In the guard hall, the Xia brothers were dumbfounded at this moment.
"You said that mission was abandoned, how could it appear on the mission monument?" Xia Tian asked an old man in a robe standing in front of him.
"Because the staff responsible for the task made some mistakes that day, they were not removed in time. This is our mistake. We can give you two brothers some compensation, each of you will be compensated 5 spirit coins."
Spirit coins are a common currency in Yunmeng Realm. Just like gold coins in the real world, they are rare resources. The annual income of an ordinary family is only between 2 and 3 spirit coins.
The old man in robe looked at Xia Tian and Qiu, and continued: "Based on the village you are in, 10 spirit coins is almost the entire income of your village."
"How can this be compared?" Xia Tian didn't say anything, but Qiu quit, with an angry look on his face, "We didn't accept this mission just for ten spirit coins."
With their level as third-level fortune tellers, how could they not earn these ten spirit coins if they really wanted to make money? This was simply humiliating them.
"I will give you ten spirit coins as compensation for your hard work. According to normal procedures, you will not be compensated. Who told you not to ask more clearly."
Xia Tian and Qiu had a look of grievance on their faces. They were very excited when they saw this mission. Because they were afraid of being snatched away by others, they went directly to carry out the mission after accepting it without any delay.
There will be a task monument every hundred miles in the Yunmeng Realm, and on this task monument there are tasks issued by the four major families and others.
The four major families can publish tasks to the entire Yunmeng Realm for free, but if anyone else wants to publish a task, they have to pay a price of one hundred spirit coins.
Therefore, the person who issues the task must go to the guard hall to pay spiritual coins and prove his financial resources. Otherwise, if someone accepts the task and completes it, but is cheated and does not get the corresponding reward, then the entire task system will be ruined.
However, the person who accepts the task does not have to do this. He only needs to enter the information on the task monument to accept the task. However, in order to prevent some people from maliciously accepting the task and not completing it, the task monument will give rewards to those who have not completed the task five times.
The following is on the blacklist, and you will no longer be able to accept tasks or publish tasks from now on.
The mission system is an important existence in Yunmeng Realm. No one wants to be blacklisted by the mission system, so there will never be anyone who accepts a mission and fails to complete it, or takes on a mission that cannot be completed.
"Do you want these 10 spirit coins to be gone?" The old man in the robe showed an impatient look on his face and said to the two brothers Xia Tian.
"Deacon, you are going too far to deceive others like this." Xia Tian suppressed his anger. Although the two brothers only focus on cultivation, it does not mean that they have no understanding of the outside world.
Xia Tian once heard someone say that some low-level tasks are anonymous. In other words, no matter who takes the task, even if the person who hands in the task later is not the person who took the task, the Guards Department will not care, because the requirements of this task are
There are no special requirements for candidates.
This is especially true for the most common guard tasks. As long as nothing happens at the guarded place within the task time, that's it. As for who hands in the task, the task issuer doesn't care at all.
Therefore, in such a situation, some people will pretend to accept tasks, especially some relatively unpopular tasks. Because the reward is not much but the time to perform the task is long, generally only practitioners from such a humble background will take it.
But even such tasks are still sometimes taken away by some members of the family, and there is no room for reasoning. The other party can just bribe the deacon of the guard hall.
As for the appeal, where can a small third-level cultivator from a poor family go? Moreover, if he really wanted to make a big fuss, he might even lose his life.
Therefore, even though he knew that his and his disciples' mission this time was faked, Xia Tian had to suppress his younger brother. If the points were gone, he could get them again, but he only had one life.
"Spirit coins, we want them."
Xia Tian stretched out his hand to get the ten spirit coins. However, just when Xia Tian stretched out his hand, the old man in the robe opened his hand, and the ten spirit coins in his palm fell from his fingers and fell on the ground.
on the ground.
"Sorry, I accidentally dropped it on the ground. If you want these ten spirit coins, go pick them up yourself."
The old man in the robe said sorry, but then his eyes squinted at the Xia brothers with a playful smile.
The old man in the robe did it on purpose. The two brothers Xia Tian could tell it at a glance. The two brothers clenched their fists tightly.
Act impulsively.
This is the guard hall. Those who cause trouble here will face the most severe punishment in the county and may even be killed.
