【You have set foot on the land of Saint-Malo, the city's hustle and bustle carried by the sea breeze.】
【Walking straight along the road, you'll find the most prosperous area of Saint-Malo, which is also the political center of Saint-Malo. The castle built with huge stones is the best proof of this.】
【Take a stroll around the port. It's a hub where various information spreads quickly. Perhaps you can gather some news here, and of course, you can also find a good job.】
【Where are you going next?】
After reading the description of the new place, Wang Xun finally started exploring step by step based on his game experience, since there was nothing urgent.
【You decide to wander around the port, and you discover new locations】
【General Store】【Blacksmith】【Dock】【Naval Base】
After a moment of thought, Wang Xun decided to go to the blacksmith, because in his backpack there was also a damaged one-handed sword called 'Wind Whisper'.
【You have arrived at the blacksmith in Saint-Malo, the sound of hammering and the heat wave rush towards you.】
【The shop is divided into two areas. On one side of the wall, there are various exquisite weapons and equipment, while on the other side, a group of blacksmiths are forging in front of the furnace.】
【Your arrival has obviously attracted the attention of the shop owner. An old blacksmith with a gray beard walks over and asks what help you need.】
The text stopped here, but Wang Xun also understood the interaction method of this type of game, and immediately took out the one-handed sword 'Wind Whisper' from his backpack.
【You have lost the one-handed sword 'Wind Whisper'】
【Looking at the exquisite longsword in front of him, the old blacksmith exclaimed, 'A rare masterpiece.'】
【During your conversation with the old blacksmith, you learn that repairing this weapon will cost you 200 gold coins.】
【Do you want to repair the one-handed sword 'Wind Whisper'?】
“So expensive?! This is real gold!”
Wang Xun couldn't help but complain about the price, but he didn't want to give up on this seemingly good weapon, after all, it was the best weapon he had at the moment.
【Repair.】
【-200 gold coins.】
【The blacksmith tells you that you can come to the blacksmith shop to pick it up tomorrow.】
After resolving the equipment issue, Wang Xun's attention turned to other options.
After a little thought, he directly passed the 【Dock】, after all, he didn't have a ship right now.
Then the remaining options were to go to the general store or check out what the navy base was for.
If you discover this tale on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the violation.
Soon, Wang Xun exited the general store interface, it was because he had overestimated it, there were indeed many things in the general store.
But they weren't anything special, but he still bought a few small items, because he found that some things could actually be equipped in the clothing slot of the character panel, which added a bit of fun.
But just as Wang Xun was about to click on the remaining options.
The text changed again on its own.
【A soldier in navy uniform is walking towards your location, as he gets closer, you finally confirm that he is coming for you.】
“??What's this all about?”
With questions swirling, Wang Xun could only wait for the text to progress.
【During your communication with the soldiers, you learned that they know about your deeds of defeating the pirates. His arrival is to invite you to join the navy.】
【Do you accept?】
“This is... a faction choice?!”
Seeing this, Wang Xun realized that he had probably encountered a special event or had enough reputation to trigger a faction choice.
However, Wang Xun didn't have any special needs at the moment, so he simply chose to accept and prepare to go in and take a look.
【You have accepted the navy's invitation.】
【Following behind the soldier, you arrived at the new recruit registration office of the Saint-Malo naval base.】
【But just as they were recording your identity information, the recruiting officer seemed to notice some details.】
【You have lost the item 'Borg's Letter of Introduction'.】
【You have been exempted from the identity verification process.】
“Well, it seems you need a background to do anything in this world.”
Wang Xun sighed for a moment, then looked at the subsequent text again.
【You have joined the navy faction, you have unlocked the special building 'Training Ground', where you can train your skills.】
After a quick look at the description of the training ground, Wang Xun quickly understood its purpose: a place to safely enhance abilities.
And most importantly, this thing allows his character to AFK in the 'training ground' even when he's offline.
After trying out the new features for a bit, Wang Xun took his hands off the phone and leaned back.
Let the game idle for a while, I didn't sleep well last night.
......
“Beep beep beep!”
Accompanied by a series of urgent message tones, Wang Xun was startled awake.
“Ugh~mm”
“Sleeping for a while feels much better, who sent the message?”
Wang Xun reached for his charging phone on the table, but his good mood quickly soured after reading the message content.
【Hello Comrade Wang Xun, this is the Special Affairs Department of the Huaguo National Security Bureau. According to the document 《xxxx》, we hope you can go to the local relevant department to complete information registration as required.】
Then there were several photos of Wang Xun on his way home, one of which even recorded the moment he changed his character template.
?????
‘Damn, there are surveillance cameras in that ghost place?! Am I exposed?!!’
‘This shouldn't get me thrown in jail, right? I did save someone yesterday.’
After some initial bewilderment, Wang Xun quickly calmed down and clicked on the link in the message to view the file contents.
After all, they sent him a message instead of directly coming to his door, which was clearly giving him time to think.
“Well, if it’s a blessing, it’s a blessing; if it’s a disaster, there’s no avoiding it.”
“Let’s go, let’s take a look!”
Wang Xun sorted out his thoughts a bit and then took a taxi to the address described in the file information.
There was no way to avoid this anyway, so he might as well face the problem and see what the official attitude was.
As the vehicle moved forward, Wang Xun soon discovered that his destination was actually an administrative building without a nameplate in the center of Rong City.
And across the street from this building was the Rong City Public Security Bureau. Sure enough, it was a national department; the location alone made it clear that it was no ordinary unit.
After registering his name at the gate, a young woman wearing a T-shirt and a sun-protective jacket walked out of the courtyard.
She walked straight towards the entrance and then sized up Wang Xun before saying,
“You’re Wang Xun? You look alright. Come with me.”
Seeing her attitude, Wang Xun was a bit puzzled. Her tone made it sound like she was seeing an acquaintance.
However, she didn’t say much, and Wang Xun could only follow her with his questions.
Soon, she led him to a conference room.
The walls of the entire conference room were covered with various cultural propaganda, which was consistent with Wang Xun's image of those public institutions.
Seeing that Wang Xun didn't ask any questions, the other party smiled slightly and then spoke.
“When did you enter the game? What level are you?”
