Gunfire, Punk & Necromancers

The master concentrates on teaching Gegong, Dao, sword and martial arts. Not only can Zhuang Xuteng not be able to attend, but he is also dragged by Lucy to do voluntary labor.Although mercenaries don't do anything unless they are paid, it is their duty to be busy for Master's retirement ceremony.

The ritual is called washing hands with the golden basin, which is actually a gold-plated copper basin.This kind of retirement ceremony is not only used by mercenaries, but also by some gangs, and the process is similar.A group of people get together, eat, brag, fight if there is something to do, and leave as soon as there is nothing to do.Lucy believes that the simpler the process, the better, and the less words the better, so as to avoid unnecessary complications.

Whether it's a mercenary or a middleman, who doesn't want to have a good ending?But there is a characteristic of this business: helping some people often offends others.Tasks with high fees are difficult, and the more difficult tasks either offend more people, or offend stronger people, it has always been like this.

It's okay to offend a colleague, but at worst, I'll help him today, and I'll help you tomorrow, try to go back and make up for it.They are all colleagues, and everyone wants to have a good death, as long as it is not a blood feud, it will be easy to resolve.The trouble is actually offending outsiders, especially big corporations, who sometimes try to get back at whatever cost.

In fact, holding a golden basin handwashing conference is to hope that colleagues can take care of each other.It is a great favor for everyone to meet each other and get to know each other. If you can tip off the news or let people avoid the storm a little, it is a great favor.Favors are not in vain, even if the retirees don't come back, don't they still have apprentices?Zhuang Xuteng and Ge Gongdao can make a name for themselves, and they can return favors, whether they are positive or negative.The stronger they are, the more middlemen and mercenaries will look up to them, which is the best support for the Strangers.

The task that Lucy gave to Zhuang Xuteng was to keep an eye on the venue, to keep an eye on anyone with a skeptical attitude.The location of the retirement ceremony was arranged in the music restaurant, which was Lucy's territory, and it was easier to control the scene.Chefs, security guards, and the band are all Lucy's people, so you can use it with confidence.

Even if they are all on their own, as a commissioned task, Zhuang Xuteng's deep participation is still very necessary.He represents the interests of the Stranger and is an integral part of the ritual.Zhuang Xuteng was also unambiguous, inspecting the venue with a very dedicated spirit, constantly reviewing every detail, and by the way searched out the shadows of Lucy buried in every corner from the monitoring devices and alarm devices.

"How did you find it? If you turn over again, my base will be dismantled..." Lucy put her head in her hands and said helplessly to Zhuang Xuteng, "What did Ge Gongdao do? Hurry up and ask him to take your place."

Zhuang Xuteng expressed his understanding to Lucy, but before Ge Gongdao completed his special training, he would still use his shadow eye to search for targets, which is called conscientiousness.The special training lasted for a week, and Famine Stranger came to the music restaurant in a car driven by Ge Gongdao.For the last three days before the ceremony, he will live in the restaurant, along with his two apprentices.

Ge Gongdao walked in with a tired face, nodded to everyone, waved to Zhuang Xuteng, and then went straight to the bar.He ordered two big meat set meals, made himself a glass of ginger beer, and then slumped in the booth in the corner.

"What's the matter with you?" Zhuang Xuteng first sent the master to the upstairs residence, and then walked towards Gegong Road with a smile.He patted Brother Dao's leg with the attitude of seeing the joke. Judging from the strength of the feedback, Brother Dao was absolutely exhausted. "How did you train? Didn't you use dormant martial arts to recover? Don't all the mice die?"

"It's all dead, it was two days ago, I was almost exhausted." Ge Gongdao shook his head, and handed the empty beer glass to Zhuang Xuteng: "Go get me another glass, I'll tell you something .”

After Zhuang Xuteng came back, Ge Gongdao took another sip of beer, hiccupped hard and tapped his chest, and said, "I finally understand what sword dance is and why I can't teach it to you. It's a skill that needs to be re-established." The process can only be practiced after seven flashes. And the conditioned reflex it establishes is different from normal people. Most of it is reversed. It needs the special usage of Qingquan to cooperate. You are right not to learn sword dance-whether it cooperates or not The effect of combining with Qingquan is much worse. It is about three times or one-third of the normal seven flashes."

"The gap is so big?" Zhuang Xuteng was shocked.

Ge Gongdao nodded.He took the double meat sauce set meal from the waiter, put it on the table first, and said after the people left: "If you want to exert the power of sword dance, you must use the clear spring as a part of your body, so that the whole person The conditioned reflex in close combat needs to be re-arranged. Master has experimented, and replaced it with a sword with the same shape instead of Qingquan. His strength has also dropped significantly, and it should be weaker than Qishan who does not use sword dance at all. He believes that sword dance martial arts It’s a very unorthodox thing, extremely pursuing power without considering applicability, it’s completely understandable if I choose not to pass it on.”

Zhuang Xuteng scratched his head and said, "I don't think there are so many picks and picks, it's pretty good to be able to generate enough power. Master has changed from an ordinary person to a master who can compete with the company. He must devote himself to sword dance martial arts I put a lot of effort into it, but I can't let it go away."

