Chapter 2120: B37-008
Unexpectedly, after sending the serial number to the Under Dimension, a reply came quickly. The other party recognized the material and rules of this instrument, and combined with a string of special serial numbers, it was basically confirmed to come from a district under the B37 wormhole point. This district is very friendly to external players, offering them high-paying jobs. Players short on money can come here to find work, especially for some well-selling instruments, where players often go to work.
Xu Huo got on the train before starting to look up information about this district.
This district has a pretty good reputation. The district government and most of the player organizations within it promote a philosophy: they will definitely create a district suitable for players to live in.
The "suitable" here doesn't just mean providing players with a good living environment, but creating a world where players can "retire" without any worries. It aims to give players who have been severely injured and can no longer be active in instances, or who can't stand the fear and anxiety of daily life and want to return to a normal life, a peaceful and secure "home."
And they are doing a good job. Many players who don't want to or aren't suited to live in the game come here to settle down. Of course, most players are not short of money, and even if they are, the district can provide some simple jobs to ensure they can live without problems. Because natural resources are abundant enough, the government has no problem supporting these players.
Of course, accepting a large number of players who have withdrawn from the game doesn't mean this district is weak. The players who come to settle down because of its reputation, along with the technology and instruments, are enough to ensure the district's safety. Additionally, its relationship with the Game Government is very close. Past related news mentioned that the Game Government had donated three space starships and provided multiple special subsidies for government players—just on the surface, this district has a good relationship with the Game Government.
Besides the Game Government base, there are also pharmaceutical companies and laboratories under the Stellar Pharmaceuticals Group, Stellar Machinery Manufacturing, Stellar High-Tech Company, Stellar Natural Research Company, and even Stellar Entertainment. Stellar companies, which are almost never seen in other districts, have sprung up here like a cluster. They operate normally here, producing and working just like ordinary companies.
It's worth mentioning that B37 wormhole point 008 district has no Super Players, but this district has no random instances.
Such convenience is hard to attribute to anything other than the Game Government pulling strings behind the scenes.
With so many Stellar-affiliated companies, naturally more players come "attracted by the reputation." Whether to cause trouble for the Stellar Group or to reap benefits, there are definitely people targeting Stellar Group's subsidiaries. Therefore, this district has a lot of attack news, but most of it fizzles out with no follow-up. However, the reports about 008 district are mostly positive. Based on information provided by other players on the Under Dimension, it's indeed more common for external players to end up at a disadvantage.
This is actually easy to understand. Even if the Stellar Group isn't the development company that truly controls the game, it certainly holds the game's lifeline. Whether it's items or instruments, it's too easy to restrict players in specific situations. It's expected that players leave empty-handed.
Five days later, Xu Huo got off at B37-008. As soon as he walked into the station, an electronic screen appeared in front of him, accompanied by a pleasant female voice: "Welcome to District 008. This is the players' preferred home."
"Next, I will record your physical characteristics. Please note that the information of the current passerby will be your only identity authentication in District 008. I will periodically check whether you match the current characteristics. If your information cannot be detected, or if it differs significantly from the original authentication, your safety score will immediately decrease. Once the safety score falls below sixty, District 008 will no longer welcome you. Players must be careful not to easily change their physical characteristics and not to violate the laws and regulations of District 008, otherwise you may be pursued."
After the serious warning came a playful addition: "But changing clothes, accessories, and hairstyles is allowed!"
During the prompt, the instrument that appeared behind Xu Huo had already circled him once, giving a successful recording prompt. Then the electronic screen in front disappeared, replaced by welcome words in the station hall and friendly reminders for external guests.
The station was large, but players didn't need to walk out. After the physical characteristics were recorded, a single door frame stood a few meters ahead. The electronic screen beside it indicated this was a city teleportation portal. No matter where you wanted to go, just input the location and walk through, and you'd arrive instantly the next second.
Such teleportation portals filled the station, allowing guests to be sent for free to any corner of the city where the station was located.
Xu Huo went to the nearest commercial street, bought a watch terminal, and from the Message Collection Terminal found a contact point for information reselling. He bought any information about the Rabbit Ear Amusement Park from the past month from a member inside.
Soon, the other party sent him the requested information.
As an amusement park beneficial for both adults and children, the company behind Rabbit Ear Amusement Park also involved transportation, holographic imaging, food, entertainment, and other industries. In these materials, the starships under the Rabbit Ear Amusement Park's name were all shared with the district government or player organizations. They were assets that anyone who needed them could use, with no fixed holder. So even if a starship temporarily bore the Rabbit Ear Amusement Park's name, it didn't mean the user was Rabbit Ear Amusement Park. And because the starships were used on a rotating basis, it was difficult to fully grasp their travel missions.
However, most of Rabbit Ear Amusement Park's starship travels were for cross-region play, so the park's usage schedule was relatively clear. Xu Huo carefully compared and found that Rabbit Ear Amusement Park's next play activity was a week later. According to the park's schedule, a starship must have already arrived at Rabbit Ear Amusement Park by now.
There were only a few starships on the surface in the entire 008 district. After reviewing the information, Xu Huo decided to try his luck.
During the preparation process, the amusement park would park the starship in a fixed warehouse. This place was in a relatively remote area, where tourists usually didn't come. So he found a nearby job, helping some teenagers with psychological counseling.
In fact, given the level of technology in 008 district, psychological counseling could be completely replaced by instruments. But during the growth process, teenagers inevitably experience some uncontrollable psychological changes. Disgust and rejection of machines is one of them, so human intervention is needed for mental guidance.
The workplace was a special school, not far from the Rabbit Ear Amusement Park's warehouse. After successfully applying for the job, Xu Huo took his credentials and used the teleportation portal to go directly to the school.
The school had already received the notice. A stern-looking woman with a gaunt face but a very tall stature received him. "You must be the new Teacher Xu. Just in time, a student has just made a mistake and needs psychological counseling."
A bit stuck on writing, so just one chapter today.
