Chapter 0001. magical mission
"This is your reward for going to North Africa." Old man Lin carefully took out two crumpled hundred-dollar bills from a well-wrapped rag and handed them to Lin Yi, who was looking at him eagerly.
Lin Yi didn't understand that the mission he performed was so dangerous, his enemies were so powerful, the benefits obtained by his clients were so rich, but in the end his gains were so little.
Where did the old man get these top-notch tasks for himself? Every time, he narrowly escaped death, but the reward he received was fifty or one hundred, which was okay. There were still three yuan and two yuan left... Lin Yi wanted to cry every time he thought of this.
After receiving the 200 yuan that he had exchanged for his life, what Lin Yi wanted to scold most was that his mother was so stupid even though he was an orphan and had no mother since he was a child.
After fifteen years of learning kung fu and fifteen years of reading from the old man Lin who raised him, he can be regarded as a versatile scholar, right? In ancient times, he was the top pick in both civil and military rankings, but he was treated like a laborer... When did this day come to an end?
I heard that people in the city can get tens of thousands a year for building houses, but I only have to work hard every day for only 1,800 yuan a year...
"Old man, are you kidding me? Two hundred yuan? I doubt you are deducting my remuneration?" Lin Yi had doubted this more than once, but the old man wore the same food as him. Same, but not like a rich person.
"It's good to have money. Do you think money is so easy to earn now?" Old Man Lin rolled his bulging eyes and said angrily: "What? You don't want it? If you don't want it, just give it back to me. , it’s been a long time since I went to the snack bar at Village Head King’s Widow’s house for a toothpaste.”
"..." Lin Yi wanted to beat up the skinny old man in front of him, but he knew that if he did it, he would be beaten.
Lin Yi himself didn't know how powerful Old Lin's kung fu was. He only knew that he didn't use his full strength every time he practiced kung fu with him. Just when his kung fu improved to a higher level, he suddenly discovered that the old man had also improved to a higher level, and he was still his defeat.
"Okay, you have gained enough experience over the years, and it's almost time for that big event." Old Man Lin didn't even raise his eyelids, sitting cross-legged on the kang, knocking on the plate of fennel beans in front of him. : "If you do this task well, you won't have to worry about food and drink for the rest of your life."
"Really or not?" Lin Yi knew that since he was picked up by an old man when he was three years old, he has been learning kung fu, medical skills, and outside knowledge from the old man, just to do something big, but Lin Yi is very I wonder if the reward for this big job is as much as the old man said. One task can last a lifetime.
"When did I lie to you?" Old Man Lin threw another fennel bean into his mouth: "Are you going? If not, I will replace you?"
"Go, of course I will go," Lin Yi thought to himself, no fool would not go for such a good thing. A mission can last a lifetime, and he won't have to work so hard in the future. Even if it's a dragon's pond and a tiger's den, it's worth the effort.
"Well, then go ahead. Go to Songshan City, Pengzhan Group, and find a man named Chu Pengzhan. He will tell you what to do next." An imperceptible evil smile flashed across the corner of Old Man Lin's mouth: " But you have to think carefully, once you accept this task, you must continue to do it, and you cannot quit midway."
"Why? Why don't you let people run away when there is danger?" Lin Yi is not the kind of person who is stubborn. He will not do anything that he knows will lead to death.
"Xiaoyi, I have raised you for fifteen years, provided you with food, provided you with drink, bought you a laptop, bought you a 3G network card..." The old man rolled his eyes and started to chatter endlessly: "Let you You only have so many problems with doing something, don’t force me.”
"Damn" Lin Yi became furious after hearing what the old man said: "You raised me for the first three years. From the age of six, I have been cooking, chopping firewood, and weaving straw sandals to earn money to support you. Don't force me."
"You secretly use the computer to watch porn in the middle of the night. Don't think I don't know." The old man glared and said, "You forced me to say this and you are still facing the computer..."
