From ancient times to the present, how many people are so arrogant that they dare to reward themselves?

As long as you don't think you've lived too long, you won't do such crazy things.

But Wang Teng did just that!

People who are not familiar with him may think that he is a madman.

Even those who know him will be deeply shocked by his arrogance.

Hidden under that arrogance is his absolute strength and confidence.

"Three days later, in the evening, the town of Seven ......"

Su Xia's deep gaze stayed on the system map, silently pondering.

From his current location to that town of Seven, if it was a normal time, it would not take an hour to fly directly there.

But now that there are a lot of cyborg patrols around the city, they need to be vigilant and can't be so arrogant anymore.

Even so, Su Xia would probably only need two or three hours to reach the mercenary town.

Before that, he had plenty of time to observe.

"Most of the South Wind organization will send rescuers, and when the time comes, not only will they have to find a way to rescue those ten or so people, but they will also have to protect the safety of those people as much as possible, and there may be some trouble......

Su Xia thought for a moment, and then moved his index finger lightly, slowly tapping on the old cash register.

The radio channel belonging to the mercenary organization still has a voice, but it is not related to the masked monsters, but about the unity of the mercenaries.

Wang Teng is a very ambitious person, and he wants to make his title of "King of Mercenaries" completely solid, so that all the mercenaries in the southwest region will recognize him.

Even, his gaze may have been beyond the southwest region of the continent, and he had already seen farther away.

He may want to set up a different kind of large organization, a terrorist group that is outside the normal world.

"If it's really a trap, then most of the people who are ambushed there are not only him and his subordinates, there may be other forces involved, such as the people from the Zero Tavern, and the people from the Southwest Mercenary Guild......"

Although there was not enough evidence, Su Xia was basically certain that Wang Teng had reached some kind of agreement with the people of the Southwest Mercenary Union.

They are like two thieves, one in the light and the other in the dark, absorbing the blood of the major chambers of commerce in the southwest region.

No matter who it is, as long as he can destroy Wang Teng, his reputation will definitely rise like a rocket, becoming a benefactor and savior in the hearts of many people.

"It's just, with Wang Teng's caution, will he personally sit in Town Seven?"

This time, Su Xia not only wanted to save people, but also wanted to kill people.

The matter between him and Wang Teng should also have a result.

The guy was like a mosquito, creating all kinds of news in his ears all day long, and although it didn't hurt much, it was enough to be upsetting.

"If he's in Town Seven, he's confident enough." Su Xia continued to think, "Now, the news about me is flying all over the sky, and Wang Teng will definitely be able to estimate my strength. ”

"If he's not there, it means that he doesn't have faith in the trap or his own strength, and just sees it as a test......

Su Xia slowly zoomed in on the map, wanting to see the mountains and rivers around the town of Seven.

Unfortunately, since he hadn't been to Town Seven himself, there was still a lot of fog on his map, and he could only compare the rough system map with the map that the player had explored, and he couldn't see much detail.

"The town is in the middle of a hill, surrounded by evergreen vegetation, which is suitable for hiding and ambushing." Su Xia slowly took off the headphones, "You can attack by force, or you can change your appearance and blend in with many mercenaries, there are many ways, you have to come up with a suitable plan." ”

"You're getting a little agitated." Wu Hongyu suddenly glanced at him and said lightly.

"Didn't you?"

Su Xiamo rubbed his chin, he was just thinking about how to save people.

This time there are no task prompts, no rules, nothing, it's all up to him.

And with this freedom of movement, it is easy to get into unexpected trouble.

"Relax, this world can run without anyone." The woman, Wu Hongyu, spoke indifferently, she didn't care about the life or death of those members of the South Wind Organization at all, after all, it had nothing to do with her.

"Some people, if you can, try not to lack it." Susha said.

"Refining potions can calm your mind." Wu Hongyu said casually, "If there are too many things in your head, you can put it first." ”

"Well, that's true, thank you Auntie for the reminder."

When refining potions, you will indeed become unconsciously focused, discard all superfluous thoughts, and let yourself calm down, with only the potions in your hands in your eyes and mind.

Of course, this method is also a double-edged sword.

If the refining fails, that feeling of calm will be shattered in an instant.

If you fail many times, then don't think about calming down, maybe you will become irritable, and your state is not even as good as before refining.

Hong Bafu used to be easy to become irritable, once he failed too many times, he would start to curse in his mouth, and he might even crush the reagent bottle, and after his father left, he became more stable.

Time passed slowly, and the sun set in the west, and it was half past six in the evening.

Boss Zhao from the restaurant across the street shouted: "Master Su, dinner is ready, can you eat here?" ”

"Well, it's over there."

Su Xia regained a smile on her face and nodded slightly.

