Chapter 202 Employee Handbook
This is indeed a pub.
But the person in front of him was called Su Xia.
"rule……"
Su Xia remained calm, turned the glass in his hand, and a few drops of wine spilled out.
This rule does have its meaning.
The killers who become official members are almost all psychic creatures. Each of them has extraordinary means and great destructive power. Once they get drunk and start a fight in a tavern, the result can be imagined.
Without this rule, the basement level of the tavern would not be so peaceful, and no one knows how much money and time would be wasted on repairing the facilities every year.
On the ground floor, where ordinary people drink, there are no rules and regulations, and fights often break out.
But this rule was too strict, allowing some disgusting creatures to use the tavern as a refuge, which made Su Xia feel bad.
If one party brutally kills the other party's entire family and taunts the other party in front of him, can the other party not take action?
"Mask Boss, you are also aware of that rule, right?"
Xue Lin felt more confident when he saw that Su Xia stopped talking.
His tense body relaxed a little, still staring at the empty wine glass in his hand, and said in a low voice: "Masked Boss, your time is precious. You can't always guard me in the tavern."
"There's food and drink in the tavern, there's a place to stay, and women come and go. With the money I've saved over the years, I can live a luxurious life here for the rest of my life..."
"It doesn't matter if I can't leave the pub. I can build a virtual reality room and enjoy the scenery of the whole world without leaving home..."
“…”
He kept talking about these things, naturally in order to force Su Xia to retreat.
Someone like him could live in the Midnight Bar for the rest of his life, but what about Su Xia?
Rumor has it that the masked man is free and easy, unrestrained, and comes and goes like the wind. Can he really stay in this small tavern for his entire life?
Xue Lin was certain that Su Xia would not dare to violate the tavern's principles, and as he spoke, his tone became more confident.
He felt that he had the initiative in the negotiations.
"Mask Boss, human desires are endless. Where there is demand, there will be a potential market, and I am just a supplier who satisfies the market."
He mentioned his sugar water company, which was the source of the conflict.
As soon as he opened his mouth, he threw his responsibility onto the so-called potential market, and he tried to shift the topic from himself to the entire sugar water industry.
"Sugar water and other similar products have existed since ancient times." Xue Lin said seriously, "Even if I don't make it, someone else will. I just got a small share of the cake."
"In this city, my market share is only about 15%, and it's all in the lower-tier markets, making very little money. If you really want to take action in this industry, why don't you focus on the two largest family businesses in the city?"
"Jiang Group and Wei Group, their group buildings are standing in the city center, and they own more than 70% of the market..."
“…”
Xue Lin likes to change the subject and is good at creating conflicts and inciting people.
He himself was still in danger, but he wanted to divert the trouble away and let Su Xia deal with his two mortal enemies.
But Su Xia didn't buy it, and just said calmly: "That rule has a premise, I think your master should know it."
"Masked Boss, do you want Master to deprive me of my official membership?"
Xue Lin seemed to have expected this.
The premise of that rule is simple, that is, those who are bound by it are all official members of the tavern.
He understood that the masked man was waiting for Xue Lie to come back here, undoubtedly to tell Xue Lie what he had done and then let Xue Lie delete him from the employee system.
Once his name disappears from the system, he is no longer protected by this rule.
Xue Lin was not afraid, and his words were more confident: "No, Masked Boss, I did not violate any rules. Even my master cannot delete my identity."
"Yeah?"
"Mask Boss, you haven't read the employee handbook, have you?"
Xue Lin became more calm and his inner anxiety became less and less.
Since Su Xia mentioned this matter, it means that he intends to act according to the rules, and this rule cannot be circumvented.
"As long as you successfully complete three tasks each month and do not commit any violations, your official membership will be automatically renewed, and store owners in various branches are not allowed to expel official members for any reason."
As he spoke, Xue Lin calmly took out a blue booklet from his clothes and calmly placed it on the bar.
Zero Point Tavern Employee Manual!
To be honest, most of the official members have never seen this thing.
After joining the tavern, you don't have to worry about anything else except a few basic issues.
Su Xia certainly hadn’t seen it.
But Xue Lin studied every rule clearly, after all, the Midnight Tavern was his last resort.
He flipped open the booklet and said calmly, "Masked Boss, you can see that we are assassins, and we are allowed to kill people, sell drugs, or engage in prostitution. These are personal behaviors of members, and the pub will not expel members for such things."
What he said made sense. There weren't actually many good people in the tavern. Most of the missions were killing missions, and they killed everyone indiscriminately.
They are all killers, how clean can they be?
In normal times, what Su Xia had done would be enough to keep him in jail until his next life.
"Given Master's personality, he would be very angry when he found out what I had done, but he would only sever the master-disciple relationship with me and could not fire me."
