Chapter 31 Agents
The lord and 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 to pour in, and handed a glass to Pandora: "Drink, you're welcome."
He was not in a hurry to ask the other party anything.
"I never drink." Pandora replied.
"Are you afraid that if you lift the veil, others will see that you are a woman?" Shen Yi asked casually.
Pandora's body froze immediately.
She didn't know how Shen Yi could tell, but she was not the kind of woman who could pretend to be a man by just putting on a veil.
Her veil is an urban prop that can block detection skills, so Shen Yi's spiritual detection is useless to her. The veil itself can clearly simulate the appearance and behavior of a designated target, without any difference in behavior and movement, so even if Holmes sees it, it is impossible to find that she is a woman.
However, Shen Yi exposed her truth with such a light and delicate sentence, which shocked her quite a bit.
"How did you know 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 I talk to you, I want you to understand one thing first. In the Pirates of the Caribbean mission world, I did not attack you with all my strength. I can Let me tell you very clearly, my strength is by no means inferior to that of Di Yu or A Nuo. If I had done my best under the circumstances at that time..."
Shen Yi interrupted her: "You guys will still lose, at most I will work harder."
Pandora was a little helpless: "Well, even if this is the case, there is no unresolvable hatred between me and you. From the beginning to the end, I have never dealt with any of your people. Including your paratroopers later, I did it intentionally. Kill him, otherwise you thought it would be so coincidental to just grab his jetpack?"
"Yes I guessed, the question is why?"
Finally, when Shen Yi asked why, Pandora breathed a sigh of relief: "In order not to fall out with you completely, I mean so that everyone can still sit together and discuss the possibility of becoming one of their own."
"One of my own?" Hearing this word, Shen Yi laughed: "With whom?"
"Boss, to be precise, is an advanced adventurer from the fourth difficulty area."
Shen Yi let out a long breath.
Is that so?
When he heard the word "big brother" from Dabinit, the first thing he thought of was that in the bloody city, who else could call himself that.
The answer is not hard to find.
What he didn't understand was why the adventurers in the four difficulty areas set their sights on the normal area? What the hell are they trying to do?
After thinking about it, Shen Yi raised his wine glass: "Tell me."
Only then did Pandora raise her head and said, "Have you heard of the agency system?"
Shen Yi shook his head.
Pandora said: "The so-called agent system is actually a support system created by some relatively strong and difficult adventurers. Its main target is those adventurers from low-level areas. By giving them some strengthening and information help from other aspects to cultivate capable adventurers. After they enter high-difficulty areas in the future, they can join the supportive side.”
Shen Yi snorted: "Nonsense, I warn you, Pandora, stop talking nonsense to me. I am the captain of the Broken Blade team now, and there are still a few vacancies in my team. If I want to recruit players, I will only choose Recruit from ordinary areas instead of recruiting from slum areas like idiots. Who knows if they can survive the task world of slum areas? Even if they can survive, who can guarantee that they will listen to me in the future? Bloody City Everything is missing, but there is no shortage of white-eyed wolves. Why should I spend a lot of money and capital to train adventurers? Is it more meaningful for me to train my summon soldiers than adventurers? Your boss will not be such an idiot to go from the ordinary area Looking for a substitute?"
Pandora covered her mouth and smiled: "I knew I couldn't fool you,
But it doesn't matter, there must be a better way to say it. After all, speaking and doing are different. "
She was exposed as a woman by Shen Yi, and even her voice became soft at this moment.
Shen Yi was unmoved: "Then what's going on with this agent system? Why do adventurers with difficulty level 4 pay attention to this?"
Only then did Pandora reply: "Then I'll tell you straight to the point, there are three purposes. One: to collect information on adventurers in low-difficulty areas. In the world of high-difficulty missions, the troubles that the mission itself can bring to adventurers are already limited, and the real danger The most important thing is people. The bosses plan ahead and prepare first, and anyone who may pose a threat to them must pay attention."
"It's a reason, go ahead."
"Two: Handle some things that are inconvenient for the bosses. For example, adventurers from low-difficulty areas often go to high-level areas. They pester the bosses in the trading place, begging them to sell their equipment at a low price. To yourself, even to yourself."
Shen Yi almost spit out the wine, he stared at Pandora: "Is there such a thing?"
"It's not uncommon. There can be beggars in reality, but why can't there be bloody cities? In order to be strong and survive, some shameless people don't want dignity, die hard, and even kneel down to ask for money. Remember Arnold Have you ever said that? It’s normal to kill people for a piece of equipment in online games, let alone in the current world. Don’t let them pester people, even if they recognize you as your father, it’s fine.”
