Chapter 53: Trap

In the offices of Newman Associates.

Hong yang was making calculations non-stop with the computer.

"Assuming five difficulty levels are divided into one level S, four levels of difficulty are divided into one level A, three levels of difficulty are B level, and so on, then the average level of the five difficulty areas is divided into..."

Hong yang does arithmetic, which is a very rare phenomenon.

The fat man looked at Hong 1ang with wide eyes: "Brother 1ang, what are you doing?"

Hong 1ang replied without raising his head: "We are counting how many blood points an adventurer can get by being a marshal under normal circumstances, and how far we are from our goal."

Then he picked up the computer and said loudly while calculating: "Average the standard scores of the five difficulty areas, and average the standard scores of the task world, which is an ordinary performance. Calculate with the excellent performance of each task, and the points will be doubled. Considering six missions in each difficulty area, the adventurers can gain a total of 1.76 million blood points excluding equipment rewards from the slums to become a marshal. Six people, a total of about 10 million blood points."

King Kong didn't lift his head: "It sounds pretty good."

"Not bad?" Hong yang's eyes almost popped out: "this is all we can get from fighting to the Tongtian Tower. That is to say, from now on, we can't complete five thousand without eating, drinking or strengthening." Ten thousand tasks. If we still want to maintain stronger reinforcement than others, then this number has to be added by another ten million, which is sixty million.”

Hong Yang started typing on the computer again, and finally shouted: "So from now on, we still need to earn at least 60 million! 60 million!"

Hong 1ang roared loudly: "Do you know what that means? It means that we have to earn at least seven million for each mission! The boss is simply crazy, this mission is simply impossible!"

Wen Rou came out of the kitchen with a fruit plate, and while poking a pear slice with a toothpick, he said: "He has always been a lunatic, and you just know him. Also, the impossible task... these words Why does it sound so familiar?"

Gentle tilted her head, as if she was thinking about when she heard this sentence.

Hong yang stared at Ruan, he saw that this is not a fruit in the home world, but Wen Wen brought in from the bloody city, and asked: "How much did you pay for that thing?"

Wen Rou said strangely: "One blood point can be exchanged for a big basket."

Hong 1ang gritted his teeth: "You should save up, we don't have money to enjoy."

"..."

Collective silence.

Zhou Yiyu snickered: "I've never seen him like this before."

The fat man sighed: "Brother 1ang is really in a hurry."

King Kong was thoughtful: "This is the charm of money! This thing can turn a lady into a whore, and a reckless man into an accountant..."

Hong Yang became anxious: "It's pressure! It's pressure, not the charm of money! Boss really came up with a good plan, I'm so worried."

Everyone laughed together.

Shen Yi came in from the outside just in time to hear this laughter, and asked strangely, "What are you laughing at?"

Rourou talked about Hong 1ang's settlement just now, and Shen Yi couldn't help laughing when he heard that Hong 1ang even wanted to deprive Wenrou of the right to eat fruit.

He walked over and sat down beside Hong 1ang: "Hong 1ang, account is not your kind of calculation.

"

"Then how should it be calculated?"

"We may not all have to pay for this money."

Hong Yang was taken aback: "You mean..."

Shen Yi patted Hong 1ang on the shoulder: "My meaning is very simple, that is, to win this war at all costs. Two million blood points can make a marshal, but 20 marshals are not as good as a space battleship After all, this world is not the world of gods. Even the most powerful adventurer can smash a mountain with one punch at most, but it is impossible to blow up a planet with one punch... But powerful particle laser cannons and space orbital guns can Let a planet be destroyed! So the grand cosmic plan must be implemented. We can’t do this alone, but if necessary, I will invite some trustworthy friends to join this plan. Anyway, so many warships can’t be done by us alone Drive yourself, don't you?"

It turned out to be like this, only then did Hong Yang understand Shen Yi's plan.

King Kong asked, "When?"

Regarding Shen Yi's idea, he didn't find it strange at all, this was also the only suitable solution.

Shen Yi replied: "When we really have the production capacity. No one in this world will give us help in a timely manner, and the blood point we need is not just a little bit or two. Only when we truly demonstrate the powerful ability of a super base, others will believe us .At that point, at least in terms of production costs, we can significantly reduce expenditures."

Gently chirped: "If that's the case, then we only need the bloody point of the upfront investment. Is it?"

"Yeah, of course the premise is that the sooner it works the better, and then it gives someone enough time to raise money. So we don't have a lot of time."

Zhou Yiyu sighed: "This blood point is not easy to earn. If it can be established so easily, someone has already done it in a hundred years. Why wait for us? Even if we can get so many blood points, where did they come from?" Points to strengthen yourself?"

