“Cough cough cough…”

Jinyi sat down at the desk and coughed twice awkwardly.

Lin Qiye sat opposite him, his expression somewhat subtle, "So, you left me in the archives, saying you were going to take care of something important, which meant going to the gigolo club?"

"Before I left Utopia, I made an appointment with them. I said I would come and have a drink with them after I came back. I am keeping my promise and coming back for an important matter!" Ji Nian said seriously.

Lin Qiye stared at her for a moment and sighed:

"Forget it, it's not the first time I've seen it... I'm used to it when I was in the Japanese 'circle' before.

Compared to this, how is Zhou Ping's situation going?"

Ji Nian coughed a few times, his expression gradually becoming serious: "I came to you for this matter... Do you remember the channel I told you about before, to get information?"

"Remember."

“It’s about to start.”

"'it'?"

"It's a party." Ji Nian said calmly, "It's a special party that only God's agents can participate in."

Lin Qiye's brows raised slightly.

“Agents of gods are indeed rare in Daxia, but they are quite common in the Mist.

There are so many divine kingdoms in the world, and there are always some gods who have special needs and are not convenient to show up themselves, so they find some humans from the "human circle" or other places, give them power, and help themselves achieve certain goals.

According to statistics from our Shangxie Society, there are currently fifty or sixty traceable agents of gods who have appeared in the fog.

These agents of the gods come from different kingdoms of the gods, and possess different intelligence, information, or some of the special products of the kingdoms of the gods. Every other year, some of them will agree to hold a secret meeting somewhere to trade with each other and get what they need. "

I slapped the table in memory of this and thought of a very vivid metaphor:

“Let me put it this way. If we compare the gods of the various kingdoms of God to the concubines in the harem of an ancient emperor, then this gathering is a group of the concubines’ personal maids gossiping in private.

Which concubine is pregnant again, which concubine has fallen out of favor, and which concubine's canary is lost...

Here, you can hear all kinds of strange gossip in the harem, but you need to pay some price, such as treasures, or news of the same level. "

Lin Qiye: ...

What kind of brain circuit does one have to come up with such a weird metaphor?

Lin Qiye secretly complained and said, "So, do you think I can find clues about Zhou Ping here?"

"Zhou Ping is the only Great Xia Sword Immortal who has become a god. Wherever he goes, he will become the focus of attention. Since he has been active in Olympus recently and there are so many god agents in Olympus, there will always be someone who knows something about him."

Lin Qiye nodded slightly. "It sounds good... But don't the God's agents represent the God behind them? There should be conflicts of interest between them. Can they really communicate so peacefully?"

"You overestimate the relationship between gods and their agents." Ji Nian shook his head and said, "Most gods and their agents are just mutually beneficial. Gods use their agents as tools to achieve their goals, and agents use gods as a source of strength.

Of course, there are many exceptions, such as you and Michael, there is no exchange of interests at all... Some gods even simply treat agents as playthings. "

The faces of Loki and Si Xiaonan appeared in Jinian's mind.

She paused and continued, “There are indeed conflicts of interest between agents, but those are their private affairs and have nothing to do with the gods behind them. Even if there are conflicts, they rarely appear at gatherings. After all, if you annoy other agents, you can easily be attacked by the crowd.

At such gatherings, everyone is here for business purposes, so the lower the profile, the better. "

"I see. Where is the party? When should I go?"

"The gathering place changes every year, but it's not difficult for us at the Shangxie Society to find out about this kind of thing... This year's location is not too far from here. I'll give you the map later, and I'll have He Lin go with you tomorrow afternoon."

"Is he also God's agent?" Lin Qiye asked in surprise.

"No, but each agent can bring one follower into the venue. The follower will not participate in discussions or transactions and can only wait outside," Ji Nian explained.

"This kind of gathering has many secret rules and agreements. You have no experience, and it is easy to get into trouble if you go there rashly. He knows a lot of intelligence, which can come in handy at a critical moment."

"Okay." Lin Qiye nodded.

…

The next afternoon.

Lin Qiye walked to the central tower of Utopia as promised, and He Lin had been waiting there for a long time.

Since only agents of gods can participate in the party, Baili Pangpang, Cao Yuan, An Qingyu and others cannot go and can only wait for his news in [Utopia].

"We meet again so soon." Lin Qiye said with a smile, "How should we get there?"

"There's a special ascent submarine up there, I'll operate it."

He Lin walked to a certain floor of the central tower with ease, input a command, and opened a pixel door.

In the spacious and bright space, a circular pool appeared in front of Lin Qiye and the others.

He Lin clicked a few times on the control panel, and the surface of the pool began to shake rapidly. A few seconds later, a black pixel submarine surfaced. On the side of the submarine, a unique three-digit number was sprayed.

"How many submarines like this do you have?" Lin Qiye asked curiously.

"Not many, probably more than 500." He Lin said while doing the inspection work, "But they are not usually used. When there is an important mission, we always take the chairman's cruise ship. These small submarines were once the chairman's trial works before he built [Utopia]."

Lin Qiye followed He Lin, climbed into the submarine, closed the hatch, and as the submarine started, the two gradually sank into the deep sea.

This submarine is not big, but it is more than enough to accommodate two people. Through the periscope installed in the cabin, Lin Qiye can see the deep sea water rolling in front of him as if it is endless.

Under He Lin's control, the pixel submarine rose steadily, then hovered for a moment to allow the hull to adapt to the change in water pressure, and continued to rise...

About twenty minutes later, [Utopia] completely disappeared from Lin Qiye's sight, and their position was gradually approaching the sea surface.

When the upper part of the submarine surfaced, Lin Qiye reached out and opened the hatch.

He climbed out of the hatch and stood on the surface of the submarine. He was surrounded by mist and there was no end in sight at first glance.
