The deputy leader's workroom did not have the joyous and festive scene in the square outside at the moment. On the contrary, there was a depressive atmosphere in the air.
As soon as Ding Meng walked in, a smile appeared on Slyman's originally serious face: "Brother Ding is here. Come on, let me introduce you. This is Bai Le, the deputy leader of our Green Arrow headquarters."
Only then did Ding Meng notice that in addition to Slayman, deputy captain Gu Lajia and Yu Liang, there were two strangers in the room, a man and a woman.
The man seemed to be about the same age as Slimane. Although he had a kind-hearted appearance, there was a vague dignity that was not easy to detect. He was obviously a person who was accustomed to giving orders, and he must be a high-ranking figure from the headquarters.
Bai Le's attitude was very friendly, and he reached out his hand and said, "Is this little brother Ding? It's such a pleasure to meet you. Captain Gu Jala and Captain Slayman have mentioned you to me more than once. The K8 series Dead Star mission
Thank you so much for your help. On behalf of our Green Arrow Corps, I would like to express my most sincere gratitude to you..."
When the big shots from the headquarters came to this remote and remote branch base, it was obviously not just for the purpose of transporting supplies. As expected, after a simple introduction, Bai Le put away his smile and said seriously:
"Actually, I came here mainly because I had one thing to deal with. Half a month ago, the headquarters received a bounty mission. The goal was to retrieve a test mixture for the employer from the Blue Pole Star City of the Holy Glory Federation. The reward was 200,000 stars.
currency……"
He only finished half of what he said, but Ding Meng and others were all moved.
Under normal circumstances, the starting price of low-level missions for bounty hunters is 1,000 star coins. After all, the cost of dispatching spaceships and manpower is not small.
5,000 star coins is the first hurdle, which is relatively difficult. You often have to go to very harsh areas to help people find rare resources or various strange things, which is quite time-consuming and labor-intensive.
The mission of 10,000 star coins is a watershed. This level of mission is very difficult and has a certain degree of danger. If you want to take it, you must be mentally prepared, as it is very likely that you will never return.
Now Bai Le opened his mouth and asked for 200,000 star coins. To a certain extent, this task is definitely not for people like Slyman to worry about. The branch base does not have the strength to take over at all. It is very likely that the headquarters will take over it personally.
.
The problem is here, "retrieving a test mixture" will cost 200,000 star coins, and it still enters the federal territory, so the value of this reagent may not be small, so Bai Le revealed it in just a few sentences
A huge amount of information.
Bai Le continued: "The mission went smoothly. The reagent was obtained by Captain Yu Yixiao from our headquarters. However, on the way back, the reagent was unfortunately lost..."
Yu Liang seemed confused: "We are also taking a spaceship to return home, how could we lose it?"
Slyman's eyes flashed and he muttered: "I'm afraid it wasn't lost, but that it was switched or stolen."
Bai Le nodded with a heavy face: "After many checks, we found that the reagent was indeed stolen, and we also found out that the person who stole it was 'Nightmare'."
"Nightmare" Dinmen may not know it yet, but Slyman and others have heard of his name for a long time. This guy nicknamed "Nightmare" is a very famous thief in outer space. He comes and goes without a trace. No one knows.
As for his background, no one has seen his true face. This person is active among the forces of the major corps, and he also belongs to the category of "getting paid to do things."
Why is it called "Nightmare"?
It's because once one of your good things is spotted by him, your nightmare will come, and over time the nickname "Nightmare" will be spread.
Bai Le's face was solemn: "After our various investigations, Nightmare did not steal this reagent, but sent it elsewhere through layers of transfers."
Sliman frowned and said, "Sent to where?"
Bai Le's expression was ugly: "As far as we know so far, the reagent is now in the hands of Huang Long, the deputy leader of the Sirius Mercenary Group."
Not only did he look ugly this time, but so did Slyman and others, because the Green Arrow Corps and the Sirius Mercenary Group had never dealt with them, so it was basically impossible to get them back.
In fact, this Sirius mercenary group not only has a bad relationship with the Green Arrow Corps, but also has a bad relationship with all the corps forces in outer space.
The Sirius Corps is very close to the KV303 star, but they have always been solitary and do not usually accept missions from outer space forces. The employers behind them are mostly sects or consortia of the Holy Glory Federation. It is said that they have contacts with big forces. To put it bluntly,
Because it has a high-level background in the Federation, the Corps has always maintained an aloof and aloof attitude, and is like an independent kingdom among the forces of the Corps.
To put it simply, you don’t need to give face to the Sirius Corps, because they never deal with others. The problem is that the reagent is now in their hands, and they have to deal with it even if they don’t deal with it.
Usually, a bounty hunter loses an item specified by his employer. According to the agreement on the dark web, if he cannot find it back within the specified time, he will have to pay compensation according to the price.
Bai Le said: "The price of compensation is 1.25 million star coins. It's not that our Corps cannot afford to pay the money, but it's just a small matter..."
He didn't explain his words, but Dinmen could still understand what he meant. Losing money is a trivial matter, but reputation is a big deal. The Green Arrow Corps has a good reputation and they cherish their feathers. If the employer's valuables are in the hands of Green Arrow,
If it is lost, the ability value and credit value of all Green Arrow hunters on the dark web will be greatly reduced. This loss is so large that it cannot be measured in terms of money. Therefore, this reagent must be recovered.
