"Little brother, the seats here are already full. I wonder if I can sit here with you."
At this time, 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 unremarkable appearance. He is a very ordinary type, but the kindness in his expression is not something he pretends to be casually.
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 also be a mercenary."
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 was only twenty-five years old when I successfully condensed it into my body.
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 terms of Tianyuan Continent. For such a person, the greatest limit in life is almost 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. The worst case may be seriously injured, his cultivation will be completely lost, and he will become a cripple for the rest of his life. The worst case, he may be killed directly.
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 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.
Jian Chen knew this very well, because he had read this knowledge in both the academy's library and the Changyang Mansion's library.
"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,
They are all a drag, a heavy package, which not only hinders his own performance, but also causes great obstacles to his improvement of strength. After all, the only way for him to quickly improve his strength is to rely on absorption.
The energy in the magic core, and the number of magic cores required is a very huge number. If he enters the Warcraft Mountains alone to hunt the magic beasts, then all the gains will naturally be his alone, so he can barely keep up with him.
consumption rate.
But if he joins a team, although it will be easier to hunt monsters, 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 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 we don't have much respect for our members, unlike those large mercenary groups.
, the various rules and regulations inside make people feel confused. 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 Warcraft is a
It is a very profitable thing, and the magic core can be sold at a very good price after all, and it is also indispensable to cultivate the holy power yourself. Others, even the corpses of magic beasts, are also items purchased by major restaurants at high prices."
"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 are so big.
You couldn't sell it for a lot of money, so you spent a lot of effort to kill it. Maybe the money sold wasn't enough for your healing expenses, and it doesn't 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, you can rest assured 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."
