410 The First Job
Su Bai was somewhat surprised. He just wanted Yan Xuan to see the true strength of the Monsters, to remind him not to underestimate them on the battlefield, and so on.
Su Bai sighed as he did not expect Yan Xuan to make such a scene at the beginning.
“Yan Xuan, have you never used firearms before?” Su Bai asked. His question embarrassed Yan Xuan a bit.
Yan Xuan helplessly pushed his glasses up and said, “It’s not that I’ve never used them. I have, but I’ve never used them in actual combat. I’ve been following the professor in the lab, refining things.”
As Alchemists, besides using Alchemy, they fought using the creations from Alchemy and they rarely participated in battles. Moreover, Yan Xuan had always been involved in research.
Su Bai raised an eyebrow and asked, “Do you want some real combat experience?”
Yan Xuan did not particularly want it or not, but since he was following Su Bai, he was bound to face real combat.
Furthermore, battles between Alchemists were not simple either. Apart from the battles between their created robots, they could easily end up firing at each other.
At this point, Su Bai clearly wanted to train Yan Xuan, so Yan Xuan thought he should make good use of this opportunity.
Yan Xuan looked at Su Bai and said, “Yes.”
Su Bai then pointed at one of the Beasts and said, “Attack it with all your strength.”
Besides Yan Xuan, Su Bai even suspected that Yan Yi and Olive had the same problem.
Originally, Su Bai planned to show them the true power of the Qiongqi. Now, it seemed better to let them train properly.
Su Bai took out three Beasts and bound them to a pillar. Then he called Olive and Yan Yi over. He said, “All of you will start training in marksmanship.”
Olive was a bit puzzled, but she still took the gun and fired at the Beast in front of her. The first shot hit the Beast’s eye directly. She turned to Su Bai and asked with a smile, “How was that, boss?”
The Beast wailed instantly, and the green blood left from its eye was a gruesome sight.
Su Bai smiled and said, “You missed the target or did you mean to hit its eye on purpose?”
Olive also smiled and said, “My marksmanship is pretty good. I’ve been out fighting with my senior brother before, and I’m always at the front!”
As Olive spoke, she wanted to demonstrate the second shot to Su Bai and the shot directly hit the other eye of the Beast. Both eyes of the Beast were now useless and the wails of the Beast surprised Yan Xuan.
Su Bai was also amazed by Olive’s real combat skills. Originally, he thought she was just an ordinary Alchemist, but she turned out to have such accuracy.
However, Olive was recommended by Roger and Su Bai intended to find out more from Roger about Olive and what kind of person she was.
“Since that’s the case, you will now teach Yan Xuan and Yan Yii how to use the weapon properly until their marksmanship improves,” Su Bai said.
Olive immediately saluted and said with a smile to Su Bai, “Got it! I promise to complete the task!”
After Su Bai left the training ground, he went to the Beast Training Space. The high-intensity training yesterday undoubtedly helped Lu Le and the others improve significantly. But it had only been one day.
“Keep up the good work!” Su Bai said to Lu Le and the others. They smiled at Su Bai with pale faces.
In their training, Lu Le and the others had already entered a regular routine. At least in Su Bai’s eyes, the base now had proper content. When there was no mission on hand, they stayed in the space for training, and the Beasts in the space were all condensed using illusion arts by Su Bai.
Those illusions could only be used for training. Once they encountered a really strong opponent, they would disappear instantly.
Su Bai felt a bit helpless, but there was nothing he could do. He went to the computer and browsed the web. Though he already prepared himself that there would not be any mission, he used the leisure time he had now to figure out how to expand his base.
As Su Bai surfed the web, he saw a small recruitment notice on the bounty list. It said they were recruiting, but in fact, it was just that some Beasts appeared near their village, and these Beasts seemed to be quite powerful.
However, the rewards given by the village chief were too little, so ordinary people were not willing to come to help them.
Su Bai sighed and it was better than nothing to do. He went to the training spaces and said, “I’m going to take on a mission.”
Lu Le was a bit surprised and looked at Su Bai, “Boss, do we already have a mission so soon? Yesterday, the views of our base were still only seven.”
The seven views were also contributed by Lu Le and the others themselves when they clicked on it.
“No, I found this somewhere else. The main reason is that it’s close, and the reward is not much, so you guys can stay at the base,” Su Bai said.
Lu Le immediately understood Su Bai’s intention.
Since those monsters did not seem to be powerful and the rewards were low, Su Bai could take Qiongqi along to train.
Qiongqi was excited when it saw the illusion-made Beasts, let alone when it saw real Beasts.
However, except for the Beasts that were eaten by Qiongqi in the Ancient Forest, the rest of the Beasts were obedient to Qiongqi, except for those that had been killed.
Su Bai looked at Qiongqi and noticed that its Affinity had increased to 200 points in just one night. He believed that it would probably increase even more after the battle.
Su Bai took Qiongqi and drove to the village. He found that the aura of those Beasts mainly came from the back mountain.
Instead of going to the back mountain, Su Bai first went to the village chief’s residence.
“Hello, I’m Su Bai here to work.” Su Bai introduced himself.
The village chief looked at Su Bai as if he had seen a savior, pulling him to sit down.
“Kind man, we don’t have much money in our village, so we can’t give you much. If you find it too little, you can even solve part of it,” said the village chief.
Su Bai looked at the environment of the village chief’s residence. He realized that it was indeed not very wealthy. The exterior of the house looked like a residence, but the wallpaper inside was pasted with newspapers.
Su Bai had not seen a village that used newspapers as wallpaper for eight hundred years.
Without waiting for Su Bai to speak, the village chief explained to Su Bai, “We weren’t this poor before. After a group of Alchemists robbed our village, we had no money left. Originally, there were even Beastmasters in our village, but since we have no money, the Beastmasters went to work outside. Our village has become more and more abandoned. Afterward, many Beasts came to attack our village, and we had no resistance. The remaining Beastmasters weren’t strong enough, so those Beasts often harassed us.”
Su Bai finally understood.
Those Beasts were indeed powerful, but the village was too weak to hire powerful Beastmasters because they did not have enough money. The Beastmasters were not willing to come, so the Beasts stayed on the back mountain. The longer those Beasts stayed there, the stronger they became due to the favorable environment.
