Chapter 66: Leon Value
Chapter 66: Leon Value
"..."
You choose what?! I've been trying to convince you for so long, and this is the result?!
As the red-haired Bureau Chief's eyebrows slowly rose, and he found himself glaring at Lyon, who quickly spoke up, "Chief, please don't be hasty. I have my reasons for this choice."
You better!
After shooting Lyon another glare, the Bureau Chief huffed, "Explain! If your reasoning isn't sound, we'll go with my suggestion, and you're marked absent for today!"
"Er..."
Seeing that the Chief was clearly irritated and had already started his retaliation, Lyon didn't speak immediately. Instead, he gathered his thoughts and asked, "May I ask, if I choose the first option, how long would it take to reach the level you mentioned?"
"It's hard to say."
The red-haired Bureau Chief furrowed his brows, "The more and stronger anomalies a person possesses, the greater the influence on their body, and the faster they transform into a 'non-human'. Each cleaner's situation is different in this regard."
"Then let me rephrase."
Lyon paused to think, then lifted the broom in his hand, "If we disregard practicality and only consider the speed of transformation and the number of anomalies required, approximately how many anomalies of this level would I need to reach that level?"
Measure it with a witch's broom...
After hearing Lyon's question, the red-haired Bureau Chief found himself contemplating an issue he had never considered before.
While the ability to fly is extremely valuable for both survival and reconnaissance, the strength of a witch's broom itself is not particularly high.
And although the toad's power had significantly diminished, it was a Holy Spirit imbued with divinity. It had even grasped concepts and rules through faith. So, if we calculate it this way...
"About sixty to seventy. To reach the maximum potential, it might require close to ninety."
After stating the required number of anomalies, the Bureau Chief realized it sounded excessive, so he added with a furrowed brow, "But you can't just use the witch's broom as a reference. Its advantages are stability, control, and low consumption. Its strength lies in providing flight, not in its transformation speed. Most anomalies transform much faster, typically more than double the speed of a witch's broom."
"Okay, I understand."
Almost twice as fast? I recall the imbuement value of a witch's broom is exactly 0.5.
After listening to the Bureau Chief, Lyon quickly estimated the strength of the new anomaly in his mind and tentatively asked, "Then let's assume a hypothetical value to describe the transformation speed and the power needed to reach the limit. Let's set the value of 'most' anomalies to 1 and the witch's broom to 0.5.
According to what you said earlier, if it takes ninety witch's brooms to reach the upper limit, then the maximum strength of the first option would be around 45. Is my calculation correct?"
Hmm?
The red-haired Bureau Chief was surprised by Lyon's suggestion and glanced at him curiously.
The effects of anomalies varied greatly and were influenced by the user's abilities, making it nearly impossible to quantify their strength. As such, determining an appropriate standard was challenging, and one could only estimate the approximate strength based on the feeling after using them.
However, if one were to abandon calculating the effects and solely focus on the transformation speed and the power required to reach the upper limit... it might just work.
"This calculation method should be feasible."
After considering this approach, the Bureau Chief couldn't find any significant flaws. He smiled approvingly at Lyon and said, "Your calculation method is valuable. Remember to organize it and submit it to me. I'll forward it to the Bureau. If they adopt it, you might even get a promotion. At the very least, you'll receive a substantial bonus."
"Huh? Alright, I'll go then..."
"Stop right there!"
Seeing Leon attempting to slip away, the Red-Haired Bureau Chief, who had just smiled, frowned and extended a finger, hooking the hair on Leon's neck and pulling him back.
"The reward is the reward, but you haven't finished explaining your reckless choices! These are two separate matters!"
"..."
"What are you staring at?"
After giving Leon a glare, the Red-Haired Bureau Chief scowled and said, "If we go by your method, the first type of Leon Value is forty-five, the second type could reach forty-three or forty-four, and the third type is the weakest. Even if you manage to survive for forty-one or forty-two years, it's still annoying that you'd choose the lower value! Quickly, give me your reasoning!"
Shouldn't this be called Immersion Value? Even the name Leon Value sounds too awkward...
Watching the Red-Haired Bureau Chief's mood shift so quickly, Leon could only sigh and explain helplessly:
"I feel that although the first choice has the highest upper limit, it's too 'endgame'. According to Senior Emma, on average, it takes three tasks to obtain one Anomaly. Moreover, each task can last from one to three months.
So, if I want to accumulate 45 points... Leon Value, with bad luck, it could take two or three decades, and I'd have to pray to survive those decades. What if I encounter an unexpected incident like the Toad during that time? Do you think that's possible?"
"..."
"Also, the premise of being able to buy something is that others are willing to sell. So, even if I survive those two or three decades and complete a couple of hundred tasks without dying, many things are still impossible to obtain.
Even if I could go through the Cleanup Bureau and buy weapons or even hire an army from the Kingdom's military, but forget about encountering the Holy Spirit. Just encountering another Red Brick Road Hospital, no matter how many troops I bring, they'd still be cannon fodder.
Even if I set up twenty cannons in the Capital City and blow up the entire building, how would you explain that to the Kingdom?"
"..."
"Moreover, aside from the direct power, the first choice has other issues."
After glancing at the Red-Haired Bureau Chief, who had fallen into deep thought, Leon spoke up:
"Do you understand economic knowledge? A large-scale 'over-issuance' of unplanned currency will definitely cause depreciation. Won't that affect the lives of ordinary people?
Not to mention, if someone as strong as me were to take control, the Scale Gold Sect might not be able to take it back. But if a newbie like me were to take control, wouldn't the True God of the Scale Gold Sect remember me?
Also, when the number of transactions increases, and my abilities are exposed and I'm targeted, do I have the strength to protect myself? Do I need to pay to have Senior Emma protect me 24/7?"
"Alright, alright, I get it! You do have a point!"
The Red-Haired Bureau Chief, feeling a headache, waved her hands and rubbed her temples, grumbling, "In the end, it's because you're too inexperienced! If you were a Bureau Chief of a division, would you have so many issues?"
