Volume Two: The Two-Headed Dragon Kiki Chapter 215: Building Momentum
Chapter 215 Building Momentum (Part 2)
Gu Nansheng smiled slightly, "Don't be nervous, it's not the time to smash it now. Let me ask you, has there been any martial arts competition held in the Netherworld Empire recently?"
Boss Yuan swallowed a mouthful of saliva, "No, no."
"Oh" Gu Nansheng was a little disappointed. There was nothing more influential than winning the first prize in a martial arts tournament.
"So what masters does Netherworld Emperor have?"
Boss Yuan wanted to kindly remind Gu Nansheng that those masters were not something Gu Nansheng could deal with. However, seeing Gu Nansheng's confident face, he swallowed the words back, "The head of the Chrisif family is a master.
Among the top three of the top ten masters in the Netherworld region, besides him, there are also the genius swordsman Luo Wei of the orc tribe, the Moon Shadow warrior Phantom of the elves, Ao Yun, the chief paladin of the Netherworld region, and "
Boss Yuan introduced them one by one, and Gu Nansheng silently remembered it in his mind. Although finding someone to challenge him was a shortcut to becoming famous, Gu Nansheng didn't like this method from the bottom of his heart. It would cause him a lot of unnecessary trouble.
The next day, Netherworld Imperial Capital, Mercenary Guild——
The most famous organizations in the neutral territory are the mercenary guild and the hunter guild. The mercenary guild prefers to protect the employer, escort goods, etc., while the hunter guild prefers tracking, hunting and treasure hunting.
The famous legendary hero bounty hunter Gondar is the leader of the largest hunter guild in the neutral territory and is revered as the King of Hunters.
The mercenary guild in the Netherworld is relatively well-known even in the entire Multi-Tower Continent. It is home to outstanding mercenary teams from all over the continent. The guild has a very good reputation, with a mission completion rate of 80%.
It was noon at this time, and under the scorching sun, the sword and shield logo on the silver plaque of the Mercenary Guild shone dazzlingly. In the hall, several veterans of the mercenary group were sitting on the table.
They chatted with their arms folded, their pants were dirty and shiny, and their hair was as messy as a straw nest and had obviously not been tidied for more than ten days.
Mercenaries are really not very particular, which is what makes them cute.
Gu Nansheng wore a green suit and walked to the front desk, cleared his throat and asked, "Are there any S-level missions?"
After much thought, he felt that completing an S-level or A-level mission in the mercenary guild would make him famous.
"S-level?" The lady at the front desk was stunned for a moment, then covered her mouth and chuckled, "Little brother, we are just a branch here. S-level tasks have to be received from the general meeting. Moreover, even the general meeting has been completed twice in a row.
There will be no S-level missions this year.”
Although the front desk lady's voice was polite, her smile reminded Gu Nansheng what a stupid thing he had just done. It reminded Gu Nansheng of the first time he took a plane, because Gu Nansheng was relatively poor and had never experienced anything in his life.
On that plane ride, he shouted on the plane: "Waiter, waiter, is there anyone selling lunch boxes?"
At that time, the waiter had the same smile on her face. Later, he learned that there was a button on his head, and when he pressed it, the flight attendant came, and the meals on the plane were also free.
The mercenaries in the hall heard Gu Nansheng's question and burst into laughter.
Gu Nansheng didn't take it seriously and continued to ask: "Are there any A-level ones?"
The lady smiled apologetically and said, "There are A-level ones. May I ask what mercenary group you belong to?"
Gu Nansheng asked in reply: "Can't we accept the mission without a mercenary group?"
The receptionist nodded regretfully, "Yes, unless you register a mercenary group, or join a certain mercenary group, and the registered mercenary group is only F level, you can only accept F level tasks or skip E level tasks.
To accept an A-level mission, you need a B-level or above mercenary group, please understand this rule, this is also to ensure the completion rate of the mission."
Needless to say, upgrading a mercenary group must be a very cumbersome process. Gu Nansheng is not in such a good mood to build a mercenary group...
It seems that this plan has been ruined again. Gu Nansheng was considering whether to pretend to be "cool" and challenge various masters. At this time, An Qi suddenly pulled Gu Nansheng's sleeve and motioned Gu Nansheng to look to the right with her eyes.
