The old man sang ancient songs, and his deep eyes seemed to see through Wang Meng's body, looking directly outside.
He grabbed Wang Meng's cloak from a distance, pulled hard, and said in a low voice: "Brother, this old man is so dirty, let's go out."
Wang Meng was stunned and realized that Yuan Yuan must be afraid of the old man's appearance. He thought he was just a child, so he touched Yuan Yuan's head. Wang Meng smiled and said: "Brother, I have something else to tell this grandpa. If you are afraid, just come at the door."
Wait for me outside. But remember not to go too far."
"Yeah brother, I understand."
His deep gaze covered his forehead like wrinkles struck by a sword. His gray cardigan hung down on his body, and the buttons were gone. His dark chest exuded a stench. The old man's body was hunched over, and a broken knife was placed beside him.
bow.
A small insect flew around the old man, and Wang Meng felt nauseated. "Damn, fly."
An NPC behind saw Wang Meng walking to the corner and laughed loudly: "Young man, haha, what are you doing there? The old beggar is useless. If you want to hire good mercenaries, you need to find me. Look, my muscles
How strong."
Wang Meng didn't look back, was it useless? There was a sneer on the corner of his mouth. Wang Meng had a feeling that in the mercenary hall, the one who could really shock him was the sloppy old man in front of him.
Because just when he looked over, Wang Meng clearly felt a strong murderous aura. It was a murderous aura that could only be honed after countless life and death experiences.
"This old man's previous experience is definitely not simple!" Wang Meng touched his forehead: "If you can hire this old man to take risks in Tadar Town, even if the old man is old, he can at least help you with experience."
Having made up his mind, Wang Meng has decided to hire this old archer. "Grandpa, I want to hire you to follow me on adventures in Tadar Town. I wonder how much your hiring fee is?"
In addition to some silver coins, Wang Meng only had 10 gold coins stolen from Xi Jiangyue. His wealth was not much after arriving in Tadar, a relatively developed place, so Wang Meng had to ask how many gold coins he wanted to avoid being treated badly.
It would be an embarrassing situation where you actually hired someone but couldn't pay the gold coins.
The old man raised his head suddenly, his eyes fell on Wang Meng, staring carefully, as if he wanted to find something. Then, he stretched out a finger tremblingly.
"Oh, one hundred gold coins!" Wang Meng instantly had the urge to jump off the building. As expected, he raised the price while sitting on the ground, which was a mistake.
"No, the old beggar is 1 gold coin. But, boy, do you really plan to hire such a useless person who can't fight or run away? Haha!" The mercenaries surrounding the table all laughed together.
This group of mercenaries obviously wanted to pick someone they considered useless because Wang Meng refused to hire them, so they were very angry and deliberately used words to provoke Wang Meng and others.
Wang Meng understood in his heart, but he still couldn't let the old man be looked down upon by this group of people. He immediately took out two gold coins from the package. He shook it and said, "I'll give you two gold coins and come with me."
The old beggar just opened his eyes and lazily turned towards the door, ignoring Wang Meng.
The mercenary became even more arrogant and laughed loudly: "Young man, are you sure? The old beggar has his own rules and will not be hired easily. If you want to hire him, you must make him laugh."
"Damn, what kind of rule is this!" Wang Meng couldn't help but cursed, but when he saw the old man in front of him, he gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I'll make him laugh now."
To tease someone, the most effective way is of course to make faces. Although he has not used this trick to tease girls since puberty, Wang Meng will never forget it. Well, it is just like teasing girls. Wang Meng shut up.
He closed his eyes and made several funny faces that he thought were disgusting.
Then he opened his eyes, and the first thing he saw was the old man. His calm face seemed to have never looked at Wang Meng at all.
"Hey, I, Wang Meng, specialize in treating all kinds of dissatisfaction. I can't even make faces, and I still have jokes."
Wang Meng understood that the next step was going to be an arduous battle. He took a deep breath and crossed his legs: "The difference in a woman's humor is: give her a candle, some think she still lacks a cake, and some just
I feel like a candle is missing..."
After glancing at it, there was no response. It seemed that the old man didn't understand the meaning of the joke.
"Young man, give up. The old loser has never smiled since he came to the mercenary group."
Half an hour later, Wang Meng was panting from exhaustion, but the old man just kept looking at him coldly. Don't joke, he didn't even say much. Finally, even the good-tempered Wang Meng couldn't help but complain: "Damn it, don't talk to me.
Back then, it was even more tiring to pick up seniors. This old man was really difficult to take care of."
