Chapter 106: Chapter 106

"So you really are new recruits, did you encounter anything on your way here?"

Shortly after, an inspector from the city arrived. After finishing his inspection, he asked nonchalantly.

"We encountered a lot of Half-Beastmen outside the city, we fought our way here."

"I see, no wonder there’s so much blood on your weapons." The inspector seemed not surprised at all, as if he already knew about it. The other soldiers seemed the same.

"Since you could all make it through that path and arrive at our Border City, it means you are all strong and willing to fight for the Empire. From now on, you are official soldiers of our empire." The inspector patted Daniu’s shoulder, the strength in his hand shook Daniu despite his robustness.

The others could clearly see that while the inspector looked gentle and cultured, his actual level was 4. This was just an inspector, other military officers’ power would undoubtedly be even stronger.

With such combat power, it’s no wonder the Derived World is considered an incredibly powerful world, at least to them.

To be able to monopolize such a massive world in a month, Xi Qianxue and Lin Feng’s abilities are also not weak.

Du You was thinking quietly among the crowd, now was not the time to steal the spotlight.

"All of you follow me, I’ll take you to report. You have three days of leave, but after three days, you must join one of the teams." The inspector led them into the city, explaining some matters as they went.

"The Empire is in dire need of manpower now, the Beastman city to the north and Wood Shield City to the east seem to be engaging in some trade, those Half-Beastmen might have taken advantage of it to come here. We are in communication with the Empire, but it will take some time."

As he spoke, they arrived at the registration place for new recruits. In reality, it was a large military camp.

Registration was very easy, just registering your name, not even having to register any special skills or profession. In Border City, if you want to improve your status, you need to earn merit, nothing else matters.

"Alright, let’s first open our chests and then we’ll discuss where to go."

Xi Qianxue spoke and then opened her chest. They completed their task of coming to Border City, each one receiving a task chest. But after opening it, Du You was rather frustrated, as there were only twenty-three crystal coins inside.

"Surely earning from tasks gives the most, I made eight crystal coins this time."

"What are you bragging about, you killed too little on the way, I’ve got twelve crystal coins in my chest, and got another two on the way. That made fourteen in total. I might even reach level 4 before my major examination if this continues."

Du You listened to the heated discussion around him, feeling a bit weird. He had already spent thousands of crystal coins to acquire his skills, and yet these fellows were so thrilled over a dozen or so crystal coins.

Alright, it seemed there is indeed a difference in status. Du You didn’t say anything. Seeing how happy these people were, he knew that he probably didn’t belong to the same world as them.

After a long while, when everyone had calmed down, Xi Qianxue began to analyse, "We came here, firstly we choose our roles. If you want to be safe, it’s best to join the internal patrol team in Border City, although the workload is large everyday, there wouldn’t be any danger initially. And completion of patrol counts as a task."

"If you want to be prudent, then it’s best to choose the task of clearing the rear passage. The same path we took when we came here, clearing the Half-Beastmen inside, it might be somewhat dangerous, but the gains are rather high. These Half-Beastmen aren’t very strong."

The people around had already begun to think, after all, what comes next depends on their own choices. Orıginal content can be found at 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡⚑𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚⚑𝙣𝙚𝙩

Different choices would give them different starting points. Perhaps for Semi-Professionals, their choices are limited to things like patrol or logistics teams.

Although they are called Semi-Professionals, in reality, they don’t even have the possibility to choose their professions, they can only learn some common skills. Fighting with Half-Beastmen might be a bit too dangerous for them.

"Let’s join the city defense team, be one of the city defense soldiers. The benefits here are somewhat better, the daily task completion rewards are also larger, and there is no danger at the beginning." A student suggested.

"Let’s not, the minimum requirement for the city defense team is level 2, it would be hard for us to join with our current strength."

"Boss, what do we prepare to choose?" Lao Er asked the Boss.

The Boss didn’t even think about it and said, "First we need to improve our status, without position and military achievement, we don’t have many choices. Ordinary soldiers don’t have much room for maneuver."

"Therefore, I believe, we should take tasks, become a vanguard. The conflict between the three cities is not intense at the moment, so outer tasks are relatively safe."

The Boss actually knew to choose the path of taking on tasks, this information wasn’t available in the new recruit camp.

"Since the boss has made his decision, then I’ll choose to be a vanguard first. With our strength, we should be able to earn some merit."

"Of course I have no problem." Lao Er brandished his axe to display his strength.

When most people here had made their choices, as Du You had thought, those typical Semi-Awakened, indeed all chose tasks with higher safety. They just relied on these tasks to grind for some crystal coins. At this rate, reaching level 2 before their major examination might be difficult.

Forcefully advancing without appropriate skills or equipment resulted in questionable combat abilities, and future mainline tasks will become increasingly dangerous. Surely no idiot would do so.

Most Awakeners chose the task of clearing the rear passage.

Those who really came to the task selection hall, apart from Du You’s trio, were only a minority of people like Xi Qianxue and Lin Feng.

For some reason, Xi Qianxue, Daniu, and another female student formed a team, while Lin Feng led another three people and formed another team. Only ten people came here to select tasks in total.

Seeing they arrived, Lin Feng snorted coldly and left with his team.

"They all know for sure, it seems that the others were brought here just to set up the game for them." Du You thought quietly to himself, something that looks like a good deed might not necessarily be a good deed, everything requires careful consideration.
