space broker

After spending a not-so-good night in the Xiaoyanglou, Anton returned to the real world after breakfast the next day.

He doesn't have the Xiaoyaoxian that E wants, but he knows where to find it, and it doesn't cost money.

The East Second Ring Road of the capital, a place where every inch of land is expensive, is full of magnificent high-rise buildings, but there are a few old-fashioned apartment buildings that look quite old at first glance.

Ordinary citizens would say, "Oh, that's the diplomatic apartment."

In fact, this was indeed a diplomatic apartment in the past, but now it is the office of the messenger mission in Beijing.

The old-style apartment that can bear the name of "diplomacy" comes with a spacious courtyard, surrounded by towering walls and dense plants.The guards are equipped in full accordance with the specifications of the embassy area. If you walk into the compound, you can see the anti-collision ground thorns hidden under the road every 30 meters.

At this time, Anton was standing at the gate of the compound, and was about to greet Shiwu in the morning, when the guard on duty at the gate told him to brush his face.

It's really interesting, he can use his face to swipe his face, and it would be funny to swipe the most wanted messenger group later.

Unexpectedly, a purple light swept across his face, and the green light for the gate turned on.

The guard saluted him.

Anton walked into the gate expressionlessly.

When did his face work so well?Fifteen must have done a good job.

Sure enough, as soon as he entered the building, there were sentries to lead the way, and he arrived at Shiwu's office soon.

Anton thought that a person like Shiwu must pay attention to official style, but he didn't expect that his office was not big, and the furnishings were very ordinary. There were even two small pots of plump and tender succulents next to the computer.

"Don't you want to pinch this when you see it?"

Seeing that Anton's gaze fell on the succulent, Shiwu immediately took the two small flower pots away, "Why are you here?"

Anton explained E's doubts and demands, and then said: "I know that you have confiscated many Xiaoyao Xian, you can file a part of it, and treat it as an official cooperation, E said he would go to the embassy. greet."

Shiwu said with a straight face, "Then why didn't he tell me directly yesterday."

Huh?This is jealousy and temper tantrums.

Anton said: "Do you know what is love and hate? E hates you because he loves you so much."

Fifteen struggled for a while with a cloudy face, and returned to the most common calm state: "Okay, the messenger group can support this operation, but you don't need to worry about the rest of the matter, I will send people to follow up."

Anton nodded in agreement when he heard that. Originally, he was looking for E just to get inhibitors for Fatty, and finding out that there was something wrong with the components of Xiaoyao Xian was an added surprise. He didn't mind sending this surprise to the messenger group.

After everything was done, Anton got up to say goodbye. Before leaving, he thought about the traitor and asked, "How about that?"

Fifteen shook his head, and made a downward movement with a knife in his hand, which meant that the clue was broken.

Anton thought for a while and said, "Shall we have dinner together on the weekend? I have a small gift for you."

This is to hand over Pei Wanchun.

Fifteen's eyes lit up, and his whole face became vivid, "Okay."

Anton felt that this kid was a hard worker, only three or four years older than him, but he looked like the sky was falling and asked him to help him, so he kindly suggested to him, "Do you know what the real meaning of raising succulents is?"

Fifteen was slightly confused, "What is it?"

Anton: "It's just that when you're bored, squeeze and explode those little cockroaches."

Fifteen: "Get out of here!"

Anton left, but he didn't go back to Xiaoheilou or Yalan Xiaozhu, but took the subway to Chezhuang'er.

Chezhuanger is on the edge of the West Second Ring Road, about 300 meters along the side road, there is a flower, bird, fish and insect market, and some small cultural objects are also sold.The scale of the market is small, and it was already full of voices after nine o'clock, but these people are not here to buy flowers and small fish, but a bunch of brokers.

This is Che Zhuang'er's true identity - a free market broker.

Anton has long wanted to come and have a look around, and it happened that he also had a few local products brought back from Mexico, so he brought them here to inquire about prices.

Following the alley surrounded by shops, Anton quickly walked to the end of the alley, and immediately saw a multifunctional pocket knife in the window of a shop.This kind of knife produced by It Space Arsenal is not as heavy as the Swiss Army Knife, and its function is not so fancy, but the steel edge is very good, sharp and tough.

Anton pushed the door and entered the shop, the copper bell hanging on the lintel made a crisp jingle.Going inside and looking around, I found that the small shop is not big, tidy and tidy, and there are not many products on display, but insiders can see that everything is high-quality goods.

