Wang Tao had thought that Han Rui would ask to borrow some food to hand over, but he didn’t expect Han Rui to choose work directly. This made Wang Tao look at her with new respect; he liked this kind of independent woman.
An middle-aged woman called a young girl over to receive other people, and she took the two of them to the next room. She then took out a small booklet and handed it to Wang Tao.
“This is our Contribution Points system, take a look…”
Then she turned to Han Rui and said:
“May I ask Miss Han Rui, what did you do for a living before? I need to know your skill set so we can assign the appropriate job.”
“Police officer, detective.”
“Police officer? A detective! Why didn’t you say so earlier!
The middle-aged woman slapped her thigh, her expression filled with excitement as she motioned for Han Rui to sit down.
“Officer Han, our base always has preferential treatment for people with combat abilities like you! You don’t have to work without compensation, you can join our base right away if you’re willing!
“Okay!”
Although Han Rui was somewhat surprised, she wasn’t a stickler, and she agreed immediately.
“All right, wait a moment, please!”
The middle-aged woman brought over a form for Han Rui to fill out.
It was just basic information, quickly completed. The middle-aged woman then called over a young girl and instructed her.
“You take Officer Han to find Officer Feng…”
Upon hearing this, a trace of happiness appeared on Han Rui’s face. Officer
Feng was a friend of her old boss.
“Officer Han, you follow her. All the survivors with a police occupation are
managed by Officer Feng…”
“Okay, thank you.”
After thanking her, Han Rui nodded to Wang Tao and then left with the young girl.
It was only then that the middle-aged woman turned back to Wang Tao and
asked:
“Mr. Wang, what do you plan to hand over?”
“Electronics, I guess,”
Wang Tao considered.
The items listed in this small booklet were diverse, including food, medicine, tools, vehicles, electronic products, and more, all of which could be handed over in exchange for Contribution Points.
He had killed zombies and looted in the residential complex, obtaining a lot of mobile phones, computers, and other electronic products. These items were useless to him, but he had kept them on the off chance that they might become useful later. Now, they could indeed be put to use.
Some electronics were in his vehicle, part brought when he left, and others acquired along the way from searching corpses.
Although he did not know why the base needed these electronics, since they wanted them and he did not, it was a good opportunity to earn Contribution
Points.
“Okay, when do you want to…”
“They’re in the vehicle outside, come with me to get them,”
“You came here driving? Great!”
Wang Tao led the middle-aged woman to his vehicle.
The woman was taken aback upon seeing the modified vehicle.
The base hadn’t had any newcomers for two days, and now they were all strong individuals!
There was no need to mention the female police officer; someone with her level of combat experience was exactly the kind of talent the base was currently lacking.
And this Mr. Wang Tao seemed quite extraordinary as well. He was robust and arrived in a vehicle, clearly also possessing impressive combat ability and experience!
Wang Tao took out several mobile phones, tablets, and laptops from the trunk, some of which could still be powered on. He handed them to the middle-aged woman and asked:
“Is this enough?”
“It should be enough! I will calculate your Contribution Points for you, the
excess will be saved up…”
The middle-aged woman hastily said.
Shuize University was located in a relatively secluded area, and the houses nearby had been looted early on. Now, to loot items, one had to go farther away, which significantly increased the danger. Therefore, the Contribution Points received for handing over these items were not low.
The middle-aged woman escorted Wang Tao inside to do some calculations.
“That’S a total of 140 Contribution Points. After deducting too, you have 40 Contribution Points left… Mr. Wang, do you have a mobile phone yourself?”
“Yes.”
Wang Tao took out his phone and unlocked it. The middle-aged woman brought out a data cable and connected Wang Tao’s phone to the computer. In no time at all, an APP appeared on Wang Tao’s phone. The middle-aged woman explained:
“Mr. Wang, you can register an account here, and your Contribution Points are all in it.”
“You have internet here?”
Wang Tao was somewhat curious.
Wang Tao had thought that the Contribution Points would be primitive handwritten records, or replaced by other items. He didn’t expect them to exist on the internet and to even have a dedicated APP. This gave Wang Tao a feeling of high technology in an instant.
“This is a local area network, available only in certain fixed areas within the university. Our base has talented individuals in the field of networking, and that’s why we have such a thing.”
The middle-aged woman explained.
“I see.”
After fiddling with his phone for a bit, Wang Tao quickly completed the registration.
There were only four pieces of information on the APP: Name, Occupation, Contribution Points, and Assets.
His Contribution Points were now 40/140, with both Occupation and Assets listed as “None.” It seemed that the Contribution Points were also a total cumulative count.
“Alright, Mr. Wang is now a formal member of our base! Welcome! Here is a gift for you as a token of our meeting,” the middle-aged woman said, clapping her hands, and then handed Wang Tao a green Ration Ticket.
Wang Tao didn’t hesitate to accept it, as it could be exchanged for a meal.
The middle-aged woman then called over a round-faced girl.
“If Mr. Wang has any other questions, he can ask Dong Li. My suggestion is that you first apply for a position, and after securing employment, you can apply for accommodation…”
“Alright.”
Wang Tao nodded and then left with the girl.
“Hello Mr. Wang Tao, my name is Dong Li. You can ask me anything you want to know!”
The round-faced girl hastily said.
“First, take me to apply for a job.”
“Of course!”
The job application site was right across from the administrative building, manned by a police officer in uniform.
Looking at the list of job vacancies he provided, Wang Tao chose the one at the very top, Hunter.
Seeing Wang Tao choose Hunter didn’t surprise the police officer. After all, given Wang Tao’s physique here, he didn’t look like an ordinary person. Wang Tao then underwent a simple physical test, which he easily passed without any issues.
“Welcome, Mr. Wang Tao, to become a Hunter for the base…” The police officer smiled and told Wang Tao about the Hunter’s scope of work. It was similar to what Wang Tao had previously heard from the soldiers.
It was an encouragement to go outside and find various resources, then hand them over to the base to earn Contribution Points.
Of course, this was not mandatory. It was entirely voluntary.
The officer also mentioned that Hunters had a lot of freedom, and Wang Tao could arrange his time reasonably.
Having become a Hunter, Wang Tao then let Dong Li take him to his accommodation.
“Wow! You actually have a car, and you drove here!”
After getting into the car with Wang Tao, Dong Li was somewhat amazed.
Wang Tao smiled.
“Lead the way.”
“Okay, turn left here…”
A few minutes later, Wang Tao arrived at his accommodation. It was a teachers’ apartment building.
“You can pick any of these unoccupied rooms,” said Dong Li.
Wang Tao didn’t rush in and instead asked suddenly: “No hurry, can you tell me how our base was established?
