“This is a very rare profession!”
"How are you going to prove it?"
The bald middle-aged man looked at Roger seriously.
Roger said cheerfully:
"Do you have a shooting range here?"
The bald man nodded and said:
"certainly."
Roger then said:
"Will you reimburse me for the Primordial Stones that were lost in the shooting?"
The bald man hesitated for a moment:
"Can."
"Then I have no problem."
Roger casually placed a handful of "Silent Justice" in front of him.
The bald man's eyes lit up.
…
In the underground shooting range.
The sound of gunfire, "Bang bang bang", rang out very quickly, like the rapid beats of drums, and was completed in 10 seconds.
A slightly pungent smell spread.
That is a manifestation of insufficient energy of the primordial stone.
At the shooting range.
The 12 moving targets were all shot through the bull's eye.
"What a fast shooting!"
The middle-aged man exclaimed:
"I didn't expect that there is a quick shooter in Quinan. The city lord should be happy again."
"For a newcomer like you who has the heritage of Covas, Drovas is the most suitable for you. Don't worry about the Primordial Stones. We will at least give you two sets of Rough-grade Primordial Stones."
Speaking of this.
He asked with some doubt:
"Why not use tactical gloves?"
"Shooting quickly hurts your hands, doesn't it?"
The real reason, of course, was that Roger didn't find the tactical gloves that matched the Gunner.
But on the surface.
He just said lightly:
"That would affect my draw speed."
The bald man was immediately filled with awe.
"Everything is prepared for speed... Is this the principle of a quick shooter?"
"His true strength is definitely not as simple as the Lv47 filled in on the form."
Just think of this.
His attitude was much more enthusiastic:
"Let's go up."
"It still requires some paperwork, but you'll have your Drovas resident card in hand soon."
"Before that, I would like to ask for your opinion..."
"Which club do you prefer?"
"Club?"
Roger was surprised.
The bald man nodded and said:
“This is a necessary step to becoming a resident of Drovas.”
"Everyone has to join the club."
"Walk."
"I'll tell you in detail."
…
In the reception room.
The bald middle-aged man talked freely.
With his enthusiastic introduction.
Roger finally understood what the club was all about.
Drovas is not only a semi-enclosed city.
Its internal operating structure is also quite unique.
The management here is quite strict.
Various "clubs" undertake the vast majority of social functions and absorb all residents.
Everyone must join a lodge and work under the organization of lodge leaders at all levels .
Because each club is assigned different functions.
So people's inclinations will also be different.
Newcomers to Drovas usually have no choice.
Only those who come to invest with artistic talent like Roger will be given preferential treatment.
certainly.
There is a premise in this -
He must submit relevant information about the Quickshooter to the "Knowledge Club".
In this process.
He can get a lot of benefits and a considerable amount of Starship Coins.
The latter is the official currency of Drovas.
You can also buy things at other gathering places of the Covas people.
If Roger wants to learn the skills of an ammunition expert, he will have to spend a lot of starship coins.
It is worth mentioning.
The welfare of the residents of Drovas is quite good.
Three meals a day are provided by the club’s cafeteria. As long as you don’t waste food, it’s free to eat as much as you want.
Medical care is also free.
As for the education level.
Newborns at Delovas undergo rounds of training and screening starting at the age of 4.
This process is said to be very rigorous.
Many people can’t stand the option of opting out.
Fortunately, the losers at least still have the right to live a normal life in the city.
But those who succeed can join the "Castle Lord Guard".
That’s the inner circle of the city.
This can be seen from the fact that the leaders of almost all large clubs are also members of the city lord's guards.
Over the past few decades.
The number of the city lord's guards is expanding at a lukewarm pace.
These people's values ​​are very different from those of ordinary people.
According to the bald middle-aged man.
Like the city lord, they have the lofty ideal of driving Drovas out of Quinan and looking for the "second hometown written by fate" in the mythology of Covas.
…
"In short, you must be respectful when you meet the city lord's guards."
