July 4, 2004, Runde Building, 46th Floor, Block A.

In the evening, Tang Wei, the CEO of the Millennium Labor Export Company, known as the "Three Youths", was playing "Red Alert 2", while listening to the continuous sound of rain outside the window, waiting for the nagging father to urge him to go home for dinner.

On the surface, Tang Wei is engaged in labor export, and his business is very big, he bought the entire 21st floor of Block A of the Runde Building, drove a majestic Escalade SUV, and had eighty or ninety younger brothers under him, but in fact, Tang Wei felt that he was a blue-collar worker.

He's a hunter.

He knew that there were many people like him around the world who took on tasks on a website called "Hunter's Market" and hunted for big prizes. Clients around the world upload tasks and recruit capable hunters.

Registered members who are confident that they can take on tasks can reply to the email on the site and attach their resume. This process is called "posting", and the client chooses among the hunters who post.

Tang Wei knew that most of these tasks were a bit weird, and it was common to crawl in and out of the ancient tombs, but he couldn't make money because he couldn't endure hardship. Tang Wei has a bit of talent and is suitable for this industry. Tang Wei's company is a hunter company, and the younger brothers have a few brushes, and every time they do a single task, the younger brother and the company are half open.

This job is thrilling and exciting, the only problem is that Tang Wei doesn't know whether he is an underworld or a white way, and he has no confidence in the "Hunter Market" website that made him rich.

No one could tell what the site was, not even a moderator, just Nido, an administrator who rarely showed up. If you violate the rules, you will receive a warning email from that person.

Tang Wei's ID is "3rd_young_master", three less.

According to the weather forecast, the heavy rain that began yesterday afternoon will continue until tomorrow, and the weather will be clear again when the typhoon passes.

Typhoons are a common occurrence for the people of this coastal city, so no one panics, but happily enjoys an unexpected three-day holiday at home.

I couldn't go out on a typhoon day, so the whole family sat happily in front of the TV and watched variety shows, and the parents just took the opportunity to make up for the regret that they didn't have time to spend with their children.

The commercial areas on the first to fifth floors of Runde Building have also entered a state of temporary operation, and the water around the building is quite deep, and there are almost no people coming and going.

But as a hunter and the owner of a security company, Tang Wei can't take a vacation as casually as others, in addition to providing security services for the building and needing a comprehensive inspection, he also has to care about the task entrustment on the hunter's website to see if there is a suitable one to post and make a fortune.

"If only it was as easy to make money as it was to play games." With a click of the mouse, dozens of tanks pushed a simple enemy, Tang Wei took a sip of "Yamazaki" whiskey and said casually.

Over the years, he led his younger brother to dig dozens of ancestral graves that were rewarded by the hunter net, and encountered a lot of evil things, although he did earn a lot, but when dealing with the monsters that emerged from the tombs, he was also considered to be walking on a tightrope, and if he was not careful, he would be empty of people and money.

Therefore, carefully weighing one's own strength, choosing a task with just the right difficulty, and grasping the direction of the "three less" group is the top priority for hunters to survive and make money.

is also a real-time strategy game, Tang Wei only plays Red Alert, and does not play StarCraft, which sounds difficult.

When he tried to play a few games of the latter, he met a guy named "Old Tang" who was suspected of having the same surname and was directly killed on the spot, so Tang Wei knew very well that this game was too brain-intensive to play and was not suitable for him to spend time.

Boredom paused the red alert, Tang Wei switched the screen, moved the mouse slightly, and landed on the website "Hunter Market".

He entered the ID and password of "3rd_young_master", and when he hit the enter key, the page was refreshed from top to bottom, with a pitch-black background, dark green lines, and crimson fonts, like a door to another world opening in front of him.

"The latest mission, looking for a beautiful girl with a foreign accent in our city? You don't need to deal with the target, you just need to try to get close to the other party and collect her information...... It doesn't seem like it's a difficult task. ”

The client attached a low-resolution photograph of a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl dressed in ancient costume, who from a distance looked like a harmless little animal, the kind of thing with big eyes that could curl herself into a small one.

