Chapter 066: No One Will Stand Still
That's not what the primitive physical qualities of human beings can achieve. That's superman!
And the person with such terrifying abilities turned out to be the burly man in front of him?
Powerful, it's not enough to describe him ...
Taking a deep breath, Jack suppressed the shock in his heart. Then he asked slowly.
"Yes, I guessed it. You saved me? Jack was still going to ask in person.
"Save you? Yes, I saved you. You're about to become a mutant meal. Solomon thought about it and asked the waiter to pour himself a glass of wine.
said: "I happened to be passing by at that time, and I saw that the situation was critical, I don't know why, maybe I saw you and rescued you."
You may have been abandoned by your teammates on the same mission, or for some other reason you were left alone waiting for a large number of mutants to 'come to you'!
However, I don't have the time to care about your, and I'm not your babysitter. I'm willing to come to your rescue, and I haven't figured out why until now. β
"But you're a good kid, you can kill so many mutants. Relative to your level, he is also a good mercenary seedling. Solomon muttered a few words, then waved his hand.
"I hate to be verbose. Let's get straight to the point. I've got a crush on you... How about being my subordinate? β
βοΌοΌοΌβ This sentence surprised Jack, but it was not surprising either. With Solomon's experience, if he had no value to save, Solomon would never have made a move.
Jack's eyes widened, even though he had already guessed Solomon's intentions.
But when he came up with it, Jack still couldn't believe his ears. This is the most direct invitation from a seventh-level cosmic mercenary!
Being able to fight with a cosmic mercenary who is stronger than him can not only increase the survival rate of doing tasks, but also learn from him the experience of advancing to level seven.
How many low-level cosmic mercenaries fight desperately every year, just hoping to be recommended by the cosmic mercenary union, so that they can be favored by a certain cosmic mercenary above level seven?
And such hope was actually in front of him at this moment, and Jack almost thought he was dreaming.
A brief shock was followed by a long silence. Jack sat quietly in his chair, his head bowed.
Solomon didn't rush either, because he could understand Jack's feelings. It's the same as when he first met his boss.
The inheritance of cosmic mercenaries is a bit weird, except for the cosmic mercenary union that will be recommended on a small scale from time to time, most of the cosmic mercenaries have come from trainee warriors step by step.
After experiencing the baptism of blood and fire, this can become a real cosmic mercenary.
The treatment of cosmic mercenaries is very good, and their status in most high-level planet worlds is very high.
But this is only the surface, in fact, this profession is very cruel. Every year, countless newcomers die in the line of duty.
Because they do the most dangerous work in the universe, a battle that never stops! Able to accept this, and bear it without going crazy...... Definitely not the average person!
Solomon was optimistic about Jack because he felt a familiar smell in Jack. A taste that is calm in the face of blood.
Only this kind of person is the most suitable person to become a cosmic mercenary and become a strong person who stands out among thousands of people.
Silent... It will eventually be broken. After an unknown amount of time, Jack took a sip of the flying spirits in his glass, and finally spoke firmly:
"I accept the invitation of the adults, but the matter of my mission this time..."
"That's not a problem. Someone will take care of it for you. Solomon smiled.
"You may not know that behind every cosmic mercenary above level 7 there are thousands of people who serve him, and they have some privileges.
You don't need to worry about these trivial matters at all, they will professionally help you deal with all your worries. β
"In that case......" Jack looked up, a determined look in his eyes.
"Then I don't have anything to think about. Should I call you master now? β
"Haha, it's up to you. I prefer to be called by my first name, or to call me an adult. Solomon waved his hand.
"In fact, being my subordinate is not as lowly as you think, and the status will be improved.
You're still a ninth-level cosmic mercenary. You can continue to take on your own tasks, or you can continue to go it alone.
It's just that according to the rules of the Cosmic Mercenary Association, you must accompany me to fight a certain number of times, and follow me in battles for two years before you can obtain the official qualification to be my direct subordinate.
You'll find out when you follow me back to the 'Baker' Star Universe Mercenary Association Branch. I think you need to learn a few more things to become my official subordinates. β
"Yes, I see." Jack nodded earnestly and took note of Solomon's words.
From now on, he will be Solomon's apprentice.
Although he lost his precious freedom, he was given a rare opportunity for promotion.
It's going to be a bloody road, and Jack doesn't plan to make any mistakes.
At this point in the conversation, the two have made a good start.
Solomon then summoned an attendant and asked him to take Jack to familiarize himself with the ship. They are now on a medium-sized space cruiser.
There is still some time before reaching the eighth-level planet 'Baker'. During this time, Jack has to familiarize himself with the change of identity.
Changing into an exclusive combat uniform with a black tiger head on his chest, Jack handed over his level 9 cosmic mercenary badge to Solomon's attendant to update the information.
Jack became Solomon's apprentice. Looking at the starry sky outside the spaceship's window, a trace of confusion flashed in his eyes.
At this time, Jack suddenly remembered the young man he met on the 779 garbage star, and his ability to 'stand still in time' was still fresh in Jack's memory.
Jack thought that if he became a cosmic mercenary, too. Then, for sure, he will also become a strong man.
Everyone has secrets, Ye Chen treats him as a friend, and he also treats Ye Chen as a friend.
