The First Mist Chapter 77: Release Standards
"Is Brother Xu angry?"
Huang Hao observed the expressions on the faces of the people and immediately tried to ease the situation: "We are all friends. If we are not treating you well, just tell us. 5,000 is not a small sum..."
If they were friends, they wouldn't bully me like this... Xu Shen glanced at him, his lips moved slightly, but he finally took back the meaningless nonsense and said calmly:
"Since this is everyone's idea, let's do it this way."
"I will respect your choice."
"Brother Xu is really open-minded. I'm determined to be your friend!" Huang Hao said with a smile.
He patted Xu Shen's shoulder with an enthusiastic look on his face.
Xu Shen glanced at him indifferently.
This look made Huang Hao's smile stiffen a little. He felt something in that look that made his heart palpitate.
The hand that was patting Xu Shen's shoulder was also retracted.
"Haha, everyone, don't just stand there, keep eating, eat!" Huang Hao quickly greeted with a smile.
Xu Shen shook his head slightly: "I'm full. I'll go back first if there's nothing else. Goodbye..."
When he said goodbye, there was a slight gleam in his eyes.
Seeing Xu Shen standing up, others hurriedly tried to keep him, but Xu Shen ignored such polite words. He turned and walked to the door, only to see Zhang Liyao hurriedly standing up, as if she had just reacted.
His eyes flickered and he said nothing more.
When Xu Shen came to the elevator and waited, Zhang Liyao also caught up.
"Lord Xu, do you really agree?" Zhang Liyao trotted over in her high heels and couldn't help but look at Xu Shen's profile, only to see that the young man's expression was extremely calm.
He seemed different from the introverted boy next door he was during our chat in the morning.
"Yeah, we're all friends."
Xu Shen nodded, his expression showing no emotion.
…
…
Inside the box.
The waiter at the door trotted in and whispered in Huang Hao's ear: "The gentleman has already gotten off the elevator."
Huang Hao nodded slightly, then looked at everyone and scolded with a smile: " You guys, I am the only one who has to offend people."
"Brother Huang is so good at speaking that he made the little guy stunned."
"It's all thanks to Brother Huang."
"Let's toast to Brother Huang!"
Everyone laughed.
"Don't give me that. I don't buy it." Huang Hao said unhappily. He then took out his communicator, made a hushing gesture to everyone, and dialed a number.
"Hello."
After a while, a cold voice came from the communicator.
Huang Hao immediately smiled and said, "Brother Xu, the matter has been settled. The new kid has agreed. Although he is a little reluctant, he has no choice. Should we stick to our agreement as before?"
"There was no direct conflict, right?"
The cold voice melted a little.
"Of course not. After all, he is your colleague, Brother Xu. How dare we confront him head-on?" Huang Hao said with a flattering smile.
"Well, he is a ruin slayer after all. If he gets impulsive, you guys won't be enough for him to kill."
The voice said calmly: "The agreement will remain the same from now on. Contact me if there is any situation. As long as you are not on a mission, I will resolve it as soon as possible."
"Okay, Brother Xu, thank you for your hard work." Huang Hao said with a smile.
The call was disconnected, Huang Hao put away the communicator, and immediately looked at everyone: "You heard it too, right?"
"Brother Huang is awesome."
"Please be at ease, Brother Xu, and it's cheap."
"Brother Xu promised to reduce our taxes by 30%, which will save us a lot of money in a year."
Everyone laughed. With Brother Xu's support, they were not so afraid even if they had a conflict with the new manager.
Even if they have offended someone and the other party ignores them in the future, they can ask Brother Xu to resolve the issue.
"I asked my friends in the bureau about this new kid, and it's exactly as Brother Xu said. He's a newcomer who has only been a regular employee for less than half a year. I heard from them that he has great potential, but what does potential have to do with us?"
Huang Hao smiled and said, "We are not giving him a trial field. Even if we pay the money, we can't solve the problem. In the end, we have to rely on Brother Xu to take action."
"I heard that these guys are short-lived and will be gone in a few years." Someone laughed, covering his mouth.
"They are just unlucky fog people." Someone pouted his mouth slightly, revealing a bit of contempt. If he hadn't been concerned about the large crowds of people around, the contempt in his eyes would have been even more undisguised.
