Chapter 228: Mission City
Due to the high degree of profit and commercialization of the Western Eight Heavens, there are many places here that are completely different from other major heavens. For example, the news market, of course, is definitely not just the news market. So, another example is Mission City.
Mission City, as the name suggests, is a place used by major forces, and even the military, to issue missions and then let mercenaries pick them up.
In the mission market, a large number of mission transactions are carried out every day, and countless mercenaries come here, hoping to earn fairy jade. The flow of immortal jade here is definitely not less than that of ordinary markets. Even the occasional big assignment can lead to a rare and sky-high hire.
I am glad to see that Chengtian's mission city is not the largest, and according to He Lao Wu, there is no military mission here. However, Huan Yin still chose to go to the mission city of Xijian Chengtian to have a look first.
There are three reasons, one is that Huan Yin is familiar with Xijian Chengtian after all, and He Lao Wu is also from here, so it will be a lot more convenient for Huan Yin to take the task here. There is another one, that is, Huan likes to keep a low profile, so there is no place for the military to issue tasks, but he thinks it is appropriate. After all, maybe the military's mission will be highly rewarding, but Huan Yin doesn't want to deal with the military at this time. As for the third, that is, He Lao Wu said, I am glad to see that there are many powerful forces in the city, so the task city here may not be the largest, but there are many big tasks, and it will not disappoint Huan Yin.
Soon, Huan Yin followed the guidance given by He Lao Wu before and came to a street located in the northeast of Xijian Chengtian. Walking along the street until the end, Huan Yin saw a large high white wall, in the middle of the wall, there is a huge archway seven or eight people high, and three words are written on the archway, which is "Mission City".
Below the archway, there are four big men in the shape of a biao, and the cultivation is not bad, but it is the realm of the great perfection of life Nirvana. And in front of these four great men, a somewhat wide stone tablet was erected, on which were written two lines: The weak are not welcome here, and the poor are not welcome.
Huan Yin stared at the stele with great interest for a while, and then swept his eyes, and noticed that there was an endless stream of people coming in and out under the archway, and inside the archway, it was like a scene of a hot market.
"It seems that this mission city is really hot. Huan Yin smiled and finally walked up.
Following the queue, Huan Yin found that all those who wanted to enter had to go through the inspection of the four big men before they could be sure whether they were qualified to enter.
Some people are strong, and one of the big men took out the compass and tested it, and the light shone brightly, and they could directly step into the mission city. And some people are not strong enough, the light on the compass is dim, or even there is no light directly, so in the disdainful gaze of the big man, he can either take out a hundred immortal jade, or he can go in to see the excitement, or he can only leave in disgrace.
It didn't take long for Huan Yin's turn to come. The big man with the compass was still fiddling with Huan Yin for a while, so an extremely strong light immediately burst out on the compass. This light is dazzling, and it is directly like a small sun!
The person standing behind Huan Yin was immediately stunned, and the big man with the compass was also stunned in place for a moment. He'd never seen anything like that.
But soon, the light of the compass dimmed rapidly, and then made a "click" sound, and it cracked, and finally fell apart.
Everyone looked at Huan Yin in disbelief, and Huan Yin suddenly felt extremely embarrassed. He was going to keep a low profile, but he had never seen this compass, how could he have imagined that it would react violently to himself to such an extent?
Scratching his head, Huan Yin said, "That...... That adult, has your compass been used on too many people, so it is broken?"
When the big man heard Huan Yin say this, he saw that Huan Yin's thin skin and tender flesh did not look like that kind of peerless powerhouse, so he frowned and said, "You wait a while, I'll try another one." ”
Not long after, Dahan brought a compass and fiddled with Huan Yin again. This time, Huan Yin wisely lowered his cultivation directly to the early stage of the god of life. As a result, although the compass shines, it reacts ordinarily and is not unusual.
Huan Yin saw the light, and hurriedly said, "My lord, I meet the requirements, I don't need to hand over the fairy jade, right?"
