Gao Qi looked at John with doubt for a long time before asking, "That's it?"
John heaved a sigh of relief. He held his forehead with his hand and said helplessly, "Let me tell you the details of this mission. It's like this. A Desolate Dweller sneaked into Fog City. The surveillance cameras saw the Desolate Dweller swaggering into the city, but the guards acted as if they didn't see him. Then, the Desolate Dweller began to do whatever he wanted in Iron Tower City."
"Do whatever he wanted?"
"He killed about a hundred people, all of them … men."
"Why do you emphasize that all of them were men?"
John shook his head from side to side, spread his hands, and said awkwardly, "Take a guess."
"I guess he likes men, and he is a man, so the way those men died should be indescribable."
"Correct!"
John spread his hands again, and then said helplessly, "You know, people in Fog City like this …"
"I don't know."
"Now that you know, can you stop interrupting me?"
"Please continue."
"People in Fog City were very angry and panicked. They even saw the whole process of the Desolate Man's crime from the surveillance cameras, so they sent a large number of police officers, but they could only watch the Desolate Man walk away."
"Mental interference?"
"After the investigation, they found that the police officers didn't see any strangers, they only saw a companion. Then, the Desolate Man killed four people at the City Council with a knife under the surveillance cameras, but the people present didn't seem to see it. When they found the bodies, the Desolate Man was even beside them. After these two incidents, the Desolate Man was determined to be a Psychic Man."
"Then it must be a mental control."
John smiled bitterly. "A Psychic Man is too scary. Even if you can detect his presence with the detector, you still can't find him. So now you understand why I said this mission is suitable for you."
Gao Qi was tempted. He nodded and said, "Indeed. Although I'm not 100% sure, I can give it a try."
John said in a serious tone, "This mission was issued by the Fog City officials. At first, it was an E-rank mission, but after several failures, it is now a C-rank mission. Also, the reward for this mission has increased from 5,000 grams to 20,000 grams. The biggest advantage is that this mission is issued by the Fog City officials. You can also get the full support of the Fog City officials. You don't need to sneak into the Fog City, kill the target, and then quietly leave. This kind of mission issued by the city officials is really rare."
"It's really not bad! It is indeed suitable for me. Most importantly, don't you think that this kind of mission is very suitable for my code name and identity as the Messenger of Justice? "
John frowned and didn't say anything. Gao Qi waited for a moment, but when he didn't get the response he hoped for, he had to say embarrassedly, "Just kidding."
John sighed softly and said, "Fortunately, I was afraid that you would really think of yourself as the Messenger of Justice. Well, this mission does need the help of Huang Fei. Otherwise, you won't be able to find the psychic. Because the Fog City is very big, and he could be hiding anywhere. But with Huang Fei's help, it will be much more convenient."
"Fei Ge may not be able to leave the city. Is there a time limit for this mission?"
John fell into deep thought again. Then he whispered, "Can't you persuade Huang Fei? Do me a favor. If you help me, I will definitely help you. "
"Help you with what?"
John whispered, "I know at least ten missions that require his ability. One of them is a special invitation mission that has no risk. It's the kind that only makes money. The others are low-risk but high-reward missions. For Huang Fei, can you help me persuade him to accept these missions? At least let him talk to me. "
"Why don't you talk to him yourself?"
John said awkwardly, "You are a good person to talk to, but he … is very stubborn. He seems to be angry with me, so he doesn't want to contact me now."
"Oh, you shouldn't talk to him about secretly setting up a branch while talking to the higher-ups in Chaoxi City about setting up a branch publicly. Fei Ge hates being used. He feels that you are unreliable."
John said excitedly, "I told him that the Chaoxi City branch can only be set up secretly under the premise that it can't be set up publicly. I said that, and this is just a business. Damn it, this is just a business! You should have a business attitude when doing business! You can't reject money that is sent to your door. You will be punished by the heavens. If there is a business, you have to do it. If there is money, you have to earn it! "
"You think this is a business, but he doesn't think so. Besides, if you think there is money, you have to earn it. But what is he earning money for?"
John suddenly froze. Gao Qi continued, "What is he earning money for? Where is he spending it? "
John was stunned. "I really hate your attitude towards money. Damn it, I really hate people who have no desires …"
"It's hard to control people who have no desires. Okay, I can help you talk to Fei Ge, but how can you help me?"
