I have an Apocalypse City Chapter 1050

Chapter 1050: Chapter 1052: Recruitment_1 Chapter 1050: Chapter 1052: Recruitment_1 Seeing Song Jian walk out, the one-eyed Dan Slave burst into laughter, “Yet another newbie who isn't afraid of death. How many does that make this month? The fifth, or the sixth? Kid, Scorching Gorge is no place for little children like you.”

The other adventurers in the bar glanced at Song Jian and chuckled as well. Without employing the Thousand Swords Art, Song Jian appeared to be a young man who had just stepped into second-tier Combat Power. He might be considered quite strong outside, but in this bar, with so many others at the Second-tier Strength Peak and third-tier strength, naturally, they didn't take Song Jian seriously.

Even Duo Tuo Luo frowned as he sized up Song Jian, and after staring at him for a long while, he said, “Do you have a mission to enter Scorching Gorge?”

Song Jian nodded with a smile, without offering an explanation, and Duo Tuo Luo also wouldn't let him disclose his mission in public. After hesitating for a moment, Duo Tuo Luo nodded and said, “Fine, you're in! But if I find out you're lagging behind on the road, I'll not hesitate to leave you behind…”

“No problem!” Song Jian readily agreed.

Duo Tuo Luo nodded, gestured for Song Jian to come forward, then looked back into the bar, “Anyone else wants to earn some money? Seven days, even if the mission is unsuccessful, you'll get a hundred thousand Doomsday Coins. I'm only waiting five minutes…”

A few minutes later, two more adventurers stood up; one was at level eighty, at the peak of second-tier strength, and the other was at level ninety-seven, with third-tier strength.

Compared to Song Jian, these two appeared much stronger on the surface and were naturally selected by Duo Tuo Luo without hesitation.

“Mi Gao!” the second-tier peak individual introduced himself after glancing at the third-tier strength person.

The one with third-tier Combat Power looked at Mi Gao and slowly nodded, “Hao Dahai!”

Neither of them looked towards Song Jian, nor did they show any interest in making his acquaintance, as if Song Jian were invisible and non-existent.

Song Jian didn't mind and stood quietly behind Duo Tuo Luo. Five minutes later, Duo Tuo Luo left the bar without a word.

As the bar's door closed, Duo Tuo Luo scanned the three members and said, “If you have any consumables, you need to mention them now. Once we're in Scorching Gorge, there won't be a chance to restock!”

“I have ample consumables,” said Hao Dahai calmly. “If I need to use anything, I will say so in advance. We can just settle it with Doomsday Coins.”

Upon hearing Hao Dahai's words, Duo Tuo Luo's face lit up with pleasure as he turned his gaze towards Mi Gao.

“I am a Gunsmith, and I'll need about three thousand Doomsday Coins for regular ammunition and two thousand for special ammo!” said Mi Gao, scratching his head and seeming somewhat embarrassed. “Reimbursement after the mission is over is also fine!”

Duo Tuo Luo took out a chunk of Doomsday Coins, counted out five thousand, and handed them to Mi Gao, saying, “Stock up more. We'll be going deep into Scorching Gorge this time, and I expect frequent combat. There aren't any ammo shops out there to restock! If you run through a lot, we'll reimburse you after the mission is complete!”

Mi Gao's face showed a hint of pleasure as he took the Doomsday Coins and nodded repeatedly, “Give me ten minutes, I'm going to buy some more ammo.”

Having said that, Mi Gao turned and dashed towards an ammunition shop.

Song Jian smiled faintly. A profession like the Gunsmith, known for its formidable long-range attack prowess, was similar to the Musketeer profession he had the option to choose at level ten. They boast strong ranged attacks but also have the greatest expenditures.

After a battle, it's very possible that the spoils of war wouldn't even cover the cost of the ammo used, so Gunsmiths, whether they are players or adventurers, are often in a financial bind.

