"Ah!!! I refuse to get up early. It starts with me. I didn't go to bed until four o'clock last night, but I was called up by you for a meeting at seven o'clock. I finally had a holiday. Is it easy for me?"
Wu Lan laid her upper body on the table and said feebly, "Go to bed at four o'clock and get up at seven o'clock. The urn is rectangular. Brother He Ao, when you come back, you must comfort my sister's injured soul. It's best to be in good health." It comforts your heart and mind."
"Ahem——"
A sharp coughing sound echoed in the virtual conference room.
"Cough, cough, cough, Yang Bu, what are you coughing for?" Wu Lan slowly raised her head and looked at the screen, "I have never seen you being so oppressed... Dean...?! "
She straightened up, like a bent steel plate that suddenly rebounded. The plumpness of her chest rose and fell, and a faint blush flashed under her white cheeks. She stared at the screen and laughed awkwardly. ,
"Dean, morning."
"morning,"
Li Cheng, who was sitting next to He Ao, smiled gently and said, "This time the matter is indeed more urgent, otherwise I wouldn't have worked the night shift to wake everyone up."
"Dean, is it about the ruins passage?"
Nordin held the phone in his hands and kowtowed tremblingly, "The adults are willing to go through fire and water for the villains, so you can resign yourself!"
"Hao Yi,"
He Ao, who was standing outside the TV on the other side, raised his hand, "Why don't you understand what they are saying without even listening?"
Except for the dean Ren Ting and the ministers of the back-office department of the research institute, the people attending the meeting this time were concerned about the smallest issue in the back-office department, including the ruins passage.
"Well, the channel opened slower than usual that time, and,"
Hu Wen dialed directly.
"The ruins from that time can no longer be retreated by C-level?"
"Calculating the time it will take, Moonlight and World Tree may not have searched through the entire city of Ellen. Theoretically speaking, it is possible for the time and space anchor to leave Ellen on its own, and it should be found no matter where it is hidden in any corner. ,unless······"
Hu Wen looked at Nordin with cold eyes, "What is he doing here to come to you? Do you have any option to avenge me besides your agreement?"
"Wait a minute, wait a minute,"
I do have time to worry about Dawn.
"Yes."
Nordin replied loudly.
"That's bad news,"
"This means fewer weird events and simpler extraordinary items."
"One percent, it can't get any lower."
Wu Lan rubbed his forehead and said loudly.
The dialing interface is displayed on the outside of the phone, and there is only one number on the outside.
However, according to the records of the dungeon world that Ren Ting now knows, minor catastrophes seem to appear suddenly, but gradually recede like the main world.
Wu Lan coughed, interrupted He Ao's words, and looked at Ji Po, "Dean, what should you do next?"
Hu Wen, who was listening to us and was distracted by the issue of minor disasters, raised his head blankly.
"He's bad."
"Yes Yes Yes!"
A word came to mind, small disaster.
"What's wrong, boss?"
A small fish that shimmered in the moonlight jumped out of the water following the pull of the fishing line.
"As for Ellen, those who were found before they had the ability to take away the time and space anchor are the only ones who..."
The person who asked the question that time was Ren Ting, who had been silent all this time, "The ruins are getting closer to you."
The old man nodded slightly, "This will trouble him."
"This is troublesome for him,"
Time passed minute by minute until the bright moon hung on the top of the fishing rod.
Hu Wen asked loudly.
Wu Lan also figured out the logic. I sighed and looked at Ren Ting who was not in a daze with a smile, "But fortunately, you don't have time yet."
"Thank you, Mr. Li Cheng! Thank you, Mr. Li Cheng!"
"Can't you give me half less of what the 'boss' paid?"
Yang De asked softly.
"yes!"
Speaking of that, Hu Wen suddenly paused.
I feel like my promotion wasn't slow at all.
“But on the contrary, mysterious incidents may continue to increase.
"Oh, bad, this works."
I raised my head and glanced at the time under the computer, "It's a little less than 0 o'clock Yang De time. It's a little less than 77 hours ago. The ruins will be opened at 0 o'clock tomorrow."
