Chapter 166 Chapter 166
Chapter 166
Only a small number of people know about the Special Management Bureau's contacts, and it has little to do with the general public.
They were immersed in the scene from the previous few days that seemed like a superhero movie.
Yao Youan is also one of them.
She has been preparing for postgraduate study recently, so she stayed in the laboratory for a long time. When she came out, she almost thought she had traveled through time.
"Senior... I just stayed in the lab for three days, right? Why is it that outside..."
Yao Youan was stunned when he saw the news pushed on his mobile phone and the capitalized headlines on the news.
When did an evil god appear in Country A? And he was killed by their special forces? ? ?
Yao Youan looked genuinely confused.
Her senior schoolmate also said helplessly: "You also feel that the world is changing too fast, and you even feel a little crazy."
"Thinking back now, although our lives ten years ago were filled with gunfights and all kinds of drug abuse, it was still better than the various superpowers that appear now."
After reading the news, Yao Youan nodded with lingering fear.
Country A is really unsafe now. No wonder her parents were considering moving to Bear Country on the other side of the Earth the last time she went home.
Originally Yao Youan didn't want to go, after all, Xiao Beiyu was still in Country A, but now Yao Youan is a little hesitant.
The senior student looked at Yao Youan's hesitation, sighed, and turned on her computer to start looking up Xiong Guo's work.
There are many people who share the same ideas as Yao Youan and his senior.
However, not everyone has the ability to work abroad. The global situation is getting worse and worse. After all, Country A is at war with two countries in another world at the same time. Country A is definitely not having a good time. If Country A is not having a good time, other countries will naturally not have a good time either.
As a result, Nanyuan's real estate projects were once again in great demand, and the municipal government even gave Xie Yuanzhi very favorable policies in order to attract him to come and build real estate.
Just as this incident became a hot topic, news that the authorities had begun awarding medals to special forces also appeared on the hot searches.
It caused another wave of public opinion frenzy.
Previously, for well-known reasons, things like fleeing to other countries were not allowed to appear on the Internet, which made the atmosphere on the Internet seem calm and peaceful.
Now that this incident has occurred, it has brought some life to the Internet.
Especially the video released by the authorities, which was almost sold out by many people who have confidence in country A, and there was even cheering below.
Faced with some questioning voices, some people even responded without any hesitation.
"Although there aren't many special effects and magic, and the first half is even full of verbal attacks, isn't this the normal rescue process?"
"They are legitimate police officers after all. They must prioritize rescuing the hostages first. Once the hostages are rescued, won't the leader just attack them?"
Of course there were some doubts, but these doubts actually led the public opinion in another magical direction.
"That knife move was really fast and cool, so fast that the camera couldn't capture it. Even if it did, we could only see an afterimage. But are those special forces members really human? Are they really not cyborgs? Can humans really have such great strength?"
"I am a little skeptical, but I hope they become stronger and stronger. After all, if it weren't for the border wall, our soldiers would have to face enemies more powerful than these people."
The wind direction began to change from here.
Many people began to express their fear of the world of cultivation, and after this incident, they felt even more afraid of the affairs of the world of cultivation.
"...I originally thought their stuff was good, but after seeing what happened a few days ago, I suddenly realized that the stuff in the cultivation world is just a toy for those powerful races, but for us, we can lose our lives if we are not careful."
This was said by a grandpa holding a sign that read 'Isolate ourselves from the world of cultivation, protect our lives' during a street interview.
After the parade, many people joined the ranks of boycotting things from the cultivation world, causing many merchants who previously marketed products from the cultivation world to urgently issue statements saying that they were locally produced domestic products and that they used the name of the cultivation world just to sell them at a higher price.
But there are still many people who resist.
Later on, if anyone said that they admired cultivators, many people would even beat him up, and many deaths occurred as a result.
Of course, they were all suppressed by the government.
The Internet is still calmly boycotting the goods from the cultivation world.
