Chapter 238 Yicui Tower
Blood Rain World, Imperial Capital, Nanyi Qianhusuo.
"Take off your official uniform and boots, and turn in your waist badge." The Blood Rain guards on the side looked at Xu Jingming.
Xu Jingming didn't say much. He took off his official uniform and boots on the spot, leaving only his underwear. At the same time, he took out his identity badge and put them all on the table.
"Jing Ming, from today on, you will be an ordinary Blood Rain Guard in the Punishment Department of Nanfu Headquarters!" Qian Baihu, who is in charge of this matter, frowned and urged, "Hurry up and go to the Punishment Department quickly. Let the Criminal Division take office.”
Xu Jingming put on the black official uniform of an ordinary Blood Rain Guard and an ordinary black waistband, then put his gun pouch on his back and turned around to leave.
Walking in the corridor, I suddenly heard a sound outside.
"I am so unlucky that I met this idiot Zhang Ke! He knew clearly that he was going to die, but he went to assassinate His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Prince Yan on the street... I didn't want to let it go, so don't implicate others." In Qianhu. In the courtyard of the institute, Zhao De, the former master of one hundred households, Fang' was drinking wine, his face was red and he was cursing in front of his men, "I have been a Blood Rain Guard for twenty-five years before I became a hundred households! Just because of this idiot, I am now a deputy captain."
Xu Jing Ming walked out at this moment, pretending not to see Zhao Defang.
“This is also a fool!” Zhao Defang pointed at Xu Jingming, “Zhang Ke failed to discipline his subordinates, and he will bring trouble to me.”
"Shut up." Xu Jingming glanced at him.
"You, you, you..." Zhao Defang suddenly became angry and was a little afraid of taking action.
Although he is also a first-rate master, as the former boss of Xu Jingming, he knows that "three first-rate masters and six second-rate masters" have jointly failed to assassinate Xu Jingming. It is clear that Xu Jingming is stronger than him. A big chunk.
"Blood Rain Wei Jingming, do you understand the superiority and inferiority?" Zhao Defang was angry.
"Just you?" Xu Jingming sneered and walked towards the door.
Zhao Defang was so angry that he threw the wine bottle, but there was nothing he could do.
Now he has been demoted to just the vice-captain! Although Xu Jingming was demoted to the lowest rank of ordinary Blood Rain Guards, he was the Blood Rain Guards of the Criminal Division, and Zhao Defang had no control over him.
......
Nanfu Headquarters, as the largest military camp in Nancheng, the imperial capital, with tens of thousands of people living here, Nanfu Headquarters is like a small town.
Xu Jingming came to the Criminal Division.
"Meet Mr. Niu." Xu Jingming paid a courtesy visit to the chief officer of the Ti Xing Department, the Niu Ti Xingshi.
Niutixingshi is a tall, fat man who is very lazy and looks like he has not woken up. But Xu Jingming knew that the top master of the Nanfu Blood Rain Guard was Niu Ti Xingshi!
Niu Tixing Envoy is also a top-notch master. His strength is much stronger than that of the town envoy ‘Wang Jiuyan’. He is also Wang Jiuyan’s absolute confidant and controls the key department of the Punishment Division.
“Jingming,” Niu Ti Xingshi said with a smile, “Commander Fei and Mr. Wang have mentioned you to me and are very optimistic about you. You are being implicated this time... just bear with it for the time being. , I will serve as an ordinary Blood Rain Guard first.”
Xu Jingming was surprised when he heard this.
Does Wang Zhenfu’s envoy also value himself?
“You will stay under my command for a few months.” Niu Ti’s torture envoy said, “There is no special task for you. You can patrol around the southern city of the imperial capital to track down wanted criminals! You can also sleep at home. I feel that no one cares about you. In a few months, I will naturally promote you and put you in a more important position." "Thank you, sir." Xu Jingming immediately felt the benefit of having a backer.
Fei Qing and Wang Jiuyan are from the same faction, and they are indeed taken care of everywhere in Nanfu.
"Lao Qi." Niu Tixingshi ordered, "Take Jingming to read the files and learn about the wanted criminals in the imperial capital."
"Yes."
Lao Qi immediately took Xu Jingming to a hall where files were stored. The hall was filled with densely packed bookshelves, and there were countless files on the bookshelves.
“In this world, there are too many wanted criminals in the imperial capital.” Lao Qi limped and said casually, “Many important criminals have taken refuge in some wealthy families, or even in the palace. We ordinary blood How dare Yuwei attack the mansion of a wealthy family?"
Xu Jingming looked at countless files.
"Prince Yan's Mansion, Prince Liang's Mansion, Prince Qi's Mansion..."
"Xueyi Tower, Beggar's Gang, Jiuyin Ancient City, Oiran Palace, Huangquan Gate..."
"Black Lotus Sect, Red Lotus Sect..."
"Shen Gong's family, Fengyu's family, Xiahou's family ..."
