When confirming that Ling Feng did not have a mercenary card, the owner of the store could only say that he would definitely not be able to come up with so much cash. Only by digging the account can he pay such a large transaction.

Under Ling Feng's question, the owner of the store explained to Ling Feng what a mercenary card is with an incredible look. To put it bluntly, it is similar to the bank card on earth. However, there is no such advanced electronic instruments and equipment in the ancient continent. It uses magic, and the confidentiality measures are much stronger than bank cards and are convenient to use. Because the materials of the mercenary card themselves have magical attributes, even swordsmen can operate it. The account can be transferred directly between individuals.

At first, it was because people of the profession of mercenaries carried too much cash and were not safe. Moreover, their tasks were mostly linked to money and moved between countries on the mainland all year round. For example, I received an escort task in Shami Town, and only after I arrived at the destination could I get remuneration from the local mercenary union. In order to facilitate payment, the mercenary union in the mainland issued mercenary cards. As a result, it became popular on the mainland because of its simplicity and effectiveness and was accepted by most people. Even now, as long as it is a large amount of transactions, this simple transfer method is adopted.

Moreover, any mercenary union can withdraw cash when it is stuck in any mercenary union, because mercenary union exists in all cities in the continent, which is one of the reasons why mercenary cards can become widely popular.

After all, who would like to bring sacks of gold coins to the street when buying things?

As for most poor people, they are still used to trading in cash. At least, the cost of mercenary cards is several gold coins, which is not something they can afford.

After Ling Feng knew this, he was very embarrassed about his situation. Of course, the owner of the store was already so kind, so he would not stimulate Ling Feng at this time. Instead, he told him that the mercenary union next to the pawnshop of "Miaoyuan" could apply for a mercenary card. So, under the leadership of the owner of the store, Ling Feng entered the mercenary union for the first time.

Although it was already dark at this time and the pedestrians on the street became sparse, the door of the Mercenary Union was obviously not affected by darkness. No matter where in a city or when, the Mercenary Union was always lively. To put it simply, it means that it is open all day long.

The main entrance of the union is made of huge stones, which looks gloomy and solemn. There are many huge magic crystals embedded on both sides, emitting dazzling light. Ling Feng knew that magic crystals are a stone that can store magic power and emit dazzling light at night. People on the mainland often use it to illuminate it. However, although magic crystals are not precious, they are not affordable to ordinary families. The huge magic crystals are generally only used by nobles.

Now the mercenary union puts them at the door to light them, which shows the wealth of the mercenary union.

Ling Feng followed the owner of the store into the spacious hall. The hall was very lively and the space inside was very large. On one side was a bar, with bright lights and wine, and there were many mercenaries sitting in groups of three or five, including magicians and swordsmen. Ling Feng had a moment and felt as if he was in an alternative wild bar on earth.

This area is obviously a place to provide rest and regulate the mood for the Mercenary Gate.

In the middle, facing the gate, magic mirrors are used to issue some new tasks and some latest news from the ancient continent. Ling Feng took a casual look and found that there was news about the orc empire far north of the ancient continent. It really makes people sigh that the spread of news in this world is no worse than the modern communication on the earth. The communication channel is undoubtedly dominated by mercenary unions and all mercenaries are coached. Each mercenary union always has information exchange with mercenaries in the country or megacity every day, thus collide with information from various places in the continent. Therefore, as long as the news is shocking, even if you are in the easternmost part of the continent today, there will be people from the West to know your deeds tomorrow.

Of course, if the news is not shocking enough, the spreading speed will not be so fast.

On the other side of the Mercenary Union, it seemed a little empty and deserted. Ling Feng saw several windows placed here, which read "Level Evaluation Office", "Adventurer Registration Office", "Mercenary Group Registration Office", "Task Revocation Office", "Task Response Office" and so on. I guess the mercenary card was applied for in this direction.

Sure enough, the owner of the store walked towards a window and shouted to an old man inside: "Old man, I'm bringing you business, help me get a mercenary card for this gentleman."

