spooky invasion

Chapter 1262: Investigating Rebellion
Although he has not yet come into contact with any details related to the auction, after two days of busy work, Jiang Yue feels that he is definitely closer to the core news.

Whether it is Elder Ji or Mr. Ming, there is no doubt that they are the people who are closer to the core information. Although they are unlikely to tell Jiang Yue this, getting close to these people always has a better chance of detecting relevant information. Confidential Insider.

Of course, Jiang Yue had no intention of hiding this from Master Duo.

Duo Ye learned that Jiang Yue and the others had successfully obtained a task worth 2000 silver coins, and that the service recipient was the Abyss tribe, and he was impressed by Jiang Yue and the others.

Look, even though they are just a few mushroom people, without the blessing of his master and the shelter from the wind and rain of the Baoshu clan, they can still survive, and their life will never be too bad.

This is the real skill, you can eat it wherever you go.

From this point of view, when Ah Qian admired these mushroom people and looked at them differently, he was indeed wise.

"Zu Yao, it's very good. I didn't expect you to be recognized by the Abyss Clan. This is really amazing. The Abyss Clan, like the Baoshu Clan, is one of the top ten golden tribes. If you can really serve them well, you will not be able to rely on them in the future. We, the Baoshu Clan, are good enough to have a promising future."

Duoye's tone was joking, but it was obviously somewhat amusing.

Now that he is at a low point in his career, he is psychologically very fragile and lonely. It is the time when he is employing people and he needs someone to join him for warmth.

During this time, he also relied heavily on the assistance of these mushroom people.Suddenly he heard that the Mushroom People were approaching the Abyss Tribe, and he was somewhat worried.

If these guys find success with the Abyss Clan, will they abandon his poor Baoshu Clan bloodline and completely switch to the Abyss Clan?
After all, the Abyss Clan is not inferior to the Baoshu Clan, and the other party may be more popular and powerful in the Abyss Clan than he is in the Baoshu Clan.

If Zuyao and the others abandon him and switch to the Abyss Clan, it is completely human nature.

Jiang Yue hurriedly said: "Master Duo, I only accepted this task to get closer to the core level and inquire about information. I have no other ideas. Besides, although I am a humble mushroom man, I also know the word loyalty. Unless Master Duo Dislike us, otherwise we would have no reason to surrender to the Baoshu Clan first and then to the Abyss Clan."

These words made Mr. Duo feel warm in his heart.

Although it was not a bold statement, nor did it make my chest clatter, the more simple the words, the more sincere they were.

"Okay, Zu Yao, I saw you right. No matter what the outcome of this trip is, I can promise that I will never treat you badly."

"Master Duo has always been very kind to us, so naturally we will never leave him."

Well said, what a stickler.Master Duo actually knows that he is really good to these men, especially compared to those bastards like Master Hu, they are simply angels.

"You are so persistent, Zu Yao. Ah Qian was right about you back then. By the way, what are your plans for the next step?"

"I plan to use the Abyss Clan to see if I can get inside information about the auction."

Duoye nodded: "This plan is very good, but you must be careful. The Abyssal Clan is very smart."

"We will act carefully." Jiang Yue responded.

……

After leaving Duoye, Jiang Yue naturally wanted to meet A Lao.This was the agreement between him and Ah Piao.

Ah Piao was very motivated. After get off work, he came to the place agreed with Jiang Yue and waited for Jiang Yue.It was obvious that this guy was very interested in this deal.We actually collected a lot of information.Especially there is a lot of news about wealthy families.

It can be seen that these wealthy families are also in a state of confusion now. They are also trying to find ways to publicize the people of Titan Academy.

So far, these wealthy nobles have not received detailed information about the auction.The ones who really make the decisions in Titan Academy are the few giants.

These giants are now simply unreachable.The giants and forces from all sides gathered in the Titan city-state, but they were helpless and didn't know where to use their strength.

The official wording of the Titan City State was very official, telling them to wait patiently. When specific regulations are released, these wealthy families will be the first to know.

This may sound nice, but it actually doesn’t have any substance.At least so far, the treatment of these giant forces is no better than that of other forces.

The Titan City-State seemed to be polite, but in fact they did not give anything of substance.

