Chapter 379 [Not the Master]

Qiao Yifeng fell silent.

After a few seconds, he seemed to want to drink, but found that he had already drunk his wine, and even the wine glass was thrown away by him. Qiao Yifeng simply reached out and took Chen Xiaolian's wine glass and drank it all.

"Okay, let's talk about it. Qiao Yifeng's tone was a little complicated: "Anyway, it seems that if you don't make this matter clear first, you won't be willing to continue this conversation." ”

"I'll wait to hear. Chen Xiaolian's face was very cold.

Qiao Yifeng smiled, although he was laughing, his eyes were very cold.

"In the beginning, I wanted to kill you. ”

Hearing this, Chen Xiaolian's eyes shrank.

Qiao Yifeng didn't seem to feel much guilt, and his tone was very calm: "This is not strange. You've helped me, yes, but killing you is just one of my options. I'll admit I'm not a good guy - in this game, the pure good guys are dead. ”

"Okay, I'll admit you have a point, go ahead. ”

"It's a mission, I mean the African thing about Zeid, it's a mission. A mission released in City Zero. Qiao Yifeng looked at Chen Xiaolian: "I don't know how much you already know about this matter." I got you involved in this mission, I originally thought that if you entered this mission, whether you killed or didn't kill Zaid, you didn't have much chance of surviving, maybe you would die at the hands of someone else. In that case, my troubles might be solved. As soon as you die, Jojo's problem is gone, it doesn't exist. ”

"You're ruthless. ”

"Yes. Jojo will be sad, but it's better to be sad than to die. Qiao Yifeng said coldly: "I don't want to watch her follow you in the future, die in a certain game copy one day, and then be refreshed into a backup program." ”

Speaking of which. Qiao Yifeng didn't look at Chen Xiaolian's eyes, but continued to talk to himself.

"What I didn't expect was that your luck was really good. Not only did you not die, but you got the mine. Then, when it comes to dealing with things, you have to use a completely different strategy. I hope you'd better die. But now that you own the mine, you'd better not die. Otherwise, we will be unprofitable. ”

"Li, do you mean this mining area?" Chen Xiaolian sneered.

"Yes. Qiao Yifeng looked at Chen Xiaolian at this time: "So, you have to explain, you have to explain, you can do anything." It doesn't matter if I deceived you before, tricked you into this game, or almost killed you. I can apologize to you. Show all sincerity to you. If you want, I can even jump on the table and do a monkey dance for you – as long as you're happy. Because you're worth enough right now. ”

Chen Xiaolian looked at Qiao Yifeng - Qiao Yifeng in front of him showed a completely different temperament and demeanor from when they met before.

The previous Qiao Yifeng seemed to be a big man, a giant, and a serious and majestic existence.

And Qiao Yifeng at this moment...... More pragmatic, more realistic, and even more indifferent. Not only is he indifferent to others, but he is also indifferent to himself. The taste of unscrupulous!

Chen Xiaolian picked out the corner of his eye: "This mining area." It was originally your team?"

Qiao Yifeng raised his eyebrows: "How did you guess?"

Chen Xiaolian smiled.

He spread his hands: "That's what I guessed." ”

Qiao Yifeng nodded and did not deny it: "Okay, you guessed right." ”

"Your team is one of the resident teams in Zero City?"

"Of course, that's right. Qiao Yifeng nodded again.

Chen Xiaolian whistled.

For a long time, I underestimated the team that this old man belonged to.

He thought it was before. Qiao Yifeng's team should be an ordinary large team, maybe some strength, but I never expected that they would be strong enough to be at the level of "Zero City Resident Team".

"Zero City now has a total of seven resident teams. Qiao Yifeng thought for a moment. But he smiled bitterly: "But in fact, nominally, there are a total of thirty-three teams. ”

"I don't understand. Chen Xiaolian frowned.

"Because the world is changing. Qiao Yifeng's tone became deeper: "The team will be strong, weak, and even perish." The years of the establishment of Zero City are very long, and in these long years, there have been many teams that are strong enough to be resident in Zero City, and then they are stationed, they have been fully developed, and they have flourished, and then they ......"

"Seeing him raise the Zhu Tower, seeing him feasting guests, seeing his building collapse. Chen Xiaolian sighed: "Kong Shangren's "Peach Blossom Fan". ”

"I almost forgot that you're still a writer. Qiao Yifeng smiled.

"Go on. ”

"There are times when you are strong and there are times when you are down. Qiao Yifeng shook his head: "Many teams are like this, although Zero City is a refuge, but in this refuge, the competition is actually very fierce.

Zero City is such a place.

In the history of Zero City, a total of thirty-three teams have joined Zero City and obtained the qualification of resident, but in the years, some teams have survived, some teams have flourished for a while, but gradually declined, and some teams have collapsed......

And now, there are still seven teams that still occupy the qualifications in Zero City, and the others have been annihilated. ”

"Annihilation means complete annihilation, the regiment is destroyed?"

"No, you don't understand the mechanics of City Zero. Qiao Yifeng shook his head and said something that surprised Chen Xiaolian, "The mechanism of Zero City is very special. ”

"I'll wait to hear it. ”

......

"Wow, welcome home. ”

Standing in the central square of Zero City, looking at the empty streets around her, Nicole said this to herself.

This was not the regular time for City Zero to open, and the streets of the city looked empty and not many people were there.

The lively love beach in the distance doesn't seem to have much atmosphere.

But although it's not a regular opening time, it's not like there's no outsiders in Zero City.

In this world, there are always awakened people or teams with special powers, who will receive special preferential treatment from some forces in Zero City, and can obtain some special permissions to enter Zero City-Shadow had previously given Chen Xiaolian similar permissions as a condition.