"Okay...I'll go...I won't run away, okay?" Lin Yi blushed. He didn't expect that such a secret thing he did would be noticed by this old guy. It's so fucking embarrassing. If he keeps talking, he might reveal some scenes that are forbidden for children.
So, under Old Man Lin's coercion and inducement, Lin Yi packed his bags, boarded the train heading north, and traveled thousands of miles to Songshan City, a modern and international metropolis.
Sitting on the train, Lin Yi was thinking that he would have to encrypt the password in the future and hide it in the computer system folder. When doing that, he would have to keep an eye on all directions and listen to all directions.
However, Lin Yi is still looking forward to this mission. Lin Yi has always dreamed of being able to retire with one mission. Although it can be felt from the words of old man Lin that this mission does not seem simple. Well, it’s not easy to be challenging, right?
"Pa", a pock-marked man sitting opposite Lin Yi opened a can of Coke and threw the ring on the table.
The guy next to the man with a crew cut pretended not to care. He picked up the pull tab and played with it in his hand. After playing with it for a few times, he suddenly shouted: "Wow, wow, wow, first prize!"
Although the crew cut's voice was not loud in the noisy train carriage, the passengers sitting nearby heard it and looked at him one after another.
The pockmarked face was naturally no exception. When he saw that the ring in Flathead's hand was exactly what he had just thrown away, his face suddenly became a little unnatural: "Give it to me, this is mine..."
"What's yours? Where's your name?" Xiao Pingtou took back his right hand, held the pull ring tightly in his hand, and glared: "Is your name First Prize?"
"No... I'm not calling for the first prize... I lost the first prize ring..." Mazi became a little timid when he saw the ferocious appearance of the little crew chief, but he didn't want to lose what he deserved. So he said tremblingly.
"You also said that you lost it. Since you lost it, it belongs to whoever finds it." Xiao Pingtou snorted and said disdainfully.
"Hey, how could you do this?" Mazi's face suddenly became anxious, and he shouted to a passenger opposite him, a man with glasses sitting on Lin Yi's left: "Sir, you look like a A scholar, you give me a review, how can there be someone like him? Isn’t this a rogue thing?”
"Who is acting rogue?" The little crew chief was no longer happy, and turned to the man with glasses and said, "Master, tell me, who should own this ring?"
"Well..." The man with glasses pushed up his glasses, hesitated and said, "I am a university teacher. Since you two trust me, I will give you an evaluation."
"You say it, you say it." Both the pockmarked face and the crew cut nodded, looking anxiously at the man with glasses who claimed to be a university teacher.
"It stands to reason that this big brother pulled the ring off the drink can, and the thing should belong to him..." Halfway through the man's words, the pockmarked face showed a proud expression, and the little boy's head suddenly became anxious. Just when he was about to say something, the man with glasses waved his hand to stop him, and continued: "But, since this elder brother has thrown away the ring and this brother has picked it up again, then it should belong to the later period." This brother’s…”
"But you also said that the ring is mine..." The pockmarked face burst into tears after hearing what the man with glasses said.
"In my opinion, it's better to just split the prize equally between the two of you, so that no one suffers," the man with glasses suggested.
"Let's divide it..." After hearing this, Xiao Pingtou hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, let's divide it."
Probably the little flathead also felt that his reasoning was a little untenable, so he agreed to the glasses man's suggestion. As for the pock-marked guy over there, he also saw Griphook clutching the little flat head in his hand. If he didn't agree, he might not even be able to get the hair, so he might as well share half of it, so he nodded in agreement.
"Okay, since you all agree, let's divide it." The man with glasses took the can in the pockmarked hand and looked at it, and said: "It says here that the first prize is one hundred thousand yuan, and a hundred yuan will be deducted. 80,000 yuan is left after 20/20 personal income tax. However, since it is troublesome to receive the award, whichever of you two is going to receive the award, just give the other person 30,000 yuan, and then go and receive the award yourself. What do you think of this idea? Sample?"
"Okay." With a pockmarked face, it was good to get some money, so he agreed directly: "Give me 30,000, and then you can go and receive the prize."