John sighed. "It's a win-win situation. I can persuade Fog City to increase the bounty and persuade the guild to upgrade this mission to a special invitation instead of a C-rank mission. This way, I am confident that the bounty can be increased to 30,000 grams. I will only take a cut of 5,000 grams. This is good for both of us."
"Wait, you said that the guild will take a cut too."
"But a special invitation mission won't. For a C-rank mission, you can only get 18,000 grams of gold at most. But for a special invitation mission, you can get 25,000 grams. Isn't that good? We all get our share. Isn't that good? "
"The guild doesn't take a cut for a special invitation mission?"
"Yes."
"And you don't charge a service fee?"
John suddenly felt a bit unnatural. Gao Qi suddenly had a look of realization. "You were waiting for me here? No wonder you were willing to help me take the risk of failing the first mission! So you have already thought about it. You don't need to take the risk at all! "
John whispered, "But I helped to upgrade this mission to a special invitation mission, so …"
"I also hate being played!"
John smiled bitterly. "At least I am honest. This is business. I just chose a mission that is most suitable for you. At the same time, I maximized our benefits. Isn't that good?"
Gao Qi just stared at John. John sighed helplessly. "Okay, I apologize! Damn it, I didn't expect you to understand so quickly. This is a very normal and harmless trick in business. This is very normal! "
Gao Qi didn't say anything. He just stared at John. Finally, John roared, "Damn it! This is a normal business negotiation! Why are you looking at me like a woman who has been abandoned? I am just a businessman. I am just an excellent broker. I have facilitated countless cooperation that everyone is satisfied with. So why are you and Huang Fei treating me like this? I just … I just did what a businessman should do! "
"Trust is very difficult to build, but it only takes a moment to break it. Oh, it seems like I can contact the guild myself, right?"
John looked at Gao Qi in shock. Then he said with extreme surprise, "You sly bastard, you want to go past me, the middleman? This is against the rules. This is very bad! "
"You say that this is against the rules while maximizing the benefits. Do you mean that maximizing your benefits is the rule?"
John exhaled and said softly, "State your conditions!"
Gao Qi began to think deeply. Then he looked at the pistol at his waist.
John held his forehead and said with a distressed expression, "Oh no, don't do this. I hate it!"
Gao Qi said softly, "I need a gun to complete the mission. It would be best if it is a .338 Lapman Magnum rifle with a scope and can shoot from a distance. It would be best if it is a hunting rifle, such as a Brasser R8. It would be best if it is equipped with 10,000 bullets because I need to practice and also …"
John sighed softly and said, "I only earn 5,000 grams. I will lose money like this!"
"If I have such a gun, I can complete a 40,000-gram bounty mission. Moreover, we only want 30,000 grams of gold."
John said angrily, "Why don't you just ask for more money! Also, 40 kilograms of gold is a large sum of money at any time! The most important thing is that I hate the way you and Huang Fei speak! "
Gao Qi took out his phone and said to John, "I just saw that we can negotiate the price for the special mission."
"But 40,000 grams of gold is impossible! Impossible! "
"That's why we want 30,000 grams. That's why we need you to negotiate. We only want 30,000 grams, and the rest is yours."
John exhaled, then he reached out his hand to Gao Qi and said with a serious face, "Deal!"
"Uh, am I being too hasty?"
John gritted his teeth and said, "You negotiate. If Fog City is willing to pay 30,000 grams of gold, I can swallow all the gold! I will negotiate. 35,000 is possible, but 40,000 is absolutely impossible. But I am willing to try. I am also willing to give a rifle worth 2,000 grams! That's a fair offer! "
Gao Qi spread out his hands and said, "It's a win-win situation. You see, you earn more, and we earn more. This is the basis of a long-term cooperation."
John grabbed Gao Qi's outstretched hand, then he quickly put on a professional smile and said, "By the way, please tell Huang Fei that I really have a lot of missions that are suitable for him, the kind that is easy to pick up for him. He must consider it."
"I will tell him, but I can't guarantee that he will agree."
John breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Please hurry, the sooner the better. When you and Huang Fei come, I will introduce the mission to you in detail. Then I will talk to Fog City and the guild about the special mission."
Gao Qi stood up, then he suddenly said, "Mr. Barak, what is your constellation?"
John was stunned for a moment and said, "Scorpio, why do you ask?"
Gao Qi was silent for a moment, then he nodded and said, "Nothing, just curious. Goodbye, I will give you an answer as soon as possible."
