Mo Fan asked: "What's the request?"
An Xin explained: "Although I have told my clients about your skills, and considering my reputation in my circle, the clients have no clear doubts, but there is one thing you have to understand."
"No one cares about a native without a prosthetic body, even if he is a mercenary recommended by me. Therefore, the customer needs a trial period."
Mo Fan shrugged and asked nonchalantly: "How does he want to try it out?"
"For example, before completing a commission, prove your strength first."
"Okay, when will it start?"
"He will come to the office to find you in a while."
"What's the specific time?"
Ding dong.
The office doorbell rang at the right time.
The surveillance outside the door popped up on the computer monitor. A blond man wearing a white leather jacket and sunglasses was waving to the camera.
An Xin pressed the door button, turned around and said, "Now."
Mo Fan: "...Miss An Xin, don't we usually talk about this kind of things in advance?"
"Because I got up late." An Xin admitted without any guilt.
The blond man entered the office and An Xin introduced to Mo Fan:
"This is Porter, one of the most famous drivers in West City. In the death racing competition, he has been in the top three in ten small races. Recently, he has ranked first in three consecutive small races. His driving skills are superb."
"Potter, he is the master I mentioned to you. He is proficient in all kinds of firearms and has accurate marksmanship. He once defeated a gang with more than a hundred members by himself. His strength is trustworthy."
The two nodded as a greeting.
Mo Fan had a sullen face and asked straight to the point: "I already know your request, how do you want me to prove my strength?"
Porter lifted up his sunglasses and explained slightly awkwardly:
"Actually, I can still trust the credibility of "Bodhisattva". "
Mo Fan: "I understand, you just don't trust me."
Potter looked even more embarrassed: "You can't say that..."
Mo Fan patted Porter on the shoulder and said in a relaxed tone: "Hey, don't be nervous, I'm just joking with you, I have a sense of humor. As long as you make reasonable demands, I won't fall out casually."
Porter began to sweat on his forehead and looked at An Xin for help, only to find that An Xin had already put on his headphones and was concentrating on watching TV series.
He could only turn around, face Mo Fan again, and said carefully:
"I don't dare to wander around alone in a place like Yefeng Town. So I want you to be my bodyguard for one day, just for today. I will pay extra afterwards."
Mo Fan's serious expression disappeared instantly, and his face was filled with a friendly smile.
"It's such a small thing, it's enough to have said it earlier."
An Xin took off her headphones and asked, "Have you two finished talking?"
Mo Fan put his arm around Potter's shoulders, "It's all agreed. Brother Potter wants to hire me as a bodyguard for a day."
"Okay, then I will prepare another bodyguard commission and give you a discount. The price will be half of the appearance fee of "veteran" mercenaries on the market. I've sent the contract to you two. If you think it's okay, sign it. "
The mercenaries who accept the commission are divided into seven levels according to their strength, from the lowest F to the highest S.
Class F are rookies who have just learned how to shoot. They are no different from ordinary gang members. They can only do trivial tasks, such as tracking, investigating affairs, etc.
The E-class has begun to have combat effectiveness and can accept some dangerous combat commissions. However, due to its high mortality rate, it is also called a "consumable" in the industry.
By the time they reach D-level, mercenaries have usually had prosthetic bodies implanted and have experienced many commissions. They have become "veteran" and can stand alone.
The appearance fee for a D-class mercenary starts at tens of thousands per order. Even with a 50% discount, it still costs 5,000. It costs 5,000 federal dollars to hire a bodyguard for a day. This is a consumption level worthy of wealthy people in the satellite city.
Looking at the bill, Porter felt a twinge of pain.
Mo Fan glanced at the contract, signed his name, and then looked straight at Potter.
Porter felt the pressure in his sight, so he could only bite the bullet and sign, comforting himself in his heart that it was all for the sake of winning the championship. As long as he won the stage championship, everything would be worth it.
After receiving the contract signed by the two, An Xin said:
"I'm only responsible for matchmaking, and you two can do the rest on your own. I have something else to do in the afternoon, and I hope you have fun outside."
After coming out of the office, Mo Fan got into Porter's car.
Mo Fan asked: "What are your plans today."
"First go to the maintenance shop in the business district to check the condition of the car," Porter said.
While driving, Porter briefly introduced the competition cars to Mo Fan.
The cars used in restricted competitions such as death racing are different from the cars people usually come into contact with. In order to increase the competitiveness, the cars used in the competition are uniformly customized modular racing cars.
Car customization companies package various functions into modules with unified interfaces, just like Lego blocks. As long as the modules are put together, the car can start.
The modular processing of racing cars allows players to quickly adjust the vehicle conditions on site according to the competition conditions.
For example, if you are lagging behind, you can uninstall the weapon module and install more acceleration modules in exchange for the opportunity to overtake.
The second is that it allows players to capture each other's modules through battles, so that they can freely adjust their cars during the race without entering the maintenance point.
The modular racing cars used in the competition are officially distributed, but the modification modules and adjustment module allocation need to be completed by the players themselves.
In order to prepare for this competition, the modification team that often cooperated with Porter also came to Yefeng Town and temporarily borrowed the studio of a friend in the town.
A few days before the race, Porter must always pay attention to the performance and stability of the car to ensure that there are no problems on the day of the race.
The commercial district is the most prosperous place in Yefeng Town.
Shops, restaurants, nightclubs, and red light districts are mostly gathered here.
While it is lively, this place is also destined to be one of the most chaotic places in Yefeng Town.
In order to be able to open at night and ensure that they are not bought by some groups for zero dollars, most small and medium-sized shops are surrounded by metal fences, and bunkers and shooting ports are also set up outside large shops.
In addition to fortifications, professionals looking at the site are essential.
Gang members with their gang members can often be seen on the broken curbs, rusty metal roadblocks, and in the alleys between houses.
They stare at passers-by eagerly, conveying information with their eyes.
"Don't cause trouble on my territory."
The studio Porter was going to was located on Mechanical Street in the back section of the business district.
Entering Machinery Street, you can clearly feel that this place is different from the outside world.
The shops on the street are all related to technology. In order to attract customers, a variety of new gadgets are displayed in front of each shop to showcase its own features and technologies.
Walking in Mechanical Street, Mo Fan could feel that Azure Star was a high-tech plane, not a simple slum with poor supplies.
Porter parked the car at No. Z-36, in front of a car modification studio called "Lightning".
As soon as he entered the door, three men in work clothes came up and hugged Potter one by one.
"How's the condition of the car?" Porter asked the question he was most concerned about.
A bearded modder said excitedly:
"Perfect! I just got the system processing software from Satellite City. Although it is a pirated version, it is much easier to use than the previous system. The utilization rate of each module has increased by 8%. It is now as fierce as a beast."
Potter asked with concern: "How have you been these two days? No trouble?"
"trouble……"
The bearded man smiled bitterly, and before he could speak, there was a burst of noise outside.
A group of people broke in, and the leader shouted:
"Tell your boss to come out and collect protection money!"
