After Cheating, I Became the Strongest Beast Master

Chapter 296 The Geological Expert Appears

Taotie quickly lowered his eyes in disappointment.

 Oh~it turns out it’s not for food.

 Mainly because after evolution, its current age is far from reaching the mature stage, and even what is shown on the panel is still in its juvenile stage.

 Sixiang looked away, it was a boring thing.

 At the beginning, in the laboratory, it had seen too many monsters taken away by the researchers for forced mating, and then the test subjects that had lost their value were thrown into the trash can.

Having seen these things too much, it is repelled from the bottom of my heart.

 As for Dongjun and Xiaoxu, not to mention, in terms of race and age, they are all minors.

Chen Xing said: "Don't control the beast."

The man who received the reception had a look of understanding on his face, "The two guests are coming with me."

 “Hey! Are you serious!”

Zhao Guangming followed Chen Xing and nudged Chen Xing with his elbow.

 He glanced at Chen Xing again with the same eyes as when he met Chen Xing for the first time, "Does this count as public funds for us?"

"When you get in, ask me how often the local city guards come here and how much their salary is. Brother Zhao, remember our mission and don't make mistakes. I'll wait for you outside." Chen Xing spoke in Daxia dialect Communicate in a low voice.

Then he shyly said to the man leading the way, "My friend is going!"

Zhao Guangming was shocked, why was it just me?

 You are forcing me to make a mistake!

　　It really hurts me.

 In Zhao Guangming's heartbroken eyes, Chen Xing turned and left.

 In this primitive environment, custom shops are undoubtedly the places that best reflect the local economic level.

 In other places, it is possible for people to be retired from the city guard, but not in custom shops.

 Compared to other places, custom shops have access to all kinds of religions and are absolutely well-informed.

 Ten minutes later, Zhao Guangming glanced left and right like a thief, and then quickly slipped out.

"Remember to reimburse! Don't tell anyone else." Zhao Guangming lowered his voice.

If the old man knew that he was in a place like this, his legs would be broken.

 Although he only asked for some information, no one else would believe him.

“Have you found out clearly?” Chen Xing asked.

"You can't trust me when I do things? I asked around. Whether the beast masters in the city guard have money depends mainly on whether there is a war. Generally, they will be rich for a while after fighting. Their military salary is very different from what we heard before. , it’s quite difficult to raise oneself and control the beast.”

 Chen Xing said he understood.

Chen Xing said: "Then the basic salary we offer can be three times what they paid when they were in the Stone City Guards. In addition, according to the old rules, you will get 50% of the loot, and the super-level beast masters will share the remaining 50%."

“Three times? Is it too high?” Zhao Guangming frowned.

 Chen Xing shook his head, "Not much. If you work overtime on domestic holidays, you will be paid three times the salary. If you are a mercenary, wars will be frequent and the casualty rate will be high. This is as it should be."

 “Okay.” Zhao Guangming felt that what Chen Xing said made sense.

And the money is not from them, it is from the internal finance of Xinhuo.

Xinhuo's internal appropriation was issued by Daxia's Ministry of Finance. He and Chen Xing both had their own salaries, and the money could not be touched. Although no one said anything if he took it in his capacity, he felt uncomfortable after taking some money. Besides, he doesn't lack that much either.

 South of Stone City.

This city is full of low stone buildings, and narrow alleys connect the entire city together like spider threads.

 Moonlight shines on the upper part of the wall, while the lower part is shrouded in shadow.

A tall and thin figure walked through the alley carrying two bags of meat. Any meat that was not sold that day before the meat factory closed in the evening would be discounted. Buying meat when the meat factory was about to close was one of the most difficult conditions in Stone City. A method commonly used by beast masters.

 Because Stone City is humid and hot, meat will easily deteriorate if left unprocessed for a long time.

 “Brother Hong, Brother Hong.”

The door of a house at the corner of the alley was opened half a crack, and a short, fat man waved from behind the crack.

 “What’s wrong?” The tall and thin figure stopped.

"Brother Hong, I heard that the city lord's palace issued an order to regroup. I heard through the grapevine that they want to set up a non-staff mercenary group. Do you want to go? I'm a little unsure and want to ask your opinion. "

The man known as Brother Hong was silent for a while and then said: "It's not like you don't know that my boy is almost at the age of training a beast. If he doesn't go, how can he have the money to buy him a better beast? You can't let him." He should go the same way as me."

