Chapter 609 - 609 Mission (1)
609 Mission (1)
“Sigh, have you heard? Something big has happened in the island area!”
On the morning of the third match day.
As usual, many mercenaries had already sat down in advance in the Beast Tavern to watch today’s compet.i.tion.
However, the topic on the hot contestants who had occupied everyone’s conversations two days ago had “lost favor” this morning.
In its place was news from the island area thousands of kilometers away.
As soon as w.a.n.g Zhen sat down with Zhou Wenjie and Iron Axe, he heard the people next door discussing enthusiastically.
“Why haven’t I heard of it?”
“My second uncle opened a small hotel by the s.p.a.ce Gate Plaza. He said that a few of them ran back from the island area in the wee hours of the morning.”
“It’s just that they’re poor and live in places with fewer people. They don’t seem to have been affected too much. I heard that they almost died in a red light district…”
“d.a.m.n, is it that serious?”
“Speaking of which, is it really because of that black-quality beast?”
“I think so. I think the photos taken by the people who escaped are the same as ours.”
“Woah, that kid really knows how to run!”
“What’s wrong with that? Isn’t it just a matter of minutes to walk through the spatial door?”
Hearing these sobbing mercenaries, w.a.n.g Zhen and the other two lost interest after listening for a while.
Although black-quality beasts sounded impressive and awesome, they were not the ones who got it.
Therefore, the three of them quickly focused their attention on the door.
After waiting for about ten minutes, a middle-aged man with a messy beard and a brown round hat walked into the tavern.
When Iron Axe saw who it was, he immediately stood up and brought him to their table.
“Hahaha, Commander w.a.n.g, long time no see ~”
As soon as the person arrived, he held w.a.n.g Zhen’s hand and shook it.
w.a.n.g Zhen felt the slippery and greasy feeling in the other party’s hand and resisted the urge to punch him in the face. He shook it twice and hurriedly let go.
“Shop Owner Li, let’s get down to business ~”
“Hehehe, there’s no hurry…”
Boss Li looked at w.a.n.g Zhen and chuckled. Then, he took out half a roasted chicken from his pocket and tore it apart to eat as if no one was around.
“I didn’t even finish breakfast. Please forgive me ~”
w.a.n.g Zhen and the other two looked at each other and could only wait helplessly.
After all, the mission they were going to accept this time was this sloppy man in front of them as a broker. Without him, there was really no way.
Thinking of the high commission, the three of them endured it.
Ten Level 5 crystal cores meant a list price of 100 million.
After finishing this mission, they could slowly increase the strength of their beasts in the beast world for a long time in the future. Then, they could just find Concentration Fruits.
They did not have to worry about money at all ~
However, w.a.n.g Zhen still took note.
Someone in the tavern had long said that previously, someone had specially used a high bounty to seduce those mercenaries. Then, they… Ah no, they had killed them and directly s.n.a.t.c.hed their beasts.
If it weren’t for the fact that Boss Li was considered an experienced broker in Jiangzhou City, coupled with the fact that w.a.n.g Zhen and the others were indeed coveting this commission, they might not have accepted it.
“Burp ~”
After finishing half of the roasted chicken, Boss Li casually took a large beer gla.s.s and drank it happily. Then, he looked at w.a.n.g Zhen and the others.
“Commander w.a.n.g, I won’t beat around the bush ~”
“I don’t want you to be annoyed. Hahaha!”
“It’s like this. There’s a situation in Qingquan City next door. Now, the officials need some powerful people to break into a building.”
“That’s why they found me.”
“I heard that other than me this time, they also contacted people from Red Stone City and Lin’an City.
“Therefore, we have to settle it as soon as possible. Otherwise, won’t the benefits be taken away by their people?”
Hearing Li Kui’s words, w.a.n.g Zhen subconsciously frowned.
“Wait…”
“The officials of Qingquan City, are you sure?”
“Where are their own people?”
“The population of Qingquan City is about the same as that of Jiangzhou City. There’s no reason for them to come here to look for someone, right?”
“Uh… Let me finish…”
Li Kui gestured for w.a.n.g Zhen to calm down first.
“It’s said that according to the people who contacted me, the place they’re going to this time is a little strange…”
“It seems to be a very powerful spiritual-type beast.”
“Many of their local experts have been there, but without exception, they all returned in failure.”
“I think they even had nightmares for a long time after returning…”
“So now, they can only recruit people from other cities.”
After hearing Li Kui’s explanation, w.a.n.g Zhen’s frown still did not relax.
“Then why can we solve the problem by going over?”
Li Kui shrugged.
“They specially got a batch of new equipment from the Truth Corporation. It’s said that it can effectively resist mental attacks.”
“However, because many powerful figures have already entered and been attacked, the monster seems to have a mark. This equipment is useless against those who have entered. It can’t be defended at all.”
“Only those who go in for the first time can barely withstand it.”
“Therefore, Qingquan can only look for external help like this…”
This time, w.a.n.g Zhen did not ask any more questions. Instead, he quietly discussed with Zhou Wenjie and Iron Axe.
“How so? Any ideas?”
“Logically speaking, this mission seems reliable at the moment. After all, the location is in Qingquan City. It’s not a trap.”
