Capítulo 1044: Chapter 817: Blood Teeth Team Arrives!
Three lines of text.
[S-Class Mercenary Group: Purple Flame accepts the mission, mercenary group points 1421, chooses code name S015]
[S-Class Mercenary Group: Blood Teeth accepts the mission, mercenary group points 1922, chooses code name S002]
[S-Class Mercenary Group: Destruction accepts the mission, mercenary group points 1750, chooses code name S009]
“Blood Teeth…”
Mu Fan’s faint voice echoed, a cold smile hanging on his face.
Lu Qingxue stood still, raising her head to look at Mu Fan.
“Is there news?”
“Hmm… Luck is really on our side.”
Mu Fan handed the communication device issued by the Sanctuary to Lu Qingxue.
Her cold eyes gazed at the second line of information, flashing with a frosty light, then she looked up at Mu Fan.
“Contact them now?”
“Send the code name to the Sanctuary. Senior Sister, are you prepared?” Mu Fan’s voice started to reveal a faint excitement and battle intent.
“I’ve never slacked off.”
Lu Qingxue’s captivating cold eyes looked at Mu Fan and nodded slightly.
“Alright then.”
Mu Fan turned around and looked again in the direction of the Sanctuary.
A gentle voice came out, “Let’s head back.”
…
“Are you sure you want the mercenary group S002 to take the mission? If confirmed, 30% of the cost will be deducted as a deposit, and the other party will immediately send someone to contact you. If the client backs out, the deposit is non-refundable.”
“What if the other party can’t send someone or fails to complete the task?”
“The collateral will be returned, but the deposit non-refundable.”
In other words, no matter what, 30% of 15 million Star Coins must be paid.
“Okay.”
“Okay.”
At that moment, two voices rang out simultaneously.
Lu Qingxue and Mu Fan exchanged glances, clearly not expecting to speak at the same time.
Mu Fan chuckled and shook his head.
Looking at the obese woman with brown skin across from him, he handed over a card.
“Use this card for the deposit, and keep the 15 million here for the final settlement upon task completion.”
The obese woman yawned, took the card, and swiped it on a machine.
“Received.”
Then she operated the machine for a while before handing the communication device to Mu Fan.
“Place your fingerprint on it, and it will display the meeting location with the mercenary group. When both parties meet, the device will automatically buzz.”
After speaking, the obese woman impatiently waved her hand, “Next.”
Mu Fan stepped aside and pressed his fingerprint.
[Task Receiver: Do, Belonging Mercenary Group: Blood Teeth, Location: Green Oasis City C Area 109, Maple Leaf Bar.]
“Do? That’s an interesting name.”
Distance to Maple Leaf Bar, 4592 meters.
…
A figure draped in a black cloak, revealing only a face wrapped in colorful strips of cloth, was leisurely walking the streets of Oasis City.
In this desert climate city, you could see those flying sand flies everywhere.
Yet, even these insects dared not approach within three meters of this figure.
Occasionally, some insects would crash into that field only to silently plummet to the ground, their bodies becoming rigid.
At this moment, the face bound with blue-green strips had dull eyes staring forward.
The self-muttering, akin to a rasping file, squeezed out from the throat.
“Quite an outsider, the mission target is in Oasis City…this money should support a month’s worth of experiments…kekeke.”
Buzz, buzz~
Buzz~
A gentle vibration came from beside the ear.
From inside the black cloak emerged a withered, terrifyingly claw-like arm, tapping lightly beside the ear.
“What’s up… don’t you know I’m busy?” A sinister voice emerged.
“Poison King, I know you’re busy. But I’ve got a fresh experiment subject from the Outer Domain Galaxy, a race supposedly called…Wood God Tribe, with fairly pure bloodline, how about it, 5 million? Interested?”
“500 thousand, keep it for me.”
“You stingy old ghost, at least 2 million.”
“100 thousand, keep an eye on your diet next time.” The cloaked monster said inscrutably.
“Heh, that’s tough, truly worthy of the Poison King. 500 thousand, I’ll save it for you, bothering with so little while taking private gigs.” The voice sounded grumpy yet resigned.
“Humph…” The monster known as Poison King had a cold smile flash in his eyes.
The call ended.
Deep within Oasis City, at the foot of a small hilly area encircled by dense forest, lay a large derelict transport ship.
However, inside the ship, it was exceptionally spacious, and its interior quality far exceeded the shabby exterior.
At this moment, a man covered in wooden fibers was looking at the Sky Communication, snorting coldly, then turning to face backward.
On a cold metal platform, a girl with pointy ears was firmly restrained.
Brown hair hung down, making the distinctly characteristic ears conspicuous.
The man, encased in vines and roots, saw the eyes filled with hate and smiled indifferently, “Did you hear, you’re worth 500 thousand Star Coins, that price is really not low.”
“May you turn into ashes after death! May your soul be damned for eternity!…” The girl’s eyes burned with deep-seated hatred.
“Whack!”
A vine suddenly lashed through the air, striking hard across the girl’s cheek.
In an instant, a deep blood seal appeared on that delicate skin.
But the girl did not cry or scream, only biting her lip fiercely, remaining silent.
“Please, what bull~crap Wood God, your beliefs mean nothing here, can Wood God save you? Rest assured, not only will you not encounter Wood God, but you’ll meet the Poison King instead.”
“Your skin will melt like snow, and finally transform like the decaying mud in a swamp. Your pale bones will similarly turn into nauseating black, your worth is simply to add another entry in the Poison King’s experiment register.”
“And for me, using the 500 thousand from you will allow me to enjoy a dozen more days of indulgence.”
“That’s all it is.”
“Shut your damn mouth!”
Whack! Again a vicious whip landed, the girl’s body recoiled violently in pain, then heavily fell back.
“Hahahaha, we are the Blood Teeth Team, we are the New Humans, we are the future of this galaxy.”
The maddening laugh echoed within the spacious ship cabin.
“Mu Rensheng is going insane again.” Ice-blue eyes watched from across.
“Isn’t this just a true portrayal of us, hehehe.” A pale-faced, grotesquely twisted and terrifying man snickered, his fanged teeth gleaming.
…
If the Rice Field Tavern is a haven for Desperate Men, the fermentation ground for blood and violence.
Then the Maple Leaf Bar is the elegant existence in the ordinary zone, where those who claim to retain conscience love to pose as graceful nobles.
The mentality of comparison, along with a few flaunting uniqueness, is especially favored here.
Only…
“These people are all desperately suppressing their desires.”
Lu Qingxue gently unwrapped her scarf, taking a sip of water before looking around, speaking softly.
“Hmm.”
Mu Fan nodded in agreement, feeling the atmosphere was peculiar.
Two towering men, each wanting to strangle the other, yet exchanging sarcastic remarks over drinks.
Their three glasses already crushed, yet they kept “elegantly” exchanging curses.
For example:
“Jero, may your mother explode on her new native planet.”
“Su Sangqi, you see this bullet? Forging took 27 hours, if possible I’d let it elegantly pierce through your mouth that’s ten thousand times filthier than a sewer.”
“Oh, nicely said, cheers.”
“To your mother.”
…
The two “civilized” and “elegant” men clinked glasses.
Both glasses simultaneously exploded.
“So careless, let’s toast anew for our friendship.”
And so the two anger-fueled men grabbed another glass to toast.
…
Mu Fan wanted to laugh.
But as the buzzing from his pocket began, Mu Fan’s smile froze.
