Chapter 2 Cosmic Mercenaries
The slums, a chaotic place, is filled with violent crimes and all kinds of grey transactions that are not on the table.
Most of the people living here, except for various criminals, are poor people. Due to various unknown reasons, they can no longer survive in the Human Federation and are forced to survive in the slums.
For this reason, slums have another nickname, that is, the garbage recycling bin.
However, the slums are not without highlights, because the Earth branch of the Universe Mercenary Alliance is located here.
After coming to the slums, Ye Tian felt like he was a different life. Compared with Qianlong Academy, which is located in a wealthy area and has an extremely beautiful environment, the slums are like a living purgatory on earth. Most of the people living here are dead, dull, and there is no charm in their eyes.
However, Ye Tian, who has lived in a slum area since childhood, has long been accustomed to this. After a little identification of the direction, he walked straight to the southeast corner of the block.
There is a towering skyscraper, full of magnificence and dazzling light, which is incredibly contrasting with other low and simple bungalows around.
And that is also Ye Tian’s destination, the Earth branch of the Universe Mercenary Alliance.
When he arrived at the magnificent skyscraper, Ye Tian stopped for a long time, finally took a deep breath and walked in resolutely.
As his good brother Zhao Yinshan said, cosmic mercenaries are definitely one of the most dangerous professions. They may lose their lives by accident, but after the genetic testing results are released, he has no other way out.
What he said to his good brother Zhao Yinshan before was not a lie, nor was it to deliberately comfort Zhao Yinshan, but the true thoughts in his heart, which was a promise between a man and a promise to inspire himself.
Ye Tian has his own ambitions and does not want to spend his whole life in the slums of the earth, and spend his days like a walking corpse.
It is precisely because of this that after the genetic testing results came out, Ye Tian immediately applied to the Earth Branch of the Universe Mercenary Alliance to become a Universe Mercenary, and this may be his last chance to realize his dream of exploring the interstellar dream.
Because he applied several days ago and received a formal reply from the Earth Branch of the Universe Mercenary Alliance, Ye Tian was soon received.
Guided by a sweet-looking service staff, Ye Tian came to the thirteenth floor of the magnificent skyscraper.
"Mr. Ye Tian, there is an exclusive hall for combatants. There are already many people who come to report like you. Next, Scar will review you. Good luck!" The service staff was polite and well-trained. They did not have any contempt because of Ye Tian's background and simple dress. But I wonder if it was Ye Tian's illusion, but the service staff seemed to be quite afraid of the person named Scar. After the explanation, they immediately ran away.
"Mr. Scar?" Ye Tian's eyes flashed slightly, and he then stepped into the exclusive hall of the combatants.
Sure enough, as the service staff said, there were no less than a hundred people waiting quietly in the spacious exclusive combatants hall, and Ye Tian also found a seat and sat down.
After about an hour, after more than fifty people came to report one after another, a middle-aged man in a black combat uniform finally appeared and walked towards the front desk slowly.
The middle-aged man's face was very ferocious, and a terrifying scar that penetrated his entire face kept shaking like a centipede's feet, which was very scary. His sharp eyes as sharp as an eagle were like a knife cut, making people feel the illusion of a pain in his cheeks and they didn't dare to look directly at him.
Evil energy!
An invisible evil aura emanated from his body, suppressing the audience. Facing his sharp gaze, everyone in the hall lowered their heads and dodged, not facing him. Only a few people straightened their chests and did not retreat.
Ye Tian is also among them. From the moment he entered the Earth Division of the Universe Mercenary Alliance, he had made some decisions. He never regretted the path he chose, nor would he back down.
"There are more and more wastes and idiots. I shouldn't have agreed to Parsons as the Rauss reviewer, just a waste of my time!" The middle-aged strong man, Scar, cursed in a low voice, and then said impatiently: "You guys are here to me. Although there are no thresholds for joining the Universe Mercenary Alliance, I want to remind you that according to the latest statistics, there are very few people who can finally be promoted to formal Universe Mercenaries among every 10,000 intern mercenaries, at most only two or three. As for the others, they are either disabled or completely dead on the battlefield. After knowing this cruel fact, are you sure you will join?"
"What? Only two or three out of ten thousand people can successfully be promoted to formal cosmic mercenaries? The chance of success is too low!" Hearing this, the people in the hall were slightly turbulent, and many people couldn't help but hesitate. After they learned the extremely cruel fact, they immediately retreated, stood up quietly, and left in shame.
"Why are there still sixty or seventy people?" Scar glanced at Ye Tian and others who were still sitting in their seats, and sneered: "It seems that you guys don't cry after seeing the coffin. Since that's the case, I'll let my little pet say hello to you."
After the words came, a terrifying beast roar suddenly rang throughout the audience. Then everyone present was stunned and they were shocked to find that there was an extremely terrifying and hideous monster in the hall. It was a bit like a leopard from the ancient earth era, but it was covered with steel-like shells and covered with sharp thorns.
The most terrifying thing is that his scarlet eyes are filled with tyranny and cruelty, and he almost wants to choose someone and eat them.
"Mutual monster!"
Everyone present screamed in shock. Many people turned pale and hurriedly retreated and dodged, and another twenty or thirty people ran away.
"Yes, this is the mutant monster Shadow Leopard. Do you know why the Earth branch of the Universe Mercenary Alliance was established in a slum? That's because it is closest to the Shadow Song Forest where various mutant monsters appear, it is convenient for various mission releases and reward transactions. Believe me, after you become intern mercenaries, you have to deal with those mutant monsters most of the time, and Shadow Leopard is just a low-level monster among them." Scar took out a cigar, lit it, and sucked the clouds and smog, and said with a wicked smile.
As he saw that he immediately left twenty more people, and in the end there were only eighteen people left in the spacious combatants’ exclusive hall.
However, even so, Scar was still a little dissatisfied. After checking the information of the remaining personnel through the Dawn Badge on his wrist, he couldn't help but wonder: "The genetic potential rating is E-level? There is such a waste. The most hateful thing is that the boy is a little stupid and bold, and has not been scared away yet!"
After the words came, Scar looked at Ye Tian in the field intentionally or unintentionally, but he didn't say much, but waved his hand and scolded him like driving away a fly, "Okay, you guys can get out. Since you want to die, I can't force you to stop him, right? From now on, you are a member of the Earth Branch of the Universe Mercenary Alliance. After you go out, you can find the service staff who led you to formally register."
After a pause, Scar sucked the cigar in his hand and smiled gloomyly: "But, don't be too happy too early. Being an intern mercenary is just the beginning, and it's not possible to go out the mission immediately. You must first participate in the training camp before going out. At that time, I have to train you so hard that you cry and call me!"
"The last sentence, why don't you get out of here?"
