Chapter 339
Chapter 339 New Positioning
For an organization to grow stronger, it needs more comprehensive management and a more formal hierarchical system.
Just like a small company can work together without clear lines, a big company can’t do that. First and foremost, it’s crucial to maintain order.
This is exactly what Chicks are working on now. After completely understanding the organization, Tang Tang began addressing these issues. Although there aren’t many examples to refer to, managing it like a regular company is a viable option.
Aside from that, the second most crucial thing is the source of funds for the organization.
It’s important to note that while the Dark Zone world lacks main quests, completing relevant events here can still reward players with game points—for instance, killing demons or handling rule-related events.
The exact amount of these reward points isn’t strictly regulated, but based on Xia Xinyan’s experiences from her previous life, the stronger the opponent and the higher the difficulty, the more game points you ultimately get—plus, the overall ratio is significantly higher than that from Battle Zone and Safe Zone dungeons, making it the main driving force for players to develop in the Dark Zone world.
As long as you have the guts, the speed of leveling up in the Dark Zone vastly surpasses that in the Battle Zone, saving loads of time.
And to earn game points for organizational development, you can tackle this aspect—providing gear and support for members to hunt demons and acquire game points, while also collecting a percentage of those points as organizational profit.
Or even better, you could team up with other factions to establish a bounty board, allowing others to post bounty tasks, and capable individuals to complete them, with the organization only taking a small cut. These are all feasible options.
While Xia Xinyan isn’t particularly skilled in this area, she at least witnessed many ways to make money from the fat guy in her previous life, giving her an edge at the start of everything.
She then shared the fat guy’s money-making tactics with this life’s fat guy, which enlightened him, making him eager to try.
After that, it wasn’t Xia Xinyan’s concern anymore.
Regarding how to deal with Little White, Xia Xinyan hadn’t found a good solution, so after some thought, she had Ling Mo fit Little White with a bomb collar around her neck. The collar would automatically adjust to her neck size, and theoretically, even if Little White changed forms, she wouldn’t be able to get rid of it, serving as a layer of insurance.
However, about the Source of Invasion’s abilities… honestly, Xia Xinyan didn’t expect it to be that effective. It was more about psychological comfort. Thankfully, the Source of Invasion seemed to be obedient, so Xia Xinyan believed she would stay put.
As for Little White’s living arrangements, Xia Xinyan arranged for her to take over a cleaned-up storage room on the first floor of their building—it probably wouldn’t even need tidying up since this creature seemed not to need sleep.
After this fuss, it was once again nightfall.
That night, Xia Xinyan and Ling Mo spent time in the Dark Zone world.
When Ling Mo returned from his shower, Xia Xinyan was sitting on the bed, staring out at the night sky.
“Xinyan, are you tired?” Ling Mo asked softly as he sat beside her after climbing onto the bed.
After all, they hadn’t rested in two days and a night.
“Not too tired,” Xia Xinyan shook her head, “I’m just thinking about Little White.”
With their current physiques, not resting for a day or two wasn’t a huge issue; she didn’t really feel sleepy either.
She was mainly pondering what changes the appearance of this communicative Source of Invasion could bring for the future.
Since the Cataclysm started… no, it should be noted that since meeting Monica, the direction of her life had been drifting further away from her memories of her last life.
This always gave her a sense of anxiety.
The greater the deviation from her memories, the weaker her “prophet” attribute became. When she finally shed that halo, what identity would remain?
Just like how Ling Mo was gradually distancing himself from the impression of “Ling Mo” in her memory.
Over this time, she’d been reflecting more on this aspect.
Perhaps… it was time to search for a new positioning for herself.
Ling Mo didn’t know what she was thinking, so he just smiled and said, “Actually, I think she could become a powerful weapon for us.”
Xia Xinyan tilted her head to look at him, waiting for him to elaborate.
Ling Mo continued, “Her abilities allow her to create beast-eared girls, right? And it seems like they have alluring abilities too? If we could deploy her into the enemy’s camp and have her use those skills…”
That scene would undoubtedly be marvelous.
Xia Xinyan twitched the corner of her mouth.
Perhaps recognizing the inhumanity of such a tactic, Ling Mo chuckled, “Just joking—but I am curious. She mentioned those beast-eared girls have alluring powers… I can understand why Xinyan is immune, but why am I immune too?”
He hadn’t felt the slightest influence at the time.
Xia Xinyan shrugged, “Who knows? But isn’t that a good thing?”
“Yeah, it’s a good thing.” Ling Mo leaned in closer, nearly brushing his face against hers, his tone teasing, “Maybe it’s a result of Xinyan’s training?”
He had long known all of Xia Xinyan’s abilities, including that alluring skill she rarely used. Since Xinyan possessed such strong allure, having absorbed her power so many times might have given him immunity to its effects.
Xia Xinyan subtly distanced herself from him: “Did you forget our agreement?”
Ling Mo laughed, pulling back, “Of course I haven’t forgotten, which is why I didn’t touch Xinyan.”
Xia Xinyan stared at him for a moment.
Ling Mo, unfazed, maintained his smile and changed the topic, “By the way, do you remember what I mentioned before? I want to forge a set of battle armor for you.”
Her main battle style was still close-quarters. Although Ling Mo knew she was powerful, there were no guarantees they wouldn’t encounter situations like this again in the future. If he could provide her with extra protection without hindering her mobility, he would gladly do it.
Xia Xinyan raised an eyebrow: “You should know my battle style…”
“I know, I know.” Ling Mo nodded seriously, “So I will ensure the armor is as light as possible, eliminating the majority of functions, focusing mainly on protection—actually, I already have a rough idea, but I need Xinyan’s cooperation.”
Xia Xinyan paused: “How do I cooperate?”
“Your body data,” Ling Mo’s expression turned serious, “To minimize the impact on your movement, the armor needs to fit your body perfectly, so…”
Xia Xinyan: “…”
She had reason to suspect this guy was trying to take advantage of the situation.