In the past, when my father was here, Boss Zhao personally delivered the food to the store every time.

But now, Su Xia felt that it was too troublesome, anyway, it was just across the street, and it was more convenient to go directly to eat.

As soon as Dad left, only the three brothers were left in the store, and there was no warmth during the meal, and they always felt that something was missing.

Hearing the sound of the meal, Hong Bafu was the first to run over, holding his stomach with both hands, with a smile on his face, and asked, "Boss Zhao, what is it tonight?" I asked about the scent. ”

"Master Hong, it's your favorite stir-fried lamb and crispy lamb chops, made according to your taste." Boss Zhao replied with a smile.

"I'll just tell you how it smells familiar!"

Hong Bafu's eyes lit up, he took a deep breath, and looked satisfied.

He and Lan Bafu both experienced the war years when they didn't have enough to eat, and at the worst time, the two of them were so thin that they only had a layer of skin left on their bodies, like walking skeletons.

If it hadn't been taken in by Daddy, the two of them would have become one of the countless souls of the years of war.

As a result, eating became the most enjoyable moment of his day.

There are not many people in the restaurant, and the economic situation in Coral City is not very good now, and ordinary people rarely go out to eat in the restaurant.

At the round table at the entrance of the store, a group of children are already sitting in a circle obediently, a pair of big eyes are shining, looking forward to today's dinner.

After seeing Hong Bafu, these children all spoke cordially.

"Good evening, Uncle Beatitude!"

"Good evening, Uncle Hong!"

“……”

"How many times have you said it, don't call uncle, call brother!" Hong Bafu sat next to the children with a straight face, "I'm only in my twenties, but I'm relatively rich and looks older!" ”

"Uncle Hong, the book says it's not good to be too fat." A little girl spoke, her voice sweet.

"What book?"

Hong Bafu rolled his eyes and said strongly: "It must be a pirated book!" How can there be such content in a serious book? ”

These children, naturally, are the children that Su Xia brought back from the demolition accident in the east of the city last time, a total of twelve people, and they are Su Xia's first batch of apprentices.

According to Su Xia's arrangement, these children have been replenishing the basics during this time.

The two beatitudes found the best teachers in the neighborhood for the children, and gave them tutoring every day, striving to make these children reborn in the fastest time.

Among them, Zhao Qin's child Zhao Xiaobai is the fastest learner, very smart, and has already mastered most of the knowledge that he should master at his age.

He is also one of the children with the best talent in herbal medicine, and he can understand part of it when he sees the formula for the first time.

At that time, Su Xia accepted him as an apprentice, not only because of the task of [Zhao Qin's Last Wish], but also because he took a fancy to his talent for medicine.

"Where did Xiaobai go? Why didn't you come back so late? Hong Bafu looked around and found that there was no figure of Zhao Xiaobai at the dinner table.

After coming into contact with Zhao Xiaobai during this period of time, he was very fond of Zhao Xiaobai, a smart child, and he also moved his mind to accept apprentices.

It's just that Zhao Xiaobai is Su Xia's apprentice, and he is not easy to rob, so he can only assist in teaching.

"Yes, why didn't you see Xiaobai?" Lan Bafu also came over and asked many children.

"Brother Xiaobai has gone to the east of the city." A little girl replied with wide eyes.

"What is he doing in the east of the city?" Hong Bafu asked.

"Go and teach." The little girl replied.

"Teaching?" Hong Bafu was stunned, "He is only in his teens, what kind of books does he teach?" To whom to teach? ”

"Teach our friends, friends who used to play in the slums with us, after Grandpa He died, there was no one to teach them......"

Several other children spoke, one by one, and said the specific whereabouts of Zhao Xiaobai.

In the slums to the east of the city, where they once lived, educational resources were scarce, and almost everyone was at the level of prenatal education.

There used to be a retired teacher named He Qiubai who taught them for free, but after the accident, the old teacher also died in the collapsed house.

Knowledge is readily available to children in some parts of the city, but those places do not include the slums.

Zhao Xiaobai was worried that those friends would not get education, so he spent half of his day learning the whole day's courses, and then spent the other half going to the east of the city to teach his friends and partners in person.

"That's ......"

Hong Bafu suddenly sighed: "Xiaobai, this kid, doesn't know if you tell us, we will definitely support this matter." ”

"It's so far east of the city, it takes half an hour to drive, how can he get there? Does he have any money on him? Lan Bafu asked.

"No money." The little girl replied.

"Oh? Why? Lan Bafu asked again.

"There is a very handsome uncle named Chai An, who will drive outside the street every day and send Brother Xiaobai to that side." The little girl blinked her big bright eyes.

"Chai An?" Hong Bafu thought about it, and inexplicably felt that this name was a little familiar.

