Chapter 24: Alliance Mission (two chapters in one)
"Kekeke~"
Early the next morning, before dawn, people were already taking to the streets one after another. Some shops began to fetch water early to wash away the mud and dust in front of their houses.
"Shopkeeper, there was so much noise last night, why does it seem so quiet this morning?"
The clerk from Zhixingtang opened the door and looked around the street. Seeing that there was no movement, he turned around and walked to the counter and whispered to the shopkeeper.
"Go, go, as long as you don't think it's a big deal! Can you watch it if we make some trouble together?"
The shopkeeper glared at the waiter angrily.
The waiter scratched his head and said with a smile: "The harder they beat us, the better our business will be."
When the shopkeeper heard this, he raised his hand and gave the clerk a slap on the head, and cursed: "Hey, you bastard, ours is a pharmacy, not a coffin shop. We make money with conscience, not get rich from dead people."
"Yes Yes Yes!"
The waiter was so scolded by the shopkeeper that he couldn't hold his head up, so he quickly nodded and admitted his mistake.
The shopkeeper finished scolding the boy, and after adjusting the abacus a few times, he frowned for a moment. The deficit last month has not been made up, and the deficit this month will probably be even greater. The key is that the camel land every month is too expensive.
Thinking of this, the shopkeeper could only call the waiter: "Didn't I say yesterday that I wanted to purchase a rhinoceros horn? Go and return the order and replace it with an ox horn."
When the waiter heard this, he didn't ask any more questions. It was obvious that this kind of thing had not happened once or twice.
Then the shopkeeper fiddled with the abacus a few more times, and began to calculate in his mind with a grimace.
Last time the big boss sent a telegram saying that he would send someone with good skills to come and see the show, but it has been two days and no one has been seen. I am afraid that there may be some accident due to the high mountains and rivers along the way.
Thinking of the shopkeeper twirling the beads on the abacus twice and taking out ten silver coins, he thought that it was a good thing and he saved a lot of money.
Just as he was thinking about it, someone suddenly broke in from outside the door. When the shopkeeper took a look, his heart skipped a beat and he hurried to greet him: "Brother Shapi, why are you here in person? If you need anything, just let the brothers below know."
The person who enters is called Seshapi, the straw sandals of Qinggang.
He was responsible for collecting the rent in this area, so when the shopkeeper saw this owner, he started to tremble in his heart.
"Stop blabbering, let's get some trauma medicine. Didn't you know there was such a big movement last night, Chixian!"
After Sezapei cursed, he casually sat down on the stool and crossed his legs casually.
The shopkeeper hurriedly took out a pack of cigarettes and handed them over. Se Shapi took it and lit one, and then continued: "Boss, your rent is almost up this month. Please order it as soon as possible and pay it together!"
"Um...there's still half a month left, right?"
The shopkeeper looked embarrassed. It had only been half a month since the last time he paid. If he handed over the money, there was no guarantee that he would collect the money again half a month later.
Lai Shapi glared, tilted his head and looked at the shopkeeper: "I'm going to beat your lungs out, I said pay now, you are deaf, if you dare to make your mother believe it or not, I will kill you!"
"No, no, no, I'm going right now, I'm going right now!"
The shopkeeper was yelled at by Lai Shapi and immediately did not dare to say any more. For fear of irritating the gentleman, he walked to the counter and took out a stack of silver coins and gave them to Lai Shapi along with the gold sore medicine sent by the waiter.
.
Lai Shapi collected the money and took the medicine. Then he stood up with satisfaction and pointed at the shopkeeper: "You know what you're doing, don't be so pushy in the future, idiot!"
The shopkeeper paid the money and delivered the medicine, but instead of receiving any benefit, he was scolded, but at this moment he could only nod and smile.
If this was in Shanghai, who would dare to be so presumptuous, but here is the New Territories, and Zhixingtang's golden signboard, not only does no one buy his face, but in the eyes of these local snakes, he is just a big fat sheep.
Not only does the monthly rent cost more than others, but the place is also used as a free clinic.
