"Hehehehe..." When several mercenaries heard what Bai Jing said, they all laughed strangely. Even after being warned by Bai Jing, these people still had no intention of restraining themselves.
The aggressive eyes looked at Bai Jing unscrupulously.
But Bai Jing didn't really care about the looks in these people's eyes, or 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, new mercenaries will become veterans.
When these newcomers become veterans, they will lose their previous restraint and become unscrupulous.
Human beings are all like this, there is nothing strange about it.
"Okay, the content of Tianrui Lifeng's development mission is very simple. It is to explore and develop so that the dark outer land can become a place for human habitation. This is also different from other cities. You must remember that you are each other We may not be able to trust each other, because this is the first time for many of us to meet and contact each other. But I hope you can at least avoid harming your teammates in the wild. Everyone has difficulties, and there is no guarantee that one day If you fall down, you will definitely want someone to help you when the time comes. Well, if you have any questions, just ask them, and don’t hide them."
Bai Jing didn't introduce much. After saying a few words, she stopped and started walking around on the bus.
Xu Le took his cat with him and looked out the window. He kept his red beard and had a dark aura.
This left no one sitting next to Xu Le.
The car drove smoothly for about an hour, and the speed was not fast. According to Bai Jing, they still had nearly 4 hours' drive to the mission destination.
Xu Le couldn't help but sigh when he heard this statement:
"This Tianrui Lifeng development area is really ridiculously big." "Hey, sit inside."
While Xu Le was thinking about the problem, Bai Jing actually walked up to him and motioned Xu Le to sit inside, wanting to sit next to him.
Xu Le frowned slightly. Although the woman with the same name as the captain gave him some good impressions, to be honest, his current situation was still to keep strangers away.
So he said sadly:
"Are there no seats elsewhere? How dare you think you can sit here?"
Seeing Xu Le lower his voice, Bai Jing suddenly smiled, and then heard Yang lower his voice and said in his ear:
"Stop pretending, you are a newbie, right?" Xu Le:?
Although he has very little experience in going out on missions, it is definitely not that he has never been out. Therefore, Xu Le does not recognize the title Mengxin. "Do you want to die?"
"Stop trying to show off. I've been in this business for more than six years. I can tell who's new at a glance. Look at the way you looked excited and happy when you received the assignment. You can tell he's a newbie at first glance. Stop pretending, your skin is too delicate and your beard is fake. If you are an ordinary person, you might be intimidated. However, if you are a master, you can see your true nature 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 Tianrui Lifeng's mission guide without some skills, do you? In case you encounter some gangsters, you must have some ability to protect yourself."
While Bai Jing was talking, she put her things on the ground floor. It seemed that she really didn't regard herself as an outsider.
It makes sense if you think about it carefully. Xu Lecai is considered an outsider here, while Bai Jing should be considered a local.
Xu Le had no intention of continuing the conversation and remained cold. He didn't speak, 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 in the Red Moon Temple are not like you. If they want to investigate something, they will definitely make all kinds of investigations and preparations to make themselves look like veterans. However, there is one thing that those people in the Red Moon Temple cannot change. The problem they have is their arrogance. Their arrogance comes from their nostrils."
Xu Le very much agrees 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 are naturally superior to others.
He also understands this sense of superiority. After all, the Red Moon Temple has the most powerful force in this world. "It makes sense. The people of the Red Moon Temple are like this."
"Is this your first time going out on a mission?" 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. Is this kind of image with a big beard and a single-sided glasses also attractive to women?
He must be so handsome that even this level of disguise can't stop him! "It's not my first time on a mission, I've done it before." Bai Jing curled her lips:
"It's not like you at all. You have tender skin and tender flesh. You don't have the weather of the mission at all, and you don't have that oily feeling. A normal mercenary wouldn't be like you."
"What should a normal mercenary look like?" Xu Le was a little curious.
"Now, those people are like that. They brag every day about how many women they have slept with, how much wine they can drink in one meal, and how many great things they have done. What they say is true. In fact, they all understand. Except for me, men want After saying this, few things are true."
Xu Le's mouth twitched... "You seem to be very experienced?"
"The main thing is to remind you that Tianrui Lifeng is very chaotic and dark. There are many good people, but there are more bad ones. A newbie like you must be careful."
"Okay, thank you very much." Xu Le nodded.
For this friendly reminder, even if he wanted to pretend to hide it, there was no reason to speak harshly. But after he thanked him, he turned his head away.
This will definitely not satisfy Bai Jing. She is full of interest in Xu Le. She feels that Xu Le should be a person with a story.
"Hey, how old are you this year?" "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.
"Are you 20?" Bai Jing suddenly asked. "You fart, I am 22 and 23 this year." "Oh, it turns out you are 22."
Xu Le was not provoked, but felt that he could not hide himself in front of Bai Jing, so there was no need to hide.
Being always forced to ask questions by others, Xu Le felt a little unhappy. He asked casually: "What about you? You look quite young."
"I'm 22 tomorrow. After 12 o'clock, it will be my birthday!" Bai Jing seemed to be in a good mood.
However, her age shocked Xu Le.
"You said you have been doing this for more than 6 years? But you are only 22 tomorrow? You started working as a mercenary guide when you were 15 years old?"
"Why? Isn't it possible? Tianrui Lifeng has only gotten better in the past few years. In the early years, it was so chaotic that if you didn't work hard, you would have nothing to eat. With so many brothers and sisters, someone has to break out. "
Bai Jing's face was filled with a confident smile.
Xu Le understands this smile, self-realization, responsibility, and commitment.
Many people say that assuming responsibility is painful. In fact, if you can be needed by others, it is really a very happy thing.
