The atmosphere is a bit awkward...
Zongchen laughed dryly and changed the subject: "As you know, there are different types of costs!"
"The most common one is the real-time payment type. Every time you use the contract ability, you need to do certain things and then pay the price. Most of us are like this. In addition, there are prohibited prices, the price of this type of contract ability. It’s a lifetime ban on certain behaviors.”
"The prohibition of type costs allows for the freedom to use contract abilities without restriction, without being affected by original sin, until the contractor's talisman source is exhausted. Therefore, contractors who prohibit type costs are more suitable for combat and are often more powerful. Captain Vera is this type .”
Having said this, Zongchen turned to look at Vera Alexandra and said with a smile:
"Actually, Vera has reached the orange level and is qualified to become the white punisher. However, I have been rejected several invitations."
Vera nodded and smiled: "I enjoy the current situation and don't want to be in white for the time being."
Zong Chen didn't care, nodded to Vera, and said nothing... He had a very easy-going personality and didn't have the airs of being the captain in white.
He continued:
"In addition to the above two types, there is also a type of continuous payment type! That is Akali's type."
"This type of contractor is just the opposite of the prohibited type. They need to continue to do something or maintain a certain state...The difference between this type and the real-time payment type is that they are not forced to pay after using the contract ability, but as long as they maintain this state, You can use the contract ability at any time without being affected by original sin."
Mozhi nodded: "I understand."
He, Uncle Cat, Zong Chen and others belong to the real-time payment category. Every time they use the contract ability, they will be tortured by the original sin and have to pay the price. However, people like Akali can make potions at any time as long as they keep the milk supply at all times. It’s good to be in a state of abundance…
The price thing is really weird...but the latter two types don't have to suffer the torture of original sin, which is a bit enviable.
If you don't have to endure headaches and can pay the price at will, then you can use your mind-reading skills at will, and no one will have any secrets in front of you...
Wait, if that's the case, wouldn't it be... Suddenly something came to mind, and he said in surprise:
"Akali Baiyi's support ability is very strong!"
Zongchen nodded:
"Of course! You found it."
"She can produce potions almost unlimitedly. As long as she has time, she can keep making potions! The shelf life of ten days is also quite long..."
"When necessary, Akali's potion is enough to support a team of more than a dozen people and provide support for the entire squadron in white!"
Awesome! Mu Zhibing stopped the twitching corners of his mouth and secretly glanced at Akali's figure again with his peripheral vision... Sure enough, it was even more powerful than Captain Vera!
The reason why I do this secretly is because I am afraid that the other party will hammer me to death if they find out...
"output"! That's right, that's what Zongchen said! The painting style is suddenly a little weird... I think if Akali has a baby, she will be strong and happy... This is a food surplus in a certain sense.
Akali suddenly gave an unpredictable look, with a serious look on her face, as if to say:
I am still single!
…….Well, it was discovered! Unpredictable sneered, embarrassed.
Revise that...your future partner and future baby are equally happy.
Zongchen didn't know that the two were talking to each other in the air, so he continued to introduce:
"Each level up, Akali can make two more potions... Now at the orange level, she can make six kinds in total! Healing potions are very practical and can heal wounds quickly... Agility potions and strength potions are also good, and can bring Not a bad increase.”
Uncle, please stop talking, okay? The style of painting is weird again... I always imagine that you are being milked by your team members.
Fortunately, sister Rebecca is in a coma now, otherwise she would be silently worried about her figure again when she hears this topic...
At this moment, Director Yang Yi came over with the half-dead Yuan Ming and threw him on the ground:
"I paid the price for this guy, we can't let him die!"
Yuan Ming has used his contract ability, and he also needs to pay a price, otherwise he will die or become a spirit puppet... He is an important clue person, so he cannot be taken advantage of so easily.
"His original sin was skin itching, and the price was a hot bath." Vera glanced at Yuan Ming and sighed:
"I was his contractor mentor."
Contractor mentor? Unpredictable was stunned for a moment... He had some vague suspicions about Luo Qing seeing Yuan Ming.
"Hot bath? That's easy!" Zongchen laughed.
The fifth chief had just fought against the water snake, and the entire hill was now covered with puddles of all sizes... Zongchen just waved his hand gently, and steam came out of a deep puddle next to it.
