Love and passion, cutting up the wasteland

Chapter 61 Brotherhood

As long as you join the fraternity, no matter the generation gap, you are treated as brothers.

But the guards in the black market and the apprentices accepted by Old Tang were not included in this list. They only belonged to Tie Bang Tang's own forces, and they had a clear distinction between each other.

You want them to join a fraternity?

Let’s get [-] coins first and then talk about it.

"You want a street close to the East District..." Old Tang said while mentally sifting through channels that could squeeze people in.

He had no doubts about Lu Meng's request.

In the past, Lu Beiyou's residence had always been hidden. Now that he asked himself to help arrange the identity of a street resident, it was equivalent to informing him of his residence and having a fixed point of contact.

He did not expect that Lu Meng planned to move into the street because he did not want to face the impact of the Fog Man alone.

Because in Old Tang's understanding, Lei Bai's power could protect this good student, so there was no need to do anything unnecessary. He must have other intentions.

——Don’t expose your weaknesses in the wasteland.

If Old Tang knew that this last casual request was his most urgent need at the moment, Lu Meng's subjective image in the brotherhood would plummet.

If you don’t ask for anything from others, you won’t be controlled by others.

Old Tang casually arranged for a subordinate to open up the joints, and he took Lu Meng to the contact point of the brotherhood before officially joining.

In their terminology, Old Tang is the "thief leader" of the hub and is also responsible for recruiting newcomers.

The hub's contact point was not far from the black market. It looked like a two-story hut.

It was also rebuilt on the basis of the original ruins.

"Isn't it a thieves tower?"

Lu Meng was talking about the most common resident building of the Brotherhood. Although it may not always be in the shape of a tower, in his memory, the Brotherhood contact point at the hub station was indeed a thief watchtower. This is also true in non-order areas. Easier to defend.

“It hasn’t been built yet.”

Lu Meng's knowledge of the Brotherhood had already surprised Old Tang, and it must have been his teacher who told him anyway.

Lu Meng nodded.

It seems that the Thieves Tower at the hub was built during this decade.

Old Tang opened the door.

There were only a few people inside the door. Two big men were training in front of human-shaped wooden stakes. There were several treasure boxes made of different materials on the ground. There was a young man squatting on the ground holding a wire and tinkering with something.

It's said to be a treasure chest, but it's actually a training box used to train lock-picking skills.

After all, the Brotherhood was made by thieves. This is a traditional skill for training new members of the organization. Let everyone not forget the origin.

Lu Meng nodded.

You can also practice the [lock picking] skill if you have the opportunity in the future.

Old Tang took out a flat copper lock from the cabinet and handed it to Lu Meng. This was the identity mark of the brotherhood.

The key used to unlock the lock will be left with the person in charge of issuing the copper lock, Lao Tang, to confirm identity.

——Mainly because I paid [-] yuan, and I didn’t have any proof of identity, so I felt it wasn’t cost-effective.

The Brotherhood does not have a so-called headquarters, and there is no close connection between various contact points and members. Even if one or two impostors sneak in, it is actually not harmful. As long as you can uphold the principle of mutual help and equal trade, then it will be fine. When you are one of your own.

Of course, if you really want to harm the organization, there will be thief leaders like Old Tang to clean up the door.

"If you have any goods that are difficult to get rid of in the future, you can take this copper lock and go to the brother next to you who is responsible for selling stolen goods." Old Tang introduced.

"But the selling price must be calculated based on half of the market price."

"In return, the supplies provided by the smugglers in the Brotherhood can also be purchased at half price."

It seems that buying goods from smugglers at half price and then reselling them to the outside market is a way to collect the Brotherhood's wool, but in fact the smugglers' supplies are stolen goods and contraband that need to be dealt with urgently.

——It is equivalent to you, as a distributor, helping the brother who got these things first to clear his name.

When the time comes, how you want to sell in the market will all depend on your own abilities. Everyone has a different division of labor.The fraternity has set up such a mechanism to encourage everyone to behave like this.

Once the goods are circulated, a small commission, plus the dues of new members, is completely enough to support the daily operations of a regional fraternity.This is the same logic behind the black market run by Old Tang.

click.

Just then, the young man who was practicing lock picking next to the locksmith training box finally succeeded.

He stood up to rest for a while and saw Old Tang handing the copper lock to Lu Meng.

The young man stepped forward curiously: "Brother Tang, is this brother the new member?"

"What is he capable of?"

The young people do not have any malicious intentions. Only when they fully understand the new members' abilities can they know how to help each other in the future.

"I can now open the level 2 locksmith training box."

He took the initiative to introduce himself.

Lu Meng nodded. This was indeed very powerful. In terms of skill level, he was already close to level 20 in unlocking skills at such a young age.Lu Meng hadn't walked through so many empty houses, so naturally he couldn't compare. It seemed that this person was specialized in this category.

Old Tang, who was supposed to take the initiative to introduce new members to everyone, felt a little embarrassed.

In fact, Lu Beiyou is very capable in terms of his strength as a warrior, his status as a hunter, and his business as a meat seller. However, compared to his true "envoy" status, the introduction felt insufficient and a bit neglectful. .

However, Lu Beiyou's true identity cannot be brought to light so quickly.

Just when Old Tang was about to make a joke to fool the situation, Lu Meng took the initiative to speak:
"Brother, I wonder if you can demonstrate it to me again?"

"Okay." The young man agreed readily.

"Let me tell you, this unlocking... huh?"

When he was about to take out his tools and show them off to the two of them, he found that the tools he just used were nowhere to be found.

I took a look at the training box and found nothing.

"It's strange, I should have brought it with me...Oh, thank you."

Lu Meng smiled and handed him the tool.

The young man subconsciously thanked him and was stunned for two seconds.

Then laugh heartily:

"Hahaha, it turns out that this is how you count, brother. It's quite old-school!"

【Skills: 16】

The distance is very close, and the other party is friendly and unprepared, so it is easy to succeed.

"My name is Peipei," the young man extended his hand, "Brothers, do you have a chance to work together?"

"Travel to the north."

Lu Meng shook his hand back: "I'll definitely do it next time."

The young man named Peipei nodded, said goodbye, and went back to squat by the training box to practice.

It seems that he is also a diligent and pure-minded person, and he has also chosen the "broad road" of unlocking the right door.

Old Tang on the side also laughed.

He was thinking of something else.

It turns out that Lu Beiyou still has this skill. No wonder Lei Bai sent him to contact the Brotherhood.

——This is not a professional counterpart.

It's more friendly to hang out with these brothers.

Specially selecting such talents and considering them so thoughtfully - Mr. Lei can be considered thoughtful in making such an arrangement...

Feeling that he was taken seriously, Tie Bangtang was very pleased.
