Apart from the final warning, the paper also listed the benefits of reporting to headquarters.
纸张上除了这最后的警告内容，还有关于去总部报道的好处。
Were the drinks and flashlights available for exchange there?
饮料和电筒是总部那里换的吗？
After reading it all, Yang Zicang tore the paper to shreds on the spot. Could any benefits rival a Century Weapon?
看完它的杨子藏当场将纸张撕成了碎片。再好能有百年器？
“The force field ability requires resonating at headquarters, right?” Yang Zicang said while tearing the paper.
“力场能力是要在总部共鸣才有的对吧。”杨子藏边撕边说道。
“Uh-huh.”
“嗯嗯。”
Liang Xi was eager to show off.
梁喜存心想表演一番。
A force field appeared with a whoosh, thin and hovering just in front of him.
一道力场哗地展现，薄薄的悬浮在身前。
“It can channel up to a hundred years of time for defense,” Liang Xi said.
“它最高能投入一百年时序来进行防御。”梁喜道。
Yang Zicang turned to him in surprise. “A hundred years? Can it be amplified to five hundred?”
杨子藏转头吃惊的看向他：“你说一百年？它能增幅到五百年吗？”
“I haven’t tried, but it should work. When I channel ten years, I get fifty—pretty smooth! If only my model could have such a high multiplier.”
“虽然没试过，但应该没问题，因为我投入十年就有五十年，很舒服啊！要是我的模型也能这么高增幅就好了。”
So that was it.
竟然是如此。
A fivefold amplification!
五倍增幅！
“Bro, this power comes from that statue to all of us. Once you resonate with it, you can use the force field. The statue is huge—tall as a mountain, housed in a massive temple.”
“哥，这个是雕像给我们所有人的能力，只要和它共鸣，都能展现力场。它非常非常大，跟山一样高，在一座大大的神庙中。”
Yang Zicang let out a breath, feeling a tingling sensation spread through his whole body.
杨子藏呼了口气，他觉得全身有种酥麻感。
“The group that has been occupying that place for a long time is what we call ‘Headquarters.’ Some of them were big shots back on Earth—there were movie stars, chairpersons of major corporations, scientists, and scholars. But a lot were also just ordinary people with powerful models.”
“长期占据着那里的那群人，就是我们口中的‘总部’。他们中有些人在地球的时候，就是大人物，有明星，有大公司董事长，还有科学家，学者。但也有很多拥有厉害模型的普通人。”
He didn’t care about this so-called Headquarters. What caught Yang Zicang’s attention at this moment was that the maximum Force Field input of a hundred years’ sequence could achieve a five-hundred-year sequency increment.
什么总部他并不关心，此刻杨子藏所在意的是力场最高仅一百年时序的投入，却能达到五百年的时序增幅度。
He silently sensed the information contained within the Quadrilateral Model.
他默默感受了下四边形模型内蕴含的信息。
[Primary Corpse Leap, remaining uses: 1.]
[初级尸跳，剩余使用次数1。]
[Complete Stamp Emblem.]
[完整邮徽。]
Yang Zicang squinted his eyes and looked at Liang Xi, who was hopping cheerfully, moving her light shield back and forth.
杨子藏眼角眯了眯，看向雀跃着将光盾挪过来挪过去的梁喜。
“Ah Liang, do you know the Stamp Emblem?”
“阿梁，你知道邮徽吗？”
Liang Xi turned his head and looked at him blankly.
梁喜转头茫然的望向他。
Yang Zicang sensed the Stamp Emblem. When he focused on it, the Emblem relayed some vague information: it could pinpoint the Dreamscape he intended to go to.
杨子藏感受着这枚邮徽，当注意到它后，邮徽传递来些许模糊的信息：可以定位想要去到的念境。
……
……
Luo Bin, peering into the distance at an abandoned garden, withdrew his binoculars.
远远望着一片废弃花园的洛宾将望远镜收回。
“Why isn’t there anyone? This should definitely be the place.”
“为什么没人，明明就是这儿才对。”
His brow furrowed slightly.
他的眉头皱了皱。
[I, the Great Quadrilateral, am certain—the key figure is nearby. I’m not wrong, not wrong!]
[我，伟大的四边形确定，关键人物就在附近，我没错，没错！]
“…….”
