NIKKE, when the stars bloom

"?"
Facing Phoenix's question, Sam's expression inevitably stiffened a bit, but fortunately he was also a model of old wisdom, so he didn't care too much about "why the other party knew about the safe house", but chose to speak frankly and said:
"It's very simple. Just go buy it from those bitches in the Outer Edge."
"?"
After hearing Sam's straightforward explanation, it was Phoenix's turn to be stunned.
How could the Outer Region, which has no ability to produce any food, still have the leisure to provide the Ark with the three-no products that were originally purchased from the Ark?
What's this?
For this,
The lieutenant smiled.
It has to be said that as long as there are humans in the world, there will definitely be a bit of magic.
As joked online, novels require precise consideration of logical positions, but reality only requires a rough outline.
Now Phoenix is experiencing this for real.
The Ark sells food to the Outer Zone, and the Outer Zone then sells the food bought from the Ark back to the Ark, and uses the money to buy food from the Ark again, thus establishing a strange cycle.
"Who do they buy food from? The black market?"
In fact, the lieutenant just asked casually, but who knew that old man Sam could actually answer him.
"I don't know the specific situation."
The old man picked up his shotgun. Although his attitude had improved, he still had a hint of arrogance. He said:
“But, after surviving for so many years, I still know a few useful things.
There's a 99% chance that those money-hungry bastards are connected to Tetra.
I'm going to be honest with you, young man.
Nine out of ten underground black markets in Ark, big and small, have unclear ties with Tetra."
Chapter 299: Being in the Devil Without Knowing the Devil
Alexis's family structure is not complicated.
My mother is nearly sixty years old, my younger brother is studying for a doctorate in medicine, and my younger sister is admitted to the law department of Ark Central University.
Among the three siblings, Alexis himself is the only one who is "unmotivated".
However, it is this "most disappointing" brother who pays a total of about 300,000 yuan in tuition and living expenses for his younger siblings every year.
Add to that the shelter of his mother's safe house and his own various operational expenses, and all in all, the amount of credit points Xis needs to raise in a year is as high as 450,000 to 500,000.
"In fact, in our line of work, there aren't many missions that actually require killing people. Most of them involve doing shady things for wealthy people in the financial industry."
In the private reception room next to the capsule shelter, while waiting for his mother to arrive, Alexis explained the inside story of his industry to his new leader.
"For example, if you secretly take a photo of a boss having an extramarital affair, you can earn hundreds of thousands of dollars for each photo. It is said that the most outrageous price was over one million dollars per photo.
Boss, don't think this money is so easy to make.
Generally speaking, the person who hires us to take this kind of photos is most likely going to marry a boss, and the couple's marriage is one of interest, and their private lives are basically separate.
But, once the cuckold thing is exposed on the Internet, the person being cuckolded will lose face, and the relationship between the couple will definitely be affected..."
laugh--
Just as Alex was talking excitedly, a spirited old lady with curly hair walked in decisively from outside the door.
She didn't even look at her eldest son, but instead turned her gaze to the strange man across the table.
Then, after scanning it back and forth three times from beginning to end, the stern-faced old man finally smiled warmly and spoke a shocking statement.
"You are so young, but you have such a great temperament. Have you found a partner?"
Phoenix: “?”
xis: “…”
"If you don't have any, I can introduce you to some. Do you like the kind of quiet, pretty and quiet female college students?
Do you mind if the woman studies law?
Although I might have to study for a master's and a doctorate, it doesn't matter, it's just studying, and it won't hinder our conversation..."
"mom!"
Without waiting for the old lady to finish her words, Alexis came back to his senses from his daze and quickly stood up. Then he took two steps forward, carefully took his mother's hand, and half-pleading and half-pushing her to walk out of the reception room.
laugh--
When the soundproof door was closed again, in the corridor, Mr. Killer could no longer hold back his indignation. He spread his hands and asked angrily:
"He's my new boss! How can you introduce your daughter to your son's boss?!"
"What's wrong?!"
Who would have thought that the mother not only did not feel the slightest remorse for her behavior, but instead glared at her son with a sense of righteousness and began to scold him.
"It's because you're my boss that I wanted to introduce Sofia to him! Otherwise, with your sister's looks, why would I need to introduce her? The fake roses we receive every year could be used to set up a stall!"
"No, Mom! Our family is not short of money. You are just..."
"I don't need money, shit!"
As the topic turned to money, the old lady's face turned red with anxiety.
"You think your dentist brother is a fool, and your lawyer sister is an idiot. The three of you grew up eating from the same pot. Don't you know how much wealth your family has?
From high school to college, you have to pay hundreds of thousands of tuition fees a year. Even if they don't know what you are doing, they can at least guess that the money you earned is not legitimate!
No shortage of money...
Bullshit, we don’t lack money! If our family really didn’t lack money, there would be no need for you, as a brother, to gamble your life for money every day! "
At this point, the old lady with red eyes reached out and held the back of Coco's hand, and suddenly lowered her voice:
"Silly boy, do you know that in order to prevent you from continuing to work in an improper job to support her schooling, Sophia has thought about becoming the mistress of the fathers of those rich second-generations in school several times?
