Chapter 211
Ying Ziji looked up and followed the direction Fifth Moon was pointing.
For the past two days, it was also Fifth Moon who had been acting as a guide for her.
Of course, it wasn’t free.
It was 1,000 a day, and food and accommodation had to be included.
The Hidden Alliance was only a location for members to trade, not a country, so there was no common currency either.
So when members trade, it usually depends on their own habits and nationality.
To facilitate members’ transactions, there are major banks around the world in the bounty area.
“That’s where the hunters compete.” Fifth Moon said, “If the hunter on the list loses, he or she has to go down the list and swap places with the person who won.”
It was a building that went straight up into the clouds and had eighty-eight floors.
At the top of the building was the word “hermit” in bold letters.
Hermit, the hidden one.
The tenth card of the Great Arcana of the Tarot, number 9.
The English name of the Hidden Alliance is also translated as hermit.
She had seen the word hrimit in the underground bazaar in Shanghai, where she had first visited, and it belonged to the Hidden League.
The change in the ranking caused by the competition among the hunters in the Hunter Zone was different from the last time when the ranking had changed due to the death of the seventh in the Gun God Ranking.
In the event of a death, that hunter would no longer be able to compete, and the ranking would simply fall vacant, allowing those behind to fill in.
However, not all hunters are able to compete against each other, such as hypnotists and disguisers, and these hunters will have to rely on actual combat.
But the Gun God list is much easier to compete in, depending on accuracy.
“I’ve heard the news, there will be hunters from the list coming today, and possibly the top 20 big guys on the list.” Fifth Moon was excited, “Miss, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, do you want to go and see it live?”
Most of the hunters on the list won’t come to the Hunter Zone, it’s so hard to get a place on the list, what if they slip and lose?
The hunters who came to the hunter zone were basically those who didn’t make it to the 100 list.
The idea is to take a chance, and even if they still don’t get in, they can still get the attention of the big shots.
I heard that the chief of the ibi would occasionally come here to select elite manpower.
It’s a different story when you get into ibi. These hunters, who have no name and no credit, are able to become part of the establishment and get paid.
However, the requirements of the ibi are very strict, and during the qualification test, the test takers are also tested for their criminal tendencies.
Over the years, it’s not as if killing someone is the only way to become a hunter.
For example, Yu Xuesheng, the big man who is ranked second in the hypnotist list, has no blood on his hands.
Nowadays, the hunter list is a symbol of strength.
“There’s no rush.” Ying Ziyi nodded slightly, “I have something to do, I’m going to make a trip to another place first, you guys can stroll around casually, it’s fine if you don’t follow me behind.”
“Follow, you must follow!” Fifth Moon was very firm, “I must hold on to such a thick leg like you, Miss, although I’m not very good at trigonometry, but if you don’t mind, I can do everything for you.”
Hearing these words, Ying Ziji stopped and turned her head.
Her eyes were deep, deep, and for the first time she used a very heavy tone, “Don’t count everything, if you count less, you will lose your life.”
Fifth Moon froze, and the girl was already walking away.
She scratched her head.
Unlike the Mu and Nie families, the Fifth Family was actually in decline.
This was because but all of the amazing geniuses in the family had short lifespans, none of them, living past forty years old.
Fifth Moon’s father, too, had pa*sed away early.
Since she was a child, Fifth Moon knew very well that the more talented she was in trigonometry, the shorter her life would be.
Sometimes she was glad that she was too useless and could live longer.
But because she was so useless, she could not be of much help.
Fifth Wind, who had always been slow to react, slowly turned his head and looked at the place where the girl had left, pondering.
“Crap, brother!” Suddenly, the fifth moon at the side bumped him violently, “The Dark Gold Mercenary Squad was removed, who was so merciful as to take them in?”
“Good job getting rid of them! Last time they even deliberately stepped on my Bagua Diagram.”
Fifth Moon bumped for half a day and didn’t see any reaction from Fifth Wind.
Fifth Moon was not happy: “Brother, say something.”
Thirty seconds later, Fifth Wind spoke slowly, “You stepped on my foot.”
“……”
**
The other side.
Ying Zigui put her human skin mask back on and went to join Fu Yunshen.
Her eyelashes lowered as she thought about the past.
The fifth youngest string’s life expectancy would be so short because he had helped her calculate her fate once.
But in the end, not only did he fail to calculate it, he also lost his life span.
So, Fifth Youngstring’s descendants, she would protect them if she could.
It was always a deficit to her.
