Chapter 31 Agents

The lord and the others had already retreated far away, leaving only Pandora and Shen Yi on the hillside.

Shen Yi took out a bottle of Great Wall Dry Red from the refrigerator in the car, took out two wine glasses, poured them, and handed one to Pandora: "Drink, you're welcome." ”

He wasn't in a hurry to ask the other party anything.

"I never drink. Pandora replied.

"Are you afraid of lifting the veil so that others can see that you are a woman?" Shen Yi asked casually.

Pandora's body froze.

She didn't know how Shen Yi could see it, but she wasn't the kind of woman who could pretend to be a man by hanging a veil casually.

Her veil is an urban prop that can block detection skills, so Shen Yi's spiritual exploration is useless to her. The veil itself can clearly simulate the form and behavior of a given target, and there will be no difference in behavior, so even if Holmes looks at her, it is impossible to find that she is a woman.

However, Shen Yi exposed her bottom with such a light and clever sentence, which shocked her a lot.

"How do you see that?" she asked.

"Because men don't do such boring things. Shen Yi replied.

There was a burst of anger in Pandora's eyes, but she still snorted coldly after all: "Shen Yi, before talking to you, I want you to understand one thing first. In the world of Pirates of the Caribbean Mission, I didn't go all out against you. I can tell you very clearly that my strength is by no means worse than either Di Yu or Arnold. If I had done my best......"

Shen Yi interrupted her: "You will still lose, at most I will work harder." ”

Pandora was a little helpless: "Well, even so, there is no unsolvable hatred between me and you, and I have never been cruel to your people from beginning to end." Including later, I didn't kill your airborne soldier on purpose, otherwise you thought it would be so coincidental to just scratch his jetpack?"

"Yes I guessed, the question is why do you do this?"

Finally hearing Shen Yi ask why, Pandora breathed a sigh of relief: "In order not to completely fall out with you, I mean for everyone to be able to sit together today and discuss the possibility of becoming their own people." ”

"Your own people?" Hearing this word, Shen Yi laughed: "With whom?"

"Big guy, to be exact, a high-level adventurer from the four-difficulty region. ”

Shen Yi let out a long breath.

Is that really the case?

When he heard the word big guy from Dabinit's mouth, the first thing that came to his mind was who else could call himself so in Bloody City.

The answer is not hard to find.

What he didn't understand was why the adventurers in the four difficulty areas were looking at the normal area, and what were they trying to do?

After thinking about it, Shen Yi raised the wine glass in his hand: "Tell me." ”

Pandora then raised her head and said, "Have you ever heard of the proxy system?"

Shen Yi shook his head.

Pandora said: "The so-called agent system is actually a kind of support system made by some relatively strong and difficult adventurers. Its main purpose is to target adventurers from low-level areas, and to train powerful adventurers by giving them some reinforcement and information assistance. In the future, after they enter the difficult area, they can join the side of support. ”

Shen Yi scoffed: ", I warn you, Pandora, you don't talk nonsense to me." I'm currently the captain of Team Breaker, and I still have a few vacancies on my team. If I were to recruit members, I would only recruit from the normal districts, not from the slums, like idiots. Who knows if they will survive the mission world of the slums? Even if they do, who can guarantee that they will listen to me in the future? The bloody city lacks everything, but there is no shortage of white-eyed wolves. Why should I spend a lot of money and capital to train any adventurers? Isn't it more meaningful for me to train my summoned soldiers than adventurers? Your boss won't be so idiotic and want to find a substitute from the ordinary area, right?"

Pandora covered her mouth and smiled: "I know I can't fool you, but it doesn't matter, there must be a better way to say, saying and doing, after all, are different." ”

She was exposed to her identity as a woman by Shen Yi, and even her voice became delicate at this moment.

Shen Yi was unmoved: "Then what's going on with this agent system? Why do adventurers with four difficulties pay attention here?"

Pandora then replied: "Then I will tell you straight to the point, there are three purposes." 1. Collect information about adventurers in low-difficulty areas. In the world of difficult missions, the trouble that the mission itself can bring to adventurers is limited, and the real danger is people. The bigwigs plan ahead and prepare first, and anyone who may pose a threat to them must pay attention. ”

"It's a reason, go ahead. ”

"Two: Deal with some things that are inconvenient for the bigwigs. For example, adventurers in low-difficulty areas often run to high-level areas, and they pestered the bigwigs in the trading place, begging them to sell their equipment at a low price to themselves, or even give it to themselves. ”

Shen Yi almost didn't squirt out a sip of wine, he glared at Pandora: "There is still such a thing?"

