Su Zhizhu and Ba Manzhen, a pair of mercenary partners, had experience in fighting in other worlds, and their long-term business scope extended beyond Changping.
In a sense, compared to the two of them, Lu Ping'an and the others, locals who had never left the ancient city, were indeed country bumpkins who had never seen the market.
Naturally, the channels through which both parties get information are not on the same level. At least, the focus is different.
There is official news on Lu Ping An's side, but at his level (grassroots executor), you often have to figure out what to do, how to do it, the reasons and rumors, and so on.
For the mercenary group, if they communicate with their former friends, they will naturally get information about Lu Ping'an that they would not have access to.
"There are more than six worlds in the first batch that can be explored. One of them will have many opportunities and is extremely dangerous. We don't want to let useless waste lead the team, so we will do our own research and wait until we get there. , we also need this certificate, which can help us get help from the local garrison. With the certificate, we will be much more flexible."
Su Zhizhu hesitated for a moment and finally said it.
From her perspective, Lu Ping'an was someone she needed to cooperate with. Although she was furious, she had to admit that this man was far more powerful than she had expected.
"He didn't use all his strength."
I showed the video of the battle to Ba Manzhen. I originally asked her to help me see if I had any chance of winning, but in the end, I saw an unexpected answer.
".He has spare strength and he has tricks at his disposal."
Ba Manzhen's language ability is really poor. Even though he has been working hard to make up for the lessons recently, he still can't speak clearly.
But she could observe from Lu Pingan's expression that he always had reservations and had a winning mentality from the beginning. Even at the moment when Su Zhizhu was fighting for his life, Lu Pingan's eyes remained calm.
He was confident that his hard power on the frontal battlefield could crush Su Zhizhu.
"interesting."
This not only aroused Ba Manzhen's fighting spirit, but also made Su Zhizhu have to readjust his attitude towards Lu Ping'an. There was no way to avoid it. It was too difficult to get these two places for himself. He was still in the internship period. He did something for nothing (beating up his teammates).
The helpless Su Zhizhu was forced to talk to his partner before he gave up his plan to duel with Lu Ping'an directly.
"I don't have the specific information about that special world here yet, but my friend promised to give it to me at the cost price. If you want it, I can give it to you at the lowest price."
Strength is the most confident communication card. No matter what, she must re-evaluate her relationship with Lu Ping An.
At this moment, Su Zhizhu was undoubtedly showing off his kindness. Although he had been beaten by the other party, he had to lower his head to show his kindness at this time. Su Zhizhu felt extremely wronged. But could he still expect his single-cell partner to have interpersonal relationships? It would be nice if she didn't cause any trouble.
Thinking of her grievances, her nose twitched and she almost shed tears.
Lu Ping'an just opened his mouth, but was knocked aside by Xia Qin's shoulder.
"Ahem, from now on we will all be a family and cooperate with each other. This time, maybe we can cooperate even more." Xia Qin spoke directly.
"Cooperate, meow! I'm going to take the exam too!"
Someone took the lead in welcoming them, and the atmosphere naturally became much warmer.
Lu Ping'an, who was pushed to the side, shrugged. He really didn't intend to say anything weird, and was going to express his goodwill. He also planned to find an opportunity to recruit the two of them.
".Help me ask, is this the 'time of encountering the devil'?"
At this time, the big cat became excited.
Lu Pingan did as he was told. When Su Zhizhu heard this, his expression changed instantly.
".Do you also have a channel for information?"
This was undoubtedly acquiescence, and at this time Lu Pingan did not answer immediately. He had to deal with the screaming in his ears.
"You must not miss this opportunity, you must not! No wonder they are developing the Explorer at this time, it is about to be released. Be sure to get it, and have a safe road! This is a small profit for others, but it is a take-off for us and you Opportunity."
Faced with the woman's inquiry, Lu Ping'an just smiled.
"By the way, we would also like to welcome our two old members who have successfully become regular members."
Lu Ping looked around and talked about other things. Seeing that he didn't want to talk, the others naturally asked him to change the topic.
