After meeting Old Walker, Rhodes did not leave the Mercenary Association soon, after all, the current mercenary group still lacks a main MT and output, if he can find a defensive profession such as a shield warrior, then the next task will be much easier for Rhode. Unfortunately, this time Rhodes was not able to find the mercenary he had hoped for. After all, this type of professional has always been on the front line when fighting, and the danger and pressure they face are far greater than that of other mercenaries, and generally only those soldiers will choose such a profession, but these people are either not interested in the life of mercenaries, or have already been recruited by major mercenary groups, and it is difficult to encounter. Rod took Lijie around the lobby and contacted several swordsmen, but because none of them met Rhodes' requirements, they were all eliminated in the end.

In the end, in desperation, Rod could only give up his original idea and began to concentrate on improving the strength of the two people first. During this period, Deep Rock City did not have much potential to be tapped, although the strength of several mercenary squads was very good, but Rhodes couldn't afford to hire them, and secondly, he was also worried that the other party would have some undesirable ideas based on the numerical superiority, so Rhodes simply put this matter aside, because there were more urgent things to do in front of him.

That's the mercenary group's points.

Lijie's words are not wrong, the most important thing now is to try to increase the points as much as possible to avoid being forcibly disbanded during the winter recess, which is the first priority, and it is also the most important concern of Rhodes at present, at least ——— at least it can no longer be zero.

Mercenary groups earn points from quests, which are divided into two categories......... One is that the client publishes the task to the mercenary association, and then the mercenary group takes over it by itself, and after completing it, the client receives a reward from the mercenary association. The other is that the client takes the initiative to entrust the mercenary group, and the two parties sign an entrustment agreement with the association, and then perform the task.

Points are determined by the level of the mission, and in the Mercenary Guild, the commission is divided into six levels: in addition to the normal mission, the rest are divided into one to five star levels. The points represented by these tasks are also different, and they also have strict limitations.

Mercenary squads are only allowed to take on normal, one-star, and two-star missions. Among them, you can get 1 point for completing tasks at the normal level, 2 points for the one-star level, and 3 points for the two-star level. The mercenary group can only earn points for tasks at the two-star, three-, and four-star levels. Although they can also take on ordinary and one-star level missions, even if these tasks are completed by the mercenary group, the association will not give them points. The same is true for the mercenary guild at the top, they can only earn points after completing tasks at the three-, four-star and five-star levels, and there are no points below this level.

These rules are all made by the mercenary association, and it is strictly forbidden for anyone to exceed them, that is, even if a mercenary team or mercenary group completes a five-star mission, the association will never accumulate any points for them. However, this possibility is really very small, because five-star missions are almost always very dangerous, and even for many large mercenary guilds, it is a life of death, and if those mercenary groups and mercenary squads whose strength is far inferior to them do it, it is basically ten deaths.

And under the constraints of such conditions, each mercenary group also has its own methods. Some mercenary groups are as diligent as blue-collar workers doing the lowest and safest tasks, accumulating points to ensure their existence. And there are some mercenary groups adhering to the policy of "if you don't make a sound, you will be a blockbuster", either not doing it, or doing a big job to have a big harvest.

Rhodes chose the second way, after all, the mercenary group is too few now, although it is safe to do the lowest tasks diligently, but the points will not grow very quickly, as the saying goes, two fists are hard to beat four hands, and the numerical disadvantage cannot be eliminated in any way. Since there is no way to be safe, the only way to do this is to earn a large number of points by completing as many high-level tasks as possible.

However, when Rhodes put the task called "Pavel Cemetery" in front of Uncle Hank, the old man of the mercenary association still looked at the young man in front of him like a ghost, as if he had seen a living fossil of a walking dinosaur. …,

"Are you really sure you want to take on this task? Youngster? ”

Old Hank wiped his glasses, and then looked at Rod in front of him with a serious face.

"This is a four-star mission, even if it is a fully staffed mercenary group, it will be difficult to ask for it."

As he spoke, the old man frowned and knocked on the table.

"It's not my old Hank who scared you, the Blue Valley Mercenary Group and the Black Lion Mercenary Group have taken over this task before, and there are many good hands among them, what is the result? Even they suffered heavy casualties, and even the regiment commander almost died. Those guys sent a dozen people and couldn't take them, you guys............... How many people want to get it? It's good that young people are motivated, but ........."

"I don't think there's anything to hesitate about."

For Old Hank's words, Rod didn't pay attention to it at all, the gap between the standards of people in this world for "good hands" and the players' standards for "good hands" is too big, and it is meaningless to compare this. And Rhodes chose this task, in addition to its high scores, it is its content and rewards.

Located in the mountains north of Deep Rock City, Pavel Cemetery is an abandoned cemetery where a necromancer named Pavel lurks, and the mission is to eliminate the necromancer and his men, as long as they can bring back Pavel's head, the mission is completed.

Rod naturally has his own ideas for choosing this task, in addition to the high-level points, it is the card he is holding now, frankly speaking, with the combat power that Rhode now has, the effect of dealing with undead creatures is very obvious, and it will be a little troublesome to let them fight bandits. And the other target is a skill book held by the necromancer named Pavel.

It is rumored that this necromancer, named Pavel, was once a respected bishop who later became a necromancer because of something that happened to the masses, and he had a holy book called the Holy Book, which was Rhodes's goal, because it was the skills of the spirit master.

