Shang Jianyao was silent for a while, and then asked:
"What do you know about the Long Night Sect?"
Zhang Lei shook his head:
"I don't like dealing with these sects, they feel crazy and dangerous.
"I've only heard people say that the Long Night Cult believes that every night is very dangerous, and only with the blessing of the Divine Commander can you live to see the dawn.
"So, they like to pray in the early hours of the day, to meet late at night, and to call their mass a carnival ball..."
Speaking of which, Zhang Lei said somewhat incomprehensibly:
"I don't know what a carnival dance looks like, but I always find it a bit strange as a religious Mass."
"You've heard parenting lectures and mechanical arguments, so you won't feel that way." Shang Jianyao said in a not surprised tone.
Zhang Lei didn't ask about parenting lectures and mechanical arguments. He looked back at Meng Xia, who was chatting with a few friends, and said to Shang Jian Yao:
"What else do you want to ask?"
"Besides Si Ming, what other Zhi Sui do you know?" Shang Jianyao pretended to ask clearly when he got the chance.
Zhang Lei recalled:
"Not much, Si Ming in December, Bodhi in January, and, when I was in Weed City, I heard people from the first city mention that some nobles there secretly believe in the mandala in September."
Shang Jianyao recalled the description of the team leader and sincerely commented:
"In the first city, it may be possible to gather all the beliefs of the old age."
"That's not a good place." Zhang Lei nodded, "For most people."
He pointed to Meng Xia's side:
"If there's nothing wrong, I'll go."
Shang Jianyao suddenly asked:
"Why don't you ask me why I'm asking this all of a sudden?"
Zhang Lei with dark skin and medium stature stood up and said slowly:
"The more you know, the more dangerous it is."
After speaking, he didn't stop, turned around, and walked towards Meng Xia.
Shang Jianyao continued to sit there without any other action, as if he had been cut off by the lively atmosphere around him.
He quietly watched the people coming and going, without any discomfort.
…
The next day, Shang Jianyao also arrived at Room 14 on the 647th floor where the "Old Tune Group" was located nearly ten minutes earlier.
Without any accident, Jiang Baimian had already taken his seat.
"I met a foreign employee yesterday." Shang Jianyao walked over and said bluntly.
"Huh?" Jiang Baimian said that he was waiting for the following.
Shang Jianyao pulled out his chair and sat down:
"He has a certain understanding of the Awakened and the Awakened..."
He repeated what Zhang Lei said.
"Sure enough, the Awakener's ability directly related to the heart is in the field of Si Ming." Jiang Baimian sighed thoughtfully, "I don't know if I believe in which Zhisui, when I wake up, I will get the corresponding The ability of the domain... Then, if you wake up before you determine your beliefs, what is the basis for determining the characteristics of the ability? Well, Du Heng said that different costs will vaguely map different domains, so, according to the different costs paid? "
Having said this, Jiang Baimian suddenly mentioned:
"Then what is the price of Qiao Chu
"What is the price of Du Heng and Galolan?"
Shang Jianyao replied:
"Not all costs are easy to see.
"If the Pure Law is not said, no one will directly think that the price for him is increased lust.
"I almost exchanged my ability to be single for a lifetime, but it didn't work. This kind of price is useless."
Jiang Baimian was suddenly surprised:
"Doesn't it mean that you just have to pay the price? Does it have to be the price of conforming to certain rules?"
"I don't know." Shang Jianyao was very honest.
Jiang Baimian said "um":
"It's hard to see what's going on in individual cases, unless you try a lot to find the right price."
"Three times, the second time I wanted to use 'no friends' as an exchange, but it didn't work." Shang Jianyao said truthfully.
Jiang Baimian nodded lightly and said:
"Wait until you get to know a few more Awakeneds and understand their failures and successes before you can conclude the rules."
"They won't say it." Shang Jianyao pointed out.
"What if their price is not to lie or to answer any questions?" Jiang Baimian said with a smile.
Then, she thought about it:
"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 price."
Shang Jianyao's eyes moved slightly, and he immediately said:
"So far, all the awakened people I have seen, except for him, have self-controllable abilities."
That is to say, 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 lost a car because of it. He didn't really get rid of it until he used tricks to trick the other party into crossing the river and blowing up the bridge.
A normal awakened person should have stopped being charmed long ago.
Of course, Shang Jianyao can't guarantee that there is no such thing as "indiscriminate passive charm" in the ability given.
"Yes." Jiang Baimian agreed, "It seems that Qiao Chu's charm is probably the price to pay."
Having said this, she suddenly laughed:
"Qiao Chu just became an Awakener, when he was still relatively weak, I don't know what this irreversible passive charm brought him, tsk..."
"Misery." Shang Jianyao skipped possible cases and directly gave a conclusion.
