Chapter Ninety-Eight: Blending
After staying for a while, Chu Qili had a general understanding of the rating criteria for this recruitment. Most of the cultivation below the intermediate level of mustard seeds is unqualified.
Only those who have reached the Mustard Intermediate and above will be able to pass this assessment and have the title of an Intermediate Mercenary to enter the candidate camp.
And the standard of high-level mercenaries has also reached the seventh order or above of the mustard seed realm, as well as the strength of five hundred. There are very few mercenaries in this group of mercenaries who have such a high level of requirements.
Chu Qili glanced at the candidate camp and pondered: "It seems that just passing this assessment may not be able to successfully infiltrate the barracks. ”
Chu Yunyan nodded, "That's right, it seems that even if it comes to this point where the mountains and rivers are almost exhausted, those border commanders have no intention of indiscriminately filling the numbers. The perilous situation on the battlefield can also be seen......"
As she spoke, Chu Yunyan moved her gaze to Chu Qili, "What are your plans?"
Chu Qili shrugged, "It's a normal assessment, anyway, we don't have the preparation to be there for a long time, so we don't have to think about it and worry too much." ”
Chu Yunyan also felt that what he said was reasonable, nodded silently, and said, "We also have a general understanding of this situation, let's go back and wait." ”
Chu Qili also nodded, and the two of them returned to the hostel not far away. Black Cloud Town was very lively this night, and this huge recruitment lasted until the second half of the night.
It wasn't until the long queue gradually bottomed out that Chu Qili woke up Chu Yunyan, who was in a state of cultivation, and the two left the hostel without hurrying and were at the end of the line.
"Mustard Seed Seventh Order, Five Hundred Strength, Senior Mercenary!"
"Mustard Seed Eighth Order, Seven Hundred Strength, Senior Mercenary!"
The two had just reached the end of the line when the non-commissioned officer's loud call was heard in front of them. This is quite a rare high-ranking mercenary, and two of them appeared in succession.
After a moment of waiting, Chu Yunyan took the lead in the test. Wrapped in a wide robe, he hid most of his face under the broken straw hat, revealing only a little black and gray face.
Chu Yunyan in such a costume is not only unattractive, but simply a living "little black charcoal".
The non-commissioned officer saw that the person who came was short, and he didn't have the evil spirit of the group of strong men before, and estimated that he was just a waste wood who came to mix luck and receive gold coins.
The non-commissioned officer showed a little disappointment in his eyes, and said in a deep voice: "The test begins, release your source qi." ”
A gust of wind swept by, nearly knocking down the non-commissioned officer's seated figure. "This ...... It's almost the momentum of the ninth order of mustard seeds?" Stabilizing his figure, the non-commissioned officer said in surprise.
His eyes widened as he watched the little man walk to the stone pier. I saw that the little man was angry and dantian, holding a huge stone pier weighing a thousand pounds in both hands and holding it high.
The previous loss was swept away, and the non-commissioned officer said in a loud voice: "Mustard Seed Eighth Order Peak, Qianjun Strength, Senior Mercenary!" ”
Sending Chu Yunyan away, Chu Ha stepped forward three or two steps away, and before the non-commissioned officer could speak, he directly released his source qi.
"Mustard Seed Sixth-Order Peak? Not bad......" The non-commissioned officer nodded, motioning for him to proceed to the next assessment.
Chu Qili came to a stone pier weighing 400 jun, and lifted it up very "laboriously", but threw it on the ground in a moment, looking overdrawn.
The non-commissioned officer said in a calm tone, announcing, "Mustard Seed Realm Sixth Order, Four Hundred Strength, Intermediate Mercenaries!" ”
Chu Qili followed his orders and walked straight to the candidate area. Under Chu Yunyan's dazzling performance, Chu Qili's level is not worth mentioning.
But Chu Hatli's level of performance is already one of the most outstanding people in the candidate area, and there is no possibility of being screened at all.
Passing by Chu Yunyan, I saw that her eyes were full of doubts, and Chu Hali just smiled mysteriously at this. Without much pause, he walked straight into the candidate area.
Shortly after that, the sky was slightly bright, and the night of recruitment came to an end. The non-commissioned officer lifted his red robe, got up and left his seat, and took a piece of paper in his hand.
The non-commissioned officer slowly walked to the candidate area, and according to the records in hand, loudly reported a series of names, "Sorry everyone, we have a limited number of recruits, and you have not been selected!"
Accompanied by a hard night, the dozens of evil men were just about to have a seizure, and the non-commissioned officer said: "As a reward, I will give a coin to no one to apologize!"
The non-commissioned officer gave the order, and the two teams of soldiers behind him were also aggressive. The recklessness of that group of villains was also suppressed, and they honestly took the money and left.
After sending off the group of unsuccessful candidates, the non-commissioned officer said, "The rest of you, please follow us and others to the garrison checkpoint!"
The perennial march and conquest make them do things without dragging their feet. As soon as the order was given, regardless of whether the group of mercenaries who had just been recruited were willing or not, they directly began to march.
The mercenaries, who had not yet received any remuneration, naturally did not want to come in vain, so they followed behind the array of the two pairs of soldiers in groups of three or five.
Because of Chu Yunyan's previous dazzling performance and her amazing strength, she actually attracted a lot of people during the march.
Chu Yunyan, who was afraid that her identity as a woman would be exposed, was overwhelmed by that group of people, so she lowered her voice, pretended to be a rough voice, and tried her best to dismiss those people.
Chu Qili looked a little helpless, so he went up to help him break the siege, "Everyone, this is the little brother who escaped from the famine with me, if you don't say good things, everyone is strange." If there is any danger at that time, of course everyone will help each other, right?"
As he spoke, he still put his arm around Chu Yunyan's shoulders and looked at the group of hungry wolf-like men with a simple face.
"Of course......"
The group of mercenaries smiled unnaturally and agreed. I just don't know if they will come to each other's aid, or will they fall into the ground?
Pretending to be honest, Chu Hate responded to them with simplicity, but this simplicity can always choke them at a critical moment and resolve the calculations in their words.
After several encounters, the group of mercenaries with their own ghosts retreated one after another, not caring for the "two brothers who fled the famine".
Seeing the group of people leaving, Chu Yunyan writhed and broke free of her hug, "Thank you, it's good that you're here, otherwise I really won't be able to deal with these people." ”
"It's all a bunch of guys who eat people and don't spit out bones...... Can you really move to the battlefield?" Chu Qili shook his head, his tone full of helplessness.
Chu Yunyan ignored his worries, and instead asked dissatisfiedly, "Didn't you say a normal test before, why are you still hiding your strength?"
"How can I have?" Chu Qili's innocent eyes widened, "I only have the strength of the seventh order of the mustard seed realm, and it is reasonable to be mistaken for the peak of the sixth order of the mustard seed realm when I play abnormally, right?"
"How is it possible!" Chu Yunyan bit her lip and furrowed her eyebrows, "How can you cultivate even lower than me?"
Chu Yunyan's face was full of suspicion, after all, in her father's mouth, this Chu Hatli was a monster who could kill Chu Ying alone. That Chu Ying was a fourth-order powerhouse in the Sumeru Realm, how could he die at the hands of a monk who was about to be a high-level monk in the Mustard Seed Realm.
Chu Qili smiled and said, "What's impossible? Cultivation is not the only criterion for evaluating strength."
"And this time I went to the battlefield, in addition to picking up the clansmen back, it is also very important to help you resolve the knot. Chu Qili said again, "Otherwise, what do you think I brought you here for?"
Knowing Chu Heli's plan, Chu Yunyan lowered her head and said weakly: "Xie... Thank you. ”
