The First Evolution

Chapter 100: Recruitment

Fang Linyan left the “Three-legged Dog” almost at the speed of running for life. Although the wind and rain were not small outside, he still felt that it was safer to stay outside.

This boss Boozer was really terrifying. When he started to sell the 98K, for some reason, Fang Linyan’s ears could actually hear the passionate and magical shout of “face the wind” (originated from League of Legend’s Yasuo’s voiceline), then he couldn’t help himself to pay up the money.

Fortunately, Fang Linyan got through it with determination!

After leaving the “Three-legged Dog”, Fang Linyan found a place to hide from the rain under the opposite eaves. After waiting for 10 minutes, the rain stopped, but the sky was still terribly gloomy. It seemed to be brewing something.

Fang Linyan continued to wander around the street at this time, then he found a gun shop. At this time, he had no desire to pick up the cheap bargain. After strolling around, he said to the boss,

“I am planning to buy a weapon now, but I want to try which gun is right for me, so I may have to test several weapons and check the accuracy in the shooting range.” Of course, all of this was not free.

Facing Fang Linyan’s request, the boss didn’t feel surprised at all because many people had such requests. Therefore, he told Fang Linyan that he didn’t have such service here, but if Fang Linyan could pay 5 copper coins, he could which shooting range had this service, and it only cost a few hundred copper coins.

According to the boss’s introduction, Fang Linyan came to the address he said. Then, he sighed helplessly and covered his face.

Unexpectedly, after taking a few twists and turns, he finally came back to this place; the shooting range that was officially opened by Iron Fist Brotherhood! Fang Linyan had already tried his best to avoid Iron Fist Brotherhood as much as possible because of the trade, but he didn’t expect to deal with them in the end.

At this time, Fang Linyan thought for a while. I told Markwen that the trade starts 4 hours later, now there is still 1 hour before the agreed trading time.

Even if they realized that Fang Linyan was late, Colonel Gundom would definitely wait for another hour before realizing that he was tricked.

Even if Colonel Gundom realized this, it was not easy to find people in this chaotic Yangfan City. The population here was very mobile. Because of the apocalypse, the household registration ID system was not perfect. After Fang Linyan deliberately changed his outlook, it was as difficult as finding a needle in a haystack.

After all, Colonel Gundom was just a car repair factory director. Even if he was furious, he had few direct resources at his disposal. He couldn’t really let a group of repairmen go to the streets to find someone right!? He could only ask for help with relationship.

But this option was limited. Could Colonel Gundom tell others: there is a fool who agreed to trade his Blood Orchid flower leaves with me, but I got stood up, can you help me find that person?

After saying this, others would immediately use all their resources to find Fang Linyan and hand him over.

But needless to say, they would only hand over the person.

What? Blood Orchid flower leaves? I didn’t even see them!

After weighing the pros and cons, Fang Linyan decided to go to the shooting range to complete the mission. As long as he leaves within one hour, he would be safe. Because according to his own calculations, Markwen and others would only think he was late after 1 hour.

After arriving at the shooting range, Fang Linyan realized that it was quite regular and heavily guarded, and there were a total of 6 exits in the shooting range. The guards could be seen everywhere.

Fang Linyan immediately understood that there must be a large number of contestants who came here to achieve milestones. If the management was lax here, it was inevitable that there would be some people with destructive personalities or violent tendencies causing trouble here. Therefore, such tight security could guarantee the safety of the contestant in the initial stage of exploration. They could rest assured to achieve the milestone.

However, because of this, there were a lot of people queuing in the shooting range. Fang Linyan showed the copper badge that Lieutenant Lucan gave him. Sure enough, this thing could also be used in the official shooting range, so he enjoyed the privilege of skipping the queue.

Then Fang Linyan picked up the gun after paying the money, and he just shot randomly. Not to mention the bullseye, only half of the bullets hit the target. He just looked cool on the surface, but he was a complete rookie.

It was only then that he realized embarrassedly that although he had the basic shooting LV1, he was actually just a rookie. In addition, the weapons of this world were obviously different from those of the previous 811 World, so he could only aim and shoot honestly. However, his action still looked very jerky.

