The Mercenary Association, affected by the "Academy Competition", basically all the mercenaries have received tasks with generous commissions, and the mercenary associations that used to be in the city seem to be particularly deserted at this time.

In front of the counter, the waitress who was supposed to be busy was gathering together casually and chatting about something.

"In this year's 'Academy Competition', I don't know which Imperial team will win the championship in the end?"

"Hey, I don't think our Chu Empire has any drama, and if we can squeeze into the top fifty, I think it's a super level performance. ”

"Please, you are still not a citizen of the Chu Empire, if you want some information, our empire is the host, if you want me to say, you can squeeze into the top ten!"

"I see that you haven't paid attention to the 'Academy Tournament' before, do you know how strong the players of other empires are, didn't I say that the strength of some players is already comparable to that of mercenaries of the Xuan rank. ”

"Really, so what's at stake?"

"By the way, do you know, the Royal Casino has already opened a gambling game, and I also bought 10,000 gold coins from our non-Chu Empire!"

A few waitresses chattered in front of the counter, one moment surprised, the other laughing.

When a few people were chatting energetically, one of them suddenly made a look, and then everyone was very silent and put on a serious appearance.

Their faces were facing forward, but their eyes were glancing to one side, consciously or unconsciously.

Following their gaze, an old man who was six feet tall and slightly bowed suddenly and slowly walked out of the inner hall.

The old man looked around a little discouragedly, and then walked slowly to the counter.

"President!"

Several waitresses hurriedly saluted respectfully.

"It's so boring, isn't there anything to do today?" asked the old man.

"No, it's been half a day, and I haven't even seen the figure of a mercenary. ”

The old man turned his head to look outside, and said with some resentment: "It's really weird. It's a mess on weekdays. It's very frustrating. Now I want to find something to do, but I can't even see a ghost!"

The waitress chuckled twice and said, "There is no way to do this, after all, this is the first time that our empire has held a 'House Competition'. It takes a lot of manpower, and basically all the mercenaries are going to help!"

Another waitress followed up and said, "President, the academy competition will officially start in two days, why don't you go and take a look?"

The old man pursed his lips. said: "It's just a game between a group of little hairy children, what's there to see!"

The waitress smiled awkwardly, she knew that the only person who could say such a thing was probably the president of their mercenary association.

In this mercenary association, the old man in front of him can be described as the pillar, no one knows how high his strength is, but he knows that every mercenary who has studied with him has been repaired miserably in the end!

In the president's own words, once he gets excited. will devote themselves to the battle.

So, gradually. No one dared to challenge the president anymore, although from time to time the president would offer tempting conditions, such as what would happen if he could stick to a few tricks.

"Keep busy!"

The old man yawned and walked to the chair in the hall, and at this moment, a young man suddenly walked in from outside the door, and he looked like he was about twelve or thirteen years old.

When the boy walked in, his expression was visibly stunned, he looked left and right, and then walked to the counter with a frown.

"Excuse me, is this the Mercenary Association?"

The boy spoke, his tone skeptical.

It's no wonder that the Mercenary Association was originally a mixed place, but here in front of me, there were no more than ten people who could see it combined.

"Welcome, this is the Mercenary Association, what help do you need?"

The waitress smiled politely.

"Can you handle a 'teleportation code' here?"

Looking at the waiter with a professional smile in front of him, Dongfang Xiuzhe asked with some uncertainty.

"Are you a mercenary?" asked the waitress as she pulled out a notebook from under the counter.

Shaking his head, Dongfang Xiuzhe said, "No!"

After flipping a few pages in the record book, the waitress raised her head and said apologetically: "It's really not the right time for you to come, there is no idle 'transmission code' anymore, if you are not in a hurry, you can sit there and wait, and in more than half an hour, a new 'transmission code' will be generated." ”

Frowning, Dongfang Xiuzhe didn't expect that he would come at such an inopportune time, but when he thought that he might encounter the same situation next time, he decided to wait, anyway, he didn't have anything to do in a hurry.

After separating from Nova and the others, Dongfang Xiuzhe wanted to get what they called a "teleportation code", so he found it here under the guidance of Xiao Qi.

Originally, Xiao Qi planned to bring Dongfang Xiuzhe over in person, but Dongfang Xiuzhe gave him an errand fee of 100,000 gold coins and asked him to do another thing, which was to persuade the Qiukun fleet to cooperate.

