Shang Jianyao was silent for a while, and then asked:
"What do you know about the Long Night Order?"
Zhang Lei shook his head:
"I don't like dealing with these sects, I feel like they're crazy and dangerous.
"I have only heard people say that the Long Night Order believes that every night is dangerous, and only with the blessing of life can we live to see the dawn.
"So, they like to pray when it's just dark, meet late at night, and call their big mass a carnival ball......"
Speaking of this, Zhang Lei said a little incomprehensibly:
"I don't know what a carnival is like, but I always feel that it is a bit strange as a religious mass ceremony."
"If you've heard parenting lectures and mechanical statements, you won't feel that way." Shang Jianyao said in a strange tone.
Zhang Lei didn't ask what parenting lectures and mechanical statements were, he looked back at Meng Xia who was chatting with a few friends, and said to Shang Jianyao:
"What else do you want to ask?"
"In addition to the commanding order, which other years do you know?" Shang Jianyao put on a look that he wanted to ask clearly and clearly when he saw the opportunity.
Zhang Lei recalled:
"Not much, Si Ming in December, Bodhi in January, and when I was in Wild Grass City, I heard people from the original city mention that some of their nobles secretly believed in the mandala in September."
Shang Jianyao recalled the team leader's description and sincerely commented:
"In the original city, we may be able to gather all the faiths of the elderly."
"That's not a good place." Zhang Lei nodded, "For most people."
He pointed to Meng Xia's side:
"If there is no problem, I will pass."
Shang Jianyao suddenly asked:
"Why don't you ask me why I suddenly asked this?"
Zhang Lei, who was dark-skinned and medium-sized, stood up and said slowly:
"The more you know, the more dangerous it is."
After saying that, he didn't stay any longer, turned his body, and walked towards Meng Xia.
Shang Jianyao continued to sit there, without any other movements, as if he had been isolated by the lively atmosphere around him.
He quietly watched the people coming and going, feeling uncomfortable.
…………
The next day, Shang Jianyao also arrived at Room 14 on the 647th floor, where the "Old Adjustment Team" was located, nearly ten minutes early.
Without any accidents, Jiang Baimian was already sitting in his seat.
"I met an outside employee yesterday." Shang Jianyao walked over and said bluntly.
"Huh?" Jiang Baimian said that he was waiting for the following.
Shang Jianyao pulled away the chair and sat down:
"He has a certain understanding of the Year and the Awakened One......"
He repeated what Zhang Lei said.
"Sure enough, the Awakened Person's ability directly related to the heart is in the realm of fate." Jiang Baimian sighed thoughtfully, "I don't know if I believe in which year of deity, when I awaken, I will gain the ability in the corresponding field...... If you awaken before you are sure of your faith, what does it rely on to determine the characteristics of your ability? Well, Du Heng said that different costs will vaguely map different fields, so divide them according to the different costs paid?"
Speaking of this, Jiang Baimian suddenly mentioned:
"Then what is the price of Qiao Chu?
"What is the price of Du Heng and Garoland?"
Shang Jianyao replied:
"Not all costs are easy to see.
"If the Pure Dharma is not mentioned, no one will directly think that the price of his desire is increased.
"I almost exchanged 'being single for life' in exchange for ability, but it didn't work, this price is useless."
Jiang Baimian was suddenly surprised:
"Doesn't it mean that you just need to pay the price? It has to be the price of conforming to some kind of rule?"
"I don't know." Shang Jianyao is very honest.
Jiang Baimian said "hmm":
"It's hard to see anything in a single case unless you try many times to find the right price."
"Three times, the second time I wanted to exchange 'no friends', but it still didn't work." Shang Jianyao said truthfully.
Jiang Baimian nodded lightly and said:
"Wait until you get to know a few awakened people and understand their failures and success cases before you can summarize the pattern."
"They won't say it." Shang Jianyao pointed out.
"What if their price is not to lie or to answer questions?" Jiang Baimian smiled and said.
Then, she thought:
"After coming back, the more I think about it, the more I feel that Qiao Chu's charm is not like ability, but closer to the price."
Shang Jianyao's eyes moved slightly, and he immediately said:
"So far, all the awakened people I have seen, except for him, have abilities that can be controlled by themselves."
In other words, even if the ability will bring some bad results, the Awakened can at least choose to use it or not.
And Qiao Chu was chased all the way by the nightmare horse, and maybe he lost a car because of it, until he used tricks to trick the other party into crossing the river and blow up the bridge, and then he really got rid of it.
Normal awakened people should have stopped charming long ago.
Of course, Shang Jianyao cannot guarantee that there must be no such thing as "indiscriminate passive charm" in the ability given.
"Yes." Jiang Baimian agreed, "From this point of view, Qiao Chu's charm is most likely the price to pay."
Speaking of this, she suddenly laughed:
"When Qiao Chu first became an awakened person and was still relatively weak, I don't know what this indelible passive charm brought him, tsk ......"
"Miserable." Shang Jianyao skipped the possible case and gave a conclusion directly.
He then added:
"Before entering the 'Sea of Origin' and overcoming the inner fears one by one, Qiao Chu's charm would not have such a large scope, and the effect would not be so strong."
