Chapter 62: The Old Cat's Entrustment
……
"An orphanage?"
Bai Ye was a little surprised, but he didn't expect that the client turned out to be a person from a public welfare facility.
The existence of some public welfare facilities in the dark zone sounds extremely fantastical, but in fact, they are also fundamentally different from the kind of "public welfare facilities" understood by earthlings, where "welfare" refers to the meaning of "the future opportunity to be matched by the forces behind the investment".
There are a lot of people messing around in this place every day, and there are also many people who have lost their parents or simply been sold the moment they were born, and the orphanage is the place where these human resources are handled.
But not everyone can get in.
The children who can be selected by the orphanage are smarter than the others, at least in normal times.
But.
The environment inside the orphanage will not be very good, and the forces that invested in the construction of these facilities are not the people of the welfare home, and it will be easier for people to develop loyalty and become a good dog after struggling to grow up in a difficult environment and suddenly accept the help of nobles.
What's that?
You ask, it's so high-tech, there's no brainwashing, loyalty chips and other technologies?
That kind of thing costs money for a trip, are you worthy of this fate?
These things will not be given to you until you enter the other party's power and are truly considered worthy of being absorbed by the other party.
The location of this orphanage is not too far from here, it can be reached by crossing two streets, and there is no need for transportation.
Since it was a public facility supported by the forces, there was no reason why the people inside would not know how much it would cost to hire the Blood Rose, and this extremely abnormal situation made her a little interested.
If it's not far away, just drop by.
Just like the only public welfare facilities in the dark area, compared to the towering and magnificent super skyscrapers around it, it looks so short and dilapidated, and it looks very lonely and depressed through the closed door.
"This kind of place, if it's placed in an online novel, how many protagonists can't come out at the beginning?"
While complaining to himself, he stood on tiptoe and pressed the pager button at the gate, this body is fine for everything, but it is too petite.
Although the Lori character is a very cute type in the eyes of others.,It seems to be an angel gifted by God.,But for this Lori herself,In fact, there are still a lot of troubles in daily life.,First of all, it's too petite.。
"Hello, who are you looking for?"
Soon, a mechanically synthesized electronic tone emerged from the communicator.
"Is this Chris Orphanage? Your people posted a joint assignment on the Blood Rose platform, you can't forget it so quickly, right? ”
Bai Ye directly revealed his identity, and the other party was directly silent.
The silence lasted for a few seconds before an unfamiliar voice resounded in the communicator: "You are Miss Bai?" Please come to the orphanage office, I'm sorry I can't come and greet you directly, I have another guest here. ”
"Me?"
Bai Ye hung up the communication, looking at the door that automatically opened in front of him, but his attention was focused on the word of the other party's communication.
It's me, not us.
Is there only one person in this now?
The orphanage's office is not hard to find, there is a road map at the entrance, and you can take the elevator down the main building to the top floor, but the interior of the building feels like a trip back to a bygone era.
Dimmy, cluttered, quiet.
As a public facility, it now has the flavor of a dark zone.
It's just that when he came to the door of the office, the moment the automatic door opened, Bai Ye saw an unexpected guy inside, an acquaintance.
"Old cat?!"
"White ...... White leaves? How did you come here? ”
In the small office, the person sitting in the guest chair is no one else, it is the old cat who has been helping Bai Ye many times in the past six months.
Bai Ye was surprised, and the old cat was also surprised.
In Shiraba's image, the old cat seemed to never leave the shop, but now it seems that this guess is completely wrong, and he didn't see it when he left.
"Old cat, did you send this commission?"
Seeing that the old cat was here, Bai Ye directly put out the order on the personal terminal, and asked with a surprised and doubtful expression.
"You gave her the commission?"
But what I didn't expect was.
Almost at the same time, the old cat instead looked at the middle-aged man next to him, a well-dressed man who seemed to have a lot less of the unique smell of the dark zone than the people who could be seen everywhere in the dark zone, but a lot more kind.
The two speak in unison, although the question asked is not the same question.
"Uh...... I don't know, when I was looking for a mercenary, I went straight to the last page, and she ...... Ah, Miss Bai, she's on the last page of the dark tier list, and I'm wondering if it would be cheaper to hire her......"
"She? Would it feel cheap to hire her? ”
Looking at the other party's overwhelmed answer, although the old cat couldn't see it on his expression, he could also hear it in his tone: "She has only been a dark mercenary for a few days, and her reputation hasn't been played yet, Blood Rose's points are not much, of course, on the last page, but her skills, top expert level, believe me, if you want to hire her, it will definitely not be cheap!" ”
"Huh?"
