The crazy world brought even crazier celebrations, and when the last month of the year, when the New Year, which was most valued by the Orientals, arrived, the whole city was completely in a frenzy.

The streets are lit up with lanterns, fireworks and firecrackers for the next millennium.

The soldiers and vehicles of the expedition slowly entered through the gates of the city wall, and the next month was their only vacation and adjustment period of the year.

While completing the physical examination and adjustment, they will also exchange all their resources for real combat power, and big transactions and big markets are also part of the celebration.

At the end of the year, at the final auction, it is most likely to encounter divine materials, and in official and various unofficial trading platforms, there is only what you can't think of, and nothing you can't buy.

There are even rumors of alien females and cubs in illegal underground auctions in the nameless area and the black market.

Light and darkness go hand in hand, the changes of the times bring endless sin and glory, at least, at this moment, humanity can celebrate that it has spent a year of peace.

The area of the city has been opened up to the maximum, and after this last month, even the residents of the Fourth Ring Road can not worry about intermittent space-time earthquakes and visitors from outside the territory.

People have relaxed smiles on their faces, and the streets are filled with all kinds of small vendors and street performers who make a fortune at the end of the year.

Even the city managers, who used to be unsmiling, have become much easier to discuss.

As for the vehicles and soldiers who left the city against common sense, they were just small streams in the middle of the river and sea, and they did not attract much attention.

The returning warriors, while resting and adjusting, will also take a look at the new psionic organs and blade branches in the library and museum, browse the new research results of the R&D department, and then browse the new artificial spiritual artifacts on the market.

The renewal of the individual is necessary, and the metabolism of the warband is also necessary.

Many major battle groups, big forces, and legions will fire a group of people at the end of the year, and then recruit a group of people, and the losers of the previous rookie competition inexplicably received a bunch of recruitment calls and invitations, even those who did not enter the semi-finals, and also received a surprise reward.

Among them, many of the remuneration and treatment are even better than those of the previous semi-finalists? The weaker received better pay and treatment.

After all? What the warband needs to be replenished is not just the ace seedling? A green leaf backbone is also a must? And even the latter is more important...... If you really cultivate for ten or twenty years, it's hard to say who is stronger than whom.

Ultimately? As a market resource, talent still follows the principle that a rising tide lifts all boats.

When the market is flooded with more buyers? Rising salaries and salaries? Many people even begin to regret selling themselves too cheaply.

In fact, many of the losers are an invitation that completely changes their fate.

"December surprise"? Is it specifically used to describe this phenomenon? And it's not just for newcomers.

The veterans who reorganized the war group and jumped freely are the main force in the market.

It's not just the people who are busy, but also the lords, city lords, and mayors of the outer and outer rings, many of whom will choose to return to the city for the New Year.

In addition to buying materials, talents, and resources in the private market to make up for their needs? Also talk to the mayor, the town guard, and the council about the allocation of resources and the budget for the coming year.

Generally speaking, the camps and towns on the outskirts are self-financed? It is unrealistic to rely solely on the main city.

But there are always areas that are sacrificed for the sake of strategy, and there are those who want to defend a certain resource point? Some are even just to accommodate the overflowing population.

Grapevine, and a few more remote urban areas? It is an autonomous region dedicated to dangerous aliens and sub-ethnic groups.

These more functional urban areas, towns? Is it too impossible to break even? While the main city has a very tight control over it, it must also bear the cost of all aspects of it.

The annual budget, money, resources, and even talents are enough for these officials to roll up their sleeves and have a good showdown in the council hall...... Well, a lot of the bigwigs are directly chosen in the arena.

As far as the naked eye can see, there are a lot more people on the streets, and even though there are many more batches of public transportation such as buses, they are still overcrowded.

The last month of the year is the busiest month in the city.

The people above have the fun above, but the migrant workers below need to relax and watch the drama more.

The year-end Sword Saint Tournament of the nature of the "Spring Festival Gala" has also officially opened, and countless top fighters have entered the battlefield, eager to show their strength and treatment to the world.

Various organizations are also ready to recruit people by position and check...... In the past, it was a careful selection of "reserve cadres" to be recruited, but now it is a large amount of subsidies to the backbone grassroots.

In this context, the last game of the rookie competition received the greatest attention, and even ushered in batches of advertising bids.

Cause? "The opening match of the Juggernaut Tournament", "Appetizers before dinner"

But this time, the situation is a bit more delicate.

The two who won the rookie crown are extremely good in personal strength, and it is not a big mistake to say that the first and second in the rookie competition....... It's just that the gap between the first and second is a little too big!

