Chapter 40 One second equals a year, who can resist the temptation?
Chen Jun wanted to wear the gold watch he had just received, but found that his hands were too big and he couldn't fit it in.
"This watch should be 18K gold. I remember seeing Rolex gold watches in a magazine, and the cheapest ones cost tens of thousands of US dollars. This is equivalent to making a small profit of over 100,000 RMB."
If I were still working in China, earning only a few hundred yuan a month, I would have to work for 10 years without eating or drinking to save up that much.
No wonder so many countries love to wage war; war is indeed the fastest way to make money. The Rothschild family is a prime example, amassing a fortune through World War I and World War II.
Chen Jun felt a deep sense of melancholy; it takes ten years to earn money in just one second.
The difference is too big.
"However, although this way of making money is quick, I still made the biggest mistake a novice can make: I got greedy but wasn't careful enough. If that guy had a rifle and shot me from behind, I would have been dead long ago."
They say you learn from your mistakes, and new recruits are prone to making stupid mistakes. Chen Jun has finally come to a profound understanding of this.
We must never repeat this mistake.
Chen Jun is growing rapidly in battle, and Xing Tian is also growing in the same way. However, their different growth paths will determine their different life outcomes.
Just as Chen Jun was reflecting on himself and deeply remembering the price he paid for this growth, the voice of Captain Roger came through the radio again after a period of silence.
"The target has been driven away, everyone gather here."
The captain gave the order over the radio, and Chen Jun packed his things and jogged to the village.
"Xingtian performed well; his feel for guns is superior to that of ordinary people."
The fast and slow machine slid down the tree trunk and patted Xing Tian on the shoulder, who had just gotten up. Xing Tian stood there in a daze without saying a word.
"What's wrong? I heard from Buck and the Butcher that this isn't your first time killing someone. Are you nervous?" Fast and Slow Machine asked, puzzled.
"Back then, it was too rushed, and I was very nervous, so I didn't pay attention to that much. But this time it's different. Through the scope, I can clearly see how the person I hit had his head shattered and how his brains flew out."
Xing Tian closed his eyes and took a deep breath; his trembling fingers betrayed his emotions.
"There's a first time for everything. You did a great job. If it weren't for your shot, I might have been killed. You saved my life. I owe you one."
Kuaishuji was no longer as taciturn as before; his attitude towards Xingtian became much more enthusiastic.
This is what Big Buck meant by recognition!
To integrate into the wolf pack and speak freely with everyone, one needs to gain their approval and acceptance, and Xing Tian has already achieved this.
"Alright, stop overthinking and let's go."
Kuai Manji took Xing Tian's arm and led him towards the village.
Xing Tian had not fully recovered emotionally; the image of exploding brains kept flashing before his eyes, and he couldn't bear to look at the corpses on the ground when he passed by on his way back.
When Xing Tian arrived at the village square, he immediately saw the big guy Chen Jun sitting next to him, grinning foolishly.
"Brother Jun, what's going on? Why are you so happy?"
Seeing that Chen Jun was unharmed, Xing Tian was very happy, and his gloom dissipated considerably. Curious about what Chen Jun was happy about, he quickly walked over.
As soon as I arrived, I saw Chen Jun holding a watch in both hands, looking at it from left to right and fiddling with it with great affection.
"A gold watch? Or a Rolex?"
Rolex's status in the watch industry is undeniable, and Xing Tian knew a thing or two about it. He couldn't help but lean closer and say, "If this watch is real, you'll be rolling in money, Brother Jun."
"Hehe, I just asked the captain, and this watch is a genuine Rolex, starting at $20,000." Chen Jun stretched out his index and middle fingers, his mouth grinning from ear to ear.
"My god, you can earn 20,000 yuan in just a few minutes. That's over 100,000 yuan in RMB. You could buy a courtyard house in Kyoto. This money is too easy to make."
Xing Tian stared wide-eyed, his eyes filled with envy, which then turned into anticipation. He said confidently, "No way, next time I'm going to apply to join the assault team too. Hiding in the back with the sniper team, we never even get a chance to eat hot shit."
Xingtian himself did not have much desire for money.
But now that he owes so much money, he has no choice but to work hard to earn it.
"Okay, let's team up, you two. I'll be the tank in front, and you'll be the damage dealer in the back. We'll definitely be the strongest duo." Chen Jun raised both hands in agreement.
"Chen Jun, Xing Tian, you two come here."
Captain Roger called out names over the radio, interrupting Chen Jun and Xing Tian's casual conversation.
Following the instructions, they arrived at a mud-walled, thatched hut. The cowboy on guard outside made a hand gesture, indicating that the captain was inside and that Chen Jun and Xing Tian should go in by themselves.
"We're not good at interrogation, I really don't know why they called us here."
Chen Jun complained to Xing Tian, then ducked through the wooden door and followed Chen Jun inside, looking equally puzzled.
Upon entering, they saw the butcher and his men preparing to interrogate the three wounded prisoners tied in the middle.
"You two are here. Watch from the sidelines. Knowing how to interrogate prisoners to obtain information is an essential skill for any excellent mercenary."
The captain pointed to the right side of the gate, as if a space had been cleared out specifically for them.
"I have a bad feeling."
Xing Tian walked behind Chen Jun, frowning as he whispered a reminder.
"They didn't care when dozens of people were hanged there before, but now that it's their turn to interrogate, they're probably no better than them."
To avoid being overheard by the butcher, Chen Jun also lowered his voice.
But the butcher seemed to have super hearing; he overheard Chen Jun and Xing Tian's conversation, turned to look at Chen Jun, chuckled, and drew his military knife from his waist.
Only then did Chen Jun and Xing Tian see the true appearance of the Butcher's Exclusive Military Knife.
The overall design looks very strange, like a shark knife from United Knives, but half the size larger. It has a handguard around the handle with dark red spikes, as if it were covered in dried blood.
It exudes an eerie and chilling murderous intent, giving people a creepy feeling.
Seeing the butcher pull out his strange knife, Chen Jun and Xing Tian became even more certain that what was about to happen would definitely overturn their understanding.
that's the truth.
The butcher, carrying a military knife, walked up to the three men and first had Di Huo, who understood Funan dialect, ask the three prisoners to reveal the location of the base.
The prisoner seemed to have anticipated this, and did not utter a word even as he faced the cold blade.
They insisted they had just joined and didn't know where the base was.
The butcher didn't bother arguing with them. He immediately hung one of them upside down, feet up, and took off his shoes and socks, revealing filthy feet that looked like they hadn't been washed for a month.
Chen Jun could smell the stench of feet even from three or four meters away, but the butcher seemed to have no sense of smell and showed no unusual expression.
He turned to Chen Jun and Xing Tian and said, "I've seen you use knives in the mall. Your techniques are too immature. You just slash and stab randomly without any method."
Since we happen to have three props on hand today, I'll take this opportunity to give you a lesson.
