Chapter 528 Shana's Goods
"Another awful 3,000 points! So disappointing..."
The content of the task settlement made Colin shake his head and sigh.
Although it is considered a lot compared to ordinary employees, it is not even a fraction of the amount used to upgrade and repair the gold card.
However, this advent project really didn't do anything, and it's unlikely to give out things like lottery tickets.
So I didn’t worry too much about this issue.
Colin glanced at the time. It was maybe a few seconds past 3:00 PM on Monday...
"The next step will be the next wave of official transactions with the company the day after tomorrow."
Colin got up from the bed, looked at the sunlight pouring in from the window not far away, raised his hand to touch his chin, and thought for a moment.
This time the official wants to trade a lot of things to the company...
He had to see if he could get some benefits, no, to be more precise, what kind of benefits he could get.
"We need some backup energy storage. Some high-level anomalies don't have special properties and don't seem particularly suitable for making props. But we can get some to use as firewood..."
According to Colin's understanding, anomalies with special features can generally drop useful equipment just like elite monsters.
As for ordinary anomalies, killing nothing will...
But it is suitable for making carbon materials.
Of course, this situation will basically only occur below the first-level containment object. When it reaches the first-level containment object, it has become the embodiment of a certain authority. Regardless of whether it is strong or weak, it will basically not appear without characteristics.
After thinking about it, Colin took out his cell phone and sent a text message to Many Blondes, but received no response.
"Huh? Speaking of which, I don't think I brought him back with me on the last mission to the Sun Never Sets Island?"
Colin finally remembered something and wondered what Xuanduojin was doing now.
But since that day until now, apart from a brief follow-up phone call, there has been no further news.
Just when Ke Lin was thinking about whether he should ask Mr. Wu about the situation, Xuanyun Jin responded.
He didn't talk about what happened that day, but about Colin's request.
"For the kind you describe, we usually choose to completely destroy it. This is a rare case where we can completely resolve it. However, if you need it, we will keep it for the future..."
Xuanyijin replied with a message saying that there was no problem.
After seeing how quickly Colin killed a second-level containment creature, he no longer worried that the other party would fail when using these things.
"Why do I feel like the authorities are quite happy about me taking 'kickbacks'?"
Colin was puzzled for a moment, but soon, combining the other party's words with his own understanding of the other side of this world, he figured out the reason -
Compared to him, the authorities were obviously more interested in destroying high-level restless anomaly containment objects.
It’s just that it’s not easy for them to do this on their own.
Because although the secondary containment object can be destroyed, how to destroy it is not a simple matter...
It can't be solved by just finding a hole or detonating a nuclear bomb.
Doing so might just make them escape...
All executions must be handled by high-ranking officials, who must trade their own condition and lifespan for the destruction of the other party.
Since Colin needs it, they would be more than happy to have it.
After that, they communicated for a while, and after finalizing the relevant situation, Colin ended the conversation on this matter.
Then he opened the parchment as usual and took a look...
In reality, only three hours had passed, and there had been no major changes. Everything was the same as before. The only difference was that there were a lot more "insider" employees who boasted that "World Number-13" was better.
"The next major expansion will probably have to wait until I reach C-rank, right?"
Colin thought about it and felt that the options would expand greatly at once.
I just don't know what kind of assessment C-level will go through...
"Speaking of which, that 'Happy Seven Days Farm' mission seems to have remained unfinished. Where did those employees who disappeared after completing the mission go? Could they have been captured and used as a group soldier?"
Colin was a little surprised. At the moment, there was no news at all.
After browsing the forum for a while and not seeing any useful information, he opened the auction house and looked around, intending to find some items that could heal his injuries.
Although he doesn't particularly need it now, he will definitely buy it as long as it is available and the price is not outrageous.
He can't use it, but the people in the territory can, and medical resources are in short supply.
Sadly, after browsing through it, I found none.
"They must have been cleared out by the authorities. They're impossible to get. Also, after the authorities got involved, those 'mental stability' items that ordinary employees wouldn't even buy were also cleared out..."
