Ten days later, the three of them sat in the living room with a disgraced face. On the wooden table lay more than a hundred golden coins, which were all they had now.

"What a commission! How come one only has ten gold coins!? Heywood munched on her bread and grumbled.

Du Yuhan looked at the balance on the table depressedly, frowning in distress.

The day after they moved, they went to the mercenary hall in the royal city, intending to take a few low-level commissions. But after arriving, I found that the amount of those low-level orders is very low, and most of them have a time limit; There is no time limit, and those that require the collection of large amounts of raw materials.

Du Yuhan secretly thought that with their strength, it was not reliable to accept those with time limits, and it was better to accept the collection commission in a down-to-earth manner, so that they could collect other materials and sell them for money.

So, a few people summed it up, received a few commissions and set off.

Du Yuhan later felt that he had made a mistake that many market analysts could make.

One-sidedly exaggerating the revenue prospects, ignoring the government's policy information, and directly leading the three retail investors to be trapped.

Not only are the number of low-level orders required enormous, but the distribution of Warcraft is very scattered. Since they were not familiar with the surrounding environment, after more than ten days of running around, although the entrusted items were barely collected, they had no time to take care of the materials along the way, so they could only hastily pick up some more valuable ones.

Tired and tired to rush back to the royal city, he finally handed in the task, planning to sell all the low-level materials on hand to help make up for the family.

But Du Yuhan overlooked a very important point - as a royal city, there is a large number of people coming in and out every day, including mercenaries of various professions and itinerant traders. The huge transaction volume has made Wangcheng's economy very prosperous, but it has also caused the purchase price of low-grade raw materials to be very low.

From the acquisition point, they counted the gold coins on their bodies, and tragically found that the gold coins earned by these entrusted tasks were not enough for a few people to repair their weapons.

Now that their financial situation is in a state of making ends meet, they need to be careful about what supplies they want to buy, and other magic supplies are fine, but life-and-death healing potions can't be saved.

It seems that running a family is also a college question...... Du Yuhan rubbed the throbbing corners of his forehead.

"Don't be too nervous, we still have a few high-level demon cores on us, we really can't stand it, we can sell it first." Holding a pot of steaming medicinal tea in front of him, Kevin patted Du Yuhan on the shoulder, "Don't put too much pressure on yourself." ”

"Hmm." Du Yuhan pulled out a smile, but the wrinkles in the center of his eyebrows still couldn't be stretched.

"It's been a long time since I've eaten meat!" Foodie Heywood began to complain.

"I see you didn't eat a lot in the wild two days ago?" Kevin glanced at him.

Two days ago, they met a fourth-order twist cow on the road, and the right hind leg with the best meat quality was actually snatched away by this shameless beast. This is what he made for Han and deliberately left it!

Hearing this, Heywood became angry, "If you hadn't treated me as a parallel import, would I have been injured?!" If you get hurt, you must make up for it. ”

In a fit of rage, Kevin directly released Heywood for a few days in a row, and as long as it was not a life-threatening situation, he would never take action.

Because Kevin didn't treat himself today, he had to recuperate yesterday, and Heywood felt that there was nothing wrong with this logic at all.

As a result, the amount of healing potions used was much higher, and the already tight finances were now even worse.

"You brainless beast, your logic has been eaten by you?"

"What's wrong with my logic?!"

"Is it really a compliment to say that you have no brains?"

"You sissy!"

“…… Alas......"

At this moment, Du Yuhan deeply understands what internal and external troubles are.

*********************

The next day, the group went to the mercenary hall again, intending to check out some of the available quests.

The Mercenary Hall is located in the south-central district of Wangcheng, just across the street from the commercial street. The three-story building is the tallest building outside of the Castle Lord's Mansion.

On the first floor of the building is the Mercenary Service Hall, which is dedicated to the collection and delivery of commissioned tasks.

On the wall in the middle of the room, there is a large bulletin slate. The surface of the slate is engraved with high-level inscriptions of magic runes, and the information of various commissions is divided into categories, all listed one by one, and constantly updated in real time under the drive of magic. Many mercenaries will stay here to find the information they need, and when they find a suitable mission, they can get it directly.

