There is a more detailed description in the task details. Judging from the tone, it should be sent by a secretary or similar worker:
[In the past half month, the city lord has received thirteen death threats and encountered three assassination attempts. Tomorrow the city lord's schedule will be very full, and he needs qualified bodyguards to prevent him from being assassinated, kidnapped, etc.]
[As a 3S level bodyguard, we believe you have the ability to protect the city lord. If you can, please contact us as soon as possible. ]
A Yu took a closer look, and after roughly scanning the content, he said: "Those who dare to assassinate the city lord are usually ruthless characters."
Wen Shi forced a smile. Of course he knew such a simple truth.
However, after searching through the phone, apart from this order, there were no other orders with a reward of more than 10 million yuan. A Yu looked at Wen's expression and guessed something: "Do you really want to try it?"
Wen Shi tried to save his dignity: "I love challenging myself the most."
On the surface, this is a commission that can be freely chosen. In reality, in the Golden City, directly rejecting the city lord will definitely leave hidden dangers. First of all, his business ability will be questioned by the other party. And it is not entirely a bad thing. Wen Shi's eyes met with the president of Wangcai Bank in mid-air.
Ji Yuanzhi said that all the people in Wangcai Bank are fat. The president is now in Huangjin City, so it is self-evident who is sitting in front of him.
"A good business." The president smiled at him.
After a brief shock, the bank president quickly realized the difficulty of this deal. Even if he did not take action, the other party might be killed by the game.
Knowing that he had no choice, Wen Shi didn't waste time hesitating and chose to accept the order directly. Almost at the moment when he just chose to confirm, the system prompt sounded:
"Player 460872 chose to protect the city lord."
"Please note that you are involved in a conspiracy in the Golden City. The difficulty of the current dungeon has been adjusted to S."
S is late but arrived.
"..." It turns out that the same copy can have different levels of difficulty for each person. I've learned something new.
Da da da.
The red high heels approached the rest area like a sharp claw, tearing apart the superficial harmony of the crowd.
Xiaohua sat down in a familiar manner. When she saw the bank president, her eyebrows raised: "Look at your sharp-nosed and monkey-faced face. Who are you thinking of seeing off?"
The fat man had nothing in common with the adjective she used, so he didn't mind being publicly humiliated. He asked with a smile, "What profession is Miss Xiaohua certified in?"
"Bodyguard." Xiaohua didn't care about the profession itself. She received the main mission on the way here. If she wanted to earn 200 million yuan, it would be impossible to do so through formal employment.
After Wen Shi left, she looked around the building but couldn't find any other suitable professions. In the end, she simply chose the same one so that she could complete missions with others.
Xiaohua has protected many guild members on their missions before, and has a rich resume, with an A-level certification.
Wen Shi immediately said, "I just received an order for 100 million yuan. Do you want me to help you push it?"
It is impossible for a powerful person to only need one bodyguard.
Xiaohua crossed her legs and said, "Okay."
When Wen Shi sent the message, Xiao Hua was drinking ordinary alcohol provided by the casino for free, "Who is so generous? It's 100 million."
President: "City Lord."
Xiaohua spat out a mouthful of water for the second time today.
Wen Shi got a reply soon after: "They have agreed."
Xiaohua received a prompt that the task was upgraded to S.
Her expression was a little complicated. She thought that Pei Wenwei was more suitable to team up with Ji Yuanzhi. She was afraid that she could not digest it. But on the bright side, maybe she could pass this dungeon earlier.
Li Nan said, "Remember to pay attention to other players in the city."
Fraud and robbery are always the quickest ways to make money.
He asked Wen Shi to come to Meijin Casino mainly to let him meet the president of Wangcai Bank to keep him alert and exchange their respective situations. If necessary, they can start cooperation. Now the goal has been achieved, and there is only one doubt left. Li Nan looked at the statue that Wen Shi carried with him: "Isn't this thing usually enshrined in a shrine?"
Wen Shi briefly explained the origin of the statue: "You can use it to summon demons. I carry it with me in case of emergency."
After these words were spoken, Li Nan's expression remained calm, but the president was unable to hide his surprised expression again for a short while.
Anyone with a bit of brains would know the consequences of making a deal with the devil. People always try to avoid such dirty things. He finally put aside his superior mentality and looked at the young man in front of him seriously.
His clear pupils were filled with vigorous energy, but his temperament was gentle and calm, as if nothing could cause him any trouble.
If the monsters in front of the barrage knew what he was thinking, they would definitely sneer at him.
Wen Shi's fear bar and anger bar both rose a little, and it was not as calm as it seemed on the surface.
Every time an order was accepted, a 10% deposit could be received in advance. Wen Shi directly booked two luxury suites above the Mei Jin Casino, one for him and one for A Yu.
