Chapter 9 Mercenary Guild
Back to the dorm.
Shen Mu saw that Wang Bin was not there, so he went directly to his bed, pulled up the curtain, sat down cross-legged and checked the small cyclone of the Imperial Spirit Trick in his body, and then practiced for a week, adjusted his body, opened the "Rapid Technique" and looked at it.
As a low-level low-grade exercise, the focus of cultivation is to expand the meridians of the legs so that they can withstand more fighting energy, so as to increase the strength of their legs, and improve their movement speed and jumping ability. Shen Mu had already mastered it thoroughly after studying it for half an hour. I wondered if my comprehension was too strong or if this exercise was too weak, but after reading it repeatedly, I really didn't find any other mysteries. I will no longer be entangled, and I plan to go to the martial arts arena to practice until the evening, and then go to the cafeteria for a "date".
As soon as I went out, I ran into Wang Bin who came back.
"Wang Bin, where did you fool around again?
"Hey, boss, you're here. I've been all over this academy, and I always have to be familiar with it on the first day of my arrival, right? I can't always sit in the dormitory and practice, but boss, don't worry, what information do you want to know and ask me directly. As your little brother, I am willing to do the work of dogs and horses. Wang Bin smiled doggedly, as if he wanted to do something for Shen Mu, such as pouring tea or something, but found that there was nothing around, so he had to trot over and pretend to pinch Shen Mu's arm and hammer his leg.
Shen Mu was also really defeated by Wang Bin's little brother attribute, but he did have something to ask him then.
"Wang Bin, let me ask you, do you know where you can get the Spirit Technique? Shen Mu asked tentatively.
"Well... I think about it, if the boss asks about martial arts, it's really not easy to do, the martial arts in the academy require a lot of points to exchange, and there are also martial arts sold in the market outside the academy, but they are all expensive, and they are definitely not something that we students can afford. But if you want spell skills, it is a lot cheaper than martial arts, especially low-level spell skills, the price is not even low-level low-grade martial arts, among which the fire spell book is relatively expensive, it may require three hundred gold coins, and the cheapest of the light system is about one hundred gold coins, after all, the low-level ones of the light system are all auxiliary spells. Wang Bin was very good at what he did, and he said a lot of information for the boss's reference.
Shen Mu was suddenly happy in his heart, the light system is cheap, it couldn't be better, and asked again. "I seem to remember that there is a points exchange office of the Chamber of Commerce in the academy, what is the price of gold coins now?"
"Some bosses, I made a special trip to this points exchange office, and the current exchange ratio is about one to five, one point for hardware coins. Boss, do you really want to buy the spell skills of the spirit master?" Wang Bin was a little puzzled, and then said weakly and uneasily: "That is to rely on magic power to cultivate, we are martial artists, only fighting spirit." ”
Shen Mu knew that this little brother was easier to fool, so he made up a random one and said that his friend wanted to know about it and fooled him.
The two chatted for a while, and Wang Bin was also envious after knowing that Shen Mu had learned the body martial arts, and after making up his mind to cultivate well a few times, he went back to the dormitory to cultivate. Shen Mu looked at Wang Bin, who had made up his mind, and couldn't help but shake his head, he hadn't forgotten this afternoon's task, and he had to go to the martial arts arena to practice his body martial arts, which had been delayed by Wang Bin for a while, but he couldn't delay it any longer. went directly to the martial arts arena, and the matter of point exchange will be done tomorrow.
When I first arrived at the martial arts arena, there were really a lot of people here, not only Shen Mu, but also students of the academy, all of them worked very hard, and no one was improving every day. Shen Mu glanced around, and unsurprisingly saw Lin Tian and the five people, Xu Kai had obviously recovered, and was practicing with another person. Lin Tian also noticed Shen Mu's arrival, waved his hand and said hello, Shen Mu nodded, didn't continue to pay attention to them, and walked in the other direction, preparing to go to an empty venue to practice the "Swift Technique". Lin Tian continued his cultivation after a wry smile.
The martial arts arena was very huge, and with many academies accommodating, Shen Mu quickly found an open place to sit cross-legged. After running the "Swift Journey" a few times, he got up and started the actual combat drill.
The body martial arts are worthy of being the most special existence among all the martial arts, and Mu soon discovered that the martial arts with this simple operating principle are very effective, and with his body technique that he is not very proficient in now, he can run more than three times faster than before, and his jumping ability follows more than three meters high. Some big obstacles can be directly jumped over.
