Chapter 073: Group of Five
As soon as Chen Ning and Gu Xiaocheng finished eating, Gu Yutong had already returned, and she told Chen Ning that she had notified several of her companions to gather at the old place and let Chen Ning and Gu Xiaocheng go with her.
Chen Ning followed Gu Yutong's sisters out of the restaurant, and finally came to a dilapidated courtyard, which was a bit like a courtyard house, but it was already very dilapidated, and it was all made of wood.
There was a plaque at the entrance that read vaguely: Blackstone City Orphanage.
Sister Gu Yutong walked in with Chen Ning, and a group of children in ragged clothes rushed out of the room on the left, these children were big and small, and they all shouted excitedly at their sister when they saw Gu Yutong.
Gu Yutong told the children that she had something to do, so let the children play with Gu Xiaocheng on their own and not disturb her.
Gu Xiaocheng was a little unconvinced, but she still went to play.
Gu Yutong took Chen Ning into the living room of the wing room on the left, just let Chen Ning sit down, poured him a glass of water, and then two people came in.
One is an uncle in his forties, who looks gentle and simple, and the other is a man in his thirties, with a dark complexion and swelling muscles, Gu Yutong showed a faint smile when he saw the two: "Sun Kun, Niu Feng, you two are here, let me introduce you, this is Chen Ning." ”
It turned out that these two people were one of Gu Yutong's companions, the older one was called Sun Kun, who looked gentle, but he was also a four-star hunter, with the strength of a fourth-level general, and he was experienced and had the demeanor of a team leader.
The other one is called Niu Feng, a three-star hunter, a third-level soldier.
Sun Kun and Niu Feng knew each other with Chen Ning, and Sun Kun shook hands with Chen Ning with a faint smile on his face: "Hehe, Yutong's eyesight is not bad, I believe in her, welcome you to join us on this mission." ”
Niu Feng glanced at the standard saber on Chen Ning's waist, and said in a low voice: "My father encountered robbers on the road back then, and he was rescued by imperial soldiers, so I have always admired and respected imperial soldiers. ”
Chen Ning smiled and said, "Then I must praise that warrior for his heroic deeds and be proud of my identity." ”
A few people were talking and laughing, and suddenly heard bursts of cheers from the children outside, Gu Yutong and Chen Ning glanced at each other, everyone didn't know what was going on, and a few people hurriedly came out of the living room to see what was going on?
I saw a handsome man in white clothes, holding a bag of candy in his hand, and he kept throwing candy at the children in the orphanage......
When Gu Yutong saw the handsome man's behavior, he frowned slightly, but he didn't say anything, but greeted Sun Kun and Niu Feng, greeted him, and said, "Wang Peng!"
Chen Ning walked to Gu Xiaocheng, who was standing on the side coldly holding his arms and did not participate in the snatching of the candy on the ground, and said in a low voice: "It turns out that this guy is the Wang Peng you said before, who likes your sister." ”
Gu Xiaocheng made a small face: "Yes, now you finally know why I hate him, right?"
Of course, Chen Ning could see that although this Wang Peng was brightly dressed, the same age as Gu Yutong, and he was relatively handsome, but there was a faint hint of arrogance between his eyebrows, and his original intention of giving candy to the orphans was of course good, but he threw the candy on the ground for the orphans to pick up, which made it seem that his quality was not very good. It is not even difficult to guess that this Wang Peng has no kindness to the orphans at all, he just deliberately treats the orphans well in order to gain Gu Yutong's favor.
At this time, Gu Yutong had already finished greeting Wang Peng, she took Wang Peng over and introduced him to Chen Ning: "Chen Ning, this is Wang Peng, a four-star hunter, a fourth-level general, a good player in our team...... Wang Peng, this is the Chen Ning I am talking about. ”
Chen Ning had already shaken hands with Sun Kun and Niu Feng just now, so when Gu Yutong introduced Wang Peng to him, he took the initiative to stretch out his right hand towards Wang Peng: "Hello!"
Wang Peng looked down at Chen Ning's outstretched right hand, glanced at Chen Ning's upright figure and the saber on Chen Ning's waist, did not shake hands with Chen Ning, in addition to arrogance, there was a touch of contempt in his eyes, and said sarcastically: "I smell a strong smell from you, it is the smell of dog legs!"
