Chapter 10: The Mercenary New Year
After a full fifteen days, the Wind Moon Mercenary Group stopped recruiting. At the end of the recruitment, the Fengyue Mercenary Group recruited a total of thirty people, all of whom were good at all aspects, half of them had nothing to do with the battle, and the other half were also people who could be military advisors, logistics management, etc.
In short, in a word, no matter how high the cultivation of such thirty people is, none of them are suitable for being tough on the battlefield. This will definitely have the consequence of insufficient combat effectiveness, but Yueyao also thought of this, so although the recruitment is over, the Fengyue Mercenary Group still has a long-term recruitment plan, which is to select combat experts.
However, for Yueyao, the current focus of the Fengyue Mercenary Group is not to recruit combat talents, but to vigorously develop and quickly accumulate family funds. Therefore, the plan to recruit combat talents will not start until after the Chinese New Year, and even if a suitable one is recruited at present, it is basically free-range.
The matter here is over, but the popularity of the Fengyue Mercenary Group among adventurers has always been high. Fifteen people were recruited in thirty days, which was really a lot for a four-star mercenary group that was recruiting for the first time. However, that was when no one came.
And the Fengyue Mercenary Group has attracted a lot of attention because of the popularity caused by that mission, and there are quite a few people who come to participate in the recruitment, at least much more than the average four-star mercenary group. And in this case, the number of people recruited by the Fengyue Mercenary Group is still only so small.
In addition to this situation, it is the consequence of the assessment of the Fengyue Mercenary Group. Those who didn't make the cut in the end basically doubted themselves after they came back. Like what......
"I always thought I was quite pure, how could I ...... How could I have such delusions at that level......"
"Brother, you don't have any problems at all, what you think is what most men want, but unfortunately the reality is compelling, and we only dare to think about it......"
"yes, it's a bit unrealistic, but I have similar thoughts. ”
"But...... But...... I'm interested in people who aren't human......"
"That can only mean that your taste is a little bit heavier......"
"Brother, do you really mean that...... You don't have to care, there are no big guys in history......"
"But...... Because of this, my spirit beast has become disgusted with me, and now he doesn't listen to me for anything he says. ”
"That'...... Good luck. ”
This sudden discovery that is more impure than imagined is still a relatively minor situation, and those who doubt their own abilities are dealt a major blow.
"Eh, do you think I'm not suitable for financial management...... Look at this, just a few small problems, I haven't completely solved them......"
"Hey, brother, you don't have to be frustrated, you're better, two of the three questions have been made, which one is like me, and I did the right one...... Although the other two understood it, they didn't know what to do at all...... Besides, what is the situation of this problem, such an extreme situation, it is impossible for ordinary people to make such a situation, what is the point of this? ”
"Hey, you're alright, I didn't even understand it......
", you don't understand this line of work, what the hell are you disappointed in?"
"You guys, you just don't have practical experience, and the situation seems extreme, but it's really possible...... Besides, as a financial manager, it's certainly okay to think more about extreme situations. ”
"Then why weren't you chosen?"
"I ...... Count one less inferior spirit stone......"
"Isn't it so strict?
"So, you lack practical experience, this position, a little miscalculation is a problem, but I really didn't expect it, I've been working in this industry for five years, and I didn't expect to fall ......into the pit here."
"You're all like that, how strong are those who are elected...... Or are we really not suited to this profession......"
There are people here who are frustrated, and there people who are indignant.
"It's clearly written that it's completely open, why, I did it and didn't let me in...... And said I let it go too much. I was let go, but I was driven away for this reason...... This group of people is sick!"
"Uh...... Brother, it's time for you to recognize the facts, you are such a simple person is now a rare breed, it is a miracle that you have survived safely until now, it's time to make a change. ”
"That'...... Do you mean I'm doing something wrong?"
