Chapter 18 Chapter 17 The Uncertainty Principle

"What does it mean? Your question is a bit silly." Gongdao Ge leaned back on the sofa, turning a deaf ear to the creaking sound of the springs and leather, and sneered, "It means that this test machine doesn't work! Testing me as... wolfdog blood is clearly an insult to me! Lucy, you know I am of werewolf blood."

Even though her expression was obscured by the mask, Lucy was confused from her stiff movements. "Although PY5B is an old model and is rarely used now, its stability has always been good. How could it be so wrong?"

"How do I know? Maybe PCPD didn't maintain it well?" Gongdao Ge shrugged and said, "There are rumors that the city government has reduced its funding for PCPD, and they have become stingy with the money they give to mercenaries."

"No! I probably thought of it! This model of special bloodline tester is not always stable. Many people have been deceived by Dingxin Magic's advertisements, and the same is true for PCPD. They are the first few customers, and the tester in their hands is very likely the original problematic product."

Lucy continued, "After the problem occurred, Dingxin Magic spent money to settle the storm, upgraded the old product, and slowly brought back its reputation. I guess the current police officers of PCPD may not know about this, so the error occurred. Hey, do you remember what their tester looks like? Is it different from this one?"

Gongdao Ge shook his head. He only remembered being stared at by the blue shirt, so he had no time to look at the tester.

Zhuang Xuteng searched his memory from the day before yesterday for a while, compared it with the tester in front of him, and pointed to the lower right corner of the instrument panel and said: "The slots here are different. The first slot of PCPD's machine is badly worn and empty; the second slot contains a thick blue card, and the last slot is full of dust and looks like it has never been used."

"I guessed right. PCPD gave you an old model machine, and the first slot should have a 'bug removal card' in it for it to work properly. The thick blue card you mentioned is the updated database of special bloodlines and abilities. Later models of testers only need to update the database with one card to work. In all likelihood, the guy using the tester didn't know about this and didn't use the bug removal card."

"To sum it up: PCPD is stupid anyway!" Ge Gongdao waved his hand and said, "Stop talking nonsense, test Nike and complete the registration. We still have a commission to deal with."

"Don't rush, it will be done soon." Lucy began to install the patch on Zhuang Xuteng. She came very close, and a faint mixed flower scent came from it, which made Zhuang Xuteng's nose itch and wanted to sneeze.

Fortunately, he held back, otherwise it would be very rude to sneeze Lucy. Soon, the instrument started to operate, and the readings on the panel kept changing. Lucy looked and said, "Look, now it's right, it has shown that there is a zombie physique. The index is quite high, 94/100 points. Naike, I have to admit that you are a very good zombie, maybe even one of the best I have heard of."

"Is it that good?" Ge Gongdao also became interested.

"Well, it's very rare. The higher the score, the better his adaptability is, and he won't be rejected. There are very few zombies with 80 points, and those with more than 90 points are one in a million even among zombies. Have you never known how rare you are?"

Zhuang Xuteng scratched his head and said, "The test I took when I was a child didn't give a score, I didn't know it would be like this."

"You must have used folk methods, which can only tell you whether there is or what there is, but not how strong it is." Lucy sighed and was about to tell him that zombies with high scores can earn a good income in the company, but suddenly found that Zhuang Xuteng's score was continuing to decline.

She patted the tester, making a "pop" sound, but still couldn't stop the downward trend of the reading. At the same time, Zhuang Xuteng found that waves of tingling sensations were constantly coming along the wires and patches, especially the wire connected to his chest, on which there was a thin black smoke spreading rapidly.

Oh, isn't this absorbing shadows? Zhuang Xuteng quickly muttered in his heart: Don't absorb, don't absorb, if the instrument is sucked into pieces, there is no explanation!

Perhaps it was because of sincerity that the black smoke disappeared and the reading on the instrument stabilized, stopping at a value of 34. Lucy was dumbfounded. She turned the knob and adjusted the function, but the reading could not be restored. She muttered, "It's so strange. I just saw that there were new readings coming out. How did it become like this?"

"Hehe, I guess this one in your hand is also a defective product?" Engineer Ge stretched out his arm and said, "If you are still worried, I will know after testing it."

"It costs 400 euros to buy additives for one test. You are not guaranteed by me, so I won't waste it on you!" Lucy was obviously in a bad mood. She stretched out her hand to grab several wires and pulled them off. "Okay, you helped me, and let me find out that there is something wrong with this instrument. I have to find a way to deal with it. I wonder if I can find the scapegoat."

"Then you can worry about it slowly!" Gongdao Ge smiled and rubbed his hands, saying, "We're leaving first, see you tomorrow."

"Do your best to entrust, I wish you good luck." Lucy angrily threw the wire back into the box, closed the lid hard, and still cursed.

