12. Pipeline operation
When we got back to the inn, it was half past six.
Although it was a busy day and no one was tired, everyone was in good spirits.
"In order to celebrate the addition of the stars, and today's fruitful harvest!" Long Xin said generously: "Eat a big meal today, you can eat whatever you want!" ”
"Since it's a treat for the master, we are disrespectful. I don't know what politeness means: "Xiao Er, bring a plate of each of your signature dishes!"
"Four more pots of good jade carving girls!" Long Zhan also refused to let go of this rare opportunity.
The signature dishes of the inn are quite famous, there are 12 large plates, and the color, flavor and flavor are complete, and almost even the table is full! It is not much inferior to the Chinese cuisine of the previous life, and the four of us are full of appetite, and after we are full of wine and food, we all have red faces and big bellies, and we can't even move.
"Drink!" Long Zhan burped contentedly: "It's so full!"
Long Xin also touched her bulging belly very unladylikely, and leaned back on the chair and let out a long sigh of satisfaction.
We sat like this with nothing to do, chatting about the development of the gang in the future and our own martial arts experiences. Since Long Zhan and I are both warriors, naturally, we have a lot to talk about.
"Then, after comprehending the sword technique of attacking and killing, what are your plans?" asked Long Zhan.
"I think I'll go to the centipede cave of Mengzhong!" Actually, I had planned it a long time ago, but now that I have joined the Dragon Gang, I have to spend some effort on the development of the gang.
"Is it to practice assassination swordsmanship?"
"Yes!" I nodded slightly.
"That's just right!" Long Qi pondered: "According to our current progress, it will take about four days to complete the task, I believe that when the task is completed, your attack and killing swordsmanship should also be able to comprehend!
"Ahh
"What's so strange about this!" Long Xin explained with a smile: "Although we have set up a gang, in fact, it is only for the convenience of the left mission, and the main thing is mainly to cultivate skills! If it weren't for the purpose of reaching the second-level gang, so as to provide convenience for future cultivation, we would have gone to the alliance there a long time ago and would have gone to the Skull Cave to do that kind of monotonous collection task." ”
"Hehe, but, it's okay to go!, or somewhere else to meet you!" Long Qi sighed with emotion.
"I see!" I finally figured out why they appeared in the Skull Cave, "Then you also went to the Centipede Cave to cultivate more advanced skills?"
"Yes!" Long Zhan said: "I've been practicing my attack and killing swordsmanship for half a year, it's time to go to the Centipede Cave to take a closer step of cultivation!"
It seems that I will not be lonely in the future, and I secretly thought to myself that with them, I could save a lot of trouble.
"Let's talk first, I'll take a shower!" Long Xin stood up with difficulty, seemingly not fully digested.
After that, I chatted with Long Qi and Long Zhan. I also learned that the three of them were all noble children of the Beichuan Long family in Bairimen, and it was only in order to complete their studies that they began to go out to cultivate, and at the same time enhance their knowledge and accumulate experience for taking care of family affairs in the future. This is a tradition peculiar to the nobility of the Fama continent. Every noble child must go through a period of training outside the country before he is qualified to inherit the family business or become the pillar of the family. And during this time, all the expenses and expenses have to be obtained through their own efforts, not only that, but every noble child who has been trained outside must achieve certain achievements, for example, the goal to be completed by the Dragon War is to be promoted to a high-level warrior, and this premise is to practice and complete the assassination swordsmanship, and obtain the twenty-eighth level warrior honor medal issued by the Ranger Guild. Not only that, but during this period, you can only completely pass the test with enough gold coins to earn 10,000 gold coins. As for Long Xin and Long Qi, the standards should be similar. Thinking that such a tradition has been handed down for 5,000 years, I have to say that these tests of the nobles are still very reasonable. These noble children will encounter all kinds of unimaginable difficulties in the process of training, which fully tests the will and perseverance of these noble children.
Those with poor quality are easily eliminated. And through cultivation, it is naturally the elite of the elite. These cultivators inherit the family business or become an important pillar of the family, and they will certainly continue to maintain the prosperity of the family. On the continent of Fama, there are many ancient families, some of which have survived for 3,000 years, largely thanks to this ancient tradition.
