Chapter 113
With the development of Ni Yongyao's own strength, and with Kong Sang and Yazi becoming maids, Kuriyama Chiaki, who served as both bodyguard and secretary, gradually became dispensable.
Rather than leaving her here to go to waste, it would be better to send her to the Continental Hotel. With Kuriyama Chiaki's abilities, she is more than qualified to be a front-desk receptionist. Besides, Kuriyama Chiaki was a killer by trade, so it could be considered returning to her old profession.
"Yes, Mr. Ni."
Kuriyama Chiaki nodded, having no objections to Ni Yongyao's arrangements. This is the benefit of characters redeemed through the System; even if Ni Yongyao ordered them to die, they would execute it without the slightest hesitation.
"John, get the hotel open as soon as possible. Also, don't forget to reorganize the market."
Ni Yongyao instructed.
The purpose of establishing the Continental Hotel was to reorganize the chaotic and disorderly killer market in Hong Kong and integrate the entire market. Once successful, anyone wishing to hire a killer would have to post a task through the Continental Hotel. As for those lone-wolf killers, if they wanted to take on tasks, they would have no choice but to join the Continental Hotel.
While bringing in huge profits, it could also provide Ni Yongyao with a large amount of gold coins. The Continental Hotel belongs to Ni Yongyao, and any tasks completed by the killers within it count as Ni Yongyao killing indirectly.
This is also the reason Ni Yongyao had John Wick establish the hotel.
"Yes, Mr. Ni."
John Wick agreed, then immediately left the study with Kuriyama Chiaki.
……
"Gold coin +1!"
"Gold coin +1!"
"Gold coin +1!"
"Gold coin..."
Ni Yongyao watched the system notifications appearing continuously and was very satisfied.
Since the Continental Hotel opened, gold coins arrived every day, and as time passed and the hotel's business increased, the daily gold coins obtained were also slowly increasing.
In less than a week, Ni Yongyao had already harvested 40 gold coins. The quantity wasn't huge, but one must know these were obtained automatically; Ni Yongyao didn't need to worry about them at all, just like an idle game automatically collecting resources.
And right now, the Continental Hotel had only just opened, and its reputation hadn't spread yet. It is foreseeable that once the entire Hong Kong market is reorganized, the daily gold coins obtained will be an extremely considerable sum.
"Beep, beep, beep!"
At this moment, Ni Yongyao's mobile phone rang.
The maid Kong Sang answered the phone, then handed it to Ni Yongyao's ear, saying, "Master, it's a call from Chiaki."
"Chiaki, what is it?"
Ni Yongyao asked.
"Mr. Ni, there is a person named Peng Yixing (from the movie 'The Legend of the Gun') who wants to join the hotel, but before that, he insists on seeing you in person."
Kuriyama Chiaki reported.
"Peng Yixing?"
Upon hearing this name, Ni Yongyao's heart stirred, and he recalled memories related to Peng Yixing.
Peng Yixing was originally a Hong Kong practical shooting champion. After accidentally killing someone, his inner desire for slaughter began to awaken, and from then on, he became a killer.
As a killer, Peng Yixing's standard was very high. His practical shooting experience allowed him to kill targets in his line of sight within an extremely short time. In terms of marksmanship alone, there are very few people in Hong Kong who can compare to Peng Yixing.
"Bring him over."
Ni Yongyao said.
Half an hour later.
John Wick walked into the study, followed by an expressionless man; this person was Peng Yixing.
"Mr. Ni, the person has been brought."
John Wick said, standing beside Ni Yongyao while reaching a hand into his coat to grip his gun handle, his gaze vigilantly fixed on Peng Yixing. If Peng Yixing made any dangerous moves, John Wick could kill him in the first instance.
"You are the boss of the Continental Hotel?"
Peng Yixing sized up Ni Yongyao, a dangerous expression flickering in his eyes, as if he were a bloodthirsty beast. After becoming a killer, Peng Yixing's desire for slaughter grew stronger and stronger, to the point where it was now almost impossible to suppress.
