Chapter 1259 The Abyss Clan’s Bounty Mission
A small conflict at the entrance of the Adventurer's Guild was not a big deal after all. Compared to the excitement of the current Titan City-state, this small conflict was not even a big deal, and it could not create any big waves at all.
In the final analysis, this is just a conflict between adventurers. This kind of conflict happens every day and is staged every day.
Although the plot is slightly different this time, the Mushroom Man who was supposed to be stepped on actually counterattacked and gained the upper hand in the hands of a ruthless person like Copper Box. However, the fact that the Mushroom Man finally chose to settle the matter does not also mean that the Mushroom Man is
Still inferior?
Otherwise, you have won, and you have won so openly, so why don't you dare to accept the spoils, but choose to take a step back?
To put it bluntly, isn't it because he is of low strength and is afraid of retaliation from the copper box afterwards, so he is playing dirty tricks behind his back?
Yes, you, the mushroom man, won this time. But it was just because you were too proud and underestimated the enemy in the copper box, so you let the mushroom man choose the method of gambling. Otherwise, you, the mushroom man, are good at earth magic, as long as you do not gamble with earth magic and
What are the areas in which mushroom people are good at? Which ones do you win at?
In terms of overall strength, Mushroom Man is still a younger brother after all.
Therefore, after rejecting a number of invitees one after another, no one in the guild paid much attention to the three mushroom men. Everyone was busy with their own affairs, so how could they spend their free time on the mushroom men.
Even among the rejected adventurer teams, many people secretly murmured that these three mushroom men were simply disrespectful.
I kindly invited them to join, and it was a treat for them to eat. I didn't expect that this mushroom man was not a good person. Do you really think that just by practicing magic alone, you can charge sky-high prices? Do you really want to reach the sky in one step?
The ridiculous mushroom man is simply wishful thinking.
At first glance, they are innocent mushroom people who have never been beaten by society. Once they are beaten by life, they will know that adventurers are not so easy to eat.
The Adventurer's Guild continues to release quests, and adventurer teams continue to leave the guild after receiving quests. Naturally, other adventurer teams will continue to pour in.
People come and go, just like the tide.
The previous gambling turmoil was also diluted in this huge crowd, until no one talked about it at all.
Jiang Yue and the others have been wandering around the hall, and they have also been observing the tasks that the guild continues to issue. They seem to be extremely engaged.
Looking at the attitude of the adventurer team that invited Jiang Yue and the others to join before, they guessed that these three mushroom men probably did not trust other adventurer teams, or were worried about suffering a loss, and did not want to join other adventurer teams. They only wanted to
Go it alone. For mushroom people, this idea is quite reasonable.
However, if three mushroom men form a team to do missions, what high-level missions can they get? It’s not that there are no high-level missions here. On the contrary, there are quite a lot of high-level missions for the Titan City-State Guild. But the mushroom men’s combat effectiveness and comprehensive
Their ability determines that they are not qualified to apply for high-level tasks.
Don't say that if someone doesn't hire you, even if your qualifications can't stand the test, you won't be eligible to receive it at all.
But Jiang Yue was extremely serious. He looked like an adventurer pursuing advancement, working hard for his own livelihood without slacking off at all. Even winning the gambling battle earlier did not seem to make him complacent or forgetful.
.
On the bright side, most of the adventurer team will not continue to focus on the three mushroom men, but there are still some people who are secretly observing them.
And Jiang Yue also knew that there were others observing them secretly. This didn't even require Jiang Yue to use his borrowing skills. He could feel the attention hidden in the dark just by intuition.
The group in the Bronze Box were paying attention to them intentionally or unintentionally, and from other corners, there would occasionally be angles from which they would glance at them from time to time.
All this is understandable. After all, after the gambling incident has passed, it will eventually become a topic of conversation, and it is reasonable for it to attract attention occasionally. The aftermath of the gambling battle cannot be completely dissipated at once, without leaving any trace.
What surprised Jiang Yue was that there was a concern within the guild. Although it had been well hidden, Jiang Yue was still keenly aware of it.
Jiang Yue was not complacent. On the contrary, he disliked this attention. In his opinion, this attention was definitely not a good thing.
Speaking of adventurers, they are just some rough guys. Being targeted by these people is nothing more than a matter of gratification and enmity, and it will not rise to much of a big picture.
