Gunfire, Punk & Necromancers

Chapter 294 Chapter 291 Luxury Lineup
"Why do you let those two guys follow you, but don't let me out? I think it's very unfair! Naike, continue to massage my head...why is it so comfortable?"

Meteor, like other migrant workers, is full of complaints about the sudden increase in workload.But unlike other migrant workers, she has few friends to complain about, maybe even Zhuang Xuteng alone, which makes her seem even more lonely.

Originally, she only needed to keep the secret and avoid the clues of the train theft from being discovered by the casino group, but now she suddenly had a big job: luring the Viper into the trap.This operation is very complicated, and it is necessary to deal with the intelligence of the Blood Bat Gang and the casino group at the same time, and also take Viper's character and status into consideration.

"Nike, do you know that Lucy asked me to coordinate... I am also responsible for assigning intelligence officers and creating safe and usable information channels for the two sisters upstairs. I want to protect my own safety, and You have to refer to their strength and character, this kind of thing that you have to work and beware of is never easy to do." Meteor continued to complain, and said: "These have already made my head big enough, but Lucy thank you Without saying anything, I was asked to arrange another information channel for another intelligence officer... My head is like being split open, and I have to pay attention to so many things at once."

Zhuang Xuteng was stunned for a moment, his hands didn't stop, and his voice was gentle, half consoling and half encouraging, and said: "Being able to be assigned so many tasks shows that we are good at Meteor and have that strength! But in this way, we can be regarded as four intelligence officers. Do you want to act together?"

"The two upstairs together count as one intelligence officer, but this can't be counted as four."

"Why not four?" Zhuang Xuteng kneaded Meteor's scalp with his hands, constantly sucking away the side effects of the shadow slave in the form of resentment, and said with a smile at the same time: "If you arrange the work of four people, that is more important than that." It takes more money to arrange three people, and more money is required, after all, the workload is greater! If Lucy doesn't give you more money, I'll go get it for you!"

Zhuang Xuteng was just talking, he would not ask Lucy for the money.Considering that this operation is to avenge Ge Gongdao, he will pay the money himself, and it won't be too much anyway.At the same time, Meteor is very grateful for Naike's concern, but she will not mention it to Lucy.She is a "child laborer" and has no wages at all, or her wages are all her mother's future inheritance, so she has never experienced the feeling of working too much and getting more money.Having said that, Meteor usually doesn't have to worry about spending money, Lucy will always settle the bill.

Meteor's current concern is not workload and salary at all, but Naike's attitude towards the two newcomers.Since they are both intelligence officers, Nightingale and Chaffinch put a lot of psychological pressure on Meteor.This is different from Morgana-Meteor knows that Morgana's family background is unusual, and she is a PCPD, and she is not the same as the mercenary.She firmly believed that Morgana and Naike could only be acquainted with each other, and they would definitely not be together in the end.But the two sisters are not necessarily.

"Nike, you have worked with the above two people before, what kind of character do you think they have? Do you have any weaknesses?" Meteor asked sideways.

"Uh... I can't say. I feel that their professional ability is not bad-I don't know what the intelligence officer will do and what kind of palliative measure they use. I can only say that they have completed the entrusted work well. In terms of personality... I think they are a little nervous, which is related to their history of being bullied by Steyer. I think give them a certain space to display, and then clearly explain what taboos cannot be done, and let them clarify their tasks Boundaries, they should be able to play well."

"Do you think they are easy to get along with?"

"It should be fine. Wait, are you going to meet them?" Zhuang Xuteng felt that there was something wrong with this, so he stopped what he was doing.

"Keep kneading and kneading." Meteor felt guilty, and reluctantly found an excuse to say: "I can't see them, I can only contact them by sending messages, so it is more difficult to understand their thoughts and status. This is different from face-to-face. Same, what do you think?"

"Oh, it turned out to be concerns in this area, I understand." Zhuang Xuteng smiled again, and said: "Give me a little advice: You don't have to think about building a good relationship, just focus on completing tasks. They have to do it first." Well done, then there is a need for further contacts. If you don't do well, you will be fired, why do you bother with the future?"

"That's right! I don't have much to do with people, so I'm a little worried. Once you say that, I understand." Meteor raised his hand, put it on the back of Zhuang Xuteng's hand, and pulled it down. "The back of your head feels uncomfortable, press this side again..."

The intensity of the implant can be measured by the amount of resentment. Meteor has a room full of maintenance equipment, and she spends a lot of time recuperating every day, but this still cannot prevent the accumulation of side effects. "It's hard work to be able to find you. This hard work is behind the scenes. Behind every successful action we have, it is never conspicuous, but it is equally important. Meteor, thank you."

