Chapter 374
374 gathering of the mission team
in an unremarkable fast food truck shop in the underground black market in shandu.
dave was in high spirits after hanging up the phone.
He’d waited for months and witnessed Link’s transformation from a slave to the king of the sand City.
With Link’s current status, it was almost impossible for Dave to get link to do anything. Even he himself had given up on the idea.
However, Link’s phone call had reignited his long-extinguished hope.
dave quickly closed the store, then went to his store’s warehouse to get a black box. He glanced around and realized that no one was paying attention to him. He quickly stuffed the black box into his backpack, zipped it up, and walked out of the warehouse area calmly. He left the underground black market with the crowd.
Walking out of the underground black market, Dave felt that the bright sun had driven away all the depression in his body, and his whole person was free from the depressing environment.
He drove the old car back to the iron gate repair shop at the edge of the slum.
Although it was a repair shop, ever since Dave moved the shop to the underground black market, the front of the shop was no longer open for business. It was only used for sleeping after coming back from work every day, as well as for experimental research.
he entered the shop and pulled down the curtain door.
The room was extremely messy, and everything was randomly piled up. Bottles and cans were scattered all over the floor, and some even had to tiptoe to pass through the corridor.
Dave opened the door of the cargo room at the corner of the stairs, and a flight of stairs leading underground appeared in front of him.
Dave was usually afraid of disturbing the residents and was also worried that his plan would be exposed, so the experiments were all carried out underground.
He walked down the stairs to the basement, and the sensor light lit up. On the holographic screen of the workbench were several mechanical equipment blueprints, and all kinds of tools and equipment were placed messily on the tabletop. in the corner of the room, there was a statue of a giant creature covered by a fur blanket. the lines of the statue could be vaguely seen.
Dave took off his backpack and was about to get to work, but the alarm on the table suddenly lit up red.
Then, a surveillance screen popped up on the hood Glass display. It showed three strangers sneaking around in front of his house.
Two of them kept looking around, and one of them bent over and tried to lock the door.
Dave had been doing business in the underground black market all year round. There were at least 800 people who passed by his shop every day, if not 1000. He had long developed a pair of sharp eyes. He could tell at a glance that these people were the assassins of The Platinum Hotel.
Dave’s mechanical glasses contracted back and forth, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes. He instantly understood the reason.
“You’re being monitored, right, Yingluo? since you dare to come to my door, don’t blame me for being merciless.”
dave quickly pulled down the fur blanket covering the giant statue, and a two-meter-tall mech appeared in front of him.
The mech was designed to carry a man in the middle. The metal surface was uneven and did not even have the most basic polishing. The welding points could be clearly seen at the places where each module was connected, and there were even places bound by tape. The design of the mech had no sense of beauty. It was like a deformed product of steel randomly pieced together from a garbage dump, and the whole body exuded an old and broken atmosphere.
Dave quickly pressed the mech’s buttons, and something like a motherboard popped out from the mech’s crotch.
Then, he quickly placed the five chips in his bag onto the motherboard.
Huala ~
The curtain Door outside was pried open, and the door was pulled up suddenly. The three killers rushed into the room at the first moment, raised their guns, and began to search for Dave’s whereabouts.
“He’s in the house, search quickly!”
“Don’t let him escape!”
Dave, who was in the basement, heard the three crisscrossing footsteps above his head. He glanced at the HUD projection screen, and through the surveillance in the room, he saw the busy figures of the three platinum Hotel assassins.
Dave immediately opened the safe, took out three battery balls from inside, and placed them in the three hemispherical grooves on the back of the mech.
“I didn’t find him!”
“I don’t have any here either!”
come to me, there’s a door that leads to the basement!
The killers outside were communicating unscrupulously, and they were sure that Dave was hiding in the basement.
a moment later, the door to the basement stairs was pulled open with a creak. the sound of old and sour teeth rubbing against each other traveled down the stairs into the basement, as if the god of death had descended.
Dave, don’t hide anymore. Surrender and come back with us, and you might still live.
“If you’re still trying to resist, we’ll have to bring your corpse back.”
The three killers carefully entered the stairs and slowly walked down with their guns raised.
Dave was not a weakling either. He was proficient in mechanical modification. The difficulty of this bounty mission issued by Platinum Hotel was not low.