Browsing to the end of the post, Tang Wei's eyes suddenly widened: "The reward amount, 10 million US dollars?!" ”

With such a high bounty, the large number of replies quickly pushed the quest to the top of the list, and many veteran Grand Hunters expressed concern and speculated about the relationship between the client and the target.

……

Just when Tang Wei, the most well-known hunter in the local area, revisited the details of the mission and wanted to find out why this commission was worth tens of millions, almost no one knew about it, but the target girl mentioned in the post had already come to the bottom of the Runde Building.

In this small coastal city, Tang Wei's company is actually a top-ranked enterprise, with a valuation of more than 100 million, although it is far less than the Black Prince Group, the first local enterprise with a scale of tens of billions, compared with the second-ranked Sujia Mining Company, the three listed companies of the Lu family are much worse, but they should not be underestimated, and they can be compared with Zhao Menghua's company.

It is the strategy set by Zhao Qing and others to take down this hunter company that did not dare to call the police because of its involvement in crime, obtain the first pot of gold, and legally engage in the "security" industry, use the other party's original channels to purchase weapons, and develop a certain amount of force.

Located at the edge of the business district, the Runde Building, which can be called the commanding height of the surrounding area, has a wide field of vision, and is only three or four kilometers away from the suburban viaduct area, and on the other side, you can also see the old town where Shilan Middle School and Lu Mingfei are located, which is the qualified outpost in her plan.

The twin buildings, which are more than 200 meters long, have only a faint light on typhoon days, casting huge shadows obliquely.

And at the entrance of this building, Shi Yiguang glanced at the three entourages behind him, and stretched out a huge black umbrella, and a black-colored crystal pillar exuding an icy aura was nested in the handle of the umbrella, and there were some intricate patterns in the crystal pillar, which was slightly shiny.

She took out a purple chip that seemed to solidify the burning flame and gently inserted it into the depression in the middle of the ink crystal, and suddenly the amethyst melted, and the released light flame began to spread to the entire umbrella surface, forming a layer of deep purple arc, as well as an invisible field that expanded outward at an extremely rapid pace.

At the moment of contact with this expanded field, within a radius of 100 meters, the electrical appliances still running in the Runde Building are all one end: short circuit, broken wire, and paralysis.

To put it more accurately, it is like being attacked by a small electromagnetic pulse weapon, and the nearby electrical circuits are immediately interrupted, but because the power outage is normal on typhoon days, it will not attract too many people's attention.

This is the special move "Flowing Essence Jade Yao" attached to the Purple Blood Dafa, after Zhao Qing "seals" some of the moves he knows in the crystal, it can be handed over to Shi Yiguang and others to plug and play, releasing the power in it.

After shielding a large area of surveillance probes and causing the main monitoring room and elevator on the second floor to malfunction, a three-person team began to gradually sweep each floor of the building, finding and bringing down the security guards guarding it, and quickly approaching the high-rise building.

The girl turned the large black umbrella surrounded by purple electricity, threw out the amethyst fragment in the groove, and then inserted a new cyan chip, the cyan crystal melted, and a swirling wind began to appear, lifting the entire umbrella and letting it suspend in mid-air, like a light hummingbird.

The wind whirlwind gradually accelerated, the downward thrust became stronger and stronger, Shi Yiguang clutched the ink-colored umbrella handle, his long hair curled like a cloud, his body fluttered and danced, covered with a light veil made of rain, and slowly rose towards the upper floors of Runde Building.

……

In the office on the top floor of the Runde Building, Tang Wei put aside the "Yamazaki" whiskey, replaced it with a cool can of Coke, drank it all in one gulp, and watched the lightning that had just been split outside in front of the floor-to-ceiling window.

A moment ago, the computer suddenly flashed screen, and the situation quickly recovered, which made him feel uncomfortable, as if something was going to happen.

