"Sharpening a gun in the heat of battle...are you trying to usurp the throne?" Xie Junping couldn't help but complain and left a message in the group, breaking the silence for several minutes.
Zhang Yingying seemed to be recovering. She rolled her eyes at first: "How can he have such leisure?"
"Maybe it's Armageddon." Zhugan thought of a possibility, "I think it's to prepare for going to Harbin. Although the trip has been postponed again and again, we will go there sooner or later."
Octopus, who was not present at the scene, was quite interested in this topic: "That kind of chaotic devil's cave is completely incomparable with Xia Cheng, okay? If he usurps the position of President Ouyang, maybe President Xiaoxiao will give it to him. Over there, are you going to have a fight with Apollyon first, destroy the city of Haden into ruins and then rebuild it?"
"Hey, it sounds weird!"
The plot in the consciousness space is certainly very touching. But back to reality, Wen Huilan, who was given a clear request, smiled like a flower, and her mentality was obviously more cautious:
"My words were nothing more than data analysis of some accounts. Generally speaking, everyone was not offended before and was quite tolerant, but they had no shame to make any more suggestions or warnings..."
"That's what you said. You, 'Hui Xing', just saw a decline in the local output on the account, so you laid the line to Xiacheng. Such a decision would be hasty. I don't think it will - there should be 1,234 others." Reasons are valid.”
Ronan held down an armor module that was about to be put on his arm, and commanded the transport robot to take it back to the workshop to do some work: "Even if you do make hasty decisions and come here to spend money in a hurry, it doesn't matter. Play on the spot Just say two more, just treat it as a proposition composition. I can't tell whether the previous ones are your thoughts or Gao Wenfu's meaning...
"You can express yourself freely now. If what you say makes sense and touches my point of interest, it might save me a lot of trouble later."
"..."
It's not even a requirement, it's an order.
There was no way Wen Huilan could make excuses anymore, she lowered her eyes and thought for a moment, then smiled and said: "Well, Professor Ruo Luo, if you don't mind, I will use two people from your branch as examples to share my views on some things. "
"Two people? Do I know them?"
"I know you."
"Which two?"
Wen Huilan looked directly at Ronan, and her smile became brighter and more charming: "Professor Luo, please forgive me for being a little pretentious and nagging about some background."
"……Can."
So Wen Huilan began a new round of her discussion, and this time, she seemed to pay more attention to the communication and interaction with Ronan:
"I would like to ask one more question, have you paid attention to the data changes of the registered ability users in Xia City?"
Ronan was very cooperative: "No."
"I have seen some. Since Xiacheng is the world's leading level in terms of training, protection, subsidies, and expedition logistics support for capable people, the influx of new registrations every year is also among the best, and the total number of registered personnel remains at 1,000. Above the name, a group is prosperous.
"But if you analyze it more deeply, you can see that before December last year, to be precise, before your 'Blood Ring Fortress' was born, there was already a substantial outflow of senior ability users above the awakened level. "
"Substantial outflow means that talent cannot be retained?" Ronan turned his attention to the bamboo pole. He should be one of the experts on this kind of data.
experts.
Zhugan touched his chin: "The concept of substantial leakage is actually controversial. It refers to the situation where the membership remains in a certain city but does not live in the place of membership for a long time - the problem is that everyone is capable, and registration My profession is also an explorer, and wandering in the wilderness is part of my job. It is normal to work outside for seven or eight months a year."
Wen Huilan shook her head: "Mr. Zhugan, I calculated according to the strictest 'three-year standard'. From November 1993 to November 1996, within the 36-month period, Xia City's awakened people and above, including D level Among the 'weakly awakened' people, there are only 827 people who have lived in Xiacheng for more than 6 months, which is a decrease of nearly 100 people from the previous round of statistics;
"As for Class B and above, the situation is not optimistic. Your branch did not include Professor Luo, Vice President He Yueyin and Mr. Zhugan yourself at that time. During the statistical period, there were only 14 relevant registered personnel.
"Leave aside the jokes of President Ouyang, His Majesty Emperor Wu, and the Blood Flame Order... Oh, this should be three."
Everyone present knows this joke: the registration of the Blood Flame Order's branch in Xia City is indeed a bit of a joke.
But no matter what, Mrs. Halder, Meng Chong, and the dead Morun, these three B-level ability users were indeed included in the registered personnel back then - and now they are of course "outflows".
Wen Huilan was really familiar with the relevant figures and situations, showing her strong intelligence and memory abilities, and her tone became more and more certain: "Of the remaining 9 people, I can say with certainty that 4 have been substantially leaked. personnel."
"How can there be so many!" Paper Cut shouted.
"Sometimes impressions are wrong."