When Anton entered, the shopkeeper was packing things in the back warehouse, and when he heard the bell, he yelled, "Look for yourself first, I'll be right over."

Anton took down the pocketknife in the window for a closer look, and then took out the dagger that Qin Guan had given him to compare the steel muzzle.

At this time, the shopkeeper suddenly appeared behind him and said, "The dagger is not bad, is it for sale?"

Anton was startled, with his vigilance, he didn't notice this person approaching!Looking back, I saw a young man who was about the same height as him, with a handsome face.

"I'm here to buy things, not to sell anything."

The young man looked at the dagger regretfully, "Well, it should be because I have no fate with it."

Anton: "I've only heard that there are no predestined relationships with jade, but is that even the case with cold weapons now?"

The young man smiled with crooked eyebrows, "Just join in the fun, what else can I say?" 'Dude, have you seen blood on this dagger? If you haven't, why don't you give it to me, I'll take it to eat meat', Don’t scare everyone away.”

Anton thought this man was quite funny, and he was pleasing to the eye, so he decided to open an account for him, "How do you sell a jackknife?"

The young man raised his eyebrows, "It's not for sale, I just put it there to make people greedy."

Greedy asshole, this is because he wants to buy it and is going to raise the price.

Anton put down his jackknife, "Okay, then I won't be unloved." He turned around and opened the door to leave, but his shoulders sank.

"Hey, do you really like it or fake it? If you really like it, we can talk again."

Ha ha.

I didn't expect this chat to talk about a lot of things.

The young man seemed to be about the same age as Anton, but knew a lot.From cold weapons to firearms, from how to cook bone broth to turn milky white, to the advantages and disadvantages of the two camps in space, there seems to be nothing he doesn't know.

In fact, this kind of rhetoric is very annoying, and others would think that he is full of guns and bragging, but Anton can hear that he has something to say.Especially when analyzing the embassy, ​​the reason why Jiang Yi was pushed to the front this time was clearly stated.Anton thought that if he didn't know Jiang Su and didn't have a relationship with the messenger group, he wouldn't be able to think so deeply.

The youth is a typical young master of the Beijing school. When the guests come, they will make tea, and they are particular about the tea and tea sets and refreshments.Whether to buy or not is secondary, everyone can make friends first.

There are chairs and coffee tables in the small shop, and the winter sunlight falls on their shoulders through the glass, making them feel warm.

They smoke casually, and both of them are quite addicted to cigarettes, but the store has installed a fresh air system, so they don't feel choking at all.

The snacks are delicious, and the tea is also smooth.

Anton and the young man got along very comfortably, but under the influence of a certain light and shadow, he suddenly found that the young man looked familiar, and then a faint smell passed through his nostrils wrapped in smoke.Anton was sure he must have smelled it somewhere.It's not a scent or a bad smell, but a very light body odor on people.

"Have we met before?" Anton asked.

The young man was talking about his experience of sneaking into the Academy of Agricultural Sciences, and he couldn't help but pause, "No."

But Anton didn't miss every word he said while searching his memory, "Have you sneaked into the Academy of Agricultural Sciences?"

"That's right." The young man said with a smile: "Although the Academy of Agricultural Sciences has nothing valuable, it is also the territory of AMS. This was unprecedented in those days. But then there was a new broker who was stronger than me, and not only got many ambassadors The regiment’s medicine, and arranged for people to lurk into the embassy’s medical center, do you think it’s awesome?”

He was talking about Anton.

It's very cool to hear others praise yourself, but Anton noticed that it was the Academy of Agricultural Sciences he mentioned.

The Academy of Agricultural Sciences really has nothing of value, and before the Cold War, the Academy of Agricultural Sciences was open to them. After the Cold War, because of the lack of economic value, no brokers would go there.And there was only one person who had been there in the entire brokerage circle, and he was still talked about and even admired by the insiders...

Anton: "You are Cheng Fengyang."

The young man nodded and smiled, "That's right."

The smell in the breath finally found the corresponding memory point, and the familiar face was restored to its original appearance under the effect of light and shadow.

Cheng Fengyang in its space is of medium build, with mediocre facial features.Cheng Fengyang, who was sitting in front of Anton now, was taller, with bigger eyes, straighter nose, thinner lips, raised mouth corners, narrower face, and younger age.

