Since Li Ang completed the level in "Resident Evil 4" online, he still has a general impression of the plot, but the map is not as familiar as playing it in person. Especially the routes in the village are more complicated and have a bit of a maze attribute, making it troublesome to find the way.
So when he saw the familiar purple light, he was really happy, which proved that he was on the right track.
The fourth-generation merchant has a special feature, which is to erect a purple bonfire next to his stall, which is very conspicuous so that players can spot him from a long distance.
Li Ang led the reluctant Ashley to the businessman.
This equally mysterious merchant wore a hood and a kerchief on his face, with only his eyes exposed. He carried a huge package behind him and placed a small table half a person's height in front of him. Compared with the Duke who owned a carriage, It's a bit shabby, and even the shops that do business are abandoned yards of villagers.
"There really are businessmen here. It turns out you didn't lie to me!"
Ashley's eyes widened in surprise.
"When did I lie to you?" Li Ang asked her to find a place to rest while he stepped forward to talk to the businessman.
"How are you doing, man!"
"Hello Stranger!"
The businessman looked at him, then at Ashley next to him, with surprise in his eyes: "I didn't expect that there would be new customers in a place like this! What would you like to have? The price is negotiable."
Li Ang did not answer, but just said: "The Duke asked me to say hello to you on his behalf."
In the game, one of the Duke's lines once revealed that he has a good business partner, and he likes to repeat this partner's mantra, which is a fourth-generation businessman.
"!" The businessman said with a smile: "Ah~, it turns out he is one of our own, then things will be easier to handle."
"But agree in advance that even if you are a friend, you can't get discounts when buying things."
Li Ang clapped his hands and praised: "As expected of the Duke's good partner, he has principles! However, I am not here to buy anything today."
He had just arrived and had no money, so he couldn't afford it even if it was discounted.
"I heard that you have a lot of bounties here. Why don't you let me give it a try?"
Bounty missions are a feature of the 4th generation. Merchants will give generous rewards after completion, but unfortunately they are not available in "Resident 8".
Otherwise, the Duke will be tricked again!
When he heard that there was no money to be made, the businessman's interest suddenly dropped: "The task is on the wall behind you, go and see for yourself."
Li Ang turned around and found a piece of blue paper on the wall.
The general content of the paper is that I hope someone can deal with the mutated wild dogs in the village. The reward is 8 spinels, and there is a solemn seal of fire paint at the end.
After peeling off the blue paper and putting it away, Li Ang directly greeted Ashley: "It's time to go."
At this time, the businessman suddenly stopped him: "Since we are all friends, I will give you a small gift. I hope it will be helpful to you."
Li Ang stepped forward and took the thing, which was a miniature wireless headset.
This seems to be the communication device used by Leon to communicate with his comrades in the special service team, right? Why did it end up in the hands of a businessman?
(I don’t know what Lyon uses to communicate with the outside world in the game, just think it is some kind of high-tech headset)
"Don't look at me, I picked it up." The businessman spread his hands and said, "I don't know anything."
"Okay." Li Ang checked, made sure there was no problem, and put the headset into his ears.
The tingling sound of electricity made him frown.
"For the sake of gifts, don't just look at it next time, buy something instead!" the businessman said loudly.
Li Ang waved his hand to show that he understood, and then walked towards Ashley: "Don't rest, let's go."
"Did you buy anything?" Ashley said she was not interested, but in fact she was quite curious about what merchants in such a ghost place would sell.
"Backup hidden energy!" Li Ang replied.
"You are talking nonsense again!" Ashley jumped angrily: "I can't hear a word of truth from your mouth!"
“I don’t want to deal with you anymore, hum! (▼ヘ▼#)”
"You're still humming!" Li Ang vowed: "I can use it to call a helicopter later, do you believe it?"
"I don't believe it!" Ashley said no, but couldn't help but ask: "Is there really a helicopter? Then I can go home!"
"Of course." Li Ang hoped that she would stay in a happy mood, because what would happen next would not be very pleasant.
At this time, it started to rain lightly, and the two of them did not stay at the merchant's place.
"Tell me, how did you know there was a helicopter coming?"
"Please, tell me, okay~"
On the way, Ashley shook Leon's arm and curiously asked why. Even she herself didn't realize that she was so close to a man she had known for less than half a day.
Just as Li Ang was about to open his mouth, a regular beeping sound suddenly sounded in his ears.
Then, a slightly panicked female voice came from the headset: "Hey, Condor One, can you hear me? This is the Eagle's Nest. Hello? Leon, what's wrong with you over there? Why haven't you contacted us for so long?"
Leon signaled Ashley to be quiet, then pressed his ears and said, "Ashley is safe with me, but I am not the Leon you are talking about."
"He disappeared and I got his communicator."
Since he was not sure whether the protagonist was dead or alive, Li Ang used more conservative words and showed that he was a good person.
"Do you need Ashley to have a word with you?"
Li Ang took off the headset and handed it to Ashley.
The president's daughter was still confused, so she said casually: "Hello, I am Ashley Graham."
After saying that, he glanced at the man beside him and added: "I'm safe now."
Then he handed the headset back to Li Ang.
After more than a minute of silence on the headset, the female voice sounded again: "Hello, kind sir, thank you very much for helping us."
"You can call me Hanigan."
"The girl standing next to you now is President Graham's only daughter."
Hanigan's voice paused and emphasized: "President of the United States."
"Mr. President hopes that you can help his daughter leave the current area. After the mission is over, the President's family and the US authorities will express their gratitude for your good deeds and give you a generous reward."
"Next, I and the organization behind me will provide you with maximum help."
"At the same time, I also remind you that there is a locator on your communication device. Don't try to do anything that may make you regret it for the rest of your life. We will arrive as soon as possible."
"complete."
A busy signal sounded in the headset, and Li Ang looked at Ashley who knew nothing and smiled.
He is worthy of being the President's exclusive secret service. He speaks with momentum, has a carrot in one hand and a stick in the other. There is a locator for everything. Don't do anything you regret. Tell him clearly, don't touch Ashley, otherwise you won't be able to enjoy the juice!
It's just that the wording is more tactful.
However, now that Ashley is in his hands, not to mention the exclusive secret service, even if the president calls in person, he doesn't dare to speak too directly for fear of irritating him.
"Don't you think so, Ashley?"
Li Ang suddenly hugged the president's daughter and patted her on the shoulder.
The sudden physical contact made Ashley's face turn red, and her shrinking look was extremely cute.
"Huh? I don't know what you are talking about..."
Li Ang stopped teasing her and retracted his arm: "I said, just because you asked so many questions, our helicopter is gone."
"Ah!" Ashley was shocked and said with a sad face, "Then what should we do?"
Li Ang couldn't help but laugh: "But I think, because of me, your father, the president, might drive an aircraft carrier to pick you up."
"Until then, we can only continue to depend on each other."
"Huh?!" The ups and downs of life made Ashley feel a little dizzy and she had no idea what she was talking about.
"Then...then you are quite a nice person."
