The private residence of the commander of defense, the nominal number 2 person in this No. 7 gathering place at this moment, is sitting in the study and pondering at the moment.

At this time, there was a knock on the door, and then a man pushed the door in.

"You're here, are you feeling better?" A rare smile finally appeared on the tense face of the defense commander, and across from him, stood a girl in red clothes and leather armor.

If Hong Yi was here, he would definitely be able to recognize this girl as the strong female evolutionary who killed the scorpion demon in the Valley of Troubled Times.

She looked indifferent, shook her head and said, "It's okay." ”

"That's good, I didn't want to send you this time to hunt down the ghost mother, but fortunately, nothing happened to you." The defense commander said with a loving face: "I came to you this time, there is something else, I want you to go to the Evolution Branch to be a teacher, this time the opening of the Evolution Branch in the slum is a big event, I believe that many people have been thinking about how to recruit those potential talents in the slum, we can't lag behind others in this matter, try to win over some potential people, and take advantage of this time, you can also rest and rest, no longer have to perform those dangerous tasks." ”

The girl in red frowned slightly, but still nodded and said, "I know, I'll go out if it's okay." ”

With that, turn around and leave.

The defense commander watched the girl in red walk out, his expression was a little gloomy, leaned back on the leather chair, and muttered: "After so long, are you still unwilling to forgive Dad?" Back then, your mother had an accident, and your father couldn't help himself. ”

……

In the slum, around a small two-story building, there are already a lot of people, the queue is a kilometer long, like a long snake, there are many people, there are many mouths, and it is very bustling and lively.

This is one of the registration points set up by the Evolution Branch in the slum, and the same registration point, there are four more in the entire slum, and the branches are in different areas, and each of them is overcrowded from the morning to the present.

If you want to apply for the Evolution Division, you must first apply, and after applying, you will not be able to take the entrance exam tomorrow.

Hong Yi looked at this long queue, and was a little speechless for a while, according to this situation, line up according to the normal way, even if it is dark, it can't be queued, but fortunately, this is in the slums, and the most important thing is the scalpers.

As long as you're willing to pay some SGD, you can sign up even if you don't have to queue up.

Hong Yi knew the way here, and saw that there were a few gangsters on the side of the team smoking inferior cigarettes, and immediately walked over.

When the gangsters saw Hong Yi coming over, they knew that business had come to the door, and one of them was holding a cigarette in his mouth, and said to Hong Yi with a smile: "Boy, do you want to sign up?" ”

Seeing Hong Yi nodding, the gangster immediately said: "Count your kid to find the right person, a fixed price, 500 Singapore dollars, I guarantee that you will be registered, but you have to pay the registration fee yourself." ”

500？

Hong Yi frowned, he inquired, the registration fee of the Evolution Branch is only 50 Singapore dollars, under normal circumstances, as long as people who are not particularly poor can afford it, but the price of this scalper is too expensive, and it has directly increased the registration fee tenfold.

This is a bit of a robbery while the fire is burning.

It is estimated that when he saw Hong Yi frowning, the gangster was immediately unhappy, and said, "What, it's too expensive?" Tell you, 500 is the current price, see it, this line has been lined up a kilometer away, you row yourself, you can't line up after dark, you have to increase the price for a while, buy it or not? Hurry up. ”

After such a while, a few of these gangsters have sold several places, the transaction is very simple, you need to fill out a form to register, someone will arrange it in front, and you can get the stamped registration form back in a while, and you can take the exam tomorrow with this registration form.

Of course Hong Yi wants to buy it, he doesn't have time to line up here, today he also plans to buy the evolution program and evolution potion to open the brain domain of the white star level, in addition to that, he has to go to the wild to appease the smoke fart, if he doesn't touch the smoke fart for a long time, in case the domestication fails, it will be troublesome, so Hong Yi has no time to waste here.

But as soon as he was about to pay the money, a person came over there, and hurriedly came over after seeing Hong Yi.

"Brother Yi, it turns out that you are here, but let me find it easily!" This person was panting, and it was estimated that he had run all the way, and Hong Yi recognized that this was the thin monkey, the guy who followed the mad dog.

"You're looking for me?" Hong Yi looked at the thin monkey and asked, the latter nodded, wiped the sweat on his head, and then took out a registration form and said: "Brother Dog knows that you must register, so I will complete the formalities for you in the morning, and just go to the exam with me tomorrow." ”

Hong Yi stared at the registration form in the thin monkey's hand, hesitated for a moment, and finally took it.

Seeing Hong Yi accept it, the thin monkey was obviously very happy, turned his head to look at the gangster, and scolded: "Damn, keep your eyes open in the future, this is Brother Yi, you dare to take his money, don't you want to mix it up?" ”

The thin monkey is half a head shorter than the gangster, but the other party is very respectful to the thin monkey, just now when he heard the thin monkey call Hong Yi 'Brother Yi', he already knew that he was in trouble, and at this moment he directly gave himself a slap in the face, and apologized to Hong Yi.

Hong Yi is not the kind of character who is unreasonable, so naturally he will not pursue anything, he just heard that the thin monkey said that he would take the exam with him tomorrow, so he asked: "Thin monkey, you also signed up?" ”

"Yes, it's not just me, many people in the gang have signed up, this is an opportunity to soar, but even if you are admitted, you have to serve the gang, because all the expenses are paid by the gang." The thin monkey said with a grin.

