Chapter 139 Chapter 137 Master
"You're going to meet your master, are you nervous?"
Ge Gongdao pushed the front seat all the way to the end and laid it back, lying comfortably on it, and put his feet on the driving platform. Seeing that he had just been released from the detention center and finally came to a place where he could feel at ease and relax, Zhuang Xuteng pretended not to see it.
"Not nervous, just a little bit expectant. I've prepared myself for fatigue, pain, and mental insults. These were commonplace for me during school, and this time will definitely be no different. Well... maybe there is a difference, that is, I must be an excellent student this time." Zhuang Xuteng asked while driving: "What kind of person is Famine Stranger?"
"You'll know when you see him, and you'll see for yourself when the time comes." Ge Gongdao stretched out his hand to Zhuang Xuteng and asked: "Do you have cigarettes?"
"Cigars or pipes? Cigars... It's in the drawer in front of you, and the lighter is also in it." Zhuang Xuteng pointed casually, and then asked: "Why did you think of finding a master?"
"My former companion came to me and talked for a long time - the death of Winter Wolf touched her a lot." Ge Gongdao smiled lightly, and said while picking up the cigar: "She can be regarded as making up for the loss - she told me a lot of information about Viper. That bastard climbed up The Blood Bat Gang, it is said that they have some connections with the Scarlet Group through the gang, and their strength has been improved. It is almost impossible to kill him head-on with my current level. "
"Do you have no chance with me?"
"It will be much better with you, but the risk is still great, so I want to improve myself. In fact, a long time ago, I wanted to find a top mercenary to obtain the inheritance, so I worked very hard to establish my credibility and reputation. I like to keep my word, so it is natural to do so. But I have to admit that for the sake of credibility and reputation, I must carefully select the commissions and avoid those money-making jobs that may be unpopular on both sides, which has also caused some dissatisfaction. "
Zhuang Xuteng said: "Viper's betrayal is his own problem. Didn't he also trick D Pang this time? It has nothing to do with how to choose the commission task. "
"Haha, you are right." Ge Gongdao took a puff of the cigar, then choked and coughed, shook his head and put it down again. "No, I still can't adapt to it-I heard others say how handsome and comfortable it is, it seems that only I know whether the shoes are suitable. "
Zhuang Xuteng nodded. He can suck it, but there is no need. These things are used to manage relationships.
"Where were we talking about? Oh, right. Before, even if I made some money, I never used implants. On the one hand, it was my first time in the industry and I lacked experience. On the other hand, I thought about finding a master and listening to his advice. Later, I worked for a long time and saw more, and then I realized that I didn't need to be so careful. Skin-level implants are easy to replace, and the associated side effects are small. In fact, there is no need to wait that long. Oh, Lucy's house is here."
After the Middleman War, the original residence was no longer convenient to use, so Lucy moved to the spare residence temporarily. She will use the money and resources obtained from D Fatty to rebuild a new residence, which is suitable for the latest equipment and technology. This will take several months or even a year, but it will definitely be worth it.
At Lucy's place, Zhuang Xuteng met the Famine Stranger for the first time. He was a very stylish uncle. He had sharp edges and a gloomy expression. There was almost no light in his deep blue eyes, as if he was always wandering in the sky. In comparison, he is not as strong as Ge Gongdao, and does not look as smart as Zhuang Xuteng, but he is wearing an exquisite dark blue suit, and his gray hair is meticulously groomed and neatly combed back. In addition, there is a half-man-high long sword with a leather scabbard that is worn out with age next to him. All this makes him look handsome and outstanding, and you will definitely look at him more in the crowd.
But didn’t Lucy say that ordinary looks are an advantage?
Zhuang Xuteng nodded and greeted him, and the Famine Stranger’s head shook slightly, as a return greeting. Oh, it seems that this person is not easy to deal with, and you have to be careful. Zhuang Xuteng warned himself to be polite and resolutely not to use the Shadow Eye to scan. Well, there will definitely be opportunities in the future, and I can’t ruin the atmosphere now.
"You are not stupid. I will make it short." Lucy said, "I have arranged the training grounds and facilities for you. Everything is handed over to Famine Stranger. You two listen to him and do what he says. You have established a long-term commission. I am the middleman. The content of this commission is inheritance and responsibility."
Lucy pointed at all three of them and said, "Inheritance and responsibility, these two things are heartfelt, and they cannot be quantified very specifically like other commissions. From my personal point of view, I sincerely hope that you can get along well and turn this matter into a good story. In addition, I have two news to tell you: through consultation with other middlemen, Ge Gongdao, you are now my mercenary. Except for your name information that can no longer be taken back, everything else is available."
Ge Gongdao smiled and nodded, saying, "Okay, it seems that there are still good vision among the middlemen. What is the other news?"
