Chapter 3: : delegate
Luo Ning handed a cup of hot coffee to the man, then sat down against the edge of the table and asked, "What's the matter?"
The man held up the coffee cup with both hands, took a sip shiveringly, barely calmed down, and said in a trembling voice, "Those monsters are back, right in the forest, Luo, Mr. Rhodes didn't kill them all! "
"monster?"
"Yes, monster!"
The man clutched the coffee cup tightly and told Ronin with a horrified expression: "I, I am the owner of a small logging farm, about two years ago, when I was patrolling the forest, I met those monsters, they looked like Similar to humans, but with gray-white skin, no hair on his body, and blood-red claws growing on his hands, like a corpse that has just crawled out of a tomb..."
"At that time, I was in the forest with one of my work groups, and these monsters suddenly rushed out and attacked us. Charlie, Harvey, and Walker were all dead, their claws tore their throats and stomachs. , eat it little by little!"
This nightmare-like memory made the man cover his face involuntarily, and continued to narrate while suppressing his crying: "After they were full, they dragged me into a lair, just when I thought I was going to be eaten by those monsters. When it fell, Mr. Rhodes appeared."
"Mr. Rhode killed the monsters in the lair and rescued me, and then went into the forest to look for other monsters. After a week, he came back and found me and said that those monsters have been eliminated by him, but may be If there is any omission, if it appears, come here to find him."
"It turned out to be so."
Luo Ning returned to the seat, looked at the man, smiled and asked, "Sir, what should I call you?"
"Matthew, my name is Matthew!"
The man put down his hands and stared at Ronin with red eyes: "Please, you must destroy those monsters."
Luo Ning smiled and said, "Of course, but before that, we need to talk about compensation first."
"Remuneration?"
"That's right, the reward."
Ronin nodded and said with a smile: "According to what you just said, Mr. Matthew, the monsters entrenched in the forest should be Wendigo snow monsters. They first appeared in the ancient Indian legends, and they are human-like monsters. The monster that mutated after eating is strong and agile, and it is a bit tricky to handle, so I need to charge five thousand dollars..."
"Five thousand dollars?"
Hearing this number, Matthew, who made Ronin's attitude a little nervous, immediately breathed a sigh of relief and said, "No problem, I can pay now."
Luo Ning shook his head and said with a smile, "I mean five thousand each, not all five thousand!"
"This…"
Although he was frightened, the sensitive instinct of the businessman still made Matthew hesitate about the price: "Will it be too expensive?"
Ronin didn't care about this, and explained patiently: "Sir, hunters also have to live, every time we hunt, we bear the danger of death, the loss of weapons, and the possibility of breaking the law, so we charge some The cost is a very reasonable thing, don't you think?"
"This... okay!"
Although it hurts a bit, Ronin said so, and Matthew couldn't bargain any more, so he could only forcefully say: "As long as those monsters can be eliminated, how much money doesn't matter. When can we leave?"
Luo Ning smiled and did not answer, but threw a somewhat inexplicable question: "Then, Mr. Matthew, do you want to hand over the task to our firm according to this agreement?"
"?"
Although some didn't understand why Ronin asked such an unnecessary question, Matthew couldn't care less, and immediately nodded, "Yes, of course!"
Quest Generation: Ghouls in the Forest!
Mission introduction: In the cold winter of lack of food, hungry and ferocious terrifying creatures appeared in the forest. Wendigo snow monsters, who gained extraordinary power by hunting humans, will now become your prey.
Quest reward: 50 reputation, 200 experience, first-order office special building X1 (random)
After several days of research, Luo Ning found that his system was a very ritualistic system. Luo Ning had to reach a formal agreement with the client before it would generate the corresponding tasks, just like a contract ceremony.
Fortunately, it does not need to hand over any soul, as long as the two parties have a formal agreement, even if it is just verbal, the task will be generated, which can be said to be quite simple.
"please follow me."
When the mission was generated, Luo Ning stopped talking nonsense, greeted Matthew who was still a little uneasy, got up and walked to the weapon room.
This weapon room is the most important place in the office at present. It stores all Luo Ning's net worth and weapons and equipment. Unfortunately, it has not been recognized by the system and is not a special building of the office, so there is no attribute effect or special effect. .
"Sir, this..."