The game only requires you to earn 200 million, but it doesn't say you can't spend it, so there's no need to treat yourself badly.
"I'm going to rest. See you later." Wen Shi got up and went back to his room, trying to get enough energy for tomorrow's bodyguard plan.
The hotel's soundproofing was quite good. Wen Shi returned to his room and fell directly onto the soft golden quilt, mumbling to himself, "What should I do with the remaining 100 million?"
He didn't think the game would allow him to complete the final amount by doing the same bodyguard missions.
He casually threw the statue on the bedding, and a vague black gas emerged from above his head. The devil actually appeared at this time.
"Go register as a killer. Hidden professions will not fully disclose information." The devil taught him how to do things: "You must have professional ethics and strictly understand the behavior habits of your employer during your employment so that you can protect him. After the protection period is over, you can be hired to assassinate him. You already fully understand his work and rest schedule and other rules, so your assassination success rate is extremely high, so remember to offer double the price when accepting a killer order."
The devil began to murmur: "As long as the killer does a good job, more and more people will choose to hire bodyguards. The two professions will compete with each other in price. Why worry about not getting rich?"
High fees have their own way of doing things, and we strive to be the best.
"… "
[Patient No. 109: I am tired of talking about this. What kind of demon is this that needs to be avoided? ]
[Patient No. 233: @Frank Hospital Cotard syndrome patient, come and see this demon! ]
Although we should not give the characters in the story traffic because of the bet, I can't stand it now. How can there be such a useless devil? !
[Grandma Scissors: The old lady is only concerned about why this demon took the initiative to give a hint? ]
The comments came in very quickly.
Wen Shi also had the same doubt. Ignoring the inhumane proposal, Wen Shi felt a little uneasy when faced with the devil's behavior of giving away ideas for free.
"Why did you suddenly think of giving me advice?"
The statue slowly stood up from the bed. In the dim room with the curtains closed, it looked evil and terrifying.
For the first time, the demon, using the black fog as a carrier, leaned close to the perfect earlobe without a deal, and whispered to the non-believer: "When you walked into the villa on the first day, I could feel that we are of the same kind."
“…” Let’s not sink into depravity together, okay
The cold air that was about to penetrate into his ear canal made Wen Shi move two inches to the side.
The distance between them allowed him to face the pair of eyes that had become more lively. It had been less than a day since he arrived in the Golden City, and the devil seemed to have made many more visits. The eyes of the statue were lifelike, and an indescribable sense of familiarity came over Wen Shi again.
Long, narrow, sharp, and dark.
Wen Shi had a terrible guess. It really looked a bit like the phoenix eye in the sky.
Secretly hiding this thought, Wen Shi changed his plan to throw the statue away randomly. He took the initiative to communicate and asked, "How long has Mr. Devil been wandering in this world?"
I can no longer remember why I worked so hard.
There was an inexplicable sense of oppression in the room, and the black mist suddenly flickered: "Business is coming."
The mist dissipated, and the statue fell lifelessly back onto the bed.
Wen Shi still couldn't figure out where all this business came from.
After eating the steak brought by the waiter, Wen Shi began to lie down for most of the day.
At five o'clock in the afternoon, his employer sent him a message informing him to wait outside the Meijin Casino at eight o'clock the next morning.
It is very easy for the city lord to know a person's current location.
"Three assassinations." Wen Shi thought of the details of the mission and suddenly sat up from the bed. One assassination was understandable, but three in half a month was obviously not in line with common sense.
On the surface, the Golden City was a typical wolf culture, but in reality, the people here had been domesticated to a certain degree of servility, and they dared not violate the rules of the city in the slightest. Assassinating the city lord who represented absolute authority was not something that people in the inner city would do.
Wen Shi had to consider the worst case scenario. The person who wanted to kill the city lord might not be a human.
The next day was still cloudy, but hot.
Wen Shi first went to greet A Yu and said that A Yu could not follow him all the time during work, otherwise it would easily arouse the suspicion of the city lord.
Any job here requires a past that can be retrieved. Ayu only has experience in killing people, so there is no way to certify as a bodyguard and participate in the protection plan. She is very thoughtful and gave Wen Shi a small rattle: "If you have any problems, shake it and shout for mom."
Wen Shi put away the bell, feeling a little more confident. With a 100 million yuan order, there was no doubt that he would spend the whole day in thrills and excitement.
It was almost eight o'clock and he went downstairs as fast as he could.
There were three modified cars parked outside the Mei Jin Casino, all with bulletproof windows. A man in black was waiting by the car, with a physique about twice as strong as Wen Shi.
With one minute left, Xiaohua also appeared at the door. She was wearing a neat casual outfit today and her hair was tied up high.
When everyone was gathered, the man in black led them to the modified car in the middle.
