Gunfire, Punk and Necromancer

Although the PCPD's bounty gave people a disgusting feeling that it was not worthy of its name and that it was like swallowing flies for protein, Zhuang Xuteng still asked Morgana to help him find a white glove who was willing to help collect the bounty. Zhuang Xuteng must still focus on the tasks entrusted by Brother Dao and Sister Lucy. He has recently made it clear that he will have a conflict with the gang. With his current reputation level, there is a high probability that he will be responsible for assassinating key figures in the gang. In this case, the PCPD's bounty was earned in vain, which greatly alleviated Zhuang Xuteng's nausea.

"If people who work for gangs and launder black money are called white gloves, then those who launder PCPD bounties to killers should be called black gloves, right?" Zhuang Xuteng said to Morgana with a smile, but his smile It only existed on his face, and he didn't feel any humor in such things at all in his heart.

"White gloves don't mean that...but you can also think of the bounty provided by the PCPD as something that is not just enough, so white gloves are white gloves." Morgana tidied her clothes in the mirror. She had to go to work today. He was on duty and had to leave early in the morning. Even the breakfast prepared by Zhuang Xuteng could not be eaten at home and could only be taken to the car. "Wish me good luck today, and wish the lab results tomorrow."

"All the best! All the best!" Zhuang Xuteng passed by the living room naked in an apron, picked up the clothes scattered on the floor, and threw them into the washing machine. If these are not packed away before both of them leave the house, Meatbag will tear these clothes to pieces as if they were toys.

"Besides, time in the morning is precious, don't touch it in the future." Morgana took a bottle of antifreeze cream from the bathroom and applied it to her face to not only resist the cold wind outside, but also to cover up the rosy cheeks. "I'd rather have breakfast together at the table than roll around in bed."

"Okay! Next time we will be at the breakfast table." Zhuang Xuteng chuckled a few times, and then sent Morgana out of the room.

Proper rest and relaxation can help increase work enthusiasm. Zhuang Xuteng went to see Lucy that morning to see if there was any task that would allow him to move around. Now Lucy hopes to use Zhuang Xuteng as her trump card. She will not look for him for simple tasks that are not dangerous, such as running errands to pick up items or looking for lost items.

In fact, Zhuang Xuteng is better at running errands and finding things than sneaking around to kill people. You must know that the combination of the charged jump of the driving assistance suit implant and the levitating technique is equivalent to weakened flight, which makes his mobility far superior to that of his peers. The Wraith Jelly, coupled with the shadow that can penetrate into various gaps, and the bone-seeking technique that can search for the same or similar objects, he also has an advantage in finding lost objects that others cannot match.

Unless these types of tasks involve a large amount of money, intelligence officers will not be used. Therefore, based on the task share just negotiated, Zhuang Xuteng can get 70%. On the premise of not delaying the team's tasks, Zhuang Xuteng, Nightingale and Yanque each completed Lucy's small task, and the money they got was theirs. There was no need to share dividends with the other party or take a share of the team's money, they could all be put into their own money. fanny pack. Therefore, Zhuang Xuteng would not be jealous of the money the two sisters earned as auxiliary intelligence agents, nor would the two sisters envy the pocket money Zhuang Xuteng earned from running errands and finding things for others.

I took on a task in the morning and finished it in the afternoon. I could even have a "staff meal" in the music restaurant in the evening without delaying the intensive training at night. Zhuang Xuteng earned 7,000 euros in one day. He felt that the price-performance ratio was very good and he hoped that such tasks could be done every day.

But even if Lucy becomes the only middleman in Peicheng whose business is not affected, she cannot have such a job every day. At the same time, this kind of work without too much personal risk is more suitable for newcomers to practice, and it cannot be treated as an entertainment project for Zhuang Xuteng.

He wanted to deal with the gang more, but the Gonggong Road side needed to make a plan and there was no chance to act immediately. In order to prevent Zhuang Xuteng from stealing the "junior's" business again, Lucy gave him an investigation commission.

The middleman Lazio "The Rib Knife" has been in a bad mood recently. He made various twists and turns during the meeting, resulting in the failure to reach an agreement with Colonel Taaffe. Although he had never objected to buying back the identity information of the mercenaries from Colonel Taaffe, he did not give enough support in actual operations. Nowadays, a large number of mercenaries are unable to carry out business. As a group, middlemen always have to find someone to take the blame, and they also need to find a sum of money as compensation to compensate the "unemployed" mercenaries.