Here, I want to explain the difference between players and NPCs in the Dragon Soul Continent in terms of upgrades.

The player's advantage is obvious in all aspects, because of the existence of skill points, so they can increase their skill level as much as they want, like Rhodes, at level 10, they can have NPC skill level of thirty or forty. But NPCs can't, except for a few geniuses and kings, most NPCs have how many levels of skills they have, so it is self-evident who is stronger in comparison with the two.

On the other hand, the advantage of NPCs is that their talents are not as classified as players, and the talents of many NPC professions are fused together, and they can even be chosen at will, which also makes many players quite envious, after all, their talents are separated, and because of the limitation of skill points, there is no way to do as much as NPCs, not to mention that there are many talents that are exclusive to NPCs, and it will make people feel red when they look at them.

In addition to these, there is also a big gap between the two sides in terms of leveling, and players level up by eating experience. But the upgrade of NPCs is more like a small universe outbreak, they don't eat experience on weekdays, and they don't level up. There are only two ways to level up——— one is that after the friendship of both parties increases, the NPC will propose a task, and the player can instantly increase the level of the NPC as long as they complete the task. The other is to use the skill book for NPCs, there is no level and special restrictions on their ability to learn skills, so even if it is a level 5 NPC, as long as he learns a level 10 skill, then he will immediately be promoted to level 10.

Of course, this also takes time.

If she can get this book, then Li Jie won't need to worry about anything until she reaches level forty, and there are also a lot of real attack saints in the "Holy Book", which can also make up for the girl's current half-tone attack power, and become a truly qualified priest who can fight on the front line. And considering that there will inevitably be a war with the Night Kingdom in the future, it is also very important to be able to familiarize the people around you with the way of fighting with the undead as soon as possible.

If it weren't for these reasons, Rhodes wouldn't want to run into the pile of dead people all day long, he was still alive after all, and he didn't have much interest in those who were not dead......... In fact, if he could, Rhodes would have preferred to hire a mage, even if it was an apprentice mage......... But it's a pity that mages are even rarer than spirit masters, and most of them stay at home, let alone come to the mercenary association.........

"I've decided, Uncle Hank, rest assured, we're going to get the job done."

"I hope so."

Seeing that he couldn't convince the other party with all his might, Uncle Hank could only sigh helplessly and shake his head, and then he lowered his body and focused on writing something on the paper before nodding to Rod.

"Alright, Mr. Rhodes, it's registered. When you complete the task, as long as you follow the requirements of the task entrustment, bring the token back, once it is verified and confirmed, we will issue the reward to you. ”

"I know."

Hearing this, Rod nodded, didn't say anything more, and quickly turned to leave. Uncle Hank shook his head helplessly as he watched the slightly emaciated figure disappear into the crowd.

"Young man, even if you are reckless, you dare to take on such a dangerous task, hey......... I really don't know what to say. It's so pathetic, it looks so young......... But ..............."

Talking to himself, Hank picked up the flask next to him, and he didn't notice the figure that appeared behind him at some point.

And with the appearance of the figure, a clear and bright voice also sounded.

"What's stupid? Mr. Hank? ”

"Ah, little, miss!"

Hearing this voice, Hank hurriedly jumped up in fright, he put down the flask in his hand in embarrassment, turned around and looked at the figure behind him awkwardly, and squeezed out a bitter smile.

"Miss, why do you have time to come to me............... I thought ............"

"I'm here to ask you, how are the things entrusted to you before?"

"This ............"

Hearing the other party's inquiry, a layer of fine beads of sweat appeared on Old Hank's forehead, he took out a handkerchief, wiped his face, and then said hard.

"This ...... I'm working on it, miss, you can see too, these guys are really not very good lately, I haven't found a suitable one so far, so ........."

"I see."

The beautiful voice like the murmuring of a bird in the morning jumped slightly.

"So, what did the guy do with you?"

"Oh, that kid."

Hearing this, old Hank immediately changed his face and began to sigh.

"Hey, that guy really doesn't know how thick the sky is, miss, listen to me..............."

Perhaps it was finally found to be the object of the complaint, and the elder Hank quickly told Rod about taking over the four-star mission, of course, there were also complaints such as young people who were arrogant and not down-to-earth at all. However, as a member of the mercenary association, he still won't say that he cursed Rhodes and will definitely die there, mercenaries are very sensitive to this kind of thing, and what they did was to lick blood from the knife edge, and if you still curse people to die, then it is too unconscionable.

"I see."

After hearing Old Hank's complaints, the figure chuckled.

"It's really interesting, a mercenary group with only two people dares to take on a four-star mission, this is really a strange story, isn't it?"

"Yes, and I heard that that kid is still very optimistic about Serek, I really don't know what Lord Serek likes about this arrogant little guy............"

"Uncle Hank."

Before Old Hank could finish his sentence, the figure suddenly interrupted him.

"I have something I want you to help with, I wonder if you want to?"

"Yes, as long as I can do it, there is absolutely no problem."

"Very good, then ..............."

The mercenaries in the hall became more and more noisy, and after hearing the figure's request clearly, Old Hank's face became extremely pale.

PS: This chapter finally introduces the general structure of the game's system, although some people may think that Luo is a little instigated......... I won't say more about that later.
