Chapter 58: The Hunting Federation Conference, the Gate of Baoze
Jinghai Base City, Witcher Federation.
Around the round table, a group of middle-aged people in suits with serious faces sat down.
They are all high-level liaison officers of the Hunting Federation, and they are also the managers of the Hunting Federation in Jinghai City, with an administrative level recognized by the state, that is, they hold a certain amount of public power.
Among them, the middle-aged man sitting in the main seat is Qin Kun, an A-level liaison, who is also the president of the Jinghai Base City Hunting Federation.
On Qin Kun's left and right hands, there were all BBB-level liaisons, each of whom was responsible for the liaison work of at least one of the top city heroes.
After that, it is the position of BB and B level contacts.
Chen Shen sat at the end. Originally, with his identity, he could sit in the seat at the front, but Chen Shen didn't care so much about face, and every time he had a meeting, he was always at the bottom of the seat.
Such an attitude also makes other contacts feel more comfortable. So even if Chen Shen loses power, no one will spend effort to rectify him.
Of course, in addition to the registered seal warriors of the Lielian, it is actually a semi-officialdom, stepping on the high and low, and the red top white is the basic operation, after Chen Shen lost power, he must have suffered from many people's fingers and sarcasm.
From the top of the Hunting Federation and the high-level with great power to speak, to the last one now, Xiao Transparent, others are afraid that they will be sick, but Chen Shen is peaceful.
However, there are still a few slightly younger contacts sitting behind Chen Shen today, and they are basically C-file contacts, with relatively low qualifications and status. Admission to this meeting is specifically approved by the President, and is not a member of the Committee.
"Today, we have a meeting to discuss an important matter, which is the recommendation of candidates for the spiritual passage to enter the place. ”
Qin Kun, the president sitting in the main seat, the A-level liaison, coughed lightly and got to the point, "Tang Chong, you can explain." ”
Sitting in third place on the left? Tang Chong, a slightly chubby commissioner? Pushing his glasses, he opened the material:
"A new spiritual gate has recently appeared in our Jiangnan Region? Unfortunately, it opened in Baoze Village, which is in the Qingjiang Base Municipal District? It seriously threatens the safety of one city and six cities in Qingjiang and must be closed as soon as possible. ”
"This door is named 'Baoze'. Qingjiang City Hunting Federation took quick action? Gather people and quickly exterminate the first batch of demon spirits that crossed the border? Compressed the Wisp's area of activity? At the same time, the evacuation of the masses of Baoze Village was urgently organized. ”
"Now, the Qingjiang City Hunting Federation has taken control of the Baoze Gate area. Through the law of heat expansion and cold contraction of the Spirit Gate, as long as you persistently kill the demon spirits that emerge from the Gate of Treasure Heaven, the Gate of Treasure will continue to shrink? Until the 'Boundary Stone' appears? Break all the boundary stones and you're done. ”
"However, the Treasure Gate is not opened in a good position, there is no way to wait for it to shrink slowly, you must enter retrograde through the Spirit Gate and find all the boundary stones? Smash them!"
Among the Hunters present, who are the contacts above grade B? I already knew the news in advance, but I wasn't surprised? On the contrary, the eyes of several C-file contacts who participated in the special meeting were a little wide-eyed.
The spirit world? For humans in the material realm? It's a mysterious place.
In the beginning? Humans don't know anything about the spirit world, because spirits don't communicate peacefully with humans, and humans don't have the ability to interrogate spirits to get answers.
Later, with the development of the Lingzi civilization, mainly more and more high-level runes were discovered, and human beings finally figured out the retrograde method of the gate of the spirit world through exploration.
In the later stages of the Heroic Age, there were heroes who entered the spirit world retrograde through the gates of the spirit world.
People's understanding of the spiritual world has only slowly accumulated.
Retrograde entry into the spiritual realm is not as dangerous as people think.
The spirit world is made up of small spaces, like isolated islands in the ocean. In fact, every island corresponds to a spiritual gate, and the demon spirits who invade the material world through this spiritual gate are also the "guests" on this island.
Sealing warriors who retrograde enter a certain space in the spirit world need to face the demon spirits in this small space, not the entire spirit world. The strength of the demon spirits in this small space is predictable-related to the "level" of the Spirit Gate.
The higher the level of the Spirit Gate, the stronger the overall strength of the demon spirit in the corresponding Spirit Realm space.
On the other hand, if the Sealing Warrior crosses the Spirit Gate retrograde, he will also be limited by the Spirit Gate level. It is aimed at the realm of the Sealed Warriors, as well as the number of people.
For example, the Gate of Baoze in Qingjiang Base City only allows seal warriors below the Three Pillars Realm to enter! This means that many powerful seal warriors of the Hunting Federation are turned away.