The shopkeeper sent the person away with a smile, then walked up to the counter with a dark face, fiddled with the abacus a few times, and slammed the table: "That loser named An, there is no trace of him now, his grandma's
Isn't this a delay? The boss still expects him to escort the following batches. I think it's all in vain. I'll beat up every one of these people I see!"
The waiter was sweeping the floor with his head down. When he heard the shopkeeper's curse, he pretended not to hear it, knowing that the shopkeeper was angry and had no choice but to let it go.
The shopkeeper just cursed a few times when he suddenly heard a shout from outside the door: "Get in!"
"Oh!!"
I saw a person rolling in and crawling on the ground. The shopkeeper took a closer look and saw that it was Lai Shapi who had just left.
Before the shopkeeper could understand what was going on, a group of people walked in from outside the door. These people were neatly dressed in black clothes and had axes on their waists. At first glance, they were members of the Yixing Gang.
"The shopkeeper comes out!"
Hearing the roar from the leader, the shopkeeper was so frightened that he hurriedly walked out from behind the counter.
"Take it, from now on you know your business in Xingtang, and our Yixing Gang will protect it. If anyone dares to come to collect rent, break his legs!"
The visitor took out the money that Lai Shapi had just snatched and put it on the table. He patted the bewildered shopkeeper on the shoulder and said, "You are lucky. My grandpa values you very much."
The shopkeeper looked at the money in his hand and felt flattered, but the visitor took Lai Shapi and left without waiting for him to ask.
Now the shopkeeper started to feel a little unpredictable.
It was not until noon that the shopkeeper came, which was even more confusing. The Qing Gang came again, but they were not looking for trouble, but refunded the money and returned all the rent they had charged him before, and said that they had not known about their relationship with Mr. Du before.
If you have a relationship, I promise not to harass you again in the future.
"Master Du, who is Master Du??"
The shopkeeper became even more confused when he heard this and hurriedly asked.
As a result of asking, I found out that Mr. Du is the new grandpa of the Yixing Gang, and Mr. Du has the final say in the rules of the New Territories from now on.
The shopkeeper was shocked by these words. After they left, he hurriedly asked the waiter to go out and inquire.
When I inquired about it, I found out that just last night, the whole New Territories changed.
The reputation of To Ye of the Yixing Clan has spread throughout the New Territories.
He entered the tea formation alone and forced Hong Sheng Hui, He Sheng He and the Qing Gang to bow their heads at Hong Tai Lou. From then on, Master Du's rules were the rules in the New Territories.
When the guy heard this, he just wondered if he had heard it wrong. Although the Yixing Gang was strong, it was not that strong.
The waiters in the teahouse were well-informed. Seeing that he didn't believe it, they couldn't help but look at him with disdain: "My hands and eyes are all over the sky. Those high-ranking foreigners all want to look at Mr. Du's face. Yesterday, the foreign rifle team moved. They fired with bang bang, but no one was there."
Dare you dissent."
Hearing what the waiter in the teahouse said, everyone also thought of the gunfire they heard yesterday.
When the pharmacy clerk came back and told the shopkeeper, the shopkeeper was in a state of panic. He didn't expect that there was such a person in the New Territories.
"Hey, do you know the origin of this Mr. Du?"
The clerk nodded: "I asked and heard that this Mr. Du came to the New Territories just two days ago. His name seems to be... Du... Du Nan'an."
"Du Nan'an..."
The shopkeeper muttered that this person's name sounded familiar to him, but for a while he couldn't remember when he had seen such a person.
After thinking carefully for a long time, the shopkeeper lowered his head and walked to the counter and glanced at the abacus, "Pah!" The shopkeeper suddenly slapped his head: "Oh, it turns out it's him."
The shopkeeper finally remembered this person who was supposed to come to Zhixingtang to calm things down, but he didn't expect that his arrival would turn the entire New Territories upside down.
Thinking of this, the shopkeeper quickly put down the money in his hand and called to the waiter: "Stop packing, quickly prepare a big gift and come with me!"
"Hey, shopkeeper, where are we going??"
"Go and see Mr. Du. As I said, the person invited by the boss can't be an ordinary person."
The shopkeeper was very excited and knew that whether his family could establish a firm foothold in the New Territories in the future would all depend on Master Du's mood.
