Volume 1 Clone Army Chapter 43 Trials
In the cafeteria hall, the strange expressions of the other mercenaries around Li Jiu made him curious.
So, after eating a few pieces of braised beef, he opened the beer on the plate and drank it comfortably while paying attention to the conversation of the mercenaries at the table closest to him.
There were three mercenaries on his left, two white men and one black man, all of them looked to be in their twenties. The red-haired white man sat with the black man, looking very excited, while the brown-haired white man sat opposite them, looking sad and lonely.
There were only leftovers on the plates in front of the three of them. Now everyone was holding a bottle of beer and drinking directly from the bottle like Li Jiu, while talking enthusiastically.
"Hey, Dre, Hoss, I really envy your Seventh Squad. With a strong captain like Scar, you will most likely stand out from the group selection this time, and then you can represent our Night Rose Mercenary Group to participate in the promotion match of District 5." The brown-haired white young man sighed, looked at his companions opposite him, and said with envy, then took a big gulp of beer, and then continued with a look of disappointment: "But our Third Squad is in a miserable situation. The captain is only a sergeant, and he is not even qualified to participate in the selection."
Hearing this man's words, Li Jiu's eyelids twitched, and he felt a little surprised. He glanced at the red-haired white man and the black man beside him. He didn't expect it to be such a coincidence that he met Scar's men when he came to the cafeteria for the first time.
As for the selection competition that the black man was talking about, what exactly was it? Why hadn't he heard of it? Moreover, from what he said just now, in order to participate in the selection competition, it seemed that the team leader must be a sergeant or above in order to be eligible to participate...
"Hehe, Ward, actually we have nothing to envy. After all, in our Night Rose Mercenary Group, in addition to our Seventh Team, there are also the First and Sixth Teams, who are also qualified to participate in the trials. Moreover, the strength of these two teams is not weaker than ours, so before the real competition, no one can guarantee which team will definitely win in the end." The black youth named Derry grinned, revealing a mouthful of porcelain white teeth. After he finished speaking, he also grabbed the bottle in front of him and took a sip of beer.
"Yeah, brother Ward, you really don't have to envy us. What's the point of just having the qualification to participate? You have to know that even if we can win the selection within the group and then represent our Night Rose Mercenary Group to participate in the district promotion competition, to be honest, the chances of qualifying in the end are too slim. After all, there are hundreds of large and small mercenary groups in the entire Fifth District, and the strength of our Night Rose Mercenary Group can only be barely regarded as being at a medium level among these mercenary groups." The red-haired white man, Hoss, shook his head and said with emotion.
Judging from what these two people said, they didn't seem to care at all that their team, Team 7, was qualified to participate in the trials.
However, Li Jiu, who was standing by, caught a glimpse of hidden excitement in their eyes .
Afterwards, the three of them chatted for a while and then left with their plates.
"Selection competition? It sounds interesting..." After the three people left, Li Jiu smiled and murmured. Now he finally understood that the strange expressions on the faces of the mercenaries in the hall were because of the selection competition.
As for what the selection competition was all about, Li Jiu had no clue from the few words those people said. Therefore, if he wanted to know the specific information about the selection competition, he had to wait until he saw Kaqi next time and ask her.
So, next, Li Jiu stopped thinking about it and ate all the braised beef on the plate at a whirlwind speed...
"Burp!" After eating, Li Jiu took a sip of beer and burped with satisfaction.
As the saying goes, a cigarette after a meal makes you feel as happy as a god. So, after eating and drinking, Li Jiu naturally took out a pack of Sabre brand cigarettes he had just bought, tore open the cigarette box, took out a cigarette, and lit it.
"Inhale...exhale..." Li Jiu took a puff with satisfaction, and immediately white smoke swirled between his fingers.
Next, Li Jiu thought about it and felt that there seemed to be nothing to do for the time being, so he took advantage of the break after dinner to open the "God of War System" and prepared to go to the equipment mall to buy some equipment.
As the saying goes, clothes make the man, and saddles make the horse. A strong mercenary must not only have good physical fitness and a flexible and resourceful mind, but also a set of powerful equipment. After all, even a good cook cannot cook without rice. Even if Li Jiu is familiar with the combat mode in this world, if he does not have a good set of equipment, it will be difficult for him to exert his due strength on the battlefield.
In fact, apart from a portion of their living expenses, the rest of the money earned by mercenaries in this world is basically spent on buying equipment. Because everyone knows that having a good set of equipment can increase their chances of survival on the battlefield!
After Li Jiu opened the "God of War System", he clicked the "Equipment System" button on the interface, and after entering it, he arrived at the equipment mall.
On the interface of the equipment store, Li Jiu saw a navigation bar with buttons such as "Rifle", "Machine Gun", "Sniper Rifle", "Pistol", "Melee Weapon", "Throwing Weapon", "Defense Equipment", "Special Equipment", etc....
Li Jiu planned to buy an assault rifle first, so he clicked on the rifle list.
After entering, Li Jiu saw various types of rifles, and each model of rifle was equipped with a three-dimensional picture. On the right side of the picture was a detailed introduction and price of the gun, as well as the military rank required to purchase it.
Li Jiu's goal is very clear, he just wants an M4A1 assault rifle, because he likes to play with this gun in "Cross Fire". And he also believes that if you play with rifles in Cross Fire, the M4A1 is the real king! Of course, some people will say that AK is the most powerful rifle, but Li Jiu believes that AK47 is only exclusive to experts, and M4A 1 can exert powerful power whether in the hands of experts or rookies!
So, next, Li Jiu skipped all kinds of weapons and went straight to looking for the M4A1...
