Chapter 11 Chapter 10 The Middleman
Zhuang Xuteng can remember beautiful women at just one glance, so it will not affect his reputation among middlemen. However, he also admitted that although his memory ability is sufficient for appreciating beautiful women, he was still amazed by Lucy.
I almost couldn't help but take another look.
Her figure is indeed very good, not only concave and convex, but also right in the middle line between natural and exaggerated. The silver yoga clothes tighten her body, making her more lethal. It can be seen that her parents have given her a lot of attention.
She has a good foundation and is willing to carry out careful and rigorous exercises, which gives her body the fatal charm that fully balances beauty, sexiness, strength and agility.
Yes, fatal charm. Zhuang Xuteng weighed it carefully and believed that if he was attacked by Lucy, the only key to survival was whether he could shout "spare my life" in time.
It's indeed rude to only look at the figure, but if this woman doesn't show you her face, what other options do you have? Even if you disregard the figure bonus and overall impression, just from the outline, her face shape is very delicate, and her appearance is the same, but
It was blocked by a metal mask. The surface of the mask was overflowing with light, which had a very confusing and concealing effect. It was probably a shadow slave device. Although the mask left the mouth and eyes, those strange lights were not visible.
clear.
"You are the newcomer." It turns out that the mask can also change the voice. Lucy stood in front of Zhuang Xuteng, but her voice was erratic and distorted, as if coming from another place. "Gogong Dao wants to register you as his partner
, do you have any opinions?”
"Asking you." Ge Gongdao touched him lightly.
"Brother Dao and I are together, no objection." Zhuang Xuteng finished his routine reply, and then returned to silence. Since it was best not to focus on the middle man's figure, he looked around and observed her residence.
This is an old-fashioned standard apartment of 60 square meters with one bedroom, one living room and one bathroom. There is a sunken design in the center of the living room and a circular sofa on the edge of the pit. This design was very popular at the time, but the sunken floor reduced the space for flooring. The same
In terms of rent, it is not as popular as Zhuang Xuteng's current smaller apartment.
Three walls of the living room are occupied by shelves, one of which is filled with various magazines and comics, and the other two are occupied by crafts and models. Her "collection" is full of strange things, many of which are outside the scope of appreciation of most people.
It looked a little scary, and it probably came from some underground organization that should be banned. But what made Zhuang Xuteng speechless the most was not the aesthetic issue, but that some of the things still had price tags on them. It was clear at a glance that Lucy definitely didn't pay for them.
.
"Curious but not talkative, this is a good quality, as long as you are not the slow-responsive type." Lucy has been observing Zhuang Xuteng and commented: "The body and appearance are good, and there are no obvious features, which is good for
It’s also beneficial to perform tasks. Brother Dao, you can’t do it, this guy is so easy to recognize.”
"There are advantages and disadvantages, and vice versa." Brother Dao arched his arms and raised his biceps.
"Ha, you always have a way to explain." Lucy lit a cigarette for herself, inhaled slowly, blew out smoke rings, and then said to Zhuang Xuteng: "Newcomers, you don't need to be so restrained. The two of us sit here and chat.
For a while. You can read whatever you want on the books on the shelf over there. There is food and drink in the refrigerator, just grab it. Don’t let yourself get bored."
Zhuang Xuteng nodded to express his gratitude, but still kept his mouth shut.
"You should have teamed up again a long time ago. There are few tasks that one person can take on, and the risks are high, so it is not cost-effective." Lucy held a cigarette between her fingers and looked at Ge Gong in the lingering smoke.
But he brought up another topic: "Is there any news about vipers recently?"
"What do you want to know? Alas, it's still the same. When there was a problem with that commission, he left no loopholes. He is obviously a cunning guy. If such a person betrays you, he will be very careful to guard against your revenge.
Maybe they have dug a hole waiting for you. Regardless of whether he has any new information now, you should not go to him." Lucy took another puff of cigarette and said: "He is quite popular now, and he is a mercenary that Fatty D values.
He has done a lot of missions, and it is said that he has a close relationship with the Blood Bat Gang."
"Mercenaries shouldn't hang out with gangs!"
Lucy nodded and said slowly: "I also agree with your idea, but there are no hard and fast rules in this industry, and there are no red lines. No one will say anything when he is going smoothly, and will even protect him, so he just
You can wait. Besides, if you cause trouble for him, it will definitely affect your money making."
"That's a despicable and hypocritical villain! He made me lose so much, almost all for nothing! He's become famous again? Fuck!" Ge Gongdao snorted and said: "Sooner or later, I have to make his true face known to the public, so that
He paid the price for his betrayal."
"Yeah." Lucy nodded and was about to continue the topic. At this time, Zhuang Xuteng walked up to her with a comic book and asked proactively: "Can you give me this book?"
"Oh? Yes, you can take it as you like, it's just a comic book. Uh, by the way, how old are you this year? Why do you like reading this?"
"23." Zhuang Xuteng did not answer the following question. He just smiled and nodded to Lucy and said, "Thank you."
"Thank you, there's no need. You have a nice smile, I like it. Oh, don't get me wrong, when tracking, spying and infiltrating missions, a smile that can express goodwill and intimacy but has no special memory point will be useful."
