Chapter 12 Information Scales
Shao Nian looked at the guy sitting on the bed in front of him, and from his words, deeds and face, he found a little detail that he hadn't noticed before.
"For the sake of all earthlings, I advise you to tell less precious information everywhere. β
That's right, this guy...... Also from the earth.
"I can't do that, I'm sorry. β
The man replied stubbornly, adding, "After all, your information can be sold for a good price." β
Shao Nian nodded when he heard this. [There are not so few earthlings in this world...... And there are generally tempting things, such as new weapons, science and technology, and completely new ideas...... Huh?]
Thinking of this, Shao Nian's thoughts paused, [Could it be that the incarnation of the ideology is such a thing......]
Noting this point of view, Shao Nian raised his head and looked at Geralt: "Do you talk about it everywhere...... I couldn't do it before, until I was hit by an arrow in the knee. β
"The damage of that arrow is not light, even the queen has been reincarnated. β
Geralt seems to be still teasing Shao Nian. Pity......
[Impulsiveness is costing me too much...... I won't be like that again. γ
Some impulses left indelible scars on Shao Nian's body and mind.
Shao Nian replied calmly: "What you said is not an arrow, it is a cannon." One arrow is much earlier. β
"Looks like I lost my words... I wish you the sooner success in finding Her Majesty the Queen, and may your information not be obtained by the Stalkers. β
Shao Nian thought for a while when he heard this. This guy is really an intelligence ATM...... In the porcelain sword, the news of Her Majesty's reincarnation has been released, and it is not too secretive...... But there are not many people who know that the queen [may be fake]. If you have the opportunity, you can dig deeper into why the news leaked.
As for the trackers...... This is a potential threat for nothing. This trip was really fruitful.
Just as Shao Nian began his thoughts, the man named Gero had already changed his clothes and got out of bed. He walked out of the door with Shao Nian, and lowered his body as he passed by:
"Well, then, I'll go ahead and hope that you and I will get everything we want, sir. β
What do you want? It seems obvious.
Whether it's taking on a difficult bounty task...... Or the same way of doing everything in their power to destroy the beasts.
All of them are beyond the realm of a "reward-obsessed hunter". Plus he didn't hurt a single civilian in that battle...... even deliberately tried to protect civilians, preempting the expansion of the alien beast's situation, and desperately defeating it without having to use the opportunity to maneuver......
"Another child who is obsessed with 'justice'. β
Shao Nian walked towards Kuyimu's room, "Everything starts from reality...... Looks like I need to change my previous request. β
"I'll go talk to Kuyimu again. Please try to soothe the child with Mi Li. β
Shao Nian first found Lian Xin and pointed to the second young master who had been released from hypnosis. Lian Xin nodded, and then Shao Nian was about to go to Kuyimu's study......
And the peaceful middle-aged and old man had already walked in front of him.
Kuyimu looked at Shao Nian, "Officially, welcome to Heping, porcelain sword man." β
[This guy really learned that I was a porcelain sword man not long ago......]
It seems that it is because Ku Yimu can see that the porcelain sword on Shao Nian's waist ......
"That knife is out of the mod fluctuations that weapons dealers are looking after. Such a sophisticated porcelain sword completely outperformed the Helang royal family, and this must be the latest weapon technology of the porcelain sword. β
You heard it right, the porcelain sword is the namesake weapon of this country - sold all over the world. To be exact, it was the porcelain sword that was shipped to the world to sell.
In the past fifteen years, the porcelain sword has realized the industrialization of production through the combination of science and technology and modules. Lacking the supplies necessary to fight the Cult of the Sun, they trade overseas around the world to earn extra money and gather strategic resources. It's a bit like the British factory owner who sold his goods like crazy during the Industrial Revolution.
The items they sell are mainly daily necessities, taking the route of low price and high cost performance, and there is also a large majority, which is to sell porcelain swords and local obsolete arms, such as porcelain swords ten years ago.