Probably because the commission is dangerous and not easy to accept? The big order of 10 million US dollars, the "3A" level of difficult tasks, it seems that a hunter of his level can get his hands on it, and the employers in the hunter market are generally very good, and it is impossible to be generous just to give people money.

The reward of this line is always proportional to the danger.

Tang Wei didn't want to look closely at this website whose pages were always dark and terrifying, so he switched back to the red alert game just now and restarted the game.

Perhaps because of his absent-mindedness, he suddenly found that he had forgotten to set up the division of forces, and the system defaulted to the fact that every AI was an enemy, which meant that Tang Wei had lost three ruthless teammates and had to face seven ruthless enemies.

Maybe a game master like "Old Tang" can do one dozen seven, but Tang Wei thinks that he doesn't have this ability, thinking that it was almost time to go home for dinner, he simply decided to wait until he was wiped out by the group and immediately shut down the phone and take the VIP elevator downstairs.

At that moment, he shuddered.

……

The security of Runde Building is very tight, and the developer has contracted the security work of the building to this group of hunters, so the whole building is theirs. They know that they can't see people in their business, so they protect themselves in this way.

On the main road on the 21st floor, Ding Ning and Nangong Caishu encountered a large number of enemies, which were as many as forty or fifty security guards.

By the standards of a martial arts school, these specially trained security guards can definitely be regarded as top students, one can fight three or five.

Facing the fierce strong men of the brigade, Nangong Caishu looked dazed, and her right hand slowly fell on the hilt of the fish-patterned iron sword she was carrying.

Half an hour ago, she and Ding Ning took over the "pioneering" task assigned by Zhao Qing, and then drilled into a hidden mountain passage, and as soon as her consciousness was slightly blurred, she appeared in this strange world where the landscape was completely different from Baiyang Cave, or incompatible with the Great Qin Dynasty.

Nangong Caishu was almost completely unrecognizable by the text here, and could only guess that she had come to an extremely distant place for some reason, and she had to follow the guidance of another girl here and complete a series of tasks to obtain Zhao Qing's reward.

Unlike all the hardships and dangers that she made up in her brain, it seems that the mission carried out here is not too difficult, and she only needs to subdue all the enemies with zero casualties against dozens of miscellaneous soldiers who have no cultivation and are dressed in strange clothes.

Glancing at the strange boy who was in charge of communication on the side and was also in the local dress style, Nangong Caishu made a simple gesture, and then with a pure straight line, he brought out a series of afterimages and charged towards the security guards who surrounded him.

Streams of water-like true yuan flowed out of her fingertips, and kept pouring into the fish-patterned iron sword in her hand.

All the fish scale patterns on the body of this black fish-patterned iron sword began to be filled with dazzling and viscous silver light, and it looked as if the inside of this sword was already filled with a large amount of silver water, and it was about to seep out of these runes, but it just couldn't seep out.

The body of the fish-patterned iron sword itself seemed to be unable to withstand this kind of power, and began to tremble sharply, shaking out countless silver lights.

In the cold air, there were constant waves of air.

It's just an unusually straight sword, but it feels like it's a myriad of swords.

This is her father's Liancheng sword trick of Nangong Pocheng, the general who guards Lishi County.

In the recorded stories of the Qin army and the Zhao Dynasty, Nangong Pocheng had many experiences of slashing several heavily armored chariots with one sword.

This is an extremely strong sword momentum that is controlled by true qi and continuously exerts force.

After a single sword, slashed riot shields and electric batons flew in all directions, knocking over the hordes of security guards and scaring the fierce men into fleeing towards the walled area.

Some people press the elevator frantically, trying to escape, some people are dialing the phone, recording last words, some people kneel on the ground and beg for mercy, saying Grandma, you can find the door, I really didn't dig your grave, that time the coffin was opened by the old king next door, and there is a debtor!

Nangong Caishu didn't understand at all, Ding Ning's face remained unchanged, and he was thoughtful in his heart, and quickly caught up with the few people who escaped the fastest to make up for a few hand knives and knock them unconscious.

