Chapter 304: Room Allocation and Free Money

"Hello, Secretary Cui!"

Wang Tao shook hands with Cui Sheng.

"I've heard of your name before, Mr. Wang, and I've always wanted to visit you, but I've been delayed by many things. Please forgive me, Mr. Wang. Today I finally meet you in person!"

Cui Sheng smiled brightly.

"Oh? Have you heard of me?"

"Of course! Mr. Wang is a famous awakener! I've heard of him for a long time!"

Cui Sheng showed a hint of pride on his face. It seemed that knowing Wang Tao's name was something to be proud of.

This was the first time that Wang Tao was flattered like this, and he was a little uncomfortable.

"Well, what are you doing..."

"Oh, sorry, sorry! I was too excited when I saw you... My name is Cui Sheng, and I'm a secretary of the Municipal Office. I'm here on behalf of the Municipal Office..."

Cui Sheng explained quickly.

Wang Tao suddenly realized.

The Municipal Office is the highest administrative agency in Changhe Base City, and all matters in the entire base are basically handled by the Municipal Office.

The Municipal Office is equivalent to the government in the past, representing the entire Changhe Base City.

Cui Sheng came on behalf of the City Hall, which was equivalent to the official of the entire Changhe Base City.

"Secretary Cui, Captain Duan, please come in!"

"Hey! You too!"

Wang Tao walked in with the group of people.

There were three people coming with Cui Sheng, who looked like his followers. Seeing that Cui Sheng didn't introduce them, Wang Tao didn't ask any more questions.

After seeing so many beauties around Wang Tao, Cui Sheng just took a quick glance at the appearance of these women, remembered them firmly in his mind, and then immediately turned his head and didn't look at them anymore.

As for Wei Zhenguo and other big men, Cui Sheng greeted them very politely and kindly.

However, when he saw the lightning, Cui Sheng was startled.

Duan Xuchang didn't tell him that there was such a big mutant beast here! This military dog ​​is so big, it must be level three!

Cui Sheng's eyes flashed with envy.

Wang Tao looked at Cui Sheng calmly.

[HP: 1000/1000]

[Impurities in the body: 5%]

Wang Tao was a little surprised that Cui Sheng was an ordinary person who was not even at the first level.

Can't afford the crystal core? What position is this city hall secretary? Why does it feel not good!

But there are 5% impurities in his body, which means that he has probably fused 10 crystal cores.

10 crystal cores failed to become an awakener?

It can only be said that either the crystal core is too rubbish or his luck is too bad. Of course, it may be both.

"Thank you, thank you!"

After inviting Cui Sheng to sit down, Nie Siyan immediately went to pour water. Cui Sheng hurriedly thanked him, then took out a tablet and a pen and handed them to Wang Tao very politely.

"Mr. Wang, I came here to register your identity this time. Please fill it out. Only if you are registered in the system can you be considered an official member of the base city..."

Wang Tao took the tablet, which had a form on it.

The content of the form is very simple, without so many fancy things, just name, age, gender, expertise, and level of superpowers.

It's just a simple personnel registration, there's no need for him as a secretary to make a trip, right? Wang Tao felt that he must have another purpose.

Sure enough, when Wang Tao was filling it out, Cui Sheng said again:

"Mr. Wang, after coming to our Changhe Base City, do you have any ideas or demands? You know, our base respects talents very much..."

Wang Tao raised his eyebrows, then smiled and said:

"I just came here, and I'm not very familiar with it. How about introducing it?"

"Of course!"

Cui Sheng nodded immediately, and then immediately began to explain.

"According to our past experience, these powerful superpowers came to our base..."

Cui Sheng, or the City Hall, felt that Wang Tao, a fourth-level superpower, and a group of third-level superpowers came to Changhe Base City, and it was highly likely that they would not be willing to be an ordinary person and live a stable life. But it is not completely impossible, there have been cases before.

Cui Sheng came here just to hint at Wang Tao's thoughts.

