Putting Undercover Agents to Work, Forming Four Village Company

The tortoise shell fell from the sky and crashed heavily onto the concrete ground.

Instead of splashing out, it stayed where it landed.

This alone reveals its Divine Anomalies nature.

Because here, the laws of physics no longer exist!

The cracks are very strange.

It's a chaotic mess, full of twists and turns.

In any case, Xu Zongyin couldn't figure out what the trick was.

The Guihuajiu, like a turtle, lay on the ground and stared at it for a long time.

He seemed to be stuck on some kind of problem, and remained silent for a long time.

His companion, Aoxue, from the trio, was the first to lose patience:

"Is this aged liquor any good or bad? Give me a straight answer."

"Just some trashy lone wolf, got a bit lucky, how hard can he be to kill?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Zongyin almost burst out laughing.

How arrogant!

They actually called the player character who ranked first on the Total Contribution List for the siege event "trash".

Guihuajiu finally spoke in a hoarse voice:

"It shows it can kill, but it also shows it can't."

"Damn, what kind of divination is this?" Team leader Zhan Cangqiong was getting impatient. "Even if he has the Revival Stone from the event rewards, there's a limit to the number of times he can use them. How could he possibly not be killed?"

"That's just how the divination is; there's nothing I can do about it."

"Oh, I see, he has Resurrection Pearl! The other pursuit teams mentioned it before they left, but we didn't pay attention. Now it seems it was true!" Aoxue suddenly thought.

"Damn it, it's all because of you incompetent small and medium-sized companies that these trashy small businesses have room to survive!" Zhan Cangqiong turned to look at Xu Zongyin was under his control.

Xu Zongyin's heart also stirred.

He naturally knew that a technical manager in the company had committed suicide, leaving behind Game Poster, which later led to the disappearance of two related personnel.

One is Lin Qing, who supposedly took the game qualification; the other is Gao Linzhi, who is currently Canxue.

Now it seems they took the "Resurrection Pearl"!

"That explains everything," Xu Zongyin muttered to himself.

"Hmph, it's precisely because you small and medium-sized companies are all makeshift operations that they've been given such a huge opportunity. If we hadn't promptly produced Senior Diviner, they would have really become something special!" Aoxue spat out.

Xu Zongyin had nothing to say.

Indeed, if everyone had been brought under complete control immediately, instead of being overconfident and thinking everything was under control while trying to observe from the shadows, then today's events could have been avoided.

However, Xu Zongyin still wanted to say that as long as people are still people, such things are absolutely unavoidable. The more you suppress them now, the more severe the backlash will be in the future.

Unfortunately, some people either don't understand this simple truth, or they don't want to understand it.

"Damn it, since he has the Resurrection Pearl, it seems we can't kill him easily." Zhan Cangqiong frowned. "Does this Resurrection Pearl have any weaknesses?"

"I'll check it right now." Aoxue quickly took out a satellite phone and immediately connected to the internal network.

She quickly exclaimed in shock, "I found out! There's Expert Level Diviner who divined the effect of that Resurrection Pearl!"

"It has a maximum of 3 resurrections. After they are used up, it can be recharged, and the recharge will be based on the player character's total experience."

"I see. No wonder that Canxue kept buying Skill Stone that ignored skill restrictions. Now it seems he was controlling his Level Lock, which means controlling his total experience. It's possible he didn't even change jobs, because changing jobs consumes a huge amount of experience to modify the body, and the total experience becomes uncontrollable."

"Therefore, he must have accumulated a lot of experience points!"

Zhan Cangqiong suddenly realized that everything made sense.

Surprisingly, he stumbled upon a perfect solution.

Actually, Gao Linzhi's level 1 card was indeed for the purpose of resurrection, but it was only to clear the Resurrection Cooldown, because clearing the Resurrection Cooldown becomes too costly at higher levels.

"Damn it, how are we supposed to kill him?" Aoxue couldn't help but complain. "No wonder he was so fearless, even daring to openly seek trades on the player forum. So that's what he had up his sleeve!"

"There's only one way now," Zhan Cangqiong said coldly, "And that is to guard the corpse."

The group frowned.

This is hundreds of times more difficult than a clandestine assassination.

They already knew that the first team that tracked down Gao Linzhi had been captured by him and turned into puppets.

This demonstrates that although the opponent is arrogant, their fighting strength should not be underestimated.

"Hahaha, your ideas are absolutely ridiculous!"

"Since he possesses the Resurrection Pearl, he's invincible!" Xu Zongyin suddenly sneered from the side.

