Campfire Shelter

"Dang-dang-dang~"

The distant and ancient bells slowly fade away in my ears

Colin opened his eyes and saw a quiet chapel with a bonfire burning.

"It looks like this place should be renovated and expanded, otherwise it will be a bit too crowded."

For this advent project, he has recruited fifty new employees. It seems that this time, no matter whether they are D-level or F-level, all of them have chosen to join, instead of avoiding them like before.

From this point of view, the effectiveness of the employees' spontaneous publicity during this period was quite good.

‘The task for the first two days of this week should be to go out and find people. Well, they are the ones who go out to find people. ’

People who come here for the first time need to find them by themselves and register in front of the bonfire. This is already an old process.

In the early days, finding people to work for was somewhat risky.

But now the situation is stable, conditions have improved, and everyone is an extraordinary person.

Maybe your luck will be a little worse at the beginning.

But you don’t have to worry too much about crises like death.

Even if they appear, they still have three chances to resurrect.

As thoughts flashed through each other, less than a third of a second passed. Colin was about to wave for other employees to come together, then assign this task, and then go to Shana to check the statement.

But suddenly, I heard a beautiful, pure, heavenly voice coming from the door of the church, which made people unable to help but be immersed in it.

Looking over, I saw Shana sitting at the door holding Xiaohong and singing with her eyes closed.

The whole chapel seemed to exude a sacred atmosphere because of this voice.

‘Shana? ’ Colin was surprised, “pressed down” the appearance of the employees, and listened attentively alone.

The song was nice, but what seemed to surprise him even more was that it was in the language of the other side of the earth?

"Ah, the best future! Don't be cold to me, don't be cold to me, don't be cold, I will start from scratch and move towards the best future~ towards the best future, even if it is a long road, eh~ ?”

After the singing stopped, Shana stopped shaking her head slightly, as if she noticed something, looked at the people behind her, stood up, put down Xiaohong, and said with a smile: "Good day, Mr. Colin."

"Well, morning"

Colin thought for a while and thought that Shana's song sounded familiar to him. He probably heard it played out by one of the employees while working. After hearing it, she learned it. It wasn't a big deal.

After nodding in response, he waved.

With a wave of a big hand, balls of ashes were spit out from the bonfire, and then condensed into humans when they landed, turning into the figures of the employees.

"Let me explain today's tasks. I told you during the meeting yesterday that fifty new employees will join us today."

Upon hearing this, the employees present narrowed their eyes and showed cruel smiles.

It’s time to introduce blessings to newcomers!

"Brother Shunzi, go take them in and count me out."

"And me and me!"

"Forget it, I still have a few serious patients to treat and some rehabilitation training, so it would be a pity not to go."

"."

Going out to find someone is a rare "vacation" time, so try to get it if you can, otherwise you will end up taking drugs and energy for seven days and nights without rest or sleep.

Colin understood their little thoughts and said:

"It's so cute. You can organize a group of people to receive them and make follow-up arrangements. There are no special tasks at the moment. Just arrange them. I can feel that this group of people is not too far away. I'll give you two days."

After hearing what Colin said, "The life coach is so cute" nodded and said no problem.

The situation is no longer as complicated as before, so one or two days is almost enough. As an employee who is preparing to take another step towards D+ and beyond, he has no intention of being lazy.

After all, it is tiring here, but the more work you do, the more rewards you get, and the reward points are much higher than outside.

Finally, Colin walked out and threw out more than ten cubic meters of supplies.

After simply allocating things, when everyone dispersed and started working, Xiaohong rushed over to him immediately, hugged him and called him "big brother" affectionately.

"I just learned to sing from Sister Shana. She sings so beautifully."

"It sounds really good. Are you done with your homework?"

"It's done. I checked the answers. My math score is 80%!"

"good."

Colin nodded, took out a new homework book from the "storage room", touched her head, ruffled her hair, and said:

"As a reward for your new homework this week, I have specially asked the famous teacher to give you teaching questions. Go ahead and do it. I have something to do and will come back to you later."