If Wang Tao and his party really want to live an ordinary life... then he will definitely find a way to dissuade them! After all, this is a fourth-level superpower! With such strong strength, it would be a waste to be willing to become an ordinary person! You have to play a role and make some contributions to the base!

Of course, the base will definitely not take labor for free, and will also give a lot of benefits.

Cui Sheng said that after those foreign superpowers came to the base city, they basically chose three development directions.

The first is to join the legion, join other fighting forces or set up an organization by themselves. This is the most chosen.

The second is to apply for some official positions in the base, which can be simply understood as "base civil servants." The number of people who choose this is the second largest.

The third is to operate some profitable places in the base city, do business, etc.... This is the least chosen. After all, this requires a certain talent, and you can't play these without a little brain.

However, these three development directions have one thing in common that needs to be taken into account, that is, to improve your own strength!

In the end times, strength is the foundation of everything! If there is no strength, everything is a castle in the air and fleeting.

So you must improve your strength!

Cui Sheng wanted to know which direction Wang Tao was planning to develop in, so that the City Hall could provide Wang Tao with some preferential treatment.

Of course, it is not only these three development directions, but also other niche directions. Moreover, these three directions are not independent. As long as you have the ability, you can proceed at the same time. For example, some powerful superpowers not only form teams outside to hunt zombies, but also have part-time jobs in the city hall...

Regarding this issue, Wang Tao will definitely go out to hunt zombies, but it is impossible for him to join the legion. So the only option is to join other forces or form an organization yourself.

So Wang Tao thought for a while and said:

"Let's form a small organization of our own."

Cui Sheng was not surprised by this answer. Most people with superpowers make this choice, preferring to be the head of a chicken rather than the tail of a phoenix.

"Then when you go back to set up an organization, please be sure to notify me and I will help you with all the procedures!"

Cui Sheng immediately patted his chest and said.

"Okay, I'll trouble you then."

Wang Tao smiled and nodded. Since others are willing to help, he will definitely not refuse. And what Cui Sheng meant, the city hall would obviously give him some benefits.

"No trouble, no trouble!"

Cui Sheng waved his hands repeatedly. After Wang Tao finished filling in, he slid the tablet again,

"The last thing is the residence. Our base city is very big, and the survivors in the base are all given houses for free. You and your friends are no exception. Which place do you want to choose?"

Displayed on the tablet is a map of Changhe Base. All marked places are available for selection.

According to the situation in the base, the best location is the central area, and the worst location is naturally the edge.

There is no mark on the edge area, which means Wang Tao cannot choose?

As if seeing Wang Tao's doubts, Cui Sheng quickly explained:

"Although our base is very good in all aspects, there are also some mixed-race houses. In order to avoid disturbing you, I have removed some houses that do not fit your identity. The areas marked now are all relatively high-quality neighbors! Of course, This doesn’t mean that you can’t choose other places, you can choose any place, but I personally don’t recommend it..."

"I see, that's very considerate!"

I have to say that this Cui Sheng is really good at getting things done.

"Where there!"

Cui Sheng waved his hand quickly. In fact, he was not only thinking about Wang Tao, but also thinking about ordinary people. What if Wang Tao chooses a place with a very bad environment, and some people at the bottom of the class anger Wang Tao without knowing how to do it, then Wang Tao will kill him without even trying to reason...

Wang Tao took a general look. Although the areas closer to the city center are better, the houses are getting smaller and smaller... But after all, it is free, so you can't ask for too much.

So Wang Tao chose a compromise place. The house was not too big or too small, and it was not too far or too close to the city center.

After Wang Tao was confirmed, Cui Sheng asked Wei Zhenguo and Ding Yuqin to choose.

"One person per apartment?"

Wang Tao was a little surprised. He also deliberately chose a small courtyard, thinking that it would be convenient for many people, but ended up with one person per person?

"Of course! You and your companions are eligible for free housing."