"Uh...... No, no, no...... You...... That's right...... It's this world that's wrong, and this world is too impure for a pure person like you. ”
All in all, after this recruitment ended, many mercenaries began to examine their abilities, and some people who were previously arrogant suddenly felt that they had no capital to be arrogant. As a result, the adventurers have not been so waver for a period of time, which is also a good thing.
However, no matter what the mercenaries think, it has completely affected them, and they are now preparing for a big event, that is, the New Year. This New Year will be a New Year in the true sense of the word of the Wind Moon Mercenary Group, so everyone attaches great importance to it.
However, there is one more thing to do before the Chinese New Year, and that is to tidy up their strongholds. There are still quite a lot of things in the old stronghold of Yingxue Pavilion, and they haven't been for many years, and some things do need to be repaired. Now, everyone's task is to count what the stronghold has and repair some of the places that need to be repaired.
In addition, there is one more hidden thing to deal with, and that is to find out all the mechanisms of this stronghold.
After all, Yingxue Pavilion is a killer organization, and in order to prevent all kinds of accidents, there are more institutions in each building than ordinary forces. Although the master of Yingxue Pavilion has given the overall structure diagram, and the secret passages of the mechanism have also been marked, but it is not usable and needs to be checked. In addition, some unwanted organs have to be dismantled.
Also, all the passages between here and Yingxue Pavilion have to be cut off somehow. Although the relationship between Yingxue Pavilion and the Fengyue Mercenary Group is quite good, it is indispensable to defend against people, and this kind of thing that leads directly to one's backyard must not be left.
However, although we have to find a way to cut it off, it is not completely destroyed, and some things that can be used can still be reused. For example, the secret passage can be rerouted and used as an emergency evacuation route. The teleportation array can be used normally if it is slightly modified. Line
The current plan for the teleportation array is to establish a connection with the Asking Peak, so that it will be convenient even if there is anything going on with the Asking Peak. However, this requires a transcontinental teleportation array, and they will definitely not be able to establish a teleportation array.
On the one hand, I plan to ask the people of the Wasteland Alliance to deal with it, but this requires a high cost, and the maintenance after that is also a large cost. As far as the current situation is concerned, the Wind Moon Mercenary Group can't afford to pay.
In addition, for future planning, various materials needed by the members also need to be purchased, and it is also necessary to determine the regular jobs of those 30 people. In short, in the three days before the Chinese New Year, everyone had a lot of things to deal with, which is why Yueyao chose so many non-combatants to join.
After three days, the basic affairs have been dealt with, the basic equipment and their respective work have been determined, the work area has been preliminarily determined, the facility statistics have been completed, and the future plan has also taken shape, which will be required after the New Year. All in all, everything is pretty much working properly.
After these are processed, it is time to prepare for the New Year. When they prepared their belongings for the New Year, they discovered a particularly important thing, and that was that their customs were very different from those here.
After they were in full swing to prepare, they found that these people didn't seem to have any vitality at all these days. To be precise, only when the time comes, there is energy, and the rest of the time always gives people a feeling of not waking up.
Seeing this, everyone couldn't help but think of something.
"Ji'er, what are the general customs during the New Year in the north?"
Hearing the question of wind death, Xue Ji suddenly reacted, the preparations they are making now for the New Year are from the Ancient Continent, which is different from the northern realm. Then she thought about it and said her situation.
"Hmm...... I used to get up early in the morning to practice swordsmanship, have a meal with my parents and them at noon, and then take a little rest before practicing swordsmanship. ”
Hearing this result, everyone had a thought in their hearts: there is no reference at all. Then, everyone asked the others, and the result was surprisingly consistent – sleep until you wake up naturally, then have dinner and go to sleep. All in all, on the first day of the year, except for a lunch at noon, the people of the north basically spend the rest of the time in sleep. At the very least, it is to maintain a state of low firepower.
But don't think that the north will be in danger in this situation, on the contrary, it is the time when you can't provoke the people of the north. On this day, the greatest malice for the people of the North is to disturb people's dreams. Therefore, once you do something that disturbs people's dreams on this day, it is basically equivalent to declaring war.
