Chapter 237: The Police Catch the Thief (5)
"Why the trialists here are so honest is really worth studying", Ye Chen said: "Okay, let's not talk about that, then we have to establish a firm foothold here, and then slowly look for opportunities to see how we can better complete this task." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”
According to Yechen's meaning, it is better for them to have an industry in this city, so that it is convenient to deal with people from all walks of life. As for what store to open, the five girls have their own ideas, Hurt Yu wants to open a pastry shop, Wen Yun wants to open a jewelry store, Tang Wu wants to have a women's clothing store, and Catherine has no requirements - in the war years, she has no idea what store to open, if she has to choose, she wants to open a gun shop, this city does not ban guns. As a result, as soon as she said it, she was unanimously rejected by the other four in the team, what are you doing in the gun shop, it's too unintentional and too unatmospheric. In the end, because Yechen is the captain, it is up to her to make the decision, and they want to open a gift shop.
After deciding what store to open, the five girls began to prepare for the opening of the store.
First of all, they need to get a sum of money, rent a storefront, run procedures, decorate, buy, a lot of things, everything costs money, and it is a lot of money, and when the five of them enter this world, they don't have a penny on them here.
Making money is not a troublesome thing for Yechen and the others, as trialists, they are much better than ordinary people, in all aspects, there is no problem at all in making money to support themselves. But the problem now is that they need to scrape together a large amount of money in a short period of time - according to Wen Yun's estimation they need 50,000 pounds of start-up capital - which is difficult, and they can't waste a lot of time and energy on making money, after all, in the mission world, the tasks assigned by space are the most critical.
The formal channels can't go, so you can only choose some crooked ways.
"Stealing, robbing, cheating, which one comes faster?" Tang Wu drew haphazardly on the notebook and asked.
Wen Yun thought for a while and said: "It's better to steal, the robbery is too big, if you recruit the police, it will be troublesome, it will take too long to cheat, and it is easy to leave traces, in case you are caught by Shunteng, it will be bad, it is not a good choice, it is still safer to steal in comparison, and if you are more careful, the other party may not realize that you have lost something after a few days." ”
"Okay, we need to get the money together as soon as possible, don't delay here too long." Yechen said that this was the third day that they had entered this mission world, and as a result, nothing had started, and this progress was already very slow.
Wen Yun said: "No problem, there is another thing, I have found that there are still quite a few trialists in this city in the past few days." "There is a big difference between the trialists who have been rolling in the sea of blood in the corpse mountain and ordinary people, and Wen Yun, who is also a trialist, can see it at a glance. Although they also made some cover-ups and acted like ordinary people, this kind of somewhat inferior performance couldn't hide Wen Yun's eyes at all. The way most of the trialists walk, how they greet people, and the details of their gestures reveal their true identity, and there is a gap between a person who practices martial arts and ordinary people in terms of the details of their behavior, and they can overcome their behavior and habits, which most trialists can't do, in fact, they don't plan to do it, not all trialists are as accustomed to hiding in the shadows as supernatural trialists.
Yechen said: "More is more, what's wrong?" She also discovered this, and every now and then she could see a trialist as she walked along the road.
Wen Yun said with some concern: "It's nothing, it's just that so many trialists are staying in this city, I think I'm afraid that some of them can't complete the task and stay here." Although there is no time limit for this mission, Wen Yun does not believe that there will be no punishment for staying in the mission world for a long time and not being able to return to space.
After a pause, Wen Yun continued, "I found that some of the trialists are middle-aged. "The vast majority of trialists look young or prime from the outside, not all for the sake of looking beautiful and handsome, but because of the trialists' excellent physical fitness. The body is strong, the body runs smoothly, and the cells of the whole body are in an active and healthy state, which will naturally show a youthful feeling, which is just in line with the physical state of young people. When a person looks to have reached middle age or even middle age, it means that their physical condition is no longer the best peak, the cells in the body have been slowly aging with the passage of time, aging is its external manifestation, and a trialist has this situation, it is likely to mean that there is something wrong with his body.
Wen Yun said that on the one hand, it was a kind of injury, seeing that the same trialists were slowly aging from the erosion of the years because they were stranded in this task world, she couldn't help but sigh, and this seemed to imply that this task was difficult to complete, and the elimination rate of this task was estimated to be very high, and there was another point, so many trialists were stranded here meant that the confrontation between the trialists would be much fiercer.
Listening to Wen Yun's words, Yechen didn't speak, and after a while she said: "Don't scare yourself, the elimination rate of the seventh space has always been very high, this time it just gives them more buffer time, if you really want to say that the space left this time is still very wide." "Ordinary trialists have only one way to disperse after failing the mission, but now the space is for them to bear some aging, and the opportunity to complete the task still exists, which can already be called "benevolence".
After listening to Yechen's words, Wen Yun also realized that she was a little timid before she fought, she smiled hard and said, "Yes, our team has also experienced several team confrontation tasks, which task has a lower elimination rate?" Didn't we all run here? ”
Yechen said: "Okay, don't worry about this, the first thing we need to do now is to make money, everyone go out and see if there is a suitable goal." ”
Wen Yun and Tang answered and went out, leaving Yechen in the small apartment they rented temporarily.
After the members of her team had left, Yechen went to the bedroom, and the double bed was covered with newspapers, which she had bought when she went out this morning, covering all aspects, entertainment, military, politics, sports...... Say anything. Of course, news can be faked, or tendentiously reported, but as a stranger who has just arrived in the city, the newspaper is still the best way to get a macro understanding of the city. Of course, it would be better if there was an Internet, and the things seen on the Internet were more timely and real, but Yechen found that although this mission world has popularized electricity, it has not yet ushered in the information revolution, and things like computers and smartphones have not been popularized at all, so even if you can go online, there is nothing worth seeing.
