Chapter 3 (Volume 23) Ultimate Welfare (4 From the End)

"Boss, what's going on with you?" I had just finished sending the notification when I heard a voice coming from the gate. On time, Big Pot Rice walked in and said, "You've been missing for several days. Why are you making so much noise when you just come back?"

I didn't answer Da Guo Fan's words, but asked with a smile: "Why did you come here so quickly?"

The big pot of rice slumped down on his seat, then picked up the spiritual spring water on the table and took a sip. After finishing it, he said: "I was just studying map information in the map room on the side. I hurriedly heard your summons. Come here. Boss, where have you been these days?"

"I'm going to explain it to you now and I'll have to explain it to everyone again. You'd better wait until everyone is here and I'll tell you all at once."

"Oh, okay then! Who calls you the boss?"

As soon as Da Guofan finished speaking, he heard the sound of armor clashing at the door. When he turned around, he saw Hong Yue walking over with a large group of subordinates. She was still signing some document as she walked. The person next to her immediately took the document. I went out, but new documents were handed over. Hongyue blocked the handed document, then looked towards me and said, "Ziri, where have you been these days?"

Before I could say anything, Big Pot Rice said: "Hongyue, don't ask. The boss said that we should make it clear again when everyone is here."

After hearing this, Hongyue nodded and walked to the first seat on my left to sit down. Then she continued to read the documents. The subordinates behind me saluted me and then hurriedly handed over two documents.

After that, core members of the guild began to appear at the door in an endless stream, and soon there were no less than 200 people sitting in the huge conference room. As the scale of the Frost Rose Alliance expands, the number of main members of the guild also increases. Some of them who joined later were recruited by Hongyue and the others. On the contrary, I am not very familiar with them and only have a rough impression.

After these people arrived, at my signal, the door of the conference hall was closed, and the only ones left on the scene were a group of guild managers.

After the door closed, the room became quiet. Everyone looked at me at the top, waiting for me to tell the purpose of gathering everyone this time.

After looking around, I saw that the guild's leadership, except for Rose, was all here. It seemed that my arrival time was quite accurate, so I had to notify everyone.

After organizing my words for a while, I said: "Everyone has been in our Frost Rose Alliance for a long time, and has had more or less contact with me. But if you can join our Frost Rose Alliance, you can be regarded as a like-minded person." . The Frost Rose Alliance can develop to the scale it is today without the efforts of everyone."

Daguofan suddenly interrupted me and said: "Boss, we are all brothers, so there is no need to engage in such sensational things, right? If you have anything to do, just say it. As long as you say it, in addition to asking for my wife, I guarantee that you will frown." Don't wrinkle it. Ouch..."

Before Da Guo Fan could finish his words, he was knocked by Bing Ling next to him, which caused a burst of laughter around him, and the atmosphere relaxed a little. Because I had been thinking about how to tell everyone about this incident, my expression was always very heavy, so many people at the scene began to worry. The atmosphere was indeed a bit too depressing.

I smiled and glanced at the big pot of rice. This guy looked stupid, but he was actually very smart.

After everyone finished laughing, I said: "Yes! The big pot meal is right. We are all brothers, so there is no need to be so formal. In fact, everyone does not need to be so nervous. Although this incident is a bit special, it should actually be regarded as a benefit. right."

"Boss, you don't have to be so bitter and resentful to give out benefits, right?" Big Pot Rice made another joke. "Did I think you were going to do something big?"

"You are right, this welfare town is a big deal." I glanced at the people on both sides of the table, and then said: "Some of you know, some of you don't know, my identity in reality is actually very special. Although It can be said that things in the game have little to do with reality, but that is just an appearance. After all, players are real people outside the game, so of course things outside the game will be brought into the game, which is inevitable .My identity in reality is also an existence that is at the forefront of the storm. If you often read economic news, you may know me. My character's appearance has not changed much, and you can still guess my identity in reality. .”

After hearing my words, one of the foreign players I was not familiar with said: "President, are you really Shenlin? The next heir to the Longyuan Group."

"Have you seen my profile?"

"I saw your introduction in a magazine before. At that time, I thought it was similar to you, the president, but I didn't dare to confirm it for a while, but now it seems that it should be true."

I nodded and said: "Yes, I am Shen Lin, the son of Shen Jianguo. Longyuan Group can also be regarded as my family business."

