Chapter 162: Fishing Tournament
"Then I'm leaving."
"Well, be careful on the road."
The madman rode his bicycle silently and walked on the way home. When I got home, it was already 9 p.m.
When his mother saw him, she was a little annoyed and said, "Don't you know how to call home so late?" ”
The madman smiled humbly and said, "Well, I went out with my friends, I forgot, I'm sorry." By the way, what about Grandpa and Dad? ”
Originally, he wanted to change the topic, but Xie Yunjiao was even more angry: "Dead!" ”
"Huh?!"
"Go out fishing early in the morning! I haven't been home yet! I don't answer the phone! ”
The mad army suddenly remembered Uncle Zhang and the others he met at noon, and couldn't help but be curious, "Mom, has fishing been popular in the village recently?" ”
Xie Yunjiao sighed: "Didn't you hear the news in Luofeng Town? It seems that some kind of fishing tournament will be held at the beginning of this year, and the scale seems to be not small, and most of the people in the village are participating anyway. ”
Berserker smiled bitterly, "Why didn't I know that Dad and Grandpa could fish?" ”
"Now learning and selling, they just have a good time, saying that they want to fight for the ranking and win a grand prize. But this time, I spent a lot of money just to buy equipment, and I'll be thankful that I can come back with two bags of laundry detergent when the time comes.
Is...... The cost of living was already tight, so this time they secretly spent the money, and the budget for the next few months had to be recalculated. So Xiaojun, your pocket money for this summer vacation may also be deducted. ”
The mad army couldn't help but be speechless, "Mom, there is a debtor who is wronged!" ”
Xie Yunjiao waved her hand and said, "Mother will return this sentence to you as it is, if you are dissatisfied, just tell your father, or you will find a way to let him get a good ranking?" I've heard that the top three have huge cash prizes. ”
The berserker was a little crazy, "How can this help, I don't know how to fish!" ”
Xie Yunjiao shrugged, looking like she didn't care about herself, and then returned to the kitchen with broken thoughts.
The madman sighed and touched his pocket. Fortunately, Uncle Bai gave him 200 yuan, even if his mother didn't give him a penny, he would be able to live this life.
His family is not wealthy, it is an ordinary working family, but maybe because of Bai Fengqin, in the past, he would definitely be pestering his mother endlessly, but now, the madman's thinking has quietly undergone some changes, and instead of relying on others, he has figured out a way to be self-reliant.
Back in his room, the madman lay down on the bed, thinking about the whereabouts of his pocket money. Thinking about it, I suddenly remembered the points of Slow's ability.
"By the way, I haven't opened it again since the fight......
The berserker closed his eyes and silently recited the menu.
The huge silver gear appeared, slowly turning, and the madman suddenly stopped spinning as he got closer.
The same page as last time slowly reappeared.
User: Berserk. Rank: Silver. Points: 1050/5000 points
In the blink of an eye, the number of points was 50 points higher.
"Sure enough, the increase in points and the number of times you use it are related."
The last time he bought the energy recovery agent, he should only have 1,000 points left, but after that, he really used a lot of Slow ability in the fight with Zhao Zhuo and his gang.
"However, it doesn't add a lot...... "The madman thought for a moment and took out the butterfly knife. The knife had been rinsed at the organist's house, and naturally there would be no blood, but staring at the blade, he still had an incredible feeling.
With a little force, the butterfly knife flew in the hands of the berserker.
This time, he used the Slow ability from the beginning, intending to use it to the limit and see how much it could increase.
With Slow turned on, the knife turned in the Berserker's hand until his head began to swell and ache.
Frowning and rubbing his temples, the madman looked at his watch, it had only been more than 10 minutes, but he felt like an hour was long.
"There is basically no physical exertion...... I don't know how much it will go up? ”
The Berserker opens the menu, and the points become 1055/5000. The rank is still silver.
gasped, and I couldn't help but have a feeling of wanting to cry without tears.
Now he was absolutely sure that this point was closely related to the time and strength of Slow's ability.
But then again, although energy restorative is a good thing, isn't the price too expensive?!
At this rate of point increase, even if he throws the butterfly knife every day, it is estimated that it will take more than two months to save up a bottle of energy recovery elixir.
Moreover, the Berserker also discovered a more important thing.
If it weren't for the illusion, he felt that the Slow ability was much more expensive to use than before. And it always feels very subtle and bulky.
"Points...... Dan...... Purchase Items...... In other words, this thing is actually something like proficiency and currency? ”
Mad Jun patted his forehead, a little glad he didn't buy two bottles of energy restorative at once.
300 points plus 600 points = 900 points. 900 points, he has to save until the Year of the Monkey?!
"Be cautious, or not, you will never buy this energy restorative until the critical moment in the future. Moreover, it seems that you still need a rank to unlock more things, and this rank must be increased only when you reach a certain level of points, right? ”
Although I wanted to think about this Slow ability for a while, the side effect of overconsumption, the sticky sleepiness, had already surged, and the madman didn't take off his socks, threw himself on the bed, and it didn't take long for him to snore and fall asleep sweetly.
Late at night, in a bright high-speed tunnel, a car with a waxed Mercedes-Benz S600 was speeding steadily, and three men were sitting behind it.
On the far right sat an old man in a gray-white striped suit, with a big back with white hair, and a slightly bloated figure, who was leaning on his back and closing his eyes to recuperate.
Sitting on the far left was Lu Qun, staring out the window with a smile on his face.