The whole afternoon was spent reading the newspaper. In the newspapers, the city still enjoys peace and prosperity, of course, as a city that does not ban guns, and has such a large area of slums, it is not uncommon for a vicious case to appear every once in a while, but those cases mainly occur in the slums, the urban area is still peaceful, and the urban middle class who subscribe to the newspaper does not care about the dirty things that happen in the slums, at most it is a contemptuous laugh, readers do not like to read it, and the newspaper naturally does not focus on it. The crime rate in this city is somewhat on the high side, but it is normal, and it can even be called safe and secure in the urban area.
You must know that this city has been stuffed into hundreds of trialists by the seventh dimension, all of them are bloody, ruthless, and have no moral bottom line, there are so many outlaws, it is rare that the order of this city has not completely collapsed. What's going on? When those trialists came to this city, they awakened their inner morality and negotiation, and became harmless little white rabbits? This is absolutely impossible, Ye Chen would rather believe that the power of the city hall in this mission world has been strengthened by space, and the trialists who are hard pressed do not dare to act recklessly.
That's fine, as long as all the trialists are on the same starting line, and even the stronger the power of the city government, the heavier the shackles on the trialists, the more beneficial it is for a supernatural trialist like Yechen who is good at playing with people's hearts. Comparatively speaking, those who are accustomed to using brute force and violence to complete tasks will feel particularly constrained.
The police caught the thief, sure enough, the police caught the thief, the arrangement of this task in the space is quite pertinent, Yechen thought to himself, and packed up the newspaper on the bed.
There are two camps arranged in this mission space, the police and the thief, there is nothing wrong with the police, the key is this thief. Stealing is more subtle and gentle than robbing, and most importantly, thieves don't need to have a head-on confrontation with the police. In order for those lawless trialists to only dare to steal and not dare to commit such heinous acts as robbery and murder, there must be a strong maintainer of order, and in this case the town hall.
In order to cope with the various tasks arranged in the space, the trialists can indeed be called versatile, and they have to know everything, but most of them really don't really know how to steal something, and they are more accustomed to robbing it directly with violence if needed. It's no wonder that so many trialists are stranded in this city, they won't steal, and they don't dare to rob, it can really be said that they are desperate.
At this time, Yechen was really glad that when they first came to the mission world, for the sake of prudence, they just let Hurt Yu quietly steal a guy's wallet, if they robbed it directly, and then killed people, I am afraid that they have been arrested now. It seems that they are making a more conservative plan.
Yechen sorted out the newspapers into a stack and piled them in the corner, they now have too little money on hand, so they can only rent this small one-bedroom apartment. This is really a "small" apartment, the bedroom is small and can only fit a bed, there is not even a table, and the living room is just a dilapidated sofa and a small round table, and it is a little stuffed with such things. Five girls crammed into such a small apartment, there is not even enough place to sleep, two can lie on the bed, one can sleep on the sofa, and the remaining two can only be laid on the floor.
Yechen looked at the sky through the window, the sun was about to set, she put on a coat, and planned to go out to eat. Don't expect such a small apartment to have a kitchen, they have to eat out or order takeout for a few days.
The small apartment they rented was on the top floor of a seven-story apartment building that looked very old and should have been scrapped, and after walking through the cramped and dark corridor, after walking out of the building, a gust of wind blew, rolling up a few dead leaves that fell to the ground.
Yechen couldn't help but tighten his clothes, it's November now, it's late autumn, and it's really cold when a gust of wind blows.
Coming to a small shop selling breakfast not far away, Yechen found a corner and sat down, asked for a bowl of porridge and three vegetarian buns, and ate slowly.
Just when Yechen had already eliminated the two buns, he suddenly heard a terrible shout: "Catch the thief!" She looked up and saw that a skinny guy in tattered clothes, as if he had just experienced a famine, was running fast, and a middle-aged woman carrying a basket was chasing after her, shouting to catch the thief while chasing back.
The thief ran fast, his speed was close to the fastest limit of ordinary people's running, this should be a trialist, Yechen estimated the speed of the thief and speculated. I was really lucky, I came out for dinner and encountered such an incident.
Yechen's luck is better, but the luck of the trialist is worse, he is the kind of trialist who is accustomed to hard-hitting and disdainful to use intrigue and despicable means to achieve his goals. As a result, when he came to this mission world, he was tragic.
It's been almost two years since he came to this mission world, and he was arrested for robbery as soon as he came in, but fortunately, the unlucky guy didn't have much money, he only grabbed more than two hundred pounds, and there was no bad behavior of killing and injuring people, so the court's sentence to him was not very heavy, and he was released on bail because of his good behavior after only a year and a half in prison. Because of the taint of crime, he could not find a suitable job, so he had to do odd jobs, and as a result, odd jobs were often rejected, resulting in him often starving and being full. But this time he didn't dare to rob anymore, he was really hungry and couldn't stand it anymore so he stole a little, the first two times were successful, but the third time he was caught, and he was almost imprisoned again - although he didn't steal much money, don't forget, he's still on bail! This time, I begged my grandfather to tell my grandmother again, and the so-called trialist's pride and muscles and bones were all lost, and all the skin and bones were gone, so he was spared from prison with the help of some "friends", but he was only held in the detention center for a few days, and he just came out.
Now he is also famous, no one even asks for odd jobs, the previous toss has drained his family, he has slept on a park bench for three days, and he has not eaten for three days.
This is simply too aggrieved, he himself is also a short-tempered person, the fire in his heart has been pressing, driven by hunger and finally erupted, no matter what, filling his stomach is the most important thing. As a result, the teacher was unfavorable, and he was found as soon as he reached into someone's bag, and the result was that he was chased and ran. (To be continued.) )