Of course, the one who complains about this magic martial art is Shen Mu, and if other ordinary students want to exchange these five hundred points of martial arts, they don't know how many low-level tasks the academy has to do, and they don't know if they can save enough for half a year.
The time of cultivation passed very quickly, and Shen Mu felt that his cultivation gradually had a tendency to break through the low-level as he continued to consume and replenish his fighting qi, and he believed that in no more than two days, he should be able to enter the middle-level martial artist, and when he reached the middle-level martial artist, he believed that the distance he could draw his sword and slash would be close to the level of the high-level martial artist wielding his sword qi casually. As long as the body martial arts are in use, they will continue to consume fighting energy, but this Shen Mu doesn't care too much, the small cyclone in his body is replenishing his magic power and fighting energy anytime and anywhere, although the replenishment speed is not as fast as the speed of consumption, but it is much stronger than others who need to cross their knees to breathe and restore their fighting energy, and his battle will be more durable.
It was close to dinner time, Shen Mu also stopped cultivating, today's harvest is not small, an afternoon of training can basically master all the mysteries of the speed technique, what is lacking now is proficiency. After pranayama stabilized his breath, he went to the cafeteria.
Shen Mu deliberately went to get other people's things a little earlier, and it was not good to ask people to wait. Shen Mu thought so, and walked to the door of the cafeteria, only to see a red shadow standing there.
The red shadow is so dazzling, standing there has attracted many students' side eyes
Shen Mu was also a little speechless, he had already come early enough, but he still made the family wait, if he came to the cafeteria at the usual time... If you think about it, you're afraid, what should I do if people are impatient to wait.
"Shen Mu~" Cheng Yanyue quickly found Shen Mu and waved at him.
Suddenly, a lot of people turned to look at the guy named Shen Mu, Shen Mu walked towards Cheng Yanyue with an innocent face, and said: "You're not very good, so many people have looked at me and know my name, how can I mix in the future, don't you know how attention-grabbing you are?"
Cheng Yanyue winked at Shen Mu, "You, the number one freshman, are very strong, they don't dare to provoke you." Hee-hee, let's go and eat," he said, taking his hand out of his pocket and waving a small notebook, then stuffed it back in.
"Okay," Shen Mu was full of black lines, he seemed to understand something, a popular girl suitor is naturally and numerous, and he must be harassed usually, Cheng Yanyue came out like this, and everyone's topic spread ten, ten and hundred, and the matter of having dinner with Cheng Yanyue will soon be known by those who pursue her, so won't he become a shield... But Shen Mu, who understood all this, couldn't stop this matter, he really needed that Soul Perfect. As for clarifying to others after getting the book, he and Cheng Yanyue are just new acquaintances, please, ghosts will believe it, and they made an appointment to eat together in the cafeteria for the first time.
The more Shen Mu thought about it, the more complicated it became, and when he looked at Cheng Yanyue, who was walking side by side with him, he unconsciously wanted to keep a little distance from him.
"What, you're afraid of me?" Cheng Yanyue suddenly grabbed Shen Mu's arm and leaned it against his chest, smiled at him like a little fox, and continued, "You seem to understand something, hee hee may be what you think, why should you do me a favor, you will be indispensable in the future, just say it's my boyfriend outside." ”
Shen Mu was "injured" by a softness on Cheng Yanyue's chest, and was critted by the word "boyfriend". I almost laughed at Jiuquan.
There's no way, what you want is in the hands of others, and you have to hold on to it, after thinking about it, you raised your head and chested up, and cooperated with the end of this Hongmen banquet.
Cheng Yanyue ordered all the good dishes in the cafeteria, and as a spirit, she naturally did not lack that point, and she liked to be extravagant. Shen Mu was bitter at the checkout, he ate more than 20 points in this meal, and he was so distressed that he had to pretend that he didn't care. Cheng Yanyue covered her mouth and smiled.
It wasn't until the door of the girls' dormitory that the two separated, and Shen Mu was satisfied with the spirit of the soul and went all the way back, on the way, it was obvious that some people were whispering and pointing at him, and his back was cold all the way.
After returning to the dormitory, Wang Bin's kid was not there, it was estimated that he had gone to waste after dinner, and Shen Mu didn't know what a person had to waste.
