Ji Xinghuo held Ren Mian's hand, shook it lightly and let it go, the soft touch from his hand made his heart flutter.

"If only I could hold it all the time."

This thought came to him, which made Ji Xinghuo himself startled.

He glanced at Ren Mian with some weakness, but found that she had walked into the bar without realizing it, so he hurriedly followed.

"Would you like to have a drink to celebrate my joining the party?"

After entering, Ji Xinghuo knew that he was thinking too much.

It's not a serious bar, it's a color club!

Olympia can't use electronic devices, and naturally there are no stereos, speakers, DJs and the like, but this does not prevent those who want to have fun, a dozen people form a band, all kinds of unplugged instruments play in unison, and a singer with the ability to "amplify" sings a song with a torn voice, covering the noise of the noisy crowd.

The colorful crystals flicker, completely operated by hand, to achieve the effect of rotating colored lights.

In the middle of the club hall is a T-shaped stage, on which a whole row of voluptuous women stand, scratching their heads at the men waving money below.

The hall was filled with the smell of hormones and alcohol.

In the corner, some men and women were already tangled together, ignoring the crowd around them.

Ren Mian walked through the crowd to a booth.

Ji Xinghuo saw that there were five people in the booth, and four good-looking women gathered around a man, he hugged left and right, while pouring wine into his mouth, he laughed with the women around him, and his dishonest hands were like touching cards, and he was up and down everywhere.

He didn't even notice the two people approaching.

"Koike."

Ren Mian called out a name, and the voice was not loud, but the man who was soaked in the pile of women looked up and saw her as if he had been struck by lightning.

His face was full of embarrassment, and he quickly pushed away the woman next to him and stood up.

"Sister Ren."

The man's expression was well managed, and he couldn't see a trace of embarrassment in a blink of an eye, and turned into a serious look, asking, "Why did you come here?" ”

Ji Xinghuo observed him.

This man is a few years older than himself, with heroic facial features, dignified appearance, about 1.9 meters tall, very strong, but there is no sense of bulkiness like a power-type alien, and his body is well-proportioned and strong, which shows that his strength and speed are evenly developed, and he is known for his explosive power.

His weapon was next to him, leaning against the deck.

It was a spear made entirely of metal, more than two meters long, with a triangular tip more than thirty centimeters long, sharp edges, a body as thick as an arm, a dark red body, and a faint red glimmer flowing on it, and the weight of the whole spear was at least sixty kilograms.

Well-proportioned and athletic, with a spear and a thick calloon on the palm of his hand......

Ji Xinghuo speculated that this man was most likely a martial artist.

Martial artists are the most numerous Inhumans.

Theoretically, martial artists can use any weapon, sword, sword, halberd, axe, hammer, dagger, but in fact, more than eighty percent of martial artists chose the spear.

Even at first, because of preference, or in order to be handsome, I chose weapons such as swords.

But after being beaten by reality, he will obediently change to a spear.

The reason is simple.

The spear is the strongest!

The spear is the king of the hundred soldiers, and the person who uses the spear always has an absolute advantage when it comes to people of the same martial arts rank, regardless of the ability.

An inch long and an inch strong, it is by no means nonsense.

Especially in the first few ranks of Inhumans, there are fewer other means of ability, and most of the combat is close to the close, and the spear is invincible.

Even if they are not martial artists, Inhumans of other professions are forced to choose spears.

Spears and sticks are secondary.

Therefore, martial artists are jokingly called "spearmen", if they use spears, they are "spear brothers", anyway, they look like miscellaneous soldiers in film and television games.

Ji Xinghuo is in Olympia these days, and the weapon he sees the most is the spear.

Wherever you go, you can see spearmen and spearmen.

However, the man in front of him was the most powerful spearman he had seen so far, and Ji Xinghuo was only a few steps away from him, faintly alert to danger.

"I'm passing by." Ren Mian said lightly and introduced: "This is our new teammate, Ji Xinghuo. Starfire, he is the scale in the pool. ”

Chi Zhonglu noticed Ji Xinghuo before Ren Mian's introduction.

"New teammates!"

His eyes lit up, he quickly grabbed Ji Xinghuo's hand, and said with a very enthusiastic smile: "Hello, hello, my name is Chi Zhong Scale, the name comes from the golden scale, how is it that I took it myself." Xinghuo, you should be younger than me, just call me Brother Chi in the future. ”

Ji Xinghuo couldn't bear his enthusiasm.

And he was keenly aware that although Chi Zhonglu looked like a brother, he was afraid that he had doubts about himself in his heart, at least not as close as he seemed on the surface.

He just made a show for Ren Mian.

The scales in the pool are a little afraid of Ren Mian.

Ji Xinghuo grasped this detail and nodded, "Okay, Brother Chi." ”

Ren Mian suddenly corrected, "Xinghuo, you just call him Zhongscale." Chi Zhongshan smiled, "It's okay to call it, Sister Ren, you have the final say." ”

Ji Xinghuo didn't say anything.

