"My lord, there is nothing I don't know about in Gudan Town, if you have anything to do, just tell me."
"If your lord needs to take a rest here, I can introduce you to the best hotel and the most beautiful and considerate maid."
"The equipment on your lord seems to have been damaged a lot. I know there is a blacksmith shop run by a dwarf, and the craftsmanship is the best in the town."
"..."
Along the way, Lucio spared no effort to show his worth in front of Chen Rui, but Chen Rui knew his intentions and did not open his mouth. In fact, he doesn't have any killing intentions for this little pawn, Lucio. He just needs to apply for an identity certificate and go to the Longhuang Empire. news.
"Your great-grandfather was an officer of the Longhuang Empire?" Chen Rui finally asked.
Lucio, who had just listed out the family tree and hoped to be associated with this "division-level powerhouse" so as to save his life, heard this rhetorical question, and quickly replied: "Yes, my great-grandfather was once a spearman of the Red Dragon Army. The captain of the brigade, it is a pity that his family fell into poverty. When it was my father's time, he moved to Yangshao Kingdom. Later, his father died of illness, and I... "
Speaking of the glory of his ancestors, compared to his current situation, Lucio lowered his head in shame: "My dream since childhood was to become a spearman and inherit the glory of my grandfather. Unfortunately, my luck is quite bad..."
bad luck? Is it because of the tough job of spearman? Chen Rui remembers a saying, "Since ancient times, spearmen have been hard-working, and the most lucky is E." The more typical one is a hard-working man holding a "red rose that breaks the devil".
Of course, Chen Rui knew that Lucio's embarrassment contained a lot of artificial moisture, so he shook his head noncommittally, and did not speak again.
The bitter spearmen were quite familiar with the terrain here, and after about an hour and a half, the two walked out of the forest and came to Gudan Town.
Chen Rui was taciturn along the way, and he became more and more mysterious in Lucio's heart. He didn't dare to ask more questions, but asked flatteringly: "My lord, as we all know, the emblems of the craftsman, the badge of the pharmacist, the badge of the academy, and the badge of the mercenary are all It is an identity certificate that is common to all countries, but there is only a mercenary union in Gudan Town, if you don’t mind, you can register as a mercenary for temporary use.”
The maker badge and the pharmacist badge are in Chen Rui's storage warehouse, but they are the badges of the demon world, and there are also the engraved logos of the three empires. It is definitely impossible to use them in the ground world. Chen Rui pondered for a while, and said: " Then go to the mercenary union, I've always kept a low profile and don't like publicity, do you understand what to do?"
This sentence implied a threat, and Lucio shook his head quickly: "Understood! Please rest assured, my lord!"
The two came to a larger building with a sword-shaped logo on it.
After entering the door, there is a hall. There are many people in the hall. They should be mercenaries. Not long after the two entered the hall, they heard a disdainful voice from the side: "Look who is that? It's not a bad gun." 'Lucio? Even the gun is broken, this time it's a veritable piece of trash."
The one who opened the mouth was a bearded man with a broad sword on his back, his strength was D-, a level higher than Lucio's.
A few mocking voices from the side also sounded: "This guy usually only bullies some rookies and has no skills. I saw him being chased by a flame pig the other day, and half of his pants were burned, haha!"
"Lucio is not as simple as a waste, he is still unlucky. Last time he went blind to blackmail the guard captain's new cousin who came here, but he was severely beaten and imprisoned for three months."
"..."
Lucio didn't dare to say anything, and walked forward with his head down.
A petite and mature female mercenary said, "Hey! That kid who is following behind, Lucio is not a good guy, don't be fooled by him!"
This was considered kind advice, Chen Rui glanced at the female mercenary, and still followed Lucio.
"I don't even accept Elder Sister Yi Na's kindness, this rookie deserves to be tricked to death!"
"I bet this rookie was cheated out of at least thirty white crystal coins."
"Fifty white crystal coins, how about we take a gamble?"
Chen Rui's faint voice rang in Lucio's ear: "It seems that you are quite famous."
Lucio blushed, and lowered his head. In front of him was the "reception desk". Right in front of him was a pretty girl, and behind him were a few girls who were busy. The huge bulletin board on the side details the various levels of mercenary missions, including content, time limit and rewards. The most eye-catching thing is the popular task marked on the big black sign. There is no mercenary union in the devil world. Chen Rui took a few extra glances curiously.
"Sandy, my friend wants to become a mercenary, please register for me."
Sandy took a look at Lucio, and handed Chen Rui a form. Chen Rui is now the face of the earth nerd that Sea of Death has always used. His appearance is not surprising. He immediately filled in the name of "Li Cha" in the form, and the rest Naturally, the information is fabricated based on what Lucio said.
Sandy took the form, glanced at it quickly, and nodded: "Li Cha, I don't know if Lucio has clearly explained to you that to become a union-certified mercenary, you must first complete the simplest qualification tasks. Prepare mercenaries. Then, after completing three white crystal-level missions within a month, you can become an official mercenary with a white crystal badge."