"Oh" Xiaohong walked away dejectedly holding her new homework book.

Then, Colin looked at Shana who was standing quietly aside, thought for two seconds, and then said:

"When I go back this time, I seem to have discovered something about the 'company' here."

Having said this, he paused. In a sense, this is still the territory of the branch. If it gets angry, it will be troublesome to perform things like a vision from the sky or a fire dragon burning the warehouse.

Shana looked at Colin for two seconds and seemed to realize the reason for his pause in speaking. She raised her hand to lift her forehead and let a few strands of hair fall behind her ears:

"We don't need to worry too much about it. We just need to understand some things. It won't bring us any real trouble, and there won't be any revenge."

"That's okay."

After thinking about it, Colin stretched out his hand and the flames sealed the door of the chapel and made preparations.

Then he and Shana came to a small conference table next to the bonfire and sat down in front of it, while talking to Shana about some distribution-related matters.

When the "logic point shielding" thing did not take effect, the two naturally talked about points income. Then, listening to what Shana said, Colin slowly opened his mouth.

"Ang? How many, how much?"

Colin was stunned: "You said you only got a few or a dozen points per mission?"

"Well, it's usually like this, just a few points, but after meeting you, I often have tasks worth more than ten points or dozens of points."

When she mentioned this, Shana, who was sitting neatly in her chair, couldn't help but think of how she had planned to exchange a huge amount of "200+ points" for bone spurs.

Suddenly he couldn't help but shrink his toes on the soles of his feet in embarrassment.

"A dozen points."

Colin murmured to himself, with Shana's strength, a dozen points?

His first reaction was almost unbelievable. This was far lower than what he thought. The minimum threshold of a few hundred points for small tasks and only one or two thousand points for large tasks was much lower.

It was hard to believe, but what Colin knew very well was that Shana had a character that never liked to lie, and her credibility was guaranteed.

In comparison, that "branch" with a very wild approach may not be the case.

Then, Colin suddenly thought of something: "Do you remember the first time you helped me expel the enemy, and the benefits of the subsequent missions such as applying blessing effects?"

"The first time we met? I have some impressions. I remember it was a dozen points and black bread. The second time, 50 points plus some loose points, probably"

"Fuck you! You bastard!"

Colin couldn't help but cursed and interrupted Shana's words.

50 points?

Not to mention the previous one, he remembered the latter very clearly. For that mission, under the pressure of the "Twilight Angel", he had no choice but to pay the summoning fee of 5,000 points. In the future, he would renew the BUFF every half day, one person at a time. Just a few hundred points.

But Shana only had about 100 points in her hands?

At this moment, Colin urgently needs a word that is more offensive than beast!

And at this moment, he finally understood why there was such a sense of separation between Shana herself and the "greedy" image during the summoning.

In a sense, the keywords of greed, greed and taking advantage of others are correct, but they are used by the wrong person.

"What is the origin of the 'branch'? Ninety-nine percent of the rewards?! As far as I know, I know that the forum with the highest proportion of rewards only takes nine-tenths."

"What an unscrupulous vampire branch!"

Colin couldn't help but think of the "consumption transparency" posted in the employee internal forum.

That's the highest draw he's ever known.

But I didn't expect that the strongest will have the strongest. The key depends on Shana's intention, and she still doesn't tell her about this pumping.

At this moment, Colin felt inexplicably happy in his heart.

Fortunately, this "branch" did not force me to become its employee.

Based on this reward, Colin estimated that he had just collected the money to buy "The Widow Snow Girl" now——

No, 99% is too harsh, and you may not be able to get it together.

‘Speaking of which, I have always suspected that Rosen is running this branch. But I heard that Rosen is stingy and his salary is low, but he doesn’t seem to be stingy enough. Is this branch out of control? ’

If this were not the case, it would be difficult for Colin to understand its unsustainable practice of raking in all the water.

Then, he glanced sideways at Shana and found that she had learned that he had given her tens of thousands of points, but only got a hundred.

Shana suddenly fell silent, her ice-blue eyes were like a mirror-like lake surface, and her delicate face was unexpectedly calm, without a trace of ripples.

