71: Chapter 71: Can This Game Be Played Without Changes?
As everyone knows, the Flash Skill is one of the most important factors in MOBA games.
As a game designer, you can stack infinite attack stacking, slowing and defense reduction, and life steal and attack bonus all on the same hero, and players won’t have much to say about it.
But you absolutely cannot randomly modify the cooldown time of the Flash Skill.
If that thing had a ten-second cooldown, the game would be unplayable.
Wang Yunxiao now found himself in exactly this awkward situation.
If there truly were no cooldowns, allowing for unlimited possession, how could that profession be playable?
When will the family of the dumb designer fly out of the solar system?
“I’ve seen a lot of similar things back when I used to fight in wars,”
Qin Xiangdong patted the case file in his hand and said to Wang Yunxiao, “The common folk call them demons and evil spirits, and they’re not entirely wrong.
But in truth, they’re not as terrifying as they’re made out to be—they can be completely eliminated.”
“That I know, the problem is not whether it can be destroyed but how to find it.”
Wang Yunxiao said helplessly, “I still don’t understand whether these demons have a physical body in reality or not; if they do, in what form they exist, and whether they need to pay a price for possessing a body.”
“There definitely is a physical body,”
Qin Xiangdong asserted, “As for possession, this kind of sorcery will certainly not be too easy and simple.
From my past experience, to possess a body, it needs to have been eroded by echoes.
In other words, the bodies it can instantly possess are all previously prepared by itself.”
“That old man…
and that middle-aged woman…”
Wang Yunxiao recalled the faces of the two in his mind.
As for what the old man looked like, he had no idea.
Exposed to the sunlight, he disintegrated into blood and mush on the spot, and after so long, no family members had come forth.
But he remembered the middle-aged woman’s face.
At this thought, he picked up the paper and pencil on his desk and bent his head to start drawing.
“Training Chess Heralds is too difficult.
The inheritance requirements for intelligence in their faction are too high, and even with reduced standards, it’s hard to spread widely.
My thoughts are we should consider recruiting some people from the Jianghu World…”
Qin Xiangdong was saying this when he saw Wang Yunxiao hand over a piece of paper with a clear portrait sketch on it.
“Is this the woman it possessed?”
“Yes, at the time I didn’t know if it still had the ability to keep possessing others, so I didn’t pursue it further.”
Otherwise, following the trail of the vinegar smell, Wang Yunxiao could have chased it down for eighteen streets.
Qin Xiangdong nodded, picked up the phone, “Ask Gao Shan to come to my office.”
After hanging up, Qin Xiangdong looked at Wang Yunxiao with a smile and asked, “You’ve got quite the memory, what are your plans after graduation?
Have you considered working here?”
Wang Yunxiao asked curiously, “How much would you pay me a month?”
“Five pieces a month.”
“Nevermind, forget I asked!”
A salary of five pieces a month is indeed considered a rare high income for the common folk.
But to Wang Yunxiao, it was somewhat lacking.
Not to mention anything else, with his current status as a student, after graduating from middle school, he could easily find a job with his diploma.
Qin Xiangdong wasn’t offended and nodded, “That’s the standard salary for a patrol police intern; for you, it’s indeed a bit less.
How much do you think would be appropriate?”
He had just transferred to the area and was unfamiliar with the local situation.
The salaries of police officers are indeed not high, but the hidden benefits are not insignificant.
According to past customs, no one comes for the salary itself.
Wearing this uniform, one can hardly avoid the gifts from others.
Together with various forms of extortion and bribery, these constitute the main source of income.
Wang Yunxiao thought for a moment, then extended his palm and said, “At least fifty yuan a month, and I want to bring my brothers in too.”
This was also an astronomical demand.
Qin Xiangdong spoke of graduation and had not required him to come to work at the police station right away.
As for the future, who could say for sure?
The main point of his question was actually to test Wang Yunxiao’s psychological price point, to gauge the cost of recruiting people from the Jianghu world into the society.
At that moment, a young police officer with a crew cut pushed the door open, stood at attention, and saluted, loudly saying, “Reporting in!”
“Come over here, I’ll introduce you.”
Qin Xiangdong gestured with his hand.
To Wang Yunxiao, he said, “This is Comrade Gao Shan, currently in charge of criminal investigation work in our station.”
“Gao Shan, this is the young brother I mentioned to you, currently studying at Qinghe Middle School.
You’re both young, you should interact more when you have the time.”
After a brief introduction, Qin Xiangdong picked up the sketch Wang Yunxiao had just completed, along with the case file whose ink was still fresh, and handed them to Gao Shan: “Go investigate this person’s situation now, stay low-key, and don’t startle the snake by hitting the grass.”
“Understood!”
Gao Shan took the documents, stealing a glance at Wang Yunxiao without a word.
He didn’t speak, and Wang Yunxiao didn’t initiate conversation either.
Qin Xiangdong smiled, gesturing for Gao Shan to leave.
“Are the people you brought over all Garrison Soldiers?” Wang Yunxiao asked bluntly.
“No, they don’t meet the qualifications.”
Qin Xiangdong shook his head, “So you’re a senior now, don’t stoop to their level.”
If Garrison Soldiers are considered cannon fodder, then these eliminated soldiers don’t even qualify as coal ash, lacking both experience and resistance to Echo Erosion.
“It’s hard to maintain Garrison Soldiers, I understand that.
I can’t afford a monthly salary of fifty yuan, but I could find a way to get some special equipment.
Are you interested?”
Qin Xiangdong continued to pick up the earlier topic.
“Wolf Fang Club?”
“Just kidding, of course it’s good stuff!”
Seeing that Wang Yunxiao seemed somewhat interested, Qin Xiangdong couldn’t help but reveal a crafty smile: “I’ve fought with these things, I know what’s useful and what’s not firsthand!
And about Garrison Soldiers…
do you know what this title implies?”
Wang Yunxiao was taken aback; he really had not given it much thought.
Chess Herald and Advisor, those titles carried deep implications.
As for Garrison Soldiers…
weren’t they just cannon fodder?
What other meaning could there be?
But hearing what Qin Xiangdong said suggested there might be a deeper explanation.
Wang Yunxiao was not well-versed in history, let alone in a version that had been modified to the point of being almost unrecognizable after his transmigration.
This was a blind spot in his knowledge.
“The Garrison Soldier system was replaced by conscription thousands of years ago, but now, because of practical needs, it has been revived.”
Qin Xiangdong explained, “I personally don’t really like it…
the downsides are obvious, but there’s no help for it.
Did your instructors ever tell you that Garrison Soldiers need to provide their own provisions?”
