After confirming that Ling Feng did not have a mercenary card, the store owner could only say that he definitely couldn't afford so much cash. Www!QuanBen-XiaoShuo!Com Only by debit can we pay for such a large transaction.
Under Ling Feng's questioning, the store owner explained to Ling Feng what a mercenary card was with an incredulous look in his eyes. To put it bluntly, it is similar to a bank card on earth. It's just that the Taikoo Continent does not have such advanced electronic instruments and equipment, it only uses magic, and the security measures are much stronger than bank cards, and it is easier to use. Because the material of the mercenary card itself has magical properties, even a swordsman can operate it. Accounts can be transferred directly between individuals.
At first, it was because people in the mercenary profession carried too much cash, which was too heavy and unsafe. Moreover, most of their tasks were linked to money, and they moved between countries on the continent all year round. . For example, if you accept an escort mission in the novice town, you can only get paid by the local mercenary union after arriving at the destination. The mercenary unions on the continent issued mercenary cards to mercenaries for the convenience of payment. As a result, because of their simplicity and effectiveness, they became popular on the continent and were accepted by most people. Even now, this simple transfer method is used for large-amount transactions.
Moreover, mercenary cards can be used to withdraw cash from any mercenary union, because mercenary unions exist in all cities across the continent, which is one of the reasons why mercenary cards are so popular.
After all, who is willing to take sacks of gold coins to the streets when shopping
As for most poor people, they are still accustomed to using cash for transactions. At least, the cost of making a mercenary card is several gold coins, which is not what they can afford.
After Ling Feng knew this, he was very embarrassed about his situation. Of course, the owner of the store was already sophisticated and would naturally not provoke Ling Feng at this time. Instead, he told him about the mercenary union next to the 'Miaoyuan' pawn shop. You can apply for a mercenary card. So, under the leadership of the store owner, Ling Feng walked into the mercenary union for the first time.
Although at this time, the sky had darkened and the pedestrians on the street had become sparse, the entrance of the Mercenary Union was obviously not affected by the darkness. No matter where in the city, no matter what time of day, the mercenary union is always bustling with activity. To put it simply, this place is open 24/7.
The main entrance of the union is made of huge stones and looks somber and solemn. There are many huge magic crystals inlaid on both sides, emitting dazzling light. Lingfeng knew that magic crystal was a stone that could store magic power and emit dazzling light at night. People on the mainland often used it for lighting. However, although magic crystals are not precious, they are not affordable for ordinary families, and large magic crystals are generally only used by nobles.
Now the mercenary union puts them at the door for lighting, which shows how wealthy the mercenary union is.
Ling Feng followed the store owner into the spacious hall. The hall was very lively. The space inside was very large. On one side was something like a bar. The lights were bright and feasting. There were many mercenaries sitting in groups, including magicians and swordsmen. For a moment, Ling Feng felt like he was in a bar. It's like being in some wild, offbeat bar on Earth.
This area is obviously a place for mercenaries to rest and adjust their mood.
In the middle, facing the gate, magic mirrors are used to announce some new tasks, as well as some of the latest news from the Ancient Continent. Ling Feng took a casual look and saw that there was news about the Orc Empire far north of the Primeval Continent. It really made people sigh that the spread of news in this world was no worse than the modern communication on earth. The channel of communication is undoubtedly led by the mercenary union and guided by all mercenaries. Each mercenary union exchanges information with the mercenary union in the host country or megacity every day, thereby colliding and blending with information from various places on the continent. Therefore, as long as the news is shocking enough, even if you are in the easternmost part of the continent today, people in the West will know about your deeds tomorrow.
Of course, if the news is not shocking enough, it will not spread so quickly.
The other side of the mercenary union looked a little deserted. Lingfeng saw that there were several windows here, which read "Level Evaluation Office", "Adventurer Registration Office", "Mercenary Group Registration Office", "Mission Cancellation Office", "Mission Acceptance Office" and other similar words. words. Presumably the mercenary card was also applied for in this direction.
