Ultimate Firepower

Chapter 54: Garbage Mission
He found an expert who he didn't know if he was very good or not, but who very much met Gao Yi's needs. If a top student from the California Institute of Technology also wanted to use equipment to make up for his technical deficiencies, then his solution would definitely be more effective than that of a newbie like Gao Yi.

The email was not replied and it still showed as unread the next day. Gao Yi couldn't wait any longer, so he handed the matter over to Sean to solve.

Sean was also very helpful. It only took him a few minutes to find the studio's phone number, and then he made a call.

After a few brief questions, Sean said to Gao Yi, "Li Jie went to Argentina, but he got on the wrong plane on his way back and landed in Ecuador."

Looking at Gao Yi's question mark face, Sean shrugged and said, "Yes, that's what his colleagues said."

Gao Yi said in confusion, "Gordon Feldman said that Li Jie was a top student in the Department of Mechanical Engineering or something?"

“Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics.”

"The Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics at Caltech?"

In the United States and around the world, the only science and engineering university besides MIT is California Institute of Technology.

But in the field of aerospace, if California Institute of Technology says it is second, no one dares to say they are first.

According to Gordon's description, Li Jie belongs to the category of other people's children.

In short, he is both smart and capable, the kind that is so capable that poor students like Gao Yi can only look up to him and cannot think of anything else.

Gao Yi, who only knows how to fight and kick, is at best a martial artist. People like him are true geniuses and have real abilities. They are the kind of pillars of the country.

But how could such a genius get on the wrong plane? He was going to the United States, but ended up in Ecuador?
Sean understood Gao Yi's confusion, because he was as confused as Gao Yi when he heard the news. But after all, he had lived for a few more decades and met all kinds of people, so he became more immune to this kind of thing.

"This is normal, right? Those extremely smart geniuses may have a messed up life. This happens a lot."

Gao Yi blinked and said, "Then he..."

Sean said helplessly, "It's been two days. He's not out of contact, but he hasn't come back. His colleagues said he might be going to Ecuador to visit a friend named Foresta. Well, that's it now. No one knows when he will come back."

If Gao Yi insisted on meeting Li Jie before leaving, then he would have to wait for Li Jie to come back, so Sean was still a little worried, afraid that time would be delayed too long, but he knew Gao Yi's concern and it was difficult to tell him not to wait.

Gao Yi understood Sean's urgency.

"Forget it, let's not look for him anymore. Let's take a look at the mission first."

Gao Yi's understanding made Sean secretly relieved.

There are less than three months left, and according to the orthodox killer style, these three months may not be enough time to prepare.

At least you should set a goal first, and then you can make targeted preparations.

"Then let's pick a target?"

Sean's tone seemed to be asking for Gao Yi's opinion, but he had already taken out his cell phone and moved closer to Gao Yi.

Gao Yi also took out his cell phone.

Now Gao Yi has escaped from the quagmire of Class F and entered Class E, which is also at the bottom but the situation is much better.

It's so difficult for newcomers. Most of them only have one idea, which is to work hard to make money, but only a few of them can succeed.

It's just that they have access to the dark web. Really capable newcomers, such as Gao Yi, and newcomers with organization, will only stay at F level for a while, and they can reach E level immediately after completing a task.

The newcomers who have remained in the F level are not even consumables, and are not worthy of becoming the foundation and basis of the pyramid.

The shuttle type is the common organizational structure of all illegal organizations in the underground world, so the structure of the dark web is not pyramid-shaped at all, but shuttle-shaped, with very few people at both ends.

Now that Gao Yi has reached level E, it means that he can receive public tasks at levels CDE.

However, if Huayuan wants to maintain its status as an A-level killer organization, it must take on an A-level mission, and Gao Yi can't even see an A-level mission.

If you put the two together and compare them, you will know the difference just from the amount of the bounty.

A-level tasks start at 10 million.