The rest of the security guards and a few little sisters saw that these two young people were really not easy to mess with, so they all turned their eyes to the other person guarding the corridor.

The other party looked to be fourteen or fifteen years old, with a well-defined face, a broad forehead, a straight nose, powerful eyebrows, and warm dark eyes, looking like a good student.

He was Chu Zihang, who lost his father last night, and it only took half a day to recover, and he joined the three-person team directly, temporarily serving as a "translator".

"Lay down your weapons and fall on the spot! Stop resisting and surrender now! Marveling at Fang Cai's powerful sword style, Chu Zihang opened his mouth with a cold face to persuade him to surrender, his fingers gently caressing the hilt of the sword of "Village Rain", imagining in his heart how he could make the same change.

Although he hadn't figured out a lot yet, he could see that the new organization he had joined seemed to be able to systematically train young people into masters of amazing strength, and indeed had the power to help him take revenge on the gods.

At present, what Chu Zihang has obtained is a mysterious exercise called "Yellow Sky Dafa", which is claimed to be able to control the Ninefold Sun True Fire and use the Zhiyang Sword Gang to kill all enemies, which is said to be very compatible with his cultivation talent, and he should enter the realm very quickly.

As for the "Imperial Divine Sword Village Rain" in his hand, after Zhao Qing came down yesterday and provided a batch of materials and equipment, Shi Yiguang naturally returned the treasure knife to the other party, after all, this is the only relic left by Chu Tianjiao to Chu Zihang - if the black umbrella and Maybach are not included.

At this moment, Chu Zihang suddenly heard the sound of metal impacting, which was a gun loaded.

A security guard raised a forbidden imitation "Black Star" pistol, and under the cover of his companions, he quietly aimed at Nangong Caishu, who had the highest performance of force just now.

It could be seen that her and Ding Ning's behavior and knowledge were similar to those of the ancients, Chu Zihang immediately thought that the two of them probably did not know the power of modern firearms, and they might not be able to dodge in time, so they hurriedly opened their mouths and shouted in an attempt to remind them.

However, at this moment, Nangong Caishu already had a small cyan sword in his left hand.

A faint blue light swept by, like a vine leaf growing in the air.

The vine leaf landed on the barrel of the "Black Star" pistol, cutting it into two pieces, and the security guard with the gun was covered in blood and jumped backwards in surprise.

As a cultivator from the military, she naturally would not ignore any lethal talisman.

……

At the same time, Shi Yiguang grabbed the big umbrella that was flying around, and the whole person hovered in the pouring rain more than 200 meters above the ground, dancing with the blowing mist, she blinked her eyes, and the whole city was reflected in her clear pupils.

From such a high vantage point, everything seems so small that it feels as if you are far away from the world.

Lonely, high.

So she waved the umbrella in her hand, and the dark cyan wind blade easily tore through the solid double tempered glass on the top layer, and then slowly retracted the umbrella, and her body floated into the office here like a kite, her feet landing again, and her shoes and boots that were not wet at all stepped on the expensive carpet in the room.

Tang Wei didn't notice the movement around him, because he was buried in the computer game, hurriedly driving his only remaining remnant blood base car, evading the pursuit of countless tanks and planes, and from time to time he unfolded back blood, trying to delay until the last moment.

A white hand suddenly appeared, snatched the mouse from Tang Wei's hand, and aborted his operation.

"It's game over." Looking at the base on the screen that was occupied by enemy engineers, Shi Yiguang said lightly: "Your 'Millennium Labor Export Company' has completely fallen, and all the younger brothers and sisters have been captured. If you still want to maintain the good life you used to have, follow my instructions. ”

"Who are you? What's going on? Hearing the strange voice that seemed to be newly learned, Tang Wei asked incredulously, and at the same time turned over violently, looking at the enemy who should be standing behind, and tried his best to widen his eyes.

His eyes burned like the eyes of a lizard or a snake, and like golden gas lamps.

