"Rorschach, what type of mission do you think is suitable?"
"I'm fine with anything. You can arrange it yourself. I'm just tagging along. Just pretend that I'm not here. "
Captain Marta received a notification from her wristband. The first thing she did was to ask her potential future boss for his opinion.
However, Rorschach directly refused. Not only did he not want to stand out, he even wanted to see how capable his captain and team members were.
The four of them huddled together and discussed in low voices. Meanwhile, Rorschach slowly took out a coffee pot and began boiling milk … Actually, as someone who worked overtime for a long time, he had the habit of drinking coffee back in Ansorenne. But here, for some reason that was self-explanatory, he only drank two cans of milk every day.
"Although the chances of success are slim, who knows what the future holds? Maybe it will succeed. Wouldn't that be a happy ending for everyone?"
While humming a little tune, Roland used the automatic wristband on his wrist to check his height, then silently took a large gulp.
As a wood spirit mixed-blood, six years was probably less than two months for a human's lifespan. And for humans, especially young ones, it was far too unrealistic to expect them to grow taller in two months.
"Also, keep working hard and persevering. One day, I'll be as tall as Ansorenne."
[… Stop struggling, Brother. What's the point of comforting yourself with being young for so many years? Don't you have any idea what an adult wood spirit looks like?]
"… Watson, you've hit the nail on the head that we purposely didn't see … Do you need something from me?"
Perhaps Rorschach had already accepted certain unchangeable facts, or perhaps he had already been criticized far too many times, but he smiled and responded. He also knew that his forever busy younger sister wouldn't have the time to specifically criticize him for not daring to face reality.
[I'll give you the coordinates of those little fellows. Let me see if I can use them.]
A list of names appeared on his Belief System interface, along with a 3D map and coordinates.
Since all the teams' situations were being broadcasted in real time by the surveillance cameras outside, the result was that there were no secrets in this tournament … at the very least, for veteran players like the Church of Games and Rorschach, it was basic knowledge on the battlefield to reconstruct a model of the battlefield based on the current situation, and then use the broadcast area's surrounding scenery to lock onto an individual's location.
"Okay. But what if you can use them but don't want to join? You have such high standards. The people you pick won't be mediocre. From what I know, there are quite a few large churches coming this time. Our conditions don't seem to be too competitive. "
Rorschach knew himself... the Game Church would be in the future...... and the Game Church needed to expand.........
............................................................................................
.......... Some things must be prepared in advance for the subtle issue of loyalty.
In a sense, this was another way to make up the numbers.............................
........... The other side of the Game Church's "not picky" policy was that they didn't have high expectations for newcomers. Naturally, they wouldn't pay them well...
.. From what Rorschach saw, the large churches that sent people this time were all good seedlings that they had been eyeing for a long time. Some of them had been following them for three or four years and were just waiting to graduate..................................................
Selecting good seedlings from all of Thor, or even all of Eich, and establishing an echelon of leaders, this was a process that every church that had developed to a certain degree would have to do.
. The Game Church would definitely do such a thing in the future. However, they had developed too quickly. Rorschach and Lori only started to pay attention to this when they saw that others were fighting for people. But now, they were behind...
. "..... except for the first three on the list. If you don't want to join, then don't join. As for the first three … Why do you think I want you here? Get them at all costs."
Rorschach was a little surprised. What kind of talent could make Lori use the words "at all costs"?
Rorschach began to seriously look through the information. After thinking for a while, he also felt that he was the most suitable headhunter for interviewing newcomers. He might even be better than the database created by the large churches.
The True Talent could nullify all lies. All the interviewees could only reveal their true talents and abilities. Under normal circumstances, there was a huge difference between the information on paper and reality.
Even better, Rorschach could use words to directly test the other party's temperament, morals, and personality. He could determine whether the person was trustworthy.
When negotiating, he could also directly face the other party's needs and instantly offer a lower price. This saved a lot of negotiation time and cost. At the same time, as a core member of the Game Church, he had the ability to name any price he wanted.
Adding all these conditions together, Rorschach could complete the preliminary work that would normally take 3.4 months or even one or two years.
Most importantly, Rorschach himself was in the arena.
Individually, these conditions weren't that big of a deal. But when added together, it meant that Rorschach could directly sign someone in the arena, and it was basically impossible for him to make a mistake.
Rorschach, who had just started to feel optimistic, smiled bitterly as he scanned the updated list of candidates.
"… I thought they were being kind and giving me a vacation. I was too naive. They're forcing me to snatch people from other churches …"
Talent was always precious. As long as there was a large population, there would always be a few geniuses. The first few people on the list all had decent talents and abilities, but none of them were idiots. They would definitely have been targeted by others. Perhaps they had already signed a contract.
Now, Rorschach had been ordered to do it at all costs. Most likely, the target had already signed a contract. It was obvious that they were trying to steal from the large churches.
"It seems that next year's business will be quite big."
This obviously wasn't a normal method. It would easily cause endless trouble and even make enemies with the large churches. If they were willing to pay such a high price to poach someone, it could only mean that there was a shortage of people this year.
"I can only use some extreme methods."
Just as Rorschach helplessly gave up on the idea of taking a vacation and began to take things seriously, his temporary teammates, Marta, and the others, finished their discussion and walked over to him.
"We've decided to take an escort mission. If we have spare time, we'll also take on a treasure hunting mission. We won't consider hunting missions for now."
Rorschach's expression remained calm, but he was secretly giving a big thumbs up to this classmate of his who he hadn't talked to much.
As part of the tournament, if someone accepted an escort mission, they would be assigned an assassination mission. But generally speaking, the ratio would be one to three, with one team escorting the target and three teams intercepting the target.
Although the missions were quite difficult, the points would be quite high. Also, the points would be calculated based on the results of the escort mission and how many enemies were defeated.
Of course, the challenges would also be expected. With a veteran like Rorschach who pretended to be a newbie, it was highly unlikely that there would be any problems with three times the number of people.
On the other hand, if they chose an assassination mission with a higher reward, the points would be calculated based on their "kills." Although it would be easy to earn a lot of points, the situation would be completely out of control.
Rorschach approved of this choice, but it wasn't just because they knew their limits. Since they wanted to become members of the Game Church, they had chosen the most difficult test in front of him, the "interviewer." Not only would they inevitably encounter battles, but they would also be able to show off their combat strength. It was also highly unlikely that they would lose.
Assassination missions were always popular, but Rorschach felt that it was a trap. In the past, those who chose this mission didn't have a good ending.
The relationship between the hunter and the prey was never fixed. After accepting this mission, anyone who killed you would be able to obtain a large number of points, which meant that you would always be in danger.
Even if you successfully obtained points in the early stages, the coordinates of the second half of the tournament would be constantly announced. At this time, many people who failed the main mission or wanted to perform better would be frantically looking for opportunities to obtain points.
Even if you performed well in the early stages, you might not be able to escape from the hands of the "hunters" who didn't have enough points. Moreover, the points deducted from being killed were extremely high. Most of the "hunters" would end up with negative points.
Marta, who was in front of him, knew the limits of her ability and her position. She made the most appropriate choice. She was a smart person who knew when to advance and when to retreat. She wasn't greedy. At the very least, she was a qualified team leader.
Rorschach admired Seiji's age for being so mature despite being in his age group.
However, this didn't mean that he would approve of her choice. On the contrary, Rorschach, who was smiling, threw out a difficult choice.
