The Eternal World

This was exactly what was happening with the mercenaries in front of him.

If they didn't want to be a dog for others, they would have to compromise.

To establish a mercenary group here would normally require the help of a few poor commoners, thus the income one could earn would be quite meagre.

After all, large families all had cultivators more or less as servants and they had no use for this group of paupers.

However, there was one thing for sure. These people were a bit poor, and their lives were a bit difficult, but they all had backbone.

Zhang Chao did not dislike any of these people, and instead felt that they were kind of pleasing to the eye.

Located in the northwest corner of the town, there was only one compound. The fences inside were dilapidated, and these poor cultivators were currently sitting cross-legged in a few thatched huts, trying their best to use their meager resources to slowly raise their cultivation.

Brother Nan swaggered into the courtyard with Zhang Chao.

He was currently squatting in front of a stove and lighting a fire. When he saw Brother Nan enter, he hurriedly wiped the dust off his hands and squeezed out a smile, "Good morning, you two. What is your mission?"

"No!" Brother Nan shook his head and looked at the other party, "I want to meet your boss!"

"No?" The other party was stunned, but soon revealed an expression of disgust. He impatiently waved his hand and said, "If there's nothing else, then leave. This is not a place to fool around. Our boss is not someone you can easily meet!"

"And if so?" Brother Nan took out a crystal and threw it over.

This was an entire crystal!

It was at least worth a thousand crystal coin!

However, he clenched his teeth and quickly threw the crystal back to Brother Nan. With a determined tone, he said, "I'm sorry, you should take it back. Although we are poor, we are not rich enough to buy it!"

"Oh? This is for free. I just want to see your boss, you know? " Brother Nan raised his eyebrows in surprise.

"We used our own hard work to get money, so we have to be at ease with what we spend. Even if we are a bit poor, we have no complaints. If we accept this crystal, then how am I different from those pug who shake their tails at rich people?" The other party spoke with a sense of justice.

"Un, not bad indeed!" Zhang Chao smiled in appreciation.

Such upright cultivators were indeed rare in this chaotic world.

"Ai, I can't blame you all for being poor. This temper of yours is as hard and stinky as a rock in a latrine!" Brother Nan sighed, his words were extremely unpleasant to listen to.

"What did you say?" Hearing this, the other party's face immediately darkened, "Brat, don't think that just because you're rich that you're amazing. We are relying on our own efforts and our own sweat to earn money to cultivate resources. We are fully deserving of that!"

"If you are fine, please leave. If you are here to intentionally insult us, even if you are rich, we will never let you leave alive and well!"

"Rich people? Interesting, look at my clothes, do I look like a rich person? " Brother Nan asked as he shook his tattered clothes.

Brother Nan was telling the truth, he still did not have the time to change out of his tattered clothes.

It was also because he had unintentionally met Zhang Chao that he suddenly became rich.

"Then what are you doing here?" The other party frowned, "You can take out a complete gem without money. Are you trying to tease me?"

"I'm f * cking free!" Brother Nan snorted, he raised a finger and said: "Didn't I say it earlier? I'm here to discuss something with your boss! "

"Talking about things? What's there to talk about? " The other party was still puzzled.

Seeing that, Zhang Chao knew that the Brother Nan did not have much experience in this area. If this were to continue, he might really get into a situation where he was at a loss of what to do. He could only sigh, and opened his mouth to speak: "We are talking about a big deal!"

"Big deal?" The other party still did not believe him.

"That's right, it's a big deal. This piece of crystal is the deposit. Do you accept this kind of deal or not?" The Brother Nan said.

"What big deal? Just tell me! " The other party clearly didn't believe him.

"This business is very big, it involves the entire mercenary group, so I'm afraid you don't have the ability to make a decision!" Zhang Chao laughed and said, "Of course, if you think it's possible, we can talk to you!"

As he spoke, he signaled the Brother Nan with his hand.

Brother Nan immediately took out a storage bag, and directly pulled down the bag.

"Splash! Splash! Splash!" The mountains of crystals immediately piled up.

At a glance, there were at least a hundred of them!

"This... "This is …" The mercenary's body trembled and his eyes widened.

"This is only a part of it, a hundred crystals!" Brother Nan arrogantly said: "Other than this, there are also treasures and pills that only you can think of!"

"This... What do you want us to do? " The mercenary swallowed his saliva. Even in his life, he had probably never seen so many crystals before.

Moreover, they say that this is just a small part of it.

This … Where did this God of Fortune come from?

Moreover, he was more worried about the two old men in front of him. What did they want their mercenary group for?

With such a high price, the difficulty of the mission … Wouldn't that mean he had a narrow escape from death?

