Gunfire, Punk & Necromancers

Chapter 25 Chapter 24
"Sister Lucy, are you afraid that if I get the money, I will spend it all as soon as I go out?"

Lucy picked up the cigarette case from the table in front of her, took out one and weighed it between her fingers, then nodded and said, "Yes."

"You don't need to worry about this, the money actually has a new owner." Zhuang Xuteng said: "I haven't paid the rent for the second half of the year, and there is still a gap of about 800 euros; my sister needs 1250 euros for tuition; the food downstairs shop, second-hand clothing store and pharmacy, I still owe about 400 euros. You see, I have not left my sister with living expenses, and I have already lost 2500 euros.”

"It's 2450 Euros, to be precise," said Lucy.

"She will be doing an internship soon. I hope she can bring more money with her. One thousand euros should be enough. I want to take her to have a good meal with the rest of the money and put it in the piggy bank at home. "

Lucy nodded again, and she lit her cigarette too.After taking a slow breath, she said: "It's good that you have such a plan, but it can be better. Well... Before I give you advice, I want to ask you first: Do you want to quit?"

"Exit? Sister Lucy, what does this mean?"

"Every mercenary who registers with me, after they complete the first entrusted task, I will ask whether they want to quit." Lucy said: "There are many dangers in this business, and life and death are very common. , Every task is like a gamble, and a smart person knows when to stop and quit."

Ge Gongdao licked his lips and smiled, and said, "Lucy, it's too disappointing for you to say this! Naike is very suitable for this job!"

"He might be a good fit for something else too. You're waiting for your big move, you want to get back on your feet and get to the top, but he's in the mercenary business just to get the money, pay the bills, settle the Trouble in front of you.” Lucy kicked Ge Gongdao’s calf lightly, then looked at Zhuang Xuteng and said, “You are lucky, you can solve the problem with only one entrustment. This is a good opportunity to quit, you should think about it carefully. think."

Zhuang Xuteng took a deep breath, closed his eyes and thought carefully.The working scene on the assembly line of the Magic Crystal Factory, the shock of being dismissed collectively, the confusion and helplessness of the night of 623, the excited and powerful heartbeat when performing tasks...

"I'm not quitting, I like being a mercenary."

Ge Gongdao smiled, with an expression of "I knew it would be like this".And Lucy... Lucy is wearing a mask, and no one knows what expression she has at the moment.Maybe she will be a little disappointed, but as an intermediary, she needs mercenaries to complete the commission, so she won't be really ecstatic because the mercenaries leave this business, right?

"Sister Lucy, are there many mercenaries who choose to leave at this time?" Zhuang Xuteng asked.

"There were only a few, and they were basically injured on the first commission, some physically, some mentally - they were terrified. People like that are not suitable for this job, even if they stay It’s impossible to stand out.” Lucy waved her hand, the cigarette traveled back and forth in the smoke, and the flame from the cigarette butt left a short bright trail like a shooting star.

"Are you ready to take my advice now?"

Zhuang Xuteng nodded.

"The current debt you have is 2450 euros. You should pay it all back, so you don't have to worry about it. Since you want to continue this business, you have to plan carefully for the remaining 1550 euros."

Lucy pointed at Zhuang Xuteng and said, "Even if I didn't say it, Brother Dao would say: You have to equip yourself. The best equipment is technology. You can't always leave the special column empty, can you? At the same time, For the same risk, if you have the skills, you can earn more commission fees, and you can better deal with emergencies. Don’t you think so?”

Zhuang Xuteng nodded earnestly. Sister Lucy's words were indeed on point.

"Generally, I would suggest that pure newcomers go to a boxing club to stay for a while and learn the skills of close combat. In a familiar club, the fee is about 500 Euros-but this is not suitable for you. You are different from Brother Dao, he Dare to work hard, willing to work hard, and you still miss your family in your heart, even if you can make a lot of money, you are not very good at accepting too dangerous commissions."

Zhuang Xuteng thought for a while and said: "I really don't like too dangerous entrustment, but I don't want to see Brother Dao facing the danger alone. If I help him by the side, the two of us may work together to reduce the degree of danger. Some."

"Brother Dao, the person you found is not bad, I suggest letting him train for real."

Ge Gongdao patted his thigh, smiled happily, and said, "Can my eyesight be bad?"

"You've only read it right a few times, so you can't count it as a good eye." Lucy turned to Zhuang Xuteng and said, "Nike, I suggest you attend PCPD's cram school."

Fortunately, I didn't drink any water, otherwise I might spit it out in one gulp.Zhuang Xuteng opened his mouth wide, his eyes were dull for a moment, he could hardly believe his ears.Although he had heard rumors that mercenaries often worked for PCPD, it was beyond his imagination for a mercenary to participate in PCPD!

"Indeed, this is a good way." Ge Gongdao chimed in and said, "PCPD often recruits people, and its income is somewhat attractive. Participating in cram schools can increase the possibility of being admitted."

