Chapter 4 I want to keep a low profile, too
Touching the corpse.
From downstairs to upstairs, from inside to outside.
System: "Congratulations on earning 90 XP points." ”
System: "Congratulations on gaining 85 XP points." ”
System: "Congratulations on earning 110 XP points." ”
System: "Congratulations on earning 150 XP." ”
……
A burst of swiping.
System: "Congratulations on gaining 580 XP points." You have leveled up and gained 5 free attribute points. ”
System: "Congratulations on earning the [Light Firepower] specialization of 13 points, now at Expert level (315/375). ”
System: "Congratulations on obtaining the specialty specialization [Parkour] Beginner (5/75), which requires Dexterity 28, Stamina: 27, and Spirit 19. ”
It was the last shot by the best gunslinger.
John smiled.
Fortunately, I had the foresight to not add random points.
He knew that preconditions were definitely needed to learn certain abilities, and now that he had risen to the next level, he had 10 free attribute points to add points, and this [parkour] specialization could also be learned.
After adding points.
Strength: 24 (20)
Dexterity: 38 (19)
Stamina: 27 (22)
Spirit: 19 (15)
Note: Normal adult attributes are in parentheses
Personal Specialization: [Combat] Advanced (230/300), [Cold Weapon] Advanced (252/300), [Light Firepower] Expert (315/375), [Heavy Firepower] Advanced (228/300)
Pilot Mastery: [Civil Vehicle] Advanced (265/300)
Specialty Mastery: [Parkour] Beginner (5/75)
This wave of heads is really comfortable, but the aftermath still has to be dealt with.
John then called the company's housekeeping department.
"I need to order a meal for fifteen."
……
Vigo sat in his office with a glass of 60's wine on his desk.
The assistant knocked on the door and walked in.
"How?" Vigo asked.
The assistant shook his head regretfully, "All the troops are wiped out." ”
Vigo let out a long sigh and wiped his face with his hand, although he had already guessed the ending, but after the result came out, he was still very unwilling.
He drank the glass of red wine, opened the safe, and pulled out a book full of the killer's private numbers.
"Hey, Marcus, we need to meet."
Hung up the phone.
"Rayso, spare the car."
……
Soon, Vigo and his assistant arrived at an apartment in a high-end car.
Entering the apartment, Marcus gave Vigo a glass of freshly squeezed carrot juice.
Vigo sniffed twice, then placed the cup on the table again.
Marcus: "What's something you can't tell me on the phone?" ”
Vigo: "I'll have to tell you about it to your face. ”
“OK。” Marcus made a gesture of please.
Vigo shifted in his chair, "I want you to kill John Wick for two million dollars." ”
Marcus took a sip of carrot juice.
Vigo: "After all, you have a good relationship, and I want to know your wishes. ”
Marcus: "Is this a private bounty, or is it public?" ”
The private reward refers to the separate designation of Marcus, and the public refers to the company's listing to receive the order, and anyone can take it, and whoever completes it first, who gets it first.
Vigo: "It's public. Of course, I believe that with your relationship with John, it should be easy to get through first. Two million dollars. ”
Vigo emphasized the amount again.
Two million dollars was really a lot of money in those days. Marcus is also getting older, and like his old friend John, he is also approaching the retirement age of fifty, and he can have a large pension, and his life in the rest of his life is much easier and more comfortable.
"I'll think about it." Marcus said.
Vigo nodded, "Thank you for the carrot juice." ”
……
"Sir, are we going back to the company now?" The assistant asked.
"No," Vigo said as he sat in the back seat of the car, trying to change his comfortable position, "Prepare four million dollars, and we're going to meet another person, Perkins." ”
……
"Hi Marcus, how did you remember to call me?" John is eating a homemade sandwich at home.
Marcus: "John, you're in a bad situation, Vigo is going to kill you." A reward of $2 million was offered. ”
John stopped eating, "You didn't take the order." ”
Marcus: "No. ”
John: "Thank you. ”
Hung up the phone.
I didn't think that Vigo, the old bastard, was really difficult, I just wanted to retire, I just wanted to salt, but he just pestered me.
There's no way, I can't stay at home, and since Vigo's old fox habits have invited Marcus to kill me, then maybe I've invited someone else, and it's not good for me to be the enemy.
"It looks like I'll have to stay at the company's Intercontinental Hotel for the time being." John muttered to himself.
As far as memory can be reckoned with, InterContinental is the company's base around the world, open only to members and insiders, and no one is allowed to use force inside the hotel, otherwise they will be subject to extremely severe sanctions from the company.
It can be said that the Intercontinental Hotel is a very safe typhoon shelter.
……
John packed up and drove to the InterContinental Hotel.
The lobby is full of people, all kinds of people, all kinds of people, many of them are the kind that seem harmless to humans and animals, if it weren't for being inside the hotel, seeing so many members, it's really hard to imagine that there will be so many killers in this world.
However, it is also understandable, after all, the plane that has been crossed now is not the earth plane in reality, and many things naturally cannot be compared with the original world.
John walked to the front desk with his suitcase, but there he met a very familiar woman, a rather unscrupulous colleague.
"Perkins?"
"Hi, John." The foreign woman with black hair smiled charmingly, "Nice to meet you." ”
After saying hello, she took the key and left.
Peers can only say hello to each other, no one can make deep friends with the killers, and no one can guarantee who sells each other, even if it is an old friend Marcus, there is nothing particularly important, and he usually does not contact.
"Hello, Mr. Wick, do you need to stay for two nights?" The black receptionist at the front desk took the initiative to ask.
"yes, stay two nights first." John pulled out a gold coin, "Maybe a little longer." Charon, hasn't the boss changed? ”
Charon handed John a key, "Room 818." The boss hasn't changed. By the way, Mr. Wick, are you planning to go back to your old business? ”
"No," John shook his head, shaking the key in his hand, "I just want to stay a few nights." ”
It is impossible to return to the old business, it is so dangerous to be a killer, you can die if you are not careful, and they are all close to fifty years old, a lot of age.
Besides, the killer doesn't make as much money as the big bosses who start companies, but they just make a living before they reach a well-off level.
Staying at the Intercontinental Hotel is just to find a typhoon shelter for a while, and by the way, find a way to solve the old fox in Vigo.
killed someone's son, made a mortal enemy, and if he didn't settle this matter, he would not be able to salt fish in this life.
He also wants to keep a low profile and want to be reluctant, but his strength does not allow it, and there is no way to do it.
……
He took the key and opened the door, and entered the room of 818, John closed the curtains, took a shower, and planned to nest for the night, and then find a way to find the hiding place of Vigo's old fox tomorrow, and find out the old fellow, and get it done all at once.
