A strange and sour feeling climbed up Chen Fang's heart. It seemed that when he joined, he had never seen Linni laugh. He was sharing joy with him...

When I learned that the guy was using a striking mecha, the strange feeling was slightly relieved. Yes, the mercenary group urgently needed a striking mecha. When Chen Fang defined his new teammate as a striking mecha, not a single person, his mentality gradually returned to balance.

"Let's rush back to the Mercenary Association immediately." Although it was still cold, Linni's anxiety was fully revealed.

"Don't you need to be so enthusiastic, right? You're going to pick up someone?" Chen Fang questioned. The difference was too obvious.

Linni gave him helplessly: "It's hard to wait for a powerful mecha. I'll ask in advance to help delay it. If I go late, I might be snatched away by another mercenary group. And if I want this person, I have to see it first. Things have not been decided. Could it be that I can come to Kadolan for an interview? But it's strange that the person actually took the initiative to inquire about our mercenary group."

After all, isn’t the strong attack mechas available for special treatment? But then again, the strong attack mechas are indeed the king of the mechas, the killing machine, the soul of the team, and there is even an extreme saying that a good team is to cooperate with the strong attack mechas as much as possible to release damage.

In the lobby of the Mercenary Association, a familiar figure made Chen Fang a little dazed.

"Hello, my name is Lai Ao." The Golden Lion maintained his usual smile. This smile fascinated thousands of girls, but unfortunately Lin Ni ignored it directly. Like Chen Fang, although he deliberately concealed his identity, he did not change his name or his surname. Except for a few noble children, few people knew his name, and it didn't matter whether he changed it or not.

"Are you driving the striking mecha?"

Linni glanced at Lai Ao's body shape, which was a perfect combination of strength and flexibility. There was not much suspense. With such a physique but without choosing to attack the mecha, that person would definitely be a fool.

Lai Ao admitted it with certainty.

Linni continued to ask, “How do you think you are doing with mechas?”

"It's still acceptable." Under Chen Fang's strong gaze, Lai Ao's self-confidence was seriously insufficient.

"Mercenary is a team profession that requires tacit understanding. If your skills are just acceptable, why should your teammates entrust your lives to you?" Linni does not like teammates who lack confidence. Considering the difficulty of finding a strong attack mecha, she has already made plans to train newcomers. It is not difficult for the current team to train a newcomer. The key is whether the newcomer has the potential to be cultivated.

Lai Ao reacted slowly, and immediately woke up and said excitedly with an almost oath: "I know that no matter how brilliant the record is, it is not worth showing off in the world of mercenaries. However, I am definitely the one who deserves my teammates' life. Similarly, I am willing to entrust my life to my teammates. As for my skills, I am willing to accept your test."

The strong tone, coupled with the special temperament of the nobles, and the extraordinary sensational effect immediately changed Linni's view of him: "There is a certain assessment, and you don't have to worry too much. You are still a novice and have never received physical strengthening and skill training from the Mercenary Association. You should not have too high requirements for you."

It seems to be too low... No matter how you hear this, it means letting go. Before Chen Fang interrupted, he heard Lai Ao say: "Please rest assured. Before joining the mercenary, I received physical strengthening and skill training elsewhere. I can immediately join the battle and will never become a burden to the team."

Chen Fang is now an old man from the mercenary group. He asked with a serious and responsible attitude towards the team: "I have strengthened it once, and I can't see the effect at the moment. Why don't you let me try him? If you can defeat me, let him join."

The golden lion looked bitter in the blink of an eye. Taking advantage of the ignorance of others, he begged for mercy to Chen Fang. If Chen Fang had the intention to make him look ugly, he would probably have ended his pitiful skills before he could be used.

Linni hesitated and said, "Compet with you, Lai Ao's winning odds are probably not big, and the winning or losing cannot be used as the assessment criteria. Besides, your double-gun killing is too sharp. I want to see his true level, so I'll try him personally."

Lai Ao's face looked a little better.

Chen Fang insisted: "Then I don't have to grab it twice. I will compete with him with bare hands. Is this OK?"

"No!" Lai Ao shouted on the spot. The two guns may not be so sharp. I only experienced it not long ago. At best, it was Chen Fang's trick to play with it temporarily. His bare hands are the butcher's signature. Based on past experience, it would be a matter of momentary destruction.

"Why?" Linni couldn't help but feel funny. She was a powerful attack mecha and said that she should not be afraid of throwing away the double guns.

"Can I talk to your teammates in private? Your teammates seem to have some prejudice against me." Lai Ao thought about it again and again. No matter what weapon Chen Fang uses, he would never have a chance of winning, and he would definitely lose in a very embarrassing way, which would be better than Daoming's difficulties.

"You guys do whatever you want." Linni didn't think much about it and pulled the fat lady to the distance.

There was no one around, and the lion immediately turned into a kitten: "I am not your opponent, at least let my brother go!"

