Claude bowed humbly, waved his hand, and led his subordinates away dejectedly.
The Magistrate seemed to be a little unresigned as he said in a low voice: "President Theon, this brat clearly doesn't put us in his eyes, how can he let him off so easily?"
A faint smile hung on Theon's face as he lowered his head and said to Magistrate, "Don't think that I don't know what you and Claude are up to. If it wasn't for your uncle, who is representing the association, protecting you. "Believe me, you can't sit still in this position for a long time."
Magistrate immediately lowered his head, wiped off his sweat, and left with the soldiers.
Su Yun silently retracted her spear, and did not even look at Theon, and turned to leave.
Theon laughed bitterly, this was probably the only time in his life that someone had ignored him. He didn't mind, and turned his walking stick to walk into the base, and said to Teddy and the others: "I am truly sorry, I have left a bad impression on you all. I am the Vice President of the Remot's Association, Theon. I will personally take care of this matter and guarantee that I will give everyone a reasonable explanation. "
In the Remot, the president of the trade union was without a doubt a great figure. Although Theon was only the Vice Chairman, the second person to take the chair was obviously not someone that Teddy and the others could get to know normally. Now that they had been apologized to their faces, they were even more flattered.
However, it was as if Zero did not hear Theon's words. He only supported Lea and picked up the small beast, preparing to return to the tent. Theon rubbed his nose, shook his head and called out: "You're a mercenary right?"
Not answering, Theon could only continue: "I have a mission for you."
"I've already taken enough missions." Zero finally stopped.
"Hey, this mission isn't even in the union's taskbar." Theon said with a smile.
Zero turned around and asked, "What about the reward?"
"This is a promotion mission, the reward depends on the completion of the mission. All I can tell you is that the minimum wage is 500 yuan. " Theon's smile grew wider and wider, because he knew that he had already garnered zero interest.
He had just come out of the union and knew that he had accepted several missions by himself. From this, it could be seen that this mercenary was in need of money.
Su Ming frowned and asked, "Why are you looking for me?"
A mission to level up was not an ordinary one, it was a serial quest. The difficulty of the mission varied from low to high, and the reward was just as Theon had said, dependent on the degree of completion of the mission. The higher the risk of this type of quest, the higher the reward.
However, there were strict rules for this kind of quest. It was only open to mercenaries over the third step or Hunters. As for Zero, he was just a beginner mercenary.
Theon shrugged and said, "Because you dare to challenge me and insist on your own thoughts. People like you don't give up so easily. A promotion mission is perfect for you. But more importantly, because you killed a butcher. "
The first few words were nothing but bullsh * t, but the last few words made him believe in Theon's sincerity.
Chapter 39 - Eating well
In turbulent times, respect and admiration were just bullshit. Strength was the cornerstone of everything.
If the permit issued by the Parkland's valve didn't inform the trade union through the checkpoint before they entered the base, if it wasn't for Theon's interest in the mercenary who called out his mission record, if it wasn't for the fact that he had killed a butcher by himself in the Silver Tree City. In that case, Theon would not come to the temporary Stophouse, and similarly, he would not give Zero Widow the mission of levelling up that only mercenaries of the third step and above could receive.
And all of this was inseparable from it, power!
Without power, you could only live like a dog in the wilderness. Only with sufficient strength can you be respected, as well as other resources.
Butchers were level three dangerous monsters. Any mercenary or hunter under level three could upgrade their license by at least one level by killing a butcher. However, the zeros at that time did not have any license, so even if he killed the butcher, he would only receive the primary recognition. Of course, there were also elements in the guild of Parkland that doubted the result of the fight against zero. Otherwise, zeros can be licensed at least once.
Theon would naturally not unreservedly trust Zero, but as long as Zero's battle record had 70% credibility, then he would be qualified to carry out this mission. Of course, Theon had other backup plans. After all, this was one of the important tasks related to the Remot's expansion plan. It was impossible for the Vice Chairman to give it to a mercenary to accomplish alone.
"Come to the union hall at three in the afternoon. "I will give you a detailed introduction of this mission as well as some companions for you to get to know." Theon said to Su Yun before adding, "As for the safety of Stophouse, you can rest assured that I will not make the same promise. "Believe me, I still have that ability."
Thus, the Vice Chairman of the trade union left, while Zero Team and Lea returned to the tent. When Teddy brought some bread over, Zero looked at him whose left eye was swollen and said, "Thank you for taking care of Lea when I left."
"Don't say that, man. The people of the wilderness all knew that only by taking care of each other would they be able to live longer. Furthermore, we owe you a huge favor. " Teddy scratched his head and said embarrassedly: "But we won't be able to help in any way, if you didn't arrive in time …."
"Let's not talk about this anymore, you guys should eat something first. We also have to go to Commercial District in the afternoon to find work. " Teddy pointed to the bread and then left the tent.
On the plate were two bread that had gone mouldy. The food was past its shelf life, but there was very little radiation. People of this era, especially those who grew up in difficult environments, did not have stomachs so weak that they could not eat out of date food.
