Chapter 12 Journalists' Associations are also difficult
The contract clearly states that Xia Yingying is obliged to help Ma Le enter the Torture Primal World within ten mission cycles, and Ma Le needs to pay off the debts owed by Xia Yingying due to the default. The contract stipulates that if Xia Yingying does not complete the agreement, the system will deduct 200,000 credits from Xia Yingying to Ma Le as compensation.
Ma Le read it once, but smiled: "Change the consequences of your failure to complete the agreement to a punishment, the amount is 500,000!" â
Xia Yingying was slightly stunned: "I'm doing this for your good, in case I die, your money won't be spent in vain......"
Ma Le shook his head: "Your conditions have moved me, I don't lack money, I really want to go to torture and kill the original form, I won't give you some punishment, I'm afraid that you will be passive and slacking off...... In addition, here, I need to pay off the debt you owe because of the default, it should be changed to only help you pay off the 170,000 debt you owe now, I don't care about anything else! â
Xia Yingying smiled slightly: "I've been in the city battle system for a long time, and you, a hot-blooded man, are becoming more and more shrewd!" â
"Who's the score!" Ma Le modified the terms of the contract: "It's okay for me to suffer a little loss to honest people, you are a human being...... Besides, I'm doing this for your own good! In case you really get you to wipe your ass for the rest of your life, I have only one way to stop you from being in debt! â
Xia Yingying naturally heard the threat in these words, but she didn't care, and after confirming that there was no problem with the terms, the two signed a contract.
"Okay, Mr. Gluttony, 170,000 credits, and I hope you will be generous!" Xia Yingying stretched out her white hands and held her miracle badge. But Ma Le didn't rush to make the payment, but opened the storage space and found a ...... from it Vouchers!
"This can be worth up to 200,000 debts, use it to pay off the debt!" This is the item that Ma Le opened from the easter egg before, and I originally thought it was chicken, but I didn't expect it to come in handy today!
And the moment Xia Yingying took the voucher, Ma Le's obligations on the contract showed that it had been completed, leaving only Xia Yingying who owed him a world.
"Wow!" Xia Yingying said angrily: "I also said why did you promise so happily, you were waiting for me here!" â
"Be content, for you, that's 170,000 credits now!" Ma Le smiled: "I look forward to you helping me do your best to get the original form of torture and killing!" After speaking, he left Xia Yingying, who gritted her teeth, in place and walked towards the business district alone.
Ma Le's target this time is Guangwenlou, and he wants to check the information about the resort world and the trial mission first.
There is a lot of information about the resort world, although it is difficult to evaluate it with full scores, but hundreds of thousands of adventurers, there are always many people who have done it, Ma Le browsed and copied more than a dozen related information, most of which are about all kinds of discounts in the resort world, how to be chic and comfortable, and the actual benefits that can be obtained from it, there are not many mentioned, but many people warn that do not offend the plot forces for the sake of profit, it is easy to gain more than you lose.
First, it can be used as a resort world, the general environment must be stable and stable, and the government (harmony) government inside must be rich in funds and strong in force, in case of poking a hornet's nest, it is not easy to clean up. In other words, as long as it is not too out of line, the system will try to make it as convenient as possible for the adventurer, and reduce the possibility of state intervention to a certain extent.
For example, two groups of adventurers are engaged in a supernatural battle, and they are seen by passers-by, and these people go to the police or post pictures and videos on the Internet. If it were in the real world, these adventurers would certainly attract public attention, and the government and military would also send people to investigate. But in the mission world, the system will play a subtle role, making the official agencies much more sluggish to react to these sudden appearances, either not believing the nonsense of the informant, or holding a two-day meeting to study and study before acting, in short, by the time they do, the adventurers have already completed their mission and left.
However, the resort world is different, the system will not issue quests, will not give hints, and will hardly intervene in the world to cause any impact except for providing life supplies for adventurers, so it is easy to attract the attention of riots and caring people in the resort world. I can't leave for less than three months, and if I really get into trouble, the vacation will become a flight. If you enter a world of high-tech or masters, there may be dangers.
Second, without systematic guidance, there will be no rewards for anything you do in the vacation world, and you can't take any items away, and the only way to improve your strength is probably to work out for three months, find a famous teacher to study, or get some natural treasures to eat to improve your skills. However, these methods are really limited to the improvement of the strength of adventurers, and not everyone is like Ma Le, who can improve their strength by "eating", and the main way for most adventurers to become stronger is to strengthen the system.
Thirdly, the resort world cannot be entered by a team, everyone can only enter their own resort world, even if two people choose the same world, they will be separated and experience their own stories like parallel spaces. And those who can get full marks are basically relying on teamwork, and adventurers who are accustomed to the team rashly experience the world alone, act casually to disrupt the order, really cause trouble, and it is difficult to get out without the cooperation of teammates, and there are already more than one person who has been planted in the resort world because of this.