After all, he is a brother, Chen Fang felt a little reluctant: "Let you go? You are not in the Imperial Academy, why are you here to be a mercenary? Have you leaked my whereabouts?"

Lai Ao complained, "Where is the conscience of heaven and earth? I rushed to your house as soon as you left that day. Your grandfather threatened and tempted me. I have never said anything except the news of your safety."

"What then?" Chen Fang still knew the lion, and he could not lie to him.

Recalling the scene at that time, the lion is still trembling: "You don't know how scary it was at that time. Your grandfather had a sinister face and asked me to consider my future and the fate of my family. I survived it."

Chen Fang couldn't help but feel a little worried about him and his family: "Then..."

"Later, your grandfather suddenly smiled. He said, "You must be loyal to your brothers. Then, he no longer asked about your whereabouts and asked me to come to you. This cannot be called selling you. Who dares not to listen to your grandfather's order?"

Although it is a bit far-fetched, the lion really has no choice.

My grandfather's temper was so angry that he ignored Lai Ao's inability to complete his mission. If his orders were not implemented, someone would be unlucky. This move was very clever, and Chen Fang had no choice but to compromise.

"What should you do if you stay here with me? You don't have to complete your Imperial University?"

Huang Jin said guiltily: "He wants me to see your situation. If your illness is indeed cured, you don't have to go back immediately. You can do what you want, but you must go to Imperial College. You can arrange the time yourself. This is his bottom line."

Since he recovered from his illness, Chen Fang would have to be like other Chen's children, at least to pursue a higher vocational career in politics or military circles, so that he would be able to contribute to the family in the future. The degree from Imperial College is an admission ticket to join the Game of Thrones. In fact, the family's expectations for him are more than that? Perhaps in the heart of his grandfather at this moment, he left home this time to give him a small vacation.

The test of Lai Ao is positioned for the next battle. In Linni's words, fighting is the best way to test newcomers. In fact, it is to let go of water. The test is invisibly cancelled. As long as you perform well in the battle, Lai Ao can continue to stay in the team.

Linni also has difficulties. The current team urgently needs to attack the mecha, so there is no need to delay any further. Then, the choice of newcomers is extremely limited. Lai Ao also chose the classic among civilian mechas, Wolf Warrior, and his weapon chose the usual long sword. The appearance is not as cool as the ion long sword, but its power is almost the same.

After twenty-seven days of rest, a giant cargo ship filled with crystal oil set off from Kadolan.

"Tell us what the aristocratic banquet is like?"

There are countless times when Pili Bee asked. He was curious about the strange world, but Chen Fang's answer remained unchanged and there is nothing to tell!

At this time, the thunder bee that hits a nail will whisper to the fire bull and make all kinds of outrageous guesses. Their imagination is pitiful and vulgar. After all, it is just fine wine and women. Chen Fang really can't bear to tell them that their guesses are true...

It was a pre-determined banquet, and there would be any or not. Old William's host just sent an extra invitation.

Hidden behind the banquet is an extremely unfair negotiation. They want to cooperate in trafficking crystal oil. They are unwilling to take risks. They want to share half of the profits. This is the condition proposed by the other party and they do not accept bargaining.

From another perspective, this is a fair deal. Refineries are the only place where they can buy crystal oil. Only by cooperating with them can they ensure that the business will continue to operate for a long time. Otherwise, they can find others to cooperate at any time. Moreover, listening to the other party’s meaning and unintentional search for other partners is also a bit of comfort in helplessness. More importantly, cooperating with them can bring benefits from other aspects.

There is no doubt that even if the Shen family gave up profits, they would not miss the opportunity to curry favor with the superior nobles. Chen Fang accepted all the conditions on behalf of them, and Shen Jun was recognized by the family again.

These transactions have little to do with the mercenary group, but the cargo ship is slightly larger and transports more crystal oil, which is almost twelve times the previous time. Correspondingly, the commission was also rich, and a seven-man team composed of hiring a fourth-level mercenary is still rich.

In addition, the mercenary group can still get half of the extra income. Chardes will only welcome a cargo ship for two weeks, and the price fluctuates amazingly. What price can be sold depends on the market at that time and the level of the sellers.

Although he was in the limelight in the Imperial Academy and the virtual confrontation system, Lai Ao rarely comes into contact with real mechas. The occasional times are either at the repair station or the visit organized by the academy. It is rare to have the opportunity to drive, let alone fight. The unknown journey makes him feel novel, and at the same time he is a little nervous, and more excited.

Fighting side by side is the dream of both of them, but they both know that the chance of realizing this dream is very slim.

When the dream was about to become a reality, Lai Ao's voice choked: "Brother, we can finally fight together!"

Chen Fang also sighed: "You probably didn't expect that we would fight in such an environment, right?"

Lai Ao thought for a while and said, "I have thought about fighting for the empire and joining the anti-terrorism legion of the Federation. I just didn't expect to join the mercenaries. It doesn't matter. As long as we two brothers are together, no matter why he fights."
