Chapter 94: Timely Rain Zou Gongming
After listening to the words of the elder brother, I was completely hopeless. As the saying goes, a penny is hard to beat a hero, and now it doesn't seem to be an exaggeration at all. With me now, it is not easy to scrape together a thousand gold coins in a few days.
I couldn't help but ask Taaff about the military pay, and he didn't hide it, and he happily told me about the salary structure of Camp Hurricane. As the captain of the squad, the monthly salary of the demon ape Taaff is fifty gold coins, and I, the deputy captain, are much more pitiful, the military salary is only a mere ten gold coins, and as for the ordinary soldiers below, the military salary is five gold coins.
When I heard this, I was so depressed that even if I didn't spend a dime, I would only earn one hundred and twenty gold coins in a whole year. I was a good man, and according to my current salary, I worked hard for eight or nine years to barely save enough for a ticket to the hunting conference.
No wonder Senior Brother just said that it has been hollowed out, think about it, Senior Brother has already participated in three hunting tournaments, so the admission ticket alone will cost three thousand gold coins. The elder brother's annual military salary is 600 gold coins, which means that it will take at least five years to save up enough money for the tickets, and it is indeed very poor.
Demon Ape Taaff said: "Aslun, you don't have to be discouraged, even if you can't participate in this hunting conference, there will be opportunities in the future, so why rush for a while?" When your strength grows a little more, won't the chances of winning the hunting tournament be greater? ”
I drooped my head and said helplessly: "Now it's only like this, alas, I don't know how many years it will take to save enough money for a ticket, the empire is too dark, just the admission ticket costs a thousand gold coins, isn't this a clear pit for us?"
Taaff the Demon Ape agreed: "Who says it's not, damn it, every year just for the admission ticket to this hunting conference, the empire doesn't know how many gold coins can be earned." But, then again, if you can get your hands on the manna, you won't lose anyway. This manna fruit was placed at auction, and one was worth more than 500,000 gold coins, and it had no price, and no one would take out such a precious manna fruit for auction. Ma De, if I had known that I didn't have ancient blood, I should have sold those three manna fruits, and I would be a millionaire now. ”
When I heard this, my eyes lit up and said, "Senior brother, then you continue to participate in the hunting conference, with your strength, isn't it a matter of holding the manna fruit in your hands?" ”
Demon Ape Taaff sighed: "I also think, but unfortunately the empire has clear regulations in this regard, each demon beast can only participate in the hunting conference three times in its life, and now that all three opportunities have been used up, I can no longer participate in the hunting conference." ”
Well, sure enough, the empire will not be exploited, otherwise a strong man like the senior brother Zou Kai will go to the hunting conference every year, and others will still play with eggs? I'm feeling a little down, and I don't want to talk about it anymore, so it's better to find a place to cry for a while.
I said, "Captain, do you have any more orders?" Just now, Master Zou Kai asked me to settle the recruits and go to see it, and now those recruits have gone to run circles, I want to see what Lord Zou Kai is looking for me. ”
The demon ape Taffe patted me on the head and said, "You go, but you'd better not use any crooked brains, the hunting conference is not a joke, if you don't have money, just break this idea as soon as possible, don't go the wrong way to take your life in, you know?" ”
I nodded, and from the tone of the senior brother, I heard the long-lost concern, and I was very grateful in my heart. I saluted my senior brother and went straight to the camp of Zou Kai.
The armory was not far from Zou Kai's tent, only ten minutes away. I stood outside the tent, and when I saw that there were no guards, I shouted, "Report, Aslun asks for a meeting." ”
The dignified voice of the tooth-loving Zou Kai sounded: "Come in." ”
I walked into the humble camp of Zou Kai, who was toothless, and saw a few pages on the table, and Zou Kai was watching carefully and intently, and I didn't know what I was looking at.
I didn't dare to disturb, so I had to wait quietly.
After waiting for more than ten minutes, Zou Kai finally raised his head and asked, "Aslun, have the recruits settled down?" ”
I was embarrassed; "Sir, the recruits are running laps in the training grounds."
