Chapter 52: Talking on the Mountaintop
As the "rich area" of Crescent City, An'an New Area is surrounded by mountains and lakes, and the environment is far more beautiful than ordinary urban areas.
Anyway, he was finally brought in, and Su Mo was not in a hurry to leave, he took off the nameplate of the border, pretended to be a local in the new district, and took KK around on a motorcycle.
Halfway through, Su Mo received a text message for money transfer.
O'Diana gave him 200,000 monthly coins, saying that it was an extra reward for the previous commission.
In fact, the reward for the commission has already been given, and letting Su Mo personally dispose of the black core of the 101 base is already a complete and full reward.
As for the 200,000 is really an extra reward?
Or do you think that the matter of wanting to kill KK in the end is not very pleasant, and I hope to make up for the relationship with money?
Or is it simply to appreciate Sumo's potential and win it over as soon as possible?
I don't know.
The rich woman gives money, don't give it in vain. Su Mo accepted it with confidence.
He bought a few bottles of beer at the 24-hour convenience store and drove KK to Baiyun Mountain in An'an New District, where he drove to the top of the mountain to watch the sunrise.
It's dawn and the air at the top of the mountain is fresh and sweet.
As far as the eye can see, the bottom of the mountain is full of villas or manors shrouded in trees, spreading far away to the pale sky in the east.
Su Mo got out of the car and stretched, and turned around to find that KK was still sitting in the car, looking like he couldn't step on it when he wanted to get out of the car.
Su Mo went over to help him down and asked in a mocking tone, "What's the matter, Master K, your legs are still weak?" β
KK squeezed out an embarrassed smile: "Big brother, don't tease me." Such a big strong man stepped on my body and pointed a gun at my head, and I didn't pee my pants on the spot, which is already a strong psychological quality. β
Su Mo joked, "What are you afraid of? If you think about it, didn't Ruben say that he would become the future king of the frontier? Then you are the man who killed the prospective king alone! This achievement is ranked first in the new Moon City, and the one called Broken Blade is a hair~"
At the mention of the shooting of Reuben, KK was a little scared: "What should I do in the future?" Can a fire really be hidden? Will Reuben's men come after me..."
Su Mo chuckled: "How can there be any of Reuben's men, don't you see them all, the Eagle Claw Society has been destroyed by razor." Okay, don't think about these things that you don't have, come on, drink a bottle of wine and suppress the shock. β
He handed KK a can of beer and opened a bottle of Gollum himself.
KK put the beer in the back of the motorcycle and waved his hand: "I don't drink anymore, I won't drink." β
Su Mo almost squirted after hearing this: "You grew up in the borderlands, and you are so skilled in bars, you don't know how to drink?" β
KK smiled awkwardly and touched the back of his head: "I can't afford to eat, where can I get the money to buy wine... Going to bars is all about stealing wallets. β
Su Mo encouraged: "Then take advantage of today's opportunity, you can try, you always have to try something different in life." β
KK shook his head: "No, no, if you get drunk, I have to take care of you, it's too troublesome for you." β
"You kid, why did you suddenly become so polite?" Su Mo looked at the brighter and brighter sky, and changed his words, "What are you going to do next?" β
KK lowered his eyes: "Continue to go back to the border to steal things, and live one day at a time." β
Su Mo couldn't help but wonder: "Others say that you are a little mouse, but you really think of yourself as a mouse?" β
KK said self-deprecatingly: "Otherwise, where else can I go like this?" No one wants to go to the construction site to move bricks. β
Sumer: "You can do things with me. β
"Huh?" KK was stunned and looked at Su Mo blankly.
Su Mo drank the beer down, kneaded the empty bottle, and said, "You should be able to tell that I am a mercenary, and the Countess lady I just met you is called Odiana, one of the most famous middlemen in Crescent City. β
"You come with me, and the two of us will work together for O'Diana. You have to know, how many people want to catch a ride with her, and you can directly take my ride, luckier than 99% of the mercenaries in Crescent City. β
KK refused without thinking about it: "No, no, no, I'm just a thief, except for stealing things, I don't have any other skills, how can I be a mercenary?" β
Su Mo: "Isn't it a skill to steal things?" Mercenaries are not specialized in fighting. β
KK smiled helplessly: "I'm at this level, don't say it, it's embarrassing." Didn't the Countess just say that there are at least fifty thieves in her address book, and they are much better than me. β
Su Mo smiled slightly: "Yes, there must be masters in this city who are better than you, and there are quite a few, but what I fancy is not stealing skills." β
"What I like is your qualities, qualities that are hard to find in a ghost place like Crescent Cityβsincerity, righteousness, and seriousness."
"My principle for choosing my companions is simple, it is important to be strong, but strength is not everything. This person also has to be trustworthy and comfortable for me to leave things to him. β
"It doesn't matter if you don't do it well, as long as you do it with all your efforts, it's rare. I'd rather give my back to someone who genuinely does things for me, even if that person is of average ability, and who has worked with a 'master' of unknown origin. β
KK hung his head and whispered, "Big brother, thank you very much for looking up at me... But I'm really not as good as you say, I actually have a lot of problems. β
"I know what level I have, it's just the kind of little rotten boy that can be seen everywhere on the border, I'm not qualified to partner with you, I really don't want to drag you down one day."
Su Mo shrugged: "Anyway, my invitation has already been sent, and it is your business whether to accept it or not, and I will not force you to join the gang." If you really don't want to do it with me, then I'll give you the reward I should give, and we can get together and disperse. β
He took out a bank card from his arms and put it next to KK's can of beer: "There are 300,000 monthly coins in this card, you should be able to live a good life with it, and we will still be friends when we meet in the future." β
KK was stunned: "3...300,000??? Don't scare me! I thought you could give me a few hundred monthly coins..."
Su Mo said in a brisk tone: "You're welcome, you helped me so much, you deserve it." Actually, I still think it's less, but I can't get it any more, so I can only make do with it for you first. β
KK's eyes wandered, and he kept glancing at the card, and his expression couldn't hide his longing: "Big brother, if I take the money and leave, you won't mind... I really don't think I'm capable, and following you will only hold me back. β
Su Mo said generously: "Don't be stressed. I said, you can choose which way to go, I won't force it. β
KK pursed his lips and hesitated for only a moment before reaching for the bank card.
"But." Suddenly, Su Mo spoke up.
KK's men subconsciously stopped.
Su Mo opened another can of beer, drank it slowly, and said meaningfully, "In my opinion, what you said is an excuse. β
"You don't think you're incompetent, or you're going to drag me down. You've just been depressed by your bleak life for too long, dazed, numb, and afraid to try. β
"After all, if there is a choice, who wants to be a little mouse?"