Gu Nansheng looked over and saw a woman wrapped in a black magic robe walking towards the front desk. She had a thin black gauze on her face, and her appearance could not be seen clearly. It could only be seen from the skin of her neck.
When she comes out, her skin is very white.
To dress like this on such a hot day and still act as if nothing had happened, she must not be an ordinary person.
"She seems to be from the Tower of Witch Doctors." An Qi didn't know how to use magic to transmit sounds. She turned her back to the woman and kept her voice as low as possible. Gu Nansheng guessed what An Qi meant by listening and recognizing her mouth patterns.
"How can you see it?" Gu Nansheng casually used energy to create a soundproof barrier, "Can you tell from the clothes?"
"No, the clothes she is wearing are not from the Witch Doctor Tower. There are several thin dents on her fingers, which were made by the black iron wire when the puppet master manipulated low-level puppets for a long time. Because they are not wounds,
Therefore, the treatment ointment cannot cure it. This kind of dent accumulates over time and cannot be recovered."
So that’s it. Gu Nansheng was amazed by An Qi’s observation ability. Although this little girl looked ignorant, she was outstanding. He asked An Qi again: “Then there are no marks on you? You are a potion.
Master, won’t there be any ‘medicine’ smell that others can smell?”
"Because there are no materials in the Bloody City, I haven't made any medicine for half a year. I just made some on a rush recently, and I have a fragrant powder specially designed to remove the smell of medicine."
After listening to An Qi's words, Gu Nansheng vaguely felt that An Qi was probably an extraordinary disciple in the Witch Doctor Tower. After all, she could escape from Kel'Thuzad's pursuit if she was given enough medicine.
, her strength cannot be underestimated.
It's just that because she has been isolated in the Witch Doctor's Tower for many years, her ability to interact with others is weaker.
The woman in black walked closer and closer. Gu Nansheng removed the sound barrier, subconsciously opened the Eye of Sargeras, and secretly paid attention.
The woman walked to the front desk lady, handed over a commission form, and said indifferently: "Mission No. 167."
The lady at the front desk smiled politely, then pulled out the mission record from a thick stack of paper, and after a cursory glance, the woman at the front desk looked apologetic and said, "I'm sorry, miss, your mission failed.
"
"Really?" The woman didn't seem surprised at all, "I'll entrust you again, increase the reward, and apply for an S1-level mission, okay?"
"SS1 level?" The receptionist's face was a little unnatural, and the fingers holding the pen were a little stiff. "The level you applied for before was only A1 level. You don't need to go through three levels to apply for S-level tasks. The reward for S-level tasks is
Very high.”
The levels of mercenary missions can be divided into seven levels: s, a, b, c, d, e, and f. Level a and level s are further subdivided into three sub-levels: 1, 2, and 3. Level three is the highest, with level a1
There are a2 and a3 between it and s1.
"Because in addition to the previous tasks, I want to add one more thing, that is, find someone to protect me, and the person chasing me may be a second-level peak powerhouse. Maybe he has helpers, and the helpers are also very strong.
.”
"Second level? Peak? Are there any helpers?" The front desk lady's face turned pale. This level of task is not something that a branch like theirs can undertake. You know, the second level peak powerhouse can already be ranked in the Netherworld.
The ranks of the top ten strong men.
It is even a question whether there is a mercenary guild in the Netherworld Emperor City that dares to take on this task. It is not easy to find a few first-order experts among those who work in the mercenary profession.
She took out the communication crystal, dialed the phone number of her supervisor, and applied for an S-level task. She must report it to the head office, and the head office would personally issue the task...
While waiting for the connection, the front desk lady said, "Please wait a moment. I would like to kindly remind you that the rewards for S-level missions cannot be paid with gold coins, because most strong people don't care much about money after reaching this level, and...
Our guild may not be able to take on this task."
"Don't worry, I can afford it." The girl's voice could not hear any fluctuations, and she always spoke in the same tone.
After the call was connected, the front desk lady called a carriage and called a few lazy mercenaries in the lobby to take the mysterious lady to the Mercenary General Guild.
