Chapter 3 Being a Guest in the Northern Territory Part 2
Luo Ling and Song Yizhou were finally invited into the reception room, which was also built in a simple and simple stone style, with false windows and simulated skylight on one side and real windows on the other, allowing them to view the garden.
Hot tea is served, as well as fresh fruits hanging with water drops, a simple and cordial way of hospitality.
The content of the discussion was also very casual. Some were about the descendants of Xuanyuan, some were about the Thunderfire Knights, and there were also talks about Luo Ling and the mission he went on not long ago.
The purpose of chatting at home is just to get familiar with and understand each other from some details and from some perspectives, deepen each other's understanding, and establish a better relationship.
Qin Qing did not treat Luo Ling as an outsider, maybe because of his performance in the operation, maybe because Qin Qing regarded the Northern Territory detachment as Xing Juan's natal family, maybe it was because Luo Ling once said that if you can't survive,
Come and be my wife. Anyway, there is nothing to hide from Luo Ling here, at least that's what it seems.
After a break, accompanied by Qin Qing, Luo Ling and Song Yizhou visited various facilities of the Northern Territory Team with great interest and observed the ongoing training of knights and trainee knights. Shooting range, martial arts field, meditation hall
, Tactical Hall... Walking down one by one, Luo Ling discovered that the northern region unit's station occupies a very large area. Probably a quarter of the Guangming Street base is occupied by the station's buildings.
After Qin Qing's introduction, Luo Ling learned that Leihuo's Guang'an North Territory Team, like Qingjiao's South Territory Team, is actually the plenipotentiary representative of Xuanyuan's descendants in Guang'an. In other words, here, Leihuo is the descendant of Xuanyuan, and the descendants of Xuanyuan are the Thunderfire Knights.
.Moreover, the four major knights of Xuanyuan's descendants have to be responsible for part of their own funding sources. It is not as he originally thought, Xuanyuan is a big team, and then selects the elite to form an elite team of four knights.
According to Song Yizhou: "It is responsible for its own profits and losses, half state-owned and half private. This is really an organization with national characteristics!"
On the surface, the descendants of Xuanyuan are indeed the actual rulers of many regions and survivors. Not only because the people need them to protect their own safety, but also need the land they provide to live in. But also because, if they want to survive, they must rely solely on
The newly revived agriculture and industry are not enough to support the food needs of the entire people, and the supplies that can be obtained from the surface are getting less and less. Then, the only option is to work for the rulers, which includes various employment opportunities provided by the rulers, as well as
This includes joining the army, as well as professions such as hunting. You hunt dangerous monsters in exchange for necessary living supplies.
In fact, rulers like the descendants of Xuanyuan are also the ones being squeezed. They cannot digest so many monster materials, nor can they convert those things into actual productivity. They can only use these things to create mysterious things like the Shenzhou Company.
Enterprises exchange all kinds of necessary materials. So, in fact, the real rulers are those companies, and they hold the lifeblood of all human survivors.
This time when he came to Leihuo Guang'an North Territory Detachment, Luo Ling finally understood the ins and outs of the current human system. Compared with the devils, those who still suck the blood of the people at this time and live a prosperous life are the culprits of all this today.
The root of the problem is even more hateful!
At noon, in the name of the organization, Qin Qing treated Luo Ling and Song Yizhou to a sumptuous meal. If this meal was three years ago, it would have been five or six hundred tables of ordinary meals, but with all the ingredients,
Nowadays, things like braised sea cucumbers, braised squid rolls, cashew nuts and celery, stone pot bullfrogs, etc. are almost as rare as shark fins, bird's nests, and hump bear paws in the past, so it is not an exaggeration to say that they are a feast.
After the meal, in a pleasant and harmonious atmosphere, we talked about the reward for the last action. Including the conversion of some materials, Leihuo Northern Territory gave Song Yizhou 100,000 palladium. In today's era when monster hunting rewards are generally worth a thousand dollars,
, this is a very considerable reward. This is also an organization like the Descendants of Xuanyuan under the banner of justice. It would be nice to change it to a black spot and be able to give some medical expenses.
Another reward is that Leihuo Guang'an Northern Territory Team gave Song Yizhou the green light. This reward is actually more valuable than 100,000 palladium. If Song Yizhou comes to the team's territory to open a shop, do business or something, then there will be no priority. In addition,
, the tax is much lighter, and the procedures are much faster. This is equivalent to buying off the officials in the past, letting you go all the way, and even supporting you. People with a little brain can calculate the profit.
Song Yizhou was of course beaming. Ever since he met Luo Ling, he had been blessed with good luck. From a down-and-out professor assistant to a petty bourgeoisie, he was now a prosperous middle class. Even Luo Ling gave him a large amount of income.
250,000, now the Northern Territory Team has given the green light to make some investments, and a nourishing life for the rest of my life has been established. I feel happy: "You said, it's only been a month before and after, how can the gap in life be so big?
?”
