Chapter 185: Fighting for Fame (I)
Everyone acted separately, not to mention Qingfeng and Rice Bucket, Ouyang Feng, Mingyue, and Pei Di walked around the streets all day, although they found a few shops that were exchanged, but after some inquiry, the merchants of these shops were just rented shops, and they were only exchanged for a short period of time, which did not echo Ouyang Feng's requirements, so they had to give up and decided to look for it tomorrow.
Ouyang Feng didn't look for an intermediary before, because he didn't want too many people to notice them, but if he couldn't find it, he couldn't help it, in order to open as much as possible and get on the right track to collect information, even if it was worth taking a little risk. Returning to the villa in the evening, Ouyang Feng first talked about the experience of the three of them, and then asked Qingfeng with interest about the progress of their recruitment of mercenaries, but before Qingfeng could say anything, Ouyang Feng also guessed that they should be very smooth, because the big mouth of this guy in the rice bucket kept cracking, and his face was indescribably proud and proud.
The mercenary profession is very popular in this world, especially after various cultivation resources are gradually scarce, the guy who originally disdained the mercenary industry but did not have the support of a strong family or force had to pull down his face to become a mercenary, and while earning living expenses, he also accumulated some gold coins as much as possible to buy much-needed items and materials.
Ula City is a city that does not distinguish between cultivation systems and races, and the population here far exceeds that of nearby Zhongping City and Demon Cloud City, so the mercenary union here is also the largest one within thousands of miles in the vicinity, and there are countless mercenaries who come here every day to find opportunities to make money, but the mercenaries are not flattering.
At first, no one was optimistic about the mercenary industry, but after the first few batches of mercenaries and mercenary groups made a lot of money, everyone else was also red-eyed. They all signed up as mercenaries. And the mercenary union. In order to develop and grow, the threshold has been lowered again and again, so that the current mercenaries are uneven, high and low, whether they are cultivators or ordinary people who can't even beat a soil dog, as long as they pay a little fee, they can become mercenaries.
Although the mercenary union does not have very high requirements for mercenaries, it can also be said that there are none. However, the registration of the mercenary group is still relatively serious, and it is required that there must be at least one cultivator with the strength of the foundation building period, this requirement is not a requirement for Ouyang Feng at all, among them, only Elena's cultivation has not reached the foundation building period, and the others are all cultivators at the foundation building stage level, so after some arguments between Qing Feng and them, Qing Feng is the second master to dismiss the public. After showing a little strength, Shun LĂŹ registered the Tiger Mercenary Group.
Speaking of the name of the Tiger Mercenary Group, Qingfeng couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly. Because after testing Qingfeng's strength, when the staff registered, when he heard the rice bucket shouting about the Tiger Mercenary Group, the expression on his face was very strange, and after consulting Qingfeng's opinion, after seeing that Qingfeng had no objections, the staff kindly reminded:" This, let me say first, because there are a large number of registered mercenary groups, it is inevitable that the same name will appear, but in order to distinguish it, the mercenary union will not register the same name for others repeatedly, and unfortunately, the name Tiger has already been registered, and it is not the first time, so do you see if it is a different name?"
I heard that the name Tiger had been registered by someone else, and the first thing I said was that the rice bucket that used the name Tiger slapped his thigh in frustration, but Qingfeng heard the strangeness in the staff's words, stopped the complaints of the rice bucket and others and cursed the mercenary group that robbed them of their ideas, and said to the staff with a pleasant face: "That, what do you mean by 'not the first time' just now?"
The staff's face was a little ugly when they heard this, but before he could explain, a bearded sweater next to them said in a condescending tone with a vicious voice and an arrogant face: "If you insist, you can challenge the current Tiger Mercenary Group, as long as you can win, the name Tiger is yours." â
A thin follower beside the bearded Khan added disdainfully: "I'm afraid you don't have that ability." â
Qingfeng turned his head, looked at the bearded sweat, and said with a smile: "If I guess correctly, you are from the Tiger Mercenary Regiment, right?"
The bearded Khan said proudly: "That's right, even if you kid has a little vision, I am the leader of the Tiger Mercenary Group, Zhan Tianhu, a middle-level swordsman, how about I'm afraid? I think you should change your name, it's better to call it the Little White-faced Mercenary Group, haha, look at you all with oily hair and powdery face, washing those resentful women and their underwear is just right for you." The shouting of the beard caused a burst of laughter from everyone nearby.
The rice bucket was so angry by the words of the bearded sweater, Barlow and Bruce also glared angrily, and the three of them were about to step forward to teach this short-eyed guy a lesson, but they were stopped by Qingfeng.
Qingfeng turned his head to look at the staff who were obviously afraid of the Heavenly Tigers, and said calmly, "Is what he said true? As long as we win against them, we can take the name of their mercenary group and become the Tiger Mercenary Group?"