In addition, there are only five people allowed to enter the Gate of Treasure during the same opening cycle.
If you want to enter the Gate of Treasure and destroy all the boundary stones, you must find five sealing warriors below the Three Pillars Realm to carry out this mission.
Of course, if there is a risk, there will be a gain, and when you destroy each boundary stone, you will burst out with a rich and pure spirit child, and the sealing warrior can absorb it to your heart's content, enhance your own spiritual pressure, and improve your strength without worrying about any side effects.
With this in mind, the Gate of Treasure is actually an opportunity to enhance its potential. The officials of the Jiangnan Region naturally decided to hand over this rare opportunity to the sealing warriors of the Jiangnan Region.
The first five places to enter the Gate of Baoze are undoubtedly the most rewarding, but also the most risky.
Let's talk about the benefits first, the spiritual space corresponding to the Gate of Baoze has a certain number of boundary stones, maintaining the existence of the Gate of Baoze in the material world, and if you enter the first batch, it is relatively easiest to find the boundary stones.
As the remaining boundary stones become fewer and fewer, it will be difficult to find the second and third groups of people who enter. According to experience, the energy level of the Gate of Treasure is not high, and the corresponding spiritual space is relatively average, and the number of boundary stones owned should not exceed ten, if the people in front are lucky, maybe the second batch will be over.
As for the risk, the first people to enter were to break into the unfamiliar spiritual area with a blank eye, and the demons they encountered were all unseen before, and they lacked intelligence information in all aspects. Although it is said that through the energy level of the Treasure Gate, it is judged that there are no too strong demon spirits in it, but after all, it is only an inference based on past experience, and no one dares to guarantee it 100%.
Therefore, the first batch of entrants are the easiest to harvest boundary stones, and they are also the most prone to risks.
It's just that the way of thinking of people in the Lingzi era is different from that in the peaceful period of the A.D. era. In particular, the Seal Warriors are willing to take some extra risks in order to become stronger.
After all, if you become a sealing warrior, you are destined to have no more peaceful and leisurely days, and the biggest enemy is yourself, so what's the point of taking some extra risks?
Commissioner Tang Chong continued: "It seems that everyone knows something about the Spirit Gate and the Boundary Stone, so I won't introduce it too much. Now the Jiangnan Region Hunting Federation requires each base city to recommend a quota to go up, and requires that the principle of fairness and justice must be based on the principle of fairness and justice, and those who are the best and most potential teenagers must be selected, and their strength must be lower than that of the Three Pillars Realm. ”
After a pause, Tang Chong said: "After full discussion, we have three candidates, namely Jiang Cheng from Gaocheng No. 1 Middle School, Xu Wenxin from Jinghai No. 1 Middle School, and Dward Caldwell, an exchange student from Dayou Senior High School. You have the floor to vote. ”
Everyone turned the page of the information, and the three candidates and their personal information had been printed on the information paper.
The first page is Jiangcheng.
[Jiang Cheng, male, 17 years old, originally from Putang Village, Gaocheng, Jinghai, transferred to Gaocheng No. 1 Middle School at the age of 15. Registered Witcher of the Hunter Federation, CC Rank. Current realm: The peak of the two-pillar realm, and the records he has achieved in open competitions are ......]
The following is a brief profile of Jiang Cheng, which has been recorded from his performance as a substitute last year to several reversal victories when he became a general this year, including the last two, defeating Dward Caldwell and defeating Xu Wenxin.
Kong Jinhua looked at this page of information with a somewhat complicated expression, then quietly raised his head, and looked at Chen Shen with a calm expression, as if he was nothing.
If the Hunter Federation does not record the past results in the data, then there is still a turn for the better. But since the Hunting Federation takes the record of the record as part of the data, it itself represents an attitude - at least, it represents the attitude of member Tang Chong.
However, although he lacked confidence, Kong Jinhua still had to open his mouth and charge.
"Wait a minute, that exchange student from Otomo High School is also on the list of candidates? ”
Before Kong Jinhua could speak, a member of the committee raised his hand, "The Gate of Baoze is both a disaster and an opportunity, and an opportunity like this should be left to our geniuses in Huaxia." No matter how well the exchange students are trained, they will be someone else's family after all, and I think everyone here should understand this. ”
A group of contacts, some nodded, some were silent.
Suddenly, the committee member who was sitting in the second position on the right hand of Chairman Qin Kun spoke.
"Lao Xu, don't look at the problem so narrowly. There is a certain gap between our country and the United States and Canada in terms of Lingzi civilization, which we must admit. It took us a lot of effort to negotiate the exchange student system, and if we engage in discriminatory treatment behind closed doors, will foreign schools continue to maintain exchanges? It will be even more difficult for us to overtake in corners and speed up to catch up with the development level of the United States and Canada. ”
The committee member who spoke was called Wei Jicheng.