Ku Yimu pointed to the long sword on Shao Nian's waist, "Holding this kind of big killing weapon...... I've also heard that the sword can still make a human figure...... I guess you're kind of a character in the porcelain sword. β
It seems that he doesn't know that Shao Nian is a "porcelain sword high-level", and he only thinks that he is a young master or an envoy sent by a certain family...... Shao Nian shrugged, "Eight or nine is not far from ten." β
Kuyimu made a gesture of please, and Shao Nian followed him into the courtyard.
The two chatted while walking, mostly talking about current affairs in the city, and Ku Yimu occasionally asked Shao Nian about the interesting things about the porcelain sword, and the two sides tacitly chose to avoid the topic of interests for the time being.
Subsequentlyβ
"You...... Why?"
Kuyimu asked.
After Shao Nian left the room, the intelligence officer entrusted by Kuyimu quickly handed over Shao Nian's relevant information to him. After understanding the details of the battle against the alien beasts, Shao Nian's skillful response was added...... He vaguely felt that this person was not simple. What's more, it's still a porcelain sword man.
In Heping, and even in the entire southern continent, the name porcelain sword represents the east and west. The name spread rapidly in the southern continent in the past ten years, and then brought a variety of consumer goods, and the small goods made by the porcelain sword people were not only not available in the south, but also used by the southerners and never wanted to leave.
The most important thing is that the magnates in the south were horrified to find that if they sent people to use mods to imitate these items, it would only lead to a much higher cost than the porcelain sword, and the quality could not match the original. This shows that the porcelain sword people have found an intensive, large-scale, and homogeneous way to produce industrial products.
And people, almost nothing is known about this country. The number of porcelain sword merchants selling goods was scarce, and they often came to the big cities alone to set up a chamber of commerce, and except for this person, the people used were all southerners. They mingled well with the magnates, but each person's description of the porcelain sword was very vague and different, and could not be used as a reference at all.
Mysterious, rich, distant. And the country's high-level people will have an additional impression of the porcelain sword: Wuwu.
porcelain sword weapons, expensive, but ...... Miracles are always done.
To get back to the point, because of this, after Ku Yimu learned that Shao Nian was a porcelain sword man, he wanted to understand this person and thus understand the porcelain sword...... I am also afraid of the mysterious and terrifying explosive power of the porcelain sword man.
[Who knows...... Are these people trying to turn the whole south upside down!]
And Shao Nian, after hearing Ku Yimu's inquiry, smiled softly.
"I'm just here...... Leave footprints. β
"Footprints?"
Kuyimu wondered.
And Shao Nian looked directly at Kuyimu and said softly: "I, I came to the south for the sake of a cooperative partner. And Mr. Kuyimu is obviously in line with the impression that we porcelain sword people have of partners. β
He pointed to the outside of the city, "Some things in the city may be contrary to our interests, and of course they are not conducive to the interests of Heping. What I want to do is to safeguard the common good. β
Kuyimu frowned, "You mean Yukawa's attack?"
Shao Nian shook his head, "I'm afraid you haven't realized how much trouble Helang is going to face. β
Ku Yimu's brows furrowed even tighter, and Shao Nian whispered a few words in his ear at this time.
"What...... It can't be!"
Kuyimu almost roared, and then he restrained, "No, there's a good chance you're talking about that monster...... I just want to protect myself!"
Shao Nian put his index finger in front of his lips, "Mr. Kuyimu, I want fewer people to know this news, which is more in your interest and mine." β
At this time, it is no longer about the common interests of the porcelain sword and Heping, but the interests of Kuyimu and Shao Nian are emphasized.
And Shao Nian's interests always belong to the porcelain sword.
What else did Kuimu want to say...... Yet he stopped in fear.
"Whether you say it or not, you can't stand it for His Royal Highness......"
"You're good at coordination, and I'll help you deal with this. β
Shao Nian said, "I will stand on the same position as you. Please bless me for a while. β
β...... You and your partner will stay in my house for the time being. I will arrange a separate courtyard for you to live in. β
The storm is coming, and before that, it's better to solve internal problems first.
"Is that guy gone too......"
Shao Nian's afterglow swept across the perimeter of the courtyard, and a dark-haired man walked out of the door, his steps were urgent and slightly unsteady, perhaps because the scar had not healed - it was Geralt.