The car door closed automatically, and the city lord was not in the car.
The man in black took out two silver guns from the box and handed one to each of them.
Wen Shi had never received formal gun training, but his father had taught him some when they were fighting together in the past.
The man in black handed over two more forms, which contained the city lord's daily schedule.
[9:00-11:00: Visit the upcoming Spire Amusement Park
12:00-13:30: Go to the Celebrity Hall to receive life-size wax figure customization
14:55-16:25: Attend the premiere at the cinema]
"These are the main activities." The man in black said coldly, "The city lord will make arrangements for the rest of the time. The city lord is quite strong in his daily work, but as long as you perform your duties well, he won't make things difficult for you."
After Wen Shi finished looking through the schedule, he felt that each project was more futile than the last.
Xiaohua asked directly, "Why would you go to a place that hasn't even opened yet?"
Especially since it takes two hours.
The man in black explained the matter in detail: "There are always strange things happening in that area, but the land cannot be wasted. Finally, a developer was willing to take it over last year. The city lord promised that they would experience the amusement projects before opening, so that the amusement park can edit promotional videos to attract tourists."
He picked out a few strange things and rumors to talk about, such as people often saw ghost lights in the middle of the night, and there were people who liked to commit mass suicide there every once in a while.
As the men in black were talking, time passed as fast as the speed of the cars. Three modified cars stopped one after another, and Wen Shi was one of the first people to get off.
He looked up at the place that was said to be haunted.
The amusement park is huge and has many attractions. Due to the arrival of the city lord, all projects are operating normally today, but the deserted atmosphere and the cheerful songs inside create a strong sense of incongruity.
Not counting the men in black, there were a total of nine bodyguards who got off their three modified cars, six men and three women, and they were not wearing uniform uniforms.
The last person to get off the bus was the Lord of the Golden City. He was wearing a mask and a hat, and was wrapped up tightly, revealing his sickly pale skin on the side of his cheek.
Places with wide views are much easier to defend than crowded central areas. Bodyguards guard the surroundings, forming an indestructible human wall to protect the city lord as he walks into the amusement park.
The amusement park has specially arranged a female receptionist and several staff members responsible for filming.
The waitress first bowed to the city lord, sincerely thanked him for coming, and then introduced the projects in the amusement park.
The group walked and talked until they finally came to the bottom of the roller coaster track. The waitress's untied black hair flew in the wind. She looked at the curves above her and said proudly, "… This is one of the main attractions of the park, the roller coaster."
Roller coasters are the easiest advertising signs to attract attention in almost all amusement parks, and this place is no exception, with a spiral track in the middle.
"Would you like to give it a try?" asked the waitress.
The city lord nodded.
The promotional video naturally aims to find unique project experiences.
Wen Shi was about to persuade them by saying that mechanical things could not guarantee 100% safety, but he suddenly remembered what the man in black said about the city lord's strong style of doing things, and swallowed the words back.
He walked silently to the iron sign on the side and read the safe riding guidelines.
Unlike normal prompts, there is only a cartoon picture of a funny dinosaur holding a trumpet, and next to the trumpet it says in big letters: Be careful not to get killed!
Wen Shi automatically translated it and said that there might be obstacles, so try to keep your eyes open the whole time.
The city lord asked the man in black to stay and said to the other bodyguards, "You all should sit together later. The more people there are, the better the photos will turn out."
Wen Shi finally understood why they were not forced to wear uniforms. To put it bluntly, they were all extras.
Xiaohua came over and said, "Let's sit in the same row."
Wen Shi nodded. In the absence of any rules, reliable teammates are important.
The city lord was decisive in his actions and sat directly in the first row, while his two personal bodyguards who had followed him all year round sat in the second row.
Wen Shi chose a seat in the fifth row, and the other bodyguards also found a seat and sat down.
They had just fastened their safety buckles, and the waitress below didn't even ask them for confirmation. She just pressed the start button, and the roller coaster began to move slowly forward.
Wen Shi frowned and quickly checked the surroundings for any unidentified objects. At the same time, he pressed the [Shroud] button and the roller coaster slowly climbed to the top. During the laborious ascent, the track made a creaking sound, giving the illusion that it would derail at any time.
Both he and Xiaohua were in a state of high tension.
"There must be other rules." Xiaohua took out a pair of goggles and scanned every corner carefully.
Before the roller coaster officially started its dive, the two took the last moment to look around.
The front of the car had reached the highest point and paused for two or three seconds. Suddenly, a cold liquid dripped onto his face. Wen Shi subconsciously wiped it with his hand, and there was a sticky blood on his fingertips. He was stunned for a moment and raised his head, and saw that the bodyguard sitting in the second row had his head broken directly, and then it seemed to be pulled by something special and fell towards him accurately.
Wen Shi: “!”
