The future number one?
Everyone was stunned when they heard this, but An Nan did not continue. Instead, he turned around and introduced the Gospel.
“The Gospel is a gift from the omniscient Lord and the foundation of gospel civilization. The omniscient Lord has not been stingy with His glory, allowing us to listen to the most authentic gospel, confirm our talents, and find our own position.”
"The ranking list is the way the Weaver Master spurs and rewards the world."
"According to statistics, there are currently a total of 3,788 lists, including general lists, regional lists, individual lists, and organizational lists. They not only cover all magic factions, but also various common professions and special deeds." An Nan said, "For example, the 'Azura Mission List' is a list of the firms that have completed the most tasks in the Azura region and performed the best. My funeral firm ranks 9th, which is considered the top firm in Azura. For example, the 'Brave Acts List', 'Diva List', and 'Crossing Rope List', even ordinary people who are not magicians can be on the list."
At this time, everyone couldn't help but look at the only magician who was not on the list. The latter directly covered his face with the gospel, drying up the silence and regretting impulsively.
Igulla raised his hand and asked, “Is there a list related to inventing new equipment, popularizing advanced tools, transforming cities, and improving citizens’ lives?”
"The list of cutting-edge inventions, the list of enterprises, and the list of comprehensive cities." An Nan glanced at the second-floor city outside the French window: "I roughly understand what you want to ask, Panji, has Azula changed a lot in the past few decades?"
"Miss, sixty years ago, Azula still had dry toilets; thirty years ago, it was not a second-tier city."
The young butler at the side sighed in a sophisticated manner: "When I was a child, I never thought that one day I would see an upside-down high-rise building."
“Because the competition for the list is fierce, new inventions, new tools, and new designs are emerging from all angles of the gospel kingdom every minute and every second, and then quickly enter the application level, become reality, and transform the world.”
Is it really because of the institutional advantages?
Although the research institute system of the Blood Moon Kingdom is already quite good, all the immortal species are engaged in research, which not only ensures that the leading figures can play a role for a long time, but also will not be eager for quick success and can calm down to do basic research that has no short-term returns. In fact, the Blood Moon Kingdom is indeed a developed country with abundant material resources, otherwise it would be impossible to come up with a social support system.
But compared to the Gospel Kingdom that advocates competition, the group of vampire bats still seems too conservative. Perhaps a thousand years ago, the Blood Moon Kingdom and the Gospel Kingdom were not much different, but the former only relied on the long-term cultivation of a few immortal species, while the latter was a comprehensive competition at the social level. It is natural that there is a huge gap after a thousand years.
Igula asked, "The reward for being on a list that is so important to both the organization and the individual must be very generous, right?"
"Points." An Nan nodded. "Compared to gold and silver, points are the hard currency of the Gospel Kingdom. As long as you have enough points, you can get everything you want."
"everything?"
"Everything." An Nan stretched out her hand, and the next second, a bunch of fresh grapes suddenly appeared in her hand. She took a grape in her mouth and gently bit the juice inside: "For example, you can use your points to get a bunch of fresh iced grapes."
"All physical objects, all magical spirits, all miracles, anything you can think of, you can get it as long as you spend enough points. But there are a few restrictions, such as not harming others and not committing illegal acts."
"But the Gospel can still do things like extend lifespan, heal near-death injuries, instantly move to a target location, and obtain a rare four-winged magic spirit."
“It’s expensive, isn’t it?”
"It's ridiculously expensive." An Nan laughed and said, "The actual purchasing power of the points consumed by this bunch of grapes is enough for me to buy a grape farm. Shenyin, come and eat some grapes."
Ash and the others were wondering who she was calling, when suddenly a cream-colored lizard popped out from her shoulder, with a pair of lively vertical pupils rolling around, looking very cute. It smacked its mouth a few times, and the bunch of grapes was reduced to only the branches, without a single grape left.
The magicians couldn't see clearly its eating movements!
