Chapter 14 Level Test
Along the way.
Yun Zhao found everything in the large base novel and interesting. She suppressed her curiosity and simply observed silently.
Xiang Mingjie didn't rush her, but patiently explained it to her.
No matter what... she is a guide.
The two quickly arrived at the special ability testing room.
This testing room is exclusively for the guides.
The pure white room was divided in two by a glass partition, with various incomprehensible instruments placed in the outer room.
Several researchers are operating the equipment at the table.
Upon seeing people enter, one of them picked up the registration book and waved to Yun Zhao.
The researchers were gentle, saying, "Please let your spiritual body enter the room; we will conduct separate tests on your spiritual strength."
Yun Zhao was completely unfamiliar with the testing process. She wanted to follow it, but after glancing at the small room behind the glass, she could only truthfully say, "It might not be big enough to fit everything."
"Can't fit it all?" The researchers looked at the little bluebird with suspicion.
The guides' spirits are all gentle, and most of them are small herbivores.
Her spiritual body was no bigger than the palm of a hand.
The room is a full 100 square meters, enough to hold hundreds of them.
The little bluebird glared at them angrily when it felt looked down upon for the first time.
[Useless! Who do you think you are!]
Yun Zhao patted it reassuringly, "Yes, it will grow bigger."
Strength reflects the attitude of the Dawn Base towards her.
She must secure stable housing for the people of Qingshan Town.
Besides, she's not a masochist; why would she turn down such high-welfare benefits?
"Get bigger?!"
Upon hearing this, the expressions on all the researchers' faces changed instantly.
A spiritual entity can have different forms?
An unprecedented situation!
The researchers' eyes lit up, staring intently at the little bluebird, and they said enthusiastically, "Then let's change our experimental site. There's a large experimental site behind us; it'll definitely be big enough to accommodate it."
The large laboratory currently serves only one person.
That was Xie Tu, the only S-class Sentinel at Dawn Base.
Fearing something might happen to Xie Tu, the Dawn Base conducts a check-up on Fire Phoenix almost every month.
Test the concentration of dark matter on its body.
They are trying to find other ways to prevent this S-class Sentinel from undergoing further mutation.
"The large laboratory is behind us, please follow me."
Yun Zhao followed two enthusiastic researchers downstairs to the heavily guarded large laboratory behind them.
The other researchers, having lost interest in their work, simply went out with them.
They also wanted to see just how big a bird the size of a palm could grow...
On the way to the large laboratory.
The researchers looked at the little bluebird with excitement and joy, as if they were looking at their own grandson, their eyes filled with doting affection.
The little bluebird impatiently turned its body around, turning its back to them.
The large laboratory on the back hill is like an empty square.
Yun Zhao listened to them and went in alone, standing alone in the center of the square.
“Alright, please release your mental energy.” The researcher stood in the control room and spoke to her through a microphone.
Yun Zhao turned to look at the people behind the glass.
His gaze was perfectly calm.
From the moment she saw the fire phoenix, she already knew her level.
So let's give them... a little shock.
Yun Zhao slowly closed his eyes.
A powerful surge of mental energy erupted!
The great bluebird, with an otherworldly grace, suddenly soared into the air and appeared behind her.
Enormous wings enveloped the girl, each feather containing countless strands of spiritual energy, cascading like a galaxy and emitting a dazzling blue light.
When its true form was revealed, the surrounding air seemed to tremble.
All the instruments simultaneously emitted a popping sound.
The researchers froze for a moment, then suddenly stood up, flung open the control room door, and rushed into the field like madmen.
"It actually has two forms!"
"It's a phoenix! It's the Azure Luan, one of the Five Phoenixes!"
"My God! S-rank! Finally, an S-rank guide has appeared!"
The researchers looked up at the great bluebird with excitement and fervent gaze.
So beautiful!
A luminous spiritual entity...
Those cold, blue beastly eyes looked at people as if they were ants.
This did not dampen their enthusiasm in the slightest.
Xiang Mingjie stood frozen at the door, his expression one of utter shock.
S-rank...Guide...
He couldn't believe that this girl had actually been tested as S-rank!
＊
This matter quickly alarmed the higher-ups.
Two hundred years into the apocalypse, human society struggles to move forward amidst ruins and reconstruction.
The legend of S-class guides is like a distant star, unattainable, and no one has ever witnessed their brilliance.
On this day, a young girl was diagnosed with an S-class spiritual body.
The reaction of the crowd upon hearing the news was a mixture of emotions, a blend of joy and surprise, which was hard to describe.
The base quickly made arrangements.
A dozen minutes later.
A squad of sentries arrived and rescued Yun Zhao from the group of crazed researchers.
She breathed a sigh of relief.
