There are often mercenaries coming in and out of the music restaurant, and there are usually "former" mercenaries and Lucy's permanent staff to maintain the operation. Small gangs on the street dare not disturb them at all - if a big gang comes, Lucy will too

Choose to spend money to avoid disasters first - so this has always been a popular haven for nearby residents.

Everyone will choose to come here to relax after get off work. If there is a banquet, family gathering or celebrating some important days, they also like to come here. Here, you will not be disturbed by vicious gangs, and there will be someone to take care of the arrogant and arrogant guys. A place where everyone can enjoy peace and joy is always very popular in Peicheng.

During business hours, the restaurant is always very busy. Not only can the room be full, but sometimes additional seats are added outside to provide temporary rest for customers queuing up. Today was different, although the restaurant was full of people, including two

There were people inside and outside the building's office and in the corridor, but there was not a single customer. Zhuang Xuteng and Ge Gongdao sat on chairs at the door, guarding the sign next to them that said "Closed today."

After careful observation, Zhuang Xuteng finally confirmed that Ge Gongdao's mood had indeed improved. The big man got rid of his depressed mood and returned to his silly and cheerful state. He ordered a full cup of cold drinks for himself and Zhuang Xuteng

Beer, sit leisurely under the parasol, drink with salty soda bread sticks, and commemorate the past history together.

"The viper still died in my hands - although it didn't happen according to the scene I imagined, the result is actually the same." Ge Gongdao fumbled with the glass wine glass, staring at the small bubbles floating in clusters of orange-yellow wine.

"I wasn't very happy at first, until I thought about it clearly: It was impossible for everything to go as planned. If I had followed my ideas, Viper should have killed me when I learned that he was a traitor.

If my mind is dead, how can I still live to this day?"

Zhuang Xuteng nodded, raised his glass and touched it with Brother Dao, and said, "I feel relieved if you think like this. I'm afraid that you will suddenly lose your life goals and become decadent."

"My goal as a mercenary has never been to kill traitors, not in the past, not now, nor in the future. Viper is just a stage in life, and I have always been a greedy person, there will always be another target!"

Ge Gongdao took a sip of beer and burped vigorously: "It's great! This thing is still enjoyable. The guy in the kitchen always asks me to buy cocktails, but it's also very expensive."

Speaking of the kitchen, Zhuang Xuteng shook his head and said, "This is the first time I know that the kitchen guy can also handle corpses."

"I just found out." Ge Gongdao put down his wine glass and said, "I walked around the restaurant with the body in my hands. That look... it wouldn't have a good impact anyway, it would be off-putting. They probably didn't want to bother cleaning up afterwards, so they said that.

Can provide this type of service. When I asked, I found out that they had done similar work before, such as cleaning battle scenes, restoring damaged things, and applying make-up to corpses so that they could pass inspection at the crematorium."

"It feels like an enhanced version of funeral service." Zhuang Xuteng concluded with a smile: "But how did they get hired by Lucy?"

"I didn't ask about this. It's probably because of the previous intermediary war and the recent series of enrollment expansions! This is also good. The service items are more complete. We can also save some time and focus on what we are best at."

What we are best at - that is fighting. Zhuang Xuteng frowned slightly and said: "Brother Dao, I think we should also expand our recruitment and increase the manpower of the team. The two of us have gained a bit of fame, but this fame is for fighting.

Yes, to put it bluntly, it means killing. If we can only be killers in the future, then this mercenary will not be comfortable doing it, what do you think?"

Ge Gongdao stopped, thought about it, and then nodded: "What you said makes sense. Our master has strong fighting ability, and now this view has gradually transferred to the two of us. If we don't have other abilities to supplement it, we will become killers."

Combination, this is not good.”

"Comparatively speaking, you are worse off. I can still lurk and act stealthily, but you can't. Therefore, I still have a future as a killer, but your road will become narrower and narrower." Zhuang Xuteng placed a hand on his hand.

He raised his chin and said, "We need to recruit people and increase the areas we are good at. This requires careful planning."

Ge Gongdao raised his eyebrows, heheed twice, and said: "You'd better tell me your thoughts first! Judging from your appearance, you must have some ideas."

