"Little brother, the seats here are already full. I wonder if I can sit here with you."
At this moment, a slightly thick voice came from beside Jian Chen. Hearing the words, Jian Chen raised his head slightly and saw a middle-aged man standing opposite the table where he was sitting with a smile on his face. His eyes were full of kindness.
The middle-aged man was about forty years old and was wearing a blue robe. However, even Jian Chen with sharp eyes could see that this robe was made of rough cloth and was a very cheap material. A middle-aged man with an inch-long short black hair and an ordinary appearance. He is a very ordinary man, but the kindness in his expression is not just a random act.
Jian Chen nodded with a smile and said: "Since the tables in the restaurant are all occupied, and I don't need such a wide seat by myself, I should share it with everyone, please take a seat!"
"So, thank you so much, little brother." The middle-aged man smiled generously, cupped his hands in front of Jian Chen, and then without being polite, he directly pulled out the stool and sat down.
"Son, here's a pound of white wine and a pound of horse meat!" As soon as he sat down, the middle-aged man shouted.
"Okay, sir, please wait a moment!" the waiter replied from a distance.
Jian Chen's eyes lingered on the middle-aged man's face for a while, then he ignored him and ate his own food.
The middle-aged man looked at Jian Chen again and chuckled, "I don't know what to call this little brother."
"Jian Chen!" Jian Chen chewed the meat and said in a somewhat unclear tone.
"Jian Chen, haha, that's a nice name." The middle-aged man looked Jian Chen up and down, and then asked again: "Brother Jian Chen, you must be a mercenary too."
Jian Chen nodded, "Yes, due to my limited strength, I am still just a D-level mercenary at the lowest level."
The level of a mercenary is linked to its own strength and success in completing tasks. The lowest level D-level mercenaries are usually rookie mercenaries who have just been promoted to saints. However, among the D-level mercenaries, there are still some There were some people who had no talent in cultivation and had not condensed a holy weapon. Although the middle-aged man opposite showed a very kind gesture, Jian Chen did not reveal his exact strength.
The middle-aged man smiled nonchalantly and said: "Little brother, I guess you are only twenty years old at most. At such an age, you can successfully condense the holy soldiers and become a saint. Your future will be unlimited." Ah." What the middle-aged man said was sincere. Just as he said this, the middle-aged man suddenly let out a long sigh and continued: "I think back then, I only successfully condensed it into my body when I was twenty-five years old. Holy soldier, break through to become a saint, and little brother, you can actually reach the strength of a saint at the age of twenty. I believe that in the near future, Tianyuan Continent will once again have an Earth Saint Master with outstanding talents." When the words "Earth Saint Master" were mentioned, the middle-aged man's expression was full of yearning.
Hearing this, Jian Chen couldn't help but look at the middle-aged man again, and he already had some affection for the middle-aged man in his heart, but that was all.
The ability to condense a holy weapon at the age of twenty-five is indeed mediocre in Tianyuan Continent. For such a person, the greatest limit in his life is almost always at the stage of the Great Saint Master. If he does not encounter any opportunities, I am afraid that I will not be able to break through and become an Earth Saint Master in my lifetime.
After all, there is a very difficult barrier between the Great Saint Master and the Earth Saint Master. This barrier is hundreds of times more difficult than condensing holy weapons to become a saint, because, from then on, If the Great Saint Master breaks through to the Earth Saint Master, if he is not careful, he will fall into a place of eternal disaster. At the least, he will be seriously injured, his cultivation will be completely lost, and he will become a cripple for life. And if it's serious, it will directly lead to death.
There is a life-and-death barrier between the Great Saint Master and the Earth Saint Master. On the Tianyuan Continent, there are many people with mediocre qualifications who have stayed with the Great Saint Master throughout their lives and have no hope of breaking through to become the Earth Saint Master. And there are no longer a few people who die on this step.
If you want to break through from the Great Saint Master to the Earth Saint Master, the success rate is only one percent.
Regarding this point, Jian Chen knew very well, because he had read this knowledge both in the academy's library and in Changyang Mansion.
"Little brother, I guess you haven't joined the mercenary group yet." The middle-aged man looked at Jian Chen with a smile on his face and said.
Hearing this, Jian Chen's heart moved. He already guessed what the middle-aged man would do next, but he still nodded and said, "Not bad!"
"Little brother, why don't you come to our Raging Flame Mercenary Group? Although our Raging Flame Mercenary Group is a small and unpopular mercenary group, the people in it are very kind." There was a look of expectation in the middle-aged man's eyes.
After hearing this, Jian Chen fell silent. Before, he had never thought about joining any mercenary group. In his opinion, no matter which mercenary group he joined, for him, It's all a drag, a heavy package, which not only limits his performance, but also creates a great obstacle to his improvement in strength. After all, the only way for him to quickly improve his strength is to absorb the magic core. The energy inside, and the number of magic cores required is a very huge number. If he enters the Warcraft Mountains alone to hunt Warcraft, then all the gains will naturally be his alone, so he can barely keep up with his consumption. speed.
But if he joins a team, although it will be easier to hunt Warcraft, the distribution of the number of magic cores will become a problem. It can be said that if Jian Chen really joins a mercenary group, he will not be able to do anything unless he acts alone. , after all, the distribution of magic cores is not as much as that of him hunting the magic beasts alone.
Seeing Jian Chen deep in thought, the middle-aged man did not give up at all, and continued to speak: "Brother Jian Chen, our Flame Mercenary Group is just a small mercenary group, and there are no restrictions on its members. Unlike those large mercenary groups, there are The various rules and regulations are confusing. You joined our mercenary group just to provide everyone with an easier and simpler way to make money. After all, you also know that hunting World of Warcraft is a very important task. It’s a matter of making money, and after all, magic cores can be sold at a very good price, and it is also essential to cultivate the power of the saint yourself. Others, even the corpses of magic beasts, are items purchased at high prices by major restaurants."
"It is said that there is strength in numbers. Once we have more people, we can kill even high-level monsters. Just imagine, once we successfully kill a high-level monster, how much profit will there be? You must know how big it is." After saying this, the middle-aged man paused, stared at Jian Chen, and continued: "And if you are alone, you may be able to deal with some low-level magic beasts, but these magic beasts cannot be sold for a long time. You can't sell it for a lot of money, but you have to spend a lot of effort to kill it. Maybe the money you sell is not enough for your healing expenses, and it does not rule out the possibility of being attacked by a powerful monster or a group of monsters. Do you think you can handle being chased by several or even dozens of monsters by yourself? This is absolutely impossible. In the end, your life will not be in vain."
Seeing that Jian Chen still didn't speak, the middle-aged man spoke seductively again: "Brother Jian Chen, please don't worry about the distribution of benefits. Although our Raging Flame Mercenary Group is only a small mercenary group that has just been established a few years ago, , but the brothers in the group are all tough men, and the friendship between brothers is more important than money. Once we gain something, no matter whether you have contributed or not, we will not treat you badly."
