Electromagnetic Tyrant

Chapter 30 Teammates
Ji Xinghuo held Ren Mian's hand, shook it lightly, and then let go. The soft touch from his hand made him feel flustered.

"It would be nice if I could hold it all the time."

When this idea came out, Ji Xinghuo was startled.

He glanced at Ren Mian with some guilt, but found that she had already walked into the bar without her noticing, so he quickly followed.

"Do you want to have a drink to celebrate my joining the team?"

After entering, Ji Xinghuo knew that he was thinking too much.

This is not a serious bar, but a club of colours!

Olympia cannot use electronic equipment, and naturally there are no stereos, speakers, and DJs, but this does not hinder people who want to have fun. A dozen people form a band, and various unplugged musical instruments are played in unison.

The colorful crystals are constantly flickering, completely operated manually, achieving the effect of rotating colored lights.

In the middle of the club hall was a T-shaped stage, on which a row of enchanting women stood, posing at the men waving banknotes below.

The hall smelled of hormones and alcohol.

In the corner, some men and women were already tangled together, ignoring the crowd around them.

Ren Mian walked through the crowd to a booth.

Ji Xinghuo saw five people in the booth, and four attractive women surrounded a man. He hugged left and right, poured wine into his mouth, and laughed with the women around him. His dishonest hands seemed to be playing cards, and he moved his hands everywhere.

He looked so happy that he didn't even notice that two people were approaching.

"Little Pond."

Ren Mian called out a name, not loudly, but the man who was soaked in the crowd of women looked up and saw her as if he had been struck by lightning.

Embarrassment was written all over his face, and he quickly pushed away the woman beside him and stood up.

"Sister Ren."

The man's expression was well managed, and he couldn't see a trace of embarrassment in a blink of an eye. He turned into a serious look, and asked, "Why are you here?"

Ji Xinghuo observed him.

This man was a few years older than me, with handsome features and a dignified appearance. He was about 1.9 meters tall and was very strong, but he didn't have the bulkiness of a powerful alien.

His weapon is nearby, leaning against the deck.

It was a long spear made entirely of metal, more than two meters long, with a triangular-shaped spear point more than 30 centimeters long, with sharp edges, and a body as thick as an arm.

Well-proportioned and vigorous, using a long spear, plus thick calluses on the palm of his hand...

Ji Xinghuo speculates that this man is probably a martial artist.

Martial Daoists are the most numerous aliens.

In theory, martial arts masters can use any weapon, such as swords, guns, swords, halberds, axes, hammers, and daggers, but in fact, more than [-]% of martial arts masters choose long spears.

Even at the beginning, because of preference, or to look handsome, I chose weapons such as swords.

But after being beaten by reality, he will obediently change to a spear.

the reason is simple.

The strongest spear!
The spear is the king of a hundred soldiers. When fighting against people of the same martial arts rank, the person who uses the spear always has an absolute advantage regardless of the special ability.

An inch is long and an inch is strong, it is definitely not nonsense.

Especially in the first few ranks of aliens, there are few other means of supernatural powers, most of the battles have to be close, and spears are always harmful.

Even if they are not martial arts masters, aliens of other professions are forced to choose long spears.

Spears and clubs come next.

Therefore, martial artists are nicknamed "spear soldiers" by people. If they use spears, they are "Brother Spears". Anyway, they look like miscellaneous soldiers in video games.

Ji Xinghuo is in Olympia these days, and the most common weapon he sees is the spear.

Wherever you go, you can see Spearmen and Brother Mao.

However, the man in front of him was the most powerful spearman he had seen so far. Ji Xinghuo was only a few steps away from him, and he was vaguely alert to danger.

"I happened to pass by something." Ren Mian said lightly, and introduced: "This is our new teammate, Ji Xinghuo. Xinghuo, he is Chi Zhonglin."

Chi Zhonglin noticed Ji Xinghuo before Ren Mian introduced him.

"New teammates!"

His eyes lit up, he rushed forward and grabbed Ji Xinghuo's hand, and said with a very enthusiastic smile: "Hello, hello, my name is Chi Zhonglin. The name comes from Jin Lin, so I picked it up myself. Xinghuo, you should be younger than me. You can just call me Brother Chi from now on."

Ji Xinghuo couldn't bear his enthusiasm.

And he was keenly aware that although Chi Zhonglin looked like a brother, he might have doubts about him in his heart, at least not as close as he appeared on the surface.

He was just showing to Ren Mian.

Chi Zhonglin was a little afraid of Ren Mian.

Ji Xinghuo grasped this detail, nodded and said, "Okay, Brother Chi."

However, Ren Mian suddenly corrected him, "Xinghuo, you can just call him Zhonglin." Chi Zhonglin smiled, "You can call him whatever, Sister Ren is up to you."

