Chapter 33: Chapter 25: Shengtang
But regarding Tang Xian\'s arrangements, she still chose to follow them.
The mission department was on the second floor, and temporary workers couldn\'t go to the second layer to register unless they used fake IDs.
In this era, it was very difficult to forge documents. Tang Xian knew two people capable of forging IDs.
One had been sent to the prison in Fortress Number Nineteen. The other was living quite well, but his identity kept changing, and Tang Xian had lost contact with him.
He certainly did not need to resort to forgery, but the sudden recollection of such a person sparked some other plans in his mind.
"Will we be recruiting team members later on?"
"This question has been answered before."
"Oh… So, Tang, who do you plan to find?"
"Let\'s skip that question for now."
Tang Xian hadn\'t figured out a reason for recruiting team members.
A small team consists of six people; he had to recruit four. They needed to be not only exceptional in ability but also obedient, which was somewhat troublesome.
Moreover, with too many talents, Tang Xian was not content with establishing just a single team. However, there was no need to think too far ahead at the moment.
The second layer arrived quickly.
Although it was smaller than the first layer, it took a long time to walk to the mission department. Dong Ran kept asking questions along the way.
"Tang, what will our team name be?"
Dong Ran was quite proud to be pulled into Tang Xian\'s team, as if it were a recognition of her intellect.
She had a lot to say on this topic.
Tang Xian replied occasionally just to ease the boredom.
"I haven\'t thought of one yet."
"What about team member codes! For military-registered teams, you don\'t need names, but you need codes…"
"These things aren\'t important; we can think of something on the fly when the time comes."
"It\'s very important! Our codes will be the ones displayed on the Hunter Leaderboards!"
Tang Xian suddenly stopped, and Dong Ran, who was following behind, nearly bumped into him.
Looking at Dong Ran\'s face, Tang Xian said:
"Now, answer me truthfully, what are your abilities, I mean combat abilities."
The more data one could see, the stronger the combat abilities awakened in the mining area.
Such power was reflected in two aspects: the type of combat ability and the depth of the combat ability.
Dong Ran thought for a moment and replied:
"I\'m very strong... does that count? And I can attack with palm strikes."
Tang Xian nodded.
In other words, apart from the physical enhancement common to all those with natural talent, Dong Ran\'s ability in the mining area included an active skill related to palm strikes and a passive state associated with strength augmentation.
"Not bad. But that is not your most distinct feature."
A delicate-looking young lady possesses terrifying strength; Dong Ran always felt it didn\'t quite match her, but Tang Xian thought that against certain enemies who judged by appearance, it would serve as a kind of smokescreen.
Tang Xian continued on his way.
He started planning the position assignments of the team members.
This was an issue that could be considered immediately, so many of Dong Ran\'s later topics, such as whether to look for male or female teammates, those from the same fortress or different ones, famed or unknown, were all brushed off by Tang Xian with "We will discuss it later."
They soon reached the mission department.
As one of the national institutions, even though this was the second layer, the opulence of the building was completely different from other structures. The expenditure on constructing the mission department could compare with many buildings on the fourth layer.
Tang Xian saw quite a few people.
There were tall, short, thin, and fat people, all dressed more formally than Tang Xian; after all, those who could enter were at least official workers.
Tang Xian didn\'t care, these people were actually very ordinary.
After entering the mining area, some of them could be powerful hunters, warriors, assassins, or healers amongst living and dead flesh and bone.
But once they left the mining area, they were just ordinary humans.
The mining area is a network game created by God, and this rule is also related to that saying.
Once they left the mining area, all those with natural talents reverted to ordinary people.
Tang Xian was an exception.
Without further delay, Tang Xian went straight to the place for creating a team.
The hunter team establishment area had a small window; the reviewer was a middle-aged man going through a midlife crisis, balding, with more than half of his hair already gone, revealing a Central Sea.
No one else was around; others who came here were mostly to submit missions and collect rewards.
Tang Xian knocked on the window.
The middle-aged man glanced at Tang Xian, looked at his attire, and raised an eyebrow, saying:
"Can I help you?"
"Yes, I\'d like to establish a hunter team."
"Fifty grams of blue organic ore, the fee for creating the team," the man said bluntly, thumb and middle finger pressing down in a gesture indicating that there was a fee for team creation.
Tang Xian looked at the middle-aged man\'s panel.
Current Honesty Level: 5 (Talks big, says little)
Current Needs Analysis: [Extort money from the young man in front (45%)]
Tang Xian didn\'t say much, promptly handing over the money to the middle-aged man, which somewhat surprised him.
Dong Ran, who was there for the first time to register a team, didn\'t know the procedure and would have faced no extortion had she simply shown her identity card with Tang Xian.
But seeing Tang Xian pay readily, she also assumed that was probably the rule. A necessary expense.
Tang Xian didn\'t explain and watched the bald man open the registration software.
"Registering a team requires six people, why are there only two of you?"