The crowd below didn’t react much to my words, because these are the senior leaders of the guild, and I have not deliberately concealed my identity. Although I have not been formally introduced, generally everyone still knows my identity. Naturally, everyone There is not much reaction to my now revealing identity.

After I announced my identity, Hongyue, who was sitting on the left side, suddenly asked: "You are announcing your identity at this time. Is what you said related to this identity?"

I nodded and looked at the people below and said, "Yes, Vice President Hongyue's guess is very correct. Everyone should have some idea of ​​what kind of company Longyuan Group is. It is not a large company in the traditional sense. Longyuan Group is actually a heavy industry group focusing on military industry. Although we also have many radiating industries in other directions, we are still mainly a military industry group. High-tech weapons are our main products. And because our group With the direction of the industry, we will naturally know some things that ordinary people cannot know."

"What kind of things are you referring to?" asked a European player. I am quite familiar with this player. He is one of the earlier players recruited by our guild.

"The reason I'm struggling with how to tell you is because this matter involves a very important secret, and I can't tell you anything about it in advance. In fact, telling you that such a thing exists is already a violation, but My status determines that I still have a certain range of control. Therefore, I decided to use my own power to fight for some benefits for everyone."

"President, the big thing you are talking about is probably related to the detection spacecraft launched by the United States in the past time, right?" someone asked.

I reached out to stop others from talking, and then said: "I can't explain or reveal any information, so don't make random guesses. No matter if you guess right or wrong, I can't tell you anything. I just ask you, do you trust me?" "

Somewhat beyond my expectation, everyone reacted very quickly. After I finished speaking, everyone shouted: "Of course I trust you." Although everyone's expressions and languages ​​are different, and the order is also slightly different, listen It was a bit confusing, but at least everyone expressed their trust in me, which I was quite touched by.

"I am very touched by everyone's support, and it is not in vain that I fight for these benefits for you. So, I will now formally inform you. Please gather at this address within forty-eight hours."

The God of War projected an address in the air following my words, and everyone had different reactions after seeing it. Players in China are doing fine, but foreign players have responded very well. Many people asked in surprise: "This is a real address! President, do you mean for us to come to China to meet in real life?"

I nodded and affirmed: "Yes, the benefits this time are not in the game, and they cannot be mailed. You must come in real life, otherwise I will not be able to send the benefits to you."

After everyone heard what I said, the foreign players were obviously hesitant. After all, they had to suddenly go abroad, and the range of movement was a bit large. However, after thinking about it for a while, no one objected. At least everyone agreed with the decision to come to China.

Seeing that no one raised any questions, I continued: "I still have something to tell you about the distribution of benefits this time. First, the value of benefits is very high, so high that you can't even imagine it. To the extent that it is no less precious than your life. Although I have no way to tell you the specific benefits, I use my credibility to guarantee that when you come to me and really get this benefit, you will definitely Will agree with what I said today."

"No less than our lives?" said a Japanese girl: "Does that mean it's not something that can be bought with money?"

I nodded and said: "Yes, even if you are rich, you wouldn't be able to buy this thing without me. This is a benefit that cannot be measured with money. Please also believe my assessment of its value. The value of this benefit is absolutely Extremely valuable.”

"Boss, you don't need to persuade us, we will definitely come. Don't say it's a welfare, even if you want to hold a meet-and-greet in reality for everyone to get together, we have to come. Don't you think so?" This is a Domestic players said that after all, it is not particularly troublesome for domestic players to make a trip to Nanjing. Anyway, the transportation capabilities of high-speed rail and airplanes are now exaggerated. It only takes a few hours. If you set off in the morning, you can get here in time at noon. Eating lunch together is not a big deal.

Domestic players basically agreed with this idea, while foreign players were a little hesitant, but everyone said they would definitely come. Even if it wasn't for the welfare, they still felt it was necessary to make the trip just because of my request. After all, my authority within the Frost Rose Alliance is absolutely guaranteed.

After seeing everyone's opinions, I continued: "Then, there is a second issue to pay attention to. I am not giving you 48 hours to waste your time on the road. At the speed of the current civil transportation network, If we set out now, even if we live on the other side of the world, everyone will definitely be here within 15 hours. The reason why we give you 48 hours is to let you think carefully about the people and things you want to bring."

"Why are there still people and things?" someone asked in surprise.

"The benefits I have prepared for you are not just one, but they are distributed on a per-capita basis, which means that everyone who comes here can get exactly the same benefit. Of course, I will not give benefits to unrelated people for no reason. So you need to think clearly. You are all important members of our association, so the benefits I provide will be much better than those of ordinary members. You can start thinking about your relationships with relatives and friends now, and then draw up a list immediately. Please note that the people on the list should be ordered in order of their importance to you.

