The Righteous Player(s) Chapter 371: Gray Swan Security Insurance Company

Jiuer sighed deeply.

She wiped the **** ax in her hand on the body that was chopped into two parts, and murmured somewhat lonely:

"Why didn't Annan come to see me when he arrived in the royal capital...

"Is it because the plot hasn't started yet? Do we have to wait for the coffee lady to arrive in the capital?"

"...Miss Jiu'er?"

Behind her, two well-dressed and strong men carefully bowed and asked, "What were you talking about just now?"

"No, it's nothing."

Jiu'er lazily replied: "I'll chop you to death if you ask any more."

Hearing this, the two men, who were clearly more than two heads taller than Jiu'er, suddenly became as silent as chills and dared not speak.

She is already familiar with him in the royal capital.

In the past two days, she has successfully found a good job——

At first, Jiuer followed the same example as in RPG games, ran to the tavern and ordered a glass of milk, hoping to see if he could get some information.

As a result, the information was not found, but it caused a lot of trouble.

A group of people saw Jiu'er alone in the pub and wanted to ask her if she wanted to work in some underground industry...

But when they got closer, before they could say a word, they saw Jiu'er impatiently standing up with a stainless steel ax that was taller than him in one hand... so they were immediately frightened.

Fortunately, the leader was very clever.

In the royal capital, the existence of extraordinary beings is not as secretive as in a small place.

At least those engaged in and related to these gray industries must have some understanding.

This is more or less the capital of the Kingdom of Noah...a large city with a permanent population of over four million. The palace alone covers an area of ​​more than 100,000 square meters, and the area of ​​one partition alone exceeds the entire territory of Roseburg.

The number of gold-level extraordinary beings resident here alone is close to double digits. There are countless Silver-level and Bronze-level Transcendents, and even Silver Sirens sometimes walk around on the streets.

If you don't know your position, if you encounter a hostile extraordinary person, you may not even know how you died - after all, the curses and personal abilities of extraordinary people are all kinds of strange, and the soul level is not determined. In terms of direct combat effectiveness and taking into account ritual issues, it is not surprising that bronze-level extraordinary beings are better than silver-level ones.

And ordinary people cannot fully understand the mechanisms of "nightmare" and "curse", so they can only stay away from these powers that they cannot control.

After all, it is not particularly easy to become a transcendent.

This still depends on talent.

It is not an easy task just to become a master in your own path, to fully understand and be proficient in your basic profession (level 10). Even if you want to get training in ordinary professions, it is not something ordinary people can do.

Whether it is exercising your body and practicing swordsmanship; or accepting the brutal training of a stalker and cultivating your knowledge of poisons and traps; or finding your own beast companion and living with it for a long time and intimately, Cultivating a spirituality that resonates with the heart... requires talent, resources and long-term efforts.

And when they reach the end of the road, they must ensure that they are not too old. At least you have to make sure that your mind is sharp enough, and that you have enough spirituality, intelligence and luck so that you can maintain a clear mind in the dream, successfully complete the decryption and purify the nightmare.

This is actually very difficult.

Nightmare is just a more difficult puzzle game for anyone with extraordinary power.

But ordinary people cannot stay awake in nightmares. To them, this is a literal, illogical nightmare. If there were no extraordinary beings to arrange rituals to force them to stay awake in their dreams, they would have to rely on personal talent... and luck.

If your career reaches the end, even trying your luck to solve a nightmare is enough to embark on the path to transcendence.

Talent, resources, abilities, connections, luck—all are indispensable.

In order to effectively control the number of extraordinary beings and reduce the pollution of the surrounding living environment caused by the nightmares that occur after the death of extraordinary beings... it is very difficult for ordinary people to access the path of extraordinary beings through official channels.

As the wizards said - they must first consider their personal talents, at least they cannot be easily killed by ordinary people; then they must consider their character and morality, and make sure that they will not go into evil ways or use extraordinary powers. To go “too far” for personal gain.

Objectively speaking, this is definitely a good thing.

Whether it is based on the safety of ordinary people or to control the density of nightmares in large-populated cities, it is necessary.

But on the other hand, such a strategy also makes ordinary people farther and farther away from the extraordinary world - almost completely blocking their access to the extraordinary world.

Ordinary people cannot determine the specific source of curses and nightmares without a deep understanding of extraordinary beings.

For them, "killing extraordinary beings" or even "getting close to extraordinary beings or their corpses" may lead to them being cursed and haunted by nightmares.

Even many ordinary people cannot tell the difference between a transcendent and a ritual master - they even suspect that if they anger a transcendent, they will be secretly cursed to death by the transcendent.

So under the deterrent power caused by this knowledge monopoly, the gangsters who realized that Jiu'er was an extraordinary person immediately offered her a very high salary without even testing Jiu'er's strength. Hire her as a goon.

Of course... Although he is a thug, Jiuer still has a very high status.

Now Jiu'er is wearing a gray high-collar windbreaker and black boots. He also wears his professional nameplate on his chest, which reads "Jiuer, Special Technical Consultant of Gray Swan Safety Insurance Company" on the top, and below is the company's address "No. 117 Qiandai Street, Saint Bernard District, Noah".

"Gray Swan" is responsible for the underground boxing rings, casinos and nightclubs in the entire St. Bernard area. These industries all fall within the realm of Sir Silver's subordinate god, the God of Blackmail and Promise Keeping, the "Protector" who is occasionally jokingly called the "God of Protection Fees".

In other words, in the Holy City of Noah - no matter you are a bustard or a drug dealer, a killer or a thief, you have to pay taxes honestly.

Yes, even the thieves' theft income and the killer's mission income must be reported and taxed. Otherwise, the Silver Knights from the Silver Jue Church will come directly to your door.

In Noah, "resisting taxes" can be punished by death.

It is not implemented by the kingdom, but by the Silver Lord Church.

But on the other hand, as long as you pay enough taxes and even actively donate to welfare causes, even gray industries can become formal companies.

Of course, whether the company's business is legal and how many criminals there are are not the responsibility of the Yinjue Church... but the responsibility of the police department and the Department of Justice.

"Special consultants" like Jiu'er are basically not used for hard work. After all, in essence, this is not to recruit them, but to prevent them from going against themselves.

To recruit an extraordinary person, it is not a price they can afford.

And the price/performance ratio is too low.

After all, they are a formal and legal company. If any extraordinary person comes to cause trouble ~IndoMTL.com~ can directly report it to the Yin Jue Church for handling.

What Jiu'er is responsible for is just to "deal with the troublemakers."

There are no supernatural enemies, not even swarms.

The most difficult enemy she has ever seen is a drunkard holding a pistol.

She didn't even have to use an ax - she charged forward, punched her on the waist, slapped her again, and the battle was over.

The enemy she just hacked to death was a senior stalker from a rival gang. This man used a trap to blow up three people from Gray Swan, including a small leader. So they sent Jiu'er to carry out "cruel revenge."

The scapegoat will also be prepared by the company.

What Jiu'er is responsible for is just "killings that are shocking enough".

And she liked it.

Although it’s not much, it’s still a matter of experience...
