Evil Emperor Zun

Chapter 533 Hardships
A new day is indeed coming soon.

As soon as the rooster crowed for the first time, Ye Shuo and Xu Yuan were dragged up.At the door of the backyard, what awaited them was a whole load of firewood.

"Killing is nothing more than nodding!" Xu Yuan stared at a pair of sleepy eyes, and growled in grief, "Is it easy to live here as promised? There is so much firewood to be split by the two of us, is there a mistake? What about the rest?"

The mercenary yelled sharply: "The others are still resting! They can't sleep well, so how can they take on missions during the day?"

"Then we don't need to rest? We don't need to take on tasks during the day?" Xu Yuan immediately retorted.

The mercenary squinted at him from the corner of his eyes, and snorted coldly: "You are newcomers, you must do odd jobs in the union for two months before you can take on tasks with everyone, this is the rule!"

He obviously didn't wake up, and hurriedly said: "Also, there is no basic salary during the odd jobs. You can do what you like, and leave if you don't like it." Yawning all the way, shaking his head and leaving .

"Forget it, Xu Yuan, let's treat this as a form of cultivation." Ye Shuo had already accepted his fate and picked up the axe.At the same time, he reminded himself over and over again: the mind is as calm as water, not to be surprised by favor or insult...

After a few hours.

"Come on, Xu Yuan, it's over after chopping this!" When it comes to chopping firewood, Ye Shuo has a lot of experience, not only quickly chopped up the pile in front of him, but also helped Xu Yuan share more than half of it.

"Yeah... No, Brother Ye, look..." Xu Yuan just raised his head, wiped the sweat from his forehead, his eyes fell on the gate of the courtyard, and his face turned pale again.

Ye Shuo also followed his line of sight, and saw a mercenary pushing a long cart with bundles of freshly cut firewood piled up on it. When he saw them, he scolded: " Why haven't you finished hacking yet! Hurry up, the second batch has come down!"

Ye Shuo and Xu Yuan looked at each other, and both heads drooped at the same time.

……

not yet.

"Finally we can eat! I'm so hungry that I could eat an elephant!" When the two of them finally finished chopping the batches of firewood that were delivered one after another, Xu Yuan dragged Ye Shuo all the way to the dining hall.If there is any place in the mercenary union where he can have a good impression, it is probably the only place here.

The mercenary who was cooking saw them from a distance, and waved impatiently: "Dinner is served at noon, why are you here now? There is no food for a long time, go back and go back."

Xu Yuan spat out a mouthful of blood: "Which one who killed Qiandao actually lied to me that the meal was not served until the end of time!"

The rice cooker rolled his eyes even bigger: "I can't figure out the time, who do you blame?"

"It's really disgusting! When I'm waiting for dinner, I must come one hour earlier... No, come two hours earlier!" On the way back, Xu Yuan continued to complain.

The two had just returned to the backyard, and before they could catch their breath, another mercenary came in with something.Only this time it was a few wooden barrels.

"Laundry? Are we here to be mercenaries or babysitters?!" Xu Yuan's face was so bitter that water could be squeezed out.

With the experience in the morning, both of them knew that this batch of clothes would definitely not be the only one to be washed. In order to finish work early and eat early, both of them rushed to work hard.

When the third batch was washed, Feng Yu walked in slowly.

"How do you wash your clothes?" Feng Yu only glanced at the two of them before cursing again.He picked up one from the wooden basin in front of Ye Shuo, "Look at the collar of this shirt, it's so dirty, if you don't know it, you'd think you washed it in a mud pond!" After pointing out a few stains, Throwing it violently into the basin, the splash of water mixed with soap foam splashed Ye Shuo all over his face.

"Is that what washing powder is used for? Are you such a prodigal?" After Feng Yu scolded Ye Shuo, he turned his finger on Xu Yuan.He directly picked up the packing bag of washing powder, and sprinkled it on Xu Yuan's head and face, covering his face and screaming, before throwing the packing bag back to his feet, "Now do you know how much to pour in the future? You're such a grown-up, you can't even wash a piece of clothing, so what's the use of your life?"

"You! Do you know how to rub?" Feng Yu kicked Ye Shuo's wooden basin as if fighting with the two of them, "I'll just ask you! Can you rub?"

"Who doesn't know how to rub? I really want to rub you right now..." Xu Yuan whispered beside him.

Ye Shuo still maintained the inherent rhythm, and said calmly: "Senior Brother Feng, save yourself, when I was washing clothes before, you were still playing with mud. If you don't like it, why don't you wash it yourself?"

Feng Yu was furious, kicked over the wooden basin in front of Ye Shuo, shouted angrily: "Wash!" and called in another mercenary, "Look at them!"

……

"Dude, did I say that you were all tortured like this before?" While waiting for the next batch of clothes to arrive, Xu Yuan tried to talk to the guard mercenary.

