Chapter 249： Zhou Rui (second update)

Chapter 249 Zhou Rui (second update)

“It’s difficult!” Yang Bo looked at the two guys in the cage, one was an invisible mouse and the other was a gerbil. These two, a male and a female, didn’t react at all when they were put together.

“Is it not time to breed yet?” Yang Bo muttered in his heart as he looked at the two little ones who didn’t call.

“Ignore it for now, just lock them together.” It’s really hard to talk about beasts.

In Yang Bo's hometown in his previous life, a family went home to celebrate the New Year and brought back a beautiful corgi. This corgi liked the ugliest native dog in the village. It was also gray in color and had fur. It is also curly, unlike other local dogs that are yellow or black and shiny.

This corgi liked this native dog, and eventually gave birth to a litter of variegated short legs, which made their owner very angry.

What looks very beautiful in the eyes of humans may not be beautiful in the eyes of these animals.

Let's put it here to cultivate feelings first, and then Yang Bo is going to go out to see how the cleanup is going.

The hurricane has passed, leaving behind a lot of garbage.

Coming out of the house, you can see that more than a dozen automatic robots are cleaning the entire yard, but the yard is a bit big.

Even the exterior walls of Yang Bo’s house were washed by robots and water.

On the beach in the distance, you can see thick accumulations of various kinds of garbage, most of which are various kinds of seaweed, as well as various animal carcasses, as well as marine animals that are not dead.

“Cleaning expenses are indispensable all year round.” This hurricane only lasted for a week, but according to the forecast, there will be another hurricane in five days.

Yang Bo lets these robots clean up by themselves, and he drives his speed car to buy groceries. Although he can also order online, Yang Bo prefers to choose in person.

Food is already very cheap for Yang Bo now. Unfortunately, many good things here are limited to purchase. For example, the most delicious mushrooms are not produced at this time.

Arrived at the supermarket, Yang Bo got out of the car and drove to find a parking space to park by himself.

“Mr. Yang Bo.” At this moment, Yang Bo heard someone calling him.

Turning around, he saw a woman wearing a white shirt, a black knee-length skirt, and a professional look.

Yang Bo almost spit out his saliva. This woman is tall, fair-skinned, and graceful. Her face is a bit like Brigitte Lin's classical beauty. Her hair is still in a simple ponytail, which makes her look fresh and beautiful.

But Yang Bo knew this person. Isn't he the president of the Bounty Hunter Guild? Seeing this beautiful woman, Yang Bo thought of a bald man. Although the bald head was disguised, it gave people a strange feeling.

"Who are you?" Yang Bo didn't know the origin of the other party. Why did the other party change his true identity and come to find him? For the longevity energy stone?

“I am a staff member of the Bounty Hunters Guild, and I have some things that I would like to discuss with Mr. Yang Bo.” The other party spoke calmly, looking at Yang Bo with his black eyes.

“How about I invite Mr. Yang Bo to the teahouse next door for a drink?” the woman said again.

“Thank you.” Yang Bo decided to see what this woman was up to.

When they came to the tea house, they sat down and ordered two cups of tea. This is a plant that grows in the Gobi. The leaves of the plant are like pine needles. Once brewed with water, it will have a fragrance, and according to each person's sour taste The alkaline constitution is different, and the aroma tasted is also different.

Because it grows naturally, this tea is very expensive because only a certain amount is allowed to be mined each year.

"Mr. Yang Bo is a genius. I already know about your deeds. I wonder if you are interested in joining our bounty hunter guild." Just after putting down the tea and closing the transparent box door, the woman opposite said.

“Sorry, I don’t want to join.” Yang Bo replied with a direct refusal.

The woman opposite was a little surprised, but still asked calmly: "Why?"

"I don't like your condescending way of talking." Yang Bo's answer made the other party even more surprised, and he looked at Yang Bo doubtfully.

"From the moment we met, you knew my name, but I didn't know yours at all, and you didn't introduce yourself. From this point of view, you are a bit superior."

"And as far as your conversation skills are concerned, you probably don't do this job very often, because the first sentence of this job requires you to introduce yourself. This may be because your status is relatively high in the guild." Yang Bo How do you know this? It's just that you know the identity of others. It's too easy to find fault.

When the other party heard this, he was a little stunned, and then said cheerfully: "I really don't do this kind of thing often, because other people are not worthy of my level of personal invitation. Let me introduce you again, my name is Zhou Rui."

“As for my position in the Bounty Hunter Guild, I can’t tell you for the time being. Our guild can provide you with a lot of conveniences,” Zhou Rui replied.

“But your guild is an illegal organization, and I am a law-abiding resident.” Yang Bo took a sip of tea and refused directly.

Hearing this, Zhou Rui said, "That's just because we are not legal in the alliance. We are legal in the other two countries. Because of this, we can provide many services that you can't imagine."

“In addition, if you join a sect, our guild will provide a lot of conveniences. You can get the most advanced fighter plane blueprints and the most advanced battleship blueprints.”

“As for war armor and the like, let alone it, and because it is illegal, the prices of such things are very cheap. After all, they are all private transactions and there is no need to pay taxes to the alliance.”

