Gunfire, Punk and Necromancer

Regarding learning shadow knowledge, Lucy's method is to work with the gang's "chef".

Don't hang out with gangs, that's something every mercenary knows. There is a joke like this: Two mercenaries, a man and a woman, live together. They can be very harmonious no matter in bed or out of bed, as long as it does not involve divorce and property division. Even if a mercenary and a gang member live together, they will not be harmed. One will die quickly, because the mercenary is loyal to money and the other is loyal to others, which is no way to live.

How can we force ourselves together if we have different interests?

In fact, there are many deep-seated reasons why mercenaries and gangs can't get along, such as the obstruction of PCPD, risk diversification and investment, and the ancient game between Qianglong and local snakes. But as long as both parties still live in the same world, they will inevitably meet and have various conflicts and relationships.

Lucy lowered her voice and said: "I know a chef who wants to build his own kitchen..."

Ge Gongdao translated simultaneously: "There is a chef who owes Lucy a favor. He wants to break away from the gang..."

"Don't interrupt! Are you a nagging old man?!" Lucy flew up and kicked Ge Gongdao's calf accurately. Fortunately, she was wearing slippers at home. If she had been wearing the silver pointed boots at the door, Gogongdao would have been bleeding profusely.

For gangs, a chef is a way to make money. They can install smuggled, stolen, robbed, and recycled shadow materials on shadow machines to make them usable products. From large items such as TVs, refrigerators, and air conditioners to a battery car or a radio, there has been no shortage of sales for this kind of product.

If industries that can be placed in the sun, such as the production of daily necessities, are very profitable, then the profits of illegal industries in the dark must be even greater. If we look at the preferences of gangs, Shadow Cong firearms must be the most valued. The demand for shadow guns is like a black hole in the universe, its appetite can never be filled, and as the gang grows in size, the demand will always become greater.

However, the shadow slave gun is the most difficult to make among all the shadow slave weapons for single use, so good chefs are precious.

"There were some conflicts between this chef and his gang, and the whereabouts of the chef were discovered by the PCPD. In that arrest operation, the PCPD got the result they wanted. The chef escaped and therefore owed me a favor. He originally owed me a favor. He should leave the gang and create value for me, but his conflict with the gang suddenly disappeared."

Ge Gongdao snorted and said, "It seems that this person is capricious and unreliable. Your investment failed."

"This kind of thing is inevitable. He had conflicts with the gang, and he had a strong desire to leave the gang. It happened to be such a good opportunity. I took care of the relationship with the PCPD and arranged the mercenaries. The plan was implemented smoothly. . In the end, the chef actually forgave the gang and reconciled! What had he been doing?"

Lucy was obviously very concerned about this matter. She said to Zhuang Xuteng: "The chef has been clamoring to return my favor. Can this kind of thing be brought up? I originally wanted to end this matter and get rid of it. line, so I can indeed arrange for you to learn from him. I can say that I want my own chef, and as long as he teaches us, we will be clear. Naike, what do you think? "

"My thoughts? I..."

Before Zhuang Xuteng finished speaking, Ge Gongdao patted his thigh and said first, "This is indeed a good opportunity. It is always okay to follow the chef and learn entry-level knowledge. But although the opportunity is good, the work is not easy to do. This time You can’t let him pay, can you?”

"Uh..." Zhuang Xuteng scratched his head. What does "the work is not easy to do" mean, and what does "not letting him pay" mean?

"Brother Dao, Brother Dao, you old wolf is really my nemesis! Even a middleman like me needs profits to maintain a network of relationships!" From the sound of her voice, Lucy seemed to be very angry, but she did not take a flying kick, indicating that she was angry. Not too much. "Nike, your task is to learn from the chef, and then judge based on the situation to end this line. You can't let the gang or PCPD follow the line to cause trouble for me."

Zhuang Xuteng thought of a possibility, and the shock in his heart made his entire face freeze immediately. Only his eyelids blinked up and down, indicating that his mind was still functioning.

"Since Brother Dao is here, I won't beat around the bush. What I mean is: kill him!" Lucy paused for a moment, giving Zhuang Xuteng time to digest, and then continued: "Because he is a chef, the gang will take it seriously. So you have to find a way to make everything look like an accident, and you can't let the gang cause trouble for you. I won't wipe your ass for you."

Do you want me to kill someone?

In order to be able to pay the rent and allow his sister to continue studying, and to prevent himself from starving to death and living on the streets, Zhuang Xuteng became a mercenary; now he is expected to become a murderer?

He looked down at his palms and imagined holding someone else's blood in them. The blood will gradually become cold, the vitality will disappear, and all the fresh life in this world will be annihilated by darkness. It was difficult to accept the disappearance of this horror for him to complete.

Yes, being sneaky is one thing, being ferocious can be adapted to it, but killing is a completely different level. This determination is not easy to make. It is definitely not as simple as bragging and talking casually.