That was why she told Fifth Moon to do less counting.
If she had to count, it was best to use a tool like the tarot cards to be able to reduce some damage.
After she arrived at the address Fu Yunshen had given her the coordinates for, Ying Zigui’s eyes glanced at the gla*s window.
Inside the window, there was a lot of machinery.
There was the Desert Eagle that she had once sailed from No. 7 on the Gun God list, as well as the r45 and even the mp5k.
On the other side, there were swords, knives, bows and arrows, spears …… foreign and Chinese, everything.
Ying Ziji averted her eyes and pushed the door in.
It was a large shop and when she entered, she even saw a tank placed at the far end.
“……”
It really dared to sell.
Fu Yunshen was on the right shelf, he turned his head when he heard footsteps, his peach blossom eyes curved up, “Yoyo, come.”
On the side, Yunshan was respectful, this time from the bottom of his heart, “Miss Ying.”
“Choose something for you to defend yourself with.” Fu Yunshen rubbed her head, “Wait a moment, I haven’t chosen yet.”
Ying Zidian nodded and didn’t refuse.
She sat on the sofa and glanced at WeChat.
One of them, from the female secretary, was sent to her.
【Boss, Youth 202 is starting to select people for auditions, the organiser has come to us again, do you think we need to send our company’s artists this time?
Youth 202, is the second edition of Youth 101, the number was changed to differentiate it.
When Youth 101 first came out, no one in the entertainment industry was optimistic about the show, they were all sceptical.
It was not the first time that a 100-person talent show had been held abroad, but it was still at home.
But in the end, this talent show was an explosion of fire.
Apart from Luo Ziyue, who was banned, the remaining artists who made their debut on the strength of their talent are now following the rise in value.
Last time, First Light Media also received an invitation from the organisers.
After all, as the number one company in the entertainment industry and with so many movie queens and movie stars under its umbrella, it would be a great hit if it could send its artists to participate.
Ying Ziyi pondered for a moment and returned.
[To participate, send me the list of the company’s trainees, I’ll choose.]
The female secretary quickly replied.
[Okay, I’ll send it to you when it’s finished.
The next message came in.
[They also want to invite Emperor Shang to be a mentor, only this time they are inviting him to be a dance mentor.
Shang Yaozhi is a triple star, and as a movie star, he is also an all-rounder in singing and dancing.
Ying Ziyi didn’t think anything of it this time and replied directly.
[This invitation, squash it, there’s no need.
With Shang Yaozhi’s status, there’s no need to waste time to be a mentor.
If he did, he would only be a hot topic for the programme team.
After replying to the message, Ying Ziyi looked up and swept her eyes over the things on the shelves one by one, kinda interested.
Before she left Earth, these things had already been invented, only they were still very rudimentary and there weren’t so many types.
The Desert Eagle she had taken from the number one in the Gun Gods list was still sitting on her wardrobe and hadn’t been used a few times.
Still planning to find a chance to put it up for sale on STAR, an international auction site.
“This is the new p92,” Yunshan put the item on the table, “Miss Ying, its advantage is that it has a large magazine capacity, and its power is also okay, it’s enough for self-defence.”
“This is the r45, the advantage is that it is quick to load, it has more power than the p92, but accordingly, the recoil is also strong, but this is not a problem for you.”
After a pause, Yun Shan lowered his voice: “There are others for you too, but they are too valuable to be laid out outside, and the young master went into the back to fetch them for you.”
“Well, I’ve heard that.” Ying Ziji took it and pondered, “The name of an outfit from an escape mobile game.”
The entire shop fell silent with this one sentence.
All the customers in the shop looked towards this side.
After the eyes fell on the girl, there were a few more moments of surprise and mockery.
“Not bad, it’s the name of the equipment in the game.” Yun Shan didn’t feel anything wrong, “So Miss Ying, see which one you need? ”
Ying Ziyi nodded, “I need some parts.”
Yun Shan was stunned, not understanding for a moment what this meant.
“Need parts?” Off to the side, a young man heard this and all but laughed, “You’re not thinking of a*sembling it, are you? Do you know what it is, and how it works?”
Not even knowing these things, or hearing them from the game, talking such big words?
Chapter 212
Yes, there is that one shooter game that simulates real-life weapons such as guns and crossbows as game equipment.
The members of the Hidden Alliance are also human and have seven emotions, so naturally they have all played this survival game that is popular all over the world.
Many of them even have a high ranking in the game, but they only play it casually in their spare time, they have never taken it seriously.
