Chapter 370 Chapter 367 Average Face

Zhuang Xuteng and Morgana agreed to go to the cemetery to cause some trouble and "strengthen the PCPD's determination to crack down on gangs" together, but this matter should not delay the social event they will attend together next Wednesday. Before that, Zhuang Xuteng planned to trim his hair and do a face job. Even if he couldn't turn a passerby's face into a handsome guy, at least he had to look clean and tidy.

This is a "reservation" activity, which is definitely a major event in life, and he must pay special attention to it.

He has never had any experience in this area, so he went to ask Dao Ge for advice. It turned out that he was exactly the same as himself. He only knew to use soap when washing his face, which was basically the end of his own beauty. Zhuang Xuteng knew that his sister Zhuang Feifei must be very familiar with this field. Clothing management and image design are two aspects of the same thing, and they are not separated at all. If he asked her, he would definitely get a satisfactory answer, but it would also expose the secret that her brother and her future sister-in-law would attend the event together too early.

With that girl's personality, she would definitely try every means to get an admission ticket and become a little spy in the venue. Moreover, with her industry characteristics and the connections in the circle, it should not be difficult to get an admission ticket.

After thinking about it, I decided to ask Lucy. It happened that the house matter had been going on for a long time, and it was almost time for a result. Zhuang Xuteng made an appointment with Lucy on the phone and went to see her when she was free.

Lucy has been very busy recently, and Nightingale and Rock Sparrow have also been working overtime. They have some flowers at home, and when they can't come back, they will ask Zhuang Xuteng to help water them, so he knows this situation. During this time, Zhuang Xuteng tried not to disturb them as much as possible, and stayed at home to practice levitation when he had nothing to do.

Speaking of which, the music restaurant has changed a lot in just over a week. The most obvious thing is the rice-shaped tape on the glass window. The yellow lines are very conspicuous and can be seen from a distance. This kind of tape is generally used to prevent strong winds, so that the force becomes even and dispersed. At the same time, it can also pull the fragments when the glass is blown up by the wind, playing a certain protective role.

In addition to the obvious yellow tape, there is also a rare amount of garbage at the entrance of the music restaurant. The clerk was busy cleaning. When they saw the armored Weasel and Nike inside, they waved and signaled him not to park on the street, but to go around to the back parking lot. Zhuang Xuteng usually saves trouble and prefers to park outside, but since there is this request, just follow it.

The parking lot has also changed. There are two more poles at the entrance and exit, and there are people standing guard next to the poles. After asking, I learned that there were always gang thugs coming to cause trouble a few days ago. Although they were all trivial matters, they were not up to the standard, and no one was injured. But throwing garbage randomly, spraying paint on the glass, scratching the cars on the roadside... these are all disgusting things.

It is estimated that if it continues to develop, they are likely to come and smash the glass. This is not easy to prevent, because those thugs will ride their bikes quickly, cause damage and then leave. If they are intercepted or shot, it will be exactly what the Cemetery Gang wants, and they will have more reason to come here to make trouble. At present, Lucy's instructions are: Don't get hurt or die, and you can tolerate any small losses.

"I feel very passive." Zhuang Xuteng expressed his thoughts after seeing Lucy: "Haven't you caused any trouble for the Cemetery Gang recently? Just wait like this?"

"There are some small actions, but they don't require your level of power, so you don't know. Sit down, you don't need to wait too long, but at least wait until I suffer obvious losses, so that you have a good reason to cause trouble." Lucy signaled Zhuang Xuteng not to worry, she said: "We are worried about the power of the Cemetery Gang. The Cemetery Gang has the same feelings towards middlemen and mercenaries, and they are a little afraid to act rashly. However, there has been news that the Nine-Headed Elder has died. If the situation changes, it will change quickly."

"Okay, I'll wait for good news." Zhuang Xuteng clenched his fist to show that he was ready. He then let go of her hand and said, "Sister Lucy, you know what I'm here for."

"I know. One is the house and the other is face." Lucy smiled, took out a business card holder from the drawer, found one of the cards and showed it to Zhuang Xuteng: "Remember this contact and address. In the future, whether you need beauty treatments or want to find a disguise service, you can go to him. Tell him that I introduced you, you will get a discount, and I will get a commission."

