Chapter 55: The Test

A strange, sour feeling crept up on Chen An's head, as if he hadn't seen Linni smile when he joined, and people were sharing joy with him......

Knowing that the guy was using a strong mecha, the strange feeling was slightly alleviated, yes, the mercenary group urgently needed a strong mecha, when Chen Fang defined the new teammate as a strong mecha, not a person, his mentality gradually returned to balance.

"Let's rush back to the Mercenary Guild at once." Although it was still cold, Linny's anxiety was evident.

"You don't need to be so enthusiastic, right? Also rushed to pick up people? Chen Fang questioned, the difference is too obvious.

Linni glanced at him helplessly: "It's difficult to wait for a strong attack mecha, or I asked in advance, and people will help delay, if you go late, maybe it will be snatched away by other mercenary groups." And if you want this person, you have to take a look first, and then say, the matter has not been decided, is it possible for people to rush to Cardolan for an interview? It's strange that person took the initiative to inquire about our mercenary group. ”

Speaking of which, isn't it that the Strike Mecha has special treatment? But then again, the Strike Mecha is indeed the king of the mechas, the killing machine, the soul of the team, and there is even an extreme saying that a good team is to cooperate with the Strike Mecha as much as possible to release destruction.

In the hall of the Mercenary Association, a familiar figure made Chen Fang a little dazed.

"Hello, my name is Leo." The golden lion maintained his usual smile, which fascinated thousands of girls, but was unfortunately ignored by Linnie. Like Chen Fang, although he deliberately concealed his identity, he would not change his name, or change his surname, except for a few noble children, few people knew his name, and it didn't matter if he changed it or not.

"You're piloting a strike mech?"

Linnie glanced at Leao's size, it can be called a perfect combination of strength and flexibility, there is not much suspense, with such a physique but not choosing to attack the mecha, that person must be a fool.

Leo admits with certainty.

Linnie continued, "How do you think you are at piloting mechs?" ”

"It's okay." Under Chen Fang's powerful gaze, Leo's self-confidence was seriously lacking.

"Mercenary is a team profession that requires tacit understanding, if your skills are only passable, why should your teammates entrust your lives to you?" Linnie doesn't like teammates who lack self-confidence, considering the difficulty of finding a strong mech, she is ready to train a novice, the current team is not too difficult to train a novice, the key is whether the newcomer has the potential worth cultivating.

Leao was not slow to react, and immediately came to his senses, and said with an almost oath-like passion: "I know that no matter how brilliant my achievements are, I am not worth showing off in the world of mercenaries, but I am definitely a person worthy of my teammates' trust with my life, and in the same way, I am willing to entrust my life to my teammates, as for my skills, I am willing to accept your test." ”

The strong tone, coupled with the special temperament of the nobles, the sensational effect was extraordinary, which immediately made Linnie's opinion of him change: "The assessment is inevitable, you don't have to worry too much, you are still a novice, and you have never received the physical enhancement and skill training of the mercenary association, so the requirements for you should not be too high." ”

It seems to be too low...... no matter how you listen to this, it means to release water, and before Chen Fang interjected, I heard Lai Ao say: "Please rest assured, before joining the mercenaries, I received physical enhancement and skill training elsewhere, and I can immediately enter the battle, and I will never become a burden to the team." ”

Chen Fang is now also an old man of the mercenary group, and he asked in a very serious and responsible attitude towards the team: "I have strengthened it once, and I can't see the effect at present, so it is better to let me try him, and if I can win, I will let him join." ”

The golden lion was full of bitterness in the blink of an eye, taking advantage of the ignorance of others, and handed Chen Fang a look begging for mercy, if Chen Fang had the intention to make him ugly, I am afraid that before his poor skills can be displayed, the battle will be over.

Linnie hesitated: "Compete with you, I'm afraid Leao's winning chance is not big, and the victory or defeat can't be used as an assessment standard, besides, your two-gun control is too sharp, I want to see his true level, or I will try him myself." ”

Leo's face looked a little better.

Chen Fang insisted: "Then I don't have to double rob, I'll compete with him with my bare hands, is this okay?" ”

"No, you can't!" Leao shouted on the spot, the two guns are not necessarily so sharp, he only learned it not long ago, at best, it is a small trick that Chen Fang plays temporarily, his bare hands are the butcher's signature, according to past experience, it is a matter of moments to put him down.

"Why?" Linnie couldn't help but laugh, a powerful mech, saying that there should be no long-range mecha that should not be afraid to throw away the two guns.

"Can I talk to your teammates privately? Your teammates seem to have some preconceptions about me. Lai Ao thought about it again and again, no matter what weapon Chen Fang used, he would not have a chance of winning, and he would definitely lose very badly, not as good as Dao Ming's hard work.

"Whatever." Linny didn't think much about it, and pulled the fat woman into the distance.

