Zhan Yun and the group think the system here is actually very reasonable. In peacetime, when enjoying state subsidies, don’t they have to pay taxes first? Now it’s the end of the world. Money is going to be useless for a long time. It’s very reasonable to earn work points through labor. Probably only those rich second generation, official second generation, gnawing old people and those who like to take advantage of the bad water will feel dissatisfied.

After registering their personal information, Zhan Yun and the group each of them received a small temporary residence permit, the size of the card fit their info, on which each person’s name, age, height, weight and other basic information was written. On the back of the card were many small squares, which were divided into seven columns according to seven days a week, and eight lines according to accommodation, breakfast, lunch, dinner, exchange, remuneration, transaction and others, for the convenience of recording Work Points.

The first three days of accommodation are free. It’s for the new survivors to adapt to the new environment. It doesn’t matter if they don’t have to work. But later, if they want to continue living in the base, they have to pay something. It doesn't matter if they pay in labor and exchange their work points, or pay with materials, in other words, it is impossible to get anything without labor.

The soldiers also said that there is a special law enforcement team in the base, which is responsible for maintaining the public security in the base, as well as a special supervision organization responsible for supervising the law enforcement team, which can accept complaints and help from the people. Stealing, robbery, fighting and violence are prohibited in the base. If someone violates the base regulations, the lighter sentence is that they can be removed, and the more serious one is that they can be directly shot after the crime is verified. As for things like prison, there are none.

After a week, when the temporary residence permit is filled up, they can go to the registration office to exchange for a formal ID card, which is similar to the ID card before the apocalypse. However, there is an additional work point recording function, just like the bus card and meal card, which can be swiped directly on the machine, which is very convenient.

Next to the registration office is the management center of the base, which is divided into three floors. The first floor is the work management office, the second floor is the mission hall, and the third floor is the office area of the management center.

The survivors who have received the temporary residence permit can go to the mission hall on the second floor to choose tasks suitable for them to earn work points. They can also exchange, trade and buy work points in the work point management office on the first floor. There are many survivors who come to the base by car. There are some materials in the car, at least. Survivors can exchange these materials for work points.

Most of the survivors are carrying food like biscuits and instant noodles, which are good for only satisfying hunger for a while, but it’s better to eat hot food when there are hot steamed buns and hot soup to choose from.

In a short time, there is a long line in the work points exchange area. Basically, everything can be exchanged here. Besides food, the daily necessities in the base are also collected here, such as brand-new towels, toothbrushes, paper towels, etc. even vehicles can be converted into work points. The cars with good performance can be exchanged to dozens of work points. The cars with poor performance can also be exchanged to dozens of work points. Although these cars can be worth a lot of money before the apocalypse, they are worthless after the apocalypse. Without gasoline, they are almost like scrap iron. Therefore, many survivors choose to exchange their cars for work points.

For those unwilling to change cars into work points, the base has also set up a parking lot on the periphery, charging a few work points every week as parking fees.

Of course, if the survivors need a car in the future, they can also use the work points to buy the car back or rent it.

Compared with the exchange area, there are few people here in the market area. After all, everyone is new here, and there are too few employees.

Zhan Yun's group went over to have a rough look at the price list. They basically have everything to eat, drink and use here, which is similar to a small supermarket. They can exchange anything as long as they have work points. The price is very fair. A car can also be exchanged here. It’s about 30 work points. The brand is quite good. Everyone can also buy some gasoline with work points, that is, even though the price is relatively expensive. At 100 work points, you can buy a barrel of 50 liter gasoline, and each person is limited to one barrel.

There are too many people on the first floor. After they strolled around, they went to the second floor.

The mission hall on the second floor is divided into two parts: the white area and the red area. The white area is for ordinary survivors, while the red area is ability users and ordinary people with strong fight ability. In the white area stands a large electronic bulletin board, through which survivors can check the tasks they want to receive. After choosing a suitable task, you can register at the counter next to you with your temporary residence permit.

The tasks on the bulletin board in the white area are basically some basic posts, which belong to the category of simple physical labor. There are also advanced ones, but they are all limited to professional technical personnel, with good pay, but they must be assessed before taking the post.

In the red area, there are only two electronic terminals, and there is a handwritten bulletin board next to it, which tells the survivors that they need to swipe their team card or personal identity card to log in to the electronic terminals to select and view tasks. Tasks are divided into different levels, some are individual tasks, some are tasks that only an ability user can do, and some are tasks that must be completed by a team. But no matter what kind of task it is, applicants need to register at the counter in the red area. After receiving the mission, the Tasker can exchange his work points for weapons such as firearms. In addition, there are other benefits.

But more specific information needs to be registered before it can be learned.

Since the red area is for those with higher strength and ability users, the missions released here are certainly dangerous, but the gains are not small.