The game engine for this shooter is Unreal 4, which is very realistic in terms of graphics, maps, sound effects and shooting feel, ensuring that players can have a realistic design experience.
But no matter how realistic the game is, it’s still fake.
It’s a real gun, can you compare it to a game?
In a game, you can just press a few buttons and hit the enemy.
In reality, if you are less fit, you won’t even be able to hit a bullet and your bones may be cracked.
This shop is the General Administration of Instruments on this island and has a great reputation.
Even the hunters on the list would make their equipment purchases here.
But there was no one, yet, who thought that they could use it in reality because they heard the names of a few pieces of equipment in the game.
Yun Shan frowned and glanced towards the young man.
Oh, don’t recognize it.
Not a big deal then.
“What does it matter to you if our lady will a*semble it?” Yun Shan rolled his eyes, “Even if she wouldn’t, these are hers, not yours, your family lives by the sea, so wide of the mark?”
The young man choked and had a momentary moment of shame, “So what? She uses them, that’s blind these guns.”
There were only three of the new r45s that had come in.
He couldn’t even make an appointment, let alone buy one.
Those who could pick them up directly from the shop were all big shots.
“Let’s not say you won’t go blind, but if you do, our young master will throw it in the gutter and you won’t be able to get it.” Yun Shan hummed, “Miss Ying, wait a moment, I’ll go and get the young master, you watch first, the parts will be brought to you later.”
Ying Ziyi nodded slightly, “Please, it’s a bother.”
“No trouble, no trouble.” Yun Shan said, “It’s my honour to serve you.”
After saying that, he left through the back door and went to find Fu Yunshen.
The other guests also withdrew their gaze.
Only the young man who had been taunted by Yun Shan still had an unkind look in his eyes.
“What was that man?” His companion came over, curious, “She doesn’t even know these things, how did she get in?”
“By connections, what else?” The young man shrugged, “Looks just like that, I don’t know who has such poor eyes.”
“There’s been a lot of people on the island lately.” The companion said, “The new members nowadays are worse than one another.”
The young man looked sarcastic, “That’s why I said, the good ones are getting by the back door, the really strong ones, instead.”
**
In just five minutes’ time, Yun Shan returned from his trip.
This time, Fu Yunshen came back with him.
Because of his disguise, the other customers in the shop did not recognize him.
But they also knew that there were only a few characters who could take the latest goods directly from the shop owner without making an appointment.
“Parts.” Fu Yunshen looked up and gestured for Yunshan to put down the box he was carrying, “All picked out some for you.”
He took out a few more sheets of paper, “Drawings.”
Ying took the drawings and after a few seconds of looking at them, she already had the positions of all the parts outlined in her mind.
She picked up the r45, turned it in her hand and unhurriedly took off the casing first.
This move caused a number of people in the shop to take a breath backwards.
The equipment they couldn’t even hold was dismantled just like that.
Did they really think they were playing a game?
The young man from before couldn’t stand it anymore and walked over, sneering: “Destroying a good gun, I’d like to see what kind of thing you can a*semble.”
Fu Yunshen raised his eyelashes.
Yunshan immediately took out the new p92 and pointed it at the young man, “Be quiet and shut your mouth.”
Whether it was out of curiosity or heartache or some other reason, the rest of the customers gathered around.
The girl dismantled the r45 at a slow to fast pace, as if she was calculating something as she did so.
It took only thirty seconds to complete the disa*sembly of the r45.
Then she started to pick parts from the parts box and replaced a few of them.
The rea*sembly took place.
Those who came to acquire equipment naturally also had gun knowledge.
The expressions of several guests went from careless to gradually grave.
Yun Shan also jumped up sharply, his eyes widening.
Three minutes later, the r45 was rea*sembled.
It was a little lighter and smaller than it had been at the start, and the big changes were not visible.
“The place to test the gun is in the back.” Fu Yunshen got up, “Come on, little friend, let’s take you there.”
The two of them went out one after the other.
Of course the young man would not let go of such a good opportunity, and also followed closely.
At the back was a large shooting range with many targets, which was convenient for gun testing.
Ying held the rea*sembled r45 and aimed it at the sky.
She didn’t look up either, she just pulled the trigger.
“Boom!”
There was a loud pop.
Those who followed over subconsciously looked up towards the sky.
However, one second, two …… fifteen seconds pa*sed with no reaction whatsoever.
The young man didn’t hold back and sarcastically said again, “Where are you putting empty guns?”
