Returning from the abyss

Chapter 355 Ace
After sailing on the star sea for nine days, the ship anchored at an air port.The gangway was lowered, and the waiters lined up to send the tourists out of the cabin. At this time, there were a few people standing there in the airport, waiting for someone.

Lu Ning also felt the feeling of being welcomed for the first time, but this feeling was only for a moment, and then she had to support Shang Wenxue, who was almost out of breath with excitement, lest she really fall here.

The lights of the airport illuminated the surroundings like daylight. Tong Yan, who had given Lu Ning a task before, stood in the most conspicuous place, and beside him stood two young men, a man and a woman.

Qu Tingchan looks very quiet, very scholarly.The only thing that made him look a little deviant was the long lock of hair on the side of his forehead, with a silver ring tied at the end of it.He was dressed plainly, a fitted black jacket and jeans.The corners of his mouth are always raised upwards, which is a very comfortable smile.

Du Xieyi is wearing a red and white striped sweater and brown shorts, which is an explosive combination of color difference. Her half-short hair is also highlighted with a few strands of color. The overall look is like a fine rainbow—that is, her face Can hold up such a chaotic collocation.Compared to Qu Tingchan's quietness, she was unusually cheerful, standing behind Tong Yan smiling and waving her hands to greet everyone.

Yan Rong was the first to go up.

"Mr. Tong, I'm sorry, the task..."

"The higher-ups have already understood the details of the task, and the final judgment will be released later. In view of the particularity of this scene, I think at most it is just that the follow-up rewards will not be paid. Of course, since the task has not been completed, you may also accept it in the near future. Go to another task assignment." Tong Yan dispelled everyone's biggest worry with one sentence, and then turned around, "Now that everyone has arrived, now we will go to the headquarters here at Rosary Cross, and let you get acquainted with it."

He took the first step, while Qu Du and the others didn't move, they took the initiative to fall behind and meet the people who came over.

"It's really Quting Zen! It's really Du Xieyi!"

Lu Ning could only hear Shang Wenxue's broken thoughts in her ear, and even the wrist she was holding was shaking. Fortunately, she still knew how to control her strength, otherwise Lu Ning had no choice but to throw her away in order to prevent her wrist from being broken .

"Hey, everyone has worked hard!" Du Xieyi flicked her colorful bangs, saluted everyone with a completely substandard salute, and then naturally talked to Yan Rong.

Qu Tingchan also picked up the words of Zhou Weiyuan and Jiao Mengqi, and did not neglect other people around him.Even before Lu Ning opened her mouth, Du Xieyi took the initiative to talk to her: "Lu Ning, I heard that you performed well this time, congratulations! It's a pity that I don't have enough authority to view the content of your scene activities if I don't upgrade, otherwise Can we chat more. And you are also the person who has been promoted to the second rank the fastest recently! Although the data is only from the organization~ but the rose cross already represents the best force, right? This is your friend here ? Do you want the girl to come to the organization to have a look?"

Proficiency in business...

Lu Ning could only answer her with onomatopoeia, and at the same time she was slightly surprised.

Even if the status of Qu and Du is really high, no one will say anything. After all, the actual performance is there, and the character of the person whose progress is forcibly suppressed will be Lu Ning is completely uncertain, but she did not expect ...is no different from some of the people I usually meet.

The performance of the two even raises doubts: Is this really that kind of full-scoring genius?Instead of the third-order staff who are good at greeting newcomers?

Among those people that Lu Ning had come into contact with before, the more powerful they were, the more eccentricities they showed outside. Cheng Wuling and Zhao Xihua belonged to this group, and the rest of the people also became more and more distanced from the description of "normal" in the process of the scene. Even including Ning Yeyi and Yan Rong beside him, Lu Ning could detect the abnormality hidden under their appearance.

This feeling did not exist in Qu and Du.

The smile is sincere, I know everyone is sincere in order to greet, and I have considered the tone and depth of inquiries and conversations in consideration of the character. It seems that the weight is lifted lightly but it shows an appropriate degree of preparation. It pays attention but does not touch everyone. The bottom line on privacy...