After a short break, we went upstairs together, and to my surprise, their room was just a hallway away from me.
When I got back to my room, I threw myself down on the bed, completely relaxed, and my mind kept reacting to the scene of the day in the Skull Cave, fighting the skeleton general, trying to figure out what else could be improved. But after thinking about it for a while, I didn't come to any conclusions. Maybe the strength of the skeleton generals is too weak.,And so when I fight against them.,,The shortcomings of my sword technique haven't been exposed.,But I'm sure,With the continuous improvement of the strength of the monsters I face in the future.,The weaknesses of this set of knife techniques will continue to be exposed.,But these are things I can't imagine out of thin air.,So I can only find a way to solve the problem when it arises.,There is a way to practice to know the truth.。
The problem of knife skills was put aside for the time being, and now that it has been six days since I came out, I decided to write a letter home, at least so that my mother and Kaede don't have to worry about me anymore. It took me an hour to write the letter.
Early the next morning, I ran to the post office in the town, sent the letter, and when I returned to the inn, I was just in time for Long Xin and the three of them to have breakfast. And I sat with them, of course.
"Wait a minute, go to the bulletin board and hand over the Eye of Skeletons that I collected yesterday. Long Xin summed up while nibbling on bread: "Also, Xingchen, let's go together later, and get the Ranger Certificate." ”
"Don't forget! hire a few more people to help us collect the Eye of the Skull. Long Qi explained, and after thinking about it, he added: "It's better to hire seven people, I don't imagine like yesterday." ”
"Hehe!" Long Zhan also smiled, putting on a look of palpitation.
"It's natural!" Long Xin continued: "However, you and Zhan go to the Skull Cave first, put away the Skeleton Eyes that we didn't have time to collect yesterday, at least don't be picked by others, you must know that we are not the only ones who have taken this task." ”
"En!" Long Qi and Long Zhan nodded at the same time.
After breakfast, Long Qi and Long Zhan immediately set off for the Skull Cave, while I followed Long Xin to the bulletin board to hand in the task, and at the same time, I also took the Ranger Certificate by the way.
The bulletin board of Fama World is somewhat similar to the train station in the previous life, and it is just a big sign outside the open air, which reads, Behind the few signs of the Ranger Guild in Maple Leaf Town, Rongcheng is a large house, which is very spacious, the size of half a football field, and the walls around it are listed with a list of hierarchical Ranger tasks. It reminds me of the train timetable I've seen in the station in my previous life.
Although it was just dawn, the bulletin board was already crowded with people, most of them rangers with weapons, and most of them wore uniform clothes and uniform gang markings to indicate their identity and gang membership. Completely different from what I imagined, although there were a lot of people on the bulletin board, there was no sense of noise. There are many people around the ranger task list carefully looking, choose the task that they think is suitable, and once they choose the task they think is suitable, they will take off the task number sign on the task list to the special task acceptance counter, handle the task handover procedures, the whole process, very simple and clear, very modern office automation taste
But more people sit around the central wine cabinet, drinking and chatting. It seems that in addition to issuing ranger missions, it is also a hotel business, and it is no wonder that so many people get together, and they are all rangers with extraordinary skills and arrogant personalities, it is difficult to imagine what it will be like if they are not given some entertainment programs to entertain them. And drinking and chatting are undoubtedly the most effective pastimes.
"Mission No. 0453" Long Xin led me to the task submission counter near the west wall, and took out a palm-sized square sign from his waist bag, which was the mission number sign of the Dragon Gang this time. Long Xin handed the sign to the management of the Ranger Guild in front of the counter.
"Well, Mission Number 0453 has collected 150,000 Eyes of Skulls in half a month!" The manager in front of the counter was a tall man about thirty years old, and after borrowing the sign, he quickly looked up our task list.
"Deliver 30,000 pieces today!" Long Xin took out fifteen small bags from the backpack behind him. It was placed in front of the counter.
