Chapter 92. Unnatural Phenomena Investigation Bureau Trust

     Ye Mo is not paying attention to the survivor app for the time being, and has switched to other apps for takeout. The significant improvement in attributes can easily lead to hunger.

     I have to say that the fragrant white rice is really delicious, the hot and sour fish soup and hot and sour noodles are also very tasty, and the pearl milk tea is rich and sweet. Modern home-cooked dishes are much better than those in the Warring States period. Only after losing can you know how to cherish. It is still beautiful in the 21st century.

     At the same time, the excitement of the survivor forum can’t stop at all.

     As of now, the Zhangsan Group is the only organization openly recruiting new members. It’s almost entirely backed by the Chinese government, with a recruitment hotline at 8688888. In fact, preparations were already underway shortly after the establishment of the Unnatural Investigation Bureau, but they were simply waiting for a suitable opportunity to publicly recruit.

     Even the template for the forum customer service to answer questions comes from the exchanges with Wang Qi, no, Zhou Qi and other survivors.

     It’s just that the current customer service only replies to one question once, and repeated questions are no longer updated. Private messages are also replied to one question per account at most, because the Unnatural Investigation Bureau has passed the primary stage of being extremely short of survivors.

     Behind them are more than 4,000 survivor teams, from witches to elementalists.

     A survivor in the forum: “Will someone really call for consultation? Isn’t this door-to-door delivery?”

     Answer: Yes, there are, and quite a few.

     In the Beijing Xiaoxishan Unnatural Investigation Bureau, there is a customer service room that has just been online. No one usually calls, but today at around 3 pm, the number of calls for consultation continued.

     Half of the calls are from abroad and half are from China.

     Most calls from abroad are for trouble. Customer service staff mostly only write down the continent and city to calculate the world distribution rate data. If the troublemaker is too bad, they can find out more detailed names or addresses through local Chinese in various countries, and there will always be a chance to teach them how to behave.

     There are three types of domestic calls:

    [First, the troublemakers who are not going to join the group, their personal information will be obtained by the Unnatural Investigation Bureau at the first time, and they will be on the local bureau’s key attention list, because such people are likely to cause trouble.

     Second, for survivors who are hesitant about whether to join, customer service staff will patiently answer their questions and invite them, and give appropriate comfort to survivors who are uneasy and afraid of confusion.

     Contrary to some people’s expectations, Zhang San is not willing to fulfill all requests. Outrageous demands such as assigning boyfriends or girlfriends are not provided and are even warned to be illegal.

     Third, the survivors who have decided to join the Unnatural Phenomena Investigation Bureau were sincerely welcomed by the customer service, who guided them through the joining process, and any extraordinary requests such as assigning a boyfriend or girlfriend are not provided.]

     The third type of survivors are mostly reservists in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Period. Many people in the barracks were trained by Captain Zhang San. It was pleasant to get along with them, and they had a life-and-death friendship of defending the city together.

     These people all want to talk to Zhang San, Li Si, and Wang Wu. No, Deputy Director of the Investigation Bureau Zhang Qihua, Agent Lin Feibin, and Agent Yuan Yuan and they want to communicate directly. There is no 100% pattern in the names of the agents.

     “General Zhang/Captain Li/Captain Wang, is the young lady in the group?”

     “She’s not.”

     “What a pity.”

     –The above are the must-ask questions and answers for every communication. There are many people who want the big boss to lead them.

     Some people were still thinking about Wang Qi and the others. Zhang Qihua responded that they were resting and it was inconvenient to answer the phone.

     “???”

     The reserve was puzzled.

     Other agents, especially Wang Qi, were really resting and chatting with a psychologist for counseling. The blow suffered by ordinary people was one person, but the blow suffered by the agents could be multiplied by a thousand times.

     On February 21, 14:22:53, 6821 agents closed their eyes at the same time and entered the dungeon.

