Just as Da Fei was amazed by Deirdre’s high-profile performance, the perspective of Moon God Night’s video shifted to other corners of the tavern, where some demon tavern heroes were drinking, sleeping, and playing cards.

Da Fei was taken aback: "There really are tavern heroes? This half-broken tavern can actually be used?"

Moon God Night replied: "I find it strange too. Let me chat with a tavern hero."

So the video perspective turned to a corner where a burly demon hero clad in Blood Armor was drinking alone, and Da Fei suddenly realized he couldn’t see the hero’s level!

Moon God Night obviously noticed this issue too: "Did you see? The NPC hero levels here are much higher than ours, this can’t be an ordinary tavern."

And the black-robed mage NPC of Moon God Night obviously couldn’t deceive the system NPC. When Moon God Night sat opposite him, this demon hero proactively spoke, "I thought coming to the front line would be a chance to make big money, but didn’t expect to be stuck in a dull siege every day—warrior, you look like someone who can achieve great things, do you need mercenaries? Just 200,000 gold coins a day, and my 10 elite warriors will get everything sorted for you!"

Da Fei suddenly realized: "So it’s a mercenary camp!"

The ogre hero Og, minotaur hero Gerna, and cave people hero Shakert that Da Fei saw underground were all doing this work! Mercenary heroes are not like tavern heroes, who operate alone; they have troops under them, and they are usually elite. The characteristic of mercenary heroes is that they sell their skills but not their bodies; they typically won’t become a player’s vice hero. However, if the player offers enough favorable conditions, or if their goodwill is high enough, anything is possible.

Moon God Night was also quite interested: "Mercenary camps aren’t easy to come by; I’ll continue to ask."

Moon God Night then responded, "200,000 a day? Only 10 warriors? That’s too expensive, isn’t it?"

The demon hero said angrily, "Expensive? If it were those little kids, even if you offered ten times the money, I wouldn’t risk my brothers’ lives!"

Moon God Night suddenly realized: "Seems like recruiting these mercenaries also depends on reputation."

Da Fei laughed: "Your reputation must be quite high."

Moon God Night chuckled: "Yes, the good thing about high reputation is that when talking to NPCs, even impatient ones will show some respect and chat a bit more."

Then Moon God Night pointed to the banshee hero at the bar and continued to ask, "Do you know her background?"

Oh my! Da Fei felt a chill run down his spine.

The demon hero coldly smiled: "1000 gold coins for the information!"

Charging for this? Both Da Fei and Moon God Night were a bit excited. So Moon God Night casually paid the 1000 gold coins. Da Fei also wanted to know how other heroes viewed Deirdre, the newcomer undercover.

The demon hero weighed his wallet with satisfaction and said, "Don’t know the background, anyway she’s a weakling!"

Apu! Moon God Night spat out on the spot: "Information like this is worth 1000 gold coins?"

Da Fei spat too! You dare say my Deirdre is a weakling?

The demon hero coolly said: "Isn’t the value of mercenaries determined by their ability? If I didn’t warn you, you might have hired this useless weakling, losing money is a minor issue, but delaying military affairs is major."

Moon God Night shook his head: "Aren’t you all mercenaries? Don’t you know each other’s backgrounds?"

The demon hero coldly replied: "Every day there are weaklings who overestimate themselves and join the mercenaries, then vanish by the next day. Who cares to know about them."

Moon God Night chuckled: "The other party is an attractive and alluring banshee, aren’t you tempted?"

The demon hero coldly said: "Demon’s desires are sometimes far simpler than humans’, my desires are just greed and slaughter!"

Moon God Night laughed: "If someone captures and sells this banshee, wouldn’t you make a lot of money?"

Oh dear! Don’t mess around, at this moment, Da Fei decided to reveal the truth!

The demon hero coldly said: "I’m not interested in capturing and keeping alive, that’s what those two guys behind me like to do! But those two guys are weaklings too—consider this free information, warrior, if you change your mind, feel free to come find me."