Many people who have confidence in their own strength have gone to the counter in the red area for consultation and registration. A young person has also made a particularly ostentatious statement that he is an ability user, attracting people around him to look at him one after another, but there are all kinds of emotions in their eyes, not only curiosity and envy, but also jealousy and hatred.

Zhan Yun's team has almost eight ability users so of course it is impossible for them to do the work of carrying bricks and sweeping the floor. It’s just that they are not in a hurry to register now. It's like the saying 'shooting the bird which takes the lead', so It’s not a good thing to get too many people’s attention right at the beginning.

In addition to the survivors brought back from cities N, S and A, there are also survivors rescued from other cities. They arrived at the base earlier than they did. According to Company Commander Zhang, the total population of the base now is no less than 50000 or 60000. There must be some ability users in the base, but there are few people in the red mission area, which is quite informative to them.

So Zhan Yun decided to keep a low profile first. Anyway, they are already familiar with the army now, and many things are still bound to be found out later.

Be careful to drive the ship for thousands of years.

By the time they got back to the first floor, there were way fewer people here. After all, not everyone had materials to exchange for work points. Most of the people who had crowded here before were just watching. Now that they had enough fun, they left. Some of them went to the second floor and the rest went to check in.

Part of the materials collected by Zhan Yun's team in city A are put in the car. The car is parked at the gate of the base and guarded by soldiers. There is no need to be afraid that someone will smash the car and steal things. They decided to take the things first, exchange them into work points here, and then go to check in. They certainly don’t want to be crowded with others, so it’s better that they should have a separate house.

Just as they got to the door, they saw Company Commander Zhang coming with two officers.

“Hey, XiaoZhan, there were too many people just now. You disappeared in a flash, but I need to meet you.”

“Why is Company Commander Zhang looking for us?”

“Ha ha, you have a batch of materials on my side from before, did you forget? Do you want me to give it to you in work points or give you the things directly?” Company commander Zhang was talking about the fruits, vegetables, rice and noodles he brought back from the farmers’ market. He promised to give some of them to Zhan Yun's team when he returned to the base. He is not a man who eats his words.

Zhan Yun said with a smile, "Then I'll trouble you to help us to exchange it to work points so it's not too eye-catching."

“Ha ha, I guess you are willing to work. Come with me.” As Company Commander Zhang said this, he took them directly to the third floor of the management center and found a staff member to exchange the work points for Zhan Yun. The record of exchange of work points is not handwritten, but a pin printer. A small seal is also struck beside it, which plays a role of anti-counterfeiting.

Zhan Yun takes back his temporary residence permit. In today’s date, there are three thousand extra points in the exchange column!

“If you have any need for anything, you can go to the market area and buy things with your work points. If the things you want can't be exchanged, come and tell me. I’ll try my best to help you. In fact, Commander Jiang wanted to help you with the official ID card. Unfortunately, the power supply of the base is still a little tight. It takes time to make the ID card. Please wait a bit.” For ability users like Zhan Yun and Su Ruizhe, Jiang Xuzhou is not willing to let them go. He would like to give them official identity cards so that they can stay in the south base from now on.

“It’s okay. We’re not in a hurry. We don’t need special treatment.” Zhan Yun said with a smile, “You and Commander Jiang have already helped us a lot.”

“Hahaha, we help each other, we help each other!” Company commander Zhang smiled heartily, pointed to an officer beside him, and said, “This is Gao Lang, who is in charge of the management center. If you need anything, you can find him directly.”

“Hello, I am Zhan Yun.”

“Hello.” They shook hands with each other politely.

Then he pointed to another officer and said, “This is Xu Sihan, who is in charge of the law enforcement brigade. If you have any trouble, you can find him.”

“Hello.” The two sides shook hands.

Commander Jiang and Company Commander Zhang were really helpful. They helped them get acquainted in several important departments and paved the way for them. They both remembered the help given by Zhan Yun and Su Ruizhe.

The author has something to say:

I’d like to recommend my next novel, "The First Interstellar Gambling Stone Energy Master", which is an interstellar stone gambling novel. Please collect it~~

(If you can't find the still not started novel on the app, you can look on my page to see it~ It will start in late January~)

With the progress and expansion of science and technology, the rate of population growth began to soar, and environmental pollution and energy shortage added fuel to the fire. The earth is no longer fit for human existence, so human eyes turn to the vast universe. Since then, man has officially entered the interstellar age.

Mechas, Spaceships, Weapons and the Military all depended on energy. Energy has become the most scarce resource in the futuristic interstellar era. Even the genetically modified silicon based human needs to be supplemented with liquified energy.

Lin Luo was just a little miner, colorblind and had a good face at best, but a meteorite shower and a bottle of gene enhancer completely changed his fate.

Color blindness is not terrible. What’s terrible is that this color blindness can see the color of energy stone.

Lin · The First Stone Gambler in The World · Luo: "Is stone gambling that hard?"

Everyone: “…” It’s just not hard for you?!
