Chapter 36: The Adventurer's Guild
Jiangnan base city, one of the six base cities in China, there is a skyscraper with 88 floors in the city center, there are very dazzling "adventurer associations" on the skyscraper wall, around the first floor of the skyscraper, there is a beautiful square and the largest fountain in the whole Jiangnan city, and around the square, there are more than 1,000 heavily armed soldiers patrolling, prohibiting any outsiders from stepping into it. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Passers-by walked by here, all looking at this skyscraper with curiosity and envy.
In the entire Jiangnan City, the vast majority of people have never been in it in their lives.
"Drop!"
An electronic voice rang out.
Immediately, the soldiers who were standing guard and patrolling immediately got out of the way.
"Sir, please come in. "The doorman at the entrance of the lobby of the skyscraper, respectfully saluted.
The young black-haired warrior stepped straight inside the skyscraper.
"Brother Qian! Ano, it's time to call the captain!" In the building, Zhang Yang, who had been waiting for a long time, saw this young martial artist, and immediately stood up and shouted excitedly.
This young man is naturally Xiang Qian.
Today is the day when the Thrilling Squad gathers. In this month's time, Xiang Qian did not waste a single minute, and devoted himself to cultivation.
The floor of the hall is light, and some simple decorations are extraordinary.
The waiters in the hall are handsome in the male and slender in the female, each with a smile that makes people feel like a spring breeze.
Soon, the two Chang brothers also came to report. Together with Xiang Qian and Xue Ming, they sat on the sofa together, waiting for the legendary Shi Lei.
Xiang Qian, Cang Ming, and Zhang Yang were all sitting on the sofa.
"Three gentlemen, what do you want to drink?" the waiter asked with a slight bow, smiling.
"Tieguanyin!"
"Pu'er tea, with a bit of jasmine flavor!"
Cang Ming and Zhang Yang, these two martial artists both spoke directly, Xiang Qian was a little surprised when he heard it, when they were in the True Martial Arts Hall, these two often drank alcohol. Zhang Ke, whose arms were very strong and looked like gibbons, said with a smile: "Captain, you must not be sloppy when entering the wilderness area, and you are not allowed to drink. ”
Xiang Qian suddenly, yes, you can't be careless in the wilderness area at all times, how can you drink now?
"Give it to me, and have a cup of pu'er. Xiang Qian said with a smile.
The sound of quiet music echoed in the hall, it was a piece played by a flute, and as for what kind of music it was, in his own taste, he could not recognize it at all. However, the sound of the flute is sometimes melodious and soothing, sometimes fast and light, which makes the whole person's soul much refreshed.
"Captain, the ground floor is where the welcome rests. On the second floor, you can find a place where you can sell your goods. He smiled, "This adventurer's association mall, the price of the item." Generally, the full price of the items is lower than that of the 'Taihegong' online mall. Of course, it's higher than half the price we have. ”
Xiang Qian nodded, half price, that is for the insiders of the True Martial Arts Hall to enjoy.
"The greatest benefit of the Adventurer's Guild Mall is ...... We can sell some of the materials for the bodies of the monsters we hunt to them at a high price. Chen Gu explained, "If we hunt monster materials, if we sell them to the martial arts hall. The price is relatively low, but the martial arts hall will contribute to us. Sold to this adventurer's guild mall, the price is high, but there is no contribution value. How to choose, naturally, is up to you. ”
Xiang Qian smiled, for this, he had read some posts on the martial arts forum, and he already knew it.
Sold to the martial arts hall, there are contribution points and money.
Selling to the Adventurers' Guild is only money, but the price is high.
"Brother Wang, you've stayed up for most of the night, rest. I'll leave it to me here. A crisp and gentle voice sounded, and Xiang Qian, who was originally holding the teacup, turned his head sharply as if he had been electrocuted.
I saw a girl in a white shirt and black suit pants at the bar, changing the guard with another manager.
There are a total of 12 waiters and a manager in this bar, which is open 24 hours a day, 8 hours a day to change the guard, and rotate three shifts.
"Joyna?" Xiang Qian looked at the female manager in the bar in disbelief, a professional woman, with a natural nobility in her demeanor. Being able to be a manager in the bar in the Welcome Hall of the Adventurers' Guild is definitely not something that the average person is qualified to come into. This is a place dedicated to martial artists!
It's just an ordinary waiter, I'm afraid you have to graduate from a prestigious university, and you have to go through a lot of training in etiquette and so on, not to mention a bar manager.
"Joyna She ......"
Why did the simple high school girl in the past suddenly have a completely different temperament?
"Brother Chen, Brother Zhang, I'll go over for a moment. Xiang Gan's backpack, shield, and war knife were all placed on the sofa, and he got up with a smile and walked towards the bar.
Inside the bar.
Joyna was looking down at some of the drinks and other reserves in the bar, when suddenly—
“JOJO。 A familiar voice rang out.
"Huh?" Joyna was taken aback, the people who knew their real names in the hall on this floor generally called themselves 'Manager Joe', while ordinary warriors didn't know their names, how could someone call themselves 'JOJO', and this voice was so familiar. Joyna looked up—
At this moment, Xiang Qian was looking down outside the bar, while Joyna, who was half-squatting to check the drinks, just looked up.
The two looked at each other.
At this moment, Xiang Qian and Joyna both had a sudden feeling, and there was a throbbing in their hearts.
"Xiang Qian, why are you here?" Joyna reacted, and even stood up and smiled.
