Chapter 490 Chapter 487 Have some Fun

Although the PCPD's bounty gave people a disgusting feeling that it was not worthy of its name and that it was like swallowing flies for protein, Zhuang Xuteng still asked Morgana to help him find a white glove who was willing to help collect the bounty. Zhuang Xuteng must still focus on the tasks entrusted by Brother Dao and Sister Lucy. He has recently made it clear that he will have a conflict with the gang. With his current reputation level, there is a high probability that he will be responsible for assassinating key figures in the gang. In this case, the PCPD's bounty was earned in vain, which greatly alleviated Zhuang Xuteng's nausea.

"If people who work for gangs and launder black money are called white gloves, then those who launder PCPD bounties to killers should be called black gloves, right?" Zhuang Xuteng said to Morgana with a smile, but his smile It only existed on his face, and he didn't feel any humor in such things at all in his heart.

"White gloves don't mean that...but you can also think of the bounty provided by the PCPD as something that is not just enough, so white gloves are white gloves." Morgana tidied her clothes in the mirror. She had to go to work today. He was on duty and had to leave early in the morning. Even the breakfast prepared by Zhuang Xuteng could not be eaten at home and could only be taken to the car. "Wish me good luck today, and wish the lab results tomorrow."

"All the best! All the best!" Zhuang Xuteng passed by the living room naked in an apron, picked up the clothes scattered on the floor, and threw them into the washing machine. If these are not packed away before both of them leave the house, Meatbag will tear these clothes to pieces as if they were toys.

"Besides, time in the morning is precious, don't touch it in the future." Morgana took a bottle of antifreeze cream from the bathroom and applied it to her face to not only resist the cold wind outside, but also to cover up the rosy cheeks. "I'd rather have breakfast together at the table than roll around in bed."

"Okay! Next time we will be at the breakfast table." Zhuang Xuteng chuckled a few times, and then sent Morgana out of the room.

Proper rest and relaxation can help increase work enthusiasm. Zhuang Xuteng went to see Lucy that morning to see if there was any task that would allow him to move around. Now Lucy hopes to use Zhuang Xuteng as her trump card. She will not look for him for simple tasks that are not dangerous, such as running errands to pick up items or looking for lost items.

In fact, Zhuang Xuteng is better at running errands and finding things than sneaking around to kill people. You must know that the combination of the charged jump of the driving assistance suit implant and the levitating technique is equivalent to weakened flight, which makes his mobility far superior to that of his peers. The Wraith Jelly, coupled with the shadow that can penetrate into various gaps, and the bone-finding technique that can search for the same or similar objects, he also has an advantage in finding lost objects that others cannot match.

Unless these types of tasks involve a large amount of money, intelligence officers will not be used. Therefore, based on the task share just negotiated, Zhuang Xuteng can get 70%. Without delaying the team's tasks, Zhuang Xuteng and the two sisters, Nightingale and Yanque, each completed Lucy's small task. The money they received was all their own. There was no need to pay dividends to the other party or take a share of the team's money. They could all put it into themselves. fanny pack. Therefore, Zhuang Xuteng would not be jealous of the money the two sisters earned as auxiliary intelligence agents, nor would the two sisters envy the pocket money Zhuang Xuteng earned from running errands and finding things for others.

I took a task in the morning and finished it in the afternoon. I could even have a "staff meal" in the music restaurant in the evening without delaying the intensive training at night. Zhuang Xuteng earned 7,000 euros in one day. He felt that the price-performance ratio was very good, and he hoped that such tasks could be done every day.

But even if Lucy becomes the only middleman in Peicheng whose business is not affected, she cannot have such a job every day. At the same time, this kind of work without too much personal risk is more suitable for newcomers to practice, and it cannot be treated as an entertainment project for Zhuang Xuteng.

He wanted to deal with the gang more, but the Gonggong Road side needed to make a plan and there was no chance to act immediately. In order to prevent Zhuang Xuteng from stealing the "junior's" business again, Lucy gave him an investigation commission.

The middleman Lazio "The Rib Knife" has been in a bad mood recently. He made various twists and turns during the meeting, resulting in the failure to reach an agreement with Colonel Taaffe. Although he had never objected to buying back the identity information of the mercenaries from Colonel Taaffe, he did not give enough support in actual operations. Nowadays, a large number of mercenaries are unable to carry out business. As a group, middlemen always have to find someone to take the blame, and they also need to find a sum of money as compensation to compensate the "unemployed" mercenaries.