"Isn't it too dangerous to be a wilderness guide at the age of 15?"
"Many times people don't have a choice. Unlike you, you look pampered at first glance. You didn't suffer any hardships when you were a child, right?"
"When you brag about your past, isn't that like the mercenaries you mentioned?" "Uh..." Bai Jing was speechless after being retorted by Xu Le.
"Tell me about the mission. Since you have 6 years of work experience, you should know a lot. Do you have any experience you can share?"
Seeing the seriousness of Xu Le's question, Bai Jing also restrained her previous joking expression.
"The mission of a mercenary is actually very simple, and the task of developing is even simpler. It is actually to deal with possible hidden dangers and threats. To put it more clearly, it is to deal with all the weirdness in the area of development, and that's it."
"Don't you need to think about combat coordination? What should you do if you encounter a relatively powerful monster?"
Previous mission experience made Xu Le understand how important it is for a team to have reasonable personnel allocation and command when 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 you fight alone, the group will be easily destroyed.
"You are talking about a team with a tacit understanding. Today, Tianrui Lifeng is mostly populated by savages, so it is impossible to cooperate like that. If you really encounter a strong enemy, you can solve it if you can. If you can't solve it, you can only run away. Already."
There was a look of nostalgia on Bai Jing's face, perhaps because her former friends and companions died during the mission.
Xu Le thought this way. "What if there is a disagreement in the team?"
"This is a normal thing, so I told you that it is best to have the ability to protect yourself when you go out."
Xu Le frowned again, meaning that he might encounter someone who would take action? It's really confusing. "I understand, thank you for clarifying my doubts."
"You're welcome. Let's check each other out for this mission. If you think I'm good, you can follow me on the next development mission."
Bai Jing said and actually handed over a business card.
Xu Le took the business card, which had a brief introduction from Bai Jing and the job number of the Tianrui Lifeng Mercenary Guild.
However, this approach is a bit like some salesmen. "Do you get a commission for being a guide?"
"Of course, if there is no commission, who will do this kind of work of licking blood from the edge of a knife? And this kind of thing is not something ordinary people can do. My mission success rate is 63%, and I should be regarded as the top guide in the harvest area. Already."
The mission success rate is 63%? In other words, there is nearly 40% mission failure rate...
According to the degree of danger in the wild, there is a high probability that half of the people will die if the mission fails...
This is ridiculous... "Hehe, hehe, 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 also responded with mixed feelings.
He knew that Bai Jing was just talking and wanted to know about his situation and background, so Xu Le's answers were irrelevant.
Bai Jing, who had not gained much, gradually lost her patience.
"Tch, you didn't say anything and I told you everything. It's not fair." "I didn't ask you to say anything either."
Seeing Xu Le's indifference, Bai Jing also frowned. The man in front of her didn't seem as easy to deal with as she had imagined.
"No, don't talk about knocking me down."
Returning to calm, the car slowly drove towards the wild. More than 3 hours later, they had arrived at a wilderness area.
The time also came to around 4 p.m.
There is still some time before the sun sets, but as Xu Le thought before, after arriving at the mission location, it is estimated that we will have to prepare for camping at night.
"The time chosen for the mission is really weird."
"The mission lasts for a long time. It's not just one night. What's the difference between morning and night?"
While the two were talking, the car jolted violently, and Ding Ke, who was sleeping in Xu Le's arms, was shaken awake.
Boom!~Meow! Xu Le stuffed Ding Ke directly into his arms, stood up and looked outside.
The car had stopped. The mercenary who was the driver turned to look at Bai Jing: "Xiao Bai, there seems to be something down there."
Hearing the driver's reminder, Bai Jing frowned and immediately jumped out of the glassless window.
He also had a long knife in his hand. Qiang! As soon as he landed on the ground, Bai Jing swung out a flash of the knife and slashed under the car.
And Xu Le, who was in the car, already knew what the strange thing was. [Earth-boring worm, deformed species, level 2, the ancient sound is so weird.]
It's just ordinary weirdness. It seems that it regards this bus as its prey.
"Hey, it seems like every time I go out in a car, something goes wrong. My destiny is in conflict with the car. Shouldn't I stop riding in the car in the future?"
Meow!~
Ding Ke nodded, and he tried his best to remain silent outside so as not to cause trouble.
When Xu Le slowly came down, the other mercenary team members had already got out of the car to be on guard. Compared with them, Xu Le looked much amateur. Bai Jing looked at the man repairing the car for a while, and then turned to look at Xu Le :
"You are so slow and have no fighting qualities at all. If you encountered a real crisis, you would have died just now."
Looking at Bai Jing who spoke righteously, Xu Le nodded dully. "It's reasonable 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 understand." Xu Le didn't refute, he was right.
"Xiao Bai, the wheel hub of the car is crooked. It will take a while to repair it. What should I say now?"
The mercenary driver looked at Bai Jing, who only thought briefly before making a judgment.
"Let's repair the car first. This area is close to a wasteland. There is no obvious shelter except weeds and a lot of rocks. This environment has advantages and disadvantages. If it is used as a camp, it needs to be guarded at night in turns. Then let’s do this for now.”
Bai Jing's attitude was very clear. Even the old mercenaries had no objections. Naturally, Xu Le, a bystander, couldn't speak up.
Others have already begun to take a rest.
Xu Le walked to an herb he had never seen before and stretched out his hand.
Where no one can see it, the soul branch has wrapped around the plant. "Is it poisonous? Toxic things are a good direction for development."
Just when she thought this, Bai Jing suddenly yelled at Xu Le: "Ding Ke, what are you doing? That plant is poisonous!" Meow?
Ding Ke woke up sleepily in Xu Le's arms.
