Chapter 28 Hitting a wall

 When adventuring in the star realm, team formation is the mainstream.

 The recruitment center is the place where the team recruits members. It is opened by the ADC's alien guild. It is politically neutral and does not lean towards any country.

The largest recruitment center is on Earth, a virtual cyberspace.

Most hunting teams and astral exploration groups will publish announcements in the recruitment center.

Yiren can also register and edit their own information, just like a public resume, for anyone to view, hoping to be favored by large companies and groups, tap their potential, and sign contracts for training.

However, most of this work is done on Earth.

Olympia does not have the convenience and efficiency of the Internet, but there are hundreds of recruitment centers. Generally, the team will recruit here when there is a temporary shortage of talents. In addition to recruitment centers, hotels, hotels and bars where aliens gather sometimes also serve as recruitment venues.

In addition, some teams that break the law, have shady identities, or engage in underground tasks are unwilling to leave traces online and will recruit people in Olympia.

Ji Xinghuo is one of the aliens whose identity is more troublesome.

 He cannot sign a formal contract, so all the registered teams formed by companies and large groups have missed out.

This recruitment center is like a restaurant.

Ji Xinghuo walked into the hall and glanced around. Dozens of tables were arranged neatly. Half of them were already full of people. Different people were sitting around the tables. Some were drinking and some were eating. They were talking while eating and drinking. The atmosphere was... Quite enthusiastic.

On the walls around the hall, there are whiteboards with markers written on them. The handwriting can be large or small, but the content has a certain format.

“We are urgently recruiting an iron guard, senior level or above, temporary mission, loot principle plus an additional reward of 100,000. If you are interested, please come to table 20 to discuss.”

“Looking for shooters, long-term cooperation, at least intermediate level, table 17.”

 “Long-term recruitment of wizards, intermediate level, table 8.”

“Come for a super fast ride, the salary is negotiable, please contact our store lobby manager for details.”

 “Recruiting white knights…”

The text on the whiteboard may be long or short, but they all concisely list key information, career templates, ranks, whether it is a temporary task or a long-term cooperation, salary, contact information, etc.

Ji Xinghuo sat down at an empty table.

He ordered one of Olympia City's special dishes, then slowly looked at the whiteboard on the wall, while listening to the chatter of other people in the hall.

 The recruitment information is similar.

Ji Xinghuo looked at part of it and discovered that the two most sought-after professions were.

 One is those with healing capabilities, such as white knights, plant witches, and black bishops; the other is shooters, with rangers and stalkers being more common, and mechanics using steam rifles also having powerful long-range attack power.

These two types of aliens are very rare, but they are indispensable roles in the team.

However…

Ji Xinghuo felt a little helpless. Almost every recruitment information on the whiteboard required intermediate level, which was the lowest level requirement.

 And I am just a junior.

Although he believes that his strength is no less than that of an intermediate alien, and he has even shot a super alien, others don't know about it and can't tell him.

 At this time, the waiter brought the set meal.

Ji Xinghuo continued to check the recruitment information on the wall while eating.

 In addition to the recruitment information released by the team, there are also some strangers who have written down their occupations, abilities and past achievements, waiting for the team to find them.

The strength of this type of alien is either very strong, at least high-level, or they have rare professions and are very popular.

 When Ji Xinghuo finished eating, he read all the recruitment boards.

 But none of them meet the requirements.

"It seems that I can only recommend myself." Ji Xinghuo was not surprised by this. After all, the junior alien's strength was still a little behind.

 He stood up and walked to a table not far away, where four people were sitting, three men and one woman.

Ji Xinghuo noticed them when they were eating just now. There was their recruitment information on the wall. They needed a shooter and required an intermediate level.

"Hello."

Ji Xinghuo noticed as soon as he got close to the other party that a man who was obviously the captain stood up.

He is very tall, carrying a heavy two-handed sword on his back, but he does not wear armor, but a fiber combat uniform that is not very defensive. He had a smile on his face, but his eyes were very sharp, as if they could pierce people's hearts, causing an inexplicable sense of oppression.

Ji Xinghuo could tell before he came over that this man was a high-ranking black bishop.

The Black Bishop not only has the ability to heal injuries, but is also very powerful. His attack power is no less than that of a giant general, and his overall combat effectiveness is extremely high.

“Hello.” The man asked with a smile, “Are you here to apply for a job?”

 The three strangers at the table all looked over.

"Yes." Ji Xinghuo nodded and introduced himself: "I am a ranger. I should be able to meet your recruitment requirements."

The black-clothed bishop looked him up and down, frowning slightly, "What is your rank?"

"Elementary." Ji Xinghuo answered truthfully, and immediately added: "My strength is definitely not inferior to any intermediate ranger, you can test it..."

Before he could finish his words, the black bishop interrupted.

"Young man, our team only needs intermediate-level shooters and above. This is the most basic requirement." The black bishop was obviously not interested in listening to Ji Xinghuo's next words and said lightly: "And we don't want novices, sorry." After that, he started again. He sat down and turned his head.

His three teammates also shook their heads and were unwilling to talk more.

"excuse me."

Ji Xinghuo could only turn around and leave. After taking two steps, a contemptuous laugh came from behind.

 He just pretended not to hear.

