Zhang Chen and the women arrived in the new world.
This world was strikingly similar to Earth during the era of peace.
However, Zhang Chen knew that the similarities were only superficial. In reality, this world was somewhat more dangerous than their original Earth.
But compared to the apocalypse, this place was already a happy and peaceful paradise.
The main reason Zhang Chen chose to "retire" here was to wait for a mysterious meteor to fall three years later.
Currently, Zhang Chen's body contained the Creation and Destruction Meteorites, as well as part of the Time Meteorite. Chen Xiao's body contained the Time Meteorite.
However, during his spiritual phase, he had seen a terrifying future through the Time Meteorite.
He also learned that there were more than just these two meteorites.
The third meteorite would fall into this world in three years.
But both the Time Meteorite and the Creation and Destruction Meteorites were incompatible with the energy of this newly appeared meteorite.
Therefore, even with his foresight, he could only see up to the moment the meteorite fell.
Beyond that, Zhang Chen couldn't see anything else.
But it didn't matter. Being able to live peacefully here for three years was already a very happy thing.
Zhang Chen, with the women, arrived at an unguarded open space on the outskirts of the city and directly took out the manor from his ring.
Six women, one man, and a child. Living here was more than enough.
Combined with the tons of supplies in Zhang Chen's ring, food and drink were definitely not a problem.
The only issue was that in a peaceful world, he couldn't "shoplift" anymore.
Before, Zhang Chen could get whatever he wanted by simply going to a store.
Now, if he didn't want to attract too much attention, he had to buy things.
"Now we have a few issues that need to be addressed..."
Guan Xin walked up to Zhang Chen with a smile and said.
"The first thing is accommodation. The manor can be stored in the ring, which is great. We can live wherever we want..."
"But I believe this world and this country should also have institutions like a land management bureau or a city construction bureau."
"If we don't want to move constantly, we need something like a land deed."
"The second matter is our legal identities. Without identities, traveling might be inconvenient."
"The third issue is Zhang Mo's schooling. Going to school is better than us teaching him. Schools have professional teachers and a group of children his own age."
Guan Xin listed three points in one breath.
The women listened and nodded frequently.
Indeed, it was like that.
In the apocalypse, they could do whatever they pleased, but in a peaceful world, there were bound to be some restrictions.
It was precisely because of these restrictions that there was peace; the two were complementary.
"Identity, land deeds, and schooling are relatively easy matters!"
Zhang Chen looked at the Pluto Mushroom on his left hand and said with a smile.
With it, Zhang Chen could easily persuade any institutional staff.
"If we have identities, things will be easier. I can explore this world, see if there are any business opportunities, and start a company to make some money!"
"If only we had some startup capital!"
Qian Xinxin shrugged and said.
In fact, for her, making money was not only her talent but also her hobby.
It was no difficulty for her at all.
"Mm-hmm, you guys do as you please. I just want to live my peaceful life leisurely."
"It's best if no one ever disturbs me."
Zhang Chen said, stretching, and then went back to his room to sleep.
Having just transitioned from a spiritual to a physical state, his body was a bit unaccustomed to the fatigue.
"Startup capital, you say? I can help you with that, Sister Xinxin!"
Shirley volunteered.
"You? Do you have relatives in this world?"
Qian Xinxin asked, half-jokingly.
"No, but when I came out of the city earlier, I received this flyer."
Shirley excitedly handed the flyer to Qian Xinxin.
The women had all seen the person handing out flyers, but they thought it was promotional material and didn't take any. They didn't expect Shirley to grab one.
It was a mercenary recruitment notice.
The general content was that the current country was at war with the neighboring country, and both were small nations.
Normally, they didn't have many standing armies, and now that the war had reached a fever pitch, their troop reserves were insufficient.
Politicians, for the sake of votes, couldn't resort to conscription, so they adopted the form of recruiting mercenaries, wanting to enlist old soldiers and physically fit young people.
The monthly combat allowance was 200,000.
"200,000? From what I've learned, the prices in this world are similar to those in Dragon Country on Earth. 200,000 is quite a lot!"
Zhao Xiyue exclaimed in surprise.
Hearing the figure, Qian Xinxin's lips twitched, but she ultimately didn't say anything further.
In her opinion, Zhao Xiyue was just an undergraduate student with little experience.
Was 200,000 a lot?
It was only enough for her to buy a couple of bags...
"So... you plan to become a mercenary?"
Xu Ruina asked, surprised.
"Yes, sisters, I think I should share some of the burden for Master!"
"But I entered the apocalypse when I was very young, and I didn't get much education. I don't know how to do anything else, only how to kill."
"So I might as well play to my strengths!"
Shirley said earnestly.
"Well... alright. Considering how scarce the energy is in this world, it's probably just ordinary firearms. They probably won't harm you."
"Go quickly and come back quickly, don't worry us!"
Xu Ruina instructed, unable to hide her concern.
"Don't worry, Sister Na. I'll go quickly and finish the fight quickly. Maybe I can get more bonus money. Then I'll give all the money to Master, and Master can treat all of you to a big meal!"
Shirley patted her chest and said.
"Mm, go ahead. When Zhang Chen wakes up, we'll tell him!"
Xu Ruina nodded.
Shirley excitedly bowed to the women and then sprinted towards the recruitment point.
There were very few people in the wilderness, so she didn't need to control her strength. With a whoosh, she sped across the field.
Leaving a deep沟壑 in the ground, the soil on both sides was turned up.
"This world is indeed a bit too weak. I feel like I can alter the geographical environment with just a little bit of my power!"
"For Master's peaceful life, I need to suppress my strength and not be too exaggerated!"
Shirley quietly told herself.
Soon, she arrived at the mercenary recruitment office on the outskirts and filled out the forms.
Then, a dedicated bus took the newly recruited soldiers to the war zone. Only those who survived for a month would receive their pay.
If they died in battle, there would also be a substantial pension for their families.
Of course, for Shirley, it would be extremely difficult to receive a pension.
But surviving for a month was a very easy task.
Shirley got on the bus and sat next to a female soldier in the front row.
There were only three or four female soldiers in the entire carriage; the rest were male soldiers, some of whom were powerfully built and bore scars, clearly not to be trifled with.
The female soldier next to her, for some unknown reason, was pressed tightly against the window, appearing to be trembling.
Only Shirley was in high spirits, looking at the scenery outside the window.
Although the bus was not moving as fast as she could run, it had been a while since she had ridden in a vehicle, and it felt quite novel...
