Drawing Cards With My Lifespan: Starting By Gamifying Reality

Chapter 16: The Garrison Building
Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

There was a five-story red building near Tianmu City’s city hall.

Two security guards were standing guard at the guardhouse in front of the building. They were tall and strong, looking very intimidating.

Outsiders would only feel that the security guards were very imposing, like the ancient door-gods. Only Su Mo could tell at a glance that they were both Transcendents, and both level 3 berserkers.

This was really an eye-opener.

It could only be said that the garrison building was indeed worthy of its reputation. To think even its guards were Transcendents. It was truly rich to the extreme.

After scanning his ID at the guard post, Su Mo was allowed to enter the base of the Transcendents.

To be precise, the garrison building should be the base camp of the official Transcendents since they were the branches of the Dawn Bureau that were set up in various cities across the country.

The person in charge of each branch was called the guardian, and they had to be at least at stage five.

According to the forum, the strength of Tianmu City’s guardian was at the peak of level 6. He was a powerful Transcendent who could step into level 7 at any time.

This immediately made Su Mo feel a great sense of security.

To be honest, this guardian was the boss of his superior.

Unfortunately, he had not met the other party yet.

He wondered if he would have the chance to see him today.

Su Mo quickly walked through the short tree-lined path and entered the hall of the building.

As far as the eye could see, the hall was bustling.

There were about thirty to forty people in there.

Other than the six young female receptionists sitting behind the long counter who were ordinary people, the rest were all Transcendents without exception.

There were warlocks, rangers, gunners, berserkers, pugilists… In fact, Su Mo even saw an enchanter.

Thinking about the fact that someone had offered three million for an enchanted sword, the enchanter was truly a money-making profession.

However, the enchanter in the hall was only at level 1, and he only had one ability. It seemed that he had just awakened his profession.

The other party probably had the same purpose in coming here today, to register.

In addition to dealing with all kinds of Transcendent events, the garrison building was also in charge of managing the Transcendent Professions Alliance’s branch in the area.

The Transcendent Professions Alliance was made up of the professions’ mutual aid organizations.

These organizations did not only include special professions, but also official professions that had complete paths.

For example, the strongest members of the sword saint mutual aid organization were experts who had surpassed level nine, all top powerhouses of the official organizations. They had been fighting in the origin world all this time.

Joining such an organization would not only allow one to make some friends in the same profession but also sometimes attend lectures of the big shots. One could even complete various tasks issued internally to earn some money.

Su Mo had the Dawn Bureau as his backing, so he might not be interested in the meager benefit, but to the civilian Transcendents, it was extremely tempting.

Basically, the official organizations managed the civilian Transcendents through these Transcendent Professions Alliances.

This ensured the stability of society.

Seeing that the seat before one of the female receptionists was empty, Su Mo hurriedly walked over and sat down. He asked, “May I know if I should register to join the mutual aid organization here?”

Seeing Su Mo’s handsome appearance, the female receptionist could not help but blush. She hurriedly straightened her posture and replied in a sweet voice, “Yes, that’s right. Which organization would you like to join? ”

“I’d like to ask what kind of duties I have to bear after joining the organization.”

“The management of the mutual aid organizations is usually very loose,” The female receptionist explained patiently, “Most of the time, one can join directly after registration. Within the organization, experiences will be shared, you can form teams to do offline missions, and regular exchange meetings will also be held.”

Su Mo’s face was filled with confusion.

So if he joined a mutual aid organization, he would thus have an additional chat group?

However, thinking about it carefully, in the information age, such an operation seemed normal.

Then what was the benefit that Xu Liushuang mentioned?

Could it be that after one joined the group, the group owner would send one a few porn photos? Or would one directly get an invitation code?

Wow! That would be great!

Su Mo thought about it. In any case, he did not plan on developing the staff bearer profession any time soon, so he would first join the sword saint organization.

If the sword saint organization had quite a few porn photos, he could consider joining the monk, no, the staff bearer organization. It would still be in time.

Thinking about this, Su Mo took out his ID and said to the receptionist, “Please help me to register. I want to join the sword saint mutual aid organization.”

“What? You’re a sword saint?” The young lady’s face was filled with shock, and she couldn’t help raising her voice.

In an instant, the entire hall fell silent.

The soft discussions from before suddenly disappeared.

Many of the Transcendents looked over with strange gazes.

Even if Su Mo did not turn around, he could feel the piercing gazes behind him.

“F*ck! So what if I’m a sword saint? Could it be that the sword saint organization is famous for posting many porn photos?” Su Mo’s heart thumped, and he immediately felt uneasy and guilty.

Soon, as if the start button had been pressed, many Transcendents swarmed up and surrounded Su Mo, trying to recruit him all at once.

“Brother, you just awakened as a sword saint, right? Join our team! The Zhenwu Team is the strongest in Tianmu City!”

“Nonsense! Our Qiancang Team is the strongest! Our captain is almost at the peak of level 4!”

“So what if he’s at the peak of level 4? In the Nanming Team, we have an enchanter. As long as you’re willing to join us, I can guarantee that you an enchanted weapon!”

“Brother, although I’m a civilian Transcendent, my niece is in the Dongfang Team. Everyone on that team is a beauty. Judging from your age, you shouldn’t have a family yet. You definitely can’t miss this opportunity!”

…

Hearing the Dongfang Team’s introduction, Su Mo’s heart instantly thumped, but he thought, “You’re really making things difficult for me… No, I already have Sister Qingwu. I have to be firm on my goal!”

Facing everyone’s recruitment, Su Mo tactfully refused, “Thank you for your enthusiasm, but unfortunately, I’ve already joined the Furong Team. I’m very sorry.”

He had thought that this would be the end of the matter, but it unexpectedly triggered an even stronger reaction from the crowd.

“Do you think the Furong Team is worthy of you joining? Zhang Zhenyu, that scum, is afraid of tribulation and had been stuck at level 3 for four years! You won’t have a bright future if you follow him!”

“Zhou Wenbo, that old man, is still unwilling to leave. He’s already so old, yet he still hasn’t retired. He’s stubbornly holding on to the position and not leaving. Don’t you know how annoying he is? ”

“Chu Qingwu, that tomboy, is just fierce and scary. She’s definitely not as gentle and affectionate as the cute girls of the Dongfang Team!”

“Qian Tao is simply a disgrace to the ranger profession. What can’t he do with his abilities? Yet, he’s just running about all day long looking for unfortunate young girls! If you hang out with him, you’ll be arrested sooner or later!”

“I suggest you transfer to our team. Furong Team is not suitable for a talent like you. Don’t worry about the contract, we will pay the transfer fee for you!!”

…

Hearing everyone’s clamoring, Su Mo simply did not have the strength to retort.

Just how unpopular were Captain Zhang, Sister Qingwu, and the others?

Just as he was about to speak up for his teammates, a crisp voice suddenly came from outside the crowd, “You want to steal our team member? Have you asked me, Xue Qiaoqiao?!”