The reward given to Luo Ling was 200,000 palladium and a green light. Qin Qing said that originally, with Luo Ling's contribution, 200,000 was not available. It was his generosity that gave it to Han Xiaolu and Qin Qing in exchange for their materials.
The amount of money earned is more than this amount. However, the Northern Territory team is currently facing some financial difficulties. I hope Luo Ling can sell it to save face, and he will definitely be rewarded in the future.
As soon as Luo Ling heard this, he knew that the money was probably paid unilaterally by the Northern Territory detachment. Xuanyuan regarded him as a guest invited by the Northern Territory detachment. The expenses were paid by the Northern Territory detachment, but they didn't use it.
It is natural. From this point of view, Xuanyuan Leiluo's death meant that the Northern Territory detachment, which had made great contributions this time, actually did not gain any benefits and also lost many elites.
Qin Qing said that the Northern Territory detachment was in trouble, and Luo Ling believed it. Reputation is not just blown by words. The Northern Territory detachment is well-known throughout Guang'an. To put it simply, it is Shi's benevolent government. There are tasks at the top and tasks at the bottom.
If you want to do more good things and practical things for the people, the result can only be wronging yourself, tightening your belt, increasing revenue and cutting expenditure.
At first glance, this unit's station looks bright, but during the visit, with Luo Ling's insight, he still saw the obsolescence of equipment and many traces of "repairing things to get by". Many things were only washed and used.
Careful and well-maintained, it still looks like a thing.
How Xuanyuan suppressed Qin Qing and how Qin Qing dealt with it were beyond Luo Ling's control and difficult to control, but he still had feelings for Qin Qing and the others. Birds of a feather flock together, whether it's Lu Fei or Li Xiao.
Well, there is also Ren Zhengzheng, who is an upright person. He will speak up when he has any conflicts, and will not stumble in secret. He has the courage to admit when he is wrong. Such a person is easy to get along with and worthy of making friends. He deserves the money.
He can take it, but he won’t make any money from his friends.
Luo Ling's way of rejecting the 200,000 yuan was very special. He first took the payment card silently, and then pushed it in front of Qin Qing, "200,000 yuan, I will buy a road. From now on, my goods will come from you."
There is a .5% tax and the public price. No matter what I offer, you have to swallow it. Moreover, I don’t want other people to know that I got those things.”
Song Yizhou next to him became a little anxious when he heard this. Luo Ling would have lost a lot of money by doing this. The public price is the quotation of the exchange. With the popularity of Luo Ling's goods, there is no need to use this channel. Private exchanges are a
There is also the bounty offer from the Demon Hunter Guild, and the difference between them is quite a lot.
But just as Song Yizhou was about to speak out, Luo Ling stared back with a sharp look.
"How embarrassing, Mr. Luo, with our friendship, how can we charge you such a high tax? Besides..." Qin Qing originally wanted to refuse, but Luo Ling's approach was simply to give money to the Northern Territory detachment. You know,
In order to complete the above task, the Northern Territory detachment had to send an elite team to take risks to collect some special and precious materials. Other knights can spend money to hire people to do these dangerous jobs or set up an independent acquisition in the Demon Hunter Guild. After all, it is too
Going through a dangerous mission is not training soldiers, but risking death. No one wants to waste their elite strength on such a thing. But the Northern Territory detachment is poor, and if you are poor, you have to risk your life. This is their hardship. Now Luo Ling said this,
It is tantamount to smoothing out this loss to a considerable extent. Moreover, according to the public price, they will make money in the Northern Territory. They will also impose a high tax of 5% and give away 200,000 yuan to buy roads. If this does not include giving money.
If so, then I really don’t know what giving money is.
Luo Ling looked directly at Qin Qing. It was very plain, but there was something special hidden inside. Qin Qing couldn't explain it, but she could feel it. It was very pure, without any impurities of lust, and there was something special that could not be refused.
Majesty. Therefore, Qin Qing couldn't say anything else. With her intelligence, of course she knew that Luo Ling had seen the dilemma of the Northern Territory detachment. This strong woman who never wanted to be looked down upon felt a kind of warmth in her heart at this time.
Ripple.
"Okay, I will make the decision on behalf of the Northern Territory detachment and sell this road." Qin Qing said.
Luo Ling smiled, "You are Xing Juan's natal family, so I won't pay any extra betrothal gifts."
Xing Juan, who was sitting with her, blushed as she said this, wishing she could find a crack in the ground to crawl in.
"Mr. Luo, don't worry. Xing Juan's contract has been settled. You can come and marry the bride at any time." Qin Qing informed Luo Ling of this matter very well. This was originally promised to Luo Ling, or Luo Ling's.
The only requirement.
"Just call me Luo Ling, sir. This title sounds weird to me," Luo Ling said.
"Okay!" Qin Qing was also happy. Luo Ling sounded more natural and approachable than Mr. Luo. Getting close to Luo Ling was originally the purpose of Qin Qing's invitation to Luo Ling. "Luo Ling, I wonder what your next step is.
What’s your plan?”
