"Expansion - do you mean that the company needs to recruit new employees!?" Spade asked hurriedly, as if he was interested.
“Yes.” Zhao Ye nodded, neither hurriedly nor slowly, “Not only you, the company also needs basic employees.
They need to take on corresponding duties and serve as clerks in the new card store I will open in the future, and at the same time assist you in completing some of your work tasks.”
"Our work?" You Zhou, who had fallen from the nest, was more sensitive to this word and asked, "You mean, our next work is not just about publicity and dueling?"
"Your job is probably still that." Zhaoye shook his head, "but the others are not doing this originally."
"Ah? Ah-ah!" You Zhou looked at Hei Tao, and only then did he realize what was going on.
Hei Tao shrugged. He didn't mind You Zhou's forgetfulness.
After all, You Zhou is a person who is only focused on dueling, and he himself has no fighting ability. The first impression is that he is definitely focused on dueling.
Although he himself had been beaten by the physical image more than once, he still just regarded the duel as a "duel", unlike Spade who had long since stopped treating it as a pure game.
Spade was not originally the person in charge of publicity. Although he was also a "Dueler", he was a Duelist who had undergone physical enhancement and was responsible for hunting monsters, turning them into cards, and maintaining order.
Although the two of them were close friends, his and You Zhou's directions were completely different.
“In the future, the company needs to move forward in three major directions.
One is responsible for supervising market conditions, investigating market data, assisting in card promotion, teaching card rules, etc., and is responsible for the [logistics] direction;
One is to deal with various abnormal phenomena within the company's jurisdiction, protect the duelists from attacks outside of the duel, and be responsible for the direction of the [battle];
The last one is the direction of the [Professional] that you are familiar with, where you mingle with all duelists, duel in person, and participate in various competitions. "
Logistics, combat, career?
These three nouns sound very serious, but when put together with playing cards, they seem very nonsensical.
“By the way, although I have conceived three directions and set up several departments according to their corresponding functions, I have not specifically designated a [minister].
After all, everything is just starting out, and no one knows who is good at what.
I respect your choice.”
Zhao Ye put down the plan in his hand, smiled and said to his employees: "If you are interested in any category, you can come to me and tell me, and then you can try it first.
After Duel Alley ends, there will be a long period of inactivity, and by then, you can try it out as much as you want.
I’d love to hear your choices.”
Zhaoye said to them with a smile.
But in fact, Zhao Ye's company also has a [fourth direction].
That is also the most important direction and the least known to outsiders.
【Singularity Technology】.
Zhao Ye is researching a super "technology" that can change the energy structure - perpetual motion machine.
After the duel in the back alley is over, it means that the [God Card] has been prepared and your [goal] has been achieved.
At the same time, it also means that he can concentrate on studying [wandering planet particles]. During that time, Zhaoye could no longer show up and handle things personally. Unfortunately, although there are talents in dueling, fighting, and telekinesis, there is a lack of talents in "scientific research".
But there's nothing we can do about it. How can we find that kind of person so easily?
In this process, it is also interesting to observe their possibilities.
Things.
"Okay, that's it for this meeting. Everyone can speak freely and discuss at will, or take time to relax, rest, and prepare for the next challenge."
"The next duel will be tomorrow. Let's look forward to God's next choice."
Chapter 84 Emerging Gambling Department
J Nest.
Under the neon lights.
Although it was broad daylight, there were still many strange lights on in this room.
The curtains in the room were drawn tightly, and no light from outside came in.
Several people in brown uniforms were sitting calmly in their seats.
"Oh? Is everyone here?"
After a while, a woman in her 30s or 40s pushed open the door, holding a pile of documents, and walked into the room in a hurry. Several employees immediately stood up and saluted her: "Minister."
The minister nodded.
In addition to the minister, there were about four other people in the room. One of them was so short that she could hardly support the uniform. Instead, she looked like a white-haired woman wearing a dress. She was the woman who had investigated the "Duel Monsters" in District 10, Faust.
There were three other people, some tall and some short, mostly men.
Among them, there was a man who attracted people's attention. He was tall and strong, with hair standing straight as if it had been sprayed with hairspray. Although he was wearing a coat, he looked quite oppressive.
"I think you should have a rough idea of what I called you here for, right?"
"Yes." Several people spoke.
The minister nodded, pulled over a huge display screen that was several meters high, and stuffed something into it.
After a burst of snowflakes flashed across the display screen, there was a crackling sound, and then a picture slowly emerged.
"Faust suggested replacing the old No. 4 configuration parts, which are about to be eliminated." The white-haired beauty Faust said.
"Really? But it doesn't matter." The minister didn't seem very interested in this. "Anyway, it's fine as long as it works."
A picture gradually lit up on the screen. High-rise buildings, airships, and cameras appeared one by one in front of the people sitting there, and the three-color transparent wall naturally did not escape their eyes.
"That [three-color wall]...is it the transparent wall that appeared the day before yesterday?" someone asked.
"Yes." The minister nodded, tapped the screen, and continued, "According to the report from [Ding Agency], this is the strange incident that suddenly occurred in the back alley."
"Although it only covers a small area, it is just a drop in the ocean compared to the entire back alley, but it can affect this area and even be seen in the [Nest]. This kind of thing is no simple thing."
Several people nodded, because they were close, they all saw the scene.
“Previously, colleagues in the back alley had reported to the company that they had encountered a [new technology] that they could not fully analyze.”
"Is it that [Duel Monster Card]?" someone asked.
"Yes and no." The minister shook his head. "In fact, after a period of research by several researchers in the company, they have discovered that the card has some strange power. Not only can it sense the emotions of the holder, but it can even seal a person."
