Chapter 5: Appointing the Captain
Everyone was about to go to the big exchange to buy the usual supplies for the mission. So they came to Chaoyang Peak together.
Everyone is scattered, so the chance of meeting Chu Xin will be higher.
It is not easy to find someone in a big exchange, but fortunately, Huang Xiaodou knows Chu Xin very well, and he found someone after finding two weapon shops.
This weapon shop is very famous in Qingshanmen, and it is the place where some of the works of the masters of the Refining Weapon Peak flow.
On the wall opposite the door of the shop is the treasure of the town: a long sword with magnificent colors.
The sword is nameless, the sword shape is conservative, if you don't hold it in your hand, you can't see anything new just by looking at it, only listen to the shopkeeper say that the materials used are rare or valuable, so it is conceivable that the value of this sword must not be what their little disciples can afford.
However, the swordsmith did not offer a sky-high price, but offered two silver-maned giant wolf souls in exchange. If these two silver-maned giant wolves are mother and son souls, then the swordsmith behind them will inject souls into this sword for free, and as for the beast soul in the sword, it will be provided by the customer himself.
Chu Xin had been coveting this sword for a long time, and Huang Xiaodou understood it very well.
"Is it difficult to get the silver-maned giant wolf soul?" he asked softly as he walked behind Chu Xin, who had been standing for a long time.
Chu Xin opened his mouth to answer, but Ma Yuncheng, who followed behind, picked it up: "That's quite difficult to get!"
Ma Yuncheng has been doing business for so many years, and he has a lot of treasures about buying and selling, not to mention that this silver-maned giant wolf wolf skin is very valuable, and he has not yet gotten an inch and a half of admiration, as for the wolf bones, he has handled them, but what can be seen in such a piece of bone? It is not as accurate as the leopard in the tube and the blind man touching the elephant......
"Silver-maned giant wolves mostly live on the snowy mountains, often in groups, a wolf team has about ten to twenty adult giant wolves, is a rare team of monsters, they are alert and cunning, good at hiding their whereabouts, often see them people have gone and never returned!"
Huang Xiaodou remembered a novel about wolves he had read before, and nodded in agreement, "Wolves are not easy to mess with."
Chu Xin waited for Ma Yuncheng to finish speaking, and then she said to Huang Xiaodou: "When can you refine a sword like this?" In fact, she also went to the Refining Hall to try, but unfortunately her current ice attribute is naturally restrained by fire, and the general refiners are people with fire attribute or metal, and the fire attribute can control the heat more conveniently and accurately, and the metallicity is naturally better at the fusion of metal and minerals in the crafted vessel.
However, since the raw materials used in the caster are not necessarily all metal, those who have metallic mana also need to accumulate experience in order to better master the caster.
In the end, it was true that people with fire attribute mana were more suitable for casting.
Huang Xiaodou looked at the sword carefully, and said: "This sword is indeed difficult to practice, but it has to be in the material, if you give me enough materials and time, and then give me the earth fire below the tenth layer of the refining hall, it will not be a problem to practice this sword......
He smiled confidently, but before the word "problem" could be spit out, Ma Yuncheng covered his mouth. He immediately slapped the big hand away, unaccustomed to the approach of male creatures.
Oh, except for the kind of turnips......
Ma Yuncheng shook his hand that was hurting, glanced around, and said, "Ancestor, you can't just talk nonsense here!"
When they looked around, it seemed like someone was pointing at them.
Anyway, he couldn't afford it, Chu Xin didn't delay any longer, and pulled Huang Xiaodou out of the store with Ma Yuncheng.
"You're pretty confident. Chu Xin was a little happy, and greeted the half-familiar senior brothers and sisters in the bustling crowd, and continued with Huang Xiaodou: "I think about it, it's not enough to always experience on a few peaks in my own house, if you want to get good materials, you always have to go out and have a good time." ”
Huang Xiaodou was naturally curious about the outside world, and he didn't forget to forge a sword for Chu Xin himself, so he readily agreed.
Ma Yuncheng in the back squeezed up at this time and said, "Good brother, remember to bring your brother with you if you want to get rich?"
Huang Xiaodou had already learned the origin of Ma Yuncheng from An Si and them before, and he was not surprised by his words, and was glad that he really looked at himself, so he smiled and said: "This time in the mountain, if you can bring down all the valuable things we encountered, I will consider taking you down the mountain!"
After all, Huang Xiaodou is the only disciple of the master, and the credibility of this is very high, Ma Yuncheng suddenly smiled and lost his eyes, "Good brother, this is what you said! If you can really take me down the mountain, half of the net worth that I will earn in the future will be yours!"
"Yo~" Huang Xiaodou thought that he could take him down the mountain to teach him to do business, but he didn't expect that there would be an unexpected gain. "There is no evidence, we have to make a note!" How can this big fat meat on the side of his mouth let it run away? Huang Xiaodou secretly took out a pen and paper from his arms with joy in his heart, and saw an aunt who was closing a stall on the side, and smiled charmingly: "This eldest sister, borrow your desktop for use." ”
The aunt was confused by his smile, anyway, it only took a while, she nodded and said, "Mmmm, you use, you use." ”
Chu Xin glanced uncomfortably at the back.
The words are simple and direct: "Today, Xi Feng, the head disciple of Qingshan Gate, promised Ma Yuncheng, a disciple of the outer sect of Qingshan Gate, that if Ma Yuncheng and his party performed well this time, they would try their best to take him out of the mountain." After the deed was completed, half of Ma Yuncheng's net worth since he went down the mountain was owned by Xifeng. This document is hereby written in duplicate, signed and pledged, and it can take effect. ”
"I have ugly handwriting. "Horse luck is a way.