"I guess those bosses must be really annoying." Shen Yi rubbed 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 he didn't beg Cursing or something.
Thinking about it this way, he somewhat understood the mentality of those low-level adventurers.
"Indeed, but you can't use any force in the bloody city. Those adventurers who can't get a meal will often swear, curse each other, use vulgar words, and use offensive words..."
"Understood, the bosses can't do anything about them, but someone can deal with them."
"That's right, they are agents. They can help the bosses clean up the rubbish, and at the same time establish the majesty of the bosses."
"anything else?"
"The third point, and the most important point, is related to the wilderness. The wilderness was originally a whole, but it was later divided into sixteen regions. In these sixteen regions, each has its own unique characteristics. The rewards you can get for killing them are also different. That is to say, some things can only be obtained in specific areas. Once you miss the opportunity, you may never get it again..."
Shen Yi was stunned, then looked at Pandora: "You mean..."
"Yes, even in low-difficulty areas, there are some things that the bosses still want. But when they were adventurers in the ordinary area, they were unable to obtain them. When one day they have become the powerhouses of the bloody city , they found that it was no longer possible for them to turn around and get those things... High-level adventurers entering low-level areas will not get any rewards for killing ferocious beasts."
"So they thought of this agent system. By cultivating agents in low-level areas, they can handle things that they can't handle for themselves, and get things that they can't get... Is Xie Rongjun one of their agents?"
"That's right." Pandora readily admitted: "I am the observer responsible for connecting the boss and the agent. I am mainly responsible for supervising the situation when the agent is performing the mission of the boss. If something goes wrong with the agent, I will also be responsible. Looking for a new agent."
"Why arrange observers?"
"On the one hand, it is to ensure that the funding of the big bosses can be used effectively, instead of being used indiscriminately by the agents. On the other hand, it is also to supervise the execution of the tasks of the agents. The third is to convey the message in time. The last is when there is an accident. , a third party is needed to record the occurrence and process of all things, so as to avoid such accidents as much as possible in the future.”
"It turned out to be like this, so you joined Xie Rongjun's team, but you didn't give your full strength in the battle, because you were not really his subordinate."
"This is just one aspect. The most important reason is that the observer is the central link between the agent and the boss. The agent can change frequently, but the observer cannot. As observers, our first principle is: never Do not easily intervene in the enmity between adventurers and adventurers, unless it is the person designated by the boss to kill. Only by maintaining a neutral posture can we immediately find new alternative targets even if we lose an agent .”
"For example, I... because you didn't go all out in the Caribbean battle, we have maintained friendship with each other. When you come to me again, you can at least guarantee that I won't kill you as soon as we meet."
"That's right..." Pandora rubbed her belly, and replied angrily, "But you still did it."
Shen Yi said coldly: "The jetpack I lost cost me 2,000 points to buy it back, and charging you for kicking it is already considered very cheap."
Pandora laughed: "You have gained so much in the Caribbean world, why are you so concerned about paying two thousand points? If you agree to become the agent of the big bosses, what you get is far more than two thousand points many."
"Is it?"
"Of course, where do you think Xie Rongjun's stick of nature came from? Without the help of the big bosses, where did he get this kind of thing? It's not because the big bosses gave him information and help him to get it. Including Gale Team, Netherwolf team, there are several strong teams in the ordinary area that have not received funding from the bosses. They help the boss to do things, and the boss will give them some..."
"Some leftovers." Shen Yi interrupted Pandora's words: "Some of the benefits that slipped through their fingers were brought to the people below to show off their power. These guys are self-confident, and use a little bit of petty profit in exchange for a group of dog slaves to work for them , is that so?"
Even though she was covered by a veil, Pandora's violently heaving chest still betrayed her current anger. She took a few breaths: "Shen Yi, don't be so ignorant. I'm giving you a gift! This is an opportunity that no one wants!"
"Gift? Opportunity?" Shen Yi frowned and sneered.
He suddenly stopped talking, turned on the stereo, and a blue Danube sounded leisurely.
The sound of the music is like flowing water, with refreshing nourishment, bringing a touch of softness and harmony to this desolate and chilling wilderness.
Shen Yi's fingers beat with the pulse of the music, with an intoxicated expression on his face.
After a while, he said: "Pandora, in Greek mythology, the first woman on the earth made of clay by Hephaestus, the god of fire. Falling into difficulties and chaos. Pan, in ancient Greek, means everything, and Dora is a gift. The so-called Pandora is the giver of all. It is a gift from God to people. God brings disasters to the world, This is the gift it brings to the world... Your name is Pandora, it should be after you became an observer, right? It’s a very good name, calling the bosses gods, beautifying one’s responsibilities as gifts and opportunities. Is that right?"