"It's not unusual, if there can be beggars in reality, why can't there be a bloody city? In order to be strong and survive, some shameless people do not want dignity, and even kneel on the ground to beg for money. Remember what Arnold said? It's normal to kill people for a piece of equipment in online games, let alone the world now. Don't let them pester people, even if they recognize their father, it's no problem. ”

"I guess the big guys must be annoyed. Shen Yi touched his chin, and he suddenly remembered that not long ago, he seemed to be trying to get Zisha to give him the equipment...... Well, at least I didn't kneel and beg for scolding or anything.

Thinking about it this way, he somewhat understood the mentality of those low-level adventurers.

"Yes, but you can't use any force in the bloody city. Those adventurers who can't get food will often scold and curse each other, and their words will be rude and unpleasant......"

"Understood, the bigwigs can't do anything about them, but someone can deal with them. ”

"That's right, it's the agent. They can help the bigwigs get rid of the garbage, and at the same time establish the majesty of the bigwigs. ”

"What else?"

"The third and most important point has to do with the wilderness fields. The Wilderness Plains was originally a single unit, but was later divided into sixteen districts. Each of these sixteen regions has a different beast, and the rewards for killing them are also different. This means that some things can only be obtained in certain areas. If you miss an opportunity, you may never get it again......"

Shen Yi was stunned and looked at Pandora: "You mean ......?"

"Yes, even in low-difficulty areas, there are still some things that the big guys want. But they couldn't get it when they were ordinary adventurers, and when one day they became the powerhouses of the Bloody City, they found that it was no longer possible for them to turn around and get those things...... Adventurers in the high zone will not get any rewards for entering the lower zone and killing the beast. ”

So they came up with this proxy system. By cultivating agents in low-level areas, you can handle some things for yourself that you can't handle and get something you can't get on your own...... Xie Rongjun is one of their agents?"

"That's right. Pandora readily admitted: "I am the observer responsible for connecting the boss and the agent, and I am mainly responsible for supervising the situation when the agent carries out the boss's task." If something goes wrong with the agent, I'm also responsible for finding a new one. ”

"Why do you want to arrange observers?"

"On the one hand, it's to make sure that the bigwigs' funding can be used where it works, and not be used indiscriminately by the agents. On the other hand, it is also to supervise the execution of the agent's tasks. The third is to convey information in a timely manner. Finally, in the event of an accident, a third party is required to record the occurrence and process of all things, so as to avoid such accidents as much as possible in the future. ”

"So that's the case, so you joined Xie Rongjun's team, but you didn't give your best in the battle, because you weren't really his subordinate. ”

"This is only one aspect, the most important reason is that the observer is the central hub responsible for the connection between the agent and the bigwig. Agents can change from time to time, observers don't. As observers, our first rule is to never get involved in the enmity between the adventurer and the adventurer, unless it is someone the boss has designated to be killed. Only by maintaining a neutral posture can we immediately find new and alternative targets even if we lose an agent. ”

"Like me...... Since you didn't go all out in the Caribbean battle, you kind of friendship with each other. When you come back to me, at least you can be sure that I won't kill you as soon as we meet. ”

"That's right......" Pandora replied with some annoyance, rubbing her lower abdomen, "but you did it anyway." ”

Shen Yi said coldly: "The jetpack I lost cost me two thousand points to buy back, and the cost of charging you for one foot is already very cheap." ”

Pandora laughed: "You have gained so much in the Caribbean world, how can you still pay so much about two thousand points." If you agree to be an agent of the bigwigs, you will get far more than 2,000 points. ”

"Really?"

"Of course, where do you think Xie Rongjun's Staff of Nature came from? Without the help of the big guys, where did he get this kind of thing, and it wasn't because the big guys gave him information and helped him to get it. Including Team Wind, Nether Wolves, and a few strong teams in the ordinary area that have not received funding from the bosses. They help the big guy do things, and the big guy gives them some ......"

"Some leftovers. Shen Yi interrupted Pandora's speech: "Some of the benefits that slipped out of their fingers were brought down to show off their might." These guys are proud of their qualifications and use a little small profit in exchange for a bunch of dog minions to work for them, right?"

Despite being covered by the veil, Pandora's violently heaving chest betrayed her anger at the moment. She took a few long breaths: "Shen Yi, don't be so ignorant. I'm giving you a gift! This is an opportunity that no one wants to have!"

"Gift?opportunity?" Shen Yi raised his eyebrows and sneered.

He suddenly stopped talking, turned on the stereo casually, and a song of the blue Danube sounded leisurely.

The sound of music is like flowing water, with a refreshing nourishment, bringing a touch of softness and harmony to this desolate and slaughtered wilderness.

Shen Yi's fingers beat with the pulse of the music, and his face showed an intoxicated expression.

After a long time, he said, "Pandora, the first woman on the earth made of clay by Hephaestus, the god of fire in Greek mythology, opened the magic box and unleashed disasters, calamities, and pestilences, plunging the human world into difficulties and chaos. Pan, in ancient Greek, means everything, and Dora means gift. The so-called Pandora is the giver of all. It is the gift of God to man. God has brought disaster to the world, and this is His gift to the world...... Your name is Pandora, I think it was after you became an observer, right? a nice name to call the big guys gods, and glorify your duties as gifts and opportunities. Is that so?"

