#2810 - mercenary
"Who's there?"
Outside the train, several guards stood watch with guns, their faces grave.
In the distance, a figure was approaching the train slowly, walking along a path formed by the pile of spider monster corpses.
"It's me, Fang Heng."
Fang Heng gradually came into view, walking slowly from a distance towards the train car, holding the black stone left behind after the shattered game pillar.
"The game pillar has been taken care of by me, your commission is complete."
A player?
The player who left alone just now?
The guards' hearts skipped a beat when they saw Fang Heng, and their eyes were immediately drawn to the black stone in Fang Heng's hand, their eyes filled with disbelief.
Alone?
He destroyed the entire game pillar all by himself?
This level of black fog used to require the Federation to dispatch a formal military corps to completely eliminate it...
Fang Heng frowned as he watched the guards standing there dumbfounded and silent, and asked, "Where's your Captain Bakal? Does he keep his word?"
The guard swallowed and looked at Fang Heng cautiously, "Cap... Captain is still in the carriage."
"That's good."
Fang Heng said, putting away the stone, and climbed in through the broken train window.
Bakal and the group of players still in the carriage showed different expressions on their faces when they saw Fang Heng returning from outside.
It's him?
Everyone had seen Fang Heng leave.
Seeing Fang Heng return unharmed at this time, and thinking of the black fog that had just dissipated, everyone suddenly had an unrealistic premonition in their hearts.
No way...
Could it be him?
Until Fang Heng tossed the black fog core in his hand high, the players' eyes went wide.
Good heavens!
Black fog stone!
It really was him!
Single-handedly, soloing the black fog?
Where did this kid come from?
Even Bakal had a look of surprise on his face as he looked at Fang Heng, "You... you alone did it?"
"Of course! Do you see anyone else here? Officer Bakal, Fang Heng is a member of our team. He took a great risk to eliminate the game pillar after accepting your commission!"
Before Fang Heng could answer, Zaka had already walked out in a hurry.
He was also taken aback when he first saw Fang Heng leaving, but he quickly reacted.
Suck up to him!
What are you waiting for?
Bakal understood.
Their team was the only one in the entire black fog area. Who else could it be besides Fang Heng?
Taking credit? That's impossible.
Fang Heng glanced at Zaka, who was winking at him frantically, and nodded, "Okay."
...
Three hours later, Fang Heng and the others successfully entered the capital of the West District Federation. The four of them were sitting in an SUV, heading to the Federation Star Chart Control Center.
"Damn, bro, you're so strong."
Zaka sat next to Fang Heng, looking at Fang Heng with admiration, "You are definitely not an unknown person in the game. Fang Heng should be your fake name, right?"
"Heh..."
Fang Heng just smiled and didn't continue.
"Haha, sorry, sorry, I'm just being nosy."
Fang Heng took out the black stone in his hand, "Do you know the use of the black fog core?"
"Bro, you think too highly of me. This is the first time I've seen this thing, but I've heard that the Federation buys it at a high price."
"Um."
Fang Heng took back the stone.
In fact, he received a game notification when he obtained the black fog core.
The black fog core can be directly exchanged for main god points.
One million points!
But because of this, Fang Heng felt particularly strange.
The game pillar is a product of the game, but the black fog core can be obtained after breaking the game pillar.
Isn't that strange?
If the purpose of the game pillar is to spread the game and completely devour humans, then why would it explode a black fog core that can be recognized by the game and even bought by the game with a large number of main god points after breaking the black fog pillar?
Isn't this the game encouraging players to break the game pillar in disguise?
It feels very wrong.
If he were to design the game, any player who dared to break the game pillar would have 1 million main god points deducted first.
"By the way, Fang Heng,"
Zaka interrupted Fang Heng's thoughts and said, "Officer Bakal just sent me a message. He is already waiting for us at the Federation Star Chart Control Center. He will accompany us to complete the registration procedures."
"Is that so... he's moving pretty fast."
Su Guantong, who was sitting in the front row, turned around and asked, "So we have become formal members of the West District Federation Star Chart Project?"
"Not formal members, more like mercenaries, outsourcing."
Zaka explained, "The Star Chart Project is mainly the responsibility of the West District Federation Military Department. Officer Bakal's authority can only help us avoid some complicated procedures in the early stage. If you want to apply for formal membership, you need to apply and assess later, which is more difficult, and the subsequent review procedures are more troublesome."
"But it has no impact on us. The West District Federation only needs to recruit some strong players to do some things in the game. As long as they help them, they can get points and contribution value. If you just want to get the unlocking method of the game lock, our kind of outsourced mercenaries only need to collect enough contribution points to get it. There is no need to formally join the West District Federation military."
Su Guantong nodded and didn't ask any more questions.
Most players who come to the West District Federation to participate in the Star Chart Project are attracted by the unlocking method and don't want to become formal employees.
"In addition, I heard that after joining the Star Chart Project, you may need to team up for actions. If it's convenient, everyone should consider teaming up together, it's safer."
Zaka secretly looked at Fang Heng when he spoke.
"Um, okay."
Fang Heng agreed and continued to close his eyes to rest.
Zaka immediately grinned.
He found that Fang Heng didn't seem to like talking much.
That's probably a common problem with experts.
Zaka also closed his mouth.
Don't worry about so much, just be able to hug his thigh.
More than an hour later, the vehicle entered the military cordon and finally stopped on the side of the road.
The driver guard got out of the car, helped open the door, and nodded to several people, "Three, thank you for your assistance. Officer Bakal has completed the identity level for you through internal procedures. Please come with me, I will take you to the Star Chart Control Center."
