Gunfire, Punk and Necromancer

"What are you going to do if you mess up? Just walk away and go back to recuperate?"

The man who spoke was called Alek. He had eight implants but no nickname. He was aggressive but uneducated. He had some cunning ideas but no foresight. It's a waste of time to argue with him here, but falling into his trap is not only a waste of time but also looks stupid.

"If I ignore you and choose to turn around and leave, you can take the opportunity to isolate me; if I am provoked by you or take advantage of you, I have to make a bet with you. If I say, 'If something goes wrong with me, I will pay for it,' it is equivalent to giving me You bought insurance. When I ask you how you plan to bet, you will use the reason that your reputation in the mercenary world is not as good as mine, and choose a bet that suits you. Dear Alek, you have ignored a question: I don’t need to be worthy of you, I just need to be worthy of my salary.”

Alek's face twitched a few times, but it was thick enough so it didn't fall off. He responded: "What you said is beautiful, but..."

"As long as you're beautiful, I don't need to listen to your 'but'. Get some grades before we talk, and come to me after you get a nickname." Zhuang Xuteng stopped looking at him, lest he think he was so important. "According to the regional distribution of entrusted tasks, I am responsible for the security near the front entrance of the office area. Everyone has a communication channel dedicated to the task and can report the situation to each other at any time."

The meeting with other mercenaries did not go smoothly, which was a bit beyond Zhuang Xuteng's expectations, but the situation was acceptable, at least it did not get out of control. He originally thought that now that jobs are hard to find, everyone would cheer up, cherish job opportunities more, and work together to get things done, instead of always having a tendency to fight among themselves.

Even from another perspective, if Zhuang Xuteng is just starting out and has no reputation yet, and an already famous mercenary joins the mission, he is from his own side and has the same mission goal, then he will not only welcome him, but also try to build a good relationship with him , look for opportunities to learn some experience to improve yourself. It's a pity that he really can't embed reality with his own ideas, thinking that everyone else is the same as him.

"Naike, think about the mission!" Zhuang Xuteng patted his cheek gently, cheered up, and began to observe the area he was responsible for. The Fengchi Stadium is located in Shangcheng District. It was formerly a 22-story hotel next to a junior high school. Because he made a lot of money in the speculation business, he bought part of the school land, took the gymnasium next to it into his pocket, and transformed it into A mixed martial arts center was built and events began.

The success of the event in turn boosted hotel business, and those who were excited after watching the game always needed a place to vent their excitement. As a result, the entire school was bought, each classroom was turned into a single room for striptease performances, and the large room in the library was converted into a casino. The original office building is still an office building now, but the main business has changed from education to finance, and it has become a place where money gathers.

The office building has three floors, with sixteen rooms on each floor. There are three entrances and two stairs in the front and rear. The staff here wear uniforms and have nameplates on their chests, which is relatively easy to identify. Zhuang Xuteng put on a red and white vertical striped vest specially designed for outside security personnel, and hung an access identification tag around his neck so that he could be allowed to approach the office building.

These security rules come from the Fengchi Stadium's own security department. The director, Jolt Bawe, is a very serious and strong man with a military background. His arms and one leg are shadow combat prostheses. This shows that he has been injured in combat, and the army considers his experience and skills to be very valuable and needs to continue serving, so it will install expensive combat prosthetics on him and return to the battlefield. Such a veteran is definitely the treasure of the army, but Fengchi's boss has enough money and connections to poach him, which is a very good result in re-employment.

Jolt has a fixed security team of thirty-five people. When the pressure of the competition is relatively high, forty to fifty people will be temporarily added to the team. Jolt admitted that the core backbone of security is still the thirty-five people. The rest can only do some auxiliary services and help maintain order, and they will definitely not be able to handle emergencies.

"The fifteen people sent by Moat Security can be regarded as emergency aid. Their level is equivalent to the thirty-five people before me. I can take care of more key areas." Ruoert was quite confident in his own people. Zhuang Xuteng listened for the time being. , declined to comment. "But this time the situation is different. The Blood Bat Gang may attack us, and we lack the experience to fight against the Blood Bat Gang. I heard from above that you and Ge Gongdao were once enemies of the Blood Bat Gang and had many dealings with them. ?”

Zhuang Xuteng waved his hand gently and told the truth: "Ge Gongdao was betrayed. The traitor was a mercenary and later joined the Blood Bat Gang. We have no deep hatred against the Blood Bat Gang, we are only targeting the traitor and deserter."