"What are you thinking?" Jiang Baimian smiled and said, "What I originally planned to say was that Qiao Chu must be very fond of mosquitoes, and if you stay with him, you won't be afraid of being bitten.
Without giving Shang Jianyao a chance to give a clear answer, she said instead:
"Normally, no one will pay the price of 'becoming more attractive', which is not a price at all in the general view.
"So, Qiao Chu should have exchanged 'charm' for his ability at that time...... As a result, he didn't expect to become a heartthrob, the kind that both humans and dogs want to get on, well...... According to my experience, as time goes by, the urge to force him gradually intensifies, and it is foreseeable that if we stay for another day or two, or even a few hours, we will actively and violently violate him.
"This is really the price, miserable ......"
"Your physiological education in that class is not bad." Shang Jianyao commented seriously.
"Huh? What did you say?" Jiang Baimian touched his ears and said seriously, "Moreover, we have discussed it before, judging from the situation at that time, if Qiao Chu showed hostility and acted vicious, the corresponding target would be relieved of the state of being charmed, and his companions would also be stimulated and get rid of the influence to a certain extent, except for animals and 'heartless people'...... It seems that there are still a lot of restrictions."
Jiang Baimian thought for a while and then said:
"If that's the case, Qiao Chu's third Awakened ability hasn't been shown yet.
"We were cautious at the beginning."
They are currently known to have the ability to frustrate and focus on an Awakened person who is frustrated and focused on doing something, the former is ranged, and the latter seems to be one-on-one.
While the two were talking, Long Yuehong and Bai Chen walked in one after another.
Seeing this, Jiang Baimian stood up, clapped his hands, and said with a smile:
"The above replied!"
Hearing the reward, whether it was Long Yuehong, Bai Chen, or Shang Jianyao, their eyes lit up all of a sudden.
"Stop, no singing, no dancing!" Jiang Baimian stopped Shang Jianyao in advance and did not let him do anything.
Shang Jianyao suddenly showed a regretful expression.
Jiang Baimian cleared his throat and said with a smile:
"Rewards and compensation are combined into two parts.
"The first part is that everyone's employee level has been raised by an additional level, that is to say, I am now D7 level, a real team leader, Shang Jianyao and Long Yuehong were originally going to be promoted to D2 level, but now they are directly to D3, Bai Chen was originally a regular employee, D1 level, and now to D2."
「D3？」 Long Yuehong exclaimed in surprise, "Wouldn't it be possible to have 1,000 more contribution points every month?"
This means that his monthly salary will be 2,800 points.
Moreover, when he gets married next year and can be separated, higher employee levels will be assigned to better rooms.
"How many levels can I apply for genetic modification, if I pay my own contribution points?" Bai Chen's face flashed with joy, and he quickly disappeared.
Jiang Baimian replied with a smile:
"I asked for you, in your case, you can go to D4. If you are willing to participate in a very dangerous kind of project, you can do it now, but I don't recommend it, no matter what you want to do, you have to live to do it."
Bai Chen nodded slightly, saying that he would not be so reckless.
Jiang Baimian looked at Shang Jianyao again:
"Are you unhappy?"
"I'm happy." Shang Jianyao looked serious.
"Forget it, I shouldn't have asked you." Jiang Baimian continued, "The second part is that each person will be compensated with 10 contribution points."
"10 thousand?" Long Yuehong has never seen so many contribution points in her life.
Jiang Baimian laughed and said:
"Not much, we robbed it, no, we got back an armored vehicle, a heavy machine gun, a black swamp iron snake skin and two truckloads of supplies.
"These things, if you take them to a place like Weeds City to sell, their value will definitely exceed 40 contribution points several times.
"However, you also have to think about it, our weapons are provided by the company, our jeeps are given by the company, our people are raised by the company, and it is very reasonable for the company to take the big head. This is a bit more difficult than simply contributing."
"A lot, a lot." Long Yuehong said that she had no complaints at all.
He wanted to change his parents, younger brother, and sister to a larger room, which was about 30,000 o'clock.
For Bai Chen, the strongest side took the most loot was an unbreakable truth, so she didn't think there was anything wrong with this.
Shang Jianyao wanted to say something, but no one wanted to listen.
Then, Jiang Baimian opened the table drawer and took out three document bags:
"It's all marked with names, it's vetted, and it's a gain you can have.
"Hehe, the company has returned all the watches to us, these are all mechanical watches, which are much more valuable than electronic watches, at least 50,000 or 60,000 contribution points, well, the company has helped us repair the damaged parts.
"By the way, remember to update the electronic card later, if the number of contribution points is wrong, remember to tell me, ah, also, the 900 field subsidy was also issued directly this time."
As Jiang Baimian spoke, Shang Jianyao took the document bag with his name written on it and poured out the contents.
It had a pair of black sunglasses, a dark mechanical watch, a transparent glass ball inlaid with yellow petals, a voice recorder from Black Rat Town, and a palm-sized black-faced speaker with a blue background that almost burst a document bag.
Bai Chen didn't care about looking at his document bag, looked at Jiang Baimian, and asked with concern:
"Team leader, what is the result of what happened in Shuiwei Town?"
PS: Ask for a monthly pass during the double period~
