Digital Alien

Chapter 9
The Qiyao mercenary regiment's base is located in the easternmost part of Ningxin Town, and it takes nearly an hour to walk.

The western part of Ningxin Town is almost full of merchants and residents, and there are rarely traces of mercenaries.But it was completely different in the East District. Pedestrians everywhere wore armbands on their arms, and the armbands were the symbols of the mercenary regiments they belonged to.

Fang Yu stopped after crossing a street, and looked up at the magnificent three-story mansion in front of him. This was the residence that the Qiyao Mercenary Group had just bought.

Since Qiyao Mercenary Corps and the Mayor of Ningxin Town reached a cooperation two months ago, the commission has increased accordingly. A month ago, they even spent [-] gold coins to buy this newly built mansion.

It can be regarded as rich and powerful, which made the other mercenary groups envious. They all looked like they had eaten lemons, with sourness written all over their faces.

Fang Yu took out the armband belonging to the candidate member of Qiyao Mercenary Corps and put it on his left arm, and the mercenaries passing by all around looked at Fang Yu suddenly differently.

There is envy, there is regret, and there is jealousy.

Even though he is an alternate member, he has a chance to become a regular member by becoming an alternate member. Now there are countless people vying to become an alternate member of the Qiyao Mercenary Corps.

Qiyao has now suspended the recruitment of new members.

Fang Yu didn't pay attention to these gazes, and walked into the gate of the courtyard with his feet up.

"Fang Yu? Your body has recovered!"

The mercenary guarding the gate spotted Fang Yu and greeted him.Fang Yu turned his head and saw that he was a bald and strong man about 20 years old, who was an alternate member like him.

However, Fang Yu didn't recognize who the other party was for a while, and it took him a long time to find out the appearance of a person from his memory.

The bald man who guards the goal is called Hu Wansan, and he is one of the few candidates who usually have a good relationship with Fang Yu.

However, Hu Wansan in Fang Yu's memory had a neat cropped head, and after only a month of seeing each other, he turned into a bald head.

"You are... old Hu?" Fang Yu said with a suppressed smile, "Why are you bald?"

Hu Sanwan rubbed his head, laughed himself, and said, "Calm down, save trouble! It's you, you look much better."

"Well, it's much better. I've been thinking of reporting sooner for the past few days." Fang Yu approached, gestured for money, and said in a low voice, "I'm missing this."

Hu Sanwan gave Fang Yu an expression that he understood, and said in a low voice with a smile: "You have made meritorious service this time. It is the first time for us to be a candidate for meritorious service. The head of the team will reward you well. I heard that, This time I want to turn you into a full-time member, alas, I'm so envious of you guys."

Fang Yu gave the other party a chest hammer with a smile, and said, "If the brothers receive a commission someday, I will treat you to a drink!"

The two chatted and laughed for a while, and then the mercenary who guarded the gate suddenly said to each other mysteriously in a low voice: "But you have to be careful, I heard from the gossip that the veterans in the regiment don't like you very much."

"If you want me to say, if you really don't like it, it's right, just don't turn it around!" Hu Wansan said with a crooked mouth, "You said that you have a bad impression with them, and your own strength is not high. Be mad at them. Why don't you just refuse, get some money and have fun with my brother."

Fang Yu knew that the other party was worried about him, so he smiled and said, "It's okay, I have my own measure."

After hearing this, Hu Wansan stared blankly at Fang Yu, touched his bald head and said, "Why do I feel that you are a little different from before?"

That's because you become bald, so your understanding becomes stronger.Fang Yu thought silently in his heart.

"Okay, I won't argue with you anymore, I have to report to receive the reward."

Fang Yu made a fool of himself, said hello, and walked through the small courtyard to the main entrance of the mansion.

In the past, the alternate members used to go through the side door, where the alternate members rested.As for the main entrance, alternates are not allowed to enter easily, and only regular members can freely enter and exit the hall inside.

However, Fang Yu came to receive the reward today, so he can naturally enter the main entrance.

……

"Deputy team, I really still feel that Fang Yu is unreliable. Although he looks a little better, his strength is ridiculously poor, and he is so timid!"

There is a long conference table in the center of the hall of Qiyao Mercenary Corps. Lan Qingyou, the deputy head of the mercenary group, sits at the top, and there are three young girls sitting down one by one, all aged between sixteen and seventeen.

The one who spoke was called Jasmine. She was petite, and she was wearing a light purple short dress. She looked cute.If she was walking outside alone, someone would believe that she was a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl.

But the premise is that she didn't hold the broad-bladed sword next to her that was bigger than her body.

The girl sitting on Jasmine's left is called Yingluo. She has a pretty face and a pair of glasses on the bridge of her nose. She looks gentle and refined.

The one sitting on the far left is called Qing Lan, the youngest of the seven official members including the leader, only 16 years old, but the most developed.

Qing Lan is Jasmine's junior sister. She just raised her head at this time, wanting to persuade Jasmine, but she dared not speak. After hesitating for a while, she finally plucked up the courage and said, "I think..."

"What's wrong?" Jasmine turned her head to look at Qinglan.

Qing Lan was at a loss for words, and finally closed her mouth under Jasmine's proud gaze, and lowered her head again: "No...it's nothing."

"I also don't think it's necessary for the team leader to make him a full-time member. Since he has made a contribution, we just need to reward him with some gold coins. There is no need to let such a person who can only slow down participate in our mission." Ying Luo, who was sitting in the middle, will He closed the book in his hand and said lightly.

"This is the leader's decision, and there is nothing we can do to stop it." Lan Qingyou, who was seated at the top, said with a smile, "You don't have to be discouraged, his strength is so low, and I will feel ashamed when the time comes. With this kind of personality, as long as you go through two missions, you will definitely apply for a downgrade in fear."

