Chapter 371: Tianhe Mercenary Group
"Kaikai, those guys were so shameless. They came in with the look of wanting to have a quarrel, yet they had the nerve to stay for dinner." Jiang Jie, who was cleaning the room, watched Director Qian and the other two say goodbye and leave. He muttered to Xia Kai, who was cleaning the table beside them.
"Ajie, haven't you figured it out? He's trying to trick us into thinking something. Of course, he's probably also greedy for our food." Xia Kai said in a serious tone at first, and then in a mischievous tone.
"Plain words? Are there any?" Jiang Jie didn't have the patience to listen to Director Qian. He just felt that the man was very nagging and kept talking like a chatterbox.
"He seems to want to know whether Sister Rong will stay here to develop. He is also curious about the relationship between Sister Rong and Captain Ning. He also knows what we are selling at our stall. It seems that he has already figured out our situation before coming here." Xia Kai said.
"What do you think he wants to do by asking these questions? Does it have anything to do with him?" Jiang Jie said, rolling his eyes.
"Who knows? I think this person is a bit cunning." Xia Kai nodded and said thoughtfully.
"Come to think of it, he seemed to want Sister Rong to give him a gift box just now. He's really asking for too much." Jiang Jie said this angrily.
"I noticed this too. It's a pity that Sister Rong didn't respond to him at all. His helpless look just now was a bit funny. Haha." Xia Kai laughed.
"Hey, Kaikai, do we really have to move to another place? I feel like I'm quite accustomed to living here. It was dirty everywhere at the beginning, and we cleaned it up bit by bit." Jiang Jie said reluctantly as he looked at the house.
This yard is no longer what it was when they first arrived here. Even the underground refining room, gym, and snow melting pool that were intended to be used to provide water were all dug out and cleaned up by them bit by bit. They even dug two secret passages underground for emergency escape. It was because this place was remote and the population density around it was low, otherwise their large-scale underground construction would have been discovered long ago.
"Sister Rong said that we can live wherever we want, as we have rooms on both sides. She chose the new residence in order to have some peace and quiet. Many people know about our place now, and it's too noisy with all the people coming and going." Xia Kai said.
"That's true. Sister Rong likes quietness, and she can't be disturbed especially when she is making talismans and refining pills." Jiang Jie nodded.
"Sister Rong, Feng Xingjia just heard Director Qian and the others say they would offer 10,000 points to buy this thing. Do you think he would have any ideas?" Wang Lin and Rong Xianxian were washing dishes, and Wang Lin said hesitantly.
"Feng Xingjia is sensible and a good person. There were outsiders here just now, so I couldn't ask him what he thought. I'll ask him when they come to get their things tomorrow." Rong Xianxian said casually.
"Ask? How can you ask directly about this kind of thing? Even if he has some thoughts in his mind, he won't admit it." Wang Lin said disapprovingly.
"After hearing that this thing is worth so much money, isn't it normal to have some thoughts? I'm asking him what compensation he wants? Weapons, food or money?" The value of the Water-Repellent Beads is immeasurable, and Rong Xianxian originally planned to give Feng Xingjia some extra benefits.
“Sister Rong, you’ve already given them a lot of benefits. You’re so easy to talk to. Don’t whet their appetite any further.” Wang Lin said with some disapproval.
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. By the way, Ajie has already advanced to the peak of Chongmai Realm. When can you advance?" Rong Xianxian stared at Wang Lin and asked seriously.
"I, I don't know either!" Wang Lin replied hesitantly.
Sister Rong didn’t ask much about their cultivation before, and she doesn’t know what’s going on recently?
Rong Xianxian sighed secretly in her heart. Among the group of people who came out of Chongzhou with her, Cui Lie's cultivation aptitude and actual combat power were far ahead of the others. Xia Kai had the worst aptitude. Rong Xianxian originally thought that Wang Lin, Jiang Jie, and Wang Qirui all had good aptitude and were hardworking, and their strengths were comparable. Especially since Wang Lin and Jiang Jie both had spiritual weapons in their hands, and at the same level, their combat power would definitely be top-notch.
However, after she started recruiting talents, she found that she seemed to have been too indulgent towards them in their cultivation. Feng Xingjia had just broken through the Chongmai realm, but he could actually fight to a draw with Wang Lin who was holding the Ice Blade.
In fact, if you think about it carefully, it is understandable. As the main force of a team, Feng Xingjia is a veteran. The weapons he uses are ordinary, and he does not have any protective amulets to resist damage. Every time he goes into battle, he is walking on thin ice and is nervous. He has been injured countless times before he developed keen combat instincts and combat skills. On the other hand, Wang Lin and others, first of all, the quality of their weapons is many times better than others. In addition, each of them wears a Vajra Amulet with defensive functions, and Rong Xianxian and Cui Lie are there to support them. In this case, they have at most fought against monsters of equal strength, unlike Feng Xingjia and others, who have gone through many life-and-death moments.
Feng Xingjia and his companions survived because they had high potential or were lucky. Many of their teammates or partners who fought with them had already been killed by monsters, leaving no trace behind.
They are all survivors who have passed through the Black Forest. Their combat qualities are definitely better than those of Wang Lin and others who are escorted by Rong Xianxian.
However, Rong Xianxian was definitely worried about letting Wang Lin and the others face the test of life and death.
Not to mention that Rong Xianxian was worrying about how to improve the combat effectiveness of Wang Lin and others. Three or four hundred kilometers away from the Jindu Safety Zone, Ning Qingyun was looking at the corpses of monsters on the ground and was extremely anxious.
Before Ning Qingyun came out, Huo Ye and others had already reported to the Beijing Security Zone to establish the Tianhe Mercenary Group. Of course, what they reported was just an ordinary civilian mercenary group, different from the official mercenary group like Ning Qingtian and others that was employed and supported by the government.
The Beijing Security Zone also has support policies for ordinary civilian mercenary groups. Ordinary civilian mercenary groups can be assessed based on the number of members, the frequency of going out of the city, the amount of taxes paid, and the acceptance of official missions. The higher the level, the less tax they pay. Even when ordinary civilian mercenary groups are promoted to the highest level, they can have their own bases like official mercenary groups.
After Huo Ye and Chai Ming established the Tianhe Mercenary Group, most of the time they went out of the city to hunt in order to maintain team expenses, feed their teammates and their families, and store some resources. They did not take on official missions in order to upgrade their levels. Relying on the high frequency of going out of the city and paying taxes, the Tianhe Mercenary Group has just been promoted to two stars in such a long time.