"But you did deal with the Blood Bat Gang."

Zhuang Xuteng smiled and said: "If you want to seek some kind of comfort from me, then I admit that we have dealt with the Blood Bat Gang. However, I will not use this as a reference for experience. Instead, I will start everything over and be prepared for all possibilities. New situation.”

"That's great!" A brief smile finally appeared on Jolt's serious face. He stretched out his prosthetic right hand, placed it in front of Zhuang Xuteng, and said: "You are so vigilant, which means that the recommendation to you is completely correct. If anything happens, I am on Channel 7, please contact me in time."

Zhuang Xuteng shook hands, and his palm was immediately wrapped in a powerful shadow energy. From this point of view, the quality of Yingcong's prosthetic arm is quite good, but I don't know if it has other functions besides the natural arm's grasp.

You can just think about this kind of secret related to combat effectiveness, but you definitely can't ask directly. After Ruote left, Zhuang Xuteng first walked around the office building several times, pointed out several problems with the angle of the surveillance cameras and the distance between the building and the wall, and made suggestions for improvements to the hotel's equipment department. At the same time, he opened the Wraith Jelly, tested his ability to sense the coverage, found the position where the coverage volume could reach the maximum, moved a chair, and sat in that position.

This location is under the corner window on the 1.5th floor of the stairwell on the east side of the office building. Through the window, his sight could cover the open space in front of the building and see almost everyone who came and went. At the same time, Wraith Jelly can also take care of the back of the building, just enough to "touch" the top of the three-meter-high wall. If someone tried to read it, he would not be able to escape his perception.

If he wanted to, the Wraith Jelly could penetrate every room in the office building. Except for places that are completely airtight and leave no gaps, Zhuang Xuteng can sense every corner of the building and know what everyone is doing and saying. The activities here have no secrets from him.

Being able to cover such a large area is due to Zhuang Xuteng's continuous hard training. Except for the week when he was unconscious, Zhuang Xuteng could not exercise every day in the hospital. Apart from going to the Stone Pillar Hall to study and talk to the Lich Master, he could only lie in bed to practice his magic and strengthen the Wraith Servants.

Hospitals are originally places where grievances are concentrated, especially Peicheng Second Hospital, which is famous for its implant business. The side effects of implants can also be converted into grievances, which provides Zhuang Xuteng with a sufficient source of grievances. First extend the tentacles of the resentful spirit, and then use the dormant martial arts. Using those tentacles as additional absorbers, Zhuang Xuteng can fill up the resentment every day and replenish the consumption of training.

This allowed him to make rapid progress in the necromantic arts of the wraith system.

There are sufficient raw materials, the best spell guidance, and the most powerful motivation to practice - I don't want to get bored. Now, the maximum coverage volume of the Wraith Jelly has reached a radius of thirty meters. At this distance, he can sense moving objects larger than a mouse, hear sounds of more than 40 decibels, and touch shadow energy of green or higher quality.

To put it simply: Anyone who brings a gun in will be discovered by Zhuang Xuteng.

If the Wraith Spirit Jelly is shrunk, Zhuang Xuteng can exchange the warning distance for acuity. When the Wraith Jelly shrinks to a radius of twenty meters, he can feel the movement of flies and mosquitoes and other creatures, and can even crush them directly with the Wraith's tentacles. Within this radius, he can use super-computing martial arts of about four dodges, which is enough for him to avoid the ghost energy bullets that have been aimed at him and have tracking capabilities - provided that the number does not exceed three.

If you continue to compress the Wraith Jelly and shrink it to within ten meters, it can fully support the super-computing martial arts in the seven-dodge state. Before being hospitalized, Zhuang Xuteng's best score in the same state was three meters, which meant that he could only use Wraith Jelly to perform Seven Flashes at close range. Beyond three meters, he had to use hearing, vision and skin touch.

Since Wraith Jelly is a sense that transcends ordinary people, it has little to do with light, noise, and the medium it is in. It can even be used in a vacuum, which greatly enhances Zhuang Xuteng's vigilance ability. Therefore, the combination of "capable of supporting all martial arts" and "maximum sensing range" formed the "absolute warning range", which was Zhuang Xuteng's home field where he could best display his skills.

If it continues to be compressed inward, the enhancement effect of the Wraith Jelly on perception will not be obvious, and at the same time, it will suffer because the warning distance will become smaller. But if you change the operation method, that is, reduce the amount of mana and resentment provided to the Wraith Jelly, you can maintain the perception effect and reduce the range, while leaving more mana for other uses, such as the Wraith Protection with Bone Shield as the core. First.