“…….”
[I am truly worthless.]
[我真是个废物。]
“Damn it.”
“你大爷的。”
As he left, from atop a nearby structure, a figure emerged, looking down upon the scene below.
当他离开后，旁边不远处的建筑顶端走出道身影俯视着下方。
It was a broad-shouldered, bald-headed man with a stature like a small giant.
那是如同小巨人般高大的光头、宽肩身影。
The black long trousers on his thick legs flapped loudly in a gust of wind.
黑色长筒裤在他粗壮的双腿上被一阵风吹得哗哗作响。
……
……
On the dilapidated street.
破败长街上。
“You down there. Who are you?”
“对面的，你是谁？”
Wang Yu’an looked ahead at a group of people who seem displaced, trudging along with shabby luggage.
王育安看着前方一群落难般，拎着寒酸行李步行的人。
“Finally cornered you here. Ha, when you encounter such a rare chance to drag things out, why are you running away?”
“总算在这堵住了你们，呵，明明遇到难得的拉长时间的际遇，干嘛往外跑呢。”
Yang Qian stepped forward from the crowd: “What do you want?”
杨千排众而出：“你想干嘛？”
“Me? Ha, as a professional investor, I’m here to bring you money, of course.”
“我？呵，作为职业投资人，当然是给你送财来了。”
“Professional investor?” The group exchanged puzzled glances.
“职业投资人？”这些人面面相觑。
Wang Yu’an ignored them, pulled Yang Qian aside to the roadside, and leaned in with a hand on his shoulder, whispering away from the crowd.
王育安不理会这些人，上前把杨千拉到路边，手搭在这人肩膀上背着众人低语。
“You want to invest in me?” Yang Qian had heard of such people before.
“你想投资我？”杨千倒是听过这种人的存在。
“Here’s an investment opportunity for you.”
“给你个投资机会。”
“You want me to invest in you?”
“要我投资你？”
“Within a set time, invest in someone. Ha, I watched your previous battles anonymously. Really, a complete mess. That’s the difference between a pro and an amateur.”
“在我规定的时间，给一个人投资。呵，你之前的战斗场景我匿名看过了。真的，一塌糊涂。职业和非职业的区别就在这里。”
Wang Yu’an tapped his head with a finger in a carefree gesture.
王育安潇洒的拿手指戳了戳自己脑袋。
“What?”
“什么？”
“It’s all in this one thought.”
“就在这一念之间。”
Yang Qian gave him a sidelong, disdainful glance.
杨千嫌弃的斜视他。
“I’ll give you at least five thousand Time Units. You spend all of them on that person, following my investment directions. But I take ninety-five percent of the Time Units.”
“到时候我会给你至少五千时序。你全部拿去按我做的投资给那个人。但我要收走百分之九十五的时序。”
“Taking away so much! Leaving me only five percent.”
“收走那么多！才给我百分之五。”
“Much? How could it be much? You’ll get a five percent yield of Time Units and a four-cornered friendship from that person’s promise—priceless, right?”
“多？怎么会多呢。你会获得百分之五的时序收益，以及那个人给你的承诺，一个四边形的友谊，千金不换才对啊。”
Yang Qian’s body trembled slightly.
杨千浑身一震。
“You don’t mean…” Yang Qian glanced around hastily, lowering his voice urgently: “Don’t tell me you want me to invest in that Yang guy!”
“你该…”杨千左右看了眼，压低声音急道：“该不会是让我投资那个杨什么的家伙吧！”
“Exactly. You’re the best candidate—otherwise, if he realizes it, he wouldn’t accept such a large amount of time sequence.”
“没错。你是最好的人选，否则他反应过来的话，不会接受这么大笔时序。”
Wang Yu’an patted him on the shoulder:
王育安拍了拍他肩膀：
“You’re the only one he invited. I can’t figure out what kind of luck you’ve had, that I get a chance to remind you again to seize this investment. It’s probably your ancestors’ blessing!”
“你是唯一被他邀请的人。真是不知道走什么运，居然会有机会让我来再次提醒你把握投资，这大概是你祖宗在保佑你啊！”
“But…”
“可是…”
“But what else is there to hesitate about?”
“还有什么好可是的。”
“I already turned him down.”
