Chapter 968 Good impression and hush money
Two thousand per person, a total of 14,000 mission rewards!
Auction bonus amounting to about 30,000 yuan!
How dare you all earn nearly 50,000 gold coins after working hard for a few days?
Not to mention the other three who were completely stunned, even Mo Tan, who had seen many big scenes and had hundreds of thousands of gold coins on his body at most, was immediately stunned.
Is it so easy to make money these days?
If calculated according to the ratio given by many popular platforms, the average income per person is more than 6,000 gold coins. It has already caught up with the monthly salary of many white-collar workers outside the game. Although there are no benefits, there are no five insurances and one housing fund. Yes, but Mo Tan, Ji Xiaoge and Dabus were just playing games during bedtime, and they didn't work for long together.
If this continues, the market outside the game will also be affected...
I think that the school where Dabbs is located has begun to use the innocence boundary to make up for the children, Mo Tan unexpectedly started thinking about financial issues.
“Ahem.”
However, Zordon Nightcrawler did not let the four people, whose thoughts were gradually becoming confused, be distracted for too long. He coughed slightly, took a sip of the expensive tea in front of him that was said to be reimbursed, and asked with a smile: "Looking at the reactions of some of you... do you feel satisfied?"
Yaya shuddered, and the tail hanging behind her began to swing crazily like a propeller board, and she muttered with starry eyes: " You have so much money... you can buy so many big bones to eat... you throw one at a time... suck... hey hey... suck..."
Obviously, the girl was doing a simple calculation. After getting as much reward as possible, I was completely immersed in the fantasy of eating big bones and couldn't extricate myself.
I have said it many times before. In normal state, Yaya is just a little silly, but she is not stupid at all. She knows very well what such a large amount of money means, although she does not imagine spending it. The law is just a little bit hopeless.
As for the other three, they are not as naive as this bitch.
"This... is really a bit too much."
Ji Xiaoge twirled his fingers uneasily and frowned: "The contribution we have made is definitely not worth so much reward, even if we get it first The key they used in the end was the one obtained from the cavemen by the Joban Brigade. From now on, we will just follow the large army.”
Only an idiot would believe that there is free food in the world. For lunch, really smart people will choose to eat.
For some reason, the words that her father once said to her suddenly flashed through the girl's mind.
Although it is not considered appropriate, but based on the substantial contribution made by the Wangwang team in the previous mission, and comparing it with the huge reward Zordon just proposed, the money is actually no different from free money. .
Acquaintances are there to cheat, but never try to take advantage from strangers.
Then Ji Xiaoge remembered the second family motto that also came from his father, and his delicate and pretty face suddenly became wary.
“We and the Beautiful Girls Mercenary Group are just partners we met during the mission. Although we get along well, we are not very familiar with each other.”
Jadeka said something. If something seems irrelevant to the current topic, then slowly He took a sip of the tea in front of him calmly and said calmly: "I didn't know that Miss Corliss could turn into a dragon earlier, so I ask Lord Zordon to think twice. You need to know that this money only needs to be given to ”
As the oldest member of the team, although the old mage is not a human being, he is still very reliable at important times, so he has ruled out most nonsensical possibilities... such as 'Mo is Zordon's illegitimate son' ,'Zordon fell in love with Ji Xiaoge at first sight After saying "love", "Zordon branch president who is good at teasing", "in short, he is very rich", etc., Jadeka felt that the reason why the Archaeologists Association gave such outrageous remuneration was probably because they mistakenly believed that they were related to the pseudonym department. Liz's Christina is very familiar.
"No reward for no merit."
As the captain, Mo Tan finally concluded, shaking his head and saying: "Since we have not created equal value, we should not accept this offer from you. A huge reward.”
Ya pursed her lips unhappily, but didn’t say much. She was still very obedient in this relatively formal occasion.
In the end, Zordon smiled slightly and said slowly: "You guys are worrying too much. The rewards set were carefully discussed by the association's top management. They have nothing to do with the dragon lady in the beautiful girl mercenary group. Directly related, if I say this, will you believe it?"
