Chapter 286 Starting with the Apprentice
Several young girls were said to be cute by the uncle in that sarcastic tone. Naturally, they would not feel useful and were extremely angry, but the other party's words clearly expressed a meaning, that is, they may not even get the mercenary probation qualification.
Then for these young people, the team began to change from S to a straight line. In half a day, they finally got closer and closer to the application desk.
However, at this time, Xia Jiang and others just lined up in the area where several teenagers were just now, and they had to admire the number of people who wanted to join the ranks of mercenaries.
From south to north, I don't know how many long queues there are, most of which apply for mercenary probation qualifications, and through the words of passers-by, we know that this is just the most normal situation here every day.
Finally, it was evening, and Xia Jiang also reached the end.
"Do you want to be a mercenary?" When he came to the application desk at the end, Xia Jiang faced the inquiry of a beautiful woman. Compared with the burly man next door, Xia Jiang feels that he seems to have an inalable relationship with women.
"Of course." Xia Jiang said with a faint smile.
In the eyes of women, Xia Jiang's smile seems to be a little too mature. After all, he is only a teenager.
Seeing this, the woman seemed to have skipped many links and asked directly, "Well, then you can say directly why you became a mercenary?"
"Wealth, cultivation, friends..." Xia Jiang still smiled. He was outspoken and put wealth first. After all, whoever is a mercenary will not be rich, so he is not a qualified mercenary.
The woman didn't expect Xia Jiang to answer so freely, and the most important thing was that he answered three answers in just six words, which was concise and clear. Yes, the real intention of this question is actually to test the applicant's goals and aspirations. As a mercenary, you must also have extremely clear goals and aspirations before you can be accepted by them, otherwise you will not pass this test.
And her friend was also mentioned in Xia Jiang's answer. The woman couldn't help but want to ask the other party, but considering the feelings of others queuing up, she could only stop the wooden card that gave Xia Jiang a representative to pass.
Xia Jiang just took the wooden card and realized that it was a small magic weapon, similar to the jade card, but the quality was slightly worse.
According to the instructions on the wooden plate, Xia Jiang will go to the rear and reach a huge hall, waiting to be included by the test mercenary regiment of the passing guild.
Each guild will conduct a test for the new trial mercenaries recruited to ensure that these people have the potential to become qualified mercenaries, and then recommend them for any mercenary regiment to contribute for recruitment. Of course, the so-called mercenary regiment is naturally based on fame. The more famous and powerful the mercenary regiment is, the more priority it can include these new mercenaries.
There is no doubt that Xia Jiang got the wooden card, but he did not enter the hall immediately. He had to wait for everyone to be with him.
also lived up to Xia Jiang's expectations. Xia Yu and Ziqi also easily got the wooden card and came to him under the leadership of Xia Yuner.
The four continued to move forward and entered the hall.
The hall has long been overcrowded, but many of them have followed the passing mercenary regiments, which are undoubtedly valued by those mercenary regiments.
Although the test mercenary regiment is used by the guild to test newcomers, it is also a formal mercenary regiment and will also accept many tasks, especially for these newcomers, in addition to a formal mercenary regiment name, The regular mercenary regiment is no different.
Soon, at the end of this hall, that is, on a spacious walkway, several important members representing this test group came in again and began to tour the hall again and began to select the potential talents needed by their test group.
"You, you, you..." Several people stood there, glanced over, and directly clicked on the area where the newcomers were located.
Xia Jiang couldn't help but surprise him when he saw that the finger finally fell on his head. It seemed that the other party took a fancy to him.
However, Xia Jiang did not react, so he pretended not to pay attention and continued to stand still.
But it was obvious that the other party seemed to point so casually, and his eyes were indeed like a torch. In a glance, he knew that those people's qualifications were extraordinary. Therefore, there was no movement for Xia Jiang. The man directly said, "The little brother behind, yes, it's you. Come out quickly!" The man said and waved to Xia Jiang.
And Xia Jiang naturally didn't move because it was a man who waved to him. He had his principle: "I have three friends. Wherever I go, they will get it, so..." Xia Jiang said with a faint smile.
Xia Jiang's answer undoubtedly made countless people present feel bold. Who doesn't know the authority and reputation of the test group almost represent the guild. In the face of their importance, they don't go out immediately, and they are not afraid of being abandoned or hated.
Then it was also very gratifying. When the man saw Xia Jiang say this, he shook his head, turned around directly and left, and ignored Xia Jiang.