Wen Huilan pursed her lips and smiled - I have to say that she is really a master of confusing age, and she is very good at taking advantage of it. The deep and clear smile lines on the left corner of the lips when smiling calmly carry the accumulation of time and experience, and seem to be able to cope with all doubts.
At the scene, Zhang Yingying suddenly let out a very low sigh.
Wen Huilan still had time to glance over at her, and then faced Ronan with such a smile: "In the archival sense, Professor Luo is a standard new employee. He only registered in the branch at the end of September last year. There should be no relevant information before. It would be most appropriate for you to verify the concept.”
Ronan also laughed: "What to verify?"
"I can name at least two B-level registrants in your club who you have no memory of, or whose names you have only heard of but never seen in person. They are already extremely inactive in Xia City, and you should have never interacted with them... "
Wen Huilan immediately named the two names, but Ronan was really not impressed.
Xie Junping tried to help with the paper-cutting: "You said 4 just now, but this is only 2..."
"There is another one, it should be the Horned Demon." Zhugan added with a frown.
This guy just contributed the base material for Ronan's one-way portal last month, and the way he died really gave people nightmares - he had left Xia City for a long time before that.
"This is a special case." Paper Cut scratched his head, "He offended His Majesty the Emperor Wu..."
"It should be a typical example." Wen Huilan used a very cute tone of voice to dispel the discussion atmosphere filled with too much desire to win and lose. "This is exactly the example I want to mention, but I will talk about it later. .”
The paper cut was choked, and Fang said: "Where is the other one?"
"
You may be more familiar with that person. Wen Huilan directly named him, "It's Mr. Baoyan." "
"Aha?"
Paper-cut thought to himself that this was nonsense. Who didn't know that Baoyan, Zongji and Juji were the only three B-level physical flanking forces in the branch. Even if he enters Class B, it is largely because of his extraordinary physical strength, which is somewhat controversial, but there is absolutely nothing to say about his stance.
Said he leaked...eh?
Papercut suddenly became confused: Chatting in the friend group didn't count. When was the last time he saw Baoyan in Xia City?
"Mr. Bakugan is the first typical example I want to talk about."
Wen Huilan used enough data to shake the minds of most people present, so she stopped going around and went straight to the point:
"Actually, the reason for the outflow of people is very simple: Due to the decline in Xia City's abnormal properties year by year, this fastest way for ability users to make money is no longer enough to support the expenses of nearly a thousand ability users. Although Xia City has cultivated their abilities, It has increased their experience, but once their material income declines, a considerable number of people still choose to leave..."
Xie Junping snorted: "You said Brother Baoyan is doing it for money?"
Wen Huilan smiled broadly: "Shouldn't Mr. Xie say that Mr. Baoyan, who has entered a period of explosive growth in strength, chose to be self-reliant in order to avoid increasing the burden on the supply of distorted products to the Xiacheng branch?"
Paper Cut and Xie Junping were speechless for a moment.
In fact, in the group, Xie Junping had previously posted a message @ Explosive Rock and wanted him to come out and speak out. But Baoyan didn't respond, and he didn't participate in the previous discussion in the group. It was obvious that he had entered a dangerous area without the support of Lingbo Network... and might even go further.
This made it increasingly difficult for the members of the Xia City branch at the discussion site to argue - everyone knew that the core reason why Baoyan wandered in the wilderness for many years was to practice, and he had indeed made greater progress than when he was in the city.
Some of them even thought more: it seems that most of these B-class strongmen who have been stationed in Xia City for a long time are indeed old, entering a stable period or even declining.
I won’t talk about Mr. You’s reputation. The others, such as Mr. Bai, Zongji, Juju... they are all in their sixties or seventies, have families and careers, and are basically no longer linked to the profession of "explorer".
As for Master Gao Meng, he is considered to be in the prime of life, his strength is still on the rise, and he doesn't travel far. But he is President Ouyang's right-hand man and an important member of the Lingbo Network maintenance team. The situation is special.
The newly promoted B-level bamboo poles are also in a period of rapid growth, but now there is a "Blood Ring Fortress" that can fly to the Abyss District anytime and anywhere, and stay for most of the night - compared to the previous B-level spiritual side in the Abyss District. The embarrassment of seconds, what else do you need a bicycle for?
Not to mention that both of them are on the spiritual side, and their demand for aberrant products is much lower than that on the physical side like Baoyan.
Oh, Wen Huilan also mentioned the factor of "Blood Ring Fortress". The time points are all stuck in advance, leaving people speechless.
Finally, Ronan broke the silence: "Brother Baoyan is a good example."
Ronan said this, which is tantamount to acknowledging Wen Huilan's argument logic. Of course there were people in the group of friends who were not convinced, but at this time, no one would question Ronan's decision.
After a pause, Ronan asked again: "What about the other example...where is the Horned Demon?"