This is his auxiliary skill for controlling magma, heating...it's the same as Uncle Cat's rigidity.
In order to prevent Yuan Ming from dying of excessive blood loss from the wound, Akali fed him a bottle of healing potion before throwing him into the "homemade hot spring".
Of course, Yuan Ming wore "Annihilation" handcuffs throughout the whole process. This symbol source language can limit the flow of symbol sources and is suitable for use on contractors...
After taking care of Yuan Ming, Zongchen took out a shovel from the warehouse and handed it to Vera: "Help me."
Vera was very familiar with Zongchen and knew the price he paid. She took the shovel and dug hard into the ground... With her extraordinary strength, she quickly dug a deep pit.
Zongchen jumped into the pit and took out an iron cigarette case from his uniform pocket.
"This is a warehouse, specifically used to pay the price."
After saying that, he manipulated the source of symbols...
Cigarette box symbols circulated in the warehouse, and a large amount of rubble was dumped out, filling the entire pit in an instant... Zongchen had been buried under the rubble, with only his head sticking out of the ground, and smiled bitterly at everyone:
"The price of melting rock is to be buried in stone..."
Unpredictable: "..."
Iron Eagle Westo smiled: "You must know...the contractor's disclosure of the price to others is a great trust in the other party. The captain recognizes you very much!"
Indeed, fighting side by side brings trust and friendship... This is also because of character. Although the punisher in white is of a higher level, the three Zongchen have no airs.
"You guys are great!"
Zong Chen smiled and turned his head to look at Mo Zhi:
"When I was in the lobby, I discovered that you, like Akali, can deal with each other without contract ability, and realized that this is a great advantage!"
"Original sin is an unavoidable factor in a contractor's battle. If you don't use the contract ability, as long as you hold on, the enemy will be affected by the original sin before you do, and will have to pay the price... Your chance will come."
"Secondly, you two made a mistake at that time... Neither of you has any offensive power. If you work together to face two attacking contractors, you will be at an absolute disadvantage. It is better to separate..."
Unexpectedly, something moved in his heart, and he suddenly smiled and said:
"...So, you forcefully attacked Beate Nanny, destroyed the entire hall with a large amount of magma, and used geographical factors to forcefully separate the two of us and face our opponents alone..."
"Yes, it turns out that this effect is good." Zongchen wanted to reach out and pat Mozhi's shoulder to encourage him, but found that he couldn't move at all, so he said instead:
"I didn't expect that you defeated your opponent very easily!"
Mozhi wanted to say a few words of humility and ask if Pandora would reward him with a few hundred gold dollars since he had merit, but he was interrupted by Douglas who ran back...
The biologist had paid the price, got dressed and ran back panting.
There was originally a joyful atmosphere. Zongchen was praising everyone in a senior manner, but was made a little embarrassed by the arrival of Douglas... Zongchen was stiff for two seconds, but he still said insincerely:
"You... are also very good!"
"Me? Thank you!" Douglas nodded: "I know I'm pretty good..."
Zongchen's eyelids jumped and he hesitated for a few seconds before he could formulate his words:
"...You know how to protect yourself perfectly in battle and then be effective at the critical moment..."
"Anyway, you rescued me from the water!"
Douglas nodded solemnly.
This senior is really a good old man. He doesn't have the style of being a captain in white at all. He takes good care of the face of the lower-level contractors... Mu Zhi secretly smiled.
Douglas suddenly poked Unpredictable with his elbow, his face lit up with joy, and he laughed loudly:
"Hahahaha, I have good news for you!"
"I earned it!"
"Xinglong Villa has collapsed. I don't have to pay back the ten gold yuan I owe Ai Liang!"
"I've been hiding from Ai Liang for several days. Fortunately, I withstood the pressure and didn't pay him back. I've been putting it off until today..."
Vera Alexandra has black lines all over her head.
…
Yang Yi took Carlisle and Lady Catherine to clean up the battlefield. Although Xinglong Villa was in ruins, the source stones of the dead contractors needed to be recovered.
Pandora still has very strict control over Origin Stones.
Under the investigation of the spirit puppet, it is not difficult to find the corpse of the contractor. Not only the source stone, but also the corpse must be recovered and examined one by one.
During this period, everyone was waiting for Zongchen and Luo Qing to pay the price, waiting for Rebecca to wake up and chat casually...
