Return to the month before the end of the world

After the carnival, life has to go on, so Chaoyang City has returned to its previous state.

At this time, the City Lord's Palace and the Mercenary Association jointly issued an announcement, which instantly attracted everyone's attention.

The content of the announcement is roughly to facilitate the rest of the mercenaries, so a number of small towns will be built outside the city, and the top-ranked mercenary guilds will obtain part of the rights of the small towns.

This right includes jurisdiction and tax dividends, which will undoubtedly make the upcoming mercenary competition more intense.

At the same time, the mighty convoy has left the city and begun to build small towns in some areas that are easy to defend and difficult to attack.

These towns will exist as satellite towns of Chaoyang City. They can well observe the traces of strange beasts. If they cannot be stopped, they can be withdrawn to Chaoyang City at any time.

The ownership of these small towns is in the hands of the city lord, and the mercenary guilds that have obtained management rights will be responsible for the daily management of the small towns. Unless there are changes in the small towns, Chaoyang City will usually not intervene.

In addition, the most important thing is the commercial street. Because there is a huge demand for materials in the last days, the profits of the commercial street are quite high.

The fundamental reason why Chaoyang City is so lavish is Xiao Chan. She is involved in almost all profitable industries, and then uses the money she earns to support the expenses of the entire city.

This is also one of the reasons why Zhan Beizun has always felt guilty, because without Xiao Chan, being able to maintain the normal operation of the city would already be a very proud achievement.

Zhou Tai clicked his tongue and felt a little regretful. Because he had just joined the mercenary group, it was unlikely that he would get a chance to settle in the town. He would have to wait a year.

This is also Xiao Chan's rule. The top ten members of the mercenary guild can choose any town to settle in every year, and there will be re-selection every year.

Of course, it is not without requirements. The top ten guilds must complete at least three S-level tasks every year, which is considered a mandatory requirement.

Many mercenary guilds expressed their incomprehension because S-level tasks were very difficult, and three tasks were enough to cause their mercenary guilds to suffer heavy losses.

The Mercenary Association quickly responded to this matter. First of all, the strength of the mercenary group is constantly improving. If you can't do it now, it doesn't mean you can't do it in the future. Secondly, as one of the top ten mercenary guilds, they are enjoying Along with honor and interests, they also have the responsibility to eliminate alien beasts.

The Mercenary Association's answer satisfied most of the people, because if there were no restrictions, the top ten mercenary groups would get bigger and bigger, eventually forming a situation where they would be too big to lose.

In addition, there are the top ten individual mercenaries. These ten people will become the top ten masters of the Mercenary Association, automatically obtain the position of elder of the Mercenary Association, and can enjoy a series of privileges in the Mercenary Association, etc.

This gave many lone rangers hope, such as Chu Tiange.

After removing the threat in Peach Blossom Spring, he left the hunting team and came to Chaoyang City. However, he found that he could not do without Chaoyang City and had to return to his old career and become a mercenary.

Fortunately, he did not lose his previous identity as a mercenary, so he successfully became the only fifth-level mercenary in Chaoyang City.

This was mainly due to Xiao Chan raising him to level five, which saved him a lot of time, and he was able to reach the level six mercenary achievement so quickly.

However, after reaching the sixth level of mercenary, he learned that he was still an intermediate mercenary, but the difficulty of the task suddenly increased a lot.

This is not about Xiao Changong avenging his personal revenge, but after reaching the intermediate level of mercenary, the quality of the tasks increases a lot and the difficulty increases a lot with each level.

Chu Tiange was attracted by the treatment of the top ten masters, so he planned to get the title of the top ten masters. Even if he couldn't survive elsewhere in the future, he could still come back here to leave himself a way out.

As time progressed, it was finally time for selection.

Early in the morning, the people of Chaoyang City came outside the city and prepared to watch the excitement here.

In order to prevent accidents, Zhan Beizun dispatched several thousand soldiers to maintain order, and Xiao Chan also sent hundreds of women's soldiers to mix with the crowd to check for danger.

Zhan Beizun came to the scene in person to cheer everyone on, and then directly announced the start of the game.

Soon, the auditions began.

Because there were so many people, the audition process was extremely slow.

At the same time, Xiao Chan led the staff of the Mercenary Association to review the guilds participating in the selection in the Mercenary Association building.

The items responsible for review include the success rate of the guild in completing tasks, whether there are mercenary wages in arrears, etc.

In order to prevent cheating, Xiao Chan adopted a multi-person review method. The same document needs to be reviewed by multiple people to maintain fairness as much as possible.

At night, these people ate and lived in the Mercenary Association building. Anyway, there were a lot of empty buildings here, and no one was allowed to leave until the results came out.

In addition, the Detachment of Women also launched an investigation. Once an incident of favoritism and fraud is discovered, this person will be in trouble.

First of all, the job will definitely be gone. Secondly, he will have to face charges. Whether he can still find a job after being released is a question.

After lasting for nearly a week, the first names of the personal challenge have been announced. In addition to some masters from the mercenary guild, a considerable number of them are lone rangers.

"Congratulations to all of you who have entered the top ranks. You have also been given the opportunity to join the army. As long as you pass the enlistment assessment, you can become a soldier."

"Can I join the Women's Army?" a woman shouted.

Zhan Beizun smiled bitterly and said: "I can't make the decision on this, but I can make the decision to let you enter the training camp to study, and the Detachment of Women will choose people from it."

"Thank you, General War."

In the evening, Xiao Chan and Zhan Beizun sat together to have dinner.

"How's everything going on here?" Zhan Beizun asked curiously.

"I'm worried about this matter. Many guilds have about the same points. It's really difficult to judge the level, and outsiders must be convinced." Xiao Chan said.

Zhan Beizun waved his hands helplessly. Xiao Chan couldn't think of a solution, let alone him. Fortunately, he was in charge of the individual selection competition, so there weren't so many troubles.

"A lot of good ideas appeared this time, and I also met an unexpected person."

"Oh, who is it?" Xiao Chan asked curiously.

"He is one of my younger juniors. I studied with his master for a while. I don't know if you have heard of his name. His name is Chu Tiange." Zhan Beizun said.

"It's him?"

"You know him?"

"When the alien beasts attacked the city before, he was in Peach Blossom Spring City, and he temporarily joined the hunting team because of his good strength. His strength is indeed good, but he seems to be going to join his relatives, and he probably won't stay here much longer." Xiao Chan said. . .
