?"
"Shh... keep your voice down. Are you new here?"
The girl at the front desk carefully looked around, her big eyes full of caution, and whispered to Su Xia: "Don't comment on this matter in public."
"Oh, I see."
Su Xia understood that it was rare for a city to be so rotten.
There is no hope at all. It can only be described by Bian Que's three mistakes.
He thanked the girl and left, heading straight for Wu Zhonggui's office.
The office on the first floor was very small. Because there were too many people coming down, Wu Zhonggui had to divide the original office into two and give half to the director of another department.
The midday sun was very warm, shining into the office through the glass, dispelling some of the cramped feeling.
Wu Zhonggui sat on a simple stool and browsed some of the information left by Zhao Si on the computer screen.
Sijidao sat aside, looking in a good mood, as if he had come out of the shame of yesterday.
After all, he was the first player to trigger the major quest.
This honor is enough to be engraved in the history of the game.
No matter how this game develops in the future, people will remember that there is a man named Sijidao .
“Knock, knock…”
Su Xia knocked on the door and then pushed it open and walked in.
Wu Zhonggui raised his head, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, but he quickly forced a smile and said to Su Xia: "You came just in time. I have some intelligence materials here. Take a look."
In fact, he doesn't need an assistant at all. It is enough to have Sijidao to discuss things with him.
But he also understood what Yu Tuo meant.
The mechanical boss wanted balance, so he had to find something for Su Xia to do.
Wu Zhonggui opened the drawer and took out a large stack of paper documents.
"Take a look. If you have any questions, tell me." He casually tapped the pile of information, and some tiny particles flew around in the sunlight.
"good."
Su Xia did not refuse. The more information he had about Coral City, the better.
But he did not forget the purpose of his visit. While browsing the information, he asked, "Is this the Coral Expedition you wanted, Minister?"
"Oh? This matter?"
Wu Zhonggui was not surprised, as Su Xia should have known about this.
only……
When discussing in the morning, Sijidao said that because of the pharmacy matter, Su Xia would definitely be at odds with them and would try every means to ruin the matter.
So they took advantage of the fact that Su Xia had not yet arrived at the office in the morning to get this done.
"This is not just my opinion." Wu Zhonggui had already thought of an excuse. "Recently, the resistance organizations in the wilderness have been too rampant. Although the masked man is dead, the influence he left behind has not been eliminated. So many of our departments jointly held a meeting and consulted the opinion of Qilang City Lord. Finally, we decided on this expedition."
Su Xia asked again: "Has the city lord decided to completely subdue those resistance organizations?"
Wu Zhonggui shook his head: "Of course not, I am just driven by interests. Driving a tiger to devour a wolf, I think you understand."
"Um……"
Su Xia had nothing to say.
The die is cast.
This guy even prepared his arguments, and was obviously ready to push this task forward by force.
The so-called "multi-departmental collaboration" looks grand, but the other departments have no personnel at all.
The real leaders of this expedition are still Wu Zhonggui and Sijidao.
They were new officials and had a setback at the pharmacy, so they had to regain their reputation elsewhere.
"You are new here, if you have any questions, you can ask more."
Wu Zhonggui smiled and when he saw that Su Xia stopped talking, he thought he had compromised.
Although Su Xia was arranged by Yu Tuo, he had never had any work experience before. He was a pure newcomer and knew nothing.
This small office is Wu Zhonggui's home ground.
Here, he has countless ways to control Su Xia.
Wu Zhonggui felt that this expedition had effectively dampened Su Xia's enthusiasm. As long as similar things happened a few more times, he would be able to make Su Xia completely submit to him.
"The representatives of those mercenary organizations have entered the city one after another." Wu Zhonggui said with a confident smile, "We will hold a reception banquet at 5 pm. You can come with me to receive them then."
"good."
Su Xia acted very calm.
Sijidao was standing next to them, and he seemed to have forgotten the humiliation of kneeling yesterday, and he also had a smile on his face.
But there was a hint of coldness in that smile, like a poisonous snake that chooses its prey.
He smiled coldly, pretended to be kind and extended his hand to Su Xia, and said: "Su Xia, we will work together in the future, and I hope you can put aside the past grudges."
"Who is speaking?"
Su Xia looked confused, scratched his ear and looked around.
His eyes passed directly over Sijidao, as if he didn't even notice the hand that Sijidao extended to him.
Four Seasons Rice: “…”
His outstretched hand froze in mid-air, looking very funny.
This humiliation of being ignored reminded him of the kneeling he did yesterday afternoon.
Multiple humiliations collided in his chest, making him tremble with anger. He could no longer hold the smile on his face and shouted coldly, "Just wait!"
Su Xia was too lazy to pay attention to him and lowered her head to look through the documents.
Time was precious, so he tried to find some useful information from these intelligence documents.
He soon discovered...
The intelligence documents Wu Zhonggui gave him were all useless scraps.
Basically, it was a small clerk in a certain department forging medical records to ask for leave, or an administrator in a certain area saying bad things about the city lord behind his back...
Wu Zhonggui's meaning was very clear, he just wanted to use some random garbage to deal with Su Xia.
If Su Xia wanted, he could even do nothing, be a marginal person, spend time in the office every day, and just collect his salary on time every month.
