Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Bright Moon Girl
"Can't!" Thinking about it for a short moment, Liu Fei came up with the answer.
"Why?" Su Ziyun's eyes lit up, he couldn't imagine that Liu Fei would come up with an answer so quickly.
"I think the killer's commission should be paid after the mission is completed, and I don't have enough money to pay for the missiles and the hackers and the rental of the ship."
"Yes!" Su Ziyun patted the table and said, "This is the problem, being a killer also requires capital, for example, this operation, even if it is done in my way, it is not so easy to successfully complete the task." ”
"Please." Liu Fei listened sincerely, this was an industry he had never been exposed to, and he needed to understand it from Su Ziyun's mouth.
"In the killer profession, there will be many accidents, for example, when you buy missiles, there will be accidents, or there will be quality problems, or there will be leaks, when you hire hackers, you will be betrayed, you invite a ship, you may encounter bad weather...... All kinds of accidents will appear, and these accidents will delay your time to complete the task, as a killer, it is impossible to live in the slums like you, hidden in the city, really good killers, will be hidden in the city, only in this way will not be discovered by the police, if a killer temporarily lives in the slums, within three days, all the people in the slums will know that a stranger has come, which will leave a lot of clues for themselves, so, the killer will choose to live in a high-end hotel, which is higher than ......"
"As I said at the beginning, being a killer also requires capital and advanced weapons, do you know what weapons the two brothers who assassinated you have?" Su Ziyun, who was gushing endlessly, asked as soon as he spoke.
"I don't know." Liu Fei's eyes lit up, he didn't know that those two killers had advanced weapons.
"Two converted civilian mechs, two ground sniper rifles, one interstellar sniper rifle, two modified flying skateboards, and a mess of small firearms and cold weapons......"
"So much? Why aren't they using it? Liu Fei gasped, he couldn't imagine that those two people actually had mechs and sniper rifles.
"Hehe, first of all, a good killer doesn't always use his most advanced equipment when hunting a target."
"Why?"
"For example, the use of mechs in the slums will cause extensive damage, and the police force of Drow will be dispatched, and when the time comes, he will not face you, but the pursuit and wanted of the entire Drow police force."
"Yes."
"Secondly, they feel that they don't need to use those powerful weapons to hunt you at all, just like humans don't use knives when they kill chickens."
"Hmm."
"Do you know how much that weaponry costs?" Su Ziyun said.
"Two mechas, two ground sniper rifles, one interstellar sniper rifle, and some other weapons...... Liu Fei's brain kept calculating the prices of mechs and sniper rifles on the market, and finally came up with a data that shocked him: "More than three million Zall coins." ”
"Wrong! What you are talking about is just the market price, although the ranking of the two brothers in the killer world is not high, but the equipment used is very advanced, those civilian mecha and sniper rifles are all modified products, and their prices have exceeded five million, of course, this is only a preliminary estimate, and the specific price needs to be estimated by experts. ”
"More than 5 million ......"
Liu Fei suddenly looked sluggish, he had already repented of his intestines when he calculated more than three million, you know, he had already killed those two killers, those mecha sniper rifles and flying skateboards were all his trophies, he actually left in such a dashing manner......
More than five million pieces of equipment, two modified mechas! Liu Fei has always wanted to have his own mecha, and now, he actually missed out on two mecha of his own.
If you had taken the loot at that time, what would you worry about the book fee?
More than five million! Liu Fei secretly wailed, eager to slap himself a few times, the next time he encounters this kind of thing, he must remember to clean up the battlefield.
If Su Ziyun knew that Liu Fei actually wanted someone to assassinate him so that he could collect the loot, he would probably faint to the ground in anger......
Of course, Su Ziyun didn't know that in this world, no one wanted to be targeted by a killer. Now Su Ziyun is just thinking about how to dispel Liu Fei's idea of being a killer.
"Actually, in the killer world, there are too many advanced equipment, and those killers who are ranked in the top 100 are almost a mobile arsenal, casually hundreds of millions."
