Chapter 51: White Flag Children's Paradise
"Yes, Ms. Raisa, we've listened to you. Now that we're going to talk about that, I ask you to leave the room. ”
The words of the Grand Magician Sami El were serious and calm, not polite but also not cold. Realizing that the people of the Core Ring Conference were just stating simple facts, Raisa stood up, nodded slightly, and turned to leave.
Her words are very logical and easy to understand, and she has obviously studied the characteristics of the Core Ring Conference. One of the magicians said, "Do you agree that she is very targeted, using tactics to try and convince us?" ”
"Agreed. All the great mages said the same, but a few mages also said at the same time: "All people with a certain level of intelligence on the fortress planet will study the core magic ring meeting, and this kind of targeting is a common situation and a normal situation." We should focus more on the facts, and let the way we express the facts go beyond the facts themselves. ”
Unanimously, Grand Magician Samiel said as the moderator of the meeting, "It has been agreed at the previous meeting to start the lockdown and ask the Ring Alliance to intervene to help thoroughly investigate this serious injury, destruction, and provocation. At the same time, many great magicians also expressed regret that they may suffer losses after closing the foreign trade channel. Now that a solution is in front of us, we need to discuss whether it is feasible and what are the pros and cons. ”
The Great Mages began to exchange opinions, especially those who studied the will of the world and the power of the Origin spoke the most, and it was more important. "The White Flag Grocery Store has a channel of Origin Power that can reconcile the rules of the world, ensuring that all incoming goods comply with and do not harm our world. On the one hand, those items that are particularly dangerous and have the potential to harm the foundations of the world will be directly blocked. On the other hand, all items are fine-tuned to appear in a way that we can understand, so they can be examined with magic to further reduce the danger. ”
The magicians eventually theoretically confirmed that the channel of the White Flag Grocery Store was the safest channel available, and that there was no possibility that someone could deceive both the Earth's Origin Force and the Will of the Fortress Star World to transport dangerous goods. If there is such a channel, the Fortress Star can continue to host the Multiverse Magic Competition, continue to maintain the trade of goods and the exchange of knowledge. This was important because the magicians judged that the chain of explosions was most likely an attempt to sabotage the magic contest.
"So, the remaining question is how we should do this, how we should deal with the White Flag grocery store. ”
At this point, a mage motioned for himself to speak: "All we need is a business organization from the Origin World, and the white flag is not the only option. According to records, during the Shaxing period, the White Flag was in business here, but then suddenly disappeared. Now it is true that it is reopened, but we do not know the situation of its business capacity and credit, and it is extremely risky to cooperate with it. ”
"I have something to say about that. Red Wende stepped forward: "This morning, my daughter has dealt with the White Flag grocery store and demanded that the current White Flag fulfill the debt left by the previous generation of store managers - the White Flag has been paid. From this point of view, the argument that White Flag Credit is extremely risky is not based on facts and should not be adopted. As for their business capabilities, I recognize their products and have decided to purchase a portion of the goods from the White Flag grocery store for my daughter's use. She's about to participate in this magic contest. ”
"I'm looking forward to her performance. "Being able to learn more through the Magic Contest is a very important goal for us, and it costs a lot to cut off contact completely, so it's good for everyone to have a safe channel." We must strictly control and maintain the security of the channel to ensure its credibility and business capacity. There is currently no evidence to eliminate White Flag grocery stores for these reasons. We'll certainly be looking for other safe cross-world brokers, but this is a far lower priority than finding out who and for what reason is doing the sabotage. ”
"Agreed. "Seconded. "Yes. "Top. ”
Raisa left the conference room but didn't go far, standing in the hallway outside the giant gate and staring out the window at the city. Everything is good in this city, except that a few puffs of black smoke rising in the distance are a little dazzling. However, under one of the puffs of black smoke is supposed to be where the grocery store is located, but which one is it?
Raisa thought to herself, Qian Jing must be busy in the store by now. Only he can come up with such an idea by building a children's playground with a child, and then leaving the purchasing power of the adults behind. He seemed to be not afraid of heaven and earth, and suddenly broke into the world of the White Flag grocery store, jumping from the earth into a colorful and complex kaleidoscopic multiverse, and he actually did not have a mental disorder. Raisa still remembers when she first saw all this, because of the double torture of excitement and nervousness, dizziness and vomiting, and it took several days to slowly recover, and it was a while before she was able to go to work normally. As for him, he is always able to quickly regulate his emotions and then start to work. In this regard, Qian Jing is really suitable for the employees of the White Flag grocery store.
