Chapter 39 (1/2)

In this turbulent era, respect and appreciation were all useless words. Strength was the cornerstone of everything.

If the license issued by the Parkland plutocrat had not passed through the checkpoint to inform the union officers before they entered the base, if Theon had not taken an interest in the mercenary and called up his assignment records, if Zero had not killed a butcher alone in Silvertree.

In that case, Sean wouldn't come to the temporary stop, and he wouldn't give Zero Open a level three or above mercenary mission.

And all of this was dependent on its strength!

Without power, you can only live like a dog in the wilderness.

Only if you have sufficient strength will you be respected, as well as other resources.

A butcher was a Level 3 dangerous monster. Any mercenary or hunter under Rank 3 could upgrade their license by at least one rank by killing a butcher.

At that time, Zero had no license, so even if he killed the butcher, he could only obtain the acknowledgement of the primary rank.

Of course, the Parkland trade unions were skeptical about the zeros.

Otherwise, zero could at least get a first-order license.

Of course, Sean would not unreservedly trust in Zero, but as long as there was a 70% confidence in Zero's record, then he would be qualified to carry out this mission.

Of course, Sean had other backup plans.

After all, this was one of the important tasks of the Ramtec expansion plan, and the Vice Chairman could not leave it to a single mercenary.

”At three o'clock in the afternoon, come to me in the Union Hall.

I will give you some details of the mission and introduce you to some of my companions. ”

”You can rest assured that the same thing will not happen,” Sean added to Zero.

”Trust me, I have the ability to do so.”

The vice president left, and Zero and Leigh returned to the tent.

When Teddy brought him some bread, he puffed up his left eye and said, ”Thank you for taking care of Leigh when I left.”

”Don't say that, man.”

People in the Wilderness knew that only by taking care of each other could they live longer.

”Besides, we owe you a big favor.”

Teddy scratched his head, embarrassed. ”But we can't help much. If you don't get here in time …”

”Let's not talk about this anymore, you guys should eat something first.

We're going to the business district in the afternoon to see if we have any work to do. ”

Teddy pointed to the bread and backed out of the tent.

On a plate are two moldy loaves of bread. The food is past its shelf life, but it has little radiation.

In this era, especially for humans who grew up in harsh environments, their stomachs were not so weak that they could not eat food that had expired.

He took out half of the bread and put it in his mouth.

Then he pushed the rest of the meal in front of Leah, who shook her head.

”You can eat the rest, but you still have to go on a mission. How can you not have the stamina to do so?”

”It doesn't matter, I'm different from you guys.

”Half of the bread's energy is enough to sustain me for three days.”

No, Leah needed food more than anything else.

Nearby, Lara called out in a low voice, reminding Zero not to forget it.

Zero picked Lala up and said, ”You and I will go out on a mission. There's nothing else in the ruins, but there's a lot of scrap metal.”

Lala's eyes lit up as she excitedly slapped her ears and wings and flew around Zero and Leah twice.

”Zero, why did you leave Z7 with me?”

Leah finally asked, ”You should stay. With your ability, the Parkland plutocrats will use you.”

You could even be recruited to the main office.
