Chapter 11 Chapter 10 The Middleman
Chapter 11 Chapter 10 Intermediate
Zhuang Xuteng only needs to remember the beauty at first glance, so it will not affect his reputation in the hearts of the middlemen. However, he also admitted that although his memory ability is enough to satisfy the purpose of appreciating the beauty, he was still amazed by Lucy and almost couldn't help but look at it twice more.
Her figure is indeed very good. Not only is it convex and convex, but it is also on the middle line between nature and exaggeration. A silver yoga suit tightens her body, making her more lethal. It can be seen that her parents gave her a good foundation, and she herself is willing to perform careful and rigorous exercises, which gives her body a fatal charm that fully combines beauty, sexiness and agility.
Yes, fatal charm. Zhuang Xuteng carefully considered it. He believed that if he was attacked by Lucy, the only key to surviving was whether he could shout "Give up" in time.
It is indeed impolite to just look at the figure, but what else can this woman have to do if she doesn't show you the face? Even if she ignores the extra points and overall impression of her figure, just from the outline, her face is very delicate and has no difference in appearance, but is blocked by a metal mask. The surface of the mask is full of shinyness, with a very confusing and concealing effect, and it is very likely to be a shadow device. Although the mask leaves the mouth and eyes, the strange light cannot be seen clearly.
"You are that newcomer." It turns out that the mask can change the voice. Lucy was standing in front of Zhuang Xuteng, but her voice was erratic and distorted, as if coming from another place. "Gegongdao wants to register you as his partner, do you have any objection?"
"What are you asking?" Ge Gongdao touched him gently.
"Brother Dao, I have no objection." Zhuang Xuteng finished his routine answer and then returned to his silence. Since it is best not to focus on the figure of the middle man, he looked around and observed her residence.
This is an old standard apartment with a 60-square-meter room, one living room and one bathroom. The center of the living room has a sunken design and a circular sofa at the edge of the pit. This design was very popular at the time, but the sunken floor reduced the space for floor laying. Under the same rent, it was not as popular as Zhuang Xuteng's smaller apartments.
The three walls of the living room were occupied by shelves, one of which was filled with various magazines and comics, and the other two were occupied by handicrafts and models. Her "collections" were strange, many of which were outside the appreciation of most people. Some of them looked a bit scary, and they were probably from some underground organizations that should be banned. But what made Zhuang Xuteng speechless was not the aesthetic issue, but some things were price tags on them. You could tell at a glance that Lucy definitely didn't pay for it.
"It's a good quality, but not talkative, as long as it's a slow type." Lucy has been observing Zhuang Xuteng and commented: "The body and appearance are good, and there are no obvious characteristics, which is also beneficial for performing tasks. Brother Dao, you can't do it, it's so easy to recognize this."
"There are advantages and disadvantages, and the opposite is true." Brother Dao arched his arms and raised his biceps.
"Ha, you always have a way to explain." Lucy lit a cigarette for herself, took a sip, and slowly blew the smoke rings. Then she said to Zhuang Xuteng: "Newcomer, don't need to be so restrained. We two sit here and chat for a while. You can read the books on the shelf over there as you want. You can just take them in the refrigerator and take them, don't bore you."
Zhuang Xuteng nodded and expressed his gratitude, but still kept his mouth firmly closed.
"You should have worked together again. There are few tasks that a person can take on, and the risks are high, which is not cost-effective." Lucy held a cigarette and looked at Gogongdao in the lingering smoke.
But he raised another topic: "Is there any news about the Viper recently?"
"What do you want to know? Oh, it's still the same way. He didn't leave any mistakes when the commission had problems. He was obviously a cunning guy. If such a person betrayed you, he would be very careful about your revenge. Maybe he was digging a hole waiting for you. No matter whether he has new news or not, you shouldn't go to him." Lucy took a sip of cigarettes and said, "He is very popular now. He is a soldier valued by Fatty D. He has done a lot of tasks. It is said that he has a very close relationship with the Blood Bat Gang."
"If you hire a soldier, you shouldn't be mingling with the gang!"
Lucy nodded and said slowly, "I agree with your idea, but there are no rigid regulations in this industry, and there is no red line. No one will say anything when he is smooth sailing, and he will even protect him, so he can only wait. Besides, if you cause trouble for him, it will inevitably affect your money."
"That's a despicable villain! I've made me lose so much, and I almost did it in vain! He's still so glorious? Fuck!" Ge Gongdao snorted and said, "I'll make his true face public sooner or later, and make him pay the price for betrayal."
"Yeah." Lucy nodded, just about to continue the topic. At this time, Zhuang Xuteng walked up to her with a comic book, and asked, "Can you give this book to me?"
"Oh? Yes, just take it, just a comic book. Uh, by the way, how old are you this year? Why do you like to read this?"
"23." Zhuang Xuteng did not answer the question below, but just smiled and nodded at Lucy, saying, "Thank you."
"Thank you, no need. Your smile is good, I like it. Oh, don't get me wrong. When following, stalking, stalking and sneaking into a mission, a smile that can express kindness, be close but not particularly memory will be useful."