"I think so too." Ge Gongdao filled a few mouthfuls of rice with meat sauce with a spoon, swallowed it whole and breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Master set the standard at the beginning, whoever arrives at Qishan first will learn this martial skill. In addition to our progress, he has another purpose: to see which of us is smarter. He hopes that those who learn sword dance can improve this martial skill, make its upper and lower limits more stable, and it is best not to rely on clear springs. Or retreat Secondly, even if it is not as good as Qingquan, it is fine if you can use other weapons to display the power of martial arts. Naike, this smart person should be you."

"Pull it down, it's good for you to be a senior brother." Zhuang Xuteng shook his head and said, "I prefer to deal with enemies from a distance. If I can use grenades, guns, and weird spells, I try not to get into melee combat. Besides, I usually I don’t pay attention to boxing and swords, and I have no idea about improving martial arts. You work hard on your own, and I will be a training partner at most.”

"Whether it's me practicing or you as a training partner, it will have to wait until after Seven Flashes. If you don't smooth out all the original conditioned reflexes, you can't practice new martial arts. Now I just memorized all the content of martial arts and kept deepening. Memory, nothing else can be done. Master is right about one thing: this martial skill is very weird."

"Then you should practice hard. If you don't practice well, you may not be able to beat me. Uh...you won't use Qingquan when we practice, right? If you don't use Qingquan, are you sure you can't beat me?"

"Oh, there is a possibility." Ge Gongdao sighed, shook his head, and said, "Let's talk about it at that time! If I can't beat you, it's a spur to me. Anyway, as long as I can get the Qingquan to be stronger than you. In the enemy In front of you, senior brother will protect you."

"Okay, just keep your mouth shut! Stop bragging and eat quickly! After dinner, take over my shift. I stayed here for a week, but it suffocated me." Zhuang Xuteng waved his hand to let Ge Gongdao fill his stomach. Stomach, he huddled in the booth and meditated.

The sword dance martial skill relies more heavily on the Qingquan long sword than imagined. If the lower limit is [-]%, seven flashes may not be able to defeat six flashes.Although Qingquan has never disappointed Master, but there is only one weapon, so it is a hidden danger anyway.

It would be great if there was a second spring... Zhuang Xuteng thought of Boss Qian, a black market businessman, he seemed to be able to buy exactly the same thing.Zhuang Xuteng waited for Brother Dao to finish his meal, and entrusted him with the task of guarding the venue. He left the music restaurant and came to the black market under the pretext of going out to let the wind go.He waited outside the Black Flag grocery store for Boss Qian to finish receiving the previous customer before walking in.

"Long time no see. Aren't you preparing for your master's golden basin handwashing ceremony? Why do you remember me here? Do you want to buy something?" Boss Qian asked Zhuang Xuteng to sit down while wiping the table with a rag.

"The long sword Qingquan used by my master, can you get a second one?" Zhuang Xuteng asked.

Boss Qian stared wide-eyed and asked, "Did you lose your master's sword?"

"No! Why are you talking nonsense... Can you get a second one, just say this!"

"Yes, as long as it is not the only thing in the world or beyond the rules of the world, you can get it in theory, it depends on the price." Boss Qian raised his hand and tapped it in the air a few times.He stared at the air, his eyes were a bit complicated, and he had a crooked expression: "Qingquan, a high-level shadow weapon, the copy price: 30 euros plus a fate gold coin."

Zhuang Xuteng had a gold coin of destiny, he nodded and said, "30 euros is not expensive, it is very suitable for shadow follower."

"Wait, don't say you want to buy one, lest it won't be suitable if the deal is real." Boss Qian stopped Zhuang Xuteng and said, "Listen to me, destiny gold coins are very precious, and you don't spend them if you can. Let's talk about Qingquan." , it’s not a unique item in the world, it’s just very rare—this one was actually made—and most of its value is here. It can also be made, and it has the same function, but it’s not a clear spring.”

Zhuang Xuteng frowned and asked Boss Qian to explain clearly.

"If you want a second spring, then you have two options: I will give it to you directly now, so that there are two identical springs in the world, and the price is 30 euros plus a destiny gold coin. If the existing spring is gone, the new spring It is the only clear spring in the world, and the price is 380 million euros.” Boss Qian said, “I checked, and if you don’t want a clear spring, it’s just one with the same function—there’s a difference in appearance, but only those who are familiar with it can detect it— — that’s only two million euros.”

Zhuang Xuteng understood, the more unique the more expensive, unique is the most expensive, you have to use destiny gold coins to turn the unique into a pair.He thought about it carefully, then suddenly smiled, and said, "You are really a profiteer! If you can sell clear springs, can you repair them?"

"Uh... it can be repaired. The repair price depends on the degree of damage. It is more expensive to completely restore it, but if you only restore the function, it will definitely be much cheaper than buying one." Boss Qian pinched his nose, highlighting an innocent, and continued to defend: "I was only thinking about buying and selling, and I really forgot about repairs."

"As long as it can be repaired." Zhuang Xuteng was relieved, and then he had an idea, and asked, "Do you sell the repair method of Qingquan's sword?"

