"Annual rating, Seventh Sage B, first place."
Nuwa announced the result with a smile and applauded to express congratulations.
The other nine sages remained silent. They knew that the Heart of Numbers was absolutely fair, but out of instinct, they could not help but doubt the so-called achievements of the Seventh Sage.
The sages are not innocent boys, they have no belief in protecting the human race. Being a sage is just a way to make profits for themselves.
It is very important to note that sages are not constrained.
The sages are also accustomed to abusing their power for personal gain and using their authority to do their own things.
As for the tasks issued by Nuwa, the sages all tacitly did a few of them to maintain a balance.
The evaluation criteria of the Digital Heart are relative, that is, the median value of all sages is used for calculation. As long as no one works hard, everyone can get by easily.
Suddenly, the Seventh Sage appeared and won the first place in the annual rating. It looked like the Data Heart was indirectly expressing its dissatisfaction with them.
In the private channel of the sages, the Ninth Sage publicly said: "I suspect that the Seventh Sage is a virtual character created by the Data Heart to raise the scoring standards and stimulate us to work harder."
"Catfish effect?"
The Second Sage found it a little funny: "The catfish effect itself is an old joke. The Seventh Sage cannot be a catfish, and we are certainly not sardines."
"I think what the Ninth Sage said is right. How could a Seventh Sage suddenly appear? It is reasonable that it was created by the Data Heart."
Another sage agreed, saying that the Seventh Sage was truly too weird.
"We have been investigating for a year and have not found anything. This is not normal..."
"Nuwa clearly favors the Seventh Sage, and it is even more certain that they are related."
"If the Seventh Sage is a fictional character, should Nuwa keep her distance from him?"
"Nuwa deliberately did the opposite!"
Sages are all extremely intelligent people, each of them is determined and has his own judgment on things.
A group of wise men each hold their own opinions, and no one can convince others.
The First Sage said, "Stop arguing. If the Seventh Sage is a virtual character created by the Data Heart, there will always be flaws. There is no need to discuss it now.
"The Seventh Sage alone cannot change our pace. We don't need to worry about him. So what if we give him the first place in the ranking..."
That being said, the Ninth Sage was very dissatisfied. According to the rules agreed upon by the sages, it was his turn to take first place in the ranking this year.
The seventh sage suddenly appeared, took away the first place in the rating, and also snatched away the benefits he deserved. For the sage, the reward of the first place in the annual rating was also very tempting.
This is also the way Data Heart motivates the sages. However, the sages have fallen and formed a stubborn circle. If the rewards are redistributed, this kind of reward will lose its motivating effect.
The Ninth Sage expressed his strong dissatisfaction, but received no response, so he left in anger.
The other sages found it boring and dispersed.
The Tenth Sage did not leave, because he received a secret letter from the Seventh Sage, asking to talk to him alone.
The Tenth Sage was very curious and wondered what the Seventh Sage wanted to talk to him about.
Although many sages are hostile to the Seventh Sage, from a personal point of view, there is no need to regard the Seventh Sage as a mortal enemy. As long as the other party can provide benefits, everyone can be friends.
The Tenth Sage saw Nuwa talking to the Seventh Sage. He sent a message to the Seventh Sage and went to the side hall to wait for the other party.
Gao Xuan was busy choosing prizes. The generous prizes made him a little dazzled.
"The fruit of the lightning berry. If you take it, there is a high chance that your genes will be transformed, giving you the ability to control powerful lightning. (Gold level)
Yunguang sword, a golden energy level sword.
Wishing Stone, with a high chance of increasing the energy level of a rare item. (Not effective for gold-level rare items)
The World-Destroying Spear, one of the Angel King's set. A golden-level item.
… ”
There are hundreds of prizes given by Nuwa, each of which is very precious.
The most precious of them is undoubtedly the World-Destroying Spear. Gao Xuan was greatly surprised. Could a prize of this level be used as a prize
Even if the Mohist Temple is wealthy, it cannot afford to send one every year.
Gao Xuan asked Nuwa with some doubt: "Can I choose any one?"
Nuwa smiled and said, "Brother, I am good to you. This is a special care for you. Other sages are not qualified to get prizes of this level."
As an administrator, Nuwa was very unhappy with other sages, but she had no power to restrain them.
We can only learn how to allocate resources.
There is a range for the rewards for the top-ranked ones. Nuwa gives the lowest reward to the sages, and the highest reward to Gao Xuan.
The difference here is huge.
Just like the silver and gold items, there is only one level difference, but the power is very different. Not to mention that items of the same level also have differences in quality.
With Nuwa's operation, the reward for the top-ranked player is still very attractive. Therefore, the sages will have to redistribute this reward internally.
Gao Xuan pointed at the World-Destroying Gun without hesitation, "I want this one."
Nuwa smiled even more happily: "This is the most powerful item in the Angel King Set. The best in destroying the world! You can take it away if you add another 500,000 points."