Bounty hunters and imperial soldiers, one fights for money, and the other fights for faith, so the soldiers look down on hunters, and the same hunters don't look down on soldiers, so as soon as Wang Peng opened his mouth, he said that Chen Ning was the dogleg of the empire.
As soon as Wang Peng's words came out, Niu Feng was silent, Sun Kun frowned slightly, and Gu Yutong finally showed a little annoyance: "Wang Peng!"
Wang Peng turned his head to Gu Yutong and said: "Yutong, even if this guy wants to participate in the mission of our Colorful Lake, it is just a temporary teammate, and he will be scattered after completing the task, there is no need to know and make friends, I have no objection to his joining, but before he joins, I want to ask if his strength is okay?"
Gu Yutong: "Chen Ning is a third-level soldier, I have confirmed it." ”
Wang Peng pouted: "Cut, it turned out to be a soldier, I thought it was a general." ”
Wang Peng's words, Chen Ning didn't think so, after all, he is the strength of a double third-level soldier, and the fourth-level generals are not his opponents, Wang Peng looks down on him, and he has no need or time and energy to prove anything to him.
Chen Ning didn't care, but Niu Feng next to him had a faint look of annoyance in his eyes, because he was also a third-level soldier, and it was obvious that Wang Peng's words had offended him as well.
Of course, Niu Feng's strength is not as good as Wang Peng, others are arrogant, but he has arrogant capital, so Niu Feng also dares to be angry.
Gu Yutong was also a little embarrassed, she coughed, and changed the topic and said: "Since everyone agrees to Chen Ning's joining, then we will find a five-person team to be formed, I have already reported to the Hunters' Guild in the morning to accept this task, of course, there are other hunters who have reported and accepted this task, whoever can finally find and rescue the rich man's wife Zhao Feifei, then whoever can get a bounty of three thousand gold coins." ”
Hearing the three thousand gold coins, even Wang Peng, who had always looked very arrogant, couldn't help but show a hot light in his eyes, after all, this is not a small amount for anyone.
Gu Yutong paused and continued: "Saving people is like fighting fire, Zhao Feifei and her bodyguards and servants are on the way to Qicai Lake, and they have been missing for almost two days, and if the time is delayed for an hour, there will be little hope of finding her rescued, so I decided that we should set off immediately and go to Qicai Lake." ”
Chen Ning and Wang Peng didn't have any opinions, so everyone immediately began to pack their bags and weapons, and prepared to set off an hour later.
Chen Ning and the other elite fighters came out of the base this time, all of them were not equipped with thermal weapons, all of them were daggers, and Chen Ning had an extra saber.
The reason why the butcher didn't equip everyone with hot weapons was to experience everyone's basic fighting skills, but Chen Ning went to Qicai Lake to save people, not to train, so he wanted to get two firearms, so that he could improve his strength even more and ensure that the mission was easier to succeed.
Gu Yutong and they all have a pistol, but they can't do anything about Chen Ning's needs, Gu Yutong told Chen Ning: "There are many places in Black Rock City where guns are sold, but the price is very expensive, especially the guns whose quality meets the military standards are even more expensive. For us ordinary hunters, pistols are just a precautionary necessity, because bullets are also expensive, so it is generally not a special case, we all choose to fight with knives. ”
Chen Ning and Gu Yutong agreed that they would leave in half an hour, and he would find a way to get a gun.
Chen Ning came out of the orphanage, but he didn't expect Gu Xiaocheng, the little girl, to secretly follow him out.
Chen Ning couldn't cry or laugh: "Why are you following me?"
Gu Xiaocheng: "Because I don't want to see that Wang Peng, so I came out to breathe, and by the way, let's see how you get a gun, should you go to the pit to be abducted, that's what I'm best at." ”
Chen Ning said angrily: "In the future, you will do less such things, be careful of being caught and break your legs, and when you grow up, you will be a beauty with crutches." ”
Gu Xiaocheng glared at Chen Ning angrily, but found that Chen Ning continued to walk forward without caring at all, she hurriedly said, "Hey, wait for me." ”
Chen Ning came to the largest weapons store in Black Rock City, then walked in and said to the shopkeeper: "I want a standard firearm, but I don't have the money, use this mortgage first, you can see what kind of weapon you can mortgage it?"
Chen Ning said, took out his imperial soldier status nameplate and put it on the table.