"Dragon Gang!" The administrator looked at Long Xin and me carefully with a surprised expression: "I remember that the Dragon Gang has only been established for three days, and I didn't expect that you have already collected 30,000 Skeleton Eyes, and the speed is really fast!"
"Hehe, that's!" Long Xin's face was slightly red, but he couldn't hide his proud and proud look.
"Okay, the mission progress has been registered. The administrator handed the sign back to Long Xin: "Looking forward to your performance, come on!"
"Thank you!" It seems that Long Xin is a little girl after all, and he can't help but show a happy and smug look when he is praised, of course, he hasn't forgotten his business, and pulled me to another room! There were also more than a dozen teenagers about sixteen or seventeen years old lined up in front of the door. It seems that they're here for the Ranger qualification trial, just like me. I carefully calculated, there were fifteen people in total, and by the weapons they carried, I could see that there were ten warrior professions, three mages, and two Taoists. Of course, when I observed them, they were also looking at me curiously, and I knew that it must have been my strange knife that attracted their attention, you know, the weapons of the Fama Continent are generally general-purpose equipment, and there are clear level markings. Like the people who come to be tested now, the warriors are all wearing the same Eight Desolation Blades, the mages are holding the three-pronged sea soul, and the Taoist priests are wearing a small half-moon scimitar, thinking that my knife is not the Eight Desolations, and their knives can't tell what kind of weapon they are at all, like knives and swords, the style is strange, no wonder it will attract their attention. After all, on the mainland, although standard weapons are general-purpose weapons held by most people, it does not mean that no one uses their own unique weapons, but there are relatively few.
Soon it was my turn to try.
This is a very strange big room, the size of a basketball court, boxy, and the big room is crowded with dense scarecrows, which is beyond my expectations, I didn't expect that my trial hand is actually a scarecrow, a rough estimate of the scarecrow in it is more than fifty, which makes me feel reassured.
Unfolded his body at the moment, rushed into the middle of the straw crowd, and cut off the head of the scarecrow with a few slashes. Picking up dozens of scarecrows is no longer a problem.
And the sub. After I cut the last scarecrow, the door to the room opened, and when I walked out of the room, there was already an administrator standing there, and handed me a card the size of a business card: "No. 57342 Passed the Ranger Qualification Trial, Congratulations, Young Man! From today on, you will be a qualified Ranger, I hope you will work hard in the future." ”
"Thank you!" I respectfully took the sign and carefully put it away.
Walking out of the door, it was already half past six, Long Xin took me to find seven more Dongbao, the so-called Dongbao is equivalent to modern temporary workers, this name is strange enough, the seven Dongbao are all about forty years old, two men and five women. Originally, when the seven people heard that they were going to the Skull Cave, they were so frightened that they turned around and left, but then they were stopped by Long Xin, and it took a lot of time to talk, and they kept increasing the price until two silver coins per person per day to know that this is four times the normal Dongbao commission, and repeatedly promised that they would just let them collect the skull eyeballs, and there was absolutely no danger, so the seven people followed us up the mountain.
When they walked to the Skull Cave, it was already half past seven, and Long Qi and Long Zhan had already picked up a large bag of skull eyeballs each.
"Whew, I'm finally waiting for you to come!" Long Qi looked relieved.
And the seven Dongbao behind him looked at the dense skeleton wreckage on the ground, and they were indeed startled, as locals, they naturally knew how terrifying the skeleton battle was. Now I saw the skeleton warriors fall to the ground in pieces, and they all have the same feature, that is, a severed head.
"Oh my God, what the hell is going on, have you cut off the heads of these skeleton generals!" asked one of the seven Toho, who was clearly in the lead, in surprise.
"Hehe!" Long Qi just smiled slightly without explaining: "Isn't it more convenient for you to collect it in this way!" Long Qi said and picked up a skull casually, inserted it with both hands, hooked it, and dug out two glittering green beads. It's a process, smooth and skillful.
"Well, drink! yes!" "The leader Dong Bao laughed again and again, and he was still a little inexplicably afraid of the rangers, ordinary people. I didn't dare to ask anything more.
