Just then, Vivienne Graham hurried over from the car, her expression a little unnatural as she reported to Serizawa Ichiro:
"Teacher, The Daily Bugle somehow got internal information and just exposed the incident on Tesla Island."
"What did you say?"
Serizawa Ichiro nearly exploded with rage, demanding furiously:
"I clearly ordered a news blackout, so why did The Daily Bugle find out so quickly? Who leaked the information?"
"Ah, this..."
Vivienne Graham was also completely baffled by this.
Due to the strong electromagnetic pulse released by Supreme MUTO, almost all external communications in the entire Azores were damaged to varying degrees.
Logically, the news should not have reached New York so quickly.
But who would have thought, The Daily Bugle still got first-hand internal information within 24 hours of the incident.
No wonder Serizawa Ichiro and the others began to suspect whether there were John Jameson's informants within the Monarch Organization.
"Teacher, why don't I personally go to The Daily Bugle and talk to their editor-in-chief?"
Vivienne Graham couldn't think of any better solution at the moment.
After all, John Jameson, who had been making waves for the past six months, was notoriously difficult to deal with in their circle.
"It's too late."
Serizawa Ichiro, who had gradually calmed down, shook his head slightly:
"Once this matter is exposed, it is bound to attract widespread attention and cause a huge sensation.
Our best strategy right now is to choose silence, and then strive to eliminate the threat of Supreme MUTO before the incident completely escalates.
Only then will it be possible to turn the tide."
He then cast a desperate look at Emma Russell, "Emma, everything from now on is up to you."
Emma Russell nodded confidently, "Don't worry, leave it to me."
Just like that, an ultimate showdown between Titans officially began amidst an atmosphere filled with schemes and calculations.
...
Night fell.
After a day of high-intensity special training, Karl returned to the headquarters from King Kong's station.
As usual, he went directly to the lounge and entered the specially modified hydrotherapy tank to restore his body functions.
The hydrotherapy tank was filled with a special nutrient solution specially formulated for Karl by Samuel Sterns.
Although he didn't know the specific ingredients, after several attempts, Karl found that his physique seemed to have undergone some subtle changes.
"After midnight, it'll be the final deadline for settlement.
I wonder who will take first place, Slaanesh or Tzeentch? I'm really looking forward to it..."
Karl glanced at the two rapidly increasing prestige pointss and secretly praised them for a job well done.
Then he turned his attention to the prestige points column in the attribute panel.
Current Prestige: 5,199,999
"I didn't expect it to increase so much in just one week?"
As the battles between Godzilla and Supreme MUTO frequently occurred, Karl expected that it wouldn't be long before King Kong Liangzai would officially make his appearance.
Therefore, after initially confirming that the God Chosen selected by the Four Lackeys could increase his prestige points and harvest souls, Karl focused all his energy on teaching King Kong how to correctly and efficiently use the A02 Symbiote Suit for combat.
It's no exaggeration to say that after this week of high-intensity special training, coupled with the "live teaching clips" Karl directly projected into King Kong's brain using the mind stone, even if he encountered Zero Monster Ghidorah, Liangzai, who had transformed into Symbiote Kong, would have the power to fight!
It was precisely because of this that Karl hadn't paid too much attention to the growth of prestige points in the past few days.
He didn't expect it to give him such a big surprise now!
And most of it... well, nearly five million prestige points, was all collected by the Four Lackeys together in the past week.
However, the reason why the Four Lackeys achieved such impressive results, in addition to the powerful God Chosen they selected, was also inseparable from the promotion of The Daily Bugle.
Often, when facing the extreme suppression and containment from various forces, John Jameson would use the huge influence of The Daily Bugle to open up new avenues on the internet and various media platforms, thereby completely igniting the relevant incidents!
From this, it is not difficult to see that The Daily Bugle has gradually played a crucial... even irreplaceable important role in the dissemination and spread of information!
This undoubtedly proved once again how far-sighted Karl's previous layout was.
And after this week of testing, it not only proved that the followers of the Four Lackeys could also collect prestige points and harvest souls for Karl, but also helped him minimize the long period required to increase Dimension Strength.
And this also precisely verified the feasibility and importance of Karl's idea of using the Four Lackeys to create the "Warp Version of the Fun-Seeker Project."