Anton judged: "You used AG." AG surgery can only modify the appearance, so it is not as strict as GE's control. I have heard that there are black clinics in its space that specialize in this area of ​​business.

Cheng Fengyang smiled and spread his hands, "How is it? The effect is good." Then he leaned forward, "Anton, are you thinking about how to stab me to death?"

Anton's dagger and arsenal pocketknife were placed on the tea table between the two of them, and the blades reflected the dazzling light.

"I can't beat you." Cheng Fengyang is very frank, "But if you do it, you don't even think about getting out of Chezhuang'er alive. Actually, I didn't expect to meet you today, but just when you were covered in clouds and mist by me, I have already notified my subordinates, if you don’t believe me, just look around and you will know.”

Cheng Fengyang didn't lie.

The originally bustling alleys have become silent at some point, and all the shops are closed.If a broker wants to enter the Chezhuanger market at this time, he will be stopped by a large group of vicious thugs and told to suspend business today.

Anton lit a cigarette, "So what are you going to do now? Avenge Pei Wanchun, or capture me and hand it over to Tianyinghui?"

"Of course not." Cheng Fengyang made a grimace, "What kind of thing is Pei Wanchun? He was anxious to claim credit from me, thinking that you monopolized Zimenghua and I hated you. Hehe, short-sighted bastard, dead Forget it. As for the Tianying Society..."

Cheng Fengyang laughed loudly, "Why should I help the trash in its space catch you? That's a bunch of self-righteous idiots, including the 'me' in its space."

Anton was not confused by his rhetoric, but just waited and watched.

Cheng Fengyang's arrogance was fully reflected in just a few words. If all the people and everything in the past showed that space people discriminated against the real world, then Cheng Fengyang was the first to despise the other party in turn.

When a person shows their arrogance without shy away, they are either stupid or have real skills.

Cheng Fengyang is obviously not an idiot.He is someone who can equalize with the little prince, and can also make the messenger group helpless.

"You think I'm a bad guy, don't you?" Cheng Fengyang looked at Anton with a smile.

Anton took a puff of cigarette, "Actually, you didn't bother me except Pei Wanchun kidnapped my brother."

"Even if I made Xiaoyaoxian?"

"It's hard to say. As far as I'm concerned, neither the buyer nor the seller is very good." One is the devil, and the other is willing to accept the temptation of the devil. No one is much better than the other.

Cheng Fengyang raised his eyebrows and clapped his hands vigorously a few times, "It's indifferent and to the point, I like it!"

Anton: "Can I go?"

Cheng Fengyang reached out to the store door and said: "You can leave at any time. But don't you have any questions to ask me? After all, you have already discovered my base in Mexico, haven't you?"

Anton smiled, "Will you tell me if I ask you?"

Cheng Fengyang said generously: "You ask, I'll see if you can get the point."

Anton thought to himself: Who is this frightening?If you don't know the point, will he become "a short-sighted thing, even if he dies" like Pei Wanchun?

"Are you researching distorted space to find passages to other parallel worlds?"

Cheng Fengyang's pupils suddenly dilated, "Mom! I like you so much, what should I do? What should I do!"

In fact, there are traces of Anton's ability to raise this question.

The Mexican angel described the distorted space as a maze, and Jiang Su also mentioned the speculation of the old AMS academician.Based on Cheng Fengyang's understanding of Mexico and its space, the information he has obtained is no more than this, then assuming that Cheng Fengyang believes that the distorted space is really the intersection of multiple dimensions as the old academician said, his purpose is clearly revealed .

This is the benefit of being rich in information.

Cheng Fengyang stood up and paced in the store, "The messenger group has narrow vision and can't see a further way out. They can only be held hostage by the garbage in their space step by step to satisfy their insatiable needs. In fact, we have completely There is another way to go, but few people have the courage and vision.”

Anton asked lightly, "Which way are you referring to?"

Cheng Fengyang stepped in front of him, opened his mouth as if to say something, but narrowed his eyes and smiled narrowly, "No, I can't tell you now, because you are not the same as me at the moment. But I believe, always One day you will be able to recognize reality on your own, and by then, you will be my brother who accompanied me through this journey."

Anton drank the tea in the cup and picked up his dagger, "It's not so easy to be my brother, so leave."

Cheng Fengyang looked at his leaving back, "If you want to drink tea or chat in the future, come here and find me!"
