After introducing Kalio to them, Valkyrie was reprimanded, "I still have some matters to take care of today. You can ask Instructor Kalio about the details regarding our Asgard military system. I"ll come back to find you tomorrow morning. According to my father"s instructions, I"ll give you some information regarding the power domain system. "
After a while, she said to Caelio, "Then, I"ll leave him to you, Instructor Caelio."
"Don"t worry." The old man in the smoke screen said lazily.
Flinging his blue hair, Valkyrie marched out of the instructor"s office. The old man threw the two bear-like burly men onto the ground. In this military camp filled with "experts", the six meter tall Kario was undoubtedly a dwarf, and his muscles didn"t seem to have any relation to the word "developed" at all. It seemed like he was struggling to even carry a person, he really didn"t know how he did it.
Kalio stepped on the chest of one of the big men with his thick military boots and shouted to a man in the office who wore gla.s.ses and was obviously a civilian. "Bam, remember these two b.a.s.t.a.r.ds a lot. F * ck, you dare to ignore my words. When will these energetic guys learn to listen with their ears? "
With that, he stomped his feet. The unconscious man woke up at once, opened his eyes wide, let out a pig"s squeak, and fainted again. When the other instructors dragged the two burly men away, Zero shockingly saw two or three footprints cracked on the floor where they were lying just now.
He clapped his hands together and looked back and forth between himself and the footprints on the ground. He blew out a fist-sized smoke ring and groaned, "Stop looking, the world of power is much wider than you can imagine. You"ll understand when Valkyrie gives it to you. "Now, pack up and come with me. We need to arrange a room for you."
Zero smiled bitterly. He did not have any luggage except for Colt who was on his back.
Seeing that Zero had not moved, he seemed to understand something after seeing how he was dressed in clothes that were not much better than those of refugees. The smoke cleared a little, revealing Carrion"s lean face. He had a white moustache and when the head instructor"s gaze landed on the spear on Zero"s back, a nostalgic look appeared in his eyes, "Colt is a good spear. Back then, I used it to harvest who knows how many lives. Little guy, use it well. But one Colt doesn"t seem to be enough for you. Come with me and you can choose two pistols and some bullets. I can help you pay the bill first, but remember to return it back to me when the time comes. "
He took out a credit card and waved it. "I think I can pay for it myself."
He did not move. The credit card in Zero"s hand suddenly appeared in his hand. The head instructor raised his hand and the credit card suddenly burst into crystal powder. "Do you think that the stuff issued by the Dark Council can be used in Asgard?" Moreover, what we are using is not money but merit points. Kid, do you even need to pay any merit points? "
Looking at the nearly ten thousand currency records of the credit card exploded into ashes, Zero"s face filled with bitterness. He had forgotten that the credit card had been issued in the name of the Dark Council.
Besides, it was not hard to tell from Cario"s words that Asgard was not using money.
Under Callio"s lead, Zero followed him across the training ground of the new barracks. Zero could feel countless gazes falling on him. Some were only sizing him up in curiosity, while some were kind. However, some of the gazes made Zero feel like he was being pierced by needles. It was clear that the gaze that held goodwill belonged to Su He and Feng. As for those gazes that made him feel a p.r.i.c.kling sensation, there was no doubt that they were hostile towards him for some reason.
In turbulent times, compet.i.tion was everywhere. In the wilderness, there would be no exception to this rule in the Hall of Heroic Spirits. Zero was personally brought here by Valkyrie. The hundreds of people in the military camp had personally witnessed it. Naturally, they could not help but have their suspicions regarding the ident.i.ty of Zero. Among them, it was normal to regard him as a compet.i.tor and develop enmity towards him.
Zero didn"t pay any attention to what Angele just said. Soon, he arrived at the military supply section of the barracks with Zero in tow.
He touched the female registrar"s b.u.t.t and laughed at her scolding, "Bring me two Browning automatic pistols, I want Model M1953. And a hundred of those Barabbem-style special bombs, and I"ll have them on my head. "
With that, the Chief Military Instructor took his ident.i.ty card and threw it to the registrar. After the registrar scanned the photo of the instructor with his ID tag, a set of data appeared. Looking at the three numbers" 128 ", Zero thought to himself that those were probably merit points.
As the registrar collected the guns and ammunition from the warehouse, he said to Zero, "Listen, little one. We don"t use credit cards or anything like that. The people in Asgard can be divided into two parts, one of which is business and city management. They have another name, the Free People. As for us, when we serve in the armies, we are naturally soldiers. Whether it"s a free man or a soldier, whether you"re in business, running a business, fighting a war, completing a military mission. The rewards we get are not what the guys at the coastline call a common currency, but a set of data. "
"Those who are free get contribution points, while us soldiers get corresponding contribution points. But because of the danger and importance of our work, a single merit point is equal to three contribution points. In other words, the same kind of resource, freemen need to spend three times as much data to be able to exchange it. That"s right, exchange. Other than some of the most important and fundamental resources, everything else in Asgard can be exchanged with data. " "The houses, the cars, the firearms, the ammunition, and even the ability formula are all exchanged with data. This is Asgard"s special trading system! "
After he finished speaking, the receiving window behind him silently opened, and a conveyor belt brought the items designated by the chief instructor to the window. So Zero saw the two black pistols, their black steel bodies flowing with a metallic l.u.s.ter that gave off a sense of power under the light. Beside the gun, there was also the Barabbem-made bullets with 90% accuracy.
The chief instructor took these things out of the window and pushed them in front of Zero: "Bring them. Browning series M1953 automatic pistol, the initial speed 335 meters per second, effective range 50 meters, can be said to be close combat good. If it wasn"t for that old man Ben introducing you, I wouldn"t be willing to let a lynx use them. But I"ve heard that you"ve played with the good stuff called the M500 revolver before, so I think you should be able to use it well. "
Zero did not deny that putting the two automatic pistols into the empty holster was in fact not as good as putting the Browning pistol into the empty holster, whether it was the feel of the hand or the power of the weapon. But no matter what, it was better than being empty-handed.