"He's the secretary of the city lord Qi Lang, and he occasionally appears on TV." Lan Bafu reminded.

"Oh, I remember." Hong Bafu nodded, "That guy wears a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, right?" looks like a sven scum, and he doesn't look like a good person, will he have any intentions for Xiaobai? ”

"Xiaobai is only thirteen years old, and he has no use value at all, what can Chai An do?" Lan Bafu shook his head.

"It's hard to say, I've heard that some perverts like children, especially little boys!"

The two exchanged a few words in a low voice.

Hong Bafu was a little worried, but Lan Bafu felt that it should be fine.

Now there have been rumors among the people, and there are also gossip on various online platforms, it is said that the current city lord Qi Lang is a waste, and he can't even understand the basic urban economy, if it weren't for the help of a secretary named Chai An, he would probably have stepped down a long time ago.

Chai An, although many people have not seen this person, his name often appears in various news channels.

Just as the two were communicating, Su Xia walked over from across the street and sat casually next to Hong Bafu.

"Brother Suxia, good evening!"

"Teacher!"

"Good evening, teacher."

Seeing Su Xia, the children rose from their stools and greeted him in childish voices.

Su Xia bowed slightly, waved his hands, and motioned for everyone to sit down.

He doesn't have many rules here, as long as these kids can study well.

"Let's eat first, you should be hungry, eat more, it's time to grow your body, you lost too much before, and now you have to make up for it." Su Xia smiled and said softly.

Immediately, he turned his head, looked at the two Eight Blessings beside him, and asked, "What are you two talking about?" How to sneak around? ”

"Brother Su, it's Zhao Xiaobai's business......"

Hong Bafu turned his head, lowered his voice, and talked about the worries in his heart.

Hearing this, Su Xia's expression remained unchanged, and he said calmly: "It's okay, that Chai An can be trusted." ”

"Really?" Hong Bafu was a little puzzled.

"Well, he also came out of the slums, not the kind of second-generation child who relies on his family background and connections." Susha said.

"I see."

"You observe for a period of time, if Xiaobai's studies are not left behind, then let him do it."

Su Xia was very pleased with this disciple's choice and would not hinder him in any way.

In the future, pharmacist schools will need a large number of students, and the slums in various areas of the city are the best places for students.

"Brother Su, have you had anything to do these days? Would you like to come with us to the slums for an observation? Hong Bafu asked him.

"I've been ...... for the past few days. It's a little trifle. ”

"A trifle?"

"Well, the little things ......"

Su Xia's tone was as usual, and he didn't say it explicitly.

In this world, killing people is really not a big deal.

……

At the same time, in the middle of the wilderness, in the rolling hills, there is a very special town.

This town is the No. 7 town of wandering mercenaries that many merchants hate.

In the north of the town, in the private room of a bar, more than a dozen people in black robes are deliberating.

"Do you think the masked monster is coming?" One of them spoke, he was tall, with a hideous scar on his face, and a sinister aura all over his body, who was none other than the person in charge of this town of Seven.

"Probably not."

The other shook his head slightly, and said, "The last time the masked monster appeared was in the north, it is impossible to return to the south so soon, and it is good that he is still alive under the siege of the automatons." ”

"That's right, he's probably still alive on some island right now." A person next to him said.

"Maybe he's already gone to the other two continents."

"As long as you can catch all the people from the South Wind Organization, don't worry about that masked monster, he can't come!"

"What if he comes?"

"It's better he's coming!"

"Humph! With Boss Wang Teng here, even if the masked monster comes, he can only be buried here! ”

Several of these people had an almost blind trust in Wang Teng, believing that Wang Teng must be capable of killing the masked monster.

If it weren't for that, with the character of that masked monster who would repay him, why didn't he dare to come to Wang Teng all the time?

"Don't worry, even if Boss Wang Teng can't keep him, don't we still have President Luo Xi?" The head of the town spoke, looking at one of the black-robed men.

"Hehe......"

The black-robed man chuckled, raised his head, and slowly took off the black hood on his head.

The face under the hood is a little sallow, it doesn't seem to be very healthy, it gives people a sickly and gloomy feeling, it is Luo Xi, the president of the Southwest Mercenary Union.

"Thank you for your trust." He smiled faintly, "If Wang Teng can't keep the masked monsters, and the traps you set up are all invalid, then ...... I'll do it myself! ”

"Then thank you, President Luo!" Said the head of the town.

"It's okay, just forget our agreement." Luo Xi glanced at the people present, he came here in person, naturally not just to watch the trial ceremony three days later.

"How sure is President Law? How strong are you against the masked monster? One of them was a little uneasy and couldn't help but ask.

"Hehe, you don't have to worry, as long as he dares to come, this will become his graveyard."
