Volume 4: Biochemical Attack Chapter 725: Sharp Knife Team
After listening to Doug's words, Li Jiu couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
Doug and the other two suddenly proposed to go out on a mission at this time, which was something he had not anticipated.
But if you think about it carefully, what Doug said does make sense.
The brothers Doug and Quinn were just ordinary soldiers. Even if they had some military ranks , they would probably not be too high, not to mention that they have now changed their identities. After officially joining the Thunder Leopard Mercenary Group, they are just ordinary privates.
As for Yunbao, he came from a background of underground boxing and had almost no actual combat experience on the battlefield. His current military rank was only private.
After this mission, many of the new recruits in the Thunder Leopard Mercenary Group have been promoted to higher ranks. Although at most they are only privates third class and privates second class, their ranks are indeed higher than those of Doug and the other two.
Therefore, it is indeed inappropriate to let Doug and three other privates manage those mercenaries whose ranks are higher than theirs, and it may even cause dissatisfaction among those mercenaries.
In addition, Li Jiu had actually thought about letting them go out to carry out the mission a long time ago.
After all, as a mercenary, it would be too unreasonable if he did not have any military achievements.
"Clouded Leopard, have you also decided to go out on the mission?" After thinking for a moment, Li Jiu looked at Clouded Leopard and confirmed again.
He was relatively relieved when Doug and Quinn went out on a mission. After all, the twin brothers used to be soldiers in the army, so there shouldn't be any problems for them to go out and fight.
But Yunbao was born into a civilian family. At most, he had only fought underground boxing in underground bars for a few years and had never been on a battlefield. This made Li Jiu a little worried.
"Brother Jiu, I've thought about it." Yunbao nodded confidently and said, "I know, Brother Jiu, you might be worried that I have never been on the battlefield before and have no practical experience. If I go to the battlefield, I may be more dangerous than Doug and the others. But you don't have to worry. During this period of time, when Doug and I were training new recruits together, I also learned some battlefield knowledge. Even if I am not as good as Doug and Quinn now, I am at least not worse than those new recruits. If those new recruits can go to the battlefield , I will have no problem at all."
"Besides, don't forget, brother, although I have never taken genetic enhancers, my close combat strength is completely comparable to that of a level 2 warrior!" Clouded Leopard emphasized.
"Oh? It seems that this brother Clouded Leopard should be a fighting master." Hearing this, Zhao Wu on the side couldn't help but look at Clouded Leopard in surprise.
"Haha, that's right. Yunbao used to fight in the underworld. He is indeed very strong." Li Jiu nodded and looked around at Doug, Quinn and Yunbao with a serious look. "Since the three of you have made up your mind, then follow Zhao Wu's men and go to the First Team. We will have ten people in total."
"Okay, Brother Nine!" Doug and the other two responded at the same time with smiles on their faces.
"Captain, it seems that you want to build a sharp knife team!" At this moment, Zhao Wu on the side suddenly smiled and said meaningfully.
"That's right! Brother Zhao Wu is worthy of being a regiment commander in the army. He saw my idea at a glance ." Li Jiu smiled calmly, "In the virtual world, almost every army will specially train a sharp knife force with particularly strong combat effectiveness, usually called a special force. Although the scale of my Thunder Leopard Mercenary Group is not yet considered an army, it must have its own sharp knife force. After all, sometimes the alliance will send some difficult tasks to test the strength of each mercenary group. At this time, the sharp knife team is needed!"
The strength of the seven men brought by Zhao Wu and Doug and his two companions far exceeds that of other mercenaries in the Thunder Leopard Mercenary Group.
If they are arranged in different teams respectively, it can also help to enhance the strength of each team.
But on the one hand, if the ten of them were to disperse, the strength of the ten teams of the Thunder Leopard Mercenary Group would be improved, but the extent would not be too obvious and would not have much practical effect.
In this case, it would be better to gather all ten of their particularly strong mercenaries together to form a spearhead force of the Thunder Leopard Mercenary Group.
This spearhead force can not only play an important role in overcoming difficult tasks, but also set an example for the other nine teams, motivating them to continue to work hard to grow themselves.
"However, Doug, although I agree that you three can go on the mission, before that, you must first introduce the specific situation of the Thunder Leopard Mercenary Group to Brother Zhao Wu." Li Jiu added: "In addition, even if you go out to perform missions in the future, when you come back, you must continue to assist Brother Zhao Wu in managing the Thunder Leopard Mercenary Group."
"Brother Jiu, no problem!" Doug responded immediately.
"Well, that's good. Let's stop here for today. You guys go and get busy. I still have some things to take care of." Li Jiu nodded.
