Returning from the abyss

Chapter 240 Rosa Cross
Lu Ning's choice was the same as before.

"Obligation, I want to know what it takes to join this organization."

"You have to understand that things after a turning point are often more important than before...so this will virtually increase the status of welfare in your heart." Li Mingdeng reminded.

"I can balance it out."

"That's very good. First of all, join the Rosicrucian. As I said before, you will become our backbone. This does not only refer to the aspect of combat effectiveness. If you need it, through the approval and recommendation of some members, You will get a management and operation position like mine. In other words, members of the Rosary Cross must always maintain their own qualifications confirmed by the organization, including world knowledge, tactics, scene experience, force, and distribution center organization categories. Qualification checks to confirm that our legion can still be called a 'legion' even if it is alone."

Lu Ning nodded.

"Of course, there are also a large number of non-serving members of the Rose Cross, and you have the right to choose. The second obligation that everyone must fulfill is to turn in the points after each scene. For the second level, soul healing is deducted, and it exceeds [-] points For the part, we will charge [-]% of the Silver Star Club and [-]% of the points of the Rosicrucian Club as membership fees."

"Taxes?" Lu Ning easily understood the meaning of this entry.

"If we regard our organization as a country, we can think of it this way. At the third level, this ratio will be increased to 11.00% for members of the Silver Star Society and 15.00% for members of the Rosicrucian Society."

"The high level will continue to improve, and the gap will widen?"

"Yes, although the rate sounds high, but in terms of second-order income, even if you complete each scene with full marks and no soul pollution, the points you need to pay after clearing each scene are only 630."

This once expensive amount is no longer a sky-high price in the eyes of Lu Ning today, and even 1% of the soul pollution cannot be cured.

"why?"

"If you can understand it as taxation, then it's easy to understand." Li Mingdeng laughed, "The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. For high-level tourists, points are no longer important after previous survival tests. Now, people at the first level will worry about the [-] registration fee, and even a newcomer who has just risen to the fifth level has the savings to challenge the return scene for more than five times, this is the difference."

"Then I can ask, what you need to pay for the fifth order..."

"The members of the Rosa Cross at the fifth level need to pay 30.00% two. As for those in the core organization, I don't know much about it. I can only say that nearly half of the points will be charged to the public account of the organization. In addition, there are no members of the Silver Star Society at the fifth level. "

"Because everyone who can reach that level has been promoted." Lu Ning caught up quickly this time.

"Yes."

"Will everyone accept such a high rate?"

"This was formulated by the founders of Tier [-] and Tier [-], just like you now, if you don't accept it, you can choose not to join our organization." Li Mingdeng smiled, "This kind of thing is not worth wasting so much time, I think you're more concerned with the third obligation—command."

That's right, aside from everything else, what Lu Ning cares about is whether her development will be hindered by the core of an organization.

"When you join the Rosicrucian Legion, you will get the right to choose for the first time. We are very clear that the rules of the distribution center will make it impossible to fight even a war like an ancient war, so large-scale militarized unified training is here There is no practicality at all. Instead, it is a personalized development path. Believe me, Lu Ning, I have seen no less than a hundred people who have questions like yours, and three legions specially prepared for this type of people Bumblebees, Sea Serpents, and Pterosaurs, in short, Elite Assassin Squad Forces, Special Combat Individual Operations Forces, and All-Adaptive Decapitation Forces."

Hearing this, Lu Ning realized that she didn't know enough about many things.

She has never had a specific understanding of how a large-scale orderly organization operates, and the organizational structure of the power pyramid type constructed by only imagination is actually not common in the distribution center.Even if she only got a glimpse of the narration from Li Mingdeng's mouth, she suddenly realized how huge the overall structure of the Silver Star Society, the Rose Cross, and the core organization is.

"I won't reveal too much now, all the orders you accept will come from one to three dispatch officers who are directly under you, and they have a strict hierarchy, and there will never be two dispatch officers of the same level as yours. In the case of superiors, you only need to execute orders strictly according to the order of priority, and once the order is questioned, you also have an appeal channel belonging to your legion, which will ensure that the appeal information is directly sent to a certain member of the fifth-tier core organization. One member. But remember, just as orders are not dispatched too frequently, so are your opportunities for appeal not infinite."

"The cycle is probably..."

"The dispatch cycle is about once every six months at the distribution center." Li Mingdeng immediately gave a detailed answer, "As for the distribution center, if calculated every year, second-tier members have three chances to appeal, which is enough."

"Understood, next... benefits, I think this is what you want to talk about the most?" Lu Ning smiled.

Li Mingdeng nodded proudly: "We have the best environment of any large organization."

"After members of the second rank join the Rosicrucian, they will receive two months of combat tactics training, two months of pan-world knowledge training, and two months of special skill training opportunities. You can apply to the organization at any time, and you can even apply for Time can also be separated. All training funds are paid by the organization, which corresponds to the first obligation to ensure that each member has the quality and welfare conditions provided by the organization.”

Lu Ning, who has participated in extremely expensive training, of course knows what the price is. In comparison, the points paid by the second-order each time through the scene can be said to be instantly repaid.

"Secondly, members of the Rosicrucian will have the authority to organize archives at the same level, and the scenes below the second level have detailed records of more than 100 billion copies. Although the distribution center will never reuse the scenes that have appeared, the past materials still have a lot of information. High reference value. At the same time, you can also apply for direct guidance from members of the first rank higher than yourself three times, and the other party can be selected by you, but if you choose a member who is too popular, you may have to queue up." Li Mingdeng said here , Thinking of something interesting, "Several members of the core organization almost changed this rule because of this."

Lu Ning also laughed.

