"Hehehe..." Several mercenaries heard Bai Jing say this and started laughing strangely.
Even after being warned by Bai Jing, these people still showed no intention of restraining themselves.
He looked at Bai Jing with aggressive eyes unscrupulously.
However, Bai Jing didn't care much about the looks of these people, or perhaps she had seen the same looks too many times.
Every time you go out, there will be new mercenaries, and every time you go out, there will be new mercenaries who become veterans.
When these newcomers become veterans, they lose their previous reserve and begin to become unscrupulous.
All human beings are like this, there is nothing strange about it.
“Well, the content of Tianrui Lifeng’s development mission is very simple, which is to explore and develop, so that the dark outer domain can become a place for human habitation.
This is also different from other cities. You must remember that you may not be able to trust each other because many people are meeting and interacting with each other for the first time.
But I hope you can at least avoid harming your teammates when you are in the wild.
Everyone has difficulties, and you never know when you might fall down. When that time comes, you will definitely hope someone can give you a hand.
Well, if you have any questions, just ask them, and don’t hide them.”
Bai Jing didn't introduce much. After saying a few simple words, she stopped and started walking around the bus.
Xu Le was here with his cat, looking out the window, he kept his red-bearded outfit and had a dark aura.
This meant that no one sat down next to Xu Le.
The car drove steadily for more than an hour at a slow speed. According to Bai Jing, they still had nearly 4 hours' drive to their mission destination.
Xu Le couldn't help but sigh when he heard this:
"The development area of Tianrui Lifeng is really ridiculously large."
"Hey, come sit inside."
While Xu Le was thinking about the problem, Bai Jing actually walked to his side and motioned Xu Le to come inside and sit next to him.
Xu Le frowned slightly, although this woman with the same name as the captain gave him some favor.
But to be honest, his current state is still that no strangers are allowed to enter.
So he said sinisterly:
"Is there no place else to sit? Why do you think we can sit here?"
Seeing Xu Le lower his voice, Bai Jing suddenly smiled, and then heard Yang lower his voice and whisper in his ear:
"Stop pretending, you're a newbie, right?"
Xu Le:
Although he had little experience in field missions, he had definitely been out before.
Therefore, Xu Le does not admit the title of newbie.
"Do you want to die?"
"Don't show off, I've been doing this for more than 6 years, I can tell who is a newbie at a glance.
Look at how excited and happy you were when you received the task, you can obviously be a newcomer.
Stop pretending, your skin is too delicate and your beard is too fake. If it were an ordinary person, they might be scared by you, but if it were a master, they would be able to see through you at a glance."
What Bai Jing said was a bit pretentious.
Xu Le glanced at her:
"Master? You?"
"You don't think you can be a mission guide for Tianrui Lifeng without some skills, do you? If you encounter some fierce bandits, you must have some ability to protect yourself."
As Bai Jing spoke, she placed her things on the floor.
It seems that he really doesn't consider himself an outsider.
If you think about it carefully, it makes sense. Here, Xu Le is considered an outsider, while Bai Jing should be considered a local.
Xu Le had no intention of continuing the conversation and remained aloof.
He didn't say anything, but Bai Jing had no intention of stopping.
"Hey, are you from out of town? Lighthouse or Zion?"
Xu Le frowned slightly:
"Why can't it be the Red Moon Temple?"
“The people of the Red Moon Temple are not like you. If they want to investigate something, they will definitely do all kinds of investigations and preparations to make themselves look like veterans.
However, there is one bad habit that those people in the Red Moon Temple cannot change, and that is their arrogance.
Their arrogance seeps from their nostrils."
Xu Le agreed very much with Bai Jing's evaluation of the Red Moon Temple.
The people of the Red Moon Temple do have a kind of arrogance, as if they were born superior to others.
He also understood this sense of superiority. After all, the Red Moon Temple was the pinnacle of military power in this world.
"That makes sense. People from the Red Moon Temple are like this."
"Is this your first mission outside?" Bai Jing seemed very talkative and always wanted to talk to Xu Le.
Xu Le didn’t know if there was something wrong with his disguise. Would this image of a big beard and wearing single-sided glasses be attractive to women
It must be because he is too handsome that even this level of disguise can't stop him!
