The next morning, Li Xiang woke up from his bed. While he was washing up, he heard the roar of various motorcycles coming from the Polar night training grounds. Looking down from the guardrail, he could see billowing smoke and dust swirling in the air, and sand and gravel flying everywhere.
Many steam locomotives and heavy trucks with all kinds of strange emblems drove in from outside the Polar night. The mercenaries were in a flurry, and each of them had a stern look on their faces. Their auras were very strong, and it was obvious that they were not to be trifled with.
Li Xiang noticed that three of the vehicles were particularly eye-catching. One was a super off-road vehicle from Dong Ling Heavy Industries. Its four wheels were even taller than a normal steam locomotive. Another was a retro carriage with the black diamond logo of Wessex Technology Company, and the last was a special assault vehicle from the military.
They quickly packed up and sprinted down the dormitory building as usual. They came to the training grounds of their respective classes and prepared for training.
The instructors led the important figures to a convenient observation area. Then, an ear-piercing roar sounded, and everyone couldn't help but look up. A small four-seater airship kicked up a large cloud of dust and slowly landed in the middle of the training grounds.
At the same time, all the instructors suddenly stood up straight. Their eyes were serious as they stared at the cabin door that hadn't been opened yet.
"Bang!"
The old cabin door was kicked open and a one-eyed old man draped in a military coat walked out energetically. The epaulets on his shoulders were obscured, and it was impossible to see them clearly. His hair was grizzled, and he looked to be at least sixty years old.
All the instructors looked at him in unison, their eyes full of fanaticism and admiration.
"Hello, little brats." The old man smiled lazily.
"Hello, chief instructor!" At this moment, the instructors were trembling with fear like the trainees below, but their roars were loud and very infectious. Han Shi and Ge Wei smiled and went up to talk with the chief instructor.
Seeing the Chief Instructor walking towards the spectator stand, Li Xiang finally woke up from the powerful aura. He turned around and looked. Almost everyone in the front of the class could feel the inexplicable aura of the Chief Instructor.
Suppression, extreme suppression.
He stood there like an insurmountable barrier, making people feel powerless.
After the chief instructor left, they all let out a long sigh. When they came back to their senses, their bodies were soaked in sweat.
"Chief Instructor is a player of the Guardian class!" Chen Fan whispered in the queue. Li Xiang was stunned. He looked at Chen Fan again. He never thought that he would be able to see a real player at this time.
The stillness in his heart surged once more. He really wanted to know what the difference was between the players and trainees, as well as between the instructors and the magicians and apprentices.
After a while, Han Shi and the other instructors walked towards their respective classes. Han Shi had a serious look on his face. This was the first time Li Xiang had seen him so serious.
"Little brats, you better buck up later. If you don't perform well in front of the chief instructor, I'll skin you alive!" Han Shi clenched his fists, his eyes sweeping over their heads. Hearing the term "little brats," Li Xiang wanted to laugh.
That was how the chief instructor had addressed the instructors. Now that he thought about it, Han Shi's style was similar to the chief instructor's. Could he be a fan of his?
After the instructors were done, a group of well-dressed people walked over from the spectator seats.
"Fellow trainees and future players, I'm from the Black Iron-ranked organization Heaven Hunting Group in City 0127." A tall young man came in front of them and said in a loud voice, "We are the most famous adventurer group in City 0127. Our network is vast, and our members are spread across all the subsidiary towns of the numbered cities. As long as you join us as an elite reserve member, you will have countless resources and connections in the future. Many of our elite reserve members are also training in many universities. As long as you enter a university, we will pay all your tuition fees and living expenses in full. We will also provide you with thirty to fifty standard tubes of Source Substance per month, one hundred and fifty thousand Blue Star Coins …"
"Thirty to fifty standard tubes of Source Substance per month. That's more than three million Blue Star Coins per month." Li Xiang was shocked. According to this person from the Heaven Hunting Group, they spent more than sixty million Blue Star Coins per year on an elite reserve member!
What kind of concept was that? He remembered that Fei Yujing's family was the Fei Family, and their total assets were only about a billion Blue Star Coins. He did not believe that the Heaven Hunting Group would only recruit one elite reserve member.
Following that, many different organizations came forward to give speeches with attractive conditions, each more generous than the last. The order of the speeches was based on the organization's strength. Li Xiang also knew the rules of the ranking of the organizations.
Apart from the top organizations like the Five Great Thrones, the rest of the organizations were divided into five levels: Glorious Gold, Secret-Silver, Copper, Black Iron-rank, and Normal.
From the Black Iron-rank onward, the organization would definitely have at least one player in charge.
In the beginning, the dozen or so organizations that came to give speeches were all Black Iron-rank organizations from City 0127 and the nearby numbered cities. It was only when a Copper organization called the Onassis Family appeared that the level of the organization rose instantly. The conditions they offered were obviously much more generous than the ones before.
Of course, at the same time, their requirements for the trainees were also ridiculously high.