However, Taoduoduo took this opportunity to hold a special event for Blue Star products during the Double Eleven Shopping Festival, which stimulated a wave of consumption during the economic downturn.
Nan Yuan went against the trend of most companies when the economy was in a downturn - he actually started the new energy project that has become synonymous with fraud.
This terrifying man, Xie Yuanzhi, launched three new energy vehicles in one go, and all of them received official support.
Whether it's a three-wheeled vehicle that looks like a motorcycle in the front and an extra-large cargo box in the back, a two-seater car suitable for commuting, or a pickup-like three-wheeled vehicle that's a combination of the two, they are all very popular in Country A.
Could it be that people in China just like to buy those cheap old cars that cost hundreds of dollars to repair?
It’s because we have no money!
Moreover, due to the war and the attacks by armed forces in the desert areas, the price of oil changes almost every day. They can hardly afford to fill up their tanks!
Although electricity is also expensive, it is cheaper than the current oil price.
If you have good hands-on skills, you can even modify a generator at home, which will be much cheaper or even free.
The Chinese people went crazy for these small cars, and the car dealers all started to sweat.
Xie Yuanzhi's attack this time was so aggressive that he simply wanted to leave no chance for survival. Although normal cars could still be sold, the sales price had dropped significantly.
After all, Xie Yuanzhi set the price really low, so low that it made people doubt whether he actually made any money.
——A four-wheel new energy vehicle, the price does not exceed 80,000 yuan, which is simply a bargain!
This is even the most expensive price among the three models launched by Xie Yuanzhi!
Car dealers all suspect that Xie Yuanzhi is looking for death. By lowering prices so much and leaving no room for others to survive, isn’t he afraid that the capital behind them will take action?
However, what is strange is that after all the car dealers complained to their superiors, their superiors did not provide any solution.
Xie Yuanzhi continued to sell his cars at low prices, and he even dared to buy an ice cream openly without his bodyguards.
The car dealers were confused.
Is Xie Yuanzhi... trying to use the big boss in the cultivation world behind him to put pressure on these capitalists?
While the car dealers were trying their best to find out the situation, several permanent residents of the Special Management Bureau disappeared quietly in Country A in a place where no one noticed.
*
"Manager, please don't be angry. Mr. Wen is worried about you."
Caroline looked quite skilled at using the abacus in her hand. If she didn't say it, no one would be able to tell that she had only been learning it for a month.
She was wearing a set of traditional cultivator's clothing, and looked quite decent - except that her cultivation level was a little low.
"Heh, and then he doesn't care about his own safety. I wouldn't be surprised if he comes here someday and is skinned and his tendons are pulled out to be made into a fox scarf."
The young man sitting behind the counter pouted as he spoke. He was wearing a pair of small round sunglasses on his face, but they were replaced with the classic style of the cultivation world. He looked more like a blind fortune teller than a shopkeeper.
——It looks more like the Tianwen Pavilion across the street.
There were even monks from other places who went through the wrong gate. Only after they came in did they realize that the fortune-telling place was on the opposite side and that the place sold the pass to all worlds.
"..." Caroline didn't know how to persuade her for a moment.
Later, Wu Yue came over and waved at her. She sighed and let her minister be emo as he pleased.
This time they came here to conduct espionage activities, actually risking their lives. In addition to their group who opened a shop openly, the authorities also sent other groups here, but they did not let them know who they were.
The authorities have actually tried to send people to the world of cultivation before, but unfortunately most of them failed.
No one has come back, so it can be basically confirmed that they are dead.
So when they came undercover this time, all of them wrote suicide notes.
And Emperor Wen rushed in when they were writing their suicide notes.
Caroline was still horrified by the scene that day.
It was the first time she saw the minister and Actor Wen so angry. As they were angry, they exuded a sense of oppression that made it hard for everyone present to breathe. In the end, they even started fighting on the spot.
Caroline no longer remembered what happened after the two men fought, but when Caroline came to her senses, half of the entire Special Management Bureau was reduced to ruins.