Lu Ning felt that if she continued to think about it, the paranoia that had not occurred for a long time was about to start again.

When everyone left, they happened to see a few people from the puppet party.Yu Wenjie, Lu Lin, and Luo Xiao were all there, but Hu Yuan and Yu Fen didn't know whether they had failed or died, and they were not with these three people.Tong Yan glanced at them and ignored them, but Qu Tingchan took a closer look at the few people.

"What did you find?" After everyone walked away, Du Xieyi asked the question that several people wanted to ask.

"They will not enter the assassination team." Qu Tingchan said.

"Ability issue? Personality issue?"

"It's a personality problem. This is good news. At least there is no one on our line that meets the admission criteria for the assassination team. You can report it to your superiors." Qu Tingchan said the last sentence to Tong Yan.

"I understand. Then... about the tour of the headquarters, I will ask you two." Tong Yan bowed to the two.

"It's easy to say, you have a lot of things to do!" Du Xieyi hurriedly waved Tong Yan away, and then immediately cheered up and looked at everyone: "Then everyone, please follow us to the headquarters. Just look at the construction here!"

"Should I avoid it here?" Ning Yeyi stopped, "After all, it's something within your organization..."

"Then I can recommend you some places to visit." Du Xieyi said with a smile.

Probably because she realized that Ning Yeyi didn't want to join, she didn't force him to stay.

===========
The area of ​​the third-tier distribution center is already very wide. When Lu Ning arrived at the airport earlier, she saw the aerial view from the porthole. This is a giant city in the style of a steel city.Most buildings are all metal and built directly on the ground.The entire distribution center is assembled and fitted together in a block structure. To adjust the situation of a certain building, it is enough to replace that part of the module.

Due to the whole body of metal, there are no tall trees here, but more low shrubs and lawns.Naturally, there is no need to consider issues such as greening in the distribution center, and compared to the people in the second level who are in a hurry, the third level is more life-like.

"As you can see, the third-tier distribution center constitutes a considerable part of the main body of life for tourists." Perhaps knowing that Du Xieyi's explanation might digress, Qu Tingchan took the initiative to start the work of introduction.

"Is it the subject of life?"

"The difficulty of the third level is at the most moderate stage. Tourists can get enough exercise without being too easy. Most people will choose this stage for their own accumulation, because if they continue to go up, they will face very big problems. challenge."

"Up to the fourth level... I heard people say that it is very troublesome." Shang Wenxue was relieved from the excitement and was able to ask questions.

"That's right, even we don't know much about the information of the fourth level, and the meaning above is that the less we know before actually entering the task of that level, the better."

"Why?" Zhou Weiyuan asked, "We have been relying on the experience obtained from a large amount of data combined with reality to survive."

"That's right, and those materials will continue to help you survive. However, Tier [-] is a little different, after all [Tourists of Tier [-] are already eligible to be paid a little attention by the distribution center]."

After Qu listened to Zen, he didn't explain much.Obviously, this sentence can only be understood but not expressed in words.

And the people present also had a thoughtful look after listening to it, and everyone's understanding is different, not to mention that the fourth level sounds a bit far away, and the current focus is to adapt to the new third level difficulty.

"Back to the issue we are most concerned about, which is the third-order scene. The score limit has been expanded to [-], which means that there will be more scoring methods in the scene. Challenge the limit, solve the puzzle of the scene, reveal the background of the world, save and destroy These are all means of scoring. However, I do not recommend that you continue to go too far in the third level. After all, an obvious situation is that the difficulty of the third level continues to increase the gap between tourists and the world's top combat power when they enter. level of strength."

"It's just a suggestion, right?" Yan Rong asked.

"Yes, the warrior's customs clearance is restricted, but it's not completely unthinkable. I just hope that you can broaden your knowledge and skills, and be prepared to deal with various emergencies."

"You are too serious." Du Xieyi finally found a chance to say something.

Qu Tingchan glanced at her and couldn't help but shook his head: "That's exactly what needs to be done. Even we need to pay attention to the traps in the scene. I think it's good to remind newcomers to pay more attention to this..."

