"Catch him? Boss, do you have some misunderstanding about our strength? Although our gang is strong enough to dominate Changfeng Road, this kind of character..."
"Are you fucking stupid? When I said I caught him, I meant I caught him as a person. What an idiot...
Oh, by the way, prepare a red envelope of 2888 tomorrow morning, and bring some gifts with you."
"Sending so much money? The whole Tianrui Lifeng is in a mess right now. I think you should save some money, so that you will have confidence in case something goes wrong."
"Saving money? How can we develop the gang by saving money? Get lost."
"Oh... By the way, what gift?"
"I gave him cigarettes and alcohol... Wait, I remember he drank juice in the bar, and he had a cat, so I gave him cat food and tea."
"Cat food and tea? Is there anyone who wants this kind of thing?"
"Stop being so superficial."
"knew."
Xu Le actually heard the conversation between the Red Flower Society members. He and Ding Ke looked at each other.
"These people are taking the wide road meow!"
Compared to Ding Ke's satisfaction, Xu Le was far behind.
"She's right about cat food, but what is tea? I don't drink tea."
"I'm almost 30, it's time to drink tea, meow!"
…
The next morning, when the people from the Red Flower Society delivered gifts, Xu Le had already left the tavern.
He didn't really leave, his luggage is still here.
He was planning to go to the mercenary guild to have a look, and he only brought a few hundred dollars with him.
This amount of money is really not enough for anything, so he plans to rely on his own abilities to develop a little in Tianrui Lifeng, practice steadily for a period of time, and get familiar with the environment.
"It's so lively..."
Walking on the street, if Xu Le were asked to say the biggest difference between Tianrui Lifeng and the other two cities, it would probably be the large population.
But even now, he still couldn't understand.
Why are there so many people in Tianrui Lifeng
The larger the population, the greater the heart energy, and the more weirdness there is.
With a quick glance at Gu Yin's multi-perspective view, he could confirm that everyone here was normal, and they all felt sad and afraid.
Aren’t you afraid of the large population
The lighthouse is divided into upper and lower urban areas, why is Tianrui Lifeng so arrogant
Walked to the Mercenary Square indicated by the road sign.
As soon as Xu Le arrived here, he saw a huge statue. The statue was a bald man with only one arm.
There is an inscription under the statue.
The corrupt royal power forced you to kneel with hereditary authority and false reputation, but Tianrui Lifeng made you stand up and gave you a new life in glory.
The battlefield is the warrior's destiny. If you don't have the ability to fight, you must also be prepared to die.
You have to think highly of yourself first, otherwise others will think you are worthless.
Violence is a means of ending things.
The warriors of Tianrui Lifeng will be recorded here, and their heroes will be immortal.
All leaders of Tianrui Lifeng must be at the forefront of the battle, and dying on the battlefield is their final destination.
There were many similar words, and names were engraved all over the floor, stone tablets, and walls of the square.
Level 1 Warrior-Lufeng
Tier 2 Fire Disaster Warlock - Gu Qi
They only have ranks and names, without any further explanation.
But perhaps, just like what is written on the stone tablet, everyone who can be recorded here is worth remembering.
"The leader is fighting on the front line, this..."
Xu Le frowned slightly. If it were in the past, if a leader could lead the charge, he would naturally applaud.
But at this point, he already has the aura of a leader.
The way of looking at problems is also different from before.
"If a leader is always at the forefront, what happens when he dies? If there is a legitimate successor, that's fine, but what if there isn't? Isn't that infighting
And if a leader dies in battle, wouldn’t the command on the front line be in chaos
What changes will occur in the morale of the soldiers?"
Xu Le rubbed his chin, and he reserved his attitude towards this point.
Suddenly, several mercenaries knelt down beside Xu Le.
Of course, they were not kneeling to him, but to the statue and the monument.
"We are about to go on a mission. I hope all the sages and heroes can keep us safe."
After saying that, these mercenaries fell to the ground, truly prostrating themselves.
The sound of kowtow is very loud, and it is definitely not just for show.
After three bows and nine kowtows, their actions were considered complete.