"Scarlet Golden Dragon Lizard." Igula whispered softly.
"Endangered species?" Ash asked.
"It's not an endangered species, but it simply doesn't exist in reality." Harvey explained, "I remember that this is a special creature in the Time Continent. After recognizing its master, it can travel to reality with its master. When it takes risks in the virtual world, it can help its master catch escaped magic spirits. It is a very precious pet."
Compared to the 'real achievements' such as the large flat, the office, and the friendship with the Red Hat, it was the 'virtual achievement' of the Scarlet Golden Dragon Lizard that finally made the three stowaways take An Nan's personal strength seriously - the world of magicians is so simple, being powerful in reality is not considered powerful, only being powerful in the virtual world is considered truly strong.
In a sense, magicians are like a group of game geeks who play real-life role-playing games, except that their abilities in the 'game' can also be effective in reality.
An Nan stroked the dragon lizard's head and said, "The real use of points is to buy the 'gospel' that guides you, that is, intelligence and knowledge."
"For example, if you can't make progress in your magic, you spend points to seek guidance, and the gospel will tell you how to work harder next; for example, if your research experiment reaches a bottleneck, the gospel will tell you where the problem is; for example, if you don't know what your talent is, the gospel will inspire your true potential; for example, you can verify whether the other person is lying..."
Ash, the 'Mudblood who steals magic power', was fine, but this gospel seemed to be similar to Baidu Zhihu, and Igula and Harvey were already confused at this moment.
As true magicians, how could they not know the value of this kind of "guidance". If the Gospel was really created by the Lord God, it means that everyone in this country has a Lord God grandfather who guides them. This, this...
The Blood Moon Kingdom is garbage. From now on, I am a gospel person!
Igula asked with a trembling voice: "So what is the ratio of magicians here?"
"Because the 'School Comprehensive Ranking' takes into account the healthy growth of students, the proportion of magicians has been declining over the past few decades." An Nan flipped through her gospel book. "The current proportion is 10.19%."
"One out of every ten people is a magician..." Harvey murmured, "The corpse resources here are of such high quality..."
"Although it may sound strange, you should not think too highly of our magicians." An Nan spread his hands and said, "I guess you are not considered as very powerful two-wing magicians in your country, right? However, in a place like ours where the proportion of magicians is very high, you are still ranked first and second, which is enough to explain the problem."
“For the whole, the gospel is of course of great benefit; but for individuals, the gospel is a double-edged sword that needs to be used with caution.”
"Autonomous learning ability." Ash hit the nail on the head. "If you are used to subconsciously seeking the gospel when you encounter difficulties, your autonomous learning ability will only gradually decline, and eventually you will even reach a point where you can no longer make any progress without the guidance of the gospel. It's like a house cat that was raised to be a pig. Because its life is too good, it will eventually be chased by mice."
"That's right," An Nan grabbed the dragon lizard's paw and played with it. "We magicians are divided into 'Gospel Magicians' and 'Silence Magicians'. Because there are only zero and countless times to listen to the guidance of the Gospel, the Gospel Magicians usually stop at the second wing and it is difficult for them to make any progress in the faction realm. Even if the Gospel Book instructs them on how to work hard, it is difficult for them to break through."
"To become a condensed three-winged magician, one must be a silent magician who has never heard of the gospel."
"For example, the 'Crying Sand Red Hat' Cleos you just met, she never listened to other gospels except asking whether her destined lover was born."
Ash was shocked: "You can even ask about love!?"
"Of course, but it often doesn't happen." An Nan shrugged. "For example, I don't have one now. The so-called destined lovers are those who fall deeply in love with each other at first sight. There is no need for any adjustment. Once they meet, they will never be separated. It is a miracle of fate. Many people never fall in love in their entire lives. They would rather wait for their destined lovers, but in the end they never wait until they die."
Ash murmured, "There is such a good thing as destiny assigning a lover..."
Harvey said to Liz, "It looks like you won't have a chance to have a mother."
