Chapter 858 The Gap Between Ideal and Reality
Although Fang Zheng agreed to Hu Tao's request, strictly speaking, it was a very difficult matter. Like everyone else, a star pattern certificate is required to form a mercenary group. Of course, Fang Zheng's own certificate cannot be used, because he originally formed this mercenary group to collect information privately. Does it mean that you don't call yourself?
But Hutao and Kuangsan are black households, and the two of them don't have a star pattern certificate --- this may have been a problem before, but now that Kuangsan is here, this is not a problem at all.
Kuang San's solution was also very simple and rude. She directly activated the angel "Song of the Army", and then went directly to the mercenary association and told the other party, "We don't have an identity certificate, but we want to form a mercenary group. Look at it." What should be done".
The second angel possessed by Kuangsan, "Singer of the Army", once infused with spiritual power in her voice, those ordinary people without spiritual power would have no way to refuse her request. As a result, the entire mercenary association was messed up by her, and finally they really thought of a way. It just so happened that in the mercenary association, a combination of a man and two women was determined to fail the mission and die, and the mercenary they formed The Corps hasn't canceled their account yet, if Kuangsan doesn't mind, he can push them directly.
As for the name of the mercenary group...just change it a little bit.
Kuangsan and Hutao have no opinion on this. If there is something wrong with it, everyone must use the mercenary nameplate of the dead. Kuangsan expressed emotional stability to this, let alone Hutao——she is a dead person .
"If you were here, I wouldn't be so troublesome..."
Seeing that Kuang San solved the identity problem without any effort, Fangzheng was also speechless. If he had Kuang San's ability back then, he wouldn't have made such a big circle and went around to the temple... Sigh, now I regret it It didn't work either.
"Then, the next step is to accept the task... Hu Tao, I leave it to you."
"Okay, wrap it on me!"
Hearing Fang Zheng's words, Hu Tao patted his chest excitedly, and then ran to the bulletin board of the Mercenary Association. And Fang Zheng stood quietly in the distance, just watching Hu Tao bouncing and jumping on the bulletin board, and remained silent.
"Is this really good? Let Miss Hutao be the leader?"
At this moment, Kuang San also walked to Fang Zheng's side and asked curiously, while Fang Zheng shrugged his shoulders.
"Is there any way, you don't want to do it, and I don't have time, since Hu Tao is willing, let her do it. But I will go with you on this mission, at least I have to see if Hu Tao can adapt... ..."
Having said this, Fangzheng looked at Hu Tao, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
"... After all, this is reality, not a game. I believe it won't be long before she understands that games and reality are completely different."
As Fangzheng said, it didn't take long for Hu Tao to come back dejectedly——she took a fancy to a mission to explore the ruins, but when Hu Tao excitedly got the power of attorney and came to the counter of the association, she was told that they were just The lowest level of bronze mercenaries, and this is a silver commission, and at the same time, the number of mercenary regiments is required to be no less than ten, so Hu Tao's commission was ruthlessly beaten back by the other party.
In the end, when Hu Tao returned to the bulletin board, he found that almost all the entrustments posted on it had been taken away, leaving only some low-level entrustments, such as exterminating cockroaches in the sewer or expelling goblins... Walnut seems to have no "challenging" commissions at all.
"So, what commission did you accept?"
Seeing Hu Tao's listless look, Fang Zheng just smiled, and then asked. Walnut, on the other hand, had a depressed face, and then handed out the power of attorney.
"That's all that's left..."
"This is………"
Fangzheng took it and looked it up, and found that it was a cleanup task, to the effect that there were some poisonous lizards wandering in the wild swamp area, attacking many caravans and merchants, so he issued the task and hoped that the mercenaries could go and eliminate them. These poisonous lizards... Well, this is indeed a very unchallenging and boring job. No wonder Hu Tao has a depressed face.
"This is the daily life of a mercenary, or do you think it's the same as in the game?"
Fangzheng smiled, and returned the power of attorney to Hu Tao.
"Let's go, then."
After all, Hu Tao was still a high school student. Not long after she left the city, her mood had recovered. She was humming a song while walking in front, looking rather leisurely.
"Miss Walnut? You seem to be in a good mood?"
At this moment, Kuang San also looked at Hu Tao with a smile and asked, but Hu Tao nodded.
"Of course, I've already figured it out. Isn't this the same as doing daily tasks in the game? I can accept it. And the scenery outside is so beautiful. We can enjoy the scenery while fighting monsters. It's an outing. Isn't this very interesting?" ?”
Um………
Hearing this, Fangzheng silently glanced at Hu Tao's back, without saying a word.
As expected of a pampered city lady, maybe she still doesn't know what the so-called "wild swamp" is... I don't know if she will still be able to smile when she arrives at the mission location?
In fact, just as Fang Zheng guessed, when Hu Tao came to the wild swamp as her destination, there was no smile on her face at all.
What they saw before everyone was a muddy and dirty swamp, surrounded by only a few solitary dead trees, and the smell of stench and corruption rushed towards them, making people feel as if they were in a garbage dump. And in those muddy swamps, you can still see some animal carcasses that haven't completely rotted...
Right here, some venomous lizards that are bigger than crocodiles are rolling in the mud leisurely, looking relaxed and comfortable.
"Okay, my task is completed, and I will leave it to you."
Fangzheng said that he would not intervene if he didn't intervene. He just cast a few defensive spells around the third level on Hu Tao and Kuang San, and then decisively stepped aside to watch the show.
"Woo..."
Holding the shovel, Hu Tao looked at the swamp in front of her in embarrassment, and then at the brand-new leather armor on her body... Finally, she gritted her teeth and stepped into the swamp.
The next moment, she sank directly with a "plop".
"Hey? This is? Wait, is this a bottomless swamp?"
Seeing that his body was submerged in an instant, Hu Tao was also taken aback.
"Third Sister Crazy, save me!"
While yelling at Kuang San, Hu Tao waved his hands desperately. However, she didn't notice that the poisonous lizards were already attracted by the walnuts, and turned their heads to look this way. Immediately afterwards, the swamp behind Walnut suddenly swelled, and then a poisonous lizard suddenly emerged from it, biting Walnut's head. The next moment, it dragged Walnut into the depths of the bottomless swamp without a trace.
"........."
Huifei Suzawa and Walnut's mercenary journey has just begun, and it is over.
