Chapter 165 Chapter 163 New Ward and New Housing

Zhuang Xuteng made a new discovery: the rhythm of life of a mercenary is always to keep a low profile for a while after making a wave of money. It's not that I like to keep a low profile, but I want to recuperate. Lying on a bed in an underground hospital, I had no choice but to keep a low profile.

The purple-skinned man's punches and kicks were too heavy, and Zhuang Xuteng dodged most of them. He was hit by three punches and one kick when he tried to destroy the antenna, and his entire upper body was wrapped into a mummy. Now, he looked at the ceiling and the chandelier boredly, silently running dormant martial arts and super-caching techniques, slowly transferring the damage to the vengeful servants.

The Wraith Servant is an undead creature, and its efficiency in absorbing and digesting damage is a bit inefficient, not as good as the mealworms. Zhuang Xuteng smiled bitterly. He actually missed the time spent soaking in purple potion and accompanying mealworms. The speed of wound recovery was exactly what he needed now.

The door to the single ward was pushed open, and Ge Gongdao poked his head in. "Tsk, tsk, it's so lonely when you're alone! Why don't you call Morgana to accompany you? Or Kelly?"

"Why did I ask them to come over? Will it make them happy to see me lying on the bed? Don't cause trouble!" Zhuang Xuteng shook his head and said, "Brother Dao, have you brought the things?"

"Bring it here. The nurse at the door just now almost didn't let me in." Ge Gongdao turned around, brought in a box from outside the ward, and said: "A portable laboratory rat transfer box, with twenty little cuties in it. You Take it and use it.”

"Okay, we can finally speed up our recovery." Zhuang Xuteng sat up with his hands on the bed, picked up the cloth bag next to him, and hung it diagonally on his shoulders. This is a long cloth bag. Travelers in ancient times liked to put some portable food in it, such as fried rice and noodles, so that it could be hung on the body for easy carrying. It has only one opening, so you can zip it up without fear of the contents falling out, and it is now suitable for housing experimental mice.

"You were a little too careless this time. Can that guy's fist be directly connected with your body? I don't even dare." Ge Gongdao handed him the mouse and said: "Three ribs were broken, and yours was almost broken." The internal organs are punctured. The doctor said that there are cracks all over your stomach wall. Fortunately, it is not really broken, otherwise the stomach acid will spread everywhere and your life will be difficult to save! "

"It's hard to survive if you don't fight hard - that guy is too ferocious." Thinking of the purple-skinned man, Zhuang Xuteng was still frightened. "If that guy had a weapon, even if he only had a dagger, we might not survive."

"I'm also thinking about this. Why doesn't it use weapons? It doesn't need sharp tools like daggers. It's so powerful that iron rods are very dangerous. By the way, there are frozen fish! Those frozen fish are just Like Hammerhead, it can completely amplify its combat power."

"I can't figure it out at all. Besides, it can't always be explained by underestimating the enemy, right? If you want to find out, you have to continue the investigation, and the risks involved are too great. Brother Dao, you said that our mercenaries should try to avoid contact with the company Related things, isn’t it?”

"Not all mercenaries agree, this is just my experience." Brother Dao saw that the bag was full of mice, so he closed the box and put it at the foot of the bed, and then said: "To be honest, I work for the company The income is quite good, which attracts some mercenaries. But there is a problem with which company to work for. "

"The four top groups: Scarlet, Today, Dingxin, and Sanliu, they have been fighting openly and secretly, and are still using all means except corporate warfare to obtain benefits. Each of them controls many large, medium and small companies, and then these companies Then control the agents, and the agents come to the mercenaries. This leads to the fact that the mercenaries are at the bottom of the battle and are completely expendable, and even a bargaining chip between them.”

"There are too many mercenaries sold by the company's clients. Often the mercenaries make money, but also get into a lot of trouble, and they are not happy with the money. This is not bad. Some mercenaries die inexplicably. By the way, there is only one kind of mercenary suitable to work for the company."

Zhuang Xuteng asked: "What kind?"

"Master Famine Stranger - don't get me wrong, he is not a mercenary of the company line. Our middleman Lucy never likes to involve the company, and basically will not have any company-related commissions." Ge Gongdao waved his fist. Said: "Only those with strong fists and firm determination to use their fists can escape the fate of being victims of corporate battles. Some mercenaries with outstanding performance will be specially trained by the company and eventually absorbed into the business development team or exploration team." That's also a way for mercenaries to retire."

"I understand." Zhuang Xuteng said: "If your combat effectiveness is not up to Master's level, it is best not to get involved in the company's affairs."

"Yes. If you don't have five million implants in your body, don't get involved in a five million-level battle." Ge Gongdao pinched his nose and said, "Naike, find a chance to tell Morgana. Stop issuing such named tasks, it’s too dangerous.”

"I've already told her, have you forgotten?" Zhuang Xuteng said: "I told her that the commission was an event and that she had to follow the normal process of solving the problem. It was not as simple as inviting an actor to support her. I saw that she looked a little unhappy, but I definitely listened.”