Pandora's body froze.
Shen Yi looked at Pandora's eyes but became more and more cold: "You are a woman who will bring bad luck to others, and you are used to stirring up the string of desire in others' hearts. By satisfying people's psychology of getting something for nothing, you can achieve the goal of making people happy. The purpose of becoming a slave... I can fully imagine what will be waiting for me if I become the agent of the boss you say."
Shen Yi bent down, faced Pandora and said: "First of all, I take benefits from them, but the price is that I have to accept the supervision of a person who does not belong to my team, so I lose my privacy. Secondly, I have to follow their instructions to do things, Kill the people they want me to kill, perform the tasks they want me to perform, so I also lose my freedom. Then, I also lose my dignity, because as a sponsored party, I must maintain respect for my bosses, if If I still want to get benefits from them, I must bow to them, including you. In this world, I work hard, but in the end I only want to change the qualifications of a slave, and then I may be abandoned anytime, anywhere, you Do you think I'm so stupid?"
Pandora stared at Shen Yi dumbfounded: "No...you can't understand it this way...this is...this is a win-win deal. As long as you do well, the bosses can definitely give you a lot that you can't get at ordinary times. The help. These help can make you become stronger quickly, become a strong person in the ordinary area or even the apartment area, and go all the way. You can live forever!"
"I'm still alive without them, and I'm doing pretty well."
"But..." Pandora suddenly realized that she didn't know what to say.
The agent system is a system carefully launched by adventurers in the four difficulty areas to use each other with low-level adventurers. In this way, a huge network of strengths is established.
If it is said that the space manager represents the government organization of the bloody city, then the bigwigs who established the agency system are the largest non-governmental organizations in the city. Although they cannot fight against the "government", at least they have absolute strength among the people.
I don't know how many adventurers are eager to become the agents of big bosses, just like how many small businesses are eager to be acquired by big companies.
If things go on like this, a mindset has been formed in Pandora's mind, making her think that any adventurer she finds will be happy to be the agent of the big bosses, taking their salary and serving them.
Until today, Shen Yi's ruthless sarcastic words punctured Pandora's fantasy balloon, and made her finally realize that she had nothing to be proud of.
The so-called big companies, in front of small companies with real strength and self-confidence, are nothing more than goods that will be overthrown sooner or later. Such small companies either charge sky-high prices for investment in big business owners, or do not sell their shares at all. .
And Shen Yi is obviously such a small business owner - although the scale is small, he is ambitious.
Looking at Pandora at this moment, a gleam of sympathy suddenly flashed in Shen Yi's eyes.
The agent is of course the dog of the bosses, so why not the observer? Compared to Xie Rongjun, Pandora might be more pitiful, but she didn't feel it.
Pandora's tone gradually turned cold: "Then, are you planning to reject my offer?"
"yes."
"I hope you won't regret it. You have to know that you have offended them by doing so."
If the lure fails, then there will be threats. There is nothing better than lobbying since ancient times.
Shen Yi smiled: "Oh, that's right, then their minds are really small enough."
"Don't forget that you defeated their agent. Xie Rongjun is a good agent that I found with great difficulty. Now, because of you, my plan failed. It's only natural for them to trouble you!"
"Then what are they going to do? Find another agent to kill me? Or just rush to find me in the wilderness? Or... simply wait until I enter the fourth difficulty?"
Pandora's eyes became more and more angry: "Shen Yi, I don't understand why you are so stubborn. Being an agent is not harmful to you, why can't you think about it?"
"I don't understand why you still don't give up after talking about this. Is it because you have a big operation that is extremely short of people, so you urgently need my shot?"
Pandora was startled, and blurted out: "How do you know?"
As soon as she said this, she immediately knew that it was not good, and a smug smile appeared on Shen Yi's face.
He shook his wine glass: "Look, you have to be open and honest when you speak, so that you can talk."
He leaned close to Pandora's ear and whispered: "Let me give you a suggestion, I have no interest in being the shit agent of your boss. But if your boss is willing to work on the basis of fairness, reciprocity, and cooperation Talk to me on the Internet, then I don’t mind doing something for them. Of course, I have to make the terms. I mean...let’s call it a commissioned cooperation system, what do you think?”

PS: Well, let me say it again, I have a bad habit of never reading text messages on the site, or only reading them once in a few months. So the friends who send me text messages on the site are basically going to be disappointed, because it will be a year of the monkey when I see your text messages. So if there is anything in the future, let’s talk about it directly in the book review.
