Chapter 172: Sleeping with Dong
(3-in-1 Grand Chapter)
This month, in addition to taking the F1 driver's license, Su Mo followed up the decoration and construction of the edge building, and the expansion of the mercenary group was also carried out simultaneously.
There is an unwritten notion in the mercenary world - it is better to be infamous than to be obscure.
The mercenary is not most afraid of a bad reputation.
Even if your reputation is so bad, as long as you know a few middlemen, you will definitely receive the dirty work suitable for a rotten person like you.
What mercenaries fear most is that they are not famous.
Being unfamous means that no one knows you, no one knows about your existence, and you are not qualified to connect dirty work.
Su Mo's original fame was pitiful, but he only got acquainted with Odiana and Dress, two middlemen, so that he could often receive high-quality commissions.
But with this level alone, it is impossible to attract other excellent mercenaries to join the gang.
Crescent City is the "capital of mercenaries", there are so many mercenary groups in the city, and the famous ones are a lot of them, who will be full of small mercenary groups that have never heard of such a name as they have never heard of the edge.
But after the hostage incident in Xinghai Theater, everything was different.
Su Mo's act of killing Muto Dongying's family spread to the world through live media broadcasts.
Whether the move was criticized by moralists or applauded by the public, he has become a hot topic in recent times.
And to be honest, the vast majority of people are ordinary people, they don't have so many moral cleanliness, and they usually like to watch the plot of countering violence with violence.
A "chainsaw maniac" performs a big sawing of living people in public, and the sawing is still a group of scum who are not sorry to die, which is not underestimated when made into a movie, let alone happened in reality.
In this way, Su Mo, the marginal mercenary group, these two words set off a frenzy on the Internet, and the discussion remained hot.
Coupled with the fact that Odiana and Dresser were interviewed by the media at the right time and spoke highly of Sumer, he immediately became a celebrity in the mercenary world of Crescent City.
Being famous means that the most important thing for mercenaries is there, and the rest is a matter of course.
Previously, when the Edge Building was not yet completed, and Su Mo was still living in a small dilapidated house in the Rusty Walls District, he would receive hundreds of emails every day.
Some of them are resumes submitted by mercenaries from all walks of life, and they want to join the edge to work with Su Mo.
There are also letters of introduction from intermediaries, hoping to get to know Su Mo and cooperate with each other.
There were even mercenaries who inquired about Su Mo's residence, visited him with gifts, and begged him to take him into the edge, and if he didn't accept it, he would sit on the ground and not leave, which made him very embarrassed.
In just one month, Su Mo received tens of thousands of mercenary resumes, including mercenaries who came from other cities thousands of miles away.
When it comes to the selection of members, Su Mo is very cautious.
Because of its fame, it also means that it will be targeted by various forces.
And not all of these forces are friendly.
He saved the hostages in the Xinghai Theater, and he also thwarted the great cause of the crow's nest in disguise, and the crow's nest must hate him to the bone.
I'm afraid that other border groups will not have a good attitude towards him.
After all, if Operation Crow's Nest were successful and the frontier became completely independent, the violent groups would have reaped countless benefits, which are now gone.
So it's certain that there must be hostile forces in these resumes, who want to play chess pieces on the edge as soon as possible, and dismantle them from within when the time comes.
In response to this, Summer was very strict about the selection of resumes and asked for the assistance of O'Diana and Dress.
Mercenaries of unknown origin, especially those who have never heard of O'Diana and Dress, will not be considered, no matter how beautifully their resumes are written.
O'Diana and Dresser have been in contact, but they are not particularly familiar, or if something goes wrong, they are basically brushed off.
Only those mercenaries who are highly praised by the two intermediaries, or who Su Mo has seen and determined to be very reliable in the original plot, will be accepted into the fringe by him.
Of course, there is no reason to prevent thieves for a thousand days in this world.
Even the intelligence department as powerful as the Big Three is often infiltrated internally, and it is impossible for the periphery to remain pure forever.
If it affects development for the sake of thieves, it is a bit of putting the cart before the horse.
It's just that this first batch of accepted members will most likely be the marginal core in the future, and they must be carefully selected.