“Link contacted you privately. As long as you explain the situation to Derek and are willing to tell him the secret between you and link, we promise not to hurt you.”
The three killers looked at the traces of the steps and were sure that Dave had escaped here.
However, their words were like clay oxen going into the sea, passing through the narrow stairs into the basement. There was only an empty echo, and no response.
dave ignored the killer. instead, he climbed up the ladder to the mech and sat in the ‘cockpit’ in the middle.
The mech started up, and the red energy from the three hemispheres of the back was transmitted through a conduit to the core hub of the mech under Dave’s butt, which was then transmitted to the four limbs and bones of the mech.
The sound of hydraulic pressure and oil transmission could be heard clearly. The joints ejected pressure steam and the transmission began.
The scavenger mech was officially activated!
The killer, who was slowly walking down the stairs, heard the strange sound and was even more certain that Dave was in the basement.
dave’s gaze was firm, and he only had the confidence to challenge after starting up his mech.
“I’m afraid that The Platinum Hotel has been monitoring me for a long time. Link just called me, and you guys came right after. The underground black market is really a good place. We agreed on a free trade, so why is it not effective here?”
The three killers looked at each other and decided to continue the conversation to distract Dave while communicating tactics with sign language.
“you can’t blame the hotel for this. Link is now on The Platinum Hotel’s most wanted list. As the person who had the closest contact with him in the underground black market, you will naturally be monitored. “now that we’ve confirmed the connection, derek has no choice but to take action and capture you for interrogation. If you cooperate and help The Platinum Hotel deal with link, you’ll have a share of the reward for the highest wanted order.”
“hehe, it’s hard for me to be tempted by the conditions offered by the platinum hotel ~”
Dave’s scavenger mech’s scanning function was activated. On the holographic screen, across the wall, the three people’s positions were locked.
The hot signal outlined the outline of the three people’s figures to perfection, and he also saw their sign language.
“What conditions do you want? you can tell us and we can contact manager Thomas immediately. As long as you can sit down and tell him the secret between you and link, I think Thomas will definitely agree to your conditions.”
“hehe, really?” Dave’s banter was strong.
The three of them put on special gas masks, and at the same time, one of them took out tear gas. He tried to distract Dave with words while preparing to subdue the other person by force.
It was a pity that Dave could see their movements on the stairs with his thermal imaging. They were naked and had no secrets.
In addition to mocking the other party’s conditions, he was also mocking their strategy of stalling for time.
“Then my condition is for Yingluo to take your lives!”
Dave’s voice had just fallen when the scavenger mech began to move.
Squeak-
At the same time, the killer’s tear gas was also thrown directly into the basement. With a bang, it exploded into a cloud of thick smoke. Then, the killer rushed into the basement, and a burst of fire filled the sky. What followed was the clanging sound of a dense barrage of bullets hitting metal.
The people in the residential building were doing all kinds of things, such as lying down, playing mahjong, and so on. They did not notice the fierce gunshots in the basement at all.
But a moment later, the residential building began to shake slightly.
The teacups beside the Mahjong table trembled, and the water level rose and fell. The aunties and uncles did not play their cards, but stared at them closely.
In the room, the ceiling light began to shake, and the shadows of men and women dancing wildly in the room also swayed. A moment later, the DJ stopped playing music, and the punk-like people in the living room also stopped moving. They looked up at the shaking ceiling light in a daze.
“T-earthquake?”
someone suddenly asked.
The next second, a mech broke through the wall on the first floor, threw off the three bodies hanging on its body, and ran South.
The people in the residential building were all leaning against the windows, staring at the handsome back of the scavenger mecha in shock.
Oh my God, there’s actually a mech hidden in our residential building!
……
At the same time, in Shen mu city.
Link was on his way to find the other members.
Other than Dave, who had escaped from the city and was familiar with its structure, link was ready to recruit more talents to complete this mission.
With such a good planet mission, Link’s first thought was to go to the players.
The main mission can only be completed once and can not be repeated. This was such a precious opportunity. If he didn’t bring a few players with him, he wouldn’t be able to get past himself.
These players with potential did not follow him to experience the top storyline on the planet, but instead fought guerilla warfare with the zealots and mercenaries on the front line. It was a waste of talent. The more they experienced today, the higher their growth potential would be in the future.
