"Hehehe..." When several mercenaries heard what Bai Jing said, they all laughed strangely.
Even after being warned by Bai Jing, these people still had no intention of restraining themselves.
The aggressive eyes looked at Bai Jing unscrupulously.
But Bai Jing didn't really care about the looks in these people's eyes, or she had seen the same looks too many times.
Every time you go out, there will be new mercenaries, and every time you go out, new mercenaries will become veterans.
When these newcomers become veterans, they will lose their previous restraint and become unscrupulous.
Human beings are all like this, there is nothing strange about it.
"Well, the content of Tianrui Lifeng's development mission is very simple, which is to explore and develop so that the dark outer land can become a place for human habitation.
This is also different from other cities. You must remember that you may not be able to trust each other because it is the first time for many people to meet and contact you.
But I hope you can at least avoid harming your teammates in the wild.
Everyone has difficulties, and you may fall down one day. When the time comes, you will definitely want someone to give you a hand.
Okay, if you have any questions, just ask them, and don’t hide them."
Bai Jing didn't introduce much. After saying a few words, she stopped and started walking around on the bus.
Xu Le took his cat with him and looked out the window. He kept his red beard and had a dark aura.
This left no one sitting next to Xu Le.
The car drove smoothly for about an hour, and the speed was not fast. According to Bai Jing, they still had nearly 4 hours' drive to the mission destination.
Xu Le couldn't help but sigh when he heard this statement:
"This Tianrui Lifeng development area is really ridiculously large."
"Hey, sit inside."
While Xu Le was thinking about the problem, Bai Jing actually walked up to him and motioned Xu Le to sit inside, wanting to sit next to him.
Xu Le frowned slightly, although this woman with the same name as the captain gave him some good impressions.
But to be honest, his current situation is still that no strangers are allowed to enter.
So he said sadly:
"Isn't there a seat elsewhere? How dare you think you can sit here?"
Seeing Xu Le lower his voice, Bai Jing suddenly smiled, and then heard Yang lower his voice and said in his ear:
"Stop pretending, you are a newbie, right?"
Xu Le:?
Although he has very little experience in going out on missions, it is definitely not that he has never been out.
Therefore, Xu Le does not recognize the title Mengxin.
"Do you want to die?"
"Stop trying to show off, I've been in this business for more than 6 years, I can tell who's new at a glance.
Look at how excited and happy you were when you received the assignment, you look like a new person at first glance.
Stop pretending, your skin is too delicate and your beard is fake. If you are an ordinary person, you might be intimidated. However, if you are a master, you will be able to see your true nature at a glance."
What Bai Jing said was a bit pretentious.
Xu Le glanced at her:
"Master? You?"
"You don't think you can be Tianrui Lifeng's mission guide without some skills, do you? If you encounter some gangsters, you must have some ability to protect yourself."
While Bai Jing was talking, she put her things on the ground floor.
It seems like he really doesn't regard himself as an outsider.
It makes sense if you think about it carefully. Xu Lecai is considered an outsider here, while Bai Jing should be considered a local.
Xu Le had no intention of continuing the conversation and remained cold.
He didn't speak, but Bai Jing had no intention of stopping.
"Hey, are you from out of town? Lighthouse or Zion?"
Xu Le frowned slightly:
"Why can't it be the Red Moon Temple?"
"The people in the Red Moon Temple are not like you. If they want to investigate something, they will definitely make all kinds of investigations and preparations to make themselves look like veterans.
However, those people in the Red Moon Temple all have one problem that cannot be changed, and that is their arrogance.
Their arrogance oozes from their nostrils."
Xu Le very much agrees with Bai Jing's evaluation of the Red Moon Temple.
The people of the Red Moon Temple do have a kind of arrogance, as if they are naturally superior to others.
He also understands this sense of superiority. After all, the Red Moon Temple is the ultimate in martial arts in this world.
"That makes sense. The people in the Red Moon Temple are like this."
"Is this your first time going out on a mission?" Bai Jing seemed very talkative and always wanted to talk to Xu Le.
Xu Le didn't know if there was something wrong with his disguise. Is this kind of image with a big beard and a single-sided glasses also attractive to women?