Sure enough, the store owner walked to a window first and shouted to an old man inside: "Old man, I have brought you business. Help this gentleman apply for a mercenary card."
"Oh, you old guy, you actually brought someone to apply for a mercenary card in person?" Inside the window was an old man about the same age as the store owner. The two of them were obviously familiar with each other.
"Isn't this strange? This person is a big customer." The store owner said with some exaggeration.
The old man glanced at Ling Feng, obviously not believing it. But after the store owner whispered something into his ear, his eyes began to shine with curiosity as he stared at Ling Feng.
Ling Feng could completely hear what the store owner said, and he once again sighed in his heart at the charm of the magic core, so with the old man's very polite attitude, he got his own mercenary card. It's very light and simple, with the icon of the mercenary union on it. The store owner asked Ling Feng to put a small drop of blood on the mercenary card, so this card became a mercenary card that could only be used by Ling Feng alone.
Ling Feng input a trace of Qi to investigate and found that the card was full of restrictions, which could only be broken but not unlocked. If it is not forcibly broken by the user himself, this card will be useless. At that time, you can rely on your own identity to go to the mercenary union to get a replacement card. This should be the security measure for mercenary cards.
Next, the store owner carefully transferred 1,150 crystal coins from his own card to Ling Feng's card, then said a few words and left. He needs to report this good deal to his employer.
Lingfeng withdrew a crystal coin from the old man in cash, exchanged it for some gold coins, silver coins and copper coins, and gave the old man five gold coins, which was used as money to apply for a mercenary card.
Later, the old man was surprised to hear that Ling Feng was not a mercenary yet, and enthusiastically invited him to register as a mercenary. Because any mercenary can get some latest news for free from any mercenary union. Of course, in addition to widely disseminated public information, a lot of news is released according to level. For example, if you are a B-level mercenary, you You can obtain any information below level B for free. If you want to get A-level information, you can only spend money to buy it.
The level of a mercenary is different from the strength level of a warrior, and is completely determined by the points earned by the mercenary from completing tasks. From high to low, there are eight levels: S-level, A-level, B-level, c-level, d-level, e-level, F-level and g-level. The points are determined based on the difficulty of the tasks you undertake. The more tasks you complete, the more points you accumulate. On the contrary, if the task fails, the corresponding points need to be deducted. When your points accumulate enough to level up, you can advance.
The only difference between a mercenary group and mercenaries is that there are more people and they are a group. In the eyes of some senior mercenaries, a single or several mercenaries are called adventurers. Only teams with dozens, hundreds, or thousands of advanced levels are qualified mercenary groups.
Mercenary tasks are also arranged according to eight levels. Only mercenaries of the corresponding level can accept the corresponding level. For example, B-level tasks can only be accepted by mercenaries of B level or above.
Of course, if the owner is willing, low-level mercenaries can also be accepted.
Lingfeng thought about it and felt that registering a mercenary account would at least bring a lot of convenience to his actions, so he happily went to the 'Adventurer Registration Office', but the aunt at the registration office asked him for his professional level. When proving it, Ling Feng felt embarrassed again. Fortunately, he remembered that there was a window for the 'Level Evaluation Department' here. Ling Feng spent five silver coins for the evaluation fee and got a grade certificate that said 'First-Level Swordsman Apprentice'.
The aunt at the registration office looked at Ling Feng with strange eyes, full of affection, and thought to herself: For such a big man, he is still only a first-level swordsman without even a sword. Life is really difficult.
It's no wonder that the aunt at the registration office thought wrongly. Although this is a town-level mercenary union in Shami Town, it can at least evaluate swordsmen of all levels below the sixth level. People on the mainland respect the strong and often try their best during the evaluation. Therefore, this aunt would never have thought that Ling Feng just casually dealt with the junior swordsman who rated him, and then came back in a hurry, without even noticing what his parents looked like.
Then, because Ling Feng had the lowest level of strength among swordsmen, he only paid some fees, got a red mercenary certificate, and officially registered as a G-level adventurer. \(QuanBen Novel Network www.QuanBen-XiaoShuo.com)
