Chapter Seventy-Five: The Mercenary Building
After hearing some things about the mountain city, Chu Tian had a general understanding of the overall situation, and at the same time, he quickly set his next goal.
There is no doubt that the "Mercenary Building" is where he must go, and only by completing some tasks issued by the government can Chu Tiancai get enough contribution points to make his family live a more prosperous life.
"Chutian, you don't want to go to the mercenary mansion to take on the task, do you?" When Chu Long saw the look on Chu Tian's face, he knew what he was thinking, and immediately asked.
Chu Tian didn't hide it, nodded, and said what he had just thought, he believed that his family would understand. It's just that what he didn't expect was that as soon as he said it, he was immediately vetoed by his mother Wang Hui.
"No! Although our family is living a little harder, we can still hold on, so why take that risk! ”
"That's right, Chutian, the tasks issued by the government are not so simple, they are all very dangerous, although the Awakened are very powerful, but there are also many people who are injured or even killed in the mission." Chu Yun also persuaded on the side.
"Mom and Dad, don't worry! Can't you trust me in doing things? Chu Tian smiled helplessly, he knew that it was just that his parents cared about him too much, although his mother was telling the truth, but he had not fulfilled the responsibility of a son of man for a few years, and now that he was back, he had the ability to take responsibility, so he naturally had to work hard to make his family live better, which was also the responsibility of the son of man!
"Mom and Dad, I think it's time to let my younger brother break through, he is different from us, he is now an awakened person, that is, a real warrior, and a warrior must go to the battlefield of blood and fire to reflect his true value!"
Just when Chu Tian was a little embarrassed, Chu Long stood up and spoke out in support of him, seeing his parents' frowning slightly, Chu Long smiled and said: "Since Xiao Tian has this idea, it means that he has enough strength, and he is not such an impulsive person, so let him be!" ”
"Yes, uncle and aunt, you don't know that Brother Tian is amazing! No one in Haicheng and Haixian has beaten him before! Nangong Qianqian also spoke out in support at this time, she was telling the truth, she had seen Chu Tian's powerful strength too many times, so naturally she would not worry about his safety.
After Chu Tian's parents heard Nangong Qianqian's words, they glanced at each other, and they were a lot more relieved, but Chu's mother Wang Hui couldn't help but ask: "Really?" ”
"It's more real than real gold!" Chu Tian said with a smile.
"You boy! In that case, then whatever you want! Chu Tian's father, Chu Yun, nodded in agreement at this time, and advised: "It's just Xiao Tian, you have to remember that if it's too dangerous, don't take on the task, so as not to worry about us." ”
"Hey! Rest assured! ”
Chu Tian was naturally very happy when he saw that his parents had no opinions, and immediately patted his chest and promised.
In the afternoon of the same day, Ling Ye also said goodbye to Chu Tian and the others, and he told Chu Tian that he still had important things to do in the mountain city. With a strong man like Ling Ye, Chu Tian wouldn't worry about his life at all, and with such a strong man by his side, he had some scruples, so he didn't keep it too much.
Shortly after leaving in the middle of the night, Chu Tian also left the community alone and went to a mercenary building closest to the community.
Maybe it's because of the civilian area, the mercenary building is not high, only eight or nine floors in total, but even eight or nine floors is the tallest building in the civilian area, so Chu Tian easily found the mercenary building.
There was no new name for the building, the glass door at the main entrance was written with four big characters "Hiring Building", when Chu Tian entered the hall, what made him a little speechless was that there were not many people in the whole building at all, only some strong men were discussing something in a low voice.
"You know, rats, their gang died yesterday!"
"How did you die? I said, I didn't see them today. ”
"It is said that he was bitten to death when he encountered a dog predator while doing a mission."
"Alas! They were unlucky, and yesterday they asked them to take on low-level tasks, and he was greedy for merit, so he took on an intermediate task, thinking that seven or eight people could complete it, which is not ......."
"Yes! We are not awakened, so we should be cautious when taking on tasks! ”
Everyone in the hall looked terrified, and they discussed what task to take on.
Chu Tian shook his head when he heard this, these people are obviously ordinary people who dare to come here to take on tasks that can only be done by the awakened, isn't this looking for death? However, looking at the appearance of these people, they can be regarded as veterans, and their advantage is that there are many people, otherwise they would have died early.
In his opinion, the reason why these people did not die was due to luck, otherwise it would be tragic to encounter a group of predators or a second-stage predator, and there would be no escape!
Sure enough, after Chu Tian entered the hall, those big men immediately looked at him, and when they saw that it was just a thin young man who came in, they immediately sighed in disappointment.
Chu Tian didn't feel any dissatisfaction when he saw their expressions, he just touched his nose with a little embarrassment, and said with a wry smile in his heart: "Is he really so weak?" ”
"You didn't have that big knife with you, otherwise they would have had a different expression." Gunas said.
"Yes, forget it, don't care, let's go see if there are any good tasks first."