Mo Tan, Ji Xiaoge, and Jadeka exchanged looks and shook their heads at the same time.
Obviously, based on the analysis of the Jotun branch president's last sentence, he probably didn't even believe this statement.
"Well, since you don't want to believe the explanation I was asked to convey from the headquarters, let's talk openly."
Zordon smiled, shrugged and said: " First of all, after the association’s investigation, although we believe that you did not know the true identity of Miss Corliss before, the relationship between you is by no means as simple as Mr. Jadekar said before. If I hadn’t If I remember correctly, after the commotion that day ended, the Wangwang team that left the scene immediately did not return directly to the kobold settlement, but went to another place first...a place where there were probably two giant dragons. Place."
Mo Tan and others were immediately speechless. They really didn't expect that the Archaeologists Association could be distracted from investigating the whereabouts of their group under the circumstances.
"Wang...Wang didn't notice anyone following the dogs..."
Ya Ya muttered in a low voice, feeling that he was a bit unqualified as a scout.
Zordon stared at Mo Tan with burning eyes: "So, am I right? Captain Mo."
What can Mo Tan do? Not to mention that Yaya's words just now had almost confirmed Zordon's guess. Even if she hadn't, her passive skill called [Chivalry - Honesty] would not allow him to lie blatantly in this situation.
"Okay, you're right."
So he could only nod and admit, smiling bitterly: "We did take a detour to talk to a few friends before going back. Individually.”
"Say goodbye to my 'friend'~"
Zordon didn't look very surprised, he just nodded slightly with an expected expression and showed a very friendly smile: "I think so, after all, in In that case, there are really not many reasons for you to take a detour. After mastering some basic information, it is easy to draw a conclusion."
Mo Tan did not continue to speak; He nodded to indicate to the branch president in front of him to continue.
“Secondly, I had a little chat with Ms. Lorelei from the Joban Brigade... It can also be said that it was a little test. As a result, she was interested in making friends with our Archaeologists Association and she readily confirmed me. Another conjecture."
Zordon took another sip of tea, then breathed a sigh of relief, and his eyes sank slightly: "There is a conjecture about 'people from another world'."
"Hey!"
Ji Xiaoge was startled and let out a soft cry subconsciously.
Jadeka and Yaya also exchanged a surprised look.
Mo Tan, who had known that the concept of 'outsiders' would no longer be a secret in the eyes of many NPCs half a year after the server was launched, was quite calm and just asked lightly: "So?"
"So combined with the information provided by the Joban Brigade and our simple investigation of the beautiful girl mercenary group, the association can basically confirm the identity of Miss Corliss as an alien. In my opinion, there are also The relationship between you, the Wangwang team of aliens, and Miss Coris should be more than just a casual acquaintance.”
Zordon shrugged and said calmly: "In other words, even if you were just casual acquaintances before, you are not anymore. After all, Miss Corliss and the others are willing to say goodbye to you before leaving. In terms of status, Under the circumstances of being exposed."
"Okay."
Mo Tan sighed and said helplessly: "I admit that we are already close friends, but..." " That's enough."
Zordon interrupted Mo Tan's words and said with a smile: "Whether it's me personally or the other senior leaders of the association, I think it's okay. That friend with whom Ms. Dragon has a good relationship definitely deserves some good impressions.”
Ji Xiaoge frowned: "Are you trying to bribe us?"
"No, no, no, it's too serious to say 'bribe'. As I just said, the association just wants to give you Just leaving a 'good impression'."
Zordon immediately shook his head and waved his hand: "You are friends of a dragon lady. If you really want to bribe you, just two thousand gold coins each. This thing is just a joke. A hundred times is not enough."
Ya Ya's eyes lit up: "One hundred thousand per person!"
"Yes, at least this is the case. Numbers do.”
Zordon made an exaggerated expression, shook his head and said: "But now I just want to make friends with you, and to be honest, if Ms. Coris hadn't turned the tide at that time, the association's losses would definitely exceed millions of gold coins. Take advantage of me, the branch president of the Golden City."