Behind? As the view shifted, there were two vulgar masked heroes at the rear table playing cards while keeping an eye on the whole place. Just based on their skinny, dried-up physiques, it was clear they were weaklings, did we even need his free information?

Moon God Night raised an eyebrow: "Playing cards, huh? I’m a Gambling God-level player! Watch how I deal with these two!"

Gambling God!? How amazing is Moon God Night really? Da Fei got anxious and decided to officially reveal the truth: "No need to investigate! This banshee is part of my reconnaissance unit."

Moon God Night was surprised: "Your hero? Why didn’t you say earlier? Just playing with me, huh?"

Oh dear! Players daring to lose their temper with me, well, friendly players, you’re the first!

Da Fei helplessly said: "I couldn’t confirm at first either, after all, I’m not on-site, and vice heroes are disguised as independent expeditions, I had no idea how she’d disguise herself, who knew she’d be so high-profile!"

Moon God Night chuckled: "Seems you’re quite lucky, having so many beautiful vice heroes plus this banshee hero who can transform into various beauties, how much have you indulged?"

Oh dear! She can also transform into Nanny Rong! Don’t think just because we’re getting familiar you can talk nonsense! Da Fei said unhappily, "I have a woman, no need for that."

Moon God Night surprisedly said: "Miss Five?"

Five your sister! Wasn’t this just the elegant lady from a moment ago? Da Fei helplessly said, "Let’s talk strategy."

Moon God Night cleared his throat: "Alright, strategy! Since this banshee is one of us, no need to consider her for any plans, so given we’re a team now, can she cooperate with my actions?"

Da Fei sighed: "Probably not, she’s now a genuine NPC."

Moon God Night responded, "I see, then I’ll cooperate with her actions. But before that, I still want to deal with these two card-playing weaklings, build up some strength and continue assessing the situation here. Alright, playing cards is such a dull thing, I won’t livestream it, I’ll update you when there’s progress."

After this, Da Fei’s video window went black, and the livestream cut off. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

Hey, hey, hey! Don’t cut the video! Da Fei helplessly sighed. But anyhow, having her nearby to cooperate is still nice.

Just then, Da Fei’s main perspective inside the airship noticed some activity again, as a large flock of beetles surged out of the forest pit like a rolling dark cloud. The entire forest erupted with a thunderous roar like bomber squadrons. No need to doubt, a new wave of bug swarm offensive is here, this indeed is a bug breeding ground!

No more words needed, the Blood Eagle continued flying into the underground pit to scout.

...

At this moment, Mitsubishi Team Command Center.

The sudden appearance of a banshee mercenary hero in the ruins of the Elf Village on battlefield number 3 stunned the command center! Female heroes are a very rare existence, and mercenary camps are exceedingly rare outdoor facilities, encountering a more powerful female hero within a mercenary camp would unsettle any player. At this stage, female heroes symbolize class and style, if a player successfully recruits a female hero, the player’s account value could potentially increase tenfold! Looking worldwide at nearly a hundred million players, less than a hundred have successfully recruited female heroes.

Currently, the huge screen on the command center wall displayed various-angle surveillance video of the banshee hero, especially the video shot from the front team members lying on the ground, capturing the banshee hero sitting on a chair from underneath, causing heavy breathing across the entire command center!

No doubt, the team members had already reached under the goddesses’ skirts, savoring the goddess’ intimate aura, and now, combined with such sizzling visual allure, how could everyone bear it? No problem! For professional players, typing with one hand, operating with one hand is absolutely no issue!

Captain Tsukamoto immediately reacted: "Fully seal the information, none of the present players should release any video of the banshee hero."

"Yeii! The present players are all members of the Divine Wind Team and some members of the Night Parade of Hundred Demons Team, the situation is completely under our control."

Captain Tsukamoto nodded: "According to legend, if the price is high enough, even mercenary armies might be recruited by players! Right now, the mission of the Divine Wind Team and Night Parade of Hundred Demons Team is to accept the task collectively, spare no expense to recruit her!"

"Yeii!" (To be continued. If you like this work, we welcome you to visit Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for recommendation tickets and monthly tickets, your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
