Gao Linzhi nodded; this woman, "the Puppet Best," did indeed fit his opinion.

For normal people, ambition and desire will increase as their strength increases.

Sima Qian Gong before he usurped the throne.

What are your thoughts on the professional manager system currently adopted by large companies?

"Many people highly recommend it."

Upon hearing this, the Puppet Best's face contorted with disdain, and she snorted:

"Professional managers are like professional rats; their common trait is that they don't care about the company's long-term prospects, only about performance and reports within six months to three years at most. As long as the profit figures look good, that's all that matters."

"Any company that wants to develop in the long term must personally take charge, master the core business, and understand the company's grassroots operations."

"Want to be a hands-off boss and just sit back and collect the money? Then don't start a company, just be a landlord or a property owner."

"Professional managers have 99 ways to hollow out a large company."

Gao Linzhi nodded, then he asked a crucial question:

"How can I be sure you won't embezzle the entire funds from this new Four Village Company?"

"Puppet Best" was stunned for a moment. Good heavens, the boomerang had hit him.

However, she reacted quickly, saying, "I won't be involved in specific finances, personnel, or even orders and cash flow. I'll only provide general information, such as the company's development direction, technological innovation, and company philosophy."

Gao Linzhi smiled and asked, "So, what do you hope to gain by taking on this role General Manager?"

The Puppet Best and said, "To be honest, I want to become the most valuable weapon in the hands of the big boss."

"Thus gaining protection."

"Oh, judging from your speech and behavior, you must come from a large company or a powerful family. Can't they protect you?"

"Them? It's good enough that they don't kick us when we're down. Of course, large families have rules, and as long as core interests aren't involved, everyone can maintain a facade of harmony," the puppet sighed finally.

"Actually, the scariest thing is the bizarre."

"If you grew up reading dark fairy tales, you'll understand what I mean."

"And now, a truly terrifying darkness is quietly infiltrating reality."

"What's even more terrifying is that some people, for ulterior motives, let them in. I simply don't understand how their brains work."

"With a formidable enemy at hand, they still collude with the enemy to harm their own people."

Gao Linzhi could understand this quite well.

A History of Southern Ming, a Healing for low blood pressure.

The Tartars were right next door, and the two Pig Ming princes, both of the same origin and surname Zhu, fought to the death to seize the rightful heir, only to be easily captured by the other side in the end.

The fable of the snipe and the clam fighting, with the fisherman reaping the benefits, is actually playing out in real life. It's utterly absurd and laughable.

"Very well, now, I'll ask you, what solutions do you have for those three requests I made: gold, equipment, and Skill Stone?"

The Puppet Best immediately perked up and decisively said:

Of course.

"The matter of gold must be resolved in the real world."

"In reality, the only way to obtain large quantities of gold is to mine gold."

"According to my information, gold has been classified as a high-priority controlled resource."

"There are people offering prices, but no one wants to sell; everyone is hoarding and speculating."

Gao Linzhi nodded.

He knew about this, otherwise he wouldn't have attached so much importance to gold.

In the past, you could buy gold with just a little money.

Advertisements for gold jewelry are everywhere, as if they're afraid you won't buy it.

Now, both Xu City and Liang City are vigorously recycling various gold jewelry.

It can be said that this situation is largely due to Gao Linzhi's own practice of spending tons of gold on top of his purchases.

After all, the total market consumption of gold in more than a dozen major cities is only about one thousand tons per year.

Gao Linzhi consumed as much as sixteen tons in a very short period of time!

The market may seem sluggish, but it is actually quite sensitive.

Such gold consumption naturally and quickly triggered fluctuations.

The others aren't stupid.

They have brains.

The importance of gold can be inferred from the fact that the Canxue has a high demand for it.

Even if they can't find many uses for gold right away, they will still hoard it.

Just like how top players need a certain material, Rogue Players will definitely hoard it rather than sell it at a low price.

"If we want to produce gold on a large scale and for a long period of time, we must open up new sources of revenue."

"We must secure our own gold mine sources, and at the same time, cultivate puppets for prospecting and mining."

"Using game skills to reduce the cost of mining gold in the real world..."

The Puppet Best speak eloquently and at length.

