Chapter 380 Chapter 377 A Step Up

"The mission went very smoothly, congratulations!" Lucy tapped the heels of her palms with her fingers to encourage them. "Compared to you, I have nothing to say here: the client finally changed his mind and needed the intelligence itself, not necessarily in accordance with the investigation mission."

Ge Gongdao snorted hard, rubbed his nose with his fingers, and expected to be quite contemptuous: "There is really something wrong with the brain. Fortunately, we have been prepared to deal with it. Lucy, the mission type has been changed, what about the reward?"

"It has also been improved accordingly, a little more." Lucy said: "The reason for this is that he has made additional requirements, which is to know when you will take action."

"Oh my God, your trap-digging skills are too bad, right?" Ge Gongdao shook his head vigorously, saying that he had never seen such a trap in broad daylight. "He won't give you a reason, right? I wonder what he can come up with."

"The reason he gave is that he is arranging some actions on his side and needs to know the time of our actions in order to coordinate. He also said that after knowing this time, he can control the risks on our side. If we fail, , and can stop the loss in time." Lucy spread her hands and said, "I can feel that he has worked very hard to make up reasons, and it makes me feel bad, so I agreed - I just asked him for more. A little money."

This is really a lot of work for mercenaries, and anything can happen to them. Zhuang Xuteng said: "From his choice, it is certain that he wants to stir up trouble outside the mission. Sister Lucy, what should we do next?"

"First let Nightingale and Yanque go next door to decrypt the information in their heads for analysis." Lucy said: "In addition, on our side, I will think of a way to design a show to let the two gangs fight. It’s better to involve PCPD. This needs to be well designed.”

Zhuang Xuteng grunted, then stopped the two sisters who were going to collect information next door, and said: "Don't leave in a hurry, I have an idea. Looking at the overall situation, weakening and destroying the Cemetery Gang's ability is very important to us. The advantage is that once the gang war situation is formed, we will have more opportunities to take advantage of it, which is also beneficial. Therefore, I think: we should contribute to the operation designed by Sister Lucy. We should not exclude the cost of consumables. What do you two think about charging other fees?”

Nightingale and Rockbird looked at each other, as if they could exchange thoughts and opinions in this way. Then my sister Nightingale said: "Okay. Sister Lucy designed these tasks to stir up the situation not only for herself, but also for our profits, so the appearance fee should be regarded as an investment! I believe that we will have many opportunities to benefit from the investment in the future."

The two sisters agreed, and Zhuang Xuteng then looked at Ge Gongdao. The latter scratched his scalp and said: "I'm sad, I thought you would ask my opinion first."

"If you agree, the two of them will feel pressured, and 80% of them will agree together; if you don't agree, they will be even more pressured and don't know what to choose. So, just be aggrieved and stay at the back!" Zhuang Xuteng He smiled and said, "You can either express your opinion or just assume that you agree, okay?"

Ge Gongdao stretched out his finger, flicked Zhuang Xuteng's forehead, and then said: "I am senior brother, I am senior brother, have you forgotten? These two brains are the price for my consent!"

"Okay!" Zhuang Xuteng rubbed his forehead, quickly turned to Lucy, and said to her: "That's what we mean, it's time to hone our skills. However, we also have the right to refuse the task, especially if we find that the task setting is unreasonable and risky. When it’s too big.”

"Of course, of course, I will not forget this." Lucy stretched out her hand to shake Zhuang Xuteng's hand and asked, "Any other suggestions?"

"One piece of advice is enough for you to save a lot of money. How much more do you want?" Zhuang Xuteng shook his head with a smile and said, "That's it. When you transfer the money to our account, you will inform us what to do next." . As for you two..."

He said to Nightingale and Yanque: "Be careful not to be too tired when analyzing the intelligence data. After you are done, go do some implant maintenance. Don't forget to call me."

"Hey, I also need implant maintenance, why do you always do it for the two of them?"

"Brother Dao, you don't need to call me, because you have to practice martial arts with me during this time." Zhuang Xuteng originally didn't want to put pressure on Brother Dao so early, but when he mentioned "senior brother", there must be a senior brother. Cultivation and obligation. "I have some new ideas and I need someone to practice with me. After the practice is over, we will go for implant maintenance together."