If you're having a hard time deciding, imagine you're all on a cruise ship. Now the cruise ship has been attacked by a terrorist and is about to sink. There is a lifeboat in front of you, but it cannot hold everyone. When this lifeboat can only hold one person, who do you let on to gain hope of escape? When the lifeboat can hold two people, who will you let on board, and so on, continue to increase the number of people the lifeboat can carry, and use this standard to rank the people you value. Oh, and don’t forget about yourself. Who you get on the boat first is also important.

Remember, everyone you know is on the cruise ship. Only those who climb into the lifeboat have hope of living, and those who stay behind will die. Fill in the criteria based on this. Also note that this is not a quick brainstorm. Don't think about any random possibilities. Just rank the people you know in order. Oh, by the way, one more thing, members of our guild do not need to join this list, because they will also enjoy similar benefits. Please start thinking now, I need the list in ten minutes. "

Everyone clearly felt that my words seemed to have a very clear purpose. Some people even vaguely thought of something, but hesitated for a long time and did not ask.

When our Frost Rose Alliance recruits people, we have super strict requirements. Almost all the people who join the association are elites. What’s more, here are the leaders. The elite among the elites. I can’t say that they are all geniuses, but at least 80% of them are guaranteed to be high-IQ talents. . These people's brains are already very good, and my words have such obvious direction, so they have vaguely guessed something, but they are not sure what it is.

Just because they were unsure, some people wanted to ask, but I had said many times before that I would not tell the specific content, so they began to hesitate again. But after all, these are all elites, and someone finally figured out how to ask.

It was Su Mei who finally asked the question. This little girl was originally a genius, but in the past few years, she had become more and more talented. After thinking for a while, she finally couldn't help but asked tentatively: "Brother Ziri, um... I have a lot of beautiful clothes that I like very much. There are a lot of them. Can I bring them all?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes were focused on my face, because they were already speculating on the possibility.

What I said before is really very purposeful. Although they have not guessed the specific situation, these people have already made a general judgment. Everyone's judgment is that there may be a major global crisis in the world, and this crisis must be very serious and may even threaten everyone's life safety. And what I call welfare should be to provide some kind of shelter, which can protect everyone from disasters.

This kind of speculation has specific clues. For example, the reason why everyone is sure that this disaster is worldwide is because I want to summon people from the entire guild, rather than players from a specific region. This means that the specific scope of this crisis cannot be determined, or it is global, so the entire guild needs to be summoned. , because our Frost Rose Alliance players are spread all over the world and are composed of people from many countries. This is when everyone needs to be called together. Otherwise, I just need to gather people in the area where there is danger. There is no need to do it on such a large scale.

Second, everyone judged this threat to be very serious because I said that benefit may be more precious than their lives.

What is more valuable than our lives? Of course, our own lives and the lives of our families are tied together. I asked everyone to choose the order of intimacy between relatives and friends. This is obviously a rhythm for bringing relatives together. If you just come to receive the award and leave immediately, then there is no need to bring relatives, but you need to bring relatives, which means that this should be a benefit that cannot be carried, or it is not a specific item at all. Only in this way will there be no way to move and we will have to let everyone come over. From this, everyone speculates that this should be some type of asylum, thus saving everyone's lives and the lives of relatives. If this is the case, this benefit is really many times more important than one's own life!

After guessing so much content, everyone was eager to verify it, but I said before that I would not disclose the content, so it was obviously inappropriate to ask directly. However, the problem of Su Mei is very clear. Just ask me directly if I can bring a lot of clothes, and you should be able to tell a lot from the wording and tone of my answer.

I also guessed what Su Mei and the others meant, but after thinking about it for a while, I finally decided to give more accurate information, so that they could pay more attention to it. As for the issue of leaking secrets... I actually didn't reveal any information, so if they really want to leak secrets, there's nothing to say. Even if you preach about the end of the world, you must at least have specific content. You don’t know anything about it, but you just know that it is going to end. It is impossible for anyone to take such unreliable information seriously, and perhaps it will be regarded as a kind of entertainment. information to understand.

After thinking clearly, I looked at Su Mei and said very seriously: "Unless it is a special item with some commemorative significance, don't bring it. Just have two sets of favorite changes of clothes."

