Chapter XVIII: The Guild

When Ji Zihe pushed the door in, the scene in front of him surprised Ji Zihe.

I thought it would be a very noisy place, full of all kinds of peculiar smells, spitting stars flying around, drinking wine and boasting about his past, the kind of wild man who fights if he doesn't agree with a word, and a beautiful woman with a revealing dress, a hot body, and a charming face.

Unexpectedly, the inside is not only very quiet, but also very tidy. The scene in front of him, if it weren't for the fact that there were indeed stones erected outside, with the five big characters of the Mercenary Guild written on them, Ji Zihe would even think that this was a library.

There are a large number of books on the first floor, the entire mercenary guild is circular, with a diameter of nearly fifty meters, and in the place where it is attached to the wall, there are many books neatly placed.

In the center is a square reception desk. Ji Zihe looked at the layout and imagined the overlook of this building, the sky is round, just like the ancient Chinese copper coin, with round square holes.

The layout of the entire first floor, not very luxurious, but very quiet, although it is not a library, but in fact, there is no difference from the library, the ground is very clean, some of them are reading books on the seats, and some people are sitting on the ground, focusing on reading materials.

Ji Zihe walked to the reception of the square platform.

A receptionist sitting at the reception looked at Ji Zihe, who was walking towards him, quickly stood up and said with a smile: "Is there anything I can help you with?" ”

Is it such a high level of professionalism? At this time, the first thought that came to Ji Zihe's heart at that time.

"Excuse me, is this really a mercenary guild?" Ji Zihe looked around cautiously and asked in a low voice.

"Yes, do you have any commissions?" The reception staff said, looking at the cautious Ji Zihe, the girl at the reception, couldn't help laughing softly.

"I want to be a mercenary, do I need to do anything?" Ji Zihe said

Looking at the teenage boy in front of him, he said, "If you want to become a mercenary, please go to the reception desk in the same location on the second floor." ”

"Thank you." Ji Zihe said.

Ji Zihe came to the second floor, and there was no one on it, Ji Zihe asked, "I want to be a mercenary, do you have any requirements?" ”

"There are no special requirements, you just need to pass the assessment." Said the receptionist.

"What is the assessment?" Ji Zihe asked.

"Before that, what type of mercenary do you want to be?" Said the receptionist.

"What are they?" Ji Zihe was stunned for a moment, and then asked

"First, the type of intelligence gathering is collectively referred to as 'rats'.

Second, the combat type that explores unknown areas is collectively referred to as 'Eagle'.

Third, mercenaries who maintain urban security. Collectively referred to as 'wolves'.

Fourth, the type of retired mercenaries who cultivate potential seeds. Collectively referred to as 'Factory'.

Fifth, the type of assassination is mainly referred to as 'falcon'. ”

"The hardest part is probably the 'rat'." Ji Zihe asked when he remembered the terrifying probability of becoming a 'rat'.

"That's right. The most difficult of all the tests is the 'rat'. ’”

"Okay, since that's the case, then I'll challenge the easiest, which one?"

looked at Ji Zihe, who was ambitious just now, and suddenly said this, and the reception opened his mouth and was stunned.

"That's the Eagle."

"Well, that's it, but is there a specific requirement for dividing these five types? Since it is divided into five types, there must be corresponding quality requirements. ”

"Well, you're right. To become an 'Eagle', all you need is the strength of a Level 3 Ability, and there are no other requirements. ”

"What about the others?"

"The next thing is the 'wolf' who maintains the security of the city, and becoming this kind of mercenary requires him to have a sense of teamwork, and if he has a strong personality, he is not suitable for this category."

"Then there is the 'Falcon', which requires extremely explosive power, as well as strong stealth and endurance."

"The next thing is the 'factory', becoming a mercenary of this kind is mainly to train new people, and this type of requires the ability to express themselves clearly."

"Finally, there is the 'rat', which requires the ability to observe, analyze, reason, express, hide, track, anti-track, adapt, judge, forbearance, the ability to see the big picture, self-awareness, high and strong strength, and finally the most important self-sacrifice."