Shen Yi smiled: "Is it really difficult? Maybe I should remind you of one thing: the ultimate purpose of the base's existence is to build a fleet that can defeat the Zerg, but who said it can't do other things during this period? Have you forgotten our plan when we got the Skynet chip?"

Wen Rou stayed for a while: "Terminator Legion? You mean..."

"That's right, the Terminator Legion! That will be the most important solution for us to expand our base and strengthen our own strength."

Shen Yi looked at everyone and stood up slowly:

"Lan Yan said, I'm more like a businessman than a warrior...he's right!"

"In my opinion, the reason why the bloody city has not been able to win this war is because they lack merchants!"

"There won't be any way in the world to make money faster than doing business, not working, not robbing, not working hard! There won't even be a billionaire in the world who is not a businessman. So what we have to do is through large-scale Produce Terminator fighters, sell them to other adventurers, and get the points we need... It's like starting a company."

"For wage earners, 500,000 yuan is a dream. For enterprises, 50 million yuan is nothing."

"so!"

"Investment in the base is a necessary capital investment for mass production and construction. Unlike ordinary companies, the threshold for opening a company in the bloody city is very high, and not everyone can do it. But as long as it can be done, the fleet plan It's not a dream."

"That's my whole plan...it's either big, or far away, but never too far away."

"Of course, there are always difficulties. I don't know when the Terminator we plan will be officially produced. Even if it is produced, will it be sold? Even if it can be sold, how much can we earn? If the income is not enough, we How much do we need to subsidize? Is there enough time for us to complete the comprehensive construction of the base? Can the fleet be built? Even if it is built, can it defeat the Zerg enemy I imagined? Although I have planned everything, but Once every link goes wrong, the consequences will be devastating. But we must do it, because if you don't plan for the future...you will never have a future!"

"So, in the days to come, we must work harder to fight, use our tears, blood, sweat and even life, and also use our minds to accomplish all of this!"

"Do what others can't do, this is what we often do!"

—————————————

With Shen Yi's enlightenment, at least Hong Yang no longer feels that the Great Universe Project is so far away and unrealistic. Speaking of which, he actually has an almost blind trust and admiration for Shen Yi, so much so that he will listen to whatever Shen Yi says.

Don't look at his heartbroken look when he settled the accounts, it just shows that he is really trying to do what Shen Yi planned - even though the method is very stupid.

In the following time, Shen Yi and the others took the time to repair the Black Lightning and the Reaper, and then seized the time to train themselves. Since we already know that only those who have truly mastered the proficient skills can be brought into the bloody city, so the direction of everyone's training has also changed [Dzi Bead Change], in addition to strengthening the cooperation under the new situation, more is used to figure out and study those skills.

Ten days later, the Broken Blade team returned to the city.

Shen Yi went to the research institute first, received the reward of 7,000 points, repaired his flying claws by the way, and was officially promoted to D-level. In this way, the distance of his flying claws was as long as 200 meters, and the chain was stronger, so it was no longer so easy to damage.

When he returned to his residence, he found that Pandora was waiting for him.

"I thought you wouldn't dare to see me again." Shen Yi was surprised.

"Why don't you dare." Pandora sneered: "I know who you are, you are the kind of guy who doesn't care about anything as long as it is beneficial. Didn't you just deal with your two worthless players? Didn't hurt them."

"That's right." Shen Yi opened the door and tilted his head: "Come in."

Entering the room, Shen Yi took off his coat casually, and then sat down on the sofa. Pandora was about to sit down, but Shen Yi said coldly: "I didn't ask you to sit down."

Pandora froze, stood in front of Shen Yi after froze for a moment: "If you like talking like this, I have no objection."

"We have nothing to talk about. Do you want the Eye of Hades? Yes, 800,000 blood points."

Pandora's eyeballs almost protruded: "Eight hundred thousand? Are you kidding me?"

"As you said, I'm a guy who doesn't care about anything as long as there are benefits. But the problem is, the benefits must be big enough to tempt me."

Shen Yi leaned lazily on the sofa, raised his legs: "So, eight hundred thousand, this is a reasonable price."

Pandora sneered: "I don't see where it makes sense."

"An item that can triple your own attributes, greatly enhance your strength on the battlefield outside the territory, and increase your chances of life-saving, even if it is a million dollars, it is not too expensive. Considering that you are attacking my team members, your discount is no longer possible. Yes, isn't it reasonable for me to charge 800,000?"

"Extraterritorial battlefield?" Pandora frowned: "Where is that place?"

"It seems that your master didn't tell you more things. Since this is the case, I don't want to say anything more. Go back and ask him before you come to me."

"No, I'm already here."

At this moment, a loud voice suddenly came from outside the door.

It was the evil emperor Wei Xu.

Striding into Shen Yi's room, the evil emperor said with a chuckle: "Young people are courageous, even asking the price so aggressively. I admit that you are right, the Eye of Hades is indeed worth one million. But the premise is , it must be a complete set. Now you only have one left eye, and you can’t use it at all, so the price is very unreasonable.”