But Colin, who was sitting across from her, was inexplicably frightened.

He thought for a while and prepared to say something to comfort him.

It was at this time that Shana, who was motionless and didn't know what to think, made a move. She took out the parchment from her sleeve, grabbed it, and looked at it absently for a while.

Suddenly he blinked his eyes, shook his head, and said as if mumbling to himself:

"Actually, I may not care so much about the losses, nor do I care about some deceptions.

"It's just that if it can take less, then there will be more choices that can be made at the beginning, and the people who have survived the disaster today will want more.

"Why do you do that?"

Hearing her words, Colin couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Shana's heart was really pure. He could feel that she really didn't care about her own losses, but cared more about the victims who could not be rescued.

Unfortunately, when faced with her questioning, Colin thought that the "branch company" would be like an ostrich.

This time it earned hundreds of thousands of points on its own, and it felt like it was full of blood.

Maybe just pretend to be dead and join the next generation of saints.

After all, the saints of the "Light" religion themselves are not passed down from generation to generation, but will "come into being" when something special happens.

This generation has been seen through, and they will trick the next generation.

But what surprised Colin was that after the idea came up, the parchment in Shana's hand actually gave some response!

[The situation of "World Number-13" is special. Many confidential things and functions require a large amount of points. At the same time, the points obtained are also used for some necessary power maintenance]

[If some related functions cannot be maintained in time, the situation here will be far worse than it is now. 】

[In the distribution and use of points in related fields, there is sufficient necessity and no waste. 】

Looking at this response, Colin's instinct told him that the news was true, but it was hard to say whether it was the whole news.

Because "transparency" is a bit too low

The whole article is full of "relevant", "relevant", etc. Colin doesn't understand the operating mechanism of this thing, who knows if there is anything fishy in it.

But he was eight points certain that there must be a hidden reason why Parchment was so eager for points.

I just don’t know what is being hidden.

'Now if we have a chance to find 'Ms. Thorn', who is a civilian and also a 'world manager', we should be able to understand the situation. She should know a lot. ’

Thoughts flashed through Colin's mind, and then he glanced at Shana. There was no change in her face, and there was no sign of happiness or anger at all.

Through "Bonfire"'s sensitivity to human emotions, we can only feel that her emotions are relatively stable.

It's just a little too stable.

But at this moment, Shana suddenly raised her head and looked at Colin: "Mr. Colin, do you have anything you want to ask him about?"

"At this moment, I really didn't think about what to ask."

In the middle of speaking, Colin suddenly became curious: "Speaking of which, what do points actually come from? Why does it seem that besides monetary value, it has other practical uses?"

Before this, in Colin's eyes, points seemed to be an internal digital currency, but judging from the description on the parchment of "maintaining some necessary powers", it seemed that it was not only a credit currency, but also had practical value in itself, just like gold.

However, in the face of Colin's inquiry, Parchment showed no intention of responding.

There seems to be a prejudice against him.

‘You’re so petty, aren’t you? ! ’ Colin grunted in his heart.

At this time, seeing that the parchment did not respond, Shana pinched the parchment a little harder, and a trace of light penetrated into the parchment. Then, she opened her mouth and repeated Colin's question.

["Bonfire Points": one of the designated currencies that circulates within the company and can only be used by "Bonfire Company" and others. It can activate the operation and maintenance of some company agreements, powers, etc. like energy]

[Note: Its manufacturing and related interpretation are confidential for employees below A level and cannot be known. 】

"Confidentiality below A level?!"

Colin's eyes opened slightly. Does this thing have such a high level of confidentiality?

"Retarded Robot" remembered that "Ms. Rabbit" said that the confidentiality level seemed to be only B-, but he didn't expect that the confidentiality level was actually higher than it due to some essential factors related to the points?

Colin suddenly felt that the company was full of big holes.

Then, after asking this, he tried to understand what the "seed of light" was.

When this thing came over in the middle of the night to exchange 30W points for something, it once gave such a choice——

In other words, in its view, this piece of information is extremely valuable.