"EVEN JOJO YOU CAN BE A MANAGER HERE, WHY CAN'T I BE HERE?" XIANG QIAN SAID WITH A SMILE, LOOKING AT THE YOUNG GIRL IN FRONT OF HIM, XIANG QIAN COULDN'T HELP BUT THINK OF WHEN HE WAS IN THE GYM, HE SAT AT THE BACK OF THE CLASSROOM, SILENTLY WATCHING JOYNA'S BACK AGAIN AND AGAIN...... I've had a crush on me for a long time, but I haven't had time to say it.
I thought it would be difficult for me to see Joyna again in the future, but I didn't expect to see Joyna in this HR alliance mall. And it was before I went to the wilderness area for the first time, I met Joyna.
"Ah, Xiang Gan, are you a martial artist?" Joyna couldn't help but be surprised when she saw Xiang Qian dressed up.
"Well, I'm going to the wilderness right away. Xiang Qian said with a smile.
"Wilderness?" Joyna's face changed slightly.
The entire land of the world, except for the base city, is commonly known as the wilderness area. For the humans living in Base City, the Wilderness Zone is synonymous with the Forbidden Land of Death, which is teeming with all kinds of monsters. There are insidious and weird, there are powerful and savage, and there are many near-invincible existences.
It's a place where only the strongest warriors of the human race can break through and fight monsters.
Joyna didn't expect it...... Xiang Qian turned out to be a martial artist, and he was about to enter the wilderness area.
To Xiang Gan, to be honest, Joyna also knew that Xiang Qian liked herself a little...... In fact, there is no way to hide this kind of thing, Xiang Gan often secretly looks at people's backs in class every day, Joyna occasionally looks back and naturally sees Xiang Gan staring at herself, naturally, Joyna understands Xiang Gan's thoughts.
It's just that both sides didn't break it.
"Captain, that man is here. Zhang Yang shouted.
"I passed. Xiang Qian said to Joyna.
"Hmm. Joyna nodded.
That person is naturally Shi Lei.
Including Xiang Qian and Cang Ming, everyone stood up.
For this Shi Lei, who is a little legendary, these people are more or less in awe and ...... Curious.
Xiang Qian walked back to his original position, and at this time two more people came, among them, the girl had shoulder-length black hair, dark green eyes, and a tall figure with perfect measurements, such a girl can always be the focus of people. The other was a sturdy man with two black sledgehammers tinged with yellow on his back.
"I'll go. "For the only general-level martial artist in the team, Xiang Gan, as the captain, must show a corresponding posture.
According to Qiu Tong, this Shi Lei is a person of the same generation as Jiang Nian, and he should be much older than Xiang Qian.
But at first glance, Shi Lei's face is very young, but there is a very strong sense of vicissitudes on his body. This sense of vicissitudes cannot be cultivated casually, it must be formed after walking through thousands of mountains, seeing thousands of rivers, and experiencing changes in the world. Combined with his extraordinarily young face, an indescribable sense of contradiction is formed.
And what surprised Xiang Qian even more was that there was no trace of the feeling of a warrior on Shi Lei's body, there was no bulging muscles on his arms, but some slender, and even his waist was not very straight. Compared with a martial artist, he is more like a down-and-out scholar.
That's right, down-and-out scholar, this is Shi Lei's first impression of Xiang Gan.
"Brother Shi, I'm Xiang Qian, please take care of me. Xiang Qian stretched out his hand.
Shi Lei grinned, but the feeling of loneliness on his body always lingered: "Xiang Qian, the senior management is very optimistic about you." You have good talent, and I believe that you will quickly become a star of real martial arts. I will do my best to help you. ”
This sentence is full of sincerity.
In the back, the Chang brothers and Zhang Yang both stretched out their ears to listen, and when they heard the word "high-level", they thought that it should be a good choice to join this "Amazing Squad".
People are selfish. Talents like the Chang brothers can definitely join the stronger team, although for various reasons, they have joined the Jinghong team, but if they can get greater benefits, it would be great.
"Then thank you Brother Shu. Xiang Qian nodded.
In any case, Xiang Qian's first goal now is to lead a good team.
"Take a break, we'll go right away. Xiang Qian said.
"Yes, Captain. ”
Including Shi Lei, everyone nodded
Only twenty minutes later, Shi Lei and the others, who had finished drinking tea, got up: "Go, go, go to the wilderness area." Xiang Qian also immediately put up his sword and shield.
"Xiang Qian. A voice rang out.
Xiang Qian turned his head to look.
Joyna's chest rose and fell slightly at the moment, I don't know why, thinking that Xiang Qian was about to enter the dangerous wilderness area, Joyna was a little flustered, maybe for this boy who had a crush on him before, Joyna also had a special feeling.
"Huh?" Xiang Qian looked at Joyna.
"I'll start school in a few days, but during college, I would come here as a manager on Saturdays and Sundays during the day. Joyna shouted, "You'll come by then." Joyna's face turned a little red when she shouted this.
"Okay, I'll come. ”
Xiang Qian showed a hint of a smile.
"It's soaked so quickly, it's amazing!" Zhang Yang next to him patted Xiang Gan on the shoulder and laughed.
"This is the benefit of being young, beautiful women are upside down. Shi Lei next to him also laughed and said, since they decided to let Xiang Gan join Xiang Gan's Jinghong team, they naturally regarded Xiang Qian as a brother.
Xiang Qian just smiled.
"Let's go!"
"Get in the car!"
The five-member team took the association's special car directly to the train station, and took the train to leave the base city and go to the wilderness area.
