Chapter 17: Broken House

"Generally, it is calculated by people. Everyone has his own value. No matter what task is performed, the corresponding fee will be charged according to the value. In addition, there are some subtle differences between each group. For example, our protection group usually takes the task time into consideration. Because the length of our task time is not controlled by ourselves. If it is an assassination group, if the task is not required, it depends on your ability. You complete the task on the same day and kill this person, it is the price; you spend a year collecting intelligence, studying the opponent, and then killing him, or the price. If the buyer has a deadline and you do not complete it within the deadline, it is the same as we are now, the task failed." Xiao Yang was in a good mood and explained it very thoroughly.

"What about our lurking group?" Ye Fan wanted to know his personal interests even more.

Xiao Yang frowned and said, "Your lurking team is quite complicated. In fact, the lurking mission leader will do several years. There will be many assassination, theft, protection, etc. among them. Moreover, the people in the lurking team are most afraid of exposing their identities, so even if they are at dusk, I don't know much. You should ask the crows yourself the most."

After Ye Fan nodded, he developed a new interest: "How much is your worth?"

Xiao Yang took a sip of rice and said, "150,000 a week."

Ye Fan opened his mouth wide: "It's so expensive."

Xiao Yang smiled bitterly and said, "What's this? All the people who are truly worth it are you craftsmen."

"How much are they worth like crows?" Ye Fan asked.

Xiao Yang shook his head and said, "I don't know much about this. It is rare for captain-level figures to perform tasks. Most of them look at the overall situation and pay attention to the execution of all tasks in their group. But again, this value is actually only equivalent to the salary we paid in the dusk after one task. The actual fee charged to the buyer is still based on the task situation."

Ye Fan nodded in a vague way. Xiao Yang reached out to pat him and said, "We people in the evening have three attitudes towards money. One thinks that they can be done at any time, so they will spend all their income as soon as possible. They often lose their money when they take on the next task like beggars on the roadside; the other is to work hard for a few years and withdraw completely if they make enough money. This kind of person is quite frugal compared to the former; as for the last one, making money is not his purpose at all. What he does is the life he wants. He is pursuing something else in the process. Experts in the organization, such as captain-level figures, are mostly this kind of people."

Ye Fan smiled and said, "Then which kind of you are?"

"The second type." Xiao Yang said: "I want to wash my hands after saving enough money."

"Then what are you going to do?" Ye Fan asked.

"I haven't made sure yet, I have an idea a day. But then there is no need to hurry. If you save enough money, you can take your time." Xiao Yang smiled faintly.

Ye Fan asked again: "Then how much are you going to save? How much is it still missing now?"

Xiao Yang smiled mysteriously and said, "I won't tell you anymore, it's almost done."

Ye Fan did not ask, but just smiled. Xiao Yang said regretfully: "It's a pity that this mission failed and the money can't be obtained. People like us are actually the most afraid of not saving enough money, so we just..."

The atmosphere was a little sad for a moment. Before Ye Fan could get into the state, Xiao Yang had already fallen off his chopsticks and stood up and said, "Okay, let's go!" After paying happily, the two left the small restaurant. Xiao Yang directly stopped a car and said, "I'm leaving." After that, he smiled at Ye Fan and said, "I hope to end this kind of life soon, so I hope there will be no chance to cooperate with you again."

Ye Fan smiled and said, "The cooperation task is exempted, so it is okay to work together for a meal or something!"

Xiao Yang smiled and waved his hand, got in the car. After Ye Fan watched him leave, he returned to the rental hut.

A Normal University will specially prepare dormitories for students who stay on campus during the summer vacation, but ignore them during the winter vacation, and call it encourages students to go home for the New Year. This made many people puzzled. Later, a knowledgeable person said: There are dormitories for graduates to be vacant during the summer vacation, so the school can gather students who stay on campus together for easy management; during the winter vacation, it is not, so students are encouraged to go home for the New Year without providing dormitories.

The school’s vulgar behavior made everyone despise, but the final outcome was that everyone went home for the New Year. The school was deserted, let alone the school’s rental area. There were really students who didn’t go home for the New Year, mostly from poor families, who made some money during the winter vacation and saved the round-trip travel expenses. How could such students live in this expensive rental house?

So there was a huge bungalow, and Ye Fan wandered around in it. Due to the few people, the road conditions were much better, but Ye Fan felt unprecedented cold. Especially at the moment when he opened the door, the empty room combined with his own mood, Ye Fan felt that his heart was about to be broken.

Time seemed to be lengthened all of a sudden. Ye Fan made the bed and rolled for a long time. When he saw the time, ten minutes passed. In such a room, Ye Fan could not think of anything else to do besides practicing skills. He picked up something casually and started the practice of "betting".