When the scale of the edge increases, the selection criteria can be appropriately lowered.
Now of these tens of thousands of resumes, Su Mo has truly achieved "one in a hundred", and only 167 people are finally accepted into the margins.
These include administrative clerks in charge of day-to-day affairs, financial accountants, and academics who assist in future research, and a total of 42 support staff.
The remaining 125 are all combatants, ranging from veterans who have been in the industry for many years to rookies who have become famous in recent years like Su Mo.
In the future, the various intermediaries will issue commissions, and they can be handed over to these mercenaries to execute, and Su Mo will save a lot of time to focus on other things.
The first batch of personnel was finalized, and the edge finally had a solid foundation.
On Nov. 11, the day after the Edge Tower was completed, Sommer threw a big party at the bar in the entertainment area on the 80th floor, bringing in O'Diana, Dress, Schenkov, Heywood, and other people who had cared for him.
Laser lights flicker in the bar, casting a constant stream of colourful light and shadow, and a DJ on the bandstand controls the rhythm of the music and guides people to jump and party.
The fringe mercenaries, dressed in fashionable costumes, danced on the dance floor, blending in with the music, drinking and toasting, laughing and cheering, and the atmosphere was warm and cheerful.
Sumo sat at the bar, holding a cocktail made by the bartender, chatting with Schenkov and others, and Dresser showed his racial talent from time to time, performing a difficult rap for everyone, which attracted a round of applause.
Everyone unleashed their inner passion, immersed in music and joy, and enjoyed the carnival night to the fullest.
After three rounds of drinking, the two middlemen were busy, Heywood was going back to take his grandson, and Schenkov also had business to deal with, so they all took their leave.
After the outsiders left, the party entered the second half.
Dongdong is a typical little club cow, standing on the most high-profile stage and jumping with the DJ.
She picked up the microphone and deliberately dragged her voice very long: "Brothers! I propose that everybody give us a toast! ”
"Captain Su! Cheers! Everyone raised their glasses and shouted in unison to Su Mo.
Su Mo waved generously, picked up his wine glass and drank it down.
"Oh, chief, how to patronize and drink. You're the head of the regiment, come up and tell us a few words! Knock Dong ran over and grabbed Su Mo's arm and brought him to the stage.
Su Mo is an I-person, but he is not as social as Dongdong.
He stood on the stage and faced the gaze of so many people, and smiled a little embarrassedly: "I, what am I talking about?" ”
Dong Dong poked his waist: "You are the leader, why are you asking me?" Just casually talk about your mental journey, testimonials, thoughts, and whatever you want. ”
Su Mo straightened out his thoughts, and said slowly: "I won't talk about the mental journey or testimonials or anything, we don't play formalism on the edge, and I guess everyone doesn't like to listen to others." ”
"Everyone is here today, and the guests have just returned home, so let's take this opportunity to talk about the inside topic."
"Regarding the rules of the edge, I have asked KK to organize a manual, and the big and small matters are on it, so you can go back and read it slowly."
Someone raised his hand and asked, "Commander, I've finished reading it." I read that the manual is full of detailed rules for rewards and punishments, and I think, can we add some content about the sense of honor of the team? ”
Su Mo smiled: "The sense of team honor is usually made by working together, not written. ”
"Ever heard that? With a monthly salary of 3,000, I have to go home on time after work. With a monthly salary of 30,000, the company is my home. ”
"Everyone is a mercenary for money. Instead of writing ten or twenty pages of high-sounding words in the manual, I should lead the team to develop well and give you a little more bonus when the time comes. ”
The mercenaries burst out laughing, cheering and applauding Su Mo, who was so unpretentious.
Su Mo coughed lightly, his expression became serious, and he raised two fingers: "When it comes to the group rules, I have two points that need to be emphasized, please keep them in mind." ”
"First, always remember that I am behind you."
"No matter what troubles you usually encounter, whether it's entrustment or life, if you can't solve it yourself, come to me. If I can't solve it, I'll try my best to find someone to solve it. ”
"Anything that may endanger you or endanger the edges, no matter who is involved, no matter how serious, never hide it from me, be sure to let me know as soon as possible, I will do my best to help."
