Chapter 85: Unexpected Candidate
The next few days passed peacefully, no one came to trouble me, and I was happy to be in peace.
And Ye Fan's performance in the first hunting trip also made Shenye famous.
In one hunting trip, more than a dozen bronze-level beasts and dozens of black iron-level beasts were killed, and 40 members of Qiang Ge's mercenary group were killed.
With the generous harvest and a tough leader, the number of mercenaries who have signed up has gradually increased in the past few days. Although Sun Qiang and others have blocked the blockade very hard, some other mercenary groups and some individual people are not affected by it. Such restrictions.
"Ye Fan, these are the list of mercenaries we have recently registered."
In the backstage of the tavern, Wang Lingxi brought a list and placed it in front of Mark.
"Okay." Ye Fan took the list, took out the red pen as usual, and began to mark some suspicious people.
Clatter, clatter, page after page, suddenly, Ye Fan stopped.
"Chen Peng?" Looking at the name, Ye Fan frowned slightly, put down his pen, and looked at Wang Lingxi, "Is this mercenary named Chen Peng in the tavern now?"
"I'll go ask." Wang Lingxi replied and walked out quickly.
"Chen Peng, is this guy really here?" Looking at the simple introduction on the list, Ye Fan's expression changed slightly.
This Chen Peng is not an ordinary mercenary. In his last life, he was a famous task maniac in the mercenary group. Not to mention his strong strength, he never completed less than 300 tasks in a year. He was upright and remembered kindness. In his previous life, he was a white man. Chen once saved his life on a mission. Later, whenever Bai Chen was in trouble, he would help him. Finally, in the battle between Dawn and Dawn, he died for Bai Chen blocking hidden weapons.
More importantly, this person is the Lone Ranger. In his previous life, he did not register with any mercenary group. He only went to the Dawn Mercenary Group to take tasks. I have also met him several times, so I am not familiar with him. But I still have a pretty good impression of this person.
At this time in his previous life, Chen Peng had just entered the mercenary industry and had not yet become famous...
"Captain, Chen Peng is here." While he was thinking, Wang Lingxi's voice sounded.
Ye Fan raised his head and looked behind Wang Lingxi. A middle-aged man wearing a black trench coat stood there quietly. He had a hooked nose and a scar on his face from his forehead to his chin.
"It's really this guy." Looking at this familiar face, Ye Fan was slightly surprised, but it didn't show on his face. Instead, he waved his hand to Wang Lingxi.
When Wang Lingxi saw this, he quickly retreated.
"Captain." Seeing Ye Fan, Chen Peng was polite and said hello.
"Yes." Ye Fan nodded, looked Chen Peng up and down, and asked, "Why did you join my mercenary group?"
"The welfare of Shenye is very good." Chen Peng answered truthfully, glanced at Ye Fan, and said: "The mission commission for registered mercenaries of Shenye is only 8%. I can earn more money by doing tasks."
"So that's it." Hearing this, Ye Fan nodded slightly. This makes sense. In order to attract mercenaries, their mercenary group set a smaller commission, usually 10%. , they only have eight percent.
Two percent may be nothing to an ordinary mercenary, but to a mission maniac like Chen Peng, it is a huge amount of income.
After thinking for a moment and glancing at Chen Peng, Ye Fan suddenly said: "Hit me."
"Huh?" After hearing this, Chen Peng's expression changed a little, "What?"
"I said, punch me." Ye Fan continued to speak and stood up.
"Why?" Chen Peng did not make a move, but stopped where he was.
"There is no reason." Ye Fan got ready, "I'm right here. If you can repel me, I will take a commission from your mission, and I can make the decision and reduce it by 2% for you."
"Is this true?" After hearing this, Chen Peng became interested and asked quickly.
"Of course." Ye Fan nodded.
The next moment, Chen Peng punched, a straight punch, right in front of Ye Fan.
Rumble.
This punch came out with loud thunder and strong wind.
"Well done." Seeing this punch, Ye Fan's eyes were a little bright. This punch had at least the power of a bronze four or five star.
This Chen Peng is really extraordinary!