This is just the result of the minister and actor Wen holding back.
If they really let go, I'm afraid the entire Special Management Bureau won't be enough for them to crush.
But in the end, the minister still came to the world of cultivation.
——Because his own minister directly fed the medicine to Mr. Wen, when Mr. Wen woke up, the minister had already run away.
Caroline felt guilty when she thought about the information they received at the last minute.
The other half of the Special Management Bureau was not saved after all.
Fortunately, all the important facilities are underground...
Caroline was thinking and finished calculating. She directly pulled Wu Yue to start counting the inventory.
Wu Yue, who just waved his hand and was inexplicably dragged to check the inventory: Mask of Pain.jpg
They had no idea what kind of deal their superiors had made with Xie Yuanzhi, but in their opinion, Xie Yuanzhi was just a speculator who would help whoever could give him greater benefits.
The downside is that you never know when Xie Yuanzhi will sell you out, but the upside is that Xie Yuanzhi will also sell out others, such as the cultivation world.
...However, I'm afraid that the Xie family played an indispensable role in Xie Yuanzhi's transformation into what he is today.
Caroline's mind wandered for a moment, but she quickly got back on track.
Mr. Xie Yuanzhi sent them into the world of cultivation as promised - of course the higher-ups paid a huge price, such as the car companies - and then put them into this cultivation version of the AR glasses sales store a month ago.
"If I just abandon you, I'm afraid you won't survive a day. You can help out in the store first."
Mr. Xie said this with a smile, then threw some information over and turned away, leaving these agents who could kill and fight but had never done sales with confused looks on their faces.
Fortunately, the minister was reliable and worthy of being the talent he had nurtured. After some research, he finally figured out the current situation and then told them one good news and one bad news.
The good news is that they are now only a few kilometers away from the venue of the conference of the bigwigs in the cultivation world.
The bad news is that if they don't revitalize this store within a month, they will not only lose access to the conference, but their store may even be taken back by the other side.
——Yes, this shop is opposite Tianwen Pavilion.
At the beginning, Caroline was really troubled. They had never done sales work before. Even if the agents were all-rounders, it did not mean that their skills could be extended to sales.
What's more, the sales experience in the mortal world cannot be applied to the world of cultivation.
After all, most cultivators don't need something like the Link to All Worlds, and they don't think it's necessary.
In Caroline's opinion, Wanjietong is just a revised version of AR glasses with a mobile phone and gesture control function added at most. But for cultivators, the function of making phone calls can transmit sound over a thousand miles, and Xie Yuanzhi has not established the signal of Wanjietong to all five realms.
In fact, among all the worlds, only five of them have signal towers in their big cities. The signal is also intermittent, and it seems that there are some technical difficulties that have not been overcome.
However, due to poor signal quality, the game "Power of All Worlds" can only be played with small games. For the cultivators, although some of them like this small game, most of them still think it is a waste of time.
——Until the minister took action.
Looking back on the past month's experiences, Caroline felt that her minister was worthy of being the founder of Slide.
First, he found Mr. Xie and slammed the table in front of him. Finally, he got the signal towers in the big cities ready. Then he installed a slide on the Wanjietong. Then, in the name of the conflict between Country A and the cultivation world, he aroused the emotions of the people in the cultivation world who could not lose to mortals.
at last.
The minister himself put a gossip section directly on the slide, and added an anonymous function...
This Wanjietong is selling like hot cakes.
Facts have proven that gossip is the primary productive force.
Now, the cultivators who have used the communication with the outside world have become very interested in it, and many of them want to purchase goods and send them to other realms.
If the Wanjietong wasn't so expensive, there probably wouldn't be many Wanjietong left in the store now.
From time to time, you can hear them complaining about why we don’t open stores in their area.
In response, Caroline could only smile and then sighed, "Mr. Xie is indeed worthy of being Mr. Xie. He is really good at using hunger marketing."