The second floor is a dedicated service area for employers, which is used for the release and acceptance of commissions.

In order to ensure the safety of the employer and the mercenary*, the employer and the mercenary are not on the same floor. This avoids the fact that the mercenary delivers the quest items only to stealthily snatch them back.

The top three floors are the trading venues for designated orders.

Due to the different nature of the commission, some employers will choose to appoint certain super mercenary teams, and the mercenary hall will also provide a place for both parties to negotiate, which can be regarded as a proof of authority for a third party. Although this kind of commission does not go through the mercenary organization, it still has binding effect.

Although it was still early, the hall was already crowded. Some are mercenary squads preparing to receive tasks, some are mission employers who want to post their needs, some are adventurers who have just returned, carrying a large number of mission items to deliver the commission, and some are mercenaries who are ready to go, counting the supplies on their bodies.

Passing through the bustling crowd, they crowded onto the bulletin board to check the information. However, this time, Du Yuhan did not search for those low-level tasks, but focused on querying some middle-level commissions.

He thought about it, the commission fee for a low-level mission was ten to twenty gold coins, and after deducting the mercenary organization's handling fee and the normal mission cost, the net profit they could get was very small at all. And the price of low-end materials on this rotten street can't be sold for a few bucks at all.

However, the commission fee for a mid-level task is 100 to 300 gold coins, although the difficulty will increase, but the time is also more abundant, and I believe that with the strength of the three of them, there will be no big problem to complete. And you can also take some low-level orders along the way, and you can also increase your income when you complete it along the way.

Under Kevin's translation, Du Yuhan copied several sets of commissioned codes, and when he copied a code, he found that it was actually a high-level commission, with a strange logo behind it.

The strangest thing is that although this is a high-level task, the amount of entrustment is the same as that of ordinary high-level, but it is classified into the column of medium-level commissions, and after looking at the release time, it is already ten days ago.

"What is this?" He handed the parchment to Kevin, but although Kevin had traveled all over the world before, he had always been an assistant by Noyce's side, and had never taken on mercenary tasks, and he didn't see the meaning of this special mark.

Looking at the impatient expression of the waiter sitting on the windowsill, Du Yuhan decided to ask the rugged uncle next door.

"Haha, young man, is it your first time doing a mission?" The uncle laughed and patted him on the shoulder.

"We're all newbies, so we don't want to find someone good to teach us!" was slapped grinning, Du Yuhan showed a shy expression on his face, and his subordinates secretly stuffed ten gold coins to the other party, "Uncle, can you introduce me?" ”

The other party's upper way made the big man smile, he laughed a few times, and immediately stuffed the gold coin into his trouser pocket, "Ask, what do you want to know?" ”

"Can you tell us what that logo means?" Du Yuhan was no longer polite, and pointed to the logo on the paper.

Dahan glanced at it and said briskly: "This is a team formation commission issued by the mercenaries. ”

"Mercenaries?" Du Yuhan blinked. He thought that only employers would issue commissions, but he didn't expect that there were also mercenaries who would issue commissions.

It turns out that not all mercenaries will have a mercenary team to which they belong. There are many employers who will issue some high-level commissions, and those scattered mercenaries take them, but they can't cope with them on their own, so they will issue commissions again in the mercenary hall, and this kind of commission is purely for teaming needs.

All secondary release commissions will be followed by such a logo, and the difficulty will be adjusted according to the situation after the team is formed.

"Then why hasn't anyone taken this commission for so long?" Kevin asked, confused.

If it's this kind of order with a low level and a high bounty, it stands to reason that it should be very sought-after. But this task has been idle for nearly ten days, and no one has been interested, which has to make people suspicious.

"There must be some reason for that." The big man scratched his stubble chin and grinned.

"Oh? Can Uncle give me some pointers? Du Yuhan's eyes flashed, and ten gold coins were stuffed under his hand without a trace.

Seeing that the other party knew each other so well, Dahan no longer hid it.