Lucy has been eyeing Lazio's money bag for more than a day or two. She has been planning for a long time, including not providing new identities to the mercenaries under Lazio's name. Now Lazio only has direct staff, his intelligence officer, and at most two "titled" mercenaries whose identities have not been announced, plus at most three or five new mercenaries who have just been recruited. They are at their weakest point. when.

Lazio also knows that it is weak now and has offended many people, so it has become particularly vigilant now. In the real world, he retreats to his base camp in the amusement park, lives in seclusion, and uses all his direct power to protect himself. But at the network level, he actively contacted middlemen and colleagues, used sweet words and attracted many parties, hoping to establish a better target than himself in order to divert hatred.

"Nike, the mercenaries have lost their identity protection. This matter will be resolved sooner or later. It depends on which pocket the middleman takes out the money to compensate. Fortunately, there is a moat company that can take over, so that the mercenaries will not immediately lose their source of income. , which can be regarded as delaying the process of the outbreak of conflicts." Lucy said to Zhuang Xuteng: "My personal idea is: it is best for all former mercenaries to use safe new identities, and the compensation from the middleman group falls into our pockets."

"I strongly agree." Zhuang Xuteng will definitely not object to making money. "But, Sister Lucy, when you ask me to monitor Lazio, are you preparing for a middleman war?"

"What is discovered is called intermediary warfare, and what is not discovered is called robbery." Lucy laughed twice, which was not hidden by her mask. "On the issue of compensation for mercenaries, the middlemen association has made slow progress and has not been able to reach a conclusion. I estimate that in the end, a few middlemen who still have strength will leave the association and go it alone, or at least ignore the association and do their own thing. In In this case, it is best for us to take the initiative and choose the target first."

Zhuang Xuteng understood clearly: In a middleman war, the winner receives all the assets, mercenaries and intelligence network of the loser. Robbery only requires money, so robbing is more cost-effective.

"Nike, you have to be especially careful about Lazio's intelligence officer during your investigation. His performance has always been very good and he has a good reputation in the industry. To put it simply, that intelligence officer's ability is no less than that of Meteor. Even Nightingale and Rock Even if we work together, we can't beat him." Lucy said: "Because of the existence of such an intelligence officer, I don't expect to find enough intelligence from the information network, and rely more on on-site visits."

Zhuang Xuteng nodded and asked, "Since you rely so much on spot investigation, why didn't you give me this task earlier?"

Lucy sighed and said: "After all, we are all middlemen, and I have never wanted to take the initiative against my colleagues... I see that you have been very enthusiastic about working these two days, and you already want to grab simple jobs, so I will give you Make it more difficult."

"You don't want to attack your colleagues? Why did you change your mind?"

"Because Ge Gongdao told me that the former mercenaries of Moat Company have begun to discuss the issue of compensation, and this matter will be put on the table soon. I am not rich, so I want to make some extra money. Of course, I also have a reason It is suspected that the mercenaries of Moat Security Company thought of joining forces to seek compensation after being reminded by a tall and strong man, and this is also one of the steps that the tall and strong man took to gain more power in the company."

"I have also asked for compensation due to unemployment. My advice is: do what you have agreed to do. The longer it takes, the easier it will be to cause big problems."

"It's not me who's holding back the solution now, but the intermediary association. I want to resolve it as soon as possible and start business normally as soon as possible, but I can only resolve my own part and can't pay for others. I would have given it to you earlier As I said, some middlemen should be eliminated from the industry." Lucy waved her hands and said: "Speaking of Lazio, his base camp is built in the Southern Star Playground. Just like my music restaurant, all the people there All the employees may be his direct staff. Be careful when you go there, and it’s best not to alert others.”

Peicheng is a weird place. The middlemen have more or less eccentricities, and through their eccentricities they have extended additional industries. Lucy was engaged in real estate, and Henry opened a gym and boxing club. This Lazio had a special liking for amusement facilities and opened an amusement park called "Star of the South" in the southern part of the hub area near the edge of the beltway.

When it was grandly opened, it caused quite a stir in Peicheng. At least the advertisements went to the outskirts of the city. Zhuang Xuteng also saw it when he was a child. Going to the Southern Star for a day of fun was his ultimate dream for a long time when he was a child. For this reason, he saved all the money he earned from doing odd jobs in the town, dreaming of having a great time.

When he was a child, he never saved enough money. When he grew up, became sensible and mature, and found it boring to use the money to go to the amusement park, it all became his sister's tuition and living expenses. Now that he is more mature, at least financially he no longer has to worry about not having enough money to go to the amusement park, but he has taken a job targeting the owner of the amusement park. In this job, you will first spy, then rob, and finally maybe kill! When Zhuang Xuteng thought of this change, he felt a little ironic and a little sad.

