Volume 1 The Beginning of the Magic Sword Chapter 15, The Inscription of the New Moon
"Oops...... You're all here! I'm tired today!"
When Luo Sheng pushed the door open, the four of them had already finished eating and were resting in the living room.
"This time I met a superlative, named Wang Chengjing, picked four baskets of green peppers, I picked three baskets by myself, I am afraid that there are seventy or eighty pounds, saying that I want to make green peppers and shredded pork, and said that I will buy food next time and ask him to give me a nine-percent discount, who is rare with his green peppers! Aunt Yi, what else is delicious, I haven't eaten dinner yet......" Luo Sheng went straight to the kitchen.
"What was the name of that person you just said?" Wu Lian asked as he saw Luo Sheng come out with two plates.
"Wang Chengjing, Wang Chengjing!" Luo Sheng took the steamed bun and bit it in his mouth, turned around to get the chopsticks, and Aunt Yi had already taken a pair and handed it to him,
"Thank you, Aunt Yi. ”
"Eat quickly when you're hungry, I'll give you heat if it's not enough." Aunt Yi smiled.
"Enough is enough, Aunt Yi's cooking is delicious!" Luo Sheng said vaguely with a mouth full of food.
"Wang Chengjing, isn't it a little short, almost as tall as me, and still very fat, with a dark face?" asked Wu Lian.
"Uh-huh, yes, that's him!" Luo Sheng almost jumped up, thinking that Wulian had also been 'abused' by this guy before.
"This kid is too fine, and you two ......" Luo Sheng pointed to Lingling and the knife: "His plan is one person and one basket, who knows that I am the only one who goes, and he is reluctant to throw a basket of two baskets, I just dragged three baskets back......"
"I've heard of this man, and I've heard that he's the youngest of the Chefs' Guild to be engraved with the inscription of the crescent moon. Unexpectedly, Wu Lian's words were amazing: "The name of the new moon is equivalent to reaching the top at the stage of trainee chefs, and you can be promoted to become a full-time chef at any time." He also has a unique recipe of shredded green pepper meat, which can instantly restore part of the combat power of the eater, which is most effective for mages and has a considerable effect on warriors. The Chef's Guild attaches great importance to him, and even high-level chefs have studied with him, but the effect of making things with the same ingredients and the same recipe is always higher, and his method Chef's Guild can't get it, thinking that he didn't teach the tricks, so they love and hate him. ”
Wu Lian couldn't help but stand up: "Stupid big man, you can be regarded as a great contribution......"
"Meritorious?" Luo Sheng's face was full of disbelief.
"Maybe it's because this person has a special method in cooking, or it affects the interests of some high-level chefs in the Chefs Association, so he is still a trainee chef, but I heard that he has met the promotion conditions three years ago......" Wu Lian shook his hand, his face flushed.
"Is this person really so powerful?" Ye Ya was puzzled.
"You don't know much about it yet. "Wu Lian grew up in Fran since he was a child, and he was calloused when he heard the anecdotes, and explained to Luo Sheng, in fact, he also said it to the other team members.
"The more high-level professionals are, the more they need the support of cooking, because high-level battles consume a lot of money, in the case of leaves, do you think that after you reach the level of senior magician, you can release several high-level high-level magic in a row?"
"Well, if you have the right staff, robe, fifty or so times should be fine. Ye Ya calculated.
"The spells you're learning now are just single spells, that is, if you cast them once, they will only appear once, and you can only attack one enemy, right?"
"Yes. Ye Ya nodded and answered honestly.
"After that, if you have the opportunity, or at the full-time or senior level, you will also learn powerful, super powerful spells. The range of powerful spells is about two hundred to four hundred meters, and all creatures within the range of your spell will be hit, and the range of super magic is even as large as five hundred to two thousand meters, and some magic masters who study ancient texts can even send out magic that covers the entire city, destroying a city in an instant, you won't think ......" Wu Lian stopped pacing and turned to face Ye Ya: "Such a high-level spell can also be issued about fifty times in a row, right?"
"Well, this kind of spell is just once, and it is possible to drain a magician's spiritual power and mana......" Ye Ya exclaimed.
"So, even a magus who is proficient in high-level spells will not be able to cast more than the number of hands in a row that spell. ”
"Even if a mage missionary with the lowest requirements for spiritual power reaches the bishop level, he can unleash no more than fifteen high-level recovery techniques. And a battle with a fierce monster may consume five or six tenths of the spiritual power, and the low-level spell may not even be able to break the defense......"
