Looking away from the gunman who was howling after being driven away by the flame bee, Red Fish shifted his gaze to Gu Chen with a slightly complicated expression.
Red Fish has a deep-rooted dislike for Master Fang, but as a healer, Gu Chen has a skill that makes people trust him. His calm judgment when attacking the ant nest also impressed the female flame envoy.
The fact that Du was rescued by Gu Chen made it impossible for Hongyu to put on a strong face no matter what.
Hongyu stared at Gu Chen and hesitated for a long time, and finally exhaled as if he had made up his mind.
"When I fell into the crypt, without Gu Chen's help, I probably wouldn't have been able to come out on my own, right? All collection commissions have a time limit. Even if the materials are collected, if they are not handed over to the employer within the time limit, the commission will be considered a failure.
.So I will leave these longevity fruits to you, Gu Chen, for disposal."
Hongyu handed over the bag of longevity fruit, and Gu Chen blinked in surprise.
"Miss Red Fish, isn't this not good?"
"No, no, Mr. Gu, just accept it." Soldier Guo Bei also agreed. "The pioneer's style is to repay kindness and pay debts. I owe you such a big favor before and this time. If you don't
Please accept some tokens of thanks. We won’t be able to hold our heads high when we see you in the future. Besides..."
"Say more?"
"Besides, I've never seen this girl speak so kindly to other men. Looking at this situation, the price of just a bag of longevity fruit is really cheap!"
The hot bronze staff tapped heavily on the soldier's instep. Guo Bei screamed and jumped on the spot holding his left leg. The red fish glared at the soldier angrily, then paused and turned his head to look at the silent man next to him.
Female swordsman.
"I think maybe I should take back what I said last time, Miss Feiyan."
"Oh?" Feiyan raised her eyebrows in surprise.
"I have always thought that masters are arbitrary, cold-blooded, selfish, and have no regard for others. This idea has not changed yet... However, the color of your master's coat seems to be different from other scoundrels." Red Fish whispered.
He glanced at someone. "Gewufang may be a trustworthy group. We should visit him often in the future."
"……welcome."
The translation of Hongyu's words means "I will come to Gewufang often to purchase elixirs in the future." From the perspective of a disciple of the workshop, it is certainly impossible for Feiyan to refuse the customer. However, the female swordsman who responded in a low voice,
Both his expression and tone were filled with a tone of strict vigilance.
The Thunder Sword user of the three major sword sects and the female Flame user holding the staff of Yan Wa, the two women, who also possess super-standard strength, stared at each other, and the two strong gazes that did not show weakness to each other made a sound in the air, the Thunder Sword
The flame staff also bounced off sparks and lightning. The suddenly tense atmosphere made Guo Bei, Xiaoyi and others next to them look nervous, but fortunately the two people there looked away in the next second.
"Gone."
Hongyu turned around and waved his companions to leave, but at this moment Gu Chen suddenly raised his hand to stop the female flame envoy.
"Please wait."
"Is there anything else?" Red Fish looked back.
"Well, actually, I have something to ask you." Gu Chen scratched his head in confusion.
Most of the pioneers are heroic people with clear grudges. Red Fish gave him the whole bag of longevity fruit, which certainly meant repaying the favor, but the price was that their commission this time would have to end in failure. Gu Chen didn't know about the contract.
Will there be any provisions such as compensation for failure in the meeting, but after consuming so much time and materials but not earning a penny, Guo Beizhu's wallet must be quite heavy.
Although Gewufang, who was also worried about his wallet, did not sympathize with others' spare time, Gu Chen still wanted to compensate them to some extent. In addition, he did have this need, so he turned to entrust it.
"Anyway, I hope you can help me collect this."
As he spoke, Gu Chen took out a crystal fragment the size of his thumb. He couldn't see it clearly when he was in the dark cave, but now when he puts it in the sunlight, he can see a red light like a flame swaying inside the crystal, which is quite wonderful.
.
"What? Where did you find this, Mr. Gu?" Guo Bei looked at the crystal curiously.
"Well, Miss Hongyu knows this." Gu Chen looked at Hongyu.