This is Tang Wei's biggest secret, he can eat the hunter's bowl of rice, all thanks to these eyes. When he concentrates his entire mind, his pupils change color, and everything that has been evil hitherto will flee in front of these golden pupils.

However, this kind of low-blooded golden pupil was less than one-tenth of the power of the original black shadow giant, and it could not have the slightest impact on the girl, on the contrary, it seemed to have some kind of backlash against Tang Wei himself.

"Original...... It's you! Thinking of the picture attached to the bounty list, his heart was pounding, his hands and feet were a little weak, and he couldn't help but suspect that he had been approached by some strange thing, and he had suffered retribution for digging people's ancestral graves.

"Do you recognize me?" Shi Yiguang shook Tang Wei, who was trembling wildly, and felt that he would not be able to make the other party return to normal for a while, so he took the laptop and this person's body on the side, searched for a VIP card, swiped the elevator door, and began to go down.

I don't know what I accidentally bumped into when I entered the elevator, the game page closed, and the Hunter Market website reopened, only to see that the bounty commission about her had many new replies, and the popularity instantly overwhelmed the others.

Popular old posts such as "Atlantis Underwater Adventure, Sincerely Invite Companions", "A Large Batch of Arms Clearance Sale, the Lowest Price in History", "The Old Corpse in the Mountain Village Ran Away, Asking Senior Mages to Suppress It" suddenly became unpopular.

In another window next to the website, a new weather forecast issued by the city's meteorological bureau is scrolled and inserted:

Typhoon No. 0407 "Dandelion", which was originally scheduled to leave tomorrow, has suddenly slowed down, the movement path has been slightly adjusted, and the recent stormy weather may be extended by two days, so please be prepared......

At the same time, outside the elevator passage, directly above the Runde Building, a white cloud slowly squeezed out from the gray-black cumulonimbus clouds, the whole body shimmered with crystal color, and projected an imperceptible faint light downward.

……

More than an hour later, 18,000 kilometers away in Illinois, USA, 11 time zones, the headquarters of Kassel College.

In the early hours of the morning, the central control room on the second floor of the library was brightly lit. Standing in front of a giant 3D projection, Manstein is hovering in front of him with a 5-meter-high virtual globe that quickly turns to where he wants to see it with a gentle wave of his hand. It feels like God is fiddling with His creation, and it gives you the thrill of being swept up and the joy of being in power.

If politicians know that there is such an advanced projection system in the world, they will definitely compete to buy it to satisfy their desire to guide the country, if they want to cos Hitler, they will cos Hitler, and if they want to cos Genghis Khan, they will cos Genghis Khan, just like the gentleman in "From the Garden of Herbs to the Three Flavors Study", "Tie Ruyi, the commander is dignified, and everyone is shocked; Kimporo, upside down, a thousand cups are not drunk......"

But Manstein didn't enjoy it at all, and Manstein wanted to die.

Seven or eight red lights flashed on the surface of the dark blue "earth" at the same time, and sirens sounded one after another. The entire central control room was filled with the click of high-speed keystrokes, the hissing of printer work, and the click of mechanical cipher machines translating ciphers, which weighed on his head.

This is the atmosphere in this control room, day and night, and tonight it is Manstein's turn to be the hapless professor on duty.

Up to 70 specialists and interns work here, each facing several terminals at the same time. The secretary of the academy, or the super host named "Norma", captures all the information related to the academy from all over the world, and finally has to be analyzed and decided one by one, and the central control room is the think tank of this academy.

In fact, the professors on duty are usually in groups of three, and tonight it will be his, Guderian's and Schneider, the director of the executive department.

However, at this moment, the unreliable Guderian was lying on the table and falling asleep, leaving only Manstein and Schneider to work with red eyes - until Schneider, who had always been known as the "steel enforcer", said that he had something to leave for the time being, and the pressure fell on him alone.

"There are new 'A' class quests, related to the Hunter website." Just when Manstein couldn't hold on and wanted to wake up his old friend Guderian to the top, Schneider finally rushed back in time and said slowly: "The target is likely to involve the newly revived dragons. ”
