‘Moreover, the White Death God is most likely joining the Bai Hai Mercenary Group this time. Perfect, I’ll get to see whether the other party rose on their own or because of the White Death God Armor.’
‘It’s best to pretend to be inexperienced but with some capability, so the other party might let their guard down somewhat and it won’t be too conspicuous.’
“Mercenary Camp, a neutral force, long time no see.” Wang Wei arrived at the Mercenary Camp, tired and dusty.
“Next, I need to figure out a way to join the Bai Hai Mercenary Group. I remember their next mission is to protect some researchers at a newly-developed D-level sub-dimension, and the White Death God Armor was originally discovered there.”
“It seems the Bai Hai Mercenary Group is regrouping, so this mission must be happening in the next few days.” Wang Wei looked resolute.
“It’s just unclear what exactly happened in the middle.” ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm
“As long as there are no problems, it can basically be said to be stable.” Wang Wei didn’t think too much, but pondered how to enter the mercenary group.
“Having finally come out, I never expected to have wasted so much time. But luckily, the Alliance of All Things isn’t short of this bit of money.” Wang Wei said with a palpitation.
The Bai Hai Mercenary Group quickly sent a reply, wishing to meet with Wang Wei.
The White Death God, a discarded product of some special technology of the GROX Empire, was initially an F-level battle armor according to the intelligence obtained by Wang Wei, not remarkable at all and casually given to the leader of the Bai Hai Mercenary Group by a researcher.
The White Death God was not named for the armor, rather the armor was named after his moniker.
After all, mercenary work isn’t just any job, it involves risking life and blood. If there is an issue with the team members, it might lead to the annihilation of the entire team.
It’s not meant to say that if you take on a mission, they will definitely accept you; it’s a matter of mutual selection.
Of course, during this period a large number of GROX Empire relics are necessary, especially the remaining Galaxy Magic and the Book of Eternity.
Lucky for him to have arrived in time, otherwise he might have really missed it by another ten or fifteen days.
For lords, two thousand years might be long, but for a cosmic scale, it’s really just a moment.
Then he saw another commission for a scientific expedition’s protection, listed for a month already, he knew that this research team’s expedition was to the D-level sub-dimension possessing the White Death God Armor.
The money from selling that sub-dimension was certainly no small amount, since it is an S-level sub-dimension, even though the most important Life Scepter had been taken by him, the sub-dimension itself holds value.
And this doesn’t require his real identity, like some interstellar pirates or wanted criminals, sometimes having multiple mercenary identities—as Wang Wei did in his previous life—some used as front-facing figures, others for intimidation, and yet others for doing unsavory deeds.
Otherwise, relying solely on autonomous evolution, how could such a rapid change be possible?
Though different civilizations have different currencies, there is still an exchange rate, and he carried currency from the Alliance of All Things, naturally accepted universally.
The Mercenary Camp is no minor force but second only to three great powers, and its structure is also very complex. Not only do the three great powers have a stake, but many S-level Transcendents as well.
It didn’t take long for him to find the Bai Hai Mercenary Group, a mercenary group that was established about three years ago. The highest-level warrior is Bai Hai, a D-level Spiritual Ability User; his strength is average.
The group doesn’t have many members, only about thirty people, and their overall strength in the Mercenary Camp is about E-level because most members are E-level and F-level. Although there is a D-level Spiritual Ability User backing them, the overall strength is still insufficient.
It seems a millennium is long, but for all races that have stepped into interstellar civilization, basically, as long as one doesn’t die from accidents or certain fatal diseases, the average lifespan is at least a thousand years, even for ordinary people.
But times have changed, and he was very proficient in registering as a mercenary before he began looking for the Bai Hai Mercenary Group.
It’s a pity that with the current tense situation, otherwise, he would plan to go for the Book of Eternity first. This divine book that records the mysteries of spiritual power of the GROX Empire will only be unearthed a thousand years later; it currently lies in some small library.
Indeed, from the advent to the rampaging and eventual death of the Star God, it spanned over two thousand years. Although he witnessed the rise of the White Death God, he lived a long life, probably because he was a minor character.