He took half a loaf of bread and put it in his mouth. Then, he pushed the remaining food in front of Lea, who shook his head and said, "I'll just eat half of it. You can eat the rest, but you still have to go on a mission, how can you not have the strength to do so? "
"It's okay, I'm not like you. "Half the energy in the bread is already enough to sustain me for three days." In his opinion, Lea needed more food.
Beside her, Lala was calling out in a low voice, reminding Zero not to forget it.
Zero picked Lara up and said, "Why don't you go on a mission with me? There's nothing else in the ruins, but there's quite a bit of scrap metal."
When she heard that, her eyes lit up. When she excitedly patted her two wings and ears, she flew around Su Yun and Lea twice.
"Zero, why did you accompany me to leave Z7?" Lea finally could not hold back and asked: "You should stay. "In fact, you might even be recruited into the main company to hold important positions …"
A hand pressed onto Lea's head, forcing her to stop. "Because I want to be a man, not a dog. No matter how high her position is, she's still just a dog! "
Lea trembled slightly, then said: "But you have helped me so much, yet I have nothing to repay you with … "No, maybe …"
Su Yun looked at her doubtfully, but unexpectedly, Lea suddenly fell into his embrace. The girl slowly pulled at Zero's hand, then pressed it to her chest. Lea shyly said, "If you want, I can give it to you. Though I don't think I can make you as comfortable as those women. But I promise you, this body has never been touched by another man before. "
A flame rose from Lea's lower abdomen. Lea's face was as red as a cherry red, which was much more alluring than her naked body. Zero could feel the fullness and elasticity of the palm.
As Lea sat on Zero, the first thing she felt was that he had a change that belonged solely to men. She moaned and felt her body heat up. However, she still reached out her hand to take off her robe
.
However, Zero's hand stopped her.
He carried Lea and let her lie on the ground in a comfortable position.
"If this is a reward, then we'll talk about it when I come back." "Before the mission, it's not suitable for intense exercise." Zero said.
He was not a Puritan who pursued a ascetic life, and he did not have to live with himself. Lea was a beautiful girl. She was young and healthy. However, he was more rational. He knew that after having a great time of pleasures, his body would inevitably slow down his nerves a little. There was nothing wrong with staying in this state during normal times. However, after considering the quest in the afternoon, he decided to stay in peak condition.
Of course, after the mission was completed and if Lea was willing, he wouldn't mind plucking this sweet fruit.
Lea shyly but obediently nodded her head.
In times of turmoil, facing harsh environments and ubiquitous dangers, men showed unparalleled importance in terms of both physical ability and adaptability. The status of women, on the other hand, had fallen to the level of the Middle Ages. For men, they were more the object of sex and reproduction, that was all.
In this era, women, even in their teens, could sell their young and tender bodies for three meals to feed themselves. On the other hand, the reason why Lea was able to remain a virgin until she was 18 years old was all thanks to Old Jack.
But now that Old Jack was dead, if there wasn't zero, Lea would probably not even be complete. She would even be sold to the nobility as a slave for her beautiful looks. That inhuman life would be the nightmare of all females. So now that she had a narrow but independent free space, it was already a blessing for her.
She did not mind dedicating herself to zero. No matter how one looked at it, zero was still her ideal choice. And more importantly, Lea could see that she wasn't just some tool on the bed or a breeding target, but was filled with respect and undetectable love.
Just these two points alone gave Lea sufficient reasons to open her mind to zero. Now, she was like an obedient little wife, obediently finishing her food under Zero's orders. She then laid on the ground and fell asleep.
Only when Lea's nose started breathing evenly did Zero call him and pull him away, quietly withdrawing from the tent. He left the Stophouse and headed towards the administrative district. Lea did not need to worry about her safety for the time being. If Theon's guarantee was ineffective, then she would use ten times or even a hundred times the usual methods to seek justice for the vice president of the trade union.
But now, he chose to trust.
Chapter 40 - Promotion Missions
After arriving at the main hall of the trade union, Zero reported Theon's name and he was quickly brought to an elegant office. As the second chair that was handed over to the Remot, Theon's office wasn't as wide as Zero had imagined, but it was exquisite enough. Whether it was the office appliances or the leather sofa that served as a reception, both smelled of the old era. These things could not be obtained with money alone. This meant that Theon did not have a special hobby in this regard. This meant that he possessed a far greater power that he could not see on the surface.
Other than Theon, there were three other people in the office.
There were two men and one woman, and both men were Caucasian. One of them was dressed as a mercenary and was wearing a simple protective suit like Zero. However, he was more than double the size of the others and had a heavy machine gun on his back. Zero's mind quickly searched for information that matched the machine gun. It was an M134 air machine gun, usually mounted on a helicopter gunship. It had excellent firepower suppression and a maximum firing rate of 6000/min.
Of course, this machine gun's recoil was not something ordinary people could bear. Since this big guy could use it, then one thing was certain: it was at least at the third stage of strength enhancement. Otherwise, this person wouldn't be able to use this big fellow.