"Newcomers like you who have a rare profession can also consider joining the City Lord's Guard, but the assessment will be very strict..."
The bald man spoke with a dry mouth.
He didn't even bother to drink water, so he slapped a list of clubs in front of Roger and gestured:
“Once it’s confirmed, it can’t be changed.”
"This is the rule set by the city lord."
Roger was secretly amazed when he heard this.
He was quite interested in the famous city lord.
It must be very difficult to build such a unique society from scratch.
He immediately took the list.
I scanned it quickly.
In the categories of "Monster Clearance/City Defense/Underground Garrison", Roger carefully read the relevant information.
final.
He pointed to a club called "Iris" and said:
"That's it."
The bald man took a look and said in surprise:
“This is just a small club…”
"I just like the small ones."
Roger smiled.
The bald man nodded.
Started doing some paperwork.
Roger opened the information of the Iris Club again.
The first page of information.
The information of the head of this club is marked in detail.
…
"Eve/female/40 years old/outsider..."
…
certainly.
The most important part in Roger's eyes is the personal introduction.
Eve's occupation column reads "Superb Warlock".
The marital status is shown as "Married".
This was exactly what Roger wanted.
If you want to investigate the secrets of this city for the queen, you have to enter the core power layer of the city.
This is not an easy task.
Roger had to try some unusual paths.
Except for the hand of stupidity and bluffing.
He also has "Heroism" and "Wife Killer".
Eve is his best entry point.
Through her.
Roger should have had the opportunity to contact her husband——
Yes.
His goal from the beginning to the end was just to get close to Eve's husband.
Under the category of "Monster Cleanup".
There are a total of 9 clubs of various sizes.
Roger discovered that eight of them were headed by members of the city lord's guard.
Only the Iris Club is led by an outsider.
That explains it.
Her husband is most likely a member of the city lord's guard!
"Detours are troublesome..."
"Why isn't there a specialty that can increase attraction to people of the same sex as well?"
"That way it will be much more convenient when doing similar tasks..."
While waiting.
Roger thought idly.
…
Half an hour later.
The bald man finally finished the paperwork.
Then he took Roger around the building for most of the day.
After going through a series of registration, inspection, review, polygraph and other procedures.
Roger finally got his resident card and successfully joined the "Iris" club.
This is indeed a small club.
There are only 2 "carriages" at the station.
There are 4 conference halls, more than 60 single rooms and some other functional facilities in the carriage.
After Roger joined.
It was warmly welcomed by Eve and some female colleagues.
That day.
Eve personally took Roger to familiarize himself with the club and the surrounding area, and helped him submit the "Quickshooter" career information.
the next day.
Roger received 100 Starship Coins, which made other members of the club jealous.
Some people deliberately excluded him.
There are also those who try to please him on purpose.
For these people.
Roger chose to ignore them all.
His job was to follow Eve and regularly clean out the monsters on the 20th to 24th floors of the "Deep Pit Mine" - he came at a good time, as the Iris Club had just completed a round of monster cleanup tasks and was now on a day off.
Roger, who was extremely curious about the monsters in the deep pit mine, could only follow suit helplessly.
What's even more hateful is.
After that day, Eve was nowhere to be found in the club.
This left Roger with no choice but to try other attractive women.
And in this process.
He learned a lot about clearing monsters and deep pit mines.
His colleagues told him.
Their job is to ensure the safety of the workers while mining.
In fact.
The prosperity of Drovas was largely built on these laborers.
In that bottomless deep pit mine.
There is a mineral vein that stretches for who knows how many miles.
Drovas's "mining vehicle" can only collect the shallow part.
Most of the original stone mines.
They were all dug out from deep pits bit by bit by laborers without resident status.
Saw this scene at the edge of the pit.
Roger then realized what was going on with those ragged men in Roddick's caravan.
If it's just shipping.
Considering the relationship between the old man and Drovas, it would be enough to bring a storage item with enough space.
It seems now.
Those people will be sent to the deep pit and become new laborers.