Generally speaking, the amount of the commission will be divided equally after forming a party, but some mercenaries will hide the actual amount of their employer and reduce the amount of the bounty so that they can monopolize the large share. In this way, although the reward for this kind of high-level task is higher and the difficulty is relatively low, this kind of team commission for secondary release is rarely asked.

After listening, Du Yuhan nodded clearly. Mercenaries are all professions that live on the edge of the knife, exchanging their lives for money, how can this kind of personality be willing to make wedding dresses for others?

After thanking the uncle, they carefully checked some low-level commissions, and then returned to the residence with the materials.

The three of them gathered on a wooden table in the dining room, compared the copied commissions one by one, and finally selected two relatively simple intermediate tasks.

Just as Du Yuhan was planning the route, Heywood glanced at the high-level commission with a special logo.

"Hey, aren't you going to take this task?" He picked up the parchment and examined it carefully, "The bounty is five thousand!" The other mid-level tasks don't add up to a fraction of that! ”

"Can you guarantee that we can do this safely?" Du Yuhan didn't raise his head, of course he knew how high the amount of this entrustment was, but it was accompanied by high risks.

"I don't think it's too difficult!" He had already read the content of the commission, so it would not be too difficult. Isn't it just to go to a cave and dig up a few gems, even if there will be some magical beasts inside, the level of magical beasts in that area will not be too high.

"It's not the monsters that are dangerous, it's the people." Kevin raised his eyebrows with his hands on his chest, "It's really not difficult to entrust this task, but if the mercenaries who are with us suddenly attack after completing the mission, they will kill us all so that he can swallow all the money alone." How long do you think we can resist with our current capabilities? ”

Heywood frowned, this is indeed very likely.

During the day, he learned from the mouth of the big man that the slightly better mercenaries just kept the amount down, but that was only for someone of his strength. But if the other party finds that the person who teamed up with him is much weaker than himself, then it is better to simply kill the others and get all the rewards himself.

These mercenaries can do anything for money.

But it's 5,000 gold coins, it's a shame to give up so plainly! With this amount of money, they can at least be on the market for a while, and they won't even have to think about eating meat like now.

With a roll of his eyes, Heywood had a plan, "Then let's ask the other party to talk about the commission first, first, to observe the situation, and second, to learn more about the details of the mission." If the other party is really a vicious mercenary, then we won't be able to take it? ”

Du Yuhan touched his chin and carefully weighed the feasibility of this construction.

If you just sit down and talk in detail, saying that you want to understand the situation, this is a reasonable reason. If the other party does not accept it, they simply give up; If the other party accepts, then they can take the opportunity to observe the other party's situation, and if appropriate, it is not impossible to accept the commission.

After all, this amount of money is not a small amount, and with it, at least life will not be so stretched.

***********************

So they came to the mercenary hall again and applied for an invitation to meet on the pretext of knowing the details of the commission. The other party readily agreed, and it didn't take long for them to meet the mercenary who issued the commission on the third floor of the mercenary hall.

What the three of them didn't expect was that this was still an acquaintance.

"Bruno?!" They looked at the handsome man sitting in the room in amazement.

"It's you!" Unexpectedly, he would meet again in this situation, Bruno was surprised and delighted, "Is that what you applied to meet?" ”

Du Yuhan nodded, and the other party was obviously relieved, "I'm still worried that it's some tough mercenaries, but I'm relieved to see that it's you." ”

didn't expect the other party to think the same as himself, and they looked at each other and smiled.

After the greetings, Du Yuhan hadn't forgotten the purpose of his trip, and hurriedly asked about the matter, "Bruno, why do you want to take on the mercenary mission?" ”

He remembered that on the journey, Bruno had mentioned to him that he was going to take his brother to see a doctor, but why did he run to take over the commission? If you are short of money, it should not be a high-level order that cannot be completed on your own.

Bruno's eyes lit up with hope, "Because I want a medicinal herb." ”

That day, after saying goodbye to the three of them, he took his younger brother to the most famous hospital in the city. I heard that there is a healer there who can repair the wounds on the soul, and maybe it will be good for Vic's condition.

