"Lawyers" find loopholes in the explicit rules and take advantage of them, but this is only limited after all, and human desires are endless.
As a result, the "barbarians" began to try to use violence to break the explicit rules and make profits, but this was very likely to be counterattacked by the rules.
So there are "bribers" who use more sophisticated means to make profits with the help of rules that are not the bright side but the dark side.
Therefore, the "briber" has actually officially begun to touch the core of the entire approach:
“Learn the rules of exploiting the dark side of society.”
Of course, the Extraordinary at this time has only tasted the sweetness of the rules of the dark side for the first time. Next, he will take the initiative to "corrupt" others and pull people who are accustomed to the rules of the light side into the dark side in the same way.
A world of rules.
This thought has not allowed Gray Linte's "briber" potion to be further digested. However, after thinking about it, as long as he practices it once or twice and refines some ideas, he should be able to complete it.
Digest this magic potion.
"A rule for exploiting the dark side?"
"Ha... But who is going to define the light and darkness of the rules?"

The meetings in the next few days were much more boring than Grelint expected. The entire semi-annual meeting lasted seven days.
The first two days are: "Work Summary", "Work Evaluation", "Work Report of Each Secondary Branch", "Recognition of the Secondary Branch Team", "Individual Commendation", "Speeches, Opinions and Comments from the Chief and Deputy Chiefs"
Suggestions"... They also all have a long prefix "the first half of 1349, MI9 Tertnik First-level Branch".
The middle three days are: "Work outlook, goals", "General outline of the work, outline, details...details", "Several work implementation requirements"...their prefix is "Military Intelligence Unit 9 Tetnik 1 in the second half of 1349"
level divisions and secondary divisions”.
Fortunately, most of these things are aimed at ordinary members, and do not require Gray Lint to participate... He can just sit there, and he doesn't even need to listen.
What he is more concerned about is the personnel transfer of Beyonders, business reports, and the allocation of sealed objects in the last two days.
It is not convenient for ordinary personnel to participate in these matters. The only participants are Darnell, representatives of each second-level branch, and members who take the initiative to participate in the transaction of extraordinary things, as well as personnel involved in job transfers.
As for the mysterious new "Fallen Earl", the boss Calvin and Gray Lint still haven't seen anyone else.
…
"...Taking into account the actual situation in Verturk, Viscount Gralint Mariano is hereby appointed as the leader of the Verturk branch, with the highest operational command authority of the branch...Assign Redel, Yomanka
The two extraordinary people collaborate as a deputy team."
"What?", "This?", "How can this be..."
As soon as Darnell read out the notice of Gray Lint's appointment, there was a buzzing discussion below. Many members looked surprised, and a few showed less obvious dissatisfaction and anger.
Darnell glanced at the participating Extraordinaries who were talking a lot, pressed his palms, and there was a sudden silence in the venue.
This is not because his prestige is high enough, but because of the use of extraordinary abilities.
"Quiet!
First of all, I want to explain that this is a direct appointment from Admiral Basel, so everyone please respect yourselves when discussing.
Secondly, Viscount Mariano has been promoted to Sequence 7. If you have any doubts about this, you can request to test his extraordinary ability under my witness."
He said it would be strange if someone actually went to check it.
Regardless of whether he was promoted or not, since Darnell had this attitude, how could he not prepare the corresponding magical items in advance? And Darnell didn't know that Gray Lint had really been promoted.
A magical item corresponding to the "briber" was prepared for Gray Lint in advance.
What, you said that this extraordinary ability is not strong enough, like it is released through a magical item?
Sorry, Mr. Mariano has just been promoted and his extraordinary ability is at this level.
And anyone who dares to jump out and question it will undoubtedly offend the two generals Basel and Darnell and the Viscount Gray Lint at the same time.
No one in their right mind would jump out at this.
…
In addition to directly assisting Gray Linte in becoming the leader of Vertek, Darnell, who felt the "sincerity", also allocated two relatively excellent "Level 2" seals to the Vertek branch.
The objects are "2-06: Horrifying Nightmare" and "2-18: Punishing Grip".
The former corresponds to the "Spirit Witch", which is a bone whistle that will automatically blow at any time. Its sound will absorb other people's consciousness and instill fear.
The latter corresponds to the "Knight of Punishment", which is basically useless to Gray Lint. He has a better alternative to the "Sword of Judgment".
As for the two new Beyonder team members, they are a man and a woman. Redel is a green-eyed man in his thirties, a native of the Northern Continent, an "interrogator". Yomanka is a woman, thirty-seven, with a face.