Although most of the residents of Dicheng were born into the Fog People several generations ago, once they get rid of their Fog People identity, they will subconsciously try their best to distance themselves from the Fog People.
This way of distancing oneself from others is a form of self-cultivated subconscious contempt and disgust.
…
…
"They're going too far!"
Back in Xiaolouli, Zhang Liyao was indignant for Xu Shen.
Xu Shen looked at her indignant expression, shook his head and smiled, saying: "Don't say that, it's good to spend some money to make a group of friends. Money is just something outside of the body , and friends are hard to come by."
Zhang Liyao was stunned and said aggrievedly: "Master Xu, do you really think so? They are obviously bullying us..."
"How can you call it bullying when you treat us to a meal?"
"How much is this little meal worth? How hypocritical." Zhang Liyao snorted.
"Don't say that. After all, it's a token of my love. It can't be measured by money." Xu Shen comforted her gently.
Zhang Liyao looked at Xu Shen suspiciously. Is this true?
He wouldn't really consider these people as friends, right?
Seeing Xu Shen's young and delicate face, she felt a little unpredictable.
"It's getting late, you should go to bed early." Xu Shen said.
Zhang Liyao nodded slightly, her face suddenly flushed slightly, and said: "Master Xu, do you want to rest here tonight? There are extra rooms upstairs."
"It's not just the room that's extra." Xu Shen smiled, then waved his hand and turned to leave.
Zhang Liyao was stunned. What does that mean?
She came to the door and saw Xu Shen walking away in the night. She immediately closed the door and dialed the next number.
"Well, he didn't react much. He didn't seem angry."
"But it always feels a little weird, um, a woman's sixth sense..."
"Hate it, come if you want, I can't feel it."
…
…
Xu Shen walked along the street, and in the night, his mind became calm.
Looking at Maeve walking on the green copper rails in the street as if she was practicing balancing, Xu Shen's eyes softened unconsciously, but his gaze remained empty and quickly shifted away.
But in the peripheral vision, there is always a pure white figure.
Crossing the railway tracks, Xu Shen returned to his residential building.
Taking off his coat, he sat on the bed and thought for a moment, then took out another communicator.
"Big Lily?"
"Bah! What's the matter?" Big Lily's voice came over the communication.
"What are the selection criteria for the club's investment market?" Xu Shen asked.
On the other end of the communicator, Big Lily was stunned for a moment, then asked playfully, "Why, do you have a target client?"
"No, I just want to give a small gift to a friend." Xu Shen said calmly.
"Then you are really lucky to be my friend..."
Big Lily covered her mouth and laughed, saying, "There are different levels of standards for the release. If an outsider were to buy it, a D-level coin would start at at least 200,000. But it's different for the consul. The guild will give you a 50% discount, so you only need to pay 100,000."
"If it's a C-level market, 500,000."
Xu Shen raised his eyebrows slightly. So, if a C-level fish is sold to an outsider, it will cost at least 1 million? !
He didn't even get that much money from killing a C-level beast, not even a fraction!
"Besides our club, are there any other people who buy the market and also buy it to put it on the market?" Xu Shen asked.
"The purpose is uncertain. Some are just revenge, and some are business competition..."
Big Lily chuckled and said, "Don't underestimate the competition among these ordinary people. Putting in a market is just one of the dirty tricks, but it is indeed effective. As far as I know, many companies have been bankrupted by others' market placement."
"No one is in charge?" Xu Shen couldn't help but ask. If that was the case, it seemed too chaotic. Xu was simply a black weapon.
Who could have imagined that this ruin that invaded and massacred humans would be regarded by humans as a weapon against their own kind?
"Of course they are in charge! Isn't the Xu Secret Bureau in charge?" Big Lily giggled. She thought Xu Shen's question was very interesting. As a staff member of the Xu Secret Bureau, he actually asked such a question.
Xu Shen was a little speechless. The Xumi Bureau was indeed specialized in solving these kinds of problems.
“It’s normal that I can’t manage it.”
Big Lily smiled and said, "The Ruins have existed for thousands of years, and we humans have also been fighting with the Ruins for thousands of years. Legend has it that there was no Ruins on earth before, and we could walk out of the Dicheng and explore the world outside the Dicheng at will. But then the Ruins came into being, and we fought with the Ruins. What does the thousand years of fighting mean?"
“It means coexistence.”
