Gunfire, Punk & Necromancers

There was work again, and the group of four regrouped in Lucy's office, and Zhuang Xuteng did his part. He came early and was busy with alleviating the side effects of the implants for the two sisters, Nightingale and Rock Sparrow.After a while, Ge Gongdao arrived by car, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw Zhuang Xuteng with a strange smile on his face.

Ge Gongdao lowered his head to check his clothes, looked at his face in the mirror by the wall, and found nothing wrong. "Nike, why are you looking at me laughing? Did you take drugs? Did anything happen to you?"

What Zhuang Xuteng thought in his mind was that he had reached seven flashes and had a way to restrain his super-computing martial arts, so he would definitely find an opportunity to abuse the martial arts. It was an interesting scene to think about.But a mature person can't always satisfy himself with fantasies, he quickly restrained his smile, found an excuse to prevaricate, and joked: "Don't worry, I have no sexual interest or intention for you."

"That's good." Ge Gongdao straightened his jacket, sat down opposite Lucy and said to the business: "What mission is this time?"

"Reconnaissance mission." Lucy said: "The Canghuo Gang has a bar called the God of the Night, you are going to investigate there and find the location information of the Canghuo Gang's goods storage warehouse."

"Reconnaissance missions? We shouldn't need this kind of simple work, right?" Ge Gongdao brushed off the dust from his collar, and said, "Even if the price is lowered, our appearance fee is not cheap. Who is so rich in a bar? Hire us with spare money?"

"An independent contractor is the white glove of the Dalmatians Brokerage Company, and the actual controller behind it is the [-]th Charity Consortium." Lucy said, "Yes, there is no need to show a surprised expression, the one who paid us this time People are companies."

Zhuang Xuteng thought for a while, and said, "Since you have accepted this task, it means that it is not a temptation by the [-]th Charity Foundation. I can hear the meaning of a conflict of interests?"

"It's a bit close. To be precise, it should be people under the company who are fighting for resources. The company has been recruiting excellent talents, and the confrontation between headhunters is also fierce. Revenge came back, and most of the fights were caused like this." Lucy waved her hand and said: "I heard the news: someone put pressure through the Canghuo Gang, which led to a certain person choosing Dingxin Mochuang. Our commission People cannot directly retaliate against Dingxin Mochuang, so the Canghuo Gang should bear the consequences."

"Dog eats dog, good!" Ge Gongdao nodded, clapped his hands and said, "Find us, it means they have good vision!"

Zhuang Xuteng pinched his nose. He was not as excited as Brother Dao, but asked: "Recently, the relationship between the Cemetery Gang and the middlemen and mercenaries is very tense. White Gloves will not be unaware. He chose this time to pay for it. Will we have a deeper purpose when we take action?"

"This possibility cannot be ruled out. The main reason for letting you take over the commission this time is to be able to deal with risks more safely. Naike, you are my best scout and emergency handling team leader. If you can't find the problem and withdraw If you do it, no one else can do it." Lucy said: "The biggest risk I can think of right now is that some people want to provoke greater conflicts, causing conflicts between mercenaries and more gangs."

"I've thought of that too." Zhuang Xuteng frowned, and said, "The lesson of the Cemetery Gang is there. If the Canghuo Gang catches us, it will probably think that it will be the next target. In order to avoid falling behind With such an embarrassing end for the Cemetery Gang, the Canghuo Gang may end their spectator strategy and act first."

"I am worried about this, so I put forward higher requirements for this mission: no evidence against us can be left." Lucy said: "Although it is only for investigation, its configuration will never be low. You have two A front-line intelligence officer, together with my bus intelligence officer and the auxiliary team, will use the best operational force. Not only must it be fast in and fast out, but it must also be clean and safe.”

At this moment, Nightingale raised her hand and said, "Lucy, you forgot a crucial step: I want to go in."

"Yes, the key this time is to send Nightingale to the Canghuo Gang's office so that she can connect to its internal network and crack their database. Naike, you are responsible for this part of the work."

Nightingale rested her chin on her hands, tilted her head to look at Zhuang Xuteng, and said with a smile, "Nike, you must protect me this time."