Faust lowered his head and counted the lights in front of him. At this time, she didn't speak.
In fact, while the researchers were studying the cards and experimenting with their power, Faust had already mastered the technique of turning people into cards, but she had never mentioned it to anyone.
"In theory, after this analysis, the structure of the card has been completely mastered by our company. It should be easy to manufacture the card we want in the future.
But surprisingly, several researchers spent several days without being able to produce new cards. "
"Minister, you have already told us these things several times. There is no need to repeat them." The man who looked quite imposing interrupted the minister and asked coldly, "Just tell us your current conclusion."
"Al, don't be so impatient." The minister shook his head gently.
The imposing man called "Al" is Aljila, the good brother who shared weal and woe with Youzhou and entered the "nest" from the back alley together.
“In short, after a few days of experimentation and research, we locked some emotions in Meursault that did not belong to him, and used this as an opportunity to finally [create] a new card.
But even so, the effect is very ordinary. According to Meursault's report, the cards created the day before yesterday will eventually disappear into thin air. "
Several people frowned.
They didn't know why the minister was so concerned about the card.
As a prestigious "wing", J Company should have plenty of solutions.
It's just a card game. Even if it can increase combat power, it's limited and seems to be completely meaningless.
There are all kinds of casinos in the nest, even casinos for table games.
What kind of minister would specifically keep an eye on a new chess and card game?
Is it just because these cards can increase people's combat effectiveness?
The Minister shook his head.
"Keep watching."
The minister slid the screen, and the previous duel between Eudora and October flashed on the screen.
"Blood Demon and Finger?" Someone recognized them.
Whether it is the blood demon or the index finger, their symbols are too obvious.
The minister continued to slide the screen, and the next moment, it was the scene of Eudora losing the duel.
But this is not the point. The point is the red beam of light falling from the sky.
It was visible to the naked eye that Eudora's body had received substantial treatment. Although she had not recovered to her healthy state, she was at least "normal".
"That card, can it even do healing?" someone exclaimed.
"Strength enhancement, speed enhancement, sealing ability, healing ability... These cards can do many things we can think of."
"Well--"
The minister stroked his chin and chuckled, "Now, do you know the value of these cards?"
A group of people nodded.
"No matter what, a person who sets his sights on everything he can do and creates this kind of card is definitely talented." The minister chuckled and stopped what he was doing. "More importantly, this talent was not hidden, but he took the initiative to hold the [contest]."
"I understand." The bespectacled observer spoke immediately, "You mean, should we recruit this person into our company? Let him become a [Yu] as well?"
The minister looked at him as if he were a fool.
"Listen carefully, no one is willing to hand over their research results for no reason." The minister spread his hands, "No one is truly selfless. Otherwise, why did he hold such a large-scale competition and even promote his new cards?"
"I have summarized the various performances of this person named Zhao Ye since his debut, and summarized his personality. If nothing unexpected happens, he should be the kind of researcher who has a lot of feelings for his creations.
He enjoys his inventions and also enjoys watching these competitions.
But to do this, you need more and more money.
That’s why he held competitions one after another, and they became bigger and bigger. He also cooperated with various agencies and workshops to make more money! "
"But - this is already the limit." The Minister smiled, "He wants to hold bigger competitions, wants his Duel Monsters to spread further, wants to make more money! Even if he uses the power of the [Index Finger], he can't do it!
Because it is impossible for him to spread it, there is no way, no way!"
This was her confident judgment, and it couldn't be wrong.
The city's geography and poor environment naturally restrict the promotion of Duel Monsters!
"And besides—" The minister tapped the screen, and a huge table immediately lit up on the screen. On the table were all kinds of data. All the data since the Duel Alley was held were piled up on it.
How many people died, how many duels took place, the frequency of business activities on that day, the calculation of the catering industry on that day, the data of gambling on that day...
From the data, it can be seen that because of Duel Alley, the death rate in the area where Zhao Ye is located has dropped significantly in the past two days, and the catering industry has also experienced a recovery, with sales increasing significantly yesterday.
From the perspective of people's livelihood, Zhaoye can be said to have done a lot of good things in the past two days.
If Zhaoye saw this accurate statistics, he would be very happy.
"Everyone, look at this column——"
She simply ignored how many people had died and how many other things there were. She didn't care about such trivial matters and pointed to the gambling column alone.
"More than one hundred and twenty times. Is that so much?! For such a small area?"
"One hundred and twenty gambles sanctioned by the firm?"
Faust looked at the numbers above, thought for a moment, and said, "Faust believes that there must be special people who, when others are dueling, conduct large-scale gambling based on who wins and who loses, how many cards are left in their hands, and how many LPs are left."
This is District 10, the area ruled by Wing J. Gambling is rampant, and no matter what, they will bet on it.
"In fact, it's not just the [Duel Alley] area." The minister clicked on the data, and the data expanded, and many small branches lit up at the same time. She clicked it casually, and everyone looked together, and it turned out to be - a nest!
"Yesterday, the duel between the blood demon and the index finger agent even attracted the interest of several merchants in the nest, and they made a private bet."
Privately?
That being said, in fact, there is no real "private gambling" in J Nest.
Because all gambling will be supervised by J Company and the UFI Association (Eleven Associations) which specializes in trading.
"The cards haven't spread to the nest yet, but many people in the nest have already become interested in the duel. Some trendy businessmen even bought the video recordings of previous matches from the Zwei Association, allowing those who finished the fight to make a lot of money for free.
Haha, I heard that the little cleaner was highly praised by their section chief for this."