Colin looked at the much emptier auction house and found that there seemed to be fewer props of this kind.
This type was the most common in the past...
The reason is simple. Employees are not afraid of abnormal contamination at all because of a series of company measures such as injections. But it is different for officials. A large number of personnel are in extremely unstable mental states. It is estimated that the main force that buys and uses them is this group of people.
“I also sell some things…”
After Colin scanned the room and found nothing he wanted, he opened the storage room and looked at the four hundred or so tiny golden beans the size of rice grains. Each of them had some strange, seemingly distorted, but actually straight, light patterns on it.
These were the small buffs Shana had created for seven consecutive days and nights, taking time out to fight with him while assisting in territory construction, and then she worked tirelessly to rub out the small buffs one by one.
Under extremely intensive use, a D-class personnel can use it for at least 3 hours, and under normal use, it can last at least half a day.
If you lie still, it can probably last for a day or two.
Of course, the specific usage conditions also depend on the user's own quality.
The more powerful it is, the faster it will be...
"In fact, we can produce more small golden beans by reducing costs and increasing efficiency."
Colin touched the batch of goods that were about to be put on the shelves. Shana was very careful in making the things that were going to be sold and put a lot of effort into them.
If she did it a little more roughly, the number would be at least 700 a week, nearly double.
Unfortunately, Shana did not adopt the suggestion that Colin asked his employees to come forward. Instead, she saw through everything, gently hit Colin's shoulder, and rolled her eyes at him.
Shaking his head slightly and gathering his thoughts, Colin temporarily put the item up for sale at a price of 20 points each.
Then he randomly found some of his employees and asked them to promote the product. He didn't look at it any further. Colin had no doubt whether this thing could be sold.
…
"Take a look, take a look! This super powerful buff originally cost 30 points, but now it's on sale for a limited time at 20 points. It's the same buff as Brother Shunzi's..."
"A temporary blessing effect costs twenty points? That's over ten thousand yuan in cash. Why don't you just go grab it?"
"Why is it expensive? It's not expensive at all, okay? It's a life-saving thing! Sometimes you can't afford it, so you look at your own reasons..."
"Holy crap, who is this? How come it's gone all of a sudden? I was just about to buy one to try. Are you trying to sell it to a hungry customer?"
“…”
…
Just as the employees were wailing, Xu Xuanjin walked into a meeting room. When he pushed the door open, he found that the room was already full of officials above level seven.
Almost everyone in the province, whether they are permanent residents or passing through, comes here.
When Xu Jin came in, everyone stood up and greeted him. He waved his hand and asked everyone to sit down together. Then he looked at the things that people were gathered around.
Those glittering golden particles were the Buffs that Colin had put up for sale.
"Is this thing you're talking about really that magical?"
Manyin asked curiously.
I heard that it can suppress and purify the negative effects on the body to a certain extent. This is simply unheard of...
"Yes, we've tested it all and confirmed that there is indeed no problem. It works very well for level seven and level eight. It can significantly reduce the pollution in our bodies for at least one day, and enable us to use our strength better..." said a level six personnel with a crutch.
"What about the side effects?" Xuan Duojin asked immediately.
"After using it for a long time, you'll lose some of your emotions, but it doesn't affect your thinking, and it seems to be reversible!"
"No more?"
“No more.”
"This... has absolutely no side effects."
Many Jins reached out and pressed their black-framed glasses. They were almost going crazy due to the torture of pollution and the like. Losing a little emotion was not a big deal at all.
Immediately, many golds picked up a golden bean, poured spirituality into it, and drove the power within it.
Soon, wisps of pale light emanated...
Under the illumination of this ray of light, he could clearly feel the constant buzzing noise in his brain, which was aching from time to time, begin to weaken...
The disappearance was very limited, but even this limited difference made him feel a lot more relaxed.
This feeling reminded him of when he was next to Colin and was illuminated by the "bonfire".
He would also be more comfortable under the flames...
But "Bonfire" seems to achieve the corresponding effect by strengthening its own humanity, while this one directly erases and suppresses pollution in a certain sense.