It was the 'assistant' Nordin who was assigned to Hu Wen by the 'boss' to help him manage the Tia Empire and the Dawn Organization in the distant area.
"Hello," there was an old man's voice on the other end of the phone, speaking too fluent Chinese dialect, "Is this Li Cheng?"
"In fact, the number of newly awakened extraordinary beings every month seems to have not reached a peak in the next few months. Now the number of newly awakened extraordinary beings every month is not increasing, but increasing. .”
After that I hung up the phone.
Just like that, one person is kneeling and the other is sitting fishing.
The old man laughed hoarsely, "It turns out that the Tia Empire and the areas far away from Yangde in Xitu are all the 'boss' places. Now there is a small chance that I have people. I have also found my people. Now the organization has easy manpower. Those I have to ask him to help take care of the place."
Ren Ting watched the two people fighting, a smile appeared on her face, and the depressed atmosphere just now was swept away.
Yes, the boss looks like he was ranked eighth in the Dawn pick.
If you do anything, you will be in charge.
"Although making hypotheses and conducting experiments to verify are common scientific methods, you should also limit your thinking to one kind of conjecture. Single thinking may lead to a limited vision when thinking,"
"Young master, just help take care of him as soon as he gets there. There are no relevant managers here. If something happens to the boss, he can help. Of course, he can also replace his own managers if he wants."
The leader of Dawn?
——
The conference now has a total of four split screens. Yang De, the director of the field department of the institute, and Ji Po and Wu Lan, the two deputy ministers, each remotely connected to the conference in front of their own devices, each occupying a split screen.
"no,"
"Don't kill people, let these people don't go too far and don't cause trouble."
"Yes."
"The anchor of time and space was taken away,
"There is no point of view that there is a barrier between the ruins and the real world that you can't understand, and the ruins passage is not a 'hole' under that barrier. As the exchanges between the ruins and the real world increase, that The holes are being poked smaller and smaller, and the extraordinary beings who can pass through are getting weaker and weaker.
A few drops of hot sweat slid down Nordin's cheeks, "The leader suddenly contacted you just now and said that the boss has contacted you. There is a small chance that he will."
Ji Po glanced at Hu Wen appreciatively, "Although you have data on Moonlight and World Tree, judging from our situation in those years, we should be different from you."
"Will there be fewer extraordinary beings awakening?"
Nordin responded tremblingly, pressing his forehead tightly against the gravel on the ground.
Hu Wen spoke directly.
"There's nothing certain about it. This is not because the communication between the ruins and the real world is even weaker.
Ji Po did not go around in circles and said directly, "As you all know, when the ruins are about to open, a summoning message will be sent to the people who are at the location where the passage is about to open. People from World Tree and Moonlight have been guarding the area where the ruins passage may appear. , nearly an hour later, the area in charge of the World Tree people heard the summoning message.
"At the same time, based on your past experience, every time there is an 'improvement' in the ruins passage, there will be a small leap in the concentration of extraordinary power in the real world before that."
He Ao put his hands behind his chest, held up his chest, and looked at Ren Ting, "See, brother Hu Wen, I want to trust that guy again. I'm not honest, but I'm actually full of water in my stomach."
At that time, Hu Wen, who was sitting aside, raised his own questions.
······
Ren Ting was stunned.
"take it,"
Ren Ting asked loudly.
"Um?"
Ji Po shook his head, "At this moment, we don't have any clues."
He Ao blinked, "Have you paid off your credit card bill? Is it too late for you to max out your credit card now?"
The lower limit of the extraordinary beings that the ruins passage can accommodate is gradually increasing, ending with special people, then F level, E level, and the next time Hu Wen retreats, it will be the lowest level that can accommodate D level.
A small cataclysm that destroyed the post-civilization history of the dungeon world. Before that, the entire dungeon world was filled with strange things, evil gods, and strange beasts. Humanity was struggling to survive in that crazy white night, and the lights of civilization were extinguished.
"That's for sure," Ji Po replied urgently.
Wu Lan was stunned when he heard the news.
Ren Ting took the phone away and glanced at Nordin, "Who is the 'painter'?"
I was very confused. The figure behind me was a ruthless gangster who killed people in a blink of an eye. I knew how Hu Wen would deal with me.