If I hadn't stopped her again and again, she would have traded her body for tuition fees because of her stubborn temper.
Mom has thought it through clearly now. Who can have a good ending if they kill people? Your sister's plan is fine. If you can avoid doing those bad things by hooking up with a rich man, then just hook up with him. Try to get a younger partner.
I see your new leader is very young, and his aura is not like that of his peers. In your case, you should find a way to help your sister make a connection, and the rest depends on Sofia's own wishes. It would be best if it can be successful. As her brother-in-law..."
"Shh-"
When Xisi heard his mother say that he was the brother-in-law of Lieutenant Killer Xing, he felt his eyes go dark, but deep in his heart, there was an indescribable expectation hidden.
Tormented by double thinking, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration and had to change the topic of blind dates and said:
“Stop, stop, stop, Mom, we’re getting off topic.
I came to see you today because I want to take you, Luther, and Sophia to live in the Outer Rim for a long time.
The specific situation is a bit complicated. In short, I just changed jobs and changed my leader. I am afraid that someone will break the rules and retaliate against you by skipping over me.
such,
Let's call Luther and Sophia out first. Time is very short, the sooner the better."
As soon as these words came out, the old lady's bloodshot eyes immediately lit up. I don't know what she was thinking, but she actually took out her cell phone and said while making a call:
"Okay, okay, let's meet first. I'll ask your sister to come over in her OL uniform. Mom is an experienced person, and things between men and women are hard to predict. If they fall in love, you, as her brother, can't do anything about it."
xis: “…”
After a long silence, the killer, who had been licking blood on the tip of the knife for many years, could only sigh helplessly and make a pleading sound after hearing his mother repeatedly instructing her sister to dress "dignified and decent".
"…Mom—"
……
……
"Is this... okay?"
Upstairs in the Cyber Girlfriend Experience Hall, Alex's most beloved sister, a female college student named Sophia, was pursing her lips and standing there nervously, allowing her mother to look at her back and forth, and allowing her two brothers to look at each other with dark faces.
During the phone call, she had already understood the whole situation.
Therefore, tonight she deliberately put on a suit that looked capable but was actually slim and sexy, and a pair of thin-rimmed black-framed glasses without prescription, in order to suppress her student-like air in the shortest possible time.
"Alright, this outfit is similar to other female lawyers in society. Wipe off the lipstick and replace the thin-framed glasses with thick-framed ones. Remember, you must look like a student and have a sense of youth."
Under her mother's experienced modification, Sophia's unique cold quality reappeared. It was different from the noble purity of the flowers on the high mountains and the lotus in the mud, but a kind of coldness and arrogance that could arouse a man's desire to conquer her.
at last,
I still embarked on this path...
This road has been slandered by various vicious students since junior high school...
The always proud female college student looked at herself on the phone, then glanced at her brothers with complicated expressions out of the corner of her eyes. Thinking of what they had done secretly to protect her, the feeling of grievance that was trying to rise in her heart suddenly dissipated for the most part.
In the Ark, the poor are like this.
There is no dignity at all.
I don't know if Seth's new leader is really as my mother said, young, calm, and extraordinary...
Just as Sophia was confused and lost in thought, a family of four had already arrived at the door of the reception room.
laugh--
The door opened slowly.
When the reserve female lawyer clearly saw the face of the person sitting in the room, her originally tangled thoughts suddenly stopped.
"?"
She seemed to have seen this face...
"!"
I remembered the video that my noble roommate had shown me a few months ago… The commander who was fighting with Letcher on the ground and then went to save his subordinate Nikki without hesitation had this face!!!
She couldn't have remembered it wrong.
Any girl who still has fantasies about the Prince Charming will never forget the commander's face in the video after watching it.
Perhaps she had lowered her expectations too low before coming here. When Sophia vaguely realized that she might be on a blind date with a commander who was invincible on the battlefield, she felt like jumping off a bungee, and her clear face was instantly flushed.
And this scene,
This successfully shocked her two brothers and made the old lady smile on the spot. Only a certain lieutenant who had no idea of his own charm showed a little doubt in his eyes.
Xixi's sister...
With such social anxiety, has she ever thought about how she can become a lawyer in the future???
Chapter 300 Let Others Play
something is wrong,
It's not right.
When Coco witnessed his sister's fleeting nervousness and the remaining blush on her face, the killer's heart began to beat like an alarm bell.
It was obvious that Sofia knew about the lieutenant.
The Internet is so developed these days that no matter how handsome a man is, he can't make a woman blush at first sight.
Only when you know the second lieutenant's deeds but have almost no contact with him, can you feel the surge of emotion at the moment of seeing him in person.
Just like a military fan touching a real gun or a fan meeting his idol, everyone instantly let go of their emotions and released their long-suppressed desires.
Therefore, excitement is the norm.
If you are not excited, it means you don’t love me enough.
Fortunately, Sophia didn't look like she was in love, otherwise Alex felt that his family would most likely be killed by the black gloves of the Pure Land.
"Um... the boss."