“Brother Hong, if you go, I will go too. I believe you! Please take care of me this time!” the short, fat man said quickly.

 “Well, let’s work together.” Brother Hong nodded.

Scenes like this are happening in many places in Stone City.

Many veterans who quit the city guard for various reasons have received recall orders from the city lord's palace, and there is also secret news that they want to be recalled and form a mercenary group.

 Some veterans choose to return, while others decide not to participate for various reasons.

 But even this group of veterans who choose to return is not a small number.

 The next day, the city lord's mansion.

Chen Xing and Zhao Guangming came to the backyard of the City Lord's Mansion, where more than 500 beast masters had gathered.

Most of them are quite old, and more than one-third of them are gray-haired old people.

However, even though he is an old man, the murderous look in his eyes is not bad at all.

 Chen Xing was observing them, and they were also sizing up Chen Xing.

Seeing Chen Xing's young face, some people had a flash of disdain in their eyes.

Some beast masters frowned. Such a young boy couldn't be the leader of a mercenary group.

 Don't lead them into a trap then.

However, although I had thoughts in my heart, no one said it openly.

These people are not stupid.

Even if he is young, he definitely has the background to be able to command them. The worst he can do is not join the mercenary group. There is no need to offend others for no reason. This young man loves face. If he contradicts him, he may be offended. What if he encounters a mercenary? small.

Gu Yuzhi said to the group of beast masters: "Wait a moment, the agreed time is two o'clock in the afternoon, there is still a while, have you all eaten?"

 A beast master in the back row said loudly: "Mr. City Lord, are you in charge of the food here?"

Gu Yuzhi smiled slightly and said, "No matter!"

“I haven’t eaten yet. I haven’t eaten the food in the city lord’s mansion yet.”

 “I ate, but I also want to eat from the city lord’s house.”

 Compared to their attitude towards Chen Xing, this group of retired beast masters were much kinder to Gu Yuzhi, and their attitude was also very relaxed, giving them a feeling of being together.

Gu Yuzhi had already made preparations and asked people to bring food.

 He himself was sitting under a tree next to him with a lunch box in his hands, and a group of beast masters gathered around him.

 “It’s up to you to take care of the city lord.” Zhao Guangming said in a low voice.

"What's wrong? Are you jealous? It's certain that someone else's soldiers will love him." Chen Xing smiled, but he didn't care about such a trivial matter. "I read those military training books, and many of them say that you love your soldiers like your own children, and eat and live together. When the time comes, we will do the same?"

Chen Xing said slowly: "I think the most important thing is to show my strength."

Zhao Guangming raised his eyebrows and said, "Are you going to use your strength to push them down? Can you hold them back and stop them from overturning?"

 Chen Xing shook his head, "Definitely not now."

 Find a suitable opportunity to show your strength.

 When you have strength, you can gain respect by being more easy-going. The easy-going approachability of a billionaire is not the same thing as the easy-going approachability of a beggar.

No matter how upright your words may be, the subconscious emotional reaction in your heart cannot lie.

 Being too accommodating from the beginning will only damage your authority.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Gu Yuzhi clapped his hands and said, "It's already two o'clock. If you haven't come yet, there is a high chance that you won't come. Let me briefly explain that these two are the investors of the mercenary group."

 All the beast masters present looked at Chen Xing and Zhao Guangming.

"Let them talk about the treatment." Gu Yuzhi looked at Chen Xing and Zhao Guangming, asking who was coming.

Chen Xing took the initiative to stand up and said, "Let me put it simply, the salary is mainly based on the strength of the main beast master. For the highest beast master level, you can get 3 spiritual gold per month for every five levels. If you are below 5 levels, you can get 5 levels. calculate.

The beastmaster can take away half the value of the trophies for the enemies he kills on the battlefield. Don’t worry, we have multiple cameras here to record them, and you will also be carrying a portable recorder, so there will be no mistakes or omissions.

The treatment of super-level beast masters is calculated separately and will be discussed separately later. "

Hearing Chen Xing’s price, many beast masters’ eyes lit up, but some also felt that the price was too low.

Gu Yuzhi was a little surprised. The price was not bad, but not low.

Hearing the price mentioned by Chen Xing, the beast masters below had different expressions for a moment.

Many beast masters even communicated directly, "What do you think of the price?"

 “It’s pretty good, higher than I expected.”

“But it’s also more dangerous, fighting the beast masters in Jiuchi City.”