Roger was sure.
The old man is definitely not the only one who has cooperated with Delovas.
God knows how many workers are sent into the pit every year!
…
To this.
Roger could only shake his head and remain silent.
After entering Drovas.
He is quite low-key.
Several times when he stood on the edge of the pit, he wanted to jump in directly to see what kind of monster was underneath.
Fortunately, he managed to restrain himself in the end.
But the city's harsh class divisions really left him speechless.
He had wanted to quickly acquire the knowledge of the "codebreaker" and ammunition expert.
As a result, I asked around.
These things cannot be obtained in the "UFO zone" where he is.
At least it has to be a "white elephant area" to have a chance.
And want to enter the white elephant area.
You have to make enough contributions to Drovas to obtain the qualification of "honorary resident".
Roger wanted to make a contribution, and he couldn't wait to go to the mine to hunt monsters.
But the big sister was so good at it that she disappeared.
Other colleagues are also slacking off every day.
He could only waste his time along with them.
…
On the ninth day.
Roger stood on the edge of the pit and looked down.
Suddenly.
A haggard woman appeared out of nowhere and said to him:
“They dug too deep.”
"The God of the Mist will punish them."
"You deserve to die too."
Having said this.
Suddenly there was a sound of air jet in the sky!
Two "Sentinel" constructs dropped from the sky.
Two laser beams swept by.
The woman instantly turned into ashes.
The sentry flew away leisurely.
Only Roger was left standing by the deep pit in a daze.
"This city... is too weird, isn't it?"
He looked at the few figures passing by:
"They didn't respond?"
"Or maybe I've gotten used to it..."
Roger had no answers.
Ever since entering the Mist Shadow Mountains, his perception has been in an intermittent state.
This made him very uncomfortable.
If he hadn't been thinking about the treasures here, he would have run away long ago!
…
The 26th day since joining the Iris Club.
In a clean single room.
Roger read today's "Book of Experience" carefully.
Then he lay back on the bed.
There was numbness in his eyes.
“It’s so boring!”
"or……"
"How about making a few more tinder bags?"
This thought just came to my mind.
There was a loud knock on the door!
"Urgent mission!"
"Be ready for battle and gather in Hall 1 within 5 minutes!"
"It might be a monster disturbance!"
Roger's eyes lit up.
That's Eve's voice!
He even had the urge to burst into tears!
He has waited for this moment for too long!
Bang.
He rushed out the door.
He almost bumped into Eve's plump body!
"You...why are you so fast?"
The charming sorceress's chest heaved, and she was obviously frightened by Roger.
"I'm used to being ready to fight at all times."
Roger suppressed his inner excitement.
A blush flashed across Eve's face.
Then he covered his mouth and laughed:
“That’s what newcomers are like.”
"Wait for me in the lobby. Remember to bring all your equipment, including the lens..."
"This time the monster riot seems to have traces of the evil crow."
…
15 minutes later.
All the members of the Iris Club gathered and stood on the edge of the deep pit.
Waiting for the "transport plane" to pick you up.
At this moment.
Roger vaguely heard the sound of war drums coming from underground.
The sound came wave after wave.
It seems like countless armies are marching quickly!
"take it easy."
"They are just a group of gnolls. They can't cause much trouble."
Eve said soothingly.
Roger nodded.
on the data bar.
…
"Signs of a small battle detected"
…
"The primary campaign mode (Revenge of the Jackals) has been opened."
"Optional camp: Drovas/Underground Gnoll Kingdom"
…
"What's the choice?"
"Even if I'm willing to backstab my colleagues, they won't give me the attributes."
Roger was about to take action.
At this moment.
Another red message slid across the data bar.
…
「Click to view content」
…
"etc!"
"What's up with this faction assignment... and this name?"
Roger's heart was shocked!
“Boom!”
A machine similar to a gyroplane flew up from the bottom of the pit.
A cold voice came:
"Everyone aboard."
"Whoever delays the battle will be killed!"
A group of people hurried up.
…
