Although Fangzheng agreed to Hu Tao's request, it was, strictly speaking, a very difficult thing to do. Like everyone else, establishing a mercenary group required a Star Mark ID. Of course, Fangzheng could not use his own ID, because the reason he established this mercenary group was to gather intelligence privately. If he used his own Star Mark ID, wouldn't that be equivalent to a confession?
But Hu Tao and Kuang San were unregistered residents, so they did not have any Star Mark ID. This might have been a problem in the past, but now that Kuang San was here, it was not a problem at all.
Kuang San's solution was simple and crude. She directly activated the angel "Pollyanna", walked into the Mercenary Association and told them, "We don't have any ID, but we want to establish a mercenary group. What do you think we should do?"
Kuang San had a second angel, "Pollyanna". Once she infused her voice with spiritual energy, ordinary people without spiritual energy could not refuse her request. As a result, the whole Mercenary Association was thrown into chaos by her. In the end, they really came up with a solution. It just so happened that a group of one man and two women in the Mercenary Association had failed a mission and died, and the mercenary group they established had not yet been dissolved. If Kuang San did not mind, she could directly replace them.
As for the name of the mercenary group... they just needed to change it a little.
Neither Kuang San nor Hu Tao had any objections. If there was anything wrong with it, it was that they had to use the mercenary nameplate of a dead person. Kuang San expressed that he was calm about it, and Hu Tao was a dead person.
"If you were here, I wouldn't have to go through so much trouble...."
Fangzheng was speechless when he saw how easily Kuang San solved the problem of identity. If he had Kuang San's ability, he would not have gone through so much trouble and even went to the Holy Cathedral.... Sigh, it's too late to regret now.
"Then, the next step is to take over the mission.... Hu Tao, I'll leave it to you."
"Alright, leave it to me!"
Hearing Fangzheng's words, Hu Tao patted her chest excitedly and ran to the Mercenary Association's bulletin board. Fangzheng, on the other hand, stood quietly in the distance, watching Hu Tao jumping around the noticeboard in silence.
"Is this really okay? Let Miss Hu Tao be the leader? "
At this moment, Kuang San also walked to Fangzheng's side and asked curiously. Fangzheng just shrugged his shoulders.
"What can I do? You don't want to do it, and I don't have time. Since Hu Tao is willing, let her do it. But I'll be going with you for this mission. At the very least, I want to see if Hu Tao can adapt …. "
Fangzheng looked at Hu Tao and the corners of his lips curled up.
"…. After all, this is reality, not a game. I believe it won't be long before she understands that the game and reality are completely different. "
Just as Fangzheng said, it didn't take long for Hu Tao to come back dejectedly. She had her eyes on a mission to explore a ruin, but when Hu Tao excitedly came to the association's counter with the letter of entrustment, she was told that they were only the lowest-level Bronze mercenaries, and this was a Silver mission. At the same time, they also required the mercenary group to have no less than ten people. So, Hu Tao's mission was mercilessly rejected.
When Hu Tao returned to the noticeboard, she found that the missions posted on it had basically all been taken away. Only the lowest-level missions were left, such as exterminating cockroaches in the sewers or expelling goblins …. In Hu Tao's eyes, these missions were not "challenging" at all.
"So, what kind of mission did you accept?"
Seeing how listless Hu Tao looked, Fangzheng only smiled faintly and asked, "What's the matter? Hu Tao, on the other hand, handed over the letter of entrustment with a gloomy face.
"This is the only one left …."
"This is …."
Fangzheng took it and flipped through it. It was a clean-up mission. The gist of it was that there were some highly poisonous lizards wandering in the wild swamps and had attacked many caravans and merchants. Therefore, this mission was issued in the hope that mercenaries could go and eliminate these poisonous lizards …. Well, this was indeed a very boring and unchallenging job. No wonder Hu Tao looked gloomy.
"This is the daily life of a mercenary. Do you think it's the same as in the game?"
Fangzheng smiled and returned the letter of entrustment to Hu Tao.
"Then, let's go."
Hu Tao was still a high school student after all. Not long after they left the city, her mood had already recovered. She hummed a song as she walked in front, looking quite relaxed.
"Miss Hu Tao? You seem to be in a good mood? "
Kuang San looked at Hu Tao with a smile and asked. Hu Tao nodded.
"Of course, I've thought it through. Isn't this the same as doing daily missions in the game? I can accept it. Besides, the scenery outside is so beautiful. We can kill monsters and enjoy the scenery at the same time. Just treat it as an outing. Isn't that fun? "
Hmm ….
Fangzheng silently glanced at Hu Tao's back without saying a word.
As expected of a spoiled city girl. Perhaps she still doesn't know what the so-called "wild swamps" are …. I wonder if she can still smile when she arrives at the mission location.
In fact, just as Fangzheng guessed, when Hu Tao arrived at the wild swamps, the smile on her face was completely gone.
In front of them was a muddy and dirty swamp. There were only a few lonely dead trees in the surroundings. The stench of decay assaulted their nostrils, giving them the feeling that they had come to a garbage dump. In the muddy swamp, they could also see some animal carcasses that had not completely rotted ….
Inside, a few venomous lizards that were even larger than crocodiles were rolling around in the mud leisurely and contentedly, looking very relaxed and contented.
"Okay, my mission is done. I'll leave the rest to you."
Fangzheng said he would not interfere. He just cast a few level-3 defensive spells on Hu Tao and Kuang San, then decisively retreated to the side to watch the show.
"Ugh …."
Hu Tao held the shovel and looked at the swamp in front of her with a troubled expression. She then looked at the brand-new leather armour on her …. Finally, she gritted her teeth and stepped into the swamp.
The next moment, she sank into the swamp with a splash.
"Huh? This is? Wait, this is the Bottomless Swamp? "
Hu Tao was shocked to see her body submerged in an instant.
"Sister Kuang San, save me!"
While shouting at Kuang San, Hu Tao waved her hands desperately. But she did not notice that the highly poisonous lizards had been attracted by Hu Tao and had turned their heads to look at her. Then, the swamp behind Hu Tao suddenly swelled up. A highly poisonous lizard emerged from it and bit Hu Tao's head. The next moment, it dragged Hu Tao into the depths of the Bottomless Swamp and disappeared without a trace.
"…."
Hui Fei, Xu Ze, Hu Tao's mercenary journey ended as soon as it began.
