Gunfire, Punk & Necromancers

Chapter 58 Chapter 57 Return from Training
Three months is enough time for many important things to happen in Peicheng, such as the expansion of the anti-riot squad, the implementation of the "Self-Defense Affirmative Action", such as the subsidy for citizens' medical-grade moviegoing implants, such as Zhuang Xuteng's completion of the PCPD intensive training course .

There are many things that have been in the layout for a long time, but I have been looking for suitable opportunities. The "623 Riot" and the "718 Gang Merger" had an extremely bad impact on society. The short intervals between violent conflicts made people not question the security situation in Peicheng, which is what many people dream of. opportunity.

PCPD has undoubtedly become a scapegoat and has suffered the most doubts and abuse, but PCPD also has something to say!Their daily task is to maintain basic social order, such as household registration, traffic, economic crimes, security patrols, prisons, forensic medicine, and criminal investigation. Which one does not need people?It is the job of the anti-riot strike team to shoot at gangsters with guns, and they must not steal their jobs.

As a result, the anti-riot strike team got more budget and establishment, expanded its scale and improved its equipment level.People were pleasantly surprised to find that this change was immediate. Violent crimes in the news have indeed declined recently, and there have been no large-scale riots or firefights. The riot squad must have played a role.

To be fair, the Riot Squad certainly couldn't have been useless, and it certainly wasn't just what it did.In the face of credit, everyone has to grab it, as long as they can show their faces.Let's talk about the "Self-Defense Affirmative Action Act". On paper, it means that everyone has the legitimate right to protect themselves, so they should have the right to equip self-defense weapons with equal capabilities depending on the security threat.If you study this bill carefully, there is actually one meaning between the lines: selling guns.

It stands to reason that the more guns there are on the market, the more danger there will be, right?But nothing has happened recently, so this bill can be said to have made a contribution—it has effectively curbed the progress of crimes!In fact, speaking of it, maybe Zhuang Xuteng stayed in the PCPD training class for an extra month, and didn't wander around outside and pushed the wheel of fate forward. This credit may be greater than the bill.

But many people don't realize that the seemingly welfare-like project of "Subsidy for Medical-grade Movie Congregation Implants for Citizens" will have a long-term impact on the security environment in Peicheng.

The "subsidy project" stipulates that citizens of Peicheng who meet certain conditions can enjoy subsidies when installing medical video implants.The subsidy money is not much, the average ratio is about 5% to 7%, and the subsidy for some life-and-death transplant treatments can reach 12%.People without money, no matter whether there is a subsidy or not, can hardly afford the treatment costs of medical-grade shadow implants, which means they can't get money; while rich people don't want to go through those cumbersome procedures for that little money.

The fundamental goal of this project is to get more live shadow implants on the market and onto store shelves.In the past, in order to control the total number of shadow implants and avoid "extraordinary" among the people, the implants could only be used after receiving the doctor's approval according to the actual disease during treatment in the hospital. Now it is not so troublesome.There will be shops selling so-called "medical-grade" shadow implants on the high street, and even some plastic surgery clinics will be allowed to install implants - as long as they meet certain conditions.

In Peicheng, there is essentially only one so-called "condition to be met", and that is "sufficient profit".

Once this hole is opened, the shadow implant market will explode, and they will buy some useful things for themselves.But don’t forget that the Shadow Cong implant is not something that is inclusive at all. Most people can’t afford it, and it’s even more difficult for most people to afford the price of top-level equipment.Therefore, the rich will openly become stronger, widening the gap in terms of body, lifespan and other aspects.

But will there be so many living shadows used to make implants?
Someone must know, but definitely not Zhuang Xuteng.He had just finished training, went home, left a note for his sister, and came to Lucy's house.

Compared with three months ago, Zhuang Xuteng looked more capable, and his complexion and physical condition were of course much healthier.With the right and consistent exercise, he had developed some muscle, could see the rise and fall of his shoulders, and could notice his thicker wrists.When he appeared in front of Lucy, he didn't feel young and nervous at all, and his every move was more calm and confident.

"I was worried that you would directly join the PCPD," Lucy motioned Zhuang Xuteng to sit down and said, now that the young man stood there already made her feel too serious and nervous. "Or decide to be a mercenary?"

"Yes, compared to PCPD, I still like this job." Zhuang Xuteng said: "After patrolling the streets for a month, I found that if PCPD wants to earn more money, it has to take gray income, and if you don't take it, you can't become PCPD yourself. People. In contrast, it would be better for me to be a mercenary directly, with more freedom and peace of mind, mainly because I don’t have to be double-dealing.”

Lucy nodded, and said: "If you have this idea, then this month's street patrol will not be in vain. Before we didn't expect that there would be a new policy, requiring PCPD training courses to include the work of auxiliary police patrolling the street, otherwise we would not allow After graduation, two months turned into three months."