Since the direction was determined, the next things became simple.
Karl only needed to formulate a complete KPI work plan and reward and punishment mechanism, and he could naturally be a hands-off boss, entrusting the sacred task of expanding the Warp to these four hardworking "business managers."
Then, he only needed to periodically conduct performance evaluations of the Four Lackeys' performance.
This way, Karl could save a lot of time to fully develop his forces and the Fun-Seeker Project in the real World.
Furthermore, in the future, whether it was the incidents created by the "Fun-Seekers" cultivated by Karl or the followers of the Four Lackeys, they could collect prestige points for Karl while also providing a large amount of extreme emotions for the Warp, nourishing the rapid growth of the Four Lackeys.
Ultimately, this would achieve a win-win-win situation where Karl, the Warp, and the Four Lackeys complement each other.
Of course, the biggest winner is always Karl!
Currently, with Karl's unremitting efforts, a perfect harvesting chain, encompassing the real World and the Warp, intertwined and closely integrated, has finally officially formed!
"System, can you distinguish the prestige points collected by the Four Lackeys by their symbolic colors and then summarize and calculate them separately?"
Karl thought for a moment and tentatively asked in his mind.
Since a corresponding KPI assessment was to be formulated, the accuracy of the data had to be guaranteed for it to be more convincing.
Although Karl could determine which event caused the increase in prestige points based on the time and frequency of different prestige points growth sequences, this would undoubtedly involve a lot of energy and would be counterproductive.
It would be better to see if the system, which had little sense of presence, could directly help him solve this problem.
Although the system did not directly reply, Karl found that the two lines of prestige points on the light screen, which were growing strongly, had quietly transformed into the symbolic colors of Tzeentch and Slaanesh.
And when he focused his attention on Tzeentch's line of blue numbers, a subtotal automatically popped up behind it: Current Total: 3,099,999.
Σ(⊙▽⊙"a Tzeentch is stable this time!
Not only that, Karl later tried and found that even the number of plundered souls was also distinguished.
Nice!!!
Karl's face involuntarily showed a satisfied expression.
Then he checked the exchange ratio of Dimension Scale.
Roughly: 1 Prestige = 1 cubic decimeter = 0.001 cubic meter.
Then, after conversion, the more than five million prestige points Karl currently possessed could be exchanged for nearly five thousand cubic meters.
If we take a house with a floor height of 3 meters as an example, it would be equivalent to more than 1700 square meters after conversion.
It's almost the size of a detached luxury Villa!
Although this conversion ratio was somewhat of a scam, after the "Warp Version of the Fun-Seeker Project" officially began, collecting prestige points would become as easy as pie for Karl.
He naturally wouldn't dwell on this small problem.
Soon, it was midnight.
Karl got up and walked out of the hydrotherapy tank, showered briefly, and changed into comfortable clothes.
Then he first instructed the two Thunder Warriors guarding the door that no one was allowed to disturb him without his command.
Then he directly "out-of-body" and re-entered the Warp as a "visitor."
"Boss is here!"
The Four Lackeys, who were originally arguing about something, immediately quieted down obediently when they saw Karl's consciousness appear.
Even the Emperor transformed back into human form from his "Sun state."
"In the past week, you four have done very well... Next, I will reward you according to our previous agreement."
Karl didn't waste any words and directly announced the total prestige points obtained by each of the Four Lackeys according to the summary provided by the system.
Among them:
Khorne, relying on the excellent performance of "Spider-Woman" Gwen Stacy on the Williamsburg Bridge and the subsequent publicity by The Daily Bugle, successfully earned 328,000 prestige points (decimals are not displayed in detail here, and the same applies below).
Nurgle, relying on the slight influence caused by "traitor" Albert Wesker after killing Umbrella founder Ozwell E. Spencer, finally successfully earned 57,000 prestige points.
(The airport biochemical attack planned by his subordinate Frederick Downing in Haverhill City had not officially begun at this time, so it did not provide effective income.)
Slaanesh, relying on the large-scale casualty incident caused by "scientist" Emma Russell on Tesla Island and the subsequent widespread criticism by The Daily Bugle, successfully earned 1.366 million prestige points.