"Let's go back." Ren Mian's eyes showed a little helplessness. Obviously, she doesn't like the environment of the club, even if she has covered her face, but her beautiful figure still can't hide from the vicious-eyed men around her, who frequently cast inquiring eyes.

With that, she went outside.

Chi Zhonglan took out a stack of banknotes and sent the woman in the card seat away, scooped up the spear and carried it on his shoulder, hooked up with Ji Xinghuo, and followed Ren Mian together.

"Xinghuo, you're a ranger, right?" Chi Zhonglu asked with a smell of wine.

Ji Xinghuo nodded.

"It's not easy!" Chi Zhonglu shook his head and sighed: "Sister Ren has always wanted to recruit shooters for the team, but her requirements are too high, and few people can pass her test, and she has been on and off for almost two years, and finally waited for you to come." ”

Ji Xinghuo felt the same way.

According to Ren Mian's standards, the shooters who can pass the level in the entire Olympia, and the ranks below the Super Ranger may not exceed ten.

This kind of shooter whose strength far exceeds that of the same level, which is not a famous name, or backed by a big force, has long been excavated and co-opted, how can he casually join someone else's team.

"I used to be a shooter, but now with you, it's much easier for me." Chi Zhong's face was happy.

Ji Xinghuo couldn't help but be a little skeptical.

"You can also shoot?"

"It's barely strong, it's a little more accurate than the average ranger, but it often shoots crookedly." Chi Zhonglu frowned sadly at the mention of archery, and looked unbearable, "But apart from me, Sister Ren and Caiyi are not suitable to carry bows, of course, I can only serve as a part-time servant." ”

Ji Xinghuo nodded in understanding, many teams are like this.

Shooters are important and indispensable, but qualified shooters are very rare, so they have to let other Inhumans in the team take on temporary positions, each with a bow, to make up for quality with quantity.

It's okay to shoot crookedly in the melee, but I'm most afraid of shooting my teammates.

Such improvised shooters tend to throw away their bows after firing two arrows at the first wave of contact with the enemy, and grab their weapons in hand-to-hand combat so as not to hit their teammates in the ass.

However, listening to the meaning of Chi Zhong's scales, there seems to be no one else in this team except him, Ren Mian and that "Caiyi".

The whole team plus myself is four people?

This......

In general, the optimal number of people for a hunting party is five to ten people.

Melee combat, marksman, healing, field control, scouting, all of them have to have at least one role, and some require two or three more secure.

Less than five people, a loss of one or two in battle can cause an avalanche rout.

It is also difficult to arrange a vigil when the camp is resting.

With more than 10 people, the larger the team becomes, the easier it is to reveal their whereabouts, and the less loot is distributed to each person, the average return decreases.

Ren Mian's team consisted of only three people before he joined.

And it seems like it's been a couple of years.

"Are there only four of us?" Ji Xinghuo couldn't help but ask.

At this time, the three of them had already left the club, Ren Mian heard his words, turned around and said confidently: "Four people are enough, if it is not necessary in the future, I will not recruit any more teammates." ”

Chi Zhonglu also patted Ji Xinghuo's shoulder.

"We're not your average hunting team, four is a lot." His face was full of pride, "Starfire, you'll understand soon." ”

Woowoo......

A steam bus emitting white mist and soot drove down the street, Ren Mian beckoned, and the steam bus stopped on the side of the road and opened the door.

Electronic devices and internal combustion engines cannot be used in the astral plane, but steam engines can.

Olympia is a large city, and most people travel on steam-powered buses, except for the Inhumans who have mounts.

Steam engine technology was all the rage in Olympia.

In addition to buses, there are scenes of steam engines everywhere in the city, the most conspicuous is to protect the city's city walls, a large number of steam boilers are installed inside, and many powerful steam ballistas are used to drive the many powerful steam ballistas on the city walls to defend against enemies from the air.

There are also trains and steam airships that travel daily between Olympia and other cities.

The three of them got on the bus, and Ren Mianqian bought three tickets.

They sat at the back of the bus.

It was the first time for Ji Xinghuo to sit in such a slow car, the speed was only about 60 kilometers per hour, it felt quite fresh, and there were many passengers in the car, but everyone was used to it.

A moment later.

The bus drove into a quiet neighborhood, and Ren Mian took the lead to get off the bus and led the two into a high-end villa area.

Each of these houses is a detached villa with an area of at least 2,000 square meters, with private gardens, shooting ranges, and lawns outside the buildings, each separated by tall tree beds and various greenery, and patrolled by security guards every few minutes.

Even on earth, this is a mansion that only the top billionaires can own.

Not to mention in the Astral Boundary.

Ji Xinghuo couldn't help but have doubts about Ren Mian's identity, how could a super stranger have the money to buy such a luxurious villa?

