Chapter 650: The Prosperous Tang Dynasty. Mission Hall
Little did she know that Cui Tingting's hands were shaking, making it inconvenient for her to type.
When she and her sister were buying mobile phones in a shopping mall, they were robbed by a cult and dozens of people died. She was lucky and had been hiding in a corner. She was finally rescued by Mou Ci and fell in love with him at first sight.
She asked her father to find out who saved her, but just as she found out, she heard that he was missing. She cried countless times and asked her father to send someone to look for him.
Chairman Cui really loved his daughter and spent a lot of money to hire someone to look for her, but unfortunately the hired person escaped without even entering Yilian Mountain. She also thought about looking for her on her own, but was discovered and stopped by Cui's mother, and was almost beaten.
She came here to continue working because she knew that Mou Ci had returned safely. She had been worrying about finding a reason to see him these days, and now he is here!!!
She was about to reply "OK" but then she remembered what her father said about the recent tense situation and that they should not get involved in anything involving the military or the political. They would wait until one side wins and then the Cui family would serve the new leader.
After being scolded by her parents for going out impulsively last time, she has become much more restrained and understands that her parents are really doing it for her good.
Alas, I am not that smart. I should go home and discuss this matter with my dad. I shouldn’t do something good with bad intentions.
…
"You're not going to eat anymore?" Old Chu frowned. "The food you waste will block your way to heaven."
What an old joke.
Chu An picked up the pizza and took small bites. He thought that Master Wang and Master Sun might still be useful. "When we get to the mission hall, when we see them, we'll put the locator on them. Use the rice grain one."
"Hmm?" Gu Ye tilted his head, "Why are they going there?"
"I don't know, maybe the mission hall is also their industry." Chu An guessed a reason.
"Maybe he's going to hand in a mission." Lao Chu explained, "You'll see a ranking list in the mission hall later. It's called the Hero Ranking. There are rewards for the Hero Ranking. You'll get a certain number of points for dominating the list for a day, and a certain number of points for dominating the list for a week. Being on the ranking list is also a symbol of ability."
"They are also going on missions?" Gu Ye was surprised, "Aren't they afraid of death?"
Lao Chu, "They won't carry out the missions, but they will accept the missions and hand them over to their own teams to complete. In the end, they get the points. This has become a means for the rich young people to compete with each other."
It turns out that rich people know how to have fun!
After the three of them finished lunch, Chu An received a message from Cui Tingting, which only said, "I will try my best, but I can't guarantee that I can get in touch with you."
Chu An didn't care, mainly because he didn't place too much hope on Cui Tingting.
She replied with a thank you and put away the lunch table.
After the three of them had their fill, they continued to stroll around the outer city of Sheng Tang.
Gu Ye drove to the vicinity of Sheng 26th Street on Third Avenue and drove towards the place with the most people. Sure enough, he soon found the mission hall, which was built facing the street and had a simple but grand door curtain.
There are two stone lions in front of the door. Below the stone lions are more than a dozen steps, and there are armed guards on both sides. They do not check the residence permits of people entering and leaving, but are only responsible for security.
There is a parking lot sign at the entrance, behind the mission hall. Those who can come to the mission hall are quite capable, so they are dressed much better. Some of them drove here like them and lined up to drive to the back.
The parking lot is not big, it can accommodate about 40-50 cars, there is no gatekeeper, it is a purely electronic lift, automatically recognizes the vehicle identification code. At this time, it shows that there are 11 parking spaces, and the charging standard is posted at the entrance, 0.1 points/hour.
Stop for two hours and a steamed bun is gone!
"I didn't expect to see an unmanned parking lot. If they have the energy to do this, why don't they build more low-priced houses so that residents from out-of-town areas don't have to sleep on the streets." Gu Ye sighed.
"Rich people just like to exploit the surplus value of the poor." Old Chu sighed, "Although the inner city is prosperous, there are more places that charge fees than here."
Gu Ye parked the car, and the three of them got out and went back to the main entrance. There were quite a few people entering at this time, and some left the parking lot with them, but there was no communication between them.
Chu An and the other two followed the crowd inside. Apart from the guards on the stairs, there were no other staff members. However, there were quite a few teenagers around eleven or twelve years old lingering at the door, who did not hinder others from coming in and out.
Chu An stepped into the hall, which was very spacious. He saw a huge scrolling screen facing the door at a glance.
Various tasks are listed on the left side of the screen, and on the right is the hero list. The current number one is Sun Zhanxing, the second is Wen Le, and the third is Ma Dong.
The scores of the three people are comparable, but they are twice that of the fourth place, which can be said to be a huge gap.
There are several small screens around the big screen, showing recruitment information, missing person notices, outer city maps, etc.
Chu An's eyes left the big screen and found that the entire hall was divided into two open areas, upper and lower, by five steps in the middle.
There are a lot of people in the area below the stairs. Although they are dressed relatively neatly, they don’t have any good clothes and their mental state is not as good as that of the people above.
On the left side of this area is the task acceptance area. Most people will select the task on the big screen, fill out the form, and then line up to submit the form.
However, since everyone is picking up tasks at the same time and there are many windows, it is very likely that the task will have been picked up by someone else when it is your turn. In this case, you can only accept your bad luck.
On the right is the task handing-in area, which is a bit noisy. Because the definition of task results is not so standard, everyone wants to gain benefits for themselves and can only find various excuses. There are also some that require evaluation intervention. If it takes more than a day, they will go home and wait. Those who can be evaluated within a day will wander around the window, so the task handing-in area is crowded and noisy.
In addition to the task windows on the left and right, there are more than a dozen rows of benches like those in a train station. Some people use this as a rest room, occupying four seats to sleep, while others ask around if they need odd jobs, either older people or children.
Some tasks require people with smaller statures, so they will randomly choose a child they like here, but these are all one-time tasks and the rewards are very small.
Chu An and the other two quickly walked to the stairs, and immediately attracted a lot of attention, both on and off the stairs. However, they just looked around, and no one stood up to stop them and said that this was not a place for them to come.
Chu An stepped onto a step and felt like a switch had been triggered. More and more people came to look at them.
"What's going on?" Lao Chu felt a little guilty, as it was also his first time here.
Chu An understood when he walked up the third step. There were two staircases and an elevator on each side of the steps, and someone was coming up from these two places.
It seems that people who come here come up from the stairs or elevators and do not pass through the area below. In this comparison, they are new here and do not know the ins and outs. Outsiders are likely to attract attention.
Chu An didn't care. With her current state of mind, sarcasm, humiliation and bullying were all put aside.
"It's okay, let's make the best of it!"
The three of them went up the stairs and felt that the lights were much brighter, and the big screen was clearer from here.