The other man beside the big man was much thinner. He wore a windbreaker and carried no weapons. But standing next to him, you can feel the chill. It was not the feeling of killing intent or other auras, but a real chill. If he didn't guess wrong, then this person must be someone with the ability of YuanSu Realm.
As for the last woman, she had the same Asian blood as Zero. Her long black hair was tied up high, and her face wasn't that pretty, but she had a fiery figure. The black tights outlined the contours of the body, and the lightweight composite armor on the shoulders, chest, and calves provided some protection. The sword hanging diagonally on his back made him think of the Blade Master class.
He did not carry the huge strength of a machine gunner, nor did he emit the aura of the Meta-Su Realm like the skinny one. Zero could not feel any aura from this woman, but that did not mean that she was weak. On the contrary, she made Zero feel more danger.
In the wilderness, a silent viper was much more troublesome than a ferocious bear.
"Come, let me introduce you." This is Zero, he has the mercenary license given to him by the Parkland's valve. "
After seeing Ling Yun come in, Theon stood up and introduced himself to everyone.
Under Theon's introduction, Zero also got to know the other three people.
The man with the heavy machine gun was called Tyrannosaurus Rex. Of course, this wasn't a name, but a code name. As expected, he had the strength strengthening ability of the third step, while the other abilities were the second step's defense strengthening and heavy weapons specialization.
The skinny guy was called Lafite, who was Russian. He only had one ability, but it was a skill that Su was proficient in. They were similarly powerhouses of the third step, but the power of the YuanSu Region was far greater than that of the Fighting Domain s. Therefore, even though Lafite's ability wasn't the more destructive Fire Element Su or Thunder Yuan Su, no one dared to look down on him.
As for the woman carrying the katana, her name was Su, and she was from China. Her abilities were relatively average, with the strength and agility proficiency of a rank 2 Magus, but her Sharp Weapon Specialist had reached rank 5. As far as he knew, weapons proficiency was the most common ability in the entire area, but once one reached the fifth step or above, no matter what weapon proficiency it was, one could still be called a master.
As one could imagine, this woman's attainments with the sword was definitely not to be trifled with.
Compared to them, Zero, who only had the first stage of Strength and Defense, and the second stage of Agility was pitifully weak. As for the Zero golden right eye's free vision, it belonged to the support type ability, so the combat power it could increase was limited. That was why when Theon reported the data to him, Zero could see that Tyrannosaurus and Lafite were both looking at him with disdain.
As for Ying, she didn't show any of her expression from start to finish.
Theon introduced the mission to the four people present in general.
The goal of the promotion mission was a state university in District B, Kadam, which was one of the most ideal strongholds in the expansion plan for the Remot. But now, this university was occupied by a group of monsters called rock spider. This mutated beast had a rock-like shell. Apart from its rock-like defense, it also had a good concealment effect.
The biggest problem was that rock spider s usually lived in a swarm, so this type of monster had a fast reproduction ability. This made them one of the monsters that was hard to completely exterminate. And every spring during the breeding season, the rock spider would be in an exceptionally excited state. At this point, their danger level would skyrocket.
Even though they were only Level 2 monsters, they were hundreds of times larger than normal. Anyone who saw such a scene would be scared to death. And during the breeding season in spring, in order to ensure enough food, rock spider would always go out in groups to hunt. And the ideal place for them to hunt was naturally the Remot with a population of five thousand.
It was not like the Remot had not thought of exterminating
these monsters, but regardless of whether it was the number of soldiers or firepower, they were not qualified to complete the mission. With Remot's current strength, he could only protect himself to a certain extent during the breeding season.
But this time, the Remot had made a huge decision in order to expand. If the situation allowed, they would kill this group of monsters in one fell swoop. The problem, however, is that the state universities have been destroyed. The collapsed school buildings, the broken underground passage, and so on had turned the place into a complicated maze. Unless the Remot had a private space satellite, only then would they be able to observe the university carefully. Otherwise, they could only send a few mercenaries like Su Yun to scout around the university, to confirm the location of the rock spider's lair, and only then would they be able to attack it with a limited number of troops.
The first mission of the mission was the initial mission, which was to scout the entire university to find the rock spider's lair. The task of upgrading was to draw up a detailed map of the university, including an overview of the terrain and the distribution of monsters. As for the third level of the quest, it was to bring back the active specimens of the rock spider, in order to help the biologists from the Remot to find the weakness of this monster. Of course, Theon did not expect the few mercenaries to be able to do what even the Remot could not.
Therefore, the so-called 'ultimate mission' was far more meaningful than reality.
After listening to Theon's summary, the Russian Lafite said, "I believe that this kind of mission is enough for three people. There is absolutely no need to add another one … "Trash."
Zero said nonchalantly, "I also don't want to move together with an idiot who would pant for breath after running two steps. If there's nothing else, I'll be leaving first."
The Element Domain Capable placed more emphasis on the strength of one's mental force than on the strength of one's physical force. But no man would be willing to be called a coward, so the air around Lafite became colder. Looking at the figure of Su Yun leaving the office alone, Lafite's venomous eyes were filled with the words "I'll kill you".
