Chapter 16 You are the only one called a mercenary?

"Feeling good? Congratulations."

"We'll talk about it in the evening, when the results will be out."

"Ah, yes, David, you don't know, right? The college entrance examination results in this world come out very quickly! They don't even give people any buffer time at all!"

Buffer time - refers to a period of time after taking the exam to relax and relax before the parents know the results. It is true that they are caught up with the receipt of the outstanding debt.

In Bize's original world, there is a buffer time for the college entrance examination. The happiest time is the few days after the exam before you know the results, especially when you tell your parents that you feel very stable, and you may not be able to make your parents happy.

Relax your tone and make requests that you didn't dare to ask in the past.

——But in this world, such happiness no longer exists!

It's just because the test results are processed too quickly - that's the computing resources allocated by the Heart of Terra nodes, and then processed by all parties' intelligent AI at full power.

Then, the huge amount of information was integrated by the Heart of Terra, and what was produced was a huge list.

That is the interstellar ranking of all the college entrance examination halls on the entire earth at the same time, including the examination results of the colonial cities on the planets of the Holy Terra Federation.

In such a list, Omer could be thrown out thousands of miles away, not to mention Bize who wrote carelessly and even handed in a blank paper.

They are all inundated with names, so they can only search by typing in their exam number.

"You can expect network fluctuations when the results are first released, and then ask your family to wait for a while. That is also a buffer time."

Homais took his fork and drew meaningless lines on the clean plate.

"What's the buffer time there? It's not even enough time to have a dream!" Bi Ze said angrily, with an air of "How can a person like you understand the mood of us scumbags?" "It's not even called fantasy time."

!”

"It doesn't matter what you call it. Do you think there is a college entrance examination in David's world?" Omer said, looking up at David who was just busy working.

It seems that he likes the food in the new environment.

However, when he heard that the topic was directly handed to him, David also raised his head, blinked his dull eyes, and swallowed the food in his mouth: "There are such important exams, but this kind of comprehensive

There is no unified time nature of the planet."

"It's not like the entire planet is unified. There are several special zones whose times are staggered." Omer corrected habitually.

In the past few days, he had corrected many of David's common sense understanding differences while chatting with him. However, the time was still short, and his understanding of the world should not be as good as that of Bize, who switched back and forth between alien and earthly states.

But Omer can conclude that his IQ is higher than that of Bize, and it will not take long to integrate into this world, and he can have many capable jobs, so that he will not receive social subsistence allowance like Bize -

——That’s what he said, but he is already in the mercenary team, so the above considerations can be said to be very unnecessary.

As for the dangers that come with being a mercenary, Omer glanced at David's prosthetic arm, which had a slightly different pattern from yesterday, and the light green indicator light that was clearly installed on the back of his neck, and felt that there were a lot of considerations.

The rest.

The other party seems to have long been accustomed to being in danger. Although the advice given by true friends will be powerful enough, how to use this right is also an issue that true friends must be particularly cautious about.

Naturally, he chose to remain silent.

After all, his adoptive father was also engaged in a dangerous profession.

And then think about himself, his target: the executive department of the Two Worlds Security Bureau, the armed department that has the most frequent contact with travelers, and is also included in the list of the most dangerous departments among all the professions covered by civil servants.

The result is that everyone is the same, there is no difference.

The only one who is safe is Bi Ze, who can't even describe his ideals. It's not that he actively chose stability, but that he hasn't really understood the world in a state of ruin. Ask him about his ideals, and he can't even describe his dreams. .

[Unspeakable] and [Nothing] are two concepts, the former is unknown and the latter is nothingness.

The unknown is far more interesting than nothingness, and Omoman looks forward to the answers he will submit in the future.

As for now, let’s turn our attention to David.

"There are also special zones developed on the surface of the earth." Omer paused as he spoke, remembering the orphanage where he had stayed.

"Most of those special zones are gathering places of special races that are not suitable for directly mixing with surface residents. Because the special zone itself is like a different world, there are barriers to connecting with information here, so the assessment time and information exchange are deliberately staggered. "

"You shouldn't be able to touch it normally, right?" David listened quite seriously, and he only had time to scoop out a spoonful of rice.

"Mercenary is not an ordinary profession, don't you think so?"

"Uh, indeed." David was a little embarrassed to be mentioned, because in his contact with the world in the past few days, he had also noticed that the style of his group in Night City did not apply here, and even too many people's daily life The concept of 'mercenary' is not involved in life.

It was precisely for this reason that he did not call Mann again this time. However, other people in the team, such as Rebecca, wanted to come, but he rejected them in embarrassment.

They are just ordinary mercenaries. The freedom Rebecca inherited from her brother is considered an art that is too early for the citizens of Jiemen District.

And because both brothers were still single, he didn't even dare to invite Lucy.

Getting along with everyone in the team feels like returning to Night City, but getting along with these two people seems to understand the world better.

In just a few days, his whole person has changed several times, and everyone in the team hopes that he will continue to maintain his current state.

David didn't know if this was everyone expressing their dissatisfaction with who he was, but he did feel good. In the past, he always aimed at other people's goals. This time, no one gave him a goal. He might have to Find a goal for yourself.

But he really didn't expect that Omer would take the initiative to bring up the topic of mercenaries.

He even looked at himself and asked: "What is your understanding of mercenaries?"

"When accepting entrustments, force is often used, even to kill people." David glanced at Bize and said the most outrageous words.

Bi Ze did have some reaction to these words, but it was not the reaction of rejection, disgust, or fear that he expected, but a very subtle reaction that hesitated to speak.

At the end of such a complicated expression change, Bize chose to pick up the water glass beside him and remain silent.

"He may be thinking, 'I didn't expect that I'm not the only bad student.'" Omo said quietly.

"Cough cough cough cough."

Judging from the choked reaction, David sadly realized that Omer was right.

"David, here is a hot knowledge that I need to let you know, that is, although the mercenary profession is a profession that is somewhat far away from the citizens, it is not too far away."

Omer said as he activated the terminal in his hand and swiped out a web page.

It was a video website, and he scrolled through the categories and clicked on the live broadcast section, and saw densely packed covers of live broadcasts by video hosts.

"These," Omo said, pointing to the covers, "are also mercenaries."