Duo Tuo Luo was well aware of the characteristics of Mi Gao's Gunsmith profession, which is why he readily advanced some expenses without hesitation.

Seeing Mi Gao leave, Duo Tuo Luo's gaze turned to Song Jian and he asked, “What about you, kid, do you need any consumables to stock up on in advance?”

Song Jian slowly shook his head and said, “No need!”

Upon hearing this, Duo Tuo Luo's face immediately showed a trace of disappointment. He knew that apart from professions like Musketeers and archers that required ammunition, other professions needing consumables meant they had mastered a potent skill. Many powerful skills required special consumables, which were quite valuable but only useful to the user himself. Other professions, even if they obtained them, could only sell them as sundries to the system store.

“What profession are you?” Duo Tuo Luo became increasingly disappointed with Song Jian, and his attitude turned somewhat surly as he directly inquired.

Song Jian, not minding at all, answered, “Sword Master!”

Duo Tuo Luo frowned slightly. He hadn't heard of this profession, but it should be a type of swordsman, probably a melee profession.

“Melee profession, at the very least, can be used as cannon fodder…” Duo Tuo Luo thought to himself.

After giving Song Jian a once-over, Duo Tuo Luo suddenly felt something was strange. It took him a while to finally realize that the man claiming to be a Sword Master had no weapons on him at all.

“You, where is your weapon?” Duo Tuo Luo couldn't help but ask. If it had been Mi Gao or Hao Dahai, Duo Tuo Luo wouldn't have been so direct in asking, as it pertained to personal privacy.

“Right here!” Song Jian seemed utterly unconcerned as he extended his right hand and directly summoned the Sky-breaking Sword from within his dantian. At this time, the Sky-breaking Sword was still in the nurturing stage, looking like a crystal clear ball of liquid with a metallic luster rolling around in the palm of Song Jian's hand.

“This, this is your weapon?” Duo Tuo Luo had an expression that said “I don't read much, don't lie to me,” looking like he had swallowed something indescribable.

“A Spiritual Weapon?” Hao Dahai's eyes lit up, staring at the metallic liquid in Song Jian's hand, unable to resist saying.

“Right, your weapon can be stored inside your body, it's a Spiritual Weapon!” Duo Tuo Luo slapped his thigh, his face showing a look of sudden realization. His gaze toward Song Jian softened substantially.

It was well-known that even fighters at the third-tier strength peak didn't own a Spiritual Weapon of their own, let alone someone like Song Jian who had just stepped into the second tier of combat power.

“You're really lucky!” Envy appeared in Duo Tuo Luo's eyes. Such weapons that could be stored inside one's body couldn't be obtained through strength alone; it required tremendous luck to find.

Moreover, these Spiritual Weapons were bonded to their owner. Once someone acquired one, even if they were killed, the Spiritual Weapon wouldn't drop; it would only be destroyed along with its owner. Therefore, seeing someone with a Spiritual Weapon, others would feel envy rather than malicious intent.

Hao Dahai couldn't help but interject, “Yeah, you're really lucky. A Spiritual Weapon… even a legendary-level elder in my family has always dreamed of obtaining one but never could…”

Song Jian gave a slight smile and took the Sky-breaking Sword back, as it was still in the spirit-fusing stage and wasn't suited for prolonged exposure.

“I, I'm back!” Mi Gao ran over breathlessly, his body covered with ammunition chain mail. A Musketeer's ammunition could be carried on the body if it couldn't fit in the inventory, although it would increase the load, reduce mobility, and consume a lot of physical strength.

Seeing that Duo Tuo Luo and Hao Dahai's attitudes toward Song Jian had clearly improved, Mi Gao scratched his head in confusion and asked, “Did I, did I miss something…”

“Nothing, let's go. We're going to join up with the main force!” Duo Tuo Luo turned and walked toward the south gate of Fengming City, loudly saying, “We're pressed for time. If anyone falls behind, we won't wait for you, so hurry up…”