"Grandpa, drink tea!"
A Bin brought the tea cup to Xu Tong. Although he was a member of the Yixing Gang, A Bin knew that all this was given by Mr. Du in front of him. If Mr. Du can give it, he can also take it back.
So in front of Master Du, Abin always had to remind himself not to forget Master Hu's fate.
"In the past, you were free to do whatever you wanted, and I didn't care. But recently, you have left me some news about the New Territories, especially the Japanese people, so I can keep an eye on you for some tricks."
"Japanese people..."
A Bin nodded: "There are many Japanese people in the New Territories, but they are more concentrated in Tsim Sha Tsui, so this matter is easy to handle."
Tsim Sha Tsui is home to most of the Japanese chambers of commerce. These chambers of commerce are very honest and generous in renting anything on weekdays.
So it's not difficult at all to keep an eye on them.
After Xu Tong gave his instructions, he was about to say something when someone walked in and said, "Grandpa, Cai Fu, the shopkeeper of Zhixingtang, is here."
"Oh, it came so soon."
Xu Tong nodded and signaled A Bin to bring them in.
"Oh, Mr. Du, you can make it easy for me to find you. I didn't see you at the dock last time, and I couldn't eat anything in the past two days."
As soon as Cai Fu entered the door and saw Xu Tong sitting on the sofa, he immediately walked forward with his hands crossed and an excited expression.
"Oh, I went the wrong way and got off the boat early!"
Xu Tong stood up and nodded. Although what he said was very true, the smile on his face full of sinisterness also looked particularly fierce.
For a moment, even though Cai Fu was mentally prepared, he felt a little guilty.
As soon as the two of them were seated, Xu Tong said bluntly: "I have been taken care of by the boss of your Zhixingtang. I will remember this favor in my heart. If you have any problems in the future, you can come to me. I will take care of those who can!"
"
"Yes, yes, thank you Master Du. I feel relieved after your words."
Cai Fu nodded repeatedly, and even took out a prepared gift, a hundred-year-old Polygonum multiflorum root. This was Boss Cai's little thought.
Xu Tong was not polite and took the medicine directly, and once again assured Cai Fu that no matter whether it was black or white, no one would make things difficult for Zhixingtang in the future, so that he could do business with confidence and boldness.
With Xu Tong's repeated assurances, Cai Fu finally felt relieved.
"Ding! Main mission 1: Zhixingtang completed!"
"You have completed the identity task, received a very high rating, and received a privilege reward!"
"You get a privilege reward, coordinator!"
Privilege Coordination: Your team, including yours, can receive important reminders about alliance missions in advance.
"You have completed the identity mission and unlocked team channels, team warehouses, team skills and other privileges."
"The alliance mission has been started. You can get points by completing the alliance mission. Please check it yourself for details!"
At this time, Xu Tong's prop book began to sound prompts. It seemed that his identity task had been overfulfilled.
Although there was a slight discrepancy between this process and the task introduction, Xu Tong was still very satisfied with the results.
At least I don't need to be a janitor in Zhixingtang, being ordered around by the chubby shopkeeper Cai.
Seeing that Mr. Du in front of him seemed to be in a good mood, Boss Cai hesitated for a moment, opened his mouth, but still didn't say anything.
Xu Tong noticed that Boss Cai was hesitant to speak, so he just picked up the teapot in his hand and drank heavily without any intention of asking, just to see how long Boss Cai could endure it.
As expected, seeing Mr. Du in front of him looking so careless, Boss Cai could only bite his head and said proactively: "Master Du, there is one more thing I want to ask you for help with!"
"Our boss got a batch of antiques in China not long ago. You also know that the current domestic environment is too chaotic. The boss wants to send this batch of antiques over. I am worried that something will go wrong, so..."
"So you want to ask me for help?"
"Yes, yes, these cultural relics are the treasures of our Chinese people, left behind by our ancestors. It would be a pity if they were destroyed."
Cai Fu nodded repeatedly. In fact, this was the purpose of the boss sending Du Nanan to Hong Kong.
I just didn't expect that things would change so quickly. I waited at the pier for a whole day but didn't see Du Nanan. When I met him, he was already the arrogant Du Ye in the New Territories.