Tooththirsty Zou Kai looked at me meaningfully, and did not dwell on this topic, it asked, "Do you know what I called you over this time?" ”
I shook my head, who knows what you asked Lao Tzu to do.
Zou Kai, who is toothless, said: "Aslun, you are a recruit, you have just joined the army and become the deputy captain, and the starting point is much higher than that of other recruits. However, you yourself should know very well that your strength is far from the standard of our Hurricane Battalion Deputy Captain, otherwise something like this would not have happened today, do you say? ”
I nodded helplessly, with my attributes, even ordinary recruits can't compare, if it weren't for my strong skills, I would have died a scumbag today.
Toothless Zou Kaidao; "Although your strength is not enough, I still appoint you as the vice captain, do you know the reason?"
I shook my head and said, "Sir, I don't know. Earlier, you said that you appointed me as the vice captain because I have done my job conscientiously in the past month, and I think the real reason is probably not this, right? ”
Toothy Zou Kai said: "You are very smart, it is true. To be honest, your enlistment time is still too short, and I am still a little worried about handing over the training tasks of recruits to you. Letting recruits train recruits, let alone our Hurricane Battalion, even if the rest of the Empire has no precedent for this, this practice is simply irresponsible to recruits, and it is child's play. ”
Although it doesn't sound very comfortable, but what Zou Kai said is reasonable, I can't refute it, not to mention that Zou Kai is not at ease, even I don't have any confidence, and the ghost knows how this recruit should be trained.
Toothy Zou Kai continued, "Master Wiki strongly recommended you to me in his letters, and Taaff assured me many times that he thought you would be a competent vice-captain, so I gave you this opportunity. However, I'm definitely not comfortable letting you train recruits alone, I talked to Taaff that it will train recruits with you, but Taaffe's personality is too lazy, I guess it won't last long, and the training task will still be handed over to you to complete later. Now Taaffe's mission is not only to train new recruits, but also to develop you, and I hope you will make the most of this opportunity. ”
I have some emotion in my heart.,I don't know if this guy is too simple.,I just chatted with it casually.,It was solemnly recommended to the tooth-loving Zou Kai.,I'm still very grateful for this inexplicable trust.。 At the same time, after listening to Zou Kai's words, I understood why the lazy senior brother would run to the armory so diligently, it turned out to be Zou Kai's order.
Zou Kai said: "Today is your first day in office, and some unpleasant things have happened, I hope you don't bring your emotions into the training of recruits." Every soldier here is a treasure selected by our Hurricane Battalion, and I will feel sorry for losing one, so please try to keep them safe, can you do it? ”
I nodded, your old man has said this, do I dare to say no?
Zou Kai said: "I think you should already know the training subjects of recruits, this time you follow Taaffe not only to learn how to train recruits, but also to improve your strength as soon as possible, otherwise you should be very aware of the chain reaction brought by weak strength." ”
I hurriedly nodded and said, "Your Excellency, please rest assured, my subordinates will do their best to complete the task." ”
Toothless Zou Kai nodded and said: "I hope so, the intelligence department of the empire has made an assessment, it will take about three or four months for the troops of the Maple Frost Empire and the Muyu Empire to gather together, plus the deployment time of various supplies, it is estimated that the big war will take place in half a year." ”
Saying that, the tooththirsty Zou Kai sighed and said: "This time the war will be very tragic, the Maple Frost Empire and the Muyu Empire may gather a million troops this time, and they are the most powerful demon beast legions in history." Our Hurricane Battalion will be a tough job this time, so the training must be rigorous, and you and Taaffe must have four months to reinvent the recruits. Taffe's temperament is too casual, he can be the vanguard of the charge, but he can't be the commander. After seeing your performance today, I am still quite optimistic about you, so I hope you can learn from Taaffe, and when you are fully mature, I will entrust you with important responsibilities. ”
I nodded in agreement, the war will not break out in about half a year, so this time is a complete waste for me. I'm different from other demon beasts, I don't know how demon beasts get promoted, anyway, if I don't devour soul essence fragments, it's absolutely impossible for me to get promoted. What bullshit training is completely useless to me, even if I train for a hundred years, it is not as useful as devouring a high-level soul essence for me.