At this time, Ge Gongdao didn't know what he was going to face. He nodded immediately and said, "That's no problem. I'll send a message to Prince, and we'll go to the training ground."

The two of them now have three training grounds, one at the Gonggong Taoist House, one under the implant care shop, and the other is the previous base of operations in the Hedi District. Don’t be too busy at home, as it’s easy for people upstairs and downstairs to get into trouble; the maintenance shop’s business is getting better, and it’s inconvenient for people to come and go. This warehouse-turned-operations base had been exposed earlier and was not suitable as a place to store mission equipment, gather personnel, and discuss plans. It's just right to turn it into a pure training ground.

Ge Gongdao and Zhuang Xuteng placed training equipment here and also set up a ring. Nowadays, those equipment for training reaction speed can no longer keep up with the progress of their martial arts. Only dumbbells and other strength equipment can still be used.

When they need to fight with all their strength, the two brothers will come here. They will not fight right away, but will check the environment here first. This series of actions includes searching whether the place is being monitored, whether there are traps, and whether there are traces of strangers who have come to investigate.

Whether the healing medicines are complete and not expired, whether the mice are alive and kicking and in groups... The two people divide the work and cooperate, and do all the preparations as if they were entrusted with a task, and then they can let go and start fighting.

To show respect, Zhuang Xuteng apologized first, and then took out the levitation technique. In fact, it is not just the levitation technique. When he filled the surrounding space with the ghost servant jelly, it is equivalent to the super cache martial arts also being used, and it has reached the level of seven flashes.

Seven flashes is a fault, which is a huge improvement compared to six flashes. In addition, Ge Gongdao is also using super calculation martial arts, so his reaction is within Zhuang Xuteng's expectations, which makes the advantage brought by the improvement become a kind of crushing. It only took Zhuang Xuteng three rounds to control Ge Gongdao's throat and back of the head at the same time. Whether it was judged according to the rules of the two people's competition or from the perspective of actual combat, Ge Gongdao had already lost.

"How did you turn in the air?" It seems that Ge Gongdao still didn't understand how he lost. "You secretly installed the implant? That's not right. You haven't been hospitalized to rest recently. How did the implant get in?"

"Don't say so much. You must want to fight again. Let's do it again." Zhuang Xuteng pulled away, and the two stood still again, and then went for the second round. This time, although Ge Gongdao consciously prevented Zhuang Xu from changing direction in the air, he only lasted five more seconds before his heart and head were controlled and he was defeated again.

"No, no, no! You can fly around and have more action options than me, so...wait a minute!" Ge Gongdao frowned and said, "You didn't install someone's floating implant into your body, did you?"

"I didn't install a new implant, why don't you believe this is a martial art?" Zhuang Xuteng lifted his shirt, revealing his chest and abdomen, and said, "Look, it's still the same skin and flesh, no new seams, right?! I just used some magic to assist the martial arts, which is essentially an improvement in martial arts. Don't you understand?"

"I don't understand, let me think about it for a while and see how to crack your actions." Ge Gongdao scratched his head, his thoughts still wandering in the circle of changing direction in the air. "You reminded me that if I want to rebuild the conditioned reflex, I should indeed take into account the changes in tactical actions such as floating. If there is one who can use it, there will be a second one."

"Okay, you think about it first, don't take too long, I'm going to drink some water." Zhuang Xuteng didn't point it out, he thought it would be better to let Brother Dao figure it out himself. The two men rested for a while, and Ge Gongdao accumulated some confidence, so they continued to fight.

After taking the floating changes into consideration, Ge Gongdao's response speed and efficiency have been significantly improved, but his response ability is still under the control of Zhuang Xuteng. Although he persisted for two more minutes, Zhuang Xuteng still dismantled Ge Gongdao's defense system, causing him to "suffer" serious damage.

In the sparring, no real damage will be caused, only a simulation. Those injuries that will have a major impact on subsequent battles and cause irreversible and significant declines in combat capabilities are marked as "serious injuries". Although it looks better than the direct "fatal" result, it still marks Zhuang Xuteng's victory.

"Strange, too weird!" Ge Gongdao waved his hand, drove Zhuang Xuteng away, and then sat there angry with himself. "How did I fall into your trap? I saw the trajectory and angle of your last move, but why did you freeze?"