In fact, normally speaking, Wang Tao can choose at will, but others cannot choose like Wang Tao. After all, there are many third-level superpowers in the base, and these locations are very good. It is still difficult to get these houses for free.

But who asked them to follow Wang Tao? Wang Tao is an awakener! There are only a few awakened ones in the entire base!

Wang Tao is a good friend set by the city hall. It is best to let Wang Tao hold a position in the base and completely become one of his own!

But it was Cui Sheng's first meeting with Wang Tao after all, so he didn't dare to say too much for fear of offending Wang Tao.

For others, working at the base, being an official, and getting a salary is definitely a good thing.

But who knows what Wang Tao thinks. Many powerful people are not willing to be restrained, and their personalities are a bit weird... and they may not be able to see the two of them...

But Cui Sheng did not give up.

He is just a small secretary. Although he works in the city hall, this is not actually a formal position and is considered a temporary job. There are many people like him, and the competition is fierce!

If a person like him who has no power or strength wants to climb up, it is impossible for him to rely on himself alone. He can only think of other ways.

The arrival of Wang Tao gave him a glimmer of hope...

"Tsk tsk, this welfare package is pretty good!"

Wang Tao smiled and shook his head.

Soon, everyone had finished choosing, and most of them were near the house chosen by Wang Tao. Even Lightning has his own set.

"You don't have to make a decision now, you can go and see it on the ground."

Cui Sheng reminded him thoughtfully.

"No, I've already seen the photos, that's it."

Wang Tao waved his hand.

If the house doesn't work, you can just replace it later. It was free stuff anyway and he was too lazy to bother with it.

"good!"

Cui Sheng clicked to confirm and entered this information into the main system. Then he took two boxes from the person behind him.

"Mr. Wang, this is a meeting gift prepared by our city hall for you and your friends. Please check it."

Cui Sheng opened both boxes. Inside the first box were more than ten black cards. Inside the second box were a dozen things that looked like watches.

There is a note underneath the card, and there is a long series of numbers on the card. A bit like a bank card?

"This is a crystal coin storage card, or crystal coin card for short. In fact, it is the former bank card. There are crystal coins stored in it. It can be used on any card swiping machine and information watch in the base. You can also go The bank can exchange crystal cores of equal value. However, due to some changes in the crystal core, the exchange ratio has fluctuated... Of course, you can still use it normally. "

Good guy, I didn’t expect this city hall to be direct enough to send them money directly...

Wang Tao was very surprised, but this was good. After all, he might not be able to use other things, but the crystal coins could definitely be used.

Cui Sheng pointed to his watch again and said:

"This is an information watch, which will record your personal information, account and other data. The information watch is connected to the network in our base and can carry out activities such as communication, information release, and crystal currency transactions. But the prerequisite is that there is a network. That is to say, it only works within the scope of our base. If you leave the base, you will enter the offline state, and many functions will be restricted. Oh, and the information watch will charge a fixed fee of 10 crystal coins every month..."

After listening to Cui Sheng's explanation, Wang Tao looked at the information watch. This watch has a rough shape and is a bit silly, but it is very good with these functions.

Then there is the crystal coin card, which is similar to the previous bank card. Each card has a name and specific information written on it. Even Lightning has a card.

Wang Tao briefly looked at the note. Most people's notes, including Lightning's, had 1,000 crystal coins written on them. Lan Yulian's note said 5,000 crystal coins. Wang Tao's note said 20,000 crystal coins.

Cui Sheng explained from the side:

"According to the standards of our base city, first-level superpower users can get 10 crystal coins as subsidy when joining the base for the first time; second-level superpower users can get 100 crystal coins; third-level superpower users can get 1,000 crystal coins; and fourth-level superpower users can get 1,000 crystal coins. You can get 10,000 crystal coins... If you have other identities, there will be some additional bonuses, such as being the leader of the force, saving many survivors, etc. "

"I see."

Wang Tao nodded.

The city hall is quite good in this regard, but I don't know what the purchasing power of 1 crystal coin is.

