Washing hands in a golden basin

Washing hands in a golden basin
Three days have passed since Zhuang Xuteng got the warhammer, and he still has not adapted to this heavy one-handed weapon. The weight of four kilograms is placed in the cold weapon category, even if compared with two-handed weapons, it is not inferior at all. Ordinary one-handed weapons
The mace weighs less than half a kilogram, and Zhuang Xuteng's armor-breaking hammer is eight times heavier. Most two-handed swords weigh less than three kilograms, and only a few can weigh more than four kilograms, but they are two-handed swords!
It is easy for problems to occur in martial arts when weapons carry people away. If your life's safety depends on a single blow, it doesn't matter who follows whom even if you risk your life, but this is not a normal battle. The enemies Zhuang Xuteng faced
There are those with high speed and high bursts, some with rough skin and thick flesh, and of course there are also those with excellent martial arts. He must fully control the weapon to take advantage of super computing and super cache martial arts in battle.
It's just that he can't care about it now, the golden basin hand washing ceremony is today.
The ceremony begins after lunch. Those who come to the ceremony must eat first in the music restaurant. After eating and drinking, they are the ticket to participate in the ceremony. The dining table is removed, the venue is vacated, and the ceremony officially begins. Lucy has six sentences in length
The speech was followed by a speech by Famine Stranger, which lasted no more than two minutes. The last person to speak was another intermediary. That person was a friend of Famine Stranger and was considered "highly respected" in the industry.
After the three people finished speaking, they began to congratulate and resolve their grievances. According to Lucy and Master's estimation, most of them came to congratulate. Those who had grievances would also make fun of them, and those with a bad temper would scold them. It was only possible to tolerate this kind of thing.
It’s almost time to break up.
After all, they are in the minority. If there is a fight, Zhuang Xuteng and Ge Gongdao will go first. If not, then there will be the Famine Stranger to support them. It would be best if the fight can be completed as soon as possible. If it is too long, it will not be later than sunset. From noon
At sunset, it symbolizes the departure of the strong.
For the two apprentices, it would be too embarrassing if the master had to take action on such an important day. Especially for Zhuang Xuteng, he also had an audience: Morgana.
Zhuang Xuteng personally added Morgana's name to the guest list, and also greeted her at the door personally, but he could not accompany her afterwards. He was not only a welcome guest but also a security guard, and his work could not be careless at all. In addition, Morgana also
She is not in the mercenary-middleman industry, so it would be inappropriate to bring matters within the industry to her head.
The two had agreed in advance, so they cooperated very well when they met. Zhuang Xuteng took Morgana to the booth in the corner. It was not only quiet but also had a good view. Most of the venue and all entrances and exits could be seen. It was Lucy.
The favorite position of his mercenaries also includes the two partners Zhuang Xuteng and Ge Gongdao. Since everyone in the venue today eats the same food and there is no ordering service, Zhuang Xuteng can only apologize to Morgana.
Morgana waved her hand and said: "You can go about your business, I will watch from here. Now I am the Holy Light Witch, so don't call me the wrong one."
"Okay, Holy Light Witch." Zhuang Xuteng nodded, suppressed his smile, and continued to complete his mission.
It is indeed a task. Zhuang Xuteng must show the same concentration and patience as when entrusting a task. There are many people here today. There is still an hour before lunch starts. One hundred and thirteen people have already come, and the remaining fifty are expected.
On the road. Zhuang Xuteng must keep an eye on each of them. Any abnormal shadow energy signals are worthy of suspicion.
The most tiring thing is actually remembering names, and he particularly admires Brother Dao for this. He has been in the industry for a long enough time, and he knows most of the people who come here, and he can chat with about half of them, and at least a third of them.
They were all very familiar with each other. Seeing him picking things up with ease, chatting and laughing, Zhuang Xuteng was very envious, and at the same time regretted that he had not memorized the guest list in advance.
He has no experience or awareness in this area, and in the past few days, his main energy has been spent reading magic books and playing with armor-piercing hammers. Zhuang Xuteng seemed a little nervous, but fortunately he was good at adapting to changes and finally managed to cope with the situation. In fact, everyone
Everyone knows that he has only been in the industry for a short time, so we don’t expect him to get to know the people here, but the people here should get to know him.
Scarecrow Naike is a well-known mercenary. Although he is not the fastest, he is still a young man who has become famous in a relatively short time since he entered the industry. He deserves everyone's attention. After the previous "invasion" incident by middlemen from outside the city, the locals in Peicheng
The middlemen are more united and consciously avoid trying to undermine each other. In the next period of time, the middlemen will cooperate with each other and the mercenaries will have many opportunities to cooperate with each other. At this time, you should make more friends and less enemies.
It’s 12 o’clock at noon, and everyone starts eating! The food is very simple, with only three types of rice bowls to choose from: pure meat, vegan, and meat and vegetable combinations. There is only a small plate of rice, which can be said to be very stingy, and the taste is average.
Nothing special. The only drinks on the table are tea and
Juice and no alcohol are given. Everyone knows what the ceremony is for. People who come here may come here just to watch the fun, but they definitely don’t come to taste the delicious food. Pick up the spoon and eat as soon as possible, wipe your mouth after eating,
Waiting for the restaurant waiter to come and clean up.
