Chapter 39 Elite Forum
Chapter 39 Elite Forum (Part )
The first thing that caught my eye was a post titled "Anyone planning to visit the old industrial area?"
Clicking in, the poster's meaning is very simple: "The old industrial area has been closed for so many years. Does anyone plan to go in and take a look? Maybe we can get something good out of it."
There are quite a few replies below.
"Almost got it."
"If there's something really good, will the company dog keep it for you?"
"Will you pay for the protective equipment? I suspect that the place was never cleaned up. It's probably a Class I chemical accident now. Otherwise, why would it be sealed off?"
"Deduct 1 and I'm out."
"11111 Really?"
Song Shi glanced at it and paid no more attention.
[Need a driver, price negotiable, but the skills must be good]
[I'm offering a dose of "Heavy Rain Type II" neuro-stabilizing injection, a pure brand name product, is there anyone who wants it? I'll go through the locker channel]
[According to internal information, the Security Bureau is ready to use force to suppress the demonstration. Please do not go to Rota to join in the fun in the next few days.]
[Urgently in need of firepower, only strong men are needed, those with heavy prosthetic implants are preferred, we can provide weapons, there is a big job with low risk and high return, those who are interested come quickly]
[Any mechanics in the Deep Moss area that you would recommend? I have a problem with my mechanic and I need a major overhaul]
These are the most common posts.
"Middleman" and "personal work" are the common ways for mercenaries to take on tasks.
The advantages of the former are safety, stability, and good reputation. Employers and mercenaries communicate task requirements through intermediaries and have no contact throughout the process, so they basically won't encounter the operation of "silencing after the task is completed."
The disadvantage of doing so is that the middleman will charge a considerable handling fee, and there are also precedents of middlemen deliberately concealing information and harming mercenaries - of course, once exposed, the middleman will also be boycotted from all sides and face joint hunting by other middlemen.
But the premise is "exposure".
The death of a mercenary is not a big deal. You have to be mentally prepared for this if you work in this field, and the dead cannot talk.
As long as the matter is cleaned up neatly, no one will know the real cause of death of the mercenary - even if other people hear about it, they may sigh and say that the mercenary should practice more.
"Taking on work personally" is very simple, it just means what it says.
There are many forms, including but not limited to direct recruitment on the forum, private employer search, various wanted posters, etc. - the "Enlightener" employment that Song Shi accepted in his previous life was a kind of personal job.
Both have their pros and cons, but in the final analysis they are just different ways of doing things.
No one will always use only one, almost everyone does whatever job is available.
Song Shi browsed through it slowly.
He planned to find an intelligence dealer to get detailed intelligence on Kenge.
It's not that hard to find.
The essence of an intelligence dealer is an "information broker", which is just a profession. It is no nobler than mercenaries, company employees, gang members and the like - Song Shi has always believed that it is "people" rather than "professions" that are powerful.
It is certainly difficult for ordinary people to get in touch with intelligence dealers, but for people like Song Shi, they can meet them if they are a little more attentive.
——Intelligence dealers also need to do business. If they make the entry level extremely difficult and no one comes to them, they will not be able to survive.
Because their business is not just about "money", they will definitely provide the option of "paying debts with intelligence". The fewer people come, not only will he not make money, but the timely intelligence he will obtain will become increasingly blocked.
For an intelligence provider, lack of information means being abandoned by the market.
While Song Shi was observing, he suddenly saw a post.
[I saw a small business and just posted it here. You can pay attention to it if you are bored.]
Small business?
Song Shi clicked in.
The poster's tone was somewhat nonchalant: "I saw this in a homeless group yesterday. It's a job to find someone. The pay isn't much, but it's very simple - it all depends on who has the luck."
There are a lot of responses under the post.
"Hey, this guy doesn't look very old." "Who gave this job? Is there anyone who can claim it?"
"Oh, this, I saw it before, also in a homeless communication group."
"Wow, now I've got myself into trouble. Don't tell me, I actually know who sent it. I asked a wanderer, and he sent me the picture of the person who sent the task. I saw that it was Milton."
"Oh, right! Everyone, please remember that the 'Mr. Hat' in the picture is not Milton himself, but most likely an agent. If you really find someone, don't send it to him. Contact Milton directly - don't let this bastard agent make any money."
"But, who is Milton?"
"Add one, I've never heard of it."
"Wait a minute, I have some impression of this person. Is he the mercenary nicknamed "Bear Lizard"? I heard he is quite powerful."
"It's a bit funny. As long as you are a person, you have strength, right? A hundred such "powerful people" can die and appear in Plosser in one day."
"Oh, Milton. I think I've heard of this name before. I heard that he has a bad character and is a bastard."
"Wahahahaha, what's the point of being a mercenary if he's not a jerk, hahahaha."
The confrontation in the post is still going on.
But Song Shi no longer pays attention.
[“(Tucker Block Part-time Group (Group))”
"Mr. Hat: (Picture)"
"Mr. Hat: Brothers! There's a job! Find the place where this person appeared before, 70 credit points, take a picture of this person, 150 credit points. If you know where this person is now, I will give you 2,000 credit points! Be sure to send me a private message when you find him! The sooner the better!"]
Song Shi stared at the screenshots sent by the poster and slowly narrowed his eyes.
——Because the picture in the chat screenshot was a clear photo of himself.
".It's not the government or the company's wanted person, but through the homeless channel."
"Mercenary, "Balaenopsis", Milton"
Song Shi repeated slowly: "So that's it."
"That's right. Letting a 'volunteer' escape successfully, causing casualties and damage to facilities, is a serious negligence."
"In order to avoid being questioned and punished by the higher-ups, the institute's management, mostly Kenge and other senior executives, suppressed the matter."
"Heh, you didn't report it to the Security Bureau or the company, but chose to hire mercenaries in a private capacity to get me back?"
"No, the reason you want to find me is not just to lose face or cover up the accident."
Otherwise, just ignore it and pretend nothing happened.
Song Shi opened his right hand, and a flame ignited silently and went out in an instant.
——And the identity of a "psychic".
"There are surveillance videos. They are very clear about my "awakening" process, as well as my subsequent performance."
"The situation is actually better than expected." Song Shi felt a little subtle.
In order to leave at that time, I had no way to hide anything - my performance during the graduate school was definitely not that of an ordinary orphan from an orphanage, especially with my original resume.
Therefore, I have prepared myself mentally for the company to increase its attention and make great efforts to capture me as an "abnormal individual".
But Song Shi really didn't expect that the other party would suppress everything and choose to hire mercenaries privately.
Although most of the above are speculations drawn from this post, Song Shi reviewed and sorted them out again, and combined with past experience, he believes that this speculation is highly accurate.
Even if all the above are wrong inferences, just knowing that someone is looking for me through the wanderers is valuable enough!
".Mercenary, Milton."
Song Shi stared at the name, pondered for a while, and nodded.
He reached for the briefcase beside him, opened it, and began to count his equipment.
"Forget it, let's just get rid of you first."
