200. Deeper secrets
The appearance of Wei Xiong completely cut off all hope for those to whom the boss of their family was attached.
This is the director of the third division of operations, and he has the power that even the president of this world is afraid of!
Walking into the ward, Wei Xiong raised his hand to say hello to General Pan.
The old man smiled bitterly, shook his head and said, "Director Wei, please forgive me for the poor hospitality of the Pan family~ I have written down today's favor." The second, third, ninth, and fifteenth, you guys come here. β
General Pan called several of his approved sons to his side one by one.
"Although this time I used fake death to force the boss to show his true face... But no matter what, he's your big brother, and he's not young anymore.
After this is over, send him to the island to spend his old age in peace... The rest of the people confiscated the rights in their hands and carried them out according to what the little brother said just now.
Second, Dad is already old, and he doesn't have the energy to manage such a big family... From today onwards, you are the head of the Pan family.
Remember, keep the family business and find a suitable successor among the younger generation! Our Pan family's descendants are prosperous, and I believe that the future will definitely get better and better! But today .... That's it. β
"Father..."
Pan Hu, the second eldest of the Pan family, wanted to say something, but seeing that his father was not in high spirits and was recovering from a serious illness, he bowed and dragged out the boss of the Pan family who fell to the ground and wailed.
He knew that the director of the third division of the operation was here in person, and there must be something important to tell the old man.
After everyone left the isolation ward, Wei Xiong glanced at Shen Yu intentionally or unintentionally.
And Liu Zhanyun and Captain Liu stood behind Wei Xiong as a matter of course. This is his big boss leader, and of course he has to stand in line when he comes.
Shen Yu knew in his heart that Director Wei should know a thing or two about Liu Zhanyun's joining the "Dark Night Card Apprentice".
He acquiesced to Team Liu's behavior and offered some help, all of which were showing kindness.
It's just that he is a small organization that has just emerged, and there are only so many people, how can He De be favored by the action three places?
Old Man Pan sat on the edge of the hospital bed with a dejected expression, and sighed: "Director Wei... Say it~ Help me get out of trouble this time... There's something I can do for it. β
General Pan is 88 years old this year, and he has never seen anything or passed through any storms.
Operation 3 sent Liu Zhanyun into his subconscious to participate in the treatment, and sent his mentor Xue Tong to assist. At this moment, the director himself personally helped the Pan family clean up this mess! Pan Woxue would never be naΓ―ve to think that the other party just wanted to help him.
Wei Xiong smiled and brought a chair to sit on, put his right leg on top of his left leg, and put his hands flat on his knees.
"Old man, then I'll be straight to the point... Action 3 needs one vote from your Pan family in the next election for some reason. β
"A ballot?"
This time, General Pan was indeed surprised.
"Why, are the three detachments of action ready to enter politics?"
Wei Xiong spread his hands and said, "Please forgive me for not being able to tell you in detail. As long as General Pan agrees, today's business will end here. β
Pan Wo is an old man, and he has been on the battlefield for a long time, how could he not hear the strong warnings and threats in Wei Xiong's words?
Yes, as long as you promise today, that's the end of it, so why don't you say yes? Isn't this the end of this?
Indeed, the Pan family can definitely be described as "making a pot of porridge" at this moment.
The old man is critically ill, the boss rebels, the sixth and seventh follow to mess around, the second has just taken over the head of the family, and the external business and the old man's army will also go through a period of power alternation, which is the most vulnerable and the easiest time to be taken advantage of.
And the old general had no doubt that if the three places of action wanted to make a move in this matter and disgust the Pan family, it would be easy to do it.
So the other party seemed to be discussing with him, but in fact, he had no choice at all, only to agree to this way.
Old Man Pan smiled resignedly and said, "Promise~~Of course promise~!" Anyway, you guys do things in three places and talk about some rules, some of them are human, not like the group of walking corpses in one place and two places, I feel disgusted when I see them! β
Hearing the old man's words, Wei Xiong's smile was even better.
"General Pan~ I have to say that we have inexplicably reached a tacit understanding on this matter~! The action is indeed like a group of walking dead in one or two places~hahaha~~"
In the process of trading between the two parties, they did not avoid Shen Yu and the wild player [Dream Thief].
The former has a more or less cooperative relationship with the three operations divisions, while the latter is a little frightened.
He tried to close his eyes and cover his ears with his hands, not wanting to hear about any insider trading involved in the operation.
But unfortunately, those voices still reached his ears.
Just as the corner of his eyes were lowered, the [Dream Thief] who was a part-time bounty hunter was thinking about how to get out, but suddenly found a person standing next to him.
He looked up inexplicably and saw a short boy who was slightly green.