The identity changes between the two before and after are completely two completely different attitudes.
"Okay, time and place, I will personally take over this matter for you."
Xu Tong raised his brows slightly and nodded in agreement without saying a word. The reason why he was so bold was because the reminder sound came from the prop book.
Alliance Mission 1: Escort National Treasure
Mission requirements: Escort the national treasure into the port and protect the safety of the national treasure.
Successful mission: extra points for all members.
Mission failed: 20% of alliance points will be deducted
(Privilege Coordinator: There are a lot of arowanas and fish at the pier. You may be able to check it out in advance and you may get unexpected harvests.)
Different from those missions in normal times, this mission is an alliance mission. It seems that besides myself, there will be others involved. Of course, there will inevitably be enemy and alliance players.
This inevitably made Xu Tong still feel a little hungry and thirsty.
He also wanted to know the strength of these alliances and the strength of the enemy alliances he faced.
"Okay, okay, tomorrow night at three o'clock in the morning, we will meet you at the pier."
When Cai Fu saw Xu Tong's promise, he quickly agreed on the time and place. After what needed to be said, Cai Fu wisely stood up and left.
"Abin, send Boss Cai off for me!"
After Xu Tong signaled A Bin to see off the guests, he called out the props book.
I saw an extra page of points table in the prop book.
This is the alliance points table. Although we are an alliance, everyone's performance is different. In the end, you will receive corresponding rewards based on your points ranking.
When I looked at it, I saw that there were already two people's names on it. One was called Tie Shou and the other was Guo Xiang. What fake names.
After the code names of the two people, there is a number each, one is 300 points, the other is 200 points, which should be the so-called alliance points.
Xu Tong took a cursory look at the rules next to him.
Completing alliance tasks and personal tasks will earn points. The higher the points, the higher the reward after final calculation.
At the same time, if the scenario world ends this time, when determining victory or defeat, the overall alliance points will be used as the calculation standard.
The loser with a low score will be deprived of the confrontation rewards in this scenario world even if he completes the personal task, and can only obtain a small part of the personal rewards.
There is a very interesting rule here. If you kill an enemy allied player, you can get all the points from the enemy allied player.
The rules seemed fine, but Xu Tong looked at them for a moment and only saw two words: "Bloody!"
The rules of this game are complete and are designed to encourage players on both sides to fight at all costs.
It almost eliminates the possibility of players from both sides joining forces.
This inevitably reminded Xu Tong of the gladiatorial arena in ancient Rome, and they were the protagonists in this gladiatorial match. But he was very curious, who were the spectators in this gladiatorial match?
"Ding, please enter your identity code!"
At this time, the prompt from the prop booklet came again, and Xu Tong habitually sent the name of an acquaintance, Li Bo.
But then I thought about it, this guy Li Bo had already joined the team.
Well, we can't let this guy find out that he has always done bad things in his name, which is not conducive to team harmony.
Thinking of this, Xu Tong changed his name to Tong Yanwuji.
After inputting, his ranking also appeared on the standings, and as soon as he entered the rankings, he directly obtained 500 points. The latecomers came to the top and simply left the two people on the rankings far away.
Obviously, these five hundred points should be related to the evaluation of your identity mission.
There are only three people on the standings now, and Xu Tong estimates that the others have not completed their identity tasks.
"Grandpa, let me do this kind of thing tomorrow night."
A Bin walked back from the door at this time, wanting to seize the opportunity to show off his abilities.
However, Xu Tong took out the cigarette stick from the props book and put some shredded tobacco on it. Abin immediately brought the match forward. Only after Xu Tong blew out a puff of smoke did he hear Xu Tong whisper: "No, this is
Don't get involved, I have another thing to tell you!"
As he spoke, he whispered a few words in A Bin's ear, and A Bin immediately became happy when he heard this: "Don't worry about this, murder and arson are my specialty..."
At the same time, on the pier on the other side, a young man and woman were walking leisurely on the river bank.
The man was wearing a MiG suit and a watch. He had his head parted in the middle and looked like a rich man.