The watchman was a one-star mercenary, his age seemed to be about the same age as them, and there was still immatureness on his face.Although he also tried his best to keep a straight face, trying to put on the same ferocious expression as the others, it still seemed a bit lacking in enthusiasm after all.

The mercenary looked at them, and there seemed to be a flash of pity in his eyes, but he quickly looked away, and said coldly: "I think you can only blame yourself for this matter."

"How to say?" Xu Yuan asked.This time the mercenary didn't answer any more.

Xu time.

In front of Ye Shuo and Xu Yuan, there was only a plate of chaffy vegetables and a few rotten buns.

In the current living environment, it is rare to see such food even in the countryside.This mercenary union is really good.

As soon as Xu Yuan took a bite, he vomited it out: "Is this something that people eat? It's basically pig food! I've been hungry for two days, so give me this..."

All the difficulties he had received in the past few days surfaced in his heart, the more Xu Yuan thought about it, the more angry he became, and he yelled at the mercenaries who were feasting on the other side: "Even if we are newcomers, you need to bully me like this!" Us? As for?"

In the noisy hall, there was a brief moment of silence for his outburst.

With a cold face, Feng Yu knocked the wine glass on the table heavily: "If you don't like it, don't eat it. Dongxu, take it down and feed it to the pigs."

"You guys are too deceitful!" Xu Yuan was furious, and he waved his hand over the plate in front of him, and the tiles shattered to the ground, "At worst, we won't do it here! I don't want to be so useless, your broken rules , do it for whoever you like!"

Feng Yu leaned back in his chair and said with a sneer: "Success, get out if you want. But I can assure you that as long as you are newcomers, no matter where you go, you will receive the same treatment. Wait outside and receive the same treatment. Enough is enough, don't come back and cry begging us to take you in again?"

Xu Yuan didn't back down: "Let's go! I don't believe that all the bosses are lunatics like you! If I step here again, I'll take your surname!" Turning his head aggressively, he saw Ye Shuo facing him. Ignoring the dispute, I put a chopstick full of chaffy vegetables into my mouth, and still held half a rotten steamed bun in my hand.

"No, Brother Ye! You can eat this kind of food?" Xu Yuan couldn't believe his eyes.

Ye Shuo's face was indifferent: "If you don't fill your stomach, how can you have the strength to work tomorrow? Xu Yuan, don't you keep crying hungry? I'll give you half of this dish, hurry up and eat."

Feng Yu sneered slightly: "Yes, you really should hurry up and fill your stomach. After eating, go to the long street outside, and run back and forth a hundred times for me at full speed!"

"Why?" Xu Yuan managed to convince himself to bite the first bite of the steamed bun, and immediately exploded when he heard this.

The ferocity in Feng Yu's eyes is clearly visible: "What do you think? This is punishment! If everyone is like you, throwing plates when they get angry, and yelling at seniors when they are unhappy, the trade union Is there still order?"

……

After completing a hundred back and forth runs, Ye Shuo and Xu Yuan had only their last breath left, and fell into the bathhouse like two puddles of mud.

"Ah, after a tiring day, I can finally take a shower!" The expressions of the two of them, who had worked so hard, were completely exhausted when they saw the bathroom environment.

There was mud all over the floor, hair in clumps and clumps, and it hadn't been used for how long.Xu Yuan stood on tiptoe, stepped all the way to the first faucet, flipped the switch, and raised his hand to test the water temperature.

"Wow, this water is so icy, it froze me to death... Ah, it's so hot! It's so hot! Why did the water suddenly become so hot!" The control switch was about to be broken by Xu Yuan, but the water temperature was always changing randomly Depending on the temperature, even the spilled water is intermittent, from time to time.

"I said this... This is worse than the bathing environment in our last practical course! Why can't you even adjust the water temperature? How do you wash it?" Everything about the mercenary union really refreshed Xu Yuan's bottom line again and again.

Ye Shuo didn't pick up his faults, so he washed the towel with water, and began to spread soap evenly on the top.

"The water temperature fluctuates from hot to cold, can you wash it well?" Xu Yuan has asked similar words for countless times.

Ye Shuo had already got into the shower: "So what if you can't wash it, don't you have to wash it?"

……

"Why is there no water?" The two of them were halfway through washing, Xu Yuan was shaking the faucet vigorously with his head covered in foam.But apart from shaking a few drops of water, there was no other movement.

"Brother Ye, you still don't believe it, are they really targeting us all the time!" Xu Yuan angrily sat down on the mud-stained stone brick, and at this moment he didn't care about getting dirty.

The towel was also full of foam, Ye Shuo could only dry his hair with his own clothes, and then put the wet clothes back on his body.

He remembered hearing a saying: If you feel that everyone is targeting you, then stop being narcissistic, because you are not qualified to let everyone know you.

