Chapter 10: 10 - ck and Gold Cards
Wade soon left the bar to prepare for his next course of action.
Now, only Derrick and Weasel were left in the bar.
"You want to be a mercenary?"
"Yes, I need the money." Derrick nodded.
Prior to this conversation, Wade had already introduced Weasel''s work to Derrick.
He was an information broker and an arms supplier.
While running this mercenary bar, Weasel would provide mercenaries with somemissions at a reasonable price and earn a part of themission from them. Simply put, Weasel is an NPC in a game who releases tasks. The only difference, this wasn''t a game.
If you have enough money, you will also have to buy some prohibited items from the Weasel.
For example, firearms. For another example, he could hook you up with a fake identity.
Just in time for him. Now that Derrick was short of money and needs a legal identity, it was the perfect time to find Weasel.
Weasel looked at Derrick with contemtion.
After thinking for a while, he said, "Well, for Wade''s sake."
With that, Weasel took out a stack of gold and ck cards from behind the bar.
"Although you may have heard of it from Wade, I will follow the process and briefly introduce the rules here. There are mainly two types of entrustments here, gold card and ck card."
Weasel picked up a gold card and exined, "These gold cards are rtively low in difficulty. The advantage is that you don''t need to bear too much risk but rtively the payout would be less."
"What about the ck card?" Derrick asked along the way.
"This is a bit moreplicated."
Weasel reced the gold card in his hand with a ck card: "ck card entrustment is generally more difficult. The only plus point is that the reward is more than the gold ones. The higher the difficulty, the higher the pay. However, I must state in advance that after receiving the entrustment, how it will bepleted is your choice. You can do it with whatever is within your capabilities."
"But, just to be clear. When you ept thismission, everything that happens to you after that, you will have to bear everything alone. Even if you are Wade''s friend, I won''t help you take the me. I''m just an ordinary broker. Understood, right?"
"Yes yes, understood." Derrick nodded.
"I hope you really do understand how dangerous this profession is." Weasel shrugged, said nothing more and put all the cards in front of Derrick.
Derrick went through them all non-seriously.
The cards are all printed with the target person''s name and on the back of the card, there was a note about the task, which indicates the target person, entrustment and reward.
In the stack of gold cards that Weasel gave Derrick, most of the remuneration after Weasel''s share was around 50 USD to 200 USD. As Weasel said, these gold ones basically have no risk, they are missions such as teaching a cheating man a lesson or threatening a stalker. The goldmissions are often things that won''t kill people.
Compared with the gold cards, the entrustments of the ck cards were much more dangerous.
{Kill the Russian Ross gang member, Iwan Kharastov, 1,000 USD}
{Surveince of the members of the Blood Wolf Gang, Warner Hewlett, 5,000 USD}
{Kidnap the rich businessman''s daughter for ransom. Ashley Suzanne, 100,000 USD}
The entrustment of these ck cards almost always involved some big and powerful or rich person. And, the entrusted task also needed to adopt some necessary methods that cannot be shown in the light to bepleted.
Derrick couldn''t bear to read half of the ck cards. He just wanted to make some money and get himself legal status, he didn''t intend to professionally be an elite mercenary like Wade.
Weasel seemed to see what Derrick was thinking and joked, "What? Are you scared?"
Derrick said calmly, "I''ve never been able to do these sneaky things."
At this moment, the familiar achievement system panel popped up suddenly.
[Title unlock chance triggered]
[Unlock condition: Kill fifteen sinful viins (0/15)]
[Awarded Title: Super High School Level: Sharpshooter]
''Mission for an unlockable new title?''
The sudden prompt in front of his eyes immediately attracted Derrick''s attention.
Finally, he triggered the title-unlocking task again.
''So, basically, this means, I have to kill fifteen wicked people who havemitted a lot of crimes?''
Derrick read the unlocking conditions and thought about it.
Right at the moment Weasel was about to put away the ck cards muttering, "You are smart. Although the rewards for these ck cards are nice,pleting them isn''t easy and it is not a wonderful process. If you make some unnecessary enemies, theirckeys will rush towards you like a pack of mad dogs, Gnaw you"
Derrick suddenly pressed down on the ck cards that Weasel was taking away and said, "I''ll ept themission from these gangsters."
Weasel looked confused.
Why did he suddenly change his mind when he looked like he didn''t want to cause any more trouble for himself a few moments ago?
"Wait. Didn''t you say you didn''t want to make unnecessary enemies?"
Derrick looked at Weasel righteously and solemnly said, "It''s not because of the money, not at all. The main thing is to fight crime. I''ve always disliked these kinds of gangsters, doing wicked shit to innocent people. I finally have a reason to fight with them."
"...But you could''ve just killed them because they were evil. There need not"
"Just stop and give me the card, Weasel," Derrick said with a righteous and kind smile on his face.
''No way I called this man smart'' Weasel thought in his mind.