“我都拒绝他了。”
“You don’t have any psychological reservations, do you?”
“你不会有什么心理障碍吧？”
“That’d be so embarrassing!”
“那多丢脸啊！”
“You’re right, saving face is most important.”
“你说得对，脸面最重要。”
Wang Yu’an took a deep breath, gently patted his shoulder again, and forced a smile:
王育安深吸口气，搭在肩膀上的手轻轻拍了拍，强笑道：
“Just do it for my sake, swallow your pride a bit.”
“你就当是赏我个脸，委屈下自己好了。”
“Then, can you give me a bit more. How about… six percent?”
“那，那能不能再给我多分点。要不就…百分之…六？”
…..
…..
After clumsily swinging his spear a few times, Yang Zicang received a Mental Link from Luo Bin.
胡乱耍了几趟枪的杨子藏收到了洛宾的心灵链接。
“What’s up? Good timing, actually I wanted to ask you about the post emblem.”
“干嘛？正好，我想问问关于邮徽的事。”
{Post emblem? Ha, it really shows you got it yesterday. That jump skill really suits you; that’s the ability of the post emblem. Although it’s a random dream, the abilities you gain are always well-suited.}
{邮徽？哈，你果然在昨天获得了它。那跳跃技能的确是很配你，这就是邮徽的能力，虽然是随机梦境，但实际上获得的能力都是很适合你的。}
Yang Zicang walked downstairs, smiling: “Can you tell me more about it?”
杨子藏往楼下走出，笑道：“能否告诉我多些关于它的消息？”
On the other end, Luo Bin looked at Yang Zicang with a similar grin.
另一端的洛宾同样笑呵呵的看着杨子藏。
{Information isn’t free for nothing, you know.}
{情报不是免费的，你知道吧。}
“No way, bro, I just… just started…”
“不是吧哥，我才刚刚…”
{Don’t rush, I’m just making you aware of their value. Trust me this kind of intel—valuable fresh intel like this starts at a decade minimum. How else do you think I earn my time sequence?}
{别急，我只是让你知道它们的价值。没错，这种情报，价值都是十年起。不然你以为我的时序是怎么赚来的。}
So this guy’s some kind of information broker.
感情这位是个情报贩子。
Yang Zicang sized up the other party in his perception scene with ill intent, wondering how much Time Sequence his intel would be worth in this guy’s hands.
杨子藏不怀好意的仔细打量了下感知场景中的对方，不知道自己的情报在这家伙手里能值多少时序。
However, Luo Bin probably wouldn’t sell it, at least not so soon.
不过，洛宾应该不会卖的吧，至少不会这么快。
As if drawn by his thoughts, the image of Luo Bin in his perception scene zoomed in a bit, the main view focusing entirely on him.
似受到自己的心念注意，感知画面中的洛宾形象放大了些，主要画面都聚焦到了他身上。
Luo Bin said arrogantly:
洛宾很拽的道：
{If one day you earn over a hundred years of Time Sequence per hour, you can obtain a Partial Stamp Emblem that same day. Also, if you get a Partial Stamp Emblem for three consecutive days, you’ll receive a Complete one…}
{如果你某日，每小时获得超过一百年以上的时序，那么就可以在当日获得残缺邮徽。同时，如果你连续三天获得残缺邮徽，就能得到枚完整的…}
He spoke as if reciting a textbook, and Yang Zicang quickly interrupted him.
他背诵课文似的说着，杨子藏赶紧打断了他。
“What’s the difference between Partial and Complete?”
“残缺和完整，有什么区别？”
{Hey, another ten years. That’s me giving away two ten-year worth of consultation fees for free. I’m being cheap here, since nine out of ten people in this place are short-lived and can’t afford the pricier stuff.}
{嘿，又是十年。这下子我算是免费给了你两个十年的情报咨询费了。我这还是便宜的，毕竟这里十之八九都是短命鬼，买不起贵的资讯。}
“Stop wasting time; I’m on a tight schedule.”
“别废话，我的时间很紧。”
Back on the way, Liang Xi watched Yang Zicang as he seemed to be talking to himself.
回去路上，梁喜在旁边看着杨子藏好似自言自语似的说着话。
{Tight schedule? What good will knowing that do you? A Complete Stamp Emblem is hard to get.}
{很紧？你知道又能有什么用，完整邮徽是很难获得的。}
Luo Bin, still on the edge of the museum, introduced the functions of the Complete Stamp Emblem one by one.