"I don't want to see the kind of stupid bird plot in the movie around me - the people below have an accident, and I don't want the head of the regiment to worry, so I deliberately cover it and don't say it, and I can't hold it before I shake it out. Absolutely not. ”
The crowd shouted in unison, "Understood! ”
Su Mo nodded, and his voice sank: "Second, and the most important principle, never be a traitor. ”
"You are all my own people in my heart, not friends with wine and meat. I will provide you with the best material conditions, and I will also have higher requirements, and any betrayal will not be tolerated. ”
"If you feel that the edge is not good enough, your talents cannot be used, or there is a place that gives you higher treatment, and you plan to leave the edge to find another job, you can tell me openly."
"I will negotiate with you as soon as possible, if the negotiation fails, I will hold a beautiful parting banquet for you, everyone will get together and disperse, and we will be good friends when we meet in the future."
"If you have to betray the edge for some reason, such as the kidnapping of family and friends, or the threat to your own life, you must also tell me immediately, and I will do my best to think of a countermeasure for you."
"You have to firmly believe in one thing - it is always the regimental commander and these companions around you who can help you get out of the crisis, not the enemy who threatens you."
"So, no matter what the reason, don't stab me in the back, otherwise whether you are intentional or forced to do so, I will not hesitate to initiate a liquidation."
Although these words diluted the cheerful atmosphere of the party, they were deeply rooted in the hearts of every marginal mercenary.
Everyone nodded in unison, looking at the honest head of the regiment with sincere eyes.
Later, I don't know who took the lead, and the warm applause rang out again, filling the entire bar.
Looking at those fringe mercenaries who applauded, Su Mo knew that from this moment on, he had a greater help and a greater responsibility.
After the speech, everyone continued to drink and jump, and they couldn't stop being high.
Su Mo's amount of alcohol was already average, and so many members of the group came to toast, and they poured it after drinking.
In the second half of the night, Su Mo, who had drunk fragments on his back, came to the 88th floor, and complained: "I took it, every time I get drunk, I am the one who is wronged."
"Eh, where's the chief's room?"
She had just moved into the Edge Building, and she was not familiar with the place, so she forgot Su Mo's house number for a while.
She patted Su Mo's face: "Hey! Wake up! Where do you live? ”
Sumer: "Aba Aba."
"I'm convinced." The white of Dongdong's eyes was about to roll to the back of his head, "Forget it, go to sleep with me." ”
Knock Knock took him back to his room.
Su Mo was in a daze when he entered the room, and when he saw the bed, he leaned on it.
"Eh, I'll go!" Dongdong was squeezed out of balance and fell on the bed with Sumo.
There are no lights in the room, only the lights outside the floor-to-ceiling windows shine in, making the room look soft and hazy.
Dongdong looked at Su Mo's sleeping side face, and gently poked his face with his finger, revealing a sweet smile.
She was like a well-behaved kitten, squeezing into Su Mo's arms and curling up in his arms, sleeping quietly with him.
Su Mo's breathing was light and even, and the faint smell of wine exuded a different kind of euphoria.
Dongdong closed his eyes happily, gently hugged his waist, rested his head on his shoulder, and felt the warm body temperature on his body, the black cat's tail couldn't be hidden, and it shook around behind his back.
In this bedroom where the two of them are alone, time seems to have frozen, and only the light of the sun and the clear moonlight sprinkle around, quiet and serene.
At this time, Su Mo turned over, his hand happened to fall on Dongdong's heart, and he rubbed it unconsciously.
"Hmm" Knock Knock trembled like an electric shock, and his face was as red as a ripe apple.
Su Momeng murmured, "Knock knock."
Dongdong's eyes reflected like water and moonlight: "Huh? ”
Falling asleep, Su Mo was cold again: "Sleeping on your stomach is not good for your health."
Dong Dong was stunned there, his little face turned from red to red, he was angry with the color of pig liver, his fists were directly hard, and the green tendons on his head burst out.
She grabbed Su Mo by the collar and dragged him out of bed and out the door.