I'm very excited.

Clearly, this was her area of expertise.

"Speaking of gold, there is actually a large gold mine with extremely high reserves in the mountain range where Liang City and Xu City meet."

"The estimated reserves are as high as tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of tons."

"It's just that they're buried quite deep. In the past, mining these gold mines was too costly; the cost of the gold extracted exceeded the price of gold purchased on the market."

"So no matter how large the reserves are, nobody will bother to mine them."

"Actually, it's on the same level as deep-seated gold in the earth's crust."

"Any gold mine that sells for more than the market price is considered a waste mine."

Gao Linzhi nodded.

"However, now that we have the Skyfall Game, things that were impossible before can now be done."

"I remember there was a prospecting profession and a mining profession. They could go deep underground and had a skill called Refine Gold Ore..."

"This skill is, to put it mildly, rather useless."

"Because it requires learning from the basics to the Expert Level, and also requires a series of prerequisite skills, it takes up a lot of experience and skill slots."

" For Ordinary Player, training this skill is essentially a waste of their account; only Corporate Players will train it."

Gao Linzhi was very satisfied.

That's right, if I were to worry about it all by myself, I'd be exhausted.

The scope of this game is vast.

There are millions of different professions.

"Now, with your strength, you can completely take it over."

"We have integrated four villages and one island, and can allocate a significant amount of funds to cultivate dedicated players."

"At the same time, when we send players to start construction, we also need to have someone there to keep an eye on it at all times."

"Furthermore, we need to place a lot of TNT in the gold mine."

"If anyone tries to steal it, we'll all perish together."

"In this way, when they realize they can't steal it by force, they'll have no choice but to trade it."

"The ruthless are afraid of those who have no regard for their lives."

Gao Linzhi was very satisfied; this "Puppet Best," indeed, he came from a prominent family.

There is no naivety in the face of competition from other companies.

If you have gold in your hand but no bombs on you, anyone will try to rob you.

When you have gold in your hands and bombs on your person, everyone will try to trade for your gold.

"Very good, I think you are very suitable for this position, but I still need to interview the last person." Gao Linzhi didn't need to hear about the other two matters anymore.

He believed the other party had the strength and means to meet his demands.

Indeed, at this stage, only he has the ability to protect someone from the clutches of the supernatural.

"Bored Beauty" walked in.

He was a young man, but for some reason, Gao Linzhi felt that the other man's back seemed a little hunched.

No, it should be said that it seems to be carrying something on its back.

However, upon examining the information using the skills, nothing was found.

There was no red warning on the Minimap.

He temporarily set aside his own feelings and asked:

"The Puppet Best; it performed very well."

"I don't know, what can you bring me?"

Qingcheng*Bored but great confidence:

"It's very simple."

"That woman, all she knows is how to spend money; she's used to using massive amounts of funds and resources to achieve efficiency."

"However, when it comes to funds and resources, even though we have unified four villages and one island, how can we compare with the large families entrenched in the city?"

"I know, a city with 100 million people, that's standard for many large families and big cities."

Gao Linzhi nodded. "Interesting, continue."

"It's simple, we should be more careful with our spending and improve efficiency."

"Just like mining for gold, it's very difficult to cultivate high-level prospecting players."

"What should we do now? It's simple: lure them in and offer them even greater benefits."

"Release strategies simultaneously to create a unified atmosphere..."

As the boring story unfolded, Gao Linzhi suddenly understood "what it means to be a top-tier player who dominates the server."

As long as the game is designed with a strategy that allows ordinary players to win, he can figure it out.

These are the extremely rare, top-tier casual players in the game.

In non-pay-to-win games, they are often the kings among kings.

In pay-to-win games, they can also make money by using the accounts of top-tier players who offer boosting services, and they can make a lot of money.

Gao Linzhi had never encountered this game before, but from Qingcheng*Bored annotations, he suddenly realized that his understanding of the Skyfall Game was still too superficial!

If he weren't the only normal player, he definitely couldn't beat a game researcher like Boredom.

"For Basic Prospecting techniques, there are actually shortcuts to practice."

"That means burying people in the ore to lure a Mine Pit Anomaly the mine into the pit."

