29. Chapter 29: Brigade Leader
Chi Yao calmed down and began to recall: "He was able to block the door of the exclusive room, and he was wearing a fur collar coat. The most important thing was that iconic metal mask."
Slowly sorting out the information, Chi Yao came to a conclusion that he never dared to think of: "Is that the brigade commander?!"
"Why would the captain come to me? I just passed the trial world?" Chi Yao was very confused.
But if he really is the captain, then I probably won't be able to escape. It is said that Gollum in the original book was caught by the captain, beaten several times, and then dragged into the brigade.
"Take a deep breath, calm down, and believe in yourself." Chi Yao said to himself, and after he strengthened his heart, he opened the door with a fearless attitude.
The figure was still there, holding a pocket watch. When he saw Chi Yao open the door again, a gleam of light flashed in his deep eyes, and then he stopped the pocket watch.
Watching the leader's actions, Chi Yao had a bad feeling, as if he was seen through, but he remained calm and said, "Hello? What can I do for you?"
"Aren't you going to invite me in to talk?" The captain put away his pocket watch and stared at Chi Yao.
"Please come in. I haven't arranged the furniture yet, so it's a little simple." Chi Yao said stiffly and made room for him.
[Hint: Hunter, you have invited??? to enter the exclusive room]
"Well, let's be frank, Chi Yao, you are the successor of the Face of Unfortunate Life, right? Ruifei and I are old friends." said the team leader.
"??? Are you sure he's an old friend? I just inherited the position and the captain came to my door right after! Why do I feel that the one seeking revenge is so active?" Chi Yao complained in his heart.
But on the surface, Chi Yao remained calm and said, "Yes, I inherited the face of bad luck."
The brigade leader faced Chi Yao, staring at him with a pair of deep pupils.
"I am the leader of the Phantom Troupe."
"I came here today for two purposes. One is to check your luck and basic passive ability. I have just checked it."
"Second, I will provide you with some assistance. You have to join the Phantom Troupe."
"What kind of help?" Chi Yao immediately agreed to the conditions for joining the brigade. Since he couldn't refuse anyway, he might as well ask how big the benefits would be.
The leader reached into his coat and pulled out five scrolls, saying, "You can choose any one, but based on your abilities and profession, I recommend this one."
There are five scrolls, from left to right: Sword Specialization, Fence Specialization, Spear Specialization, Dagger Specialization, and Scythe Specialization.
The one recommended by the team leader is the one on the far right, which is the war sickle specialization.
"War sickle?" Chi Yao was a little surprised, because his original idea was still swordsmanship.
"That's right. Only by specializing in one thing can you become stronger." The team leader reminded.
"The ability to kill? Can it be used in conjunction with the Mystic Death Eyes?" Chi Yao muttered to himself, realizing what the captain was referring to.
"Well, that's it. There's one last thing." The captain said, taking out the pocket watch.
"Aren't there two purposes?" Chi Yao's premonition of excitement suddenly reached its peak, and he kept urging himself to run! Run!
"That's the normal process, if you didn't reject me."
"Let me see, exactly 2 minutes. Go to the trial field and let me teach you some fighting skills." The captain looked at the time on the pocket watch and smiled faintly.
But to Chi Yao, this smile was inexplicably creepy.
The leader seemed to have used his teleportation authority to teleport the two to the trial field.
No one knew what methods the team leader used, but in just two minutes, Chi Yao felt like he was living a year in a day, and he could be said to be "tortured".
"Bang!" The crisp sound means a good start.
At the last moment of the countdown, the team leader knocked Chi Yao unconscious.
A residual soul emerged from the unlucky necklace. It was Ruifei.
Looking at Chi Yao who was beaten up, Rui Fei was gloating: "You controlled your strength well, but why are you in such a hurry to find me?"
"Are you really dead?" The captain was a little surprised.
"What nonsense are you talking about? Not to mention my current state of a residual soul, have you forgotten that there can only be one person who possesses the Face of Unfortunate Fortune at the same time? Seeing that Chi Yao has inherited it, can't you think of it?" Rui Fei asked back.
"You succeeded." The leader said briefly.
"Of course I succeeded, otherwise I wouldn't be in this state now." Ruifei said frankly.
"."There was a moment of silence.
"It's okay, I'll go back first." Ruifei curled his lips.
"Okay." The captain responded, watching Ruifei's remaining soul disappear into the unmanned necklace.
