After dealing with Nova's matter, Chen Xing planned to go to Crow Market to accompany Ye Yang Bailiu for a while. That was his real backyard, and it had to be managed carefully and never catch fire. Even if a small spark appears, fire trucks must be dispatched to extinguish it.
The resentful look in his eyes when parting was still fresh in his mind. Even thinking about it now, he felt a little guilty and had a chill down his spine.
Yeyang Bailiu has a cold temperament, but her heart is as hot as fire. Others see her as a moving iceberg, but what he sees is a moving volcano, which will suck him into the belly of the mountain and melt into molten iron at any time. A woman like her either doesn't love her or loves her to the end, like the strongest wine in the world, cold in the mouth and fierce in stamina.
Chen Xing secretly made up his mind that this time he would show off the spirit of fighting hard in the college entrance examination, fight for three hundred rounds, and completely satisfy the opponent. Even if you can't do it, you must at least ensure that the other person won't show that look again within two or three months.
That look was so thrilling.
How about getting some auxiliary props?
Chen Xing was thinking excitedly, activating the black watch and preparing to visit the online mall, but there was a "beep" sound and he received an email from Da Mao.
[Boss, we have settled down and are ready to take on a few tasks to practice our skills. I’ll send you the list of tasks I’ve picked out, and you can give us some suggestions]
Some time ago, Big Mao proposed that the master group would be idle and sitting on nothing, so it would be better to seek development in Sanchahe City, at least to be self-sufficient. He agreed and allowed the other party to take Cassie and Laoji away. Nearly two months have passed in the blink of an eye, and it should be almost stable and able to take on business.
Sanchahe City is a special city. Every country has a similar place. It is in a central position, but it is not under official control. It is a mixture of dragons and snakes, sand and mud, and the status of law is far lower than the unspoken rules of business. It is A paradise for merchants and mercenaries.
This kind of city is called a "free trade city". In ancient times, due to factors such as the feudal system and inconvenient transportation and communication, merchants could always find a balance point between the forces of all parties and control a place as a business gathering place.
Merchants and mercenaries are like twins. Businessmen had no fighting ability, but occupied a lot of wealth, so mercenaries came into being who fought for money.
Until modern times, with the development of science and technology and the improvement of social systems, businessmen no longer had any loopholes to exploit, mercenaries also withdrew from the stage of history, and the lawless land where commerce was the mainstay gradually disappeared.
But after the catastrophe, despite the extremely advanced network technology, dangerous areas are all over the world, and unknown alien planes
There are countless fragments of space, and exploration and development have brought new business opportunities.
Coupled with the ban on weapons of mass destruction by humans, the number of troops has become one of the key points for victory, and the mercenary industry is booming.
With a large number of merchants and mercenaries, the free trade city has returned to the world stage.
Sanchahe City can be regarded as a miniature red earth world. Tens of thousands of forces are crowded into the land of less than five square kilometers. The backstage of a bar owner is likely to be the king of a certain principality, and a porter may be from the East and West Continent. A secret whistle of a certain country.
All countries and forces will place and bribe personnel to gather intelligence, operate in secret, steal business secrets, etc.
The bars in Sanchahe City are the busiest in the entire Ambergris River. They are open all night long and people are drinking, bragging and chatting all the time. However, there are as many true and false news here, and they must be used after strict verification.
Below is the task list sent by Big Cat.
[Alien exploration: Rascade 006, world fragment number 10059732, low risk; Recruitment words: The veteran plane development and exploration company Rascade’s sixth exclusive world fragment recruitment expedition team, the number of people is 200+, welcome Various small and medium-sized mercenary groups participate in development and exploration, employment fee: number of people * 85 gold/month (depending on specific equipment), deposit: 1 silver]
[Escort mission: Protect the plane security assessor from entering the new world to inspect the debris and evacuate safely; Initiator: Sanchahe City "Lantiao" International Affairs Commission, mission bounty: 8,000 gold, deposit: 2,000 gold]
[Punitive mission: Client: Xichuan Kingdom of the Eastern Continent; Target of the expedition: Xiongting clan of Wanlin Mountain; Guarantor: "Red Contract" International Affairs Agency; Employment fee: Negotiable, Deposit: 1 silver,]
…
It is not difficult to see that these projects are commissions screened by Big Cat and have a low risk factor. But no matter how low the risk factor is, it is still a job of licking blood with your head on your waist and the edge of a knife. Even if it seems safe, the group may be wiped out if you are not careful.
Chen Xing thought again and again and decided to go to Sanchahe City first. In his previous life, he had been in the Thunder Light Regiment for more than ten years, and he was relatively familiar with the various hidden pits and unspoken rules of the mercenary industry. Big Cat didn't come back from time travel, but he didn't have as much experience as him.
Also, Big Cat's ability is not particularly strong, otherwise he would not have been the deputy captain of a low-level mercenary team in his previous life. Although Chen Xing is not very good, he has more than ten years of experience. As for Ye Yang Bailiu, she can only let her
Wait a few more days.
At Chen Xing's request, the aerostat adjusted its course and flew there in half a day. Sanchahe City is the closest city to Ice Blue City, located to the east of Longxin Lake. Due to its money-oriented nature, it is known as the "cancer on Dragon's Heart".
Looking down from the air, a broad river spans the sky and the earth. The river is rushing, the waves are roaring, and the roar of the river can be heard even from high altitude.
The outline of the city gradually appeared in the distance. The river split into two as it passed through, forming a "Y" shape. One stream ran from west to east, heading towards the seaport, and the other ran from north to south, flowing towards the wilderness.
The aerostat gradually descended and approached, and the city's appearance became clearer and clearer.
On the periphery are large military camps, with tents of different colors distinguishing different forces, and then large shantytowns, with the neon lights of bars looming.
The center of the city is a towering super skyscraper in the shape of an octagonal cylinder, like a giant stick inserted by the gods into the ground. The building is divided into three sections, with the cylinder getting smaller as it goes up. The top of the building is the abbreviation "F&T", which comes from the Western Continental "Free & Trade".
The Free Trade Building, the symbol of Sanchahe City, is both a trading place and a place for enjoyment.
When flying towards the edge of the city, a bright green beam of light was emitted from the roof of the trade building, guiding the aerospace craft to land.
After a while, Chen Xing and his group came down from the apron on the roof of the building, and a man in black dress trotted over.
"This is Mr. Chen Erliu, I am the business manager responsible for receiving you..."
Those who can afford to buy an exclusive aeroboat are rich people, so the hotel will naturally send someone to receive them.
"My master has no need to stay in the hotel for the time being. The docking fee of the aerostat will be settled separately." At Chen Xing's signal, Jian Yue Canglian refused.
"Do you want to live outside?" The business manager looked a little surprised. "It's not very peaceful outside recently. It's best not to leave the building. I assure you, this is definitely the safest place in Sanchahe City..." The business manager's His expression became a little exaggerated, "Yesterday, someone died on the street. He was shot in the head, and his brains were scattered everywhere..."
"Really?" Chen Xing asked.
"Really, I swear!" the business manager said firmly, the expression on his face becoming more and more exaggerated.
This is obviously a "trust", exaggerating the security situation in Sanchahe City to scare new guests into staying in the hotel.
