Guo Shier and Falconer found an empty space. Guo Shier was too lazy to set up a tent, so he directly released the talisman house. This place was about a few hundred meters away from the camp, so neither of them was willing to squeeze into the camp. After releasing the talisman house, the two of them walked into the living room downstairs.
Falconer said, "This damned place!"
Guo Shier said, "Yes, it's indeed a damned place. Let's take a look at the talisman first." The two of them sat down and began to look at the things recorded in the talisman.
The records of the Baoyi region were relatively simple. The talisman also recorded the locations of the other camps in the Baoyi region. There were a total of 18 main camps and 46 auxiliary camps. The camp that Guo Shier's group was in was an auxiliary camp, responsible for hunting down the mutated humans and mutated rune beasts that slipped through the net. Another important duty was to act as a guard. Every once in a while, they had to send out a reconnaissance team to patrol.
Guo Shier understood at a glance that the mortality rate of the reconnaissance team must be very high. This was an extremely dangerous job.
The camp they were in was the 27th camp, which was located at the edge of the region. The professionals in the camp were considered as consumables.
Soon, Guo Shier found the Gu Hirong clan's point system. There was a detailed explanation about this. As long as one could save a certain amount of points, they could be promoted to the main camp. It was easier to obtain a large number of points there. With enough points, they could exchange for inheritances or other relatively safer jobs.
Anything needed to eat or drink here had to be exchanged with points. Points were equivalent to money.
Falconer cursed, "That's really scary. Damn it … There are almost no loopholes. The rules are very detailed."
Guo Shier shook his head and said, "There must be loopholes, but we haven't found them yet. No system or rules can be perfect." In his previous life, he already knew that it was impossible to have a perfect system. The more extensive the rules and system, the more impossible it was to have no flaws.
The two of them continued to look. There was a lot of information recorded in the talisman. The two of them spent a whole two days to memorize it.
On the fifth day, Guo Shier put away the talisman house and rushed to the central hall of the camp with Falconer.
Camp 27 had a total of seven Great Saint Masters. One of them was a Peak Great Saint Master and was the commander of the camp. Of the other six Great Saint Masters, one was a Middle Great Saint Master and the other five were Primary Great Saint Masters.
That Advanced Great Saint Master was called Bushilon. The people here all called him Lord Bushilon, which was very easy to misunderstand as "he doesn't beat people". The Middle Great Saint Master Yao Li Xilong was the deputy commander of the camp. People called him 'Lord Yao'. It sounded like 'he wants to beat someone', so the camp's deputy commander and commander were called 'he doesn't want to beat someone' and 'he wants to beat someone'. It made people's heads spin, but it was still easy to remember.
The five Primary Great Saint Masters were not from the Gu Chilong family, but like Guo Shier and the others, they were Senior Professionals who were forcibly captured. They were the captains of the five brigades in the camp and had a certain status and authority.
There were not many Advanced Great Saint Masters in Guo Shier's group. There were only six Advanced Great Saint Masters, eight Intermediate Great Saint Masters, and the rest were Primary Great Saint Masters. Therefore, Advanced Great Saint Masters were very popular. The five captains fought over them until their necks turned red.
Lord Bu sat calmly at the side, while Lord Yao looked on with a grin.
When the five captains were about to fight, Lord Yao said, "Alright, stop fighting. I have already assigned them." The five captains were unhappy. Since they had already been assigned, they should have said it earlier. Waiting until they were about to fall out with each other before saying it was done was to deliberately make the five of them fall out.
Guo Shier and Falconer were assigned to the first squad. Since Guo Shier was an Advanced Great Saint Master, he took up the position of a squadron leader. He was in charge of three squads. Each squad had about a hundred people. Falconer became his first squad leader. In fact, neither Guo Shier nor Falconer wanted to be a squad leader. However, they were Advanced Great Saint Masters and had to take up certain positions.
A squad had ten squadrons, so there should be about three thousand five hundred Great Saint Masters. Five squads meant seventeen thousand five hundred people. However, the number of Great Saint Masters was not enough. The five squads only had a total of fifteen thousand people. Of course, to be able to enter a squad, one had to be at least a Master. Below the Master level, Great Saint Masters could only do odd jobs. They were the hardest group of people because there were very few opportunities to obtain points.
Guo Shier was the tenth squadron leader of the first squad. It was the weakest squadron. There were only about two hundred people, and he had not seen his own squad members yet.
There were more than ninety thousand people in the camp. There were no ordinary people, only professionals. The life of a low level Saint Master was very difficult. There were very few ways for them to obtain points. The main way to obtain points was to serve high level Saint Masters and exchange them for a few points. Everyone strived to advance. Once they reached the Master level, they would be able to join a squad and obtain a stable amount of points.
The Saint Master camp was divided into two parts. The first part was the front camp. It was very messy. All the low level Saint Masters lived in the front camp. The back camp was where the five squads lived. There were all tents and it was about a kilometer away from the front camp.
The Advanced Saint Masters were the squadron leaders. The Intermediate Saint Masters were the squad leaders. The Primary Saint Masters were the squad leaders. Each squad had about twenty people. Because there was a shortage of squadron leaders, there were many Intermediate Saint Masters who became squadron leaders. If it wasn't for Falconer's insistence on following Guo Shier, he would have become a squadron leader.
