Gunfire, Punk and Necromancer

"Sister Lucy, are you afraid that I will get this money and spend it all as soon as I go out?"

Lucy picked up the cigarette case from the table in front of her, took out one and weighed it between her fingers, then nodded and said, "Yes."

"You don't need to worry about this, the money actually has a new owner." Zhuang Xuteng said: "I haven't paid the rent for the second half of the year, and there is still a gap of about 800 euros; my sister needs 1,250 euros for tuition; the food downstairs I still owe about 400 euros from the store, second-hand clothes shop and drug store. You see, I have already lost 2,500 euros before I left living expenses for my sister. "

"It's 2,450 euros, if it's more accurate." Lucy said.

"She will have an internship soon, and I hope she can bring more money with her. One thousand euros should be enough. For the rest of the money, I want to take her to have a good meal and put it in the piggy bank at home. "

Lucy nodded again and lit her cigarette. After taking a slow breath, she said: "It's good that you have such a plan, but it can be better. Well... before I give you suggestions, I want to ask you first: Do you want to quit?"

"Quit? Sister Lucy, what does this mean?"

"Every mercenary who registers with me, after they complete their first commissioned task, I will ask if they want to quit." Lucy said: "There are many dangers in this line of work, and life and death matters are very common. , every mission is like a gamble, smart people know when to call it quits."

Ge Gongdao licked his lips and smiled, and said: "Lucy, it's too disappointing for you to say this! Naike is very suitable for this job!"

"He may also be suitable for other things. You are waiting for your big move, you want to regain your strength and reach the top, but he joined the mercenary business just to get money, pay off the debt, and solve the problem. The immediate trouble." Lucy lightly kicked Ge Gongdao's calf, then looked at Zhuang Xuteng and said, "You are lucky to have solved the problem with only one commission. This is a good opportunity to quit. You should think about it carefully. think."

Zhuang Xuteng took a deep breath, closed his eyes and thought carefully. The working scenes on the assembly line of the Magic Crystal Factory, the shock of being collectively dismissed, the chaos and helplessness on the night of 623, the excitement and strong heart pulsation when performing tasks...

"I won't quit. I like being a mercenary."

Ge Gongdao smiled, with an expression of "I knew it would be like this". And Lucy... Lucy was wearing a mask, and no one knew what her expression was at the moment. Maybe she will be a little disappointed, but as a middleman, she needs mercenaries to complete the commission, so she won't really be overjoyed because the mercenaries left the industry, right?

"Sister Lucy, are there many mercenaries who choose to leave at this time?" Zhuang Xuteng asked.

"There are only a few, and they were basically injured in the first commission. Some of the wounds were physical, some were mental - they were frightened. People like that are not suitable for this industry, even if they are retained It's impossible to get ahead next time." Lucy waved her hand, and the cigarette went back and forth in the smoke, and the flame of the cigarette butt left a short bright trail like a shooting star.

"Are you ready to listen to my advice now?"

Zhuang Xuteng nodded.

"The debt you owe now is 2,450 euros. You should pay back all the money, so that you have no worries. Since you want to continue doing this business, you have to plan carefully for the remaining 1,550 euros."

Lucy pointed at Zhuang Xuteng and said, "Even if I don't say it, Brother Dao will say: You have to equip yourself. The best equipment is technology. You can't always leave the specialty column empty, right? At the same time, With the same risk, if you have the skills, you can earn more entrustment fees and be better able to cope with emergencies. Don’t you think so?"

Zhuang Xuteng nodded seriously. Sister Lucy's words were indeed on point.

"Generally, I would recommend that pure newcomers go to a boxing club to stay for a while and learn the skills of close combat. In a familiar club, the fee is about 500 euros - but this is not suitable for you. You are different from Brother Dao. Dare to work hard and are willing to work hard, but you still care about your family. Even if you can make a lot of money from a commission that is too dangerous, you won't be very good at accepting it."

Zhuang Xuteng thought for a while and said: "I really don't like too dangerous commissions, but I don't want to see Brother Dao face danger alone. If I are there to help him, the two of us can work together to reduce the risk. Some."

"Brother Dao, the person you found is good. I suggest you let him really train."

Ge Gongdao patted his thigh, smiled happily, and said, "How can my taste be so bad?"

"You only got it right a few times. You don't have a good sense." Lucy turned to Zhuang Xuteng and said, "Naike, I suggest you join PCPD's cram school."

Fortunately, I didn't drink water, otherwise I would probably spit it out in one gulp. Zhuang Xuteng opened his mouth wide and his eyes were dull for a moment. He could hardly believe his ears. Although I have heard rumors that mercenaries often work for the PCPD, for a mercenary to join the PCPD, this is beyond his imagination!

"Indeed, this is a good idea." Ge Gongdao helped, saying: "PCPD often recruits people, and its income is somewhat attractive. Participating in cram schools can increase the possibility of being admitted."