Using all the resentment for protection, he can superimpose sixteen resentful servants in his body and use them to absorb damage. According to the simple calculations of the Lich Master, consuming four resentful spirit servants can reduce the blunt weapon damage suffered by Zhuang Xuteng by half. The stacking of sixteen resentful spirit servants, under the influence of the marginal effect, can probably reduce the blunt weapon damage to one eighth.

This effect is quite terrifying, equivalent to the fact that with the support of unlimited mana and resentful spirits, Zhuang Xuteng is almost not afraid of any fists. However, no one can have unlimited mana and vengeful spirits, and they don’t even dare to explode the superimposed vengeful spirit servants just to share a single damage.

The ability to continue sharing is actually more important. Without losing the number of wraith servants and only consuming mana, Zhuang Xuteng can reduce blunt damage by half, and reduce cutting and puncture injuries by one-third and one-fourth respectively. However, Zhuang Xuteng also has bone shield technology and titanium alloy forged bones to resist puncture injuries. Overall, he is actually less tolerant of cutting injuries.

The good news is: Zhuang Xuteng is very good at using super-calculated martial arts to avoid cutting wounds; the bad news is: he can't really use all his resentment for defense, which will make him lose the perception advantage of the resentful spirit jelly.

With only three meters of Wraith Jelly, he can support ten times the stack at the same time. The consumption and recovery of Wraiths and mana are still in a balanced state. As long as the Wraith Jelly is larger than twenty meters, he must give up extra defense in order to maintain balance. If you open the Wraith Jelly to its fullest extent and rely solely on your own mana, it can only last for a dozen hours at most. He needs to find additional sources of wraiths, such as various shadow followers and side effects within this range.

While on duty, Zhuang Xuteng continued to practice and began to try to establish a cycle. He discovered that he could use dormant martial arts to transfer his fatigue and damage to the users of Safety Blue, triggering their various health monitoring and medical implant tasks. The work of the implant will produce side effects, which Zhuang Xuteng converts into resentment and absorbs it, thereby replenishing his own consumption.

This is already pretty good positive feedback, but it has a further application: using resentment to hurt yourself first, and then transferring it to others, thereby further strengthening the process.

Injuring yourself sounds a bit masochistic, but in fact all exercise and cultivation require you to constantly approach or even break through your own limits. This process is uncomfortable and it is hurting yourself, so you can apply this process. In other words, Zhuang Xuteng can pass on all the side effects of his practice to the people around him, as long as that person uses safety blue.

Let others bear all the damage, and let yourself enjoy the fruits of cultivation. Are all necromancers so happy?

In this regard, Master Lich can only confess: Necromancer can indeed practice in this way, but he cannot do it like Zhuang Xuteng. As long as there are many people around, Zhuang Xuteng can continue to cycle without any side effects. No necromancer can achieve this efficiency. Master Lich was also sure that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong at the moment.

"Since no problem has been found, let's try to find the problem while taking advantage of this convenience to practice." Master Lich's opinion spoke to Zhuang Xuteng's heart. You can practice while working, which couldn't be more enjoyable. Anyway, Zhuang Xuteng couldn't show the fact that his body had basically recovered in front of others, so he just kept sitting and practicing with everyone.

From day to night, except for going to the bathroom and buying food at random times, Zhuang Xuteng sat at the corner of the stairs on the first and a half floors, staring at the open space in front of the office building. Although everyone has doubts about the effect of what he did, they have to admire his patience. For three days in a row, Zhuang Xuteng maintained this state. In addition to practicing, he also carefully recorded almost every person entering and leaving the office building, imprinting their appearance and gait in his mind. That's not to say that this information will definitely come in handy, he just uses it to exercise his memory.

For five days, nothing happened on the surface, but in fact people from the Blood Bat Gang came several times. They used their clothes to cover up their gang tattoos, disguised themselves as casino players or lost residents, and peered into the office building. They thought their disguise was good enough, but Wraith Jelly didn't care whether the clothes covered the tattoo. It relied on "touching" and could penetrate into narrow spaces that were inaccessible to the head from angles that the naked eye could not reach, bringing Zhuang Xuteng with him. Come to real information.

Not to mention things like tattoos, Zhuang Xuteng even knew whose breasts were real and who had implants within a thirty-meter radius around him.

The information about these spies was secretly reported to Ruoert, who caught it right away and gradually increased his trust in Zhuang Xuteng.