Even if it is rented, the monthly rent is very high.

He looked at Ren Mian's back, and suddenly felt that this woman was even more mysterious.

Ren Mian and the three of them walked to the door of a villa, a fence blocked the inside, she used the key to open the small door next to the gate, and what greeted her was a spacious lawn.

Walking across the lawn to the front of the main building, the main entrance was pushed open.

A beautiful young woman greeted her.

She was wearing a well-fitting black combat uniform, about 1.65 meters tall, with a light body, a katana and a short knife hanging from her waist left and right, delicate and small facial features, bright eyes, and long black hair tied behind her head, just like the gentle temperament of the sister next door.

Although her skin was slightly pale, it did not affect the sweet smile on her face.

"Sister, Scale-kun, you're back!"

Ren Mian nodded, pointed to Ji Xinghuo and said, "Caiyi, he is Ji Xinghuo, our new teammate." You arrange a room for him later. ”

"Xinghuo-kun, I'm Jiangnan Caiyi, please take care of me in the future, please."

Jiang Nan Caiyi was happy and polite, and he bowed deeply to Ji Xinghuo, and his tone of voice was also soft, which made people feel pity.

Ji Xinghuo is not very suitable for such a big gift when they meet for the first time.

Even in Fuso Autonomous Province, there are not many people who still retain these etiquette practices.

"Cai Yi said seriously, we are teammates, and it is appropriate to help each other." Ji Xinghuo can only say that.

The four of them walked through the door.

Ji Xinghuo looked at the spacious and bright living room, the ground was spotless, obviously someone did hygiene every day to keep it clean, even the sofa was clean, and there was a fresh fragrance of flowers in the air, which made people feel refreshed.

Chi Zhongyan casually leaned the spear against the wall, covered in alcohol, and lay down on the sofa with no image.

Ren Mian frowned, but did not speak.

Jiang Nancaiyi ran into the kitchen in small steps, and quickly brought a plate of tea, one cup of flower tea for Ren Mian, a cup of honey water for the scale of the pool, and one cup for Ji Xinghuo, "I'm sorry, I don't know the taste of Xinghuojun, so I also prepared the same flower tea for you as my sister." ”

"Thank you, the flower tea is very good." Ji Xinghuo took the cup.

"Sit down, don't be too inhibited."

Ren Mian said: "This is the permanent base of our team, you can live, cultivate, and take vacations, just as if you were in your own home." ”

Ji Xinghuo nodded.

He walked to Chi Zhonglan and was about to sit down, but saw Ren Mian on the other side take off his hat and untie the scarf covering his face.

Finally, Ji Xinghuo saw her true face.

He was stunned.

Ren Mian's appearance is more beautiful than expected, and ten times more beautiful, a hundred times more beautiful, Ji Xinghuo's brain seems to have been hammered, and it is instantly booming, and I can't think of how to describe her peerless appearance.

She's like the world's top AI-generated virtual goddess, satisfying all the best elements and finding no flaws.

But she is also a living real person, ingenious, natural and perfect, from virtual to real.

It's hard to imagine anyone in the world who could look like this!

Jiangnan Caiyi is already a top beauty, but when compared with Ren Mian, it looks very ordinary and overshadowed.

Ji Xinghuo couldn't help but think to himself, if she had to find a beauty of her level, it should only be the hot "Sword Immortal" Zhao Manying!

If these two were to be compared face to face, it would be difficult to distinguish between them.

"Am I good-looking?" Ren Mian suddenly smiled at Ji Xinghuo, and suddenly it was like a hundred flowers blooming, and the room was full of light.

Ji Xinghuo's heart beat a few times, nodded subconsciously, and blurted out:

"Beautiful!"

As soon as the words fell, he found that the three of them were all looking at him, with a strange expression, and he couldn't help but feel embarrassed, but he still pretended to be calm.

"I'm serious, Sister Ren, you are the most beautiful person I've ever seen in my life."

"Thank you for the compliment."

Ren Mian took a sip of flower tea and put it down, "I'll go upstairs to rest first." Caiyi, you arrange a room for Xinghuo, everyone goes to bed early, we still have something to do tomorrow. ”

When her figure disappeared at the top of the stairs, Ji Xinghuo withdrew his gaze.

The scales in the pool winked at him.

Ji Xinghuo suddenly remembered something, just in time to change the topic, and asked, "I don't know yet, what is the name of our team?" "Usually every team has a name, whether it's officially registered or private.

"Sister Ren didn't say it?" There was some surprise in the scales in the pool.

"Nope."

Chi Zhonglu looked at Jiangnan Caiyi, "Caiyi, it's better for you to talk about it." ”

Jiang Nan Caiyi seemed a little ashamed to speak, and hesitated for a few seconds before saying, "Xinghuo Jun, we are the 'Five Stars and Ten Realms Only My Exclusive Team'. ”
