Chapter 354: Choose a Mercenary Mission
"We're here. This is the place for mercenary assessments. Come on, guys. My dear Sheep said, this time I can join your ranks of mercenaries and enjoy the same treatment as you. In your ancient Chinese language, I will give you a lot of guidance in the future. After all, I am also a member of the team. Oh, my dear teammates, don't be dissatisfied. After all, you don't speak English and need me, a loyal and reliable translator."
Jingshu couldn't help but think of how she got a few points in the English test. She answered the teacher that she didn't learn English because of patriotism... The fact shows that mastering a foreign language is still very important.
The setting that the Mercenary Association must be magnificent is really enduring. The Mercenary Association in the underground black market is an arena. In the center of the entire black market, a circular concave building built with huge stones covers the entire bottom floor.
"Look at this stunning place. It's the only place in the underground black market that connects the top nobles. Every day, the nobles watch the mercenaries duel in the arena directly from the top floor. Only the nobles have the right to bet on who will win and who will lose. I heard that this is the fun of the upper class.
However, we poor people can bet on the outcome of battle pets. There are lizards, tigers, venomous snakes, etc. The most powerful one right now is a crocodile. If you want to earn some black market coins, this is definitely the only quickest way. I think this Ah Huang is quite good. He can win the game and make a few hundred or thousands of black market coins and become rich.
Xiao Hei looked at Ah Huang, who was grinning at him, and said with twinkling eyes, "Hey guys, I'm not very optimistic about the parrot, the featherless chicken, and the toothpick snake that the others brought. You'd better leave them in the truck, otherwise they will easily be caught and eaten."
The parrot and the fat chicken were left in the truck. The toothpick snake in Xiao Hei's mouth was coiled on the snake demon's head, serving as a bulletproof helmet, while Ah Huang followed behind the monkey.
Jingshu narrowed her eyes and thought about the fighting pets that Xiao Hei mentioned. Perhaps without selling food and exchanging supplies, dueling pets is indeed the fastest way to get black market coins. It would be okay to let the fat chicken win a few games. Who knows, it might be the most ferocious chicken among the fighting cocks.
There were a lot of people in the hall, some holding signs asking for a team, asking for teammates with guns and bullets, etc.
"Hey, guys, 80% of the 'trainee mercenaries' on the black market are wimps, and only 20% are real 'mercenaries.' And more than half of these mercenaries are retired special forces soldiers from other countries. They all possess strong personal abilities, and there are even many vicious criminals. This is no joke, everyone must be careful.
Then, let's register as 'trainee mercenaries' first. A mercenary team can only have a maximum of six people. The price of registering a mercenary team is 100 black market coins. Damn vampires, a piece of black bread is only 2 black market coins."
Xiao Hei paid the money with a painful heart, collected the fingerprints of the group, and issued nameplates, 'internshipenary,' which means trainee mercenary.
"Hey, guys, our goal now is to become a true D-class mercenary team in the black market, then C-class, B-class, A-class, and S-class. Don't look at it, only true mercenaries are qualified to enter the arena to duel. From trainee mercenaries to mercenaries, we can only complete various tasks issued by the black market. If more than half of the mercenary team members die, we will be forcibly disbanded."
Tank asked, "What defined tasks do I need to complete to get promoted?"
After all, everyone doesn't have much time. This time, their team's mission goal is clear: to be promoted to S-level mercenary within ten days.
“Hey, it’s very simple. The entire team, from trainee mercenary to mercenary, has to complete a task worth 1,000 black market coins. Then they can apply for promotion. The rest is much easier.
To start at D-rank, you only need to complete missions that earn you 3,000 Black Market Coins. Of course, winning in the Arena also counts towards the mission. To reach B-rank, you need to accumulate 8,000 Black Market Coins. To reach A-rank from B, you need to accumulate 20,000 Black Market Coins, and to reach S-rank, you need to accumulate 50,000 Black Market Coins. The higher the mercenary team's rank, the greater the benefits and the higher the rewards for the missions you can take on. I heard that S-rank can even lead to a life on the top floor.
In other words, to reach S, you need to earn 50,000 black market coins cumulatively to play a far
The value is over 50,000. Can they complete this task in ten days?
Wait, Jingshu seemed to understand why Yang Yang called him Xiao Hei. It was not because he was black, but because he always said "Hey".
"What are the tasks?" Jingshu asked curiously. She had read many mercenary novels in her previous life. In her knowledge, junior mercenaries were just doing odd jobs, such as looking for some rare items, finding what merchants were looking for, or acting as bodyguards, etc.
Xiao Hei began to translate: "Explore the Sacramento mine and avoid patrols. Jian, the entire team will be rewarded 1,000 black market coins."
"Assassinate government remnants, a body with identification, 50 black market coins."
"Follow the mercenary group to Mexico to rob local specialties (you know what I mean). Each trip will cost 1,000 black market coins per team."
"Eliminate the armed forces at a small diamond mine in Sacramento and seize back the mining rights for 1,000 black market coins."
"Guard the fish pond, 10 black market coins per person per day, daily payment, void upon death."
...
There are many missions, all miscellaneous, but they all have one characteristic, that is, they are closely related to killing, assassination, or being killed and insisting on guarding. Most of them require fighting for life. No wonder the black market does not care about outsiders at all, because the danger of these missions is simply to send everyone to death.
The problem is that trainee mercenaries are completely different from mercenaries. In order to become a mercenary, one must complete a task worth 1,000 black market coins. Otherwise, one will be a useless person for the rest of his life, accepting sporadic tasks.
Even retired special forces soldiers cannot guarantee 100% completion, not to mention that many of them are still ordinary people who just have guns and weapons on them, and their combat effectiveness is still rubbish.
Jingshu understood what Xiaohei meant when she said why among so many mercenaries, only 20% could complete their missions and become real mercenaries.
Tank pointed to the mission and said, "Let's go destroy the armed forces at the small diamond mine. This should be the fastest."
Xiao Hei conveyed his message and turned away, saying helplessly, "Hey guys, this mission has already been accepted today. If no one returns by 3 pm, it will be considered a failure and we can only accept it then. However, there is a mercenary team that has already made a reservation. Can we cooperate with them and split the reward in half, or can we challenge this mercenary team directly? The winning team will get the right to go on the next mission."
The snake demon rolled his eyes and said, "How can I get promoted to a mercenary if the reward is split in half? Just challenge them directly."
Jingshu was actually quite curious about how the two sides would fight in such a situation to show their strength, but she never expected...
