Chapter Fifty-Seven: The First Dream
Until Birou left, An Xu was still immersed in that sentence-
"An Xu, do you have a dream?"
He leaned back and lay down on the ground in a large shape, staring blankly at the ceiling. Dream? Of course he had, but he had hidden it deep in his heart.
An Xu put his hand into his clothes, groped under his neck for a while, and took out a simple pendant, the pendant was a thin piece of metal, and when he looked closely, it turned out to be a mercenary badge.
And then he just lay motionless, watching the badge fall into endless memoriesβ
β¦β¦
"Haha, from today onwards, our 'Hope Mercenary Team' will be officially established, and next, everyone must work together to develop our team into the most powerful mercenary group......" A teenager happily announced holding the newly made badge in his hand.
"Really? I think it's better for us to be realistic, and we still owe this month's rent. An Xu said coldly.
The young man waved his hand and said: "These are not important, in life, we must have dreams, although we are mercenaries, but we must also be a mercenary with dreams!" β
One of the team members whispered to the side: "I think the captain has a point, but the 'Hope Mercenary Team' is not domineering at all, or we call it the 'Tiger Mercenary Team', right?" β
The young man scolded angrily, "What? Do you dare to question the captain's otherworldly taste? β
"That's it, little third son, you have eaten the guts of an ambitious leopard, although I think so too, but I will never bring it up in front of the captain!"
β¦β¦
Those days were the most nostalgic time for An Xu, a group of unknown little mercenaries, gathered together for the same dream, worked hard every day, and fell asleep at night, but they were unusually fulfilling.
For each task, everyone has paid a high level of enthusiasm, even if they are tired and tired, they are also full of motivation, watching their team become more and more famous and stronger, and I feel that my dream is approaching me step by step.
One day in the future, they will obtain that high glory, the people who bullied them before will be afraid of them, the people who looked down on them before will respect them, and each of their family members will also get a harbor that is not afraid of wind and waves.
That feeling, it's really good.
It's a pity that during a mission, the team was attacked by a fierce demon beast in the wild, and more than half of them were killed and injured, including the captain of the team and An Xu's best friend, Mu Jinghuai.
Mu Jinghuai's death gave An Xu an unbearable blow and made him a mess for a long time.
The team that had lost its core also existed in name only, and could no longer support it, and some of the remaining members left the team to find another way out.
When An Xu finally cheered up, he wanted to develop the team again, but he found that he couldn't do it with himself at that time.
Without Mu Jinghuai, a two-star warrior, taking the lead, others would not be willing to join his team at all, and even when he mentioned the name of his team, it would attract malicious ridicule-
"Can only an ordinary mercenary who can't fight be called a team? Haha, you haven't woken up yet, have you? β
After a long time, An Xu also gave up this illusory goal and re-lived the life of a scattered mercenary.
After Birou's questioning, An Xu suddenly realized that he was still thinking about their team, otherwise, he wouldn't have carried this badge with him all the time! Otherwise, he wouldn't have been reluctant to join other mercenary teams.
Because, this is their original dream, and it is also the only last wish left by their good friends.
Thinking of this, An Xu shook the pendant in his hand fiercely, he now has a good strength, why not make this wish come true?
Those times, those memories have always lingered in An Xu's heart, if he gave up so easily, when he got old, I am afraid he would also have deep regret and unwillingness.
Although it is very difficult, it is not completely impossible, if it is because you are not strong enough, then try to make yourself stronger, isn't this the motivation that you have been lacking?
An Xu's eyes became brighter and brighter, and at the end he sat up suddenly!
It's decided, when this escort mission is completed, let's work towards that goal!
β¦β¦
On the way back from school, Yayunling kept looking at An Xu, and he couldn't feel comfortable.
"What are you doing?" An Xu asked strangely.
"How do you feel like you've suddenly changed as a person, and you're much more energetic than before!" Ya Yunling said to himself: "Wouldn't it be because the monthly meeting was in the limelight and found confidence?" β
"......" An Xu didn't know how to answer this question, so he could only be wise to remain silent.
"I've heard about it, there seems to be a little girl over there in the warrior department who admires you very much, hehe, you are worthy of being a hooligan, seeing that you are so excited, you must be thinking of something bad, right?" Ya Yunling said with a look of disgust.
"Where did you hear about it? Well, if you win a challenge, shouldn't you just have fun? An Xu felt that she couldn't be silent any longer, and she didn't want to have a reason to explain, and she didn't know where she could go.
Yayunling's misunderstanding is nothing, if it reaches An Xin and Lina's mother and daughter, it will be a tragedy.
"What is there to be proud of, you can't beat me!" Yakumo Ling showed deep disdain.
An Xu choked and almost bit off his tongue, Miss, you are a five-ring archmage, who dares to be proud in front of you? Don't be honest with us little people, okay?
Thinking about it, it seems that Yayun Ling is more than a year younger than him, and he really doesn't know how this demon-level genius cultivates.
After returning to the room, An Xu plunged into the training ground, and since he figured it out, he felt like he had an inexhaustible amount of energy.
If you want to become stronger now, of course, you still have the fastest way to earn skill points from the training ground.
Today's target is the guy with the longbow.
In the past, An Xu never dared to go in to challenge him again, because he was too flexible, with An Xu's movement speed, it was impossible to catch up with him, and he could only be dragged alive to death.
But now it's different, because An Xu has learned to charge, and he is completely sure that he can get close to the other party.
Sure enough, under An Xu's charge, the distance between the two sides was quickly narrowed, but what surprised An Xu was that this opponent actually had a good melee ability, his longbow was sharpened very sharply at both ends, like two daggers, and he also had a short sword at his waist, and from time to time he would get into a hole to give An Xu a sword.
For the first time, because he was not very familiar with the opponent's melee combat methods, An Xu was accidentally stabbed to the vital point and was defeated.
But after all, An Xu is a shield warrior who is good at hand-to-hand combat, and after another hour of continuous fighting, An Xu finally seized the opportunity and defeated his opponent.
[Congratulations on passing the Ranger Primary Trial and obtaining Skill Point 1, the Ranger Intermediate Trial has been opened.] γ
It turns out that this is really a ranger, and An Xu doesn't know much about this profession, but only occasionally hears others talk about it.
Just because he can defeat this opponent doesn't mean that the class is weak, and if it's in the jungle in the wild, An Xu believes that the opponent can easily shake him off with obstacles.
And don't forget, this is only a small part of the opponent's technical strength, just like Lan Cai'er, if the strength is fully exerted, even if An Xu is really close, he will definitely not be their opponent.
Anyway, the skill points of the trial were in hand, and An Xu used it again on the charge without saying a word.
[Using skill points to strengthen 'Charge' successfully, proficiency increases, skill level increases, and the current skill level is LV2.] γ
After the strengthening of the two skill points, the charge finally increased the level, An Xu tried to use it, not only the speed of the charge increased a lot again, but also brought a bit of power.
If you raise the level of the charge high enough and use it with the shield, wouldn't you be able to knock the opponent into a stun by just charging it?
Thinking of this, An Xu couldn't wait to find the next target.
As soon as he turned around, he saw the six-pointed star passage that had once left a shadow on him.
