Chapter 355 Mission Difficulty Increased
I never expected that the other side was so cowardly. The black man who just let a wolf rush up and shouted "Go and bite them!" immediately retreated in fear after seeing the appearance of Jingshu and her group and the armed forces on their bodies, and was still muttering something in his mouth.
After a while, Xiao Hei told Jing Shu and the others, "The wimps on that six-man team gave up, saying Asians are not to be messed with and are demons who wield evil sorcery. They were also frightened by my fierce appearance."
Everyone listened to Xiao Hei's nonsense with expressionless faces.
In this way, Jingshu's team successfully made an appointment and can come to take up the task at three o'clock in the afternoon. If this task is successful, the black market will arrange a task with similar difficulty and reward.
"Hey, let's have some lunch and then rest in the truck for a while, it's almost time. Now I'll take you to visit the high-end restaurants in the black market. Don't be polite, I'll treat you to this meal. The food in the black market is the safest, and they all have licenses. Although there are some unknown creatures mixed in it, at least they are not poisoned." Xiao Hei kept saying "letsgo, go, go" to urge everyone.
The restaurant in the black market is more like an old-fashioned open-air vegetable market before the apocalypse. Just like a night market, there are long rows of stalls, corresponding to thousands of tables and chairs. At this moment, the restaurant is full of all kinds of people, including fierce mercenaries, weak-looking young people, and scavengers. Because there is an echo in the cave, it is very noisy.
The fast food model is still used, where you have to queue up to buy your meal and then find a seat to sit down. However, there are no seats available at the moment, and most people are squatting on the side eating their meals, which they cannot see clearly what they are made of.
"Hey, you want some of the specialty, high-protein fried maggots? It's a little fishy, though, because they're not marinated with the little seasoning. Or maybe some high-end white radish with salt? Look, there's also delicious and nutritious insect juice. Or maybe you want some freshly squeezed human blood? Oh, and there's also lettuce sandwiches over there, but they're 8 black market coins each."
According to Xiao Hei's introduction, the cheapest and most popular food is the cheapest potatoes in the United States mixed with insects and unknown meat to make a mass of 'mud-like food'. A portion only costs 1 black market coin, which is very filling.
There is also black bread made from black flour mixed with wheat bran, which is difficult to swallow.
A slightly more expensive option is the multi-grain burger, which is mixed with unknown meat and costs 3 black market coins.
Normally, 5-10 black market coins can buy good food, and 30 black market coins can buy a steak dinner. This really proves why so many people want to be mercenaries. After a mission, they can live comfortably for seven or eight days. If they drink some beer, then having fun is not a problem at all. It's unlike China, which has no high-risk, high-return mercenary system.
Freshly squeezed human blood juice with alcohol costs 5 black market coins and is very popular. It is much cheaper than beer. In the black market, the most expensive thing is not food, but fruit. It is a luxury for the rich, and one piece costs at least dozens of black market coins. Food is cheaper than Jingshu thought. At least if you find a less dangerous job in the black market, you can support your family with 10 black market coins a day.
Moreover, the supplies here are indeed much richer than those in China, and there are many necessary daily necessities. These are all sequelae of the oversupply of products.
"Hey, you're welcome, but you can only choose those that are less than 10 black market coins, otherwise I don't have that much money."
So the snake demon asked for two roasted mice for 10 black market coins, Lingling asked for a handful of rice for 10 black market coins, Monkey asked for three multi-grain burgers from Tank, and Tank asked for a bun with lettuce and an extra leaf of lettuce for 10 black market coins. Xiao Hei was almost in tears, especially when he saw the snake demon give the roasted mice to Ai Snake, Lingling gave the rice to the parrot, Monkey gave the burger to Ah Huang, and Tank devoured the whole burger in one bite...
"Hey my dear Miss Jing, I know you are the best. Unlike them, you won't rip me off..." Before she finished speaking, Jingshu picked up two eggs and said, "They all want them but I don't. It seems not good. Then I'll take these eggs."
Xiao Hei: ...
This is the initiation ceremony for everyone to acknowledge Xiao Hei as a member of Jingshu's team.
In the end, they didn't get to eat the meal in the restaurant. Instead, Xiao Hei ate a piece of bread worth 3 black market coins. Then the Mercenary Association sent a notification that something had gone wrong with the mission.
The team just now was looking at Jingshu's team with gloating eyes and whispering something. Unfortunately, Jingshu could hear it but just couldn't understand what they were saying.
In the hall, a white man with only one arm left was chattering incoherently with the black market personnel. Xiao Hei was translating. "Oh damn, the mission difficulty has increased again. There are two armed forces at the diamond mine, and there are also many strange man-eating creatures. They are very powerful. This man's team said that they were completely wiped out and demanded the disbanding of the mercenary team. They also demanded a reward for the information he provided."
"The staff gave him 200 black market coins as a reward and upgraded the mission to a D-level mercenary with a reward of 5,000 black market coins. Damn, we might not be able to take this mission anymore."
The snake demon smiled and said, "Just tell her that we've already booked the mission, and she'll let us try again. The reward is only 3,000 black market coins. If we fail, she can just post it again at 3 pm tomorrow."
"Hey, man, you're really smart. She agreed. I wish you all the best. I'm waiting for your good news here."
Jingshu and her group: "??? You're not going?"
"I, with my low martial arts skills, can't go to a dangerous place."
"If you don't go, we won't be able to find the way."
"If you absolutely refuse to go, we'll have no choice but to kick you out of the team. You won't benefit from the mission once it's completed."
Xiao Hei hesitated for a long time before saying, "Hey buddy, how about I take charge of showing the way?"
The team that had just given in looked at Jingshu and her group with strange eyes as they left the underground black market.
....
The truck was speeding, and Jingshu's stomach was growling with hunger. She had to chew a few pieces of chocolate and eat some beef jerky from time to time. Finally, they reached the mountains surrounding the diamond mine. The truck could not drive in, so the whole team had a supply replenishment and ate some of the food they brought with them. After they were all armed, they set off on foot towards their destination.
"Go ahead and find out how many people are on the other side, how strong they are, and whether there are any traps." Lingling released the parrot, and the snake demon released his little snake to investigate.
The monkey's Ah Huang was constantly exploring the surroundings. As a scout, the monkey had already gone to explore the surrounding environment.
Jingshu took one look at the fat chicken who refused to get off the truck and she wanted to kick him. The fat chicken looked down on the mountain with his eyes, as if to say, if you have anything to do, go ahead and do it. It's too dirty down there and it will dirty my crown and new clothes.