The most annoying thing is that there are so many A-level tasks, at least more than twenty from top to bottom.

"There are so many A-level public tasks?" Gao Yi was a little surprised. He thought there would be very few A-level tasks, but he didn't expect that the high-level tasks would be many times more than the low-level tasks.

Sean whispered, "These are the missions that have been unable to be completed for many years and are forced to be turned into public missions. Some of these public missions have existed for two or three years, while some have existed for eight years."

Gao Yi asked cautiously: "So what level is Gray Horace's mission?"

"B."

"Oh?"

Xiao En suddenly said with some impatience: "Don't make those oh-oh-oh sounds. I hate it most when people keep making those oh-oh-oh-oh sounds. Don't learn this habit from me."

"Oh well."

Sean said helplessly: "A-level missions are the highest level, which means that missions with high difficulty and high bounties will be classified as A-level missions. However, as a top assassin organization, it is a failure to select from public missions."

Gao Yi asked curiously: "How do you say that?"

"A truly successful assassin organization doesn't need to do public missions. In other words, when a client wants to kill a certain target, the most common way is to find a powerful assassin organization and contact them one-on-one."

Gao Yi understood, and he nodded and said, "That is to say, if I want to kill someone, I will contact Huayuan directly, but if you take on this task and fail to complete it, or if you take too long to complete it, I will find someone else, or simply throw the task into the public task, is that what you mean?"

Sean's face didn't look good, but he nodded gently and said, "Yes."

Gao Yi sighed and said, "That means no one is looking for the garden now. If you want to complete an A-level task to keep your ranking, you can only choose from the difficult public tasks?"

The heartbreaking reality made Sean helpless. He spread his hands and whispered, "That's what I mean, but there are also advantages to making tasks public. That is, the influence is large enough. Completing a task can quickly increase your popularity."

"Aren't there A-level public missions that are easy to carry but offer high rewards?"

"Yes, sometimes there are, but as soon as they come out, they are immediately snatched up."

"What do you mean by robbed? Not everyone can do a public mission, but whoever completes it first gets the money?"

"Robbed means someone killed the target quickly without giving others a chance."

I understand. There is not much difference between A-level tasks and low-level tasks. They are just more difficult and have higher rewards.

Gao Yi put away his phone and said, "Okay, let's see what tasks are available."

Xiao En handed his phone to Gao Yi and said, "Look for yourself."

Click on the first mission, the bounty is 500 million US dollars, and the target is a big shot who cannot be mentioned.

Gao Yi immediately stepped out and said in shock: "Can such a person be listed on the dark web and offered a bounty?"

Sean shrugged and said, "So the KGB is very angry and regards the crackdown on the dark web as one of its main achievements."

Gao Yi clicked his tongue and opened the second task. After taking a look at it, he said helplessly, "Do you think this task is meaningful?"

Sean made a downward gesture with his hand and said, "Look down. It's a waste of time to read the first ten tasks. I just want you to have a general understanding of the A-level tasks. You can read from the bottom up."

Scrolling to the bottom, Gao Yi looked at a task. Although it was also an A-level task, it looked much more normal this time.

"The bounty is 10 million US dollars, with no time limit. The target is Kratoev. Is he a Russian?"

Sean nodded and said, "Yes, the Russian oligarch fled to England, but forget about him. You can look up."

“Why not just let this go?”

Sean said helplessly: "Too hard to kill, too hard on the hands, typical of little money and a lot of work, very dangerous, rubbish missions, uh, the disadvantage of choosing from the bottom up is that there are more rubbish missions like this."

Gao Yi returned the phone to Sean and said, "Why don't you choose? You must have thought it through. Don't waste your time."

Sean smiled and said, "A-level has the most accumulated tasks. I want you to learn about it first. Then I recommend it. If you think it's not suitable, we can change it."

Gao Yi waved his hand and whispered, "Look for a more realistic mission. It doesn't matter if the pay is high or low. The important thing is that I don't die."