Food, clothing, housing and transportation are all not the responsibility of the major forces themselves, and the prices are quite expensive.These wealthy nobles are naturally not short of this money, but the face they want is not given by Titan City-State.

Especially the Titan Academy is a bit inhumane.

Ah Piao said with some schadenfreude: "Brother, you don't know that these golden tribes and wealthy forces now secretly have money that they can't spend, so why are they in a hurry? They are always suspicious, afraid that other forces will get there first, and that they are stupid. They were kept in the dark. What the Titan Guild did was a really good trick, it aroused everyone's emotions and made people panic, fearing that they would suffer a loss."

The gameplay of Titan Academy is actually not new. The core thing is still the hunger marketing method, which uses the advantage of information asymmetry to seduce all parties, so that their tolerance thresholds continue to increase and their psychological bottom line continues to decrease.

For example, perhaps when it first opened, the psychological expectation of these wealthy families was to spend 1000 million silver coins to bid. After this series of psychological panic and anxiety, their current tolerance threshold may have soared to 2000 million, 3000 million... …

To put it bluntly, it is to create this kind of atmosphere and let everyone slowly form this consensus. It is not easy to get this formula.

In this way, everyone's psychological bottom line will naturally be broken again and again.

I have to say that this marketing is very good.But Jiang Yue still doesn't understand. Even if you auction this formula for a sky-high price of ten times or a hundred times, so what?
Moreover, if it really reaches such a sky-high price, are people really willing to pay this amount?What if this recipe becomes bad in the future?

Wouldn’t the person who paid such a sky-high price in the past become a big laughing stock?
To be honest, Jiang Yue really didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in the Titan Guild's gourd. He always felt that the Titan Guild would not play such a simple game, it was just an auction.

"Oh, it's a pity that we don't know anyone from the Titan Academy. If we know someone, just by setting up a connection and treating them to a meal or a drink, the agency fee might be worth a hundred or eighty thousand. There are more than one family. Both families are willing to give you this money.”

When it comes to interpersonal relationships, it’s true that time saves the day.Ah Piao sighed with deep regret.After all, he is just a little waiter in an inn, and his daily interpersonal relationships are nothing more than some neighbors, who are all at the bottom of society.Not to mention people from the Titan Academy, even ordinary officials were not something he could contact.

Jiang Yue smiled lightly and said: "How big a head is, how big a hat is. You can't make a hundred or eighty thousand, but making what you can make is real."

"Haha, that's right, that's right." Ah Piao chuckled, "No, I am very serious about our business. I believe you can see my sincerity, brother?"

"Haha, there's not a lot of useful information in today's information. It's all trivial."

Ah Piao smiled coquettishly: "It's not that I don't care, but in fact nothing big happened. I only see these big forces being anxious."

However, he immediately remembered something and said with a mysterious face: "There is really something." "What? Don't lie."

"Actually, it's not a big deal. Today I found that these wealthy nobles are recruiting people. They summoned many leaders of the adventurer team. It seems that everyone is recruiting troops. But they are very cautious in recruiting troops. There is a famous local snake who wants to come. I tried to get close, but was rejected. I don’t know what the intention is.”

"It stands to reason that if they want to get information, shouldn't they use local snakes? Why don't they recruit those local snakes who have a good reputation?"

Ah Piao raised his own question. Obviously, he didn't think clearly about this question.But this did not affect him from informing Jiang Yue.

Anyway, what they want is information, not his analysis.As an inn waiter, he can't analyze anything famous. This is not his specialty.

Jiang Yue nodded thoughtfully: "Are these forces making big moves to recruit people?"

"It's not a small move. I observed it secretly. Each of them received at least seven or eight groups of people today. Moreover, they also sent people out. I heard that they were going to the Adventurer's Guild to recruit people."

These words are consistent with the situation Jiang Yue encountered.It can also be judged from this that Ah Piao did not talk nonsense and made money with conscience.

"Haha, even if it's the Golden Clan, how many people can come if it's full? In today's situation, if you feel that you don't have enough manpower, it's reasonable to recruit some people to help you, do peripheral work, or collect information. .”

Jiang Yue also had his own judgment.

"But when it comes to gathering intelligence, of course local snakes have an advantage, right?"