"And the third is action subsidies. Corresponding to some special order requirements, compensation will be given accordingly. Since the points cannot be transferred directly, the organization will provide some material compensation. There is a list of about [-] pages, and you can just join it See. In addition, I won’t tell you in detail about basic benefits such as free psychological counseling, comrade-in-arms application, promotion planning, promotion team formation, development advice, and death compensation, but I can give you an explanation.”

"I can only say that even if I understand the meaning of the turning point, my heart is moved now." Lu Ning took the instruction booklet from Li Mingdeng's hand, and the previous troubles disappeared.

"Then I have lived up to the responsibility of sitting here." Li Mingdeng poured new tea for Lu Ning.

"I thought this everybody was a lone traveler on a path home."

"That's true." Li Mingdeng nodded, "But the gathering of human beings, and a certain period of time, will form civilization, even this place is no exception."

"Your civilization leaps a bit fast."

"That's because you are babies born in this new civilization, and the people who built it all walked through the ruins left by the previous era." Li Mingdeng stood up and drank the tea in the teacup, " When you grow up, you may be interested in learning about the past, but for now, focus on your own path. If you agree to join, there is a certification form belonging to you on the title page of the brochure. Take that to the information center to sign Confirm, and you will become a member of the Rosicrucian."

"Don't need to see you again?"

"We belong to different departments. If we leave here today, we will be just friends in the future." Li Mingdeng smiled.

"One last question, are you of the third rank?" Lu Ning also stood up.

"Yes."

"What's the scene like there?"

Li Mingdeng was silent.

"I can't think of a reason why a third-order member would stay in the second order to do this."

"dusk."

"what?"

"That is the most magnificent evening scene before everything falls into the abyss."

===============
Lu Ning returned to her residence, surrounded by smoke, she really felt like going home for a while.Shu Xingruo and Fujii Xueyin were talking and laughing while cooking food that smelled comforting, but Ning Yeyi was still in the scene and didn't come back.

"Lu Ning?" Shu Xingruo brought a casserole to the yard, just in time to see Lu Ning entering the door.

"Ah... long time no see."

The sense of dislocation in time made Lu Ning a little hesitant. She spent less than a month in the scene, but it seemed like half a year, and it was only seven days here, and Fujii Xueyin was just leaving tomorrow.

"Just right, we can send Xueyin to the information center tomorrow and see how her mission is going." Shu Xingruo greeted the room with a smile.Soon, Fujii Xueyin also walked outside the house with two plates of pastries.

"It's the happiest thing to see you come back safely." She was still a little reserved, but her smile was still so warm, "Let's eat something, we specially made something new."

The two of them coincidentally did not ask Lu Ning what happened in the scene.

During the meal, Lu Ning still couldn't help asking this question.

"Aren't you wondering what I've been through?"

"It can be seen." Shu Xingruo said.

"I can feel it." These were the words of Fujii Xueyin.

Lu Ning choked for a moment.

"We've known each other for a long time, Lu Ning, you are more relaxed here, and you don't deliberately control your expression." Shu Xingruo explained, "Although it looks nothing on the outside, I can feel that you have something more... ...a sense of vicissitudes, or restraint."

"What does that feel like?"

"Overall, it makes people feel very different from when they left. It's not like someone who came back after a long trip, but like... a person who returned to an ordinary life after experiencing an accident or a major historical event. The first order actually has the same feeling, but the difference is not too big." Fujii Xueyin said, "So if you want to talk, we will listen, if you don't ask, we'd better not ask."

These two people really take care of other people's emotions.

"It's not that serious, it's just that things are too dense, and death is too sudden." Lu Ning stared at the hot pot in the middle of the table. There were blue flames dancing in the traditional alcohol stove, which looked like someone jumping. An off-but-reliable companion.

"We will lose more." Fujii Yukine said.

"Yeah." Lu Ning nodded.

"As long as we keep getting to know people, there will always be situations like this. Lu Ning, I have lost my best friend and the only fellow I know in this world." Shu Xingruo gently twirled the white porcelain cup in his hand, "When you realize that there's no one else going back down that road with you again, that horrible feeling of loneliness almost drives you crazy. I really can't imagine how you're going to live in this state in the first place. down."

"Let's rely on remembrance."

"Time will wear down memory, everything will no longer be the same, even the person who misses you can't remember, what can you rely on?" Shu Xingruo sighed, "I may have just realized such a thing, There are still friends like you, but sooner or later we will go farther and farther.”

"Then... rely on growth." Lu Ning raised her head, looked at the bright Milky Way and the gorgeous aurora in the sky, and slowly leaned back on the chair.

"growing up?"

"In this scene, I obtained the identity of a person. That person is an outright villain, the kind of person who doesn't respect life and takes pleasure in wantonly creating pain."

Lu Ning recalled the time when she boarded the train and completely separated from Lu Ying.

"You are not the one who will cry when pushed by me, so I have no interest in you. It's just that you always worry about some meaningless things sometimes."

It was a new experience for Lu Ning to understand the completely different expression on her face.

Lu Ying glanced at the train.

"Your journey seems to continue? Then become stronger."

"Get stronger? What do you want to say? Everything I win is yours."

"Except for experience." Lu Ying crossed her arms, with a displeased expression on her face, "You know what? The first person I bullied was a bully who used to bully the whole class with his strength."

"So you want to say you're doing the right thing?"

"Hahaha! I want to tell you - I don't bully others because I am strong, but I am strong because I bully others. I like that you are willing to show your fangs to the enemy who is obviously stronger than yourself It looks like I’m here to give you a reminder.”

"I don't want this kind of like."

"What does that have to do with you?" Lu Ying turned around and waved her arm casually, "Farewell, Lu Ning. If you don't plan to become a strong man, then prepare to die. At least one of you will die. Isn't it romantic to see the world as a tomb?"