"Hundreds of millions of ......" Liu Fei opened his mouth and looked incredible, it was unbelievable that a killer actually carried hundreds of millions of equipment.
"Yes, hundreds of millions! Some killers even have their own spaceships, as well as battle mechs. ”
"Spaceship, battle mech."
"Yes, the more advanced the equipment, the higher the success rate, and moreover, you can also take on large orders, the reason is very simple, for example, let you assassinate a target, this target is on a spaceship in outer space, you first have to have your own spaceship as a response, and then you need a combat mech to get close to the spaceship......"
"Is there a space battleship?" Liu Fei asked suddenly.
"Ahem...... No, I haven't heard of that killer owns a space battleship, and if there is a space battleship, it's not a killer anymore. ”
"What is it?" Liu Fei had never entered the vast universe, and he was full of interest and curiosity about anything in that vast space, and he almost forgot that his purpose was to understand the profession of killer.
"First of all, a person can't drive a space battleship, it needs a very professional team, and secondly, a killer doesn't need a battleship as a weapon, you know, using a battleship as equipment is too conspicuous, the target is too big, it will become the target of the government's attack, and the gains outweigh the losses; Generally speaking, the only people who can own space warships are pirates and some deep-rooted big chaebols......"
"Hmm." Liu Fei looked thoughtful, and his mind was already wandering in the vast universe.
"Got it?" Su Ziyun asked.
"What do you know?" Liu Fei was stunned for a moment and raised his head.
"Ahem......"
"Well, I see, even if you want to be a killer, you need enough money to back it up, but I can pick and choose some people who can be hunted without any weapons and equipment." Liu Fei still didn't give up.
"Hehe, of course you can." Su Ziyun smiled.
"Yes!" Liu Fei's eyes lit up.
"Yes, there are a lot of such businesses in the killer association, and there are also a large number of novices who are active at the level you mentioned."
"How?" Liu Fei's eyes lit with a blazing flame of hope.
"Wait a minute, I'll check it for you......" Su Ziyun summoned a miniature light brain from the space ring, and after doing some very complicated operations, a small hologram appeared in the air, and the images were all some data records.
"See for yourself." An imperceptible smile appeared on Su Ziyun's face.
"One thousand, two thousand, one thousand and five ......"
As soon as Liu Fei saw it, he immediately determined that these data were some addresses and bounty amounts announced by the Killer Association, probably for the sake of secrecy and did not announce the names of the targets, among which the slum next to Zall University was hung on it.
Looking at some dense data on the data, Liu Fei suddenly felt a basin of cold water being poured on his head.
This human life is too worthless, the highest price does not exceed 5,000 drows, and the lowest price is only 500 zrows.
If you take over the business at the above price, except for transportation and other Chen capital, I don't know what year and month it will be if you want to earn enough for four years of college expenses.
"Yes, it's these prices, if it's in Drow, you might as well try it, if you leave Drow, it won't make any sense, because the reward is not enough to pay for the round-trip trip."
"Nothing higher?" Liu Fei was a little frustrated.
"No, a rookie killer like you is not qualified to take on a better price business, you have to stand out from these rookies and gradually improve your ranking to be eligible for higher pay."
"Are there a lot of competitors like me?"
"There is no exact number, but it is certain that there are at least 100,000 people."
"100,000 people!" Liu Fei's eyes widened, this data was shocking.
"Yes, 100,000 people, you need to stand out from these 100,000 people, according to the previous data, you must complete more than 100 tasks before it is possible to enter the second stage of the price, the price at that time will be between 5,000 and 20,000, of course, the difficulty of the task has also increased a lot, many rookie killers are killed by the target person at this upgrade stage......"
"How long will it take to reach the price level of the two killers who killed me?" Liu Fei already had a feeling of discouragement, killing people was not a problem, but, according to those prices, if you want to earn tuition, one year is definitely not enough.
"It's usually five years, but it only took two years for those two brothers, and they have already broken the record for the fastest upgrade, and they are known as the most potential young killers in the killer world, but unfortunately, they were killed by you, and they died a little unjustly, hehe......" Su Ziyun looked regretful, obviously, he was also optimistic about the two brothers.
