Angel is not stupid either. Xiao Lu’s first two sentences were all conventional explanations, and he lost both money and goods.
And the "free inquiry" she mentioned at the end is the most worthy of attention in the little green talk, or in other words, the point she hopes Angel will pay attention to.
Xiaolu seemed to mention "free" casually, but the supersensory person was Angel, and she was feeling uneasy and nervous inside.
Although Angel is very clear about the truth that "free is the most expensive".
But he didn't brush off Xiao Lu's expectations. He pretended to be surprised and followed her words and asked: "Is there any free query method?"
Little Green made up her mind and immediately said: "Yes, free inquiry is an activity approved by our Hermit Association yesterday. Mr. Zuniga is so lucky that he happened to catch up with our activity."
Angel didn't believe Xiaolu's words at all, and asked directly: "Then how can I search for free?"
Xiaolu showed an elegant smile: "Free inquiry is a benefit provided to members."
"Member benefits?" Angel looked puzzled on the surface, but in his heart he suddenly realized that the purpose of going around in circles was to get him to open a membership.
Generally speaking, as long as you get involved in something like membership, there will most likely be a certain amount of sunk cost. - If you have already opened a membership, it won’t be a big deal to go shopping; if you have already gone shopping, it won’t be a big deal to buy something.
Then it fell into decline step by step.
Of course, this does not mean that "membership" is wrong and can make people "fall". In fact, it means that their membership production is good.
After all, people are not fools, and they will definitely reject something that is really bad.
Therefore, when Xiaolu proposed the concept of "membership", Angel knew it in his heart, but still asked: "Can you elaborate on it?"
"Of course." Seeing Angel's interested expression, Xiao Lu knew that there was a high probability that this deal would be successful.
Thinking of this, Xiao Lu began to seriously talk about the membership system of the Hermit Society.
Xiaolu didn't talk about all the benefits and benefits, but also clearly stated some of the obligations and restrictions of membership. This actually made Angel agree a little more.
If she talks all about the benefits but doesn't mention the benefits at all, then you basically don't need to listen to the rest of the story. Pies in the sky can't fall into the sky. This is fundamental.
After listening to Xiaolu's story, Angel roughly understood what the hermit would want to play with.
Social networking, or networking.
As long as you are a fashion magician, membership activation is free, but you need to fill in a basic information.
The information here will include the magician's department, as well as the style and art he is good at.
After filling in the form, the Hermitage Club will notify you to participate if it holds activities and stages corresponding to the department you are good at.
For example, if someone is a magician in the Style Series, and after he becomes a member of the Hermits, he will be invited to participate in every Style Series event held by the Hermits.
Because the event is full of magicians, there is a higher probability of attracting fashion monsters.
In other words, once you participate, you may enter the challenge space and have a chance to get "book pages".
This is similar to the situation of "Daily Mission Access Point" at Tina Entertainment.
The pages you get belong to you, but if you want to sell them, the Hermits will want to get priority. In other words, the Hermits can help you contact buyers and only charge a part of the agency fee.
Of course, this priority is not mandatory. If you feel that the agency fee of the Hermitage is too high, you can also choose other organizations to help sell it.
In addition to such activities, the Hermitage also holds regular information exchange meetings, internal trading meetings... and even one-on-one tutoring by senior magicians.
In short, what the Hermit Association creates is a social circle of magicians that extends from point to point.
In fact, the creation of social circles is something that many organizations do, such as fashion guild competitions, roundtable conferences, Prada Moments... These are all social circles created by major companies.
But those are the only ones that can really build it.
Because they master the core technology, which is: stable, efficient, cheap, real-time and accurate communication technology.
The core of social networking is communication. If you don't have this efficient and real-time communication method, it will be difficult for you to achieve results in the social circle.
Therefore, when Angel noticed that the Hermits seemed to have built a social circle of their own, he immediately raised questions.
Xiao Lu said with a confident face: "We have certainly mastered the communication technology, and it will not be worse than those of the big guilds, or even better!"
"As long as Mr. becomes a member, we will give you a communicator for free. This is a member benefit just like the first inquiry is free."
Seeing that Xiaolu was so confident, Angel didn't ask any more questions.