"Things have to be viewed from both sides. Local snakes have the advantage, but many local snakes are closer to the officials of the Titan City-State. Who knows whether they will provide false news? Who knows whether they will really obey their orders? What if money No matter what, the information I got is still false, what the hell?"

When Jiang Yue said this, Ah Piao finally understood. He slapped his thigh and said, "How else can we say that it's honest people like us who are being harmed? Those local snakes can really do this if they eat people's food but don't shit them. Things come up."

Then he boasted: "Brother, I dare not say anything else. All we earn is conscience money, and we will never provide false information."

Jiang Yue smiled: "I believe that. This is where you are smart. If you provide false information, you will definitely spit out all the money you made before. It's not cost-effective."

Ah Piao smiled and said: "No, not really. I am a person who works in a profession and loves a profession. There must be a bottom line in what I do."

Bottom line?

Jiang Yue smiled and said nothing. You were working in the inn, but I didn't see you love the trade. Isn't it an old skill passed down from ancestors and became a diligent porter?

Even though people are tough, Jiang Yue didn't try to expose this guy.As long as he doesn't provide false information, Jiang Yue will naturally not care about these small details.

Ah Piao chuckled, as if something suddenly occurred to him, and looked at Jiang Yue with complicated eyes, looking constipated.

"Why, let it go if you fart." Jiang Yue said angrily.

Ah Piao came close to his face, put it under his throat and said, "Brother, this matter is very important. I have been hesitant whether to say it or not."

Jiang Yue frowned: "What's the matter?"

Ah Piao scratched his head and pursed his lips again, looking like he was hesitating to speak.

Jiang Yue probably knew what this guy meant, he wanted money.Without moving his expression at the moment, one hundred silver coins were placed on the table.

Ah Piao glanced at it, sighed, and returned to his constipated look.

Is this too little?
Jiang Yue offered another hundred silver coins calmly: "Ah Piao, if you are too greedy, you won't be able to digest what you eat. Again, the size of the head will carry the size of the hat."

Ah Piao originally had three dates but no dates. When Jiang Yue gave him two hundred silver coins, he felt that it was not enough, but he still did not continue.

He smiled and said: "Brother, don't blame me for being greedy. It's actually a matter of losing my head. I can't help but be careless. I'm paying for the money with my life. Please be considerate, brother. Again, my information , it must be worth the price, and I will never fool people with false news."

Jiang Yue stared at Ah Piao coldly.

This kid was also a little uncomfortable being looked at by Jiang Yue, and he didn't dare to continue to show off, and said mysteriously: "It's like this, today the official people from the Titan City State entered the inn to register the information of the guests, and checked every one of them in great detail. .At first I thought it was for public security reasons, but later I found out that they were probably investigating rogue gangs."

"Rebellion?" Jiang Yue frowned.

Ah Piao smiled awkwardly. He felt that Jiang Yue looked like a gangster last time.It’s just that Jiang Yue said that the mushroom man is of low ability, so who wants him to become a rebel?

Although Ah Piao didn't say anything at the time, he always had the idea in his mind that this mushroom man might be working for the rebel party.

Of course, this had nothing to do with Ah Piao, and he had no intention of seeking justice, let alone reporting it.If he were to be reported, he would definitely be the first to die if he provided intelligence for the gangsters and made deals with the gangsters.

Before the rebels died, he died first.

Ah Piao is a simple person, just making money is enough.He really didn't want to get involved in the rest.

"Yes, it's just to investigate the rebels. Although nothing seems to be happening now, in fact, Titan City-State is currently facing external and internal tensions. Any rebels who show up may be targeted by Titan City-State."

When Ah Piao said this, he couldn't help but look at Jiang Yue deeply, as if to remind Jiang Yue.

Jiang Yue laughed dumbly: "You don't really think I'm a rebel, do you?"

"Well, I'm just kindly reminding you. Of course you're not the best. If you are, I advise you to stop early."

Jiang Yue smiled bitterly and said: "How can we have such a gang in the inner world of the earth?"

"Why not? It's nothing new for thieves from the surface world to act like monsters in our inner earth world. Isn't that a gangster?"

"Oh, are you worried that my employer is someone from the surface world?"