"Sleep on the floor!" She kicked Su Mo away and closed the door angrily.
The next morning, Su Mo woke up in a daze and found himself lying in the hallway and sleeping all night.
KK next door happened to go out, and he was stunned when he saw Su Mo: "Big brother, why are you sleeping in the corridor?" ”
Su Mo sat up and wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth, looking confused: "I don't know, I drank the fragment yesterday, and I don't remember what happened later." ”
KK looked strange: "I saw that Dongdong sent you back, didn't she send you back to the room?" ”
At this time, the door behind Su Mo opened, and Dong Dong looked at him with resentment and indignation for some reason.
Su Mo touched the back of his head and asked, "Dongdong, why didn't you send me back to the room yesterday?" ”
"I'll kick you to death!!" Dong Dong kicked Su Mo down without saying a word, and scolded while stepping on it, "Let you say that I sleep on my stomach!" Let me say sleep on your stomach! ”
After stepping on a few feet to vent his anger, the red color stained his cheeks again, and he rushed downstairs to have breakfast in a rage.
Su Mo fell to the ground with a blue nose and swollen face, covering his head in confusion: "Can anyone tell me what's wrong."
KK shrugged: "Woman, I don't understand. ”
Su Mo went back to his room to take a shower, changed out of his clothes full of alcohol, and went downstairs for breakfast.
The mercenary industry is not like going to work, there is no fixed working time, there is a commission, and there is no commission, which also leads to different mercenaries with different schedules.
Su Mo hoped that the people in the group could have a hot meal at any time, so he specially found three groups of chefs to work in three shifts, and the restaurant was open 24 hours a day.
It's 9 o'clock in the morning, and the restaurant is very lively, full of yawning mercenaries, and it seems that everyone had a good time yesterday.
The chef of the restaurant made a variety of breakfast styles, and Su Mo chose his favorite breakfast standard before crossing - soy milk fritters xiaolongbao.
He saw Dongdong sitting alone in the corner munching on bread, and cautiously leaned over: "Dongdong."
Dongdong glared at him, his eyes were fierce, and the hairs on his tail exploded.
Su Mo really didn't know where to offend Dong Dong, and he didn't dare to ask, so he could only smile: "Then I'll go." ”
Dong Dong didn't speak, just snorted and moved a place for Su Mo.
Su Mo smiled knowingly, sat down next to Dongdong, and enjoyed breakfast with her.
After eating, Su Mo was lying on the sofa in the activity room and swiping his mobile phone, he opened the mailbox and saw that there were more than a dozen commissions in it.
Since the hostage incident in Xinghai Cinema, in addition to receiving all kinds of material support, his network has also expanded rapidly.
Most of the intermediaries in Crescent City rushed to exchange contact information with him, and they all wanted to cooperate as soon as possible, including many well-known intermediaries like O'Diana and Dress.
There are many middlemen, and the number of commissions is naturally growing exponentially.
In the past, it would take days or even a week or two to receive a commission, but now more than a dozen come in one night.
The entrustment in the mailbox was accompanied by a description of the situation, and Su Mo found that the quality was very good, and the total remuneration added up to more than four million.
He brought in a group of mercenaries and gave them the commission.
These mercenaries were all experienced veterans, and Su Mo felt that he didn't need to worry about it, but just told them to contact them at any time if there was any situation.
Dongdong leaned against the wall to blow bubble gum, bored: "Boss, is there anything entrusted to me?" ”
These commissions at hand are all "fine work", which is not suitable for people like Dongdong who do not accept it, Su Mo shook his head: "Not for the time being, I will call you if there is a suitable one." ”
At this moment, a tall figure walked in from outside the door.
This is an extremely handsome blonde guy with three-dimensional and deep facial features, just like a character who came out of a youthful romance, and even his name is very similar to the male protagonist of romance - Chu Nanyi.
Chu Nanyi is an NPC in the game "Dawn", there are not many plots, but the character design is very interesting.
This is a typical rich playboy, wearing a famous watch and driving a luxury car, a VIP customer in the major nightclubs of Crescent City, a girlfriend who changes every month, and has had scandals with many well-known Internet celebrities and even first- and second-tier female stars.