The first squad leader was a Primary Great Saint Master, Qian Rongyao. He was a Great Saint Master from a remote continent. He had been captured here 30 years ago. At the time, he was only a Primary Saint Master. He had climbed his way up to the position of the first squad leader. With his points and experience, he could have left a long time ago. However, he was determined not to leave. This person was one of the most senior Saint Masters here.
Guo Shier, Falconer, and the other three Saint Masters who were part of the first squad followed Qian Rongyao out of the hall. Qian Rongyao was a middle-aged man. He was a Primary Talisman Great Saint Master. Although at the Great Saint Master level, the difference between talisman and talisman professions wasn't that great, those who advanced from the talisman professions all retained a rather violent habit.
Qian Rongyao's face was full of beard. This made Guo Shier think of Sun Miner. When he thought of how Qian Rongyao wasn't willing to go to the Jade Realm, Guo Shier's mind flashed with a trace of doubt. Could it be that this fellow knew that this was a trap? He immediately rejected this thought. Sun Miner's rank was too low. It was impossible for him to have any connection with the Gu Xilong clan.
After walking for about ten minutes, everyone arrived at the back of the camp. This was the camp where the first squad was stationed. There were a total of five camps. They were scattered messily at the back of the camp. The first squad's camp was on the left side. There were more than one thousand five hundred tents, densely arranged. In Guo Shier's eyes, this kind of arrangement was not only messy, it was also very unsafe.
In front of the tents was an empty space that had been leveled. There were many Saint Masters moving about. Some were practicing, while others were training in combat.
When Qian Rongyao brought Guo Shier and the other four in, there was immediately a clamor: "Lord Qian is here!" Everyone immediately surrounded him. Qian Rongyao scolded jokingly: "You bastards! Alright, there are newcomers this time. But … they are all powerful fellows. Go and call all the platoon leaders over! "
"Lord Qian?"
Guo Shier felt very speechless. The camp commander told him not to hit people. The deputy commander wanted to hit people. The platoon leader he was in was asking for a beating. This was simply preposterous.
"Wow, newcomers. Lord Qian, didn't you send over a batch of newcomers a few days ago? Why are there newcomers again? "
"Idiot, this is a Sacred Teacher!"
Qian Rongyao said: "Disperse, disperse. We have to gather later. Quickly settle your matters and go to the field! Do you hear me? These bastards! "He was scolding them, but his face was full of smiles. It could be seen that he had a lot of prestige in the squad.
The Saint Masters dispersed. Someone said: "I wonder how the newcomers are like this time? I hope they are a bit more powerful. "
There was a very large tent near the field. That was Qian Rongyao's residence. There were many low level Saint Masters who were busy. They were all people who served him. When they saw Qian Rongyao coming over, they immediately bowed respectfully.
The tent was very large and spacious. The ground was covered with thick beast skin. However, it was very dirty. The fur on the beast skin had mostly fallen off. Only a portion of the fur was left, and the color was not clear. The main seat was a large wooden stool. Qian Rongyao sat down. A low level Saint Master came in with a wooden tray. There were six cups of clear water on it.
Qian Rongyao said: "Drink a cup of water. The water here is very scarce. You have to use points to exchange for it. One point can exchange for a bottle of clear water that weighs 50 kilograms. You will know in the future that life here is very difficult. Regardless of food or drink, you have to use points to exchange for it."
Guo Shier noticed that the low level Saint Master was carrying the water. His lips were dry and cracked. His eyes were staring at the clear water in the cups. One by one, he brought them to everyone. Everyone took a cup of clear water. Guo Shier took the cup on the wooden tray and handed it to that Saint Master: "I'm not thirsty. You drink it."
That person revealed a pleasantly surprised expression. He hesitated for a moment before looking at Qian Rongyao.
Qian Rongyao said: "I told you to drink, so drink it. Why are you looking at me!"
After that person expressed his thanks, he took the cup and walked out of the tent. He did not drink it immediately.
Guo Shier had a ghastly feeling. He asked: "If I don't have points … what do I do?"
Qian Rongyao said: "Everyone has a basic point. It's just a matter of how much. For example, a Talisman Master has 6 points a month. They won't starve to death, but it won't be easy … A Master Saint Master, as long as they join a large group, would have at least 20 points a month. The highest would be 60 points, corresponding to the middle and high levels. It's the same for Mad Masters and Saint Masters."
"For example, your points are very high. Beginner Saint Masters have 200 points. Intermediate Saint Masters have 400 points. Advanced Saint Masters have 600 points. Being a Team Leader will give you 50 points. Being a Team Leader will give you 100 points. Being a Squadron Leader is different. It will directly give you 400 points. Hence … you have 1000 points every month. It's enough for you to use. "
As they spoke, the Saints walked in one by one.
Qian Rongyao asked: "Is everyone here?"
"Lord Qian, everyone is here!"
Qian Rongyao said: "Alright, let me introduce the newcomers. En, you guys can register yourselves."
Guo Shier nodded: "Advanced Talisman Saint Master, Guo Shier."
Falconer said: "Intermediate Talisman Saint Master, Falconer."
