Chapter 83: Study Group

Organize a mid-range hunt just for the psionic materials you need?

After a little calculation, it exceeded the direct and indirect expenditure of 400,000 yuan, and Zheng Li and the nascent peace war group were not so generous.

You must know that the reason for the disbandment and collapse of most rookie warbands is that they did not get enough benefits in the first few activities.

Any discord in the relationship, uneven distribution of spoils, and inappropriate matching of abilities are all results rather than causes.

As long as the beginning is earned, even if there is not enough immediate positive feedback (bonuses, spoils), the members will be full of expectations for the future and be able to endure temporary injustice.

But if the first task is debt and failure, not to mention that the head of the regiment who is in charge of the main responsibility will be damaged in confidence and pressure, and the members will have more or less other ideas....... With ideas, there are actions and gossip, two more failures, the hearts of the people are scattered, the team is not easy to bring, and it is not far from complete disbandment.

"The employer is the big guy? Who? Inner ring? ”

Zheng Li noticed that Wu Sanjun was even more concerned about the development of this new battle group than himself, and he was indeed a veteran and paid attention to the key points.

"The senior researchers of the R&D department seem to be collecting some materials, they have sufficient funds, and they lack stable combat support, so they are the group that likes to hire combat power the most, and I heard that they are quite generous."

If you run a ride alone, you will definitely lose money, but if you complete one or two other people's tasks in your own journey, you will probably earn money.

"Ryukakube? Yes, it's their words, it's okay to make less. ”

Even Wu Sanjun, who was most concerned about the financial situation, heard that it was a commission from the Psionic R&D Department, and felt that he could make less money, and it was better to have some connections.

The Psionic R&D Department, along with the Ministry of the Interior, the Ministry of Communications, and the Ministry of the Army, is the first of the four ministries and commissions, and it is also the production center of most psionic products.

You must know that those three ministries and commissions all have directly subordinate armies and legions, and external military bases, and scholars and academic organizations can be placed side by side with them, which is enough to prove their lofty status in the city.

They are not only top-notch research institutions themselves, but also have inextricable relationships with many large companies and academic groups, and hold many exclusive sales channels for new technologies, new products, and military supplies, and are the most desired objects of friendship for independent wargroups.

As long as you are a junior researcher, you can live in the safest part of the road without tax burden, and you don't need to go out of the city to have all kinds of resources to replenish it, and while enjoying your rights, you naturally have to take responsibility.

It is said that its internal competition is quite terrifying, and it has not produced results in two quarters...... Well, at least for now, the people of the Peace Corps are still looking forward to seeing their employers, and these people are hard to come by.

At that time, Zheng Li was still a little surprised when he saw the content of the task commission, after all, senior researchers had already selected the senior management of the R&D department, and there were often stable partners and cooperative companies, so the possibility of hanging the commission outside was not high.

It's just that when those researchers walked in, Zheng Li and his party were surprised at the same time, and they were able to understand the current situation in an instant.

"Digital people and gorgons? It's amazing to be a senior researcher. ”

It was a research team of three researchers, but it was also three races....... Uh, it seems a bit politically incorrect, it should be two branches of humanity, uh, it still doesn't seem right, it's three "people" anyway.

The leader was a spirited silver-haired old man, with the golden dragon emblem of a high-level researcher on his chest, apparently the leader of the group.

But what catches the eye more is the light-colored number string of "323424235177721" on his forehead, the same number on the back of his right hand, and the stripe code pattern of the new era on the back of his left hand.

Digital People, Digital City....... The specialty of Ningping City is not any different from ordinary purebred humans in terms of physiological structure, but as long as there is a mouth, the difference is obvious.

"Hello, I am Ke Jialiang, a senior researcher in the R&D department, thank you for accepting my personal commission, I checked your data, according to your past resume, the probability of completing my B-level commission is more than 90%, I personally expect that this development can meet the data, and finally get a better result."

After a pause to make sure Zheng Li had no doubts and no response, he continued.

"I will increase the commission amount depending on the completion of the order, and the floating bonus is between 15% and 25%. However, if the final mission fails due to your fault, I will also file a complaint with the city government and lower your credit rating. ”

This open, mechanical speech and calm expression, good and bad together, the standard "digital city robot", 100% business, made the audience panic.

Ningping City is the first of the six surrounding cities...... The first in chronological order, they are the only city that does not have god-level strategic weapons, and they still use psionic technology and strategic weapons from the old era.

And in order to gain a foothold in this dangerous place, they adopted a very controversial practice at the time, which was to complete data management and cultivation of human beings, maximizing human resources.

Including but not limited to human qualification assessment (if it is too inferior, don't waste resources), consciousness and knowledge indoctrination (direct connection in the back of the head), job assignment (warriors, researchers), life arrangement packages (including but not limited to the breeding of offspring of the designated spouse), and a large number of "digital robots" have been mass-produced.

Due to immature consciousness and knowledge indoctrination technology, "digital people" generally behave in a standard and mechanical manner, speak and do things at a glance, and the interaction with normal people is very uncomfortable.

"Ha, you actually hate digital cities and digital people? You're racist! You're done! ”

"Uh, you treat digital people as other races, and you still call me racist?!"

Classic jokes never go out of style, even if the current people in the six central cities meet, you can use "I hate digital people and digital cities" as the beginning of the topic, and most of the people on the opposite side will be followed by a sentence "What a coincidence, I hate it too." Is there anyone in the Middle Six Cities who doesn't hate them? Uh, they all hate themselves themselves! Or how many immigrants. ”

Of course, with the improvement of the general situation, most of these systems have now been abolished, and the atmosphere in the digital city is much more normal.

