Wasteland Code Survival Chapter 31: Reject
As soon as Qi Lin walked in, the walnut door was closed behind him.
This is a huge room with a size of more than 100 square meters. There are several long tables. On the tables are piles of old paper books. A warm fire is burning in the corner to disperse them. The cold and damp in the basement.
A tall and thin figure was sitting on a chair by the fire. Hearing the movement, he got up and turned around.
This is a man with a cold expression, with orchid fingers on his left hand, and his long nails occasionally gently scraping his pointed jaw. He is wearing an old-time vintage dress, but even if this clothes is washed No matter how clean it is, it still can't hide the obvious crumbing marks of the fabric fibers on the neckline and cuffs.
The ID on the top of this man's head is "Bryce", not the ID "Thunder" of the legendary Thunder City Lord.
is it a trap? However, Qi Lin immediately rejected this idea. If this dragon sees the city’s head and tail is not good to him, he doesn’t have to spend so much effort to fool himself here. It’s just the six that stood on the fortress outside. A tube-mounted cannon is enough to tear Qi Lin into pieces.
"Who are you? Don't you say that Thunder City mainly sees me?" Qi Lin saw this sissy Bryce turned around, and immediately asked straightaway.
"Tsk tsk, don’t the guys from the low-level residential areas know what etiquette is? I’m one of the twelve stewards of Lord Santos. Lord Santos, such a powerful person who can manage everything is not something you can see , You'd better have a clear judgment about your status." Bryce glanced at Qi Lin, and said in a tone of anger, disgust, and disgust.
"I also trouble you to figure out that the city lord invited me here. If nothing happens, then I'm leaving!" For this kind of guy who likes to pretend and has nostrils, Qi Lin naturally doesn't bother to give it to him. Look good.
"Uncultivated stuff! I will tell the city lord that the inferior people are always inferior, but unfortunately the city lord still intends to give you a chance. Now there is still a vacancy for the captain of the guard in Thunder City. If you can change your stink Mouth, maybe I will show mercy to let you stay."
"The captain of the guard?" Qi Lin understood it, dare to think that this was because of his own combat power and planned to "recruit security"? It's just that he didn't have the idea of joining a big organization. He was controlled by others and he didn't plan to play the role of working for others. What's more, the sissy in front of him felt that it was a kind of charity to be a guard.
"I am not interested."
"I'm not interested? Do you know what you are talking about? The right to live in the rich area, the abundance of supplies... things that many people can't dream of..." Bryce seemed to be stepped on his tail. Angrily said, "Don't think that you can kill Los Angeles Wind. In the eyes of Lord City Lord, Los Angeles Wind is just a jumping clown!"
"Oh, what about then?"
"I don't know how high the sky is! Believe it or not, as long as you get out of this bunker, you will be surrounded and killed immediately. Although the 30,000 resource points are only a small number, we don't mind taking the money!"
"If you are willing to exchange your 30,000 points for the reputation of your Lord City Lord, then I am not wronged, am I?" If Qi Lin was a little angry at first, then now, he is only left wondering Now, this kind of guy who looks like a silly X at first glance, how could he be chosen by the Thunder City master as a steward?
Like that kind of big man, maybe he won't be a good person, but he is definitely not a fool.
, people like don’t know how strong their ability to do things, but their ability to do things is absolutely top-notch. How can such a person recruit a strong outsider, unless the other party’s servility is deeply rooted, even if Those who are willing to stay will definitely not be faithful to give their lives to Thunder City.
"You--!"
"Okay, Bryce, you go down." Bryce's voice became sharper, and he seemed to want to say something, but was interrupted by a sudden low male voice.
Qi Lin was startled in a cold sweat. Only now did he notice that there was a third person in this room besides Bryce and himself.
That person has been sitting in the shadow of the room, but with Qi Lin’s perception, he knew that while he was speaking, he had not noticed the existence of the other party!
"Yes, Lord City Lord." Bryce, whose words were interrupted, did not get angry, but bowed very respectfully into the shadows, and then retreated.
"Sir Lord?...So, you are Thunder?" Qi Lin looked into the shadows, and he found that only when he concentrated 12 points of attention could he barely see one in the shadows The fuzzy silhouette of the human figure sits on a luxurious sofa.
Invisible Cloak? Or what optical camouflage device?
Or to say that the other party is not in the room at all, but is talking to him remotely through what technological means. All this is pretending to be mysterious?
"Yes, young people have backbone, courage, and good brains." A voice of appreciation came from the shadow.
"So, all this was just a temptation?"
Qi Lin understood a little bit. If he had been humiliated by Bryce just now and agreed to the other party’s terms, even if he stayed in Thunder City, he would probably not be valued. In the eyes of this city lord, I am afraid that at best, he is just a somewhat capable servant.
"If you think it's a temptation, it's a temptation--but Bryce's words are correct. As long as you agree to stay, I can give you permanent residency in the wealthy area in reality."
The right to permanent residence in the rich area. If these eight characters are lost in a slum area or any place in the middle area, countless people will rob their heads, and Qi Lin’s breathing will change when the other person says this. It's getting a little heavy~IndoMTL.com~ But reason still makes his mind extremely clear, and he asks: "Then staying, does it mean that my life is sold to you?"
"Your life is very valuable, far more valuable than those 30,000 resource points. I won't let you die easily." Thunder replied.
"It’s not easy to let me die...that is, when the benefits are higher than my value, I will still be used as a bargaining chip, or a **** that can be sacrificed, right?"
"……"
Thunder was silent for a while, and then said: "You are indeed very smart, but, young man, I want to tell you, everyone has a price, including mine, the same."
"Then can I refuse?"
"Yes."
……
When Qi Lin came out of that room, he found that Bryce was still waiting outside, but this time, he didn't say anything harsh to Qi Lin.
"You refused?"
"Rejected."
"Hey--" Bryce gave Qi Lin a somewhat complicated look, but stopped talking, then shook his head and called a guard, "Send him back to the ground."
Qi Lin didn’t think about agreeing. He knew that the thunder’s energy was great. Perhaps it was the kind of super boss who could change the rules of the refuge. If he agreed, the benefits would never be the permanent residence of a wealthy area alone. Qualified, but he still chose to refuse.
Someone once said to him something similar to Thunder: "In the eyes of others, the life of every mercenary is clearly marked."
is just this sentence, and the second half.
"Only in your own heart, or in the eyes of someone you can entrust, your life is priceless."