"As for the house, the contract has been signed, the house is vacant, and only the decoration team is left to finish the work." Seeing Zhuang Xuteng open his mouth slightly, Lucy knew what he was worried about, waved her hand and said first: "Decoration means cleaning up the traces of previous life, installing some basic safety equipment, and re-making sound insulation, waterproofing and thermal insulation. Electric The power system and the water and gas in the kitchen need to be new. There is no style involved, so you have plenty of room to play with it. "

"That's good. Morgana really wants to tinker with the furniture and accessories herself - she has been looking forward to moving out and living on her own, spending her own money on life."

Lucy nodded and said, "If you two can make it, it will definitely be a good thing. But..."

"But what? Do you think it's difficult?"

"I'll say something unpleasant in advance, I'll say it this time." Lucy said, "Not all people who like each other can get together. If something unfortunate happens, I hope you can keep moving forward. Remember one thing: if you remove the gap brought by your family background, you are better than Morgana. I think you have a bright future, don't waste it. "

"Uh..." Zhuang Xuteng scratched his head, looked troubled, and said jokingly: "My future is very promising? Do you mean that I have no future now?"

"You know what I mean, don't be ridiculous!" Lucy shook her head with a smile and said, "Okay, go ahead and do your own thing! I'm going to urge the decoration team. I think they can complete it within a week. What you just said I’m not available next Wednesday, so that’s okay until then, right?”

"Yes. Do you have a mission?"

"It hasn't been decided yet. There will be news tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. Be prepared." Lucy said: "This operation requires you, Brother Dao and Yanque to go out. Nightingale will stay here to provide information support to you. I can’t tell you the specific task content yet, because I haven’t completed this calculation yet.”

"Understood, I'll set aside time to give Brother Dao a few more reminders, and then I'll pretend I haven't heard about it." Zhuang Xuteng pinched his nose and said, "Isn't this a very friendly question: Has the work of survival of the fittest been completed? "

The "survival of the fittest" here refers to Lucy's previous decision to reduce the size of her mercenaries. She herself said that only by reducing the scale and leaving only elite soldiers and generals can we provide intelligence support and information services of high quality and quantity. Zhuang Xuteng should not be concerned about such offending things in the first place, but he attaches great importance to information and intelligence support capabilities, and he is also one of the rare people who can greatly improve mission execution capabilities and completion effects by analyzing intelligence and judging the situation. He has commanding talents and is therefore qualified to intervene in this matter. Now that Lucy asked him to prepare for the task, he had to ask about the situation.

"It's done. It's busier now than when you first came here, but the quality of intelligence collection and analysis has been restored. In addition, I have to correct it: this is not survival of the fittest. Of course, the best can win, but there is no inferiority here." Lucy said : "I didn't eliminate anyone, let alone let the mercenaries die. I arranged a better way out for some people, and they all approved, so everyone can get together and leave."

"I said the wrong thing, I'm sorry." Zhuang Xuteng nodded his forehead with two fingers and saluted Lucy. "I will go back and reflect now. I won't be an eyesore here anymore. When I need to take action, I will be there with just a phone call. I will always be ready!"

"Let's go, let's go, don't forget to do your face." Lucy sighed and said, "Actually, it doesn't matter whether you do it or not, there won't be much improvement - just average is fine."

Will there really be no improvement? Zhuang Xuteng didn't believe it. He admits that he has an ordinary appearance, a common face, lacks recognition, and does not stand out in a crowd... but at least he is not ugly. If he doesn't get promoted, then won't all the popular faces get promoted?

According to the address on the business card, Zhuang Xuteng found this beauty salon called "Face". It is located in Shangcheng District, where the service industry is developed. It has a three-story studio of its own, and it is said that it also has a branch in Taiping District, where rich people gather. The people who receive services here attach great importance to their appearance, and cannot embarrass themselves or embarrass the people they need to serve.

Originally, Zhuang Xuteng's "social status" would not allow Tony's boss to take action, but Lucy's reputation is indeed great. A beautiful woman who should be the boss's secretary asked Zhuang Xuteng to wait a moment. The boss would receive him next after finishing his current clients.

