Chapter 1036: Intelligence Gathering
Lack of information is the biggest obstacle to the implementation of tasks. So, whatever you do in the Abilities Realm, make sure you're well-informed.
Zhou Yun heard Xu Qian's inquiry, and very confidently pulled Xu Caiyue to his side, and said, "This is the fastest way to gather intelligence!" β
"............" Xu Qian was speechless for a moment.
The young man is right, Xu Caiyue is a cheater, as long as the little fox sees and listens to all directions, no news can escape her exquisite heart. It's just that if you have to bother the head of the class to inquire about the news, it is estimated that Zhou Yun can do it. Xu Qian admits that she is not capable enough and cannot persuade Xu Caiyue to help......
"My cousin is really good, but we can't trouble her about everything." Xu Qian squeaked and said that if you want to get the latest news in the supernatural world, you can go to the relevant intelligence department to consult and buy gossip.
"I don't have any money." Zhou Yun said very shamefully that all his property was bought as a gift for the fairy army girl, where could he buy information at any cost.
"Ah, did Xiaoyun forget it? People have funds for activities! Xu Qian took out her bank card, and when a certain cloud saw this, she almost couldn't help but pounce and snatch back her own property.
The little princess withheld the bank card given to him by her father a long time ago, but there were hundreds of millions in it!
"Ahem, in fact, we only need to ask the intelligence department, and let Caiyue peek into the other party's mind, there is no need to spend money." Zhou Yun was very stupid and naΓ―ve to mention the women.
Hearing this, Shun Xiang couldn't help but shake her head and remind: "Since it is a department specializing in intelligence sales, there is naturally a way to prevent the theft of secrets by perceptual abilities. Moreover, every precious piece of information is obtained by others at the risk of their lives, and we should respect the fruits of their labor. β
"You're right! I listen to you. Zhou Yun nodded obediently, Sister Dancing God is the president of the Ability Guild, and she has the most right to speak.
According to the instructions on the map of the mobile phone, Zhou Yun and the seven people came to a tavern in a blink of an eye, which is said to be the base for selling intelligence.
Unlike bars, there are no DJs singing and dancing with beautiful women, and it feels like a street food stall where you can drink and eat skewers with friends.
The tavern is a five-storey building, the reception hall is full of ancient Roman style, the tables and chairs are almost all wooden, and the overall appearance is nostalgic and elegant, feeling like an elegant North American church.
The tavern was very lively, with handsome guys, beautiful women, old people, and children, and everyone sat in groups of three or five, drinking and eating small meals, and exchanging information.
Zhou Yun and the seven people entered the tavern, and the others glanced sideways slightly, then classified it as 'harmless' and continued to exchange information.
The tavern is not only a place to buy information, but also a place to exchange information. Zhou Yun stood in the center of the hall, pricking up his ears to eavesdrop on the conversations of the people around him, but apart from the buzzing noise, he could barely hear any conversation.
"Xiaoyun, the tables and chairs in the tavern are all special supplies, and only when you sit in the corresponding position can you hear what they are talking about." Xu Qian pointed to the wooden tables and stools in the hall, they can block the sound within the range, and if you want to eavesdrop on the other party's conversation, you can only enter the other party's chat range.
However, the people within the chat range can clearly hear the speech outside the range, just like Xu Qian explaining to the teenager, and the guy sitting next to him can hear it.
"For information inquiries and information purchases, you can go to the help desk over there." This is not the first time that President Shunka has been on a mission, and there are two main ways to purchase information.
The first is to buy directly from the intelligence department, and the second is to find relevant personnel through the intelligence department.
The former intelligence is highly credible, but the price is expensive, and the latter is mostly gossip, or some special news, the authenticity is confusing, the price is negotiable, and after the transaction is successful, the intelligence organization will charge the corresponding intermediary fee.
"Let's ask first, they don't necessarily have information about Long Xiao. It's best if you can buy it directly, after all, there is a credibility guarantee. β
"Brother Yun, is it really good to do this......" Ye Wen hesitated, as if he was worried about getting everyone into danger.
"What's good or not? Your mission is to investigate Long Xiao's movements, and I just have something to ask Daiqinya, why not push the boat down the river? β
"Don't worry, we'll be fine." Xunxiang comforted Ye Wen with words, what kind of wind and waves have you never seen in Yunziying? Now it's just investigating the whereabouts of the members of Long Xiao, not making enemies of them.
Zhou Yun came to the intelligence service desk with a big grin, and he was greeted by a beautifully dressed etiquette lady: "May I ask if there is anything I can help you." β
"I'd like to ask for information about 'Long Xiao'."
ββ¦β¦β¦β¦β
As soon as Zhou Yun spoke, the noisy hall suddenly became full of horses, and everyone's eyes turned to them.
What's going on? Did you ask a very exaggerated question? Everyone looked at them with strange eyes......