However, judging from the envious expressions of Cui Sheng and Duan Xuchang next to him, these crystal coins should still be quite valuable.

"Mr. Wang, the things have been delivered, so I won't disturb you. This is my contact information. If you need anything, you can inform me directly. I will be there at any time. As for your residence, since no one has been living there, I We will send someone to clean it inside and out, which may take a day. I will contact you after the cleaning is completed.”

Cui Sheng handed over a business card with a series of numbers on it. This number is how you can contact me using your watch.

"Okay, please. Walk slowly."

Wang Tao stood up.

"You stay!"

Duan Xuchang sent Cui Sheng out of the door, then came back and said to Wang Tao:

"As I said, our base is still very generous! The exchange of crystal coins and crystal cores has fluctuated a lot now, and it's hard to say exactly. If we look at the previous exchange rate, 10,000 crystal coins can be exchanged for two or three level four coins. Crystal core!”

Wang Tao was a little surprised. The purchasing power of this crystal coin was higher than he imagined!

Counting Lightning, their group totaled 17 people. 15 of them received 1,000 crystal coins, Lan Yulian received 5,000 crystal coins, and he received 20,000 crystal coins. This adds up to a total of 40,000 gold coins. So this is equivalent to about 10 fourth-order crystal nuclei?

"Really generous!"

Wang Tao smiled and nodded.

He planned to go back and see if these crystal coins could be exchanged for fourth-order crystal cores. He was still short of fourth-order crystal cores. It would be nice if I could exchange it for a fourth-order crystal core, but it seems unlikely. If I have this thing and use it myself, I guess no one will take it out...

"By the way, this Cui Sheng is a secretary in the city hall. Although the benefits are pretty good, he is not a formal employee. He must still want to continue to climb up. If he can serve you well, he will let you go to the city hall. If he holds an official position, he will gain great benefits..."

"No wonder..."

Wang Tao said, "How come this person has such a low profile? He really wants something!"

"In fact, I personally suggest that you go to the city hall to take a position, or you can take a job. If nothing else, at least you can get an extra salary and make some contributions to the base, haha! Of course, that's not to say You can take up a position as soon as you join the base, but it still takes some time to assess..."

"Okay, I'll think about it."

Wang Tao was afraid of trouble, but after all, this was Duan Xuchang's good intention.

It is now noon, Wang Tao left Duan Xuchang to have a meal here. Duan Xuchang didn't refuse either.

After he completed the mission to rescue the Redbud base, he had a long vacation that he could arrange as he pleased. While he was entertaining Wang Tao these days, he could also relax and unwind.

After the meal, Duan Xuchang called a minibus and took Wang Tao and his group for a walk around the area.

Now that he had money in his hand, Wang Tao originally planned to spend some money, but after looking around, he felt that there was nothing good and nothing worth spending money on.

"There are a lot of things for sale in the center of the base, even powered armor. But it's too expensive..."

Duan Xuchang explained to Wang Tao.

Wang Tao's eyes lit up, and he was about to ask Duan Xuchang where he could buy powered armor. After Cui Sheng cleaned the house there, when he moved there, he stopped by the city center to see if he could get a set of power armor to research!

The group walked around outside for an afternoon. Duan Xuchang was going to take Wang Tao out for a walk after dinner. After all, Changhe Base has a nightlife, and it is very rich.

But suddenly someone contacted Duan Xuchang, and it seemed to be urgent.

"Sorry, I have something to do and I have to leave first."

"It's okay, you go ahead."

After Wang Tao sent Duan Xuchang away, he looked at everyone and said:

"After dinner, let's go out for a walk by ourselves? I heard there are some exciting performances here..."

"Okay!"

Everyone nodded.

They haven't been so relaxed for a long time.

After dinner, several people came to the street, ready to follow Wang Tao to watch the exciting performances.

At this time, several people saw a red color appear in the dark sky in the distance.

"What is that?"