Pandora's body froze.

Shen Yi's eyes became more and more cold when he looked at Pandora: "You are a woman who will bring bad luck to others, and you are used to stirring the string of desire in other people's hearts. By satisfying people's psychology of not getting something for nothing, the goal of turning people into slaves can be achieved...... I can totally imagine what awaits me if I become the agent of the big guy in your mouth. ”

Shen Yi bent down, faced Pandora directly, and said, "First of all, I took benefits from them, and the price was that I had to accept the supervision of someone who was not part of my team, and I lost my privacy as a result. Secondly, I had to do what they told me to do, to kill the people they wanted me to kill, to carry out the tasks they asked me to do, and so I lost my freedom. And then I lost my dignity, because as a sponsor, I have to be respectful of my bigwigs, and if I want to get any benefit from them, I have to bow down to them, including you. In this world, I worked hard, but in the end I only wanted to change the qualification to be a slave, and then I could be abandoned anytime and anywhere, do you think I am so stupid?"

Pandora looked at Shen Yi dumbfounded: "No...... You can't understand it that way...... This is...... It's a win-win deal. As long as you do well, the bigwigs can give you a lot of help that you don't usually get at all. This help can make you strong quickly, become a strong person in the ordinary area or even the apartment area, and go all the way. You can live forever!"

"Without them, I would still be alive, and I am living a decent life. ”

"But......" Pandora suddenly realized that she didn't know what to say.

The agent system is a system carefully introduced by adventurers in the four difficulty areas to use each other with low-level adventurers, and in this way build a huge network of strength.

If the space managers represent the government organizations of the bloody city, then the bigwigs who have single-handedly established the agency system are the largest non-governmental organizations in the city. Although they cannot stand up to the "government", they at least have absolute power among the people.

I don't know how many adventurers are eager to be the agents of the big guys, just as there are many small businesses that are eager to be acquired by big companies.

Over time, Pandora has developed a mindset that makes her think that any adventurer she approaches will be happy to be the agent of the bigwigs, taking their salary and serving them.

To this day, Shen Yi's ruthless sarcastic words punctured Pandora's fantasy balloon, making her finally realize that she had nothing to be proud of.

The so-called large enterprises, in the face of the real strength and self-confidence of small enterprises, are just the goods that will be overturned sooner or later, and such small enterprises will either offer sky-high prices for their investment in large business owners, or they will not sell their shares at all.

And Shen Yi is obviously such a small business owner - small in scale, ambitious.

Looking at Pandora at this moment, a glimmer of sympathy suddenly flashed in Shen Yi's eyes.

Although the agent is the dog of the bigwigs, why not the observer? Compared with Xie Rongjun, Pandora is only afraid that it is more pitiful, but she herself does not feel it.

Pandora's tone grew colder: "So, are you going to refuse my kindness?"

"Yes. ”

"I hope you won't regret it, knowing that by doing so, you're already offending them. ”

If the temptation fails, the threat will be made, and the way of lobbying since ancient times is the same.

Shen Yi smiled: "Oh, yes, then their strength is really small enough." ”

"Don't forget that you defeated their agent, Xie Rongjun is a good agent that I finally found, but now my plan has failed because of you, and it is only natural for them to trouble you!"

"So what are they going to do? Find another agent to kill me? Or just rush to me in the wilderness? Or ...... Why don't you wait until I'm on the fourth difficulty?"

Pandora's eyes became more and more angry: "Shen Yi, I don't understand why you are so stubborn. It's good for you to be a surrogate, so why can't you think about it anymore?"

"I don't understand why you still don't give up when all the words are said for this part. Is it because you have a big operation right now that you are desperately short of people, so you urgently need my help?"

Pandora was shocked and blurted out, "How do you know?"

As soon as she said this, she immediately knew that it was not good, and Shen Yi already showed a smug smile on her face.

He shook his wine glass: "Look, you have to be open and honest when you speak, so you can talk." ”

He leaned into Pandora's ear and whispered, "I'll give you advice, I'm not interested in being your big guy's bullshit agent at all." But if your bigwigs are willing to talk to me on the basis of fairness, reciprocity, and cooperation, then I don't mind doing something for them. Of course, the conditions have to be set by me. I mean...... Let's put it another way, it's called the delegated cooperative system, what do you think?"

PS: Well, let me say it again, I have a bad habit of never reading the text messages on the site, or only once in a few months. So the friends who sent me text messages on the site are basically disappointed, because by the time I see your text messages, it's already the Year of the Monkey. So if there is anything in the future, let's just say it in the book review.