"Brother Ye, you have a really good temper, so you can bear it?" Xu Yuan's body was covered with water droplets, and he shivered from the cold after a while, so he could only imitate Ye Shuo and rely on himself.But the moisture-permeable clothes cling to the body, making it even more bone-chillingly cold.If you want to follow him, you should have gone to Feng Yu for three hundred rounds.

Ye Shuo was slightly taken aback by this comment, but soon he shook his head with a broken smile.

Maybe I don't have a good temper, but I am gradually smoothed out by this society.As long as everything has nothing to do with principles, be patient if you can.

Otherwise, is it really necessary to start a fight with all the mercenaries?If he wins, he might become a thorn in the side of those four- and five-star mercenaries; if he loses, the situation will only be worse.Neither development was what he wanted.

Since every newcomer had to go through this level, he didn't want to be special.Take your time, anyway, two months will pass soon, when the time comes to prove yourself with work, it will be more effective than anything else.

For the next two months, Ye Shuo and Xu Yuan really lived in such dire straits.What's rare is that the methods used by those mercenaries to prank people are not the same, and they can give them new "surprises" every day.

On this day, it was finally time for them to stand in the hall with their heads held high and accept missions with other mercenaries.

This was the first time for the two of them to see the task list, and they were dazzled by the weird tasks.

"Brother Ye, let's take this!" Xu Yuan pointed to a task list in the upper left corner with great interest, "A-level task, escort a caravan all the way through Tieshi Ridge. The only trouble in Tieshi Ridge is a In Iron Lion Village, the owner of the village is at the strength level, and there are several leaders at the condensing level under his command. Most of the rest are a group of qi level minions. The two of us can fight easily! The reward is 5 spirit crystals Stone!"

Ye Shuo quickly wandered around, feeling very tempted. He was about to raise his hand to reveal it, when suddenly a mercenary jumped out beside him, and immediately revealed the mission sheet.

"Hey, that's what we saw first!" Xu Yuan exclaimed.

The mercenary raised his head: "You guys saw it first, but I got it first! First come, first served, understand? I am slow, who is to blame?" Whistling all the way, swaggering out the door .

"Forget about Xuyuan, let's change it." Ye Shuo pulled Xuyuan, "Look, that one is also good. A-level mission, go to the northwest desert to find a red sand bead, and the reward is 3 spirit crystals."

But before the two of them could make a move, another mercenary directly removed the mission sheet.

"Newcomers should honestly accept C-level missions. If they die outside, we will not be responsible for burying them!"

Xu Yuan jumped up angrily: "What are you talking about! Can't you accumulate some morals?"

Afterwards, the same situation happened again and again, no matter which task the two were interested in, there would always be a mercenary who would take off the notice first, and sneer a few words in a strange way.In the end, the two managed to snatch a B-level task sheet for hunting monsters, but a mercenary snatched it away.

"That's what we got first! First come, first served, understand?" Xu Yuan returned the sentence confidently.

The mercenary sneered: "If you have any opinions, please go directly to the employer. Look at the tasks they released, do you want you trainee mercenaries to take over, or let us official mercenaries take over? If the employer is willing, then we naturally don't care .”

In the end, all that was left was a C-level task order.

C-level tasks.

Task content: Find a stray cat with a lightning pattern on its forehead.

Reward: 3 spirit stones.

"I'm so pissed off, why do you look down on trainee mercenaries... Are you formal mercenaries from the first day you were born? If you don't even let newcomers take on tasks, how can you have a chance to accumulate points!" Xu Yuan scratched impatiently. With his hair down, looking at the only task list left in his hand, he was so angry that sparks were about to burst out from the top of his head.

Even Ye Shuo, who always puts forbearance first, finally became completely gloomy.

If the first two months were the rookie period, he would tolerate it, but now, the situation has not improved at all, and there are signs of worsening.Could it be that his forbearance just made these people treat him as a soft persimmon?
Ye Shuo clenched his fists, and was about to go directly to find Feng Yu's theory, when the conversation between two mercenaries not far away suddenly caught his attention.

"This is the latest document issued by Emperor Qianyuanzong. Brother Feng told me to deal with it quickly."

Qian Yuanzong?Ye Shuo frowned. If he remembers correctly, the faction that Mogu City is located in seems to be called Qianyuanzong...?
If it is him, he does have the ability to respond to everything.

No, it should be said, only him...

Ye Shuo sneered silently, and said lightly to his side: "I'm sorry, Xu Yuan, it seems that I have troubled you."

Since this mercenary guild is under the jurisdiction of Qianyuanzong, everyone finally has a reasonable explanation for making things difficult for them.

It's just that I didn't expect... Mo Gucheng, I misjudged him, he turned out to be such a narrow-minded person.Just because he injured his younger brother, he ordered his subordinates to avenge his own personal revenge...

Seeing Xu Yuan who was still confused, Ye Shuo explained with a sneer: "Because I offended an important figure in Qianyuanzong, he ordered me to be punished to death. Let him go, as long as he If you don’t kill me, one day, I will definitely give it all back to him!”