She never expected that group of people to be so crazy. They weren't afraid of her spirit at all, and they blocked her way, asking her all sorts of questions, making her ears hurt.
Yun Zhao was led to a large conference room, where he finally met the senior executives of the Dawn Base.
The portly Dawn Base commander, who was about forty years old, was all smiles and personally stood up to greet them, saying, "Welcome... welcome to Dawn Base."
This is an S-rank guide!
Over the years, no S-class guide has ever been created.
The way Chief Shen looked at her was as if she were a steaming hot, delicious treat.
Yun Zhao was a little uncomfortable being blocked at the door, so he nodded slightly in response.
Despite having anticipated the situation, the base commander, who wore his emotions on his sleeve, was far from the serious and authoritative figure she had imagined.
"Our base is surrounded by mountains on three sides, covers a vast area, is easy to defend and difficult to attack, has abundant resources nearby, and a mild climate, making it many times better than other bases..."
After boasting about himself, the base chief then introduced the internal situation.
"You saw it when you came in, right? The base is divided into inner and outer urban areas, with complete urban facilities, including hospitals, schools, canteens, training grounds, and more. You'll definitely be satisfied."
"Oh right, there's also land. The planting sheds are all on the back mountain, and the land is all carefully cultivated by hand."
Director Shen: "The Agricultural Research Institute recently cultivated a sweet potato..."
The base manager was extremely enthusiastic and kept introducing her to the basic situation of the Dawn Base.
He wished he could show her the entire Dawn Base in one go.
Anyone who didn't know better would think she was there to inspect the work.
There were four other people sitting in the meeting room, and it was hard to look at them.
Minister Bai of the Special Abilities Department was a refined middle-aged man. He coughed lightly, interrupting Chief Chen's incessant chatter, "Let's sit down and talk."
Commander Shen snapped out of his daze, "Oh right, right, let's talk sitting down."
Yun Zhao was finally able to enter the conference room and sit in the third seat on the right side of the long conference table.
While she was secretly sizing up the four people opposite her, they were also sizing her up.
Eighteen or nineteen-year-old girls possess a calmness and composure beyond their years.
Wearing a baggy old camouflage uniform, he was rather thin, his frail body looking as if a gust of wind could blow him over.
She looks gentle and delicate, and her personality seems somewhat quiet and reserved.
Judging from his appearance alone, no one would believe that he is an S-class guide.
"Welcome to Dawn Base. I am Bai Mo, the head of the Special Abilities Department of the base."
Minister Bai appeared very approachable, a faint smile playing on his lips. "As an S-class guide, your abilities will be our most valuable resource, so we hope you can join the base's special abilities department."
"As for benefits, you don't need to worry. Feel free to make any requests, and we will try our best to meet them."
Previously, there were no S-rank guides.
After discussion, everyone has formulated a new welfare policy.
The benefits have been increased by one level from the standard of A-level guides.
After all, guides and sentries are different.
The S-rank sentinel at the base has more points than he can spend by taking on missions.
The other man sitting to Yun Zhao's left gave her a gentle smile and handed her a form.
"I am Shao Tiancheng, the head of the logistics department. Please take a look at this form. If there is anything you are not satisfied with, please feel free to point it out."
Yun Zhao responded politely and reached out to take the form.
Each benefit is listed in detail above.
The base arranged a residence for her in a villa area in the inner city, without specifying which villa; she could go and choose for herself.
In addition, housing, utilities, and medical care are all free...
Each month, an additional 3,000 points are provided as a living allowance, with extra subsidies for holidays.
What does 3,000 points mean?
The Dawn Base's A-level sentry team needs seven people to share the 2,000 points required to enter the dangerous contaminated zone.
Although they may have salaries or other ways to earn points, compared to that, she doesn't have to worry about housing and gets 3,000 points to spend every month...
The delicate guides are protected by the base and don't even need to leave the city to carry out missions.
She only needs to be dispatched by the Special Abilities Department and occasionally sit in the counseling room to provide psychological counseling for the sentries.
The crowd control center is divided into inner city and outer city areas.
There are no requirements for the crowd control room in the outer city area. Anyone who is a sentry, including outsiders, can enter by paying points.
In the inner city, the main targets for evacuation are the base's senior sentries.
Level A sentries have two free traffic control slots per month.
They call it "visiting patients".
The clinic hours are scheduled according to the schedule, with staff randomly switching between those working in the inner and outer urban areas.
In other words, people in the outer city area might be lucky enough to encounter a high-level guide.
Yun Zhao read it all at a glance.
From her personal perspective, there was nothing wrong with this arrangement.
But she has the support of the entire town.
Moreover, this contradicts her original purpose in coming to Dawn Base.
She didn't want to be a caged canary.
Sooner or later, she would have to step into Contaminated Zone Six...