Lucy has been eyeing Lazio's money bag for more than a day or two. She has been planning for a long time, including not providing new identities to the mercenaries under Lazio's name. Now Lazio only has direct staff, his intelligence officer, and at most two "titled" mercenaries whose identities have not been announced, plus at most three or five new mercenaries who have just been recruited. They are at their weakest point. when.

Lazio also knows that it is weak now and has offended many people, so it has become particularly vigilant now. In the real world, he retreats to his base camp in the amusement park, lives in seclusion, and uses all his direct power to protect himself. But at the network level, he actively contacted his fellow middlemen, used sweet words and tried to win over others, hoping to establish a better target than himself in order to divert hatred.

"Nike, the mercenaries have lost their identity protection. This matter will be resolved sooner or later. It depends on which pocket the middleman takes out the money to compensate. Fortunately, there is a moat company that can take over, so that the mercenaries will not immediately lose their source of income. , which can be regarded as delaying the outbreak of conflicts." Lucy said to Zhuang Xuteng: "My personal idea is that it is best for all former mercenaries to use safe new identities, and the compensation from the intermediary group will fall into our pockets."

"I strongly agree." Zhuang Xuteng will definitely not object to making money. "But, Sister Lucy, when you ask me to monitor Lazio, are you preparing for a middleman war?"

"What is discovered is called intermediary warfare, and what is not discovered is called robbery." Lucy laughed twice, which was not hidden by her mask. "On the issue of compensation for mercenaries, the intermediary association has made slow progress and has not been able to reach a conclusion. I estimate that in the end, a few middlemen who still have strength will leave the association and go it alone, or at least ignore the association and do their own thing. In In this case, it is best for us to take the initiative and choose the target first. "

Zhuang Xuteng understood clearly: In a middleman war, the winner receives all the loser's assets, mercenaries, and intelligence network, while robbery only requires money, so robbery is more cost-effective.

"Nike, you have to be especially careful about Lazio's intelligence officer during your investigation. His performance has always been very good and he has a good reputation in the industry. To put it simply, that intelligence officer's ability is no less than that of Meteor. Even Nightingale and Rock Even if we work together, we can't beat him." Lucy said, "Because of the existence of such an intelligence officer, I don't expect to find enough information from the information network, and rely more on on-site inspections."

Zhuang Xuteng nodded and asked, "Since you rely so much on spot investigation, why didn't you give me this task earlier?"

Lucy sighed and said: "After all, we are all middlemen, and I have never wanted to take the initiative against my colleagues... I see that you have been very enthusiastic about working these two days, and you already want to grab simple jobs, so I will give it to you." Make it more difficult."

"You don't want to attack your colleagues? Why did you change your mind?"

"Because Ge Gongdao told me that the former mercenaries of Moat Company have begun to discuss the issue of compensation, and this matter will be put on the table soon. I am not rich, so I want to make some extra money. Of course, I also have a reason It is suspected that the mercenaries of Moat Security Company thought of joining forces to seek compensation after being reminded by a tall and strong man, and this is also one of the steps that the tall and strong man took to gain more power in the company. "

"I have also asked for compensation due to unemployment. My advice is: do what you have agreed to do. The longer it takes, the easier it will be to cause big problems."

"It's not me who's holding back the solution now, but the middlemen association. I want to resolve it as soon as possible and start business normally as soon as possible, but I can only resolve my own part and can't pay for others. I would have given it to you earlier As I said, some middlemen should be eliminated from the industry." Lucy waved her hands and said, "Speaking of Lazio, his headquarters is built in the Southern Star Playground, just like my music restaurant. All of his employees may be his direct staff. Be careful when you go there and don’t alert others.”

Peicheng is a weird place. The middlemen have more or less eccentricities, and through their eccentricities they have extended additional industries. Lucy was engaged in real estate, and Henry opened a gym and boxing club. This Lazio had a special liking for amusement facilities and opened an amusement park called "Star of the South" in the southern part of the hub area near the edge of the beltway.

When it was grandly opened, it caused quite a stir in Peicheng. At least the advertisements went to the outskirts of the city. Zhuang Xuteng also saw it when he was a child. Going to the Southern Star for a day of fun was his ultimate dream for a long time when he was a child. For this reason, he saved all the money he earned from doing odd jobs in the town, dreaming of having a great time.

When he was a child, he never saved enough money. When he grew up, became sensible and mature, and found it boring to use the money to go to the amusement park, it all became his sister's tuition and living expenses. Now that he is more mature, at least financially he no longer has to worry about not having enough money to go to the amusement park, but he has taken a job targeting the owner of the amusement park. In this job, you'll first be spying, then robbing, and finally, you may even have to kill someone! When Zhuang Xuteng thought of this change, he felt a little ironic and a little sad.