“Come on, it’s not like you haven’t heard about the recent battle reports, those beast masters in Jiuchi City, hey.”

“If you have thought about it, you can join directly. If you feel that the price is not suitable, then go back.” Gu Yuzhi said.

Hundreds of beast masters present looked at each other in confusion, and in the end only three withdrew.

 The remaining beast masters stayed.

The three beast masters who left the city lord's palace had just left the courtyard. Before they left the city lord's palace, several figures appeared around them and surrounded them.

One of them's face changed suddenly, "You just don't want to join, so why are you forcing me? You are -"

Before he finished speaking, he was engulfed in blue flames.

 The domineering flames left several large craters in place.

Su Lai's figure walked out from behind the crowd, looking at the big crater left on the spot with an expressionless expression. "Clean up the scene."

"yes."

An earth-type beast master began to fill the hole. Su Lai looked at the hole on the ground with his expression as usual.

I have investigated before coming here. Some of these beast masters have joined Jiuchi City, while others have rebelled against Burning Sky Giant City.

These people are all on the list, although I don’t know what their purpose is.

 But as long as they are not allowed to get out alive, it doesn't matter what the real purpose is.

the other side.

 After confirming that the remaining beast masters had all decided to join the mercenary group, Zhao Guangming and Gu Yuzhi signed a geological survey employment agreement with the city government.

 Then the city lord's palace signed a mercenary group employment agreement with the retired soldiers.

With the City Lord's Mansion as the guarantor, Chen Xing and the others will pay the money directly to the City Lord's Mansion, and then the City Lord's Mansion will transfer the wages to these retired beast masters.

 Having trust in the City Lord’s Mansion, they don’t have to worry about Chen Xing and the others defaulting on their debts.

 For Chen Xing, this ensures that even if the news leaks out, the final source can only be traced back to Gu Yuzhi at most.

 This is the contradiction between Stone City and Jiuchi City.

 It will not involve Daxia.

　　Although anyone with a discerning eye knows that there is Daxia's support behind it, knowing it is one thing, and leaving a clue is another.

Even if Fentian Giant City denounces Daxia, Daxia will not admit that these people are related to Daxia.

What does the good deeds done by Stone City have to do with us in Daxia?

Stone City invited geologists from Daxia to survey the mineral veins. Chen Xing and the others were all geologists who came all the way from Daxia.

In order to explore mineral veins, is it normal for geological experts to travel around?

In order to ensure their own safety, is it normal for geological experts to hire some mercenaries from Stone City?

It has nothing to do with the geologists if these mercenaries do other things besides protecting. They are just a group of mercenaries, and they have not signed a contract to sell themselves. This group of innocent geologists in Daxia cannot stop them from doing anything.

However, it is absolutely not recommended to make extra money during the period of employment. Experts Chen and Zhao strongly criticized it and will not do it next time.

 After signing the agreement, Chen Xing and Zhao Guangming looked up at each other and smiled knowingly.

“In addition to the 547 high-level beast masters, there are also six super-level beast masters.” Gu Yuzhi summoned the six super-level beast masters.

 Chen Xing looked at these six people.

A super-level beast master can definitely be called a master even in a place like Stone City.

A beast master of this level has many ways to make money. Even if he joins a certain family as a guest, he can still receive a large sum of money every month.

 So they were able to come here absolutely under the orders of the city lord.

Gu Yuzhi said to Chen Xing: "These six people were all masters in the past, and they have mastered the skills of tactical beast masters."

  Tactical Beastmaster Skills!

Chen Xing thought of what he had heard in Waymon’s class before.

 Compared with ordinary Beast Master skills, these tactical Beast Master skills can play a greater role on the battlefield.

Even the number of beast master skills that a super-level beast master can master is limited.

Depending on the different transcendence rituals, a super-level beast master can only master 5 beast master skills at most, and only 3 at a minimum.

 In addition to the life-saving beast master skills that must be mastered, there are not many beast master skill positions left for the beast master to master.

It is very rare to leave one of the Beastmaster skill slots for tactical Beastmaster skills for team effects. Generally, only Beastmasters in the army do this.

“This is Guwu, Gongyinhong, Duyu, Shichen, Shiyao, and Shiluoshan.”

 Three people named Shi?

Chen Xing looked at the three people behind him. These three people were close to each other and obviously had a close relationship. It was recorded in the information before coming here that the surname Shi was a common surname in Stone City.