 Next, Ji Xinghuo contacted several teams that needed shooters, but without exception, the other team immediately rejected him as soon as they heard that he was a junior alien.

Even though Ji Xinghuo has repeatedly emphasized that his strength is far superior to that of junior aliens, no team is willing to give him a chance.

 On the contrary, he was ridiculed several times.

Ji Xinghuo knew exactly what the problem was. In addition to being of a low rank, the equipment on my body is too new and there are no traces of battle. Others can tell at a glance that I am a novice.

 A rookie, just a junior alien.

 Joining the team will not only delay you, but may also cost you your life, and the entire team will be implicated.

Ji Xinghuo left this recruitment center and headed to the next one.

 Throughout the starry night, he changed to five recruitment centers and several hotels and bars, but he repeatedly ran into obstacles and no team was willing to accept him.

However, Ji Xinghuo was not discouraged.

 The next day.

Ji Xinghuo went out at dawn. From day to starry night, he visited more than a dozen recruitment centers for more than thirty hours, but still got no results.

 He recommended himself everywhere in the past two days, and many people regarded it as a joke, and the news spread in several nearby blocks.

 A few times, I was rejected by the other party before I even opened my mouth.

Ji Xinghuo came out of a recruitment center and looked at the mechanical watch. There were still two hours until the starry night passed and it would enter the dark night.

"eat first."

 He could have eaten at the recruitment center, but the mocking looks from others kept coming, which really turned off his appetite.

 Walking into the restaurant next to him, Ji Xinghuo sat down and looked at the stars outside the window, and couldn't help but sigh.

 “Am I going to be a loner?”

 His mind became active.

 In fact, although loners are relatively rare, they are not very rare.

The aliens who dare to wander, take risks, and hunt alone in the star realm are all the best among aliens, and their strength is far superior to aliens of the same level.

 The more powerful the alien is, the more he likes to act alone.

 But in the early stage, when the strength is still very low, it is best for aliens to form a team. Even those powerful aliens had to join the team when they first entered the star world. Most of the aliens who were alone from the beginning died.

 Ji Xinghuo is very confident in himself.

As long as you are careful and don’t leave too far from areas developed by humans or enter high-risk areas, you should be fine.

But be afraid of anything unexpected.

 He has watched a lot of videos on Earth and learned a lot of knowledge.

Wild survival skills, astral geography, camp selection, animal and plant identification, hunting skills and details, astral alien customs, exotic species collection, etc., and also mastered three astral languages. Everything that needs to be seen and learned has been done. .

 But that’s just talk on paper.

 In actual practice, various unexpected and unknown situations will inevitably occur.

  If you have the guidance of an experienced senior and the help of teammates around you, you will not only progress faster, but also be safer.

Ji Xinghuo didn’t want to die at a young age.

 “There are two options now.”

While eating the food, he thought, "I will continue to look for a team tomorrow, but I have to move to another part of the city. If there is still no team that wants me after ten days, then I won't go out, and I will train in Olympia and be promoted to the intermediate level." Stranger."

“Or, spend money to hire a team to hunt in relatively safe areas around Olympia, and accumulate enough experience before acting alone.”

 “I’ll make a decision in ten days…”

Ji Xinghuo suddenly noticed something and turned to look at the door.

 A figure came in from the door of the restaurant. From the slim and strong figure, it could be seen that it was a woman.

She is over 1.7 meters tall and wears a common women's combat uniform. A loose top covers the undergarment, and her curves cannot be seen. Her lower body is a half-tailed skirt that is short in the front and long in the back. She wears trousers underneath and a pair of combat boots on her feet. Long boots, but it doesn't prevent her from showing that she has slender calves.

She wore a cloth hat on her head, with a layer of fine gauze hanging from the edge, blocking the left, right and back directions, leaving only a gap in the front.

 But Ji Xinghuo couldn't see her whole picture.

 Because her face was covered with a green scarf, covering most of her face, even her neck was covered tightly, only a pair of eyes were exposed.

 Dressing up like this is not uncommon in Olympia. Many people don’t want others to see their appearance, especially women. This can reduce a lot of trouble.

 However, Ji Xinghuo just looked into these eyes and was shocked.

The eyes are the windows of the soul.

Eyes are also the soul of a person’s appearance. They can convey complex emotions far beyond vision, and sometimes speak better than the mouth.

Ji Xinghuo also noticed that there was a blooming peach blossom between her eyebrows.

Five pink petals surround the cyan stamens, which are lifelike and add a bit of charm to these beautiful eyes.

 “This should be an external manifestation of some kind of superpower.”

Ji Xinghuo guessed in his mind and couldn't help but think, "She should be a big beauty. Of course, it is also possible that she is not good-looking. Just like ordinary people will look better if they wear a mask, I figured out the 'partial information effect'."

 He immediately looked away after reading it.

 One is because it is impolite.

 Second, the magnetic field induction found that this woman was very powerful and must be a super alien.

And it is far better than all the super aliens, much more powerful than the super aliens I have seen in the past few days.

 This kind of person cannot be offended.

Ji Xinghuo turned around and was about to continue eating when he suddenly realized that the other party seemed to be coming towards him.

He couldn't help but stop his chopsticks and watched her walk to his table and sit down opposite. A gentle voice came from under the scarf: "Mr. Ji, are you looking for the team?"