There was no one around, and the lion immediately turned into a kitten: "I'm your opponent, so let my brother go!" ”

After all, they are brothers, Chen Fang is a little unbearable: "Let you go? You're not in the Imperial Academy, what kind of mercenary are you here? Did you leak my whereabouts? ”

Lai Ao complained: "The conscience of heaven and earth, as soon as you left that day, I rushed to your house, and your grandfather coerced and lured me, except for the news of your safety, I didn't say anything." ”

"And then?" Chen Fang still knows the lion, and it is impossible for him to lie to himself.

Recalling the scene at that time, the lion still trembles: "You don't know how scary it was at that time, your grandfather made me think about my future and the fate of my family, and I survived." ”

Chen Fang couldn't help but feel a little worried about him and his family: "Then ......"

"Then your grandfather suddenly laughed, and he said that he must have this loyalty to his brother, and then he will no longer inquire about your whereabouts, and let me come to your side with you, this cannot be called betraying you, who dares not to obey your grandfather's orders?"

Although it is far-fetched, the lion really has no choice.

Grandfather's temper is hot, so he ignores what causes Lai Ao to not be able to complete his mission, and if his orders are not carried out, someone will be unlucky, this trick is very clever, Chen Fang can only compromise.

"You stay here with me, what about your studies? You don't have to finish your studies at Imperial University? ”

Jin said weakly: "He wants me to see your situation, if your illness is indeed cured, you don't need to go back immediately, you can do what you want, but you must be admitted to the Imperial Academy, and you can arrange the time by yourself, this is his bottom line." ”

Now that he has recovered from his illness, Chen Fang has to be like other children of the Chen family, at least seek a high position in the political or military circles, so that it is convenient to contribute to the family in the future. Perhaps in the heart of his grandfather at this moment, this time away from home was just a small vacation for him.

The test of Leo is positioned in the next battle, in Linny's words, the battle is the best way to test the newcomer, in fact, it is to release the water, the test is invisibly canceled, as long as the performance in the battle is passable, Leo can continue to stay in the team.

Linnie also has a hard time, the current team urgently needs to attack the mecha, and there is no longer any delay, and then the selection of mechas, the choice of newcomers is extremely limited, Leo also chooses the classic among the civilian mechas, the wolf warrior, and the weapon chooses the customary long knife, which is not as good as the ion long knife, but the power is almost the same.

After a twenty-seven days of rest, a giant cargo ship laden with crystal oil departed from Cadolan.

"Tell us, what is the nobleman's banquet like?"

Countless times the thunderbolt bee asked, he was full of curiosity about the strange world, and Chen Fang's answer was always the same, no comment!

At this point, the thunderclap that had touched the nail would whisper to the fire ox and make all sorts of outrageous guesses, their imagination was poor and pitiful, and it was very vulgar, to put it mildly, wine and women, and Chen Fang couldn't bear to tell them that their guesses were true......

It was an established banquet, and it would be held with or without display, and old William's host just sent out an extra invitation.

Behind the banquet is an extremely unfair negotiation, they want to cooperate in the trafficking of crystal oil, they are not willing to take risks, they want to share half of the profits, this is the condition put forward by the other party, and they do not accept bargaining.

On the other hand, it's a fair trade, the refinery is the only place where you can buy crystalline oil, and working with them is the only way to keep the business going, otherwise they can always find someone else to work with. And listening to the other party's meaning, he has no intention of looking for other partners, which can be regarded as a trace of comfort in helplessness, and more importantly, by cooperating with them, the Shen family can gain benefits from other aspects.

There is no doubt that even if the Shen family gives up profits, they are not willing to miss the opportunity to tie up with the high-class nobles, Chen Fang accepted all the conditions on their behalf, and Shen Jun was once again affirmed by the family.

These transactions have little to do with the mercenary group, except that the cargo ship is slightly larger, and it carries more crystal oil, almost twelve times that of the last time, and correspondingly, the commission is also very generous as before, and it is still rich to hire a team of seven people composed of fourth-order mercenaries.

In addition, the mercenary group can still get half of the extra income, and Chardo can only usher in a cargo ship in two weeks, and the price fluctuates very amazingly, and what price it can sell depends on the market at that time, as well as the level of the sellers.

Although he was in the limelight in the Imperial Academy and the virtual confrontation system, Leo rarely came into contact with real mechas, and occasionally visited either in the pit or organized by the academy, and had a rare opportunity to drive, let alone fight, and the unknown journey made him feel novel, but also a little nervous, and more excited.

It was the dream of the two of them to fight side by side, but they both knew that the chances of this dream being realized were very slim.

When the dream was about to become a reality, Leo's voice was a little choked: "Brother, we can finally fight together!" ”

Chen Fang also sighed: "You probably wouldn't have thought that we would fight in this environment, right?" ”

Leo thought for a while and said: "I thought about fighting for the Empire, I thought about joining the Federation's anti-terrorist legion, but I didn't think about joining the mercenaries, it doesn't matter, as long as we two brothers are together, it doesn't matter what he is fighting for." ”

Chen Fang suddenly turned his face cold, and reminded seriously: "This is not a game on the virtual confrontation system, if you run into pirates later, you can give me a clever point." ”