"I should have been the one to go!" The rock sparrow snorted vigorously, and then began to roll on the sofa, dancing and screaming.It wasn't until Nightingale stroked her head and combed her hair with her fingers that the chipmunk stopped making noise, but her mouth was still pursed high and her nose was humming.

"The two of them had a competition ahead of time to see who could solve it faster. Nightingale won, so Nightingale went in, and Tiffin was monitoring the network security on the outside." Lucy took out a folder from the drawer and handed it over, saying: "They I have seen the two in advance, you can take a look."

"It's time to take it out." Zhuang Xuteng took the folder and suddenly felt something was wrong.He looked at Ge Gongdao and found that Ge Gongdao had the same expression as him, so he understood. "In the past, we first talked about the outline of the task, negotiated the price, and then showed the details of the task."

"Oh, I forgot to mention. The reward for this commission is 120% of your appearance fee." Lucy said: "The scouting mission is the cheapest of all types. Are you satisfied with this price?"

Zhuang Xuteng thought for a while, turned his head to look at Ge Gongdao, and then pressed the folder on the desktop. "Let's be clear first, is this a reconnaissance mission or a stealing mission? If it's a reconnaissance mission, then we'll find the location where the information is stored and find out a feasible path to the information, and our mission will be completed. For reconnaissance missions, we No need to come up with anything real, just to find out. Is that right?"

Ge Gongdao nodded slowly, and said: "What Naike said makes sense. If we go to investigate, then we don't need to bring back the things. If we get back the things, the client will either spend extra money to buy them, or find someone else to execute them." Theft task. The task is a good task, we are willing to do it, but the price must match the task requirements."

Lucy thought for a while and said, "This mission is a bit special. When designing the mission plan and looking for breakthroughs, Nightingale and Rock Sparrow have already participated. Regardless of whether there is a mission overview or not, you actually already know the core content of the mission... "

"So, the mercenary is still the intelligence officer of the middleman. If this matter is not clear, there will be a lot of trouble." Ge Gongdao sighed, and said: "Lucy, it is agreed that one size is one size. If Things get messy when there's no clear definition of what to do, what risk to take and what to get paid for. Do you remember Ocadover?"

Ocadover was a middleman. Eight years ago, he was assassinated in a suicide attack by his mercenaries, which caused quite a stir in the mercenary-middleman industry at that time.Since everyone involved in this matter is dead, no one can know for sure what the contradiction is.However, it was rumored that Ocadofer's management method was very rough, and he often made his mercenaries overwork and deducted their remuneration.This person has a bad reputation, and fewer and fewer people are looking for him as commissions. In order to maintain his income, he has been even more embezzled, and in the end he has lost his life.

"I definitely remember him, and I have dealt with him before." Lucy thought for a while and said, "Give me some time, let me contact the client to confirm whether this is investigation or theft."

Lucy went to the next room to make a phone call, leaving the four of them in the office.Nightingale and Rock Sparrow watched Zhuang Xuteng and Ge Gongdao nervously, like children who have done something wrong.Yanque swallowed, and said timidly: "Sorry, we read the mission details in advance and broke the rules."

"Don't worry, it's not your fault." Ge Gongdao stretched out his big hand, touched the tops of the two girls' heads, and comforted them, "Oh, you don't need to worry about the conflict between us and Lucy. It is normal to discuss the remuneration and content of the entrusted task, and even bargain and quarrel. This is the relationship between mercenaries and middlemen. As long as everyone is a professional, then all of this is within the scope of business. "

Zhuang Xuteng nodded and further explained: "We are mercenaries under Lucy's name, but we are different from other staff hired by Lucy. For example, the employees of the music restaurant, her messengers, and her security guards. Time wages and performance bonuses, they have to do what Lucy tells them to do. Mercenaries are different. Every entrusted task is actually a business negotiation, and they will do it if they agree; if they fail to agree, let the mercenary industry market decide who Can work."

Brother Dao laughed, rubbed his big hands back, and said, "The reason for this is that the PCPD does not allow mercenaries to become private armed forces in the middle, or even form new gangs."

"Then..." Yanque twirled her fingers and asked, "If we can't reach an agreement this time, and the two of us read the details of the entrusted task, what should we do? Will we quarrel?"