The woman next to him is wearing a light yellow dress, with short black hair, almond eyes and willow eyebrows. She is dressed like a new era woman, adding a bit of heroism.
The two of them walked along the edge of the pier, looking like a golden boy and a beautiful girl, causing pedestrians on the roadside to look sideways from time to time. Even the workers on the pier would inevitably show envy when they saw the two.
But they only dare to envy, but they don't dare to have any delusions.
"500 points, this guy has completed several tasks, how come the points rise so fast??" The woman looked at the points ranking in the prop book, and her mouth turned into an O shape.
"It's not surprising, maybe it's because his degree of completion is relatively high."
The man was not surprised by this, but joked: "I hope it's a big thigh, and we can have fun and relax."
The woman was a little unconvinced: "Is it difficult to say that the identity mission is difficult? It is not easy to say that it is easy. If it is just an identity mission and it reaches 500 script points, then it is too unreasonable."
After saying that, he couldn't help but complain: "I was only given 300 script points for my task. I feel very perverted. Oh my God, the students here still have to take the Chinese Studies test. If you hadn't secretly helped me, I might not have even given the task."
Want to finish."
The woman thought of her identity and mission and cried out that she was unlucky. She thought it would not be difficult to play the role of a student, but an entrance exam almost confused her. Who knows that in this outdated era, school exams are even worse than the real college entrance exam?
Disaster.
"Thanks to the props before entering, our identities were bound together, and there was no big gap."
The man shouted that he was lucky, and at the same time complained: "But I am really not used to the role of this rich young man."
As they were talking, the two of them were walking away from each other. Little did they know that as soon as they left, a man on the pier below raised his head with resentment and muttered cursingly: "Bah, damn, a rich man can't even act, so he might as well be."
Let's change it, I deserve to be a donkey messenger!"
"Coolie Qiang, what are you muttering about? Hurry up, there are still a few shipments of goods ahead."
"Hey, okay, come here, come here!"
Coolie Qiang had a smile on his face, and he had already sworn in his heart that he would kill the supervisor first when he completed his identity mission.
The supervisor had no idea who he had offended. He was still cursing and greeting the coolie family, but when he turned around, he showed an understanding smile on his face.
"Ouch, Brother Can!"
Several people in gray police uniforms looked over from a distance. The supervisor immediately stepped forward and quietly handed over a thick stack of silver coins.
Seeing the silver dollars delivered to him, the police officer, who was called Brother Can, naturally put the money into his pocket: "Do your job well and don't make trouble!"
"Okay, okay, don't worry, I can cover this place!"
"Um!"
Brother Can nodded, looked around the pier, and then led the people away. As he walked, he muttered to himself: "It looks like being a cop is not bad, but I don't know where my head is now. I don't care.
The boss said, just let me play my role honestly."
Li Bo made up his mind and led his people to continue looking for oil and water from house to house. He would be greedy and take whatever he could, and his life was quite enjoyable.
After strolling along the street for a long time, Li Bo already had a lot of chicken, duck and fish in his hands, and of course there was a bulging money bag.
It was a really comfortable life.
“Boss!! Wonton noodles”
After walking all the way down, Li Bo was also tired. When he looked around, he saw the noodle shop in front of him and immediately sat down with a group of people.
When the boss saw this, he could only scold himself with a grimace and secretly cursed himself for being unlucky, then picked up the wonton noodles and sent them over.
Although the noodles are simple, the ingredients are very sophisticated. Thin-skinned wontons with large fillings, three fat and seven thin, chicken broth, salt, light soy sauce, fish sauce, pepper, sesame oil are boiled over high heat and poured into the noodles.
The fragrance is attractive.
Although the noodles looked as thin and soft as instant noodles, Li Bo could no longer suppress his appetite and was about to enjoy it while holding the bowl when he suddenly reached out with a hand and took the noodles away from his face.
"Oh, who are you fucking with?"
Li Bo blinked when he saw this, slapped the table and stood up. When he looked up, he saw a big and fierce face staring at him with a smile. Li Bo's aura suddenly dropped by three points.
But when the other party spoke again, Li Bo felt ecstatic in his heart, and saw the big man in front of him grinning at him: "Fat Li, I just like your arrogance!"
