Wasteland's Only King - Chapter 355 - 87: New Subordinates Arrive! Citizen Registration and Benefits! V-Class Citizen? (Part 2)
The plaza covered a vast area, its whole surface paved with a material that looked very much like white jade.
On the ground of the plaza, one could see many flowing streaks of deep blue radiance.
“This…”
Zhou Hao still had no idea what was going on.
Until—
“Stand firm!”
Ye Ye suddenly raised his voice and shouted.
“?”
Whoosh—!
Zhou Hao suddenly felt his vision go dark.
His feet also stumbled for a moment.
Then…
When he opened his eyes again and clearly saw the scene before him, he was stunned.
The couple Ye Wentian and his wife in the team, along with more than four thousand others, were all stunned as well.
“This…”
“A Teleportation Array?”
“The Teleportation is completed?”
“Where are we now?”
Zhou Hao fired off questions one after another, while also observing the surroundings.
Compared to the vast Star River just now, and the sci-fi-laden air harbor.
At this moment…
He felt even more like he was standing in a prosperous futuristic metropolis!
Even though he was currently standing on a spacious plaza.
But…
With just a slight lift of his head, he could see, not far away, one skyscraper after another hundreds, even thousands of meters tall.
The buildings as a whole refracted crystal-like radiance, and in the sky between building and building, one could see streaks of flowing light.
Zhou Hao squinted his eyes before he finally saw clearly what was within those streaks of light—
Those were assembly-line… cars?
Flying cars?
Besides that.
A constant clamor of bustling noise also reached Zhou Hao’s ears.
“Mm, we’ve arrived.”
“We are now truly standing on the main body of Dawn Fortress!”
“Those air harbors from before were actually all just located on the Ring of the Sky.”
At the very front of the group, Ye Ye spoke loudly.
As his voice fell.
Whoosh—
Whoosh whoosh—
A few streaks of flowing light flew over from the edge of the plaza and stopped in front of Ye Ye.
The flowing light dissipated, revealing a few figures in silver-white uniforms, each with a powerful aura.
After that.
Zhou Hao saw them say a few words he couldn’t understand, something about “identity verification” and “permissions.”
Then…
Ye Ye led Zhou Hao and the others away from the plaza.
“According to the announcement just issued by Lord Yin Yao—”
“You batch of newly arrived players need to first go together to the Municipal Office to register your citizen identity and, while you’re at it, claim your citizen benefits.”
“Oh, right.”
“Before long, there will also be a Knowledge popularization lecture personally conducted by Lord Wu Yufei, and you are required to attend.”
“Lord Wu Yufei is versed in countless Knowledge; with his help, you can more quickly understand and integrate into the current Dawn Fortress.”
After Ye Ye finished introducing this to everyone, he paused slightly, then continued:
“Now, I’ll take you to the Municipal Hall.”
“The Municipal Hall is located beneath the Tower of the Sky.”
“The Tower of the Sky…”
Ye Ye now took on the role of a tour guide, stretching out his hand to point ahead of the crowd, at that geometric giant tower standing in the center of the fortress, incomparably lofty and towering, almost piercing straight into the nebulae.
“That is the supreme place of Dawn Fortress.”
“It is also the usual residence of the Supreme Lord.”
“Aside from the Lord.”
“The other high-level administrators of Dawn Fortress are basically all there as well.”
…
…
Dawn Fortress.
The Tower of the Sky.
As the fortress’s core facility in the true sense.
The Tower of the Sky was located in the central region of the fortress.
Beneath it lay an incomparably vast plaza, easily large enough to accommodate over a hundred million people.
One had to know—
Even an ordinary Super Large Fortress wouldn’t dare claim it could hold a population of over a hundred million.
But Dawn Fortress clearly did not belong to the category of “ordinary.”
Its scale alone was several times that of a typical Super Large Fortress.
Not to mention—
Dawn Fortress, equipped with a High Dimension core, possessed internal technology for multiple layers of folded Space.
This made the true internal area of the fortress more than a hundred times that of an ordinary Super Large Fortress.
Sky Plaza was the name of this plaza.
On the plaza, people were packed shoulder to shoulder.
Shouts of惊讶 and excited cries echoed constantly in every corner of the plaza.
Zhou Hao and the more than four thousand people of his tribe were also standing on the plaza at this moment.
