At Luo Nan's level, his understanding of the Heaven Abyss Civilization continued to deepen. The possibility of him making a shocking discovery from the notes his grandfather left behind in the Wilderness wasn't high.
Luo Nan just found it hard to accept.
This was clearly the result of his grandfather's work. Why was it that he had to be unearthed, tormented, and destroyed by others before he could learn of it?
Was it because he was too easy to bully?
Blood Demon continued to reinforce Luo Nan's thoughts. "Many people will be interested in this. This recording is still circulating in a small circle right now. But a few hours later, there will certainly be changes. As for after the auction... Oh, maybe there will be a whole new treasure hunt. "
"Actually, the Amaterasu Order has already been making continuous preparations for this matter. They are even willing to pay a little bit of a price... Aside from their own deciphering, I heard that they have already begun to recruit external personnel, especially psychics of the Extraordinary level."
This was a sensitive word. Luo Nan shot a glance. "Psychics?"
"Some things can't be researched conventionally. Psychics. Isn't it quite like the inner world?" Blood Demon spread his hands. "Relax. They definitely won't invite you. There are very few psychics in this world, but the proportion of Extraordinaries isn't small. "
The topic slowly expanded. Luo Nan needed to organize his thoughts a bit, but at the same time, he hoped to obtain more information. He began to look seriously at Blood Demon. There was no need to say anything. This was an extremely straightforward expression.
Blood Demon raised another four fingers. "At present, there are 52 Extraordinaries listed in the 'Card Deck'. Among them, there are four psychics. That's more than 7% of the total. If we only consider the mental side, it jumps to more than 15% … Furthermore, they are all very powerful fellows. Of course, they might not be able to invite True Gods. Let's analyze them one by one. "
"Apollon. Apparently, Old Man Secret Deed spat out a few mouthfuls of blood when he subdued him. But he's still a traitor who doesn't listen to orders. He built an independent city in the Wilderness. No one can order him around... Yeah, I think True Gods and the Pope won't be able to invite this fellow.
Luo Nan heard Blood Demon say Apollon twice. More information was dug out from the depths of his memories. "Ha City... Armageddon?"
"That's right. It's the only city among the 88 major cities that doesn't have a garrison of the Star Alliance Committee. It doesn't have any government officials. It only has the will of an individual."
"Oh, that's really unlikely."
"That's right. Let's talk about the next one, the dead witch … that witch. You can ignore the rest. "
"I know that. Bu City's shaman, a very powerful old lady — this is what Old You said. It seems that in this domain, she can be said to be the strongest in the world? "
"Not bad, but her body is weak and she usually doesn't go out, so the possibility of inviting her is not high … But that old woman has a strange temper, who knows what she's thinking.
"Next is the top six. This bro is young and energetic, and he's a research-type. Maybe he'll be interested in this. However, he's An Baizhan's right-hand man, and most of his energy is focused on the northern defense line. It's unlikely that he would go to Ban City and risk offending you.
"Finally, there's Mola. A super talented troublesome woman. If it weren't for you, she would have enjoyed the world record of being the first to become an Extraordinary for a very long time. In my opinion, she is the most likely candidate in this matter. "
Luo Nan frowned. He had only heard about Mola from a friend in Xia City last night. It seemed that Octopus was quite obsessed with her.
"She's extravagant and wasteful. Her expenses are huge, and she often gets hired to do dirty work to earn money. As long as the price is right, she's not afraid of doing things wrong … Plus, I have exclusive news. This woman was in Ti City two days ago. It seems that she wanted to join in the excitement of the auction. But yesterday, she went in the direction of the Old Continent. She said that she was visiting relatives, but who knows the specifics? "
Luo Nan spun the cup of water as he went over the names of the four Extraordinary psychics in his mind. He still had the same problem. His understanding of these people was far too lacking …
Similarly lacking was the way the Amaterasu Order did things.
So far, it was practically Blood Demon's side of the story. If he hadn't made some moves earlier, he would be no different from a marionette today.
This had nothing to do with trust. It was just a matter of taking the initiative.
After thinking for a few seconds, Luo Nan lowered his head and laughed, "Maybe, they want to beg me … Didn't they transfer this information to me?"
Blood Demon spread his hands, "Your way of thinking is quite peculiar. Then what am I in this?"
"I'm not doubting you." Luo Nan finally put down the cup, "But doing research, whether it's intentional or not, can no longer be done by shutting yourself off and building cars. Multi-party cooperation is one way, and competition in scientific research is another. But sooner or later, the results must be shared. It's just that not every contributor can live to enjoy the benefits of the results. "
Blood Demon was startled for half a second before he laughed out loud, "You're a professional in this field …"
Luo Nan shook his head before Blood Demon could finish speaking, "I'm just guessing. You just said that there are only three of these special notebooks left … … I believe that they were all controlled by the Amaterasu Order. Am I right? "
Blood Demon chuckled at Luo Nan's complete ignorance of the Fuji Auction House.