Ji Xinghuo didn't make a sound.

"Let's go back." Ren Mian's eyes showed a bit of helplessness.Obviously, she didn't like the environment of the club. Even though she had covered her face, her beautiful figure still couldn't escape the probing gazes of the vicious men around her.

After she finished speaking, she walked outside.

Chi Zhonglin took out a stack of banknotes and dismissed the woman in the booth, picked up the spear and carried it on his shoulder, shoulder to shoulder with Ji Xinghuo, and followed Ren Mian together.

"Xinghuo, are you a ranger?" Chi Zhonglin asked with a hint of alcohol.

Ji Xinghuo nodded.

"It's not easy!" Chi Zhonglin shook his head and sighed: "Sister Ren has always wanted to recruit shooters for the team, but her requirements are too high. There are not many people who can pass her test. After almost two years on and off, I finally waited for you to come."

Ji Xinghuo felt the same way.

According to Ren Mian's standards, there may not be more than ten shooters in the entire Olympia, below the level of super ranger.

This kind of shooter whose strength is far beyond the same level, who is not famous, or backed by a big force, has been discovered and recruited long ago, how could he casually join other people's team.

"I used to be the shooter, but now with you, I feel much more relaxed." Chi Zhonglin looked happy.

Ji Xinghuo couldn't help being suspicious.

"Do you know how to shoot?"

"Barely, it's more accurate than ordinary rangers, but they often shoot wrongly." When Chi Zhonglin mentioned archery, he frowned, looking sad, "But apart from me, Sister Ren and Caiyi are not suitable for carrying bows. Of course, I can only take the part-time job."

Ji Xinghuo nodded to express his understanding, many teams are like this.

Archers are very important and indispensable, but qualified archers are very rare, so we have to let other aliens in the team act temporarily, each with a bow, to make up for quality with quantity.

It's okay to shoot crookedly in a melee, but I'm most afraid of shooting my teammates.

This kind of temporary shooter often throws away the bow after shooting two arrows in the first wave of contact with the enemy, and picks up the weapon to fight hand-to-hand, so as not to shoot his teammates in the ass.

However, according to Chi Zhonglin's words, there seemed to be no one else in this team except him, Ren Mian and that "Cai Yi".

The whole team plus myself is four people?

This……

Generally speaking, the optimal number of a hunting team is five to ten people.

Melee, marksman, healing, field control, and scouting, you must have at least one of these responsibilities, and some need two or three to be safer.

Less than five people, losing one or two people in battle will cause an avalanche of defeat.

It is not easy to arrange a vigil when the camp is resting.

If there are more than ten people, the larger the team, the more complicated it will be, and it will be easy to expose their whereabouts, and the distribution of spoils to each person will decrease, and the average income will decrease.

Ren Mian's team had only three people before he joined.

And it seems like it's been a few years.

"Is there only four of us in the team?" Ji Xinghuo couldn't help asking.

At this time, the three of them had already left the club. When Ren Mian heard his words, he turned around and said to himself, "Four people are enough. I won't recruit any more teammates in the future unless necessary."

Chi Zhonglin also patted Ji Xinghuo on the shoulder.

"We are not an ordinary hunting team, four people is already a lot." His face was full of pride, "Xinghuo, you will understand soon."

woo woo woo...

A steam bus emitting white mist and soot came along the street, Ren Mian waved, and the steam bus stopped on the side of the road and opened the door.

Electronic devices and internal combustion engines cannot be used in the Astral Plane, but steam engines can.

The city of Olympia is very large. Except for the Yiren with mounts, most people travel by this steam-powered bus.

Steam engine technology prevailed in Olympia.

In addition to buses, there are scenes where steam engines are used everywhere in the city. The most conspicuous one is to protect the walls of the whole city. A large number of steam boilers are installed inside to drive many powerful steam ballistas on the walls to defend against enemies from the air.

There are also trains and steam airships that travel between Olympia and other cities every day.

The three got on the bus, and Ren Huamian bought three tickets.

They sat in the back of the bus.

It was the first time for Ji Xinghuo to take such a slow car. The speed was only about 60 kilometers per hour. It felt quite fresh. There were quite a few passengers in the car, but everyone was used to it.

After a while.

The bus drove into a quiet neighborhood, Ren Mian took the lead to get off, and led the two into a high-end villa area.

Every house here is a detached villa, covering an area of ​​at least [-] square meters. Outside the buildings are private gardens, shooting ranges, and lawns. Each house is separated from each other by tall trees, flower gardens and various green plants, and there are security guards patrolling every few minutes.

Even on earth, this is a mansion that can only be owned by the top billionaires.

Let alone in the astral world.

