Chapter 297 Recruiting New Members
“Crack…”
Su Xia pushed open the door of the warehouse, and the cold wind of the early morning blew in her face, carrying a thin mist with it.
It was already half past five and the camp was brightly lit.
The soldier on guard yawned on the tree, rubbed his eyes, and continued to observe the surrounding situation.
At the foot of the mountain not far from the camp, on both sides of the rift, the Longcheng team built temporary tents in camouflage colors.
The weather was cold, so a bonfire was lit outside the tent. The flames flickered, and the dry wood pieces burned with crackling sounds, occasionally emitting a few sparks.
Above one of the flames was a huge iron pot.
Vegetable and lean meat porridge is cooked in an iron pot. Wisps of white mist float out of the pot, and the aroma is everywhere.
“Gurgle…Gurgle…”
The meat porridge in the pot was bubbling, and the vegetable leaves, lean meat residue and oil residue were mixed together and swirling.
Sprinkle a handful of salt and some chopped mushrooms, stir it a few times, and it will be fragrant, smooth and mouth-watering.
"Breakfast is pretty good."
Su Xia came to the area, found a small log to sit on, and sat by the fire, waiting for the porridge to cook.
The person who cooked the porridge was a young scholar from Longcheng Academy. When he saw Su Xia coming, he immediately smiled and greeted her: "Good morning, Mr. Beifeng."
"Good morning, thank you for your hard work."
Su Xia responded with a smile and warmed her hands by the fire .
In the early morning, the temperature in the forest was quite low, now close to zero degrees, and the surrounding Dragon City members were all wearing thick clothes.
Psychic creatures are indeed more resistant to cold than ordinary people, but they are not fools. There is no need for them to suffer the cold for nothing. They should just dress as warmly as possible.
The two factions had not yet reached a conclusion in their argument, and many people had not slept all night.
Su Xia sat by the fire and could hear quarreling coming from a tent not far away.
"After arguing all night, your throat is still intact. That's really amazing." Su Xia took a sip of warm water to moisten her throat.
He heard the voice of the old dean. He was an old man in his seventies or eighties, but he was more energetic than young people. His voice was powerful and his aura was overwhelming. His vigorous life was like a burning furnace.
Su Xia didn't want to argue with them, so she just sat there and listened leisurely .
After a while, the fragrant lean meat porridge was cooked.
Su Xia ordered a bowl and drank it slowly while sitting by the fire. She felt warm all over. After finishing the bowl, she was still not satisfied and ordered another bowl.
"Your skills are excellent. Does the academy also teach cooking?" he asked the young scholar with a smile.
"Yes, it is one of the required courses." The young scholar replied: "The teacher said that our generation may have a chance to end the war. When the war is over, if we can't find a way to make a living, it's not bad to become a cook. A good chef has no risk of unemployment."
"Yeah, that makes sense."
Su Xia blew away the hot air in the bowl and gulped down a few mouthfuls.
The fragrant warmth flowed down the esophagus and warmed the stomach, dispelling much of the fatigue caused by the previous promotion to a level five creature.
After drinking, Su Xia stood up and stretched in the morning breeze.
His psychic level has now reached 5.1, and his strength has made a qualitative leap. As long as he doesn't encounter level 6 creatures or large-scale legions, he can basically roam the planet.
The improvement in strength gave Su Xia more confidence.
"Mr. Beifeng, do you want to communicate with the teachers?" the young scholar asked him.
"No, I have something else to do. Let's talk again later."
Su Xia smiled and shook his head. He had to take advantage of this rare personal time to go back to the old base in the Oasis Camp.
He looked up into the distance. The sky was still dark, and two or three stars were vaguely visible.
After saying hello, Su Xia left the area.
He put on a complete black mecha, turned on the armor power, flew into the sky with a bang, and soon disappeared at the end of the vast sky.
Pure flying is very fast. Even if the mecha's energy-saving mode is used, it only takes a few hours to reach the old base.
If you just walk, it will probably take three or four days to walk in the vast mountains and forests.
【Hosting Mode】
Su Xia clicked on the bracelet, selected this mode, and then went offline, allowing this body to fly slowly under the management of the bracelet.
If he encounters any problems, the bracelet will remind him at any time.
The time on Earth is the same, it's already past six in the morning.
“Snoring…”
“Huff…”
The snoring sounds in the dormitory rose and fell, each one louder than the other, like a group of walruses competing for mating.
Su Xia got up from the bed, picked up her phone, opened the chat app and looked at the message.
Many strangers added him, and most of the notes were "game friends".
He found the names of "Bing Lei", "North", "Broken Sword", "Hongyan" and others, and clicked to agree one by one.
In the dormitory group, the head of the dormitory, Yu Wenshuxue, left him a message: "Brother Su, don't forget the interview tomorrow afternoon and the party in the evening."