I got on the bed and drew the curtain, and breathed for a week, and when the small cyclone in my body was already in a state of high-speed rotation, I began to look through the Xuan Ling Jue and began to refer to it.
The cultivation method of the spirit is very similar to the spirit of the spirit, the difference is that the release of magic power does not need to pass through the meridians, so the magic power will not strengthen their physical fitness, which is also one of the differences between the martial artist and the spirit, if the spirit can also be physically strong while slashing people with a big knife, while releasing spell attacks, then the martial artist still has a way to live.
After Shen Mu cultivated a few times to refine the spirit of the spirit, he felt that the magic power in his body was full of a lot, and compared to the automatic absorption of the small cyclone, the active cultivation would obviously be faster. However, the small cyclone and active cultivation can be multiplied, which had to make Shen Mu sigh that the "Imperial Spirit Formula" given by his father was magically abnormal.
Following.
Shen Mu got up early in the morning, and Wang Bin's kid didn't know when he came back yesterday, so he didn't wake him up, so he went out directly.
After breakfast, Shen Mu went directly to the points exchange office.
The points exchange office is not far from the gate of the college, and several shops are next to each other, with the names of the chambers of commerce to which each shop belongs. Shen Mu casually calculated a shop called the God of Wealth Association and walked in.
A middle-aged man in the shop sat on the counter with sleepy eyes, obviously he didn't sleep well last night, Shen Mu estimated that he was on the night shift. Gently wake up this middle-aged man, who chases you and purrs a few times before he opens his eyes and asks, "Student, exchange points?"
"Yes, I have fifty points that need to be exchanged for gold coins," Shen Mu didn't beat around the bush.
"Don't have a Fortuna card?" the big man asked again.
"No, what is the God of Wealth card?" Shen Mu asked strangely, he really didn't know this God of Wealth card.
"A new student from the countryside?" Dahan glanced at the neat young man in front of him, obviously not a hillbilly from the countryside, but he didn't know that their God of Wealth card was there, so it must be from the countryside.
"This... I really don't have the God of Wealth card, if I can't change it, then I'll find another home. ”
"Hey, hey, little brother, don't go. The middle-aged man looked at Shen Mu and hurriedly stayed, "If you have a God of Wealth card, the proportion of gold coins exchanged will be higher, and if you don't have it, it will be according to the normal market ratio, hehe, how about twenty points and two hundred and fifty gold coins?"
As soon as Shen Mu heard that the exchange ratio was the same as that of Wang Bin and him yesterday, he didn't ink it, handed over the student card, and said, "Deal!"
After taking away the points, Dahan handed over a bag of gold coins and told Shen Mu about the God of Wealth card.
The God of Wealth card is actually the stored value card of the God of Wealth, which can be easily paid and collected a large amount of money, the God of Wealth card itself is also a symbol of status, the lowest level of the God of Wealth card is white, called the silver God of Wealth card, a single transaction of 1,000 gold coins can be handled; followed by the yellow, gold God of Wealth card, the cumulative transaction of 10,000 gold coins can be handled; there are purple gold, black gold and other higher level wealth cards. Each Wealth Card also has its own permissions, for example, the low-level Silver Card can enjoy the preferential treatment of increasing the transaction exchange rate by 10%, and the more advanced the card, the more privileges.
After Shen Mu left the points exchange office, he went directly out of the courtyard gate not far away, as long as he showed his student card, he could enter and exit freely, and after asking the doorman uncle where the nearest market was, he set off directly.
Saint Laurent City shopping street.
The people here are very lively, and the shops on both sides of the street are also dazzling, selling everything. Shen Mu saw the commercial street of a big city for the first time, and he also wanted to play out of the mentality of a child, but he still had a task on his side, and he just wanted to buy his favorite spell skills as soon as possible. After half an hour of wandering, I finally found an area dedicated to selling spirit items. It's obviously not as lively as other areas.
Shen Mu quickly entered a shop and asked if there were any low-level light spell techniques. Yves Saint Laurent's shops are truly extraordinary, and this small shop is fully stocked. The shopkeeper introduced his goods: "Little brother, the prices here are all real, the whole area is about the same, and it won't pit you." The light spell technique is here, you see, one hundred gold coins for the healing technique, one hundred and fifty gold coins for the Holy Light Barrier, four hundred gold coins for the Holy Light Impact, and three hundred gold coins for the Holy Light Empowerment..."