The current situation, the number on the forehead of the newborn is more of a custom than "the instruction number to do something at a certain time and a certain place", but the culture and customs have been passed down for hundreds of years, but they are not changed just by saying that they can be changed.

So far, many "digital people" still have the imprint of the digital city, and they are extremely "efficient" in speaking and doing things, and they seem extremely heterogeneous and unsociable on the outside.

On the other hand, many people don't remember the real name of Ningping City, and they have always had a digital city and digital people, which has further shortened the distance between the two sides.

Originally, when I heard that the final area of this Sword Saint Tournament was in Digital City, many people dispelled the idea of watching the scene, but Zheng Li couldn't hide from it.

But he didn't expect that he would meet a "digital person" at this time, what does it mean to complain when he opens his mouth? If you don't trust me, don't hire me, isn't this the first time you meet someone to add to the blockage?

"Hehe, Professor Ke didn't mean that. He's just used to imagining everything, and he trusts you, and in his words, if there's no problem with the information, the success rate is quite high. ”

Well, Zheng Li is a little bit untough, this information is really fake.

The person who came to greet him with a smile was an intermediate researcher of the Silver Dragon Emblem, although he was a middle-aged man with a scruffy beard, but he seemed to be the most suitable person to deal with in this research group.

The last one? A snake-haired woman, who is also an intermediate researcher, has not looked at people since she came in, and no one else has looked at her.

This race....... It's a branch of the Inhumans, and it's true that it's nominally human, but it's a slave race that has been paid by humans in history, and the process doesn't seem to need to be carried out much.

It may be that there are too many betrayals, and the big city of the people of the Eastern Continent is relatively friendly to foreigners who are willing to naturalize and accept the culture and education of Eastern people....... This kind of native alien race often suffers much better than foreign aliens, and the overall treatment is similar to that of subhumans, and whether or not to include them in subhumans is also a traditional parliamentary saliva issue.

Only the snake-haired people, who have received a full set of human cultural education, are always inexplicably expelled from the mainstream cultural circle.

Cause?

“...... Uh-uh-uh, it's horrible! Lots of teeth and eyes! ”

The shivering rabbit undoubtedly says it all.

Gorgons do not have hair in the conventional sense, and they often have scales, sharp claws, and tentacles with mouths on their heads, which make people feel uncomfortable subconsciously.

Such tentacles, they have behind them and their footsteps, and the whole person walks like a group of tentacles dragging them, saying that they are snakeheads, but in fact, they are octopus people who are closer to soft-bodied creatures.

Cabbage skin, generally over 1.9 meters in size, and eyes that are always closed, at least a dozen tentacles entangled, there is a strong sense of alienism all over the body....... Obviously, Zheng Li also knows that there is really no gap between the snake-haired people in this era and ordinary humans.

The silver researcher in front of him, even in the face of the rabbit's rudeness, only nodded slowly.

She is also used to it, especially since the other party is obviously also a stranger, and it seems that she is still herbivorous, and she has not fainted directly or turned around to run, which is already more polite.

A digital person, a snake-haired man, and a middle-aged decadent uncle, such a combination of researchers is also extremely rare...... Even if it is not excluded, it is estimated that it will be marginalized.

"My name is Ma Xiaobao, her Chinese name is Snake Xiangling, Teacher Ke is an expert in psionic botany, I am mainly responsible for the research of associated insects and biological systems, and Ms. Snake is an authority in psionic alchemy and biopharmaceuticals. Our research goal is the cultivation and commonality of a special companion plant ........"

It turned out that the destination of their group was also a small world numbered 134.

There, there is an area that was previously opened up as an experimental field, where Professor Ke originally planted some rare psionic creatures, hired some local residents to help maintain them, and regularly checked the results.

Now, it's almost time for the harvest, and the first harvest can be studied for various uses, including pharmaceuticals, and there are several new drugs that may be used, and the results are quite expected.

However, from a recent letter, the research team learned that it had become unsafe and needed a certain amount of armed force, so they put up the commission and hired a peace war group.

“...... It's just a Class B commission, and we don't need you to take the initiative to fight, such as crusading against alien beasts or something. Just escort us wherever we go. Where there are our acquaintances, there should be no problem with the follow-up. If the cooperation is pleasant, I will contact you again in the follow-up commission. ”

Zheng Li nodded, he was not stupid enough to ask "why don't you use the war group under the command of the R&D department", this is obviously a marginal project of marginal people.

At that time, I took this job, also because it was just a simple escort task, which was simple and easy to complete, so why bother to dig deeper, everyone was good to get together and disperse.

The convoy will only take the main road, and what to do when it reaches the point of divergence, a certain amount of escort force is still needed.

Such escort tasks are piled up every day, just looking at the mission description, there is nothing special.

"Why don't you just stay here, there are more rooms, it should be more comfortable than your room."

Zheng Li also expressed his friendliness by the way, he knew that most of the other party also bought tickets, and each space in those cabins could be sold for money, and the treatment was not as good as the inside of Firefly.

The three of them looked at each other, Professor Ke nodded, and the matter was settled.

There are comfortable soft beds to sleep on, who is willing to squeeze three layers of hard bunk covers and steamer carriages, the researcher's money is also money, and research funds will always be lacking.

"Thanks, then we'll be disrespectful. In return, I'm an agriculturist and botanist, Pony is a biologist, and Snake is a medical doctor and master alchemist. If you have time during your stay and have any questions or needs, you can ask us directly. ”

At this time, Zheng Li liked the high efficiency of digital people.

Not to mention, he really has something to trouble the other party.