Gu Nansheng watched the people disappear, gently touched his nose, and asked the receptionist: "If the client agrees to assign the mission to me, will the mercenary guild agree?"
The lady at the front desk was stunned, "You don't want to take over the mission just now. Little brother, I advise you not to cause any trouble. Haven't you heard that there is a second-level peak powerhouse? And there may be other helpers.
How can the helper of a second-level strongman be no worse than a first-level strongman? "There are many words." Because Gu Nansheng is only in her twenties, and the front desk lady is already nearly thirty, so she always calls Gu Nansheng ""
little brother.
Since this young lady also had good intentions, Gu Nansheng suppressed his impatience and said, "Let me ask again, do you agree or disagree?"
The lady at the front desk breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I agree, you can trade privately. If you want to register it with the mercenary guild, you can, but you have to make a statement that the guild will not be responsible for any consequences."
Gu Nansheng nodded and said to Lina and An Qi, "Let's go."
The three of them walked out of the mercenary guild. At a corner, Lina and An Qi disappeared into the gem of life. Gu Nansheng wrapped his collar, spread out his body skills, and chased the carriage in front of him like a shadow.
An hour later, the carriage finally stopped in front of the Mercenary Guild. The Mercenary Guild had exactly the same architectural style as the branch, but it was a little larger. When Gu Nansheng walked in, the girl who was suspected to be the puppet master of the Witch Doctor Tower
Relevant procedures are being processed.
There are obviously a lot more people in the main guild, and the quality of the mercenaries on the seats is also much higher. At least there are no shirtless ones. They are all headhunters of the mercenary group.
The so-called headhunters are people sent by major mercenary groups to sit in the mercenary guild and wait for business. When they encounter a high-paying and lucrative task, they will rush to take it. And those who can sit in the headhunting area of the mercenary guild openly
The headhunters are all members of the A-level mercenary group.
After Gu Nansheng walked into the mercenary guild, he also sat in the seat of the group of headhunters. A small young man glanced at Gu Nansheng sideways and saw the empty sleeve of the latter's left arm.
A hint of disdain.
"Hey, one-armed one, which path are you from? Are you new here?" These headhunters who were waiting for tasks at the main guild all knew each other, and there were new faces all of a sudden, so they naturally wanted to ask.
Gu Nansheng is not a good-tempered person. He never minds giving such an arrogant person a good beating. But now he is in the Mercenary General Guild. He is here to take over the task. Naturally, he does not want to cause trouble, so he simply ignores it.
them.
"Grandpa, what are you asking? Don't you know that this is a place where only A-level mercenary groups can come? Tell me who your boss is, or get out!"
"Damn it, not only is this kid missing an arm, he's also deaf."
"'Fuck'! This kid is so stupid. If he hadn't been allowed to do it here, I would have beaten you until you didn't even recognize your mother."
"Good boy, you're dead. Wait until you get out of the mercenary guild's gate and see if we don't skin you. If you have the guts, don't go out."
Competition among headhunters is fierce. They get a commission for every lucrative task they take on. They will naturally attack in groups those who suddenly appear to grab food, so headhunters who are not A-level mercenary groups have no choice.
Sitting here….
Gu Nansheng used his energy to build a soundproof barrier around him. It wasn't that he couldn't stand the contempt and insults of others, but that he was afraid that after hearing a few more words, he would be tempted to kill someone. Since his experience in the Bloody City, he has often restrained himself.
Unable to control his murderous intentions, he must constantly remind himself that this is not a city of bloodshed, this is not a world beyond the slaughterhouse.
After all, the lady at the front desk of the main guild has seen a lot of things in the world. After hearing the girl in black tell her the task content, she was just stunned for a moment and continued to fill out the form, "Please show me the reward."
The girl in black took out a simple wooden box from the package, opened it and took out a long cloth bag. The girl carefully untied the dark brown cloth strip, and a white weapon gradually appeared.
"Exposed".
It should be said to be a knife, but the back of the knife is very thick, the blade is short, the guard is wide, and the shape looks a bit funny.
The lady at the front desk pushed up her glasses on the bridge of her nose and said with some disbelief: "Is this a casual gift?"
The headhunters sitting in the guild suddenly stood up when they heard the word Sanhua, and no one paid any attention to Gu Nansheng anymore.
