"Brother Xiao, you're really amazing." The new recruit had only been in the regiment for a short time, yet he had already earned the most recognition in the regiment and received such a mission opportunity.
Naturally, she was filled with admiration for Xiao, and quietly gave him a thumbs up, whispering to Luo Chen.
Luo Chen turned his head and gave the new recruit a wink.
"What gang were you involved with before?" Luo Chen asked casually as he drove, ignoring the fight between the two "Kings of the Forest" behind him.
"Huh? What kind of underworld?" The new recruit was a little confused and couldn't understand Luo Chen's question that seemed to transcend the world.
"Oh, what did you do before? Why did you decide to become a mercenary?" Luo Chen quite liked this new recruit, mainly because he had some special abilities.
I had previously learned from my friend that this kid has a knack for surprise attacks.
Hmm... In a sense, the rate of fire for each shot is comparable to Luo Chen's.
"Hey, I lost my parents when I was young. Later, I wandered around trying to make a living. Then I joined some small gangs. A while ago, I heard that Hope Town was recruiting patrol teams, so I came here. A few days ago, I heard about Brother Xiao's legendary story, so I joined." The new recruit turned to look at Luo Chen, his eyes full of envy and admiration.
If I used to think that outsiders were exaggerating, now seeing the two beautiful girls behind me fighting over Luo Chen, I feel that I made the right choice in coming here.
One good thing about Luo Chen is that he enjoys listening to flattery.
In his mind, this was flattery, which he fully understood.
"What's your name? If anyone bullies you in the group, just tell me, and I'll back you up." Luo Chen acted like a big brother, having not experienced his former power since arriving in this world.
However, after these days, Luo Chen also felt that he had been living a somewhat stifled life before. After all, he was a major villain, and a villain should naturally act like a villain.
Look at this now, this is what villains should be doing.
"Wang Er".
Luo Chen glared at it; the name sounded like that of an ordinary passerby.
Hmm... If you hang out with Brother Xiao, you'll be able to find a girlfriend as an ordinary passerby sooner.
"Ugh, this damn weather is unbearable, it's so hot." Luo Chen grumbled. That's just how the mercenary world is; the weather is just too hot.
This damn system, how was it even set up?
If Luo Chen hadn't been at the Grandmaster level, he might have gotten heatstroke without even realizing it.
However, one thing that puzzled Luo Chen was that these NPCs didn't seem to feel hot.
Of course, it's also possible that they were already accustomed to it, since it's all part of the system settings.
Luo Chen, on the other hand, seemed somewhat out of place.
"Hey waiter, check how long it is until the next stop. You haven't even had breakfast yet, rest a bit before you go."
Wang Er didn't object much to the new nickname. He then opened the map, glanced at it, and said, "Fifteen kilometers to go, we'll be there."
Luo Chen nodded.
It's quite a journey from Hope Town to Northern Xinjiang. Driving along the main road would take at least two days, and that's only if the weather is good, since the road conditions get worse the further north you go.
I don't know why Mu Shanhai and the others insisted on going to the Northern Frontier.
However, after spending some time with Mu Shanhai, Luo Chen gained some new insights into him. Although Mu Shanhai claimed that he was there to inherit the family business, Luo Chen found that his claim to be somewhat absurd.
After all, whoever inherits the family business would have to pay a hefty price to hire a master-level mercenary to assassinate you.
Of course, it cannot be ruled out that Mu Shanhai and his group are some important figures.
"Sigh, what's going on with Mu Shiyu? Why is she in the first level and the second level? Is she a permanent NPC in this world?"
Since there was nothing else to do while driving, Luo Chen's thoughts drifted.
"Wow, they're so beautiful! Look at these flowers, they're so pretty!" Jiang Xian'er exclaimed joyfully, gazing at the flowers lining the road.
For a girl who has never traveled far from home since childhood, even the smallest flower or blade of grass can stir her heart.
Upon hearing this, Luo Chen looked out of the car and saw that the roadside was covered with a kind of purple flower, and he could smell the fragrance of the flower as he walked through it.
“Brother Xiao, this is a six-leaf bone.” Wang Er, who was the contrast to Jiang Xian’er, spoke up. He had seen a lot since he was a child.
"Six-leaf bone?" Luo Chen asked in confusion. This was the first time he had ever heard of such a thing since arriving in this world.
"It is said that this plant has one stem and six leaves, and it has the effect of dispelling cold and relieving heat. After drinking it, you will feel completely cool," Wang Er explained.
"Stop the car, stop the car! I want to get out! I want to get out!" Upon hearing this, Jiang Xian'er started making a fuss, wanting to go down and take a look.
"We'll be at the rest stop soon," Luo Chen said, his meaning quite clear: he wasn't going to stop.
Jiang Xian'er panicked and rushed over from the back row, rubbing against Luo Chen's arm and pleading, "I want it, I want it."
The effect is remarkable; that man will refuse those two words.
"Wow, so beautiful." Jiang Xian'er walked closer to the flower bushes, bent down to smell the fragrance, and said contentedly.
Looking at it, Luo Chen really wanted to say, "Girl, your Fairy Peak is almost crushing it."
"It looks pretty good." Mu Shiyu appeared next to Luo Chen and said out of the blue.
Luo Chen looked at the aloof woman and recalled how she had been arguing with Jiang Xian'er in the car earlier.
This sense of contrast is the ultimate goal for a man.
"I just don't know why we're here?"
Luo Chen raised an eyebrow: "You know him too?"
“Of course.” Mu Shiyu blinked slightly, appearing somewhat arrogant, and then said calmly, “Such words generally only grow in the interior of the Northern Frontier and should not appear here. But it’s not surprising, since this place is close to the Northern Frontier.”
"Does this have any effect?" Luo Chen hummed in agreement.
"Didn't Wang Er just say that it can dispel cold and ward off heat? It's also quite good for making soup. Generally speaking, this six-leaf bone is a medicinal ingredient."
Listening to Mu Shiyu's eloquent speech, and then looking at the woman whose six-leaf bone was almost crushed by Xian'er Peak.
Big breasts and no brains—the ancients were right!
"La la la." Jiang Xian'er, with her fairy peaks tucked in—no, with more than ten bundles of six-leaf bones in her arms, happily got into the car.
She would occasionally lower her head to smell it, her eyes slightly unfocused.
He then glanced at Mu Shiyu and snorted.
Luo Chen shook his head, ignored him, and then got into his car and left.
The group hadn't gone far when several jeeps arrived in quick succession.
"Boss, they've picked them."
"I understand. It seems the people ahead have already made their move, so we don't need to rush."
"I thought these people were so smart, but it turns out they're all idiots. I really don't know how they managed to kill them..."
"The information from above said that there was a grandmaster inside. Perhaps that's why he was able to get through all this time. He must have some skill."
