Lu Ning took a rough look at the missions.
The website's level restrictions for tasks depend on the client. Lu Ning found that many tasks have certain level restrictions. It seems that the reason is that they are afraid of alerting the enemy. The client would rather find an experienced executor than let a rookie ruin a good thing.
However, most of the tasks that a zero-level newcomer like me can see are expensive.
For example, bringing some contraband into Sin City, including kidnapping or abducting someone from the outside world, or acting as a spy to steal secrets, or even appointing a female executor to seduce a certain person. The time and place are listed in such detail that it's hard to help but I wonder if this is another way to trick the executor.
Lu Ning specially looked for a few new posts on the executor side. It seems that some executors have indeed disappeared. I don't know whether they quit or were killed during the mission. The executors also warned when receiving tasks and executing them. You must pay attention to inquire. Anyway, there is no penalty for breach of contract here. At worst, it is better to give up than lose your life.
However, there is no more detailed content due to permission restrictions.
After careful consideration, Lu Ning selected two tasks with no special requirements, which required arson and serious injury to a certain target.
Since the mission lists this as mandatory, there must be some beneficial information released on it in the future. The "spoiler" mission publishing method in the distribution center always has hints and traps. Lu Ning has reason to believe that the "spoiler" mission behind this website is probably the one behind it. The Kingdom Council is up to something.
She stood up, took out a few bills from her wallet and stuffed them into her pockets, took her keys and prepared to go out to see what the city was really like.
The first goal is the shopping mall that can be seen from the apartment. The scenery along the way is not bad compared to most cities. There are wide lanes and sidewalks between high-rise buildings. Some buildings are being renovated and are close to the bustling city. On one side of the street are various restaurants, clothing stores and service shops, including young people standing at the intersection handing out leaflets.
Lu Ning walked downstairs, raised her head and looked up. The building is thirteen stories tall. Facing the street, there are several large screens playing advertisements. Higher up, there is a dark blue glass curtain wall. There are two rows of sightseeing elevators set up on the outside of the building. Go straight to the observation deck on the top of the building.
"This beauty, do you want to come to our place and try aerobics? A newly opened project is currently holding an event, and you can get a 50% discount on registration during the event!" Suddenly an enthusiastic voice came from the side. Lu Ning turned around and found that It was a boy holding a stack of flyers and wearing a "Longfu Fitness" peaked cap. He seemed to be a formal staff member of the gym.
"Do I need to exercise?" Lu Ning reached out to take a flyer and asked with a smile.
"Beautiful women must be in good health, but fitness is not just for temporary health. What's more, people now pay attention to maintaining their body shape. We have professional staff here to provide you with suggestions, so you don't have to study at home to have no effect." Boy. Seeing that Lu Ning seemed interested, he immediately began to introduce it nonstop, "The other one is moderation. Many people think that the harder you practice, the better. This is actually completely wrong. Fitness should be a reasonable way of maintaining health. , Our gym has always been very famous in this city, and this time it is because we have opened a new project that we will promote it more. It is a rare opportunity."
"Well, that sounds interesting. Is your gym right here?"
"That's right, the tenth floor. I can find someone to take you up now."
"OK."
Hearing Lu Ning agree so simply, the boy was stunned for a moment, then showed a happy expression, took out his mobile phone and made a call. Their work efficiency was quite good. Soon a slender woman came out of the building, said hello to the boy, turned to look at Lu Ning, and smiled: "Is this the one? Please follow me. Let me go upstairs together."
Of course Lu Ning agreed. The two walked into the shopping mall, got on the elevator inside, and soon reached the tenth floor.
"There are many training class offices here, but our courses will not be here - after all, there is no suitable practice room here. By the way, what is your name?"
"Lu Ning?"
"That sounds nice. My name is Jiang Shanluo, and I am an active athlete."
"athlete?"
Jiang Shanluo heard the question in Lu Ning's tone and replied with a smile: "Competitive gymnastics has turned into artistic gymnastics, but it is not very famous. I have to find something to do as I get older. In addition to making up moves for people, the people here The boss also promised me to take two aerobics classes and let me use the practice room here as I please. I have to stay active even when I’m old.”
"Are you old?" Lu Ning took a closer look at Jiang Shanluo's face and felt that she was about the same age as him.
