Fatal Strike: Paladins Mercenary Road

Chapter 224 New Harvest

The mountain eagle was stunned for a moment. He sensed the elk's worry, so he smiled and waved his hand and said, "I don't have any ideas...

It was just the first time someone told me in such a direct tone, 'You are worth a lot of money,' and that feeling made me feel very strange."

After hearing this, the elk sniffed and said pointedly while driving: "'White Whale' has a good reputation, but he has never worked with a top team..."

Mountain Eagle was amused by the elk's slightly funny and petty appearance. He said with a smile: "You might as well just say that he has never cooperated with the Arctic fox."

The elk shook his head and said with a complicated expression: "No, Arctic Fox has cooperated with him in Estonia and Tunisia, but suffered heavy losses both times!"

Shanying frowned when he heard this and said, "Did that guy cheat you?"

The elk nodded and shook his head, and said in a somewhat depressed mood: "No, I can't say I was cheated!

"White Whale" helped us secure two big contracts, and was very willing to pay us. Even if there was a problem with the employer, he would immediately pay the balance out of his own pocket."

The elk looked at the curious eagle and said, "Contract!
White Whale is extremely persistent about the terms of the contract!

He will make both parties to the employment execute the contract very well, so well that you will feel that you are just a valuable screw, not a living person! "

Mountain Eagle probably understood what the Elk meant, but he still asked in confusion: "What's the problem with executing the contract?
He constrains both parties, not just one side...

Mercenaries earn money by selling their lives, it's fair!"

The elk sneered and said, “Fair?
If you have the opportunity to see the 'Moby Dick', you will find that there are businessmen in this world who have no conscience, no bottom line, and no emotions!
'White Whale' is able to secure big contracts for capable people, but after the deal is done, he has no problem selling out the people he worked with.

You can make money by hanging out with him, but you will never feel respected because in his eyes you are just a tool or a contract asset!"

As the elk looked at the mountain eagle thoughtfully, he said seriously: "Mountain Eagle, believe me, the white whale is definitely not a good partner!"

The elk's description is not particularly clear, but the mountain eagle has roughly outlined the outline of the "white whale".

A middleman who doesn't care about human feelings but only the interests of the contract!
This kind of person has a classic image in traditional Western cognition: the devil!

When Shanying was working in China, he experienced a huge loss due to contract issues.

The seemingly old-fashioned Nordic people's skills in setting up contract traps amazed him. In the end, if the headquarters had not helped the branch, the branch where Shanying was located would have gone bankrupt.

Judging from the attitude of the elk, 'White Whale' should not go the route of contract fraud, otherwise this guy will not live long.

Then it can only be that this guy is 'unsympathetic'!

For a highly personalized and strong team like Arctic Fox, if you only talk about business with them and not about feelings, the cooperation will not last long.

Shanying actually felt the characteristics of 'White Whale' from the beginning...

This guy sounds heroic and has extensive connections, but the impression he left on Shanying is not negative, but he doesn't have a good impression of him either.

Because he put a price on the Mountain Eagle over the phone before the two parties even met.

Being objectified may be difficult for modern people to avoid, but once they are blinded by the other party's offer and ignore other conditions, they will fall into the vortex of being exploited.

Between individuals and companies, money is often just one of the conditions for cooperation. When the money difference is not much, other conditions will become more important.

White Whale is like some celebrity agents...

I have money, resources and connections. In order to make more money, I look for suitable people to cooperate with.

But because most people with good qualities can become famous under his hands, the contracts signed with him will be very harsh.

This kind of agent usually has a lot of second- and third-tier celebrities under his control, countless resources, and makes a ton of money, but no superstar is willing to follow him. At the same time, once the celebrities under his control become famous, they will most likely turn against him.

Arctic Fox is a typical superstar in the underground world. They absolutely cannot tolerate people like 'White Whale'.

Shanying knew very well that he couldn't stand such a collaborator, so he simply nodded and said, "I'll remember what you said..."

The elk nodded happily and said, "That's right, you are the most promising young man I have ever met. Instead of cooperating with the white whale, you should go and rescue the Great White Shark.

Although that child was just a killer middleman, she was very smart and had a wide range of sources of intelligence.

Such a person is your best partner because she will respect your opinions and even put you first. "

Shanying actually knew that the two old men had good intentions towards him, but he couldn't tell Milu that he had eavesdropped on the two old men's phone call at the Red Square Restaurant that day...

These two old men have spared no efforts to pave the way for a rookie like him.

Although the two sides have obvious differences in thinking and habits, they are extremely out of sync in dealing with the Moscow issue.