The young man kept staring at him, showed a smile and said, "Don't think about it, we won't kill you." But you have to join Action Three, and I'm your direct mentor to take you into the organization and learn the rules. Hehe~ Are you ready to be enlightened? β
"What... What? β
Before the [Dream Thief] in the corner of his eyes could react, he suddenly felt a powerful suction force surging towards him! Then came the infinite darkness that engulfed it completely.
Shen Yu saw with his spare eyes that the young man who was following Wei Xiong was holding a small gourd in his hand, and directly sucked the [Dream Thief] brother into it! Is this sure it's not messing around with Journey to the West?
The episode here only happened for a moment, and the deal between Wei Xiong and General Pan was successfully completed.
The two sides took what they needed, and Captain Liu also successfully completed the transaction with the insect master.
Shen Yu could almost foresee that in a short period of time, the captain would be able to improve his sequence level.
The deal was about to be completed, and a group of people talked and laughed about family life.
With the help of his children and grandchildren, General Pan changed his clothes, and then led the guests out of the underground quarantine area and back to his living room on the ground.
The old man instructed the people in the house to take out the best tea leaves and pour one for each of the guests.
He took one himself and took a sip, his eyes closed, as if savoring the bitter and sweet mixture.
After the tea soup completely fell into his abdomen along his tongue, the old general opened his eyes with a long sigh.
"Ladies and gentlemen, today is really a joke for you, the hospitality is not good~ There is such a big thing in our Pan family, and there are still many follow-ups to fill in and correct. Another day, I will personally do the east, please get together! β
The old man has given an eviction order. But think about it, I haven't dealt with a bunch of shit behind my buttocks, how can I be in the mood to drink tea with guests here?
Shen Yu and Xiao Wei got up first to say goodbye. They refused the Pan family's jeep and instead chose to take the subway back on their own.
The director of Operation 3 also took Liu Zhanyun and several others to leave Pan's house in his own transportation.
Just as Shen Yu and Xiao Wei were leaving the Pan family's compound, they saw an unexpected acquaintance.
"That's... Little four? β
Yes, when Shen Yu left the Pan family, he saw Pan Shaojie, the fourth child in the same dormitory, in the crowd of Pan family descendants in the side courtyard.
It turned out that he was the grandson of General Pan. It's really fate.
The Pan family was in turmoil, and Shen Yu did not come forward to greet Xiao Si, but chose to leave silently.
Walking out of Pan's house, he and Xiao Wei did not immediately go to take the subway. Instead, he walked along the road step by step, seemingly without direction.
Xiao Wei didn't ask, and Shen Yu didn't say. He just walked silently with his head down, thinking about one thing in his head.
After a while, Shen Yu finally asked.
"Xiao Wei, there is one thing I have never figured out.... If you all say that the world here is just an illusion, a virtual world that the 'mother' server represents. But why do these big forces still have to dig out the hollow to enter this virtual world? Do business here and fight for power. Are they just treating this as a game? β
Yes, this is the reason why Shen Yu still has some trouble figuring it out.
If this world is so unreal, why are people from the real world rushing here?
Including the old four major consortiums in the real world, including the Church of Twilight, and of course, the Three Operations.
What are they trying to do? Have you ever played a family here? It's definitely not just about searching for cards, and if it was, there's no need to make such a big move.
The third department of action wants to arrange for its own people to enter the parliament to influence the political situation. He really couldn't figure it out.
Xiao Wei paused for a moment, and then replied: "The reason for this is complicated, and I can't explain it clearly for a while... But to put it simply, it's all about profit, but also for survival.
We're in a world of cards that doesn't look like what we see in the ordinary, and it's not really what card players see in the strict sense of the word.
It has a deeper secret... Anyway, as far as I know, the food grown in this world and the technology made in it can be used in our world.
What we call the real world... Do you know? All food is monopolized by conglomerates, and ordinary people can only eat artificial compressed biscuits and vitamin tablets. They may never have tasted barbecue or beer in their entire lives....
It's easier for you to understand when I say that, right? And this world is a virtual world, but it also has another layer of mysterious power that people can't fathom! It wasn't entirely created by the parent server alone.
It contains some mysterious power of the 'sacred tree', which is why so many forbidden cards appear in this world.
You can now learn some of the deeper secrets... For us card players, the most common cards were created by the founders of the Astounding Consortium, who drew on some mysterious power and used technological means that were ahead of their time.
These cards are well-documented and well-directed, and you can instantly tell if they belong to a scene card, a follower card, an item card, or a power-up card.
But there are exceptions. Legend has it that in addition to the 'Extraordinary Naming Cards' that can be promoted to the final sequence, there are also many extraterritorial taboo cards that the parent body cannot control.
The reason why these cards are taboo cards is because they are purely wild. β
