Chapter 400: Exile

After the monk left, it was finally Zhang Zhiwen's turn.

"What brings you here?" The monk in charge of registration raised his eyes and looked at Zhang Zhiwen, and then asked, his tone was normal.

Only then did Zhang Zhiwen come to his senses, then handed over the token and said, "I'm here to report."

"Well, give me the token." The monk in charge of registration looked as if he was used to it and didn't ask any questions. He took Zhang Zhiwen's token, scanned it, nodded, and opened a booklet. , registered Zhang Zhiwen, and then said: "You know the situation in our miscellaneous hall?" Do you understand? If you don’t understand, I can explain the situation to you, but you’d better be mentally prepared. Our Miscellaneous Affairs Hall is the place with the worst conditions in Tongtian City, and it is also the most difficult place to obtain reputation points. If you fail to complete a certain amount of tasks, your reputation points will be deducted! "

Zhang Zhiwen was quite surprised when he heard this, because he didn't expect that there was such a punishment mechanism here. This reminded him of the situation when he was in the Chamber of Commerce, and it was the same at that time.

The monk was a little surprised to see Zhang Zhiwen, and he seemed to have some sympathy. Then he continued: "Actually, there is nothing we can do about it. I also act according to the rules..."

Then, the monk began to say some things that Zhang Zhiwen didn't know. After Zhang Zhiwen listened, he understood.

It turns out that this monk's name is Zhou Daguan, and he calls himself Lao Zhou. Lao Zhou is just a monk on duty here in the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall, and he is also here to serve, and because he was injured, he had to come here temporarily to serve, because here While on duty, the reputation value obtained every month is very low.

Lao Zhou told Zhang Zhiwen that the situation here is very bad, and there is no money to be made. Those with some connections will not come to the Logistics Department. In comparison, there is more money in the Ordnance Department and the Barracks Department.

The logistics department does not have any resources, such as the alchemy hall. If you want to make alchemy, you have to go outside to collect elixirs. Tongtian City does not provide these things, and the same is true for the weapon refining hall. They also go out to mine by themselves. Anyway, the Immortal Alliance Nothing will be provided.

Anyway, the monks here have to pay for their own money, and then they can continue to stay after completing the tasks every month. Otherwise, their reputation points will be deducted. If their reputation points are gone, they will be taken directly to the military prison and imprisoned.

As for the Ordnance Department and the Barracks Department, monks like them who have no background or identity are generally not allowed to go there. Only those with some connections can go there. Of course it is different there. The Ordnance Department is only responsible for maintenance and repairs. Ordnance and the Barracks Department are responsible for duty, and their pay is better than that of the Logistics Department. It's much better, and there is less work, and there is no punishment. Only when monsters or monsters attack, the monks in the Ordnance Department and Barracks Department will feel a little pressure, but under normal circumstances, there are almost no monsters and monsters outside. They won't attack Tongtian City, and sometimes they won't attack once in more than ten years.

Only then did Zhang Zhiwen realize that Lin Zhiping was really planning to put him to death. No wonder Lin Zhiping agreed to sign for him. Lin Zhiping had already prepared these follow-up methods to deal with him, regardless of whether it was the Ordnance Department or the barracks. Department, or Logistics Department, the commander-in-chief of the Immortal Alliance in these places is the Immortal Alliance leader. Only the city guard is the leader who takes office. In fact, the leader almost never comes here. Some monks are sent here to take charge.

Of course, the one with the most wealth is naturally the Ministry of Commerce. The Ministry of Commerce is also under the jurisdiction of the General Military. Therefore, basically the main affairs of Tongtian City are under the responsibility of the Immortal League Leader, who rarely interferes with the affairs here. In this way, Come on, although Lin Zhiping has not been on duty in the logistics department, But he can still easily deal with Zhang Zhiwen through his personal connections, because these people are all leaders of the Immortal Alliance, and they must be in communication with each other. He has to deal with Zhang Zhiwen, a first-class disciple of the Immortal Alliance who has no background. , that is absolutely extremely easy.

Let’s talk about the situation of each branch of the Logistics Department. The leader of this branch is second only to the general soldier. Basically, the first-class disciples are responsible for the rotation. Therefore, Zhang Zhiwen can logically become a leader of the Logistics Department. , but now Lin Zhiping has not recommended him at all, so Zhang Zhiwen can only become the lowest level existence here.

Therefore, it is not that Zhang Zhiwen's identity is not enough, but that he has no background power and has offended the leader of the Immortal Alliance like Lin Zhiping, so Zhang Zhiwen is in a difficult situation now.