This scene surprised Xu Le:
"Instead of respecting the gods, are you honoring your ancestors?"
This behavior is very similar to that of the Chinese people in their previous life. They do not believe in gods, but their ancestors.
Xu Le felt a sense of familiarity with this behavior.
However, there are still big differences between the two. There was no clear existence of gods in the previous life, and many people were atheists.
But in this world, the existence of gods has been clearly recorded.
They have different abilities, characteristics, and even some duties.
Perhaps there are still living beings in the Red Moon Temple.
Therefore, believing in gods is the mainstream here.
Meow! ~
Ding Ke's sudden shout interrupted Xu Le. He looked in the direction Ding Ke was looking and saw a rolling screen on the side of the square.
This thing is more or less high-tech.
It is somewhat out of tune with the other architectural styles of Tianrui Lifeng...
"This style looks like Zion's work. Let's go and take a look."
There were quite a few people below the screen, all looking up at what was on the screen.
The scrolling banners and subtitles are quite dense and contain a lot of content, perhaps because there is only one screen in the entire square.
A large number of mercenary missions are squeezed on it, densely packed.
Exploring the Outer Zones - Mission 955, Personnel 13/30
Exploration of the Outer Zones - Mission 1033, Personnel 275/30
Expanding external areas...
There are a lot of pioneering missions on the scrolling screen. Xu Le doesn’t know enough about the content of the missions here, so he doesn’t know whether this kind of pioneering mission is the same as the pioneering mission of the lighthouse.
The words are too crowded, so I won’t go into detail.
If you want to know more details, you have to go to the corresponding task number desk.
However, since the name of the mission is to develop the area, Xu Le thinks it should be similar to the lighthouse development mission.
Shouldn't things like developing areas be very dangerous
Even if a level 3-4 warlock goes out, he may encounter unpredictable situations.
Why is it so bustling here in Tianrui Lifeng? Aren’t people here afraid of death
In addition to tasks of opening up new areas, there are also some tasks of collecting, hunting, and other tasks with clear targets.
Some of them are areas where development failed, and experts are being recruited to hunt again. If you read the detailed mission descriptions, it's basically one concept: stubborn!
Xu Le has some ideas for trial implementation, and he is very interested in this kind of pioneering mission.
He is very interested in exploring the outside world, understanding the dark environment, and new and strange things.
I even feel that this should be an integral part of cultivation.
There was such a time at the lighthouse, but it was too short.
But now he has such an opportunity.
Moreover, things are different now. He now has more or less the ability to survive in a dark environment.
It's time to learn about the real world.
Xu Le looked at it for a while and decided to choose the pioneering mission No. 1033. The recruitment of mission personnel was almost complete, 27/30, including himself, so he should be able to go on the mission soon.
Arriving at the service desk for the pioneering mission, Xu Le said in a low voice:
"I want to accept the pioneering mission No. 1033."
"Okay dear, I will provide you with the mission report No. 1033. Please fill in your strength level and expertise here."
“Can I not fill it out?”
"Then is your strength level higher than that of a Level 2 warrior?"
"Exceed."
"Can you tell me your specific occupation?"
"Red Moon Warlock."
"Okay, that's enough."
Xu Le:
Is that all? No ID card or anything like that is needed? Oral registration? Isn't that a little bit unsafe
"Is this all you need for this procedure?"
"Of course, sir, you should have just arrived at Tianrui Lifeng. We in Tianrui Lifeng have the most extensive and advanced mercenary system among the four cities in the entire Dark Ages.
Don't worry, compared to the narrow Red Moon Temple people and those literary Zion people, this is the place for warriors."
Xu Le's mouth twitched. The problem was that there was no task content!
"Is there any introduction to this mission? What about the reward?"
“The 1033 exploration area is an unknown area. When exploring an unknown area, of course, we know nothing.
As for revenge, since you did not provide a specific combat power level, we can only pay you the standard salary of a level 2 warrior, which is 1,150 yuan.
But don't worry, if you perform well in this mission, we will give you extra compensation."
To be honest, Xu Le was quite satisfied with the staff member in front of him because of her sweet appearance and friendly attitude.