At first I felt that time was still passing slowly, but after gradually focusing completely, I finally forgot about time. I focused on the chalk tip in my hand, and while trying to maintain the infusion of breath, I felt the information fed back by the subtle changes in breath. Ye Fan practiced "stubborn". Compared with it, "stubborn" is actually more difficult than "break".

Simply put, "break" is like using brute force. As long as the power itself is sufficient, it is not difficult to use it; while "break" focuses on skills and requires control of the breath. Ye Fan's current focus of cultivation has shifted to "break". As for "break", he feels that with the accumulation of his own breath, he is already making progress.

With a "puff", the chalk head in his hand suddenly turned into white ash. The fate of this chalk head was rather miserable. It was not because it was blown into powder by Ye Fan's instant aura, but because of the repeated ups and downs of the breath in its body, it wandered up and down countless times at the critical point, and finally it was overwhelmed. It can be said that it was ravaged by Ye Fan with his breath to death.

At this time, the sky was getting dark outside the window. Ye Fan wiped the sweat from his forehead and patted the white ash on his hands with satisfaction. From time to time, it can be seen that he was still improving.

Ye Fan reached out to the light rope beside him, and immediately went crazy, and there was no electricity. Although there was no other electrical appliance in the house, Ye Fan's first thought was that life would not be passed. At this moment, Ye Fan really wanted to watch TV, play computers, and read at night with the lamp... He wanted to do everything he could not do when there was no electricity.

Just as he felt restless, the phone rang. Ye Fan took it out of the darkness, and the phone flashed half of his face. The caller displayed on it was: Your sister.

Ye Fan answered in confusion: "Hey, who?"

The opposite side was already furious: "Can't I hear my voice?"

Ye Fan was confused, as if this was the first sentence the other party said. But finally he knew it was Ye Ping, so he said angrily: "What are you doing?"

Ye Ping asked: "Is your mission to protect or assassinate? Why did Xu Xi die!"

"How do you know?" Ye Fan suddenly felt alert.

"The news is being broadcast." After Ye Ping said that, Ye Fan vaguely heard a few news lines from the phone, as if Ye Ping had turned up the volume.

"You still read the news?" Ye Fan was more suspicious of this. The thing always felt out of place with the young man.

"I accidentally saw it, I said, don't change the topic, what's going on?" Ye Ping asked, "Is it yours?"

"No, I don't know who it is, I almost killed me." Ye Fan said.

Ye Ping was silent for a moment and finally said, "Then be careful."

Ye Fan shuddered: "Will you still catch up with the door?"

Ye Ping said: "From my professional perspective, it is very possible."

"Then I'll come and stay there?" Ye Fan blurted out, not because he was afraid, but because he found the best excuse to get out of this small, broken house without electricity.

"I'm going out soon, and I'm not here these days, so I can't protect you." Ye Ping said.

"No, no, no, no, no, no need for your protection." Ye Fan said hurriedly.

"Then why are you here for?" Ye Ping asked, and finally asked again: "Don't you go home during holidays? Where are you staying?"

Ye Fan's real purpose is about to be exposed, but he has not concealed it: "I just live in the rented house."

Ye Ping exclaimed: "That ghost place?" He immediately felt infinite sympathy and finally said: "Then come here, I'll get the key stuck in the crack of the door, you can find it yourself."

Then Ye Fan asked the address clearly and said, "I'll come here tomorrow." He said that, and hung up the phone with Ye Ping's "dummy" sound.

Ye Fan sat in the hut for a while, wondering why he said "tomorrow passes" rather than "going right away". After thinking for a long time, he couldn't come up with an answer. Ye Fan got up and prepared to go out to find some food first.

The street outside the west school gate was not as developed as outside the east school gate. Ye Fan walked for a long time before he found that a noodle restaurant was no longer picky at this time. He hurriedly got in and ordered a bowl of ramen.

At this time, there were a few people at the restaurant. Ye Fan was dozing down with his head down, and suddenly he felt dark before his eyes. Someone sat opposite him. As soon as he raised his head, the person on the opposite side was already shocked: "Hey, why is it you?"

Ye Fan had already seen clearly that the person opposite was Liu Qing.

Before he could speak, Liu Qing turned his head and shouted, "Boss, add meat to my bowl of noodles, add two servings."

"What do you mean?" Ye Fan said dissatisfiedly.

Liu Qing smiled and said, "I want you to treat me to a meal to become a habit." After saying that, he immediately changed the topic: "Where have you been to have fun these days?"

Ye Fan said in a daze: "What?"
