Chapter 479: Feeding the Team
"Ding Bang~"
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry~"
"Are you an idiot, you can't hold a plate steadily, and you still want to hold a gun?"
"Xiao Lanlan can walk in the front~ If the gun is unstable, it won't hit the ass of his teammates~ Hahaha!" Loud sounds echoed in the aisles.
Lin Ze spent 100 bottle caps to rent a separate cave dormitory, and then came to the task hall of the No. 12 mine unhurriedly, the underground conditions are simple, the hall is very spacious, but it is full of tables and chairs, it seems crowded, there are two bars in the corner of the hall, and there is a task bulletin board next to it, which integrates the three functions of bar, restaurant, and task release.
"Yo~ Isn't this the 15% newcomer, oh, by the way, it should be called a big shield, no, Mr. Nap is more suitable hahaha~ You can only have a sweet dream by taking a nap", a mercenary at the table closest to the door saw Lin Ze coming in with a big shield on his back, pointed at him and laughed at the same table.
"Hahaha, I appreciate this kind of inexplicably confident newcomer! If it weren't for my team, hahaha", quipped the mercenaries at the nearby tables.
Lin Ze's footsteps were slightly certain, and sure enough, things were developing in a bad direction, the smiling tiger spread rumors everywhere in order to retaliate or persecution, and in perception, the smiling Mu De was sitting in a corner of the hall at this time, mixed in with several other mercenaries, his eyes swept to his side intentionally or unintentionally, and the corners of his mouth kept smiling.
What a hassle! Lin Ze resisted the urge to slap those stupid mercenaries who were full of yellow and black rotten teeth and laughed into pulp, this would ruin the plan made before, what should I do? It's definitely not okay to move a gun, a fight? No, if you start fighting in a new place, you will definitely be considered a troublemaker by the prisoners, and no one likes troublemakers; Justification? What's more, the mercenary is rude, compared to a kind-faced acquaintance who has been here for many years, no one will believe the strange face who has just arrived, it's really a trouble!
The predetermined plan must be executed, the first step is to personally go to the mine to investigate the types of resources and reserves here, this step cannot be bypassed, it involves trade secrets, there is no way to get relevant news from the mercenary team that controls the mine here or the chamber of commerce that buys resources, plus this is a resource-rich but relatively distant central continent, whether it is a sister or a visitor from another world, it is impossible to cast a wide net like the law academy control union, and it is necessary to accurately find the target.
As for the second step, it is to secretly select one or two mercenary teams to achieve secret cooperation when it is determined that it is worth making a move, Lin Ze has gone all the way, and he knows very well in his heart that most of the mercenary teams that control the mine are loosely organized and run on the front line of mining resources, but the mercenary teams that control the main elevator are different, and maintaining the elevator is definitely not the point, thinking of the background of those mercenary teams, I am afraid that it is the most important thing for them to monitor the resources and quantity produced by the mine.
Lin Ze doesn't want to have any conflict with the Law Institute or the Control Union in the Central Continent, that is to hit the stone with an egg, this is the front line of the confrontation between the Law Yuan and the Control Federation, the force is very concentrated, according to incomplete statistics, in addition to the five airship formations that regularly patrol the Law Institute of the Central Continent, there are also three higher-level combat groups - the Air Carrier Legion, the giant light wheel accelerator provides terrible power and load capacity, making the Air Mother a mobile air fortress, plus other cruising escort airships and various functional aircraft in the Legion, Once provoked, it will face ultra-long-range missile attacks, medium and short-range artillery attacks, large-scale robot corps airdrops and other multi-directional strikes, which is definitely a nightmare that cannot be escaped.
The Control Federation is not simple, in addition to the large number of permanent scepter-level regulator squads, there are more than ten crown-level controllers, including the Golden Crown Controller Feng Yu, which is the highest combat power of the Control Federation in the Central Continent, Lin Ze is a small scepter-level, but he doesn't want to be chased and killed by a group of perverts.
A stable source of scarce minerals in the enemy-occupied area, secrecy and reliability have become the first condition to consider, if you want to reach a secret cooperation, you must quietly approach the core high-level of the mercenary team, so as to find the right time for a showdown, so you must not do it, Lin Ze put his eyes on the independent seats by the bar counter, several individual mercenaries are drinking, maybe you can try it, he immediately walked over, bent his fingers and tapped on the bar, "Two glasses of ......"
