Chapter 254 254. When you get rewards directly without completing tasks

The lights in the city's alleys had long been broken, and no one knew whether it was caused by human error or due to years of disrepair, but one thing was certain, and that was that there was no light at all in this place.

In the darkness, all kinds of crimes are most likely to occur.

Just like now.

boom!
The fist hit his cheek with such force that the skull with prosthetic chin was deformed.

The powerful impact caused the man to fall into a coma, and the two people with him also fell into a coma.

The fist that hit them came from a guy who had just come into this world, and his fist was strong enough to pierce steel and even alloy. For these guys whose skulls were still original, this fist was obviously something of an oversized standard.

The force of the fist was just right, enough to knock a person unconscious but not shatter their head into pieces.

He skillfully searched the bodies of the unconscious guys with his hands, and it took him a while to find a few banknotes.

"Damn it, you dare to be a gangster without any money?"

To this world and this city, Mo Hao is an absolute outsider. No matter what he wants to do in this place, the first thing he has to do is to survive.

To survive and gather intelligence in human society, one thing is absolutely indispensable - money.

Mo Hao originally planned to find a place to exchange gold for some local money, but unfortunately when he found a similar store, a gunfight happened.

In other words, it was an armed robbery, and the store he robbed happened to be the one he had his eyes on.

Then I learned from conversations with people on the street that this store seemed to have acquired something good, the news leaked out, and then it was robbed.

This incident made Mo Hao give up his plan to sell gold and turn his attention elsewhere.

A thug, or gang member.

They have extensive tattoos, dyed hair, smoke, gather in groups of three or five in corners, and carry guns and sharp weapons.

All of them fit Mo Hao's stereotype of gang members, so taking advantage of the cover of night and broken street lights, Mo Hao rushed out of the darkness and knocked down three people cleanly and neatly.

The process was easy, but the rewards seemed to be proportional to the effort put in. The total amount of money the three people had on hand was less than two hundred yuan.

"Damn, what bad luck!" He kicked the unconscious gang member angrily and took away all the guns and sharp weapons on them. "I hope I can find a place to sell these junk."

There was no gain from the first order, which was not a good sign for the parties involved.

Suddenly, Mo Hao pinched a bullet with his fingers and fired it out. In an instant, the bullet flew out and shattered a corner of the brick in the corner of the wall.

"Hey, hey, hey, man, calm down, calm down."

A man walked out from behind the corner, performing a very standard French military salute to show that he meant no harm. "I have no ill intentions. I just have a job. My employer asked me to take the green-haired guy at your feet back."

After taking a look at the green-haired thug under his feet, and then looking at the nervous man, Mo Hao hooked the green-haired man under his feet with his right foot and kicked him towards the other party.

The robbery has been completed. Although the gain is not much, we should be able to find a cheap hotel to stay in for the night.

As for the matter between that man and Green Hair...

Green Hair has no value anymore, and since someone needs it, Mo Hao won't be stingy.

Just as Mo Hao turned around and was about to leave, he heard the man's voice behind him, "Hey, wait, man!"

When Mo Hao turned around, the man raised his hands again, allowing people to clearly see that he had no weapons in his hands. "I mean... sir! Have you just arrived in Polar Day City?"

"You have something to say."

"If you are short of money, you can go to Raven District Church to find Father Charlie. He has a lot of work to assign to us..."

"...Well, freelancers, of course, or mercenaries."

"Laven District Church, Father Charlie, I remember this." Watching Mo Hao leave, the man waved and shouted, "Kai Li, remember to tell the priest that Kai Li introduced you there. I will get a commission."

……

The next day.

Midnight City, Raven District Church.

After getting off the taxi, Mo Hao pushed open the church door and walked in.

Today is not Sunday, and there are not many people in the church prayer hall.

Strictly speaking, besides Mo Hao, there was only one clergyman in the prayer hall at this time.

"Father Charlie? A man named Carey introduced me here. He said you have some work that needs to be done."

When Mo Hao came here, he had already thought clearly that in this kind of high-tech world, the difference between the upper and lower levels was almost to the point of forming physical isolation.

Moreover, he had no personal information or files about this place. Even the thugs on the street had various criminal files, but he had no records at all.

It is basically impossible to travel in this city using normal methods.

So he needs to find a suitable job and earn money to buy intelligence.

Even if there is gold prepared by Mo Hao in the world of the Heavenly Book, before he becomes famous enough and poses a certain threat to the outside world, if this thing is taken out it will only attract greedy eyes.

In fact, for Mo Hao now, it is difficult to find a suitable golden person to take over.

As for exchanging money...

Mo Hao was sure that there was more than an 80% chance that the guy he was trading with was going to pay with bullets.

Father Charlie was an old man who looked to be in his sixties, with grey hair, but he was meticulously groomed and there was not a single wrinkle on his clothes.

His eyes were sharp beyond his age, and the look he gave Mo Hao reminded people of an eagle swooping down from the sky.

"Sir, is this your first time in Polar Day City?"

"What?" Mo Hao had a half-smile on his face. "Does your job require a local hukou to do it?"

"I don't mean to offend you. I just want to confirm whether you are familiar with this city. Some jobs require you to be familiar with the surrounding roads before you can send them out. I don't want the client to mess up the task, which will affect my reputation."

Father Charlie stood up and walked into the room on the right. When he came out, he handed the thing in his hand to Mo Hao.

"Here, a cell phone and a bank card. The cell phone has been modified so that if there's any work that needs to be done, it will send you a text message. The bank card password is six sixes, very clean, and no one will trace the source of the money."

"I'll give you two addresses later. They are agents in other districts. You can get a lot of work by recognizing their faces."

Looking at the things Father Charlie handed over, Mo Hao seemed a little surprised, "I thought you would give me a task and give it to me after I finished it."

If the normal process had been followed, Father Charlie should have told Mo Hao that there was some trouble that needed to be dealt with, and would give these things as rewards to him after he had completed it, and at the same time give Mo Hao the first payment for the task.

"That's something that only a rookie who has never seen blood needs to do, and you..."

Father Charlie shook his head. “I am old, but I am not blind.”

As a regional agent, Father Charlie boasted that he had met many people, and he had even told stories about the city's legends.

But when Mo Hao stood in front of him, the priest realized for the first time that the smell of human blood and sin could be so strong.

So heavy that it makes you breathless.

Father Charlie had never seen that level of blood, even in those guys who pressed the nuclear bomb to destroy the city.