Lucio hastily said: "Um... so, Sandy, please register Li Cha to join my Spear Squad, so as long as you complete the preparatory mercenary mission, you can directly become an official mercenary."
This is indeed the rule of the trade union. As long as you become a reserve mercenary and officially join the registered mercenary team, the reserve mercenary can directly "become a regular" and get the badge. This is not a loophole, mercenary is a profession that takes one's life to fight, one mistake will cause casualties or even destroy the group, a formal mercenary team will definitely not recruit weak players.
"The preparatory task should be to hunt the wind rabbit. Here is the body of a wind rabbit. Please check it." Lucio took out the wind rabbit he hunted on the road and put it on the table.
"That's right, it is indeed a fresh Fengtu corpse. Li Cha can already obtain the qualification of a reserve mercenary, but..." Sandy took out a form and looked it over carefully as if confirming, "Lucio, I'm afraid... you Without this qualification to recruit players, the Spear Squad is now in a frozen state because it has not completed an Amethyst-level task within a year. According to the regulations, from now on, you must complete an Amethyst-level task within seven days before you can join the team. Unfreeze, or the Blazers will be disbanded forever."
"What?" Lucio was shocked: "It's been a year so soon? Why didn't I receive the notice in advance?"
"Hmph! A waste like you who can't stand failure only knows how to cheat and cheat all day long, and get drunk to relieve his sorrows. How can he remember the time? Naturally, he doesn't need to waste effort to notify." A thick voice came from behind, it was a A middle-aged man with a red beard and a scar on his face.
"Master President." Sandy's words revealed the identity of this red-bearded uncle, who is the person in charge of the branch of the Mercenary Union in Gudan Town. Redbeard's apparent strength is at the peak of the soldier level (D+), which is equivalent to a high-level high-level demon, but his actual strength has reached the division level, which is equivalent to the first level of the Great Demon King (B-). These cannot be hidden from Chen Rui's eyes.
Naturally, the red beard couldn't see through Chen Rui's strength, and only regarded him as a rookie with low strength who was deceived by Lucio. Has it been reduced to fraud in the name of a mercenary squad? Such a squad has no meaning of existence at all."
"No! Lord Luo Tan, I didn't! Really!" Lucio yelled, suddenly thinking that there was a terrible evil star beside him, and broke out in a cold sweat.
From the words of the red beard, Chen Rui heard that the hard-working gunman seems to be a guy with a story. Now that the mercenary team is frozen, the plan to quickly get the mercenary badge has failed, but the hard-working man probably didn't do it on purpose. This is related to his little life.
"Is it true that after completing an Amethyst-level mission, I can get a mercenary badge?" Chen Rui suddenly interjected.
"Little guy, it's not easy to be a mercenary, otherwise, even if you get the mercenary badge, you won't be considered a real mercenary, and you will die faster in future missions," the red-bearded Luo Tan said to Chen Rui. Glancing at it, he shook his head disapprovingly: "Don't believe the so-called shortcuts of this liar, just complete the three white crystal-level tasks honestly, and slowly accumulate experience, so that you may live longer. As for the amethyst-level tasks , It’s not at all what you can touch at this level.”
Chen Rui has long noticed the white crystal-level tasks, which are really not difficult, such as assisting the pharmacist to collect herbs, delivering letters to neighboring towns, assisting the guards in night defense, collecting furs of monsters, etc., but for him who is not familiar with the place where he lives, It's all too time consuming.
"Miss Sandy, I want to ask, what is the fastest task to unfreeze the Blazers? I only ask for the shortest task, and the level is not limited." Chen Rui asked Sandy with a slight smile.
For some reason, Sandy felt a strange charm in that ordinary smile, and replied involuntarily: "On the popular mission, there is a mission to obtain the lion and scorpion egg released by Pastor Mana, the level is black crystal level seven, The reward is three hundred black crystal coins."
"Oh." Chen Rui nodded and said to Lucio, "Let's go."
Lucio didn't dare to talk too much, and followed. The red beard saw that the relationship between the two was a bit weird before, and frowned slightly.
Walking out of the mercenary union, Lucio quickly explained: "Master Richard, I'm sorry, I really didn't know that the Spears squad had been frozen..."
"Where is the lion and scorpion in the blue wild forest?"
"The poisonous cave deep in the blue wild forest..." Lucio replied, and immediately reacted, "My lord! Could it be that you..."
"Stop talking nonsense, lead the way now, and go to the fierce poisonous cave immediately!"
"Ah? Me?" Lucio shuddered and stopped: "There are two lions and scorpions in the poisonous cave, and one of them is said to be close to the holy level. They are the overlords of the blue wild forest. No one has ever dared to Go to provoke. A year ago, my team was collecting poisonous fruits nearby and accidentally alarmed a lion and scorpion. As a result, everyone except me..."
"You have two choices now. First, die immediately. Second, go to the Vicious Poison Cave. Perhaps, you can not only survive, but also avenge your lost companions."
Looking at Chen Rui's calm eyes, Lucio finally gritted his teeth: "I'll go!"