"This isn't my first mission. I've done it before."
Bai Jing curled her lips:
"Not at all. You are a delicate person with no trace of the hardships of a mission, nor do you look greasy.
A normal mercenary wouldn't be like you."
"What should a normal mercenary be like?" Xu Le was a little curious.
"Look, those people are like that, bragging every day about how many women they've slept with, how much alcohol they can drink in one meal, and how many great things they've done.
It sounds like the truth. In fact, those who understand will understand that, apart from the sentence "I want to S", few things a man says are true. "
Xu Le's mouth twitched...
"You seem very experienced?"
“The main purpose is to remind you that Tianrui Lifeng is very chaotic and dark. There are many good people, but there are even more bad people.
A newbie like you must be careful."
"Okay, thank you very much." Xu Le nodded.
Even if he wanted to disguise and hide it, he had no reason to respond badly to such a friendly reminder.
But after he thanked her, he turned his head away again.
This certainly would not satisfy Bai Jing. She was very interested in Xu Le and she felt that Xu Le should be a man with a story.
"Hey, how old are you?"
"35."
"Let's be real. I'm not blind."
"I'm really 35, I just look younger." Being stared at, Xu Le felt inexplicably guilty.
"Do you have 20?" Bai Jing suddenly asked.
"Bullshit, I'm only 22 or 23 this year."
"Oh, so you're 22."
Xu Le was not provoked, but he felt that he could not hide himself in front of Bai Jing, so there was no need to hide.
Xu Le was always being forced to ask questions, and he was in a bad mood. He asked casually:
"What about you? You look quite young, too."
"I'm 22 tomorrow, and after 12 o'clock, it's my birthday!" Bai Jing seemed to be in a good mood.
But her age shocked Xu Le.
"You said you've been doing this for over 6 years? But you're only 22 tomorrow? You started as a mercenary guide when you were 15?"
"Why? Is it not possible? Tianrui Lifeng has only gotten better in the past few years. It was so chaotic a few years ago that we would have no food to eat if we didn't work hard.
With so many brothers and sisters, someone has to come forward to make it happen."
Bai Jing's face was filled with a confident smile.
Xu Le understood this kind of smile, self-realization, responsibility, and commitment.
Many people say that taking on responsibilities is painful, but in fact, if you are needed by others, it is a very happy thing.
“Isn’t it too dangerous for a 15-year-old to be a guide in the wild?”
"Many times people have no choice. Unlike you, you look like a pampered person. Didn't you suffer when you were a child?"
"Bragging about one's past, isn't that the same as those mercenaries you mentioned?"
"Uh..." Bai Jing was speechless after hearing Xu Le's words.
"Let's talk about the mission. Since you have six years of work experience, you should know a lot of things. Do you have any experience you can share?"
Seeing that Xu Le asked seriously, Bai Jing also restrained her previous joking expression.
“The mercenary mission is actually very simple, and the pioneering mission is even simpler. It is actually just about dealing with possible hidden dangers and threats.
To put it more clearly, all the weirdness in the development area needs to be dealt with, and that's all."
"Don't we need to consider combat coordination or something? What should we do if we encounter a stronger monster?"
Previous mission experience made Xu Le understand how important reasonable personnel allocation and command are when a team is exploring in the wild.
If you encounter a powerful enemy, a reasonable combination can produce an effect of 1+1 greater than 2.
But if we fight alone, it will be easy to be wiped out.
“You are talking about a team with tacit understanding. Currently, Tianrui Lifeng is mostly made up of savages, so it is impossible for them to have such coordination.
If you really encounter a strong enemy, you can solve it if you can, but if you can’t, you can only run away.”
A look of nostalgia appeared on Bai Jing's face. Perhaps it was because her former friends and companions had died during the mission.
Xu Le thought so.
"What if there are disagreements within the team?"
"This is a very normal thing. That's why I told you that it's best to have the ability to protect yourself when you go out."
Xu Le frowned again, meaning that there was a possibility of encountering someone who would take action
It's really confusing.
"I see. Thank you for clarifying my confusion."
"You're welcome. Let's observe each other during this mission. If you think I'm good, you can follow me on the next pioneering mission."
As Bai Jing spoke, she actually handed over a business card.