Ji Xinghuo couldn't help doubting Ren Mian's identity. How could a super alien have the money to buy such a luxurious villa?

Even if it is rented, the monthly rent is also very high.

Looking at Ren Mian's back, he suddenly felt that this woman was even more mysterious.

The three of Ren Mian walked to the door of a villa, and a wall blocked the inside. She opened the small door next to the main door with a key, and a spacious lawn greeted her eyes.

Crossing the lawn to the front of the main building, the front door was pushed open.

A beautiful young woman came out.

She is wearing a well-fitting black combat uniform, about 1.6 meters tall, with a light body, a samurai sword and a short knife hanging around her waist.

Although her skin was slightly pale, it did not affect the sweet smile on her face.

"Sister, Mr. Zhonglin, you are back!"

Ren Mian nodded, pointed to Ji Xinghuo and said, "Caiyi, he is Ji Xinghuo, our new teammate. You can arrange a room for him later."

"Mr. Xinghuo, I am Jiangnan Caiyi, please take care of me in the future, please."

Jiangnan Caiyi was happy and polite, bowed deeply to Ji Xinghuo, and spoke softly, which made people feel pity.

Ji Xinghuo is not used to such a big gift when they meet for the first time.

Even in Fusang Autonomous Province, there are not many people who still keep these etiquette habits.

"Cai Yi said seriously, we are teammates, we should help each other." Ji Xinghuo can only say so.

The four walked through the door.

Ji Xinghuo looked at the spacious and bright living room, the floor was spotless, obviously someone did the sanitation every day to keep it clean, even the sofa was cleaned, and there was a fresh fragrance of flowers in the air, which made people feel refreshed.

Chi Zhonglin casually leaned the spear against the wall, smelled of alcohol, and lay down on the sofa without any image.

Ren Mian frowned, but did not speak.

Jiangnan Caiyi ran into the kitchen with small steps, and quickly served a plate of tea, a cup of scented tea for Ren Mian, a cup of honey water for Chi Zhonglin to hangover, and a cup for Ji Xinghuo, "Sorry, I don't know Mr. Xinghuo's taste, so I prepared the same scented tea for you as my sister."

"Thank you, scented tea is very good." Ji Xinghuo took the cup.

"Sit down, don't be too reserved."

Ren Mian said: "This is the permanent base of our team. You can live, practice, or take vacations. You can treat it as if you were at home."

Ji Xinghuo nodded.

He walked to Chi Zhonglin and was about to sit down when he saw Ren Mian opposite him take off his hat and the scarf covering his face.

Finally, Ji Xinghuo saw her true face.

He was stunned for a moment.

Ren Mian's appearance was more beautiful than imagined, ten times, a hundred times more beautiful. Ji Xinghuo's brain seemed to be hammered, and he was in a mess for a moment, unable to think of how to describe her peerless appearance.

She is like the world's top AI-generated virtual goddess, satisfying all the best elements without any flaws.

But she is also a living real person, wonderfully crafted, natural and perfect, from virtuality to reality.

It's hard to imagine that anyone in the world can grow up like this!

Jiangnan Caiyi was already a top-notch beauty, but compared with Ren Mian, she looked very ordinary and overshadowed.

Ji Xinghuo couldn't help but think, if he had to find a beauty on her level, it should be that hot "Sword Immortal" Zhao Manying!
If these two are compared face to face, it should be difficult to distinguish between them.

"Do I look good?" Ren Mian suddenly smiled at Ji Xinghuo, and the room was filled with light like a hundred flowers blooming.

Ji Xinghuo's heart beat violently a few times, he nodded subconsciously, and blurted out:

"nice!"

After finishing speaking, he found that the three of them were all looking at him, with strange expressions on their faces. He couldn't help but feel embarrassed, but he still pretended to be calm.

"I'm serious, sister Ren, you are the most beautiful person I have ever seen in my life."

"Thank you for the compliment."

Ren Mian took a sip of scented tea and put it down, "I'll go upstairs to rest first. Caiyi, you arrange a room for Xinghuo, everyone go to bed early, we still have things to do tomorrow."

Ji Xinghuo didn't look away until her figure disappeared at the stairs.

Chi Zhonglin winked at him.

Ji Xinghuo suddenly remembered something, just to change the subject, and asked: "I don't know yet, what is the name of our team?" Generally, every team has a name, whether it is officially registered or privately formed.

"Sister Ren didn't say that?" Chi Zhonglin was a little surprised.

"No."

Chi Zhonglin looked at Jiangnan Caiyi, "Caiyi, let's talk about it."

Jiangnan Caiyi seemed a little shy to speak, and hesitated for a few seconds before saying: "Mr. Xinghuo, we are the 'five-star ten worlds only team'."