But Shanying knew very well that they were the ones who cared about him the most!

The advice of people who really care about you must be respected! Because the road they pave may not be right, but the "path nodes" they design, that is, getting to know a few more important people according to their guidance, will definitely not be wrong.

Accumulating enough 'good choices' in the process will eventually help him move towards his goal.

Looking at the elk who was suddenly a little fussy, Mountain Eagle shook his head and said with a smile: "I understand!
It will probably take a few days for America to respond. Let's take a rest for two days to let our bodies recover and study the rescue plan. Then I'll take action. Do you think it's okay?"

The elk smiled and nodded and stopped talking...

After Shanying calmed down, he finally had the chance to check the changes in the Master Chief System...

He had no idea how much weapon-grade nuclear material was inside the four nuclear shells, but he could clearly feel that the changes this time were not as drastic as the last time he came into contact with 'plutonium'.

The last time 'Plutonium' appeared, it directly gave birth to BUG-level night combat and indoor combat weapons such as 'Golden Cicada', and at the same time cut the gold price of flexible armor in half.

Without these two things to rely on, Shanying might not dare to act so recklessly in Moscow.

This time, the nuclear material has brought about new changes...

New options have appeared under the Bionic Drone project. The first is to adjust the appearance of the Bionic Drone as needed...

For example, it doesn’t have to be a crow, it could also be a bird of similar size like a magpie…

In fact, it just adds a few more skins to make the drone less likely to be discovered.

At the same time, perhaps in order to make up for the lack of ground bionic drones, the project has added a set of advanced equipment that can be equipped on police dogs, which has control, monitoring, attack and protection functions.

Finally, the VSS and AK-105, two guns lit by the Mountain Eagle, have evolved...

Shanying was most interested in the guns. Although the evolutionary models did not completely transform the two guns, they did take the system-wide performance, which was already a rare high-quality performance on the market, to a higher level.

The system shows that the new VSS has an effective range of 500 meters and an optimal range of 400 meters.

You should know that the range of this gun in the most ideal state is only 350 meters, and the best range is even only 250 meters.

At the same time, the subsonic bullets produced by this gun's matching system not only have better penetration than before, but also reduce the firing noise from the original 120 decibels to 105 decibels.

This volume level probably cannot be heard in a more complex and noisy environment, even if it is ten meters away or through a door.

This is not just a slight improvement, it is a qualitative leap!

In comparison, the performance changes of the simpler AK-105 seem slightly smaller for the Mountain Eagle.

The range has been increased by 50 meters, and new changes have occurred inside the receiver...

In fact, it is not a big change. It is just similar to the design of AK-107, with an additional counter-moving balance block inside the receiver to offset the recoil during shooting, thereby improving stability and accuracy during continuous shooting.

Industry insiders call this design the "balanced recoil system" (BARS).

The only difference is that the balance block of the AK-107 is on the bolt frame, while the modification provided by the Master Chief system integrates the balance block into the receiver.

This change is definitely friendly to ordinary people because it can greatly improve the recoil problem of the AK gun family.

However, for Shanying, this change would be somewhat useful if applied to a 103mm caliber rifle such as the AK-7.62. The recoil of the 5.45mm caliber rifle is not worth mentioning to him, so it seems a bit useless.

But chicken ribs are chicken ribs, and good things are good things!

The most valuable and technologically advanced changes are those within the bionic drone project.

Changing the drone's appearance is not an essential improvement. A crow can carry two grenades into the sky, and a magpie of similar size may not be as good as a crow.

Moreover, this type of attack is not recommended even in the game, because the power and accuracy are too poor.

If you really want long-range precision bombing, you have to look at suicide drones.

Under the drone project, the one with the most real technical content is the police dog suit!
Shanying has tried this kind of suit in the game, but the police dogs and soldiers in the game are all NPCs. Compared with the more advanced robot dogs or robot cats, this suit combined with biological creatures is too troublesome to operate, so he is not particularly familiar with it.

However, he knew very well that in addition to the eyes in the sky, as a ground operative, it would be very convenient to have a partner who was agile and could also go out for reconnaissance.

The high-energy robot dog in the game is good, but at this stage Shanying can't see any hope of lighting up a medium-sized ground robot like the robot dog.

It's not just because of the gold, the Master Chief system seems to be missing something special.

Therefore, in the Master Chief system, compared to those gray, unlit items, the options for medium and large robots are simply all black, without even a gold price tag.

Shanying guessed that it might be an energy problem, but he had no idea!
But the new gadget is enough for the current Shanying...
