Chapter 27 (1/2)
”I wish you a long life --” Obi hummed, his hands gesticulating fighting movements.
Ramon sat rubbing his weapon and asked, ”what's crazy again?”
”No Opal said foolishly: ”in the post-war summary, I think about the scene just now You played well. When you and that guy were fighting in mid air, you were very nervous
”You're a good match, too.” Raymond did not raise his head.
Opal said, ”how can you use a big sword?”
Raymond said, ”a little bit.”
Opal asked, ”who taught you to fight? I remember you didn't take part in the training of mercenary recruits. ”
Raymond replied, ”I said I was born. Would you believe it?”
Opal turned his head to think and looked at Raymond. Raymond did not speak any more. He put His Hatchet aside and went to bed in the bedroom. The maid and Mrs. Anta lived on the ship for less than 40 hours and, by the way, kept their bedrooms clean.
On Tuesday, they returned to the star, the storm was over, and a new work week was coming.
Opal stops at the front door of the mercenary trade union. Another mission is over, and the next mission has to find a new group. Raymond doesn't talk much, but he always feels that there are many unknown secrets. He never mentions his life experience, let alone makes any demands on opal.
There were so many fewer people that the mercenaries who had been entrusted on Monday had gone on duty.
Raymond delivered the task to the window of the mission hall on the first floor. The other side said, ”Azeroth has no time to see you. The twins of Nanmen and MS. lefina have already sent him a communication in this period of time. You have to hand in the chip of rephina. There is also an additional Commission allowance - 50000 credit points added by Ms. rifina. She is very grateful to you for saving her from the kidnapper. No amount of money is more than her life, so this money is just a token of her feelings... ”
”Is she awake?” Asked opal, squeezing to the window.
”Ah, yes.” The staff member carelessly said: ”click the fingerprint here, and the money will be transferred to your account automatically. Azeroth can meet you whenever he is free. He is said to be very busy recently Very busy. You've got 105 points for this Commission. Congratulations, you're promoted again. ”
Raymond looked up at the circular bulletin board on the wall and asked, ”how long is the next refresh?”
The staff said, ”there are still 36 hours left. Your cooperation will be lifted. I wish you two a long life, the next one!”
It was sunny outside. Raymond returned opal's mercenary diary to him, and opal flipped through it - F +. The promotion requirement is 180 points. ”And you?” opal said
Raymond said, ”I'm still early, more than 3000 points.”
Opal read his mercenary diary and Ramon's. they were silent in the sun.
”So...” Raymond said.
Opal said, ”let's do it together, partner. I'm serious. I'll give you my back. You see, you're willing to fight with me.”
Raymond said, ”No. Opal, you are a good comrade in arms. Loyalty, justice, kindness and modesty have always been. This is my own reason
Opal had nothing to say. Ramon was silent for a moment, and then said, ”let's break up. We'll cooperate again next time. Goodbye. ”
Opal suddenly became angry and yelled at Raymond, ”you won't rent a boat!”
”Not every mission needs a spaceship,” Raymond said as he walked
Opal: I won't lend you the boat again next time! There's no way to join us! Wait and see
Ramon turned back and walked backward, with a poke of his finger: ”whatever! You'll see! ”
Opal said a dirty word in a bad way. He stayed at the gate of the guild and checked his diary.
Previously, a mercenary commander said that he would be recruited into the regiment as long as he was promoted to level E. there were still 180 points left for him to be promoted. Although I forget who the regiment leader is, I can always meet someone who wants to be his own when I wander around the personnel hall on the second floor after promotion.
After these days, I probably know what's going on with the Commission. At least I've reached the goal of familiarity. I'll try again after the bulletin board is refreshed.
So where are you going next? Strong star 72 hours a day, 14 days a week, refresh every two days, release six times a week On Monday, the storm is off.
It's still 36 hours before a new round of tasks can be refreshed. It's dark. There's nowhere to go in the long night. The lights are on in the bar. Does opal go to have dinner and stay in the hotel? No, everything's in the ship. Go back to play games and wait for a new mission cycle to begin.
With a big sword on his back, he walked unsteadily under the street lamp, like a lonely traveler. The street light of sunlight city is light blue, and iris will emit a slight red fluorescence at night. When mixed together, the whole city is like a purple fairyland.
”I wish you a long life --” opal helped the drunkard by the side of the road and said with a smile, ”drinking is harmful to your health.”
”Child! Good work! Don't be afraid of difficulties The drunkard clapped solemnly on opal's shoulder.
Opal also patted him on the shoulder. Many of the city's veterans had retired. Most of them had rich combat experience - such as the hotel owner. After they have made enough money, they don't go through life and death, buy a small business, and live a little.Opal enjoys the fresh night wind and starts to think of his own. Will he do the same? No, his goal is to make some money, buy a spaceship with a transition function, and fly around the universe at will to explore the areas that have not been marked on the star map.
Rex said that the star map given to him was still a very small area, accounting for at most 3% of the universe, and perhaps the Republic and Empire were more narrow in their territory, only 1% of the area.
There are too many places that haven't opened the gate of the stars. No one even knows where the end of the universe is. Maybe it has no territory.
Opal bought a suit of clothes from a roadside clothing store, including wear-resistant military trousers, anti-skid boots, waistcoat and jacket. After wearing them, he looked very energetic and had a haircut. His short hair was matched with his wheat complexion, which made him look sunny and healthy. Mercenaries like to wear it like this. Some of them like to put some strange little things on their coats and jackets. They also like to wear some patterns on their arms and wear earrings.
