NFBE Chapter 21: Potential for the boss position
Chapter 21: Potential for the boss position
"I landed at position number one in the east building. My teammates and the enemy team were wiped out together. I was lucky enough to get three kills."
Yang Feiqi said casually.
"Oh, right, there's also a key card for the substation dormitory. What's your commission rate for that?"
"Room key?!" the receptionist said. "We'll buy blue-purple quality room keys at twice the price in HAF coins. As long as you're willing to sell them to our company, we won't take a cut in HAF coins."
Room key cards are indeed a rare commodity.
Yang Feiqi thought of the red card in his warehouse and then asked.
"How are the gold and red room keys calculated?"
Upon hearing Yang Feiqi ask this question, the receptionist carefully examined Yang Feiqi for a few moments.
He had initially suspected that Yang Feiqi might have released a gold-level room card.
But considering that Yang Feiqi is just a tomb raider who plays on ordinary maps, how could he possibly find a gold-quality room card?
So he assumed Yang Feiqi was just curious and continued, "Gold-quality room cards are usually acquired at three times the price of common currency, which is priced in HAF coins."
As for red-quality room cards, the acquisition price by large companies is kept secret because they are extremely rare.
Not to mention that some of the red-quality room cards even contain the "African Star" (a rare in-game currency), so even if a tomb raider manages to find one, it will likely be bought by a company that arrives shortly after.
"I see." Yang Feiqi nodded and didn't ask any further questions.
After selling the four golden collectibles, Yang Feiqi directly received over 200,000 units of universal currency.
This is roughly equivalent to an average family's annual income.
The profession of tomb raider is indeed lucrative.
But thinking about it, it makes sense. In the past, major companies had to spend a lot of money and resources to try and fail in order to develop new technologies.
But now, as long as a top-notch Delta Force team is cultivated, technological progress can be steadily achieved.
It's normal to invest any amount of money.
Yang Feiqi originally planned to enter the map several times today.
However, since the golden collectibles on the chest pendant are difficult to sell all at once, I have to log off for now.
So after selling off his extra weapons and supplies, he logged off directly on his tactical watch.
Pushing open the door of the special operations cabin, I found the staff waiting nearby.
"Hello sir, you just completed a transaction at our special operations center. We need to transfer some currency to you. Would you like to come with me, or give me your bank card and I'll handle the transaction for you?"
"Let's go together." After Yang Feiqi came out of the special operations warehouse, he followed the staff to collect the money.
After the money arrived, he took out his phone and called Xu Jian.
"How was your job search going?"
"Brother Yang, these bastards are capitalists, their contracts are all outrageous. They're all slavish contracts, you'll end up working for them."
"No rush to find one, let's find a place to eat first. I'll search for a restaurant and send you the address in a bit."
"No problem," Xu Jian nodded in agreement.
When Yang Feiqi made an appointment with Xu Jian.
Inside the Flying Tigers Special Operations Center, the mature woman who had just been addressed as "boss" by the receptionist at the transaction office has returned to the transaction office.
"Is the upgrade complete? I'll go into the next map in a bit."
"No problem, boss, all the equipment is ready for you."
The receptionist said this while pushing some expensive equipment towards the other party.
"By the way, boss, someone came today. He went into the regular dam, and came out selling four gold collectibles, a room key for the substation dormitory, and three guns."
"Four golden collectibles and a room key?"
"Yes," the receptionist said. "And I just checked, before this person came here to download maps, they rented three storage units to store their things."
"The drop rate is pretty good." The older woman thought for a moment, then said, "If he sells us golden collectibles again after he comes out of the dungeon next time, just give him a membership card and leave your contact information."
"You mean..."
"Our special operations center is newly established and needs a lot of large red [equipment/resources] to upgrade the center. However, acquiring them from outside would not only cost us favors, but also be extremely expensive."
If you can have an employee with an exceptionally high success rate as your boss, it will definitely save you a lot of trouble.
"Understood." The receptionist nodded.
"Brother Yang, did you cash out the HAF coins you earned during your first time in the game? Otherwise, how would you have the money to treat me to such a nice buffet?"
Xu Jian, who had taken a taxi there, saw the sign for the self-service store behind Yang Feiqi and immediately suspected that Yang Feiqi had sold some Huffcoins.
"A buffet for 300 yuan per person isn't too extravagant, is it?" Yang Feiqi gestured for Xu Jian to follow him upstairs.
"It's not much, but isn't this the time when we need money?" Xu Jian honestly followed Yang Feiqi into the buffet, but still said this.
"It's easy to exchange HAF coins for common currencies, but the reverse is very expensive."
"Is that so?" Yang Feiqi thought the two currencies could be exchanged freely.
"The main reason is that those top-tier companies are buying up unlimited amounts of HAFcoin."
If you want to buy HAF coins, you'll have to pay extra fees and buy them from the black market or various dubious trading houses, which will cost about 20% more than the selling price.
The two entered the restaurant and sat down. After ordering some dishes, Xu Jian then said to Yang Feiqi, "When Delta Force first came out, the cost for major giants to fight a full-scale war was around tens of millions, but now it has generally risen to hundreds of millions."
The All-Out Battlegrounds features one match per week, totaling 52 matches per year.
At the end of the year, the Delta system will rank the teams based on their wins.
Only the top three teams are guaranteed to receive a new technology.
The teams behind them receive lottery tickets based on their win rankings, and then use these tickets to try their luck at obtaining new technologies.
Therefore, for major companies, every game each week during these 52 weeks is crucial; they need a large amount of HAF coins each week to ensure their teams have the ability to win.
"I understand." Yang Feiqi figured out the rules of the game.
While HAF coins cannot be used to directly purchase the supplies needed by large corporations' full-scale battlefield teams.
However, it allows their tomb raiders to acquire the best helmets, armor, and guns, and go to the maps with the highest drop rates to try their luck with gold and red collectibles.
This is why the teams Yang Feiqi encountered after entering the map all had four heads and four armor.
Because tomb raiders who have signed contracts with large companies don't lack HAF coins at all.
Yang Feiqi couldn't even imagine the level of pressure the environment would be under in this world's top-secret map.
"I didn't sell any HAF coins. I just rented a special operations warehouse this morning to download a map, and I was lucky enough to find a golden collectible."
"That's pretty good." Xu Jian nodded in agreement with Yang Feiqi's approach.
"Selling golden collectibles directly for Huff coins isn't worthwhile, but selling them for common currency is a great deal."
But wouldn't it be great if we could have our own special operations center someday? We wouldn't have to depend on others.
"Maybe there will be some in the future," Yang Feiqi said, thinking of the room key for the manager's office in the east building that he had taken out earlier.
Inside the key room of the East Building Manager's Office, there seem to be two open-air African Star spawn points.
