Zhuang Xuteng never understood how the intermediary's information network was laid out, and how he could find the mercenaries on a mission without using a communicator. But he knew that even if he asked, Lucy would use the words "commercial secrets"

A single word answer would probably never satisfy his curiosity. In any case, as long as she could find Brother Dao, even if it took three days.

Ge Gongdao was still the same, except for the bandage on his wrist and two more band-aids on his face. He was very enthusiastic when he saw Zhuang Xuteng, and he gave him a bear hug when he came up, laughing three times before letting go.

"You are more majestic than before, and you have finally gained some muscles." Brother Dao clapped his hands a few times and said with a smile: "Is the PCPD training very useful? Do you know any beautiful girls in uniforms?"

"It's very useful. Its usefulness is similar to the pre-employment training in the factory. As for the girls, I did know a few, but I still think you are better." Zhuang Xuteng reached out to brush away the non-existent dust on Brother Dao's shoulders and said hypocritically

Said: "Look, without my care, you are injured..."

"Go away, you are pretending to be nothing like it." Ge Gongdao pointed to the bandage on his arm and said: "The injuries from boxing will heal in a few days and will not affect work. This time I have finally completed the training and can work

Are you ready for work?"

Zhuang Xuteng nodded and said, "Let's buy equipment first?"

"I have to buy it. The black market has been having sales recently and there are some clearance activities. It's a good time for us to catch up. But as a mercenary, I always check the commission first and then buy the equipment, so as not to waste money."

Zhuang Xuteng nodded and said: "That makes sense. After all, we need to enter a positive cycle of investment and income!"

"Haha, you remember very clearly what I said three months ago!" Brother Dao was even happier. He turned to Lucy, who had been left out for a while, and asked her if she had any good commissions recently.

Lucy snorted, blew out the smoke ring softly, and said: "Nike asked me. The rating of your two-person partnership is almost non-existent. Now there are only some entrustments for checking in, monitoring, delivering goods or picking up packages. You are more

Which one do you like?"

"I just delivered the goods for more than half a month. I don't want to drive for the moment. Let's see if there is any good way to pick up the package. We will also prepare according to this." Brother Dao waved to Lucy, then put his arm around Zhuang Xuteng's shoulders.

Walking out. "Let me tell you, where we are going, there is..."

"Wait!" Lucy stopped them, took out a bulging envelope from the drawer under the dining table, threw it to Zhuang Xuteng, and said: "The subsequent 10,000 euros, plus a little more dividends, the total

About twelve thousand. In this way, all the rewards for our previous commissioned tasks have been settled. If you still want to get money from me, you have to work! Do you understand?"

Zhuang Xuteng nodded, opened the envelope, roughly divided the money inside into three parts, and put them in three different pockets.

"Also, remember to buy a set of handheld radios, as long as they can steal the signal. Sometimes the package pick-up request does not specify the placement location before success, and temporary communication is required."

Ge Gongdao slapped his chest and said, "I'll cover it! How about a communications station for the company's battlefield?"

"That would be better." Lucy waved her hand and said, "I won't delay your shopping! Remember to close the door for me. By the way, I have to change rooms recently. Don't forget to look downstairs next time you come.

mailbox."

The two people said that they remembered it, and then they came downstairs while chatting and laughing. There was a car parked at the door of the building, the Piaotu Millennium, a double-cab pickup truck produced in 1999.

It's completely covered.

"My car still has two months of use. If I don't return it later, my deposit will be deducted and I will buy it." Ge Gongdao kicked the wheel and said:

"The 275/75 R15 tires can be used to push through, which is very good. There is nothing wrong with the car at the moment. I also want to keep it. What do you think?"

"It looks good. Have you been driving it recently when you make deliveries?"

"Yes! Originally I just rented it to do work, but later I relied on it for two escapes, and I developed a bit of a relationship. Naike, you go to heat the steam engine, and I will see how your driving skills are. By the way, you have a driver's license, right?

?”

"Yes. I asked my friend from the PCPD to get one done for me as a matter of urgency."

Civilian vehicles that use steam as the main power and electric power as the auxiliary power are more troublesome to start. They need to heat the engine before they can get enough driving force. This kind of car cannot be started and driven away as soon as it is put on. Compared with

Pure electric cars are a lot more troublesome. But the advantages are also obvious: they are cheap.

Since Zhuang Xuteng was asked to drive, he had to readjust the positions of the seat and steering wheel. Ge Gongdao was also doing the same thing in the passenger seat. Afterwards, Brother Dao kept telling anecdotes about his delivery encounters, and occasionally

With guidance, Zhuang Xuteng finally drove the car to its destination. His evaluation of the car was: it was worse than a truck.

"That's because your arm strength is too small and you can't control this baby."

Well, I have already used the title of "darling", so I will probably keep this car.

Two people came to the black market to purchase items. The reason why the black market is called a black market is because if enough protection fees are paid, no one will check here. Of course, there are prerequisites for this, such as there can be no fighting, chaos or the conduct is particularly embarrassing.

Transactions that are tolerated cannot be exposed by the news media and PCPD property cannot be sold here.