Around them stood crowds just like them—Blue Star players who had just arrived at the fortress from Morning Star.
In just this short half day.
Already over ten million players from Morning Star had arrived at the fortress.
At this moment.
They were lining up in long, dragon-like queues under the staff’s guidance.
Orderly completing citizen registration procedures and receiving citizen benefits.
“We’re there, almost there.”
Zhou Hao stared at the few remaining back-of-heads in front of him, taking deep breaths to steady his mood.
Ye Ye and Laya were no longer here by now.
Because of Commander Ye Ye’s identity, Ye Wentian and his wife enjoyed a priority channel for registration and welfare collection, so they had parted from the crowd long ago.
Precisely because of this.
Up to this moment, Zhou Hao still had no idea how the citizen registration actually worked.
And—
What exactly was included in these so-called citizen benefits.
For ease of management, Blue Star players who finished registration and collected their benefits at the front of the line all left from the other end of the plaza.
And the registration itself was completed inside a sealed temporary building; those at the back of the line couldn’t see what was happening.
“Next!”
At last.
As a shout rang out, the anxious yet expectant Zhou Hao stepped forward.
Swish—
The moment he walked into the temporary building, his vision went hazy.
Then…
“Robots?”
Zhou Hao stared at the dozen-plus humanoid Mecha standing in front of him, stunned on the spot.
[Beep—]
[Identity information scanning…]
[Scan complete!]
[Blue Star player identity confirmed!]
[Name: Zhou Hao!]
[Tier: Tier Four!]
[…]
Zhou Hao was still in a daze when crisp, icy mechanical voices were already sounding by his ears.
The speaker was the humanoid Mecha not far ahead.
[According to the “Dawn Fortress Citizen Management Measures 3.0″…]
[Blue Star player Zhou Hao is hereby granted V-Class Citizen status!]
[V-Class Citizens enjoy basic citizen benefits!]
[Please strive to raise your own Tier in the time to come!]
[When your Evolver Tier is promoted to Tier Nine, you will automatically be promoted to IV-Class Citizen!]
The humanoid Mecha recited coldly.
At the instant the words fell—
“Hiss—!”
Zhou Hao suddenly felt a sharp sting from his palm.
When he lowered his head, he discovered…
There was an additional Special Mark on his palm.
The mark was composed of Blue Star script, shaped like the word “Dawn,” its edges inlaid with blue-gold patterns.
And in the background of the mark, there was a clear silver Roman numeral “V.”
“Your citizen benefits have been issued to your Personal Warehouse!”
“Please claim them in a timely manner!”
“Your temporary address and Permission Key have been sent to your Personal Mailbox, please check!”
“Registration process complete…”
“Please leave this area as soon as possible!”
These last few sentences were no longer the cold mechanical voice.
They were a crisp, magnetic female voice sounding directly in the depths of Zhou Hao’s mind.
“Uh?”
Zhou Hao was still in a daze.
Swish——
He felt another wave of dizziness.
The scene before his eyes changed accordingly.
He was now standing at the other end of the plaza, where many Blue Star players just like him, having just completed registration, were either curiously bewildered or screaming their heads off.
“Citizen benefits?”
“Personal Warehouse?”
“Personal Mailbox?”
“I don’t understand any of this…”
Zhou Hao muttered, but on a sudden impulse, he used his left-hand finger to lightly tap the Special Mark on his right palm.
Swish——
A semi-transparent light screen instantly unfolded before him.
[Name: Zhou Hao]
[Citizen Level: V Class]
[Citizen ID Number: …]
[…]
[Personal Warehouse Items——]
[Tier Four Energy Crystal *10]
[Tier Five Energy Crystal *10]
[…]
[Tier Nine Energy Crystal *10]
[Personal Mailbox——]
[Address Information: Apartment, No. 156 Chenghua Avenue, West Eighth Ring, Dawn Fortress]
[Permission Key: Authorized (90 days)]
[Personal Wealth——]
[Dawn Coin: 10,000]
[Note: Dawn Coin is a universal currency issued by Dawn Fortress and can be obtained by completing missions or working]
[The Dawn Coins currently in your account were obtained as citizen benefits]
On the plaza.
Zhou Hao stared blankly at the lines of text on the light screen, unable to recover for a long time…