If we can take both approaches at the same time, the effect will be very obvious.
"It's a good thing, but it seems to suppress our extraordinary powers to a certain extent. However, this suppression is almost offset by the benefits it brings... Well, I'll take this away and test the effects for you guys to avoid any pitfalls."
Xuanyun Jin made a brief comment, grabbed a few more gold beans and put them in his pocket, and looked at the others with twitching eyelids.
Before they could speak, Duo Xinjin asked, "So, where did this thing come from?"
"I only know that it's from Bonfire Company..." A level 7 personnel from outside the area shook his head.
Manyjin raised his eyebrows and said, "Bonfire Company?"
"Well, I heard it was sold by a man named '654321,' also known as 'Brother Shunzi.' He's very famous, and I heard he's the most powerful employee in the company. You should know him. He's on file in the company. We've been trying to find him, but there's no trace of him yet..."
After a pause, a Level 7 officer from out of town continued, "We consulted our superiors and received instructions from Mr. Wu. He said he didn't have time and asked us to come to you. Perhaps you might have some information?"
Brother Shunzi... Xuanyu Jin was silent for a moment after hearing this.
Understand? More than just understand... Almost 24 hours a day, I have to keep an eye on that place, even when I'm carrying out some tasks, to avoid any accidents.
As for the fact that these people didn't understand, he wasn't surprised.
Colin's case is kept extremely confidential. He is almost the only one at level eight who knows the complete truth. Apart from Mr. Wu, the higher level nine personnel do not fully understand it either.
So it's normal that the on-site staff didn't know...
"Okay, I'll try to understand the situation later, but I may not get a response."
Many gold simply ended this topic.
"Okay, this matter is very important. I'll leave everything to you, Mr. Xu. We must prepare as many supplies as possible for future use." The level 7 personnel from outside the area said sincerely.
Now, as Mr. Wu’s birthday approaches, the entire world is making intensive preparations for war, and all resources are being used to transition through that period.
No one knows what kind of disaster will happen when that moment comes, and how many monsters and demons will emerge.
But it is undeniable that...
Even if one is not a Beyonder with abilities related to foresight or reasoning, one will have a vague premonition that something terrifying is approaching .
Many people nodded, indicating that they would take it seriously.
After the meeting, he immediately called Ke Lin and explained the situation...
"Oh, so you guys bought them? I was wondering who was so rich that they sold out in less than ten minutes after they were put on the shelves."
Kelin plays games with one hand and answers the phone with one hand.
He was confident he could sell the items before, but he didn't expect them to be sold out in just ten minutes...
However, according to many people's description, Shana's buff does seem to have a great effect on them.
"I'd like to ask a few questions. First, is it possible to trade using a currency other than points? Second, how many of these items are there? Are there any more powerful items of this kind..."
All the gold beans have a feeling of being produced on an assembly line, and many golds intuitively tell themselves that this is something that can be mass-produced.
"As for things other than points, let me think about it. Do you have any list you can give me? I'll take a look first. Secondly, the current upper limit for this thing is about 500 per week, not more. As for stronger ones, there are some, but we'll have to wait and see..."
Colin thought about what had happened in the past few days. Shana had been contacting various branches or subordinate forces of the "Light" Church, wanting everyone to work together on this, but at the moment she couldn't come up with anything valuable to motivate everyone.
After all, points are only valuable to her and have no meaning to others.
But there are so many official things, it may not be impossible to get them out...
If large-scale transactions are established once.
With several gold cards on him, he may never have to worry about points!
"It's a pity that I don't have much space. Even with the employees, the space is still not very large. Large-scale transactions are not easy to form. But speaking of it, working hard on missions may not make as much money as smuggling in the end..."
Colin couldn't help but mutter under his breath.
Capital is so hateful!
Fortunately, he was the one who wielded the knife to cut the leeks.
After communicating for a while and finalizing some preliminary intentions, the communication did not continue.
After hanging up the phone, Colin continued to look at the screen in front of him.
"Dark Soul, activate!"