Lucy is relatively public. She opened such a music restaurant to arrange the people around her, which can be regarded as a very humane thing in the industry. Most middlemen just open a joint income account, pay monthly, and don't care about anything else.
Lucy opens a restaurant and can always take care of the situation of the people around her. Whether it is emergency or disaster relief, it can be more timely, which will of course be better.
It only took fifteen minutes to put the plates away from the table, which was faster than the half-hour reserved for lunch. Everyone looked at me, and I looked at each other, and many people laughed. Some people yelled to show off.
Start the next program as soon as possible. If you really want to get stuck in the process, you can go in person and sing or dance for everyone.
Lucy ignored this ploy. She sat at the main table at the front, chatting with the hungry strangers and four other middlemen around her. There was no band performance, no burlesque performers, just the clock ticking. Here we are.
At half past twelve, Lucy stood up on time and started to move forward with the next step of the process.
"The time is up. Those who come again can only watch and cannot come up to make trouble. Otherwise, it will be an insult to all the punctual and trustworthy people present." Lucy looked around everyone, then invited the Famine Stranger to explain today's situation.
Everyone spoke very quickly, and everyone understood. So many mercenaries and middlemen gathered together to witness this moment, rather than wanting to stay here and be blamed. Fortunately, the competitors from the outer city were crippled a while ago.
, the troublesome elements within the PCPD have also been eliminated, and now the police and citizens are living together as a family, it is the best time for the external environment. But it is impossible to completely relax in this line of work, and you must always be alert to the dangers in the dark. What Lucy is most worried about
They are gangs, and second in line are the riot squads.
Zhuang Xuteng stared at the field, and the sound of meteors came from the earphones. She talked to Zhuang Xuteng on a special channel, telling him the situation in the surrounding blocks and the radio network. Only by maintaining high tension can we win safety and success. Not only Zhuang Xuteng and
Ge Gong said that all Lucy's mercenaries participated in this operation.
Allowing the Famine Stranger to retire smoothly is of great significance to every mercenary under Lucy's name. Everyone grows old and weak at some point, and every successful precedent is a guarantee for future generations. Not only mercenaries need to retire
, Lucy will also have time to retire. Taking advantage of the good industry atmosphere now, and using Famine Stranger to form a "routine" this time, everyone's future will be easier.
After the three people spoke, the next step was to settle the grudges. The famine stranger stood in front of everyone, with Zhuang Xuteng and Ge Gongdao on his left and right hands respectively. The three masters and disciples accepted the test of everyone. The first test was character and human relations.
, the better the relationship with everyone, the more congratulations there will be. Some guys who owe favors to the famine strangers even said among them: "If someone wants to fight today, I will go first and repay the favor."
As long as most of the people can show their support, the retirement ceremony will go smoothly. There will inevitably be some people who make some weird comments. Anyway, as long as they don't take action, the famine strangers can only stand on the side and listen. After all, they have been here for a long time.
Everyone knows that the Famine Stranger has a very strong fighting ability. Anyone who knows how much he weighs will not really go up to fight him. He can just curse a few times and avoid looking like a thorn in the industry.
.
Everyone was chatting at one another for more than forty minutes, and then the voices gradually became quieter. At this time, someone shouted: "Stay here and delay business. Who among you doesn't have a lot of things to deal with at home? If there is a fight,
Then hurry up and don’t wait here until dusk. What are you waiting for? Are you waiting for the PCPD to come and check your ID?”
Looking left and right, it seemed that no one was coming up. So the man shouted again: "In addition to settling the grudges, we also want to see the level of the Famine Stranger's apprentices, so that if anyone wants to secretly find trouble for the Famine Stranger,
, you have to weigh it up. For a famine stranger, if he doesn’t have confidence, he won’t push out his apprentices and then retire. So he has to fight anyway, right?"
"That's right! You can't come here and just eat rice bowls and listen to people beeping. Lucy doesn't dance, so there has to be something fun to watch! Who is going to fight? This is also a chance to become famous!"
Zhuang Xuteng scanned the audience and looked at everyone's expressions. He was waiting for the challenger. At this time, the voice of Meteor came from the earphones. She told Zhuang Xuteng not to worry: "The person who just spoke was a shill hired by Lucy to enhance the atmosphere.
Not bad, right? Finish the work early and finish work early, every minute counts!"
In front of everyone, Zhuang Xuteng couldn't talk to her. There must be people present who could lip-read. He could only listen to Meteor whispering in his ears, and then wait for everyone present to push him into the ring.
After more than ten minutes of pushing and shoving, a strong man finally stood up. The guy was nearly two meters tall and could be considered a little giant, but his figure was rounder than Brother Dao. He looked innocent, with a look of indifference between humans and animals.
With a shy smile, he bowed his hands to the people around him, and then challenged Ge Gongdao.
"I can't bully a little guy!" the man said.
Zhuang Xuteng smiled slightly and said that he didn't care. He took a step back and gave the field to Brother Dao. He went back two minutes later. Ge Gongdao defeated the challenger three times, five times and two times, and half of the two minutes was spent on
Talk about the rules of challenge.
Super calculation and five flashes are quite advantageous in melee combat. Ge Gongdao proved that he has learned the martial arts of the Famine Stranger, which proves that this is a true master-disciple inheritance, and it is more about trying favors rather than exchanging benefits.
This is not a business. If a businessman wants to take a challenge, he must weigh it carefully.
