Pinnacle Armor

Xin Xunyang was led to the seventh floor of the mercenary guild.

From the third floor onwards, rooms with good sound insulation are designed for the clients to interview with the mercenaries, and the staff in charge of guiding will carefully avoid the occasional encounter between the two groups of people, thoroughly Protect the privacy of both parties to the transaction.

"The client is waiting inside, so it's inconvenient for me to go in." The worker stopped in front of a room door.

Xin Xunyang pushed open the door and went in without thinking, only to find that there were many more people inside than he had imagined.

One, two, three... eight.

In this small room, besides himself, there were actually eight knights!There is no such thing as a group of people engaging in interviews and competing for employment in mercenary commissions. In other words, the commission to be accepted this time may be a big deal?

Xin Xunyang closed the door calmly.

Now he is no longer "the son of General Xin", and no one will be polite to him because he cares about the power of the military.If he showed any flaws, he would be noticed immediately by other people present—in the mercenary world that believed in the law of the jungle, it was not a good thing to be looked down upon by partners.

"In this way, there are all the people." The fat man sitting on the flannel chair in the center of the room looked at the mercenaries present with satisfaction, and said.

Obviously, this is the client of this mission.

The fat man nodded to the man who looked like a secretary beside him. The man cleared his throat, took a step forward, and began to explain the situation, "Since you are here, you agree to accept this task by default. I don't want to talk nonsense. This is the beginning of the description of the task content. The task we are entrusting to do this time is actually not very complicated, but our boss has a few things to participate in the auction that will be held at the Blood Fox Auction this week, and we need everyone to make sure that the items are successfully auctioned. Just make sure it's safe before you go out."

Hearing this, the tense expressions of the mercenaries present relaxed a little.

There are two main types of auctions on Sitz Busters: one is that the auction house auctions the treasures they usually buy, earning the difference, or as an intermediary, accepting consignment from a third party after negotiating a share ratio; One is that the auction house provides the venue and the host, and those who want to auction something contact the auction house themselves, and then the auction house charges a certain handling fee as a reward.

The owner of the auction house is solely responsible for the safety of the former venue. If an accident occurs, the owner of the auction house will be responsible for compensating the losses of the guests; for the latter, the buyer will guarantee the safety of the item before it is successfully traded. Robbery, the loss is also borne by the buyer.

Generally, people who pursue security and are not short of money will choose the former cooperation plan.Those who want to earn more, are not willing to be spoiled by the auction house, and have certain confidence in their own strength will choose the latter method.Among those who choose the latter cooperation plan, there are two types: the seller himself is a knight, and the seller hires a knight as a bodyguard.

The client that Xin Xunyang met at this time obviously belonged to the latter.

Under normal circumstances, those who choose mercenaries as bodyguards should have high value items, high enough to earn a lot of money after paying all the mercenary commissions, otherwise it is better to cooperate directly with the auction house Good deal.

What kind of baby will it be?

Compared with the amount of his own commission, Xin Xunyang is more interested in the employer's treasure itself at this time.

Even if the commissions of all the mercenaries present are the lowest price in the market and are billed on a daily basis, the nine of them would still have spent around 20 interstellar coins.What's more, Xin Xunyang alone is not the lowest fee, and if other people can take on the same task as him, the star rating is at least the same as him, or even higher than him, and the commission will naturally not be so low.

The others obviously agreed with Xin Xunyang's thoughts. A bearded mercenary asked with a cautious attitude that was completely different from his rough image: "If it's not convenient for you to say it, you don't have to answer it. I can ask what you need?" What exactly are we protecting?"

Although the secretary said that the task was easy, it was a task of hiring nine mercenaries after all, maybe the things to protect were not simple?If it is a treasure that may attract high-ranking knights to come to snatch it, then they have to carefully measure their own strength.

As a businessman, Fatty is clearly aware of the thinking patterns of these mercenaries, and he laughed when he heard this, "I know what everyone is worried about, and I planned to ask Booth to take you to see it later, but since someone asked Well, it’s okay for me to say it here. This time I’m going to auction mainly three items—Sildan pearls, Odo furs, and...a Kodaja woman.”

Xin Xunyang frowned subconsciously.

"Oh, this little brother doesn't seem to like my business very much!" The fat man suddenly turned to Xin Xunyang and said.

How could he notice such subtle changes in his expression?

Xin Xunyang was slightly startled, but his answer was extremely calm, "My personal likes and dislikes will not affect the execution of the task."

"Of course, of course, I really believe in your professionalism." The fat man rubbed his hands and smiled kindly, "Although these three things are more expensive, the people who will buy them are usually rich men who pursue pleasure. , Theoretically, it will not cause violent snatching incidents, and I only came to you just in case... Now everyone can rest assured?"

