I Made Beast-taming Widespread Across The Globe - Chapter 166

166 How Simple Is This? Fill It With Your Life ~

Su Qingqing heaved a sigh of relief and hurriedly said,

“Fortunately, there are much fewer people today than in the past few days. There are only so many residents around the academy.”

“No matter how far away it is, perhaps not many people are willing to specially make a trip.”

Lin Ye nodded.

!!

The current beast scene had yet to develop to the point where one would be “too embarrassed to go out without a beast”.

It was only during this period of time that the Fire Phoenix’s video attracted the interest of many people.

Otherwise, after the students of the academy digested it, the source of the “customers” would probably only be recommendations by acquaintances.

However, Lin Ye was not anxious now.

He believed that after the competition was held, the popularity would definitely increase.

If it really did not work, he could also pull this Blackie and the Fire Phoenix to continue “performing on the streets” ~

When the Fire Phoenix came out to exercise again, Blackie would go to the street to act cute.

It could attract people.

After understanding the situation a little, Lin Ye ordered lunch and ate with the three employees.

This time, because of the dining table, Lin Ye directly called them to the room on the second floor.

Including the Great Sages, the four of them and the monkey directly ate heartily.

At the same time, more than ten kilometers outside the city, in the temporary camp where Hong Zhijun was, he was stopping to report to Wu Yan and his two subordinates.

“Vice Commander Hong, our people just went to take a look around that dense forest.”

“Other than that highway, there’s a slightly narrower road on the right of the hundred-meter tall building. Moreover, there are fewer buildings on both sides, and the forest is not that dense. There should be fewer green spiders and vines.”

Hearing Wu Yan’s report, Hong Zhijun touched his chin and knocked on the table.

“Then how should we advance there?”

He pulled over the old map and pointed at the fork Wu Yan had mentioned.

“It’s about a kilometer from our path to the dense forest and this fork you mentioned.

“We can’t just drive over, right?”

“Or does Officer Wu think that all the soldiers under me are like your subordinates?”

Hearing Hong Zhijun’s slightly mocking tone, Wu Yan was not angry.

After all, what he said was the truth.

Although Wu Yan had his own plans, everything still required them to successfully reach Qingquan City.

Therefore, on this point, he and Hong Zhijun had the same goal.

“Vice Commander Hong, don’t be anxious about this.”

“Why don’t we change our train of thought? Since the higher-ups don’t want us to send more troops, why don’t we use a small team to slowly clean up those things?”

“I don’t believe that we can’t kill all the vines and green spiders here.”

Hong Zhijun glanced at Wu Yan.

He wanted to know if this cunning person in front of him had any other motive for raising this suggestion.

However, thinking that Wu Yan had only brought two people over, Hong Zhijun temporarily put down his doubts.

“How so?”

“If you want to clean up those things, you need at least a certain number of level four or above mutants.”

“Those spiders are fine, but the defense of the vines is very effective against them.”

“Even with your people and me, there are only more than ten of us.”

“Could it be that you want the higher-ups to send us another unit composed of intermediate officers?”

Wu Yan smiled and shook his head.

“Of course not.”

He then pointed behind him and smiled.

“We can’t request more troops from the army, but there are many mercenaries who can work hard.”

“Even if my strength is limited to level four and above, I can still gather a lot in Jiangzhou City, right?”

“As long as we clear this one-kilometer journey, when we reach that narrow road, even if there are still green spiders and vine people around, they won’t be able to cause much of a commotion.”

“Of course, this method might require a certain amount of credits and crystal cores, as well as the spoils of war of those mutated beasts.

“It depends on whether Vice Commander Hong is willing or not.”

“Mercenaries?”

Hearing Wu Yan’s words, Hong Zhijun was slightly stunned.

It was mainly because this was a method he had never imagined.

Moreover… it felt a little strange to ask mercenaries to help with the army’s mission.

Seeing that Hong Zhijun seemed to be a little hesitant about the mercenaries, Wu Yan continued to bewitch,

“What’s wrong with being a mercenary?”

“Although these people’s strengths are mixed, they all have one thing in common—they can work for money.

…

“Isn’t this what we need?”

“With these people joining, at least we don’t have to worry about too many casualties.”

“As for the casualties of the mercenaries, I think… Vice Commander Hong won’t care about the lives of these hyenas, right?”

Hong Zhijun admitted that he was tempted when Wu Yan mentioned casualties.

Although it would not be a big problem to turn back now and give up on this mission…

Hong Zhijun thought that since this was his first field mission after being transferred here, he could not give up halfway.

“Alright, I’ll immediately arrange for someone to issue the mission.”

Seeing Hong Zhijun agree, Wu Yan smiled.

After seeing Hong Zhijun arrange for someone, Wu Yan also returned to his car and instructed one of his subordinates,

“Get them to scatter and mix into the mercenary team. It’s best if you can see if you can capture some of those vine people alive.”

The subordinate nodded and slowly disappeared from the car.

…

Actually, he had also had a chance to capture it alive when he went to investigate previously.

However, Wu Yan was afraid that Hong Zhijun would discover it, so he asked his two subordinates to restrain themselves.

After all, rather than doing it secretly, it was better to directly capture them alive openly. At that time, it would not be a problem for him to be discovered.

Wasn’t it normal for mercenaries to be curious about such rare mutated beasts?

At around one in the afternoon, in the Battle Axe Mercenary Group’s base, Iron Axe, Wang Zhen, and Zhou Wenjie were counting the missions gathered by their subordinates.

“Why are they all catching mutated beasts?”

“Those old men in the city like to watch mutated beasts so much. Why don’t they just buy a beast to raise?”

“In any case, they don’t lack money.”

Looking at these identical missions, Iron Axe threw the communicator in his hand on the table in boredom.

Scarface Zhou Wenjie stroked a gray cloud at the side and said indifferently,

“Don’t be discontented.”

“It’s not bad to have missions these days.”

“On the bright side, those masters are generous. Moreover, there’s not much danger in such a mission, right?”

With that said, Zhou Wenjie took out a level two crystal core from his pocket and handed it to the middle of the gray clouds.

After a while, the crystal core that was still shining previously turned into powder in Zhou Wenjie’s hand.

Wang Zhen, who was sitting at the main seat, could not help but rub his eyebrows.

Although they had earned a lot when they were mercenaries a few years ago and the Human Alliance would also issue many missions every year when the beast tide erupted, the beast tide had yet to arrive ~

He could not always rely on these small jobs to live, right?

Just as the three of them were worrying, they saw a mercenary suddenly run in in a panic.

“Team Leader, it’s time to work. Big work!”

Wang Zhen and the others were slightly shocked.

“Tell me, what mission is it?”

The mercenary nodded and took a deep breath.

“It’s the army. They have a mission that requires high-level combatants to clear an area 20 kilometers away.”

“The price is very high. Moreover, the spoils of war can be divided among ourselves.

Hearing this, the three of their eyes lit up slightly.

The cost of hiring mercenaries was secondary. It was more attractive if they distributed the spoils of war to them.

Previously, the missions to capture mutated beasts only provided payment to the mercenaries. There were basically no spoils of war.

After all, most of the items in the surrounding ten kilometers had been plundered and there was nothing valuable left.

However, very few people stepped into a place 20 kilometers away.

At the very least, there would be many things to consider.

Taking ten thousand steps back, even if they didn’t have much gains, if one could obtain two level four or five mutated beasts, it would still be a pure profit ~

After all, high-level crystal cores were still very valuable.

Didn’t they see that merchants who collected crystal cores had been running more frequently recently?