"Hey, hard work is due. As long as the mission is successful and everyone is safe, it's all worth it." Meteor leaned back and let herself lie in Zhuang Xuteng's palm, which made her feel especially good. "In fact, collecting intelligence is not tiring. What is tiring is fighting against other intelligence officers, which is very brain-intensive. In fact, I have a very immature idea: when two intelligence officers meet, don't waste your brains. The scissors and the burden hammer decide Winners don’t get tired, and losers don’t lose money, how nice it is.”

"If the world can be like that, it's actually pretty good." Zhuang Xuteng rubbed for a while, feeling that he couldn't absorb the resentment, so he withdrew his hand and said, "Massage can only be like this. You'd better do some physical exercise at ordinary times." Exercise. Drink lots of water, sweat a lot, and clear your mind, that should ease the headache."

"Can you come and work out with me?"

Zhuang Xuteng scratched his head - am I here to be a bodyguard or a nanny? "For the sake of your health, you have to keep exercising yourself. Just for fun, or to find someone to supervise, as long as I am fine upstairs, then I can accompany you."

"Let's be like this for the time being!" Meteor knew that Zhuang Xuteng would not promise easily, and he would not leak when he spoke, so he was satisfied with the current result.

As Meteor begins to move, a luxury intelligence team is formed against the Viper.At first, Zhuang Xuteng thought it was four intelligence officers, but later he found out that Henry Henderson's intelligence officer also joined in, which formed a lineup of five intelligence officers.It was also through this incident that Zhuang Xuteng knew that Lucy actually had two long-term intelligence officers, and Meteor was only one of them.However, in the last man-in-the-middle war, it seemed that only Meteor was targeted, and there was no information about another intelligence officer.Either that intelligence officer hid it too well, or Lucy only increased the number of intelligence officers after that incident.

Zhuang Xuteng can feel that Lucy has expanded rapidly recently.Once after a war in the middle, where the winner swallowed most of the loser's inheritance, and once after Steyer was knocked out.Now when they go to the music restaurant, Zhuang Xuteng and Ge Gongdao can always meet some new faces. After asking the restaurant waiters, they know that they are new mercenaries, and some are unemployed mercenaries who want to come to Lucy to find a job.At the same time, some simple tasks, such as running errands, delivering goods, and standing in the yard, no longer look to Zhuang Xuteng.It's not because Zhuang Teng's social status is high, but because there are enough people.

In fact, Zhuang Xuteng doesn't pay much attention to social status, or he thinks social status is just an entry ticket to participate in big actions, not a reason to pick and choose jobs.He has always been very grateful to Lucy for giving him this job, so he doesn't pick jobs, running errands and delivering letters as a doorman, jobs that these "famous" mercenaries basically don't do, and he has no complaints.

If you don't work, you have to stay at home. After completing your physical fitness and martial arts training, you can read spell books and practice necromancy for the rest.If you perform tasks outside, your physical fitness must be reserved for the task, so you can only learn book knowledge.

The learning ability of the human brain is limited. No matter at home or outside, the total amount of knowledge that Zhuang Xuteng fills into his mind every day is only so much.Those simple tasks can usually be completed in a day or two, and it does not delay him in maintaining his physical fitness and improving his martial arts.So on the whole, whether it is at home or doing simple tasks, it will not affect his self-improvement.That being the case, why not make some extra money?

The only things that can really affect the improvement of training are complex tasks, such as stealing train cars, such as setting traps to deal with vipers.The number of intelligence officers used this time is already comparable to that of the treasure house compartment, which also reflects its difficulty and importance from the side.Zhuang Xuteng can understand where the importance comes from: Lucy's concern is not whether the Viper is dead or not, but whether the casino group can be weakened, and it is best to make it unable to stay in Peicheng.

Recently, there have been some rumors in the mercenary industry, mainly targeting various middlemen.The mercenaries are not satisfied with the industry situation in the past two or three years. Either the PCPD is looking for trouble, or they are beaten by the gardeners organization, or they fight among themselves to destroy stability and unity, or outsiders interfere with the market.This time, although it was not foreign middlemen and mercenaries who came to grab business, the casino group also caused a lot of inconvenience.Everyone just wants to make good money, form a balance between the inactive PCPD and the gangsters, and earn a simple hard-earned money.

The mercenaries hope that the middleman will create a stable operating environment, but most of their grievances are directed at the casino group.Those people searched, searched, and asked everywhere, intentionally or unintentionally sabotaging the actions of the mercenaries, which pushed up everyone's work costs.The casino group is defined as "annoying ghosts" by everyone, and the person who sanctioned the annoying ghosts becomes a hero.

