In the small banquet hall.

The melodious music still echoed in the space. Twelve young girls in cool clothes finished dancing, bowed and retreated lightly.

"...Brother Qin, how do you like the taste of this Moutai?"

Ye Hanfeng, who was sitting at the head table, raised his wine glass towards Qin Feng and said enthusiastically: "This is a good thing dug out from the ruins of the old era. It is very rare. I don't even have a few bottles in stock here."

Qin Feng nodded, raised his wine glass in slight greeting, and then drank it all in one gulp. The maid next to him, dressed in gauze, immediately held a silver wine jug and filled him up with another glass.

Perhaps because of the good storage conditions, the taste of the wine really satisfied him. It could be said that it was the best drink he had tasted since he came to this world.

There is no doubt that in this era after the catastrophe of civilization, the quantity of such fine wine cannot be too much. It is a veritable top luxury product, and Ye Hanfeng is really willing to give it up.

But... if I can come up with some high-end drinks to sell, I believe I can get a lot of good things from those big shots, right?

The dishes on the table are not very rich. The main dishes are glutinous rice chicken, beef with potatoes, egg pancakes, and a few home-cooked side dishes. They are all precious ingredients that do not contain any radiation, and they taste pretty good.

In the main world, food that ordinary people can eat is here only high-level evolutionists like the city lord can enjoy it all the time. The quality of the daily rations of the humans in the outer city is higher than the animal feed in the main world.

More is worse than anything else.

Qin Feng politely thanked him. Ye Hanfeng had a good first impression on him. On the premise of ensuring that he would not suffer a loss, he might be able to help him in the future.

In the hall, in addition to Ye Hanfeng himself, six of his wives were present, plus five of his confidants, who were seated on both sides of the long oak dining table. This was the current ruling core of the Mastiff Dragon Base.

Qin Feng secretly observed that the fourth lady was not only outstandingly beautiful, but also had the highest level of cultivation, an eighth-level evolver. The rest of the people also had strengths ranging from fifth to eighth level, and they were considered famous outside.

A strong person with a surname can preside over a small base or a character in a settlement.

Ye Hanfeng himself is the strongest, already at level 10, but his aura is slightly scattered, which is obviously a sign of unstable foundation. Of course, his peak strength at level 9 can also guarantee that he will secure the throne of the supreme ruler of the Mastiff Dragon Base.

.

"Brother Qin Feng and I hit it off right away."

Ye Hanfeng put down his wine glass, looked at him with bright eyes, and said warmly: "That's why I entertained you so warmly today. Now, I believe Brother Qin will not deliberately deceive me. Can I ask where you are from?

A big force? For what reason?"

Qin Feng secretly laughed in his heart, this is the main topic of tonight's banquet. If he handles it improperly, he may be left here, and he will not be able to step out of the city lord's mansion in the future.

After thinking about it, he said seriously: "As for my origin, I really can't explain it to the Lord of Night City at present, because it is too weird and bizarre to explain. But one thing can be confirmed: I do not belong to any major force.

Dragon Base also does not have any bad intentions."

"Now I just take on some tasks, earn some resources to support myself, and get a long-term residence status in the inner city. I believe this will not affect the interests of the base, right?"

"If you are interested in it in the future, you may consider setting up a mercenary group for fun. Of course, it will not cause trouble to the base."

Obviously, Ye Hanfeng was not very satisfied with this answer. Of course, he did not show his displeasure on his face, he just said:

"If Brother Qin just has such a simple plan, how about coming to help me? The fifth team of the City Guards is currently expanding, and there is no suitable candidate for the captain yet, so why not leave it to you?"

"If you don't want to be restrained and want to build your own mercenary group, I can also provide a certain amount of support. As long as the Qin brothers can help counterattack when the base faces threats from foreign enemies."

Song Xueyao, who was standing next to him, smiled and said: "The planned establishment of the fifth team is one hundred people, and they will be equipped with all weapons and equipment. As long as you agree, these one hundred people will be under your command."

One hundred fully armed people, including a certain number of Evolved Persons, were already a considerable amount of combat power in this era. Qin Feng had now learned about the scale of the Mastiff Dragon Base, and the upper-class citizens who lived in the inner city had

There are more than 2,000 people, and they are the backbone of the base. The more than 30,000 people in the outer city live dependent on the inner city. Only a small number of people who are outstanding and have made sufficient contributions to the base have hope.

Obtain permission to live in the inner city.

In addition to the base, there are many small bases and settlements scattered in the surrounding area of ​​nearly 100 kilometers. They are all vassals of the Mastiff Dragon Base and provide it with various resources and services on weekdays in exchange for the military protection of this large base.

In this era of chaos and disorder, political systems such as countries no longer exist. They are replaced by companies, consortiums, base alliances, etc. of various sizes, ranging in size from hundreds to hundreds of thousands to millions.

Humans are the limit. As for the huge countries in the old days that often had tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of people, they will no longer exist.

The reason is very simple. Today's planet has limited surface resources and cannot support too many humans.

Therefore, a force like the Mastiff Dragon Base might only be equivalent to a town in the old era, with Ye Hanfeng serving as the mayor at best. But in this era, it is already a behemoth within a radius of hundreds of kilometers.

The armed force of hundreds of people is enough to ensure the survival of a medium-sized base. Now Qin Feng can get it without any sacrifice and just a promise, which shows Ye Hanfeng's sincerity.

Of course, he didn't want to be subject to too many constraints now, so after thinking for a while, he said: "Then I will choose the second option and form a mercenary team by myself. Of course, as long as the base and the city owner are in need, I will never stand idly by.

"

"Then, it's settled,"

Ye Hanfeng said: "You can recruit people in the outer city. The base will provide the required weapons, equipment and ammunition at a 30% discount, and will give you a station. In the future, your team can take on tasks in the union."

"In exchange, once the base faces a foreign enemy attack, you need to lead your people to fight."

"Very good, I have no objection." Qin Feng agreed.

The fourth lady immediately took out a paper agreement text. The various terms on it had already been drafted. After Qin Feng read it and found that there were no problems, he signed his name.

In this era, the effectiveness of agreements and contracts is actually better than nothing. In many cases, it is just a formality, but it is better than nothing.

Seeing Qin Feng sign, Ye Hanfeng breathed a sigh of relief.