Not long after his words, a dark shadow suddenly fell from the sky.
It was a bird.
“It fell to the ground with a snap, its head and claws facing the ground.
It had obviously been hit.
“……”
Instantly, there was dead silence around them.
The young man looked incredulously at the bird on the ground, his mind crumbling in an instant.
His face was even more hot and sore.
Yunshan’s brain also gave out.
Because he had followed Fu Yunshen to many places, including but not limited to tropical rainforests, swamps and deserts, and no man’s land.
So the knowledge of the wilderness was a must.
He naturally recognised this bird.
The Sharp-tailed Rainbird.
The fastest flying bird.
Normally, it flies at 170km per hour, but at its fastest, it can reach 352.5km per hour!
The speed of a helicopter is only 300km per hour.
If you look at a Sharp-tailed Swallow with the naked eye, you can only see a flash of shadow.
Not to mention catching them.
And they hardly ever land, they spend all their time in the sky.
And they fly so high that the range of an r45 is not enough.
There really isn’t a trapper that can pick up an r45 and bring down a Sharp-tailed Rainbird.
“Changed the range a bit, it’s not bad.” Ying blew on the muzzle and received the r45 into the matching gun bag, “Pick it up and roast it for dinner tonight.”
After thinking for a moment, she spoke again, “It seems a bit small, catch some more fish then.”
“Well, someone will be catching fish.” Fu Yunshen suddenly smiled, “Seafood is good over here, what else do you want to eat?”
“Sea crabs.” Ying Ziji had specifically read the food guide in the central area, “The spicy fried ones are good.”
“Sea crab is cold in nature, yao yao you-” Fu Yunshen paused, his head sideways, his voice, “Although your days are not up, you should eat less of this kind of thing.”
“……”
Ying Ziji was slightly silent for a moment, “You remember my days?”
She didn’t even bother to remember it herself.
“It’s important, how could I not remember.” Fu Yunshen didn’t say much, he inclined his head and knocked Yunshan who was already dumbfounded, “Remember to roast meat tonight.”
The two of them just walked out.
Everyone else on the shooting range was still dumbfounded.
Yun Wu came out from the equipment room at the back, also carrying a few boxes.
These were specially prepared by Fu Yunshen for Ying Zidian’s defence.
He heard the commotion outside and came over, quite confused: “Second brother, what are you thinking about?”
“I was thinking-” Yunshan drifted back into a trance, then looked at the spike-tailed rainbird he was carrying, “Luckily it’s not a protected animal, it’s not illegal to eat it.”
“……”
**
Hunter District.
Fifth Moon had been squatting in front of a shop selling kebabs for ages when she finally squatted down to the girl.
She jumped up happily and waved, “Young lady, here here.”
Ying Ziyue walked over and graciously gave her a gla*s of cold coke.
“Wow, having fatty water to drink in summer is just the happiest thing.” Fifth Moon took a big sip and burped, “Miss, I’ve bought all the tickets, we’ll be able to go in and watch them compete later.”
“My money.”
“……”
“Ahem!” Fifth Moon righted herself, “Don’t worry, young lady, I’ll pay you back later with interest.”
“A small matter, no need.” Ying Ziyi faintly, “Remember, count less, and as a last resort, don’t count.”
“I know.” Fifth Moon sighed, “I have to do the math too, I’ll do the math for other people’s in-laws and careers, but forget about the big things.”
The fifth wind followed the two slowly, still wearing his beggar’s clothes.
But his appearance was very distinguished, and he also drew quite a few stares.
“There really are hunters on the list.” Fifth Moon pointed at the big screen on that high building, “of the Gun God List.”
Ying Zigui’s phoenix eyes narrowed slightly and she looked over.
On the screen was a woman.
Long blonde hair with big waves, dark blue eyes, and typical o-continent features.
Next to it, was her profile.
Rita Bevan, 18 years old.
“Tch, no wonder it’s so bold to put the photo directly, so it’s from the Bevan family.” Fifth Moon rubbed her chin, “I probably know why she’s here.”
Most of the hunters hid their identities, but not the ones from the big families and powers.
This was because even if they were exposed, not many people would dare to touch them unless they could withstand the crazy retaliation of these big clans and powers.
Ying Ziji looked at them and then withdrew his gaze, “What?”
“Oh, I’m actually not sure, I heard it from the family side.” Fifth Moon finished the last sip of her cola, “They’re looking for the number one in the Poison Master list.”
