Chronicles of Celestial Origins

Nether Sea Organization, Qingzhou Branch.

In the majestic and majestic hall, seven or eight men and women gathered together.

A burly man was the first to speak: "The main reason for convening everyone for discussion today is for one thing. I think everyone has heard about the recent internal rectification of Xuanmen. All Xuanmen have launched strict investigations, and the punishment has something to do with us. A disciple of information trading.”

"Many Taoist disciples who had long-term cooperation with us have now lost contact. This is a big blow to our intelligence network. What do you think? How should we deal with this matter?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a man with a beard and cheeks said: "This is expected. I don't think you need to be too sensitive. You should remain unchanged in response to changes. What Xuanmen does is nothing more than trying to cut off and disintegrate our business step by step. years of intelligence network.”

"I think we can take two steps. First, reduce the contact with Xuanmen's internal disciples in the near future to avoid the edge. We will talk about it after this storm."

“Second, stabilize and further develop intelligence channels.”

Another woman said: "After the Xuanmen begins to be renovated, those practicing families will surely follow suit. We should be vigilant."

"On the one hand, we need to reduce contact with core figures, and on the other hand, we must also be on guard against transactions involving inquiring about information about people in the cultivating family. We must not make the same mistake again."

"This time, many Xuanmen monks who have long-term cooperation with us were exposed due to the leakage of intelligence."

"As far as I know, many Xuanmen have sent personnel to various intelligence exchanges to inquire about their internal information, and then use the information we provide to make reverse inferences and arrest the insiders who provided us with the information."

"We should be vigilant about this and formulate corresponding prevention strategies."

The burly man said: "I'm afraid this will not be easy to handle. The Intelligence Exchange itself is open to all rivers and accepts all comers, regardless of identity and motivation. This has always been the purpose of the Intelligence Exchange since its establishment."

"If others are willing to pay money to purchase corresponding information, we cannot refuse to provide it to them, or deliberately provide false information. Isn't this a loss of our own reputation?"

"It's okay to say it once or twice, but if it happens again, it will greatly reduce the reputation and credibility of the information exchange."

"If in order to guard against Xuanmen, the information exchange's brand is smashed and its reputation and credibility are lost, it will be more than worth the gain."

"What's more, the headquarters has no other industrial income, and almost all the income is from the information exchange. This means killing 800 enemies and losing 1,000 to ourselves. I don't think it is advisable."

The woman said: "Zhang Daoyou has misunderstood. That's not what I meant. The act of destroying one's own sign is naturally not advisable. I think the threshold should be raised appropriately, which will be beneficial to the confidentiality of intelligence personnel. In the long run, it will be a hundred benefits." Harmful."

"Raise the threshold?" A man with slender eyes and a long beard frowned: "Wu Daoyou means that we should follow the model of the Chamber of Commerce? Implement identity registration for visitors?"

"I'm afraid this will affect the business. After all, intelligence trading is different from the sale of items. Many of the monks who come here are themselves shady."

The woman said: "It's not like the Chamber of Commerce, but it's a form of identity authentication that doesn't require clear information."

"We can use number plates to replace identities. From now on, all monks who come to the intelligence office for transactions will be issued a special token and recorded in the record. This token represents their identity."

"All future transactions will be completed through this token, so that we can know exactly how many transactions this customer has made."

"From the contents of its repeated transactions, we can also deduce whether it was sent by a Taoist or spiritual family to inquire for information."

"This will facilitate our management and take corresponding countermeasures."

"We can also divide the tokens into corresponding levels and convert the tokens held by all guests into five levels, one, two, three, four and five, to raise the threshold."

"According to the number, amount and importance of their transactions, tokens of the corresponding level will be given."

"For example, if ten transactions are completed in the headquarters intelligence office, or the transaction amount reaches one million spiritual stones, or if important information about a monk at the level of a god is provided, as long as the corresponding conditions are met, we will issue a second-level token to him ”

"After completing hundreds of transactions, or the transaction amount reaches 10 million spirit stones, or providing important information about the Void Refining level monks, we will issue them with a level three token."

"In this way, we can know who our long-term customers are, which will not only help us find long-term trustworthy partners, but also prevent temptations from people with ulterior motives."

“With this hierarchical system, we can set corresponding thresholds for all customers who come to trade.”

"For example, if someone wants to inquire about the information about the cultivator of the gods within Xuanmen, we can set it up so that only guests holding third-level tokens can conduct this information transaction. In this way, we can block the temptation of some people with ulterior motives."

"To be honest, I actually felt that the rules of our information exchange were not strict enough and it was easy for others to take advantage of them. I have been considering improving the rules of the information exchange."

"When something like this happens this time, I think it is even more necessary to make adjustments. As I just said, this is my preliminary plan. If fellow Taoists agree, I will come up with a more detailed and complete plan."