As Yang Bo listened to what the other party said, he was thinking in his mind. Could it be that the president of the Bounty Hunters Union branch personally invited him because he took a fancy to his talent?

What the other party said is indeed a reason. Take a piece of armor as an example. If it is traded in the alliance, it will have to pay more than 20% tax, including taxes starting from the transportation link.

"After joining a sect, the sect should allocate resources, right?" When Yang Bo heard this, his heart moved and he decided to find out what the sect was like.

"Mr. Yang Bo, the sect is not as good as you think. If you want to obtain resources from the sect, you must contribute to the sect. Otherwise, how can the sect continue?"

"The competition among sects is very fierce, and the resources provided by sects are indeed unique, such as the methods you unlock, but if you want to get better technology, you must make contributions in exchange, and this contribution does not refer to credits. Credits are the least valuable.”

“Join our Hunter Guild. The union has a points system. Points can be redeemed for things that cannot be bought with credit points.” Zhou Rui continued.

Yang Bo felt that what the other party said was true. The sect also paid attention to interests. If the sect had no income, it would be impossible to pass on. So where would the sect's income come from?

Of course, the things provided by the sect are definitely not available outside. Precisely because others are exclusive, it should be difficult to obtain the technology, which means more contributions are required.

Zhou Rui looked at the young man in front of him. The reason why he attracted this young man was because he was lucky.

Zhou Rui returned home the day before yesterday and told his father what happened.

My father once said: "Sometimes good luck is more terrifying than your own talent, not to mention the other person's talent is too abnormal."

At that time, my father also analyzed it carefully.

That was this operation. If it weren't for Yang Bo, everyone would be in a very dangerous situation. But Yang Bo, an inconspicuous character, could not only quickly learn to unlock the confinement collar.

In such a large mine, he alone found a few life energy stones. What does this mean? This is luck.

The wealth brought by these energy stones is enough for ordinary people to pursue for a lifetime and cannot achieve it.

In many missions of the Bounty Hunter Guild, luck is sometimes the decisive factor.

It is more cost-effective to win over Yang Bo than to win over a super strong person. There must be a certain amount of power behind the super strong person's ability to grow to this day.

As for Yang Bo, this is the critical time to win over him. As long as he has a good relationship at this time, he can be his helper.

“Mr. Yang Bo, you can take a look at what our guild has that can be redeemed with points.” Zhou Rui thought of this and took out a tablet and handed it to Yang Bo.

Yang Bo is not surprised that these people like to use tablets, because this kind of tablet is just a storage device, not connected to the outside world, and has a strong anti-shielding function, so it is relatively thick.

Yang Bo took the tablet, which was displaying each item and the points required for these items.

The first one is the earldom of the Aqualan Empire, with up to 50 billion points. If you look closely, you will find that this earldom also has a territory, and it is a northern hemisphere of a planet that can be moved to.

The planet is about the same size as the Earth, but the temperature on it is relatively low. Only a small part near the equator is suitable for survival, and most of the rest is covered in ice and snow.

In addition, the tax arrears of Shuilan Empire are about 12 billion credit points. "I don't know which scapegoat would accept this." Yang Bo took a closer look, but he didn't expect that there were many more things about this title.

The territory under the earl title must have a sufficient population. If the population is insufficient, it will be downgraded by the empire.

Then the annual tax cannot be reduced.

Once the earl dies, his descendants will need to pay an inheritance tax of 45% if they inherit the estate. Of course, if you want to keep your title as an earl, you will have to pay an additional 20% tax.

If you do not pay this 20% more, your title will be lowered by one level.

The second-ranked mineral star is a mineral star. There are many rare energy metals on this mineral star, but the gravity of up to eight times prohibits countless mining companies.

The ten-year mining right is 30 billion points, which is why mining companies are unwilling to mine this kind of land.

Because eight times the gravity requires all mining equipment to be specially manufactured, and the energy consumption is about hundreds of times that of ordinary mineral planet mining equipment, although this mineral planet is said to have a lot of energy metals, there is no accurate figure for how much energy metal there is. .

That is to say, the investment is too large. Customizing mining and exploration equipment alone requires a lot of money.

The Bounty Hunter Guild does have a lot of things in it, including not only various armors, but also various energy stones and various equipment.

In the future, people can actually be bought and sold, and they are all officially registered slaves in the Shuilan Empire.

The most expensive among them is 12 billion points. He is the son of a duke. This duke has the strength of an A-level genetic evolver.

To put it bluntly, it is just to buy them and breed them. However, although the probability of genetic inheritance between people is very high, it is not 100%.

The key is that this duke and his subordinates are rebels outside, and whoever buys it may be targeted by these rebels.

In addition, there were also princesses for sale. These princesses violated the laws of the empire for some unknown reason and were reduced to slaves.

"Sorry, I think my life is very good now. Since you know that I am a genius, you must know that I just made a lot of money. Isn't it good for me to enjoy life with this big money?" Yang Bo looked at it roughly. After looking at it, he spoke.