"I'm a sleeper, and I'm most used to staying on Anshun Street. I've already promised Lin Xiang to go overland and take up a casual position in the security team there."
After hearing what Luo Ling said, Qin Qing naturally knew that Luo Ling had no intention of getting involved with their organization, and the original intention of inviting Luo Ling to serve as a guest officer in the Northern Territory detachment was not raised.
Luo Ling asked Song Yizhou to hand over all the materials he still had to the Northern Territory Team for accounting and execution.
Song Yizhou seemed reluctant there, "You won't fire me as an agent, will you?"
Luo Ling smiled, "I'll give you a 5% bonus. Of course, if you don't do it, you can fire yourself if you want!"
Song Yizhou didn't expect that his dividend would increase by 2 percentage points. This was like pie in the sky. Of course he was happy. However, he and Luo Ling were becoming more and more like a family, so of course he would also consider Luo Ling. It was difficult to say it in front of everyone.
, he still complained about Luo Ling afterwards. It was okay to be generous, but such generosity was a bit too much. After all, these materials were obtained with blood and sweat. His tone was the same as that of Xiao Zi and Xiao Qing.
Luo Ling told Song Yizhou that these materials were a very sensitive loophole. Relying on the relationship that Song Yizhou had entrusted with Sunset Base last time to deliver high-end goods could not reassure Luo Ling. The delivery orders were large and large, and they were all good goods.
, those who are interested can quickly find out the way out. By then, Luo Ling will be exposed to the sun. He really has enemies, and he really has not reached the point where he is unscrupulous and not afraid of anyone. Therefore, the Northern Territory detachment is
It is a safe material export port. Although it will cause some losses, it is a small one after all. Moreover, it is a fertile field that leaves no outsiders alone. Helping Qin Qing and the others is equivalent to doing a good deed in disguise, and it can also make Qin Qing and the others feel grateful.
, why not?
Once Song Yizhou and Qin Qing delivered the materials, Qin Qing and others knew how powerful Luo Ling was. With more than a million goods, Song Yizhou only picked some more cost-effective ones, such as those that the Demon Hunter Guild was offering a bounty for, and sold such materials.
, the transaction amount was less than a hundred thousand, and the remaining materials worth more than 1.3 million were handed over to Qin Qing and others.
Just knowing that Luo Ling made a lot of money on this trip is just a concept. Even Han Xiaolu and the others couldn't say the actual amount. Looking at it now, it's no wonder that they gave away the 200,000 palladium as much as they said they would, and they refused to give it back after they gave it away.
The other party felt that he was owed a favor, and they really didn't take this little money seriously. With Luo Ling's ability to predict and kill with one shot, if he really wanted to go hunting alone for a week, he would probably end up with this amount again.
Money can be obtained. Especially when Luo Ling admitted in disguise that he had indeed dueled with the boss in the devil's hall, Qin Qing even learned about Luo Ling's ability. The monsters simply ignored him or did not notice his existence. Qin Qing
I don't know how Luo Ling did it, but the facts don't lie. Fu Feng and the others, who were chased by Zhan Tu and had no place to run, did try to find Luo Ling, but there were monsters wandering around and there was no way to go. This is the fact.
In addition, Luo Ling admitted that he could fight against the boss, which was equivalent to admitting that he could challenge Tu alone. Qin Qing could not imagine how strong a human being could defeat a quasi-B-level monster alone, but
She could still deduce why Luo Ling could miraculously survive on the surface for more than a year. I'm afraid it wasn't because of his luck, his beast-like intuition and sneaking skills, or because he had stayed in the mountains and forests for more than half a year as he said, but now.
The surface world on the surface basically lets him kick around. Only demons that can truly threaten him must be at the lord level. How can there be any reason for lord-level demons to wander around like patrollers?
Furthermore, Qin Qing thought of what Luo Ling said not long ago: "200,000, I will buy a road... No matter what I offer, you have to swallow it..." This was not a bad word, but it was true.
She might take out precious materials that make people's hands tremble just by looking at them. When the time comes, I'm afraid she will feel the goods are a bit hot to her hands under the banner of the Northern Territory Team...
Qin Qing was in a daze thinking about it. Somehow, in the end, the situation when Luo Ling said those words came to mind again, "Oh... I'm afraid of you! If you don't get along well outside, just be my wife."
!" Looking back now, the care and respect in the details are as sweet as honey...
According to the original plan, I wanted to have dinner at Xingjuan's place for a private gathering. However, Luo Ling declined because he was not at home. He finally came back and was still wandering outside. Xiaozi and Xiaoqing's
Bian Luoling is worried. When he moves into his new house, the situation will be much better.
Qin Qing and the others are not in a hurry, Luo Ling's goods are still here, and it is impossible for the Northern Territory team to turn them all into money and send them to Luo Ling for a while, so there will be many opportunities to meet in the future.
Everything was going well and perfectly at first, but just when Luo Ling was about to say goodbye and leave, the troublemakers came. Moreover, the troubles had quite a backstory, so Luo Ling had to continue.