Don't think that Caroline didn't know that Wanjietong should have started opening stores in other realms not long after their opening.
Caroline thought of this just as she finished counting the inventory, and looking at the correct number of Wanjietong in front of her, she breathed a sigh of relief.
Now she felt uneasy when she looked at these Wanjietongs who looked like those wearing glasses.
It is known that the selling price of a Wanjietong is five middle-grade spirit stones, and the special edition and customized version are more than double that. A middle-grade spirit stone costs more than one million in the mortal world, and it is even more expensive now. So, may I ask, how much does a Wanjietong cost in the mortal world?
——After calculating the price, Caroline looked at these Wanjietong as if she were looking at a mountain of gold and silver.
I am always very careful when placing the goods.
She can't afford to pay for losing one of these things.
Fortunately, Tianwen Pavilion is a good landlord. It did not just rent out the house and then leave it alone. Seeing that most of them are in the foundation-building and Qi-training stages, it sends people to check on them from time to time.
To avoid some petty thieves among the cultivators.
It was only after Caroline arrived in the world of cultivation that she discovered that these cultivators were also human beings. They would be jealous and angry, and there were even some evil people. Not all of them were like the cultivators from the Tianwen Pavilion across the street and from their country A.
Compared with those perverted demon cultivators that Caroline had heard about, Wei Yang was as pure as a blank sheet of paper.
As a result, Caroline also got to know many people from Tianwen Pavilion, such as Eleven, who looked like an immortal but often had the temperament of an old woman.
There is also Seventeen, who was supposed to be Wei Yang's junior brother, but now came to Tianwen Pavilion for some unknown reason - fortunately, when Caroline came to the world of cultivation, she habitually changed her disguise and did not use her own face.
Overall, the place that Xie Yuanzhi chose for them was one where the people were really friendly.
But unfortunately, sometimes being friendly also means it is difficult to get information.
They have been here for a month. Apart from the common knowledge in the world of cultivation, they can only get some true or false news from the gossip section.
"…It's been a month, and I don't know when we can find a breakthrough."
Caroline sighed and spoke in secret.
Wu Yue on the side was in a good mood.
"Don't worry, Vice Minister. We have already established ourselves. It's only a matter of time before we get the news. We can always get some information if we talk to the customers more."
Wu Yue said optimistically.
Ling Mei on the side was not as optimistic as her.
After all, she had seen the difficulty of their intelligence work during this period.
The leader of the Tianwen Pavilion opposite was a very powerful figure in the entire cultivation world, and he could also predict the future. As a result, they did not dare to approach the Tianwen Pavilion at all, for fear that this figure would see something from them.
Fortunately, this big guy is also a otaku and never comes out of his room. He either takes a spirit boat to attend conferences in the cultivation world.
Thinking of this, Ling Mei also began to sigh.
"Why are you sighing? Is the sales of Wanjietong not good again?"
A teasing voice sounded in the store.
Caroline looked up with surprise at the beautiful female cultivator standing at the door of the store, and a smile immediately appeared on her face.
"Mo Lou! Are you back so soon?"
Wu Yue and Ling Mei on the side also smiled. Maybe it was because of their rapport, they got along with Mo Lou like friends.
Mo Lou was the first customer of their store, and he was the real first customer before all promotional methods were started, so Caroline had a high degree of favorability towards Mo Lou.
She even felt that the minister felt the same way. After all, after Mo Lou made a request for wholesale, the minister directly used his authority to give up a batch of Wanjietong for Mo Lou to take to the Nushan Sect for sale.
——Although the price is quite expensive, judging from the fact that she came back from Molou every time with an excited smile on her face, she should have made a lot of money.
"There is no problem with the sales of our Wanjietong store. It's just that the store manager had a quarrel with his father recently."
Ling Mei said with a sigh.
In fact, this is also their way of disguise. After all, people who suddenly appear and act sneakily every day are really easy to attract attention, but people who are troubled by family matters from time to time will not attract attention.