"Oh, you old guy, would you actually bring someone to apply for a mercenary card?" In the window was an old man about the same age as the owner of the store. The two of them were obviously familiar with each other.

"What's so strange about this? This is a big customer." The owner of the store said exaggeratedly.

The old man looked at Ling Feng, obviously not convinced. But after the store owner came to his ear and whispered something, his eyes stared at Ling Feng and a curious light began to flash.

Ling Feng could have heard what the owner of the store said. He sighed again in his heart that the charm of the magic core was so great. So with the old man's very polite attitude, he got his own mercenary card. It was very light and simple, with the icon of the mercenary union. The owner of the store asked Ling Feng to drop a small drop of blood on the mercenary card, so this card became a mercenary card that Ling Feng could only use by himself.

Ling Feng inputted a trace of true energy and explored it and found that the card was full of restrictions, which could only be broken, but could not be unlocked. If it were not forcibly broken by the user, the card would be useless. At that time, you can use your own identity to go to the Mercenary Union to reissue one. This should be the security measure for the Mercenary Card.

Next, the owner of the store carefully drew 1,150 crystal coins from his card to Ling Feng's card, then exchanged a few greetings, and then said goodbye and left. He needed to report this cost-effective transaction to the owner.

Ling Feng withdraws a crystal coin cash from the old man and exchanges it for some gold coins, silver coins and copper coins. He gives the old man five gold coins, which is the money to apply for a mercenary card.

Later, when the old man heard that Ling Feng was not a mercenary, he was very surprised and enthusiastically invited him to register as a mercenary. Because any mercenary can get some latest news for free in any mercenary union. Of course, in addition to spreading a wide range of public information, many messages are distributed according to the level. For example, if you are a B-level mercenary, you can get any information below B-level. If you want to obtain A-level news, you can only spend money to buy it.

The level of a mercenary and the strength level of a warrior are completely determined by the points of the mercenary completing the task. From high to low, there are eight levels: S, A, B, C, D, E, F, and G. Points are determined based on the difficulty of the tasks you undertake. The more tasks you complete, the more points you accumulate. On the contrary, if the task fails, the corresponding points need to be deducted. When your points accumulate to the point where you can upgrade, you can advance.

The only difference between a mercenary group and a mercenary is that it has a large number of people, and it is a group. In the eyes of some senior mercenaries, mercenaries with a single or a few people are called adventurers. Only teams with more than tens of or hundreds of thousands of people at the level are qualified mercenary groups.

Mercenary tasks are also published according to eight levels. Only mercenaries of the corresponding level can be taken with corresponding levels. For example, B-level tasks can only be taken with B-level or B-level or above.

Of course, if the customer wants, low-level mercenaries can also be taken over.

Ling Feng thought about it and felt that registering a mercenary number would at least be more convenient for his actions, so he happily went to the "Adventurer Registration Office". As a result, when the aunt in the registration office asked him for a certificate of professional level, Ling Feng felt embarrassed again. Fortunately, he remembered that there was a window for the "Level Evaluation Office". Ling Feng spent five silver coins to get a level certificate with the "First-level Intern Swordsman".

The aunt in the registration office looked at Ling Feng with a strange look, full of love, and thought to herself: Such a big man is still a first-level swordsman, and she doesn't even have a sword on her body. It's really hard for the world.

No wonder the aunt in the registration office was wrongly thought. Although this is a town-level mercenary union in Shami Town, at least all levels of swordsmen can be evaluated below the sixth level. People on the mainland regard the strong as the most respected, and they often try their best when evaluating. Therefore, this aunt would never have thought that Ling Feng just casually dealt with the junior swordsman who was evaluating him, and then came back in a hurry, without even paying attention to the appearance of the other person.

Then, because Ling Feng was the lowest-level first-level swordsman, he only paid some fees, got a red mercenary certificate, and officially registered as a G-level adventurer.