However, Lao Zhou seemed not to know Zhang Zhiwen’s true identity, because the token only recorded that Zhang Zhiwen belonged to the Jindan Sect, and there was nothing else. Lao Zhou was actually a little surprised that Zhang Zhiwen came from the Jindan Sect, but Lao Zhou Zhou faintly knew that Zhang Zhiwen should have been ostracized in the Jindan Sect, otherwise he would not have ended up here. In fact, there were many monks like Zhang Zhiwen, and they were also ostracized from the Central Sect.

Later, Lao Zhou talked about the specific situation of each branch of the Logistics Department, because no matter which branch, in the final analysis, practitioners have to pay for their own money to complete the tasks, and the tasks that require a minimum of 100 reputation points every month exceed If it is done, it can be attributed to an individual. This is still very difficult. Many monks cannot complete this requirement and have wasted many years here. It is not impossible.

When it comes to the tasks of branch halls, Lao Zhou said it more carefully. For example, in the Alchemy Hall, you cannot go to Tianshui Wonderland to collect herbs, let alone leave Tongtian City, so you can only go to the coast to collect elixirs. The coast is about to leave Tongtian City, so there are monsters and monsters outside, and many monks died on the way to collect medicine.

Of course, some of them can also be collected in the area behind Tongtian City, that is, the area between Tianshui Fairyland and Tongtian City, but that area is a Gobi desert, and there are almost no elixirs, and living there The people around him were actually the family members of those monks from the declining sect who had fled and brought them with them.

As for why the monks and family members of these down-and-out sects do not leave Tianshui Fairyland, it is even simpler, because if they leave Tianshui Fairyland, where can they go? Going to Feixian City? There are no resources for the foundation building stage at all, and there are even fewer resources there, and it is a dead end. It is better to give it a try, and maybe there is hope for a re-emergence. Isn't it the same for veteran Zhang Wensheng?

At this time, Zhang Zhiwen also completely understood that the conditions here were much worse than he imagined. The Immortal Alliance would provide almost nothing, because the monsters and monsters here rarely attacked Tongtian City, which was protected by a large array. , coupled with various powerful Xuanmen mechanisms and a large number of monk guards, monsters and monsters are not fools. It is definitely impossible to come here to die for nothing.

"But no matter what, there are always some opportunities here. Look at those Taoist friends just now. They have fallen into this situation. They also hope to accumulate some reputation points in a few years and then restore the sect. With the sect, they can completely Get out of this mess."

Lao Zhou looked at Zhang Zhiwen's silent expression and comforted him. However, Zhang Zhiwen's situation was different from those of them. He was not a monk who came here after a small sect fell into disrepute. Those monks from a small sect who were down and out could naturally pass through this kind of thing. Way to restore the sect.

But even if the sect is restored, Zhang Zhiwen actually doesn't think they will have a better life in the future, because Tianshui Wonderland is being eliminated step by step, so what if they recover? Will it still be annexed by other sects by then?

So, all said and done, you still need to be strong yourself. Without strength, no matter how much you talk, it's useless.

"Of course, brother, you may be different."

When Lao Zhou saw that Zhang Zhiwen still didn't say much, he also knew that Zhang Zhiwen's situation was actually different from those of the monks who were in trouble in their sect, so he said again, "But you don't have no chance, as long as you improve the status of the Immortal Alliance , then there’s no need to worry too much.”

When Zhang Zhiwen heard this, he could only nod and express his understanding. In fact, he knew very well that the reputation of this person did not seem to be that easy to improve, and he had to be promoted to the status of the leader of the Immortal Alliance before he could compete. Lin Zhiping, how can it be so easy to be promoted to the leader of the Immortal Alliance? It requires 100,000 reputation points!

Therefore, Zhang Zhiwen couldn't help but ask: "Senior Brother Zhou, is there no other way to get reputation points faster besides refining elixirs, collecting medicines or refining weapons?"

Lao Zhou seemed to be used to Zhang Zhiwen's question. It seemed that many people had asked him this question before, because everyone wanted to increase their reputation as quickly as possible. Therefore, Lao Zhou had no choice but to smile bitterly and said: "There is no way. , many people have asked me this before, but these methods are difficult, for example..."

Lao Zhou quickly answered this question to Zhang Zhiwen, and Zhang Zhiwen finally understood that the easiest way to obtain reputation points was to kill monsters and establish military merit.