After all, this is really too ordinary.
"The store manager's father is urging him to get married. After all, we will probably be like this for the rest of our lives. His father wants him to get married and have children as soon as possible, so that he can at least have offspring."
Wu Yueshen said mysteriously.
Mo Lou looked at the manager, who had a sullen face and rarely put away his playful smile, and nodded with empathy.
"It's really hard to be urged to get married."
Mo Lou recalled how his master and the elders urged him to get married when he returned to Nushan this time. He felt more and more sympathetic towards this young store manager who was only in the Foundation Establishment Stage.
She is the same too. There are even elders who ask her if she still has feelings for Long Feng.
Thinking of this, Mo Lou's expression became gloomy.
Caroline and Wu Yue packed the Wanjietong according to Mo Lou's manifest and put it into a space bag. When they were about to hand it to Mo Lou, they saw Mo Lou put away his smile and sat on the sofa.
The smiling face just now also disappeared.
"What's going on? Did something bad happen?"
Caroline stepped forward and asked worriedly.
Mo Lou shook his head and hesitated for a long time before speaking.
"No, speaking of urging marriage, I just remembered a friend of mine who has also been urged to get married recently, but she doesn't know whether she should start."
Caroline really wants to know whether this friend you are talking about is you.
After all, there were many cases where cultivators escaped death, but they still did not speak.
He just pretended to listen silently.
Mo Lou looked at Caroline in front of him, a female cultivator who was unfamiliar with him and was only in the Qi training stage. She easily said things in front of strangers that were not suitable to be said in front of family and friends.
"The story begins when my friend was a child. My friend and her ex-husband were childhood sweethearts..."
As Mo Lou continued to narrate, the smile on Caroline's face gradually disappeared, and then...
——Her expression began to become ferocious.
*
"…That's the thing. She doesn't know if she still has her ex-husband in her heart. She would be heartbroken if she were to separate from him. After all, he's actually a good person, and their experiences were unforgettable enough. But being with him would also be quite painful. So what choice should my friend make?"
After Mo Lou finished telling the story, she took a breath and felt much more relaxed. The story between her and Long Feng actually only took her an hour to tell. Although she omitted some necessary information in the middle, the general direction remained unchanged.
'I wonder if Rowling and the others can offer some advice...'
Mo Lou thought about it and then looked up.
——was shocked by the scene before him.
Caroline was shaking the shoulder of the male clerk next to her with a ferocious expression - he was in charge of debugging the All-Realm Connection Array, and now he was looking at Caroline with a face full of pain, but dared not utter a word.
Behind these two people, there were several people standing, all of them were store clerks.
——Even the engineer who almost lived upstairs and could only see him when he was repairing the Wanjietong appeared here.
But at the same time, their faces were quite distorted.
Mo Lou: ...
She was just telling a story, there was no need for so many people to watch.
But all the onlookers didn't think so.
Caroline couldn't believe what she had just heard.
Is Mo Lou such a compassionate living Buddha?
She was used as food for the ruthless path and luckily survived. After seeing her boyfriend who had been reincarnated, she still had feelings for him and let him go every day.
In the mortal world, there was Brother Ma Chang. Now, is there also going to be Sister Ma Chang in the world of cultivation?
Caroline thought about it, and the strength in her hands became stronger and stronger. The clerk next to her said: Pain Mask.jpg
Mo Lou came back to his senses, frowned and asked, "What happened? Or is there something wrong with what I just said?"
Caroline squeezed out a word from between her teeth and said, "No problem."
It's just a bit of a panic.
"I do have a suggestion for your friend."
At this time, a lazy voice came.
"Before you start worrying about whether you still have feelings for him, ask your friend to find a Buddhist practitioner first."
The store manager wearing small round sunglasses said as he leaned lazily against the counter.
"——Judging from her behavior, she must have been cursed, or she is the reincarnation of a living Buddha."
"If you enter Buddhism now, you might be able to ascend to heaven within ten years."