"I figured it out, but it's actually my own fault." Zhuang Xuteng smiled awkwardly, and said, "The extra month is due to the pressure of public security. The pressure came from the two incidents of 623 and 718. As a result, I was at the scene..."

"It may also be the problem of Brother Dao. He is also there, isn't he?"

"Hehe, that makes sense." Zhuang Xuteng asked, "What has Brother Dao been up to lately?"

"A few days ago, he helped me deliver some goods. I don't know these two days. He probably picked up some odd jobs from other middlemen. I feel that he has been waiting for you before he is ready to find some serious commissions. Naike, are you Do you want to start working immediately or take a two-day break?"

Zhuang Xuteng didn't hesitate at all, and said: "I want to start working immediately, the premise is that we are partners with Brother Dao. Sister Lucy, do you have any good commissions recently?"

"I will inquire for you to see if there is any suitable for two people to complete. You should also be mentally prepared. The commissions of two partners are often not very profitable, because the relative difficulty is relatively low. If you want to make a lot of money, you'd better be able to Some acquaintances form a team."

"Brother Dao should know someone."

Lucy nodded, then waved her hand, and said, "He does know a lot of people, but his choice is not necessarily a good one, otherwise he wouldn't be stabbed in the back, and he would be so miserable. And, many Either because the mercenaries don't know the truth, or because of the trend of interests, they think Brother Dao is the one who is not authentic. If he is asked to pull a team, it will definitely not go well."

Zhuang Xuteng nodded and said, "Let's take it step by step. The two of us will work together first, and then we will see the situation. If the two of us can't support ourselves, then it's impossible to recruit more people."

"Yes, that's the truth." Lucy nodded, then pointed at Zhuang Xuteng's chest and said, "Hey, are you wearing a PCPD medal? Real or fake?"

"It's true. When I was patrolling the street, I saw that the ghost fire gang was robbing, so I went to support the nearby PCPD. The ghost fire gang likes to use flamethrowers, and there is a risk of explosion everywhere. We volunteer trainees are responsible for maintaining order and rescue. People." Zhuang Xuteng said lightly: "By chance, I rescued three injured colleagues. As soon as I pulled them out of the fire, there was an explosion. They thought I was the lifesaver, so they will receive a bravery medal Give it to me, thank you."

"Are you talking about the explosion at the warehouse in the River District?"

"Yes. In the news, it was an accidental fire. In fact, it was a fight between the ghost fire gang and the PCPD. Fortunately, I have a month of fire training experience, so I was able to safely drag all three people out." Zhuang Xuteng tapped his chest A silver metal shield badge engraved with a gold-rimmed brick wall on the front, said: "Wearing this thing, the PCPD won't embarrass me too much, and I think it will be more convenient for mercenary missions."

This is completely correct, this kind of badge is not big, but sometimes it is very useful.Especially when encountering PCPD in suspicious situations, with this badge, at least they will not take shooting as the first option, and they are willing to ask a few more questions patiently, which may be the difference between life and death.

"Didn't they advise you to stay in PCPD?"

"I persuaded them, and I refused them well, but they all expressed that they welcome me back at any time. Sister Lucy, you have competitors, and you have to give more opportunities to make money in order to keep me..."

"Hahaha, good. There are plenty of opportunities to make money, and it depends on whether you have the courage and ability to do it." Lucy tapped her fingers on the table and said rhythmically: "You want to make more money, so do I. As long as the entrustment can If you do it well, you will definitely have money. But I also have to consider whether you can do a good job. If you are not capable enough and the opportunity to entrust is wasted, I will not do everything for you!"

"It's fair." Zhuang Xuteng nodded, and said, "Sister Lucy, I originally planned to train for two months, and then followed Brother Dao to buy equipment. Now it's been a month, can I still catch up with the black market?"

"Black market? The black market is about to be overthrown. You guys are really lucky. There have been earth-shaking changes this month. The company's stores have been selling various pistols one after another. Although they are self-defense weapons and low-threat weapons The promotion is selling, but as long as it is equipped with a little leather-level shadow follower implant, its power is no less than that of an offensive weapon. The key is that it has good adaptability and basically does not bite, which is unmatched by black market firearms.”

"Let's talk about my brother's Python V3. I couldn't buy it for more than 6000 Euros, but now I can buy a weakened version for 4500 Euros. The supply is sufficient. The weakened version has a short range and can only hit straight lines, and the killing distance is only 20 to 30. [-] meters, but most people only need to use this distance, not to mention that it can be strengthened from the implant. All of a sudden, black market guns have become a backlog. Except for high-quality firearms that are powerful and do not bite , and no one wants anything else.”

Zhuang Xuteng hummed lightly, and said, "Fortunately, I didn't buy it a month ago, otherwise I would have been taken advantage of."

"Anyway, I suggest that you don't go to the black market to buy guns. Other things are fine. It's best to buy a light armor plate first. More and more people will hold guns in the future. This is an inevitable trend."
