Chapter 27 The Charter for Getting Started

Sean walked into the restaurant and came to eight quite complicated gazes.

The four people in the restaurant seemed to be housewives who suddenly encountered a wild monkey lizard breaking through the door while cooking lunch at home. They were full of curiosity, and there was a bit of civilized people's sympathy and pity when witnessing wild animals.

Sean, who was examined as a wild animal, felt a little uncomfortable. He thought to himself that his introductory test was too poor, so he was no longer qualified to be treated equally? Should he be swept out next?

After all, most housewives who encounter wild animals break into the door will call the police to expel them...

Thinking of this, Sean couldn't help but take a step back.

However, as soon as his steps moved, he felt a flash in front of him.

"Young man, please stay!"

The first person to act was Xu Bo, the old man in a thick coat. He was short and slightly hunched, with wrinkles on his face, and his curved wavy white hair hung to his chest along the edge of the hood, looking like he had crossed the line between middle-aged and old.

But his movements were so fast that he had a faint demeanor of Anping, who was in his prime.

The situation is actually unhappy, but it is really unexpected.

Sean was stunned and had been grabbed by the old man's right hand. The old man pinched Sean's wrist with his withered fingers and felt the blood flow on his wrist. While using his left hand to find an electronic screen, he examined the data flowing like a waterfall above.

"You have such a strong metabolic ability. Your recovery ability is stronger than that of ordinary people. No wonder you can withstand the captain's three-round ravage... Although it is unlikely from an academic theory, let me ask, does your ancestors have anything to do with the Devalons?"

Sean only had a headache when he heard it.

Fortunately, the old man was quickly forced back by Lu Nan.

Although Xu Bo was struggling hard during the process, the gap in strength made him feel like a wild duck preyed by a beast, leaving only the remaining strength to croak and scream.

"Lu Nan, don't drag me! I'm making a medical diagnosis for him! This is medicine, do you understand academics? He was beaten into a coma by the captain. What if there is a hidden injury on his body! This is life-threatening!"

Lu Nan showed his strength no less than that of the captain Anping. He held Xu Bo and sneered, "You should not worry about the hidden injury if you can beat the captain to replace the prosthetics."

Anping, who was accidentally injured by words, touched the newly replaced prosthetic limb in embarrassment and coughed: "Anyway, since Sean is here, our welcome party will officially begin."

While Anping said, he slapped his left hand with his metal prosthesis, making strange applause.

However, there were few people responding at the dining table, and Lu Nan and Xu Bo were still quarreling, only Zhuang Yuanying, a little girl wearing a thick soft hat, responding very enthusiastically and clapping her hands.

I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but maybe the side effects of concussion still remain. Sean felt that the little girl’s applause seemed a bit unusually loud.

In Sean's opinion, the most inconsistent person on the dining table was a girl wearing a soft hat. Maybe she was one or two years older than Sean, but compared to the people around her, she was too young and didn't look like a girl who should appear in the mercenary base at all.

From her, Sean didn't feel any sharpness, and he was completely a harmless civilian.

But theoretically, it is impossible for civilians to exist in the underground base of this Hongxing Squad.

He heard Chen Sanwan talk about the name of the Red Apricot Team on the Silver Seat many times, which was an absolute elite that most of the crew members of the Silver Seat feared and fascinated.

As for how elite they are? Anping had fully demonstrated it to Sean when he was just in the introductory test.

Therefore, Zhuang Yuanying, who was wearing a soft hat, seemed a little out of place.

Sean was puzzled, and then he simply guessed boldly: Is this Anping's daughter? Are you here to visit relatives?

Anping lamented: "It's this expression again. Do you also regard Xiaozhuang as my daughter? Please, I really don't even have half a girlfriend!"

The girl named Xiaozhuang was frightened again, and her hands pulled her soft hat, hiding her entire face in the hat.

Lu Nan let Xu Bo go, laughing so hard that he leaned back and forth.

Finally, Anping coughed hard a few times, and finally maintained order in the canteen.

"Okay, there's enough nonsense, let's get to the point."

As Anping's tone became heavier, the atmosphere in the restaurant became solemn.

"This is the Hongxing Squad. I am the captain Anping. I am mainly responsible for team command and comprehensive coordination. Most of my positions during combat are concentrated on the front line. I am good at fighting techniques, simple guns, and survival in the wild."

