Chapter 06 does not mention the long-distance travel trial as agreed
It is not the first time Wang Qi has dealt with him, so the request not to speak is to prevent others with the means to pay from learning to incur debts as well. At that time, if one does not agree, it would be difficult to justify, hence the consistent requirement for confidentiality regarding debts.
This is also his reason for rejecting the Free Mercenary Guild. Compared to other top 100 mercenary guilds in the universe, the Free Mercenary Guild is relatively more lenient; however, given its large scale, it has numerous internal rules and regulations, making it difficult to emphasize personal connections.
Wang Qi has long maintained a monopoly
Many retired mercenaries from Gulong Village have advised him that the most important first step in the mercenary profession is to choose the right guild
Mercenary guilds that are not authorized by the Empire of the location are not permitted to accept commissions. There is no need for special oversight from the Empire; all competitors—other mercenary guilds—act as overseers. Once an unauthorized guild organization is discovered, it will be immediately eradicated by other mercenary guilds in the area.
A quarter of an hour later, a group of people was panting with exhaustion, yet the door to the guest room remained tightly shut, with no sounds coming from inside
These are all people known to Wang Qi, and he is basically familiar with their personalities and abilities. It hardly takes much time, not even two hours, to send off those who have gradually arrived.
The person held in his hand, with slightly red eyes, looked gratefully at Wang Qi and said: "Brother Wang! Someone wants me to return the money to you immediately! If it really happens, you must look for me when you pass by in the future! This is the fourth time you have helped me..."
Cut it out! What do you think, beauty can't eat! Look at me—Wang Qi! A business opportunity has come knocking—get up quickly! It's a big deal!
A man leaning against the railing on the second floor did not come down until everyone else had left. Before he could speak, Wang Qi smiled and asked, "Are you in debt first?"
Money? ... Beautiful women? ... ... Useless! None of these can bring an echo from behind the door
"What good is shouting like this! Look at me—Wang Qi! Get up quickly, there is a beautiful woman specifically looking for you!"
"A trivial matter." After Wang Qi saw him off, he collected the money and returned upstairs to continue sleeping alone
The street outside the inn is sparsely populated, and at this hour, those who are not asleep are mostly engaged in lively activities in the nightlife venues
I have arrived! I have three questions: which has the most potential for development and opportunities for entry; which has many beautiful women and opportunities for entry; and which has the highest likelihood of success through trials
At that moment, someone on the first floor of the inn was shouting at the top of their lungs, saying: "Wang Qi has returned, line up to buy, do not rush!"
Your appearance is rather casual, and while you may not be exceptionally proactive in serious matters, you certainly do not lag behind others. Look, the leader of this mercenary group is not particular about details and does not care much for polite behavior. The leader enjoys good wine, and your personalities are compatible. When you go, take a small flask with you, as you can drink anyway. I believe it is most suitable for you to follow him, and the chances of success are very high.
From the scattered population of mercenary guilds in the trial area, it is known that the trial area will be fully prepared in about three days, and some mercenary guilds will begin recruiting tomorrow
Wang Qi, Wang Qi—don't sleep anymore, it's time to get up!
The person nodded slightly, feeling a bit embarrassed, and said: "Brother Wang, you know my family situation. My family has tried every means to gather over 300 yuan for the long-distance trial. If I can quickly find a mercenary group to take me, I will pay you back immediately!" After saying this, he hurriedly added: "Brother Wang, rest assured! I know the rules; I will never disclose the matter of debts to anyone, otherwise, I will repay tenfold!"
At noon, the door of the guest room was knocked on with a loud thud
Immediately, bursts of laughter erupted.
When the night was dimly lit, Wang Qi woke up
The underachievers can only secretly express their astonishment; among this group, only Wang Qi can come up with this much, while the others have at best one or two thousand, and the less fortunate ones probably only have a few hundred
Oh heavens! What should someone like me, who suffers from choice anxiety, do? Should I choose a future or a beautiful woman?" That person exclaimed dramatically as they walked away
Looking out at the starry sky, he silently hoped: "I hope to find a suitable union while gathering information tonight"
"What kind of loser has money to buy you a drink! Would you drink a bottle of loser tears that costs 5 yuan?" The loser grinned and walked away, not needing to wait for Wang Qi's response
Everyone quickly found the guesthouse arranged by the academy to check in. As the first academy of the Neutral Star System, the guesthouse arranged is also one of the best on the Departure Star
Collecting information about various mercenary guilds in the trial area to sell to others for profit is secondary; finding a suitable guild to join and establish his own mercenary group is more important in this process
I will treat you to roasted sweet potatoes! The underachiever will be very happy
The third person eagerly handed over the money
After Wang Qi woke up, he went out again. During lunch, he invited the mercenaries from the training area to eat, gathering a considerable amount of information.
In an instant, a group of people stared at each other in astonishment
At this moment, those familiar with his style had already prepared the money. In the past, he single-handedly managed all the information regarding major and minor exams, as well as special events at the academy. Others wished to learn from him, but they did not have as many channels for information. Those who did have such channels lacked the sufficient capital for initial investments and resources. The only ones who possessed both were the wealthy and attractive individuals at the academy, who were not inclined to engage in this business.