"Humph!" Without waiting for Lin Ze to sit down and finish speaking, several individual mercenaries nearby quickly took their respective wine glasses and drank them all, then got up and left, one of them also snorted coldly at Lin Ze with his head tilted, as if he was disgusted with something dirty.
"Just a bottle of sparkling drink, and another one...... Well, this, the sauce ant group, I have never eaten it", Lin Ze watched the mercenaries walk away from the corner of his eyes, his face remained unchanged, he changed his mouth and ordered a bottle of cheap sparkling drink and a more bizarre food, and then walked to an empty table with a drink bottle and sat down and waited for the food to be served, obviously the idea of joining other people's team failed, he could only find another way, at least he had to form a small team of five people, the rules were like this, otherwise he was not qualified to use the elevator from the No. 12 mine to enter the mining area, this is the prisoner's measure to prevent some reckless mercenaries from dyingWhile waiting for the food, Lin Ze used his soul perception to observe the other mercenaries in the hall.
"First...... Sir, you~ the dish you want", a plate containing food similar to meat balls was served crookedly, and a little sauce from the plate spilled onto the table, "I'm sorry, I'm not ......"
Lin Ze looked up at the waiter, this was a fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy, his hair was unkempt, and he was wearing a variety of different blue mixed clothes, which should be the color difference caused by the different degrees of dirtiness of the blue fabric.
"Yo ho ~ Xiao Lanlan spilled things again ~ haha", a few idle mercenaries nearby turned their eyes to the big boy again, maybe this is their daily routine of drinking in the hall.
"I'm sorry, I'm ~ I ......" The big boy in blue trembled, his eyes looked at the bar in horror from time to time, as if there was some terrifying monster squatting there.
Little Blue Blue? Wait, Lin Ze suddenly thought of something, his eyes were calm, and his tone was also lower, "I heard that you want to go down the mine?" ”
"Me? No~No! I can't do it~" The boy quickly shook his head, his eyes dodging and looking at the ground.
"Whether it's okay or not is the result of doing it, whether to go or not is something that needs to be considered before doing it, this only involves courage and determination, you see, you can't bring any change to your current situation with a plate for a lifetime, no one will look down on those guys who just say it and don't do it, even if he doesn't do it for a good reason", Lin Ze continued to lower his voice and bewitched, "Everything is difficult at the beginning, only if you take the first step, and then you can see clearly where your ability is, right?" I can see that there has always been a fire in your heart, and you need to add something to it to make it burn~"
"I~ I only have the iron tube gun left by my father, I ...... I can't ......."
"Oh, the beginning of the legendary epic, you are much stronger than the legendary heroes in the biography who can only carry a hole barrel as a helmet, don't you, you at least have an iron pipe gun that can beat the enemy into a sieve, oh~ Maybe one day in the future you can write a memoir, you picked up the iron pipe gun left by your father, and bravely took the first step to explore the unknown and achieve success, believe me, when you look at the room full of loot in the future, you will be glad for today's decision!"
"I ...... What should I do? "The boy seemed a little blindsided.
"Listen, young warrior, all you need to do is put down this damn serving plate, then go back, take out your father's iron pipe gun, take care of it, then put all the bullets you can find into the magazine, prepare three days' worth of portable food and water, and emergency medicine, if you have one, and finally, take a few deep breaths, silently say goodbye to your cowardly self in the dark, get a good night's sleep, and in twelve hours, we will meet here in the hall."
Watching the big boy leave the hall, Lin Ze's eyes turned to the bar where he ordered, and the waiter behind the bar didn't seem to see the big boy leave at all, focusing on the work in hand.
After getting rid of the first member, Lin Ze ignored the whispers and accusations from the mercenaries at the neighboring tables in his perception, and pulled the strange meat balls on the plate clean in a few bites, then got up and walked to the remote corner of the hall, here was his second target, a sloppy middle-aged man leaning against the corner of the wall, with only an empty wine bottle in front of him.
"Hey, man, are you going to shrink up in a corner for the rest of your life, drinking this kind of water, oh no, should I say a few drops of water?"