In the middle, a man with a black back combed was pursed and stared at the book in his hand with a slight frown, turning page by page.
"Okay, what about the next order?"
Lu Qun turned his head, bowed his head to him slightly, and smiled: "I've also handed it over to him, and he is a useful person." ”
"Long-term?"
"Personally, I think it's short-term."
The man nodded, but didn't say anything.
"Dispose of it when you're done with it." Men don't seem to like talking nonsense, and they weigh every word carefully, picking only the most necessary words.
Lu Qun was still smiling, "Yes." ”
"Xiaoqun, when are you scheduled to start the next satellite test mission?"
The old man still had his eyes closed, and his voice was a little hoarse, but he was full of energy.
Lu Qun was slightly stunned, as if he didn't expect to be asked about this. Glancing at the man who was not shocked, he said respectfully: "Back to the boss, I am willing to leave this matter to Mr. Honghui to judge." ”
Honghui stared at the old man expressionlessly and said, "The initial test in three months is the best plan. ”
Lu Qun lowered his head and smiled, indicating acquiescence.
The old man smacked his mouth and exhaled deeply, and his eyes that were cloudy, but deep and reminiscent of the bottomless seabed, slowly opened.
"You're talking about the best plan to get the old immortals on the committee to shut up, Hui."
Honghui said: "Yes." ”
"The small group was brought up by you, I understand your feelings of cherishing talents, but now there are special circumstances, I think he is the best candidate. Are you reluctant? ”
Honghui said: "Your order is above all else. ”
The old man smiled, pondered for a while, and said slowly: "It's not an order, it's a task that can be done and not done, but it's not allowed to be procrastinated." If you do it, you will do it thoroughly, and if you don't do it, you will simply cut it in two. ”
Honghui frowned, "This is the advisor's opinion?" ”
"No, I haven't told her yet, and she can't handle it, and it's just one more trouble that is useless except for nerve-wracking. It's me, interested in taking a gamble. ”
The red light turned on, and the Mercedes slowly stopped.
"Give him something." With that, the driver took out a document and handed it to Honghui.
After bowing his head and sweeping silently, Honghui said: "Boss, I'm afraid something big will happen." ”
The old man stretched out his hand, and Lu Qun immediately took out a cigarette and respectfully lit it for him.
"Naturally, it's uncertain, it's almost gambling. Hui, if it was three years ago, I wouldn't have made a move on this kind of commission, after all, if you want to make a profit in a high-risk business, luck and experience are indispensable. But now, don't you think it's worth a try? ”
Then came a long, solemn silence. The traffic jam was unexpectedly severe. Ten minutes or so passed, and the surrounding vehicles were still silent, and several drivers poked their heads out, smoking boredly, and staring at the dark glass limousine with some curiosity.
After a long time, Honghui slowly turned his head to look at the old man and said, "Absolute freedom is needed. ”
"Don't worry, I'll try to give you the green light all the way, and you don't have to worry about the old men of the committee during the mission. In addition, if you ask for anything, you will be satisfied with everything that can be satisfied. ”
It wasn't long before the car began to move again, and finally the car drove into the gate of a luxurious villa, where a woman in a dark green high-end suit and skirt stood at the door.
Her curly blonde hair was coiled high, and her narrow eyes calmly swept over the three people in the car without making a sound.
With the support of the woman, the old man slowly got out of the car, and immediately smiled: "Don't rush to give me an answer, there are still a few days, think about it." ”
"Good work." The woman smiled slightly at the two of them, and helped the old man into the room.
Honghui and Lu Qun bowed deeply until the boss entered the door.
The driver handed Lu Qun a key, pointed to a silver Mercedes-Benz in the parking space, bowed slightly, and drove away.
Lu Qun drove the car, Honghui sat in the co-pilot, the vehicle was speeding on the highway, the two of them had nothing to say all the way on the road, Honghui kept staring at the documents in his hand, his face was expressionless.
"Brother Hui, I don't reject challenges." Lu Qun played the steering wheel and said with a slight smile.
Honghui sneered, "You think it's glorious not to be afraid of death?" ”
Lu Qun said: "Of course I'm afraid of death, but if there is a corresponding reward behind it, then it's a different matter." ”
Honghui closed his eyes and frowned tightly, "I'll think about it again." ”
Lu Qun said with a smile: "If you succeed, you will be the biggest contributor to the Red Snake Family getting out of the Three Seas Continent, and I will also have the honor of becoming the fastest improving commander since the founding of the family, even if there is an accident, I will die as I deserve." Brother Hui, isn't this the boss who values your and my performance? ”
Honghui closed his eyes and said in a low voice: "I will also add a sum to the old man's qualifications, once he succeeds, he will be re-elected." If he is re-elected, he will be able to retire in a few years, and then run for the Three Seas Council by a huge margin. ”
Lu Qun did not answer, and drove quietly.
"And once he retires and has a new boss, you and I won't have a good time."
Lu Qun glanced at Honghui and said carefully: "Isn't it supposed to be of great benefit to you and me that the boss has entered the committee?" At least it won't be like now, with walls everywhere and trouble after trouble. ”
Honghui sighed and said, "The general environment is calm and quiet, and local friction is constant, this is the happiest time." Far water can't quench the thirst of the near, and besides, ...... Well, sooner or later, you'll understand. ”
Lu Qun nodded, was silent for a while, and then said, "Then this mission ...... Are you going to say no? ”