[No, if it weren't for Christina, this thing wouldn't have happened at all...]
The four members of the Wangwang team. I thought about it at the same time, and my expression was bright.
"Huh?"
Zordon looked at Mo Tan and others who suddenly looked strange with some confusion, and asked curiously: "Did I say something wrong?"
Mo Tan spread his hands: "We are not the ones who can turn the tide."
"So, will Ms. Corliss and the others come back?"
Zordon smiled and asked calmly. : "Come back and collect their share of the reward."
"Probably... no."
Mo Tantan, who had known that the four beautiful girl mercenary group had already run away overnight Take a breath.
"In that case, please don't refuse."
Zordon took out a stack of seven gold coin chamber of commerce certificates from his sleeves and gently pushed them in front of Mo Tan: "After all, we are from the headquarters. Please do me a favor and accept the task."
"But..."
Mo Tan was still hesitant.
“This is not a favor.”
Zordon interrupted him with a smile, leaned back in his chair and said, "And it's not much, just think of it as a small gesture from the Archaeologists Association... or a small thank you."
Mo Tan smiled helplessly and finally accepted it. He picked up the stack of vouchers that Zordon pushed over: "Okay, thank you very much, but forget about the dividends you just mentioned."
"That is not special treatment."
Zordon shook his finger, The smile on his face gradually faded: "Jiban Brigade and Fluorite also have one, and they will also leave a share for the Beautiful Girls Mercenary Group, but if they make up their mind to stay out of it...even if they give you more rewards, , our Archaeologists Association is still making a profit.”
Although it was just a scene to relieve everyone’s psychological burden, I have to say that this scene was still very stress-relieving. Mo Tan felt that the stack in his hand was very good. 'Check' isn't that hot anymore.
"Are the auction dividends that high?"
Jadeka looked at Zordon dumbfounded, looking frightened.
"Theoretically it's definitely not that high. If nothing else, it's only about two thousand gold coins at best."
Zordon shook his head slightly and explained solemnly: "This time The reason why the bonus is raised to 30,000 gold coins is because among the things brought out from the Sun Dynasty No. 7 Archives... there is an item that our Archaeologists Association attaches great importance to."
"An item that we attach great importance to? ”
Ji Xiaoge shook his wings, tilted his head and repeated.
“You may not know that the founder of our Archaeologists Association, the first president, left clear instructions, that is, in addition to those antiquities and cultural relics within the normal business scope, we must try our best to Seal or destroy some 'dangerous items' buried in history."
Zordon narrowed his eyes slightly and said in a deep voice: "Especially those dangerous items that can cause turmoil, those things have to be unearthed. It will not be made public in the end, but will be concentrated in a certain place for evaluation, and then sealed or destroyed depending on the situation. Whenever such a thing is discovered, we usually give the participants a large amount of hush money. This is not a secret. "
Ji Xiaoge immediately widened his eyes, covered his mouth and whispered: "You mean..."
"Yes, the [Falling Star] secretly developed during the heyday of the Sun Dynasty The gun engineering drawings and more than 80% of its parts are in the warehouse of the No. 7 Archives.”
Zordon rubbed his forehead and said a little tiredly: "The craftsmen at the headquarters have analyzed the drawing and have assessed it as an extremely dangerous item, so these 30,000 gold coins are your hush money."
“Eh? But we didn’t know about this kind of thing before. If you don’t say anything, wouldn’t you need to pay hush money?”
Ji Xiaoge questioned in confusion. .
"Be careful with the thousand-year ship. After all, you are all involved in the transportation of those things."
Zordon smiled, waved his hand and said: "And the association has special funds, so there is no need for it. As for taking risks to save this little money, not to mention that once this kind of thing is discovered, it will be difficult to get others to trust you in the future. Thirty thousand gold coins cannot buy the reputation of our association now.”
Mo Tan and others nodded slightly, feeling that what Zordon said did make sense.
"Then, let's stop here."
Zordon stood up, stretched out his right hand to Mo Tan, and showed a sincere smile——
< br>"Then, I hope there will be opportunities to cooperate with you in the future."
