Chapter 162 Orthodox! Fantasy! Adventurer!

"Adventurer code name?"

"Death Mad Sword Lady."

"gender?"

"male."

The camp recorder paused, his expression unchanged, "Please read and confirm whether you comply with the "430 Adventurer Agreement" and the "Secretary Agreement". Here is the printout..."

"accept."

"Please show your adventurer badge."

Ash, who was wearing a mask, took out a circular badge and swiped it across the glass screen of the inspection equipment, and the screen lit up green. The recorder nodded: "The mission registration is completed, please come in."

With almost no obstacles, Ash stepped into the Observation Point 53 camp very easily. A thirty-meter-high rough earth wall isolates the inside and outside. There is a high tower in the center of the camp. The dark blue vortex at the top of the tower is the goal of Ash's trip: the level 2 virtual realm turbulent flow channel.

All the vegetation in the camp was leveled and rows of benches were placed. Many adventurers gathered together to chat. They took out the wine bottles they carried with them and chatted about everything. Then they drank a moon candy and twitched all over - —Drink and eat sweets, and go to heaven.

From time to time, someone shouted loudly:

"The flames are coming over here!"

"Gather all the hungry ones here!"

"Falga, Falga, has Falga from the coffin-bearing team not arrived yet?"

In addition to these noisy people, there are also many lone wolves like Ash, who wear standard cloaks and masks, and look on mysteriously and coldly.

This chaos is the appearance of adventurers in war zones.

When he checked the adventurer's information on the curtain, Ash just wanted to applaud the Blood Moon Kingdom's superb level of exploitation and oppression - because in a social atmosphere of 'human rights, freedom' and 'racial equality', the military expenditures required for the conscription system are too real. It was too much, so the Blood Moon Kingdom decided not to have an army at all!

The Blood Moon Kingdom disbanded its army 300 years ago and completely converted to a war zone adventurer system.

The so-called adventurer system is that the war zone provides tasks, and adventurers receive and complete the tasks, and then receive rewards from the war zone. The relationship between the war zone and adventurers is just a trust. Adventurers can come and go freely, and theoretically can indeed share some of the military functions.

The biggest benefit of the adventurer system is naturally that there is no need to provide training fees, no need to be responsible for logistics, and no need to provide pensions.

Even if the adventurer dies, it has nothing to do with the war zone. If the adventurer likes to work or not, just leave. There are many people who want to take tasks. The war zone doesn't have to care about "human rights" at all. After all, they don't even have an employment relationship, they are just your love. I wish to have a temporary entrustment relationship.

To put it simply, forming an army requires treating soldiers as human beings, so it is too expensive. Recruiting adventurers only requires treating adventurers as tools, and there is no need for additional factors other than tools such as 'race' or 'human rights'. It was a waste of money, so the cost dropped significantly.

In the first year of implementation, the adventurer system saved 80% of military expenses.

The best thing is that after the conscription system was converted into an adventurer system, it had no negative impact on the Blood Moon Kingdom.

The reason is that the Blood Moon Kingdom does not have rigid collective military needs such as suppressing rebellions, defending borders, and disaster relief.

Needless to say, there is no rebellion. Let’s not mention the ‘forbidden love education’ implemented by the Blood Moon Kingdom. Just the chips on everyone’s back necks make it impossible for a large-scale rebellion to happen.

It is normal if there is no natural disaster. The Meteorological Bureau has solved everything before the disaster occurs. As for those virtual disasters caused by magicians, they naturally have to be solved by magicians, and the army cannot help at all.

As for the border, as the saying goes in the curtain, 'The Lord of the Blood Moon has helped us resist foreign enemies,' so there is no need for troops stationed at the border.

Matters such as maintaining public security, pursuing criminals, and preventing cults are the responsibilities of the Crime Hunting Department.

Therefore, the army has only two functions left: emergency forces, and suppressing the abyss in various places. These functions can be fully performed by adventurers. Therefore, after the military system was transformed into the adventurer system, although the efficiency did not increase, it did not decrease either, and the adventurer group also entered the stage of history.

As a violent group, adventurers are quite complex. There are combat magicians who want to protect the blood moon and hone their skills, there are also profiteers who want to obtain resources in the war zone, and there are even wanted criminals who come to the war zone to make a living in order to avoid being wanted. .

Yes, the war zone is willing to accommodate wanted criminals, and the Crime Hunting Agency will not come to the war zone to arrest people. For the desperate villains who have committed major crimes in the city, the war zone is almost the only place for them.

For example, the Woodpecker gang controlled by Schilling also has a branch of Woodpecker in the Lakeview War Zone, which is responsible for sheltering members who have committed trouble. If 'Golden Mouth' Ronald hadn't happened to be caught, he would probably have gone to Lakeview to become an adventurer.

When Ash heard Igura talking about the adventurer system in prison, he also asked them if it was possible to make a living in the war zone after escaping from prison, and start a vigorous adventurer journey, earning merit while clearing their charges, and will The strange cult leader gets back on track with his fantasy journey.

But Igulla coldly rejected his fantasy - War Zone doesn't mind whether you are a big bad guy who commits heinous crimes or a little brat who commits racial discrimination because of bad breath, but the prerequisite is that you have a chip.

Without a chip, wanted criminals would not be able to enter the 'safe rest area' provided by the war zone - as the name suggests, this area will activate the 'attack prohibition' in the adventurer's chip, and everyone in the safe area will be prohibited from attacking.