Then he pointed his hand at the tall woman: "Lu Nan, the current deputy captain, is also the most core firepower player of the team. He is good at almost all guns, especially proficient in sniper skills. One person can become a sniper team and is the most important output point of the team. In addition, she is also good at a variety of driving techniques and provides the team with maneuver power at critical moments. It can be said..."

Lu Nan couldn't help but turn his head away and waved to Anping: "Okay, okay, don't be so stingy, just change the next one."

An Ping sighed helplessly and turned his finger to Xu Bo: "This is Xu Bo, his surname is Xu, nor is he of extraordinary seniority, but he just happens to be Xu Bo. He is currently a medical officer of the team, proficient in various first aid skills, and his electronic technology is above the level. He is basically responsible for the team's medical robots. If necessary, he can provide certain support capabilities on the battlefield, but the price is heavy. Don't let him overdraw easily."

Xu Bo raised his head and said, "Captain, don't be polite to me. For the sake of the team, I can go through fire and water at any time!"

Lu Nan commented without hesitation: "You can take banned drugs legitimately after being injured!?"

Xu Bo said with confidence: "Don't slander people at will! My husband, Xu Bo, has lived for 37 years and never waited for his injury after taking banned drugs!"

Now even Sean was shocked. He just said how many years he had lived?

37 years? Isn’t it 73 years?

Uncle Xu glared at Sean: "What are you looking at? Have you ever seen a 37-year-old handsome man?"

Sean frowned and thought about the 37-year-old man with a wrinkled face. Could it be that his ancestors had any connection with Bees?

Lu Nan was a little gloating and said, "If you take a few more banned drugs, you can go to the welfare center in the city to receive pension assistance. As long as you brush your face, you will be sure to give you a longevity gift package."

Xu Bo waved his hand: "Take it down, the urban welfare office near the abandoned area has long been abandoned by the upper class. Now the funds are very tight. The longevity gift package is filled with flashy things like longevity peaches and couplets, and there is not even cash."

Lu Nan was stunned: "You really went to get it!"

"Nonsense, I don't have to receive it for nothing. I don't have a captain. I don't have a captain. I naturally have to know how to increase revenue and reduce expenditure..."

Anping heard it a little while ago, and was deeply desperate for the group of bastards under his command.

Even if you can't help but reveal your true colors, at least after the newcomers join the team! You've been showing off your ugly face so early, aren't you afraid of scaring the newcomers away?

Although newcomers who can survive three rounds of tests should theoretically bear strong enough psychological endurance.

While thinking, Anping saw that there was a team member who was grateful to be at the dining table.

Zhuang Yuanying sat quietly at the corner of the dining table, looking at Sean from time to time with curious and shy eyes.

Anping thought to himself: It would be great if everyone could be as well-behaved as Zhuang Yuanying.

"Zhuang Yuanying, the youngest member of the team except you, is mainly responsible for mechanics. Although she is young, her mechanics are very skilled. Any broken machine can be dealt with by her. Sometimes Boss Li likes to play tricks in space, and breaks the Baiyin number, and even asks Xiaozhuang to help."

Lu Nan interrupted again: "If it weren't for Xiaozhuang, Li Yu would have been peeled and removed by Lord Bai."

Xu Bo also sighed: "So Xiaozhuang is simply the savior of Boss Li Yu. Captain. Remember to mention this matter at the next team meeting and let the boss allocate more funds. I happened to have a new drug research into a bottleneck..."

Anping said angrily: "Don't try to use Xiaozhuang to seek personal selfishness! If you want funds, you can go to a few more welfare offices to scan your face!"

Zhuang Yuanying, who became the "target of public criticism", was once again embarrassed and buried her head in her hat: "You guys are so exaggerating..."

The tender voice still reveals a strong harmless smell of humans and animals to Sean.

Looking at the other people's doting attitude towards Zhuang Yuanying, Sean couldn't help but think that perhaps this Red Apricot Team was not as dangerous and cruel as he expected?

However, as soon as this idea arose, An Ping said, "Okay, the specific members have introduced it, and it's time to introduce the Hongxing Squad... I think you should have been thinking about this question for a long time: Why is the name of this Squad so strange?"

Sean nodded.