This question... Zhuang Xuteng didn't know how to answer, scratched his head, turned around and walked away with the comic book.
Lucy stared at Zhuang Xuteng's back for a while. Seeing that he was concentrating on reading comics, she withdrew her gaze and continued to talk to Ge Gongdao: "Suo Yuwan said hello, so I paid attention. There happened to be such a stepping stone.
The job is quite suitable for you to familiarize yourself with the situation. I didn’t ask you, I just took the decision and grabbed it. The specific situation of the target has to wait for the documents from the courier. I can tell you now that the time is to start tonight, and the construction period is 20 hours.
, the reward is 10%. If you have detailed map information, there will be a bonus."
The so-called "10%" in industry parlance is one-tenth of a platinum coin, which is equivalent to 500 euros.
"500 euros for some work? Normally this kind of work only costs a hundred euros a night. I feel a little strange. Who are you trying to deal with? It doesn't look like an ordinary task. Lucy, are you sure this is suitable for novices?"
"As I said, I'm also waiting for the specific situation. I can tell you one thing at the moment: this mission has not been deducted."
"No kickback" is also their jargon. If the task fails, you will definitely not get paid. If there is no need to pay additional compensation to the client at this time, it is called "no kickback".
Even if this task is difficult, as long as there are no deductions, at least it will not make the mercenary's wallet bleed. Ge Gongdao once failed a task with deductions and was thrown back to the current situation similar to that of a newcomer.
As for other pressures, such as personal risks caused by tasks, time costs, etc... Since you have chosen this industry, you should not be unaware of this.
"Lucy, do you know where the roots of this commission are rooted in the soil?"
Lucy gave Gogongdao a very obvious eye roll on his face, which the mask could not cover. "Today I will tell you the information about other middlemen, and tomorrow you will leave me alone and become someone else's stupid wolf dog.
That newcomer doesn’t understand the rules, don’t you understand them too? Or maybe you don’t want the protection of the middleman anymore?”
"Don't be angry. I said something wrong. I admit my mistake and accept the punishment."
"Your attitude is just okay! It's not very satisfactory to me." Lucy stubbed out the cigarette in her hand, raised her arms, and waved her long fingers between the two of them like a baton. She emphasized her tone and said, "I have always been
I'm taking good care of you, right? This time will be no exception. Forget about that bastard, focus on the commission, and work hard first! You are still the Wolf King!"
"I've said it many times, my family's bloodline is not wolf, but werewolf. In addition to wolf, there is also a human character." Ge Gongdao gritted his teeth and looked helpless.
"Absolutely. If you don't have a Chinese character, no one will think you walk on four legs."
Lucy laughed. Her laughter should be nice, but the mask distorted it and made it hoarse and dry. Zhuang Xuteng leaned on the shelf and read comics, while listening to the conversation with his ears. He didn't understand.
How much is "10%", but "500 euros" is really what he heard. Half a cent is 250 euros, which can quench his thirst for his financial situation. He must get this money!
Oh, by the way, there may be a bonus, which is more money!
Brother Dao has to worry about how to perform the task and how to deal with the situation. He only needs to perform well and meet Brother Dao's requirements. This is just like going to work in a factory. Newcomers must not only work hard, but also avoid making blind efforts. Good.
Only with a good attitude and good abilities can you stand firm in the industry.
It's a pity that today's performance cannot be called perfect: he took the initiative to talk without saying hello. But he really couldn't help it, because of a good and ulterior reason: he saw some patterns in the background of the comic book cover, which were related to him
The patterns on the stone pillars in the dream are very similar!
He had been trying to restore the dream, and his mind was filled with hazy impressions of stone pillar patterns, so similar graphics in the comic book immediately stirred his nerves and caught his attention.
This series of comic books is called "The Brave Detective Evans Destroys Three Witches". It costs one yuan a book. The printing quality and comic content have nothing to do with exquisiteness. Its core is to use a flowing mat method to combine a lot of pornography, violence and pretentious content.
Sell it out. You don’t need brains to read this thing, and you don’t need to connect the context. Basically, you can read it when you pick it up, and you will feel happy after watching it. It is a good way to pass the time.
Since the content is all repetitive routines, it needs to find ways to reduce the cost of creation. When it needs to draw the background, it uses several sets of material libraries to paste directly, often repeated. And there happens to be something similar to what Zhuang Xuteng saw in his dream.
picture of.
Is this a coincidence? Or did someone do it on purpose? I don’t know. If the numbers or a short paragraph of text are exactly the same, the possibility is not small. Then the order and feeling of a large number of patterns are exactly the same, which is a coincidence.
Too much.
Zhuang Xuteng can come up with another possibility that it is "tongdeng", that is, a certain painter dreamed of the same scene under the influence of Ying Cong, and then drew it as inspiration and stuffed it into the material library. Well... this
It sounds a bit unbelievable, but the possibility is finally a little bit greater.
Regardless of where it came from, the patterns in comic books greatly inspired Zhuang Xuteng. In previous attempts, the graphics in the dream were like long-standing memories, with only a very strong hazy feeling. If you want details,
, it is difficult to recall it in detail alone. Now he compared the patterns in the book, and the contents on the stone pillars immediately became clear. Now, he could finally "wear glasses" to clearly see his dream!