Xue Lin held the booklet tightly; it was his greatest reliance.
Su Xia did not say anything about this. He put down the glass in his hand and told the waiter behind the bar: "Save this glass of wine for me. I will come back to drink it at ten o'clock."
"yes."
The waiter bowed forward with an extremely respectful attitude.
Previously, Su Xia paid with cash and did not use an ID card, so the waiter did not know his identity.
But now, through the conversation between the two, the waiter knew that he was actually the legendary masked man who crawled out of hell!
It would be an honor to be able to have a few simple words with such a great man.
He carefully put away the wine glass without spilling a drop of the wine, and watched Su Xia's back as she left.
Xue Lin smiled coldly and said, "This masked man is just an ordinary person bound by rules. You think he is so powerful."
"Why didn't you say that when he was here?" the waiter asked him.
"Just give him some face!"
Xue Lin snorted, put away the employee manual on the bar, and walked back to the sofa in the hall with his glass of wine.
He didn't dare leave the pub now, for fear that Su Xia was waiting for him outside the pub.
With the opponent's terrifying strength, his head would be separated from his body the moment his feet left the tavern.
"Come back at ten o'clock? It seems that he still wants to see my master." Xue Lin thought to himself as he sat on the sofa, "Keeping him here is always a problem."
But in this city, the only ones who can deal with the masked monster are the mechanical clan and the two big families.
Xue Lin took out his cell phone, opened the address book, found a name, and paused his finger over the name, hesitating for a long time.
What matters most now is his life.
Compared to this, everything else is nothing.
Finally, he gritted his teeth, a look of pain flashed across his face, and he made up his mind to fight back.
"Hello? Mr. Jiang..."
…
After Su Xia left the tavern, she did not stay outside to guard.
He left nanorobots on Xue Lin to monitor his movements at any time.
After the last battle with An Lan, he didn't have many nanorobots left, and they could no longer perfectly cover his entire body. He could only do some simple reconnaissance and patrol work.
There is still an hour before Xue Lie returns, and Su Xia plans to use this time to visit the slums of this city.
The slums are very close to the old town where the Zero Point Tavern is located, just outside the old town.
There were family members of several members of the Old North Wind organization among them.
Unlike the Coral City, the slums in Fish Scale City were transformed from former factory buildings, employee dormitories, family housing, etc., and they look better on the outside.
But the actual situation is not much better.
Su Xia walked into old and dangerous buildings and passed through dirty and messy corridors, with the foul smell lingering around her nose all the time.
The stench comes from large amounts of domestic garbage, wastewater, dead rats and even discarded dead babies.
Almost every small and dark room is crowded with seven, eight or even more than ten residents.
People from the normal world would probably not be able to stand staying here for more than ten minutes. It is hard to imagine how these people can live here for such a long time.
"It's already half past nine. The sun has been out for so long, why hasn't the fog cleared yet?"
Su Xia stood outside the building and took a breath of fresh air, but felt a little uncomfortable in her respiratory tract and even felt like coughing.
In the memory of the former commander, the city was seriously polluted and shrouded in fog all year round.
After experiencing it personally today, Su Xia finally understood how serious it was.
"cough……"
Su Xia cleared her throat, feeling as if something was stuck in it.
He changed into a better mask, put it on again, and returned to the dilapidated old buildings and factories.
This time he didn't spend too much time, just over ten minutes, and he found the family member of an old member of the North Wind Organization.
The member was named Liu Xiaoyu, a very cute girl. She had just reached adulthood when she joined the Beifeng organization. A few months later, she encountered that cruel night of destruction and died in the bombardment in her sleep.
There are three other people alive in her family, a cousin Liu Hongying who is in her thirties, and two children aged five or six.
In a place like this, it is not easy for a woman to raise two children.
Su Xia stood at a distance and observed for a moment. Both children looked malnourished.
Liu Hongying had sallow skin, a sickly look, was skinny, had pale lips, and wore tattered clothes. She was not much better than a beggar on the street.
But her belly was slightly swollen, as if she was pregnant with her third child.
Su Xia blinked, looked carefully, and a line of prompts popped up in front of her.
[Liu Hongying, female, 33 years old, cousin of Liu Xiaoyu, a former member of the Beifeng organization, is three months pregnant]
[Late-stage gastric cancer, cancer cells have spread throughout the body, and the patient is expected to survive for two months]
Liu Hongying was holding her two children, half leaning on the rusty iron bed, looking out the window quietly, her expression numb and her eyes empty, as if she had given up all hope and was living one day at a time, waiting for death to come.
Su Xia sighed lightly, did not come closer, put some banknotes in an iron box, put six potions in another iron box, and then wrote a few words.
“Life will always get better…”