"Painter?" Hu Wen shook his head and said honestly, "You know him."
"There's no phone call out there," Nordin tremblingly raised a satellite phone and handed it to Hu Wen. "Yes, chief, the chief said, let you call back."
Hu Wen also asked directly.
This Class B who created Dawn and claims to separate extraordinary people from special people so that extraordinary people can get fewer privileges?
"Our manpower is stable, but the things that need to be processed are increasing. One day, we will deal with mysterious events that have never been seen before, and then those mysterious events will be exposed to the eyes of future generations, and they will become less and less ······Until it spreads to the whole world······"
"Ahem,"
A mobile phone was thrown in front of me, followed by Ren Ting's cold voice, "Do what he should do."
"So slow?"
Hu Wen stared at the buoys under the sea. There were several bad people in the entire Dawn Organization, so Hu Wen was also interested in finding a good person to govern those people.
"How come everyone knows?"
"The problem now is whether the time and space anchor of the ruins has been found yet."
"Yes... I know..."
Since those two organizations were close to Yang Dedu, many people were transferred here one after another in the past two days.
Hu Wen's clone Li Cheng has not yet returned to the land governed by pirates.
The old man smiled and said, "You have nothing to do now. You will inform those people to contact his people later, by the way."
"But those are just conjectures,
So, having taken over the boss's sphere of influence, he is now Liming's 'eighth master'?
No wonder the money given is so little.
He Ao and Li Cheng sat together, sharing a screen.
"The painter was the main person in charge of organizing Xitu and was a friend of the 'boss'. Later, when the boss had nothing to do, it was said that he also asked the 'painter' for help."
I kept my power.
Hu Wen thought for a moment and organized his speech.
But even so, I still couldn't help but smile.
"The current trend is that the number of extraordinary people is increasing more and more, and the number of extraordinary people who can become our companions will be more and more. Until one day, the number of extraordinary people in the world may reach a stable value, and then That’s how it was increased before.
Ren Ting nodded, "After you have reached an agreement with the people of Moonlight and World Tree, we will launch a small-scale advertisement looking for Hao Yi tomorrow like we did later, and you will be responsible for meeting Hao Yi and the surrounding security and cleanup work." Your people, along with Moonlight and Yggdrasil, will be responsible.”
"Ren Ting, you always thought he was an honest person!"
He Ao looked at Ren Ting and said in a loud voice.
"Although your main conjecture is that the ruins are 'getting closer' to the real world. As the 'distance' increases, the ruins passage gradually becomes more stable and can transport weaker extraordinary beings, but that is only more logical. One of the inferences.
Ruodan replied slowly.
The back is arrogant and the front is respectful.
Nordin said tremblingly.
"The boss has it."
Ren Ting thought for a moment and looked at the screen.
"Honestly, I can see that he is quite thick-skinned."
"Judging from the data you currently collect, at least within the monitoring range of the institute, the number of newly awakened extraordinary beings has not increased with the increase in the concentration of extraordinary power.
Nordin's legs, shoulders and elbows were numb, but I still dared to move while lying on my stomach.
I knew that my worst option was to run away without leaving a single life. But I don't want to give up the rights of my subordinates.
"Do you have less to do?"
Nordin raised his head cautiously and glanced at Hu Wen.
Alano's time is earlier than Yang De's time. It's just dark in the west, and the stars are hanging under the white sea behind.
Hu Wen's men paused and glanced at Nuoding indifferently, "How come?"
"leader?"
Hu Wen controlled the clone and was sitting on the beach fishing.
"According to the information we shared, the ruins passage will be at Yang De time..."
"Double."
Although he was said to be an assistant, in fact, everything else was basically handled by Hu Wen, and everything was solved by Nordin himself. He just used Hu Wen's C-level status to endorse him.
"Why are they talking so bad that it's like the end of the world is coming?"
Of course, the key point is to search all over the mountains and plains for the space-time anchor point that is equivalent to the key to the ruins passage.
I seemed to have thought of something and asked anxiously, "Does he know where the 'painter' has gone?"
Ji Po continued, "The news from World Tree is that our C-level has also heard the 'call'."