And this in itself is indeed worthy of celebration.
Previously, there were several vacant spots in the third special team, which could be filled with new recruits. Other teams also had similar needs.
So, naturally, there was a recruitment fair for merit-based admission. The backgrounds of Ba Manzhen and Su Zhizhu were not very good, and their backgrounds were actually a bit gray.
But they were tough enough, with two captain-level players who were willing to sign long-term contracts as team members, and finally got two spots.
Su Zhizhu originally didn't want to come to the Third Special Service Team, and other teams also recruited them, but Ba Manzhen strongly demanded (weak, refused), and finally had no choice but to compromise.
And as soon as they arrived, they were given the "formal establishment", which undoubtedly made several old team members a little confused.
"We know that they came here just for verification, but some of our veteran team members who have been through life and death cannot miss this opportunity. It makes no sense to give priority to outsiders when there are good things, but forget about our own brothers."
The other captains also made suggestions, and there was a bit of a fuss for a while.
As a result, the Alien Management Bureau temporarily approved a batch of "regular quotas". Xia Qin worked hard and won two for the Third Special Service Team.
"Thank you everyone, I actually have a lucky day." This person was probably really excited, and his voice started to whimper.
"Uh, bit my tongue." Well, not really.
Xue En, who was as unlucky as ever, actually had no intention of taking the test. He had no intention of leading the team. No one in the team would be willing to follow him.
But at this time, it is naturally a good thing to help him solve the identity problem. The identity of the special teams team is obviously more valuable than before.
"Thank you, meow!"
And the other one is naturally Xia Qin's pampered cat.
She is actually the luckiest. She is not qualified enough (shown) and has insufficient qualifications, but she was forced to win this opportunity.
She would take the exam, but even she herself wasn't very sure.
Senior Sister Hua and Miss Lu? They were somewhat interested, but after some consultation, they finally gave up. They were not interested in becoming "officials."
Moreover, if you join the company now, you will definitely need to sign a long-term contract, which will definitely disrupt their already started career plans.
But they must take the test for the qualification of secret keeper, which is also the prerequisite for the opening of their "company".
If you think about it this way, there are many people in the small office of the Third Special Service Team who are preparing to take the qualification certificate test.
"Is work okay?"
"It's only been a month. If there is any problem, many troublesome people will go and check it themselves. The number of police calls has been much less these days."
"Didn't I say that only those with official background can take the exam?"
"The rules can only stop most of the troublesome people who are not good enough. Some people cannot be stopped. Our special service team can open the door to convenience, and other agencies are similar."
For some things, the water is too deep. It sounds upsetting and there is nothing that can be done about it.
But judging from the results, the status of the special service team has obviously improved. At least the cold reception like Lu Ping'an did at the Food Association last time should not happen again.
It's just that Lu Ping'an himself probably doesn't have time to think about this.
He will soon be leaving for the state capital. In addition to the endless homework, he also needs to complete several necessary adjustments and preparations.
"As a runner, there is a second self-curse to advance. Try to complete it before you leave."
Lu Ping'an's first self-curse has been completed. The skin color of his body under his clothes will reveal a very light green color when exposed to the sun.
The curse of "vegetation of the flesh" has been completed, but it does not mean that it is over.
As a professional self-curse, it is the same as the self-curse of talent. It is a deepening process. As time goes by, with the upgrade of the ritual and the improvement of Lu Pingan's ability, this curse will naturally become more powerful if more money is added. , the benefits will be greater and the side effects will be smaller.
[Congratulations to the host for completing the 'Curse of the Ancient Tree (Phase 1, Brass)', and obtaining the passive talent ability 'Heart of the Ancient Tree (Brass, with three basic branches)'. The physical fitness has been moderately improved, and the reflex has been slightly reduced. 】
Well, the reflex that most hopes to grow not only did not rise, but also dropped sharply.
But as a price, the new passive talent Heart of the Ancient Tree is quite easy to use. It has three basic branches, each one more useful than the other.
".This wave, it can be regarded as a force to be reckoned with."