I'm not a proper manager for a White Flag grocery store, Raisa thought. If it weren't for Feng Lingzhu's idea, or if Qian Jing persuaded her to go to Feng Lingzhu to think of an idea, what would the White Flag grocery store encounter? All the cross-world stores were closed because of the blockade, and the White Flag grocery store couldn't do anything to buy and sell, so it was useless to run out of time and opportunities, and it would be difficult to turn over? Although she earned two gold coins of fate through the channels of the relevant departments, this was far from enough to change the fate of the white flag. She needs more money to make up for the White Flag's debts, get the store on track, and even go one step further to develop a hundred chain branches, so that she can completely win the VAM agreement and truly master the White Flag grocery store.
But that still didn't give her the answers she wanted. How did my mother die, how did all my relatives die, why was she the only one in the She family, and what was my father going to investigate before his death?
"It's great that you're still here, Ms. Raisa. "The core ring meeting is over, and the door is open. Most of the mages walked out and left with teleportation spells, while only three walked on their feet. "I'm Red Wende, the local archmage and one of White Flag's clients. ”
"Nice to meet you, Mr. Archmage. Raisa hurriedly saluted and said. She noticed the mages' faces, and the expressions returned to them. Since emotions are no longer suppressed, then there must be no rudeness. "White Flag Grocery has been, is, and will continue to be dedicated to service. ”
"Yes, that's right. The Magic Ring meeting has made a decision that White Flag Grocery will be the only channel for the time being during the investigation period. We'll send four well-behaved and highly accomplished mages to White Flag to inspect everything that enters and leaves the Stronghold Star World. It's not for the White Flag grocery store, it's just a border control method for Stronghold Stars, and I hope you won't mind. ”
"Not at all, I'm sure we can have a great time together. ”
"Oh, by the way, that deal of yours, Grand Magician Sammy El has agreed, here are two Destiny Coins. Red smiled and said, "You are a very smart woman, and in this way remind us that for external attacks and provocations, we need outside insights and knowledge to deal with them." Moreover, after we announce the closure of the border, if we don't open a channel for the white flag, this commodity called Wisdom of the Other World can't be traded, right?"
Raisa shook her head, "I'm not smart, Mr. Archmage. ”
Sometimes it's wise to answer the wrong question. Red handed over two gold coins of destiny to Raisa, and obtained from her the information and conclusions of Feng Lingzhu and Zhuang Xian about explosives, a thin piece of paper. He watched Raisha leave, glanced at the contents of the paper, the scales of his eyes wrinkled, and handed it to the Lord of the Magic Tower, who had been waiting on the sidelines.
Grand Magician Samiel took it and looked at it, then tucked it into his sleeve. "Red, when is your daughter coming to the magic competition, how is she preparing, and what is she going to do?"
"She's pretty confident in the environmental control spell, and she's supposed to be part of the maze project. As for what ranking she can get, I can only bless her. Red laughs and says, "I prepared some food for her from the White Flag grocery store, exotic flavors, which would improve her mood in the labyrinth if she was unfortunate enough to be trapped inside." ”
"As long as she goes far enough, being trapped inside is almost inevitable. "You also know that the development of the fortress star has reached a bottleneck in many places, and we need more sparks of wisdom to break through the shackles. This time, no matter what kind of competition it is, there will be such a problem in it. Liusha is a good child, but her ability is limited to the fortress star, and it is still difficult to win the championship. ”
"Those setups you're doing are too hard. Red shook his head: "Forget it, it's the contestants who have more headaches anyway." ”
"Red, I'm still going to focus on the game, so I can take care of the kid Lyusha. You'll need to find out who caused the explosion as soon as possible. Remember, watch out for the aliens. ”
Of the current aliens, Raisa is almost in the best mood. It is foreseeable that when the news of the closure of the border and the white flag grocery store as the only crossing channel spreads, many cross-world business groups will come to the door to negotiate the issue of renting the channel, which will inevitably mean a good income. However, there is no need to be reminded, Raisa herself knows that the fee cannot be overcharged, or even charged as little as possible. After all, Feng Lingzhu's advice to her at the beginning was to gain a firm foothold, and then find out the market demand of the fortress star through this incident, and then try to enter the market.
