90: Chapter 80: Distinctive Style 90: Chapter 80: Distinctive Style “Traditional industries, physical moguls, have been utterly defeated by the industry’s new elites of the internet age.
Doesn’t this storyline seem all too familiar?”
At this current turn of events, Andic has beco a new giant of the internet age.
Challenging Andic’s position is as tough as reaching the heavens.
To take down Andic, that’s simply impossible.
If reviving the Garden were the only goal, it would be much easier.
But if you dare not use the Dark Web, and there are no other platforms to replace the Dark Web, then reviving the Garden is just a thought.
Gao Yi pondered for a long ti before finally saying, “From now on, the Garden won’t take tasks on the Dark Web anymore.
We’ll only take offline tasks.
How about that?”
Luca shook his head and said, “Not take Dark Web tasks?
Then there really won’t be any tasks to do.
Think about it, if you were a client, who would you choose given the current situation?”
“Only take tasks on the Dark Web using the Busan account; the Garden will never show its face.”
After so thought, Luca said, “That could work, at least ensuring so inco.
But for the Garden to completely forsake the internet, that…
is impossible.”
Gao Yi scratched his head, then suddenly exclaid, “Live-stream selling!”
“Eh?
What?”
When it cos to the internet economy, China is definitely at the forefront.
Gao Yi had only just co out, so naturally, he was aware of China’s new online selling model.
“It’s where a very famous livestrear tells everyone what to buy.
It’s the sa as ordering online, and paynt is made upon completion just the sa.
Livestream selling leverages the fa and influence of the host to gather a large enough consur group, but what’s crucial in livestream selling is the host, not the platform.”
Luca thought for a mont and then said, “A host, you want to turn yourself into a celebrity?”
“Yes.”
“But that’s very dangerous.
People in the underworld who beco famous are in great danger.
How is this any different from accepting tasks on the Dark Web under the Garden’s na?
No, it’s even more dangerous than the Dark Web.”
Gao Yi let out a sigh and said, “What else can we do then?
We can’t stay on the Dark Web, and if we were to create our own, we’d only die faster.
Alright, this is just an idea for now.
Even if I wanted to beco a powerful host right now, I haven’t achieved it yet.
We will take it step by step.”
After thinking for a long ti, Luca said, “Use the Busan account to make a na, then use the Busan account to accept tasks, filter clients, and then contact clients privately under the guise of Busan to complete tasks as the Garden.
Is that what you an?”
“Yes, that’s the only solution I can think of right now, the only way to keep the Garden from fading away rapidly.”
It’s not Gao Yi borrowing the Garden’s influence now, but using his alter ego, Busan, to keep the Garden alive.
It’s not possession, it’s soul nurturing the corpse, using Gao Yi’s soul to keep the Garden’s last breath from scattering.
Though it’s tough, it’s still a path to take.
Luca nodded, speaking softly, “Chinese people always co up with strange ways to exploit loopholes in the rules and always find a way to carve out new paths.
Okay, it’s still a solution, we’ll do it like this.
So, what do we do now?”
Gao Yi also wanted to ask Luca what to do next.
But since Luca was asking, it ant he also had no idea.
If neither had a solution, then it was definitely up to Gao Yi, the Gardener, to decide.
“First, beco famous.
Create another renowned Assassin identity.”
Luca spread his hands and said, “People have started calling you ‘Restaurant King,’ ‘Restaurant Hamr King,’ ‘Hamr Demon,’ ‘Hamr Monster.’ Haven’t you seen the chat areas on the Dark Web?
Busan is already becoming famous.”
“‘Restaurant Hamr King,’ sounds good, doesn’t it?”
Luca smiled and said, “Of course, it’s good.
There are many assassins who have accomplished much more, more significant deeds than you.
But the problem is, an assassin fa is short-lived.
Famous assassins die quickly, and assassins rarely have a distinct style.
You, striking in restaurants with a hamr, have such a distinct and strong personal style unlike any other assassin.”
Gao Yi was a newcor, a novice, but despite more skillful people around, none were as famous as he, and those as famous had died.
It seems he already had a good foundation for fa.
Being too famous as an assassin isn’t ideal, as so clients want their targets taken care of quietly.
A well-known assassin would be unsuitable for such jobs.
However, so people want their adversaries taken out with a bang, to kill their enemies in a spectacular way.
If they can’t do it themselves, hiring an assassin capable of making a splash is a satisfactory alternative.
With gain cos loss, and with loss cos gain.
As long as he didn’t aim to monopolize all types of clients, Gao Yi was sure to dominate the market for those spectacular tasks.
Neither had thought of this before, but as they discussed it, the idea sparked inspiration in both Gao Yi and Luca, and their eyes lit up.
“‘Hamr King’ is a great na!”
“Strengthen the style.”
By coincidence and with shared delight, Gao Yi said, “Hamr King is good.
From now on, we’ll use this na for fa and business.”
Luca quickly added, “It’s not just the na, it’s about the style.
You beca famous so fast because your style is noticeable and unique.
Using a hamr, from now on each task must involve a hamr.
Soon everyone will know about the Hamr King.
Which client wouldn’t want their hit to be spectacular if their target doesn’t require quiet elimination?”
Gao Yi gave a wry smile, “The style is certainly unique and high profile, but that also increases the difficulty.
Approaching a target with or without a hamr, that’s two different things.”
“No opportunity?
Create one.
Offer the client a choice.
If it’s with a hamr, the price doubles.”
Luca stretched out his hand and pounded on the table twice, “The hamr is your added value!
It’s your calling card.
What we want is high-profile, no, what we want is audacity!”
“Then it’s settled!”
Gao Yi was not one to dawdle.
If the hamr brought benefits, so be it.
What’s there to discuss?
Use it if there’s opportunity; create the opportunity if there isn’t.
If all else fails, after the target is down, just deliver a couple extra hamr blows.
Both were sowhat excited, but after the excitent, Luca suddenly said, “The question is, what do we do now?”
“Now, I’m going to learn about guns, and you start organizing the safe house.
Let’s sort these things out first, and then I’ll go to the United States for a couple of guns.
After that, we’ll start taking tasks.”
“Learn about guns?”
“There’s an old…
assassin in London who’s pretty formidable.
I’ll learn from him how to conceal firearms.
Even if I can hamr my targets, I can’t take out their bodyguards with a hamr, so I need a gun, I damn well need a gun!”
Seeing Gao Yi’s gritted teeth, Luca nodded, “Alright, you practice with the gun, and I’ll reorganize our assets.
When you’re ready to take tasks, we’ll start looking for suitable ones.
But I think you might not have too much ti to practice.”
“Why?”
Luca smiled slightly and said, “The benefit of fa is that people will definitely co looking for you soon.
Specifically for you, wanting you to make a big splash with the task.
Believe it or not?”
