Chapter 70: The Value of Gold Coins
"Quite a few, young master."
Vlad shook his head and explained softly: "The gold coins issued by the High Table are not tied to secular currency, it is a value entity that embodies rules and contributions, representing the various services that you can enjoy within the organization, these services are not tied to secular values, only the value is determined by the degree of difficulty, and the starting price is at least one gold coin......"
Lin Zhongtian said thoughtfully: "In other words, whether I buy a gun or order a glass of wine, it is worth at least one gold coin?" ”
Vlad nodded: "That's right. ”
Lin Zhongtian nodded suddenly: "I see." ”
No wonder he felt a little awkward when he first watched the movie.
John Wick buys guns and ammunition from a bartender in Part 2 for only one gold coin, and it only costs one gold coin to find a custom bulletproof suit from an underground handmade clothing store.
But then I ordered a glass of wine with the black bodyguard at the Continental Hotel, and it actually cost a gold coin.
The secular value of these three services is very different, but they also represent a service within the organization.
Since it is a service, then the starting price is at least one gold coin.
Looking at it this way, the news that a gold coin worth $100,000 uploaded on the Internet is purely a rumor.
Lin Zhongtian rubbed the gold coins in his hand and asked casually, "Then what can these gold coins do?" ”
Vlad replied: "Staying at a continental hotel, buying weapons and equipment, customizing bulletproof suits, enjoying medical care, issuing various types of bounty missions such as assassination and barter, and ......"
Lin Zhongtian raised his eyebrows and said, "And the cleaning and disposal of the corpse, right?" ”
Vlad nodded silently and did not speak.
Lin Zhongtian took out ten gold coins and handed them to Vlad: "These gold coins are for you, you go to the Continental Hotel to help me inquire about someone." ”
Vlad shook his head and returned the gold coins to Lin Zhongtian: "Young master, not everyone can use gold coins, and even if people without membership get gold coins, they can't enjoy the services of the organization." ”
Lin Zhongtian was surprised: "You are not qualified? ”
Vlad shook his head and said, "No." ”
Lin Zhongtian asked again: "Then do I have it?" ”
Vlad nodded: "Lord and Miss both have memberships, and now that they are dead, as long as you appear in the Continental Hotel, the hotel's administrator will hand over their qualifications to you." ”
"I see."
Lin Zhongtian nodded and put away the ten gold coins.
Then, he put the gold coins back in the safe, took out the sealed bag containing the materials, closed the cabinet door, turned his head and said, "Okay, I don't have a problem, Vlad, you can go out first, let me stay alone in the study for a while." ”
“…… Be. ”
Vlad bowed and was about to leave, when Lin Zhongtian stopped him again.
"Wait, I almost forgot, the surveillance video at the gate of the manor!"
"Understood, young master, I'm going to destroy them."
Vlad nodded, then respectfully walked back.
As Vlad's footsteps faded away, Lin Zhongtian opened the window of his study.
A golden figure descended from the sky and entered the study, it was the golden armor god general who had been staying above the manor.
Lin Zhongtian controlled the Golden Armor God to pace back and forth, and finally made him stop behind the side of the desk, and nodded with satisfaction.
"That's it, look comfortable."
After doing this, Lin Zhongtian took out the sealed paper materials from the sealed bag and flipped through them with interest.
……
……
The next morning, Vlad came to the door of the study with breakfast and knocked on the door.
"Please come in."
Lin Zhongtian's voice came from the study.
Vlad straightened his collar and pushed the door open.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw a golden humanoid sculpture beside Lin Zhongtian, looking at the mighty appearance, it seemed to be a heavenly soldier and a heavenly general in Chinese mythology.
Vlad had never been a talkative person, and even if he was full of doubts, he didn't mean to ask, but silently placed the silver tray with breakfast in front of Lin Zhongtian.
Lin Zhongtian was very satisfied with Vlad's performance, so he threw a jade medal to him.
Vlad hurriedly caught it, raised his head, and looked at Lin Zhongtian suspiciously.
Lin Zhongtian didn't explain, but said: "Wear it close to your body, don't take it off." ”
Vlad hesitated for a moment, then put the jade on his body.