Immediately, Doug and his two companions left the main building of the villa with Zhao Wu.
Li Jiu, on the other hand, opened the God of War system and directly entered the equipment mall.
Now, he has the rank of colonel and is eligible to purchase five times the gene enhancer.
His current physical fitness is only equivalent to that of a level 4.5 warrior. Logically, he needs a five-fold gene enhancer.
However, he did not plan to take the five-fold gene enhancer he bought today, but rather intended to give it to Kaqi.
After all, although his apparent strength is only that of a level 4.5 warrior, on the battlefield, once he transforms into a biochemical ghost or even the Hulk, his combat effectiveness will immediately skyrocket.
Therefore, compared to him, Kaqi needs a five-fold gene enhancer more.
"A set of five-fold gene enhancers actually costs 50 million Alliance Coins. This is simply robbery..." Looking at the five-fold gene enhancers in the equipment mall, Li Jiu couldn't help but sigh, but at the same time he clicked the purchase button.
Although Li Jiu could afford 50 million Alliance Coins, it was unknown how long it would take for an ordinary colonel mercenary to save enough money.
At this time, Li Jiu deeply felt that although the income of the mercenary industry was high, the expenses were also very high. Not to mention the weapons and ammunition that must be prepared for normal battles, these expenses can be easily solved by the rewards in the missions, but the rapid healing agents and other medicines used in battles are much more expensive than weapons and ammunition. Even if it is just a very ordinary healing medicine, it will easily cost tens of thousands of Alliance coins. If a mercenary is seriously injured in battle and uses a lot of healing medicine, then a mission may not earn any Alliance coins.
Especially as military ranks rise, the gene enhancers that mercenaries compete to buy become the biggest expense.
Li Jiu knew that many mercenaries could not collect enough money to buy gene enhancers of corresponding military rank even until they died in battle!
Sometimes, Li Jiu even suspected that the cost of that gene enhancer might not be that much at all, and the reason why the Alliance Government sold it at such a high price was probably because they wanted to exploit the hard-earned money of the mercenaries.
"squeak!"
While Li Jiu was thinking, the wooden door of the villa was pushed open again, and a hurried figure walked in.
"Huh?" Li Jiu came back to his senses and looked up, only to see Lin Zhen, who was wearing a white coat and holding a white box in his hand, coming in in a hurry with a look of surprise on his face.
"Brother Jiu, good news, good news!" Lin Zhen couldn't help but say with a smile as he walked over.
"Oh? What good news makes you so excited?" Li Jiu smiled calmly and asked curiously, "Did you research new weapons and equipment, or did the weapons and equipment that Mr. Zhao customized for me arrive?"
"Hehe, Brother Jiu, your guess is right, but not entirely correct!" Lin Zhen walked over and sat down on the sofa opposite Li Jiu. He put the silver-white box in his hand on the coffee table in front of him, and directly picked up a cup of tea on the coffee table and took two big gulps.
"Hmm? Not entirely correct, what does this mean?" Li Jiu was slightly stunned, then looked at the box brought by Lin Zhen. He was suddenly shocked and couldn't help frowning, "What's in this box..." He actually saw a very familiar logo on this box, a silver-white lightning!
As far as he knew, in the entire league, the only company that used the silver-white lightning logo was the industrial giant Thunder Corporation.
And since Lin Zhen brought in a box with the Thunder Group logo printed on it, it was estimated that the things inside were probably sent by Old Chen.
"Yes, this is the equipment that Elder Chen sent you!" Lin Zhen said excitedly, with a mysterious smile on his face, "However, there are more than just the equipment you wanted, there are many other things in here!"
"Oh? Then I want to see what treasures Mr. Chen has given me. Let me open it and take a look!" Li Jiu's heart moved, he smiled slightly, and said with anticipation.
"Hey, okay!" Lin Zhen responded, then reached out to open the box.
“Beep!”
Lin Zhen pressed a button on the box, and immediately, a beam of blue light shot out from the box and gathered into a virtual projection.
Then, he quickly entered a series of passwords on the virtual projection.
The next moment, the box opened with a click.
"This is..." Li Jiu looked at it intently, was slightly stunned, and said in surprise.
I saw that inside the box, there were two exquisitely crafted and domineering weapons, as well as a transparent bottle that looked like a test tube, which was filled with a green liquid.
Li Jiu recognized one of the two weapons at a glance. It was the Ghost Blade in the Crossfire game, the weapon used by the biochemical ghost.
The other weapon was a one-foot-long cyan-gold dagger, or it could be said to be a larger dagger. It looked simple in style, with sharp double edges and a cold glow. It was surprisingly similar to the ancient Chinese swords, and no one knew what it was called.