"Living in Yi Nengjing, no matter who you are, you have a passion to make a name for yourself, but the reality is very cruel, you must do what you can, don't lose your life." An uncle-level Western man patted Zhou Yun on the shoulder and said with a smile: "The little guys are not afraid of tigers when they are newborn calves, and the eldest brother appreciates you." β
Long Xiao is an extremely vicious organization in Western countries, and Western Han mistakenly thinks that young people are eager for quick success and quick profit, and they want to make a name for themselves in the supernatural world, and they do not hesitate to take risks to challenge the heretical guild.
But the other party is an extremist organization, and it will not show mercy to its subordinates just because the enemy is a child. Looking around at the seven beautiful and lovely friends, Uncle Western couldn't bear to see them being mutilated by the Heresy Guild.
"I've heard that Long Xiao's recent actions are not very peaceful, so I want to ask about the situation." Zhou Yun replied disappreciatively.
Although many people think that Long Xiao is a heinous heretical organization, he still believes in Daiqinya......
Maybe at the beginning, everyone was a little misunderstood, but in the era of the gods, he fought side by side with Lan Suyue, Nas, and Jetmir, and Zhou Yun felt that none of them were bad people.
"That kind of organization has never been settled." Uncle West shrugged his shoulders: "This is not the place to talk, let's go over there and talk." The waiter is sorry to snatch your customers away. β
"It's okay, we don't know much about Long Xiao's information." Uncle Western is a frequent visitor here, and Miss Manners smiled lightly, not caring that Uncle Western took the young man to the side to chat.
After all, the information about Long Xiao, whether it is the cost of intelligence, the strict process, or the danger level, is not something that a few fledgling guys with abilities can afford. Let the Western uncle teach them some common sense in the supernatural realm, and hone it from scratch, which is the way to survive in the supernatural realm.
Zhou Yun felt that Uncle West was very enthusiastic, and Xu Caiyue didn't report him for bad intentions, so he followed the footsteps to the corner of the hall and sat down.
Uncle Xi is a frequent customer, beckoned to the waiter and asked for a few plates of wine and food, before turning to the young man and the others and saying, "Before I tell you about Long Xiao's information, you should tell me why you want to inquire about Long Xiao's information." β
"It's your business."
Before the young man could speak, Xu Caiyue responded with a smile.
Uncle Xi is testing whether they have enough wisdom and courage to operate in the Alien Realm, and if Zhou Yun and the others are idiots enough to directly tell him the purpose of their actions, they can only be described as very stupid and naΓ―ve......
However, Xu Caiyue's reply obviously did not leave any emotion, and a simple sentence about your made the Western uncle speechless. Because the little fox's smile was like an ice thorn, which pierced Uncle West's body.
"Ahh Does this uncle have the latest news to sue the sΓΉ family? β
"Are you two sisters? It looks very similar...... But it feels completely different. The Western uncle looked at the two girls carefully, Xu Qian and Xu Caiyue in his eyes were almost the same model, the biggest difference was that the former hid a knife in his smile, and the latter was amiable.
"Enough! That's right, but unfortunately there is no reward. This is the first time that someone has seen that she and Xu Caiyue are sisters, and it is estimated that in the eyes of Westerners, Orientals are difficult to recognize, and their looks are almost all similar, just like Orientals see the big black brother, almost all of them look the same.
On the other hand, in the eyes of Orientals, Xu Caiyue and Xu Qian's temperament is very different, so it is not easy for people to think that they are sisters.
"To get back to the point, you called us here and asked what we were talking about?" Sister Xunxiang knows the general situation, does not joke with Western uncles, and directly asks the other party's original intentions.
"I'll just tell you the truth. Long Xiao is one of the three major heretical guilds in the world, and it is not something that you little ones can provoke. Uncle Xi looked around at Xu Qian and the other women carefully, and then added: "You look so standard, if you fall into their hands, the end will definitely be worse than death." β
"Didn't you say that they were both good and evil?" Xiyue was very curious.
"Good or evil? Don't put gold in their faces. The Western uncle laughed mockingly while chewing the beef tendons: "A good person is a good person, a bad person is a bad person, and if you kill someone, you are a murderer. How many bad things Long Xiao has done in secret, how do you little guys know. β
"You want us not to have anything to do with Long Xiao?" Nangong Lingyu's words revealed the other party's intentions.
"That's right. Don't blame me for saying it too badly, you honor students who have just graduated from the Academy of Abilities can meet you almost every year. If you have ideals, ambitions, and feel that you have no skills, you owe a stage to show your strengths. β
"It's sad and infuriating that none of them have come back safely." Uncle Xi's words slammed suddenly, his eyes exuded a terrifying murderous aura, and his words were cold and piercing: "The supernatural world is not as easy to mix as you imagined, so don't daydream opportunistically here." β
"Just what I want!"
"I'm grinning, big sister, don't be impulsive!"
The Western uncle was full of provocative killing intent, which suddenly made Nangong Lingyu's fighting intent rise.
The other party's intention is obvious, he wants to use his strength to rub the sharpness of the young man and others, or test them to see if they have the ability to survive in the ability world. If you can't even pass a simple test, the boys should obediently go back to school, follow the tutor for three or five years, and then go out on their own.