Not to mention that Ash is unwilling to implant a chip into himself. Even if he is willing, he can't find a way. Chip implantation is the monopoly business of the Beloved Church, and even the underground black market only provides purification services, not implantation services.

Therefore, they escaped the five evil villains and after removing the chips, there was no turning back.

Moreover, being an adventurer is not as good as Ya Xiu imagined, because the war zone only accepts merit consumption. No matter how much money you have, you will not be able to live comfortably in the war zone, and you will even be slaughtered. In the end, you must receive a mission and go to the war zone. Make a living by killing monsters in the abyss of waterways.

According to statistics, there is only a 25% chance for new adventurers to survive a year in a war zone. Even if most of them choose to escape back to the city to work because they cannot persist, this pass rate is still very scary.

In order to take care of the group of adventurers with such complex origins, War Zone has also launched the ‘Adventurer Merit’ system. All mission rewards are meritorious deeds, and adventurers can use their meritorious deeds to redeem any rewards in the war zone, including but not limited to magic spirits, miraculous spells, faction knowledge, etc.

And the best thing is that the merits are not registered on the chip, but on the adventurer badge that you carry with you.

The adventurer badge is anonymous.

As long as you can take out the adventurer badge, the war zone will still exchange your merits for you, whether your badge is your own, picked up, or... obtained by murder.

When Ash found out about this mechanism, he fully understood the good intentions of the Blood Moon Kingdom's implementation of the adventurer system. With this trick alone, it would be impossible for a concerted adventurer group to appear in the war zone. Large-scale violent groups would have their roots in this. It was disintegrated. As long as the war zone can still provide merit exchange rewards, suspicion will always exist among adventurers.

How could the Blood Moon Country, which bans even units like the family, allow violent groups like the military to exist?

Although large groups do not exist, there are countless small adventure groups of five or six people. There are seven or eight in this camp alone.

Seeing these 'Fire Adventure Team', 'Hungry Wolf Team' and 'Wind Brigade', Ash couldn't help but get wet in his eyes - he actually yearned for this kind of fantasy adventure life. He formed an adventure group with a few like-minded best friends and embarked on the journey. An unknown journey, an epic story, and then retirement, marriage, and seclusion in the countryside before the age of 35.

Best of all, he hoped that he could meet a beautiful and sexy lover, a virtuous and considerate wife, an acquaintance of his own, and a energetic and lovely girlfriend.

Then it would be better if they could not see each other.

This is an authentic fantasy story.

Now he was arrested → escaped from prison → escaped from the country. How can this be called a fantasy story? This is clearly a police story!

There is no need to travel back in time, as long as he embezzles public funds in the company, he can experience this process!

Just when Ash fell into the sadness of an adult again, there seemed to be friction among the adventurers.

A masked adventurer in a cloak said that he had lost his badge and suspected that the three people who passed by him had stolen it. Naturally, the three people refused to recognize it and were even willing to accept a face-covered search.

Just as he was searching the first person with his face covered, the first person raised his hands, holding the adventurer badge in his right hand, and threw it to the second person in the blind spot of his masked vision.

Everyone around saw this scene, but no one said anything, they all watched the show. Not to mention those with evil intentions, even those with good intentions will never help - even important badges can be stolen, so it is better to give up the career of an adventurer and return to the city to be a cog in society.

Cover your face and search the second person. The second person also raises his hands and throws the badge to the third person. When you cover your face and search the third person, the third person throws the badge to the first person.

The badge was rotated in the hands of three people, making the onlookers laugh.

These three people simply wanted to have fun with their faces covered. In the end, they gained nothing and could only leave thinking they were unlucky.

Just when Ash thought this was just an ordinary social beating, suddenly the three people screamed.

"Where's my badge? Why is my badge missing?"

"Mine is gone too! Gan, it must be that goblin bastard just now!"

"Where has he gone!? Find him quickly. My badge contains the merits of buying magic spirits!"

The three people looked around angrily for the masked people just now, but there were too many people wearing cloaks and masks here. The masked people blended into the crowd as soon as they got into the crowd. Where could they find them? They even targeted Ash, who looked at them without fear.

"Hahaha, you're laughing so hard. I just saw him take away the badges of you idiots when he was searching you, but I didn't tell you, hahaha!"

"Why are you staring? You can't steal from others, but you are still embarrassing yourself here? Do you want to fight?"

"We've laughed enough, you can go away."

The members of the adventure group nearby laughed loudly, and there was a lot of laughter. The three of them were so angry that their shoulders were shaking, and they were about to shed tears in grievance. They could only whisper a few harsh words that no one could hear, and hid in the edge area dejectedly.

At this time, a goblin in formal clothes walked up to the high platform. He was tall and tall, with delicate features, a pair of silver-rimmed glasses on his nose, and a top hat covering his hairless head. He suddenly looked like a fluorescent green elf.

A mere goblin actually exuded an elegant aura (Ash didn't realize he was being racist at all), and he didn't know whether it was because of plastic surgery or because he was born with it - anyway, the Blood Moon Kingdom's genetic optimization technology was the best in the world.

"Good evening, fellow adventurers. I am the secretary of this mission, Kipot Mantras." Goblin said calmly: "There are only 90 minutes left before 0 o'clock. The camp has been closed to entry and exit. Enter next." Operational preparation stage.”

"It seems that this goblin is a candidate for parliament if he can be responsible for such a risk-free gold-plated political achievement as the invasion of foreign lands."

Suddenly, Ash's familiar Kamasa comments came from the side. He turned his head to look at the cloaked adventurers next to him in confusion, but he couldn't find who was speaking.