"What do you think her background is? You'd say she's rich, but why do I feel like her implants aren't that good?"

Zhuang Xuteng shrugged his shoulders and said: "I don't know either. Just like she likes to join the PCPD, that's not the normal state of a rich person, right? It's hard to ask about this, after all, I haven't gotten to know it yet. "

"Oh, that's right. Ask when you two are more familiar with each other." Ge Gongdao scratched his face and said, "By the way, I went to get the mouse and handed in this task to Lucy. I told her about the purple man. She agreed with you that this matter deserves vigilance, but it is not worth investigating. In addition, she said that the accommodation you asked her to find has been prepared. Here are the keys and address."

"Why didn't you tell me this good news earlier?" Zhuang Xuteng's eyes lit up and he reached out to Ge Gongdao for the key.

"I thought I would go after you were discharged from the hospital. There is no rush."

"Discharged? I can be discharged now. Don't forget that I walked in by myself, not pushed in by anyone. My current situation will only be better than before, so of course I can walk out." Zhuang Xuteng took the key and looked at the note attached to it. "1313 and 1314 of Wenxin Building in Liming District, how come there are two rooms?"

"Someone bought two before and connected them. Later, the person didn't want to live there anymore, so he sold them together - that's what Lucy told me." Ge Gongdao sighed and said, "I heard that the two houses together are more than 400 square meters. It must cost a lot for you to live alone?"

"Of course it costs money, but I didn't want such a large area. Lucy's side job is not real estate, right?"

As for the rent, Zhuang Xuteng could only say this. He couldn't just tell Brother Dao that this house was a reward for his work as a guard, right? The fewer people who knew about Lucy's request to protect the intelligence officer Liu Xing, the safer Liu Xing would be. Zhuang Xuteng didn't understand the specific situation of the mission yet, and he hadn't seen the appearance of the house, so he couldn't directly invite Ge Gongdao to live there.

"I have to go see the house first. Uh, the area is too large. I kind of want to cancel it directly. Please ask Sister Lucy to find me a smaller one." Zhuang Xuteng took off his hospital gown, changed into his own loose clothes, and prepared to be discharged from the hospital. He asked while busying himself: "Brother Dao, have you been there to see it?"

"No. I came directly from Lucy, I'm not in a hurry, you will definitely take me there." Ge Gongdao said with a smile: "I think if there is no safety or quality problem with the house, you should accept it, don't return it to Lucy, it will not look good. She can give you such a big house, that is, she believes you can afford it - financially."

Ge Gongdao explained to Zhuang Xuteng: "Lucy is your middleman, giving you a big house means that she wants to use you and will give you some money-making tasks. If you return the house, people will think you have no confidence. Hey, you should think more when entrusting, that is your advantage, but you usually think too much about this kind of thing! If you can't afford to live in it, just sell it or rent it out, you can deal with it anyway. As a mercenary, the key is to make money, and other things can be as little as possible, and as comfortable as possible."

"I'm used to saving money." Zhuang Xuteng responded.

"I understand. It's a good habit, but it also takes up energy." Ge Gongdao looked around and said, "You continue to dress and pack your things here. I'll go to the nurse to get you discharged."

The treatment costs for injuries sustained during the commissioned missions are deducted from the commissioned income. Zhuang Xuteng and Ge Gongdao each bear half, so they will not push each other over the discharge expenses. Zhuang Xuteng wanted to drive himself, but Ge Gongdao grabbed the steering wheel of the white beast on the grounds that the patient needed to be taken care of. He seemed to like this car very much, and Zhuang Xuteng also persuaded him to buy one. In the winter, armored vehicles are always more comfortable than large motorcycles.

"I have ordered a car, a luxury station wagon, with armor added, which will arrive in a while." Ge Gongdao said: "This is Lucy's suggestion. We may have to go to places where rich people are, so we can't drive an armored car. We need a car to show off. I guess she is already looking for a suitable commission, probably something like a bodyguard."

"In order to earn my rent, Sister Lucy is also working hard..."

"Hahaha, that's probably what you mean." Ge Gongdao looked back and said: "Hey, why is the motorcycle still here? Didn't Morgana ride it away?"

"She drove away in a police car, and there was no room in the car, so she asked me to take care of her car first and come back to get it when I am free. She asked me for the key and pushed the car in by herself."

"I don't know when she will come back to see you, it probably won't be long." Ge Gongdao raised his eyebrows and smiled slightly, looking mysterious.

Zhuang Xuteng looked out the window and didn't notice Dao Ge's expression. He just nodded mechanically and said, "She said it would take about a week to get the stuff for testing, so she will probably come in a week. Phew, I hope she won't bring any more difficult commissions, at least don't provoke the purple-skinned people before we are able to equip muscle and bone strengthening implants."

Ge Gongdao frowned and said, "Nake, do you think we should ask Master where he got the good implants? Is that channel still there?"