According to Green Arrow's usual style of conduct, it is conducted in a polite, peaceful and friendly manner.
Yu Liang couldn't help it anymore: "Sir Bai Le, didn't our headquarters send someone to communicate with them?"
When Bai Le's face was mentioned, his face became even more ugly: "We Green Arrow are willing to buy back this reagent at a high price of 1.4 million star coins. This is the message that the head of the group personally sent to Sirius, but the other party
I refused straight away."
The price of 1.4 million star coins is already a huge loss for this mission, and the head of the group's personal contact with no results, which means there is no room for negotiation at all.
"That's why Miss Dai Yi came here this time, planning to go to the Zhifan Galaxy to lobby for reagents for our Green Arrow Corps." Bai Le finally got to the point.
Only then did Ding Meng notice the other person on the sofa in the distance. She was a rather eye-catching woman. She looked young. A set of black and light green interstellar tight-fitting clothes outlined the curves of her whole body.
Incomparably, she sat lazily on the sofa, stretching out a pair of slender legs tightly wrapped in black stockings.
Just seeing these legs, Yu Liang couldn't help but make a few cooing sounds in his throat. These almost flawless beautiful legs are really fascinating and have a soul-stirring charm.
The woman's black and smooth silk hair hangs down on her shoulders, setting off a beautiful face. She and Lan Bing'er have one thing in common, that is, they are cool and noble, but the difference between her and Lan Bing'er is that she
She doesn't have the "cold" temperament of Lan Bing'er, because her chin is raised very high and there is a haughty look between her eyebrows, as if she disdains the company of people around her, so when Bai Le tells the story, she
Didn't get up and come over.
But these are not important, because in Ding Meng's perception, Bai Le's source energy fluctuations are very strong, not inferior to his own at all, while the fluctuations on Dai Yi's body are much weaker. Of course, this is only relative, in her case
Being able to have the strength of a Yuanli warrior at your age is quite a remarkable thing.
Ding Meng suddenly understood Green Arrow's intentions. This Dai was the person invited, and he probably had a lot of background. The Sirius Corps may not give Green Arrow any favors, but they would definitely reward her. Since she is not Green Arrow's
Members have legitimate status to go to Zhifan Galaxy.
However, after figuring out these key factors, Ding Meng had another doubt: What does this have to do with me?
Fortunately, Sliman had already taken the initiative to explain: "Brother, the territory of the Sirius Corps is not accessible to ordinary people. After all, Miss Dai Yi is a girl. She is afraid of unexpected risks when going alone, so I recommended it to Commander Bai Le."
You, I hope you can follow us. If you encounter any difficulties, you and Miss Dai Yi can take care of each other. After all, you are not a member of our Green Arrow..."
His explanation also makes sense. Whether it is mercenaries or bounty hunters, among the major forces in outer space, source energy users and junior warriors are the mainstream. The more powerful ones are only mid-level warriors, and war masters are rare.
, this kind of person is often the leader of the corps and will not show up easily.
But Ding Meng's strength is quite strong. From the mission of the Dead Star, it seems that Ding Meng will not be lower than the level of an intermediate warrior, so Slyman's meaning is very clear: I hope you can protect Miss Dai along the way.
Safety.
Before Ding Meng could answer, Dai Yi on the sofa turned his head and glanced at Ding Meng in slight surprise. After twitching the corners of his mouth twice, he still didn't speak, but his eyebrows became even more disdainful.
Others can also understand her mentality. How can I put it? From the appearance, Ding Meng is really too shabby and inconspicuous:
The Biguang armor presented by Qu Xiaoqing had been completely destroyed in the battle with Lan Bing'er. Now it was replaced by the poor people's clothes that Ah Qiao and the others usually wear, an old plaid shirt and a pair of linen pants.
, the shoes are from Anweier Company, but they are old and broken in many places. In addition, Ding Meng is not tall to begin with, so Ding Meng always gives people the illusion that this is a wild man who escaped from the slums.
child?
The only thing that makes people a little surprised is the dark ancient sword stuck diagonally on Ding Meng's waist. This shows that he is no ordinary person. At least he has practiced martial arts, but who still uses such toy-like antiques these days?
Where are the weapons?
In Dai Yi's perception, she was not aware of the existence of any source energy in Ding Meng's body at all, and could not feel even a trace of fluctuation, so it was inevitable that she felt contempt.
Bai Le also jumped out to persuade: "Brother Ding, I know this request will definitely make you very embarrassed, but there is no one else on the KV303 star, and your identity is the most suitable, and secretly
The time limit left by the Internet for retrieval is also very short. We can no longer invite people from other places. I hope you can understand our difficulties. If you can follow us, we will be rewarded heavily when the task is completed. No
Do you know what you think?"
Ding Meng sighed secretly. Years of exile have already made him develop an instinct: it is best not to get involved in other people's troubles, so as not to get into trouble.
It's just that during this period, the people on KV303 were very friendly and caring to him, and the Green Arrow sub-base also treated him well. At least he had exhausted all the training resources by himself, and Gulaga and Slyman's
There was no look of dissatisfaction on his face, and he just couldn't say any words of rejection just because of this.
Ding Meng took a deep breath: "Okay, Chief Bai, then I'd rather be respectful than obey your orders!"