Unpredictable is a bit melancholy. I didn't expect Pandora to take action against Xinglong Villa so early... If I had known this, I would have spent all my savings on buying low-priced source stones. I will definitely make a fortune... Now and in the future, I will finally find the source stones. The stone channel is interrupted.
Moreover, the fat woman's necklace that was seized together with Uncle Cat must also be turned over...
I always feel like I'm at a loss.
Uncle Cat was somewhat interested in Bai Yi's identity, so he asked a few questions...
Originally, Pandora's internal organizational structure was kept secret from the local punishers, and even Vera, as the captain, had limited knowledge.
However, as the impact of this incident exceeded expectations, not only did they encounter young contractors, but even the so-called fifth chief took action, and they would also interrogate Yuan Ming and Das at the Hot Spring City Supervision Office, and there was no way to hide anything. significance…
Of course, the Pandora headquarters should have considered interrogating locally in Hot Spring City - after all, it is a long way to escort Das back to Ayerkula Island, where the headquarters is located, and mishaps may occur during the process, so it is better to solve it locally.
This actually tacitly agreed to disclose information to the Punisher team in Hot Spring City from another angle... Zongchen had his own confidence in this and selectively disclosed some things.
"White" is a team of punishers directly under Pandora's headquarters. Its full name is the Punisher Council. It is one of the oldest organizations within Pandora;
The Punisher Council is an armed organization in Pandora. Its main responsibilities are to control the world of contractors, uphold the "Convention", implement "God's Punishment", and follow the "Punisher Manual" like the Punishers everywhere. In other words... the inspection offices of each city In fact, it is the subordinate local organization of the Punisher Council, which is under the jurisdiction of the Punisher Council;
The Punisher Council has its own independent reaction force, which is the "white department" wearing the white uniform of the Supervision Office... Zongchen and others belong to this department. They are usually stationed at the Pandora headquarters and go to various places to deal with tasks after receiving them. Key events.
After all, the Punisher teams in various local inspection agencies have limited strength, and occasionally encounter cases that are beyond their control... At this time, Bai Yi will act as a backup force and reinforcements for the Punisher teams in various places to assist.
Of course, the team in white also has other important tasks, one of which is to capture the exiled contractors on the "Hidden List"... There are many high-level bosses on the Hidden List, which is not something that the Punisher squads from all over the world can handle.
Under normal circumstances, the lowest level of the white organization is orange level. About three to five people work together in a group, and the leader is at least yellow level.
Speaking of this, Zongchen sighed:
"Actually, there are four people in our team... During the mission last month, one of our team members was unfortunately killed. The opponent was a yellow-level contract breaker."
"As a white-coated person, you will always have to face more powerful opponents and life-threatening dangers. There is no doubt about this."
After hearing what Zongchen said, Vera repeated the mantra she often said:
"The heavy price far outweighs the benefits brought by ability..."
Unexpectedly, his heart moved and he asked:
"By the way...Is the Chief the leader of the Punisher Council? Chief...this name is a bit strange. Since he is the Chief, why is there a fifth..."
Zong Chen's face froze, and he turned to look at Vera: "Are all your team members' brain circuits so strange..."
However, he still explained:
"The Punisher Council is just one of the Pandora organizations. There are six leaders in total... The reason why it is called the chief is because there are six people in the Punisher Council who can participate in the Wisdom Council, which means there are six seats."
"The Wisdom Parliament is the highest decision-making level in Pandora and the apex of power in Pandora!"
So that's it... Mozhi finally has some understanding of the organization he belongs to, just like as a grassroots village official, he finally knows about the National Citizens' Congress.
It’s so far away from that level! However, Mozhu, who has no motivation, has no motivation or expectations for that level, he is just like this.
"Even as the captain in white, I rarely see the six chiefs..." Zong Chen added:
"The six chiefs of the council... are all at least green level or above. You have also seen that even the projection of the fifth chief is enough to fight against the green level nine-headed water snake."
That's the real boss! No...it's a giant. Unpredictably, he underestimated it silently and remembered a question that has been bothering him for a long time:
"By the way, Mr. Zongchen, I have a question that I haven't been able to figure out."
Everyone looked sideways, and Zong Chen also looked over... After a series of cooperation, he had a good impression of Mu Zhi.
