Nobility

The master concentrated on teaching Ge Gong Tao sword dance martial arts. Zhuang Xuteng was not only unable to attend, but was also dragged by Lucy to do voluntary labor. Although mercenaries do not get paid and do nothing, it is their obligation to be busy for the master's retirement ceremony.

The ceremony is called golden basin hand washing, which is actually a gold-plated copper basin. This kind of retirement ceremony is not only used by mercenaries, but also used by some gangs. The process is similar. A group of people gather together to eat, brag and fight if something happens.

, leave as soon as possible if nothing happens. Lucy believes that the simpler the process, the better, and the less words are said, the better, so as to avoid unnecessary complications.

Whether it’s a mercenary or a middleman, who doesn’t want to have a happy ending? But this industry has a characteristic: when you help some people, you tend to offend others. Tasks with high fees are difficult, and the more difficult the task, the more people you will offend.

The more you offend, the stronger you offend. This has always been the case.

It's okay to offend a colleague, but at worst I'll help him today, and I'll help you tomorrow, and try to make up for it later. We're all colleagues, and everyone wants to have a good death. As long as it's not a blood feud, it can be resolved easily. The trouble is actually offending people outside.

Especially large companies, they will sometimes regain their position regardless of the cost.

The purpose of holding a golden basin washing conference is actually to hope that colleagues can take care of each other. We all meet and get to know each other. If we can inform others or give people a little shelter from the storm, this is a great favor. Favors will not be in vain.

Even if retirees don’t

If they come back again, won't they still have apprentices? If Zhuang Xuteng and Ge Gongdao can become famous, they can return favors, whether they are positive or negative. The stronger they are, the other middlemen and mercenaries will take a high look at them.

The Famine Stranger is the best support.

The task given by Lucy to Zhuang Xuteng was to keep an eye on the venue and keep an eye on everyone with a suspicious attitude. The retirement ceremony was held in a music restaurant. This was Lucy's territory, so it was easier to control the scene. The chef, security, and band

They are also from Lucy, so you can feel safe using them.

Even if they are all our own people, as a commissioned task, Zhuang Xuteng's in-depth participation is still very necessary. He represents the interests of the famine strangers and is an indispensable part of the entire ceremony. Zhuang Xuteng is also unambiguous and uses a very professional spirit

Inspecting the venue, constantly reviewing every detail, and by the way, Lucy's shadow buried in every corner was searched out from the monitoring and alarm devices.

"How did you find it? If you dig again, you will tear down my base..." Lucy put her head in her hands and said helplessly to Zhuang Xuteng: "What did Ge Gongdao do? Hurry up and let him take your place."

Zhuang Xuteng expressed his understanding to Lucy, but before Gogong Road completed the special training, he would still use the Eye of Shadow to search for targets everywhere. This is called doing his duty. The special training lasted for a week, and the Famine Stranger took the Gogong Road to leave.

The car arrived at the music restaurant. During the last three days before the ceremony, he would stay at the restaurant, along with his two apprentices.

Ge Gongdao walked in with a tired look on his face, nodded to everyone, waved to Zhuang Xuteng, and then walked straight to the bar. He ordered two large meat set meals, drank a glass of ginger beer for himself, and then sat down in a booth in the corner.

middle.

"What's wrong with you?" Zhuang Xuteng first sent Master to the residence upstairs, and then walked towards Ge Gongdao with a smile. He patted Brother Dao on the leg as if he saw a joke. Judging from the strength of the feedback, Brother Dao was absolutely

Exhausted. "How did you train? Didn't you use dormant martial arts to recover? Aren't all the mice dead?"

"Everyone is dead. They were all dead two days ago. I almost died from exhaustion." Ge Gongdao shook his head and handed the empty beer glass to Zhuang Xuteng: "Go get me another drink and I'll tell you something.

.”

After Zhuang Xuteng came back, Ge Gongdao took another sip of beer, burped hard and knocked on his chest, saying: "I finally understand what the sword dance martial arts is and why I can't teach it to you. It requires re-establishing conditioned reflexes.

The process can only be practiced after seven flashes

.And the conditioned reflexes it establishes are different from those of normal people. Most of them are reversed and require special usage of Qingquan to cooperate. You are right not to learn sword dance - the effect of it with or without Qingquan is much different. Approximately

It is three times or one third of the normal seven flashes.”