Boss Qian covered his forehead and nodded painfully: "You can buy it. If only those who own the clear spring can understand it - this is also the most economical way - the maintenance method only costs [-] euros."

"I'll buy a set." Zhuang Xuteng said with a smile: "Can you guarantee that the users of Qingquan can understand it?"

"I can definitely understand it. I can also tell you that you can find maintenance tools on the market, so don't waste money on the black market. But the materials needed for maintenance are hard to find. You'd better come to me for repairs."

"I understand, I will come to you if I need anything. In fact, if you can open these services to Brother Dao, you don't need me to run around."

Boss Qian shook his head and said, "I'm still not authorized, so I can't tell him the truth about the store. If you tell him what happened here, I can only deny it and it will affect your service, so you'd better not do that." Dry."

Zhuang Xuteng nodded and said, "Understood, I will respect your rules. By the way, Boss Qian, you know that my master is going to retire. He arranged for his life after retirement, but I want him to be more secure. You here Is there anything relevant to keep him safe?"

Boss Qian laughed, shook his head slowly, and said, "Security is a good commodity, but the best one doesn't exist. No, the kind of thing you mentioned doesn't exist. No matter how many fortune gold coins you spend, you can You can’t buy a guarantee of safety. But what you can buy is a safe means, such as a good fake identity. Surely Famine Stranger will use a fake identity after he retires? His original information is all in the middleman, even if he uses it back OK, but you're still bound by a middleman, right?"

"I don't know about this, even if I know, I can't say it. Answering yes or no will be detrimental to my master."

"Understand, fully understand. But I suggest you buy a fake identity as a backup, in case you need it, right?" Boss Qian said, "A package includes a disguise mask, a set of identity information, and a clean bank account. You can Use it to evade inspection. There are also such services on the black market, but they are all dead people, or addicts who choose to sell their identities. It is not safe. The information sold by White Flag grocery store is good, generally Inspections can handle it.”

Zhuang Xuteng became interested.Besides being a master, Dr. Booker also needs a set of messages. "What's the level of this general inspection?"

"If you want to get to the bottom of it, trace all the social relationships of a person, you can always find out the problem. This general inspection is to check the basic information, do a physical examination, and make a few phone calls... This level of investigation will not reveal the problem. This kind of The service of false identity is charged according to the length of time, [-] a year. After the time limit expires, the identity can still be used, but there is no follow-up service.”

Zhuang Xuteng asked about the service content in detail, and bought a seven-year service for Master and a one-year service for himself and Booker.He wanted to buy one for Brother Dao, but Brother Dao's figure was so recognizable, and his identity other than a mercenary was public, Boss Qian kept repeating: "If you buy it, it's probably for nothing."

"You and Brother Dao are both mercenaries. You are holding a fake identity not for retirement, but because you want to pass the inspection. You don't have any special features, and the fake identity is easy to use, but Brother Dao..." Boss Qian insisted Don't let Zhuang Xuteng waste money in vain.

But Zhuang Xuteng was very insistent, he thought it was better to have something than nothing.Anyway, a fake identity is a cloth bag with a fitted mask inside, an ID card, a driver's license, and a bank card.Anyway, as long as the identity is bought, it can be used after one year, but the farther the distance is, the bigger the problem may be.The so-called service period is actually to keep the identity active during this period, such as some consumption records, some social activity records, some unimportant driving violation fines and so on.These records support the authenticity of the false identity, and there will be no more after the number of years.

Based on this consideration, he felt that the one-year status of himself and Brother Dao was enough, as long as he could meet the needs of special tasks.If you really want to use it again after one year, you will have to buy a new one or renew it.The situation of Booker is even more sufficient. He came out with a false identity. As long as he continues to use it, it is actually the same whether it is postponed.As for Master's share, he had to buy a long-term one. After all, Master might not be able to use it at all, and he also hoped that Master would not need to use this false identity.

It was a worthwhile trip, and Zhuang Xuteng's brain was opened after he understood the principle that rare things are more expensive and why they can be bought.He wanted to buy teaching materials for shadow follower spells, but was told that he would need to spend gold coins of fate.

Faced with Zhuang Xuteng's question, Boss Qian could only confess: "I don't know why. It stands to reason that textbooks are precious, and they don't need destiny gold coins. At most, they can be exchanged for gold, mithril, etc. This world has its own It's so weird, shadow devices, shadow implants, and shadow spells are considered extremely rare and cannot be sold. I can buy and sell shadow guns in the black market and let you make shadow guns, but I just can't Made at White Flag Grocery. I've been trying to figure this out, and maybe when I figure it out, I can get out of here."

"Are you going?"

"Please allow me not to expand. This is like one of your entrusted tasks: the content needs to be kept secret." Boss Qian shook his shoulders and said, "This involves cross-world issues, which are too complicated."

Zhuang Xuteng had an idea and asked, "Are there teaching materials for Necromancy in the Shadow Realm?"

"I'll check." Boss Qian muttered while he was busy: "This world is so expensive, and the cross-world ones must be more expensive. I must ask again but not buy... Okay, I found it, and the price is [-] euros. Request Paying in gold...why is it so cheap?"
