"Thank you."
Fang Heng stepped off the vehicle and looked up at the massive, half-spherical building in front of him.
Interesting.
From the outside, the Star Map Control Center resembled a hemisphere, its exterior covered in hexagonal honeycomb-like scales. Each piece of nano glass refracted into a gradient of iridescent colors depending on the angle of the light.
It bore a striking resemblance to the architecture of the spawns.
It seed that this control building was also crafted by the spawns.
"The main control building's Phase 3 is still under construction. Sir Bakal is waiting for us in the lobby on the first floor of the outer region. Please follow ."
After registering their information at the security checkpoint, the group entered the complex, passing through an outdoor garden before finally reaching the main control building's lobby.
Bakal was sitting on a sofa near the entrance, waiting.
"Report, Sir! The people have been safely brought in."
"Mm. You can wait outside."
Bakal stood up from the sofa, glanced at Fang Heng and the others, and said, "You've all worked hard coming all this way. It's all thanks to you for your help. The young lady has already been sent to the hospital right away, and her condition has stabilized. No need to say more, please follow ."
Bakal led them toward an elevator inside the lobby while explaining the current situation.
"As you all know, the black fog events have been happening frequently in the world due to the ga's invasion. To counter this, the Western District Federation has established the Star Map Project."
"To make this work, we need a large number of capable players to join us. We don't expect absolute loyalty from you to the Federation. Our relationship is more of a partnership, similar to that of rcenaries."
"In exchange, the Federation is offering rewards, such as high-tier in-ga items, real-world money, and even ways to unlock high-tier 'locks' through a special ritual."
As he ntioned unlocking the 'locks,' Bakal gave a slight smile.
"I'm now taking you into Area A of the Star Map Control Base. This area was specifically built for rcenaries recruited by the Western Region. Your activities will be confined to Area A."
"I can assure you that as long as you accumulate enough contribution points, the rewards you can exchange will be the sa as those available to the soldiers trained by our Western District Federation. Of course, if you share the sa ideals as us, you're welco to join the Western District Federation."
Bakal handed out the identity cards to everyone one by one, "These are the identity cards issued according to the information on your profiles. The identity cards contain your identification details as well as point balances."
"By the way, I forgot to ntion—most of the missions we release are in-ga missions, and they require a team to complete. The team should have at least 3 mbers and at most 7."
"The areas you can access include, but are not limited to, the training ground in Area A, the lounge, the information query center, the points exchange, the library, the spa, the wellness area, and other domains. All these areas are open to you for free. However, if you want to leave here, you need to submit a request in advance. Generally, the request will be approved on the sa day..."
Fang Heng quickly glanced at the identity card he had just received from Bakal.
"I'm here to unlock the 'lock.' How many points are needed for that?"
"To unlock the highest-level S-tier exchange rights, you first need to accumulate 50 million contribution points. Afterward, you will need a total of 80 million contribution points to fully exchange. Once that's done, we will have soone to guide you through the process of breaking through," Bakal explained.
Fang Heng's brows furrowed slightly.
"That's the general situation."
Bakal introduced, "Additionally, the supervisor here is Vina Duo. This person is not easy to get along with, but you probably won't see him much. Anyway, I owe you all a favor, so if you run into any trouble, feel free to co to ."
As he spoke, the elevator doors opened.
The elevator doors were directly facing the hall of Area A.
In the center of the empty hall stood a tall, straight-backed officer from the Western District Federation. The officer appeared relatively young, with short, dark red hair and a sharp, cold gaze.
Bakal nodded to the officer in greeting, then lowered his voice to quietly introduce him to Fang Heng and the others, "That's Watson, the deputy supervisor of Area A. Currently, the Star Map Control Center is entirely managed by the military departnt. I don't have much say here, so I'll leave you with him."
"Thank you, Officer."
Zaka thanked Bakal and followed Fang Heng and the others out of the elevator, heading toward Watson, who stood in the center of the hall.
"rcenaries, welco to the Western District Federation. The facilities, rules, and purpose of this place should have already been explained to you by Officer Bakal. Also, your rooms have been arranged."
Watson's gaze swept over Fang Heng and the others, his expression cold. Inwardly, he was sowhat displeased.
Soone recomnded by the senator's security team?
Humph!
The entire Star Map Control Center was directly managed by the military departnt. The senator's reach was getting a bit too long.
"However, I believe you won't be needing that. You're not here for a vacation. Right now, there's an urgent mission that requires you rcenaries to handle it imdiately." Watson said, turning and walking ahead. "Follow ."
"You're a bit late. The new teams that joined the ga finished their team formations two days ago. Right now, only the four of you can form a team. Once the first-tier mission is completed, I'll arrange for you to be grouped with others for the next stage."
He led them through the hall into the ga hall, Area D.
The hall was lined with ga cabins.
Unlike the outside world, each ga cabin was connected to a thick black cable.
Almost every ga cabin had a military departnt assistant standing next to it, and about a third of the cabins were in operation.
"Let briefly explain the mission commission to you," Watson said. "As you can see, the ga cabins in front of you have been specially modified by the Western District Federation. Once you enter the ga, you will receive an invitation to be teleported into a special ga world."
"Once you enter, you will automatically receive a mission commission. Completing the mission will grant you corresponding mission contribution points. These contribution points will be synced to your identity card, and you can use them to exchange for equivalent items here," Watson explained.
He glanced over at Fang Heng and the others, "It's worth noting that the mission commissions you will be undertaking are not easy. Be careful and proceed quickly."
"Uh..."
Zaka looked at his companions, his expression full of disbelief.
Was it starting already?
Good grief.
Was the Western District Federation really this competitive?
They just got here, didn't even get a chance to rest, and now they had to jump straight into the ga to work?
"Heh, that's true. Since we're rcenaries, we should act like one," Zaka said with a self-deprecating smile, heading towards the ga cabin.
Su Guantong passed by an active ga cabin, curiously glancing inside, and asked, "Who are these people?"
"Yes, they're rcenaries just like you, invited here. They entered the ga earlier than you and are already taking on commission missions," Watson explained, raising his hand to signal the staff to open the ga cabin.
Fang Heng observed the ga cabin for a mont, then, following the staff mber's instructions, lay down inside the cabin.
The hatch closed.
Fang Heng's vision gradually descended into chaos.