"The gap is so big?" Zhuang Xuteng looked shocked.

Ge Gongdao nodded. He took the doubled meat sauce set meal from the waiter and put it on the table first. After the people left, he continued: "If you want to unleash the power of the sword dance, you must use the clear spring as your body."

part of the body, so that the whole person's conditioned reflexes in close combat will be rearranged. Master's experiment

However, without Qingquan and using swords with the same appearance, his strength will also drop greatly. He should be weaker than Qifan who does not use sword dance at all. He thinks that sword dance martial arts is a very partial thing. He pursues power in an extreme way and does not consider it.

Applicability, it’s completely understandable if I choose not to pass it on.”

Zhuang Xuteng scratched his head and said: "I don't think there's that much to pick and choose. It's pretty good if it can produce enough power. The master has changed from an ordinary person to being able to compete with the company's masters. He must have invested in the sword dance martial arts."

We put a lot of effort into it, but we can’t let it disappear.”

"That's what I think too." Ge Gongdao filled a few mouthfuls of meat sauce rice with a spoon, swallowed it wholeheartedly and took a breath, and said: "Master set the standard at the beginning, whoever reaches Seven Flashes first will learn this martial art. In addition to spurring

In addition to our progress, he also has another purpose: to see who among us is smarter

Ming. He hopes that people who learn sword dance can improve this martial skill and make its upper and lower limits more stable. It is best not to rely on Qingquan. Or settle for the second best, even if it is not as good as Qingquan, if it can use other weapons to display its martial arts.

Power will do, too. Naike, this smart man should have been you."

"Pull him down, it will be great if you are a senior brother." Zhuang Xuteng shook his head and said: "I prefer to deal with enemies from a distance. I can use grenades, guns, and weird spells to try not to get into close combat. Besides, I usually

I don’t pay attention to things like boxing and using swords, and I have no idea about improving martial arts. You can work hard on your own, I will be a sparring partner at most."

"Whether it's me practicing or you as a sparring partner, it will have to wait until after the seven flashes. If you don't polish off all the original conditioned reflexes, you can't practice new martial arts. Now I just memorize all the contents of the martial arts and continue to deepen them.

Memory, nothing else can be done. Master is right about one thing: this martial skill is very weird."

"Then you practice hard. If you don't practice well, you may not be able to beat me. Uh... you don't know how to use a clear spring when we are sparring, right? If you don't use a clear spring, you definitely can't beat me?"

"Oh, it's possible." Ge Gongdao sighed, shook his head, and said, "Let's talk about it then! Not being able to beat you is a spur to me. Anyway, as long as I can get Qingquan to be stronger than you. In the enemy

In front of you, senior brother will protect you."

"Okay, just be tough! Stop bragging and eat quickly! After dinner, pick up my shift. I've been here for a week, but it's suffocating me to death." Zhuang Xuteng waved his hand and told Ge Gongdao to fill up.

With my stomach in my stomach, I huddled in the booth and began to think.

The sword dance martial arts relies more heavily on Qingquan's long sword than imagined. If the lower limit is 30%, then seven flashes may not be able to defeat six flashes. Although Qingquan has never let the master down, there is only one weapon, no matter what

It is a hidden danger.

It would be great if there was a second clear spring... Zhuang Xuteng thought of the black market businessman Boss Qian, who seemed to be able to buy exactly the same thing. Zhuang Xuteng waited for Brother Dao to finish eating, handed him the task of guarding the venue, and excused himself to go out to relax

After enjoying some fun, he left the music restaurant and went to the black market. He waited outside the Black Flag Grocery Store for Boss Qian to finish receiving the previous customer, and then walked in.

"Long time no see. Aren't you preparing for your master's golden basin hand-washing ceremony? Why did you think of me here? Do you want to buy something?" Boss Qian wiped the table with a rag and asked Zhuang Xuteng to sit down.

"The long sword my master used, Qingquan, can you get a second one?" Zhuang Xuteng asked.

Boss Qian's eyes widened and he asked, "Have you lost your master's sword?"

"No! Why did you start talking nonsense... Can you get the second one? Just tell me this!"