"If I join the Continental Hotel, how many tasks can you give me each month?"
Peng Yixing licked his lips; compared to the reward, he cared more about how many people he could kill. For the current Peng Yixing, money was merely an external object; only slaughter could make him feel satisfied.
"Tasks are not a problem, but if you want to join the hotel, I need you to offer your loyalty."
Ni Yongyao said indifferently. He knew Peng Yixing's ability clearly, and even more so that this was a double-edged sword; if he wanted to use Peng Yixing well, he had to control him firmly.
Clang.
A dagger was tossed in front of Peng Yixing.
Peng Yixing quickly understood Ni Yongyao's meaning. Without much hesitation, he picked up the dagger and cut off his own little finger. After the Continental Hotel was established, lone-wolf killers found it difficult to get tasks; if they wanted to continue, joining the hotel was the only choice.
"Is this enough?"
Peng Yixing didn't change his expression, placing the severed finger on the desk.
"Very good."
Ni Yongyao glanced at the severed finger, then gave John Wick a look. The latter understood, picked up a syringe, and walked to Peng Yixing's side, injecting a nano-monitoring chip into Peng Yixing's head.
"What's in your head is a micro-bomb. If you betray the Ni family, your head will go 'bang' and explode into fireworks."
Ni Yongyao said.
"I only care about when I can start tasks."
Peng Yixing had no reaction to the extra bomb in his head; for him, the most urgent thing was killing people. He hadn't received a task for a week, and the bloodthirsty instinct in his body had almost driven him crazy.
"John, arrange a suitable task for him."
Ni Yongyao snapped his fingers and said.
"Yes, Mr. Ni."
John Wick nodded.
……
Soon, half a month passed.
"Gold coin balance: 320."
These gold coins were all obtained from the Continental Hotel, with Peng Yixing alone providing dozens. After joining the Continental Hotel, Peng Yixing was like a beast escaped from a cage, beginning to kill frantically. Often, as soon as one task ended, he would immediately take on a new one, having no time to rest at all.
This efficiency, comparable to 007, made Ni Yongyao very satisfied.
"Let's do a few draws to test my luck."
Having not drawn for nearly a month, Ni Yongyao felt a bit itchy, so he opened the lottery interface.
"One lottery draw costs 100 gold coins. Do you want to start the lottery?"
"Start!"
Ni Yongyao said without hesitation.
"Drawing..."
"Ding!"
"Congratulations to the host for obtaining the four-star killer: Rambo!"
"Gold coin balance: 220."
"Rambo?"
Seeing the system notification, Ni Yongyao's face revealed surprise.
Rambo comes from the movie 'First Blood'. He is a Vietnam War veteran who once served in the Green Berets special forces and achieved illustrious military exploits on the battlefield.
Rambo is proficient in various weapons, hand-to-hand combat, jungle warfare, as well as driving tanks and planes, and has rich experience in how to kill enemies; he can be called the king of Vietnam War soldiers.
The next moment, a flash of light and shadow passed, and a tall, muscular man stood before Ni Yongyao; it was Rambo.
【Name: Rambo】
【Profession: Soldier】
【Height: 178cm】
【Specialties: Special operations, jungle warfare, vehicle driving】
"Mr. Ni."
Rambo, wearing a military green jacket, knelt on one knee before Ni Yongyao.
"Ding!"
"Congratulations to the host for obtaining master-level jungle warfare experience through Rambo!"
Accompanied by the system notification, a large amount of information appeared in Ni Yongyao's mind, all related to jungle warfare, including how to hide oneself in the jungle, track enemies, set traps, and so on.
In just an instant, Ni Yongyao felt as if he had been struggling in the jungle for countless years, and he was extremely familiar with everything about jungle warfare.
Ni Yongyao sized up Rambo, revealing a satisfied expression. This muscular man, whether used to expand the Ni family's influence or placed in the Continental Hotel, could play a huge role.