Profound, a pure-blood local, a "soul master".
——————————————————————
After this half-year meeting, the Extraordinaries held an Extraordinary Things Trade Fair as usual.
It's a pity that the "strong attack magical item" requested by Gray Lint did not achieve satisfactory results in this transaction. After all, everyone often performs dangerous tasks, so under normal circumstances, of course no one would risk saving their lives.
Take out the things and sell them.
However, Darnell gave Gray Lint a huge surprise. He actually had the main ingredient of the "Corrupted Earl" potion, which was called "The Complete Cocoon Shell of the Order Worm".
Of course Graylint must get this thing at all costs!
It can be used to make magical items first, and then it can be crushed and used as the main ingredient for potions. In any case, this thing is very suitable for him.
In the sealing room, Darnell handed the egg-sized black cocoon to Gray Lint.
As soon as he got this thing, Gray Lint had the desire to eat it directly. This is the instinctive attraction of high-sequence extraordinary characteristics to low-sequence people of the same path.
Of course, its essence is still the "extraordinary characteristic aggregation effect".
After forcibly suppressing his desire to swallow it, Gray Linte looked at the cocoon carefully:
It had an unusually deep black color, and seemed to be able to completely absorb even light. It was obviously a thick silkworm cocoon, but it was also unusually light. When it was placed in Gray Linte's palm, he could hardly feel any weight.
It doesn't have the chaotic feeling that potions and extraordinary characteristics of the "Lawyer" path often have. Instead, it gives people a feeling of "deficiency", as if something is always missing where it is located.
Seeing this dark cocoon, Darnell seemed to remember something from the past, and said with some reminiscence:
"I have actually had this thing for more than ten years. At that time, like you now, I always had the greatest curiosity and yearning for extraordinary power... At that time, I still had hope of promotion... Later, I couldn't
Yes!
Alas, although I also know that not being promoted may not be a bad thing..."
this……
Gray Linte was about to say something comforting, but she heard him smile softly:
"Haha, when people get older, they tend to nag and laugh easily."
"Okay, let's not talk about those old things in adulthood. I know that you have always yearned for a higher sequence level. What do you think of this material? Does it still suit your liking?"
Isn't it just what you want?
It hit the target directly!
Gray Linte gently put the cocoon back into the thick glass bottle, and said without concealment:
"I like it very much. Please set a price. As long as it doesn't exceed my bottom line, I will buy it directly."
If he says, "I don't like it very much, it's not very good," he's thinking that Darnell is a fool.
However, his words are also very cunning. The underlying meaning is, "If your offer exceeds my bottom line, then just don't ask for it." This is of course a lie to him, but it is just to show the other party, "I really like it very much."
This is something, but I will face it with enough sense." This is just an attitude.
"haha okay."
Darnell smiled and nodded, and said analytically:
"According to the convention of mid-to-low-sequence, magical items are about 20% more expensive than the corresponding Extraordinary properties, and the main ingredients of potions are generally half the value of the corresponding Extraordinary properties.
According to this conventional thinking, I think its normal price should be around 25,000 pounds.
But..."
Before Graylingt could speak, he heard a change of tone and continued:
"Even if it's just the main ingredient for a mid-sequence potion, it's very common in a gathering of wild extraordinary people to pay a premium of 3-4 cents, let alone the main ingredient for a sequence 4 potion...
Would you like a discount of thirty-five thousand pounds?"
call……
Even with Gray Linte's net worth, he couldn't help but tremble slightly when he heard this figure.
When he usually picked up magical items, he didn't realize how valuable they were. Now after Darnell compared it with the most common general equivalents, he intuitively felt how much wealth it was.
I have to say that he, who never cared much about money, still hesitated for a second.
However, the next second, he still answered very firmly:
"want!"
Anyway, there is no need to transfer money from his hand, he just signs a real estate transfer contract, which will not have any intuitive impact on him.
"OK!"
Darnell laughed heartily, but still remembered to restrain his volume and whispered:
"I can give you this thing first, and then we can send a telegram to ask the servants to prepare it, and then go directly back to Backlund to sign the contract tomorrow. What do you think?"
He was afraid that Gray Linte would regret it after he calmed down, but he did not expect that Gray Linte was even more afraid of long nights and dreams, so he replied with a smile:
"No problem, I just need you to prepare a reason for me to go back to Backlund for business... Well, if it's convenient, it would be better to take a longer time. I want to deal with some other things by the way."
"good."
This was no problem at all to Darnell, and he readily agreed.
