in the small ballroom.

The melodious sound of music still echoed in the space, and the twelve young girls in cool clothes danced and bowed lightly.

“…… Brother Qin, how about tasting the taste of this Moutai? ”

Ye Hanfeng, who was on the main seat, raised his wine glass at Qin Feng and said enthusiastically: "This is a good thing dug up from the ruins of the old era, it's rare, I don't have a few bottles of stock here." ”

Qin Feng nodded, raised his wine glass to greet slightly, and then drank it all. The veiled maid next to him immediately held the silver flask and poured him another glass.

Perhaps because of the good storage conditions, the taste of the liquor did satisfy him, and it can be said that he has tasted the best drink since he came into this world.

There is no doubt that in this era after the catastrophe of civilization, the amount of such alcohol can never be too much, it belongs to a veritable top luxury, and this night cold maple is really willing.

But what...... If you can come up with some high-end drinks to sell, I believe you can exchange a lot of good things from those big people, right?

The dishes on the table are not very rich, the main dishes are glutinous rice chicken, potato roast beef, egg cakes, and a few home-cooked side dishes, all of which are precious ingredients without any radiation, and the taste is not bad.

In the Overworld, food that can be eaten by an ordinary person can only be enjoyed here by a high-level evolutionary like the City Lord. The quality of the daily rations of the humans in the outer cities is much worse than that of the animals in the Overworld.

Qin Feng politely thanked him, this Ye Hanfeng gave him a good first impression, and on the premise of ensuring that he would not suffer a loss, he might be able to help him in the future.

In addition to Ye Hanfeng himself, his six wives were present in the hall, plus five henchmen, and sat on both sides of the long oak dining table, which was the core of the Mastiff Dragon Base's current rule.

Qin Feng secretly observed, that fourth lady was not only beautiful, but also the highest cultivation, an eighth-level evolutionary. The rest of the people also have strength ranging from level five to level eight, and even if they are strong people with names and surnames outside, they can preside over a small base or a person in a settlement.

Ye Hanfeng's own strength is the strongest, and he is already level ten, but his aura is faintly scattered, which is obviously a sign of an unstable foundation. Of course, the strength of only the ninth-level peak can also ensure that he sits firmly on the throne of the supreme ruler of the Mastiff Dragon Base.

"Brother Qin Feng and I hit it off at first sight,"

Ye Hanfeng put down the wine glass, looked at him with bright eyes, and said warmly: "That's why I will treat you warmly today, and now, I believe that Brother Qin will not deliberately deceive me." May I ask you from which side of the great power you are from? For what reason? ”

Qin Feng smiled secretly in his heart, this is the main topic of tonight's banquet, if he doesn't handle it properly, maybe he will have to be left here, and he won't want to step out of the City Lord's Mansion in the future.

After thinking about it, he said with a straight face: "Regarding my origin, I really can't explain it to the Night City Lord at this time, because it's too weird and bizarre to explain. However, one thing is certain: I do not belong to any of the major forces, and there are no bad intentions for the Mastiff base. ”

"I'm just taking on some tasks now, earning some resources to support myself, and by the way, getting a long-term residence status in the inner city, I believe this will not affect the interests of the base, right?"

"If you are interested in the future, you may consider establishing a mercenary group to play with, of course, it will not cause trouble to the base."

Obviously, Ye Hanfeng was not very satisfied with such an answer, of course, he didn't show his displeasure on his face, he just said:

"If Brother Qin is just such a simple plan, why don't you come and help me? The Fifth Brigade of the City Guard is currently expanding, and there is no suitable candidate for the captain yet, so why don't you leave it to you? ”

"If you don't want to be restrained and want to build your own mercenary group, I can also provide a certain amount of support, as long as the base is threatened by foreign enemies, Brother Qin can help fight back."

Song Xueyao next to her said with a smile: "The scheduled establishment of the fifth team is one hundred, and the weapons and equipment will be complete, as long as you agree, these hundred people will be under your command." ”

A hundred people who are fully armed, and there are a certain number of evolutionaries in them, which is already a considerable combat power in this era. Qin Feng has now learned the scale of the Mastiff Dragon Base, and there are more than 2,000 high-ranking citizens who have lived in the inner city for a long time, and they are the backbone of the base. The more than 30,000 people in the outer city are dependent on the inner city to live, and only a small number of people who are relatively good and have made enough contributions to the base can hope to obtain permission to enter the inner city to live.

In addition to the base, there are also a number of small bases and settlements distributed in the surrounding area of nearly 100 kilometers, all of which belong to the vassals of the Mastiff Dragon Base, providing them with various resources and services on weekdays in exchange for the protection of this large base.

In this chaotic and disorderly era, the state has long since ceased to exist and has been replaced by corporations, consortia, al-Qaeda alliances, and so on, ranging in size from a few hundred to hundreds of thousands, with a million people being the limit. As for the huge countries of the old days, which often had tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions, there will be no more now.

The reason is simple, the surface resources of the planet are limited, and there are no longer too many human beings.

Therefore, a force like the Mastiff Dragon Base may have only been equivalent to a township in the old era, and Ye Hanfeng was at best the identity of a town mayor. But in this era, it is already a behemoth within a radius of hundreds of kilometers.

The armed force of hundreds of people is enough to ensure the survival of a medium-sized base, and now Qin Feng doesn't have to pay anything, he can get it with just a promise, which shows Ye Hanfeng's sincerity.

Of course, he didn't want to be too constrained now, so after thinking about it for a while, he said, "Then I'll choose the second one and form a mercenary team on my own." Of course, as long as the base and the city lord are in need, I will never sit idly by. ”

"So, that's it,"

Ye Hanfeng said: "You can recruit people in the outer city, and the weapons, equipment, and ammunition you need will be provided at a seven-percent discount on the base side, and you will be given a piece of station." Later, your team can take up tasks at the union. ”

"In exchange, once the base is attacked by a foreign enemy, you need to lead your men into battle."

"Very well, I have no objection." Qin Feng agreed.

The fourth lady immediately took out a paper agreement text, and the various terms on it had already been drafted, and after Qin Feng saw it and felt that there was no problem, he signed his name.

In this day and age, the effectiveness of an agreement is better than nothing, and many times it is just a formality, but something is better than nothing.

Seeing Qin Feng signing, Ye Hanfeng breathed a sigh of relief.

In fact, he has been observing Qin Feng, but with his excellent cultivation, he can't see through the depth of this young man, so he has never had a bottom in his heart. Otherwise, he might not be as easy to talk as he is now.
