Legendary Beastmaster Zhang Deshuai

Chapter 38 Becoming a Mercenary

Zhang Deshuai finally arrived at the gate of the Mercenary Guild. He looked up at the magnificent building and a feeling of pride surged in his heart.

Walking into the Mercenary Guild, it was bustling with people. Various mercenaries gathered here, some were talking loudly about their adventures, and some were carefully checking the task list to find tasks that suited them.

Zhang Deshuai looked around curiously, feeling the unique atmosphere here. He saw that the mercenaries exuded an unusual aura, with perseverance, courage, and wisdom. They were all people fighting for their dreams and goals.

The mercenaries gathered in groups of three or five, loudly discussing various missions and adventures. Zhang Deshuai looked at them curiously, feeling both excited and a little nervous.

He walked slowly in the union, looking around. Everyone here seemed to have their own unique story and experience, and the atmosphere they exuded made Zhang Deshuai feel both novel and yearning.

Coming to the task list, Zhang Deshuai carefully browsed through the tasks one by one. Without the idea of ​​pets, he was now more focused on finding tasks that could truly improve his strength and experience.

"Escort important supplies to a small border town." Zhang Deshuai whispered a task, "This seems good. It can help me improve my ability to respond."

He continued to read down and saw the task of "Explore ancient ruins and search for lost treasures", which made him feel moved.

Just as he was thinking about which mission to choose, a young mercenary came over.

"Hey, brother, it seems you are a newcomer." The mercenary said with a smile.

Zhang Deshuai nodded and smiled somewhat embarrassedly.

"I suggest you try the mission of eliminating bandits. Although it is a bit dangerous, it is very good for training people." The mercenary said enthusiastically.

Zhang Deshuai thought about it and felt that this task was indeed very challenging and might help him grow quickly.

Therefore, Zhang Deshuai prepared to take on the task of eliminating the bandits. He knew that this would be the first major test in his mercenary career.

Zhang Deshuai strode towards the task list with great excitement, his eyes gleaming with eagerness, as if he could already see himself performing well in the exciting tasks.

However, when he couldn't wait to reach out to take on the next task, the staff of the Mercenary Union stopped him with a smile.

"Young man, don't be in a hurry. You haven't registered as a mercenary yet, so you can't accept any missions." The staff member's voice was gentle and patient.

Zhang Deshuai was stunned for a moment, with a hint of embarrassment and disappointment on his face, but it soon turned into curiosity.

The staff member looked at his expression and began to explain to him with a smile: "Our Mercenary Union is a place where heroes from all walks of life gather. Here, everyone strives for various goals and dreams. To become a member of our Mercenary Union, you need to register."

Zhang Deshuai listened carefully, his eyes fixed on the staff.

"Registration is actually very simple. You need to fill in some basic information, including your name, strength level, skills you are good at, etc. Then we will issue you a mercenary badge, which means that you have officially become a mercenary." The staff member continued, "After becoming a mercenary, you can accept tasks according to the regulations. Each task has a corresponding difficulty level and reward. You can choose the appropriate task according to your ability."

Zhang Deshuai nodded continuously as he listened, and gained a clearer understanding of the Mercenary Guild.

"Moreover, our mercenary union has strict rules and regulations that everyone must abide by. For example, you cannot arbitrarily break the rules of the mission, you cannot harm other mercenaries, etc. We are a disciplined organization." The staff explained in detail.

"In addition, in the process of completing the mission, you may encounter various situations, which require you to have enough wisdom and courage to deal with them. Our Mercenary Union will also provide you with some necessary support and help."

Zhang Deshuai's blood boiled after hearing this and he was full of anticipation for his upcoming mercenary career.

"I understand, thank you for your explanation. Then I will go register now!" Zhang Deshuai said excitedly.

The staff member smiled and nodded, and took Zhang Deshuai to the registration place. Zhang Deshuai had already begun to look forward to creating a brilliant future in the Mercenary Guild.

The staff member smiled and continued to say to Zhang Deshuai: "The mercenaries in our mercenary union are divided into levels. This is very important."

Zhang Deshuai listened attentively without blinking.

"First of all, the lowest level is the apprentice mercenary, which is the newcomer stage who has just joined the union, just like you are about to become. This stage is mainly about accumulating experience and improving strength." The staff explained patiently.

"When you complete a certain number of tasks of a certain difficulty, you can be promoted to an ordinary mercenary. Ordinary mercenaries already have certain abilities and experience and can take on more challenging tasks."

As Zhang Deshuai listened, he imagined in his mind the scene of his own step-by-step promotion.

"The next level up are the senior mercenaries. Senior mercenaries are very good in both combat skills and the ability to deal with various situations. They can often take charge of their own tasks and complete those difficult and important missions."

"Above the senior mercenaries, there are elite mercenaries. Elite mercenaries are the best among mercenaries. They are extremely powerful and well-known. They are respected wherever they go."

"Finally, the highest level is the legendary mercenary. Mercenaries who can reach this level all have outstanding military exploits and extraordinary achievements. Their stories are widely circulated in the mercenary world, and they are the goals that all mercenaries admire and pursue." There was a hint of reverence in the staff's tone.

Zhang Deshuai's heart was filled with emotion when he heard this, as if he could see himself climbing up the long road step by step along the social ladder.

“I will definitely work hard, starting from an apprentice mercenary, and constantly improve myself to become the most powerful legendary mercenary!” Zhang Deshuai clenched his fists and said firmly.

The staff looked at his fighting spirit and encouraged him with a smile: "As long as you have determination and perseverance, you can definitely do it.

Zhang Deshuai followed the staff to the place where the formalities were handled, where there were several neat tables and some office supplies.

The staff member took out a form and handed it to Zhang Deshuai, saying, "Come on, fill in your basic information. Please fill it out truthfully."

Zhang Deshuai took the form and read it carefully. It required filling in name, age, place of origin, skills, etc. Zhang Deshuai picked up the pen and filled it out carefully, stroke by stroke, as if every word carried his vision for the future.

After filling in the information, the staff member said, "The next step is to pay the handling fee and deposit. The handling fee is not high, and it is mainly used for the processing of some documents and the operation of the union. The deposit is to ensure that you can abide by the rules and commitments during the execution of the task."

Zhang Deshuai nodded, took out some gold coins from his pocket, counted them and handed them to the staff. Seeing the gold coins in his hand decrease, he did not feel reluctant at all, but full of expectations.

The staff carefully counted the gold coins, and after confirming that they were correct, they smiled and said to Zhang Deshuai, "Okay, the formalities are complete. From now on, you are an apprentice mercenary of our Mercenary Union! This is your mercenary badge, you must keep it well."

Zhang Deshuai carefully took the brand new badge, which was engraved with the logo of the Mercenary Union and shone with a unique light in the sun. He pinned the badge on his chest, and an inexplicable sense of pride arose spontaneously.

"I will work hard to complete the task and live up to this badge!" Zhang Deshuai vowed secretly.

The staff patted him on the shoulder and encouraged him, "Come on, Zhang Deshuai. I believe you will carve out a niche for yourself in the Mercenary Guild. Remember to keep an eye on the mission list and choose the mission that suits you to challenge."

Zhang Deshuai nodded heavily, then turned around and looked at the bustling mercenary union hall again, his heart full of fighting spirit and infinite desire for the future.