When everyone heard this, they thought that Huan was afraid that he would not be able to get by, so he hurriedly spoke. As a result, the previous scene was considered by everyone to be a broken compass, not Huan Yin's problem.
With a wave of his hand, the big man said, "Go, go, go." ”
Huan Yin walked in with Tsing Yi, and heard the big man behind him muttering to himself: "It's strange, this compass has only been used for less than three months, why did it suddenly break." No, I have to tell the owner of the house when I go back, there is a problem with this batch of goods, I have to pay attention next time, I can't be cheated!"
Huan Yin smiled slightly, and had already entered the market.
In the huge market, there are stalls of all sizes. At the back of the stall, there are often one or several people sitting, who are the persons in charge of the tasks sent by the major forces. At the top of the stalls, the names of the major forces are often written, and some even have a lot of attractive slogans written to attract people to go.
The people shuttling between the stalls are naturally almost all mercenaries who come to take on tasks like Huan Yin. And Huan Yin took a casual look, and found that there are really a lot of people who make a living from this, and there are even characters from three religions and nine ranks, even if you just glance at it casually, you can see that all kinds of characters have almost completely occupied the entire mission city's large and small passages.
"Go and go, what are you looking at, come and see the excitement? Get out of the way, this kind of place is not suitable for a weak scholar like you. Huan Yin was looking at the excitement to himself, and a big man pushed him, with disdain in his eyes.
Huan Yin didn't care, smiled slightly, took two steps back, and saw that behind the big man, there was a group of people surrounding a young man with five scars on his face. And this young man is quite strong, and he is swearing.
He Lao Wu said to Huan Yin that the tasks in the task city are generally divided into two types. One of them is an ordinary task, which is generally generated because the major forces do not have enough manpower, so they have to find someone to complete it. It is often not very difficult, and it is also directly peddled by major forces.
However, there is another type of task that is completely different. This kind of task is generally generated because even if the major forces do their best, they cannot complete it, and they have no choice but to ask the strong for help at a high price. This kind of task is often very difficult, but the goal is often extremely precious.
Therefore, mercenaries need to make an oath when they take on this second kind of task, one is to ensure that after they complete the task, they will not monopolize what they get, but will inevitably use it in exchange for commissions. The second is to show the attitude of life and death conceit. As for Sanma, because the mission itself may also be an important piece of news, such as representing the hiding place of a certain treasure, so the mercenary must ensure that after he takes over the mission, whether it is completed or not, he will not reveal this news.
"It's the young master of the Jackal Mercenary Group, no wonder the formation is so big, even the high-level tasks of the Dong family in the west of the city dare to take it. Next to Huan Yin, a voice whispered.
"Isn't it, the Jackal Mercenary Group is one of the best mercenary groups in our vicinity, and this time their young master personally took action, it seems that it is another big deal. Another voice said.
There are still voices continuing, and it seems that this jackal mercenary group really has some name in this mission city. However, Huan Yin didn't care about this, and he walked away towards another shop.
As he walked, he walked around, and Huan Yin wanted to find a task that suited him. So what is suitable for Huan Yin? The higher the reward, the more suitable it is.
However, Huan Yin walked around for a while, but he didn't even encounter a task with a reward of more than 30,000 immortal jade. Even some tasks that require taking an oath are commonplace in Huan Yin's opinion, and they are not worth doing at all.
After shopping for a long time, Huan Yin felt a little bored and helpless. It is always impossible for him to go for a task with mediocre pay, after all, he is a strong man, how can he waste time for such a task?
"Forget it, let's go to the mission city of another city and take a look. Shaking his head helplessly, Huan wanted to leave. But at this time, a long rainbow appeared in the sky, coming quickly.
And Huan Yin clearly saw that there was an old man in this Changhong, he was holding a jade slip, and the direction of his eyes was the task city where Huan Yin was.
