Alright, the main task for now is to avoid players, and after some savings, think about other things. Speaking of which, the official server has been up for four days, and I haven't made a dime...

Chun asked, "What is a mercenary team like?"

The waiter raised a magic crystal screen that looked like a tablet menu: "Sir, you can freely filter, and mercenary ratings range from grade D to grade S..."

Chun was stunned. This setup was just like the hero pool in the old game League of Legends, with handsome men, beautiful women, magical beasts, and robots, and every single S-grade mercenary was a handsome man or beautiful woman!

Chun exclaimed, "Do these S-grade ones have combat power?"

The waitress smiled enchantingly: "Of course they do, and once hired, they can also provide extra services!"

Chun's eyebrows twitched wildly: "What extra services?"

The waitress twisted her posture: "Sir should understand, you get what you pay for~~"

Big Butter, right?! I am not one of those old cadres with such low-level tastes...

Chun asked again, "What about high-difficulty mining areas?"

The waitress switched the menu, and dozens of scenic maps appeared: "These are master-level mining areas..."

Chun suddenly noticed a lava and mud scene. This place is good. My newly obtained Heart of Earth Flame is just in need of this place for nourishing training. I can also practice underwater mining and underwater construction.

"I'll go here!"

The waitress said, "This is a very dangerous Earth Flame Giant mining area, only a full team of S-grade 5 people can minimally qualify, and they can't go deep. If sir doesn't know how to form a team, I can recommend a newbie experience version team, with a 70% discount."

Earth Flame Giant? Dibilon tribe?

Chun got excited, "Can I take a look at the general area here?"

The waitress showed a map, "Here."

Holy shit, this feels like returning home! These are all my own people, why do I need an S-grade team, it's a waste of money!

But what if it's not safe on the road?

Chun decided to test the waters for the first time: "Then please, miss, arrange for me the experience version."

The waitress smiled, "Alright, sir, it's arranged, normally the S-grade mercenary costs 1500 coins per person per day, but the experience version is just 500..."

Chun's scalp tingled, is S-grade really this expensive? Can I really mine back as a master?

The next moment, a list of five people was revealed:

Forward: S-grade Fallen Angel Kasha, Gender: Female, Professional: Fallen Commander, Physician.

Vanguard: S-grade Medusa Medesia, Gender: Female, Professional: Petrification Master.

Damage: S-grade Dark Elf Olka, Gender: Female, Professional: Demolition Expert.

Rear Guard: S-grade Enchanting Demon Aimer, Gender: Female, Professional: Illusionist.

Healing: S-grade Vampire Julia, Gender: Female, Professional: Shadow Priest.

...

Holy shit!

This array of cold, sassy, charming, arrogant, sinister, and mysterious female photos...

Is this still a proper team? Intentionally arranging a girl group for newbies to fall into the trap?

Chun was troubled, "Miss, these are all beauties, can they deal with the Earth Flame Giant?"

The waitress smiled, "Of course, to be responsible for the newbie, this is the strongest, most stable, and most targeted team. Firstly, the choice of healer is essential; the forward is the commander profession, has an aura to accelerate the team's movement, and has flying ability for timely warning and reconnaissance, indispensable frontline, and can form the most stable dual healing combo with the vampire. The Earth Flame Giant itself is an earth attribute, easier to petrify, then can cooperate with the demolition expert for explosive killing. Once the opponent approaches, the illusionist can disrupt and control, and can provide an illusion scene to make the enemy unable to find our position..."

Unexpectedly, outside the five major professions, there are so many other professions, probably not humans can hold such positions.

Chun felt something was off, "Medusa's petrification and Dark Elf's demolition are earth magic, right? Earth Flame Giant has high earth resistance?"

The waitress explained, "Sir, it's a mutual restraint relationship, S-grade mercenaries are stronger than perimeter Earth Flame Giants, so they restrain them. But after going deep and encountering tough Earth Flame Giants, it's the reverse restraint towards S-grade, which is why the team can't go deep!"

Despite this...

Chun still felt that bringing a girl group was too flashy, "Can we replace them with men?"

The waitress was embarrassed, "Replacing people would mean no discount. Plus..."

Saying here, the waitress said mysteriously, "Service... cost extra!"

Holy shit!

Chun was shocked, his scalp exploded, "Just follow the lady's arrangement!"

The waitress smiled, "Alright, the mercenary guild has been contacted, the team will be in place immediately. Moreover, let's discuss the loan and lease of magic energy minecart—"

Chun exclaimed, "Lease minecart?"

"Of course, this is a far master-level mining area, it's not like the nearby city safety zones with mine tracks and public minecarts. Plus, it's too dangerous, ordinary goblin minotaur cart pushers don't accept employment, need to use magic energy hovering minecart..."

Sounds expensive with high-tech?

Chun asked, "Can the mercenary help me push the cart?"

The waitress smiled, "Of course not, if mercenaries push the cart, it breaks industry regulations, takes the business from cart pushers, also affects the leasing of magic energy minecarts. Furthermore, there are no roads, regular carts can't be pushed, must hover. Additionally, if the minecart is damaged by attacks, sir has to compensate for repair costs, and if destroyed, full compensation is required..."

"How much is the cost of the magic energy minecart?"

"One day for one cart is 3000 Mining Coins, since it's your first business, still a 70% discount, and at most can rent three carts, so I can suggest sir to rent three carts at once, usually a master-level day fills up three carts."

Three carts a day? But I am dual wielding mining.

Chun finally had a concept of the efficiency of the master level, "Then three carts it is."

"Alright sir, next talk about the arrangement of outdoor food loan..."

Chun was surprised, "I can eat whatever I want!"

The waitress smiled, "But they need to eat, they are prestigious S-grade mercenaries. If the food is poor and unsatisfactory..."

Intentionally let monsters smash my cart, make me pay full compensation, right?

Okay, consider it as seeing how much economic ability a master level has.

"Miss, go ahead and arrange."

The waitress smiled, "Of course, I won't arrange it, every mercenary's dietary preferences are registered. If sir develops any interests or affections during the journey, we can also offer more gift and accommodation information arrangements..."

You hurry up enough is enough!

Finally, after handling all business, the five mercenaries gathered at the door.

Chun was truly shocked, this blend of strength and beauty... indeed was far more advanced than the street's high-quality ones, even not much inferior compared to the Five Great City Beauties!

But Chun's first reaction was to a particular story's property security advertisement, before delivery, each one is a strong, retired military king. After delivery, they've all become fifty or sixty-year-olds' Old Deng! So, this experience version is probably truly the strongest front-end!

Chun found they were all long-legged, "Which one is Medusa?"

A beauty dressed in green with a rear curtain, wearing an eye patch, twisted her snake-like waist, laughed and hugged forward: "Boss, I am Medusa Medesia. If the boss likes my other form, I can show you immediately."

Coming in like this... Holy shit, my little angel at half-human height, this height difference is simply teacher-student!

Chun hurriedly stopped, "Just like this is fine! So, can we set off?"

The waitress said, "Sir's supplies are already prepared on the minecart. With the Fallen Angel leading the team, this journey will take about 2 hours, if sir finds walking tiring, you can also rest in the minecart, which can offer some degree of safety protection..."

There is a journey time, I'm exhausted!

"I'll rest directly in the minecart."