"Don't worry, just leave it to Brother Dao." Zhuang Xuteng said to Rock Sparrow and Nightingale: "Look, Lucy went to make a phone call. In fact, we reminded her that investigation and theft are two prices. In the matter of making money , she and us are on one side, and the client is on the other side—it is very common to clarify the mission objectives."

"Yes, it's normal." Ge Gongdao smiled and waved his hands, and said, "You two have been working as intelligence officers for a long time, but as mercenaries for a short time. Even if you see me arguing with the middleman in the future, or even roll up your sleeves, You needn't panic - it's part of life as a mercenary."

Zhuang Xuteng covered the corners of his mouth with his hand, and said to the two of them in a low voice: "Even if there is a fight, Brother Dao will rush forward. My first choice is to protect you, so don't worry!"

Seeing that the two of them were indeed not angry with them, Nightingale and Rock Sparrow were relieved and smiled along with them.After a while, Lucy came back, a little angry, and threw the phone directly on the table.

"If he doesn't add money, then we will conduct reconnaissance operations, find the place, determine the route, and then withdraw safely. If he wants to know the information, then he will find a way to find someone to steal it."

Zhuang Xuteng tapped his forehead, closed his eyes and thought for a while, opened them and said: "He only does investigation, so there is a high probability that he wants to trick us and let the Canghuo gang end up making trouble. Brother Dao, what do you think?"

"There is a conspiracy inside." Ge Gongdao nodded, and said, "Nike, I'm not good at these conspiracy things, what do you think?"

"Judging from the content of the entrustment alone, it is appropriate to give us [-]% of the appearance fee for the investigation mission, so we accepted this matter. But I want to discuss a new business with Sister Lucy."

"Stinky boy, once you open your mouth, I can guess what you want to do!" Lucy said, "If you want to turn around and blame other gangs, that's fine, but you can't blame the client. In this business, there is no special gang. A clear question, and the client cannot be offended."

"I know. It's very common for the client to cause trouble for mercenaries and middlemen. Everyone is used to it, and generally don't care about it-this time we don't care about it, unless he has gone too far." Zhuang Xuteng said: "This matter It’s best to make the Cemetery Gang suffer losses and want to drag the Canghuo Gang to fight the gang, and make up for the losses from the Canghuo Gang by the way. Let them fight between the gangs, or at least they will not work together. This is really true for us favorable."

Lucy nodded: "Go on, I'm listening carefully."

"I am also interested in the warehouse of the Canghuo Gang, so this time our goal is to get out the information. If we succeed, the information will be ours, and the way we realize the information is to cooperate with you." Zhuang Xuteng said to Lucy Said: "How to arrange the conflict between gangs is your business, we will implement it. Since the gang fire is not beneficial to both sides, and we get the information, we also attack the warehouse, so we want the warehouse loot profit [-]% of it."

Lucy pinched her fingers to calculate, and then said: "As long as the investigation is not affected, you can hand out the information. The information is yours. There is no problem. It is indeed my responsibility to find a way to make the gangs suspicious of each other." It’s okay to work. But to attack the warehouse, get the things inside, and pretend to be a cemetery to help, you may not be needed. It’s not that you can’t do it, but it’s more expensive to use you.”

Hearing this sentence, Brother Dao couldn't help laughing.He quickly raised his hand and scratched his head, hiding his smile.Once upon a time, he even accepted the work of a parade for a few hundred yuan, but now it has finally become more expensive, and it becomes necessary for others to use it carefully, which naturally makes him feel a little bit.

"If necessary, I will definitely use you first, but I don't guarantee that I will use you, so the [-]% share is still undetermined." Lucy said: "Where is the warehouse, what is it like, what is it, is it broken, is it? We don’t know whether it’s enough for you or you need additional staff. I suggest that we make an intention first.”

"Intention is also fine, but if we really participate in the whole process and only we can complete this matter, then we need [-]%."

"If it is [-]%, there will be no appearance fee for you - I can't give both ends, can I?"

"Reasonable." Zhuang Xuteng nodded.The two sides reached a consensus, and then shook hands, marking the conclusion of the agreement.Zhuang Xuteng finally picked up the folder and opened it to check the information inside.