At this point, the middle-aged man was also dumbfounded.
His eyes looked up and down again, and at the same time stared at Bai Ye at the door with a rather helpless gaze, he really didn't expect this little girl to have such a high evaluation.
"The old cat is indeed right, I was not a person of Blood Rose a few days ago, and the list was only made of a single dark sand organization, and the Blood Rose points are only one point."
"But if you calculate the money according to the method and want to hire me, I won't give you a sky-high asking price, but you will get more than 5,000 yuan."
"Also, how much does it cost to pay for the later tasks, I look at the difficulty of the task content."
Bai Ye leaned directly against the door, holding his hands in his arms, and explained indifferently.
Business above.
What she should say is still to say, she is not from the welfare institute and is not a virgin, and the money she should give will not be less, originally this time I came to see what the situation is, to see who is so powerful, as for the matter of taking over this task?
Three thousand jobs, she felt that if she really answered, the night crow would come to the phone later.
"This ......"
Hearing this price, the man was even more dumbfounded.
More than 3,000 credits, he and several companions in the courtyard managed to make it together for a long time, but the opening in front of him was an astronomical figure of 5,600.
That's just the hiring fee, not the mission fee, and the commission fee on the Blood Rose side is not counted.
"Don't you know? Your orphanage is an educational facility supported by major forces, you seem to be the person in charge here, why don't you even know such basic common sense? ”
But before the question was finished, the old cat who had been listening next to him spoke.
His voice sounded complicated: "Bai Ye, Chris Orphanage is not supported by some big force, it is a real traditional public welfare facility, and I am an investor here." ”
"Huh?"
The old cat was surprised, and Bai Ye looked at each other in surprise.
What the hell, you also set up an orphanage?
"Yes, Mr. Old Cat is the only investor in our Chris Orphanage, and the purpose of building this place is not to send those children into the tiger's mouth of the force, but to really protect them to grow up normally, and when the time comes, they will have the power to survive when they return to the dark zone."
The middle-aged man nodded and took over the conversation.
"Old cat, how do you ......"
"Don't ask, Bai Ye, some of the things about Chen Sesame and Rotten Grain in the past, you just think that my conscience can't get over it, you can take this commission, and I will help the orphanage pay the rest of the money...... Originally, I came here this time to discuss finding the good hand of the Blood Rose, but since you are here, I am also relieved. ”
The old cat raised his hand and waved it, signaling Bai Ye not to continue to inquire about this matter.
Looking at his appearance, it is obvious that the reason for doing this is not something that can be said casually, and as for the commission fee, he can pay for the small amount of money.
"Come on, by the way, what does I have to do with you, just give 5,000 commission fees."
"Forget it, it won't be less than how much you should give, your daily expenses as a mercenary are much greater than mine, and even if you can, the guy behind you, the guy who pulled you up knows it, I'm afraid I'm going to give you a lesson again, what kind of dark mercenary's status is Balabala."
The money was very refreshing, the old cat looked at Bai Ye, and a remittance was sent directly through the Blood Rose platform.
However, the client of the order has an old cat's name in it.
In a sense, this is an old cat's commission.
In terms of cost.
Remove the minimum price of 5,000 credits for entrusting dark-level mercenaries, as well as 5,000 credits as a task reward, a total of 10,000, as a low-difficulty commission without blood rose points, the standard dark-level list.
This old cat really didn't see that he was so rich.
"Commissioned to be established, tell me, what to do?"
The order was taken.
Bai Ye's face immediately changed, and he directly entered the work mode, casually sitting next to the old cat with his legs crossed.
"Earlier today, the orphanage took the children out to play, but on the way here, I don't know who saw Qian Yankai and hooked up with the scavenger, and the gang directly hijacked the children's cars, I need you to help me rescue the children, if you can, help me find out who hooked up with the scavenger."
When it comes to business, the old cat's attitude has also become serious, and the last sentence is even more murderous.
Undoubtedly, the old cat was angry inside.
"Scavengers? No wonder you have to find the mercenaries of the dark rank, not the scorpion rank. ”
Listen up.
Bai Ye also understood why he had to hire a dark mercenary, it was not a scavenger in the dark area, large and small forces could not be afraid of the identity and strength of the scorpion mercenary, but they couldn't provoke the dark order.
"Cheng, give me the position, within half an hour, it's done!"