But the mission she mentioned was simply ridiculous. It was too... casual
"What if an unknown danger arises during the mission..."
"Death is the best destination for every warrior. Are you afraid?"
Xu Le: …TF.
The look in Xu Le's eyes when he looked at her could no longer be hidden!
"What about the time of the mission? When tomorrow?"
"Tomorrow? Sir, do you have some misunderstanding about the speed of our Tianrui Lifeng mission? Tianrui Lifeng's missions never take that long.
When the place is full, leave 28=2. ”
The corners of Xu Le's mouth twitched even more violently. Is this mission of Tianrui Lifeng really reliable
"Should I wait here?"
"If you don't have anything important to do, just wait here for a while. We'll be able to get together soon."
"Oh well."
Xu Le really wanted to maintain Red Beard's dignity, but the current situation made it impossible for him to act domineering.
Although he is very strong, he is a master who surpasses the average level 4 warlock.
But facing such a task, he is just a newbie.
So I still have some ups and downs and worries in my heart.
As soon as I left the service desk, the sweet mercenary mission staff started shouting.
"Don't you have balls, you bastards? It's 28=2, hurry up, stop standing in the square bragging all day long. Can bragging bring you the glory of your ancestors? Get over here now."
The gentle and sweet appearance spoke such fierce words, and the crowd was moved for a moment.
However, this urging is still effective.
After she shouted like that, five individual mercenaries really came.
The receptionist selected the two strongest ones to join the team, and this temporary mercenary team of 30 people was formed.
"Okay, get ready to go!"
"Are we setting off now?" Xu Le stared at the team, speechless.
This team of 30 people includes a team of 2, a team of 3, and a mercenary team of 9.
There are also about 10 individual players like Xu Le.
Such a combination would certainly make no one submit to the other, but Tianrui Lifeng is also well aware that this is not a good idea, so each team of 30 people will be equipped with a guide.
A guide, not a leader.
The guide is only responsible for the team's coordination, mission direction guidance, and has daily living management skills and a small amount of combat power.
The guide of Xu Le and his team turned out to be the sweet-looking mission receptionist.
"No wonder she's so serious about this mission. Part-time job? Or is this what Tianrui Lifeng's mission guide is like?"
It was almost noon at this time. Tianrui Lifeng City was huge, and after gathering and leaving the city, it would most likely be afternoon.
It will most likely be night when we arrive at the mission destination.
What a big heart.
"Alright, alright, everyone. We will be companions for some time to come. Let me introduce myself first. My name is Bai Jing, and I'm your guide."
Hearing the other party's self-introduction, Xu Le was obviously stunned.
"What did she say her name was?"
Ding Ke in his arms curled his lips:
"She said her name was Bai Jingmiao. They're not the same person. Why are you so excited?"
"No, I just feel a little emotional. The last person who took me on a mission was named Bai Jing. This time, the person who took me on a mission is also named Bai Jing. What a coincidence."
Meow! ~
The Bai Jing in front of him is much younger than the former captain.
After walking out of the Mercenary Square, she changed into camouflage clothes and wore a beret on her head.
Judging from his conversation, he should be an experienced person.
"Everyone, please get in the car first. There are newcomers and veterans here. We will discuss the specific mission requirements in the car."
Xu Le looked at the car that Bai Jing was pointing at, and it turned out to be an old steam bus.
The coal-fired kind.
This type of car has been eliminated by Zion.
The vehicle has been modified a bit, with spikes all over it and an elevated gun.
Considering the conditions of Tianrui Lifeng, this car is pretty good...
"It's not bad to have a car."
…
After getting in the car, a mercenary that Bai Jing was familiar with sat directly in the driver's seat.
Bai Jing herself stood in front of everyone:
"Okay, since there are quite a few newcomers on this mission, I have to briefly explain the basic requirements for going on missions.
First of all, it is mental energy. When we are out, we need to control our desires.
Especially those who are staring at me with lustful eyes, be careful that a succubus may appear next to you.
That kind of weirdness, but it will speak to you from the heart... "
Obviously, the word "heart-opening" here means to open one's heart.