"Ah."

"So be it!"

People expressed their opinions one after another.

Xin Xunyang also nodded silently.

Now that you have arrived at Sitz Buster, you must be mentally prepared, and you will encounter more things like human trafficking that are prohibited by the alliance in the future.But at this moment, he was still glad that Lu Xingxi insisted on not coming with him, otherwise if he knew what the commission was about... Even if he would accept the reality rationally in the end, he would definitely not feel comfortable in his heart, would he?

The secretary showed a professional smile and said, "Then, let's talk about the compensation issue that everyone cares about..."

******

Does this situation count as "meeting an old acquaintance in a foreign land"?

Sitting in the open-air cafe, Lu Xingxi was distracted by the thin man who kindly invited him to sit with him.

He didn't give any answer to the question of why he came to Sitz Buster.Fortunately, the skinny man is also sensible, so he waited a while and saw that Lu Xingxi didn't mean anything, so he changed the topic by himself.

"I'm staying at the Lei Peng Hotel, and Mo'er didn't come out today. She would be very happy if she knew you were here with Sizick." The thin man had a happy smile on his face, "Ah, yes, We have known each other for so long, it seems that we have never introduced each other. My name is Qin Mu, what is your name?"

"Andy Dimo." Lu Xingxi felt a little ironic when he said his alias for the first time to someone he knew before.

Qin Mu was stunned for a moment, and then he continued to talk to Lu Xingxi about his daughter...or the artificial intelligence "Mo'er" who inherited his daughter's personality.

After all, it was an artificial intelligence that he had modified himself, and Lu Xingxi was also a little concerned about Mo'er's current situation, so he listened more carefully.

"I bought her a body later." Qin Mu paused, "But it seems that Mo'er didn't adapt very well. I was looking for the technicians here to take a look at it these days, but I was afraid that they might not be able to fix it. ...meeting you must be the guidance of the heavens!"

I've long been used to this man's nagging appearance and logic, Lu Xingxi said in a matter-of-fact way: "If you need it, I can check it some other day."

"Can't you do it today?" Qin Mu showed a disappointed expression.

"I'm still looking for a job."

Hearing this, Qin Mu looked puzzled, "With your strength, the job should be delivered to your door by yourself, why do you need to go out to look for it? Ah, so to speak, I also have a few acquaintances here, if you need , I can help!"

This is an unexpected gain.

Seeing that Qin Mu's attitude wasn't perfunctory, Lu Xingxi didn't try to be forceful, and said, "That's great. If possible, I'd like to find a job in a bigger repair shop. May I ask if you know anyone who has a relationship with this?"

Qin Mu laughed, "Then you are asking the right person... There are not many knights who are more familiar with places like repair shops than I am. No problem, I will contact you after I ask the other party back, and leave a number. ?”

Lu Xingxi took the post-it note on the table and wrote down his terminal number and handed it to the other party.

Qin Mu carefully put away the note paper and said, "I can give you an answer as soon as tonight."

"Well, then please." Lu Xingxi stood up and said goodbye to the other party.

The problem that he thought would take a lot of time to solve was solved ahead of time because of this unexpected encounter. He couldn't help feeling a little dazed, not knowing what to do next, so he could only go back to his residence and wait for news from Qin Mu.

On the way back to the city, Lu Xingxi looked at the fruit and vegetable stalls on the street, and bought some vegetables by accident.

"Anyway, I'm going to live here all the time, so it's more convenient to cook by myself..." While convincing himself like this, Lu Xingxi sent a message to Xin Xunyang asking when he would come back.

Xin Xunyang's reply came relatively late, and Lu Xingxi had already returned to his residence and rolled up his sleeves to prepare to wash the vegetables before he heard the prompt beeping from the terminal.

"The mission has already started, and I can't go back for a few days. Pay attention to your own safety."

After reading the content of the reply, Lu Xingxi deleted the message, put the vegetables back into the basket, picked up the instant lunch box and stuffed it into the microwave to heat it.

If you are alone, there is no need to cook.

Lu Xingxi didn't take the matter of not being able to see Xin Xunyang for the next few days at first—although they were always together since they became partners, they were not separated for a short time, so there was nothing worth caring about.

But after two consecutive nights of tossing and turning, Lu Xingxi became entangled.

Coming out of the bathroom, while wiping the drops of water from his face, he looked at the sofa bed where Xin Xunyang had slept all night in a daze, until the terminal rang.

"Andy, my friend's repair shop just left a technician recently, and is urgently looking for someone, are you interested?" Qin Mu's voice came from the terminal, "If you want to go, Let's meet at the gate of the bank on Dole [-]th Avenue at noon."

After recovering, Lu Xingxi replied: "Okay. See you then."