Ye Chen had the ability to 'stand still in time', he would not tell Solomon.
After all, the two sides had just come into contact now, and he didn't know what Solomon's behavior was.
But what Jack didn't know was that when he told Solomon that he had a friend who had the ability to 'stand still in time', it was the saddest time of his life......
It's still some time before we get to 'Baker'. Jack now has plenty of time to rest. He just hung out on the space cruiser.
Having obtained the status of a trainee subordinate, his activities are no longer restricted.
I met a lot of attendants along the way, and when I saw Jack, I respectfully retreated and saluted.
After walking for a while, Jack realized that he didn't understand anything, so he beckoned an attendant and asked him to take him on a tour.
As the two walked, the attendant explained to Jack. Only then did Jack realize that the name of the space cruiser under his feet was 'Black Tiger'.
It is not an ordinary medium-sized cruiser, but a space battleship specially customized by Lord Solomon, a seventh-level cosmic mercenary.
Although this space battleship is only a medium-sized space cruiser, Lord Solomon has invested most of his wealth in this space battleship.
Later, when Jack asked Solomon, he didn't care about waving his hand, saying that the space battleship was a life-saving thing for the space mercenaries, but it was not sloppy.
Therefore, the combat effectiveness of this space cruiser is very amazing, and it is more powerful than the average army-standard heavy battleship.
Generally speaking, cosmic mercenaries above level 7 basically carry one, or even several cosmic warships, with them on missions.
There are even legends that cosmic mercenaries above the third level will take a whole powerful cosmic fleet with them when they go on a mission.
According to the current basic fleet establishment of various countries and forces, that is at least tens of thousands of space warships, what a powerful combat power this is!
At present, as for the combat effectiveness of the battleships carried by the cosmic mercenaries above level seven, it depends on the strength of the cosmic mercenaries, and of course it can also be called the embodiment of financial resources.
After all, as soon as the cannon goes off, there are ten thousand taels of gold.
To fight a war is to burn money, this is a problem that idiots know, not to mention building a powerful space fleet and carrying out daily maintenance, this consumption is absolutely astronomical.
In the wide passage, Jack followed the attendant for a while, and suddenly saw several special partitions, which were inlaid with a large metal box of a long shape.
The top of each box is very sharp, and the length of the whole box is more than 10 meters. So, Jack couldn't help but ask curiously, "What is this?" β
"Thisβ" The squire gave Jack a complicated look before explaining. This is the cosmic assault capsule, we all call it the iron coffin. β
"Why?"
"Because it's the assault vehicle used by the space mercenaries on their missions. There is not much protection, and the impact is extremely strong when landing.
Because it is designed for cosmic mercenaries above level 7, it is ...... for cosmic mercenaries below level 7 to use it."
The squire didn't continue, but Jack understood what he meant.
Universe mercenaries above level 7 are all strong people who have experienced a hundred battles and have successfully evolved, and their physical fitness is naturally not comparable to ordinary universe mercenaries.
This vehicle is designed for assault use, and security is definitely sacrificed for the sake of extremely fast assault speeds.
A level 7 cosmic mercenary can rely on his strong physical fitness and ignore the damage caused by this powerful impact.
But the low-level cosmic mercenary is miserable, which can be heard from its nickname.
But seeing this vehicle, Jack remembered the fireball that fell from the sky. Presumably, this was the one that Lord Solomon rode in the first place.
What a domineering outfit.
If you don't have the strength, even if you sit on it, you'll die, right?
Next, Jack followed his attendants to visit a few places, this was the first time he had taken such an advanced space battleship, so he was naturally interested in everything.
The attendant was not too troublesome and explained them to him one by one. They didn't stop until they approached a special alloy gate.
The squire said to Jack solemnly. "We can't go any further."
"Why?"
"Up front is the equipment room, where Lord Solomon's battle mech is stored. No one is allowed to enter without permission. β
"Oh." Jack glanced at the huge alloy door in front of him.
As if noticing that something was wrong with his eyes, the squire said to him again:
"Lord Jack, please don't worry, when we arrive at the 'Baker' Star Universe Mercenary Branch, we will naturally equip you with a new battle mech and other equipment. Lord Solomon will pay for you. β
"Payment? What do you mean? β
"Oh, yes. Because the relationship between the mercenaries and the headquarters is mercenary, the headquarters cannot directly issue orders to the mercenaries, and can only issue them in the form of tasks. We also commercialize resources.
Therefore, in addition to the most basic equipment, mercenaries must pay gold or credits to obtain resources.
Of course, credits in the interstellar virtual network are also possible. The equipment of subordinate mercenaries belongs to this part. β
That's the end of the tour. Although there were still some places he hadn't visited, Jack decided to give up. Anyway, he still has time in the future.
So Jack was led by his attendant back to the room where he had just seen Lord Solomon, and found that Lord Solomon was not there.
He walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, asked the attendant to bring another glass of flying spirits, and quietly looked at the vast starry sky outside the window.
Some people like a comfortable life, but in this age of discovery, is there a truly comfortable place? Jack thought so.
Jack knew he had embarked on a bloody path and there was no turning back. He just has to keep going, move forward... Until, at the end of his life.
No one is going to stand still.