"Two years ......" Liu Fei wanted to say but stopped.
"Yes, two years, of course, if you have the speed of those two brothers, half a year can earn you enough to pay for four years of tuition, however, this possibility is not high, because you are a person, they are two brothers in the division of labor, and you must constantly update your weapons and equipment, that is, the money earned in half a year is only enough for you to buy upgraded equipment."
"Hmm." Liu Fei felt that his hopes had been dashed.
"Actually, it is necessary to tell you that the two brothers have climbed to more than five hundred in just two years, but they don't have much savings, all the money they earn has been purchased equipment, according to common sense, they disdain to make a move on a target like yours, because the economy is a little stretched when traveling in the Wind Grassland, and the goal is very close, there is no difficulty, so they took on this business during the holiday to make some extra money."
This time, Liu Fei completely dispelled the idea of being a killer, and what he regrets most now is that he didn't take away the equipment worth millions of dollars from the two brothers.
There is no regret medicine in the world, of course, Liu Fei has learned from the past and accumulated experience, if there is a next time, he will not make such a stupid mistake.
"Thank you."
Liu Fei exhaled deeply, stood up and strode out, from beginning to end, he didn't take a sip of tea, nor did he eat a thing, naturally, he didn't have to pay.
“……”
Looking at Liu Fei's back as he strode away, Su Ziyun didn't say anything after all, this stubborn young man wouldn't ask for his money.
When Liu Fei returned home and lay on the bed, the night was already deep, and the bright moonlight shone into the porthole, as if a thin layer of frost had been sprinkled into the cockpit.
Liu Fei had insomnia.
The dream of making money from killers has been shattered, and it seems that it is necessary to think of a new way for me.
Liu Fei is not a person who likes to give up, and he has exercised his perseverance and willpower in the inhuman training of the soldering iron head.
At the moment of falling asleep, Liu Fei remembered Li Meng, and didn't know what Li Meng was doing?
Could it be that his master is washing his feet?
A rare smile appeared on Liu Fei's cold face......
What is Li Meng doing?
As Liu Fei guessed, Li Meng was washing the feet of an old man in a hall.
The old man's hair, eyebrows and beard have completely turned white, but he looks like his body is tough, with a strong face, lying on a rattan chaise longue, his eyes slightly closed, and he seems to enjoy Li Meng's service.
The old man was none other than Ma Dabiao, the curator of the Zhenyuan Universe Martial Arts Gym.
"Master, are you comfortable?"
"Comfortable."
Ma Dabiao opened his eyes, glanced at Li Meng, who was focusing on washing his feet, and then at the silver-like moonlight outside the window, a wave of tiredness hit, and he couldn't help but sigh long, old! The martial arts hall is also closing, so it's time to go home and have a look.
"The bright moonlight in front of the bed, suspected to be frost on the ground, look up at the bright moon, bow your head and think of your hometown."
"Ha, master, your old man is too bad, thinking about his wife at home and thinking about Miss Mingyue." Li Meng looked at Ma Dabiao with a ** face, as if he saw a fellow practitioner.
"Ah...... What Bright Moon Girl? Ma Dabiao was stunned.
"Master, I know this poem, it's very famous." Li Meng said with a smug face: "The bright moonlight in front of the bed is suspected to be frost on the ground." Raise your head to look at the bright moon and bow your head to think of your hometown. The translation of this poem is that there was a girl named Mingyue in front of my bed, who had been stripped naked, and her skin was as white and tender as hoarfrost on the ground. Raising her head to look at the slippery bright moon girl, she lowered her head and couldn't help but think of her hometown. This poem reflects the poet's ambivalence as a wandering man, wandering alone, looking for flowers and willows......"
"Ahem......" Ma Dabiao coughed desperately.
"Master, they're all men, hehe! There's nothing to be embarrassed about, otherwise, I'll call you a girl to make you comfortable! Li Meng patted his chest, with an expression wrapped around me, and then said with a sad face: "However, it may be a little difficult to find a girl named Mingyue......