"Don't look down on these newcomers too much. Think about why the two of us came to pick them up this time? These people may become important figures in the organization in the future." Du Xieyi said briskly, "Everyone, maybe Qu Tingchan The words are a good guide for some members who have been promoted to the third rank, but what I want to say is... this is not suitable for you."

"So what is suitable for us?" Jiao Mengqi asked.

"Personalization." Du Xieyi said, "You don't need to follow the usual routine of military training, be led by others, complete special learning items, and then group up at the right time to improve the survival rate... This is for ordinary people. Yes, a way to guarantee a minimum survival."

"You think we are not ordinary people?" Shang Wenxue's breathing became short again.

"You are the ones who have attracted the attention of the above. Of course, you are different from ordinary people who plan to learn and challenge. You have your own growth path. The ultimate goal of all of you should be omnipotence, not biased towards a certain aspect .”

"This is very difficult." Lu Ning couldn't help but said, "How many of the top characters can achieve such a thing as omnipotence?"

"You misunderstood my meaning." Du Xieyi let out a big laugh, "Almighty refers to adapting to the whole scene, rather than mastering all knowledge. It's just miscellaneous but not refined. Each of you already has the foundation, All you need is some guidance, and you can find your own development direction.”

At this moment, everyone stopped in front of a building painted silver-gray on the outside, and on the majestic-looking gate, the emblem of the Rosary Cross was shining faintly.

"Here we are, this is the headquarters." Qu Tingchan walked to a camera by the door, stood there for a moment, and then the door suddenly opened.

"Du Xieyi likes to inspire others, and also believes that everyone has the most suitable way of learning and growth. But I still want to say that she pays attention to the individual and I pay attention to the group." Qu Tingchan walked into the door first , and continued to tell everyone, "Both of us are the 'trump cards' here, and we also understand the experiences of everyone here in various periods. Whether it is pain or confusion, the third-order distribution center can make people relax a little bit. Relax your tense nerves, just because there are more human touches here. But the cruelty of the scene will only make more people disappear, you have to learn to adapt.”

"Ah, it's hard to let everyone relax..."

"When you get familiar with this place, you will have plenty of time to relax."

There are a lot of people in this building. Unlike Lu Ning and his group, most of them are "ordinary people" in Du Xieyi's mouth.

Even a third-tier tourist is not such a brilliant character.It is true that the skills and knowledge mastered by everyone are enough to be called elites in normal life, but they also seem to be "mass-produced" under the unified education system.But Qu and Du still greeted and chatted with everyone they met with an equal attitude. They knew that these people were the cornerstone of the Rosicrucian.

Nine legions, how many people are there in total?How many of these people are top-notch?

Lu Ning thought of Chu Jianting, he just practiced and promoted step by step according to the route prescribed by the Yinxing Society, and I am afraid that there will be no chance to meet each other in the future.Such a person will definitely become a member of the Rosicrucian in the future, maybe he can survive to the fifth level in the end, and maybe he will die in some scene in the middle.

"They've already started living here."

Du Xieyi's voice suddenly sounded in her ears. She had been chatting with people back and forth in the team. At this time, she had come to Lu Ning's side, and she could see what was on Lu Ning's mind at a glance.

"Life will wear down people's fighting spirit, and habits will make the goal farther and farther." Du Xieyi's voice is no longer so joyful, but with a sigh after lowering her voice, "That final goal, many people are in the They have gradually given up here. Some think they can’t reach the end, some have more unforgettable memories here, and some have forgotten where and why they want to go back after going through too many ‘treatments’.”

Lu Ning was terrified.

"You don't want to do this, right? This is what I think is the right path for you... Lu Ning, I will help everyone I meet, but this is the most. Use the third level to train yourself, and then Upgrading to the fourth level will not disappoint everyone who works hard, that is the greatest cruelty and mercy in the distribution center."

"you know……"

"Shh."

Du Xieyi shook her finger, winked at her, and then went to find the next person.
