I'm also desperate.

Chapter 428 The Ceiling of Strength

The recruitment time, frequency, and number of people are all adjusted according to the overall number and strength distribution within the Qing Si.

When there was the greatest shortage of manpower, people were even recruited once a month.

At that time, it even caused discussion in the surrounding villages, and even Lin Ling, far away in Guyue Village, heard about it.

However, the period of frantically looking for people must also be the most dangerous period in Qing Si County. The mortality rate of public officials was frighteningly high, and few people went, even though the benefits had been greatly improved.

At that time, Lin Ling, who had just become the captain and was still rejected by the sect, was tempted again.

Unfortunately, Guyue Village was such a remote place.

By the time the news reached them, the Qing Si County affairs had been settled, so naturally it was none of his business.

And in the off-season when there is no shortage of people, people may not be recruited for several years.

Of course, under normal circumstances, the Qing Si chooses a frequency of once a year to maintain personnel turnover and ensure a constant influx of fresh blood.

It can be said that the Qing Si has been operating until now as a very healthy and self-consistent organization, with relatively reasonable regulations and systems in all aspects, making it easy for people to accept.

"Then you can go to Qing Si and be a Grey Robe now, right?" Fang Yue asked strangely.

"Am I sick? Why would I give up being the chief captain of Guyue Village to go and be the lowest-level Grey Robe?"

Lin Ling said dejectedly, "As for accepting the Qing Si's assignment and being arranged to other villages that lack manpower to be a captain or deputy captain, that's not what I'm thinking right now. I just want to become stronger, either join the Qing Si as a high-ranking official or go to a sect for further study, and the latter path is easier to take."

When a village is destroyed, after reporting it to the Qing Si, its personnel will accept the Qing Si's assignment and be arranged to other villages.

But the Qing Si doesn't care whether you are from the same village or not, they only look at your personal resume and abilities.

If they really fully accept the Qing Si's arrangements, these survivors of Guyue Village will be scattered and separated, and inserted into the surrounding small villages.

For example, if they need a captain at the Houtian third-rate realm, they will arrange for Lin Ling to go there.

Then, if a small village needs a hunter, they will arrange for Jing Yan to go there.

This is inevitable. Either accept the Qing Si's assignment, or find a way to survive on your own and be treated as ordinary outsiders.

In a sense, the Qing Si's assignment is a kind of welfare for the local people in the Black Green Mountain Range.

While Fang Yue and others were talking about this, the long line was finally about to reach them.

By this time, it was almost noon, and some people wiped their sweat and took out dry food to eat on the spot.

The environment in the crowded queue was very hot, and everyone's emotions were faintly agitated.

"Didn't we used to have two or even three lines arranged to enter Qing Si County to check into the city? Why is there only one line today?"

"That's right, that's right, one line is slow to queue, slow to check, slow to wait, it's so annoying!"

"I have heard some news about this. I heard that a Qing Robe from Qing Si County went to pursue the night thief [Duan Longtou] (Severed Dragon Head), and took away a group of people who were originally responsible for guarding the North Gate. In addition, there are many things in the county, so in the past few days, the North Gate entrance has only been open to one line to facilitate the review."

Fang Yue didn't pay much attention to the idle chat of some people in front of him, but when he heard someone mention [Duan Longtou], he was immediately attracted.

Qing Robe? Duan Longtou?

Fang Yue suddenly remembered that when he was fighting Duan Longtou before, that guy seemed to have mentioned a person.

[Qiansi Sword—You Sisi].

Could this You Sisi be the Qing Robe they are talking about?

Grey Robe is the basic-level staff.

Black Robe is a more senior staff member who has made it through, and can lead a group of people to act.

The guards guarding the gate in front were wearing black official uniforms, with some rough and faint Qing Si patterns on their bodies, a bit like lion patterns. On the left chest, near the shoulder, was printed a small circle, with a Qing character printed inside, similar to a logo.

This is basically the official uniform template for all Qing Si.

It is said that the Grey Robe official uniform has lighter and fewer patterns.

White Robe has clearer patterns and more details.

Qing Robe is even more so.

Among the four sets of official uniforms, only the Qing character runs through the whole process without change, and other details have some changes.

This set of clothes has an antique flavor, and just looking at it from a distance feels very textured. When worn on others, it looks quite like the swift and decisive feeling of the imperial guards.

Except for the two Black Robes, everyone else was wearing Grey Robe official uniforms.

And Dou Daren, who had stopped people before, was wearing a White Robe official uniform!

White Robe already has a very high status.

After all, within Qing Si County, above them, there are only the Qing Robe大佬 (bigshots).

Of course, above Qing Robe, there are higher positions, but the upper limit of Qing Si County is Qing Robe. After being promoted, you can be transferred to the Qing Si in the city to find a job.

Fang Yue asked Lin Ling what the Qing Si in the big town was like, but Lin Ling glared and said, "I also want to know!"

His knowledge is not much different from Fang Yue.

Han Daren has been out and seen the scenery outside, but he just shook his head: "The outer city is also a slightly larger Qing Si County, not much different. If you have the opportunity, you can go to the capital of Qing Guo to see, the scenery there is a bit different, worth a visit."

The capital of Qing Guo is Qing City, also called Qing Du.

As a young man from a remote area, Fang Yue naturally only knew the name, but in fact, he knew nothing about it.

When asked Han Daren, Han Daren smiled mysteriously: "Some scenery is only interesting to see for yourself. If I say it, there will be less expectation, and it won't be beautiful."

Seeing this, Fang Yue stopped asking about Qing Du. Just thinking about You Sisi, he asked, "Han Daren, what is the general strength of this Qing Robe?"

"Qing Robe? Theoretically, according to the standards of Qing Si County, at least the strength of Xiantian third-rate realm is required to become a Qing Robe. But in practice, this standard can fluctuate up and down."

"What about the upper limit?"

"Who knows... Maybe Xiantian first-rate or Ren Ji (Human Rank)?"

Han Daren said uncertainly.

After all, Qing Robe is just a position, and the strength depends on the individual.

Hearing this, Fang Yue muttered to himself.

In other words, the upper limit of Qing Si County is only Xiantian first-rate, and the highest is only just reaching Ren Ji?

This ceiling is a bit low. Our Guyue Village has Han Daren alone, who is a half-step Yu Ji (Rain Rank).

Including his desperate feeding of the sheepskin paper with gold and stone, the upper limit directly reaches Yu Ji.

Dimensionality reduction!

Fang Yue smiled and felt a lot more at ease for some reason.

But soon, his smile froze.

Because Han Daren has been crippled, and if he uses the power of the sheepskin paper again, he will be affected by weirdness.

At that time, not to mention the game, even in reality, he will lose his life.

So his upper limit is a pseudo-upper limit, it just looks good.

"Next!"

Just as Fang Yue thought of this, the guard in front shouted at their team.