As he said that, Ye Fan also clenched his fists and entered the Holy Law. His fists swung like dragons, and a surge of power surged up. Ye Fan punched, and it was also a straight punch.
Boom.
The fists collided with each other, making a muffled sound, and Chen Peng took four or five steps back.
"The leader has such a strong physique."
Chen Peng spoke, but did not give up. He waved his fist again, but this time when he punched again, there was not only thunder but also a faint light on his fist.
"This is physical skills." Looking at this scene, Ye Fan's eyes were even brighter. He clenched his fists again, and all things were moving, and a tiger appeared.
Boom!
When the punches collided, Chen Peng flew out and hit the wall on the side. Ye Fan also moved slightly, but did not step back.
"Cough." Falling down, Chen Peng coughed, looking at Ye Fan who was motionless, with a bit of unwillingness in his eyes, but he didn't take action again, but handed over his hand.
"The leader's melee combat ability is much stronger than that of ordinary beast masters. I can't match him."
"Your abilities are much stronger than ordinary people." After saying this, Ye Fan glanced at Chen Peng and suddenly said: "If I guessed correctly, you should be practicing the Thunder Breathing Technique."
"This..." Chen Peng changed slightly when he heard Ye Fan say it. When he was about to say something, Ye Fan waved his hand.
"The fist is like thunder. This is the sign of the third level of the Thunder Breathing Method."
After saying this, Ye Fan continued, "The Thunder Breathing Method is not a rare breathing method. Many people have it. You don't have to worry about me telling others that you know the breathing method."
"Thank you, Captain." Chen Peng replied.
"In addition to the breathing method, you seem to have learned a physical skill, and you are also good at it." Ye Fan said, thinking for a while, and shook his head, "I don't know much about physical skills, but I don't know which one it is."
After saying this, Chen Peng was silent for a while, and then he said, "Captain, what do you want to say?"
"There's nothing to say." Ye Fan replied, looking at Chen Peng, and said, "Do you want to follow me?"
"This..." Chen Peng was stunned by Ye Fan's sudden invitation.
This made Chen Peng hesitate again, and he said, "Captain, why do you..."
"Nothing, I just value you as a person." Ye Fan replied, looking at Chen Peng, with a slight smile in his eyes, "You just need to answer whether I want to or not."
"I want to..." Chen Peng replied, but soon shook his head helplessly, "But I'm really sorry, Captain, I can't follow you."
"No way?" Hearing this, looking at Chen Peng's expression, Ye Fan slightly guessed, and said, "Is there anything difficult?"
"My old mother is seriously ill at home, and she needs a lot of medical expenses every month." Chen Peng replied with a bitter smile, "I have to do mercenary missions to make money."
"I appreciate the captain's kindness, it's really..."
Before continuing, Ye Fan raised his hand and asked, "What's wrong with your mother?"
"The doctor in the city said it was fire poison." Chen Peng replied, "Every month, it needs the energy essence absorbed by the water spirit beads to barely suppress it."
"Fire poison?" Hearing this, Ye Fan frowned slightly.
Fire poison is a very difficult disease to treat.
Since the revival of spiritual energy, the world has changed drastically. There are more spiritual energy and spiritual herbs, but fewer fruits and vegetables suitable for human consumption. Even if they are artificially grown, they will contain trace elements.
Trace elements may not be a big deal for beastmasters, but for ordinary people with ordinary physiques, they are a hidden bomb. Over time, if the content of elements exceeds the standard and is unbalanced one day, they will explode into toxins and attack the human body. Fire poison is one of them.
"Has your mother's fire poison attacked the internal organs?" After thinking for a while, Ye Fan looked at Chen Peng.
"Not yet." Chen Peng replied, sighing, "But it's very close, so now I need the water spirit beads to suppress it every month."
"It's okay if it doesn't." Ye Fan nodded.
The consequences of this element imbalance are quite serious. Once it attacks the internal organs, it is basically certain death. It is difficult to save it. If it doesn't, it's okay.
"How about this." After a slight silence, Ye Fan looked at Chen Peng, "I can save your mother. After saving her, you follow me, how about it?"