Zhuang Xuteng shrugged and said, "Don't worry, I did improve before I came to you to spar, and you can still beat me as long as you improve. Take it slow first, and change a batch of mice by the way - although they didn't get hurt, they can't stand the shaking of the two of us."

"That's right." Ge Gongdao stood up, relaxed his muscles, and after changing the mice, he drank water while thinking. He suddenly thought of something, and after an "ah" sound, he asked, "You jumped directly across the street to the opposite building, and you used the mid-air change of direction, right?"

Zhuang Xuteng nodded and admitted, "I accumulated strength in my legs, rushed forward as much as possible, and then changed directions in the air many times, slightly extended the jumping distance, and just passed it."

"Changing directions in the air, it's incredible." After saying that, Ge Gongdao gulped down the water, put down the water cup, and found some snacks to replenish his energy.

Zhuang Xuteng also took a piece of wafer biscuit, tore open the package and ate while saying: "If I hadn't seen the floating implant, I would not have imagined that I could do such a move. Thinking back carefully, we were very restrained at the time, and were greatly affected by the floating. In fact, he used the floating implant to exert a lot of force on us, increasing our physical burden and slowing down our speed."

Ge Gongdao recalled carefully and nodded. "I didn't realize this when we were fighting. I was more concerned about our cooperation and didn't want to have any loopholes, so that the guy wouldn't run away. That's why I deliberately went slower and more stable. Now that you put it that way, it was indeed forced to slow down, not so much on my own initiative."

"Strong winds, flowing water, swamps, shaking ground... these environmental factors will seriously affect our combat effectiveness, and floating implants also have a part of the role of interfering with the environment." Zhuang Xuteng said: "I thought about it for a long time, and I feel that relying solely on martial arts skills is absolutely not enough. Our supercomputing martial arts rely on cleverness. When the environment is not good, it will be more seriously affected than opponents who use brute force, armor and high-speed high burst."

"You think a lot, and it makes sense. But..." Ge Gongdao stood up and said: "Our skills have not been fully utilized, and we can't stop improving, just like I still have means to deal with you. I'm going to use equipment and sword dance!"

"Okay..." Zhuang Xuteng nodded with a smile. "Let me check what level your sword dance is! But if you lose again, you will lose face... hehehe."

Ge Gongdao snorted hard and picked up the model of a two-handed sword from the weapon rack. When the two of them sparred, they didn't use shadow guns, so there was no need to use real swords that could cut ghost energy bullets. Moreover, Zhuang Xuteng doesn't know how to use the armor-piercing hammer. If he hits with that thing, his bones will definitely break. How can he continue to spar?

The sword dance martial arts is indeed very powerful, especially when combined with the supercomputing martial arts, it can combine the two ideas of positive and negative. Specifically, Ge Gongdao uses very "normal" and "traditional" swordsmanship most of the time, but his movements are extremely fast and he has a strong ability to seize opportunities. He is fast and fierce. In addition to these "normal and traditional" routines, he can also go against the general conditioned reflexes and play unexpected moves, as if he suddenly turned into a stick method or a short hammer technique, and these moves highlight a "concealment" and do not affect his normal moves.

Zhuang Xuteng felt that Ge Gongdao seemed to be able to suddenly change into a second knife to hit him. This second knife is not so long, so fierce, and so fast, but it is extremely insidious and there is no sign. If it weren't for the seven flashes, if it weren't for the "ghost jelly" covering the entire three-dimensional space, he might not be able to react.

Due to his unfamiliarity with the sword dance, Zhuang Xuteng could not crush the opponent as much as before, but he still had a huge advantage. This time, he let Ge Gongdao play for a while longer, and took the opportunity to watch the sword dance more, and then dealt a "fatal injury" in the seventh minute, defeating Ge Gongdao again.

Ge Gongdao frowned as he looked at the armor-breaking hammer model clamped on his neck. He thought very hard for a while, and then suddenly punched Zhuang Xuteng with great force and momentum.

Zhuang Xuteng easily dodged by turning sideways.

"Fuck! This reaction speed, this is not a problem of floating, but a simple reaction speed! You have seven flashes, right? It can only be like this! Damn, you are awesome! Hahaha, Ni Ke, you make me so proud!" Ge Gongdao first raised and waved his arms, and then clapped his hands, as if he was happier than when he had reached the seventh flash.