Then he added:
"Before entering the 'Sea of Origins', Qiao Chu's charm would not have such a wide range, and the effect would not be so strong, before overcoming his inner fears one by one."
"What are you thinking?" Jiang Baimian said with a narrow smile, "What I was going to say was that Qiao Chu must be very fond of mosquitoes and these things, and when you stay with him, you won't be afraid of being bitten. Now, has the boundaries of physiological education been expanded again?"
Not giving Shang Jianyao a chance to make a clear answer, she instead said:
"No one would normally pay for 'glamour,' which is not a price at all in the general view.
"So, Qiao Chu should have exchanged 'charm' for the ability... As a result, he didn't expect that he would become a heartthrob, the kind that people and dogs want to go to, um... According to my experience, with Over time, my urge to forcibly assault him gradually became stronger. It is foreseeable that if we stay for another day or two, or even a few hours, we will aggressively and violently assault him.
"It really is the price, miserable..."
"Your physiology education was not bad." Shang Jianyao commented seriously.
"Ah? What did you say?" Jiang Baimian rubbed his ears and said in a serious tone, "Also, we have discussed it before. Judging from the situation at the time, if Qiao Chu showed hostility and behaved viciously, the corresponding target would be charmed. His state will be lifted, and his companions will also be stimulated, to a certain extent, get rid of the influence, uh, except for animals and 'intentional ones'... It seems that there are still quite a few restrictions."
Jiang Baimian thought for a while and said:
"If that's the case, Qiao Chu's third Awakener ability hasn't been shown yet.
"We were cautious in the beginning."
They currently know that Qiao Chu has the ability to frustrate and focus on doing something, the former is scoped, the latter seems to be only one-on-one.
While the two were talking, Long Yuehong and Bai Chen walked in one after another.
Seeing this, Jiang Baimian got up, clapped his hands, and said with a big smile:
"It's answered above!"
Hearing the reward, whether it was Long Yuehong, Bai Chen, or Shang Jianyao, his eyes lit up.
"Stop, don't sing, don't dance!" Jiang Baimian stopped Shang Jianyao in advance and didn't 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 counted together and divided into two parts.
"The first part is that everyone's employee level has been increased by one extra level, that is to say, I am now at the D7 level. The real team leaders, Shang Jianyao and Long Yuehong were originally promoted to D2 level, and now I am at the D2 level. Going directly to D3, Bai Chen was originally a full-time employee, D1, and now he is D2."
"D3?" Long Yuehong exclaimed in surprise, "Isn't that 1,000 more contribution points per month?"
This means that his monthly salary will be 2800 points.
Moreover, when he gets married next year and can be divided into rooms, higher staff levels can be allocated better rooms.
"How many levels can you apply for genetic modification, and if you pay the contribution points yourself?" Bai Chen's face flashed with joy, and soon 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 do not recommend that no matter what you want to do, you can do it while you are alive. ."
Bai Chen nodded slightly, indicating that he would not be so reckless.
Jiang Baimian looked at Shang Jianyao again:
"you are not happy?"
"I'm glad." Shang Jianyao looked serious.
"Forget it, I shouldn't have asked you." Jiang Baimian continued, "The second part is that each person contributes 100,000 compensation points."
"100,000?" Long Yuehong has never seen so many contribution points in his life.
Jiang Baimian laughed and said:
"It's not too much, but we robbed, no, and got back an armored vehicle, a heavy machine gun, a black swamp iron snake skin, and two carts of supplies.
"If these things are sold in places like Wild Grass City, the value will definitely exceed 400,000 contribution points several times.
"But, you should also 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 reasonable for the company to take the big money. Besides, it is not due to the promotion of employee levels. Compensation? This is a little harder than simply taking a contribution."
"It's a lot, a lot." Long Yuehong said that he had no complaints at all.
He wanted to help his parents, younger brother, and younger sister get a bigger room, and it was about 30,000 points.
For Bai Chen, it is an unbreakable truth that the strongest party gets the most spoils, so she doesn't think there is any problem with this.
Shang Jianyao wanted to say something, but no one wanted to hear it.
Next, Jiang Baimian opened the desk drawer and took out three file bags:
"It's all marked with names, and it's a scrutiny that you can have.
"Hehe, the company returned all the watches to us. These are all mechanical watches, which are much more valuable than electronic watches. At least 50,000 to 60,000 contribution points are made. 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, and also, the field allowance of 900 is also directly distributed this time."
While Jiang Baimian was talking, Shang Jianyao took the file bag with his name on it and poured out the contents.
There are 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 blue-bottomed black-faced speaker that almost burst through the document bag.
Bai Chen didn't bother to look at his document bag, looked at Jiang Baimian, and asked with concern:
"Team leader, what happened in Shuiwei Town?"