Hong Yi didn't ask again, everyone wants to get their hands on the big cake of the Evolution Branch, and the major gangs in the slums will naturally not be indifferent.

"Mad Dog, he won't sign up?" Hong Yi asked again.

"Brother Dog, he said that he was born cheap, his potential is not up to par, he can't open his brain domain at all, and he has a broken hand, even if he registers, he can't pass the exam, so he simply won't waste time." After the thin monkey finished speaking, Hong Yi nodded and didn't ask again.

Leaving the registration point, Hong Yi went to the Mercenary Association, this time in addition to receiving the task, he also had to do an important thing.

That is to buy the program and evolution potion that opens the first-level brain domain of the white star.

The Mercenary Association will have a certain discount for registered mercenaries, so Hong Yi will definitely buy them here.

Knowing that Hong Yi was going to buy the items that opened the brain domain, a female receptionist wearing the uniform of the Mercenary Association immediately walked over, holding an instrument that looked like a tablet computer in her hand, and smiled sweetly at Hong Yi: "Hello, please show your mercenary epaulettes first." ”

Hong Yi handed over the epaulettes, and the latter skillfully scratched on the machine, and a look of surprise immediately appeared on her pretty face.

The chip in the mercenary's epaulette records the mercenary's mission log, and she saw that this F-level mercenary named Hong Yi had only been registered as a mercenary for ten days, but the other party had completed twelve tasks, this efficiency was simply incredible, if it was other mercenaries, it would have been the top of the day to complete three or five tasks.

Even the female receptionist, who was accustomed to seeing all kinds of mercenaries, was a little surprised, but she maintained a good professional quality and quickly returned the mercenary epaulettes to Hong Yi.

"I heard that you want to buy the program and evolution potion that opens the first-level brain domain of the White Star, and the Mercenary Association gives registered mercenaries a discount of 9.5% off, do you want to confirm that you want to buy it?" The hostess asked with a smile.

Hong Yi nodded and took out a stack of cash from his backpack.

Most of this money was ill-gotten gains from the Flying Fish team, and Hong Yi didn't feel distressed when he spent it, and the female receptionist saw it, and immediately took Hong Yi to a service desk, and then counted the cash.

"Received your S$24,000, please wait!" The hostess packed the cash, then got up to leave, and after a while, she turned back and handed a well-made metal box to Hong Yi.

The metal box has a good texture with a special pattern on it, and on the top of the box, a white five-pointed star is engraved.

This represents the White Star Level.

Seeing this metal box, Hong Yi couldn't help but breathe faster, in the gathering place, I don't know how many people dream of the things in the metal box.

What is inside represents power, it represents status.

"Sir, please check, this is the program and evolution potion that the White Star Level 1 Brain Domain has opened." The hostess looked at this metal box and showed a look of yearning, she was already the envy of many people to work in the Mercenary Association, but even so, compared to those who have become real star evolutionaries, it is still far inferior.

"By the way, sir, I inquired that your mercenary contribution points have reached 20 points and have met the requirements for mercenary level promotion, do you want to upgrade your mercenary level?" The receptionist asked.

"Not for now, thank you!" Hong Yi didn't plan to upgrade the mercenary level so quickly, now he is the lowest F-level, even if he is promoted to E-level, there will not be much discount, and he can exchange some things for free with contribution points, so he will keep it for now.

And now the primary goal is to gain experience to level up, and how to gain experience, Hong Yi also has a new plan in his heart.

Picking up the box, putting it in his backpack, and then going to take on a mission to hunt the 'Steel Shell Mutant', Hong Yi left the gathering place.

He didn't notice that when he left the Mercenary Association, a ghostly mercenary came out, looking at Hong Yi with a look of greed.

Hong Yi had just left the gathering place on a motorcycle, and a car followed him out of the gathering place.

There were four mercenaries sitting on this car, all with fierce faces, and a man sitting in the co-pilot's seat was even stronger as a bear, with a long scar on his face, bald head, and the adjutant at the back of his head was also very large, with an all-steel metal body, and even parts for placing miniature batteries, and a metal spine skeleton underneath, and the right half of his body and arm were also covered with a layer of metal exoskeleton.

This adjutant brain has obviously been modified and belongs to a relatively new model, relying on polymerized lithium batteries to provide energy supply for metal exoskeletons.

There is no doubt that this strong man is an absolute power, and with the metal arms and fists of the exoskeleton, he is afraid that a single punch can destroy a car.

The thick adjutant has a strong metal body with half of the exoskeleton, giving this strong man a fierceness and ferocity that others do not have.

"Boss, that kid is really a person, this is just a fat meat to give to his mouth!" The man driving said excitedly at this time.

"Are you sure you can see clearly, that kid bought the White Star Level 1 Brain Domain Box from the Association?" The boss made a deep, deep voice.

"That's right, I really saw it." The mercenary who drove the car hurriedly assured that it was obvious that this mercenary was the one who had peeped at Hong Yi before.

"Okay, follow along, find a secluded place, kill people, and grab treasures!" A fierce look flashed in the boss's eyes, and the other three people in the car also showed bloodthirsty smiles.

Crazy Bear Squad, this is a mercenary squad that many low-level mercenaries have heard of, they have a simple and rough style of doing things, they like to rob other mercenaries of the benefits, and their reputation is extremely bad.

Therefore, many mercenaries at the door hurriedly avoided when they saw the four people in the car, for fear of provoking these four killing gods.