Wang Meng said seriously and rolled his eyes casually, but saw the old man slowly stood up and patted the dust on his body: "My name is Marcelo, and I am willing to be your mercenary. But you must remember one thing, I am only yours."
Mercenaries, not servants."
There is a hint of unruly temperament in the corners of his eyes. Even though he has aged, that arrogance remains unchanged.
Wang Meng nodded heavily. This was a promise, a promise to the hero: "I swear, you have all the rights to freedom."
After taking the gold coins, the old man forced a smile on his lips. It was ugly. If Wang Meng hadn't been careful, he wouldn't have noticed it was a smile.
"Old waste, aren't you afraid of death with your old bones? Haha..."
There was a smile from behind. Marcelo picked up his broken bow and followed Wang Meng. The two of them left the employment hall. There will be tasks in the employment hall at any time, so Wang Meng did not go to the task bar this time. Because he was accepting Marcelo.
After becoming an old mercenary, Wang Meng still had some other things to be busy with.
Lin Er, the grocery store owner mentioned by the village chief, is not in a hurry to find him yet. He can walk around the town first to see if he can get some tasks. But before that, there is one thing that must be done early.
Make a set of leather armor equipment.
Why Wang Meng has this idea is because the equipment Marcelo is wearing is too shabby. As an employer of mercenaries, why should you make your mercenaries dress neatly, so that you can have face?
!
After learning how to tailor, Wang Meng was able to make a level 10 leather armor suit - snakeskin armor. The required material was a large amount of silver snakeskin. Basically, to make a suit, about 400 pieces of this low-level leather were needed.
This silver skin is a type of level 15 silver snake that will explode. Since there are too many goods, it is too late to go out to hunt for skins. Wang Meng decided to collect some skins first, since he now has gold coins anyway.
The town of Tadar is much larger than the Hermit Village, so there are many more corresponding supporting facilities. For example, there is a trading market not far from the employment hall, where players can consign things that they cannot use temporarily. The consignment time
It usually takes 2 hours. Once the consignment time is up, the one with the highest price will get it. Of course, there are also sellers who set a fixed price, which will be much faster.
Outside the trading market is the famous stall area, but now the people here are withered, and there is no silver snake skin. So Wang Meng took Marcelo and Yuan Yuan directly into the trading market.
Open the search bar and grab the keyword silver snakeskin. Sure enough, it comes out.
There were two players trading the silver snake skin in the trading market. One sold it for 300 pieces, and the other sold it for 200 pieces.
The price of silver snake skin is generally 2 copper coins. This guy who offered a fixed price was quite aggressive and offered 3 copper coins. Since this was what he wanted to buy, Wang Meng didn't even frown and bought it for 6 silver coins.
These 200 skins. Next are the big ones with these 300 skins.
The system prompts that a player has already bid 7 silver coins. Without any hesitation, Wang Meng directly pressed the bid for 10 silver coins. Now that he still has a full 8 gold coins, he doesn't need to worry about this little money. Moreover, Wang Meng likes to do it the most.
The only thing is to kill the opponent instantly by a large margin, and then enjoy the sound of the opponent's heart breaking. If you add one silver coin to another, that would be a painful thing.
There are still three minutes left for the silver snakeskin bidding. Wang Meng has been staring nervously at the screen in front of him after bidding. He doesn't want anything to go wrong at the last moment.
One minute passed, but there was no movement. Wang Meng just wanted to breathe a sigh of relief, but at this moment, the number jumped.
"20 silver coins." Someone had taken advantage of him and made an offer, and he actually added 10 silver coins. Apparently he wanted to use a high price to suppress Wang Meng.
Wang Meng entered 21 without even blinking, taking the initiative back into his own hands at the last moment.
"Ding! Congratulations, you have used 21 silver coins and won 300 silver snake skins in the auction. The system will automatically deduct the handling fee, and the silver snake skins will be automatically transferred to your package in 10 minutes. Please check carefully."
"Okay, I've taken it down." Wang Meng raised the corners of his mouth slightly, showing a confident smile.
At this time, Yuan Yuan took Wang Meng's hand, shook Wang Meng's arm, and said coquettishly: "Big brother, who was robbing big brother just now?"
Wang Meng shook his head: "I don't know either, but it shouldn't be in this competitive hall. Tsk tsk, the handling fee for remote participation in competitive auctions is as high as 20%. This kid doesn't know..." The next moment, Wang Meng's face changed drastically, and he said immediately:
"No, let's leave quickly."
At the same time, at a high-level leveling point, a player with dyed golden hair stared at the screen in front of him with wide eyes: "Damn, have you found out who stole the fur of the fourth child?"
