Chapter 26: Mercenary Mission

  As soon as Wu Chang left the mercenary profession club, he immediately headed towards the Mercenary Guild. In Zhongzhou, it was the world of mercenaries, and the Mercenary Guild was located in the central area of Zhongzhou City, where the lord of Zhongzhou City, the legendary mercenary Ao Huo, resided.

  The Mercenary Guild is very large, and players can only act in front of the guild. This is also where players receive mercenary tasks. As soon as Wu Chang walked into the grand hall of the Mercenary Guild, he narrowed his eyes, and the voices of the mercenary NPCs kept ringing out around him. These NPCs were discussing topics without restraint, and as Wu Chang listened to their discussions, the light in his eyes grew brighter. These NPCs are not useless; they discuss topics that guide players, such as the types of monsters that appear on certain maps or where bosses can be found.

  "I want to apply to be a mercenary!" Wu Chang said, looking at the old mercenary in front of him. Upon hearing Wu Chang's words, the old mercenary nodded immediately and said: "Starting today, you are a mercenary!"

  "System prompt: Player Wu Chang has become a mercenary, and can accept tasks from the Mercenary Guild!" The system prompt sounded, and instantly, Wu Chang's title had an additional "Primary Mercenary". The mercenary title determined one's status in Zhongzhou City, and was unrelated to the Mercenary Corps.

  Wu Chang opened some mercenary tasks, Shentong's game still has many tasks, in Zhongzhou City, but the experience gained from tasks is relatively small, leveling up still relies on killing monsters, tasks can at most allow players to gain a large amount of mercenary experience, which is good for promoting mercenary level, the higher the mercenary level, the higher the player's status in Zhongzhou City, many NPCs will even be afraid of you!

  So, sometimes players go out to practice levels and take on several mercenary tasks related to the leveling map. This way, they can not only level up but also upgrade their mercenary level.

  "Kill the Black Bear King of Black Bear Mountain, kill the leader of the bandit gang Fudi Gang outside the city!" Wu Chang quickly accepted two tasks, this is the highest task that Wu Chang can accept, both the Black Bear King and the leader of Fudi Gang are around level 20 BOSS, and the maps where they are located are very close, Wu Chang can completely take them down together.

  After receiving the task, Wu Chang immediately set off. Black Bear Mountain was relatively close to where Wu Chang was now, so he quickly arrived at Black Bear Mountain. There was only one type of monster on Black Bear Mountain - black bears. The black bears here were all level 20 monsters and also the lowest level in the entire Zhongzhou City.

  Wu Chang had just appeared when he encountered two black bears, both of which were frenzied and pounced on Wu Chang. Seeing the two black bears, Wu Chang suddenly made a dash, directly charging to the front of one of the black bears. Immediately, his dagger made a swift strike, striking out with great force, knocking this black bear into a daze.

  Wu Chang's attack was swift, almost instantaneous, and the black bear in front of him had already taken over 200 points of damage.

  "Defense is pretty good!" Wu Chang said, looking at the black bear. The black bear's defense was high, and Wu Chang's attack dealt only 100 damage, whereas a normal level 20 monster would have taken around 150 damage. This showed that the black bear's armor value was quite good.

  "Roar!" At this moment, both black bears stretched out their huge palms and slapped Wu Chang heavily.

  Wu Chang suddenly accelerated, his body instantly retreating backwards, also avoiding the two black bears' massive palms. At the same time, Wu Chang charged forward again, stabbing with a single knife, hitting the black bear and making it retreat explosively. Then, Wu Chang struck fiercely, blasting onto the black bear's body, directly reducing its blood by over 100 points. At this moment, the black bear in front of him only had over 200 points of blood left. Under Wu Chang's attack, the black bear would soon fall to the ground. After one black bear was hit, only one black bear remained in front of Wu Chang.

  "Roar!" The black bear's angry roar rang out instantly, and at this moment, the black bear slapped Wu Chang's body with a palm, dealing over 100 points of damage. This black bear's attack power was not weak, and it could deal over 100 points of damage to Wu Chang. Now that Wu Chang had just over 500 points of blood, the black bear's single slap grabbed away over 100 points of his blood, enough to prove that the black bear in front of him was not weak at all.

  At this moment, Wu Chang dodged the black bear in front of him with a flash and then burst out from behind, directly striking twice. After mastering the dagger, Wu Chang's attack burst rate increased significantly. In an instant, he struck a critical hit of over 300 points, causing the black bear to let out a shrill cry and fall to the ground.

  After the black bear fell, a piece of bear skin and a bear gall burst out. Wu Chang directly picked up these things and then walked towards the depths of Black Bear Mountain. At this moment, Wu Chang's experience accumulated from his successful job change allowed him to level up to 21, so the experience given by the black bear was not much.

  At this moment, Wu Chang is constantly advancing and killing black bears. At present, there is only one player in Zhongzhou City, Wu Chang, so the one who kills the black bear is also Wu Chang. Because of this, under Wu Chang's constant killing, the experience of the black bear directly allowed Wu Chang to level up to 22 levels. At this moment, Wu Chang's backpack already has 30 black bear skins and 20 black bear gallbladders. If these things were exchanged for silver coins, they could also be exchanged for more than a dozen silver coins, which is much more than what was earned in the novice village.

  This is also the difference between Zhongzhou City and Newbie Village. After entering Newbie Village, players can get a lot more money, which is when they really start making money. At this time, Newbie Village is actually more expensive. After all, the fur dropped by monsters in Newbie Village is not worth much, not even half as valuable as black bear skin. Only the wolf king skin and black magic wolf king skin that Wu Chang stored are relatively valuable.

  At this moment, Wu Chang has entered the deepest part of Hei Xiong Mountain, and in the distance, a huge black bear also caught Wu Chang's attention, it was the Black Bear King.

  The black bear king was much larger than the other black bears, and if it stood up, its height would be nearly three meters. In comparison, Wu Chang felt particularly small at this moment. At this time, the black bear king also discovered Wu Chang and let out a furious roar, instantly charging towards him.

  "It's you I'm looking for!" Wu Chang also narrowed his eyes and said aloud, staring at the black bear king in front of him.
