Faced with Zhang Lang's question, Nangong Li smiled slightly: "I heard that you are a newly registered adventurer who just came to Qiongluo Island... you may not know much about the previous situation here."
"A year ago, the top of the World Tree bore fruit for the first time. At that time, we released a golden mission that had been sealed for hundreds of years. Adventurers from all over the world gathered in Shade City to conquer this towering tree.
.”
"In the end, an unprecedentedly powerful adventurer successfully climbed to the top, successfully picked the fruit, and won the title of King of Adventurers. This was the first time humans conquered the World Tree."
"However, the King of Adventure was unruly by nature and left to travel to other continents soon after. Before him, other adventurers had only climbed to the third level of the World Tree at most."
"After his strategy, all the layer masters of each layer of the World Tree were killed, and the difficulty of climbing was greatly reduced. But even so, climbing the World Tree is still a severe challenge for other adventurers. Now in the past year
, we can only climb steadily to the fifth floor. The road to the sixth floor is blocked by the new floor leader...that is, the mutant hermit crab you killed."
"You want me to continue climbing up and clear the obstacles for you?" Zhang Lang understood Nangong Li's wishes.
"Not just upwards." Nangong Li smiled: "The guild hopes to completely conquer the World Tree, build infrastructure on each level to facilitate adventurers going up and down, and even build settlements on the tree so that humans can live on it for a long time.
Continue to exploit the resources of this giant tree."
"Each level of World Tree is complex and vast. The danger is not limited to the level owner. Our people will encounter all kinds of troubles when building facilities on each level. Solving these troubles is the task that adventurers do every day.
.”
"Mr. Hunter, your strength is the most powerful I have ever seen, second only to the King of Adventurers. I hope that you, as a sharp knife of the Adventurers Association, can penetrate into the most difficult bones on the World Tree and serve for the benefit of mankind."
Clear the way to conquest!”
As he said that, Nangong Li took out a small box. After opening it, there was a thick stack of gold coupons inside: "Of course, we will also pay generous rewards for this!"
Zhang Lang pushed the box of gold coupons back without even looking at them: "I don't want money. If you want to hire me, you don't have to go to so much trouble. Just divide the things that need to be done into various tasks according to the difficulty, and give them to me first."
Can……"
"Mission?" Nangong Li was slightly stunned. Her original intention was to transform the hunter from an adventurer into a mercenary, and then develop him into a direct lineage loyal to the Nangong family. However, it seems that the hunter seems to be very attached to his identity as an adventurer?
"Don't you want to be restrained?" Nangong Li said with a smile: "Don't worry, we will not restrict your freedom too much, we just hope to establish a stable and long-term cooperative relationship with you..."
"It has nothing to do with that..." Zhang Lang waved his hand: "I just need to do the task... Don't worry, in the next period of time, I will complete the tasks assigned by you with the highest efficiency. I don't even need any reward, as long as you
Just provide me with room and board."
"As long as food and accommodation are included?" Nangong Li was even more confused.
Zhang Lang nodded: "But I also have some requirements."
Here it comes! As expected, Nangong Li Xindao was not a pie in the sky. He was immediately mentally prepared for a massive hemorrhage and planned to listen to the terms of this mysterious and powerful man.
"First, I want the detailed information you currently have about the World Tree and its surrounding environment."
"Second, I need you to release tasks in a planned manner. It's best if someone helps me classify tasks and plan routes so that I can complete tasks as quickly as possible and avoid unnecessary mistakes."
"Third, I only accept tasks that are yellow or above. Of course, the higher the difficulty, the better, and I don't need any teammates... don't give the tasks assigned to me to other people, they will only hinder me."
"Fourth, it is not convenient for me to carry too many mission items alone, so for some missions, you need to send someone to check and accept the mission results..."
After saying all this, Zhang Lang looked into Nangong Li's eyes.
"Just...that's it?" Nangong Li took a long time to calm down: "Is there nothing else?"
"Let's wait until I think about it." Zhang Lang touched his chin: "Follow this method for two days. If there is a better way to improve efficiency, we can discuss it again."
Nangong Li's open mouth could fit an egg in. She thought the hunter in front of her would open his mouth like a lion, but she didn't expect that all the requests were to increase work efficiency... and there was no pay for overtime work!
She has been running the guild for so many years, and this is the first time she has seen such an adventurer!
With such generous conditions, Nangong Li naturally had no reason not to agree, but she still kept a cautious eye on it, guarding against possible hidden traps.
After agreeing on some details, Zhang Lang stood up and planned to leave, but when he reached the door of the office, he suddenly stopped and turned around: "By the way, there is something else I want to try..."
Coming? Nangong Li was agitated, thinking that this guy is going to reveal his true intentions?
Zhang Lang returned to the sofa and picked up a cup: "Can you issue a task for me?"
Nangong Li was stunned and blinked in confusion.
…………
It was already dinner time, but the popularity of the Adventurer's Guild hall had not diminished at all.
There are also many species of insects that are nocturnal, so evening is also the peak time for the guild to release tasks. Many adventurers gather here, hoping to grab suitable tasks.
"Come and post the task list!"
As a young staff member walked down the stairs with a stack of task sheets, most of the adventurers gathered next to the bulletin board.
"Blue-spotted fireflies? That thing is quite ferocious and not easy to deal with!"
"Night Hu Feng? Don't these things live in groups? They need to form a group!"
"Song soil earthworms, this is okay, but the reward is not very high..."
"I want this! Phosphorescent moths, I have hunted them before and have experience!"
…
Everyone was discussing and selecting tasks that suited them. Finally, a task list with a black border attracted everyone's attention.
"Another black mission has been released!"
"Are we going to conquer the floor leader again? Or destroy the large monster nest? Let me see, let me see..."
The closest adventurer read out the mission requirement: "Find President Nangong Li's lost...teacup?"
"What mission is this?"
"President Nangong's teacup was lost? When did it happen? What kind of thing was it?"
"Isn't there a picture below... But the question is, why is finding a teacup a black mission?"
"Did the teacup be stolen by a legendary monster? Is the teacup a very important magic item?"
"No, if it's a black mission, why is the reward so low? Only ten gold coins?"
Everyone was talking about it, but no one dared to take it because of the horror of the black mission.
Just then, a man squeezed through the crowd and tore off the assignment.
When everyone took a look, wasn't this the hunter who killed the floor leader before?
Everyone unanimously made a way. Zhang Lang came to the front desk with the task list, registered to receive the task, and then took out a teacup from his arms, which was exactly the same as the one drawn on the task list...
"Uh..." Murong Wei had already got off work at this moment, and the person who was responsible for receiving him was the night shift staff. She didn't know what happened during the day, but seeing that the man in front of her was still a hound, she took out the items from the black mission, and was a little confused for a moment.
Didn't respond.
Just when she was thinking about whether the cup was authentic or not, a higher-level staff member ran down from upstairs and came to her window to say a few words. The little girl nodded and immediately completed the task for Zhang Lang.
procedures.
After receiving the reward, Zhang Lang frowned slightly and left the guild without saying anything.
This scene made the adventurers present look at each other, wondering what medicine he was selling in his gourd...
"I just said that this kind of trick method won't work!" Xu's sarcastic voice sounded in Zhang Lang's mind: "Let the guild release easy-to-complete tasks and increase the difficulty so that you can complete the points again. How can the altar leave you such a
Big loophole?”
"There's nothing wrong with giving it a try..." Zhang Lang walked on the road to Shade City: "If you can't use tricks, just do the mission in a down-to-earth manner. The adventure will officially begin tomorrow morning!"