This sentence was left last night and the interview will be this afternoon.
Today is the weekend.
Su Xia patted his head and almost forgot about it.
Ever since he started playing games, he no longer paid attention to what day of the week it was, and he never went to the library again. Even when the teacher called the roll in class, he had to ask someone else to go.
From a normal person's perspective, he is a bad boy who is addicted to games.
Su Xia got out of bed and planned to go to the cafeteria to have breakfast.
But before he left, he saw two bouquets of red flowers on his table.
Next to the two bouquets of flowers was a note in the crooked handwriting of my roommate Li Defu: "Brother Su, a freshman asked me to give you the flowers. The number below is her contact information. She is very pretty. You can do whatever you want (it's said that none of us brothers are single)."
“…”
Su Xia found an empty 2.5L beverage bottle in the dormitory, tore off the outer packaging, took out a pair of scissors and cut it into two pieces.
Then he turned on the faucet, filled a transparent half-bottle with tap water, placed the two bouquets of flowers in it, and finally placed it on the windowsill.
The dormitory has always been dull. My roommates only play games and sleep. It would be nice to have some colors to add some life.
After doing all this, Su Xia put on her coat, put on her headphones, and walked out the door.
He was about to choose two songs when he unexpectedly discovered that he had not read a few text messages.
One of the text messages was a money transfer message.
His personal bank card received a transfer of more than 100,000 yuan, with the note "Monthly bonus from Bikini Bottom Studio".
Several roommates had already registered the name of Bikini Bottom Studio, so it would be shown when transferring money, and this month's bonus had reached six figures.
In fact, if it was just the six of them sharing the revenue, they could get more money from the game.
However, the director took into consideration the funds needed to build the alliance in the future, so he set aside a portion of the funds as public funds.
The same went for the rest of the alliance's studio teams, some contributed more, some contributed less, but all of them more or less put out a sum of money as public funds.
When Su Xia saw the transfer information, she felt a little surprised.
He wasn't surprised by the 100,000 yuan. After all, he knew the monthly turnover of the pharmacy. He was just surprised that "Bikki Bottom Studio, these six words were not registered by others in advance..."
After dinner, Su Xia returned to the dormitory.
It was already past seven in the morning, and the brothers in the dormitory were still sleeping.
He glanced at the chat messages from last night and found that they had been chatting until after four in the morning. They must have slept until noon, had lunch, and then rushed to the Blizzard Company building in the city center for an interview.
Su Xia returned to the bed, pulled the curtains, and lay down steadily.
【start up】
Press the switch of the bracelet and you will feel the familiar electric current.
Su Xia's eyes went dark, his body felt light, and a suction force came from behind him, as if his soul was sucked into a time and space tunnel.
After waking up, he was still in the mecha. Nothing happened during the time when the bracelet was managed. This body was flying quickly in the sky wearing the mecha.
“Huff…”
The wind outside the mecha was blowing loudly.
A ray of light has appeared on the horizon of this world.
Dawn has arrived.
Before long, the warm morning light spread from the end of the horizon to the mountains.
A light golden light swept across the mountains and jungles, illuminating the pure black mecha, making the mecha seem to be flying in a golden passage.
At around ten o'clock in the morning, Su Xia saw the old base of the oasis camp from afar.
Outside the base, countless novice players were diligently chopping down ground rats.
“Crack! Crack!”
"Damned rat, come and die!"
Many players who were not used to the VR experience were played around by the ground rat, felt dizzy and almost vomited on the spot.
The area around this camp is the best place for players of level 1-15 to level up.
Further outside is the leveling area for players of levels 15-30, where medium-level monsters such as "Jungle Mutated Boar", "Steel-back Pangolin", "Evil Goblin", and "Bloodthirsty Jungle Wolf" appear.
The areas further out can only be explored by top players at this stage.
Keep walking out, you can walk out of the jungle and see the vast wilderness, and the wilderness is full of high-level monsters. Even an inconspicuous little snake may take the player's life.
When all members of the Oasis Camp evacuated, each organization left behind a small number of people to be in charge of communications.
After that, the old base became the camp's bridgehead to the outside world.
The Beifeng Organization also left people behind, and the two brothers Mo Zheng and Mo Zhan were responsible for liaison during this period.
"These two guys really know how to enjoy themselves..."
Su Xia saw the two brothers from a distance.
The two of them were lying at the door of the North Wind Organization's old base, leisurely basking in the warm morning sun.
Around the two of them, there were seven or eight players over level 30. Some were massaging their shoulders, some were patting their backs, and some were making tea for them.
"Brother Mo, how is it? Are you comfortable?" A player who was massaging his shoulders asked with a smile, his tone full of flattery.
"Hmm... not bad."
Mo Zheng raised his eyebrows, shook his shoulders, and his face was full of satisfaction.