"Our last mission was very successful, and we relied on the cooperation of many parties. Brother Dao, we lack professional skills such as intelligence. Since the intelligence industry requires special implants, there is obviously no hope for the two of us, so we have to rely on recruitment in this regard.

Let others handle it. I hope you will examine the two sisters Nightingale and Yanque, mainly to see how their character is. In terms of ability and on-the-spot performance, we have already seen it, at least they are qualified, right?"

Ge Gongdao touched the wolf hair that had just grown back and nodded slowly. "I think their abilities are not outstanding among intelligence officers, but they are enough. But there is one thing you have to consider: after forming a team

, you have to find a way to cover the expenses of the entire team. Two frontline intelligence officers cost a lot of money!"

The intelligence officer's extra expense compared to other mercenaries is mainly on the maintenance of the implants, and the implants of Nightingale and Rock Bird are more expensive due to their poor quality. However, Zhuang Xuteng can reduce the burden of the two sisters by absorbing the resentment.

The side effect is that it saves them money. When comparing equal pay, Zhuang Xuteng's ability will bring them high bonus points and even have the final say.

"I have a good relationship with them, and they will be more willing to form a team with us." Zhuang Xuteng cannot say in public that he can reduce the side effects of implants. He can only say this: "And team formation can take many forms, and there are no

We must be tied together and not separated at all. We are good at something, and they are good at something, and we can cooperate with each other in action. Don't forget that we want to increase the types of entrusted tasks, don't they want to?"

Ge Gongdao thought for a while and nodded slowly. To be a little more arrogant, their combat effectiveness is relatively high in the mercenary industry, but their ranking in the intelligence field is not that high.

.If we want to enrich our means, Nightingale and Yanque have relatively higher demands on them. If the four of them cooperate, Zhuang Xuteng and Ge Gongdao will have a more advantageous negotiating position, and they will be able to dominate the situation.

However, I can only think about this in my heart and never say it out loud. On the surface, Ge Gongdao still sighs: "Oh, it's easy to find thugs, but there are few intelligence officers. We have to perform well to make the sisters tempted."

"Tempted? Is that what you said?" Zhuang Xuteng shook his head with a smile and said, "But one thing is right, thugs are easy to find. Brother Dao, we still need a good driver, the kind who can drive anything."

"You want me to go?" Ge Gongdao scratched his head and said: "I can drive now, and I also understand how ships sail, and then there are dump trucks and forklifts...I don't know how to do anything else, especially not

Aircraft. I’m so big, it’s not easy for you to let me fly it!”

"You won't show your burly figure in the cab." Zhuang Xuteng said: "I think you are the best candidate for the reserve team and the final line of defense. With you in the middle, the operational personnel in the front can rest assured. Especially when

When you control the transportation, everyone doesn't have to worry about the escape route and escape by themselves. Brother Dao, think about it, is this position very important?"

Ge Gongdao frowned and said, "I still think you don't want me to charge forward..."

"You are big and have obvious features, so you are easily recognized. If you are asked to charge, you will definitely not be prepared to leave the enemy alive. Do you think this is true?" Zhuang Xuteng said with a smile.

"Well... Mainly because my name has become public, some mercenary operations are really difficult to handle. I used to be a freelance mercenary. I would work for this today and that tomorrow, and I couldn't get any important jobs. Now I can't

It’s the same, I’m always following Lucy, and I have a mentor,

This is also a restriction for me." Ge Gongdao thought about it carefully and said: "Indeed, the job of ensuring the safety of the retreat is very important, and I don't trust it to anyone other than you. When Viper betrayed me,

It just cut off my retreat route and seriously delayed me, so..."

Zhuang Xuteng nodded, added more firewood to the fire, and said: "I came up with this idea after listening to your past lessons. No matter how we form a team, temporary or long-term, everyone knows that in our mercenary industry,

Brother Dao is a moral and reasonable person. With you behind us, even if someone has a slight sway and changes his mind, he will have an extra layer of scruples, reducing the possibility of him betraying us."

"Indeed, I understand, but learning to pilot makes me a little scared. This aircraft..."