Aoxue glared angrily.

"What do you mean?" Zhan Cangqiong frowned.

"Nonsense! As far as I know, resurrection in this game isn't about resurrecting on the spot; it's about being able to freely choose where you spawn," Xu Zongyin scoffed. "Trying to camp the corpse? That's wishful thinking!"

"Hey, what's your stance? Do you think that by fawning over that Canxue, he'll spare the Xu Clan?" Aoxue retorted immediately, dissatisfied.

"Impossible!"

"These kinds of freelancers are full of resentment and bitterness. They have low wages and poor treatment, but they never blame themselves for not working hard enough; they only blame the environment."

"Wherever they go, the environment deteriorates; they are the ones who destroy the environment!"

"Now that they finally have a little bit of power, they're bound to vent it all. It won't be long before he comes and wipes out your entire family!"

"It was the Wen family who wiped out half of the Xu Clan. That's an even bigger family and company. Aren't they usually very friendly? Why did they act so ruthlessly?" Xu Zongyin's words left Aoxue speechless.

"Alright, alright, the United Association sent us here to solve problems, not create them," Zhan Cangqiong said, stopping the two from arguing.

"There is a way to do it," Guihuajiu suddenly said. "Send an undercover agent to steal his Resurrection Pearl, and then we can easily curse him to death."

"That's perfect, he's still recruiting Fixed Team."

"Well, anyway, report to headquarters that all other operations against him should be suspended until the Canxue Resurrection Pearl is retrieved, to avoid alerting him."

"OK."

Xu Zongyin sighed.

There was a sense of bewilderment in his eyes, yet also a sense of relief.

In his view, even someone as strong as Gao Linzhi couldn't last long.

After all, he was just one person; how could he possibly contend against so many elites and so many countermeasures?

Three days later.

Dragon Fruit, disguised as an old woman, successfully passed Gao Linzhi's interview.

The other side has dealt with a White Tier anomaly; it's a toad.

Its story: It was originally a dwarf in the village who fell in love with the Great Elder's daughter.

He only wanted to watch silently, but the other party rejected him for his dirty eyes and burned him alive.

So it became the White Tier Monster, seeking revenge on the village.

Dragon Fruit, on the other hand, progressed very quickly, determining the story's content after several divinations.

Gao Linzhi simply struck and killed him, thus resolving the matter.

So the Dragon Fruit passed the test smoothly.

"Young man, aren't you worried that your mother-in-law might be an undercover agent?" Dragon Fruit suddenly asked.

Gao Linzhi smiled.

"If you're not afraid of death, why would I be afraid you're an undercover agent?"

Besides, isn't that winery's operation based on infiltration?

In his view, undercover agents, because of mission requirements and their guilty conscience, have to work much harder than regular members, and even disregard their treatment.

What fine cattle and horses these are!

Of course, ordinary leaders are afraid of undercover agents—because they only have one life—but Gao Linzhi not.

His lives are limitless; he's a true player.

Dragon Fruit, indeed a fortune teller, its prediction was very accurate.

A real undercover agent has appeared.

Just two more days passed.

Three more new players have arranged to meet offline.

They were named "Zhan Cangqiong," "Aoxue," and "Guihuajiu," and they were clearly well-trained individuals.

The two sides met in Xu City.

The puppet Wen Zhengxun still went to interview the three people.

I looked at the three people's professions:

"Zhan Cangqiong."

"Occupation: Senior Blood Swordsman. Level: 39."

"Constitution: 191 points. Spirit: 45 points."

"Aoxue."

"Occupation: Senior Divine Archer. Level: 38."

"Constitution: 140 points. Spirit: 75 points."

"Guihuajiu."

"Occupation: Senior Diviner. Level: 36."

"Constitution: 3 points. Spirit: 225 points."

After seeing the three characters' attributes, take a look at the red dots that appear on the Minimap.

Gao Linzhi but sigh.

They are indeed undercover agents trained by a large company; they are all elites.

These attribute data exceed one-third of his.

His current combined physical and mental strength is 582 points.

He could, of course, kill all three of them directly; that would be too wasteful.

Controlling them required a purple-tier Puppet Talisman, but unfortunately, all the purple-tier Puppet Talisman had been used up. So Gao Linzhi told them:

"You've been accepted, but each of you needs to pay a purple-tier Puppet Talisman as an entry fee."

Upon hearing this, Aoxue was immediately enraged, but after being glared at by Zhan Cangqiong, she restrained herself.

She simply said, "Although we're officially part of Fixed Team, we're really just working for you."