This crystal stone was the fragment of the crystal pillar that originally trapped the little beast. Gu Chen picked up a few pieces and carried them in his arms when he left the scene. The crystal stone was filled with heterogeneous spiritual beings, and the little beast itself was also full of mysteries.
Therefore, Gu Chen considered treating crystal stones as some kind of rare material and entrusted Guo Beizhu to collect them.
In fact, the underground ant nest is so complicated that except for Gu Chen and Red Fish who have experienced it personally, I am afraid no one can find the location of the broken crystal pillar. Red Fish did understand Gu Chen's idea, but did not immediately agree.
"You know the terrain and routes there better than I do, why don't you collect them yourself?"
"This time we came to Stone Pine Forest just to collect longevity fruits. Since we have achieved our goal, staying any longer will only increase unnecessary risks." Gu Chen shook his head sincerely. "I have learned a lesson from this experience. Outdoor activities
It’s really better to leave the matter to the experts.”
"Huh?" Red Fish narrowed his eyes slightly, seeming to be quite satisfied with the answer. Under the eager attention of the armored gun user next to him, the female flame user crossed her arms and thought deeply. After a long while, she opened her eyes and looked at Gu Chen.
"Is this a formal commission?"
"Yes. It is an official commission from 'Gewufang' to 'Guo Bei Group'." Gu Chen nodded.
"If that's the case, then there's no ambiguity about the price, right?" The female flame envoy waved her hand in an imposing manner.
……………………
Although there were some twists and turns in the process, in terms of results, Gewufang not only obtained the key materials for refining the dust-cleansing water as expected, but also met a group of pioneers with solid skills. If the unexpected harvest of talent is taken into account,
If taken into account, the results can be described as remarkable.
After entering the city, Red Fish Guo Bei and others bid farewell to Gu Chen for the time being. Guo Bei's group accepted the formal commission from Gewufang to collect crystal red stones, and stipulated the remuneration and time limit in the form of a contract. However, the commission was carried out before setting off for the Stone Pine Forest.
Before leaving, they must first report the failure of the commission to their former employer, and also go to the Fangzhi Division to report the appearance of the stone ant army underground. The report related to the stone ant colony has been written by Gu Chen on the way back, as agreed by both parties.
, the name of Gewufang will not be mentioned in the report.
During the rest period, Guo Bei's team will first complete the above tasks, and then collect materials before going to Shisong Forest to carry out the commission. This time Gu Chen generously paid a lot of elixirs as a deposit, so Guo Bei's team's financial pressure is not as high as expected.
It's great, maybe I can travel again soon.
On the other hand, after bidding farewell to Guo Beizhu, Gu Chen, who returned to the store, immediately fell into a state of closing the door and thanking guests.
Fang Zaosi ordered 500 bottles of Zhengqi water and 200 bottles of cleansing water from Gewufang for the amount of 2,000 silver coins. The female secretary helped Gewufang get a very favorable price, and the only requirement was that it must take two weeks.
Completed within.
In terms of the quantity of elixirs, two weeks was already a very tight time limit. In order to save costs, Gu Chen went to the stone pine forest to collect materials and spent almost a week going back and forth. As a result, the task of refining the elixir suddenly evolved into having to be refined within a week.
The hell difficulty of producing 700 elixirs.
Even with the blessing of the pure eyes that can see through the spirit Brahma, Gu Chen is still forced by the deadline to sleep for an hour every day, drink cleansing water to refresh himself, and refine the medicine of righteousness while staring at the dark circles. His tragic situation is probably
Only professional writers on the night before deadline can match this.
The only one who can refine elixirs is the master, and Feiyan and Xiaoyi can only stare. However, the two of them take turns on duty, at least ensuring that there is always someone around the master who can use it, which really helps Gu Chen a lot. After the hell march lasted for a week
, Gu Chen finally reached the end of the order before the oil lamp ran out.
"Next...it's up to you..."
With the deceased sighing sadly, Gu Chen handed the last bottle of dust-cleansing water to the female swordsman's hand, and then closed his eyes.
