Volume 4: The Bay Area Chapter 3 Opening of the Chamber
On a frozen night, on the remote mountain road from Dingbao to Sass Harbor, pedestrians are sparsely populated and a few cars are also residents living around the area; The mountains and forests on both sides of the path look dark, and a little moonlight shines through the cracks in the branches of the trees, and they will be quickly scattered by the branches dancing with the mountain wind, turning into little spots of light; And this flickering moonlight makes the surrounding mountains and paths look even deeper and darker.
A van drove slowly from the mountain road, even if the headlights of the car were fully turned on, it could not completely penetrate the surrounding darkness, not to mention that the other party did not turn on the lights at this time, but moved forward in the dark.
Standing on the branch of a big tree, Ye Qi, who was wearing a black apostle trench coat, quietly watched the van drive under the tree with his hands in his pockets; Then he jumped down from the tree like a tanuki, followed the van and walked briskly, and the van that was moving slowly at this time could not shake off the agile old Ye Qi; Far away from a distance of more than ten meters, with the cover of the darkness in the mountains and forests, Ye Qi's half-squinted eyes stared tightly at the direction of the other party's driving.
"Bang!"
The sudden sound of a flat tire from the car's tires startled a crowd in the silent mountains and forests, and a total of five men in black suits and guns in their hands walked down from the car with a curse.
"Damn it! This kind of accident always happens." The leader of the five stood next to the van and kicked the punctured tire hard; Then he lit a cigarette and urged impatiently: "Hurry up and fix the car, if you miss the transaction time set by the boss, we will all die!" ”
Saying that, the leader took a deep breath of cigarette, and wanted to more vividly express how serious the consequences of what he said, but before he could speak, he felt a pain in his neck, and at the moment before he fainted, he was shocked to find that his four subordinates had also slowly collapsed to the ground.
Carrying a bulging travel bag, Ye Qi went straight back to the third floor of the bar, and the house that Hampton was looking for had been found five days ago, because of the lack of bartenders, he was the only one in the bar that had not yet officially opened, except for two mercenaries who were still on security duty.
"Wow!"
When he opened the travel bag, put all the Kimpton and five guns in it on the bedroom floor, and then put Kimpton into the travel bag from the other party's box, Ye Qi had already carefully counted it, no more, no less, 10,000 Kimptons, and if it was exchanged for paper money, it would be a full 2 million; Of course, he can't take all the 10,000 kimptons, and the black marketeers who provide favorable information according to the rules must have to take a part, about one-fifth; But even so, as long as there is no sudden change, the remaining Kimpton plus the original one is enough for him to develop in the next two years.
Kimpton was put away, and the portion to be distributed to the black marketeers was taken out and stored separately, and then Ye Qi's eyes turned to five. The robber only makes a cameo appearance occasionally, and if he does so often, even if his strength exceeds that of ordinary gangsters, he will inevitably leave clues, you must know that the Demon Hunter Guild has strict rules against ordinary people; In the case of what he did tonight, if he was discovered by the Witchers' Guild, the Tower of Thorns would be his only place to go, and the chances of seeing the light of day again were extremely slim. In the big market with the constant demand for witchers, mechanical transformation is the right way to make money. Even Ye Qi had already planned to take out half of his reserves for the next two years to buy the tools and materials needed to practice mechanical transformation.
Naturally, the channel for these items is to obtain them from black market merchants, and after receiving a large amount of information fees, the other party must be extremely happy to make another transaction. "You want this job? After having sufficient funds, Ye Qi increased the salary of recruiting bartenders by thirty percent, and this caused the old, seven is. After breakfast today, Han Sijing was the fifth bartender he interviewed, and he looked at each other with a smile: "Then please show your unique skills, I hope your skills can be worthy of the salary I will pay."
Although will not mix. But it doesn't mean that Ye Qi can't taste it, he has been hanging out in Daddy's Bar all the year round, and under the influence of profiteers' skills, he definitely has a level of appreciation that surpasses ordinary people; It is also because of this that he will continue to interview the fifth bartender in Ye Qi's cognition. Even if the bartenders to be recruited are not as good as profiteers, they must be at least half-worthy; If he doesn't even have half of it, then this bartender doesn't take his salary at all.
"Hmm!" Taking a sip of the blood-red wine in the glass, Ye Qi frowned slightly, and then made a notice to the other party: "Sir, it's a pity; Maybe we'll consider you again when we're short of people again" Boss, there's another bartender!" "Immediately after taking the fifth bartender out of the city, the mercenary came back and reported; Ye Qi nodded and said, "Bring him in!" ”
He was only a little shorter than the giant man, with dark skin, a sturdy figure, and knotted muscles that made his coat tight, and his straight waist when he walked was two points more powerful than the mercenary who walked in front and led the way; Ye Qi, who saw the other party, couldn't help but be stunned, if the other party was a soldier, he believed it; But the bartender's words are really a bit unbelievable.
Despite the disbelief in his heart, Ye Qi still greeted the other party with a smile according to the previous process: "Can you show me your skills?" ”
didn't speak, the other party just nodded silently, and then walked into the bar, which was different from the fancy movements of the five Ying Cheng bartenders before, simple and powerful, full of the beauty of the yang net.
"Whew".
Flames rose from the rim of the cup, and the red flames made the pale blue liquid even more charmingly translucent.
"Flame Ice Lake!" The other party waited until the flame was extinguished, and then pushed the cup in front of Ye Qi; Ye Qi picked up the wine glass and took a sip slightly, his eyes lit up, and the fragrance was accompanied by the heat, which was definitely the best choice for demon hunters who like spirits; After drinking all the wine in the cup, Ye Qi nodded and said, "You have been admitted; If there are no problems, sign it! ”
"Amanda, boss!" The black man took the pen and signed his name on the contract; Ye Qi smiled and stretched out his hand: "You are welcome to join my bar" The devil does not cry. Amanda! ”
"Boss, this is last night's turnover, the three leaders of the small mercenaries, Bob, walked up to the third floor and put the ledger in front of Ye Qi, who was busy on the workbench, for the boss in front of him, who was not very old, but extremely skilled, but liked to transform firearms, he was extremely curious in his heart, but the rules of mercenaries made him have to suppress the curiosity in his heart. Focus on executing every order given by the other party; Ye Qi waved his hand without raising his head: "Put it here!" ”
After the barrel in his hand was perfectly inlaid with a scale, Ye Qi stretched out his stiff body because of staying up all night, looked at the mechanical transformation and the data on the ledger that were not bad, let him smile and pick up the coffee that was kept warm on the side, and walked down to the third floor; After all, the demon hunters to be entertained on the second floor are his main project, and the backlog of tasks for a week should be cleared, isn't it?
Than today, continue to ask for subscriptions, ask for protection, and ask for a thank you to Fascist, the noble tetraphenol of the killer, the sea breeze hulala, the dancing empty miracle, the clouds and mist to see the bright moon, the so-called Yiren "talk about the reward of a few people and this, the blood is flying, and the book friends are selfish and other monthly tickets Gu Waste bowed