"What? Sanhua? How many stars?"
"No, it's really unsophisticated. Damn it, I've only seen it in pictures in my life."
"Tiantian, what level of mission is this? It offers such a high reward."
With the sound of tables being pushed and chairs being moved, a group of people rushed to the front desk of the guild with a roar. The front desk lady known as Tiantian rolled her eyes at these headhunters, "Is that what you called Tiantian? Let's move away. Let's move away."
, whoever dares to hang around here should not accept this mission."
"Yes, yes, yes." The man who called out Tiantian nodded and hurriedly backed away a few meters away. Others also backed away.
"Sister Sweet, this mission must be reserved for our group. The A1 level mission last time was robbed by the cattle herding mercenary group. Sister Sweet, you can't be partial this time."
"Damn! One-eyed Pao, who do you think is the cattle-herding mercenary group?"
"Damn it, you dare to say that I'm a one-eyed guy again!"
Seeing that the two of them were about to quarrel, Tiantian gave them a hard look. It was hard for her to get angry in front of her customers, but her fierce eyes showed her warning - whoever dares to quarrel again says that this is your mission.
Don't even think about picking it up.
"So is this loose flower enough to apply for an S1-level mission?" the woman in black asked.
S-class?
Upon hearing this level, the headhunters looked at each other. S-level missions had not appeared for two years. They thought they would be A2 or A3 at most.
S-level is an exciting level, because completing it will bring a lot of points to the mercenary group, and if the A-level mercenary group wants to upgrade to an S-level mercenary group, it must complete an S-level mission.
90% of the A-level mercenary groups present have obtained enough points, but they have not been able to advance because they have not been able to complete an S-level mission.
If this mission can be completed, the reward for upgrading the mercenary group alone will exceed the mission reward - Sanhua itself.
Thinking of this, all the headhunters became excited, and a few smart headhunters had quietly taken out the communication crystal. If the group leader personally took action, the probability of getting the task would definitely be higher.
The procedure for handling an S-level mission was very long. Ten minutes later, Tiantian packed up all the forms and said to the woman in black: "Then I will read out the contents of the contract. The task we need to complete is: sneak into Spider Canyon and get ten
An egg from the Blood Bath Mother, and will protect your safety within three months. The reward is a handful of powder, level two and a half, which increases attack power by 8 points, strength by 14 points, and has a 5% chance of using
The target is disabled. The disabled effect causes the target to slow down by 15%, which lasts for 4 seconds. If there are no objections, I will release it."
The girl in black nodded, "It's ready to be released."
As soon as the mission was posted, a group of headhunters swarmed in. The little man who ran to the front with quick eyes and quick hands took off the mission card and said, "Haha, S-level mission, this time the leader won't praise me to death."
….
"Damn, this is mine!"
"Brothers, beat him!"
Seeing such a chaotic scene, Tiantian slammed the table and shouted in a high-decibel voice: "It's all the other way around! If anyone makes any more noise, none of you will do this task!"
Tiantian looks very gentle, but she acts like a tigress when she gets mad. You can't blame Tiantian, even a little white rabbit guarding such a group of mercenaries who are best at drinking and causing trouble will change after so many years.
Became a big bad wolf.
If you are not fierce, who will listen to you?
The girl in black frowned at the performance of this group of mercenaries. She had no choice but to do so. Mercenaries are not an army after all. Even an S-class mercenary group is just a bunch of rabble in front of the army.
Tiantian first apologized to the girl in black, then turned to the group of headhunters in front of her and said coldly: "Is it because there haven't been S-level missions for so long? You have all forgotten the selection criteria for S-level missions. Do you really think that S-level missions are
It’s a big piece of cake, you can eat it if you want.”
"Only those involving second-level or above strong men will be rated as S-level tasks. Among them, the second-level S1, the third-level S2, and the fourth-level S3. This mission of taking spider eggs can only be regarded as A2 at best, but to protect the employer
If you want to face more than one second-level peak powerhouse, if you want to take on the task, you must first weigh yourself."
"Second level peak? More than one?" The little man who grabbed the mission card was dumbfounded. There was only one first level strong person in their group, and he had just reached the first level, which was not enough for others to fill their teeth.