"Then I'll take the little girl shopping. β
Shao Nian clapped his palms and saluted and left, leaving Kuyimu with a heavy face. The middle-aged man held his forehead and paced nervously back and forth in the room.
Shao Nian is in front, rice grains are in the middle, and behind is Lian Xin who is holding her little hand. The three of them wandered through the streets of the city.
"Oh, the traffic is busy, people come and go, the hawkers call, the shopkeeper shouts, the former calls, the latter responds, the guests are happy and happy, this is still in the medieval Monlean city actually has such a prosperous scene. β
Shao Nian was amazed as he walked, but his face was by no means the kind of surprise that a countryman would have entered the city, but a bit like a leader inspecting a local provincial capital.
"It's really prosperous. Lian Xin pulled the rice grain and showed a joyful smile: "It's the first time I've seen so many people." Are you afraid? Millet grains?"
Mi Li held Lian Xin's hand tightly, "...... Fear. β
Shao Nian looked back at Mi Li, "Don't be afraid, little comrade." The vast majority of people you meet in your life will not have any verbal contact with you, and even if they do, only a few people have malicious intentions. Don't be afraid. β
Shao Nian paused, "Even if someone wants to do something wrong, I will protect you from harm." β
Many years ago, Shao Nian traveled to the other world, and it was Mi Li who gave him a team to rely on, that is, his friends who were still alive before.
Now, the king's chariot is transposed, and it is his turn to protect the young king.
"Of course, Mi Li," Shao Nian said again, "I prefer that you can protect yourself." That's a valuable ability. β
The rice grains shrunk, "...... I...... Can't do it. β
"Don't worry!" Lian Xin rubbed her head, "Isn't there still us?" the teacher will teach you how to deal with it, after all, ...... There will be a day when we will part. β
When she said the last sentence, Lian Xin looked at Shao Nian, and in her eyes, speculation and confusion flashed. This man named Shao Nian ...... "I still don't know much about him," Lian Xin thought, "but at least I'm more sure...... He doesn't harm grains of rice. β
Shao Nian looked at the rice grains, and then turned his gaze to the street. In fact, he took Mi Li and Lian Xin out this time, shopping and accompanying the little girl on the one hand, the main thing was to follow the guy Jellot.
Before going out, he changed his left eye to an infrared eye, although now he sees that the people on the street are basically red (whether they are people or aliens have body temperature), but the young man named Gero not far away is still very clear, his arms and back are large areas of blue blue, that is because this guy has been mechanically modified, and there is a lot of cold metal on his body, which is as conspicuous as an oasis in the vast infrared ocean.
Shao Nian was choosing cute bows and teaching materials for Mi Li, while glancing at Gero with his spare eyes, and after a while, he found Gero walking into a tavern, and judging from the actions of the characters inside, Geralt was talking to someone in a low voice.
"This man...... Trading on the grapevine?"
Shao Nian rubbed his chin, he really wanted to find out what Geralt said, the problem is that there is a problem with that tavern at first glance, he still has two female compatriots here, and he didn't bring it out in order not to alarm Geralt, and the risk of going in this is too high.
"Forget it...... Find a good brother of the porcelain sword and ask. β
Shao Nian made a decision. He stretched out his arms and said to Lian Xin and Mi Li: "This way, I'll take you to meet an interesting uncle." β
"......" Mi Li looked at Lian Xin, and Lian Xin took Mi Li's hand, "Go and have a look." Maybe he'll be a pleasant person. You also have to learn to deal with people~"
Shao Nianxin said that this person is not only interesting, but the good brother he is looking for can be said to be both wise and brave.
After all, the people who are sent to the south by the porcelain sword to dump arms must be the elite of the elite in order to safeguard the interests of the country.
"Oh yes, that uncle's name is Chengxun, remember to be polite later. β
Then he walked towards his goal, turning his back to the crowd, and he quietly pulled out a small coat of arms with a porcelain sword drawn on it, his nails scratching the surface, and a faint glow emerged from the scratches.
At the same time, in a large mansion in the center of the city, a young man is holding two ledgers to check the gains and losses. Suddenly, he looked up in Shao Nian's direction.