About forty minutes later, Zhuang Xuteng met this "Boss Tony" - it can only be said that his name is suitable for this industry. Judging from the white hair on his head, he is no longer young, but he is very neatly groomed. With his always straight back and stretched shoulders, he still gives people a feeling of vitality and charm. Overall, this is a very handsome middle-aged and elderly man, but not the type that shines brightly. As soon as he saw Zhuang Xuteng, he stared at him with piercing eyes, looked up and down a dozen times, and then sighed.

"Lucy will really provide me with a challenge..."

Zhuang Xuteng narrowed his eyes, inhaled hard through his nostrils, suppressed his discomfort, and said in a calm tone as much as possible: "Is my face so difficult to deal with?"

"It's indeed a challenge - I didn't quite believe it when Lucy called me just now, but now..." The handsome old man raised his eyebrows, smiled and showed his teeth, and said: "Don't get me wrong, I didn't say You are ugly or have some flaws, but from a purely technical point of view, it is really difficult to improve the makeup on your face while ensuring natural coordination. "

After hearing this explanation, Zhuang Xuteng finally breathed a sigh of relief and felt less awkward. "Sister Lucy, have you told me my request?"

"Lucy...Sister? Well, okay, she's actually not that young, but I can understand that she would like to be called sister. And it's her own choice to wear a mask, and it's not wrong." Boss Tony hummed. He made a sound, feeling that he was a little dissatisfied. "That's such a waste..."

"Is Sister Lucy beautiful?"

"Haha, I have a very strict mouth, so you can't ask anything." Tony smiled and said, "Come on, let me give you a little plan. Just looking at it isn't enough, I have to feel your facial muscles and bones It depends on the condition of your hair. I have to say that if you look closely, your skin is very good. It is not only natural, but it seems to be continuing to grow and evolve. What medications do you usually use?

"No need to do anything, just wash your face with cold water and add soap."

"Then you have a pretty good foundation." Tony didn't know that dormant martial arts and supercomputing martial arts have the ability to strengthen the skin and transfer all hidden dangers, so he sighed. He carefully examined Zhuang Xuteng's face, and then explained to him in detail where the difficulty of improving his appearance lies.

If you do some exaggerated makeup and use a strong style, it will definitely improve the viewing experience, but in that case, you must sacrifice the recognition of Zhuang Xuteng's original face. Zhuang Xuteng has a common face - according to Tony's words, it's really like the most common parts plus the most common combination method, which is infinitely similar to the "average person" in the crowd - he is less recognizable than others and looks like anyone.

"Using some makeup techniques, it's easy to change you into other styles, imitating other people, and even both men and women - if you were a little slimmer, it would be even more convenient. But those are not you, and people who are familiar with you will find it a bit awkward. Well... I admit that Lucy is right. Under limited conditions, you are a big problem. All I can do now is to cut your hair, wash your face, and apply some skin care products... Your skin doesn't even need skin care products."

"I can be satisfied with this result. It will save me trouble in the future." Zhuang Xuteng smiled. For the first time in his life, he was particularly proud of his appearance - it doesn't need to be taken care of! "By the way, can you teach me how to easily make up and pretend to be someone else?"

"Do you have a foundation in makeup and disguise?"

"I only know camouflage makeup, which is used for infiltration." Zhuang Xuteng said honestly: "Is it difficult to learn disguise? I learn things quickly and am willing to pay the tuition."

"I have a good relationship with several middlemen. I have to repay some favors and make friends." Tony touched his chin and thought about it. He could hear from Lucy's description that the young man in front of him was very valued and promising. After meeting him, he also felt that he had a straightforward temper and personality and could get along with him. "I don't teach people easily, so there are two conditions."

"Please speak."

"In addition to the material fee and tuition, you owe me a favor. This favor is not big, and I don't know when I will use it, but you can't deny that it doesn't exist." Tony raised his second finger and said, "In addition, you have to study with another mercenary. In fact, I teach people disguise to repay someone's favor. Teaching one or two is teaching, and you just happened to catch this opportunity."

There is another person? Zhuang Xuteng thought for a while and said, "If the other person doesn't mind, then I don't mind. I will learn, but I also have a condition: don't tell me who I am or what I do."

"I keep my mouth shut." Tony smiled and said.