The reason why Chu Nanyi became a mercenary was very simple and rude - he had nothing to do when he was full.
He felt bored drinking and picking up girls all day long, and wanted to have some fun, so he implanted a combat prosthesis last year and became a mercenary.
In the plot of the original work, his style of doing things is exaggerated but reliable, and he usually likes to work on the whole thing in the commission, but the results are often good.
He also has a good prosthetic tolerance, although it is not as good as the infinite tolerance of Dongdong, but it is also much higher than the average.
It is worth mentioning that Chu Nanyi's prosthetic component style is completely opposite to Dongdong.
Dongdong's "Xuanmao-type prosthesis" is an out-and-out melee prosthesis, which violently improves various athletic abilities, highlighting the fact that one will do it if he is not satisfied.
The prosthetic model of Chu Nanyi is called "Silver Ring", which is named after a poisonous snake, and most of the components are level 2 and level 3.
The silver ring prosthetic does not focus on motor ability, but mainly improves the static and dynamic vision and sensory acuity of the implanter, can quickly detect the battlefield terrain, and use the prosthetic eye to directly measure air flow, wind pressure, thermal radiation and other data to complete accurate shooting.
The implanted weapons on Chu Nanyi's body are all long-range types, and they are very hidden, which is difficult for ordinary people to detect, and Lao Yinbi's combat style is also completely different from Dong Dong.
The enemy and Dong Dong fought to the death, and finally knew where they lost.
Fighting with Chu Nanyi, I don't know how I died.
Chu Nanyi walked into the door with his hands in his pockets, and flicked his tongue at Su Mo: "I'm sorry, head of the group, I had a dinner last night, I didn't catch the party, I have time to call everyone to go to the Crown nightclub together, I'll make up for you." ”
As he spoke, he saw the knock in the room, and his eyes showed consternation, and then turned into a deep longing.
As a nightclub café, he has seen too many women, but there are basically bewitching women in nightclubs, and there are really few real Lori like Dongdong, who are immature flowers.
Dongdong is short, but the body is well proportioned, and his slender legs wrapped in white stockings are crossed together, and he chews bubblegum with his back against the wall, and the sun shines on his long pink hair, bringing a youthful atmosphere.
As soon as Su Mo saw Chu Nanyi's eyes, he knew that he had moved his brain, so he quickly coughed lightly and kept winking at him.
What Su Mo wants to express is that the powderier the hair, the harder the beating, don't tease her.
Chu Nanyi understood it - Shang, Chu Shao, I will be your wingman.
Chu Nanyi stirred his bangs, casually pulled out the lilies in the vase on the table, and walked to Dongdong very coquettishly, looking like a prince in a fairy tale.
"You are more beautiful than the flowers in my hand, this lovely girl, and I cannot think of any words to describe your face. If I have time tonight, can I invite you to dinner? ”
"We can enjoy a meal in the VIP box of the Black Pearl restaurant, take my float car overlooking the night view after eating, then have a drink or two at my bar, and finally go to my villa for a wonderful time"
"Boom!" Before Chu Nanyi finished speaking, Dong Dong kicked between his legs.
Chu Nanyi let out a painful rooster crow, covered little Chu Nanyi and fell to the ground, laughing more ugly than crying: "Little sister, can you be lighter next time, I'm not married yet."
Dong Dong raised his foot and stepped on his face, and said proudly: "What sister, who is your sister?" Remember, my name is Knock Knock, the knock of the bat. ”
"I came two months before you, and I was one of the first three founding fathers to follow the leader, and I was older than you in terms of seniority, and I will shout Sister Dong when I see you in the future, do you hear?"
Chu Nanyi was painful and happy: "I heard, I heard it, Sister Dong, do you want to date me at night?" ”
"I'm asking you to *the edge of civilization*!" Knock Knock kicked him out of the door like a ball.
When Dong Dong kicked Chu Nanyi away, KK trotted in all the way and said anxiously: "Big brother, it's not good, someone is making trouble at the door!" ”