After careful examination, the doctor was in trouble. Vic's situation is more severe, and it is not that his soul has been damaged, but that he has lost it directly. If it is only damaged, as long as there are enough funds to buy medicinal herbs, it can still be cured.

But if you lose it, it's very difficult to do, it's equivalent to rebuilding a complete soul, not to mention the trouble, the cost is extremely expensive, and the effect is not good.

But at Bruno's insistence, the doctor could only prescribe him a list of medicinal herbs, which listed a variety of very scarce herbs, which were difficult to buy even if he had money.

Seeing the other party's sad expression, the doctor, in the spirit of the doctor's parents' heart, built a plan for him to try his luck in the mercenary hall, after all, there are all kinds of commissions over there, and maybe there will be a reward that contains one of the medicinal herbs.

So, Bruno searched the mercenary hall for several days. Luckily, one of the high-order bonuses included one of the herbs. He was ecstatic and couldn't wait to take the commission. But later he found that this commission could not be completed alone, so he had to issue a second commission in the hall.

I didn't expect the commission of the second release to be so unpopular here, and after waiting for more than ten days, only one person agreed to join the team. Seeing that it had been almost two months since he came out of the house, it was impossible for him to stay here all the time for this matter, just when Bruno was at a loss, Du Yuhan and the others came to the door.

"In other words, you only need the herbs in the bounty reward?" Kevin asked with a smile on his face as he looked at Bruno.

Hearing this, in order to dispel the other party's doubts, Bruno generously took out the employer's original commission and pointed to the following column, "This is the employer's original task requirements, and this is the reward for the reward." ”

Kevin took the heavy brown paper and looked at it carefully. It devotes a lot of space to elaborate on the main content of the commission, and in the last column, the various bounties for this commission are marked, a total of five thousand gold coins and twenty seventh-order magic cores, as well as the kind of medicinal materials that Bruno said. Kevin recognized that the herb was indeed repairing for the soul, and it seemed that the other party had not deceived them.

"All I need is that herb, and I'll give you the rest." Bruno is happy to see the honest stall, anyway, he is not short of money, the main purpose is also to treat his brother's illness.

Seeing that Kevin nodded at him without a trace, Du Yuhan hooked the corners of his mouth, he likes to deal with gentlemen, this is interesting enough. But he hadn't forgotten a very important point, "You said that besides you, there was a mercenary who joined the team?" ”

Bruno nodded, then shook his head.

Heywood frowned suspiciously, "What do you mean?" ”

"He doesn't look like a mercenary, and he doesn't smell blood." He lowered his eyes and recalled, "According to him, he went to that place to find something in order to complete a professional trial, and he didn't seem to be interested in bonuses. ”

"Oh?" Du Yuhan raised half of his eyebrows. If you just want to go to one place to complete the trial, then just follow a strong mercenary team, maybe you will have to complete it a long time ago. But why does the other party have to stumble on this commission? Or is it for some purpose?

It's no wonder that he thinks of others so despicable, as the so-called defense of people is indispensable, if you want to survive in this world, if you don't have more eyes, I'm afraid you won't know what's going on until you die.

Seeing Du Yuhan's doubts, Bruno shrugged helplessly, "That's how he explained to me, as for whether it's true or not, I don't know." ”

Du Yuhan nodded in understanding, it seems that he can only watch it when they meet.

"When are you going to go?" Heywood asked impatiently. In his opinion, the personnel are all ready, and it should be time to set off to do the mission. The thought that after completing the task, he could eat a delicious meal, and he couldn't bear it. Well, after coming back, I want Du Yuhan to make another hot pot!

"If you're okay, you can do it anytime." In this regard, Bruno also expressed his impatience.

Lowering his eyes and thinking secretly, Du Yuhan put forward his own thoughts, "That's it, let's set off early the day after tomorrow, and we will make preparations in the next two days, what do you think?" ”

Bruno thought for a moment, then agreed with his jaw. "Okay, then I'll inform the other mercenaries later." Actually, he wanted to set off immediately, but it would be better to take a rest first. Anyway, he's been waiting for so many days, and he doesn't care about waiting two more days.