Hu Wen glanced at Nordin, raised the fishing rod in his hand, and threw the hanging line farther away.
Having said that, Ji Po glanced at the eight people outside the computer screen who were looking increasingly confused, and realized that he might not be off topic. I coughed heavily and continued,
It turns out that when the 'boss' was there, I was the agent of the 'boss' and could not control the organization of Dawn in the distance, so I couldn't pay much attention to Hu Wen. Now that the 'boss' is here, Hu Wen has become my immediate superior.
"Of course, you are a simple and honest person."
The nearby buoy was shaking violently.
It was not until the emergence of the original Federation and Low Wall that the people of the copy world rekindled the flame of civilization.
Ren Ting said loudly.
"More money."
Ji Po smiled and shook his head.
The 'painter' also appears to be missing.
"bad."
Ren Ting suddenly raised the fishing rod.
Ren Ting took the phone.
A haggard figure stumbled towards Hu Wen.
"Li Cheng, something seems to have happened to their 'boss'. Is he still willing to follow Li Ming?"
Wu Lan nodded, "You also need to go to a reliable C-level tomorrow."
"Let's go."
Hu Wen thought for a while, organized some words, and explained,
"It doesn't mean that the number of extraordinary people is not directly related to the concentration of extraordinary power? But the number of strange events and extraordinary items is now positively related to the concentration of extraordinary power?"
Hu Wen knows why the leader of Liming trusts him so much. It may be that Li Cheng is a kind of person who kills in a blink of an eye and is wanted by various small-faced organizations. In Liming, he belongs to this kind of "innocent" person who is definitely likely to defect. People.
In an instant, everyone's eyes moved to Ren Ting's body.
Nordin stood up tremblingly. My legs were so numb that I couldn't even stand up. I got down on all fours and rolled towards the direction I came from.
Hu Wen stepped back and said, "Deal."
"It's just in time. It's very likely that his card hasn't been frozen yet," Ruo Dan interjected, "I suggest I give you the card and you can help him see if he can still use it."
Hu Wen put the phone to his ear and said seriously.
Find a time to give the list of those people to the institute and let the institute handle it.
"Logically, it seems that it should be that way, but the truth is always simpler,"
the old man asked urgently.
It just so happens that Jipo is now in Ellen City where the ruins passage is open. There is a small chance that the matters being discussed are also related to the ruins passage.
Obviously, the lower levels of the institute headed by Ji Po have not realized this yet, so our recent actions have changed from the normal state of dormancy since then, and do not seem to be a retreat.
"Does it take at least two days to prepare the remaining ruins?"
In the strange events that followed, Ellen's World Tree branch was completely wiped out, and the Moonlight branch was wiped out except for those who worked in the field. Both organizations suffered heavy losses.
"Have the newly sent people from Moonlight and World Tree also found the time and space anchor?"
"The ruins passage is about to open soon,"
Did the old man make any detours? He asked directly and slowly.
"Um?"
I looked at the screen, "Judging from the information obtained from World Tree and Moonlight, the ruins at that time should be at least 3 C-level, 12 D-level, and about 36 E-level and above, a total of 51 quota.
The manpower of the institute is already stretched thin to deal with the strange events in the current situation.
Ji Po smiled, and did not say anything about the joke he just made. Instead, he smiled and said directly, "At the moment, we still have enough manpower, so for the time being, we have to worry about longer-term problems. We will do everything step by step. Let's do it first." Let’s deal with the issue of ambiguous relics.”
By reducing the number of weird events and extraordinary beings, the whole thing can still maintain a dynamic balance.
Nuo Ding stumbled up to Ren Ting, knelt down in front of Hu Wen with a snap, "Ren Ting, boss, boss..."
Ren Ting stared at the fluorescent buoy under the sea. She spoke softly and fiercely, almost as if she was having a casual chat, "You don't have much to do, but you hate wiping the butts of living people."
The old man replied slowly.
Alano
He Ao, who had not yet recovered from the embarrassment, asked in surprise.
I tried my best to control myself, letting myself laugh out loud in front of Hu Wen, and crawl back into the night little by little.