"Don't you usually care about sports? The golden age for rhythmic gymnastics is around eighteen years old, and you are already old after twenty." Jiang Shanluo's smile was a little bitter, and then she stopped outside an office.
"Old Tan! I brought people here!"
"Okay, okay, I heard you, Miss Jiang." A man wearing camouflage short-sleeved shirts opened the door, and a warm smile immediately appeared on his face when he saw Lu Ning.
"My surname is Tan, and my name is Tan Xiao. I am the head of this fitness trainer. Hello!" Tan Xiao's voice was loud and full of energy, and he was not weak. Lu Ning could tell from Lu Ning's eyes that he was a real person. A talented and learned martial artist.
"Hello, I met your people downstairs..."
"Ah, I know! It's an aerobics class, right? It's led by this coach Jiang! Don't worry, the students we arrange in the same class are all female students, and the time slots are all on weekends, so they will definitely not delay your normal work Study!" Tan Xiao said hurriedly.
"Old Tan, you make it sound like no one is in my class." Jiang Shanluo smiled and flattered him.
"Hehe, I'm sorry, the customer is God, we have to give people a satisfactory service, right?" Tan Xiao pulled a chair over, enthusiastically asked Lu Ning to sit down, and sat by the window, then asked, "Then what questions does this girl have? Don't worry, I will definitely answer them for you!"
"That...fee..."
"50% off, I won't lie to you. I have flyers for other fitness courses and other fitness clubs here. You can compare them horizontally and vertically!" Tan Xiao immediately took out a stack of colorful flyers from the drawer.
"...Can you stop being so embarrassed? Did you really go to the street to collect flyers from other companies?" Jiang Shanluo couldn't bear to look at her.
"This is called legitimate business prying! The flyers are right there, who can't pick them up?"
"I actually picked it up..." Jiang Shanluo covered his face.
Tan Xiao looked a little embarrassed and quickly said to Lu Ning: "Don't worry, they are all clean. If you are worried, I can show it to you..."
"I know." Lu Ning was a little amused by Tan Xiao's fussy look, but she still managed to maintain her expression. She glanced at the pictures above and knew that what Tan Xiao said was true. This was not something she had to ask for proof.
"Since I want to sign up for this class, it's also because... I don't feel safe here." After Lu Ning asked a few questions, he started to cut into his own topic, "I think fitness can at least make me feel that I won't die inexplicably."
"Huh? Have you had any trouble recently?" Tan Xiao suddenly became serious.
"I'm just uneasy. After all, you know this city."
"That's true. There are no police and no laws. Although there is still basic stability, a little girl like you is likely to become the target of those people at some point. Where are your parents?" Jiang Shanluo asked with concern.
"not around."
"My family isn't here?"
"If you were here, you wouldn't have asked me to come here. But I still have some self-defense, but now I'm just...too insecure."
"That's it, but the most we can do here is provide some protection in the classroom. After all, we are not a bodyguard company..." Tan Xiao frowned, leaned forward slightly, and lowered his voice a lot, "You can When you are about to leave, go upstairs, yes, the eleventh floor. There is an electronic equipment store without a sign. You can buy monitors, bugs and the like, and they are easy to install. In addition, if you want to buy something for self-defense The guy, tell the boss directly that he is in this business."
"That was really helpful, thank you very much."
"We don't want to lose customers either, haha, let me find out... This is an agreement, a total of two months, eight weeks of courses, you see if it is reasonable, if you agree, we will sign the contract and pay the deposit!" Tan Xiao immediately He regained his businessman attitude, and Lu Ning readily signed the contract.
After Lu Ning left, the room became quiet.
"Basically confirmed?" Tan Xiao's cheerful and awkward look was gone at this moment. He leaned on his leather chair and took out a cup of protein powder from the drawer.
"Pretty much, she's new here, has no friends, and feels unfamiliar here... These are in line with the characteristics of the distribution center's identity arrangement for the crows, and she has no intention of pretending." Jiang Shanluo leaned against the wall, stretched out his hand and squeezed the muscles on his thighs, revealing With a slightly disgusted look, "I thought I would never have to think about this."