"You don't need to think too much into it. It's not as outrageous as you think!" Zhang Chao smiled and comforted them: "This time, can I invite your boss out for a chat?"

Dong … "Of course!" The mercenary hurriedly nodded.

"Well, I already know!" At this moment, a middle-aged man walked out from a thatched cottage to the side.

This middle-aged man was wearing a dilapidated armor, and his face and exposed body were also covered in scars.

Clearly, this person had gone through countless battles and was extremely experienced.

And from the waves of Origin Energy radiating from his body, his cultivation had also reached the peak of the transformational stage.

In this small town, he could be considered an expert.

It was precisely because of this person that the Enforcers and the families in the town didn't bother to look for trouble with the mercenaries.

"Boss!" The mercenary who was making things difficult for Zhang Chao and Brother Nan immediately cupped his hands and bowed towards.

"You are the leader of this group of mercenaries?" Seeing that, the Brother Nan raised his eyebrows.

"Mm, I'm the boss of this mercenary group. You can just call me Wang San!" The other party nodded his head in a low and muffled voice, then looked at the pile of crystals, his expression becoming even more serious: "Put it away first, let's talk inside!" After all, with so many crystals, it would be too ostentatious! "

"Alright!" Brother Nan once again put away the crystals and followed Zhang Chao into a thatched hut behind Wang San.

The furnishings inside the thatched cottage were very simple. There were only a few old chairs and a tea table.

"This place is rather simple and crude. Please forgive me. If you don't mind, please take a seat!" Wang San said politely.

Zhang Chao naturally did not mind, and immediately sat at the side.

Brother Nan looked at Zhang Chao, and after getting his approval, he sat opposite Wang San.

"Speak, what brings the two of you here?" Wang San went straight to the point.

"I feel that everyone is able to support themselves by themselves by becoming mercenaries. This kind of backbone is worthy of my admiration!" Brother Nan's eyes wandered for a bit, then he cupped his fists: "However, everyone is still alive, isn't it too tiring?!"

"Many thanks for your praise. This is our choice, and we are not willing to bow our heads to the powerful nobles!" Wang San sighed and said, "Just as you said, our family is indeed poor. Two esteemed guests have come, but we are unable to even provide a pot of tea!"

"That's not a problem!" Brother Nan shook his cheek, saliva flying out as he said: "Everyone, living this life is not easy, and furthermore, to us cultivators, it is even harder to survive in this world!"

"After all, we showed that we are much stronger than mortals. We have a longer lifespan and more power, but what about the other way around?"

"Those mortals, as long as they stutter, as long as they live to the point of natural death, they don't need to face too much pressure. It's only a few dozen years!"

"But we are different. What we eat is no longer of much use to us, but as cultivators, we need to constantly increase our strength. That is, to cultivate!"

"Cultivating requires a large amount of resources, and these resources …"

Speaking till here, Brother Nan revealed a sad look. After all, he had experienced a long period of time before, and now that he felt the same way, and remembered that his years of suffering had passed, he could not help but feel a little pain in his heart.

"You don't have to worry about resources. Living your entire life, don't you want to leave us cultivators unemployed?" "Boom! Boom! Boom!"

"At the very least, we want dignity. However, things like dignity are not given to you by others, but something that you fight for by relying on your own strength!"

"Now, the great Patriarch Golden Light, you have the guts to pity us! We have ideals and ambitions, but no luck! We can only blame our bad luck!"

Patriarch Golden Light wants to give us a chance, a chance to create a new world by relying on our own power. He wants to show those rich and heartless guys that we're not useless, that we're also people! As long as we have the chance, we're not any weaker than them!

After saying these passionate and indignant words, Brother Nan's chest rose and fell. He had even infected himself.

"This... Are you for real? Is there such a good thing? " Wang San asked excitedly after staring for a long time.

"Of course, that is my goal. These crystals are just gifts!" The Brother Nan nodded firmly.

"And who is Patriarch Golden Light?" Why did he do this? Why should I believe you? " Wang San was, after all, the founder of the Mercenary Group.

"To tell you the truth, Patriarch Golden Light is a great existence, and also my benefactor!" Brother Nan said respectfully. He knew that Zhang Chao's identity was kept a secret, so he did not say anything.

"However, the Ancestor wanted me to create my own career. No matter what career I created, it was not something that one or two people could accomplish!"

"So I thought of all of you!"

"Not long ago, we were all of the same kind, so I understand your nature. We are all steel-like men with dignity and a spirit of loyalty!"

"I don't know …" Could you join your brothers. to come with me and create something great? "

After saying that, Brother Nan actually dropped to one knee, clasping his fists towards Wang San!