The player showed joy on his face, and then asked: "Brother Mo, when can I join the Beifeng organization? I have admired Boss Beifeng for a long time. In our world, there are legends about the boss everywhere, and I want to meet him in person."
"Don't be impatient, young man. You can't rush things."
“Yes, yes.”
The man responded twice and continued to massage Mo Zheng's shoulders, just as if he was doing a task.
The two brothers did not treat them badly. Although they did not guarantee to accept them into the North Wind Organization, they did give them some good weapons, which were enough for them to dominate the wild monster area for a while.
It is normal for these players to want to meet Su Xia, because they can learn a key skill called "Titanium Affinity" from Su Xia.
This is a passive skill. You will gain extra titanium particles every time you kill a monster.
Among the large number of players, only the first group of players who arrived at the oasis camp, that is, the players who followed together to defeat the Zerg swarm, learned this skill.
Players who come after that will have no place to learn.
This skill didn't have much effect in the early stages, but in recent times, its effect has gradually become apparent.
The first batch of players in the Oasis Camp have always occupied the first echelon of mainstream players, and their level has never dropped.
The current world-ranked player is in the Oasis Camp.
The player's name is Lin Shan, and he is already level 41.
There are many legends about this "first player" on the forum. Some say that he was the first player to enter the oasis camp, triggering unexpected rewards and having a hidden affinity bonus in the NPC camp.
Some people also say that he is the only player disciple accepted by Commander Beifeng, and he has many skills to kill monsters quickly.
Many people asked Lin Shan about this in his forum account, but Lin Shan only responded with four simple words: "I'm lucky."
Others may not know, but Lin Shan knows that he is indeed lucky.
In the early days of following Su Xia, he gained a lot of benefits.
During this period, as the leader of the one hundred trainee players in the Beifeng organization, he always ensured that the entire team's level was at the forefront of the first echelon.
He led everyone to open up new land, explore new maps, and defeat various BOSS-level creatures. He was conscientious and responsible, and even the two brothers Mo Zheng and Mo Zhan were deeply impressed by him.
"That guy named Lin Shan works very hard and is brave enough to take risks. He has won the recognition of the commander." Mo Zheng took a sip of tea and said, "Since you want to join the Beifeng Organization, you can go and talk to him more."
"We've talked about it, but Brother Lin said he has no other options and will only recruit 100 people now."
"Um……"
One hundred people, this is a fixed number.
If Su Xia doesn't speak up, no one in the Beifeng organization has the right to expand the recruitment.
After all, players are not from this world, they are very unstable, and they are prone to become greedy like Sijidao.
"By the way, why doesn't the commander come back?" a player asked, "Could he have forgotten about this place and is concentrating on running the new base?"
"No, the commander is just too busy lately."
The two brothers Mo Zheng and Mo Zhan knew what happened at the new base, but since it involved confidential information, they would not tell the undead from the other world.
Therefore, even Lin Shan didn't know what exactly happened.
In the team of one hundred players led by Lin Shan, someone also raised the same question.
"Brother Lin, do you think Boss Beifeng has forgotten about us?" a player asked when they returned to the camp to repair their equipment.
"Don't think too much!" Lin Shan wiped his long sword, "Didn't those two NPCs say that the commander is very busy recently?"
In fact, Lin Shan himself was not sure.
The only thing he could do was to lead the team as best as possible and wait for Su Xia to appear again.
At this moment, in the distant forest, a player suddenly shouted: "Look, what a big eagle!"
"No, it's a robot!"
"Fuck! The mechanical tribe is attacking. Prepare to surrender!"
"Fuck, are you French?"
“…”
Su Xia was flying too high and was completely black, looking like a small black dot from a distance.
After descending a little, the players were able to see his general appearance. Many new players thought that the mechanical race was attacking them.
They had only been in the game for a short time and were not yet ready to be drawn into a war of races.
"No...it's not the mechanical clan, it's the Commander Beifeng in the promotional video!" someone suddenly shouted.
"What? It's really him?"
Hearing this, some people looked up in surprise, while others silently put down the small white flags in their hands.
When Su Xia flew closer, everyone could see clearly.
It's not a mechanical family, but a set of black mecha.
"It's him! It's him! It's him!"
Countless cheers were soon heard around the camp, and many people ran towards the center of the camp. Some players didn't even want to kill the monsters they had just killed.
Everyone knew that this person would not have come here for nothing and must have come with a purpose.
Is he here to recruit new people?
Can I learn skills from him?
With these thoughts in mind, the players quickly rushed over, and the area around the camp soon became crowded. Only an area in front of the old base of the North Wind Organization was still empty.
“Buzz——”
Su Xia adjusted the power of the mecha and dropped from the sky at an extremely fast speed, landing like a superhero.