"You have to adapt. Besides, it's not rhythmic gymnastics itself that you hate, right? Otherwise, you wouldn't be so active in treating clients. What about Lu Ning? Is there any possibility of joining forces? This time it's not a confrontation, it's just a secret one. Scene." Tan Xiao asked.
"better not."
"Why?"
Jiang Shanluo glanced at his hands and exhaled slowly.
"Before we find out our identities, there is a great risk in joining forces with strangers. Since the information on this distribution center does not give us a particularly detailed past, it means that there are also traps, at least for me. Auxiliary body..."
"how?"
"I've used drugs, huh, no wonder I'm in this city." A trace of disdain flashed across Jiang Shanluo's face, "First figure out your own background before considering others. Isn't my brother also in this scene? You can contact me when you have time. He then asked Wei Wenyang to hack several files to find our case record."
"Understood, are you staying here on duty now or..."
"Stay here. I'll put a tracker on Lu Ning. She will be our eyes and ears to investigate the city, and I will be responsible for monitoring."
=====================
Lu Ning took the elevator upstairs. After getting out of the elevator, she did not go to the electronic equipment store first. Instead, she walked into the bathroom and took out a black sticky ball the size of a peppercorn from under her collar at the back of her neck.
She turned the ball around with her fingertips to make sure it didn't look like a lens, then she safely pulled off a piece of toilet paper, wrapped the ball and put it in her pocket.
If this thing comes from that equipment store, it would be really exciting. If she hadn't noticed some of Jiang Shanluo's little moves, she probably wouldn't have discovered that there was such a small thing stuck behind her.
There is still one question left, and that is, are Tan Xiao and Jiang Shanluo "surveillance" personnel in the scene, or "tourists" who are also trying to investigate?
Not in a hurry to verify this question, Lu Ning walked out of the toilet and walked around this floor, and soon discovered the store without a sign.
"Boss, do you have any camera monitors here?"
Lu Ning walked into the store and immediately saw a person lying on a recliner with a book covering his head. After she asked this question, the person on the recliner did not move, but weakly raised his arms to point. Refers to a shelf.
"Thanks."
Lu Ning walked to the shelf and her eyes suddenly lit up.
This row of shelves includes various types of equipment such as surveillance cameras, eavesdropping, and tracking. Even high-end ones have self-destruction functions and composite device sets. They range from ordinary models for office buildings to miniature spy-type ones. Of course, the price Not cheap.
The granular ones I found on my body are also available here. It comes with adhesive and has tracking and eavesdropping functions. It can also self-destruct and can be set manually or automatically, which is very convenient.
"Boss, I heard that you can also buy self-defense items here?" Lu Ning returned to the boss holding a few boxes. Upon hearing this, the boss lifted the book from his face and sat up from the recliner.
He has very distinctive gray hair, and his expression is a bit decadent, but his face is very clean, and his slightly mixed-race appearance is in line with the handsomeness in the eyes of the public, and some people cannot tell his age.
"what do you want to buy?"
"Poison, explosives, daggers, guns or crossbows are also fine."
The boss rolled his eyes and lay down again.
"How about you first tell me what you can sell me?"
"Let's not talk about whether I have it or not. Are you preparing to get robbed by bringing so many things home? Arms are a popular thing here. Even if you can get it, it will be reserved by others."
"What about cold weapons? There are always things like knives, right? Chemicals? There are also flash bombs and the like..."
"I've convinced you..."
The boss looked at the box in Lu Ning's hand and confirmed to her: "First of all, do you want to buy what you are holding?"
"Of course I bought it after I brought it over."
"Just buy it, wait a minute."
He slowly got up from the couch, pulled on his shoes and walked to a door at the back of the store, opened it and went in.
After a while, the boss came back holding a large cardboard box and placed the cardboard box on the ground.
"Here, it suits you."
Lu Ning knelt down and started to look through the things in the carton. As the boss said, there are no extremely harmful weapons here. Most of them are strong light flashlights, pepper spray, etc. The projectiles are also flash bombs and smoke bombs. One of the most damaging things is the electric shock device.
"It's enough to live here with these. If you get something you can't play with, you'll be robbed. By the way, that wooden box is the cold weapon you want. If you can't sell it, I'll give you a 10% discount if you like it."