"We've studied it; the strange things about mines often have rules related to the minerals themselves..."

Goodness, all sorts of little tricks and techniques, one after another.

Little by little, it will snowball.

Over a longer period of five to ten years, even the most popular verified accounts would be no match for them.

Only a large, influential account that consistently spends money can crush them.

"Excellent, excellent! Truly, there are so many heroes in the world!"

Gao Linzhi's level 1 card strategy is also available on this platform.

"The Level Lock's strategy shouldn't be maintained indefinitely; you have to let go of it when necessary, otherwise you won't get enough resources."

"Now that games are starting to have various event leaderboards, you can't just stay stuck at level 11, 21, or 31 anymore."

"Instead, we should decisively pursue Level Profession and obtain higher scores."

"As for getting Skill Stone, you can use them to farm certain bosses. How do you do that? It means you're leveling up the boss. When a boss first spawns, the drop rate isn't actually that high."

"The best time to kill it is the day before its next refresh."

Gao Linzhi was very satisfied.

Many of the methods suggested by the other party were very useful to him.

To put it simply, his efficiency was originally 100 when he spent money, but now, using the other person's method, he can reach 180, or even 250.

Players who frequently play pay-to-win games know that skilled high-spending players can significantly improve their spending compared to those who are less skilled.

So Gao Linzhi thought for a moment and then arranged something for Wuhu:

"In that case, we'll assign you the position of General Manager."

"It would be best to leave the General Manager position to Puppet Best."

"The company's consultant is a dragon, or Dragon Fruit."

"The three of you each have your own responsibilities: one will serve as an advisor and oversee personnel, one will be the General Manager and control the overall direction, and the other will be the General Manager and handle technology. You need to cooperate well with each other."

Bored and a little disappointed, but still readily agreed.

After Qingcheng*Bored and went outside, she walked 500 meters and came to a quiet alley.

He suddenly tilted his head, as if speaking to someone:

"Single-player mode, you guessed wrong."

"You thought he would make me the General Manager, but he didn't."

"Nonsense, that's because you've been exaggerating too much, you've gone too far with the details."

"He positioned himself directly as a tech expert."

"The other party will naturally think you are suitable for a technical role."

Bored and speechless.

Indeed, he rarely had the opportunity to show off in front of influential figures, and he talked about too many tricks and tips in one go.

Those were all taught to him by the single-player game, and he also studied them on his own.

It can be said that it was through those skills and techniques that he was able to stand out and become a strongman among ordinary people.

Suddenly, he whispered again:

"The other day, Zhan Cangqiong and Aoxue came to me to discuss something. What do you think of it?"

"They're courting death!" a voice came from behind.

"I advise you to stay away from those people. I'm afraid that when they die, their blood will splatter on you."

"Oh, I forgot, this master doesn't like killing people; he prefers turning them into puppets."

"I think they have some powerful connections." I was a little bored and wanted to argue.

"Fool!" "Single-player" decisively interrupted his delusions.

"Don't even think about that bead!"

"You people, you're always in contact with Canxue, so you think they're human too?"

"You haven't even seen the difference between the two sides!"

"Let me put it this way, if we're like a mid-level VIP in a typical pay-to-win game, having spent 30,000 yuan..."

"Then the other party is a super influencer who has spent 10 million yuan."

"And he's a top-tier influencer who keeps spending money on in-game purchases."

"The opponent's gaming skills have exceeded the scope of our imagined strategies."

"Our gaming skills aren't enough to compete with the other side spending 10,000 yuan."

"Our scheme was easily foiled by the other party simply spending 100,000 yuan."

Bored and somewhat resentful, I took a deep breath, but then held it back.

He didn't really want to listen to single-player games.

But single-player mode is like his ever-present grandfather, his cheat code.

He knew that the other party was some kind of peculiar entity—preserving a trace of human consciousness while incorporating elements of the rules.

Given the sheer number of strange phenomena, it's not surprising that some of them possess a degree of consciousness.

He thought to himself, even someone with Canxue is still a human being.

How high a level of cheating could the opponent be using?

Is it higher than the sky?

He wanted to see if Zhan Cangqiong and the others could succeed, while he himself would be the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.