Many people frowned as soon as this answer came out, because my meaning was already very clear, which meant that they didn't have to go back when they came, otherwise it would be impossible for them to bring commemorative items with them. They were asked to choose the closest and most important person before, and now they have to bring commemorative items with them. That means they can't go back at all!

Although they believed in my credibility and authority, someone still asked uncertainly: "President, are the benefits you mentioned really not available in our own hometown?"

Everyone was quiet for a moment again, waiting for my answer. I thought about it and said, "I really can't distribute benefits to where you are. Only when you come here can I give you these benefits. But if you don't come, you might be able to get the same benefits, but Then it is definitely not what I provided. Moreover, if you stay in your hometown, the probability of getting this benefit is not 100%. You may not get it, and then..."

I didn't say anything, but everyone already understood what I meant. Now they are 100% sure that this is a world-wide disaster, because I said that they may get this benefit if they stay in their hometown, which means that this benefit may be a kind of asylum, and if they stay, the government should organize an evacuation. But this asylum certainly cannot cover all citizens. No country has ever been able to protect its entire population in the face of disaster. This kind of government does not exist. Therefore, if you come to me, you will get 100% protection. If you don't come, then it depends on the execution ability of the local government.

Although it is not yet certain what the specific disaster is, everyone has begun to speculate that a world war may be imminent. Because I said before, I am the successor of Long Yuan, and Long Yuan is a military industrial group. If a military industrial group knows the information in advance, it is very likely that a world war will begin, and it may be a nuclear war. If that kind of thing really happens... As expected, the chance of the remaining guards falling to death is very high! In contrast, with the capabilities of Longyuan Military Industrial Group, the possibility of having nuclear-proof bunkers is absolutely 100%, which means that even if a nuclear war occurs, I do have a way to protect them.

Although the guess is a bit biased, I have to say that the general meaning is correct.

After the situation was basically determined, everyone stopped testing. Many people started writing directly, but some people did not start writing immediately. A player asked if he could bring a pet. He said that he had a dog that he had kept for many years and had always been regarded as a family member and he did not want to leave it.

I hesitated a little bit about this, and finally thought about it and said: "You can use the standard I just gave to treat it as a family member, and it is up to you to decide which one it gets on the lifeboat, but you have to know that it If you go up, you will occupy a position, which means someone cannot go up."

The other party's expression was obviously quite depressed after hearing this.

Someone soon asked: "Excuse me, how many benefits can we receive specifically? I mean, how many people can that lifeboat take away at most? Although you said it can continue to increase, it can't take everyone away, right?"

"Your lifeboat has 7 seats, but don't forget that you also need a seat. If you decide to give up your life and let others come on board, I won't object, but please think carefully before making your decision."

"What about the other members of the guild?"

"You are senior elite members, so there are more seats. There are 5 seats for senior members, 3 for ordinary members, and two for reserve members. These include their own seats."

"I'm starting to envy those unmarried orphans!" a domestic member said with a sad face.

I shook my head helplessly and said: "I'm sorry everyone, my abilities are limited, this is already the limit!"

Everyone didn't say anything after hearing my words, and began to gnash their teeth and think about how to fill in the list. But after a few minutes, someone actually asked: "Boss, if we can't use that many places ourselves, can we help our friends write down a few names?"

I looked up and saw that the person speaking was a foreign player. When he saw me looking over, he explained that he grew up in an orphanage and had no special friends except his girlfriend. Two places were enough, but he didn't want to waste the remaining five places. Get yourself a good friend. His good friend is also here, and he is also a leader of our guild. This guy is quite exaggerated. He has 5 children. Including his wife and his parents, there are already 9 people. In addition, he also has a younger brother and two younger sisters. They are all very close. The number of places is really not enough. It just so happened that his friend didn't need that many places, so he wanted to ask if he could transfer it.

I thought for a moment and said, "As long as you agree, it's up to you."

"Thank you so much, President!" The guy stood up excitedly and bowed to me, then sat down and quickly started thinking about the list, because even with the borrowed places, he still felt that they were not enough.

In fact, if this kind of thing really happens, let alone how many places there are, even if there are more than a dozen places, it will not be enough for most people. Our network of relationships in life is complex and huge. Although we may not really care about everyone, it is unlikely that there are only one or two people we care about. Of course, if there are only one or two people we care about, then It just means you are too lonely.

"Okay, it's almost time. Please give the list to the God of War, and I will tally it up." (To be continued ~^~)