"Isn't there a police academy?" Zhuang Xuteng asked.

"The police academy takes four years of courses, and there are many things to learn. The graduates can directly enter the PCPD. However, the number of these students is not enough to keep up with the number of PCPD deaths, so there must be additional supplements." Lucy said: "So They set a standard and directly recruit newcomers who meet the requirements, so there is a special fast training class. You can learn to drive, use electric batons, how to ask and report to your superiors, and you will also learn how to find suitable candidates bunkers, and intimidating passers-by."

Zhuang Xuteng sighed and said, "These are indeed the things PCPD is most proficient in."

"I know the tutor in the cram school, the tuition fee is 3 euros. If you add another [-] euros, he can teach you how to shoot a gun by the way. You can try it, at least feel it. Of course, his gun is not Monty Python [-] Such a good thing..."

"It won't be a good standard gun," Ge Gongdao said, "In other words, those guns will bite."

Lucy nodded and said, "The urgent course is only five days in total. He will tell you everything you need to learn and let you experience it, but it doesn't matter whether you learn it or not. You go there and remember everything as much as possible. Then practice on your own. The five-day course will set you back a thousand euros, which is not cheap, but good for a novice mercenary."

"Indeed, Lucy is right. You learn the basics first, and I can teach you how to fight! You can also practice shooting with my gun."

"The Python 3 is not suitable for beginners to practice guns." Lucy's tone was very affirmative, it seemed that she also knew a lot about firearms. "Nike, what do you think, do you want to study?"

"Sister Lucy, are there any other similar learning opportunities?"

"The PCPD's fire department has similar opportunities. The time is longer and the teaching is more careful, but it is more physical, which is not very useful for mercenaries-of course it is much cheaper. If you want to learn other things, such as camouflage If you want to become a superior person, or especially strengthen your driving skills, I can also find a teacher for you in the form of entrustment. But overall, the course of PCPD is the best."

Zhuang Xuteng shook his head and asked, "Is there any chance to learn from shadowwork?"

"Since you ask this question, then what you want is definitely not how to use the shadow follower, but to become a black mage?"

"What is a black mage?" Zhuang Xuteng asked.

"This is the name we often use. If it is in the company, it is the physique of the supernatural shadow-binding carrier, also known as the superhuman. The four top companies have their own methods of dividing superhumans. The names may also be slightly different, but it does not affect They understand transcendents."

"Some people are born with good physique, and they are more able to bear shadows and exert their power than others; some people need acquired training to gradually improve these abilities. No matter how this ability is exercised, it has six testing standards: The bright side three are load capacity, adaptability, and capability strength; the dark side three are development potential, compatibility speed, and use experience.”

Zhuang Xuteng pricked up his ears to listen carefully and remember carefully.

"Ordinary people don't have access to this kind of knowledge, but as long as they deal more with the company, they can still know some nouns." Lucy said: "Some gangs who secretly work on video slaves have also followed the company's standard, and they value compatibility and speed. and carrying quantity, so that the shadow slave can be processed faster and sold on the black market. This kind of person is called a chef."

"Actually, the company also has some special titles to distinguish the types of black mages—transcendents, and divide them into levels. Many types will have a restraint effect, but the final decision of the winner depends on the person, so don't trust the level .Companies like to grade and price everything and put everything in monetary terms, they..."

"Ahem!" Ge Gongdao interrupted Lucy, and said, "I'm talking about the study class now. Is there a chance to learn the black mage?"

"Are you kidding? You are not a newcomer, don't you understand the situation? There is no such class! No matter the company, the PCPD or the city government, they will not teach people to become black mages. Normally, you have to go to the company to test your physical fitness, Only when you meet certain standards and are willing to sell yourself can you be cultivated by the company. Naike, you'd better give up."

Zhuang Xuteng clearly showed disappointment on his face.

"Indeed, the normal way is useless, but what about the abnormal way?" Ge Gongdao patted Zhuang Xuteng's shoulder and said, "This Black Mage is not the name of the company itself. It can be called, which means..."

"I know what you want to say!" Lucy was obviously a little angry. She pressed the half of a cigarette that hadn't been smoked into the ashtray, and crushed it with the strength to resolve a deep hatred. "It is true that there are abnormal ways to learn the knowledge of black mages, but compared to PCPD courses, which one do you think is more important to Naike?"

"He likes it, the most important thing." Ge Gongdao smiled and explained: "If he has no partner and can only accept commissions by himself, he must go to PCPD's cram school, nothing to say! But now he wants to learn film and television. From knowledge, suffering from no access. I am his partner, we will act together and protect each other. Wouldn’t it be unfair if I knew you could solve this problem but didn’t say so?”

"You bastard!" Lucy took a deep breath and finally said, "There is indeed a way to learn, but there are risks."