"If you sit in the front or back row, the flight cockpit may need to be modified. Besides, if the mission relies heavily on the aircraft, we can also find someone else. Brother Dao, you don't have to be very proficient, but you must be able to do it."

Ge Gongdao gritted his teeth and said: "Well, it's just a wolf going to heaven! But if I can't learn it, you have to learn it too! Even if it's just to accompany me."

"Hehe, okay! If you don't ask Prince to accompany you but you invite me, aren't you afraid that people will feel left out by you?" Zhuang Xuteng used this topic to say: "Brother Dao, you can ask Prince, she

He’s also a good candidate.”

I thought I was sure of it, but Brother Dao shook his head, his attitude still very firm. "No, I won't find her. This has nothing to do with trust, it's just a concern of mercenaries. Every time you go on a mission, there is always the possibility that you won't be able to come back.

If two people go together, they may end up together. If something really happens, whether it's collecting corpses or seeking revenge, there will always be another one. The closer they are, the less likely they are to be partners."

Zhuang Xuteng scratched his head and said, "Isn't it right? I think the left and right hands are always together, and aren't the same for the rock bird and the nightingale?"

"Are Palovic's men still considered mercenaries now? I think they have all become the white gloves of the riot control squad." Gogongdao curled his lips and said: "As for Nightingale and Yanque, they operate together.

Only when the time comes can they show their due strength, just like 1+1 is greater than 2. If they are separated, one person will appear a bit weak. So as a mercenary, it is safe to keep a little distance between close people."

Prince is not a good candidate, and her abilities already overlap with those of Zhuang Xuteng and Ge Gongdao, especially after the same implant is installed, this situation becomes even more obvious.

"Brother Dao, how did your team allocate work back then? What other talents do we need?"

Ge Gongdao picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp, then wiped his mouth with the short hair on his arm. His face was a little rosy, I don't know if it was because of alcohol or other psychological reasons. "My team was just put together, there was no one at all.

A planner like you is responsible for talent planning. At that time, we thought that with more people, we would be more powerful, so we could save some money and buy a good quality implant. Think about it, we don’t even have a complete set of implants, how can we do anything else?

Taking into account various specialties?"

“Is there a model to follow in the industry?”

"Haha, you asked the right person. If there is a successful model to follow, I won't be sold." Ge Gongdao shook his head and said: "We can only walk the road ourselves, and other people's footprints may not be suitable.

Our feet. Naike, there is something I am curious about: you asked me to learn to drive, so what are you going to learn? Your character will not relax your demands on yourself, I know this very well. "

"I want to learn to walk lightly, and then use our existing strengths - you should understand what I mean, right?" Zhuang Xuteng opened his palms, slowly closed them, and said: "After the implant is put in, it needs to be re-installed.

I have gained some experience in adapting to strength. I want to try practicing and see if I can develop in this direction."

This is the way assassins operate. This is Nike's future plan for himself? Wasn't the previous goal of increasing the team's manpower to avoid becoming a killer-assassin action team? Why did it go back again?

Zhuang Xuteng patted Ge Gongdao's arm and said: "Brother Dao, don't frown! We enrich our abilities, specialties and means, just like we improve our martial arts, we will never suffer losses. But when outsiders look over, their first impression of us will always be

It can be fought. If there is no progress in this area, it is actually not good. I will study the silent operations, and you will be responsible for the vigorous operations. This also enriches the means!"

"It's not because of this that I frown, but..." Ge Gongdao hesitated and said: "When it comes to moving lightly, Prince is a good player. You won't become her style, will you? It's a bit weird when you think about it.

Goosebumps.”

"Brother Dao, I won't become her even if I learn from her, why are you so embarrassed?" Zhuang Xuteng covered his forehead and said helplessly: "Wait a minute, you want to block the possibility of me learning from her, right? I'm worried.

Who should I ask for advice, why are you blocking my way?"

"Uh... I don't mean that. If you want to find someone to learn from, I can tell her that it's okay to be an intermediary guarantor. But in the mercenary industry, skills must be exchanged for skills. You two

What kind of agreement is reached is none of my business."