"After investigation and research, everyone agrees that Viper is no longer a mercenary, but a gang member, and no one will assign tasks to him."
This news did not make Ge Gongdao happier, probably because everyone actually had a psychological expectation. After D Fat's death, the information of his mercenaries was made public, and Viper's name was already infamous. Other middlemen would not give him priority in tasks, and Viper did not have the courage of Ge Gongdao, who was willing to lower his price and start over from the bottom.
You must know that Zhuang Xuteng met Ge Gongdao during a demonstration. Even many new mercenaries were unwilling to do that kind of job of recruiting people because they felt that the price was low, but he did not dislike it.
Viper absolutely cannot do this. He will inevitably be ostracized by the middleman because of his inferiority. In fact, he is unemployed. Now announcing that he is no longer a mercenary is just a formal step.
"I was able to win before, thanks to the help of the three of you. I would like to express my gratitude." Lucy said: "As I said before, this is a long-term commission, as long as life to death, but I hope you can go beyond the commission and make it Become a part of your life. Well... that's a bit much to say. In the end, it all depends on your fate. If you don't get along, I can't help it, right?
At this time, Lucy looked at the Famine Stranger, obviously asking for his opinion.
"Gogong Dao is a bit too strong, and the training effect may not be very good; Scarecrow Naike is a bit ugly, not as good-looking as you said, and maybe there will be some discounts."
Unexpectedly, the Famine Stranger pointed out Zhuang Xuteng's appearance for the first time when he spoke. What does this have to do with inheritance? What can’t be passed down is actually that face, right? Zhuang Xuteng had a lot of complaints in his heart. He admitted that the Famine Stranger was quite handsome, but it was not so shocking that he would cry ghosts and gods. Besides, appearance can be artificially modified, and this type of implant is very popular in the market.
Lucy nodded and said, "It seems that you are quite satisfied with them, so I feel relieved."
Wait, where is the satisfaction shown? It took Zhuang Xuteng some strength to turn this corner. It turns out that the Famine Stranger is talking about the shortcomings of the two people in his eyes, one is strong and the other is ugly, so the others are acceptable.
But Ge Gongdao is a little too strong. How am I really ugly?
"I left them to you. It just so happens that there is nothing going on in the market right now, so you can train with peace of mind." Lucy said.
The Famine Stranger nodded slowly, and then said: "I will teach attentively, and they also need to learn attentively. Listen carefully, you two, the key to whether you can learn or not is up to you, so cheer up. I can teach you all my life, But I can’t watch you train all the time. This beginning is the most important. It took me four months, and I hope you can get started in three months.”
Zhuang Xuteng raised his hand and asked, "Do you also have a master?"
"No, I caught someone and tortured him for four months to dig out his skills and abilities. You don't need to dig out me, so I give you three months. It doesn't mean that your talents are necessarily better than mine. It's just that you I'm so lucky to have this opportunity. Also, don't always use the word "you" to address me, but use the word "Master". But not now. Let's wait until you kneel down and kowtow."
Is there still a ceremony of kowtow? This was a custom in the past, but is now rare. It is said that the person who kowtows is called master, highlighting the word "father". The master-disciple relationship is like the father-son relationship, which is the most important inheritance besides blood. Those who do not kowtow are called masters. What they learn is ability. The main thing that maintains the relationship is the inheritance of technology. The emotional bond is not as deep as the master.
Zhuang Xuteng has always believed that it doesn't matter if you kowtow physically, but it's whether you kowtow mentally and spiritually that matters. Whether you are strong or not is only one aspect; whether your character is good or not is the key deciding factor.
"You adult men can handle it on your own, so I won't interfere. You can prepare to go now." Lucy waved and said to Zhuang Xuteng: "Take this mask and wear it during training. He said you It’s ugly, just cover it up a little so it doesn’t bother your eyes!”
A wooden mask with three straps on it and holes for the eyes, nostrils and mouth. It has no other function except to cover the appearance.
The wooden mask caused a psychological shock to Zhuang Xuteng for three seconds. During that time, he had some doubts about his appearance. After all, Ge Gongdao did not need this thing. In addition to the wooden masks, Lucy also prepared seven sets of training uniforms for the two of them, three for Zhuang Xuteng and four for Ge Gongdao, all of the same style.
"Put on these clothes. They are wear-resistant and can protect wounds and stop bleeding quickly. Just think of them as bandages that you wear with you. Wear new ones every day. Give the old ones to the famine stranger, and he will soak them in potion to restore them." Function. Put it on now." Lucy said: "Ge Gongdao is big, so his clothes should be soaked, so I'll give you four sets of fabrics. Bring them back to me in three months. I spent a lot of money on this training, so I have to save some money..."
