Capture the flag is over.
But the impact and popularity of Capture the Flag has just begun.
And all the topics can’t get around those three words——
mechanic!
After Lin Jie's last attempt to grab the battery and capture the flag with a human missile, Lin Jie's amazing operation of dismantling the mecha from the cabin once again detonated the dark web and major mecha forums.
Even though the official website of Carl Star State immediately banned the spread of Lin Jie's 'anti-humanity' operations, it still failed to stop people's enthusiasm, and all kinds of sexy operations emerged in endlessly.
Something like making an unrelated title and then putting Lin Jie's combat video in it, or putting Lin Jie's combat video in the middle of another long video, or simply making it into animation or AI commentary, in short , all kinds of videos emerge in endlessly, and they are repeatedly banned.
For a while, the news about the tax policy reform of Karl Star was suppressed.
Under this kind of heat, countless unscrupulous media and people with no lower limits have also emerged.
They posted videos and posts one after another, openly and covertly stating that they had a relationship with the mechanic and that they knew the identity of the mechanic.
Some people say that they are Lin Jie's classmates, some say that they are Lin Jie's elders, and even those third-tier actresses who want to be famous and want to be famous all jump out and say that they are Lin Jie's fiancée or girlfriend. , in order to prove this point, they made up a series of stories from acquaintance to mutual understanding to the details of life.
The most awesome ones were the brave ones who even made up sex scenes. When being interviewed, they looked intoxicated, nostalgic, and tamed, which made people unable to help but open the browser just by looking at them.
Of course, Lin Jie didn't know this.
While these public opinions were fermenting, Lin Jie had already left the Death Star with Simon and Curly Hair, taking what little he had with him.
…
"Uncle, have a taste. This is a famous wine I bought at an auction a few days ago in order to welcome you out of prison. It cost more than 700,000 cal coins..."
On a spacecraft tens of millions of kilometers away from the Death Star.
In the cabin.
Kainuo, Simon, and Lin Jie were sitting around a desk. Kainuo was still wearing a very decent shirt and vest with a bow on his collar. He was pouring wine for Lin Jie and Simon. You can tell it's fake, but it's still a very comfortable smile.
According to Kainuo, this is a small-scale celebration. After returning to the territory of the Lille family, there will be a larger celebration banquet waiting.
Originally, Kainuo also invited Curly Hair to join him, but Curly Hair felt that his identity was not enough and did not disturb the conversation of the three 'big guys'. At this time, he was enjoying the happiness of freedom in other rooms.
"Do you think a glass of wine can stop me from beating you..."
Simon picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp, looking at his nephew with a straight face.
Lin Jie's initial guess was correct. Simon's strength was very strong and must have exceeded A level.
Now that he was free again, without the electronic collar that suppressed his power, he looked like a giant cosmic beast, sitting there with a huge suppressive force.
The only pity is that this suppressive power is useless against Lin Jie and Kainuo.
Kainuo still wore a semi-permanent fake smile and poured wine for Simon, while Lin Jie lowered his head and packed his backpack.
When the military court tried him, his property was confiscated, so Lin Jie actually didn't have much.
A communication watch, two changes of clothes, a Carl Star Nation citizen ID card, and a Titan-level pilot certification certificate that he passed in the military before going to prison.
Also, it's 'Kane'.
Lin Jie said he would take it away, and he did not break his promise, and the prison did not make it difficult for Simon because of a small intelligent core.
So 'Kane' is now lying in Lin Jie's backpack.
Lin Jie listened to the bickering between his uncle and nephew. He took out the two documents and Kane and put them on the table in front of him, thinking about something with his eyes.
"Lin Jie..."
Suddenly, Simon noticed Lin Jie.
Although he had said that he would beat Kainuo, he was still angry at that time. Kainuo, a D-level warlock, could not withstand his slap.
And even if he really wanted to beat up Kainuo, he couldn't do it in front of Lin Jie, an outsider, so after wrangling for a while, he still brought the topic to Lin Jie:
"What are your plans later?"
"What plans can I have? Didn't you all see it that day? I have declared war with Tru. Either he dies or I die. There is no room for maneuver. And to deal with him, I need money..." Lin Jie's tone More serious than ever.
It is recognized throughout the universe that the pilot's combat effectiveness depends on the mecha.
A pilot without a mecha is like a warrior without a body or a warlock without a soul. No matter how strong his combat skills are, he can never surpass the level of ordinary people.
Even Lin Jie is no exception.
So whether it's to deal with Tohru or to protect himself, he needs a mecha.
And buying a mecha... requires money!
"Do you have any plans?" Kainuo asked, taking a sip of red wine.
"Yes, I plan to be a hunter."