     On February 21, 14:22:53:500 milliseconds, 4901 agents opened their eyes and successfully passed the dungeon. The remaining 1920 agents failed to pass the dungeon and died of sudden cardiac death.

     The clearance rate of Chinese agents is much higher than that of ordinary people, but when the cold numbers become colleagues and are placed in front of people, they understand how cruel and cold the survivor APP is.

     Wang Qi, no, the middle school boy Zhou Qi, who had just said goodbye to his companions in the dungeon with a smile, cried so hard that his eyes and nose were covered with snot, and even the director Ma Guotao’s eyes were red.

     All groups in the world will basically encounter such things. Today’s colleagues may be separated by life and death tomorrow. This is the first real test in the national team.

     “Salute!”

     Compared to ordinary people who are free, groups can better understand the preciousness of life and the importance of becoming a strong person. If there are 100 Mi Wenjing among the agents, they may encounter different scenes now.

     In the final analysis

     -The team is not strong enough!

     There is only one Mi Wenjing, and there are countless dungeons. The agents must all align with Mi Wenjing, otherwise they will still be waiting for death in the next dungeon and the next dungeon.

     Not only the Chinese team, but also teams from other countries have discovered the same thing at the same time, and the mortality rate may be higher than that of the Chinese team, especially two or three civilian groups. The reason why these groups have not advertised so far is that the casualties are a bit higher than expected, but their numbers are not as large as those of China, or they are not as professional as Chinese agents.

…

     Time is urgent.

     Zhang Qihua sent more than 4,000 agents to “rest”, and only one agent was allowed to stay. Lin Feibin and Yuan Yuan took the initiative to stay later because of customer service communication problems.

     At 2:28, Bureau Chief Ma Guotao and his team, including other agents, historians, folklorists, mathematicians, and physicists, initiated the first meeting of the second phase.

     Important topics of the meeting include the future development direction of the Unnatural Phenomena Investigation Bureau, the initial classification of existing talents in the Unnatural Phenomena Investigation Bureau, social issues related to survivors, and information on top strongmen survivor such as Mi Wenjing.

     Not to mention the world copy, there are many things waiting for them to dig in the Chinese copy, such as the lost ruins of the Xia Dynasty, the history of the pre-Qin Dynasty, the ruins of Chuyang City, etc. They can compare the past and the present. 

     For agents, the clearance rate of Doomsday copies is higher than that of non-Doomsday copies.

     Among all the copies, there is no doubt that the Spring and Autumn Period and Warring States Period China copy has the most rewards.

     Using a red marker, the historian and Yuan Yuan worked together to pinpoint the approximate location of Chu Yang City on a map of Hubei Province.

     When the Spring and Autumn and Warring States copy became popular in the survivor forum, the meeting was terminated for the first time. After a brief exchange, the recruitment phone number 8688888 appeared in the forum, and the cooperation phone number 866666 was specially prepared for a very small number of people.

     Especially Mi Wenjing, Watson and other survivors who had cooperated with them could also contact them. The naming method they chose when entering the copy was just to advertise it.

     Other groups have started to have their own emblems. For example, in the Arthurian legend of Merlin, the emblem is based on Arthur’s hand with the names of the Twelve Knights of the Round Table surrounding it, and Merlin also appears prominently. I wonder if they would feel awkward if they ever encountered the King Arthur and Merlin from Celtic mythology in the future copy?

     In short, according to reason, with Mi Wenjing’s wisdom, it is not difficult to guess their purpose, but after an hour, there is still no information.

     “Maybe she didn’t pay attention to the forum?”

     “Maybe, maybe she was studying props, or she was delayed by things in real life.”

     “What do you think about Mi Wenjing?”

     “A woman aged between 25 and 45, with the distinctive feature of being highly nearsighted. She is courageous, resourceful, intelligent, principled, and possesses strong leadership skills. She has a deep understanding of science and engineering, as well as a strong command of literature. She is not skilled in the arts. Her potential professions include science or engineering educator, researcher, engineer in fields such as mechanical, automotive, electrical, materials, or civil engineering, a current PhD student or postdoctoral researcher, a high-level corporate executive, or a government official——”

     “Government official?”