Liz nodded seriously: "Compared to my mother, I feel the probability that I have a second father is higher..."
Harvey nodded seriously: "To be fair, it is true."
"I have said so much just to tell you that the Gospel does have the ability to fulfill any wish." An Nan put the dragon lizard on the table and said calmly: "With this consensus, you can understand how great my plan is and what I am betting on you."
"You are not allowed to reveal a single word of what follows to anyone else."
After saying that, An Nan's green eyes suddenly stared at Ash, making Ash feel both flustered and confused.
Is she staring at me like this because she covets my beauty? Will she take the opportunity to get me drunk? Will she take advantage of me by performing an ice-breaking ceremony? Oh, it's all because 222 has improved my appearance. Even Freya wants to eat me all day long... If the new boss insists on taking advantage of me, should I accept it or be reserved for the time being?
Just as Ash was daydreaming, Liz made a zipper motion with her mouth: "Dad, I'm very good."
Ash blinked and suddenly realized: "Liz, you are not allowed to reveal anything you hear next."
The new boss can't give orders to Liz, and his orders must be relayed through the router Ash.
An Nan retracted his gaze at this time and said, "What do you think my office usually does?"
"Semi-finished corpse handling."
“Human traffickers.”
“Biological transport.”
Ash and the other two gave the same answer almost instantly. An Nan raised his eyebrows and said, "This is indeed one of the main tasks of the firm... In order to avoid any misunderstandings, I'd better explain it first."
"Among many rankings, there is a category that evaluates the level of regional development and the ability of the rulers, including but not limited to the "Home Affairs Ranking", "Innovation Ranking", "Public Security Ranking", and "City Comprehensive Ranking". In these rankings, "talent" is a very important evaluation indicator. So what do you think should be used to judge "talent"?"
Liz raised her hand: "Good kids like me who are on the list are talents."
Harvey and Igula turned to look at the only 0-star trash who was not considered a talent. Ash slammed the table angrily and said, "Miss Annan, they didn't listen to your instructions seriously and played tricks. I will report them by real name. I, Ash, despise people who slack off in meetings the most!"
"That's right, only those on the list can be considered talents."
Purple Moth blinked. She didn't expect that these foreigners would start fighting before she made any move. "But not every regional list can be filled. There is a minimum threshold for the ranking list. If you don't meet the threshold, you can't be on the list no matter what. Therefore, there will be many 'empty lists'. Correspondingly, those with sufficient number of people on the list are called 'full lists'."
"The more 'full lists' in a region, the higher the level of the rulers and the better the level of development. By the way, this kind of city list is updated every six months, so every ruler will try to fill in as many empty lists as possible before the evaluation deadline."
The fraudster soon realized the loophole: "If we lure the people on the list from other regions to our region, then——"
"That's right." An Nan gently fiddled with her new amethyst earrings: "When a person's position changes, it will naturally be included in the list of the current region."
"So every time before the evaluation deadline, it's a war among our firms - we kidnap specific talents from surrounding areas and take them to the client's designated area to fill the empty list. You have also ridden in our work vehicles. We won't hurt or kill anyone. We just make these talents temporarily lose their ability to resist. When the evaluation is over, we will let them go. If possible, we will even try to reduce unnecessary physical contact to ensure that the talents have a good short-distance travel experience."
"I hope you don't have any misunderstandings about the funeral agency. We are a very serious agency."
Yaxiu and the other two looked at each other: they were proficient in the business of personal detention, colluding with the security forces, taking advantage of the situation to enslave migrant workers...it seemed that they had no misunderstanding.
"Speaking of this, you should understand the real business content of our firms."
bite.
Zi Fei E gently scratched her earring with her fingernails and took the wine glass handed to her by the young butler Ban Ji.
"Although our business is diverse, what we do at the end of the day is to discover, study and even exploit loopholes in the Gospels."
"That is, blasphemy against the gospel."