As he spoke, he sat down in front of Shen Yi: "I know that Pandora did something wrong, but don't blame her, she just wants to help me. In this world, if you don't be ruthless, how can you be worthy of yourself? How can you live comfortably ?I apologize to you on behalf of her. The discount you mentioned can be cancelled. As for the left eye of Hades, since it is only one-third of it, it will not work until all are collected, so the real price can only be 200,000 yuan at most. I say that, is it fair?"

Shen Yi smiled: "But if someone has already collected the other two pieces and only this one is missing, then it is not two hundred thousand, but worth at least six hundred thousand."

The evil emperor laughed loudly: "That's right, I can admit that I have the right eye of Pluto in my hand, but unfortunately, I haven't got the soul of Pluto yet. So you can't offer this price for your left eye." gone."

"Do you have the birth point of Pluto's soul?"

"Yes, but the time has not come, and no one can take it out now. If you want to make up its mind, just wait until you enter the third difficulty, and I will ask you for help."

Shen Yi smiled, what the evil emperor said was typical nonsense.

Even if the soul of Pluto is unearthed in the future, the evil emperor will never ask himself to do it again. Otherwise, if Shen Yi really wants to get the third Pluto soul, he will definitely blackmail the evil emperor severely. The best way is to find another group of uninformed adventurers to participate in this matter.

However, the evil emperor would never have imagined that in order to lower the price, he revealed that he did not collect all three Pluto props, and instead gave Shen Yi a reassurance—this scrapped Pluto eye can be shot.

At least during the period when the soul of Hades was unearthed, unless the colonel told him, the evil emperor would never discover the problem with Hades' left eye.

However, based on their relationship, the Colonel would only be happy to see the Evil Emperor suffer this sullen loss, and then go to 1ang to waste time, energy and money to find the useless Pluto's soul.

remind? It is already very righteous for him not to add insult to injury.

The only question is, is it true that the Evil Emperor said that there is no Pluto soul? If he lied to himself that he already had these two items in his hand, then as soon as Pluto got the left eye, he would immediately discover it.

Then there will be big trouble.

On this issue, Shen Yi also had no choice.

He needs bloody points too much, and some things can only be gambled.

So he nodded: "Okay then, the price is 200,000, with a 20% discount, you pay 160,000."

"Okay!" The evil emperor was also refreshed, and took out a few scrolls: "I have five A-level appraisal scrolls here. Since you have included the derivative value of the Eye of Hades, I'm sorry, I can only press The market price is calculated with you. One A-level appraisal scroll is equivalent to five C-level appraisal scrolls, the price is 32,000 points each, and I will give you five, is there any problem?"

"The price is 20,000 points, and I want eight."

"Don't even think about it, an A-level scroll can bring out an A-level weapon, 32,000 is already very cheap! You must know that the A-level weapon itself is worth 45,000 points."

"The premise is to get this weapon first. And you can't equate the A-level appraisal scroll with the A-level weapon. There is no extra profit. What's the point of the appraisal scroll?"

"I'll give you six at most."

"Seven, that's the bottom line."

"...Okay, just seven, you're being cruel!"

Both sides had their own calculations, after the exchange, the Pluto's left eye fell into the hands of the Evil Emperor.

As soon as the evil emperor got the left eye, he immediately laughed proudly: "I finally got it. With this Pluto eye, who am I afraid of? Even if the general comes over, I don't pay attention to it!"

Shen Yi said coldly: "You don't want to tell me, actually you already have the soul of Hades?"

"Of course not, it's just that the soul of Pluto is not in the three-difficulty area, but in the four-difficulty area." The evil emperor laughed and said: "Pluto has three pieces, the left eye is in the second difficulty, the right eye is in the third difficulty, and the soul is in the fourth difficulty." Difficulty. I got the right eye myself, and it took me a lot of effort to find out its function. As for the soul of Pluto, it will be unearthed in three months, and I will get it myself at that time, so I won’t bother you Helped."

Shen Yi muttered: "So it's like this... No wonder it's so refreshing."

The way the evil emperor looked at Shen Yi at this time had already changed.

He suddenly said coldly: "Boy, you took a lot of advantage in this exchange. Now I hope you can take out the seven scrolls I gave you just now, as well as the keys in the box and the map. If you will be obedient, I will give you some benefits. Otherwise..."

"Is this a threat?" Shen Yi looked at the other party coldly.

Having obtained the Eye of Hades, there is no need to worry about the future. At this time, Wei Xu has no worries at all. He no longer needs to be afraid of falling out with Shen Yi, it is naturally best to force him to vomit the benefits he paid. If you can't push it out, you won't lose anything. Anyway, for an adventurer like Shen Yi who refuses to obey and is only willing to cooperate, even if he is killed, the evil emperor will not feel the slightest bit of distress.