The shop owner gushed endlessly, but Shen Mu quickly selected two spell techniques, the Healing Technique and the Holy Light Barrier. And with years of bargaining experience, he directly cut two books of two hundred gold coins. Left with a sigh from the boss.
"The school's low-level spell skills are really pitfalls, three hundred points a book, if you exchange it for gold coins, you can buy ten copies here. Suddenly, Shen Mu's heart moved, do you want to stop looking at martial arts?
There were many shops selling martial arts, and Shen Mu entered one at random. As a result, he was greatly disappointed, the academy's 200-point low-grade low-grade boxing method was sold for more than 1,500 gold coins here, and the low-level middle-grade martial arts were sold for more than 2,500 gold coins, and a special martial art like the body martial art could be priced at around 4,000 even if it was a low-level low-grade martial art.
"Martial artists really have no money and no way to live, if you want to improve your strength, you can't do it without matching martial arts, you can't improve your strength, and you can't play your own cultivation without matching martial arts. Shen Mu sighed and walked around, and suddenly walked to a huge square. What attracted him was a huge building facing south on the north side of the square, with a few large letters written on it, Saint Laurent Branch of the Mercenary Union.
Several large gold-inlaid characters are particularly dazzling in the sun.
"Mercenary Guild?There should be a place to take tasks to make money, I don't know what level of people are inside, out of curiosity and yearning for the unknown. Shen Mu stepped in.
The entrance to the huge building is a hall, and more than a dozen windows are crowded with people, and the voices of people are boiling, and the noise and scolding are resounding.
Shen Mu walked to the area closest to the door, where there were two big words written on it. In the past, there was a large notice board at the entrance, and many people were surrounding and choosing the tasks they could take. Shen Mu looked at it fixedly, and it said that the C-level task notice board was written on it, and they were all tasks such as hunting small demon beasts and escorting. For example, in this one, blacksmith Liu Kaiyi needs ten fangs of the bone-eating demon, and the reward for completing the task is two hundred gold coins. The bone-eating demon is considered the lowest demon beast, and it feeds on the leftover remains of other demon beasts. Even the illiterate Shen Mu knows this.
"Sure enough, it's a C-level mission, and it's all something that some middle and low-level martial artists can complete. Shen Mu muttered. Out of this area, I went to the B-class area. There are obviously a lot fewer people in this area, it seems that they are all some old qualified mercenaries, and the tasks on the task notice board are also more difficult, Shen Mu took a look at it, and the B-level tasks are estimated to be only able to be completed by those powerful martial artists. After thinking about it, Shen Mu returned to the hall where he entered the door, wanting to learn about the C-level mercenaries. Now that the points are gone, and the gold coins are gone, it seems that I will have to eat dirt if I don't want to find some resources.
"Little brother, hey, hello, I think you should be a low-level martial artist, it's hard to mix low-level martial artists here. Suddenly, a person came out next to him and said to Shen Mu.
Shen Mu was taken aback by this person who jumped out, this person is faulty, scary.
"Hehe, I'm sorry, little brother, I'm scared of you, we have rookie martial artists like you here every day, I'm a staff member here, in order to avoid unnecessary death after you take on the task of hunting monsters alone. The mortality rate for a newbie like you is very high. ”
When Shen Mu heard that the other party was kindly reminded, he couldn't help but be a little grateful. "Thank you, uncle, but you also need a mercenary team to pick up those escort tasks, and you can't take it alone, right?"
The uncle also said patiently: "I can't complete it if I pick it up alone, and our union is responsible for the customer to let the team pick up." If a junior mercenary wants to do a mission, he must first find a mercenary group to join. ”
Shen Mu heard his uncle's intentional guidance, so he then asked, "Uncle, how do you join the mercenary group?"
The uncle also said unhurriedly: "You look at the hall window when you enter the door, this window can go through the formalities to become a mercenary, after becoming a mercenary, you need an acquaintance to introduce, or hang your own information in the hall window, let those in charge of the mercenary group choose." ”
After thanking the uncle, Shen Mu walked to the window and began to line up.
In the queue, the people around were noisy, and a lot of information was revealed. Shen Mu learned that there seemed to be many low-level martial artists, and there was no mercenary group at all, and it was impossible to join a top-ranked mercenary group without a skill.
Shen Mu hesitated for a moment and seemed to have made a decision.