Zhuang Xuteng didn't know how to answer this question, so he scratched his head, turned around and left with a comic book.
Lucy stared at Zhuang Xuteng's back for a while. Seeing that he was focused on reading comics, he withdrew his gaze and continued to say to Gogongdao: "I said hello to Suoyu Ball, so I paid attention. There is such a job to take him to familiarize himself with the situation. I didn't ask you, so I made a decision to grab it. The specific situation of the target also needs to wait for the messenger's documents. I can tell you now that the time starts tonight, the construction period is 20 hours, and the reward is 10%. If there are detailed map information, there will be bonuses."
The so-called "one percent" in industry terms is one tenth of a platinum coin, which is equal to 500 euros.
"To take a look at 500 euros? Usually, this kind of life is only 100 euros a night. I feel a little strange. Who is this to deal with? It doesn't look like an ordinary mission. Lucy, are you sure this is suitable for novices?"
"I said that, I'm waiting for the specific situation. I can tell you one thing at the moment: this task is not reversed."
It is their jargon that there is no downward deduction. If the task fails, there will definitely be no compensation. If you do not need to provide additional compensation to the client at this time, it is called "no downward deduction".
Even if this task is difficult, as long as there is no downward deduction, at least it will not cause the hired soldiers' wallet to bleed heavily. Ge Gongdao was beaten back to the current situation similar to that of a newcomer because of a downward deduction failed. As for other pressures, such as personal risks and time costs brought by the task... Since you have chosen this industry, you should not have this little awareness.
"Lucy, do you know where the root of this commission is inserted into?"
Lucy threw a very obvious roll of eyes on Gogongdao's face, and the mask could not be covered. "Today I will tell you the information of other middlemen, and tomorrow you will leave me behind and become someone else's stupid wolf dog. The new man doesn't understand the rules, don't you understand either? Or do you don't want the middlemen to protect him?"
"Don't be angry, I said the wrong thing, I admit my mistake and accept the punishment."
"Your attitude is just a matter of course! It's not very satisfying to me." Lucy twisted the cigarette in her hand, put up her arms, and waved her long fingers between the two of them like a baton. She emphasized and said, "I have taken care of you a lot, right? This time there will be no exception. You forgot that bastard, put your mind on the entrustment, and do it steadily! You are still the wolf king!"
"I have said it many times. My family's bloodline is not a wolf, but a werewolf. In addition to wolves, there are also personal words." Ge Gongdao gritted his teeth and looked helpless again.
"Absolutely. If you have few personal characters, no one will think you are walking with four feet."
Lucy laughed. Her laughter should be nice, but the mask made it distorted and became a little hoarse and dry. Zhuang Xuteng leaned against the shelf and read the comics, while pricking up his ears to listen to the conversation here. He didn't understand how much "10%" is, but "500 Euros" really listened to it. Half the minute is 250 Euros, which can quench his thirst well for his financial situation. He must get the money!
Oh, by the way, there may be bonuses, that is more money!
How to do the task and how to deal with the situation, let Brother Dao worry first. He only needs to perform well and meet Brother Dao’s requirements. This is just like going to a factory to work. Newcomers should not only work hard, but also avoid working blindly. Only by being a good attitude and good abilities can they gain a foothold in the industry.
Unfortunately, today's performance cannot be perfect: he spoke without saying hello. But he really couldn't help it because of a sufficient and ulterior motive: he saw some patterns in the background of the comic book cover, which were very similar to the patterns on the stone pillars in his dream!
He has been trying to restore his dreams, his mind full of hazy impressions of stone pillar patterns, so similar graphics in comic books immediately touched his nerves and attracted his attention.
This series of comic books is called "The Detective Evans defeated the Three Witches", which costs one yuan per book. The printing quality and the content of the comics are both inseparable from the exquisiteness. The core is to use the method of flowing water to sell a large amount of pornography, violence and slap in the face. It does not require a brain to watch this thing, and it does not require contact with the previous and next texts. Basically, you can read it by arresting it. It will be pleasant to read it, highlighting a piece of time that can be used to pass the fragments.
Since the content is a repetitive routine, it needs to find ways to reduce the creation cost. When it is necessary to draw the background, it uses several sets of material libraries to paste directly, often repetitive. And there are patterns similar to those seen in Zhuang Xuteng’s dream.
Is this a coincidence? Or is it someone deliberately doing it? I don’t know. If the numbers or a small paragraph of text are exactly the same, the possibility is not small, and the order of a large number of patterns is exactly the same as the feeling, it would be too coincidental.
Zhuang Xuteng could come up with another possibility, which is that a painter dreamed of the same scene under the influence of the shadow, and then painted it as inspiration and stuffed it into the material library. Well... this sounds a bit incredible, but the possibility can finally be slightly greater.
No matter how it comes from, the patterns on comic books have a great inspiration for Zhuang Xuteng. In previous attempts, the graphics in the dream were like long-lasting memories, with only a very strong hazy feeling. If you want details, it is difficult to recall them separately and in detail. Now, he compared the patterns on the book, and the content on the stone pillars immediately became clear. Now, he can finally "wear glasses" to clearly view the dream!
