Ten minutes later, they arrived at the workplace hall.
"Novices, take out your ID cards."
The guide led the newcomers to a registration window, indicating that they should queue up to register.
The procedure for new recruits to report was not complicated, similar to when they signed up to join the army.
Just review the identity, make a collective oath, and receive the second-class soldier's epaulet. This counts as joining the Tarthis Fortress. The whole process took less than half an hour.

Title: Fitness Enthusiast - All attributes increased by 0.2
Soul Points: 100
Zhou Yuan nodded in satisfaction after scanning his personal panel.
Aside from the change in rank, the title changed from Persistence to Fitness Enthusiast, and the bonus also changed from an increase of 0.2 in three attributes to 0.2 in all attributes.
Don't underestimate this 0.2 in all attributes. Considering his current constitution, he has far exceeded that of ordinary people and reached the stage of enhanced humans.
If he were to train on his own, he wouldn't be able to increase his attributes by 0.1 in a year, because the enhancement brought about by the super-soldier serum had reached its limit.
If there were no more advanced strengthening serums in the future mall, then he could only rely on upgrading his title to strengthen his constitution.
After completing the procedures, the guide led the group to the Western Military Residency. According to him, there were five defense forces in the West Army, each named after a battalion. There were 300 soldiers in each battalion, making a total of 1500 soldiers. Of course, the defense forces were only responsible for the city's defense, and the overall population of the Western Army was not limited to 1500.
"Here we are. There are five rows of residential cabins, from left to right: first team to fifth team. The work hall, dining hall, and shops are on the left, and the arsenal is on the right."
"The rest of the way, you guys have to find out for yourselves. Finally, when you enter the residential cabins, please keep your voice down as the guys in the West Army are not in a good mood lately."
After a brief introduction, the guide left.
"Damn, he left so soon?"
"F*ck, this place is huge. Do we have to find our way by ourselves?"
As soon as the guide left, the 75-person rookie team started to complain, some saying the guide was irresponsible, while others felt underestimated by the fortress.
"Anyone from the third team?"
"We can go together, finish packing and go report together."
Seeing this, Zhou Yuan raised his hand and shouted. On the social circle of Tharsis Fortress, a group had to be established on the first day. No one better than an 18-year-old young man and woman could initiate it.
"If there is anyone from the second team, we can go together."
At the same time, a chain reaction occurred, and people began to look for fellow teammates from the same battalion. To many people, 18 years old was already an adult, but actually, 18-year-old young men and women were not yet mature. They were immature kids who lacked independence, and even felt uneasy when left alone by a guide. Zhou Yuan's proposal helped stabilize their emotions.
"...
"Damn, that's too many people!"
Two minutes later, Zhou Yuan recounted the number of people, his expression surprised.
The 75-person rookie team was divided into four groups heading to the working hall in the residential area. There were five going to the second team, six to the fourth team, eight to the fifth team, and none to the first team. The remaining fifty-six all went to the third team.
The third team had a force of two hundred, and today it was welcoming an addition of fifty-six people all at once. It was easy to imagine how severe the recent casualties of the third team were.
After receiving their daily supplies, everyone began to search for their assigned dormitories. The dormitories here were very similar to those in the new recruit camp, with semi-circular tube-shaped cabins, but much larger than those in the recruit camp.
A few minutes later, Zhou Yuan found his dormitory. The five teams' dormitories were separated, arranged in an orderly manner. The third team's dormitory was in the middle of one row, consisting of three cabins. Although it had only three cabins, the internal space of these cabins was very large with partitions in the middle, and one cabin could accommodate over a hundred people.
Each team was divided into three combat groups, and the dormitories were also divided by groups. The new recruits were fairly evenly distributed among the three groups, with ten new recruits added to each group.
"Be quiet when entering the dormitory, guys. The mood of the soldiers in the West Army is not stable lately," Zhou Yuan suggested, and walked to his bed.
The sleeping area was close to the door, and only after a few steps, Zhou Yuan saw his bed.
"Hey, bro, I'm from the third team!"
As Zhou Yuan was about to turn down his pillow, the black soldier on the bed next to him spat on his bed, teasing him.
"Sweetheart, maybe you don't know, but this bed is where I keep my shoes."
"If you want to sleep here, I suggest you clean my shoes first."
The black guy was a tall and sturdy man who didn't take Zhou Yuan, the "little shorty", seriously, and spoke with a disdainful tone.
"Bro, I suggest you don't look for trouble," Zhou Yuan replied, ignoring the black guy.
"Now, clean up the mess you've made, or I will rescind my respect for veterans."
Zhou Yuan looked at the black man with a blank expression. This guy reminded him of Ron in the early days, but Ron was a simple-minded guy who would not do such terrible things.
