Chapter 23: Old Friends
Two people, one tall and one short, came out of the grass, one of whom was a man with a beard, and smiled at him: "Xiong Tai, why don't you join my camp." β
Listening to the voice, he actually had a rough idea of who it was, and sure enough, with the mentality of not admitting defeat, Frey immediately knew who this person was.
It's really Xiong Tai.
It's just that Xiong Tai today is no longer the Xiong Tai of the school and the Hunter Association, and compared with that time, he is now a little bloody.
With a little stubble on his resolute face, he had grown into a rough man, and then, his head seemed to be in danger during the mission, and now half of his head was inlaid with metal.
Xiong Tai turned around and was about to scold angrily, but when he saw the familiar beard coming from behind, he was immediately overjoyed and said, "We haven't seen you for a long time, Frey~By the way, it's been a long time since I've seen him~"
"Three years and ten months~" Frey smiled slightly.
"I thought it was still those guys who were here to laugh at me, by the way, how long have you been here?" Xiong Tai asked.
"I saw you being pinned to the ground by five people and beaten up like crazy." Frey smiled.
It seems that he is the only one who dares to say this, and if others say it to him, he may suffer.
Xiong Tai was silent, patted the dirt on his ass and stood up.
......
"By the way, Xiong Tai, I haven't been concerned about the association in the past few years, and now I still know where to gather people?" As the three of them walked, Frey suddenly spoke.
"The current situation can be said to be a headache, and the number of sacrifices is increasing year by year, but the most troublesome situation now is that the hunter group has lost its fighting spirit, and it is true that many teams have more vacancies." Xiong Tai shook his head and continued: "There are too few people, and most hunters are just to survive, and it can even be said that the number of ordinary tasks has increased many times, sometimes even ordinary dangerous tasks will be accompanied by a large mortality rate, and the recent missions are not as smooth as in the past, like I have encountered several emergencies, even if most teams are short of people, there are more and more old players like me who are excluded, don't worry, I know a lot of people, If I can, I can introduce you to a few. β
"How is Wu Hua?"
Frey nodded in agreement, but someone suddenly came to his mind, and he hurriedly responded to Xiong Tai.
"I remember that in the second year of the Hunter Association's signs, his two elder brothers participated in the assessment again, this time his two elder brothers also became hunters, but the ending of these three brothers was a bit miserable, they were surrounded by insects during a mission, and it seemed that only Wu Hua survived that accident, and so far he has become a mourning star that no one wants to come to."
"The death of the mission is not terrible, but it is more important that his fate is too strong, and even if he teams up with him, he will definitely encounter death, and whether it is the destruction of the team, it is the death of a large area of the team's basic personnel, and now no one wants to team up with him, he has become a marginal figure in the Hunter Association for four consecutive years, if he is not accepted by the team, he may be deprived of the hunter qualification." Xiong Tai is like a knowledge base, saying whatever comes to mind.
"Now the association has changed its rules?" Frey didn't remember that the guild had such a rule and disqualification, which would be completely uncompetitive if it were for those old hunters who had passed the fighting age, and even basic survival could not be guaranteed.
Although this is also to spur those prestigious teams to be able to take on some high-risk, high-reward tasks, while reducing the consumption of those daily and basic tasks, even ten of the daily and basic tasks are not as much as the high-risk tasks.
But if it is in the face of death, then these daily tasks that can be easily obtained, and tasks with no content will become fragrant and sweet.
How many teams are rushing for these tasks, and they have already grabbed red eyes.
Frey thinks that this may be the ghost of those new races of Zerg, who are no longer so brainless and brainless, and there is a group of intelligent creatures behind them.
So much so that the Hunters Guild has paid so much price, but it is already going downhill.
Most hunters would rather redeem basic quests with a quota and survive in a mess than easily touch high-risk quests covered in rhetoric.
While the rewards are great, the risks come with death.
Once you die, you will get nothing, life withering is the most realistic thing, and everything is powerless in front of life.
"What about the Wuhua people?" Frey asked again.
Xiong Tai held his chin, hesitated for a moment, and said indifferently: "I work as a waiter in the commissary of the association." β
"Waiter? Thisβ" Frey sighed a little, "isn't it overkill." β
"Well, it's a little, if I had to be an instructor or something, he would actually go to work as a waiter." Xiong Tai smiled awkwardly.
"Where, take me to him." Frey asked.
"Well, it's better not to, that guy has a stubborn temper, it should be difficult to please him." Xiong Tai said.
"Well, it's okay, he still owes me a promise to definitely absorb him into the team." Frey Dao.
"Okay, come with me."
Xiong Tai also can't do anything about him, at this time, being a dead horse as a live horse doctor is also the only way out, maybe he can succeed?
The two followed Xiong Tai to a building, and soon, to the commissary on the executive floor on the second floor.
A young man with a little fair skin, dressed in white clothes, was fiddling with a large string of balls in his hand, stirring in the soup with floating chili peppers.
There were many people around him.
Being a waitress sometimes does have to be very angry, being called around by rude hunters.
Wu Hua is one of the few good-natured people, trying to reply to these rude guests.
The customer is God, and it doesn't go anywhere.
"Come, menu~"
Xiong Tai sat back in the chair with ease, snapped his fingers busily, and hurriedly responded.
Wu Hua came to the table here in shock, and there were two familiar people sitting in the seat, and they were all people he knew.
Still acting very calm, he said, "Oh? Think of something delicious and call me over. β
"Well, don't think about it, are you happy working here?" Frey slid the menu into Xiong Tai's hand on the side.
"Well, I don't have to think about it, let's have a beef leg first, and chicken thigh rice, twice the amount of vegetable salad, and a glass of orange juice, this is my portion." Xiong Tai stupidly ordered the menu.
"It doesn't matter if I'm happy or not, the commissary doesn't provide customers with happiness, it mainly provides customers with food."
"And it may take some time for you to order, I'm going to make it for you right away." Wu Hua seems to be saying something.