He must be so handsome that even this level of disguise can't stop him!
"This is not my first mission. I have done it before."
Bai Jing pouted:
"It's not like you at all. You are a tender-skinned person, and you don't have any traces of mission or that oily feeling on your body.
A normal mercenary wouldn't be like you."
"What should a normal mercenary look like?" Xu Le was a little curious.
"Now, those people are like that, bragging every day about how many women they have slept with, how much wine they can drink in one meal, and how many great things they have done.
What he said is true. In fact, everyone understands it. Except for the sentence "I want to fuck", few things about men are true."
The corners of Xu Le's mouth twitched...
"You seem to be very experienced?"
"The main thing is to remind you that Tianrui Lifeng is very chaotic and dark. There are many good people, but there are even more bad people.
A newbie like you must be careful."
"Okay, thank you very much." Xu Le nodded.
For this kind of friendly reminder, even if he wanted to pretend to hide it, there was no reason to speak harshly.
But after he thanked him, he turned his head away again.
This will definitely not satisfy Bai Jing. She is full of interest in Xu Le. She feels that Xu Le should be a person with a story.
"Hey, how old are you this year?"
"35."
"Let's be real, I won't be blind."
"I'm really 35, I just look younger." Being stared at, Xu Le felt inexplicably guilty.
"Do you have 20?" Bai Jing asked suddenly.
"You fart, I am 22 yuan and 23 yuan this year."
"Oh, it turns out you are 22."
Xu Le was not provoked, but felt that he could not hide himself in front of Bai Jing, so there was no need to hide.
Being always forced to ask questions by others, Xu Le felt a little unhappy. He asked casually:
"What about you? You look quite young."
"I'm 22 tomorrow. After 12 o'clock, it will be my birthday!" Bai Jing seemed to be in a good mood.
However, her age shocked Xu Le.
"You said you have been doing this for more than 6 years? But you are only 22 tomorrow? You started working as a mercenary guide when you were 15 years old?"
"Why? Isn't it possible? Tianrui Lifeng has only gotten better in the past few years. It was so chaotic a few years ago. If you don't work hard, you will have nothing to eat.
With so many brothers and sisters, someone has to break through."
Bai Jing's face was filled with a confident smile.
Xu Le understands this smile, self-realization, responsibility, and commitment.
Many people say that assuming responsibility is painful. In fact, if you can be needed by others, it is really a very happy thing.
"Isn't it too dangerous to be a wild guide at the age of 15?"
"Many times people don't have a choice. Unlike you, you look pampered at first glance. You didn't suffer any hardships when you were a child, right?"
"Bragging about your past is not like the mercenaries you mentioned?"
"Uh..." Bai Jing was speechless at Xu Le's words.
"Tell me about the mission. Since you have 6 years of work experience, you should know a lot. Do you have any experience you can share?"
Seeing the seriousness of Xu Le's question, Bai Jing also restrained her previous joking expression.
"The tasks of mercenaries are actually very simple, and the tasks of development are even simpler. They are actually to deal with possible hidden dangers and threats.
To put it more clearly, just deal with all the weirdness in the developed area, and that’s it.”
"Don't you need to think about combat coordination? What should you do if you encounter a relatively powerful monster?"
Previous mission experience made Xu Le understand how important it is for a team to have reasonable personnel allocation and command when exploring in the wild.
If you encounter a powerful enemy, a reasonable combination can produce an effect of 1+1 greater than 2.
But if each fights alone, the group will be destroyed easily.
"You are talking about a team that has a tacit understanding. Nowadays, Tianrui Lifeng is mostly populated by savages, so it is impossible for them to cooperate like that.
If you really encounter a strong enemy, you can deal with it if you can. If you can't deal with it, you can only run away."
There was a look of nostalgia on Bai Jing's face, perhaps because her former friends and companions died during the mission.
Xu Le thought so.
"Then what should we do if there are differences in the team?"
"This is a normal thing, so I told you that it is best to have the ability to protect yourself when you go out."
Xu Le frowned again, meaning that he might encounter someone who would take action?
It's really confusing.
"I understand, thank you for clarifying my doubts."
"You're welcome. We will inspect each other on this mission. If you feel that I am not bad, you can follow me on the next development mission."