"What, format adjustments? It is not possible to choose a random venue....... You want to trick me? ”

When he received the notice from the head of the Long room, Zheng Li only heard him speak, and he knew what they wanted to do.

If you can choose the venue for the finals, you will choose as big as possible, and how complex the scene is.

、

The goal is very clear, that is, Wang Siqi can't see himself until he hangs up.

But now I've heard that a venue will be designated...... This makes it clear that you want to pit yourself.

“...... You know, the focus of the finals is high, and if there is a second of arrows, a second of a knife, a lot of people will be very disappointed......."

"I don't care if they're disappointed! I just want my spot...... Is it good?! ”

Zheng Li is also very realistic, knowing that most of the individuals can't screw the official in this kind of thing, and more often talk about the conditions.

As long as the negotiation is good, it is not only an extra bonus, but it may even double the championship income.

"What benefits do you want, don't go too far. Even if you are scheduled to change the small and medium-sized venues, your chances of winning are still higher than those of the opposite side, which will not change the final result, but just let Wang Siqi have more opportunities to show. ”

“...... I heard that there are additional rewards for the champion and runner-up? ”

"Well, a condition that is not excessive, such as joining a department or something. Money and resources are fine. ”

"The champion reward is replaced with a whale's eye, or some other spiritual material on it."

Without hesitation, Zheng Li opened his mouth.

The other side was stunned, even the first director of the logistics department in charge of logistics, he had never seen such a lion open his mouth, this is basically a strategic material in a big city, how can it be given to a private person casually.

On the other end of the voice, there was a subtle human voice, which seemed to be discussing.

"Ahem, no, the last one was transferred some time ago...... At your be. Don't be too greedy, the time whale material is one less piece, and it is very difficult to maintain the time to move the city, and the resources we use to buy other time system materials every year are astronomical, and it is impossible to get you another one. ”

Zheng Li didn't react, but this was also expected, otherwise the Ministry of Foreign Affairs would not have paid so much attention to the whalebone, and took it as a credit for monopoly...... If you inform the Ministry of Internal Affairs in advance, it won't be like that.

But negotiation is not just a matter of bargaining.

"A weapon that can shatter 30 meters of divine defense."

“........ You might as well have God's eyes. Wrong! What information do you know there? Do you know what level you're at? ”

Room Chief Long gasped, and instantly became nervous, it seemed that he should not know about the "missing question" yet.

Zheng Li hurriedly explained that it was the semi-official channel that got the news, and the other side breathed a sigh of relief, and repeatedly emphasized that it should not be nonsense everywhere, and it would be top-secret information until January next year.

But refusing twice in a row also made the head of the dragon a little hesitant.

He knew that this was a negotiation trick on the other side, constantly raising his psychological bid, but it was not a matter if it went on like this.

"Don't go too far, I know you're trying to lift my psychological price. In the past dynasties, Guanya has taken divine materials, and I can help you choose the right one for you within my authority. ”

"The core material of negative emotions is best related to the mind and heart."

Zheng Li didn't expect to get the materials of the time system, it was too rare, and among his own spirit blades, Ah Poor was the most difficult to break through, its materials were not expensive but scarce.

"Hehe, you kid really still has a hand hidden....... Okay, I'll look through it, there should be a suitable one, at least better than the time system. ”

The phone hung up, and Zheng Li also smiled, which was really unexpected.

Sometimes the huge resource pool of the city is used as a background, and it is not difficult to find the rare materials that are suitable for the poor.

Suddenly, the phone rang again, and it was still the same person.

“...... Well, I just looked at the business contract, and there are advertisers who say that they want at least 5 minutes of small shots, and they offer a very high price. ”

What Zheng Li said in seconds, it is nothing more than that the game will drag on for more than five minutes, are you so optimistic about Wang Siqi?

"Okay, little things, take people's money. But I have a small question. Rest assured, the little things that don't matter. ”

Zheng Li didn't talk about additional conditions, the big head has already been decided, and no matter how much he cares about the opposite side, it will not bleed heavily, but it will make people unhappy.

"Say."

Obviously, hearing that Zheng Li did not mention any more conditions, Room Chief Long breathed a sigh of relief.

"The change of the venue should not be determined by me alone, I should ask Wang Siqi who is in favor of the party first, so, did he choose? Did you choose the runner-up material? ”

With these words, the question almost suffocated the head of the dragon room.

Can you answer? There will definitely be an obvious grade gap in the materials of the champion and runner-up, if Wang Siqi has already selected the runner-up materials, it undoubtedly means that he is not sure to defeat Zheng Li at all, and the hole cards in his hand are not enough at all?

"Doot toot!"

There was no answer, and the phone hung up.

And listening to the blind tone on the phone, Zheng Li already knew the answer.