Instead, he captured another meaning in the little green saying: "The first inquiry is free? Does it mean that subsequent inquiries will be charged?"
Xiaolu nodded: "Yes, but the cost is still very low. It is definitely much more convenient than spending a lot of time going to various book page dealers. Moreover, we still have a lot of information to query, including the sale of some information. As long as Mr.
Joining will unlock these rights."
"So, Mr. Zuniga, are you interested in becoming a member of our Hermitage?"
Angel did not answer immediately, but was thinking about a question. Since the Hermit Society can sell information, can you get information from the world where Modern City is located, including other cities? Or can you only query it?
Information about the modern city?
Expanding a little further, since the Hermit Society sells information, there should be similar services in the social circles of large organizations such as Tina Entertainment, Dark Round Table... right?
Angel's trance was misunderstood by Xiao Lu as hesitation. Xiao Lu originally thought he was sure, but seeing Angel's hesitation, he became a little worried.
Xiao Lu thought for a while and said, "Are you worried about being betrayed by your original social circle, sir?"
Angel: "Huh?"
He was just thinking, he didn’t have his original social circle in the modern city?
Xiaolu thought he had guessed it right, and said with a smile: "Sir, please rest assured that the membership system of our Hermitage is completely anonymous and only referred to by code names. Even if your husband participates in activities in the future, we recommend that you attend anonymously. After all, we
Our members are not only magicians on the surface, but also magicians in underground neighborhoods. In order to get along more harmoniously, we support hiding their identities and appearances."
Her words also contain a hidden meaning: the social circle of the Hermitage is inclusive.
Even if you are in other social circles, the Hermits will not comment on this.
The Hermitage has only built a new social circle platform. As for whether they want to stay long-term and whether they want to have an additional social circle, it is entirely up to the members themselves.
I have to say that Angel was quite moved by Xiao Lu’s words.
Angel actually considered becoming a member of the Hermit Society, but before that he needed to solve the problem of "identity". His original plan was to use nightmares to clear the way.
But when Xiaolu said that they recommended and supported "anonymous" members, his identity problem was easily solved.
Thinking of this, Angel finally nodded: "Okay, I will join the Hermit Society."
Xiao Lu smiled slightly, nodded slightly to Angel, and said very calmly and calmly: "Welcome to join."
Immediately afterwards, Xiao Lu took out a shimmering page from the pocket on the side.
The pages of the book lie on the table.
Angel took a look and realized that it was a membership registration form with some membership terms at the bottom.
Angel did not fill in the information immediately, but took a look at the membership terms, which were similar to what Xiao Lu just said.
It is free to become a member, but you need to pay a certain amount of membership fee every month. The monthly membership fee is not too expensive, but it is not affordable for ordinary people.
Of course, if you don’t want to spend money to pay the monthly fee, you can also complete some tasks provided by the Hermitage to obtain membership points. It is also possible to use the membership points to offset the monthly fee.
And these tasks are not difficult. For example, if you are a magician in the style series, you can take on some popular series, gorgeous series... and other non-style series stage activities, and just collect enough to be an audience.
The more magicians there are, the greater the probability of attracting fashion monsters. However, because you are not in the current series, even if the fashion monsters come, there is a high probability that they are not targeting you.
Therefore, you can get a lot of membership points just by joining in as a spectator.
In addition, there are some "teaching tasks" and "guidance tasks", which are not difficult and can earn a lot of membership points.
One membership point can offset one month's membership fee. It can be said that as long as you join the Hermit Society, you basically won't have to worry about the monthly fee.
Membership points have other uses and can even be used to redeem rare "book pages".
In short, the obligations of membership are not very strong. Apart from the monthly membership fee, there are almost no other mandatory obligations.
There are many welfare projects. Of course, most of these welfares cost money, but this is normal. For example, obtaining information can be obtained by spending money in the Hermit Society, but in the outside world, you will spend money.
You may not be able to get it either.
After confirming that the membership terms were correct, there were no additional terms and no hidden restrictions, and that becoming a member of the Hermit Society would indeed bring a lot of convenience to oneself... and everything was in order, Angel began to fill in the information.
The information is also very simple, with only three items: name, specialization, and commonly used monsters.
The name and department must be filled in, but commonly used monsters are optional.