If someone threatens me or bullies my family, if there is no other way to solve the problem, then I will definitely take action and I will try my best to kill him. Now it is for money, for opportunities, and to be able to learn the knowledge of shadow followers. Are these things enough to be the reasons and driving forces for killing?

Zhuang Xuteng didn't know. He was horrified to find that his attitude was actually "I don't know" instead of a decisive answer of "shouldn't and it's not enough."

Have I changed, or is that just who I am?

"How about it, have you decided?" Lucy crossed her legs and asked slowly.

"I haven't decided yet. I really want to learn about Shadow Clan, but I haven't thought about killing people yet. Does he have any bad deeds?"

"Do you think of me as your mother?" Lucy's tone became a little cold.

"What do you mean?" Zhuang Xuteng didn't understand why there was such a change.

"I am not responsible for giving you spiritual comfort and moral guidance; I will not coax you to do this or that; if you fall, I will not squat down and pat the soil, and lie to you whether it hurts or not; I’m not your buffer, or a set of sponge mattresses, or a fucking glass of sleeping pills laced with painkillers!”

Lucy's rapid-fire words shattered Zhuang Xuteng's fantasy. She finally said: "This is a commission. You can only choose to accept it or not."

"I..." Zhuang Xuteng opened his mouth slightly, but he was still not sure what to do. At this time, he looked at Ge Gongdao, hoping that Brother Dao would give him an idea.

"Lucy, newcomers have to go through a process when facing this problem, but you can't be scheming!" Ge Gongdao said with a smile: "You just need to cut off the clues and prevent the chef from having anything to do with you anymore. Yes. You just encountered a big mouth. You can plug his mouth or cut his throat, right?"

Lucy snorted and said, "Only dead people can truly reassure people."

"That's true, but the money given is different between killing people and not killing people." Ge Gongdao said, "Do you think it will work? Let Zhuang Xuteng try it. If he can shut that guy's big mouth, , can be considered a success. If you have to kill people to be satisfied, then you have to add additional money. You can set up two levels of bounty according to different requirements!"

Lucy thought for a while, nodded, and said: "Then the mission will be like this: let him teach you the knowledge of black mage on the basis of asking him to repay the favor. You have to get close to him and make sure that big mouth never mentions me and his again. Past relationships.”

"Okay!" Zhuang Xuteng agreed quickly.

"I haven't finished talking yet, why are you so anxious!" Lucy said: "Although it is part of the commissioned task for you to study with him, and the expenses incurred will be borne by the initiator of the commission, that is, me, but I want you to stay. Put down a deposit. How much money do you have now? Yes, 1,550 euros! Keep it all in case you just go to learn knowledge and fail to complete the task."

Zhuang Xuteng looked at Brother Dao, who curled his lips and said, "To be honest, this deposit is quite reasonable. Without this commission, there would be no chance to learn from the black mage. Lucy, do you have any other requirements?"

"You have to have real evidence and promise me that the chef won't be a loudmouth again. Personally, I still think it's safer to kill him, so I'll add money when I see the dead body. Well... considering that he's a gangster chef , equivalent to a little time (one platinum coin/500 euros). If the gang has problems, that’s your business.”

Although it was lower than the market price, Zhuang Xuteng was a newbie and could not get the full price in the first place, so it was still fair. Ge Gongdao did not help anymore, and now Zhuang Xuteng had to make his own decision.

Zhuang Xuteng nodded slowly and said: "Okay, I agree. There is only a small request: Can you deposit 50 euros less? I basically have no money."

"1550, not even a steel penny will be discounted!" Lucy said: "The money you spent on the last mission and the loot you sold, that is, the money you claimed to use to pay off debts, I will give it to you right now! Get out of here as soon as you get it ! I want to contact Big Mouth. Come here at 10 a.m. in three days, and I will tell you more specific circumstances."

"Oh... ok." Zhuang Xuteng stood obediently, waiting for Lucy to take money from the safe and give it to him.

With large-denomination banknotes, the huge sum of 2,450 euros is just a few thin pieces of paper, and it does not feel secure in the hand. In addition, the money will soon be used to pay off debts, which makes Zhuang Xuteng want more.

He licked his dry lips, grabbed the money, and put it into the safest inner pocket.

Lucy waved her hand and gave the eviction order: "Okay, take the money and don't hang around here! Brother Dao and I still have something to say, you can leave."

"Sister Lucy, you said before that two tubes of instant glue can be exchanged for an orange. I want to exchange your oranges, okay?"

"Okay! I'll change. Let's take some tangerines or oranges and go! You're very good at sorting fruits..."

Zhuang Xuteng picked up the tangerine, turned to Brother Dao and said, "Half for each person..."

"Here you go!" Brother Dao said with a smile, "Take it back, you can celebrate yourself."

"Thank you." Zhuang Xuteng put the orange in his pocket and hurried away.