The casino syndicate's misfortunes become public knowledge as an investigation into the theft of the Treasure Train takes place.In fact, in the mercenary industry, everyone is guessing who did it and how.And when there's no casino syndicate spying on them, they also toast to the anonymous heroes of their peers.According to Brother Dao, the nightclub where the mercenaries often come and go seems to have a special drink for this event, called Ten Bet Nine Loses, which seems to be a special cocktail of nine alcoholic drinks and one fruit juice.Zhuang Xuteng was quite interested, but he was afraid that it was some kind of bait, so he discussed it with Brother Dao and tried it after the limelight subsided.

The attitude of the mercenaries must not be hidden from everyone's middlemen. If the market is not calm and who loses the most, it is these middlemen.It's just that the power of a single intermediary cannot be compared with that of a casino group. Everyone can beat the dog in the water, but no one wants to be the bird who stands out, or the chicken who is killed when he warns the monkey.The middlemen in Peicheng are now wide-eyed, waiting and hoping that the situation will change, and they will make a move when the time comes.The wallet in the casino group's pocket has already been lost, and the stab wound in the belly is still not healed, but it can still show its teeth and claws.If it can give it a blow to the heart, then the income of the Divided Corpse Casino Group must be much greater than touching the wallet.

But one thing must not be forgotten: no matter who sees the status quo most clearly, it is the casino group itself.If you can find the thief and get back the stolen goods, then you can make up for it; if you can't, then you have to hold on to the shelf, rebuild everyone's confidence in it, and survive the difficult period.Under the guidance of this idea, they divided their actions in Peicheng into three parts:
First of all, we must rely on the investigative power of PCPD.Anyway, this is also a theft case, PCPD has to investigate.If the PCPD is not greeted well, there is no reason for people from the casino group to act in Peicheng.Of course, the PCPD's investigation ability is not much different from that of a blind cat, especially this incredible incident where the helicopter took away the carriage.Their lack of imagination is still a thousand miles away from flying. This way of thinking is wrong, and no matter how hard they try, it will be in vain, so they don't worry about it.

The second aspect is mercenaries, which are the groups that are truly capable of conducting investigations.If the casino group could afford the money, maybe the mercenaries and middlemen could really come up with something useful for him, but it was a pity that they didn't.The casino group lost so many things, their wallets were tight, and they were short of cash. They really couldn't help but hire middlemen who didn't see the rabbit or spread the eagle.In addition, these people were worried that the work of the treasure house carriages was done by locals, and they really didn't want to offend their colleagues or even trigger a middleman war, so they all gave it a perfunctory manner.

It is the gangs that really act. They have enthusiasm and manpower, but they don't have enough professional ability.Among them, the Blood Bat Gang danced the most. Who called the casino group to live in their control area?And gangs are not like mercenaries and middlemen who only value cash. As long as the future income of the casino is used as a condition, the gang members will also be enthusiastic and motivated.Cash has no protection for Fei Xiang, and the gang thinks they know the choice between "full meal or full meal".

When it comes to gangs, their level of investigation is indeed not enough, but their ability to seize territory by taking advantage of investigations is no problem, and it is very rich.Recently, the fights between the lower-level gangs have begun to increase, especially around the area that may become a casino in the future, and it has become very uneasy.There were beatings, smashing, burning, looting, gang fights and assassinations, and the siren of the PCPD kept ringing.The mercenaries nearby are also very busy recently, busy being scouts and meat shields for the PCPD.That is to say, Lucy stayed away from this kind of work, otherwise Zhuang Xuteng would have something to do every day.

Uh, he can't just say nothing and do nothing, just preparing for the meeting with the casino group is very complicated.Meteor led the intelligence officer to analyze the situation of the Casino Group, the Viper, and the Blood Bat Gang, and analyzed their respective demands, preferences, and personalities.Of course, the most important thing is how to mobilize them, what can and cannot be said, and how to control the information "just right". The doorway in this is quite troublesome.

Zhuang Xuteng couldn't imagine the workload in the background, he could only see what was in front of him.In order to prepare for the meeting with the person in charge of the operation of the casino group, Lucy specially found a teacher for him to train.This man was not a mercenary, but just happened to live in Peicheng after he was released from prison, and had a good relationship with Lucy and other middlemen.He used to be a psychiatrist and an outside employee of the anti-riot strike team, specializing in criminal psychological analysis and behavioral profiling.Later, he felt that it was not exciting enough, so he started to engage in fraud with his expertise, especially good at analyzing and deceiving others face to face.

He had a problem with the casino group, and it was the casino group that caused him to be arrested.He relied on observation and tricks, but when he met a casino group who relied on technology, he was framed in the casino game.From this point of view, his credibility is guaranteed, and Lucy relied on this to persuade him to come out of the mountain and teach Zhuang Xuteng some skills, so that this kid can reach the passing line.