But if you are targeted by relevant senior officials of the guild, this is a completely different matter, and it is very likely to cause big trouble. As long as there is a potential crisis that may lead to the exposure of his identity, Jiang Yue is not willing to have it appear. As long as there are some signs, Jiang Yue will
Hope it will be extinguished as soon as possible.
But right now, it's not easy to eliminate this trend. You can't go over and ask which guild leader is secretly sizing me up, right? If that's the case, it will only make things worse.
The best strategy at the moment is to act stupid, pretend not to know, and then quietly observe who the senior guild leader is and what his intentions are.
Jiang Yue was not overly nervous, and the situation did not deteriorate to the point where his identity was exposed.
After all, if their identities were exposed, they would not be able to safely operate in the guild hall at this moment, and they would have been surrounded long ago.
Even if the guild doesn't plan to round them up openly or alert them, it will at least deploy more manpower to keep an eye on them.
However, there was no situation where many people were following the guild. In other words, this was attention from the guild, and it was probably just a personal behavior.
If it was just a personal behavior, it would be much easier to handle.
Um?
Jiang Yue's eyes suddenly stopped at a three-star mission that had just been released less than an hour ago. The reward for this mission was surprisingly from the Abyss Tribe, one of the top ten golden tribes.
Jiang Yue heard these three words mentioned by Ah Piao yesterday. He knew that the Abyss tribe's team participating in the auction stayed at the inn where Ah Piao worked, the most luxurious Wanxiang Inn in Titan City.
The task issued by the Abyssal Clan is also simple. They actually want to find a group of errands to help purchase supplies, and these supplies are just daily necessities to meet their daily needs.
For this matter, it stands to reason that the Abyss Tribe's own servants can take care of it. After all, when such a powerful force travels, there will never be a shortage of attendants to take care of food and daily life.
But they just issued this task. Perhaps, their followers don’t look down on such a simple job.
The market price of the reward for the three-star mission is 800 silver coins. However, the Abyss tribe is obviously not short of money. They are very arrogant and directly raise the price to 2,000. However, there are naturally requirements.
I don’t want those slick adventurer teams, I don’t want the arrogant local snakes, and I don’t even want crazy creatures with manic blood and troublesome people. The special requirement is that it’s best to be clean creatures. They have a gentle personality, obey orders, and are honest.
He is kind and will not engage in small tricks such as shortchanging one's weight and lining one's own pockets.
The requirements are actually not high, and I don’t know how many Titan city-states can meet these requirements.
The clerk at the guild also knew Jiang Yue and the three mushroom men, and he laughed and said: "You three have been in the limelight just now. Joining those big adventurer teams is not more promising than working alone? Are you applying for this mission? Haha
, to tell you the truth, there are already more than a dozen batches of people who have signed up for this task."
It has only been released so long, but there are already more than a dozen batches of people who have signed up? It seems that the atmosphere here is really hot. But having said that, this three-star mission is close to the four-star reward, which is really exciting.
For those small teams that are neither high nor low, it is definitely a big temptation. No wonder it is so popular.
This is because the clerk is in a good mood, so talk to them a few more words. If you ask someone else to apply, they will not talk nonsense to you. You will also need to pay a small application fee for applying. Although it is not much, it is still an expense, right?
"Thanks for the reminder. I would like to ask, when will registration for this task stop? How to select?"
"Haha, look at this situation, registration will close in three hours at most. There's no point in waiting any longer. The person who funded me is still waiting in the guild."
"The boss of the Abyss tribe?" Jiang Yue's tone revealed a kind of respect for the strong.
"Haha, can the big boss of the Abyss come here in person? He is just a housekeeper responsible for daily life. But don't underestimate a housekeeper. He has power in his hands. He is no different from a big boss. What he represents may be the will of the big boss.
.”
"Yes, for us, they are all big bosses."
"Haha, you are quite humble. I have made it clear to you, why don't you repay me?"
"Of course you have to repay. You have to eat. The cost of living in this Titan city-state is not low. If you don't work hard to make money, it will be difficult to survive."
The clerk shook his head, obviously thinking that the Titan City State was good, but why did you mushroom people come to join in the fun? Do you really think that this place is full of gold, and you can just pick up the money?
Of course, he would never say these words. If it weren't for the constant influx of these unknown adventurers, how could there be the excitement of the guild? Without the excitement of the guild, clerks like them would just eat shit? Who would pay them their salaries?