This black market is called "Baimin Cheap" and is located in the central patio of a conjoined apartment building. Four forty-story buildings form a circle, and there is an activity platform every fifth floor in the central patio, which uses imitation sunlight lamps.

Lighting. There are barber shops, restaurants, waste recycling, electrical appliance repair and newspaper and magazine shops on the platform, as well as fighting arenas, parks and private entertainment venues. The Baimin Discount Market is on the third platform.

The patio is square, and the market can only have the same shape. Around the perimeter, closer to the load-bearing columns of the building, a long-term store is waiting for customers. From outside to inside, there are temporary tents, push carts and stalls.

The entire market is surrounded by an iron wall, and all shop windows and doors face inwards, which can only be seen when entering the market.

It is not necessary to unload the gun when entering the market, but you must conduct a body search to prevent people with evil intentions from affecting the tranquility and peace here. Zhuang Xuteng and Ge Gongdao are both people who follow the rules. They openly allow people to check and accept the shadow detection spell.

Brother Dao said that if you do well and have an identity, you can pass through without inspection. He once got that kind of treatment, but now he is at the low point of his career.

In addition to the body search, "Children are not allowed to enter" and "PCPD tea break please go to 1404==" were written at the entrance of the market. In addition to the security guards hired by the market at the entrance - most likely gang members, or mercenaries -

—There is actually a three-person PCPD team.

Based on the knowledge learned in the training, Zhuang Xuteng immediately recognized that these people were security patrols and should patrol everywhere instead of acting as security guards here. And judging from their familiarity with chatting with black market security guards, this kind of thing does not happen in a day or two.

.

When I walked in, I saw a lot of stalls but very few customers. Everything was sold here, or whatever was on sale, mainly counterfeit goods that were not qualified for market access, some handmade products from residents, and some contraband and stolen goods.

.

"When shopping here, you have to keep your eyes open, your ears open, and your wallet closed." Brother Dao said, "Just browse and take a look at the things on the street stalls. It's mainly the surrounding residents who come to buy them. Look, there are some medicines over there.

They may be things stolen from the hospital. There are also some daily necessities and electrical appliances, which are very cheap, and some people come here to pick them up. We mercenaries come and go often, and usually go to the surrounding shops to buy things. We are not afraid that they will run away, so we can buy things like this.

The quality could also be better.”

Zhuang Xuteng looked around, and many people looked at him with eager expectations. Seeing that he was a stranger, they greeted him warmly and invited him over. Zhuang Xuteng smiled and shook his head, and then asked Brother Dao: "If there is anything good,

Can I sell here?"

"That's another set of procedures, which is quite troublesome and unnecessary." Ge Gongdao said: "If you have something to sell, or we get some extra loot to sell in the commission, find a familiar middleman to handle it.

That’s it. Setting up a stall here or selling to a shop here, apart from not getting the right price, the key is taking up time. If you have that time, wouldn’t it be better to exercise more and take on a few more tasks?”

Zhuang Xuteng nodded, but he still had questions: "Since the middlemen receive the goods, why don't they sell the goods?"

"Mercenaries buy things to entrust tasks, and the risks during the period must be weighed and borne by the mercenaries themselves. Intermediaries can also sell things, but they will never sell them to mercenaries, in order to isolate benefits and risks. If mercenaries buy them with

Something happened to something, for example, the equipment was damaged, causing the commission to fail. Who do you think is responsible for this? The middleman has calculated very clearly and will not give excuses like mercenaries. When we get there, we will find this company."

The store has no name, it just has a black painted board hanging on the signboard to highlight the characteristics of a "black store". Ge Gongdao said that it is actually called "Black Flag Grocery Store". The boss is a bit lazy, but the goods are good.

Zhuang Xuteng was about to follow in when he glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw something unexpected on the stall next to him: a whole pile of alloy steel pistols. He stopped Brother Dao, then came to the stall and squatted down, picked up the alloy steel and examined it carefully.

Regardless of the weight, touch, and luster, Zhuang Xuteng could not admit that this was alloy steel for a pistol. He picked up the thing and showed it to Brother Dao, who was a little confused.

"What kind of iron piece is this?"

It's no wonder that he couldn't recognize it. This kind of alloy steel will change a lot after being made into a pistol, including texture, hardness, and even color.

Zhuang Xuteng thought for a moment, and he shouldn't be able to directly tell that this was for making pistols, so he changed his approach and pointed directly at the topic: "Brother Dao, how should I inquire about the price? Is there any particularity here?"

"Maybe there's some in there too, you go and take a look first." Brother Dao blinked and said.

"30 euros a piece!" The stall owner said quickly: "30 euros is a small amount of money. If you can't buy it, you will suffer a loss and you won't be fooled. If you buy in large quantities, you will get discounts."

"30, that's not the right price... If it's 20 euros, I'll buy one first and let someone check it out. If that person wants it, I'll get it from you." Zhuang Xuteng said seriously: "This thing is available in many places now.

The key to buying something is whether it can be sold, right?"

"You are knowledgeable, then 20!"