"I knew it… "
Gao Xuan knew that there was no such thing as a free lunch. Although Nuwa was nice to him, she would not take care of him to such an extreme degree.
After all, Nuwa is not his biological mother. Even if she is, this treatment is beyond the ordinary.
Gold-level rare items are also divided into different grades.
There is no doubt that no matter how it is classified, the World-Destroying Gun is the top-level golden treasure.
Although the statement that he is the first to destroy the world is exaggerated, it does make some sense.
Gao Xuan also had to admit that Nuwa was really kind to only ask him for 500,000 points.
If you really count it, it's just killing a hundred fish-turning dragons. As long as there is time, it's not difficult for Gao Xuan to collect 500,000 points.
But he really can't take it out now.
Nuwa knew that he wanted the Angel King suit, and she deliberately placed the World-Destroying Gun in front of him in order to seduce him.
"What do you want?" Gao Xuan asked.
"It's very simple. Just exchange your information for it."
Nuwa said with a smile: "Sister will not let you suffer any loss. I will evaluate the value of the information and give you a good price."
Gao Xuan sighed: "I was just talking casually at the time, but sister took it seriously."
"Whatever you want. You won't have that option next time."
Nuwa looked indifferent, and Gao Xuan could only sigh.
He did know the tenth sage, and if he used all means he could probably get 500,000 points.
However, it is still troublesome. The Tenth Sage is not a fool. If too much is revealed, he will definitely be suspected.
Gao Xuan pointed at the wishing stone decisively: "I want this stone."
Nuwa was a little surprised: "You don't want the World-Destroying Gun anymore?"
"I can't bear it."
Gao Xuan liked the World-Destroying Spear, but in Bai Yutang's current state, she couldn't even control the Wings of Holy Light, let alone the World-Destroying Spear.
Collecting the set is very rewarding, but there is nothing you can do if you can't use it.
He could use the World-Destroying Spear, but the World-Destroying Spear and his methods were very different. It was far less useful than the God-Slaying Sword and the Hongyi Sword.
Therefore, it is better to choose the most practical wishing stone.
Gao Xuan rejected the temptation, which made Nuwa a little depressed. She snorted: "There won't be such a good thing next time."
"When will you give me the wishing stone?"
"I'll send it to you by express."
Nuwa was so angry that she didn't want to talk and just disappeared.
Gao Xuan was a little amused, but he was still very happy to get a wishing stone for nothing, even though he failed to get the World-Destroying Gun.
He told himself not to think too much, that thing is just awesome, but it is not very useful. Zhan Shen and Hong Yi are good kids, obedient and useful.
Gao Xuan arrived at the side hall and saw the Tenth Sage sitting on a chair.
Seeing Gao Xuan coming in, the Tenth Sage nodded slightly. He pointed to the chair beside him and motioned Gao Xuan to sit down.
The tenth sage sat in the main seat, and the position pointed out to Gao Xuan was within his reach.
The Tenth Sage was very patient. He also spoke, but he was just looking at Gao Xuan, waiting for Gao Xuan to speak first.
Gao Xuan was silent for a moment and then said, "Sir Tenth Sage, I know who you are."
The Tenth Sage was startled; his mask and sage robe concealed all his emotions.
He was silent for a moment and then said, "Is that what you are talking to me about?"
The identity of the sage is of course top secret. However, his sage comes from the inheritance of the previous generation. The inheritance line is clear.
The same was true for most other sages. Everyone had a rough estimate of each other's identities.
However, the Seventh Sage should never know his identity.
The tenth sage did not ask the reason, which showed that he did not care.
No matter whether the other party really knows or is just trying to trick him, he cannot follow the other party's rhythm.
Gao Xuan could understand the Tenth Sage's thoughts, and he said, "Sir Hercules, I have something important to discuss with you."
When the Tenth Sage was called by his real name, he suddenly fell silent. The other party knew him very well, but he knew nothing about the Seventh Sage.
There is information asymmetry between the two parties, so no matter what he says next, he will inevitably be put in a passive position.
But he couldn't just walk away. That wouldn't solve the problem.
Hercules was silent for a long time before he said, "What do you want?"
He didn't ask the other party's identity, it was a complete waste of time.
Hercules' attitude was calm and steady.
Gao Xuan also nodded secretly. This arrogant man actually has some abilities.
He said, "I mean no harm, and I don't mean to threaten you by saying your name. I just want to tell you something very important. I want to make it clear that I am serious before I do so."
"I have my own judgment." Hercules said in a cold tone. He didn't like this way of talking.
"That's it..."
Gao Xuan told Hercules what happened, but Hercules did not respond.
"Goodbye, Sir Hercules."
Gao Xuan nodded slightly and disappeared into a stream of data.
Hercules looked at the scattered 0/1 data light with a deep look in his eyes...
