Chapter 61: People who shouldn’t appear
The shuttle vibrated slightly and made a buzzing sound like an electric current. The speed quickly decreased and it soon entered the cruising state. Through the porthole, Xue Tong saw two beams of light appearing on both sides of the shuttle, forming a very special passage.
.
"It's the guiding beam." A attendant whispered behind Xue Tong. Xue Tong looked back and found that it was still the guy who led him.
"May I have your name."
"Jack. Sir, my name is Jack." The attendant replied in a low voice, and then secretly glanced at Hansel who was not far away. He said cautiously, "Sir, I look forward to serving you at any time. You can take me into the airport.
?”
"Can't you enter by yourself?" Xue Tong asked.
"No, sir. At least you can't enter at will." Jack replied quietly. "We are service personnel. If we want to enter the branch's airport, we must apply in advance and get permission. But this is not easy. Sir, if you are willing
The exception is if you ask me to be your follower. I am very familiar with airports and can be your tour guide."
"So that's it." Xue Tong nodded. It seems that the mercenary branch manages personnel very strictly. This is natural. After all, the space mercenary is a pure combat organization, and the branch is extremely important. If someone sneaks in secretly,
It would be a big trouble. Seeing that Jack had always served him wholeheartedly, Xue Tong planned to give the other party a chance.
"Okay." He patted Jack's shoulder gently. "You can just be my follower. During this period."
"Thank you, sir." Jack bent down gratefully. In fact, the position of follower sounds very ordinary, but for service personnel like them, it means a lot. Becoming a follower of a combatant represents an increase in status. You can also get many privileges. Feel free to do so.
Entering the airport is just one of them.
The only regret is that this identity is temporary. Jack secretly made up his mind to serve the potential of Xue Tong well, and it is best to become his real follower.
At this moment, Hansel also turned around "just in time", glanced at the two of them, and then showed an ugly smile to Xue Tong. "Not bad, I received a follower so quickly. Although it is temporary. It seems
Many people think highly of you."
"Thank you for taking care of me, sir." Xue Tong replied politely. He knew that this was Hansel's intention. With his hearing, it was impossible not to know what Jack had said to him just now. But he was still indifferent. This was indulgence. In fact
This shuttle boat belongs to him personally, and even the service personnel belong to him. Without his consent, who can leave even half a step?
"Okay. Don't be polite. Now go to your seat and fasten your seat belt. We are about to land." Hansel waved his hand nonchalantly, and then said to Xue Tong. "After entering the airport, I will give you the registration information.
You have to go with me. Then let Jack take you around. I think you need to adapt for a while. Then... you need to do a few tasks to make some money, and it's time to organize your own team.
"
"My own team?" Xue Tong repeated doubtfully. At the same time, he sat on the chair next to him and fastened his seat belt as Hansel said.
"Every mercenary has a team. Vassals are also available. There is information about many wandering warriors at the airport of each branch. They cannot become mercenaries for various reasons and rely on this to make a living. You can use stars
Hire them. Of course, a temporary team is cheap, but a fixed team is expensive." Servant Jack hurriedly explained. Now is the time for him to perform well.
Hansel gave him a satisfied look. Having a smart follower saves a lot of trouble and he can save a lot of time.
A vibration came from under the feet, and the speed of the shuttle was even slower. Xue Tong looked through the porthole and saw a huge steel fortress appearing in the vast starry sky. It floated quietly in front of the shuttle, with countless
The lights flickered. Among the thousands of holes on its body, countless spaceships walked back and forth like ants.
The airport for the mercenary branch has finally arrived...
This is the first time Xue Tong has seen such a huge man-made creation. Compared with the steel fortress in front of him, Kuster's fortress can only be regarded as a child's toy. It is really too big, almost bigger than a city.
The closer you get to it, the more intense the feeling of shock becomes. The shuttle that Xue Tong rides on is not even an ant in front of it. Under the guidance of the guidance beam, they quickly approach this behemoth, and then from
It was sucked in through a certain entrance below it.
As the shuttle entered the passage, Xue Tong felt his body sink, as if his hands and feet were tied with lead balls, which made him extremely uncomfortable.
"The artificial gravity at the airport is twice the normal standard. Sir, please be careful, it takes more physical effort to move here." Attendant Jack explained in time.
"Oh?" Xue Tong understood, and then gave Jack a strange look. "What about you? As service staff, can you adapt to this change?"