When Chu Tian entered the hall, he saw that there was a large screen inside, which displayed various tasks, and a window opened on the side of the big screen, and a staff member was sitting in it, thinking that he was going through the task procedures.
It's just that when Chu Tian just wanted to go to pick up the task, several big men came over, and the big men led by him said boldly: "Little brother, it's your first time taking the task, right?" ”
"Hmm." Chu Tian replied calmly, he knew that these big men had been paying attention to him since he walked into the hall, but he didn't know what they were doing when they came to find him.
"Alas, look at your body, you dare to come to take on the task, I think it's because there are difficulties at home, right?"
"Hmm." Chu Tian still nodded flatly.
"It's a pity, I'm afraid that your bones will be eaten by predators when you leave the city!" Dahan said regretfully, then rolled his eyes, and said again: "Seeing that you are quite courageous, I will kindly take you in, and you can form a team with us!" ”
Dahan's words seemed to be bold, and he seemed to be really thinking about Chu Tian, but how could Chu Tian not see the purpose of these people? Ever since the men walked towards them, the rest of the hall had looked disgusted and fearful, all whispering something together.
Although they spoke quietly, after awakening, Chu Tian's hearing was naturally extraordinary, and he heard all their words without falling. It turns out that these big men are not good people, and they often cheat some lonely people in the nearby mercenary building, and then ask them to do some dangerous things for them when they are doing tasks, which is actually a substitute for dead ghosts!
So just now he always looked very plain when facing the question of the big man, Chu Tian hated this kind of people the most, if it weren't for the scruples that this is a mountain city, I'm afraid these people would have been abolished a long time ago!
"Not interested!"
Chu Tian still said something flat, and then bypassed the big men and walked towards the place where he received the task.
Those big men were stunned for a moment, and then immediately became furious and stepped forward to stop Chu Tian.
The big man led by him stared at Chu Tian viciously, then took off his coat, revealing the tattoo on his arm, and threatened with a cruel smile: "If you don't join us, I'm afraid it will be miserable!" ”
"Oh? What's a miserable law? Could it be that you still dare to kill me here? ”
Chu Tian scoffed at their threat, and was a little speechless in his heart, how could there be such a stupid person who could scare himself with a tattoo? Then he shook his head and ignored the big men, and walked inside.
"This kid is so arrogant, he dares not to give us face, Brother Tiger, do you want to teach him a lesson?" A big man said viciously.
"Teach you a lesson! Don't look at what this place is! Is it something you can mess around? The man headed by Brother Tiger patted the man's head and said viciously.
Chu Tian heard well, so he naturally listened to the words of those people, he just smiled at this, before coming over, he understood some of the situation clearly, and naturally knew that he couldn't do it in the mercenary building, after all, this is a place established by the government, who dares to do it, wouldn't it not give the government face?
In fact, the government set this rule, and it is only used to restrain those awakened, after all, there are more awakened people doing tasks, and there will inevitably be conflicts outside the city, and some small conflicts are fine, if it causes some big conflicts, those people will inevitably not mess around when handing over the task, so the government set this rule.
"What then?" Being twitched by Brother Hu, the man asked with a bitter face, and the afterglow of his eyes showed a vicious look when he looked at Chu Tian.
"What to do? Although you can't do it in the mountain city, but when you get out of the mountain city, it's life and death! Even the government won't say anything! ”
Brother Hu deliberately raised his voice and said, he just said it to Chu Tian, wanting to scare and scare him, so that he would worry about his retaliation, so that he would naturally beg them to take him.
"Humph! I don't know what to say! Chu Tian snorted coldly, he didn't pay attention to these people, although these big men had a body of muscles, they didn't pose any threat to him, so Chu Tian didn't take those people in his eyes at all, if he really made trouble for himself, it was just to let himself vent his anger and eliminate harm for the people!
If Brother Tiger knew what Chu Tian was thinking at this time, he would definitely laugh at it with disdain! In his opinion, Chu Tian was an ignorant young man with no combat effectiveness. As for whether he is an awakened person or not, Brother Hu has never considered it at all, this is the idea of everyone in the hall, the awakened generally only go to the elite area to receive tasks, and there are few awakened people in the civilian area, which is also the shock of his family when Chu Tian told his family that he was an awakened person.
After Chu Tian came to the task screen, he couldn't help but be speechless again when he looked at the dozens of tasks above, because the tasks entrusted above were too simple, either to explore the traces of some predators outside the city, or to pick up some survivors outside the city to enter the city, and the rewards behind were pitiful, and it was just a little contribution value.
Of course, he also knew that these tasks were too easy for him, but for others, such as the others in the hall at this time, they were high-risk tasks.
"Are those missions all there are here?" Chu Tian frowned and asked the staff at the window.
Although the staff didn't think that Chu Tian was an awakened person, they still patiently replied: "Of course not, this is only the lowest level task, and the more advanced tasks can be collected upstairs." ”
"Oh, thank you then!"
After Chu Tian finished speaking, he walked to the elevator leading to the upper floor under the surprised eyes of the staff and others in the hall.