Opal was walking in the street with his bag in his old clothes. Someone stopped by the side of the road, whistled at him and asked, ”Hi! Wandering beauty! Give you a ride? Where are you going? ”
Opal said with a smile, ”I didn't know where to go.”
”Let's go! Go for a ride The man was a mercenary who didn't know him. He waved to him. Opal got into the car. The maglev car flew into the air. Opal said, ”just come back from the mission?”
”Yes.” The mercenary turned on the music in front of the car and said, ”I almost died in the cancer constellation nebula. It's good to be alive this year.”
”It's good to live,” opal said with a smile. I wish you a long life. ”
In the prosperous night, half of the burning stars are brightly lit. The city of war star is shrouded in the dividing line between day and night. Turning to the deep night, the star of Ares casts its intense light on this land full of blood and struggle.
Opal chatted with the mercenary about their tasks. Speaking of the auction of the star of the eternal day, the mercenary said with a smile: ”there is such a good thing. We didn't accept the money. We knew we would go to have a good meal.”
Two people around, opal yawned and said, ”let me off the tarmac and go back to sleep.”
”Yes.” The mercenary said, ”long life to you!”
Opal got out of the car to say goodbye to him and walked into the tarmac when he suddenly remembered that he had forgotten to ask his name. But forget it, maybe it will happen one day.
He began to fall in love with the planet, and he had a sense of sharing weal and woe.
”So late to work?” The policeman did not raise his head.
”Come back to sleep.” ”Sleep in the spaceship,” opal said lazily
The policeman said, ”it's not good to sleep on a spaceship. If you have money, go to the suburbs to buy a small house to live in. There is a discount for Grade C or above. Keep your ID card well. I wish you a long life. ”
Opal passed the customs, went to the IRC in the apron to check the accounts, and suddenly heard a sound of deja vu coming from behind.
Xun: ”yes, yes, we can save a lot of money if we entrust a task here. At least we don't have to pay the service fee...”
Young voice: ”I don't have much money, but please do help me.”
Xun: ”no problem. Let me see your account first.”
”What are you doing?” opal said without expression
Quick scared a jump, cold way: ”how is you again, don't mind your own business.”
Opal took the boy by the wrist, pulled him aside, and said seriously to him, ”the entrusted task should go to the trade union branch. Any trade union can entrust it. There are direct trains outside. Don't listen to him. Don't show anyone your account What are you doing? You want to fight? ”
Opal couldn't help but push the boy in front of him to stagger a few steps and protect the boy behind him.
”What's the matter with you?” he roared?! Do you want to be beaten again? ”
Opal rolled up his sleeve and yelled at him, ”come on! I don't know who wants to be beaten. What kind of dog was beaten last time? Did you forget? ”
As soon as his face was flushed, he was about to go forward to fight. Several of his accomplices clearly remember the last time they besieged Opal and Raymond and did not dare to start without authorization. Opal drew out his sword and tilted it toward the ground. No one dared to step forward again.
”Do what! Don't fight Here comes the police at the exit.
Opal defiantly moved his eyebrows and took his sword back.
”You'll see,” he said coldly
Opal said coldly, ”you will see! Want to make money on their own efforts to receive commission! Don't be a waste here! To deceive, to deceive, to lose the face of a mercenary! ”
Trembling with rage, he left opal with a whole collar.
The boy was speechless for a long time. Opal said, ”my name is opal. What's your name?”
”Sid.” The boy said, ”your name is opal. Well, good name. Where am I going now? Here Why do you feel so tired? ”
Opal nodded and said, ”go outside and buy a map with a place on it. Strong star gravity coefficient is 1.3, don't run, be careful of fracture, adapt to a period of time after good
The boy asked, ”yes Many cities? Which city is easier to delegate? ”Opal said: ”the same, Sun City, the city of war spirit can, most people in this place are good, worthy of trust, don't be afraid.”
Sid said, ”thank you Thank you. I'd like to delegate a task
Opal said: ”go to the trade union. I have a special reception. I don't know the process. If that guy bothers you again, tell him to be careful
Sid nodded and said, ”thank you for your help. I'll remember you, opal.”
Opal waved his hand to show you're welcome. He packed his backpack, went to the tarmac, and went back to sleep on the boat.
Thirty six hours later, opal spent his time in the spaceship, playing games with grass on his head. As the night passed and dawn came, E7 bit by bit reminded him to get up. Opal got restless, took a bath, changed his clothes, shaved his beard, and was ready to meet the start of the new working day.
Find a group, or contact a single task, continue to work hard.
At 0 o'clock in the morning, a ray of sunlight dyed the morning glow with fire like red, and the mercenaries at the gate of the trade union in the city of sunlight were crowded with mercenaries.
”Don't fight here!” Opal was so crowded that he finally entered the hall on the first floor.
Along the way were squabbling captains, and the female staff member screamed, ”it's no use talking to me! No, have, use -! I'm not afraid of you
Opal lines up at the window of a single task. He can't find Raymond. He suddenly remembers that they are still wearing ear button communicators. He subconsciously touches them and asks, ”Hey, man, where are you?”
There was no response. Ramon must have taken off the communication device. Opal was a little impatient and called out, ”hurry up ahead of you!”
”Do you hear me! The one behind you is urging The staff yelled to the person in front of me: ”how can I know what the employer has! It's none of our business, next! Get out of the way now
Opal was so angry that he saw the single task on the bulletin board being taken away one by one and shaking his left leg impatiently. A small robot flew over to extend the communicator.