"We have special anti-gravity equipment." Jack replied. "This is exclusively for service personnel. Combatants are not allowed to use it. I'm sorry, sir, but I can't help you in this regard."
"It's not necessary." Xue Tong shook his head and turned his gaze outside the porthole.
Looking at the huge airport, his heart was up and down. Is this the beginning of a new life? The special gravity setting is to train the mercenaries' physical fitness at all times? But this method is indeed very effective. I just don't know if there is a special training place.
Maybe you should improve your strength, otherwise you will easily become a victim in this fiercely competitive environment.
The shuttle traveled through the passage and soon came to a huge suspended platform. Several special manipulators had quickly grabbed the shuttle and guided it to the platform.
The passage gate behind him began to close, followed by the shuttle hatch opening.
"Let's go out." Hansel took the lead and walked towards the passage, and Xue Tong immediately followed.
There were not many people on the platform, but when Hansel appeared, a man wearing a high-level attendant's uniform ran over immediately, showing Hansel a very respectful courtesy.
"Lord Hansel, welcome to Airport No. 58. Is there anything you need my service for?"
"I'm going to the branch. You can help me maintain the shuttle and supply supplies on the way." Hansel flicked over a shiny object with an expressionless face. The man immediately took it with joy. Then he bowed respectfully.
Lower your waist.
"Yes, sir. Everything will be as you wish."
"That's a star coin, a currency made from solid energy. It can be circulated in any world. It's extremely valuable." Attendant Jack stepped up behind Xue Tong and explained, while showing an envious look.
One star coin is enough for that guy to make a lot of money after replenishing his supplies. Lord Hansel is really generous.
Next, without waiting for Hansel to say hello, a drop-shaped floating speed car drove over and stopped in front of several people. Hansel snorted coldly, and got on it with Xue Tong and others.
There is no driver in the flying car. Only an intelligent brain is working. After a few people get on the car, it immediately levitates and flies towards another passage.
The speed of the suspended speed car was extremely fast and very stable. There was almost no vibration. It was the first time for Xue Tong to ride such a vehicle, and he was not only curious and excited. Attendant Jack immediately felt his feelings and did not bother him.
The carriage of the flying car is largely translucent, which allows Xue Tong to observe the roadside scenery extremely conveniently.
I saw them driving at high speed on a metal road, with neat rows of cabins on both sides. There were various patterns and unfamiliar words on them. It was obvious that these were some kind of functional buildings, but almost no pedestrians could be seen.
.
"We haven't entered the living area yet, sir. You will see pedestrians when you get to the living area." Noticing Xue Tong's confusion, the attendant Jack said hurriedly. "The airport of the mercenary branch is not only a mission distribution center, but also a mission distribution center.
It is also a market for the exchange of talents and goods. There is a huge flow of foreigners. You can buy any weapons and equipment here. But the price is high."
"I know." Xue Tong nodded, feeling a little confident. "If I want to buy something here, do I need star coins? How can I get them?"
"Yes, sir, any transaction requires star coins. But if the limit is low, you can use credit points. Credit points are exchanged for star coins. One star coin can be exchanged for a thousand credit points. As for star coins, you can
You get it by completing missions. Missions for space mercenaries are very rewarding." Jack answered, with an envious look in his eyes.
This is the benefit of combat personnel. Almost the entire airport is serving them. And in terms of remuneration, the service personnel can barely get a few star coins after working hard for a month. It is less than a fraction of what the combatants receive for one mission. It is really enviable to Jack.
The hovercraft quickly arrived at the target and stopped in front of a huge building. This was the mercenary branch, the most important building in the entire airport. There was a lot of people at the door, and Xue Tong saw several mercenaries wearing mercenaries at a glance.
The people he served. Without exception, these people gave him a feeling of extreme danger, as if they might be killed if they got closer. This feeling made his scalp numb, and his vigilance was raised to an extremely high level in an instant.
Hansel felt this way and looked back at Xue Tong. He said with a half-smile. "Don't be nervous, the mercenary branch is forbidden to do anything. They will not threaten you. But your reaction is good, which makes me more and more proud."
The more I look forward to it. Hahahaha..."
While laughing, Hansel got off the hover car and walked towards the branch door. Xue Tong hurriedly followed. But just as the two were about to walk into the door, Xue Tong suddenly widened his eyes and showed an incredible look.
He saw a person, a person who definitely shouldn't be here!
It was a man covered in bandages, like a mummy...