"Yes, as long as it's not unique in the world or goes beyond the rules of the world, you can theoretically get it, it just depends on the price." Boss Qian raised his hand and tapped a few times in the air. He stared at the air, his eyes a little complicated.

, with a crooked mouth and grinning expression: "Qingquan, high-end shadow weapon, copy price: 300,000 euros plus a destiny gold coin."

Zhuang Xuteng had a destiny gold coin. He nodded and said: "Three hundred thousand euros is not expensive, and it is very suitable for a shadow slave."

"Wait a minute, don't say you want to buy a handful, otherwise it won't be appropriate if the deal is actually done." Boss Qian stopped Zhuang Xuteng and said, "Listen to me, the gold coins of destiny are very precious. If you can't afford it, don't spend it. Let's just talk about Qingquan.

, it is not a unique item in the world, but it is very rare - this one was actually made - and most of its value is here. It can also be made, and it has the same function, but it is not a clear spring."

Zhuang Xuteng frowned and asked Boss Qian to explain clearly.

"If you want a second spring, you have two options: Give it to you directly now, so that there are two identical springs in the world. The price is 300,000 euros and a gold coin of destiny. If the existing spring disappears, the new spring will be

Qingquan is the only clear spring in the world, and the price is 3.8 million euros." Boss Qian said: "I checked, if you don't want Qingquan, it just has the same function - the appearance will be different, but only for those who are familiar with it.

Only then can you notice it - and it only costs two million euros."

Zhuang Xuteng understood that the more unique you are, the more expensive you are. Uniqueness is the most expensive. You must use destiny gold coins to turn the only one into a match. He thought about it carefully, suddenly laughed, and said: "You are really a profiteer! You

If you can sell a clear spring, can you build a clear spring?"

"Uh...it can be repaired. The repair price depends on the degree of damage. It is more expensive to completely restore it, but if you only restore the function, it will definitely be much cheaper than buying one." Boss Qian pinched his nose, highlighted his innocence, and continued to argue:

"I was only thinking about buying and selling, and I really forgot about repairs."

"As long as you can repair it." Zhuang Xuteng was relieved, and then he had an idea and asked: "Do you sell the repair method of Qingquan's sword here?"

Boss Qian covered his forehead and nodded painfully: "You can buy it. If it is restricted to only people who own a clear spring can understand it - this is also the most economical way - the repair method only costs 10,000 euros."

"I'll buy a set." Zhuang Xuteng said with a smile: "Can you guarantee that the users of Qingquan can understand it?"

"I can definitely understand it. I can also tell you that you can find repair tools on the market, so don't go to the black market and waste money. But the materials needed for repair are hard to find, so you'd better come to me for repair."

"I understand that if I need anything, I will come to you. In fact, if you can open these services to Brother Dao, you won't need me to run around."

Boss Qian shook his head and said: "I still haven't been authorized to tell him the truth about the store. If you tell him what happened here, I can only deny it, and it will also affect your service, so you'd better not do this

Dry."

Zhuang Xuteng nodded and said: "I understand, I will respect your rules. By the way, Boss Qian, you know that my master is retiring. He has arranged his life after retirement, but I want him to be more secure. You are here

Is there anything relevant that can ensure his safety?"

Boss Qian laughed, shook his head slowly, and said: "Safety is a very good commodity, but there is no best one. No, the thing you are talking about does not exist. No matter how many destiny gold coins you use, you can't use it."

You can't buy a guarantee of safety. But what you can buy is a safe method, such as a good fake identity. The Famine Stranger will definitely use a fake identity after he retires, right? His original information is with the middleman, although it is difficult to use it back

Yes, but it will still be restricted by the middleman, right?"

"I don't know this. Even if I know it, I can't say it. Answering yes or no will be detrimental to my master."

"I understand, I completely understand. But I suggest you buy a fake identity as a backup in case you need it, right?" Boss Qian said: "A package includes a disguise mask, a set of identity information, and a clean bank account. You can

Use it to escape detection. There are also such services on the black market, but they all use information about dead people, or drug addicts who choose to sell their identities, so it is not safe. The information sold by White Flag Grocery Store is good, generally

I can handle the inspection.”