The staff glanced at Zhan Tianhu timidly, then nodded to Qingfeng and said, "Yes, but you can only challenge it once a year, and you have to agree to it." â
Qingfeng nodded, and said to Zhan Tianhu with a smile: "Commander Zhantian Tiger, right? I want to challenge, I don't know if you dare to accept our challenge?"
Zhan Tianhu stopped laughing wildly, and looked at Qingfeng in surprise, although he had a rough appearance, but he was thoughtful, he had been a mercenary for a few years, and he had seen a lot of people and things, and this little white face in front of him actually dared to challenge after he showed his identity and cultivation, which showed that this little white face had any more powerful reinforcements or backers, otherwise with his cultivation in the early stage of foundation building, he should not have the courage to challenge.
As soon as Qingfeng's words fell, the mercenary hall suddenly became quiet and the needle drop could be heard, followed by a shrill whistle and coaxing.
Zhan Tianhu originally couldn't figure out the details of Qingfeng, and planned to temporarily refuse Qingfeng's challenge, but so many people in the hall cheered, and he couldn't say anything if he refused, but Zhan Tianhu was not stupid, his eyes rolled, and after glancing at Qingfeng's four people, he smiled and said: "According to the rules of the challenge, if you ask for a challenge, if I accept it, the time and method of the challenge will be determined by me." Now, I solemnly declare that I, Zhantian Tiger, accept your challenge, the time is now, the place is the test ground, and the way is to decide the winner one-on-one. With that, there was a burst of unpleasant laughter.
In the mind of Zhantian Tiger, among the four people on the other side, only Qingfeng, the little white face, was the cultivation in the early stage of foundation building, (when they came out, everyone suppressed their cultivation in the Qi refining period, because the registered mercenary group Qingfeng only raised the revealed cultivation to the foundation building period.) Although the other people are also cultivators, if they fight in a group, they may not be able to do each other, after all, there is also a magician apprentice under him, and there are still more than a dozen guys who are five big and three thick, but they have no ability, but if they fight alone, Zhan Tianhu feels that with his own cultivation higher than the other party, coupled with the limitation of the venue, he has taken a big advantage against a cultivator like Qingfeng, occupying so many advantages, Zhan Tianhu does not think that he will lose, so he will agree to Qingfeng's challenge.
Qing Feng smiled when he saw that Zhan Tianhu agreed, and the three of Rice Bucket, Barlow, and Bruce looked at Zhan Tianhu with sympathy in their eyes, because they had already felt strong anger from behind Qingfeng's seemingly harmless smile.
Qingfeng had been to the test site before, and he took a deep breath and was about to walk over, but was stopped by Zhantian Tiger reaching out. Qingfeng still maintained a gentle smile and said, "What?"
Zhan Tianhu pouted and said, "I said that you don't know anything before you dare to stir up trouble? Qingfeng was stunned when he heard this, and turned his head to look at the staff.
The staff nodded again and again and said, "That's right, the challenger needs to pay a deposit of one hundred gold coins, if you win, we will return the original amount, but if you lose, the money will be transferred to the other party." Qingfeng shrugged indifferently, took out a hundred gold coins from the storage bracelet, and threw them on the counter.
Qingfeng's indifferent appearance of a hundred gold coins made everyone stunned, and they were all relieved in an instant, all of them thought that Qingfeng and the young master of a rich family were going to use this name to pick up girls or something after they were ready to register a mercenary group, because this kind of thing is not uncommon.
Zhan Tianhu saw Qingfeng casually throw out a hundred gold coins, and couldn't help but look at Qingfeng a few more times, he also had the same idea as the others, so he secretly decided that he couldn't be too heavy for a while, because Zhan Tianhu was worried that Qingfeng's backers behind them would find him trouble. But winning is still to win, after all, those hundred gold coins may not be a big deal to these rich children, but for them little mercenaries, it is a lot of income, enough for them to eat and drink well and then go to a cheap brothel to squander for a month or two.
After paying the deposit, Qingfeng was about to turn around and go to the test site to teach Zhan Tianhu, a disrespectful guy, a good lesson, but a voice stopped him again, only to hear the staff reluctantly say: "That, you still have to pay two gold coins." â
At this time, Qingfeng's anger could no longer be suppressed, since he arrived here, he was called around because of his ignorance, and now he was blocked by Zhan Tianhu and this Xiao Si one after another, Qingfeng turned his head angrily, smashed his fist on the counter, and said angrily: "You want a deposit of 100 gold coins, I gave it to you, how can you still ask me for money now, do you think I am good at talking, then I am wronged?" After speaking, he pinched the knuckles of his fingers and clicked, looking like he was going to beat people if he didn't give a satisfactory answer. (To be continued......)
