Chapter 19: The Demon Hunters' Guild
Slap in the face, slap in the face. The rising sun didn't have the face to stay any longer, so he quickly withdrew after a few perfunctory words.
With the curtain call of this year's ring competition, a new overlord of the Ξ± galaxy has emerged, that is, the Yin and Yang Society, and the rookie president is also famous and has captured a large number of fans. And because the name of rookie really does not match Wang Yi's strength, everyone also gave Wang Yi a loud nickname: ghost beast.
Just when the Yin and Yang Society was celebrating, Wang Yi was no longer online. After finishing the work, there are more important things for him.
Deep in the ocean away from the Ordovician coastline, Phoenicia is a small island of rocks and reefs that is not inhabitable, but it is home to the headquarters of the Demon Hunters' Guild. Because the Demon Hunter Guild is a neutral organization, the Demon Hunter Guild has branches all over Solomon Star, with Phoenicia being the only headquarters. For the sake of secrecy, the Demon Hunter Guild did not construct any structures on the island to avoid being discovered by passing ships and planes. The true secret of the guild is hidden in the interior of the entire island, and Wang Yi is now in it.
The elevator descends rapidly, and each floor has a different purpose, and the higher the authority of the guild members, the deeper the floor they can enter. Wang Yi's current authority can only reach the seventh floor underground, and the floors below are not accessible to him.
The Demon Hunter's Guild has seven underground floors. As soon as the elevator door opened, Wang Yi's eyes lit up. It is a dome-like hall, and the huge chandelier hanging from the ceiling illuminates the whole hall as if it were daylight. Smooth marble slabs cover the past all the way to an erected holographic projection screen.
This is the trading hall of the Demon Hunters' Guild, and you can see all kinds of people coming and going. There are young and beautiful women, muscular hunk men, or old men with bent waists. Outwardly, you can't tell the difference between a demon hunter and a normal person, as most demon hunters don't wear fancy dresses.
A small half-human-tall robot greeted Wang Yi, and its way of walking was clumsy and cute, and its front and rear legs seemed to be rubbing against the ground. The robot is not highly anthropomorphic, and due to the uncanny valley theory (when a robot resembles a human beyond a certain level, the reaction suddenly becomes extremely disgusting), the robot is made of only smooth white metal modules.
"Hello, please show your ID." The robot said in an electronic voice.
Wang Yi clicked on his light, and a laser drilled into the robot's head. His Eccerain is still the same old antique from a few years ago, but in terms of performance, it is much stronger than the best Accelink on the market, because his Acouster has been transformed by Mercury and the Demon Hunter Guild, and its various functions are extremely powerful.
The robot made a "beep" sound, and then a mechanical female voice said, "The identity of the demon hunter is confirmed." β
"This robot looks really annoying, it's stupid." Mercury said dissatisfied.
Wang Yi pouted, he thought this robot was quite cute.
"Hello, Mr. Wang Yi, it is a pleasure to serve you, what business do you need to handle?" The robot asked politely.
"I want to redeem my points."
"Please follow me."
The people in the hall were in a hurry, and few people spoke, and even if they did, they only whispered a few words. Wang Yi followed the robot all the way to an empty window.
"Redeeming points?" A middle-aged salesman chewing gum asked.
Wang Yi sat down and said, "Yes, I want to know how many guild points I have now. β
Transactions in the Demon Hunter's Guild are not settled in the currencies of the two empires, but through guild points. Guild Points can be earned by completing a variety of quests.
"You have a total of 16,000 points now, do you need to exchange anything for it?"
Wang Yi looked up at the holographic screen in the hall, and strings of red data scrolled across the screen.
"Medium-grade snakegrass, 300 points."
"100 rounds of first-level magic breaking bullets, 200 points."
"Lightweight Star Iron Psionic Armor, 500 points."
ββ¦β¦β
When the data rolled to a point, Wang Yi's eyes narrowed.
"Imperial Royal Military Academy Recommendation Letter, 15000 points."
If Xie Hui hadn't agreed to help him recommend, he would have had to buy this letter of recommendation with all his might.
"Does the guild have any speed-based martial arts?" Wang Yi asked.
"Speed-type martial arts are rare, I'll look for them."
After operating for a long time, the salesman shrugged helplessly: "I'm sorry, there is no information on any speed martial arts displayed in the warehouse with level 7 permission, and this kind of scarce low-level warehouse will not be stored." β
Wang Yi was a little disappointed, but the result was expected.
"Rare metals." Mercury said suddenly.
"Rare metals? Why do I want this? Wang Yi asked in his heart.
"Haven't you always wanted to set up a real mecha to open up, counting on you to enter the military's mecha unit doesn't know the Year of the Monkey, it's better to make a mecha." Mercury said.
"Homemade?" Wang Yi was taken aback.
"It's impossible, even if I have the materials, I don't have the technology." Wang Yi smiled bitterly.
"You don't have what I have, as long as you keep upgrading I can slowly restore my database, and when the time comes, combined with your existing technology, I will definitely be able to create a super mecha." Mercury swore by it.