"I think this plan proposed by Fellow Daoist Wu is very good." The burly man said, "What do you think?"

"It is great to be able to improve the rules and regulations of intelligence trading, but will such a hierarchical system have a certain impact on intelligence trading? As Wu Daoyou just said, if someone wants to buy the information of the cultivator, but does not have a third-level order Card, then didn’t we lose a business in vain?” On the one hand, the big-eared man had a different opinion.

The woman said: "Everything has advantages and disadvantages. Everything has its two sides. Whether something is feasible or not, the important thing is whether the advantages outweigh the disadvantages or the disadvantages outweigh the advantages."

"I believe that the reform of the intelligence system will be beneficial and harmless, both in the long run and in the current self-examination of Xuanmen and the Cultivation Family."

"Of course, we may lose some customers and income in the short term, but after implementation, it will be very beneficial to the protection of our intelligence personnel, the coordination of information, and the development of intelligence."

"I think monks who really have the need for information trading will not care about this small change, but for those with evil intentions and other agendas, it is a fatal blow."

"And as I said just now, this is only a preliminary plan, and the specific plan still needs to be carefully considered and studied."

"We will pilot it in our headquarters first. If the results are good, we can even go to the information exchanges in all counties in the world."

"I agree."

"I agree."

"I agree."

Several people expressed their opinions one after another.

"Since everyone agrees with the plan proposed by Fellow Daoist Wu, let's get started! Fellow Daoist Wu, you are solely responsible for handling the specific plan. If you need any help, just ask." The burly man said.

"Okay." The woman responded.

"Before Fellow Daoist Wu launches this plan, do you have any other good ways to deal with Xuanmen's recent self-examination measures?"

A man with big ears said: "It is not a good idea to defend passively. We should take the initiative to attack."

"Just now, Fellow Daoist Wu said that Xuanmen has sent personnel to our intelligence exchange to inquire about information. Based on the information we provided, we will make inferences and arrest the insiders who provided us with the information. I am also aware of this matter."

"I think we should use the channels we have to proactively find the identities of these spies."

"If we can know the specific identity of the spy, when they come to inquire about the information, we can deliberately release false information to him and let him bring it back."

"If the Xuanmen and the Cultivation Family listen to our false news and arrest people by mistake, they will fall into chaos without us taking action."

"The effect is definitely much better than our blind prevention."

The burly man nodded and said: "Well, this is a good suggestion. What do you fellow Taoists think?"

"agree."

"agree."

Everyone responded one after another.

………………

In a dark room in Xuantang City, two men were sitting opposite each other. The man with his back to him had a fair complexion, regular features, and a dignified appearance. He was none other than Ding Jianyang, the grandson-in-law of the original Zhu family in Xingang.

He only heard him say: "I don't know why you summoned me?"

The man with a broad figure said: "You have been here for so many years and your performance has always been very good. This time, we have a secret task for you to complete. I wonder if you will accept it?"

"But if you have a destiny, you must do your best."

The man turned it over in his hand and handed him a file: "You take a look first."

Ding Jianyang took the file, opened it, and his pupils shrank suddenly. On the left side of the file, a lifelike portrait of a character appeared on the paper. The figure was slightly thin, but the appearance was delicate. It was exactly what Tang Ning had drawn.

On the right side of the file, Tangning's identity and resume are clearly listed line by line.

"You should be familiar with this person!" the man said.

Ding Jianyang replied: "Back then, I was recruited by the Zhu family in Xingang as my son-in-law. The Xingang Qianyi Sect knew that I hated the Zhu family deeply, so they lobbied me to provide them with information about the Zhu family. Tang Ning was working in the Qianyi Sect's Intelligence Department at that time. We I’ve had a lot of interactions.”

The man said: "So we decided to send you to investigate this person."

"Some time ago, all Taoist sects launched internal self-examination operations. Three disciples of Taixuanzong's office in Xuantang City who have been cooperating with us for a long time were investigated."

"Before they were investigated, someone used our intelligence exchange to inquire about a lot of information about their internal personnel in the name of buying intelligence. We suspect that this information may have exposed the identities of these three people."

"According to the intelligence, it is very likely that the person who inquired about Taixuan Zong from us is Tang Ning."

Ding Jianyang nodded and said, "Do you need me to get rid of him?"

The man waved his hand: "That's not necessary. In any case, we are in an alliance with Taixuanzong after all, and we still have to take care of our face. If they don't break up with each other first, we can't take the lead, otherwise we will tell the truth, and we will be very passive. ”

"Considering the reputation and credibility of the intelligence exchange, it is impossible for us to refuse others to purchase intelligence information, so we need to keep a close eye on the spies sent by Xuanmen."

"If they come to inquire for intelligence again, we can release some false news to confuse them and make them disorganized. Your task is to keep an eye on his every move and pay special attention to his movements. If he goes to the information exchange, you must promptly report him. report."
