Chapter 51: Returning Home
Updated: 2012-07-27
After Ben leaves, Zero walks back to Su's side with a few loot. Su is the same as Zero, looking at a few things that look like tatters, and I don't know why.
Zero told Su the approximate value of a few things, and then gave her the queen's shell and an eyeball.
"Why, you gave me these things to let me stay with you for a few nights?" Su looked at these two things, but didn't reach for them.
Zero could hear the teasing in her tone, shook her head, and said, "I don't use cold weapons, so this shell is useless to me." You're using a one-handed sword, so you should be able to reforge this shell and your longsword, and I think the sharpness and hardness will improve. As for this ......"
His gaze fell on his jewel-like eyes, and Zero said, "You can exchange it for some money, and then get some information or something." If you want revenge, you must at least know where the enemy is. ”
Su Zheng looked at Zero, and after a moment, she shook her head: "Are you really from this era? I've never seen a guy pushing money out." ”
She picked up the shell of the Spider Queen, but pushed her eyeballs back to Zero: "This is back to you, I have my own source of information, and I don't need to exchange this thing for money." ”
Zero nodded and closed his eyes. In this age of scarce resources, no one can be generous. Zero Ken gave nearly half of the income to Su, which was nothing more than seeing her own shadow in her. Since he didn't want it, he was happy to save the money.
Nothing was said all night.
As a person who specializes in martial arts, after a night of self-healing, the skin trauma on his body has basically healed. Zero's recovery is faster and better, and now Zero has basically healed, except for the hearing in his ear, which has not yet recovered.
The two left the university town, and Su went back to Remut first, while Zero went back to the processing plant to take Lala with him. I haven't seen her for two days, and Lala seems to have eaten a lot, and her already round body is now more round. As it lay on Zero's shoulder, Zero clearly felt that the little guy's weight had increased by about 10%.
Lara fell asleep on Zero's shoulder, and when she returned to Remut, Zero made her way back to the station.
Because it was still early, Leah was still sleeping when Zero got into the tent. The girl held the pillow and arched her body slightly, making an even breathing sound. She undoubtedly slept peacefully, but Zero noticed that the dark red patches on Leah's face had not gone away, but had extended towards her neck and pink shoulders.
Zero frowned, thinking that the examination of Leah was urgent.
He placed Lala next to the maiden, and gently left the tent.
At eight o'clock in the morning, when the union hall first opened, Zero was already waiting aside. Theon was undoubtedly a dedicated vice-chair, and when the hall opened, he arrived. When I saw Zero, I was slightly stunned, and then smiled to meet it.
"I'm glad to see you back safely. Theon spoke sincerely, patted Zero on the shoulder, and led him into the hall like an old friend.
Apparently Zero is not good at diplomacy, and he can't easily get acquainted with strangers like Theon. He deliberately distanced himself from the union president, and Theon looked in his eyes and smiled silently.
"Raff and Tyrannosaurus came back a day before you, but in terms of map completeness, there's no doubt that your map is relatively complete. This has helped us in our sweep of Lampez University, and everyone in Remutt appreciates your efforts. ”
In the office, Theon said.
"That's just my job. Now, let's settle the payout. Sorry, I still have something to attend to. "Zero, who is concerned about Leah, has no temperament to play official with Theon at all.
Theon was slightly disappointed, among the several mercenaries on this mission, Theon was the most fancy. Admittedly, Zero's abilities are not outstanding. But in Zero's body, Theon saw the style of a soldier. He liked Zero's style of doing things with less talk, and if Theon wanted Zero to stay, the young man would be his right and left hand.
Unfortunately, Zero doesn't seem to have any intention of staying in Remut. Theon was not reluctant, he called the secretary and asked Zero to follow the secretary to the information director in order to settle the income of Zero's task.
When Zero came out of the union hall, he had one less tactical watch and 1,800 dollars more in his pocket.
In this promotion mission, Zero's mapping was completed by two-thirds of the way, which allowed him to get eight hundred pieces. In terms of specimens, although he did not bring rock spiders, he provided relevant information about rock spiders, and even revealed information about lurkers. Remut was very fair, and the money for converting these two pieces of information into a ** specimen was settled to zero.
