He listened to their discussions, a strange look appearing on his face.

Not long after, Su Mo reached the entrance of the administrative building, which was packed with people and filled with noisy shouts.

"Make way!"

"Get out of the way."

.....

Seeing this, Su Mo sighed with emotion, "So many people are grinding for contribution points."

"That's because grinding contribution points can get you enough benefits, so naturally everyone is rushing to do it," the Fake Creator·Devourer said in a low voice.

"That's true. Speaking of which, the city lord of Xinghuan City is really generous with the benefits. To be honest, seeing the use of contribution points, I'm really tempted. I regret not coming here sooner to grind. I guess we're going to be way behind others. There should be quite a few people here who started grinding contribution points from the beginning. That's not right! You should know a lot about Xinghuan City, why didn't you remind me to grind contribution points earlier?"

The more Su Mo thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong. The Fake Creator·Devourer didn't remind him about such a good thing.

You have to know that the contribution points of Xinghuan City are super useful, and in some ways, they are even better than star coins.

Contribution points can be used to exchange for a Xinghuan City hukou (household registration). With a hukou, you can stay in Xinghuan City for a long time without having to pay the daily fee.

And with a hukou, you can buy real estate in Xinghuan City.

It means that without a hukou, you can't buy real estate even if you have money.

The most important thing is that with a Xinghuan City hukou, even if you are independent of the original country's system, their laws have no binding effect on you.

At the same time, even if the original country goes bankrupt, it has nothing to do with you and will not be affected.

Also, if the contribution points reach a certain level, you can also exchange them for the honorary title of Xinghuan City nobility and enjoy a series of conveniences.

It is worth noting that this title has no real power. But when you get a noble enough title, you can enter the inner areas of Xinghuan City.

In a sense, you are considered upper-class celebrities.

In addition, contribution points can also be used to exchange for various special permissions, such as the qualification to purchase high-level weapons, the license to hold high-level weapons, and even the ability to use contribution points to ask the Xinghuan City army to help with things.

In short, contribution points can do many special things.

After hearing this, the Fake Creator·Devourer replied coldly, "Remind you to grind contribution points? Isn't that reminding you to be a lackey for Xinghuan City? To put it bluntly, the so-called benefits are just the bones that Xinghuan City gives to dogs."

"Cough cough, don't say it so harshly, aren't we here to grind contribution points now? Don't tell me you're even scolding yourself."

Su Mo was speechless.

"Humph."

The Fake Creator·Devourer seemed to think it was inappropriate, so he didn't complain specifically.

Su Mo glanced around the hall. There was a row of office windows in the innermost area of the hall.

At the same time, there are holographic public projection screens on both sides of the hall.

You can clearly see the most recently released tasks.

Su Mo stood there and looked at the scrolling tasks for a while.

The number of tasks released by Xinghuan City is very large and very diverse. Some require killing monsters, some require collecting materials, some even require going to a certain star field to deploy equipment, and some require conducting climate or other investigations on a certain planet.

All tasks are divided into nine levels.

sss, ss, s, A, B, C, d, e, f.

Among them, Su Mo saw a very familiar s-level task, developing Ceres.

This is a public task, which means that there is no limit to the number of people who can accept the task, of course, there are conditions for accepting the task.

If he remembers correctly, all countries have accepted this task.

In addition, it is worth mentioning that the main body of grinding contribution points can be an individual or a country.

Su Mo looked at the rows of tasks showing that they had been received, and his hands were a little itchy, so he walked towards the office window.

As a result, halfway there, a row of tall figures blocked his way.

A group of tall men, each three meters tall, wearing heavy mechanical armor, with extremely strong muscles and savage faces, stood in a row blocking the way, looking at everyone present with contemptuous eyes.

Su Mo looked at the freelancers around him and found that many people had anger on their faces, but they didn't dare to say anything.

Most people seemed to be used to it.

"Sigh!"

Su Mo sighed slightly. Even if he was stupid, he could see that these guys were deliberately blocking the way.

They really are as domineering as ever.

At this time, an Imperial Army officer walked over from not far away, and the wall of people immediately opened a small gap to let their people in to accept the task.

The key is that there's nothing you can do about it. They're just standing here. You can't bump into them or touch them.

Otherwise, it would be regarded as creating trouble and causing trouble in Xinghuan City, and the price would be very high.

However, there was no way Su Mo was really going to back down. He was just about to move forward when someone stopped him.

"Brother, do you want to go over there?"

At this moment, a voice sounded behind Su Mo.

Su Mo turned his head to look.

An uncle wearing a generation ii mechanical armor asked.

"Yes."

Su Mo quickly responded.

"I can tell you're new here. Don't go forward. It'll be troublesome if those barbarians take a fancy to you. When you leave Xinghuan City, they'll definitely focus on dealing with you."

"But we can't just stand here."

"Don't worry, they'll be gone after they've taken the good tasks. Normally, it won't be more than two o'clock in the afternoon."

The uncle said to Su Mo.

Su Mo's face twitched. He squeezed out a smile and chatted with the uncle, "Doesn't that mean we're eating what others have left over? Doesn't anyone care about this?"

"The Alliance countries don't care, so who can? In the early days, there were a few stronger groups that couldn't stand it and clashed with them. As a result, when those groups went out to do tasks, the Imperial Army specifically targeted them and wiped them all out. They even threw the video on the forum. The cruelty of the methods was enough to scare people to death."

The uncle explained helplessly.

"Awesome, what's your name, uncle?"

Su Mo's face twitched. These guys were really playing it smoothly, using the rules of Xinghuan City to set up a human wall on one hand. On the other hand, they used iron-blooded methods to establish prestige, and indirectly put the good tasks into their own pockets, eating as much as they could. No wonder the Imperial Army was getting fatter and fatter.

The Alliance countries really weren't doing as well as the Imperial Army in this regard.

No matter what, freelancers are actually one of the components of each country's power.

"My name is Lei Xi, and I'm a free mercenary."

Lei Xi introduced himself with a smile.

"Thank you! Thank you for the reminder, Uncle Lei Xi."

Su Mo replied gratefully.

"You're welcome. When I first came here to grind contribution points, I was also a newbie. A kind person reminded me, otherwise I would have run into it head-on."

Lei Xi responded very readily.

"By the way, Uncle Lei Xi, if official personnel from the Alliance countries want to accept tasks, will these people not let them?"

Su Mo suddenly asked curiously.