At this time, a tall man in black passed by, glanced at Fang Linyan and suddenly said,

“Newcomer?”

Fang Linyan nodded honestly. The man in black looked a bit vicious, but his tone was very gentle. He patiently told Fang Linyan the difference between guns and the main points of shooting. It wasn’t until a partner urged him several times that he patted Fang Linyan on the shoulder and said,

“Put more effort, stay alive.”

Hearing these words, Fang Linyan looked up in amazement,

“The same to you……..”

The man in black smiled slightly and said,

“You are already good in getting the Iron Fist Brotherhood’s copper badge by yourself. It is worth my investment. Next time I see you, I hope you can be stronger.”

After speaking, he threw a small bag the size of a palm, then he turned and walked away.

Fang Linyan was a little stunned, but he immediately realized that this was actually a very simple reasoning process.

—-When I show my bronze badge, the man should have seen it just now.

—-If I have joined the team or have a fixed companion, I should come with my companion to do the milestone mission. In this way, it can increase security in unfamiliar places, and I can have some guidance on my shitty marksmanship. Therefore, I have a high probability of being a lone wolf or I have a team, but I’m not important.

—–Of course, even if the man in black made a wrong judgment, there is no loss to him, it is just a casual investment by him.

Regardless, Fang Linyan immediately became vigilant and warned himself not to be careless. Now there were contestants hidden everywhere. He had to keep the mentality of walking on thin ice.

After staying for a while, Fang Linyan opened the small bag thrown by the man in black. After opening it, he first discovered that there was a shooting card inside which could be used to exchange 100 rounds of various bullets.

Not only that, there was a platinum coin and a folded paper under the small bag.

There were several addresses written on the paper. The first address was a gun shop, and it specially stated that although the price of the gun here was 20% more expensive than the market, the reliability was very good. The second address was a hotel. The third address was a grocery store. It was clearly written on it that the owner of this grocery store was a supplier of Steel Fist Fortress, so he could receive some missions from time to time. If you are lucky, these missions could even increase the reputation of the Iron Fist Brotherhood.

There was no doubt that the contents of this small bag were very important to the rookie, even if it was Fang Linyan, the contents in it were quite practical to him.

The contact information was written on the back of the paper.

Every night at 8:30, the Old Oak Inn, look for Givens.

After seeing this, Fang Linyan also understood. Givens, the man in black, was obviously an insider. Maybe there was a contractor supporting him. Undoubtedly, he was also a big boss in the presence of the contestants. It seemed like he wanted to recruit Fang Linyan…

At this time, someone in the back screamed impatiently. The people in the queue saw Fang Linyan dazing for 6 minutes, and they were immediately annoyed. They were not well-educated people, so they immediately yelled.

Those who kept order knew that Fang Linyan had a bronze badge, so they quickly stepped forward, took off their belts and whipped them ruthlessly until they bled all over; they got kicked out in the end.

However, after such a disturbance, Fang Linyan continued to practice guns, but the effect was better than before.

What else can I do at this time? Fang Linyan could only brainwash himself repeatedly, emphasizing that this was not his own problem but a gun problem… Finally, he simply outsmarted by moving the target directly toward him, then shot it one by one. Finally, he completed the Gun Lover’s milestone.

Such behavior also caused the people around him to cast contemptuous glances. They thought that this kid was really crazy; he even did such a deceitful thing to himself, but they didn’t know that Fang Linyan was helpless…

Next, Fang Linyan honestly finished the bullets, and he found that the rifle was relatively handy to him. Before he realized it, the basic shooting was successfully promoted to LV2.

When Fang Linyan walked out of the door more than a dozen steps, he suddenly felt that something was wrong. After encountering Givens, he had already heightened his vigilance.

So he checked the back calmly, and he realized that a man wearing a leather cap was following him in a hurry, and his tracking skills were a bit sloppy. Probably because he was only staring at his target, so he accidentally bumped into a stall next to him, making the boss furious and even causing some trouble.

TL: Is this a friend or foe? Will he even join a team though…