Naturally, Zero did not provide information about the Spider Queen. First, this boss-level monster has already been killed by him, and Remut doesn't need to know, and second, Zero can carry parts of the Spider Empress on his body, and the value of these things is far greater than Remut's mission reward, and Zero doesn't want to cause others to be jealous.
And the harvest of this mission, zero is far more than that. The first is to get Ben's love gun Colt, this modified sniper rifle has been tested by zero, and the maximum firing distance can reach two thousand meters, which means that within two kilometers, zero will exist like a grim reaper; In the effective time of the ability, Zero is able to make the consciousness about ten times faster than the body's reaction, so that it can better analyze various data to respond in a critical moment.
In addition to this, Zero also gains three additional evolution points. He was quite surprised by this, but after reading Ben's diary, Zero knew that the Spider Queen's danger assessment was level five, so he was relieved. After all, after fighting Hansna's monster, Zero only got one evolution point, and now it makes sense to skip the challenge and get three evolution points.
This is what is known as the greater the risk, the higher the reward.
Zero arrives in the commercial area and gives the Empress Scrap to an equipment processing shop to have it processed into a bulletproof vest. As for the two eyeballs, they were sold to the merchant of the gem shop, but the black merchant bought them at a price 20% lower than the market price, so Zero only got 8,000 yuan. The black merchant finally had a little conscience, and such a huge amount of money naturally could not be paid in coins, so he opened a credit card for Zero, and deposited the two eyeballs, the money and the nearly 10,000 yuan obtained from the zero task into Zero's bank account.
According to the black merchants, this credit card is qualified to pass in the Central Continent. Its issuing agency is said to be a mysterious and powerful organization, and more than eighty percent of the companies and bases on the mainland have to buy their accounts, so there is no question of whether it is accessible or not.
For this statement, Zero will be skeptical. At the moment, all he knows is the Parkland chaebol and Remut.
Unbeknownst to Zero, the skull on the credit card with a codex under it was the symbol of the "Dark Council".
After all of this was processed, Zero went to Dr. John's office. After the two of them set up a thorough examination for Leah tonight, Zero returned to the station.
It was noon, and only a few women and children lingered on the site. Teddy had just emerged from Leah's tent, still with a plate in his hand, presumably bringing lunch to Leah.
When he saw Zero, Teddy was delighted. He told Zero, thanks to Zero, that Ji'an had found a job. The place of work is the arsenal of Remut, and Ji'an is naturally not a jishu job, but a porter and other roles. But for these outsiders, the stable remuneration of this job is unimaginable to them before.
And the person who introduced them to the job was Theon, the vice president of the union.
Hearing this, Zero somewhat understood that Weishenme Teddy would say that it was thanks to him. No matter how stupid Zero is, he knows that Theon intends to recruit him, but unfortunately he is not here.
When Zero entered the tent, Leah was eating bread. It wasn't expired spoiled bread, it was freshly baked, freshly baked from the oven. Zero felt relieved and had a feeling of earning money to support his family. He's decided to work part-time as a monster hunter, and it looks like this meal is better than a mercenary.
"You're back!" Leah was tearing off a small slice of bread to feed Lala, but the little creature was only interested in all kinds of metals and lacked interest in human food. Seeing Zero return, Leah's attention immediately shifted from Lara. She put down her bread and took off her cloak like a well-behaved wife.
Leah was stunned when she saw the opening under the zero-torn coat, and then her eyes turned red. She had to cover her mouth with her hands to keep herself from crying.
Leah didn't expect that after just one mission, Zero would have so many scars on her body.
Zero gently took her into his arms and whispered, "I'm fine." ”
Leah turned to hug Zero tightly, did not speak, but silently conveyed her care for Zero to him through her slender arms.
Lala looked up and looked at the two of them strangely. Obviously, in the little guy's heart, he can't understand what the two humans are doing in front of him.
After a few moments, Zero said to Leah, "I've already booked you for a full check-up, and it's in the evening. ”
Leah nodded, then left Zero's chest. She looked up, her face flushed like a ripe cherry: "Then we still have some time." ”
"What?"
"What did you promise me when you went on a mission?" Leah said shyly, biting her lip.
Zero suddenly remembered that he seemed to have said something. Leah had already stood up, she zipped up her tent, and then faced Zero, taking off her clothes one by one, revealing her youthful body.
In the humble tent, Zero seemed to smell home.