Xu Le took the business card, which had a brief introduction of Bai Jing and the work number of the Tianrui Lifeng Mercenary Guild on it.
However, this approach is somewhat similar to that of some salesmen.
"Do you get commissions for being guides?"
"Of course, if there is no commission, who would do this kind of work that is risky? And this kind of thing is not something that ordinary people can do.
My mission success rate is 63%, which makes me one of the best guides in the Harvest District."
Mission success rate 63%
In other words, there is a nearly 40% mission failure rate...
According to the danger level in the wild, if the mission fails, there is a high probability that half of the people will die...
This is Nima...
"Ha, ha, ha, your success rate is really high."
“That’s a must.”
After chatting for a while, Bai Jing was still in high spirits, and Xu Le's responses were also intermittent.
He knew that Bai Jing was trying to get information from him and wanted to find out about his situation and background, so whatever Xu Le answered was irrelevant.
Bai Jing, who had gained nothing, gradually lost her patience.
"Tsk, you didn't say anything and I told you everything. That's not fair."
"I didn't ask you to say it."
Seeing that Xu Le refused to change his attitude, Bai Jing also frowned. The man in front of her did not seem as easy to deal with as she had imagined.
"Tsk, forget it."
Returning to calm, the car drove slowly into the wild. After more than 3 hours, they arrived at a wilderness area.
The time came to around 4 o'clock in the afternoon.
There is still some time before the sun sets, but as Xu Le had thought before, after arriving at the mission site, he would probably have to prepare for camping at night.
"The time chosen for the mission is really weird."
"The mission will last a long time, not just one night. What's the difference between morning and night?"
As the two were talking, the car suddenly jolted, waking up Ding Ke who was sleeping in Xu Le's arms.
Boom! ~
Meow!
Xu Le stuffed Ding Ke directly into his arms, stood up and looked outside.
The car has stopped.
The mercenary who was the driver turned his head and looked at Bai Jing:
"Xiaobai, there seems to be something down there."
Hearing the driver's reminder, Bai Jing frowned and immediately jumped out of the window without glass.
He also held a long knife in his hand.
clang!
As soon as he landed, Bai Jing swung out a flash of knife and slashed towards the car.
And Xu Le in the car already knew what the strange thing that was torn off was.
Borer, a deformed species, level 2, with many strange ancient sounds.
It was just ordinary weirdness, as if it regarded the bus as prey.
"Hey, it seems like every time I go out by car, there will be problems. Cars are incompatible with my fate. Should I not take the car in the future?"
Meow! ~
Ding Ke nodded. When outside, he tried not to speak as much as possible to avoid causing trouble.
When Xu Le slowly got down from the car, the other mercenaries had already gotten off the car and were on guard.
Compared with them, Xu Le seems much more amateur.
Bai Jing looked at the man repairing the car for a while, then turned to look at Xu Le:
"You are so slow and you have no fighting skills at all. If you were in a real crisis, you would have died just now."
Looking at Bai Jing's righteous words, Xu Le nodded woodenly.
"It's well-reasoned and convincing."
"That's right. As a mercenary, the most basic quality is to be ready for battle at any time. You must learn this well."
"I see." Xu Le did not refute, the other person was right.
"Xiao Bai, the wheel hub of the car is crooked. It will probably take a while to repair it. What do you say now?"
The mercenary driver looked at Bai Jing, and Bai Jing made a judgment after just a brief thought.
“Let’s fix the car first. This area is close to wasteland. There is no obvious shelter except for early weeds and a lot of rocks.
This environment has both advantages and disadvantages. If we use it as a camp, we need to take turns to guard at night, so let's do it this way for now."
Bai Jing's attitude was quite clear. The old mercenaries had no objections, so Xu Le, as a bystander, naturally could not speak.
The others have already started to rest.
Xu Le walked up to a herb he had never seen before and stretched out his hand.
Unseen by everyone, the soul branch had already wrapped around the plant.
"Is it poisonous? Toxicity is a good direction for development."
Just as she was thinking this, Bai Jing suddenly yelled at Xu Le:
"Dinko, what are you doing? That plant is poisonous!"
Meow
Ding Ke woke up sleepily in Xu Le's arms.