Being targeted by middlemen such as Lucy, unless Lazio is good at using all forces to its advantage and find a way out by maneuvering around, this playground is destined to close down. Thinking of this, Zhuang Xuteng felt that in addition to checking the situation of the amusement park, he should also seize the last chance to have fun in the amusement park, at least to fulfill his childhood dream.

Just...just go there!

Zhuang Xuteng neither changed his appearance nor was he sneaky. After he came out of the music restaurant, he drove the armored vehicle straight to the Southern Star Amusement Park. After arriving, he discovered that the parking lot that could originally accommodate more than a hundred cars now only had about a dozen cars parked alone, not to mention how deserted it was. But it’s right to think about it. It’s late winter now and spring is still some time away. There are indeed very few people coming here to play despite the cold wind.

When he came to the ticket office, the sign that read "Winter Special Price Reduction" was almost completely covered with snow. He wiped it with his hand, then pointed to the 50% off advertisement on the sign and bought a cheap ticket. The fat sister who sold the tickets ignored Zhuang Xuteng and continued to knit by the stove after issuing the tickets. When Zhuang Xuteng walked away a little, she quickly picked up the phone and called Lazio, saying that a suspicious and dangerous guy had just entered the playground.

She thought she was hiding it well, but she underestimated Zhuang Xuteng's enhanced hearing. Especially in the playground, there are not many people and there is little noise interference, so it is more useful to strengthen your hearing.

"Just report it, Lazio will either ignore me or come to me, and I will have a reason to get angry. Keep the ticket stubs, I can spend money to come in and spend money, not sneak in to peek. Uh, there are too few people here, It seems quite difficult to sneak in."

If there are fewer people, there will be fewer amusement projects that are still running, and most of them are indoor projects. The only equipment that operates outdoors is roller coasters, pirate ships, carousels, etc. that are more popular and relatively energy-saving. For example, a Ferris wheel that requires one person to go around all the hanging baskets is not very cost-effective, so that project was discontinued.

"It's a pity. Originally, the Ferris wheel was best used to observe the entire amusement park. Anyway, I didn't like to do that. It's not fun to do it slowly." Zhuang Xuteng shrugged, walked to the first open store at the door, and ordered a big one Pink marshmallows and a cup of hot chocolate.

The marshmallows were sweet and the hot chocolate was warm, but his implant reminded him that both were filled with cheap flavorings, the latter of which was quite high in fat. Zhuang Xuteng had no objection to this. The marshmallows and drinks outside tasted like this. There was no cutting corners or secretly adding safety blue stuff in the amusement park. It was completely acceptable.

"Sir, do you want to come and do archery? You can get prizes according to the ring skills?" Next to the food and beverage store is the archery shack, with an archery target in the middle and various stuffed toys on the walls and roof shelves on both sides.

"Are you sure?" Zhuang Xuteng was delighted and said, "Although it's not a good idea to not be open because there are so few people, you will definitely lose money if you ask me to shoot arrows."

"Even if you lose money, it's better than standing in the cold wind."

"Okay, then I'll start playing with you. I used to dream that I could get the grand prize here, which is a huge yellow duck. Then I would take it home and show off to others along the way."

"Yellow duck? Oh, that happened a long time ago. When we first opened, we bought a total of fifty yellow ducks. Since then, we haven't used those ducks anymore and can't buy them anymore." The clerk took Zhuang Xuteng two euros. Get him a bow and twenty arrows. The grand prize requires a total score of two hundred rings to get, and the highest on the archery target is ten rings, so at least twenty arrows are needed to get enough points.

However, the ten-ring space on the archery target is limited and is not enough to place all twenty arrows. There must always be some nine- and eight-rings to make up the number, unless you encounter Zhuang Xuteng.

In fact, he has never practiced archery, he has only worked hard on shooting and throwing. If the competition involves shooting ghost energy bullets or throwing throwing knives, he will not have to cheat. He knew very well that the bow in his hand was not stable and the arrows came from different batches, so it was impossible to pursue a feel habit. The cylindrical track is constructed directly from the tentacles of the wraith, and the arrows can only "slide" along the wall of the cylinder. Then Zhuang Xuteng pulled the bow as hard as he could toward the inside. Isn't it the same as shooting an arrow against the target?

Then he used the tentacles of the resentful spirit to stabilize the arrows on the target to prevent any of them from falling. Zhuang Xuteng successfully inserted arrows into the ten rings, densely and without any gaps.