"Hunter? Interstellar Hunter?"
"That's right." Lin Jie nodded.
The races and civilizations in the universe are vast and vast. There are more than a thousand subdivisions of the known human races alone. However, no matter which country or civilization they are in, they all have the same organization - the Hunter Guild.
It is impossible to verify the time when this organization was established, but it is recognized as large in scale, strong in strength, and with a strong background.
The overall operating model is similar to that of a black market killer agency.
It probably means that the client pays to entrust a task with a bounty and lists it on the local hunter's guild. Then hunters registered with the hunter's guild can take on the task and get paid.
It's just that unlike the killer agency, the missions of the Hunter Guild are all legal. They are basically offering bounties to kill some giant beasts and wanted criminals, solving some interstellar pirates, escorting someone to a certain place, and other tasks that do not involve illegal activities.
To put it bluntly, it is a platform for hiring legal mercenaries to perform legal tasks.
Depending on the difficulty and danger of the task, the reward is generally very generous, which is more suitable for Lin Jie's current situation.
Lin Jie also made plans long before he was released from prison.
However……
"Be a hunter?" Kainuo raised his eyebrows slightly: "If you really want to make money, you might as well go to the black market and become a killer."
Lin Jie also frowned: "Why?"
"The killer takes less commission and earns more. The only drawback is that it is illegal."
"I never wanted to make illegal money."
“What kind of money do you make if you don’t make illegal money?”
"Hunters are legal and make money quickly. I'm going to be a hunter."
"..." Kainuo was silent for a moment and looked at Lin Jie: "Have you ever been a hunter?"
Lin Jie raised his head proudly: "No."
"I'm telling you..." Kainuo hooked his fingers, and Lin Jie stood up. The two of them bent over the table, just like secret agents meeting each other. Kainuo then said: "If you want to be a hunter, you have to undergo certification and combat strength review. , these are no problem, you can get the hunter's license, and then if you want to take on any mission, you have to pay a deposit first. After the mission is completed, the deposit will be returned in full, and the commission will be divided into four and six."
"Why is it only 60%?" Lin Jie raised an eyebrow.
He remembered that when he checked the information before, it clearly stated 28 points.
"Twenty-eight points is for those who have senior hunters in the hunter group. You have a criminal record. To be a hunter, someone has to give you a guarantee. If you can get 60%, it depends on the guild."
"Whose face are you looking at?"
"It!" Kainuo pointed to a shotgun-shaped badge on the wall, which happened to be the logo of the Hunter Guild.
"I went through so much trouble just to see its face?" Lin Jie also pointed to the shotgun badge.
Kainuo nodded: "Yes."
"Look..." Lin Jie and Kainuo lay on the table. Lin Jie began to break Kainuo's fingers: "I finally broke out of the prison, regained my freedom, and became a hunter."
"right."
"Do I still have to be verified?"
"right."
"Do I still need to review my combat strength?"
"right."
"Do I still have to look at his fucking face?"
"right."
"Am I not going to kneel down and beg for food?"
"Then you have to say this. People like you have to kneel down to beg for food when they are hunters. There are so many people who want to kneel down but there is no way."
"..."
Lin Jie was silent for a moment, then stood up and walked around the table, came to Kainuo's side, took Kainuo's shoulders and said, "Let me ask you, why do you think I went to the military court and was sent to the third prison by Tru?" Nine prisons?”
Keino shook his head.
Lin Jie smiled: "My legs and feet are weak and I can't kneel down."
"So you want to make money standing up?" Kainuo shrugged: "Then you should listen to me and become a killer."
"Hey, I don't understand this. I'm going to become an interstellar hunter. Why am I not as good as a killer?"
"A hunter, especially a hunter like you with a criminal record. In the eyes of outsiders, you may be a hunter, but in the eyes of the guild, you are just a beggar. It depends on whether you want to stand or make money."
"I want to stand and make money." Lin Jie stood up straight.
Kainuo immediately shook his head: "You can't make it."
"Can't you make money?"
"You can't make it!"
"This..." Lin Jie raised his hand and picked up the intelligent core 'Kane' placed on the table, and slapped it in front of Kainuo: "Can I make money from this?"
Kainuo nodded: "If you can earn it, be a killer."
"This!" Lin Jie slapped the Titan Pilot's certificate given by the army on the table: "Can I make money?"
Kainuo nodded again: "If you can earn it, kneel down."
"Then this, plus this..." Lin Jie pressed the two things together and looked at Kainuo: "Can you stand and make money?"
Kainuo glanced at Lin Jie with awe in his eyes: "Who is this big brother?"
Lin Jie crossed his shoulders and let out a sigh of relief:
"My dear, Lin Mazi."