Then, the leader looked at Chi Yao who was lying unconscious on the ground, teleported him back to the exclusive room, applied for the restoration of the park for him, paid the full amount and left the trial field. (This is the difference in character.JPG)

When Chi Yao woke up, he found himself lying in the exclusive room, and beside him was a brigade number 13.
Chi Yao first put the number away and planned to improve himself first. After thinking it over, he did not choose to cover his appearance.
Chi Yao said: Are you afraid of being in trouble in the real world? What a joke. If you can find a little information about me in the real world, I will give you 1,000 Paradise Coins. No, 100 Paradise Coins. Saving is a virtue.
Walking out of the trial field, all kinds of strange-shaped buildings appeared before our eyes. Some were made of metal, some were built of bricks and stones, and some seemed to be formed by some kind of creatures, with liquid oozing from their surface from time to time.
These peculiar buildings are arranged together to form streets.
Looking up into the sky, the top of the Samsara Paradise is covered with a milky white film, like an inverted bowl, covering the entire Samsara Paradise.
The ground of the park is a light yellow gelatinous substance, flat and somewhat flexible.
People dressed differently were walking on the streets, some in medieval armor style, some in wizard style, and some in modern two-dimensional style.
An inexplicably familiar three-part hawking routine.
"White 6-rated firearm, 700 Paradise Coins, poor guy, get lost."
"5% life recovery potion, 1,000 Paradise Coins, 20% off for three or more bottles."
"I want a lot of money to protect you, Master. I'm going to go to Level 3 in the next world, and the price is negotiable."
Especially the last one, which aroused Chi Yao's interest. Isn't he a wizard? Why not ask the price?
Chi Yao walked up to the contractor who was asking for help, looked at his frail appearance, and asked, "A large sum of money? How much are you willing to pay?"
Seeing Chi Yao's confident demeanor, the contractor believed it a little and said weakly, "2,000 Paradise Coins?"
"Are you sure you want to hire a wizard?" Chi Yao was a little surprised. The market price was so low?
"At most 4,000 Paradise Coins!" The contractor reported his bottom line.
"Forget it. See you again if we're lucky." After a brief understanding, Chi Yao lost interest and turned to leave.
Continuing forward, Chi Yao discovered the famous mascot - Xi Luo Luo, and chose to go forward to trade information.
After all, the original book only gave a side description of the park's situation, and the actual information about the park is more comprehensive from information obtained from the employees.
"How about it? Do you want to make a deal with me? I'll pay you 50 Paradise Coins, and you'll give me the basic information of the Samsara Paradise." Chi Yao said.
Xi Luoluo was a little confused when her lines were suddenly snatched away, but there was naturally no reason to refuse the business that came to her door, and Chi Yao looked like a harmless and innocent student.
Xi Luoluo took out a transparent tablet and handed it to Chi Yao.
The above is the basic information of the park:
There are two most common types of people in the Samsara Paradise. The first type is the contractor, and the other type is the worker like Xi Luo Luo.
The contractors often need to perform dangerous tasks, but the employees are different. They are service personnel in the Samsara Paradise, either selling goods or working in service industries such as catering.
The workers are the contractors who were eliminated because of the failure in the first world mission. Without these workers, the contractors would have problems getting food.
You should know that the Samsara Paradise does not provide functions such as exchange, and these workers are needed for daily needs.
One advantage of being an employee is that you only need to enter the derivative world once every two months.
The area of the Samsara Paradise is very vast. No one has ever counted its population, but it is definitely over 100,000 people.
The reason why no one has kept statistics is because the mortality rate of the contractors in the Samsara Paradise is extremely high.
According to the information provided by Xi Luoluo, the death rate of the contractors in the first world is 80%, in the second world it is 60%, and in the third world it is 50%. There is a long list behind it, but Chi Yao did not look at it in detail.
From this horrific death rate, we can see how difficult it is for the contractors to survive in the Samsara Paradise.
In the Samsara Paradise, most of the shops are opened by workers, and these shops are used to maintain the daily needs of the contractors.
In the center of the Samsara Paradise, there are more than a dozen buildings opened by the Samsara Paradise, including the attribute enhancement hall mentioned earlier.
These dozen buildings are very important to the contractors. If they want to improve their strength, it is closely related to these buildings.
According to the information given by Xi Luoluo, Chi Yao successfully arrived at the attribute enhancement hall.