"He is the first candidate who has made meritorious service since the establishment of Qiyao. The head of the group made this decision in order to motivate other candidates and let them see the hope of becoming a full-time member. Don’t blame us, it’s him who didn’t seize the opportunity.”

"It makes sense to say that." Jasmine crossed her arms and raised her chin. "But let me tell you in advance that I won't go on missions with a coward like him."

"Speaking of which, why haven't you seen anyone from Vice President Jin and the big guy? Aren't you going to the shopping street to invite people?" Jasmine looked at the magic clock hanging on the wall. It was already one o'clock in the afternoon, and the dessert shop was almost over. The busiest time.

"This time we have decided to show our utmost sincerity. If Senior Xiao still refuses to agree, then we can only do it ourselves." Lan Qingyou looked at the clock on the wall and frowned.

"Xiao Yuan is the only magician in Ningxin Town who has the ability to make induction cards, but she said before that she will not make magic cards in the future, so it is very difficult to invite her." Yingluo adjusted her glasses. "But it will be more difficult for us to go to the huge Ningxin Academy to find the hidden necromancer."

Having said that, everyone's eyes dimmed a little.

At this moment, the sound of the door opening sounded, and the four of them looked up quickly, with different expressions.

It was Fang Yu who walked in.

As soon as Fang Yu entered the door, Jasmine snorted, turned her head away, and kept hinting in her mind that she would treat Fang Yu as an empty person, but the more she thought about it, the more annoying she became.

Ying Luo put away the books on the table expressionlessly, got up and walked to the bookshelf.

Only Qinglan smiled at Fang Yu, but she took a peek at Jasmine, but she didn't dare to make a sound, so she could only lower her head.

You can see the performance of the three of them.Well, it's really unwelcome.

These three beautiful girls, together with Lan Qingyou and the mysterious team leader, are all the women in the official members.There are many beauties among the official members of Qiyao Mercenary Corps, which is well-known in the entire Eastern District. Ninety percent of the men who want to join Qiyao come for this.

But Fang Yu was not included in that [-]%, he came purely for money at that time.And he joined early, when the mercenary group had just been formed, and these girls were not well-known yet.

In terms of appearance, Fang Yu felt that Fang Xiaoxue was better than them, and Miss Xiaoyuan was no worse than them.The business of the dessert shop is good, not only because of the delicious food, as long as you see that there are several times more male customers than women in the dessert shop, you will know it.

Fang Yu is not familiar with these official members, but it seems that they know him very well, especially those two, the deep contempt and disgust can be felt from a long distance away.

Fang Yu didn't care either, his main purpose today was to accept rewards, but Fang Yu still wanted this official member status, not only the high commission, but also some convenience for Fang Yu to collect emotional points.

The other members' impression of themselves can only come slowly.

"Fang Yu, how is your recovery?" Lan Qingyou stood up and said with a smile.For some reason, Fang Yu always felt that Lan Qingyou's smile was more like a professional fake smile.

"It's much better, thank you for your concern."

Fang Yu exchanged some polite words with her, and then received the reward under the witness of four veteran official members.

The scene was very embarrassing for a time, and other people should do what they should, as if they had nothing to do with this person.

Only Qinglan raised her hands, wanting to congratulate her, but she took a peek at the other two, and after struggling for a while, she chose to remain silent.

Fang Yu had expected this scene when he first came in, and he probably guessed their mood, they just regarded Fang Yu as a drag bottle who ate public rations and didn't work.

Forget it, I'm too lazy to argue with children, and besides, Fang Yu can't force others to celebrate for him.Just let it be.

"Squeak..."

At this moment, the door was pushed open, and two people walked in from the outside.

One of them was Jin Xiao who was well-proportioned, and the other was a big guy who was a lot stronger than Hu Wansan.The big man was holding a long shield about the size of Jasmine's great sword. Fang Yu remembered that his name was Shi Zifeng.

"Deputy Lan, we're back." Jin Xiao said loudly as soon as he entered the door, and then saw Fang Yu standing beside him, and paused in his footsteps: "Healed?"

Without waiting for Fang Yu's answer, Jin Xiao went on to say: "Since you are cured, don't always think about being lazy, it's not so easy to be a regular member."

Shi Zifeng on the side walked over with strides, put his thick arms around Fang Yu's shoulders, and said with a smile: "We will be brothers from now on, congratulations on becoming a regular."

"Hmph." Jasmine who was on the side turned her head and snorted.

"Don't be angry with that little girl, she's just like that." Shi Zifeng smiled honestly, "My name is Shi Zifeng, if you don't understand anything in the future, just ask me!"

"Big man, has it been too long since you sparred with me?" Jasmine stood up on the chair angrily, and patted the big sword behind her.But Jasmine stood on the chair without pebbles.

"Okay, since everyone is here, let's go, go to the shopping street." Lan Qingyou interrupted loudly, adjusted her clothes and said to Fang Yu: "You can go with us too, but Don't talk nonsense when you get there, senior Xiao is very important to this mission."

As soon as Lan Qingyou finished speaking, everyone in the room quickly arranged their images and went out one after another.

"Buying Street?" Fang Yu couldn't help asking when he heard the very familiar street name, "Who is Senior Xiao?"

He has been in Maimai Street for several years, but he has never heard of Senior Xiao?
"Senior Xiao is the most powerful magician in the town, you just have to follow along." Ying Luo stopped in front of Fang Yu, glanced sideways at Fang Yu, and said calmly while supporting her glasses.

Fang Yu could only keep his mouth shut, and silently followed them in the direction of Maimai Street. At the same time, taking advantage of other people's inattention, he put the group leader's reward into the system backpack.

After that, I clicked on the detection function, and while I was walking, I was able to hide behind and test the strength of the other official members of the mercenary group.