"You can press the mudra!" Huang Xiaodou said. Then Ma Li copied another copy, wrote the date of the day, signed and fingerprinted, one for each person, and signed this "labor contract" that is sure to make money no matter how you look at it.
In the early appointment of the moment, everyone took the bulging Qiankun bags and went to the Mandarin Duck Lake to gather one after another. In addition to making a list of team members, everyone also wants to try their luck and see if they can find a few more reliable partners temporarily.
As a result, after several people got together, it was difficult to see who would be the captain.
"Hmm...... That, everyone, look at it, I'm the highest grade ...... here," Qiao Mukan opened his mouth.
"No, I can't. Senior Sister Qiao Mu is just a healer, and she usually just stares at everyone's injuries and your gait, which doesn't look like she often practices martial arts. It is true that we have more actual combat experience than us, but I am afraid that we lack combat experience. Most of the captains should be people with high combat effectiveness and rich combat experience, and they know all kinds of monsters well. Chu Xin hit the nail on the head, but every sentence was reasonable.
Qiao Mu was irrefutable, but she just couldn't get used to Chu Xin, and said a little targeted: "Then Senior Sister Chu Xin is talking about it, who is the right person to be the captain?"
Chu Xin was a little inexplicable when he heard her tone, and then realized that he had said something serious, but it was not easy to apologize, and looked at everyone present, everyone's eyes were dodging, although An Si was the most experienced in combat, but he had only led a three-person team, and he did small tasks, and he didn't have the courage to serve as the captain for a while.
Huang Xiaodou was the one who looked at her most calmly, and shrugged at her helplessly.
"Except for Senior Sister Qiao Mu, no one has recommended themselves?" Huang Xiaodou asked in the silence of everyone.
Yu Wu came over at this time and whispered to Huang Xiaodou: "Senior Brother Xifeng, otherwise, let Senior Sister Qiao Mu be the captain~"
Huang Xiaodou thought about it and shook his head gently, but when he raised his eyes, he saw that everyone was looking at him intentionally or unintentionally.
Thinking about it, these people are also brought together because of themselves, except for Qiao Mu and Kun Lei, everyone else was acquaintances before. It seems that this captain should be decided by him.
After thinking about it, he said, "I think it's okay, the captain will be named by me for the time being." Senior Sister Qiao Mu and Senior Brother An Si have the most experience in combat, and when Senior Sister Qiao Mu is in actual battle, she can tell Senior Brother An Si about her previous experience, and then we will listen to Senior Brother An Si's command. Let's take a look at it first. See the real chapter from the actual battle!"
Huang Xiaodou saw that everyone nodded slightly, and breathed a sigh of relief.
Qiao Mu spoke again at this time: "I agree with this opinion. But it's all about the actual combat to start talking about experience, I'm afraid it's a little late, so let's discuss it now~ Anyway, it's still early. ”
Everyone nodded in agreement.
"Well, yes, and what Senior Sister Qiao Mu asked before, what kind of demon beasts are there in the area we are responsible for, and we can prescribe the right medicine, right?" Huang Xiaodou said.
"Hmm. In addition, I think we should all introduce our own skills, and when the actual combat comes, Senior Ansi can arrange everyone's tasks. Arbor added again.
The atmosphere between the teams was lively, and everyone was actively discussing.
During this period, there were also some disciples who did not have a team who heard the sound and came to see each other, and after looking at each other, either the team was not satisfied with the disciples who came, or the disciples who came were not satisfied with them.
When the time gradually came, everyone felt that the first eight people would go up the mountain tomorrow to run in and see the shortcomings of the team, and then consider increasing the number of people. In this way, Huang Xiaodou also wrote the team list and asked Ma Yuncheng to send it to Moma Peak.
Ma Yuncheng took the list and said that he promised to complete the task. Huang Xiaodou pulled him aside and pointed to the end of the list.
"Duyan?"
"Shh-" Huang Xiaodou silenced him, "I thought about it, I think that the combat effectiveness of our team is still too weak, I saw that your radical method is quite effective before, it is better for you to work harder, and strive to bring the weir here, if you complete this arduous task, the team will remember you a great achievement!"
Ma Yuncheng didn't think about it for long, and a wicked smile hung on the corner of his mouth, "Cheng, don't worry, it's very simple to bring him here." What's the benefit of remembering a great achievement? Not to go down the mountain, my family property ......."
"The notes have been signed! Don't try to deny it!" Huang Xiaodou patted the "contract" on his chest and resolutely disagreed with this condition.
Ma Yuncheng pursed his lips and looked regretful.
Huang Xiaodou suddenly realized that this guy was slandering himself, and he was really a profiteer!
"Alright, don't fool me, as a member of the squad, this is your mission. Tomorrow you will follow us, bring everything you can sell for money down the mountain, and I will try to take care of your safety. Oh, by the way, do you have enough Qiankun bags? If you don't have enough, hurry up and buy it, and the trading house is not closed yet!" Huang Xiaodou spoke quickly, and after finishing a paragraph, he pushed Ma Yuncheng out.
Ma Yuncheng made him lose his temper and said, "Oh, yes, okay, okay, don't push it, Momafeng is over there, I have to hand in the list first!"
Huang Xiaodou realized that he had indeed pushed the opposite, so he quickly changed the direction and continued to push, "Go and come back quickly, and I'll help you fill the mana of the flying machine when you come back!"
Ma Yuncheng himself has no mana, he can go to the heavens and the earth freely, all relying on a magic weapon called a swastika. This magic weapon can be injected with mana in advance, and after it is filled, it can fly hundreds of miles, and the speed is not slow.
Seeing that this horse Yuncheng stepped on the swastika and flew away, he flew back in the same way after a while.
Ma Yuncheng grabbed Huang Xiaodou and said, "Brother, we seem to have forgotten a very important thing, what is the name of our team?"