"Heh~ You're a scumbag, you just deceived a teenage child, although he is always clumsy, what, you still want to deceive me an old cripple?" The unkempt middle-aged man raised his cloudy eyes, leaned lazily against the wall, glanced at Lin Ze, and focused his gaze on the wall above his head.
"Deception? Oh no, I'm just telling you the truth, there are countless invisible roads under everyone's feet, and each road has countless forks and corresponds to different outcomes, and who knows what awaits you without reaching the end of the road? Just like you", Lin Ze looked at the middle-aged man's lame left foot, and he couldn't say that he was lame, at least it wasn't broken, maybe he was walking lame, "You just need an opportunity, an opportunity to make money, and when you earn money, you can match a mechanical walking leg, you and I both know that there must be this kind of technology here, and then you will have a completely different life, right?" ”
"A dead man has no future!" The middle-aged man came back to his senses, his eyes staring at Lin Ze.
"Who can say for sure", Lin Ze straightened up and shook his shoulders, "At least it's not worse than your current situation, even if it's this kind of clear water mixed with wine, how long can you drink it?" ”
The middle-aged man's eyes turned to the empty wine bottle on the table, and he was silent for a long time, then suddenly raised his head, "I think I have to get a bottle of Black Thorn Valley, 12 hours later, right." ”
The second one is done, Lin Ze is sure in his heart, and he will find two more members of the team to form a team.
The lame middle-aged man limped and carried the wine bottle and just left the hall, and two young men who looked extremely similar found Lin Ze in the hall, "Hello, we are the two brothers Shuye and Shuhu, I saw you recruiting people in the hall just now, are you going to form a team to go down the mine?" What do you think of our two brothers? ”
Lin Ze was stunned, there are still people who come to the door automatically?
"We see that you have a unique eye for recruitment, and we think that you must be very powerful, so we decided to join your team", Shu Ye saw Lin Ze's surprised expression, and quickly explained.
"Really, you think so?" Lin Ze's face was instantly overjoyed, with a smug smile, and he raised his head slightly, "You are also very discerning." ”
Lin Ze felt that the soul of a certain problem girl was possessed in an instant, "My original neighbors all said this about me." ”
"That's, we can see at a glance from a long distance, twelve hours, the hall gathers?" Shuhu's face twitched slightly, and then asked with a smile.
"Well, the personnel are all together, bring your own dry food, and see you here in twelve hours!" Lin Ze patted his chest confidently.
This is considered a long insight, bragging about wearing a hat doesn't cost money, a group of mercenaries in the hall clearly witnessed the whole process of a 15% newcomer's team, and after Lin Ze, who was at the end, also left the hall, there was a buzzing discussion.
"The child, the cripple, two oilers, and a nerd who just came here and didn't understand anything led the team, is this the Wuzi Mine Food Delivery Team?"
"Hahaha~Wuzi~ Very vivid~Hahaha!"
"Come on, you can't say it accurately, if you want to send it, you will send those three, the Shu brothers are not fuel-efficient lamps, but it's a pity that Pan Laola's good shotgun~ Hey, I've been waiting for him to take it when he is short of wine money one day."
"Why didn't I see you so brave when Pan Lao was lame, if it weren't for the tendon in his ankle being bitten off, you would still dare to worry about his weapon, it's crooked!"
"It's lame, what are you doing with such a good law court punisher light pressure rifle, it's better to take it out for a drink and drink a few more meals."
"Since it's not a five-son food delivery team, let's just call it a flesh feeding team, fresh and tender strawberry flavor~ haha"
"Okay, let's call the flesh feeding team, come on, open the market, bet on how many of our newly established flesh feeding team will come back alive in the end?"
"It must be the two Shu brothers, I'll press 100 bottle caps!"
"I press 50, the Shu brothers and Pan Lao Cripple, Pan Lao Cripple has been in the well for many years, he has rich experience, and the Shu brothers are still too young~"
"It makes sense, I also press 50~"
"Then I'll come to 70 to have a good time, Pan Lao is lame and comes back alone, but his eyes are very vicious, and the Shu brothers don't have to pout his ass to guess what those two bastards think."
Sure enough, is there a problem, Lin Ze is in the passage outside the hall, and anyone with a discerning eye can see the strength of the child and the cripple to go down the well, how could the two brothers join this strange team if they have no plans, but it doesn't matter, just go down the well......
