I failed the college entrance examination, so I can only become a mercenary

Chapter 12 Back on the Boat

Hearing this, Lin Feng subconsciously glanced at Harber. Although the other party was also wearing a mask at this time, he could still see him glaring at Zhou Yulin, and he couldn't help but find it a little funny.

"There are certainly benefits to joining the Mask Corps."

"First of all, we won't restrict your freedom. As long as you don't refuse when there is a mission, we won't interfere with what you want to do at other times."

"Secondly, as long as you wear the mask, you have the command of the Wolf Alpha mercenary group. All Wolf Alpha mercenaries must obey your command. If someone disobeys, you can do whatever you want. Don't do anything that will damage the dignity of the mask."

Zhou Yulin stopped talking and looked at Lin Feng. Lin Feng also looked at him eagerly and asked, "That's all?"

"No more." Zhou Yulin nodded.

Lin Feng pondered for a moment and then asked, "I want to ask why you chose me to be one of you? I don't seem to be anything special."

He knew that Zhou Yulin knew his information. On the surface, he was just a young man who went out to sea as a mercenary after failing the college entrance examination. Why would the other party give him such an identity?
This doesn't make sense.

"It's very simple, because there are only ten people in the Mask Legion. Only when the previous Mask dies will another Smiley Face take over. And you are very lucky. The previous Smiley Face died three months ago, and you successfully got the Smiley Face Mask, so you are the Smiley Face." Zhou Yulin explained.

Lin Feng was a little surprised. He had heard about the Wolf Mercenary Group, which had nearly a thousand mercenaries. However, the top leadership consisted of only ten people. This was simply unbelievable and he couldn't help but fall into deep thought again.

Neither Zhou Yulin nor Haber disturbed him, but just waited quietly for Lin Feng's answer.

"I have another question." Lin Feng suddenly asked again.

"explain."

"I want to know what the ten masks are. Are there any differences in strength or status among them?"

"You will know what the ten masks are in the future. I don't want to explain too much. As for whether there is a difference in strength or weakness, I don't know."

Before Zhou Yulin could finish his words, Harber interrupted him and spoke in not very fluent Chinese.

"Actually, one thing Crying Face said just now is inaccurate. The only other thing a Mask can do is die. If he fails to meet the standards in the assessment that happens every three years, he will be dismissed from his Mask status."

"How is it inaccurate? Is there any difference between removing the masked identity and death?" Zhou Yulin shrugged.

"Of course, forget it. I don't want to argue with you," Harber shook his head and looked at Lin Feng and said, "The assessment every three years is the time to judge the strength and status of the mask. You will know the specific assessment items at that time."

After listening to what the two said, Lin Feng almost understood something. The Mask Legion is also an organization that practices survival of the fittest.

The weak will be eliminated, and the consequence of being eliminated is just one word: death!

Come to think of it, the ten masks are the real leaders of the Wolf Mercenary Group. If they were all weaklings, how could they possibly convince others?

Now that he had understood most of it, Lin Feng felt that there was nothing wrong with joining the Masked Mercenaries, as it did not conflict with his goal of becoming a mercenary.

Without further questions, he picked up the mask and put it on his head.

Seeing his actions, Zhou Yulin and Haber smiled at each other.

"You'll be glad for your choice today," Harber said, bringing out three glasses of wine.

Zhou Yulin was relatively more generous, laughing as he took off his mask and drank the wine in the glass. Similarly, Lin Feng also finished the wine in the glass. After this glass of wine, he was considered a mercenary, but the rewards for the main task of the system would not be issued until he arrived in North Africa and registered.

The ancient Bajiquan of the side quest has been given to him. Lin Feng only felt that there was a lot of knowledge in his mind that he had never been exposed to before. In an instant, he felt that he had become a legendary martial arts master.

"Huh!" Lin Feng let out a long breath, a smile appeared on his face, he looked at the drunks around him and said, "Are they really fainted? Is anyone pretending to be fainted?"

"Don't worry, no one can pretend to be unconscious in Harber's hands," Zhou Yulin shrugged and looked at his watch and said, "It's almost time, we should go back."

After saying this, he was about to get up and leave, but just as he stood up, he was stopped by Haber.

"What?!" Zhou Yulin asked.

Harber didn't answer, but just glanced around the tavern.

"Fuck, you're not going to ask me to pay you, are you?" Zhou Yulin desperately pulled his arm back and shouted, "I did this so that Lin Feng could successfully complete the mission and enter the mask. I don't have the money to pay you!"

Harber smiled and said, "It's ok if you don't want to compensate me. Then let Lin Feng go to North Africa by himself, and you stay here to be my waiter."

Lin Feng, who was standing aside, watched their affairs with his eyes and nose, not wanting to get involved in what was going on between them.

Soon, Lin Feng and Zhou Yulin, who looked painful, walked out of the tavern.

"This damn Harber actually took advantage of me. Fortunately, I had a trick up my sleeve, otherwise I would have to pay for my pants today." Zhou Yulin said while cursing.

Keeping a trick?
Lin Feng was a little confused, and then he suddenly remembered what Zhou Yulin said on the deck three days ago, and asked: "Will I get paid for completing this task?"

Zhou Yulin's expression froze, and he denied it flatly: "No, this task is not difficult, where would the money come from?"

"I was definitely cheated by him!" Looking at Zhou Yulin's expression, Lin Feng cursed in his heart, but he didn't care much.

My gain this time is not small. I even have a million-dollar pendant in my pocket. I will give him the money for completing the task.

Anyway, he knew that even with Zhou Yulin's thick skin like a city wall, he would never admit it, so why bother himself?

Then the two of them reboarded the Santa Maria. As soon as Lin Feng got on board the Santa Maria, he felt the cool sea breeze, which was as refreshing as suddenly entering an air-conditioned room on a hot summer day.

The Santa Maria started again after the sun set. The starry sky above the sea was extremely beautiful. Lin Feng and Zhou Yulin stood on the deck and looked up at the bright starry sky.

"We will arrive in the Pacific Ocean tomorrow. We must be careful there." Zhou Yulin suddenly said.

Lin Feng nodded. These days, from the records in the book "Adventures on the High Seas", he knew that there were many pirates in the Pacific Ocean who survived by robbing cruise ships.

A behemoth like the Santa Maria is a hot commodity in the eyes of some powerful pirates.

"But it's okay. The ship's self-defense capability is still good. As long as the most powerful pirate groups don't come, it won't be a problem." Zhou Yulin said again.

Hearing this, Lin Feng's eyes suddenly became strange. For some reason, he suddenly felt that he had to be extremely careful tomorrow.