However, if you just kill ordinary foundation-building monsters or monsters, there will be no reputation value. Only if you kill the monsters or monsters of the Golden Core stage, you can get a lot of reputation points, because generally speaking, The demonic beasts or monsters in the Golden Core stage are the leaders of these demonic beasts and monsters. As long as these commanding level demonic beasts and monsters are killed, the army of demonic beasts and monsters will be self-defeating, so there will be a large number of them. Reputation value.

However, Lao Zhou also said that this situation almost does not exist now, because monsters and monsters almost never attack Tongtian City. In recent years, Tongtian City has been peaceful and there will be no such chance.

Of course, unless the monk goes out alone to kill the golden elixir stage monsters or monsters, that is also possible. But when Lao Zhou mentioned this, he obviously did not think that Zhang Zhiwen had this ability, because Zhang Zhiwen was only at the third level of foundation building. As a monk, killing the golden elixir stage monsters is nothing more than an idiot’s dream, let alone that. There are a large number of foundation-building monsters and monsters next to the golden elixir stage monsters or monsters. Even if there is only one in front of Zhang Zhiwen, Zhang Zhiwen may not be able to defeat it.

In this regard, Zhang Zhiwen also admitted that it was really impossible for him to do this with his current strength. Although killing a golden elixir stage monster could directly gain 10,000 reputation points, he also knew that this chance was almost non-existent.

"When it comes to killing monsters or beasts, that is what we monks must do, especially the monks in our logistics department. After all, whether we are refining elixirs or refining weapons, we still need to use some animal elixirs, animal skins and other materials. of……"

Lao Zhou continued to talk, seeming to be very patient with Zhang Zhiwen, but it was probably because Lao Zhou had plenty of time. After all, no one wanted to register with him at this time. It was quite boring for him to be here alone, so he gave Zhang Zhiwen a detailed explanation. Come.

After listening to it, Zhang Zhiwen certainly felt that it made sense. Moreover, Lao Zhou mentioned some fairy islands near the coast of the Endless Sea. He said that many demon beasts and monsters came from those places. Those fairy islands have good resources, a large number of spiritual medicines and mineral veins, and this is also where monks often go to adventure.

This is Lao Zhou pointing out the direction for Zhang Zhiwen. Otherwise, Zhang Zhiwen, who has just arrived, naturally does not know where to get resources.

"There is an island with the most resources. It is said that there are a lot of Daoyi stones there. Haha, but I also heard that because that island is very dangerous and gathers a lot of demon beasts and monsters. But if you have the opportunity to go up, you can get a lot of resources..."

Old Zhou continued to tell Zhang Zhiwen about the situation here. Old Zhou obviously stayed here for a long time and was very clear about some things in Tongtian City and even the islands outside. At the end, he whispered to Zhang Zhiwen that if there are any spiritual medicines or good resources, don't rush back, otherwise Tongtian City will plunder all these things, which is not worth it.

"But you should be most careful of those people outside. You know, the outside is not under the control of our Tongtian City. It is lawless and can do anything..."

Old Zhou then reminded Zhang Zhiwen to be careful. Obviously, the situation outside should be more chaotic, similar to the situation outside Feixian City. Anyway, it is lawless, and it will definitely be a world of the survival of the fittest.

Zhang Zhiwen was only at the third level of foundation building, so Lao Zhou specifically reminded him and told him that it would be safer to go out in a team.

In this way, Zhang Zhiwen had a clearer understanding of the situation of the entire ancient battlefield. This so-called ancient battlefield was not a place to fight against demon beasts and monsters, because demon beasts and monsters knew that there was a Tongtian City here. This Tongtian City was just like an iron city, and these things would not easily attack in large numbers.

Then the so-called various departments here are actually serving the Immortal Alliance, such as the armory, barracks and business department, which are basically the places where the various forces of the Immortal Alliance make money, and the logistics department is the place that provides a large number of cheap resources to the Immortal Alliance, such as the Fa Yuan Dan, which does not cost money here, just give some reputation points, and it's done. Similarly, various magic tools do not cost money, just give some reputation points, and the same is true for other things. This is really a matter of making a lot of money without any investment, and you will be punished if you fail to complete the task. So this is not a place to serve, it is simply a place to imprison cheap labor, and in fact it is also true, because this is originally a place of exile, so the Immortal Alliance is really smart in this calculation.

So, Zhang Zhiwen finished registering, he said goodbye to Lao Zhou and came out, but as soon as he came out, a group of people surrounded him and surrounded Zhang Zhiwen, and then a guy who was the leader of the group came out, he squinted his eyes and looked at Zhang Zhiwen, and then said with a bad look: "Hey, are you the new one?"