"Isn't there a police academy?" Zhuang Xuteng asked.

"The police academy requires a four-year course and a lot of content. Graduates can directly enter the PCPD. However, the number of these students is not enough to keep up with the number of PCPD deaths, so there must be additional supplements." Lucy said: "So They set a standard and directly recruit new people who meet the requirements, so there are special rapid training courses. You can learn to drive, use electric batons, how to ask for instructions and report to superiors, and you will also learn how to find suitable candidates. Bunkers, and intimidating passers-by.”

Zhuang Xuteng sighed and said, "These are indeed the things PCPD is most skilled at."

"I know a cram school teacher, and the tuition is nine hundred euros. If you add another hundred euros, he can teach you how to shoot. You can try it, at least get a feel for it. Of course, his gun is not Monty Python 3 Such a good thing..."

"They won't be good standard guns," Ge Gongdao said. "In other words, those guns will bite people."

Lucy nodded and said: "The expedited course only lasts five days. He will tell you everything you need to learn and let you experience it, but whether you learn it or not. You go there and remember everything as much as possible. Then practice on your own. A five-day course will cost you a thousand euros, which is not cheap, but good for a novice mercenary."

"Indeed, Lucy is right. You learn the basics first, and I can teach you how to fight! You can also practice shooting with my gun."

"The Python 3 is not suitable for novices to practice firearms." Lucy's tone was very sure. It seemed that she also knew a lot about firearms. "Nike, what do you think, do you want to study?"

"Sister Lucy, are there any other similar learning opportunities?"

"PCPD's fire department also has similar opportunities. The time is longer and the teaching is more careful, but it is more physical, which is of little use to mercenaries - and of course it is much cheaper. If you want to learn other things, such as disguise If you want to become a superior person, or if you want to strengthen your driving skills, I can also find a teacher for you through entrustment. But overall, PCPD courses are the best."

Zhuang Xuteng shook his head and asked, "Are there any opportunities to learn about film and television?"

"Since you ask that, then what you want is definitely not how to use the Shadow Servant, but what you want is to become a black mage?"

"What is a black mage?" Zhuang Xuteng asked.

"This is a commonly used name for us. If we are in the company, it is the extraordinary shadow-binding carrier physique, also called an extraordinary person. The four top companies have their own ways of classifying extraordinary people, and the names may be slightly different, but it does not affect They understand the transcendent."

"Some people are born with very good physiques and are better able to carry shadow followers and exert their power than others; some people need acquired training to gradually improve these abilities. No matter how this ability is trained, it has six aspects of testing standards: The three bright sides are carrying capacity, adaptability, and capability strength; the three dark sides are development potential, compatibility speed, and usage experience.”

Zhuang Xuteng pricked up his ears, listened carefully, and memorized it carefully.

"Ordinary people are not exposed to this knowledge, but as long as they deal with the company more, they can still know some terms." Lucy said: "Some gangs who work on shadow slaves in private also follow the company's standards, and they pay more attention to the compatibility speed. and the carrying quantity so that the shadow slaves can be processed faster and sold on the black market. This kind of person is called a chef."

"In fact, there are some special titles in the company to distinguish the types of black mages - extraordinary people, and also classify them into levels. Many types will have restraint effects, but in the end, the winner or loser still depends on the person, so don't believe in the levels. .Companies like to grade and price everything, and measure everything in money, they..."

"Ahem!" Ge Gongdao interrupted Lucy and said, "We are talking about the study class now. Is there any chance to learn the black mage?"

"Are you kidding? You are not a newbie, don't you understand the situation? There is no such class! No matter the company, PCPD or the city government, they will not teach people to become black mage. Under normal circumstances, you have to go to the company to take a physical test. Only when you meet certain standards and are willing to sell yourself can you be trained by the company. Naike, you'd better give up."

Zhuang Xuteng's face clearly showed disappointment.

"Indeed, the normal way is useless, but what about the abnormal way?" Ge Gongdao patted Zhuang Xuteng on the shoulder and said: "This black mage itself is not the name of the company. It can be called out, which means..."

"I know what you want to say!" Lucy was obviously a little angry. She put the half-smoked cigarette in the ashtray and crushed it with the strength to resolve a deep grudge. "There are indeed abnormal ways to learn black mage knowledge, but compared to PCPD courses, which one do you think is more important to Nike?"

"He likes it, that's the most important thing." Ge Gongdao explained with a smile: "If he doesn't have a partner and can only accept the commission alone, then he must go to PCPD's cram school, no need to say! But now he wants to learn filmmaking From knowledge, I suffer from no way out. I am his partner, and we will act together to protect each other. If I know you can solve this problem but don't tell me, wouldn't it be unfair? "

"You bastard!" Lucy took a deep breath and finally said: "There is indeed a way to learn, but there are risks."