The white flag is protected by the will of the world and the power of the origin, but now after all, it is only a small arm and a small leg, and it cannot wrestle with those organizations, and there is no need for it. However, unlike others, it belongs to the category that has already been in conflict. Raisa didn't care how it felt.
In the distance, Raisa saw a large crowd gathered in front of the White Flag grocery store. They rubbed shoulders one after another, but they were well organized, and they talked and laughed with each other. From inside the White Flag shop, the sound of children laughing and shouting can be heard all the time. You don't need to ask to know that Qian Jing must have realized his idea of a "children's paradise".
The idea did come to fruition, and it worked so well that sixteen ghosts didn't seem to be enough. One child is an angel, two are cute little guys, three are naughty little groups, and a hundred can be called a big killer. Qian Jing's ears were buzzing, it was that the translator was already overloaded and could not complete so many translation jobs at the same time. The intermittent Chinese and the bumpy lingua franca of the fortress star kept pouring into his ears, and Qian Jing only felt dizzy.
"You know what? You can't fly like this. A lively child tugged at the corner of Qian Jing's clothes, held a bamboo dragonfly in the other hand, and said to him very solemnly: "If you keep turning, people will be dizzy." It's too dangerous to fly like this. And you won't turn a corner yet. ”
"Yes, you're right, we have to find a way to improve. Qian Jing promised it, and on the other hand, he had to find a way to improve the current situation. In fact, except for the fact that there are too many children to manage, the rest of the situation is fine, all kinds of daily necessities shipped from the warehouse are selling well, and each one is not expensive, but the cash has turned into a stream and keeps entering the cash box of the White Flag grocery store. Toys are the most popular, and it's a good idea to buy a or two for your child. All kinds of wood products, such as tables, chairs and benches, were directly snapped up - the environment of the fortress star is mainly desert, plant products are very luxurious, and money mirrors are sold very cheaply. The rest, many of them bought for the sake of the children's playground as a support for the work of the White Flag grocery store.
There is still a lot of work in the storefront, and Qian Jing can't shadow a clone, so he must find a way to calm down first. Now that children are playing more and more crazy, they have to find a way to get them to do the same thing in an orderly manner. What could be more effective than playing a cartoon? Qian Jing anxiously stuffed his head into the woven bag, and the projector and screen he ordered were about to be delivered.
Thanks to the highly developed logistics industry, the little brother on a motorcycle came again after delivering several boxes of stinky tofu, putting down the projector, screen and laptop. These weren't ordered online at all - that was too slow - Qian Jing called the little brother directly and asked him to buy them from the nearest mall. As a temporary shopkeeper, Qian Jing can use a part of the credits to pay for the purchase.
"Electric ...... This has to be addressed. Qian Jing stroked his chest with one hand and waved his other hand in the air, quickly navigating and operating the system of the white flag. A group of onlookers winked at each other, intently learning. They thought that Qian Jing was casting some kind of spell, and they had conjured a water dispenser just now, and now what was it conjuring? They looked carefully with wide eyes, and finally found a row of black holes in the wall.
"Save a little money, the cross-world decoration is very expensive, it's all credit!" The ghost flew over, hugged the head of the money mirror, and took a small breath of yang qi. "Drink more juice to regain my strength, I'll have to rely on you to recharge, little money!"
"You burn gas, you don't use electricity at all!" Qian Jing poured a mouthful of soybean sauce No. 1, the stimulating taste was very refreshing, and it was also very nutritious, which was enough. He powered on the projector and laptop, set up the curtain, and plugged in the USB stick. Because of the language barrier, it is impossible to show any programs with lines to the children here unless someone translates them.
"Seventy percent of the blue earth is ocean...... Qian Jing's voice is not magnetic, nor is it subdued enough, but there is no problem at all in reading the content of the film to the children according to the subtitles. There is no sea in Fortress Star, and people here are especially fond of water, and a documentary about it immediately attracts everyone's attention.
"I'm coming, I'm coming, my voice is better than yours. The ghost quickly took over Qian Jing's job, and Qian Jing still had a lot of squeezing things to do at the front desk.
That's all money......