还在博物馆边缘的洛宾一一介绍起完整邮徽的作用来。
Only then did Yang Zicang realize that besides being able to actively locate Dream Fields, it also had a certain chance of granting mysterious new abilities in those dreams, and most importantly, it could be used to extend the stay time with Time Sequence.
这下杨子藏才知道，除了可以主动定位梦境场，还有一定概率在那些梦境中获得神秘的新能力。以及最重要的，那就是可以用时序在里面延续停留的时间。
Good thing he hadn’t rushed in recklessly; he had hardly any spare Time Sequence.
还好没有贸然进入，自己根本没什么额外时序。
……
……
The two chatted via Mental Link and then headed back to the room to meet up.
双方边通过心灵链接聊天，边回到了房间内碰头。
In the dim light, Luo Bin opened a can of beer as soon as he arrived, glanced at Yang Zicang, and asked, “Want one?”
微光中，洛宾一到就开了罐啤酒，看了杨子藏一眼：“要来一罐吗？”
“No thanks.”
“不用。”
Gulp.
咕咚。
“Good lad, eyeing the Complete Stamp Emblem? Hah, this world is truly mysterious. I know two people who suddenly became very strong, and I personally suspect they might have obtained the Complete Stamp Emblem.”
“好小子，打完整邮徽的主意？呵，这世界可真是神秘，我知道有两个人突然之间就变得很强，我个人猜测他们或许获得过完整邮徽。”
Gulp, gulp, gulp. Burp.
咕咚咕咚咕咚，嗝。
“Hey, if you could get perfect intel on that, you could sell it to me. It’s said that the Complete Stamp Emblem can be traded—don’t know if that’s true, just a rumor.”
“嘿，你要是能有这方面的完美情报，可以卖给我。据说完整的邮徽可以交易，不知道是不是真的，这只是个小道消息。”
With a clatter, another can of beer was opened.
啪嗒，又一罐啤酒打开。
“Drinking like this, aren’t you afraid of ruining your health?”
“你这样喝酒，不怕喝坏身子？”
Yang Zicang rubbed his hands together, looked at him, and offered a word of concern.
杨子藏搓了搓手看向他，关怀了句。
“At headquarters, there are plenty of people on the streets who have developed healing abilities but have little combat power. They’re eagerly waiting for me, their lord, to come and swap their ability spheres. I’m doing this to boost their sales in advance.”
“总部那边，路边上有大把诞生治疗能力，但没什么战斗力的人。他们眼巴巴等着老爷我去换他们的能力球呢，我这是为给他们冲销量做准备。”
“…” Liang Xi silently took a sip of mineral water.
“……”梁喜默默喝了口矿泉水。
A folded line of light flickered.
折线光芒闪动。
Luo Bin, slightly tipsy, looked at the two across from him—a silken thread connected them.
洛宾微醺地看着对面两人身前，一道丝线将这两个家伙相连。
In his mind, Liang Xi told Yang Zicang, “This information is false. Healers are in high demand by various organizations and receive excellent treatment. Items imbued with powerful healing abilities are very expensive.”
梁喜心中给杨子藏道，这个是假消息。治疗能力者是被各种组织抢着要的，待遇很好。蕴含强效治疗能力的物品也是很贵的。
Yang Zicang did not expose Luo Bin but instead rubbed his hands and said,
杨子藏没有拆穿洛宾，反而搓了搓手的道：
“Um… Brother Bin.”
“那个…宾哥。”
Yang Zicang himself was disgusted by his own tone when he uttered these two words.
说出这俩字的杨子藏都被自己恶寒到。
Liang Xi turned his head in surprise to look at his big brother Yang.
梁喜诧异扭头看向自己的杨大哥。
Luo Bin raised an eyebrow, watching the young man across from him, who looked somewhat awkward, with vigilance.
洛宾眉毛一跳，警惕的注视对面神情扭捏的年轻人。
“Well… could I borrow some lifespan… temporal energy? I can write you an IOU.”
“那个，我能借点寿…时序吗？我可以给你打欠条。”
“Get lost.”
“滚蛋。”
