The road up the mountain is difficult and tortuous, it is very difficult to walk, every important intersection is arranged with someone to handle, check the magnetic card and release it, not much to say, no magnetic card can never be confused, even if you don't take the right road, from other places to rummage through the mountains and infiltrate it, you will be shot by the lurking sentry, everyone slowly move forward with the magnetic card, note down the surrounding terrain while walking, unconsciously at noon, finally climbed to the highest peak, there is an open plain in front.

There is actually some grass growing on the plain, there is a small lake in the middle, about ten acres in size, bottomless, rippling blue waves, some reeds growing on the edge of the lake, a bit of alpine grassland taste, it is really rare, the plain is full of tents, gathered a lot of people, everyone stayed near their respective tents, did not run around.

There are a lot of people wearing red armbands in the crowd patrolling, looking like law enforcement teams, there are many people who will inevitably have disputes, not to mention that they are all violent elements with guns, someone must maintain law and order, and there are people at the intersection of the plains to do the final inspection, and more than a dozen people with loaded guns are staring at the people who come in, and they will open fire if there is a slight abnormality.

The last pass is guarded more tightly than everyone imagined, fortunately, these people are not embarrassed by anyone, as long as there is a magnetic card, let them go, Li Rui looked around curiously, Xuehu asked the lone wolf to go up to negotiate, and after verifying the magnetic card, the person in charge of security called a person to lead the way, signaling everyone to follow each other.

Everyone didn't talk nonsense, followed forward, and soon came to a tent, the person in charge of leading the way pointed to the tent and said: "This tent is assigned to you to live temporarily, the conference will start tomorrow, don't make trouble, there is a walkie-talkie in the tent, pay attention to the notice of the organizing committee at any time, and go to the outer nobody." After saying that, the other party left.

Everyone glanced around, their position is very far back, and there are no tents in the back, there are a lot of them in front, neatly and uniformly, densely distributed, there are ten largest tents by the lake, built near the lake, it is the temporary residence of the ten mercenary organizations, obviously, the closer to the central lake area, the higher the status, everyone has just joined, the lowest status, and is naturally assigned to live temporarily in the periphery.

The tent is not big, it may be enough to sleep ten or eight people, everyone is about thirty people, there is no way to live in it at the same time, but there is no need to make trouble about this before the situation is unclear, Xuehu motioned to everyone to say that the backpacks are thrown into the tent, and then they found that the ground is padded with moisture-proof mats, as well as a bunch of food and drinking water, and they are well prepared.

Everyone was hungry for a day, and they were not welcome, they picked it up and ate it, Li Rui also took a piece of cake and chewed it, while coming outside to observe the surrounding situation, looking at the past, it was all tents and people, all of them were basically wearing camouflage combat uniforms, all of them were used by people of all colors, all of them did not know each other, and then looked at the area in the middle of the lake, the distance was too far to see people clearly, and there was no way to find the fat man and Qin Rong.

Xuehu got out of the tent, glanced at Li Rui, looked around and said, "How do you feel?" ”

"It's a bit like a martial arts conference." Li Rui said with a smile.

"It's really what you said, every mercenary conference is a ring competition, divided into two kinds, one is a team competition, the other is an individual competition, a team competition at the same level, the winner wins the team winning award, the individual competition at the same level, the winner has a high bonus and medals, the competition exchanges, mutual promotion, very lively, but the mountains have been closed within a radius of 100 kilometers, and people who are not in the mercenary world are not allowed to approach." Xue Hu explained with a smile.

"Wait, you just said that the team at the same level is compared, this person can understand, what does the team at the same level mean?" Li Rui asked curiously.

"This is the management method of the mercenary alliance, each mercenary organization will have a level after joining, for example, we are now the lowest level, the mercenary alliance will comprehensively evaluate a level according to the number of tasks completed, the difficulty of the task and the strength of the team members, a total of nine levels, people of different levels have the right to mercenary tasks that cannot be connected through the mercenary alliance, for example, we can only accept the ninth level mercenary task, we can't take the eighth level, the first level is the highest, as for the top ten mercenary groups, that is the top existence, not counted in the ninth level." Snow Tiger explained.

"How complicated is an alliance of mercenaries?" Li Rui said in surprise.

"It's also to motivate everyone to improve themselves more and complete more employment tasks, right? The more tasks completed, the greater the mercenary's influence in the world, the higher the status of the mercenary alliance, this kind of level division is not bad, it greatly stimulates everyone's self-motivation, the mercenary alliance has developed rapidly in the past few years, and this level has a lot to do with it, the mercenary conference is an opportunity to advance, you can challenge a more advanced mercenary organization, the challenge is successful, you will be promoted, and the loser will be demoted by one level. Xue Hu explained with a smile.

"So that's the case, then you can't quickly upgrade to a first-level mercenary organization through this conference?" Li Rui said in surprise, seeing that Xuehu nodded without hesitation, he suddenly understood that what Xuehu said before he came to make a name for himself was really a good opportunity to make a name for himself, thinking of this Li Rui couldn't help asking: "What is the specific comparison?" If so many people are challenged, it will take a lot of time. ”

"The challenge can be applied for by yourself, the challenged is randomly arranged by the committee of parliamentarians, and if you want to advance, you can only challenge as a group, how many people are challenged, how many people are challenged, everyone pulls to a closed place to fight, life and death, until one party admits defeat." Snow Tiger explained.

"I didn't expect you to know so deeply, but is the challenged willing to accept the challenge? It's a risky thing to do. Li Rui asked suspiciously.

"All teams are willing to accept being challenged, because the challenger needs to pay 10 million planet coins to challenge, once it fails, the 10 million will go to the challenged, and you can earn 10 million in one game, why not? You must know that the comprehensive strength of the challenged is stronger than that of the challenger, otherwise, the challenger would have already passed the comprehensive evaluation and would have been promoted, and there is no need to come here to challenge, in other words, it is the kind of team that cannot be comprehensively evaluated will apply for the challenge, the strength is relatively weak, and there are not many people who succeed in the challenge. Xue Hu explained seriously.

"So that's the case, this incentive system is very good, forcing everyone to work hard, how can I calculate it personally?" Li Rui continued to ask curiously.

"There are two kinds of personal challenges, one is fighting, the other is a shootout, both have to win to be considered successful in the challenge, the challenger has to pay a million planet coins in advance to be eligible for the challenge, if you lose this money, it will be gone, if you win, you can keep the money, and you can also get rewards and medals, each time the reward is different, I don't know what it is this time, how, are you interested in participating in the individual competition?" Xue Hu asked curiously.