It can be said that these clerks are like thousands of adventurers who are supporting them with their blood, sweat and even their lives.
Naturally, they cannot throw cold water on someone by making sarcastic remarks.
After registering, the clerk quickly opened the certificate and said: "You will be notified in a moment to participate in the selection, and the steward of the Abyss over there will personally select the person. Don't go far, it is best not to leave the guild. In the tavern of the guild hall
Sit down and wait."
Jiang Yue had no intention of leaving in a hurry at all. He had not achieved his purpose of coming to the guild, so how could he leave so easily?
Each guild hall has many taverns, but none are too high-end. Generally, they are mid- to low-end, which can meet the needs of these adventurer teams.
Jiang Yue had funds for activities, but he couldn't spend money like water in public, so naturally he still had to act like he was planning carefully.
After all, their current status is as adventurers looking for jobs, and they are also mushroom people with status. How can you act like you are not short of money? This is obviously inappropriate, eye-catching, easy to attract hatred, and attracts attention.
As soon as the three of them walked into an ordinary tavern, a figure followed them in. Before Jiang Yue and the others could sit down, the man caught up with them.
Surprisingly, it was Jiang Yue who let him go before.
Lao Shi was quite thick-skinned. He licked his face and said hello: "Brothers, I've been offended just now. You adults spared my life in large quantities. The more I think about it, the more embarrassed I feel. If I could treat you to a drink, I would
This will make me feel better."
Jiang Qiao frowned and said, "Isn't that necessary?"
Sangou said: "Don't you think one life is worth a bar?"
"That's not true, it's not true. Three brothers, please don't misunderstand me. I owe you my life, and I, Old Shi, will always remember it in my heart. This wine is both a thank you and an apology, and it has no intention of taking my life." Old Shi quickly explained.
With.
Jiang Qiao has some resistance to people like Lao Shi from the bottom of his heart. He is not as mean as you when it comes to flirting. When the real thing comes, he is greedy for life and afraid of death, and is full of ugliness. In this case, why bother to cause trouble?
However, Jiang Yue waved his hand to signal Jiang Qiao and San Gou not to say anything more. Instead, he looked at Lao Shi with a smile and made a gesture, indicating that Lao Shi should sit opposite him.
Lao Shi smiled apologetically, moved the stool and sat down shamelessly.
This kind of old Jianghu would naturally not feel uncomfortable just because Jiang Qiao made fun of him. He was still very enthusiastic and flatteringly emphasized: "This meal must be mine. You can drink or eat whatever you want. I
Although Lao Shi is down and out, he can still afford a drink in this tavern."
Of course Jiang Yue and the others had no intention of feasting and drinking, they were just waiting for news from over there.
Seeing Lao Shi's attitude, I'm afraid it would be impossible not to invite him for this meal. Jiang Yue didn't show any pretense at the moment. With this level of consumption, a dozen or twenty silver coins would be enough and rich enough.
When the drinks were served, Lao Shi made a circle attentively, and then specially offered a toast to Jiang Yue, expressing his gratitude again and again.
And he did it very happily himself.
After drinking to a certain level, Lao Shi started talking more, talking about what happened during his most glorious years and how he fell into decline step by step. By the end of the sentence, Lao Shi's eyes were red, and his tone was filled with sadness.
Very sad.
"Brother Mushroom Man, it's not me, Shi Chui. If I had a backer like Bronze Box, I wouldn't necessarily be worse off than him. To put it bluntly, even if you are a gangster these days, there must be someone above you. Without a backer, you can do anything.
Don’t try to make it big.”
Jiang Yue chuckled and said: "Old Shi, you can speak so clearly, why don't you find a backer yourself?"
"I do think so, but who can look down on me as a down-and-out charlatan? And in this circle, there is never help in times of trouble, only adding insult to injury. I am unlucky, old Shi. How many people have ruined my reputation and want to make me a bad person.
Which of these backers do you think is willing to accept a stinky adventurer?"
This guy has probably been feeling wronged for too long and has gone crazy.
Based on the awkward relationship between him and Jiang Yue, these words were originally impossible to say. It is the most basic principle of human relations to communicate only superficially and not deeply.
But he still couldn't hold it back, and he spoke very emotionally and deeply, which showed that he was feeling aggrieved for more than a day or two.
