342: Administrator Meeting

Jinghai City, Dragon Country GTI Headquarters.

This is a hidden building constructed underground, similar to the underground area of Dam No. 0, located beneath the Central Building, the most magnificent structure in Jinghai City.

From the first basement level to the fifth basement level, the Headquarters is divided into three areas: A, B, C, D, and E. The uppermost level is E, which is accessible to all registered GTI Professionals. This area is no different from a regular commercial district, the only difference being that it sells items related to the Forbidden Zone and provides services related to the Forbidden Zone.

As for the Dragon Country GTI, the E level also retains Dragon Country characteristics. The education industry is naturally globally leading, and even the E level of the Dragon Country GTI Headquarters is filled with programs like 'Blade Running Training Classes,' 'Eat Well Special Practice Classes,' and 'Blade Running Coaching.'

As long as you pay, you can learn knowledge related to blade running here. Of course, setting aside whether training with teachers and coaches for blade running is useful, for most people, this is like going to a gym; even persistence is very difficult. Therefore, the E level can be said to be a gathering place for 'leeks,' where most people consume useless products.

Further down, the D level is a place accessible only to GTI Professionals who have reached the Gold Level or above.

Compared to the E level, the transactions and services offered at the D level are more advanced.

More than half of this area consists of escort shops, offering a dazzling array of service items.

Such as a single match yielding 300,000 in big purples, a deal where payment is only made if the items are obtained, a deal requiring three consecutive successful extractions, or a deal with a poker card plus a 100,000 minimum guarantee.

And because this is a world where the Forbidden Zone has descended into reality, no matter what kind of order it is, the price for requesting an escort is always much higher than the guaranteed price.

For example, an order with a 500,000 extraction guarantee usually requires at least 800,000 to hire an escort, while an order with a 1,000,000 single-game extraction guarantee directly doubles in price, requiring 2,000,000 to hire!

The reason for this is that in this world where the Forbidden Zone has descended into reality, the value of materials is linked to real-world currency. Furthermore, for ordinary people, a 500,000 extraction is not just about earning 500,000; it affects all aspects of social life, from college entrance exams and jobs to marriage...

Taking job hunting as an example, as long as one can achieve a 100,000 extraction in the Forbidden Zone, they can apply for most security guard jobs, and if they can complete a 300,000 extraction, then becoming a five-star general at Biguiyuan is not out of the question.

And if one has experience with a 500,000 extraction in the Forbidden Zone, that goes beyond the limit of a security guard; they can directly apply to be a bodyguard!

Therefore, the escort industry in this world is extremely prosperous, almost the largest industry globally, besides material trading.

And back to the Dragon Country GTI Headquarters.

Further down, the C level on the third basement floor is an area accessible only to Diamond Level Professionals and above.

Here, the nature of commerce completely changes. The trading market has far fewer sellers of materials and many more buyers of materials. Escort shops no longer take orders but instead start issuing orders to the Professionals here, as Diamond Level Professionals and above are already fully capable of completing orders of ordinary classified difficulty.

Even on the C level, the few training classes no longer sell courses but instead start recruiting instructors, offering exorbitant monthly salaries, with tens or hundreds of thousands per month being common, and they still appear to be severely understaffed.

It can be said that Professionals who can come to the C level are no longer 'leeks' but have evolved into 'sickles,' starting to harvest lower-level Professionals.

And further down, the B level, is a place accessible only to Black Hawk Level Professionals and above.

Here, there is no noisy market, only quiet and orderly trading houses. There are no 'leek-cutting' educational institutions, only the Special Operations Department which can truly enhance one's strength, as well as various departments such as combat, medical, and logistics.

Those who can reach the B level are essentially the high-level Professionals of the entire Dragon Country GTI.

After all, to come here, one must not only reach the Black Hawk Level but also pass the GTI Professional assessment.

As for the deepest A level, that is a place no GTI Professional can enter without permission. It houses the Dragon Country GTI's highest conference room, capable of accommodating thousands of people for simultaneous meetings, and is equipped with special laboratories for research and development of Forbidden Zone-related scientific projects. It also has the largest material warehouse in the country, storing numerous important strategic reserves and materials.

Only high-level members of GTI can enter the underground A level.

Normally, the underground A level only has some GTI researchers and warehouse managers, and the conference room is usually deserted.

However, on the first day of Xiao Yun's assessment, around seven or eight in the evening, the conference room on the A level of the Dragon Country GTI Headquarters was packed with people.

"By the way, is that true or false?"

"I'm not sure, the news came too suddenly, no one knows right now."

"Speaking of Haibei City, it seems to be just a small city in the south, right? It doesn't even count as a second-tier city, it should be a third-tier city, right?"

"That's why it's so strange. How could a Professional of this level appear in such a small city?"

...

In the A level conference room.

Thousands of people from all over the Dragon Country were seated, some were businessmen, some were officials, some were professors, some were doctors, but without exception, everyone present was a high-level member of GTI.

This is a different position from a Professional, generally composed of people who have achieved great success and influence in real society, have not achieved much in blade running in the Forbidden Zone, but have made huge investments and contributions to the Forbidden Zone, thereby achieving significant accomplishments.

Whether it's investing in the construction of Forbidden Zone-related industries, developing special products for the Forbidden Zone, or being the general person in charge of organizing Forbidden Zone work in various regions, they can all qualify to become high-level members of the Forbidden Zone.

And these people are collectively referred to as GTI Administrators.

"By the way, what's the content of today's meeting? I didn't even have time to read the notice before coming."

At the front row of the A level conference room, He Yan had just sat down when a young woman asked curiously.

Before He Yan could answer, He Mo, who was behind the woman, also arrived, smiled faintly, and answered for him, "It should be about the team he supervised today."

"Is that so? What kind of data does this team have? To gather all the Administrators here."

"Sigh, don't even mention AYun, I'm curious too, but He Yan just won't say, he won't even tell me, his own brother."

"Please, it's all according to regulations."

He Yan sighed helplessly.

To be honest, with what happened today, anyone would want to share it and shock others.

But the problem is, as an examiner, he could only convey some vague information to people who were also Administrators like He Mo; specific data could not be revealed.

"By the way, the captain of this team is also called AYun, it seems. No wonder he has such Forbidden Zone talent."

Upon hearing her say that, He Yan suddenly realized.

Indeed, Xiao Yun's name also has the character 'Yun,' just like hers.

He just didn't know if Xiao Yun's teammates called him AYun.

"By the way, AYun, when you see Xiao Yun and their results, don't be too shocked, okay?"

He Yan thought of what was about to happen and suddenly chuckled mischievously.

"Shocked? Are you talking about me? Am I shocked?"