Being targeted by middlemen such as Lucy, unless Lazio is good at using all forces to its advantage and find a way out by maneuvering around, this playground is destined to close down. Thinking of this, Zhuang Xuteng felt that in addition to checking the situation of the amusement park, he should also seize the last chance to have fun at the amusement park, at least to fulfill his childhood dream.

Just...just go there!

Zhuang Xuteng neither changed his appearance nor acted secretly. After he came out of the music restaurant, he drove the armored vehicle straight to the Southern Star Amusement Park. After arriving, he discovered that the parking lot that could originally accommodate more than a hundred cars now only had about a dozen cars parked alone, not to mention how deserted it was. But it’s right to think about it. It’s late winter now and spring is still some time away. There are indeed very few people coming here to play despite the cold wind.

When he came to the ticket office, the sign that read "Winter Special Price Reduction" was almost completely covered with snow. He wiped it with his hand, then pointed to the 50% off advertisement on the sign and bought a cheap ticket. The fat sister who sold the tickets ignored Zhuang Xuteng and continued to knit by the stove after issuing the tickets. When Zhuang Xuteng walked away a little, she quickly picked up the phone and called Lazio, saying that a suspicious and dangerous guy had just entered the playground.

She thought she was hiding it well, but she underestimated Zhuang Xuteng's enhanced hearing. Especially in the playground, there are not many people and there is little noise interference, so it is more useful to strengthen your hearing.

"Just report it. Lazio can either ignore me or come to me, I'll have a reason to get mad. Keep the ticket stub. I can spend money here, not sneak in to peek. Uh, there are too few people here, it seems quite difficult to sneak in."

With few people, there are fewer rides still in operation, most of which are indoor rides. The only outdoor rides are the roller coasters, pirate ships, carousels, etc., which are more popular and relatively more energy-efficient. For example, if one person goes up, all the hanging baskets have to rotate a full circle, which is not very cost-effective, so that project was stopped.

"What a pity. The Ferris wheel was originally the most suitable for observing the entire amusement park. Anyway, I don't like to do that. It's not fun to be slow." Zhuang Xuteng shrugged and walked to the first open shop at the door. He ordered a big pink marshmallow and a cup of hot chocolate.

The marshmallows were sweet and the hot chocolate was warm, but his implant reminded him that cheap flavorings were added to both things, and the latter had a high fat content. Zhuang Xuteng had no objection to this. The cotton candy and drinks outside tasted like this. The playground did not cut corners or secretly add safety blue or other things. It was completely acceptable.

"Sir, do you want to do archery? You can get prizes according to the ring technique?" Next to the food and beverage store is the archery hut, with a target in the middle and various stuffed toys on the walls on both sides and the roof shelves.

"Are you sure?" Zhuang Xuteng was happy and said, "Although it's not good to be closed due to lack of people, you will definitely lose money if you ask me to shoot archery."

"Even if I lose money, it's better than standing in the cold wind."

"Okay, then I'll start playing with you. I used to dream that I could win the grand prize here, which is a huge yellow duck, and then I would take it home and show it off to people along the way."

"Yellow duck? Oh, that was a long time ago. When I first opened, I bought a total of 50 yellow ducks, but I didn't use that kind of duck later, and I couldn't buy it." The clerk took two euros from Zhuang Xuteng and brought him a bow and 20 arrows. The grand prize requires a total score of 200 rings to get it, and the highest ring on the target is ten, so at least 20 arrows are needed to make up the score.

But the space on the target for the ten rings is limited, not enough to place all 20 arrows, there must always be some nine rings and eight rings to make up the number, unless you meet Zhuang Xuteng.

In fact, he had never practiced archery, only shooting and throwing. If he competed in ghost energy bullet shooting or throwing knives, he would not have to cheat. He knew very well that the bow in his hand was not stable, and the arrows came from different batches, so it was impossible to pursue the feeling habit. The resentful spirit tentacles were directly used to construct a cylindrical track, and the arrows could only "slide" along the wall of the cylinder. Then Zhuang Xuteng pulled the bow with the greatest force inside, which was equivalent to shooting arrows against the target, right?

Then he used the resentful spirit tentacles to stabilize the arrows on the target, not letting any of them fall off. Zhuang Xuteng successfully filled the ten rings with arrows, densely packed and without any gaps.