The thought of wasting half a year made me even more depressed. No, if I can't attend this hunting meeting, after half a year, I guess I won't be able to beat those livestock-like recruits. I thought about the entire barracks, and this Zou Kai was a rich master, so I still had to find a way to do it. The only question now is how can Zou Kai, a low-ranking officer like me who has just joined the Hurricane Battalion, lend me a thousand gold coins, which is not a small amount as far as I know.
Zou Kai, who is toothy, asked, "Aslun, looking at the way you want to talk and stop, do you have something to say to me?" ”
I thought about it again and again, but I decided to give it a try. Others say that if you open your mouth, you will get three points of profit, and if you don't give it, it will be enough, anyway, now that Zou Kai has asked, he will simply tell the truth. Borrowing from me is pie in the sky, and if I don't borrow it, I won't lose anything.
Thinking of this, I said, "Sir, today I heard Captain Taffe talk about the hunting conference, I really want to participate, but I don't have that much money to buy admission tickets, if you have spare money, can you lend me a thousand gold coins?" ”
Tooththirsty Zou Kai looked at me with interest and said, "You want to participate in this year's hunting conference?" ”
Zou Kai didn't directly refuse to make me feel very hopeful, and quickly nodded his head again and again, reciting Amitabha Buddha in his heart, praying that Zou Kai would never refuse me.
Zou Kai, who loves teeth, said: "A thousand gold coins for me, it is not much, but it is not a lot. If I lend it to you, what will you give back to me? ”
I was speechless for a moment, according to my current military salary, ten gold coins a month, that is to say, I have to save a hundred months without spending a dime to make up a thousand gold coins, and the devil knows when I can afford it.
I smiled bitterly and said: "It's the subordinates who are abrupt, and I ask the commander not to be surprised, if there are no other orders, the subordinates will leave." ”
Tooththirsty Zou Kai suddenly stretched out his tiger claws, and a bracelet-like bracelet appeared out of thin air in its claws. Zou Kai said: "You can take this storage bracelet, there are a thousand gold coins in it." ”
I couldn't believe my ears, was this really going to lend me anything?
Toothless Zou Kai smiled: "What, you don't want it?" ”
I wipe, how can I refuse this kind of pie-in-the-sky good thing, and hurriedly grabbed the storage bracelet, although I don't know how to use this thing, but I just go back and ask the senior brother.
Tooththirsty Zou Kai said earnestly: "Aslun, Taaffe should have told you that the hunting tournament is very dangerous, you had better think about it carefully, and don't be blinded by the manna fruit." I'm very optimistic about you, and I hope you think twice about everything. ”
My heart is full of surprises at this time, Zou Kai's words are simply the left ear in and out of the right ear, besides, even if it is dangerous, I have to give it a try, otherwise with my current strength, I may not be able to survive the battlefield in the future.
Toothless Zou Kai sighed and said, "Okay, I don't have anything to do here, you can go back." ”
I forcibly suppressed the joy in my heart, respectfully saluted the toothy Zou Kai, and withdrew from the camp.
I carefully put the storage bracelet into the small bag hanging around my neck, my heart was simply happy, sure enough, it was the road of the sky, I didn't expect that I really borrowed a thousand gold coins from Zou Kai, it seems that the ticket to this hunting conference has finally been settled. Although this Zou Kai has not been in contact for a long time, whether it is being a person or doing things, I have nothing to say, it is simply timely rain Song Gongming, no, Zou Gongming.
I came to the training ground with a happy heart, and at this time five hundred demon beasts were running in circles, and the demon ape Taaffe stood in the middle of the field and shouted, "You garbage, haven't you eaten?" Even a snail can run faster than you, cheer me up, if you can't run 500 laps before dark, don't eat dinner. ”
I watched the demon beasts one by one tired like a dog, their tongues were about to hang out, and I was amused in my heart, the senior brother is really the legendary vegetable madman, is this the rhythm of running them to death?