Looking at the empty room in front of him, Matthew was a little puzzled, but Luo Ning didn't explain. He went straight to the south wall and supported the cold stone wall with both hands. With a rumbling sound, a dark and deep underground entrance appeared. in front of Matthew.
This is a stone gate, a stone gate that requires a lot of strength to open. There is no mechanism, and it can only be opened by relying on this physical strength. In the entire Xiaohaitian community, there are only two people who can meet the needs of this strength. , that is Ronin and his father.
The bodybuilding techniques inherited by the Luo family can exercise the body to a certain extent and gain physique and strength beyond ordinary people. Luo Ning is the best example. After more than ten years of exercise, his physique is extremely strong, the physique of an ordinary adult man. , Agility, and mental attributes are basically around six or seven points, while his average is above ten points, and the gap can be seen in general.
Because of this, this stone gate has become the biggest guarantee of family property. The valuable things are basically stored in the weapon room behind the stone gate, and all the outside are decorations. It can’t be sold for a few dollars if it is emptied, and people can even steal it. no desire.
Of course, the deterrent power of Roche and his son is also an important factor for thieves to dare not touch the door. Otherwise, those poor and crazy guys might have the possibility of evacuating this office.
"come in!"
"This…"
After Shimen was pushed open, what appeared in front of him was not the weapons room, but a slightly deep staircase. Matthew was a little scared, but he didn't dare to say no to Luo Ning, so he could only bite the bullet and go in.
"Snapped!"
A soft sound seemed to be the sound of a switch, and the horse who had just stepped off the stone steps corrected himself strangely when he saw a blue light shining on the top of his head, and there were many old and complicated patterns and lines on the walls on the left and right sides. With a mysterious and eerie atmosphere.
"Luo, Mr. Ronin?"
This scene made Matthew, who was already worried, frightened, and quickly turned around to look for Ronin's figure, only to find that he was standing behind him, holding a very aggressive silver pistol in his hand.
The black muzzle of the gun made Matthew's legs go weak, and instantly collapsed to the ground, screaming in horror, "You, what are you going to do...!"
In this regard, Ronin was unmoved, and the muzzle did not mean to deflect until...
"It's not a shapeshifter, it's not a vampire, it's not a werewolf, it's not possessed by demons, it's not possessed by angels, the salt and iron don't respond, the silver stripes don't respond, and the Banishing Charm and the cross are okay, um... It's a person, no problem! "
After confirming that everything was normal, Ronin put the pistol back into the pistol pocket, stepped forward to help the panicked Matthew, and said with a chuckle, "Don't be afraid, this is just an insurance testing procedure."
"Insurance, insurance inspection?"
"Yes, insurance inspection!"
Luo Ning nodded, UU reading www.uukanshu. com said with a smile: "There are many monsters in this world that can disguise as humans, so we have to be a little cautious about strangers, I hope you can understand."
"It turned out to be like this..."
Hearing this, Matthew breathed a sigh of relief. He supported his still weak body and said with a wry smile, "Before you come in, you should tell me so that I can prepare myself mentally."
"I made a mistake, sorry."
Luo Ning smiled, stopped talking about this topic, and said, "The weapons room is down below, we'll get our equipment and go. Let's go."
Ronin said so, what else could Matthew say, he had to suppress the dissatisfaction and shock in his heart, and followed him to the weapons room at the end of the stairs.
In addition to storing weapons and equipment, this weapon room also functions as a shelter and a safe house. For this reason, the Roche father and son can be said to spare no effort and put most of their savings into it and build it according to the specifications of the bank vault.
The final result is that this underground building whose main body is deconstructed from reinforced concrete and has excellent anti-seismic and explosion-proof performance, is installed with a large number of salt iron plates, holy silver patterns, crosses, and exorcism spells for angels and demons and some uncertainties. A protective rune with no effect.
Basically, as long as it works, Roche and his son use it, but it doesn't necessarily work. For the sake of insurance, they also use it.
Pushing open the heavy salt-iron door, Ronin walked into the weapons room, followed by Matthew, who suffered another shock.
The walls, tables, and even the corners are full of weapons, bows, firearms, daggers, knives, cold weapons, hot weapons, everything, and the styles and models are different. Some of the classic series seem to All can be displayed in a museum.