Every interstellar civilization had undergone extensive genetic modification and spiritual energy optimization, which not only granted its citizens longer lifespans and stronger bodies but also increased their chances of awakening superpowers or possessing spiritual abilities.
In his previous life, Wang Wei had witnessed the battle of the White Death God, who by that time had fully matured. Coupled with the feedback from battle armor, his growth was incredibly rapid, reaching the new generation’s S Level within just a thousand years, only to later die at the hands of a Star God.
Having been reborn, he had no intention of understanding the economy. When the day of the Star God’s revival came, the economy—a formless, insubstantial thing with no real basis—would collapse, even turning the currency of the three major forces into a bunch of useless codes.
The currency issued by the three major forces was considered the most credible in the entire cosmos, and even some civilizations had been assimilated to become part of its settlement zone.
Though the three major forces had lost, their overall strength was formidable. If not for a large-scale infection of planets leading to a change in cosmic parameters, various physical and spiritual energies would not have shown such massive discrepancies.
Though the onslaught of the Star God was fierce, in reality, from effective resistance to ultimate demise, each civilization had weathered more than fifteen hundred years; it wasn’t a matter of just an hour or half an hour before complete annihilation occurred.
Therefore, even though the true disaster of the Star God was still thousands of years away, as a reincarnator, Wang Wei felt a great sense of urgency.
So, in fact, the registration process was quite simple, not even requiring the collection of anything, just the provision of a badge was sufficient.
Therefore, he naturally needed to quickly convert it into his own strength. He knew that in his previous life, he had intended to save money to get married. But then the Star God was born, rendering the money useless, which nearly drove him to despair, especially since he had earned that money through life-threatening risks.
So Wang Wei knew that the genetic structure of his own body had been outpaced for several generations; it was a disadvantage, not an advantage.
He had to reach S Level within a thousand years to have the capability to confront the entire disaster brought by the Star God.
He remembered that in his previous life, when he finally escaped from an abandoned planet at the age of one hundred and thirty-two, his first act upon registering at the Mercenary Camp was to serve as a bodyguard, although just nominally, to add to the show of force.
Although he was well-prepared, the covert and overt struggles among the three major forces still left him deeply alarmed.
The team leader, unimpressed, casually handed him over to a nondescript new team member, who later became the universe-renowned White Death God.
Wang Wei was unaware of these details. In his previous life, he had been a cosmic mercenary and knew nothing about economics, only that the money of the three major forces was very valuable.
Wang Wei had some money too, but it wasn’t much, as his family had long been rooted in unclaimed territories and thus couldn’t enjoy the benefits available to citizens of interstellar civilizations.
Wang Wei’s gaze flickered, pondering whether to take over but soon denied the idea, instead choosing to apply to join the Bai Hai Mercenary Group.
Even though it was less than before, there was no danger, and actually, this money was enough for him to complete his plans.
Otherwise, it was anyone’s guess who would win or lose.
Because reaching S Level was just the beginning.
Because even if he secured the commission, they wouldn’t hire him—he was just an E Level superpower user. If he were C Level, certainly no problem, but E Level was definitely not enough to pass muster.
Because of being too neutral, it resulted in being excessively impartial.
Because if he were really going to execute the mission, the Bai Hai Mercenary Group was unlikely to meet him, but rather would turn him away since sharpening swords on the eve of battle is quite common, but impromptu recruitment of members without integration could cause problems.
During the times of GROX Empire, this White Death God Armor was indeed obsolete, because, at that time, the GROX Empire had not fully developed it so it was just an F Level battle armor.
He owed much to the help from the Life Scepter, which allowed him to successfully escape the dangerous situation.
This money was actually a significant loss for him. If he had reached S Level, he could have sold it for over ten thousand times the price, but sadly, he had not.
Carrying so much money could likely lead to trouble within just a few days.
What was truly powerful was that the battle armor could grow, even capable of devouring various metals and energy forms to create resistances and various abilities.