Bai Jing said and actually handed over a business card.
Xu Le took the business card, which had a brief introduction from Bai Jing and the job number of the Tianrui Lifeng Mercenary Guild.
However, this approach is a bit like some salesmen.
"Do you get a commission for being a guide?"
"Of course, if there is no commission, who will do this kind of work of licking blood? And this kind of thing is not something ordinary people can do.
My mission success rate is 63%, and I should be considered one of the top guides in the harvest area."
Mission success rate 63%?
In other words, there is nearly 40% mission failure rate...
According to the degree of danger in the wild, there is a high probability that half of the people will die if the mission fails...
This is ridiculous...
"Hehe, hehe, your success rate is really high."
"Absolutely."
After chatting for a while, Bai Jing was still in high spirits, and Xu Le also responded with mixed feelings.
He knew that Bai Jing was just talking and wanted to know about his situation and background, so Xu Le's answers were irrelevant.
Bai Jing, who had not gained much, gradually lost her patience.
"Tch, you didn't say anything and I told you everything. That's not fair."
"I didn't ask you to tell me either."
Seeing Xu Le's indifference, Bai Jing also frowned. The man in front of her didn't seem as easy to deal with as she had imagined.
"No, don't talk about knocking me down."
Returning to calm, the car slowly drove towards the wild. More than 3 hours later, they had arrived at a wilderness area.
The time also came to around 4pm.
There is still some time before the sun sets, but as Xu Le thought before, after arriving at the mission location, it is estimated that we will have to prepare for camping at night.
"The time chosen for the mission is really weird."
"The mission lasts for a long time, and it's not just one night. What's the difference between morning and night?"
While the two were talking, the car jolted violently, and Ding Ke, who was sleeping in Xu Le's arms, was shaken awake.
Boom!~
Meow!
Xu Le stuffed Ding Ke directly into his arms, stood up and looked outside.
The car has stopped.
The mercenary who was the driver turned to look at Bai Jing:
"Xiao Bai, there seems to be something down there."
Hearing the driver's reminder, Bai Jing frowned and immediately jumped out of the glassless window.
He also had a long knife in his hand.
Clang!
As soon as he landed on the ground, Bai Jing swung a sword and slashed under the car.
Xu Le, who was in the car, already knew what the strange thing was.
[Ground worm, deformed species, level 2, with a weird ancient sound. 】
It's just ordinary weirdness. It seems that it regards this bus as its prey.
"Hey, it seems like every time I go out in a car, something goes wrong. My destiny is in conflict with the car. Shouldn't I take a car in the future?"
Meow!~
Ding Ke nodded, and he tried his best to remain silent outside so as not to cause trouble.
When Xu Le slowly came down, the other mercenary team members had already got off the car and were on guard.
Compared with them, Xu Le seems to be a lot of amateur.
Bai Jing looked at the man repairing the car for a while, then turned to look at Xu Le:
"You are so slow and have no fighting qualities at all. If you encountered a real crisis, you would have died just now."
Looking at Bai Jing who spoke righteously, Xu Le nodded dully.
"Well-founded and convincing."
"That's right. As a mercenary, the most basic quality is to be ready for battle at any time. You must learn this well."
"I understand." Xu Le didn't refute, he was right.
"Xiao Bai, the wheel hub of the car is crooked. It will take a while to repair it. What should I say now?"
The mercenary driver looked at Bai Jing, who only thought briefly before making a judgment.
"Let's repair the car first. This area is close to wasteland. Apart from weeds and a lot of rocks, there is no obvious shelter.
This kind of environment has both advantages and disadvantages. If it is used as a camp and it is necessary to take turns to guard at night, then let’s do this first.”
Bai Jing's attitude was very clear. Even the old mercenaries had no objections. Naturally, Xu Le, a bystander, couldn't speak up.
Others have already begun to take a rest.
Xu Le walked to an herb he had never seen before and stretched out his hand.
Where no one can see it, the soul branch has wrapped around this plant.
"Is it poisonous? Toxic things are a good development direction."
Just when she thought this, Bai Jing suddenly shouted to Xu Le:
"Ding Ke, what are you doing? That plant is poisonous!"