"If I have to pay the boss before I can work, isn't that like I'm working for nothing?"

Gao Linzhi immediately laughed:

"That's right, you're here to work, but even workers need to pay a deposit, uniform fee, medical examination fee, sanitation fee, accommodation fee..."

Aoxue had no rebuttal.

This is because it is a common practice in the company.

There was no other way; the three of them were there to infiltrate.

In other words, you must join Fixed Team.

Therefore, Zhan Cangqiong had to coordinate three purple-tier Puppet Talisman from the rear.

"You don't need to feel bad, because this money will still be used for you." Gao Linzhi felt that he had been too kind before.

Yes, applicants should be required to bring their own purple-tier Puppet Talisman.

Sigh, on the first day as a boss, I always feel out of place with the old bosses because I'm too kind.

He then placed a Puppet Talisman on each of the three individuals.

They never expected that their Puppet Talisman would actually be used on themselves.

Guihuajiu, in particular, is highly valued for its spiritual properties.

Therefore, he remained conscious until he was killed, and then resurrected.

He witnessed Gao Linzhi's actions.

He hated himself. The mission was almost over, and if he had just moved a little, he could have escaped with the Resurrection Pearl.

At that time, he will definitely betray the company and become a free agent, hiding in the Skyfall World, and not appearing in the real world until he becomes invincible!

That Gao Linzhi is still too foolish!

He was too arrogant; he actually shared his Golden Finger with others.

In his view, Gao Linzhi's actions would inevitably backfire sooner or later.

After all, there's always the possibility that someone might pretend to be controlled when they aren't actually being controlled.

He naturally didn't know whether such a being was under control or not, which could be seen from the Minimap.

Just like now, after the three were hit by the Puppet Talisman, they turned back into yellow dots on the Minimap, meaning there was no longer any threat.

Gao Linzhi then transferred the three of them to Wolf Snake Island.

This method does indeed have flaws.

However, Gao Linzhi only used it a few times.

Once we figure out a way to travel to other islands, or other cross-regional routes, we won't have to go through all this trouble.

Half a month later.

Wolf Snake Island.

A scene of prosperity.

The number of caravans traveling between the four villages increased significantly.

Rogue Players no longer need to worry about being publicly hunted; their range of activities has been greatly increased.

No longer do we need to stay cooped up in the village every day, afraid to go out.

At least on this island, they found considerable comfort.

The remaining Rogue Players, some of whom had no family ties, simply stayed online all day, living and eating on Wolf Snake Island.

Even those with family ties, as long as they were clear-headed enough, chose to stay online all day.

Gao Linzhi's Fixed Team, following his orders, searched for and eliminated strange creatures every day in the wilderness, along the caravan routes previously established by the village.

First, move along the road, then clear the surrounding area.

In this way, the four villages could exchange goods and services, and the scale of various industries expanded rapidly.

What if production capacity is expanded?

Naturally, the money will be spent by the players.

Keep in mind that there's an entire world behind each player.

In particular, various therapeutic drugs and aphrodisiacs/longevity drugs are the most popular.

Secondly, there are various talismans and equipment.

Equipment occupies an awkward position; it is very valuable to most people.

The problem is that the output of higher-order products is too low.

Crafting a good piece of equipment takes several years.

Just like forging a peerless sword in ancient times.

Of course, Gao Linzhi doesn't have much need for equipment - mainly because most of them have level requirements, and only a very few don't have level requirements, but the total attribute bonuses are not much.

Unless it's equipment that doesn't require a specific level, it's only useful for Gao Linzhi.

As trade routes between the four villages became more accessible, calls for establishing Four Village Trading Company grew louder.

Simply put, it's like an offline company: the four villages provide capital, labor, and technology, while the players provide labor, and the two parties establish a company.

Let's work together to develop Wolf Snake Island.

Gao Linzhi has no interest in management.

After all, he has a lot on his plate, and he needs to focus his energy on improving his skills.

However, there are many people interested in the management position at this Four Village Company.

People come to see him every day.

Everyone knows that the real backer of the Four Village Company is not the four villages, but Gao Linzhi, who has the means to get rid of the strange creatures!

Gao Linzhi felt annoyed and directly had Xu Gou issue a notice:

"To apply for a management position, you need to achieve three goals:"

"We need to mine gold sustainably, grow in scale, and operate steadily."

"Get runes and equipment; produce them regularly even if there's no demand for them."

"There's no need to acquire Skill Book or Skill Stone either."

"Whoever can provide a better solution and a better commitment will become the General Manager of this Four Village Company!"