In contrast, he is more willing to choose the former Xie Rongjun as his agent.

"So what?" He asked proudly.

"That's such a pity, I'm a person who eats anything but threats. Now that Yi is over, you two are no longer welcome here, please leave."

"You..." Even though he knew that Shen Yi might not accept his actions, the evil emperor was still furious when he saw Shen Yi completely ignoring him.

After all, he is a master of difficulty level four. How many adventurers in front of him have asked him to give some charity, wanting to be his younger brother and follower, but this bastard in front of him dared to ask him for a lot of money, and now he even drove him away!

It's just that the owner of this house is Shen Yi, who is under the protection of the city, and he told you to leave, even if you are a general, it's useless.

Hearing the sound of seeing off the guests, the defense system in this room was activated automatically, instantly ejecting the evil emperor and Pandora from the building.

"Bastard!" The evil emperor roared wildly outside: "You wait, don't let me see you in the wilderness, or I will let you know what regret is!"

What he said didn't have the slightest air of a big brother, but he was quite a bit of a rogue. In fact, the evil emperor was originally a street gangster, and the bloody city gave him great strength, but it didn't give him any good training. Otherwise, he would be so arrogant that he would call himself the Evil Emperor.

This nickname is actually very flat.

Sitting on the sofa, Shen Yi muttered softly: "If you are so angry about this matter, don't you go crazy when you know that your left eye is useless?"

Although the evil emperor thought highly of himself, Shen Yi never took him seriously.

For him, he has too many things to care about, no matter which one is more important than the evil emperor.

Like Underworld.

There are still three days until the deadline, and the quest world of Underworld has not yet appeared.

Considering that he once crushed the inner alchemy of the giant beast in front of Lan Yan and the others, Shen Yi wondered if someone would take private revenge and deliberately prevent the mission world he wanted from appearing. After all, this is the authority of the space manager scope.

Although those space managers at that time expressed their understanding of his anger and forgiven his behavior, there are many people in this world who hide their swords behind their faces.

Alas, it's not a good thing to offend the space manager anyway.

But Shen Yi has already seen it through, the world is inherently dangerous, people in dangerous places, either trembling and walking on thin ice, or going forward bravely without hesitation.

Since Shen Yi chose the latter, he is naturally prepared to bear everything for it.

———————

Early the next morning, Fatty went to see the mission as usual, but was disappointed to find that it was not Underworld.

Everyone was sighing when suddenly the doorbell rang.

When he opened the door, he saw that it was the staff officer, who was standing at the door and looking at Shen Yi with great interest.

"Brother Shen, I heard that you are going to the mission world of Underworld?"

"Yes, what's the matter?"

"A friend told me just now that today's task in the West End is Underworld."

"West District?" Everyone stood up at the same time: "You mean to say that today's task in the West District is Underworld?"

"En!" The staff officer nodded seriously: "If you go over now, there is still time!"

"Great!" Everyone yelled, rushing out the door one after another.

Just before leaving, Shen Yi's heart suddenly moved.

He asked the staff officer: "By the way, who told you that the West End is underworld today? Also, why did he suddenly tell you this?"

"His name is Drizzt, an adventurer I met when I was in the West District, and everyone called him a top hat man, because he always likes to wear a top hat. Today he suddenly came to chat with me, saying that he came to see me. Just in He suddenly received a mission prompt just now, asking him to go back to participate in the mission, saying that it was Legend of the Underworld. He said it and left."

There was a gleam in Shen Yi's eyes: "You said that the bloody emblem personally notified him of the mission?"

"yes. "

"Only the missions that must be participated will receive the coat of arms notification. That is to say, on the last day of his vacation, he didn't wait for the missions, but ran to you and waited for you to chat? He left in a hurry until the missions were issued?"

The staff officer was dumbfounded: "You mean..."

Shen Yi patted him on the head: "Fool, don't let others take advantage of you so easily in the future."

With that said, he turned and left.

The staff officer shouted from behind: "Brother Shen, where are you going?"

"Where else can it be? Of course it is to perform the task."

"But……"

"No, but, staff, opportunity is a trap, and a trap is also an opportunity. At least our old friend has learned one thing, that is...you have to cast the bait first if you want to fish."

ps: Q&A time.

Question 1: Why not choose a future technological world as the home world.

Answer: All future technologies are those that require investment to obtain. Think about it, it costs money to buy a normal version of a car, and nearly ten thousand to buy a blueprint of a mecha. How can it be possible to get future technologies in the future technology world for free?

Question 2: Why didn't the city build 10,000 ships to sweep the Zerg?

Answer: I didn't read the book carefully, so I went back and reread the chapter "The Truth".