"Look, this boy really doesn't know what's good or not. He has to drag his back when he is selected..."
"That's right, this boy came to be a mercenary with so many women. What does the mercenary regiment think of him?"
"Hmm, I really don't know how thick the sky is..."
For a while, all kinds of words of contempt for Xia Jiang came out of these waiting crowds, which made Xia Jiang feel helpless.
However, immediately after the arrival of another test group, the man was still very discerning. After selecting 17 or 18 people, the last finger still fell on Xia Jiang.
Naturally, Xia Jiang did not surprise him and was still indifferent. He just wants to keep a low profile. Either the other party ignores his existence because of a momentary omission, then he doesn't need to say anything, or when he asks, he simply says the reason for his refusal, which does not seem too flamboyant.
But it is obvious that the representative of the test group who came this time is still extremely good at the numbers. After a little glance, he found that there was one person missing, and his eyes suddenly fell on Xia Jiang.
Needless to say, it is the same as the situation just now, but this time the slight difference is that the man did not immediately walk away when he heard Xia Jiang's explanation, but was a little stunned.
At this time, one of the 17 people selected flashed his eyes to Xia Jiang and recognized Xia Jiang as an old friend on the spot.
"Xia Jiang! Why is it you!" One man raised his hand and waved to Xia Jiang.
Xia Jiang was also a little surprised when he looked over. The man was actually Luo Xiong, the leader of the Eagle Mercenary Regiment who had made trouble in the north of Xia. Later, he met him in Yanqiu City and then entered the business school.
After all, he is an old friend, and Xia Jiang also waved his hand, showing a heartfelt smile. It is fate to meet friends from the Dugu Empire here.
And the representative also seemed to have some feelings, but he couldn't help looking at several girls who signaled to Xia Jiang. However, even if he didn't sweep it, he was shocked to find that these women all had good cultivation, all of which were simply huge potential.
"However, I came here to recruit male mercenaries, and the boss didn't let me choose women?" This means that when I thought of this goal, I immediately hesitated again.
But then his eyes glanced at several women again and immediately admired them secretly. Finally, he couldn't resist** and said, "Okay, Xia Jiang, come with your friends!" It also indirectly knows Xia Jiang's name.
It was also the random call of the representative of the test group that made the name of "Xia Jiang" known by some people for the first time.
He also didn't expect that the other party could meet his requirements. Xia Jiang couldn't help but look at this person with new eyes and immediately joined a team of more than a dozen people.
Xia Jiang came and had close contact with Luo Xiong. The two were even more old acquaintances. In this strange place, the strange team also seemed not so lonely and nervous.
Next, Xia Jiang and others followed the representative to a jungle. Looking around, they could see that there were also many mercenary regiments in the distance, all gathered in this area and seemed to be explaining something.
Sure enough, the representative began to explain to them the rules of the mercenary regiment.
"Guys, the code name of this test mercenary regiment is '11'. Welcome to join this team... First of all, let me briefly explain your promotion rules as trial mercenaries: From now on, you will become the test apprentices of our 11th Regiment. In the next three days, according to you The performance of the best majority of the members will be selected, and a few people who are deficient will be in turn to continue to perform in the next batch of trial apprentices. Those selected will get opportunities for auxiliary performance, and will still be assigned collection tasks according to your performance, that is, that is, you will be qualified as a trial mercenary this time. The last step..."
Listening to the representative's explanation, Xia Jiang finally understood some of the steps needed to become a qualified or officially recognized mercenary by the guild, which was undoubtedly a little unexpected. He didn't expect it to be so difficult to become a formal mercenary. However, he thought that Luo Xiong, who once had a mercenary regiment and was the leader of the mercenary regiment, also came here to test, which showed the importance of formal mercenary status.
Next, it didn't take much time. The representative also explained all the rules, and then they followed him to the base of the mercenary regiment.
Although it is one of the many test groups in the guild, each group has its own independent field. That is to say, their 11 regiments are in a huge wild jungle environment, and it is said to be the most common test environment.
Under the instructions of the representative, or to be precise, the team captain, the next thing they need to do is to "clean up" in this jungle. Yes, maybe they can call this task "clean up suspicious things", that is, all their test team in this jungle All the traces left in it are removed to ensure that the eyes of outsiders will not perceive the breath of their 11 regiments in this jungle.
Therefore, this sounds simple, but it is obviously not easy to do in practice. Even if it is their group, together with the promotion task of a total of 30 people who have been eliminated.