"The information will always be recorded in your membership file, including in the communicator given to you later. It can be modified in the future, but it is expensive and the modification process will be long, so try to fill it out for the first time.
Please fill it in carefully when filling in the form." Xiaolu suggested.
Angel nodded and filled in his name in the name column under Yu Xiaolu's gaze.
"Angel."
Although Xiaolu said that he could replace the number, for Angel, there is no need. If it were realistic, he might consider it, but this is just a copy.
When Xiao Lu saw that the name column was not "Zuniga", she raised her eyebrows slightly, but she quickly regained her composure.
"Good at sorting..." Angel looked at this column and paused for a few seconds.
Seeing this, Xiao Lu chuckled and said: "Zuniga...well, I should call him Mr. Angel now. Are there any doubts?"
Angel: "I am indeed good at the Heat series, but I also have a lot of page puzzles from other series, and I am pretty good at it..."
The fashion monster puzzle he currently has includes not only the hot series, but also monsters from the manufacturing series such as "Fashion Cutters", and monsters from the gorgeous series such as "Style Clown".
Xiaolu: "This situation is very common. You can fill it in according to your own ideas. However, I personally suggest that it is best for you to focus on one department. Otherwise, it will be difficult for you to attract fashionable people on the stage of the same series in the future.
Monsters pay attention."
Xiaolu's suggestion is sincere, but to Angel, it doesn't matter who attracts the fashion monster, he can "take it" anyway.
Angel thought for a while and filled in: Heat Series.
As for the last "Commonly Used Monsters" option, Angel originally didn't plan to fill it in, but Xiaolu said at this time: "We ask members to fill in this item, not to pry into their privacy, but to help members
For welfare.”
"For example, if a fashion magician's common monster is a light-chasing butterfly, then when there is a task of setting up the stage, we will give priority to the task of stage lighting effects to the magician, so that we can quickly earn membership points."
"Some missions also grant large amounts of Modern Coins."
Through this method, the Hermit Association can allow some members to earn extra income.
Angel is not short of Modern Coins, but earning membership points can be exchanged for supplies from the Hermit Society, which makes Angel somewhat interested.
He still doesn't know what the Hermit can exchange for, because the exchange platform can only be seen after obtaining membership points.
Therefore, he doesn't mind getting some points through the tasks issued by the Hermit Association.
Thinking of this, I filled in the commonly used monsters: traffic bat and fashion tailor.
If you need to create a buzz, or if you need to dismantle the pages of the book, he can help complete the corresponding tasks.
Xiaolu didn't show too much surprise when he saw the two commonly used monsters written by Angel. Traffic bats are very common and are not rare among fashion tailors.
This is in line with Xiaolu’s positioning of Angel.
For a novice magician who has just come to the deep black market, the fashionable monsters on his body will definitely not be too rare.
If you can possess rare and fashionable monsters, you are definitely not a novice magician.
This concept is applicable to the vast majority of people in the modern city. But it is not applicable to an alien challenger like Angel.
It is not a step-by-step process for them to obtain fashionable monsters... because they can take on random tasks and various side tasks, allowing them to quickly complete the assignment of book pages.
Even the first page of a magic book may open a rare monster.
Just like Angel, the first page is very rare... variety show elf.
However, for similar magicians in Modern City, the first page shows the basic monsters of each department.
"Although these two monsters are common, they both have good auxiliary effects, especially for fashion tailors..." Xiao Lu looked at Angel with a smile: "Mr. Angel may be able to make money in the future just by relying on fashion tailors."
The bowls are full."
Angel smiled silently and pushed the registration form to Xiaolu.
After Xiao Lu took it, he took out the magic book and clicked it lightly. The registration form turned into two copies. One was put away by Xiao Lu, and the other turned into a point of light, illuminated by the star on Xiao Lu's shoulder.
Butterfly Spirit Banbu was swallowed into the stomach.
After Bambu swallowed the registration form, a large number of stars began to escape from the pair of star butterfly wings on his back.
These stars dotted in front of Bambu, forming various strange patterns.
If it were Angel two days ago, he would definitely not be able to understand these patterns; now Angel can't actually understand the meaning of the patterns, but he knows that these patterns are... corner codes.