Xu Jingming glanced at him.
"Most of the wanted criminals are related to these forces." Lao Qi said, "Key criminals without any background and support would not dare to stay in the imperial capital and would have escaped from the imperial capital long ago. Therefore, there must be sufficient evidence. Only when you have the right opportunity can you catch someone! And sometimes... you have to weigh whether it's worth rushing in and arresting someone."
"Thank you, Brother Qi." Xu Jingming said.
"Please take your time and see what my brother said to thank you." Lao Qi said and turned around to leave.
There are also several Blood Rain Guards in this hall who are checking the information. Xu Jingming’s eyes lit up and he stared at Prince Yan’s Mansion: "I came to mention the Criminal Division, so I came to the right place! Look at the Blood Rain Guards What’s the big difference between the information collected by the official and the information I purchased on the Virtual World Network?”
…
The biggest difference is that the information on the Virtual World Network costs money! The details of just one crown prince, ‘Cheng Yanran’, are one hundred thousand universe coins! There is too much information on all aspects of the Imperial City. If you buy them all, the money spent will be too scary.
"Very good." Pang Ze nodded, "It's a good thing that you can join the Criminal Division. You video-recorded the information about Prince Yan's Mansion, Yicui Tower, and Huangquan Gate."
"Okay." Xu Jingming nodded. .
As a player, you can synchronize video recording of everything you experience in the virtual world.
******
January 6, 2083 was the day to hold a full moon banquet for the daughter of Xu Jingming and his wife.
The full moon banquet can be held within ten days after the full moon. Generally, an auspicious day must be chosen.
"Baby Xu Lixing is also one month old!" Many relatives and friends gathered around the little baby girl who was already able to run happily.
"It's only the full moon, and you can run away." Tu Ling's eyes widened.
Tu Ling and Liu Hai also moved to this community. Since they are so close, they naturally came to attend the full moon banquet.
“The entire Blue Star has entered a new era.” Liu Hai also looked at it with a smile, “Jingming, for your daughter’s name, did you and this girl Li Miaomiao choose the same surname?”
< br>
"Stop talking, I'm thinking too much about the name." Xu Jingming said helplessly, "After choosing over and over again, I decided on the name 'Xu Lixing'."
"Li Xing...Ling Ming" Stars?" Tu Ling said.
Xu Jingming smiled and nodded.
Yes.
On the eve of the end of the protection period of the new civilization, Xu Jingming, the most talented master of the Blue Star Civilization, is naturally under pressure. He also hopes that Blue Star Civilization can usher in its own dawn.
But in fact, once the protection period ends, Blue Star Civilization, as the "bottom" new civilization among countless cosmic civilizations, can easily imagine the difficulties and hardships it will face in the future.
"Master, Sister Tu Ling, I have something to ask you both for help with," Xu Jingming said.
“Can you please help us?” Liu Hai and Tu Ling looked at each other.
“Just ask.”
“I have nothing to do now, I am too busy.”
Liu Hai and Tu Ling both said.
……
Pang Ze’s personal space.
"Now we are recruiting masters of space citizens through the Wanjie Group." Pang Ze said, "It is estimated that we will be able to gather them within three days! In these three days, Liu Hai and Tu Ling, you two will Cooperate with Jing Ming to complete the logistics work.”
"It's about preparing accommodation and weapons and equipment." Xu Jingming explained, "I am familiar with all the three religions and nine streams in the imperial capital. I will arrange everything, but I am not suitable to come forward. I need you two unfamiliar faces to come forward. .”
After all, he had been the captain of the Blood Rain Guards, and many forces in the imperial capital could recognize him.
"Okay." Liu Hai and Tu Ling nodded.
"Then start preparing quickly." Pang Ze said.
*******
Three days later, Pang Ze’s personal space.
After hiding their true identity information, Pang Ze invited all the recruited space citizens to meet. In this huge spaceship hall, more than a hundred space citizens gathered here, wearing different styles.
At this moment, more than a hundred people looked at Pang Ze, Xu Jingming, Liu Hai, and Tu Ling.
Xu Jingming is also observing these people.
"There are three eighth-level beings among them." Xu Jingming was quite curious. After all, it was too difficult for the elementary civilization of the universe to give birth to an eighth-level being.
Whether it is physical or mental, the requirements are extremely high.
Pang Ze said: "Everyone, although I have hired you for one month, in the next month, only at critical times, we will need to enter the world of blood rain. The time required for everyone to act will not exceed ten days. But once I give the order Called, everyone must be online within five minutes."
"The whole process must be recorded on video."
"Okay, now we will divide into teams." Pang Ze waved his hand and stood aside. The avatars of all the citizens of the universe appeared, and they naturally began to divide into teams.
Xu Jingming stood aside, silently looking at the space citizen players in front of him.
Most of the 350 million cosmic coins invested were spent on these people in front of me. This is the price of one month's employment.