When he came to the public seating area and sat down, Dongfang Xiuzhe noticed an old man not far away, staring at him.

Dongfang Xiuzhe didn't pay much attention to it, and sat there and began to close his eyes and think about the construction of the port.

The old man quickly looked away, just because he felt that this was just an ordinary imp, not yet to the point of making him curious.

Neither of them cared about the other, just because both sides were masters of hidden strength.

It didn't take long for a man to suddenly walk in from outside, and he was also going to handle the "transmission code".

However, what Dongfang Xiuzhe didn't expect was that it only took a short time for this guy to walk to the counter, and he successfully handled the "transmission code", didn't he say that he would have to wait for more than half an hour.

At that moment, Dongfang Xiuzhe suddenly had a feeling of being fooled, he walked straight to the counter with a straight face, and stared directly at the waiter who had just received him.

"Welcome to the next visit!"

At this time, the waitress was saying goodbye to the man who had completed the "teleportation code", and was startled when she accidentally caught a glimpse of a pair of cold eyes staring at her.

"Excuse me...... How can you help?"

"Explain to me, what happened to that man just now?"

"What?" the waitress clearly did not understand the meaning of the sentence.

"Didn't you say that you would have to wait for more than half an hour before a new 'teleportation code' was possible, what was going on with that man?"

"Oh, that's what you mean," the waitress smiled, then explained, "that customer is a mercenary, and the mercenary's 'teleportation code' is different from that of a normal customer, so there is no need to wait. ”

"Is there such a thing?"

"Yes, I don't need to deceive you, if you're a mercenary, I can handle it for you right now. ”

Dongfang Xiuzhe didn't speak again, but looked directly into the other party's eyes, and instinctively told him that the waitress in front of him was not lying.

"Is it troublesome to register a mercenary?"

Dongfang Xiuzhe suddenly changed his question and asked.

"Becoming a mercenary is very simple, just pay the registration fee of ten gold coins first, and then pass the assessment along the way. ”

"And assessments?"

Dongfang Xiuzhe remembered the scene of the hunter exam, it wouldn't be so troublesome.

"The assessment of junior mercenaries is very simple, and it usually only takes a few minutes to finish!" As if seeing what Dongfang Xiuzhe was thinking, the waitress said with a smile.

Just when Dongfang Xiuzhe was thinking about whether to sign up, ten young people suddenly walked in from outside, wearing the same style of clothes, so that people could see that they were together at a glance.

"I'll just say there won't be too many people, you see, my words will come true!"

"There are so few people, is this really a mercenary association?"

"Why not, didn't you see the sign outside that it was clearly written!"

"Wouldn't all the employees here be on vacation, wouldn't we be here for nothing? ”

"Just ask, I hope it didn't come in vain!"

The ten young men walked over to the counter as they spoke.

"How can I help you?"

Another waitress asked in an almost identical voice.

"We're going to sign up for the mercenary group, okay?" one of the tall men asked.

"Yes, are you all mercenaries?" asked the waitress.

"No, none of us are mercenaries!"

"In that case, you must register as a mercenary before you can be eligible to register for the mercenary group, and the registration fee for the mercenary assessment is ten gold coins per person. ”

"Okay, this is our registration fee, please prepare it for us!" said the man, placing the money he had prepared in advance in front of the counter.

"Okay, please fill out this form!"

While the ten young men were filling out their information, the elder came over at some point, his eyes squinted, and he looked the ten young men up and down.

Dongfang Xiuzhe on the side looked at these ten people, he had some impressions of the costumes of these ten people, and he seemed to have seen them at the lottery group meeting.

"It seems that these ten people should be representatives of some empire!"

Having come to this conclusion in his heart, Dongfang Xiuzhe turned his head to the waitress and said, "Okay, I have also signed up for the assessment." ”

After saying that, he flipped his wrist and threw ten gold coins on the counter.

Hearing that Dongfang Xiuzhe was also going to participate in the assessment, several young people next to him looked at Dongfang Xiuzhe with some curiosity, and then couldn't help laughing.

Although they didn't say anything, the expression was already obvious, and it was clearly laughing at Dongfang Xiuzhe: at such a young age, he didn't even want to become a mercenary.

"Alright, we're done!"

Ten young people handed over the information they had filled in.

Just as the waitress was about to lead these people to the test site, the old man who had been standing next to him suddenly said:

"Alright, I'm your tester, come with me!"

Hearing his words, several waitresses were dumbfounded on the spot. (To be continued.) )