Such behavior, coupled with the fact that the people of the North are generally very angry when they get up that day, the retribution they will receive is unpredictable. Therefore, basically no one is stupid enough to provoke the people of the north on this day.
After knowing this, everyone changed their plan, and instead of planning to have a year-end dinner party like when they were in the Ancient Continent, it became a noon party on the first day of the new year as the locals did.
Soon, it was the first day of the Lunar New Year. At the end of the day, everyone else woke up, most of them continued to work, only some of the people who knew how to cook, together with Feng Yan, Yueli, Yueyao, Lin Yong, and Yemo, came to the kitchen and began to prepare food for the dinner.
Previously, Yueli learned that the people of the north basically spent their days sleeping because it was too cold, so everyone just wanted to hide in the bed. Knowing this, Yueli is going to make something special - that is, hot pot.
Of course, it's hard to adjust the heavy mouth, and Yueli isn't sure if anyone doesn't like it, so the general food still needs to be prepared. However, at present, the most anticipated is the hot pot of the moon glass, because everyone is interested in what it is to put the pot that is still on the fire on the table.
Soon, it was noon, and the hot pot prepared by Yueli appeared in front of everyone, it was a stone with a small basin on it, and there was red and white soup in it. As for the fire, it was replaced by the fire spirit power to fill the void.
There were three grooves in that vessel, and on top of them were spirit stones, which were obviously the power parts. And near the pot, there is a lot of raw food, which is obviously in an unfinished state.
Then, the thirty-nine people were divided into four tables, and the wind killed nine of them at one table, and the rest of them were mixed and matched at will. After each of them took their seats, everyone looked at Yueli.
"Everyone, this hot pot is quite simple, just put these dishes in this pot and cook them. Don't worry, these things are very easy to cook, and they will be cooked after a short while.
In addition, this soup is divided into spicy soup and clear soup, so everyone can choose according to their taste...... However, a friendly reminder that people who can't eat spicy soup should not try spicy soup indiscriminately.
Okay, that's all, everyone eats and drinks well, and then musters up all the energy to build our mercenary group into a super-first-class mercenary group. ”
At this time, the others did not move the chopsticks, so they were temporarily embarrassed to move.
"Why don't you eat it? It's not very difficult to operate, next pot...... You can't say you won't, can you?"
Yueli asked.
"Vice-captain, captain, and the steward, don't come to that ...... Remark...... Is it?"
A middle-aged man said this.
"Oh, this...... What kind of work to talk about in your leisure time, rest when you should rest, and work hard when you should work...... A good person is someone who can get the job done during working hours and let it not disturb the rest time...... Those words will be said when the official start of work begins, okay, now there is a task, it is time to eat and drink. In the name of the vice-captain, I order you to move the chopsticks!"
Then, Yueli didn't care about other people's opinions, so she directly moved her chopsticks. This makes those people feel strange for a while, especially those who have worked before, and they always feel a lot more relaxed.
So, after a while, the atmosphere changed completely, except for Yueyao and Yemo, who often maintained their demeanor, everyone else was completely different.
In particular, Feng Yan and Yueli also grabbed food, and then were reprimanded by Yueyao. And this behavior makes others more open. The captain and vice-captain are like this, so what are their subordinates still reserved.
As a result, what was originally a serious dinner party almost turned into a group of demons dancing. What used to be a quiet place is now very noisy. Then there are all kinds of things that can be called black history, but they are all drunk and don't care at all.
The atmosphere is so casual, so that everyone really feels that this is a mercenary group. Although it has such complete facilities, it can be called a force completely. But this kind of atmosphere can only be felt by mercenary groups. And the result of this atmosphere is a higher sense of belonging.
Soon, the meal was over, and though it was just some ordinary meal, the monks were all well fed, and felt more delicious than some of the delicacies of the mountains and the sea. In addition, they all have an inexplicable sense of happiness and confidence that they will be able to shine here.
However, in the end, can it shine, with everyone now, at least tomorrow.