In the context of Qiankun language, the word "Red Apricot" always reminds people of the ambiguous saying "Red Apricots come out of the wall".

This is not consistent with the elite positioning of the Hongxing Team.

Although Li Yu, the leader of the Silver Knights, has always been very at will when it comes to naming, he does not have to give his ace such an inappropriate name.

Anping smiled and said, "The core meaning of the saying "The red affair is to describe someone who does not follow the rules. And the core concept of our team is indeed not following the rules."

After a pause, Anping said again: "Boss Li Yu said that you are here to pay off your debts, so you should also know that the members of the Hongxing Team have much higher income than other team members. For example, I completed a team task, a team task, three personal tasks last month, and accumulated income of 720,000 Qiankun coins. This is the number that other team members need to accumulate for a lifetime."

Anping pointed at Lu Nan and Xu Bo again: "The income level of these two people is not low, not to mention Xiaozhuang. Saving Li Yu's life many times is a sky-high credit."

With a hint of funnyness, Anping asked the question: "What do you think is the reason for this special treatment?"

Sean tried to speculate: "By strength?"

"It's really concise, but you're right. Our treatment does come from strength. Any member of this team has strength that is far above the 'average'. But the question comes immediately. What does strength mean?"

Sean thought for a moment and said, "The ability to complete the task?"

"To be honest, the essence of strength refers to the ability to complete tasks. Our treatment is essentially derived from completing nearly impossible tasks time and time again."

Sean said, “So, is this a reward?”

Anping smiled: "You have come to the point again, and the answer is not. Special treatment does seem like a reward, but in fact it is also a last resort. It takes extremely high costs to complete impossible tasks. In this cost, subjective will is actually something that is indifferent. Boss Li has never lacked people who dare to fight hard or those who work hard, but what he can't do is not do. Because they lack sufficient material foundation."

While speaking, Anping put his right prosthetic limb on the dining table and asked Sean: "If I want to compete with you for a handwreck now, do you think you have a chance of winning?"

Sean shook his head.

With his strength at this time, even if he uses the Force to strengthen his body, it is difficult to win an electromagnetically driven steel arm under the rules of arm wrestling.

Anping said: "The difference between me and you is not in the will to win, nor in the perseverance of training in daily life, but in the fact that I have a mechanical prosthetic limb worth 50,000 Qiankun coins, but you only have flesh and blood."

After a pause, Anping said: "Similarly, Lu Nan's sniper ability is the best in the entire Qianxing system, and it is also because she has a tailor-made, priceless Dongfeng DF-Q91 sniper rifle - I would like to remind you seriously that it is her most precious treasure. If you dare to leave even a little fingerprint on her barrel, she can hit you to the point where Xu Bo cannot cure it."

"So the problem is that when there are such a small group of people who are very good at using resources to exchange strength, resource allocation becomes a big problem for the entire team. For example, I just used a mechanical prosthesis costing up to 50,000 Qiankun coins to conduct introductory tests on you. At the same time, even the senior engineers on the Silver Number only had a daily salary of several hundred yuan. Do you think the latter would agree with my squandering behavior?"

"Obviously, it won't be possible, but if I don't agree with the latter, I won't get a mechanical prosthesis cost of 50,000 yuan. Then the team shouldn't expect me to create miracles at critical moments. It's hard for a good cook to cook without rice."

"The solution to this contradiction is that the Hongxing team will go out independently and bear the profit and loss. Our income depends on our contribution, and no one will pay for our expenses. Compared to other people who are completely collectivism, isn't our team just a Hongxing team that spends the wall?"

Before he finished speaking, Lu Nan said, "The word "self-bearing profit and loss" is very good, so don't expect to leave the team's public account if you scrapped mechanical prosthetics."

An Ping was stunned when he heard this, and then smiled bitterly after a moment: "Don't be so cruel, right?"

Lu Nan glanced at him: "Since you are taking the blame for your own profits and losses, you are taking the initiative to do strict tests for newcomers. Do you still expect us to pay the test fee for you?"

"..." Anping was silent for a while, and looked at Zhuang Yuanying with a kind look, "Xiaozhuang..."

Before he finished speaking, Lu Nan had already grabbed a metal water cup on the dining table and threw it over: "You are so embarrassed to borrow money from Xiaozhuang again!? Captain, I'm shameless!"