The three invited eighth-level lives will each have an actual combat bonus of at least 30 times! The cost of hiring them reaches 35 million universe coins per person per month! To be able to become an eighth-level being, one's mind has reached a very terrifying level. Having such an expert in charge is also the key to the plan.
“Eighth-level beings can earn tens of millions of cosmic coins every month, which is really incomparable between people.” Xu Jingming secretly said, “But theirs is also a short-term contract, and the expenses of eighth-level lives are It’s also big, and the taxes are high...it’s not easy either.”
We also invited 60 people with actual combat bonuses of at least 10 times, that is, first-class experts! The employment price is 3 million universe coins per person per month. This is also the bulk of the hiring and the main force of the operation.
A first-rate master can easily deal with three or five second-rate masters.
If ten first-class masters join forces! It can easily kill hundreds of second-rate masters, and the formation formed by the second-rate masters will be easily destroyed.
We also invited 100 people with actual combat bonuses of at least 5 times, that is, second-rate masters. This is very common, after all, sixth-level beings generally have such strength. The employment price is 250,000 universe coins per person per month.
Of course, you have to pay the ‘intermediary fee’ of the Wanjie Group. At the same time, you have to buy information, weapons and equipment, etc. with the remaining money.
"In a place like the Imperial Capital, there are few masters, and it is too easy for variables to occur." Xu Jingming secretly said, "The deterrent effect is strong with so many masters! But... the cost of hiring is also astonishing."< br>
When you hire them, you have to ensure that you make at least 500 million a month to avoid losing money, because you have to pay taxes every year.
Every income from Virtual World Network must be taxed! Virtual World Network records that there is no way to evade taxes, so the pressure to hire is naturally very high.
...
The world of blood rain, the imperial capital.
In the evening at Yicui Tower, lanterns are hung high, reflecting the area around Yicui Tower into a city that never sleeps. A large number of luxurious carriages and escort teams are outside Yicui Tower.
One after another, noble princes, wealthy businessmen, and officials entered Yicui Tower.
“What a Yicui Tower.” Pang Ze shook his fan and looked at the fairyland-like Yicui Tower in front of him. “It is worthy of being one of the top three places for fireworks enjoyment in the imperial capital. It is a first-class gold-selling cave. It is also the biggest source of wealth for the Yan Palace in the imperial capital!”
Yicui Tower occupies a large area and has beautiful architecture. Under the light, it looks like a fairy palace.
There are numerous black-clad guards on the periphery, guarding Yicui Tower tightly. Inside Yicui Tower, there are also some green-clad guards in inconspicuous corners to ensure the safety of the entire Yicui Tower. .
"Your welcome."
Pang Ze came alone and was greeted warmly.
The guards of Yicui Tower glanced at Pang Ze but did not stop him.
"The rules of Yicui Tower are that all guests are not allowed to bring weapons when they come in." Pang Ze glanced at it and understood in his heart, "But this rule is not enforced too strictly. It is enough to not bring weapons on the surface, but there is a dagger hidden secretly. They won’t search for hidden weapons.”
Pang Ze also noticed the guests walking in the corridor.
"In Yicui Tower, there are five hundred guards in black, one hundred guards in green, and fifty secret guards in the dark. It is said that the weakest ones are second-rate masters. As expected of the Yan Palace in The largest source of wealth in the imperial capital, this guard force is strong enough.”
"The annual hiring fee for so many guards is at least 300,000 taels of silver."
Although Pang Ze had received the information early, he could explore it personally, but his feeling was even stronger, observing the interior of Yicui Tower The layout and plans are also being slightly revised.
...
While Pang Ze was investigating in Yicui Building, Xu Jingming came to a branch of Qisha Building.
A secluded inn.
Xu Jingming, wearing a bamboo hat mask, arrived here, looked at the shopkeeper, showed his order, and was taken into the secret hall of the inn.
In the secret hall, there are also several guests whose identities are hidden.
"I'll take this mission." Xu Jingming opened the thick book and pointed to the mission on one page. It was the mission offering a bounty of 32,600 taels to the Crown Prince of Yan Palace, 'Cheng Yanran'.
"The mission lasts for half a month." said the Qishalou staff, "and his left ear or head is required for verification."
Xu Jingming handed over his token.
Qishalou staff recorded it immediately. After recording, they returned the killer token to Xu Jingming.
"Thirty-two thousand six hundred taels." Xu Jingming looked at the bounty amount, "As long as you get the bounty, you can ensure that you won't lose too much."
"Someone is planning to assassinate the Crown Prince of Prince Yan again. The money is really touching people's hearts." The Qishalou staff watched Xu Jingming leave and shook their heads slightly, "No one has ever completed the reward of tens of thousands of taels of silver. Thinking about it, I know it's not that big. Easy.”
Xu Jingming walked out of the inn and looked at the night.
"Tomorrow is the time to take action." Xu Jingming's heart was burning. (End of this chapter)