Wang Qi's dream is to travel as far as possible, ideally to find a mercenary guild that possesses the authority to operate across multiple imperial territories, while also being relatively humane and not strictly adhering to rigid rules. This is not easy to find; most of the mercenary guilds that meet these criteria are those that once thrived but have now fallen into decline.
Wang Qi placed his personal belongings in the guest room and, looking through the window, was quite taken with the lush greenery of the garden behind the inn. However, they were not here to enjoy a vacation, and the accommodation booked by the academy was for a duration of ten days
I rely on... pigs, pigs ahhh
But they had no time to spare, fearing they would fall behind, and jumped over the railing.
A group of people knocking on the door and shouting for a long time feels an impulse to slap themselves in the face
Earn more, huh... Never mind, you know my situation anyway. As a loser, one must have two plans—first, ask about the most promising option, and then inquire about the one with the highest success rate in trials.
Wang Qi chuckled nonchalantly and said, "If you want a cheaper price, just wait a few days. This kind of information has a time sensitivity; the earlier you get it, the more expensive it is, and the later it gets, the cheaper it becomes. Do you think it's expensive? Have you considered that those seasoned mercenaries are not easy to deal with? They have already consumed over 8,000 yuan worth of food and drink!"
Wang Qi was aware that he was not sensitive to the names of the Mercenary Guild. He wrote down six names on paper in order of likelihood, handed it over, and said: "The likelihood increases in order, and the distance from your hometown city also grows, but they are all guilds operating on your home planet."
After a cold night, everyone is eager to quickly reach the guesthouse arranged by the academy to sleep soundly
The person who pushed him replied with a grin: "It's just that you've transformed from a loser president into a loser mercenary at hetushu.com..."
Wang Qi separately learned about the situations of these unions and then returned to his room for a nap
Could you be more generous and treat me to a drink
Before Wang Qi could respond, many people yawned and shouted, "I don't care anymore! If I don't sleep soon, it would be better to kill me!"
The establishment of any mercenary guild in any race or galaxy requires the permission of the empire in which it is located. Unless there are reliable and dependable background connections, the usual approach is to operate as a mercenary group for a certain period of time or to accumulate a certain level of reputation through completed missions before being able to apply.
The Tianyi Mercenary Corps is quite disciplined, with an ambitious president and responsible leaders among the recruits. Those who demonstrate enthusiasm and determination in their efforts, as well as a keen attention to detail, have a good chance of success. The flourishing Mercenary Guild has a president and key leaders who are both beautiful, and its activities are conducted under the auspices of the Family Empire within the range of the Moon Viewing Star. They prefer male and female members who are passionate and sincere, making you a suitable candidate. The Forward March New Mercenary Association offers decent benefits, and based on your personality traits, passing the trial conditions is virtually assured.
In today's cosmic era, establishing a mercenary group is relatively simple as long as the deposit is sufficient, but creating one's own mercenary guild is not an easy task
The club president yawned and asked Wang Qi: "Should we grit our teeth and persist in selecting a good union trial, or should we take a nap and discuss it later"
The loser president had long been accustomed to it, chuckling to himself as he walked away
You might as well drink it all by yourself until you grow old! Hurry up and get lost, don't waste time—those at the back are afraid that the loser will walk slowly, and they even push from behind.
It was learned that Wang Qi and his group, unexpectedly arriving soon, were all graduates of the First Academy, and a few members of the mercenary guild were very enthusiastic.
Currently, a considerable amount of information has been gathered from www.hetushu.com, but Wang Qi is not in a hurry to address it. He is conserving his energy, waiting for more graduates to arrive, as there will be little time to rest then
The term "loser’s tears" refers to the hope that a goddess will enter a hotel with a wealthy and handsome man, while the loser can only watch, bottling up their tears and drinking them with a bit of alcohol, wallowing in self-pity. It is a self-deprecating notion that the tears of a loser can only serve as a joke for the goddess, who might say to drink another sip, which, when calculated, is worth only five yuan.
Therefore, one can only start by establishing a mercenary group, and by paying a deposit to a certain mercenary guild in the form of a mercenary group, one will be able to engage in mercenary activities
Are you from the First Mercenary Academy? That's good to hear. I will go back and inform the president, and in the afternoon, I will have your classmates come over
I just want to ask about the easiest mercenary group to join, preferably one that is closer to my home planet
Fortunately, the second group of people from their academy has not yet arrived, and the individuals who are present are neatly lined up, occupying only one-fifth of the area of the lobby on the first floor of the inn.
As Wang Qi was about to cross the dimly lit corridor, someone emerged from the side.
Haha—today, once I join the mercenary group, I will no longer be a loser
Wang Qi, who was still not feeling sleepy, wandered around the trial area. The scene was indeed as he had speculated—cold and desolate, with very few people present. They had arrived too early. If it were not for the time-space portal provided by the Tiger Courage Mercenary Corps, the journey from the Jia Jia star system, which provided the cosmic navigation beasts for the trial, would have taken approximately one to five days.
The loser stood at the front, eagerly handing over one hundred yuan to Wang Qi, complaining, "Everyone is so broke, you are being too greedy!"
Hello, is Wang Qi possibly not in the room
We arrived too quickly; it is likely that the Mercenary Guild has not yet begun recruiting. Let's get a good night's sleep first! Wang Qi still seemed energetic, but the others were basically unable to hold on any longer