There are still stalls at the private flea market, but there are not as many people as the regular opening hours.

Strangers can still be seen on the streets.

Nicole walks down the street. And didn't get much attention.

City Zero always needs some outsiders.

Some of these outsiders have special cooperation with the major resident teams, some can bring intelligence from the outside world, some can bring some rare resources and materials from the outside world, some can serve as peripheral members, and some can provide some material channels for Zero City. And so on and so forth.

Nicole's face has undergone a special treatment, and no one will recognize her as a former "floating angel" at this moment.

Randomly walked into a hotel open to the public, and Nicole casually used a pseudonym to register.

On the projection screen in the lobby of the inn, I saw the latest news of a Zero City.

"Oh, is another referendum starting? another team is going to fall......"

......

"The fall of the resident team is a major event in Zero City. The most valuable asset of every resident team is not its strength, personnel, allocation, etc. But...... Zero's share of resource allocation!"

"I don't understand. Chen Xiaolian's expression was puzzled.

"It's normal that you don't understand, in fact, it's complicated. Qiao Yifeng's tone was a little helpless, and he was also a little self-deprecating: "Because Zero City was very weird at the beginning. Let me put it this way...... Zero City, there is no one definite owner!"

"Wait, City Zero...... What does this mean?"

"I mean, there's no 'one' definite owner in City Zero. Qiao Yifeng's tone was complicated.

......

City Zero is a small world.

And nothing else. From this point alone, there is one similarity between Zero City and C11 mines.

Take, for example, the C11 mining area. There will be a master in the mine.

One occupier, one owner.

The owner has the highest and full rights to the mine, and has the right to open any mine, produce, refine, and even temporarily close the mine if necessary.

All permissions. In the hands of the "master".

But Zero City ...... This is not the case.

......

"I didn't know what happened in the early days, the only thing I knew was that City Zero was not owned or controlled by a single person or a team.

The legend I know is that the original founder of City Zero. It's a group of people, maybe a few, maybe dozens of them...... I don't know that much. ”

Listening to Qiao Yifeng's words, Chen Xiaolian naturally had a few people in his heart.

White up!

Mr. Umbrella!

Judging from the news that Chen Xiaolian has gotten so far, these people are the founders of Zero City!

Obviously, Qiao Yifeng didn't seem to know these things.

Qiao Yifeng's narrative continues.

"City Zero doesn't have an owner, that is, it doesn't have an owner. So, City Zero has a strange mechanic. To put it simply, the operation of Zero City is negotiated and decided by representatives of several large teams, and the authority to control Zero City is jointly controlled. ”

"Like an elders' council or a supreme council?" Chen Xiaolian asked.

"Pretty much. Qiao Yifeng smiled bitterly: "But the problem is, as far as I know, this Council of Elders actually doesn't have the highest authority of Zero City, that is to say, they can't fully use the functions of Zero City." ”

Looking at the doubts in Chen Xiaolian's eyes, Qiao Yifeng said slowly: "It's like a building, the real owner of this building is not there, and no one can find it."

But there are a lot of tenants in the building who are renting houses.

Some of the residents were very powerful, so a group of residents came together to manage the building.

They can do a lot of things, such as repairing some damaged parts of the building, appliances. For example, some empty rooms can be renovated and utilized, such as paying utility bills, so that the building can run normally. For example, if someone wants to enter a building, they can open the door and let someone else in.

It seems that these people are the owners of the building, and the building is functioning normally under the management of these people.

But in reality, these people are not really masters.

So, in the building, there are some locked rooms that they can't open and can't get into—maybe there's something more important in those rooms.

So, there are some important rights to the building, they can't decide.

For example, if a tenant doesn't pay rent, they don't have the right to evict someone else - some resident teams that have already existed in name only, but still have the right to be based in Zero City.

For example, if you want to change the structure of the building, you can't do it.

I don't know if you can understand this analogy. ”

Chen Xiaolian thought for a while and nodded: "I can probably understand." ”

"There are a lot of permissions and functions in Zero City, but in fact, until today, there are many functions and permissions that we can't use.

For example, City Zero regularly releases quests to create something like the C11 mine in the world.

However, those teams in City Zero can only passively accept the tasks released, but cannot control the tasks.

I mean, something like C11 mine, when, how much, and where did you get it...... None of this is beyond the control of the Presbyterian Church.

Rather, Zero City's system is automatically released. We, just passively, accepted: a C11 mine appeared, in Kambia, opened at a certain time...... We are only passively informed and accepted.

But we can't take the initiative to control it, and we can't make any changes to the task release.

For example, this mine is not in Kambia, but in New York, USA...... We can't do any of that.

The only difference is that people on the outside don't know that there are these tasks, and we do, so the benefits of these tasks are monopolized by us.

Once this matter is known to people from the outside world, such as you, Chen Xiaolian. Then you can also participate in the competition for the benefits of these tasks, and this time you did.

We, actually...... Not as powerful as you think. ”

Speaking of this, Qiao Yifeng exhaled and said with a wry smile: "There are many similar functions, but we can't control them, and we don't have this permission." We...... In fact, it was just a group of tenants who rented in the building of 'Zero City', and the real owner was not there, so we managed the building ourselves.

Although we looked very much like the owners of City Zero.

But actually, we're not!"

Chen Xiaolian didn't ask questions like "who is the real owner of Zero City" or "Where is the real owner of Zero City".

Of course he wouldn't ask that.

So the question he asked was, "So, how do you manage City Zero, and what do you mean by the allocation quota?"

Allocation Credit...... It's a damn thing. Qiao Yifeng's tone was a little depressed.

......

[Still ask for a commuter pass!!]

Can the monthly pass ranking be moved up further?]