After breakfast, Lin Zhongtian took the gold coins and left the study with Vlad and came to the underground garage of the manor, where many expensive luxury cars were parked.
At Vlad's suggestion, Lin Zhongtian chose a black bulletproof version of the Audi.
The car is fitted with multi-layered hybrid bulletproof glass up to eight centimeters thick to withstand continuous rifle fire, and the body is made of a new polycarbonate material, which is 60 percent lighter than steel plates, but ten times stronger.
Vlad suggested that Lin Zhongtian choose this car, obviously frightened by last night's news, worried that the young master would also repeat the mistakes of his parents.
Lin Zhongtian got into the car, and Vlad served as the driver to take him to the door of the Continental Hotel in Los Angeles.
After the car was stopped, Vlad pushed the door and got out of the car, respectfully opening the door of the back seat.
Lin Zhongtian calmly got out of the car and took Vlad into the Continental Hotel in Los Angeles.
Coming to the front desk, a dark-haired man in a suit raised his head behind the front desk, glanced at him, and spoke politely.
"Is there anything I can do to help you?"
"I want to inquire about someone."
Hearing Lin Zhongtian's request, the black-haired man in the suit glanced at him again, picked up the black wired phone placed at the front desk, dialed a short number, and then asked politely, "May I ask what your name is?" ”
Lin Zhongtian said: "Jed Zuo." ”
The man in the suit nodded and gave the name to the other end of the phone.
After a while, the man in the suit hung up the phone and said respectfully: "Welcome to the Continental Hotel, Mr. Zuo, on behalf of the hotel manager, I would like to express my deep condolences on behalf of the hotel manager for what happened to your parents last night......"
Lin Zhongtian nodded calmly and said, "I accept your condolences, can I start serving now?" ”
"Of course, Mr. Zuo."
The man in the suit nodded, then held out a hand.
Lin Zhongtian took out a gold coin and put it in his palm.
The man in the suit put away the gold coin, pointed to the elevator behind him, and said, "Please go to the bar on the third basement floor and find a man named Willen Lynch, who wears a pair of pale yellow glasses, has no beard, and has a cigarette scar on his chin, which is easy to identify." ”
"Thank you."
Lin Zhongtian nodded and walked towards the elevator.
Vlad did not have a membership and could only stay in the lobby and wait.
A minute later, Lin Zhongtian appeared in the bar on the third basement floor.
Under the strict rules of the Continental Hotel, the Killer Bar is no different from the bars in the outside world, where every killer temporarily forgets who he or she is and enjoys a safe life without worry.
Men and women swayed and sweated on the dance floor to the sound of loud music.
At this moment, a hot blonde saw Lin Zhongtian who had just entered the bar, and her eyes immediately lit up, and she smiled and stepped forward to invite him to dance.
Lin Zhongtian politely refused, and then asked her if she knew Willen Lynch.
The blonde looked regretful and moved her gaze to the corner of the bar behind Lin Zhongtian.
Lin Zhongtian thanked him, turned around and walked to the corner of the bar, and sat down in front of the man with pale yellow glasses.
"You're Willen Lynch?"
"It's me, you want to ask me for news?"
“…… That's right. ”
"Don't be surprised, everyone who comes to me asks me for news."
With a smile on his face, Willen looked at the handsome young man in front of him with interest.
"Tell me, what do you want to know?"
"The whereabouts of Nicollaos Dunlap."
"Oh, it's him!"
Willen nodded, took out his mobile phone, and said casually while sending a message: "Young man, according to the rules, I shouldn't have said these things to you without you paying extra, but who made you look like my dead nephew?" ”
"For poor Riley's sake, I'm kind enough to warn you, that guy is a ruthless character who can't be messed with, and there's a huge mafia family standing behind him, and he can't be easily provoked-"
Before the words fell, Willen raised his eyebrows, and changed his words: "No, I found it, Mr. Dunlap booked a ticket for twelve o'clock last night, and now it is estimated that he has landed in New York." ”
As he spoke, Wei Lun turned his phone around and showed it to Lin Zhongtian.
Lin Zhongtian frowned: "New York, what is he doing in New York?" ”
Wei Lun put away his phone and shrugged his shoulders: "Who knows, maybe I want to get the 14 million bounty!" ”
