Chapter 14: Dragon Country Survivor Administration |
After walking for a while, Zhou Chen returned to his single room.
In the room, he began to browse the items in the system trading area to find a mask.
After searching the Dragon Country's trading area, he did find a few masks that were on sale, but they were very expensive. They either cost hundreds of thousands of Dragon Country bills or had to be exchanged with mid bronze-ranked items.
"Let's check the foreign areas."
Since he could not find a suitable mask in the Dragon Country's trading area, he entered a few foreign trading areas to check. For example, the Eagle Country and the Bear Country. However, after a round of searching, he realized that he was not familiar with the language of these places, so he could not understand the labels properly. He did find masks but he realized that their prices were not low in the foreign trading areas as well.
"All these lousy masks are so expensive, I won't buy them. Let's wait until I enter the dungeon."
Zhou Chen felt very displeased and directly gave up on purchasing in the trading area.
"That's not right. Although I can't bring masks into the dungeon, I can make a simple fabric mask and sew it in my undershirt. I wonder if it will succeed…"
Thinking that the system allowed clothes and shoes inside the dungeon world, Zhou Chen felt that he could try to find a loophole.
Then, he opened the Dragon Country section's system forum and began to search for posts regarding masks and clothes.
After a while, he came to a conclusion. Some of the survivors had already tried this idea, but it failed. The things sewed in the clothes would be filtered by the system!
[After many tests, I realize that the system is very strict on clothes and shoes. If you modify these things to a large extent like sewing accessories on them, the system will strip you naked.]
"Once, I wore a custom iron armor and entered an instance dungeon. In the end, I became naked. Then I wore six layers of clothes and entered, the system took off the outside five layers… So, I advise everyone not to think too much about this, it will easily backfire. Just wear comfortable and durable clothes."
This post came from a Dragon Country Survivor who was marked as mid bronze-ranked by the system in the forum. Zhou Chen believed the post was most likely true, and it quickly dispelled his thoughts on this.
Then, he began to casually read the posts on the Dragon Country forum. He quickly realized that there was a very popular post that had been pushed to the top:
[Establishment of the Dragon Country's Survivor Administration and My Words as the Director]
Zhou Chen clicked on the thread as soon as he saw it, because if the content was real, it would concern him as well.
[Hello everyone, my name is Li Guoqiang. I was originally an ordinary Dragon Country special forces soldier, but today, I have been given a heavy responsibility by the Dragon Country's higher-ups. I have been appointed as the director of the newly established Dragon Country Survivor Administration and will be in charge of various tasks related to the Survivors.
As everyone can see, I am the same as all of you, a Survivor. The only difference is that I was chosen by the system earlier than most of you. I have already completed more than 30 survival missions. If nothing unexpected happens, I will be able to level up to high bronze rank in a week.
I'm not saying this to show how strong I am or my seniority. I just want to tell everyone that I'm the same as you all. I'm a pitiful person who has been tortured by this supernatural phenomenon of unknown origin. I can completely understand your pain and fear in your Survival mission and can empathize with you.
Next, I will talk about the official attitude of our Dragon Country towards the system and Survivors.
First of all, all of you who are from the Dragon Country will enjoy all the rights and responsibilities of the Dragon Country, so you don't have to worry that the Dragon Country will use any means to oppress you. The Dragon Country will treat us like other citizens.
According to the instructions of the higher-ups, our Administration will recruit a group of Survivors. They will mainly help the Dragon Country's Research Department to study the Infinite Survival system and deal with Survivor criminals. Those who are interested, please add me as a friend to sign up.
Once you are accepted by our Administration, you will receive very good treatment. The main benefits include:
1. A daily salary of 1,000 Dragon Country bills. Food, accommodation, and medical treatment are all included.
2. Free customized high-intensity fiber clothes and shoes. After the Research Department researches a new product, you can apply for free use.
3. If anything happens, your family will receive a high amount of compensation and long-term care from the government.
4. …]
Zhou Chen quickly finished reading the thread. Then, he took out his phone and searched. Soon, he saw the announcement about the establishment of the Dragon Country Survivor Administration on the official website and the appointment of Li Guoqiang as the director.
When he clicked into the official website of the Dragon Country Survivor Administration, he quickly found a post similar to the one on the system forum.
"This thing seems to be real. The Dragon Country's response seems to be milder than I expected."
Zhou Chen had originally thought that the Dragon Country would conduct a large search of the survivors and monitor all these possible instability factors. But now, it seems that the Dragon Country's officials did not choose to do so. Instead, they took relatively gentle measures and were even publicly recruiting the Survivors to assist in scientific research.
"It's probably because there are a lot of Survivors and they have a higher level of concealment and growth potential. There are always new people turning into Survivors, making the officials feel that it's better to use gentler means."
Zhou Chen thought about it from the perspective of the Dragon Country's officials and felt that their response was understandable.
Although there was potential instability and danger from the Survivors, there were many people. New Survivors appeared every day, and it was not easy to detect all of them. There might be hidden dangers if the Survivors were offended, and it was not beneficial to their research of the infinite survival system.
"It's best if it is really like this. I don't have to go overseas to hide, and can develop in peace here."
Zhou Chen was very happy with the Dragon Country's policy for Survivors. If the Dragon Country's attitude towards Survivors was strict, his situation would be much more difficult.
"The treatment of the Dragon Country Survivor Administration seems to be really good. They've basically considered all aspects. I'm really tempted, but I won't join them."
To be honest, Zhou Chen was tempted by the treatment of the Survivor Administration, but his personality destined him to not like being restrained, so it was impossible for him to take the initiative to join unless he had no choice.
After understanding the official policies related to him, he went to check on the situation of the foreign countries. He quickly found that there was no special management department for Survivors yet, but many large companies seemed to have obtained a lot of results in the research of system items.
"It feels like the arrival of the infinite survival system is affecting Planet Blue more and more. In the future, the technology here might develop greatly…"
Zhou Chen couldn't help but think to himself.