Basically, from the Copper level onward, they would only recruit the top four trainees.
Through their speeches, Li Xiang and the others finally had a substantial understanding of the importance of resources that Rocca had mentioned earlier.
The path of cultivation in the future would be extremely difficult. From potions to weapons, every step and every second would consume a huge amount of resources. If one did not have the support of a large organization when they were weak, not only would their room for improvement be limited, they might even be eaten as food!
This was also one of the reasons why many large clans were able to stand tall. The wealth and resources they possessed were unimaginable. Relying on the accumulation of resources, it was not difficult for a family member with ordinary aptitude to become a Magic Apprentice or even a Magician.
On the other hand, Li Xiang, who came from a humble background, could be said to have reached the limit of becoming a Magician on his own. Moreover, he had to be extremely talented and enter an outstanding university.
The gap between them could be measured by a chasm. In the real World of Disasters, strength was the only thing that mattered. No matter how talented you were, you would only be a speck of dust in history once you died.
Feeling this sense of oppression and suffocation, the trainees finally began to consider their future path for the first time. They began to search for organizations that were worthy of joining from the speakers.
Later on, the organizations that gave the speeches even came from other continents, such as the Subcontinent Continent, and their strength was also on a higher level.
After these organizations gave their speeches, the real three giants finally appeared.
Military Department, Dong Ling's family, Wessex Technology Company.
"Dear trainees, I come from the military department of City 0127. I won't go into too much detail about the military department. In terms of our sphere of influence, we are spread across all continents and control the core resources. Of course, as a soldier, we also have our own mission! In terms of resources and benefits, the trainees who enter from my side will be given benefits according to their special recruitment ratings. In the future, you will also receive special benefits when you apply to military universities. However, joining the military department will not give you as much freedom as they do, so please consider carefully. " The spokesperson for the military department was a major. He stood with a mighty posture and a strong aura. His introduction was also concise and clear.
Regarding the military department, it was probably the organization that everyone knew the most about. It was an important pillar that maintained the order of the various super cities. At the same time, it was also the only organization that cooperated with the players to resist the disaster!
After the military department's speech ended, a bewitching woman walked up. She wore a white lab coat and had a graceful bearing. Her snow-white legs vaguely revealed were enough to make one's mouth go dry.
"Dear trainees, I come from Wessex Technology Company. We have a close relationship with the Katas Mephistopheles Committee and are strategic partners with the Chronometer Tower Consortium. We have the most advanced steam technology and unique Origin Substance extraction technology. If you join us, you can see the details of the trainee program that we have announced to the public. Oh. "The woman suddenly paused. Her voice was very soft." We welcome any trainee with mechanical talent to join us. I am Maria. When the time comes, if you choose me as your mentor, you will receive 'special treatment' ~ "
She softly enunciated the word 'special'. Hearing this, a group of male trainees raised their eyebrows. The hormones in their bodies rapidly surged.
"Despicable! Shameless! " Some spokespersons from other organizations complained in a low voice. As the top technology company, Wessex had an indescribable advantage to begin with, but they still used this kind of honey trap.
Looking at these trainees who had been suppressed for a long time, it seemed to be working.
However, it was a good thing that their recruitment standards were inhumane. The other spokespersons didn't say anything after muttering a few times.
The last to appear was a maid from Dong Ling Heavy Industries.
She was wearing an exquisite European-style maid outfit. She was the one who helped the noble lady out of the carriage.
The Dong Ling Family and the Bai Family were known to be the two most powerful families among the five Sovereign Families. They each controlled the only two heavy industry groups in the world. The Bai Family originated in the first district of the Subcontinent and was the absolute king of the Subcontinent. The Dong Ling Family originated from the European Continent. King Dong Ling was originally from the second district of the Subcontinent. After he was defeated by King Bai, he went to the European Continent and established the top Sovereign Family there.
Therefore, as time went on, many members of the Dong Ling Family had mixed-race faces. At the same time, they had the delicate faces of the people of the Subcontinent and the blonde hair and blue eyes of the Europeans.
The Dong Ling Family had always been the epitome of luxury. The reason why the guns they produced were so expensive was because of their subversive aesthetic value.
In terms of practicality, the Bai Family's Heavy Industries was better.
The maid's wavy blonde hair and her pretty face from the Subcontinent had won the hearts of many people. She was proud. After a moment, she opened her mouth.
She was speaking the European language of steam, an ancient language that was born out of the ancient language and combined with the steam language. It was known as the most noble language of the European Continent.
Many trainees were confused. Only then did they realize that they had been eliminated by the Dong Ling Family in terms of language.
"Humph, as pretentious as ever." Han Shi secretly gave her the middle finger. Still, he was a bit envious. To be able to stay with a girl from the Dong Ling Family was a prestigious and dangerous thing. Speaking of the Dong Ling Family, Han Shi suddenly turned to Ge Wei and then to the trainee from the second class, Dong Ling Ming Xu.
