Chapter 391: Chapter 311 Not Unable to Recruit People_1

This Dusk mercenary shared the information he knew with Zheng Yichen, revealing that the new technology of the Boundary Breakers wasn’t some kind of scientific force but rather a method akin to a "Descent of God". The Dusk mercenaries were caught off guard by this technique employed by the Boundary Breakers.

After all, the Boundary Breaking Faction is the largest of the three major troublemaking forces known to date, with wildly varying quality of personnel. Some of them couldn’t even beat a Dusk mercenary in other worlds. Though their own numbers were few, their equipment was top-notch, and their individual quality was also very high; those who weren’t up to par didn’t become Dusk mercenaries.

So most of the time, dealing with those Boundary Breakers was quite easy, unless one encountered a troublesome elite Boundary Breaker. But there weren’t many elite Boundary Breakers, and when encountered, one just had to use them as practice and take them out. The rest could be treated as either cannon fodder or tough cannon fodder.

However, these cannon fodder could now go against the heavens. The Boundary Breakers possessed some sort of new technology that allowed the cannon fodder to "invite a god" into their bodies, transforming from weaklings into super-powerful beings, and those capable could directly touch the pinnacle of that world. This was not something the Dusk mercenaries could contend with.

There were powerful Dusk mercenaries who could reach the peak of some worlds, but not all peaks were the same. The Boundary Breakers could use that method to gang up for a group beatdown.

"This new technology has too great an impact on us. Before, no matter how much trouble the Boundary Breakers caused, it was within a certain range. Now they can bring in additional combat power from elsewhere..." As he spoke, the expression of this Dusk mercenary grew even more distressed.

This meant that if they could not effectively prevent the Boundary Breakers from performing the "Descent of God", then their previous combat methods would become completely inapplicable. The Boundary Breaking Faction’s Descent of God wasn’t a sure thing, but encountering one would likely lead to a group wipe-out.

They had to shift from their previous tactics of direct confrontation to secretly sneaking around and stealing victory.

This was extremely frustrating; they used to be the ones air-dropping combat power, but now the Boundary Breaking Faction could do it too, and even more ruthlessly—it was painfully upsetting.

The Boundary Breakers in the Great World were able to evolve with the times, while it was difficult for their side to reach that level. The Dusk mercenaries’ understanding of the interactions between worlds was too limited.

To put it simply, the Boundary Breaking Faction of the Great World was akin to a national power, while on their side, they were bona fide mercenaries. What they could do was continually improve their own foundational strength and hardware configurations, then take on harder tasks to earn greater rewards, and repeat the process.

The ultimate goal was to become the king of mercenaries who could solve any problem. Even if that level wasn’t reached, as long as one could ensure that one wasn’t at the mercy of others in most situations, it would be enough. That way, one could also avoid most crises, even if one’s own world fell to the Great World.

After doing all they could, if they helplessly watched their home world being swallowed by the Great World, they would have no regrets. After that? As long as one was strong enough, one could definitely withstand the turbulence caused by the merger. If one didn’t want to bear the burden, it was also possible to take one’s family and seek refuge through other anomalies in advance.

Many Dusk mercenaries had this mindset. They were mercenaries, after all. Could one expect them to have a sufficient understanding of "world crossing" like the Boundary Breaking Faction in the Great World, while also possessing a strong enough research capability to continuously enhance their own foundations?

That was utterly impossible. To make this group of mercenaries stronger and more likely to complete tasks depended on what Dusk could achieve for them. Initially, the conveniences provided by Dusk satisfied the Dusk mercenaries.

As long as there were enough merit points, almost anything was possible. Non-fatal injuries, missing arms or legs, as long as one didn’t die on the spot, a little money could fix it. When it came to treatment, only special injuries requiring merit points involved things like particularly stubborn curses or life-limiting damages.

It was expensive, but this showed how strong Dusk’s logistical support was. With such support, they had always felt capable. They might be fighting the well-founded Boundary Breakers, but their side had great growth potential.

Yet the times had changed. A significant number of Dusk mercenaries had died, and the number of Dusk mercenaries who had died in other worlds wouldn’t be small. However, as mercenaries, it was up to Dusk to fret and consider these matters. What concerned them was the change in combat methods and the reduced survival rate.

Slacking was not an option; those Dusk mercenaries who had slackened had already paid a price—not with their lives but something that caused them deep regret for a long time.

"You’re a Proxy Agent; don’t forget to notify us of any special arrangements Dusk might have in the future," said the Dusk mercenary to Zheng Yichen in parting.

"Of course," Zheng Yichen immediately responded, "We’re on the same team. With you Dusk mercenaries, I can survive more easily and comfortably."

The Dusk mercenary smiled and said nothing more. Zheng Yichen was right—without enough Dusk mercenaries, Proxy Agents would definitely become busier. Understaffed, the Boundary Breakers could easily cause trouble at their leisure; Proxy Agents would be running around putting out fires, without even having time to rest, and would be worn out sooner or later.

There was nothing that Zheng Yichen wanted at this stall; it all consisted of rather ordinary materials. The Dusk mercenaries and local forces did cooperate more or less, often exchanging certain special items with the local forces for resources, unless it was something very special that could earn them merit points here.

The local forces could provide most of the resources and technical support, but they couldn’t give the Dusk mercenaries merit points; that was something that circulated only within their circle.

So, the items that appeared here were either ordinary or truly exceptional.

With fewer local Dusk mercenaries, the likelihood of finding good items was also not high. Zheng Yichen quickly finished browsing the stalls; there were no special materials and no exotic equipment. He saw Tia not far away and, with a sudden slap to his palm, immediately approached the Dusk nun.

"Could you keep an eye on the items in the Zero Point marketplace for me?"

Tia looked at Zheng Yichen calmly. After a short while, she asked, "I can. Which kinds of items would you like me to look out for?"

Quite pleased, Zheng Yichen immediately expressed his needs, "Material-related ones, that can bring significant improvements to my weapons, equipment, and mount; and if it’s an item... perhaps something related to spatial power."

He was genuinely interested in spatial-related powers. Moreover, the fishing rod itself possessed a certain degree of spatial power. However, he cautioned himself not to regard the opened Gate of Hell as a mere spatial gate; such spatial power was too narrowly defined and so far, it had not been of any help to him.

At most, he would fish for some ’deceased’ beings from other worlds when he had nothing else to do. He thought about further developing the effect associated with his weapon to see if he could create something more interesting.

"Anything else?"

"That’s all for the items," said Zheng Yichen, glancing at the Dusk mercenary who had spoken to him earlier. "About what he told me just now... How is Dusk responding to it?"

"The same as before."

"?" Even though Zheng Yichen was accustomed to Dusk’s passive attitude, Tia’s straightforward answer almost made him, who rarely cursed, blurt out a big "What the fuck!" "You’re just going to slack like that? Aren’t you afraid of not being able to recruit people?"

"We won’t have trouble recruiting. Those ’Descent of God’ are not without their limitations."