Therefore, for the vast majority of adventurers, the resort world is a very valuable reward to not worry about the power and enjoy relaxation.
Those who can get full marks are the best among the adventurers, and it is certainly not unreasonable for these people to come to these conclusions after continuous practice.
As for the trial missions, Ma Le found some experiences related to the trial world, that is, the first world that every adventurer experiences when they enter the system. But those who can sit here and watch the information must have already passed the trial world, so Ma Le really doesn't know what the use of this information is? Maybe someone sent it out to scam money?
Slightly disappointed, he left Guangwen Building, just took two steps, and met a young short-haired girl, the girl blinked her big smart eyes, and asked tentatively: "Didn't get the information you wanted in Guangwen Building?" â
Ma Le looked at the girl: "Information dealer? â
The girl smiled sweetly: "Sort of!" As she spoke, she rubbed her fingers: "As long as my brother has this, I will tell you if I want to know anything!" â
It's not the first time Ma Le has dealt with intelligence dealers, and those who dare to intercept customers at the gate of Guangwen Building must have two brushes, so he asked: "Do you know the information of the trial mission?" â
"Trials World?" The girl frowned.
"It's a trial mission!" Ma Le corrected: "It's not the initial world, but a special mission that will be activated after certain conditions are met!" â
The short-haired girl thought for a while, and didn't seem to find the relevant information in her head, so she took out the miracle badge and fiddled with it a few times, as if sending a message.
"Wait a minute!" The short-haired woman smiled sweetly at Ma Le, Ma Le nodded, this intelligence dealer's service attitude is quite good, and he looks good!
After a while, the badge of the short-haired girl received a message, she glanced at it, and said to Ma Le: "Sir, I don't have the information you need here, but I can take you to a place where you should be able to find it!" â
"Where?"
The short-haired girl smiled: "Journalists' Association! â
As soon as he heard the name, Ma Le's first thought was the girl who died in The Hunger Games, with big black-rimmed glasses, long double ponytails, and smart and cunning in her eyes. It's a pity that such a good girl has passed away.
"The Association of Journalists?" Ma Le smiled: "Then why am I looking for you, it's not that I don't know the number, I'll just dial over and ask if you can't!" As he spoke, he pulled out the Miracle Badge.
"You'd better not waste your efforts!" The short-haired woman said with a smile: "The information of the trial mission belongs to high-level intelligence, and if you can't find it directly by calling customer service, you need to wait for a long time, go through a lot of procedures, sign an agreement, and pay a lot of fees." Follow me, it will save you a lot of trouble! â
"Do you intelligence traffickers have anything to do with the journalists' association?" As he walked, Ma Le sounded.
The short-haired girl smiled: "It's not just a relationship, it can be said that we intelligence traffickers are expatriate employees of the Journalists' Association!" â
Ma Le was interested, and after careful inquiry, he learned that the members of the Journalists' Association, in addition to the leadership positions in management and operation, were mainly divided into three parts, namely administration, reporters, and intelligence salesmen.
As the name suggests, administration is the staff who are responsible for the day-to-day operation of the organization, accounting for only a small part of the association, and most of them are responsible for reception, registration, sorting out information, personnel transfers and other work. And the vast majority of the remaining members are journalists and intelligence salespeople.
The so-called journalists are naturally the personnel responsible for intelligence gathering, who go deep into the various mission worlds, collect some little-known information through professional means, and send it back to the association after sorting it into a database. After the classification and induction of administrative personnel, they were then distributed to the hands of major intelligence salesmen, so that they could sell them in exchange for profits, that is, intelligence dealers who peddled intelligence in the square.
To put it bluntly, it is the purchasing and sales staff of the general company. As far as she knew, there were now more than 20 reporters in the Miracle City branch alone, and there were more than 50 intelligence dealers, and the total number of administrative staff was almost 100, which was quite a large organization in Miracle City, which had a total population of only more than 8,000
However, listening to the tone of this short-haired girl's explanation, she was obviously very envious of the reporter. According to her words, the reporters were all born to their own mothers, and their intelligence traffickers were all raised by their stepmothers. Journalists can get a lot of rewards for providing a piece of valuable information, and if they want information, they must also spend a lot of money to buy it from the association, as for whether they can sell it for a price, how many people they can sell to, and how much money they can make, it depends entirely on their personal efforts, and many times they have to lose money, which is quite hard work.
However, she said that she understands this, after all, reporters need to dig intelligence in the mission world, which is very hard, and in order to collect intelligence more efficiently, some of their abilities and skills have also been strengthened in the direction of collecting information, so that they have given up their combat ability to a certain extent, which is considered a very dangerous profession. In fact, it is a bit inappropriate to say that it is procurement, and it is more accurate to say that they are R&D personnel who create ZĂ o products with their own professional skills. At least the short-haired girl said that she would give up her combat effectiveness to become a reporter, and she would not do it.