"What about the venue, how to solve it?"
"Just find a few factories and process the parts separately, there are so many pure robot factories now, no one will ask you what you do." Mercury said.
Self-made mecha is illegal in both empires, and it is difficult to buy molded mecha even on the black market, and there are scrap and semi-finished products, but they are rare. The two empires must have strict control over this ultimate weapon. Mercury was very thoughtful, and Wang Yi was moved when he heard it.
Mecha, this is my own mecha.
"I want rare metals." Wang Yi said to the salesman.
"Are you sure you want rare metals? I warn you that rare metals are very expensive and of little practical use. The salesman kindly reminded.
Wang Yi smiled and said, "I think about it, I want rare metals, you can just get it for me." β
After speaking, Wang Yi said more than a dozen rare metals according to what Mercury taught him.
Rare metals are too expensive, and 500 grams of high-purity black iron essence alone cost more than 3,000 points. More than a dozen rare metals plus one piece does not exceed ten kilograms.
Wang Yi spent all the 16,000 points in one go, and stored all the rare metals he bought in the safe of the Demon Hunter Guild before leaving. If it weren't for the Demon Hunter's Guild, such a large amount of rare metal trading would have to go through layers of strict approval. Outside the rare metal is basically priceless, and without a background, you can't buy it with more money.
Wang Yi was about to leave, but was suddenly stopped by a robot.
"Wang Yi, you have a new task to be completed, please claim it immediately."
Wang Yi said suspiciously: "I haven't taken on any new tasks recently, is it a mistake?"
"It's not an individual mission, it's a group mission, and all demon hunters who don't have a mission on their part will participate." The robot said.
Wang Yi is even more strange, the Demon Hunter Guild has always been a relatively loose and free organization, and it is generally not mandatory to issue tasks to demon hunters, unless there is an emergency.
"What's the mission?"
"There is a passenger ship in the waters near Phoenicia that is being attacked by a monster, and the passenger ship sent a call for help ten minutes ago, the details of which are currently unknown. Now it's up to the free Demon Hunters to come to the rescue. This mission rewards 30 points, and you can also choose not to accept the mission, but you will be deducted 50 points as a penalty. β
Wang Yi was speechless, he didn't expect to encounter such a stubble at this time. However, Wang Yi still has a great sense of justice, the passenger ships are all civilians, and there is no way to compete with the ferocious demonic beasts, and the demon hunters must take care of this matter.
"Take me to the hangar, I've accepted the task." Wang Yi said.
The robot guided Wang Yi to the hangar, where a helicopter was already waiting for someone. However, there was no one in the plane.
"What's the matter, why isn't there anyone?" Wang Yi was dumbfounded.
"With the exception of the Demon Hunter who has a mission outside, all the idle Demon Hunters have chosen to refuse to accept this mission. So far, you're the only one taking on the task. The robot replied.
"Damn, cheat!" Wang Yi called out.
These people don't have a sense of justice, and they don't accept this kind of life-saving task. But it's also to blame the mission hall of the Demon Hunter Guild, the reward for completing this task is only 30 points, and the Warcraft that can attack passenger ships must also have a D-class, which is obviously a thankless errand. Just do another task, not only the points are higher than this, but also the difficulty is small, and 50 points can be earned back in a blink of an eye.
Well, since no one else wants to come, then buddy will do it himself!
Wang Yi drove the starships very slippery in the boot training camp, and a helicopter naturally couldn't beat him.
"Tell me the coordinates." Wang Yi said to the robot.
After the robot said the coordinates of the place where the incident occurred, Wang Yi did not delay for a second, and sat in the cockpit and flew to the coordinate location with the helicopter.
The fifteenth basement floor of the Demon Hunter's Guild is the highest council chamber of the guild. A group of well-dressed middle-aged people sat around a round table, apparently discussing something big.
"President, why are you posting this strange mission? No one would accept such a low point reward. Someone asked.
A middle-aged man with a serious expression sitting in the first seat snorted coldly: "The young man nowadays is too impetuous, and he is not even willing to do important things related to human life, how can I send him to protect such an important person." I don't believe we don't have a responsible person. β
Everyone smiled bitterly, why did the president suddenly become so naΓ―ve, you talk about responsibility with a group of mercenary demon hunters, isn't this playing the piano to the cow? It's a pity that they can't refute it, because the stakes are really high.
"President, someone has taken over the task!" Suddenly, someone was surprised.
"Oh, just one person?" The elder frowned.
"Yes, my name is Wang Yi, and I have just joined the club for a year."
"I'll take his information over and I'll take a look, and send someone to record the process of his mission, our people should have already arrived in the sea area where the incident occurred, try to let Wang Yi play by himself without hurting the passengers, and if his mission fails, he will send people to rescue the passengers."
"Don't worry, President, our people have secretly boarded the ship, as long as the situation is slightly wrong, we can kill that demonic beast, and the passenger ship is relatively strong, it can still last for a while."
"Good! The stakes are high and the safety of all passengers must be ensured. The president wiped the sweat from his forehead with a white handkerchief and commanded.