Xia Tian knew very well that if he and his younger brother really took action, the old man in the robe would definitely kill them with his character. Not to mention that there were many third-level guards in the guard hall, this deacon was at the mid-level fourth-level realm.
, one person can kill both of their brothers.
Tolerance, can only endure!
"Why, don't you want it? These are ten spirit coins, enough for you to live for a year or two. You just need to lower your head and bend down to pick it up."
The old man in robes squinted his eyes at Brother Xia Tian. Two boys from remote villages dared to show their faces to him. They were simply looking for death.
You must know that for this mission, the host and guest gave him twenty spiritual coins to send to the person who completed the mission, and he himself received a considerable amount of income.
However, after meeting this Xia Tian, the old man in robes planned to give him only ten spirit coins and keep the other ten spirit coins for himself.
Ten spiritual coins were enough for him to serve as a deacon in the guard hall for one month. Of course, private income like this was another matter.
"What I'm doing this time is to tell you, young people, don't be too willful. The world is not as simple as you think." After saying this, the old man in the robe turned around, put his hands behind his back, and left slowly.
"Brother, are we?"
Watching the old man in robe leave, Qiu Qiu's face turned red from suppressing it. He really wanted to punch the old man in robe, but his right hand was tightly held by his brother.
Xia Tian did not speak, but squatted down, because the old man in the robe was right. To them, ten spirit coins were indeed not a small amount.
They cannot be willful, even if lowering their heads to pick up these ten spirit coins means losing their dignity, a penny has stumped many heroes.
"Brother, what are you doing?" Qiu Qiu saw her brother squatting down and quickly stretched out his hand to pull it, "Brother, I'll pick it up."
"No, you stand still. I have already bent down, but your spine must be straight. Only one person in our Wang family can bend down." Xia Tian looked at his younger brother and said seriously.
"elder brother!"
Qiu Qiu's eyes suddenly turned red. He knew what his brother meant.
At this moment, the old man in robes had already left the hall, humming a tune leisurely. This transaction was successful, and he had two hundred more spirit coins, which was enough for him to exchange for cultivation resources for a year.
However, when the old man in robes walked to the corridor, he found a young man in front of him looking at him with a playful expression.
"What are you doing in the hall? If you don't go on duty, why are you standing here?" The old man in the robe frowned and asked when he saw the young man.
In the eyes of the old man in robes, this young man should be from the guard hall. Although he looks a little strange, there are people coming and leaving the guard hall every month, so it is normal for him not to recognize him.
"Of course I came here to wait for you!" The young man looked at the old man in robe with a smile, "I have something to ask you for help here."
"Can I help you with something?" The old man in the robe was stunned for a moment, and then a smile appeared on his face, because since he became a deacon, many people have come to him for help, such as the two poor boys in the hall.
This is how the deal was done.
"What do you want from me?" the old man in robe asked with a smile.
"It's a very simple favor. I think the deacon should be very willing to do it." The young man was naturally Qin Yu. Looking at the greedy look on the face of the old man in robes, he said: "I want to borrow the deacon's head."
One use.”
"You...what did you say!" The old man in robe didn't react at first, but when he did, his expression suddenly changed, "Are you looking for death?"
Qin Yu didn't speak any more. He was only in the middle stage of the fourth grade. He stretched out his right hand and pointed towards the old man in robe.
call out!
Silently, the old man in robe fell to the ground, and Qin Yu's figure disappeared into the corridor.
"Brother Xiao, let's go."
When brother Xia Tian came out of the guard hall, he saw Qin Yu standing there calmly, Xia Tian forced a smile on his face and said.
Even a simple person would not speak out about the insult he received in the hall.
Looking at Qiu Qiu's red eyes, Qin Yu sighed in his heart. He could not take action in the hall, because if he did, unless all the people in the guard hall were killed, it would only hurt the two brothers Xia Tian.
Because he is an outsider, and although the highest level in this county is only a grandmaster, Qin Yu does not dare to take risks, so he can only choose this method.
Sometimes, humiliation is the driving force for progress. Qin Yu believes that after this incident, the two Xia brothers will only practice harder.
"Okay let's go."
Qin Yu patted Qiu Qiu's shoulder, and then the three of them walked in the other direction of the county town.
However, in this case, Qin Yu's move this time still caused a sensation in some quarters. (To be continued)