After Wei Jicheng finished speaking, soon the previous committee member retorted:
"I beg to agree with what the old guard said. Why is China's Lingzi technology lagging behind? It is because the demon spirits are strong and the sealing warriors are weak, so they can't bring a large number of the most cutting-edge materials to the researchers! There are still many dangerous but knowledge-rich places, and the sealing warriors can't protect the researchers, and they can't study with peace of mind. Therefore, enhancing the strength of the sealing warriors is the foundation of our country's self-improvement. All the good resources are taken up by foreigners, and the overall level of the sealing warriors can't keep up, so it's called communication?
Being scolded like this, Wei Jicheng did not have the slightest anger on his face, and said with a smile: "Lao Xu, calm down, our main contradiction now is the contradiction between humans and demons for limited living space, not the contradiction between Huaxia and the United States and Canada for development, the main and secondary are clearly distinguished." The United States and Canada are not our enemies, so why should they say so seriously?"
After a pause, Wei Jicheng said: "However, I don't want to recommend Dward, after all, Jiang Cheng defeated this exchange student in the game, and his strength should be better, so there is no need to recommend exchange students, and there is no need to argue on this issue." ”
Wei Jicheng has always supported the exchange student policy, and since he does not recommend Deward, naturally no one will speak for Deward.
The question is focused on the remaining two candidates.
"Lao Chen, Jinhua, I remember that Jiang Cheng and Xu Wenxin's contacts are the two of you, right?" President Qin Kun started talking, "Why does Lao Chen sit in the back as soon as the meeting starts, come and come, sit forward, and by the way, tell me your opinion." ”
Qin Kun spoke, and immediately several people got up and wanted to change seats with Chen Shen, and even the first two or three BBB-level contacts got up, especially a few B-level contacts.
Chen Shen smiled: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter where you sit. He half-pushed, half-pushed, and sat down in front of several B-class liaisons.
At this time, Chen Shen's position was already close to the middle of the long table, which was much more conspicuous than the last position at the beginning.
Kong Jinhua looked at this scene, and he also felt a lot in his heart.
The power of the liaison seems to come from the state, but the actual influence, including the right to speak in the Hunting Federation, is closely related to the strength of the responsible witcher.
Chen Shen was originally in charge of the city hero-level witcher, but as the opponent's strength climbed, he also rose all the way to the high position of a BBB-level witcher, what a scenery. But with the withdrawal of the demon hunter from the Hunting Federation, Chen Shen's level is still there, but in terms of actual influence, he is not even as good as some C-file contacts.
Now, Chen Shen has found a potential new star, Jiang Cheng! Everyone can see the potential of Jiang Cheng, and in time, I am afraid that he will be a hero of the city again, and in a few years, Chen Shen will be able to restore his original status. From today's seat change, it can actually be seen that Chen Shen's right to speak has recovered.
"I've already talked to Jiang Cheng, and he is willing to accept this mission and promise not to disgrace Jinghai. Chen Shen said, "Actually, Jiang Cheng already has the ability to advance to the Three Pillars Realm, and for the sake of this mission, he chose not to be promoted for the time being." Based on Jiang Cheng's record, everyone should be able to see that below the Three Pillars Realm, Jiang Cheng is almost invincible. ”
Kong Jinhua saw that several committee members were nodding, and hurriedly said: "This opportunity, is it better to give Xu Wenxin?" After all, Xu Wenxin has inherited the Fire Secret Sword of the Jinghai Xu Clan, if he can take this opportunity to rise to the peak of the Second Pillar Realm, his strength will be stronger than Jiang Cheng......
At this time, Kong Jinhua couldn't directly say that Jinghai Xu's background and convention were to leave the opportunity to Jinghai Xu's children, so he could only make up a reason that even he didn't believe in himself.
However, as long as he brought Xu Wenxin forward and finished this charge, the task would be completed. Even if someone agrees with it, there are many hints between the words that Jinghai Xu's contribution to Jinghai Base City.
Chen Shen and Tang Chong, another committee member, both frowned slightly, they didn't expect that Jiang Cheng's achievements would be put on the bright side, and there would be people who would talk nonsense with their eyes open.
The two looked at President Qin Kun at the same time.
"Vote by show of hands. President Qin Kun said with a smile, "Don't participate in the voting if you are invited to get a few C-file contacts, and other comrades ask for the voting results, and the candidates approved by more than two-thirds of the people can be reported." ”
"What if neither of them has more than two-thirds of the votes?" Tang Chong asked.
"Then report the information of the two people at the same time, and ask the regional hunting federation to decide. Qin Kun said slyly.
As soon as these words landed, Chen Shen smiled, and this was stable.