For the sake of the players, link had put in a lot of effort.
In the weapons and ammunition store in godwood city, the Wind Chaser, drifting, was leading the miracle Guild’s men to replenish their ammunition.
“we picked another bunker today. have you guys memorized the key points of the battle tactics? “next time, it won’t be just 10 people attacking a pillbox. you’ll have to try attacking in small teams of five. So, think about the key points.”
As wind was talking, the door of the weapon store suddenly opened. A man in a black suit and sunglasses walked in. He glanced around and his eyes focused on wind who was talking about the main points.
The man in sunglasses walked in front of wind and said, ” “president lin has something important to discuss with you. please get in the car.”
Wind recognized that the man was Link’s driver. Then he looked at the black luxury car outside the gate. It was indeed Link’s official car.
Wind’s heart skipped a beat. Link had something important to tell him. Was it a special mission?
Zhui Feng followed the driver and got into the car with a heart full of apprehension.
Link sat in the back seat with his legs crossed. He glanced at wind after he got into the car.
One month after the game’s open beta, Windchaser had reached level 19 and changed from pugilist to Qi martial artist, a profession that relied on internal Qi to strengthen the physical strength of the body.
President, you’re looking for me? ” wind looked nervous, excited, and nervous.
“it seems like you haven’t neglected your training,” said link, nodding in satisfaction. I have an important mission here, and I need you to sneak into the city with me. This mission is highly confidential and extremely dangerous. If you’re not willing, you can choose to reject it. ”
Lin Ke said and threw the mission text that he had already written to wind.
immediately, a b-level mission appeared on windchaser’s interface!
[ you have triggered the B-Rank Mission [ mechanical spy ], accept/decline ]
[ mission hint: link admires you and has invited you to secretly head to the base of the machinery faith, mech city. The mission is extremely dangerous and will be extremely difficult, but you will learn many Secrets of the Wasteland planet. ] Your main task is to protect link and the mysterious person, as well as to carry out the mission that link had given you along the way.
[ mission reward: 50000 experience points, Link’s favorability, reputation with Shenmu City, and a random blue quality reward. ]
After reading the details, wind was dumbfounded.
a b-rank mission, this was a mission difficulty that could not even be obtained from the military intelligence department!
Compared to the quest notification, the quest experience reward was not high. However, the NPC’s favorability was very powerful. The reason why wind Chaser and the miracle Guild had been so successful after the open beta was all because of the favorability they had earned when they joined the link gang. Now that they could get another favorability reward, it would determine the future development of themselves and the miracle Guild!
Not to mention that the quest also had prestige in The Mystic Wood City and a random blue grade reward.
Previously, bombing chicken was a Druid player, so he had no other advantage other than being a little higher-leveled among Druid players. However, after receiving the fantasy vine from link, they could fight alone and complete missions that many closed beta players could not. Many players were jealous.
This time, the random blue grade reward was very likely to get a blue grade pet!
Gulp ~
Zhui Feng was dazed for a while before finally recovering and swallowing his saliva.
“Since the president trusts me so much, I’ll definitely do my best!”
Link nodded, satisfied. you can’t tell anyone about this mission. That includes your close friends. If you do, not only will you lose your mission qualifications, but you will also lose your identity as an employee of Lin’s Financial Group. Do you understand?”
Wind-chasing Wolf’s heart skipped a beat. He had wanted to tell the other guild members about the details of the mission and analyze it together. But when he heard this, he immediately retreated and didn’t dare to say anything. At least not in the game!
“If there’s nothing else, you can go back and prepare. Tonight at midnight, we’ll gather at howling heights.”
after wind-chasing wolf got off the car, the black car didn’t stop, but drove straight to the next place.
The miracle Guild’s players, led by the king of dog leftovers, all bared their teeth and surrounded him. They asked curiously, ” “President, why did link call you? did i give you a special mission?”
Zhui Feng’s face turned into the color of pig liver,”Shh! I can’t say!”
P. S: [haha, you didn’t expect this, did you? Wanjun is starting to update again.] Firstly, it was because she was recommended, and secondly, everyone had been urging her for the past few days, saying that there were too few updates, so Wanjun started to pay for the additional updates for next month a few days in advance. So, recommendation votes, monthly votes, and tips, hurry up and throw them over ~
