Chapter 579 Contact
"Very good, I see. So, how is the recruitment of 'that kind of people' going?"
Glancing at the crystal ball on the table, Anvis nodded slightly, and then returned his gaze to Garverman.
"According to your instructions, the Chamber of Commerce will absorb many people who are suspected to have qualifications every day, including ordinary people and low-level professionals, but there are currently no candidates who have performed well enough.
Due to the large number of people, the monthly salary paid to them has reached nearly 200,000 gold coins, which has brought great financial pressure to the operation of the Chamber of Commerce. "
As he spoke, the middle-aged vice president instinctively stroked the corner of his mustache, his tone a little hesitant.
"The Chamber of Commerce is already overstaffed, and the value they create for the Chamber of Commerce does not seem to be worth this number."
"Then, let's continue to expand the scale of the Chamber of Commerce."
Hearing Garverman's complaints, Anvis shook his head indifferently.
"We don't have to focus only on those powerful kingdoms and large main cities. Many medium-sized cities in the Kingdom Federation also need to establish Black Ring Chamber of Commerce branches. This will free up a lot of positions, and we can assign those people there.
In addition, kingdoms that are at war can also arrange for branches to be stationed there, and the staff can be recruited from local people with qualifications."
"But... this will bring extremely high operational risks to the Chamber of Commerce. If the city is breached in the war, we will suffer heavy losses, and it is also likely to cause backlash and suppression from local forces. Please consider it carefully!"
Hearing Anvis's almost whimsical arrangement, Garverman was shocked and hurriedly tried to dissuade him.
"It doesn't matter. High risks will bring enough rewards. This matter is settled. You can now discuss the details with other management personnel.
If any local forces try to stop us during our expansion, just notify the Security Department to handle it. I will give you the highest authority, including the mobilization of the elimination force."
Anvis was not moved at all. He found a random reason to settle the matter and issued an order to expel the guest.
To him, gold coins were just a string of numbers. In order to serve his plan, he didn't care about possible losses at all.
"Very well, your will, Master Raphael."
After receiving Avis' unquestionable order, the middle-aged man stopped dissuading him, but bowed again and then respectfully left the study.
After watching his men leave, Avis touched the crystal ball with his mental power and quickly read the information recorded in it.
There is not much to say about the process of the federal conference. The congressmen go through the motions, submit bills, express their opinions, and then vote by raising their hands, and then they do not pass them.
So a bill was temporarily shelved and piled up together with the many bills that had been shelved over the past few hundred years, waiting to be rejected again one day in the future.
However, the three major forces on the continent are preparing to jointly hold a high-level meeting, which means that the arrival of Maelim's mind projection will have a more serious impact on the Yar continent than Avis expected.
Although the projection disappeared, Maelim's power did not disappear. Just like the land where high-concentration nuclear waste was once stored, even if the waste is removed one day, the radiation will still continue to exist.
The radiation of Maelim's power has already had a serious impact on the continent and even directly changed part of the ecosystem.
Whether it is the [overlapping areas] that appear in various places, or the large number of people whose bodies show dream characteristics, they have had a great impact on the situation.
Especially within the Itel Federation, there were millions of people trapped in the construction network during the battle between Anvis and the former Speaker.
Because they were sacrificed by the Speaker and directly fell into the dark dream of Maelim's power, they were the most severely affected.
Although Anvis succeeded in dealing with the former speaker and used the Secret Book of the Old Days to extract the power of Maelim, the people who came into contact with the power of Maelim in the construct network could not really pretend that nothing had happened.
According to the statistics of the parliament, three months after the construct network failure incident ended, about 40% of the network users who came into contact with the power of Maelim showed varying degrees of abnormal mental state.
Among them, 80% are ordinary people and low-level professionals.
Many people began to become less talkative, looking at others as if they were a group of aliens and ants. They no longer worked hard to make a living every day, but silently performed some strange actions and rituals, and finally fell into a deep sleep.
But in addition to those who have serious mental problems, there are also many people who have acquired benign mutations, such as a sudden surge in dream talent, or some unique powers.
The incident between Harvey and the actress is not an isolated case. Due to the large base, the impact of this incident is more far-reaching than anyone imagined.
The Council gave those affected by Maelim's power a code name, "Contactees."
These people are the second special group on the mainland that has received widespread attention after the arrival of many foreigners.
The contacts may mutate into terrifying abilities, or just meaningless abilities, but their potential has attracted the attention of many people.
What Anvis had discussed with his deputy before was the matter of recruiting these people.
Avis tapped the table lightly with his white-gloved index finger. After thinking for a moment, he decided to once again increase investment and exploration in this area.
Due to the Gray Mist's previous attempt to break through with the help of Maelim's coming, the web of destiny of the continent was significantly affected.
This resulted in the fate of those millions of contacts being directly caught up in the web of fate.
In other words, among these contacts, there will definitely emerge in the future a protagonist of the era who represents this group.
Avis was trying to establish contact with this person before other prophets did.
The prophecy is invalid because his destiny line has not yet awakened. In other words, the "protagonist" has not yet been truly born, and everyone can only try their luck by casting a wide net.
After arranging his men to handle all matters related to recruiting contacts and developing the Chamber of Commerce, Raphael's tasks were basically completed.
By the time he had basically dealt with the Black Ring Chamber of Commerce's affairs, the matter of the Man in the Mirror had also been almost dealt with.
The Man in the Mirror holds a completely sinecure position in the Alliance of Glory, and his daily duties are not as busy as Avis's original life in the academy.
It was nothing more than keeping an eye on recent developments and stirring up Mrs. Mandel's emotions on a daily basis.
After walking around outside publicly and expressing that he had not been beaten to death, Avis' consciousness returned to the dream world.
After releasing the girl's body, Avis looked at his pocket watch again.
At this moment, the time on the watch was less than five minutes away from twelve o'clock.