"It's quite realistic."
"The Amaterasu Order left one for their own research. They threw one into the high seas auction. No matter who gets it, they will conduct research … … I feel that my chances of getting it are quite high."
"Tsk tsk. They're determined to get it."
"Yeah. They don't hesitate to kill and rob," Luo Nan replied jokingly.
Blood Demon let out a whistle.
"That's at least two research teams. Then there's one more … …"
Luo Nan's voice suddenly cut off. He went back into a contemplative state. A full half a minute passed before he raised his head. His gaze looked straight at Blood Demon, "Did you send the last one to Li Wei?"
Blood Demon raised his eyebrows twice, "Brother Luo, it'll be hard for us to verify the price later if you do this!"
This was no different from admitting to it.
Blood Demon wasn't someone who couldn't afford to lose. He grumbled and immediately satisfied his own curiosity, "Brother, did you guess this by force?"
"There's probably no one more powerful than Li Wei's Tianqi and Deep Blue Laboratory when it comes to research on supernatural powers. And the Amaterasu Order seems to have a good relationship with them? Of course, they're the best choice if you want to obtain research results faster. "
Blood Demon clapped his hands lightly, "Sure enough, young people have good brains … … From an intelligence peddler's point of view, today's business is a complete failure."
Luo Nan shook his head slightly, "I wouldn't dare. After all, Mr. Blood Demon is here as the full representative of Cards Magazine. This isn't business. It's an invitation. "
"Aha. That's right. In the end, there's a difference between sincerity and business. Everyone else said,
Brother, you're a bookworm. You don't have good interpersonal skills … … After talking with you today, I feel that you have great potential! "
Blood Demon and Luo Nan boasted and praised each other. It was as if they were already business partners … … Frankly speaking, Luo Nan's thoughts of refusing right now were extremely weak.
Blood Demon didn't go all out in a spurt of energy to finalize the contract. Instead, he diverted the topic a bit, "I'll give you some pointers from the perspective of a senior when it comes to interpersonal skills."
Blood Demon's carefree manner would probably have collapsed by now if it had been at the very beginning. But right now, Luo Nan was calm and collected. He even bowed slightly, expressing his thanks in advance.
Blood Demon began to talk endlessly, imparting the true scriptures.
"Brother, no matter how much you do research, you still need to socialize. It's true that intelligence agencies are quite developed right now, but at the level of Extraordinaries, social circles are very important. Many truly valuable pieces of information simply won't leak out. They will only circulate within the narrow circles. "
"Looking at your current performance, I can tell with a glance that you've never experienced the workplace before … … Uh, it seems that you really shouldn't have this experience. But perhaps you've heard your family elders say that there are always a few sources of information in their units."
"Among them, there are big mouths who will spill the news the moment they hear it, regardless of whether it's true or false. But there are also people like me, people who are truly well-informed and can always be a step ahead. Is this a test of information channels? No, it's friendship and trust! "
Luo Nan could tell that Blood Demon still cared a bit about his' little doubt 'just now. But now that things had reached this point, there was no need to hide anything. Luo Nan spoke in passing.
"So the high level information traffickers are actually selling friendship and trust?"
"......"
Blood Demon choked for a moment, but soon he laughed again. "That's right. However, things like 'circles' aren't maintained by relying on friendship and trust in most situations. Once you get involved in more circles, you'll naturally understand this point.
"You should absolutely expand your social circle. You should interact more with everyone. You should visit a few more places and develop all sorts of so-called 'friendships'. You can even develop a friend with benefits or something … … Well, after thinking about it for a while, it seems that there really isn't anyone particularly suitable among the Extraordinaries."
Luo Nan didn't respond at all.
"Hey, I'm not trying to lead you astray. It's just that you need to understand that no matter what sort of friendship it is, it's essentially an overlay of communication. As long as there's communication, we can eliminate a lot of unnecessary suspicions. We won't make strategic misjudgments … … We live up to this word, right? "
Luo Nan did admit to this.
"At our level, we absolutely shouldn't meet up only when there's something going on. By the time we feel like there's something going on, the situation is basically beyond redemption."
"If you want to play together normally, then you should play together. That's right. Just play together. The informal kind. There's no meaning in being formal. There's no value. The more formal a situation is, the less likely it is for a large group of people to reach a consensus. So don't pay attention to auctions. Don't pay attention to the Round Table Conference. Those are just for show. They're displayed for others to see, especially those who haven't integrated into the corresponding circles. "
"On the contrary, you need to pay attention to them. You need to be careful of informal private chats, cocktail parties, gambling houses, and even karaoke in small private rooms. The malice and killing intent in those are the strongest … … Do you want to go and experience them?"
"Huh?"
Luo Nan was startled, but he soon determined that Blood Demon's attention began to shift. He turned toward the crowded streets, toward a certain special point.