And Tzeentch, relying on the "stunning" performance of "actor" Trevor Slattery at the Salem Air Force Base and the heaven-defying operation of live-streaming the killing of a one-star brigadier general, frantically harvested 3.199 million prestige points.
He overwhelmingly defeated the other three with a large score, undoubtedly winning the "sales champion" of the first assessment!
Moreover, this was even after the U.S. high-level leadership tried their best to suppress the spread of relevant news.
Next, Karl uniformly calculated the commission based on 30% of the total prestige points each person received, consuming a total of 1,485,000 prestige points, and expanded their exclusive dimensional spaces for the Four Lackeys.
Khorne Space: 98.4 cubic meters
Nurgle Space: 17.1 cubic meters
Slaanesh Space: 409.8 cubic meters (taking a 3-meter floor height as an example, it is approximately a large flat with three bedrooms, one living room, one bathroom, and a usable area of 136.6 square meters)
Tzeentch Space: 959.7 cubic meters
After obtaining their respective exclusive spaces, Tzeentch and Slaanesh eagerly used psychic power to shield their exclusive spaces, apparently unwilling to reveal the internal design and layout.
Khorne, on the other hand, was more straightforward and directly turned his exclusive space into a ring.
As for Nurgle, understand the late-night canteen...
Next, Karl struck while the iron was hot and officially announced his "Warp Version of the Fun-Seeker Project" and the relevant content of the monthly KPI performance.
The Packages rewards are as follows:
1. Performance bonus composition = total prestige points income of the team commission ratio (10% ~ 25%) + total number of souls harvested by the team commission ratio (10% ~ 25%) - shared expenses (referring to necessary expenditures for increasing Dimension Strength, calculated as total prestige points income of the team * 30%)
Among them, the completion rate of the monthly performance target determines the level of the commission ratio.
In the early stage, in order to better motivate the "employees," Karl specially set the monthly performance assessment target at 100,000 prestige points.
Those who complete 100% of the performance target will have a commission ratio of 25%.
Those who complete 75% of the performance target will have a commission ratio of 20%.
Those who complete 50% of the performance target will have a commission ratio of 15%.
Those who complete 25% of the performance target will only enjoy the lowest basic salary, which is 10% of the total prestige points income of the team.
When the corresponding team's monthly income is less than 10% of the performance target, they will not enjoy any salary treatment for that month.
2. Incentive system:
In order to enliven the competitive atmosphere, improve work efficiency, and build core team competitiveness, four incentive schemes are specially set up:
1. Monthly performance champion: separately rewards 10% of the total number of souls harvested by the team that month.
2. Quarterly performance champion: separately rewards 30% of the total number of souls harvested by the team that quarter.
3. Annual performance champion: separately rewards 10% of the total number of souls harvested by all teams that year.
4. For teams that exceed the performance task in the current month, the excess portion will be calculated separately at a 25% commission ratio.
(Note: The above content will officially take effect from the 1st of next month.)
In a word: more work, more gain!
Karl's scrutinizing gaze swept across the faces of every chosen worker... no, across the faces of the four diligent, hardworking "Loki."
Every face showed an eager excitement.
Because for the Four Lackeys, expanding their exclusive spaces also indirectly increased the Dimension Scale of the Warp.
This would inevitably greatly increase the speed at which they could collect extreme emotions.
This is like upgrading from a "2G card" to a "3G card," where the data flows faster.
Very good, it seems it's time to increase the difficulty for the villains in this World!
"The future development of the Warp will depend entirely on your efforts."
"Alright, if there's nothing else, then I'll..."
Just as Karl was about to leave the Warp and return to the real World, Slaanesh suddenly leaned in and wrapped an arm around him, her two unfathomable infant canteens completely engulfing his arm, and said in a sweet, soft voice:
"Boss, we have a new discovery, I'm sure you'll be interested~"
Karl didn't speak, but instead stared coldly at Slaanesh.
If she tried to pull any tricks, Karl would definitely erase her on the spot!
Slaanesh trembled at the sight, quickly lowered her head, and retreated obediently.
However, she was already soaring with happiness in her heart.
(＾＾●) Yeah, I successfully hugged his arm.
I really love this feeling of almost being killed by Boss on the spot, it's super exciting~~
Karl frowned and asked, "What have you found?"