     “Isn’t it true that, historically, most leaders, from the top down, have come from engineering backgrounds?”

     “… Makes sense.”

     They can at least list a million and tens of millions of people, and this is because Mi Wenjing is a woman. In short, 80% of them are successful women in their careers.

     The Unnatural Investigation Bureau will check Mi Wenjing’s identity, but it will not be open and aboveboard.

     First, the other party did not express her willingness to join the national team, and they could not force a strong person. Second, although Mi Wenjing’s joining would be beneficial to the Unnatural Investigation bureau, the Unnatural Investigation bureau could not put the future on a strong person, and could not rely on one person. They were a team.

…

     Just when the meeting was a little off topic, an anonymous account called “Xia Li Ba Ren” finally appeared, bringing the information they wanted to see, “Do you need to customize the Mohist mechanism?”

     Every message of the survivor app will be entered into the computer, and Xia Li Ba Ren’s previous action trajectory has been revealed, including several messages she posted under Maria in the second round asking for a sword.

     Is this an indirect explanation that Mi Wenjing’s second copy has little to do with the mechanism?

     Zhang Qihua: “Yáng Chūn Bái Xuě, Xia Li Ba Ren^[1]阳春白雪 (yáng chūn bái xuě): This idiom refers to refined, highbrow culture or art, often appreciated by a small, educated audience. It’s like saying “highbrow” or … Continue reading, she is Wang Xue.”

   【Of course, ps: Zhang San. 】

   【I am Wang Xue. 】

   【Sister Jing said that you can list the Mohist organs in the dungeon that the team needs, and she will give you a list of what can be made, and then you can prepare the materials yourself. After the organ is successfully made, she will charge you a labor fee – half of the points in the system mall. 】

     【The first batch of the list is just a sign of cooperation, Can you compile it within three days? 】

   【Okay, thank you. 】

     Zhang Qihua and Yuan Yuan were very excited, and explained the importance of Mohist organ techniques to Ma Guotao and others.

     First, testing instruments are necessary.

     With the test array, they can know the five elements talents of the agents, even if they are not survivors, and after the test, Zhang Qihua can customize the exercises for them, and the exercises can be based on Mi Wenjing’s reference suggestions.

    Second, internal cultivation type organs.

     Five elements array, medicinal bath array and other internal cultivation organs.

     Third, external cultivation organs.

     This is to help cultivate internal force agents, or high attribute agents. They need martial arts training mechanisms to learn to control strength and agility. Ordinary training rooms cannot withstand their tossing.

     Fourth, offensive and defensive mechanisms.

     This doesn’t need explanation, it’s equivalent to a precious item produced by the system, with all kinds of weapons and hidden weapons.

     These are essential items required by the Unnatural Phenomena Investigation Bureau and cannot produce by themselves. Other non-essentials may be needed in the future and can be discussed then.

     “Can it be half of the points?”

     “The system’s basic materials, like ore, wood, and other non-spiritual items, have a point value that doesn’t exceed 30. Spiritual stones are more expensive: low-grade spiritual stones are 100 points, mid-grade are 500, and high-grade are 1500. The minimum cost for a testing mechanism is 800 points, with no upper limit. The price in the system’s store starts at 3000 points.”

     “By crafting your own, you could save at least 3000-(800+1500)= 700 points can be saved.”

     The survivor system in the second round of internal testing is more generous. A reserve survivor with an A rating has only 1000 points, and there are more than 4000 reserve survivor, and less than 100 with an A rating.

     Ma Guotao: “But what if it fails?”

     Zhang Qihua: “Mi Wenjing is very strong!”

     Wang Xue has already said the first batch of lists, Mi Wenjing’s meaning is that they can try first, their cooperation should be long-term, and unlike Maria who makes weapons, Mi Wenjing takes a customized route, and the mechanism is indeed more suitable for customization.