 There are indeed things in the Bounty Hunter Guild that make me excited. There is the electronic interference system of the battleship, which can interfere with 99.99% of electronic equipment. However, the price of this component is a bit high and requires 900 million points.

Zhou Rui originally thought that Yang Bo would be moved after reading what was inside, but he did not expect that the other party would give such an answer.

"In this case, Mr. Yang Bo, can you leave a contact information? If you need anything in the future, you can contact me." Zhou Rui decided to wait first.

“Of course, thank you for your hospitality.” Yang Bo left each other’s email addresses with each other, drank the tea in one go, and left.

Looking at Yang Bo's leaving figure, Zhou Rui had a headache: "This kind of residents are the most difficult to deal with. They live under the command of intelligent systems all their lives and don't have much of their own thinking at all."

Yang Bo asked the fat boss to meet him after leaving the teahouse.

Came to a restaurant, and the fat boss was already waiting here.

"Why are you so anxious to find me?" The fat boss didn't know why Yang Bo was so anxious to find him.

"Boss, someone from the Bounty Hunter Guild just invited me to join the guild." The reason why Yang Bo told Fatty Boss was to establish a persona in front of Fatty Boss, that is, he didn't understand these things and had to rely on his feelings. .

"You agreed?" The fat boss didn't feel surprised when he heard this and asked directly.

"No, I don't know what to do?" Yang Bo shook his head, as if I listen to you.

“The Thief Sect and the Bounty Hunter Guild should have a close relationship. You will definitely join the Bounty Hunter Guild sooner or later, but since he takes the initiative to invite you, you can negotiate terms.”

“The Bounty Hunters Guild is indeed very powerful. It is one of the oldest social organizations. Before the interstellar era began, this organization had great power and a lot of good things.”

“You can talk to them and get a discount when redeeming points for things, usually up to 10% off. Don’t do mandatory tasks. That is, you can do tasks if you like them, and if you don’t like them, don’t do them.”

“Most people want to join a bounty hunter guild. The guild has a minimum amount of tasks every year. These can also be discussed. I am also planning to join the bounty hunter guild.” The reason why the fat boss had this idea was to leave a way out for himself.

"If something happens in the future, as long as you have the status of the Bounty Hunter Guild, you will have the right of residence in the other two countries, and the other two countries will recognize this status." The fat boss said something else that Yang Bo didn't know. things.

Yang Bo was a little surprised when he heard this: "Really?"

"Of course it's true. I don't know what exactly happened here. The Bounty Hunter Guild is illegal in the Alliance. What's the secret?"

“Just talk to them as I said, and they can join if they agree to it.”

“After all, it is an illegal organization. What should we do if we are discovered by the alliance?”

"Just don't admit it. If the Bounty Hunters Guild's list alliance could get it, the Bounty Hunters Guild would have ceased to exist. There is a reason why this kind of organization can exist until now."

“Also, let’s not accept illegal tasks. There are many kinds of tasks, including pharmaceutical tasks.”

When Yang Bo heard this, he said, "Boss, why don't you help me talk about it?"

"Of course it's no problem. I bought another batch of pharmaceutical materials and they will arrive in a few days." The fat boss was not surprised at all by Yang Bo's attitude. Who knew that Yang Bo was a resident before?

Residents are not as strong as citizens in their ability to make independent choices, because they have been brainwashed by the alliance government since childhood and are directed by those intelligent systems.

"thank you boss!"

“I should be the one to thank you. Thanks to you this time, I not only got back the money that was robbed, but also made a lot of money. With this money, I will be able to recruit more people.”

“I have the information of two girls here, what do you think?” The fat boss is now trying his best to win over Yang Bo.

"I have sent the information to your email. They are all members of our family. Don't worry about their character. There will be no problem." The fat boss assured him again and again.

“I’ll go back and watch it slowly.” Yang Bo didn’t mind, but his face was still serious.

Then the fat boss treated Yang Bo to another meal.

Before Yang Bo left, he gave Zhou Rui’s contact information to the fat boss.

Then I bought groceries and went back. The energy interference equipment I bought was almost here.

After the fat boss got the contact information, he went back to the company to handle some things. Because he had money recently, he recruited more employees.

Of course, what gives the fat boss the confidence is that he has the genetic medicines produced by Yang Bo. Regardless of these low-level genetic medicines, for most people, there is no way to access these genetic medicines.

In the Alliance, private trafficking of genetic agents is a felony, and the government limits the number of genetic agents.

“Let’s talk to someone from this bounty hunter guild!” In the afternoon, the fat boss looked at the contact information in his hand and sent an email.

Yang Bo had already moved a large box to the underground fortress at this time, and took out a football-sized round device with a base from the box.

This is a relatively advanced energy jammer. Its full name is energy shielding jammer. It is of course a civilian version. The military version is available on the black market, but it is difficult to say whether it is genuine or not.

"Let's use civilian ones first, starting from the low level." Yang Bo feels that he has a lot of room to develop photoelectric superpowers. This is just the beginning. After all, the foundation of technological society is photovoltaics. He doesn't ask to understand the principles inside, he just wants to imitate cats and tigers. That's it.