After leaving No. 76 Punk Street, Zhuang Xuteng looked back a little guilty and asked, "Brother Dao, is she okay?"

"That's how she loves money and cares about money. As long as she loses money, she will be in a bad mood. Don't worry, once the commission is completed, she will be in a good mood as soon as she gets the commission." Ge Gongdao put his hands in his pockets and took the lead. Passers-by gave way. He thought for a while and then said to Zhuang Xuteng: "Don't worry, Lucy has a good reputation and will not betray her guarantor for money. Your zombie physique is safe with her."

"That's good." Zhuang Xuteng stroked his chest gently and said.

The two walked for a while and returned to Hongyue Commercial Plaza, where they waited for the bus. Liming District, where the square is located, is a prosperous area in Peicheng. Although it is not comparable to Shangcheng District and the latest Taiping District, it is at least much better than the industrial area.

During the day, cheap and aggressive trucks are not allowed to appear in Liming District. The streets are occupied by cars and motorcycles. The steam they emit is white, light and graceful, making them seem to be driving in the clouds. If it were an industrial area, those black exhaust gases, filled with the stench of low-priced whale oil and burnt ash, would not make people shopping feel good.

Whenever a good car passes by, Ge Gongdao can't help but take a few more glances. Zhuang Xuteng asked him if he wanted to buy one. He nodded firmly, but frowned, as if he was worried. "Nike, when you make money, I will buy a car, and we will drive to do the commissioned tasks, so we don't have to wait for the bus that is late all day. You have time to learn to drive, and then I will enjoy sitting in the back seat a feeling of."

"Oh." Zhuang Xuteng nodded. Learning to drive is certainly useful, but it still has to wait until he pays the rent and raises money for his sister’s tuition and living expenses. As a mercenary, you can earn 500 euros for one night's work, which is much more than working as a worker, but such commissions don't seem to be common.

"Brother Dao, when you accepted the commission, I noticed that your face was not very good. And I looked at the commission and I always felt something was wrong, but I couldn't tell." Zhuang Xuteng frowned and asked, "Will Lucy be cheated?" Us?"

"It's a bit strange to entrust a task, but Lucy doesn't. Your kid's worries are only half right."

"What's wrong with the mission?"

"Let's talk about Lucy first. Our relationship with the middleman is more important than the entrustment." Ge Gongdao said: "I have been a mercenary for three years and have met more than ten middlemen. Lucy will not make big money here. For high-risk commissions, her style is to be safe, secure, and have a way out. She is very cautious, and she will never do it if she tries to trick mercenaries. Unfortunately, I didn’t know that at the time. Quotes, didn’t go to her.”

"She is a trustworthy intermediary, but she is just an intermediary, not your mother. I mean, what the entrustment looks like and whether there are any problems have nothing to do with her directly. The intermediary is not responsible for the content of the entrustment, only the entrustment execution process.”

Ge Gongdao licked his dry lips and moved his chin, looking for more suitable words. "What I want to say is: Lucy helped us find out about this commission. Even if we count from last night, we only have half a day. She..."

Zhuang Xuteng put his hand on Brother Dao's arm and said, "I understand that Lucy has nothing to do with the issues in the commission. Brother Dao, I want to know what's wrong with the commission."

"Judging from some details of the envelope and the power of attorney, the commission was just issued a day ago and required to be completed tonight. There are often problems with such urgent commissions." Ge Gongdao said: "We both know very well that Er The workers of the Eleven Magic Crystal Factory have just encountered trouble. The PCPD is investigating, and there are people from the company inside. At this time, a commission to investigate the next door of the Magic Crystal Factory appears, can you not think of it? "

Zhuang Xuteng was a little nervous and panted heavily. After he calmed down a little, he asked: "Brother Dao, is this commission a trap?"

"That's not the case. The person who issued the commission doesn't know who will accept the commission, and who will he set a trap for?"

"Oh, yes, I just registered today, no one could have predicted this."

"It's not like no one, I can predict this. I say this to remind you, don't forget to be careful when traveling with you." Brother Dao smiled and said: "I think it scares you, don't be nervous. There is something wrong with this commission. , but most commissions will have problems of one kind or another, and being full of surprises is the joy of life.”

"Brother Dao, you are really good at comforting people. If it's a surprise, that's fine. But what if it's a shock, or even a panic?"

"Just do it!" Ge Gongdao waved his fist and said: "Let me tell you this...according to my experience, this commission task is like throwing stones to ask for directions. Some people want us to be that stone, otherwise they would not ask us. What time should we go to investigate, and what time should it be completed before. It is best if we collect information and no movement occurs; if there is movement, the person will also gain accordingly. "

"I kind of understand." Zhuang Xuteng said, "Then what should we do?"

"We have been asked to go there tonight. Let's go now and check the situation first." Brother Dao said.