In this society where the hierarchy determines everything, I don't know how the original Qin Zu made the empire progress so much, it seems that this society is not the kind of deep-rooted hierarchy that determines everything, it seems that in the past three years, as I continue to know this empire, the original idea is slowly changing, Tiancheng is indeed too closed.

"Well, after listening to your explanation, and with a clear self-awareness, I finally decided...."

The reception looked at Ji Zihe with anticipation, and after his own introduction, the young man in front of him may challenge a higher difficulty.

"Let's be an eagle."

Ji Zihe said a little deflated.

"Then please wait."

Ji Zihe's self-ridicule successfully aroused the smiling face of the reception.

"Look, maybe you didn't notice it yourself, but you actually look good when you smile."

Maybe it's Wang Yi's cheerful personality and the pleasant atmosphere of the 'hive' that are slowly changing his personality.

Ji Zihe thought secretly.

"Thank you for the compliment."

The receptionist replied with a blushing face.

"The way you blush is actually beautiful."

Ji Zihe praised him from the bottom of his heart this time.

Hearing Ji Zihe's heartfelt praise this time, he blushed and received a little hurriedly.

On Earth, girls who blush are almost rare. And in the three years I have been in this world, not to mention the contact with girls, even the most time I talked to my roommate, it was the roommate who answered me why this broken academy was established in such a desolate place.

"Now it's just a matter of guiding the elements into this test ball."

Then the elemental ball, which depicts seven lines, successfully lit up three.

"Isn't there a total of ten levels? Why are there only seven lines on it? ”

"I'm sorry, but I don't know why."

"Okay."

"Speaking of which, what exactly is the first floor used for?"

Ji Zihe seemed to think of something and suddenly asked.

"This is some basic knowledge and information stored on the first floor of various mercenary agencies, similar to the academy, but unlike the academy, we do not teach here, in each mercenary agency, it is the 'factory' that is responsible for educating newcomers, and some of the specific skills they teach will not be recorded here."

"In this way, I thought the mercenaries were very noisy and messy, but I didn't expect it to be here, it really surprised me." Ji Zihe said.

"Well, you're right, the development of mercenaries is divided into three periods, and you are talking about the earliest period." The reception said.

"Three periods?" Ji Zihe wondered.

"Yes, if you are interested, I can explain it to you briefly." The reception said.

"Then please." Ji Zihe said.

"The first period, as you say, was very noisy and chaotic, and the mercenaries of that period were strictly mercenaries, a group of unscrupulous people for the sake of profit, and before the formation of the state, various family institutions and mercenaries fought day and night.

The second stage can be said to be mercenaries, at the beginning of the formation of the empire, due to the strong pressure of the imperial law, when the empire and the Shen family had a war that lasted for more than a thousand years, the mercenaries were hired by the state and the Shen family.

At this time, Qin Zu not only did not fear, but drove the wolf and devoured the tiger, how did he finally establish our current safe city, to be honest, with my ability, I can't understand how Qin Zu did it, I'm sorry. ”

The receptionist said with adoration on his face.

But when he saw Ji Zihe, who was looking at him with a smile on his face and listening to what he was talking about, she knew that she was off topic.

"I'm very sorry, but the third stage is this stage. That's what you see and hear. ”

"I didn't expect the development of mercenaries to be like this."

"Now that I've finished testing, what am I going to do to become a mercenary in the agency?"

"You can go to a mercenary agency for an interview."

"Noodles... Interview? And this kind of operation? ”

Ji Zihe asked in a sharp voice.

It is confirmed that this Qin Zu is definitely not Qin Shi Huang himself.

"Where am I going for an interview?"

"Find any mercenary agency and then enlist as an eagle to become a mercenary for that agency. Of course, the specific requirements of the kind of institutions that can be ranked depend on their own regulations. ”

"That's right, thank you. Then goodbye. ”

"I wish you success."

"Oh, yes." Ji Zihe said as if he had thought of something: "Life never lacks beauty, what is lacking is only the eyes to find beauty."

You have to tell yourself every day that you are the best, that you are more beautiful and beautiful today than you were yesterday. ”

"Life is never short of beauty, is it only the eyes that find beauty?" The reception savored these words, and then bowed to Ji Zihe, who had already left.

"Thank you."
