Chapter 322. Sequence Transfer

Because Xu Huan, the chief strategist of Black Pupil Pharmaceuticals, was miraculously rescued and out of danger, the entire Rose Group was instantly on high alert.

The importance of a strategist in a war is self-evident. The Rose Group's top brass was particularly wary of this ruthless adversary, and the news of his return suddenly heightened tensions on the front lines.

When Jiang Jianxin quietly returned to the Green Abyss battlefield wearing a black hood, he saw a large crowd gathered on the training ground.

From the air, the dark mass of soldiers was densely packed, a significant increase in size compared to previous days.

She swooped down on her broom, landing at the edge of the camp. Jing Wei, wearing a faded brown jacket, sat alone on a haystack, her gaze following the troops training, lost in thought.

"Sir geographer, have you seen Cecily?"

Jiang Jianxin lightly jumped off the broom and asked.

Jing Wei raised her hand and pointed to the noisy camp area in the distance:

"The Rose Group's strategists came from headquarters to the front lines to guide the work, and Your Excellency was among them."

Jiang Jianxin couldn't help but gasp softly.

It was really bad timing; she had wanted to ask Cecily if there had been any unusual developments in the military recently.

However, since the core staff of the Rose Group were discussing matters with military officers, it was inconvenient for her, as an outsider, to disturb them rashly.

She simply found a haystack to sit on and started chatting with Jingwei:

"I heard you're a short-term hired thug for the TV station?"

Jing Wei nodded slightly, her tone calm:
“That’s right, I’m not permanently tied to the TV station. I only take on jobs when I’m short on money—if I need travel expenses, I’ll work at the TV station for a while.”

Although both the TV station and Black Eye Pharmaceuticals recruit thugs to work for them, their systems are quite different.

The henchmen of Black Eye Pharmaceuticals are long-term; once you join Black Eye Pharmaceuticals, it's like being locked into it for generations, with your descendants having to work for it.

Its control over the henchmen is also very strong, almost to the point of being abnormal.

The TV station's system for hiring enforcers is based on contracts, which are divided into long-term and short-term. Long-term enforcers are managed by the TV station and must abide by its rules and regulations, but short-term enforcers are subject to fewer restrictions and are mostly paid to do their jobs.

Therefore, when Jing Wei went to the front line to fight, he had a strong sense of discipline and was not as passionate as the long-term thugs from other TV stations.

"I've heard that the long-term thugs at TV stations are paid much better than those at Black Eye Pharmaceuticals, and the short-term thugs are paid very humanely."

Jiang Jianxin casually remarked.

Jing Wei blinked, but mumbled:
"Actually... you can't trust things on the internet. It's better to see things for yourself."

Jiang Jianxin keenly sensed the hidden meaning in his words, and was slightly taken aback, turning to look at him:
"Mr. Jingwei...do you know something inside about the TV station?"

Jing Wei did not answer directly, but slowly said:
"TV stations have always had a strong ability to control public opinion. The fact that our mobile phones can have network signals now is entirely due to the TV station's signal towers."

"Did you know that before the apocalypse, the signal base stations of the Great Rong Republic were completely taken over by the television station when the first torrential rain came down?"

He paused, his tone lowering slightly:

"If chaos comes and the first thing it seizes is not manpower or resources, but these things, then these things must be of great significance to it."

Jiang Jianxin's eyes flickered slightly.

She knew perfectly well that Jing Wei majored in geography, specifically the mental attack branch. This branch could be considered the force-based faction within the Brightness Sect, because with increased combat power, they could take direct action without needing to use their intellect. Consequently, their ability to plan complex events was somewhat inferior to other branches that relied purely on their intellect.

His earlier cryptic remarks about controlling the signal towers clearly revealed a depth beyond what is readily apparent.

She paused slightly, recalling the forum's reviews of this "geographer" in her mind.

In the active circles of public forums, Jing Wei can be considered a special existence. He does not participate in any open or covert struggles between major forces, and his identity label always carries a scholarly temperament.

Occasionally, I would take on short-term jobs at TV stations, and I would also work on book proofreading and publishing under the name of the TV station, but I never really integrated into any faction.

In forum discussions, he is often described as "detached" and "low-key," yet he enjoys an excellent reputation—especially for his extensive network of connections, which has become his most prominent characteristic.

According to those scattered posts, this geographer traveled to many places that are difficult for ordinary people to reach and met all kinds of people.

More impressive to other experts than his few obscure geography books is his long list of acquaintances.

From leaders of grassroots organizations to officers of the Rose Group, and even some reclusive veteran powerhouses... Whenever the forum mentions "who Jing Wei knows," the comments section always exclaims in surprise, "So he also has connections with that person."

In other words, Jing Wei may not be good at proactive planning, but his accumulated experience and network of contacts are the most valuable information database in themselves.

Thinking of this, Jiang Jianxin subtly probed:
"How do you know about these things? Have you... discovered some inside information?"

Jing Wei laughed easily and said:
“I couldn’t have seen through such a deep level of things; it was a friend I knew before who reminded me of this.”

Jing Wei thought about those past events:

"I met him when I was caught in a rainstorm on the mountain and was looking for a place to take shelter from the rain."

"Her speech was exceptional; she spoke calmly and meticulously, giving me the impression of a reclusive, high-level strategist."

"Because she is a great farmer, and I have also spent a lot of time in the fields and have insights into how to increase yields, we talked a lot and have become friends."

Jiang Jianxin was somewhat surprised.

She thought that meeting a top strategist would be like in a TV drama, with a coffee shop and cold lighting, but she didn't expect that the one Jingwei met was so simple and unassuming, like two old farmers who hit it off in the fields.

Jing Wei clearly understands farming techniques and genuinely yearns for rural life. He then chatted with Jiang Jianxin at length about the daily life of farming in the mountains.

Just as Jiang Jianxin, a city boy who had never farmed, was about to fall silent, he changed the subject again, saying:
"However, later that mountain became a polluted area, and as a member of the strategist branch, she had no ability to protect herself, so she was taken away by her older brothers, sisters, and younger brothers and sisters."

“I went back again, originally to look for the seasonal river, but I heard that she missed the pear blossoms on the mountain, so I climbed the mountain again and took some pictures of the pear blossoms for her.”

At this point, Jing Wei said with some regret:
"But she didn't see it. I heard that her mental illness has become somatized, and now she has headaches and photophobia. Even her 'sister' is helping her reply to messages on her phone."

"I only found out later that he was actually the Parallel Master."

Jiang Jianxin's eyes widened in surprise, but the emotion in her mind suddenly became sweet and coquettish:
[Such a serious illness, it feels like something my compatriots did.]

Come to think of it, they did something quite unethical ten years ago.

The answer, truth, also speaks out:

When the Truth incident occurred, some lower-level precognitions were contaminated by emotional truths, suffered mental breakdowns, underwent a second awakening, and were transferred to the omniscient order.

Their common characteristic is that they are more emotionally unstable than the omniscient natives in the sequence, and even suffer from multiple mental illnesses.