"Therefore, cooking that can quickly restore mental power and mana has become the standard for high-level professionals. ”
"Do you know that 10% off may save us millions of gold coins in the future? ”
"Huh?!" Luo Sheng's mouth forgot to chew.
"Now reassign the task!"
"My mission and Ye Zi remain the same, continue to sweep the green elf lair in the western suburbs of the city, the knife and the spirit, you go to sweep the green elf lair in the east of the city, you don't stay too far away, if there is danger, withdraw immediately. ”
"It was my mistake, the idea of taking on a job to make money is stupid......" Ulen paused.
Ye Ya and Wu Lian swept the magic stones all day, in addition to the ones that were eaten by Min Zhen, they also earned back a fragment of an earth crystal and one hundred and fifty gold coins plus more than forty bread coupons. And the three of them worked hard for a day, and the three of them relied on tasks, and the total amount of remuneration earned was less than five gold coins.
The remuneration for low-level tasks is pitifully low, and its main role is probably that the trade unions play a certain role in the assessment of the professional class, and they cannot be relied on to make money at this stage. When you just become a trainee professional, there are really not many tasks that can make them money.
Exterminating the micro-transformation monsters, collecting materials, magic stones, crystal fragments, etc., and then selling these to the merchant is the fastest way for the team to make money at present.
Only when everyone reaches a certain level and has porcelain drills can they catch those porcelains that make money.
"I was lucky again. ”
"Silly big man, you continue to squat in the adventurer hotel, be sure to receive the task issued by Wang Chengjing, and get on the line with him, you can guarantee him for me, we can help him complete the promotion task for free, don't mention the nine-fold thing." A high-level chef also needs a high-level team to help him collect ingredients, and it will be mutually beneficial in the future......"
"I don't!" Luo Sheng remembered the events of the afternoon and resolutely refused.
"Captain, I'll go......" Miao Xiaodao said.
As the second oldest member of the team and the first in actual mental age, Miao Xiaodao's experience is much richer and more exciting than Luo Shengke's. His personality is steady, and he believes that he can do better than Luo Sheng, and Luo Sheng's temperament is really not suitable for doing such a meticulous and "deceptive" thing.
"Okay......" Wu Lian looked at Miao Xiaodao, and then at Luo Sheng, who was gobbling up, thought about the personalities and styles of the two, and made a compromise.
"Then you and the knife are exchanged, if the spirit is hurt a little, you will honestly do Wang Chengjing's matter. ”
"Don't worry, you can't!"
Wu Lian's eyes widened, and Luo Sheng stood up and patted his chest: "Sir, promise to protect Miss Lingling!"
"Okay!" Wu Lian made a look that believed you, and then turned to Miao Xiaodao, "Brother Miao, you come with me, and I will explain some things to you." ”
##
According to the arrangement, Miao Xiaodao squatted at the adventurer's hotel early the next morning.
For three consecutive days, I didn't see the black, short, fat and ugly person in Luo Sheng's mouth to release the green pepper collection assistance task. After all, he was a teenager who was less than fifteen years old, and he couldn't help but feel anxious.
So when Wang Chengjing just entered the Adventurer's Hotel and didn't go to the bar to issue a mission, he was rushed out by a tall thin teenager and blocked the way, he thought that there were people in Flange City who dared to block the road in broad daylight.
"Don't get me wrong, don't get me wrong!" Miao Xiaodao hurriedly waved his hand and explained, "Are you going to issue a green pepper collection assistance mission?"
"Yes, how do you know?" Wang Chengjing couldn't help frowning and squinting, he didn't have the impression of this person in his mind, which meant that he didn't know the young man in front of him.
"I'm a friend of Luo Sheng, and three days ago, he helped you complete the task you posted, do you remember?" Miao Xiaodao continued to explain.
"I see, I guess you were the one who took the task that day, but he was the only one who came, and Luo Sheng did a good job, so I added ten silver coins to him!" Wang Chengjing understood, it turned out to be the young man's friend.
"Yes, yes, you see, you still have to pay a handling fee for posting a task, I will take your task directly, save your handling fee, and you can just give it to me directly in the reward!" Miao Xiaodao said in a low voice.
After the adventurer completes the task, it will be recorded in the adventure union, and these records will be provided to the professional union, and the quality and quantity of the completed task are one of the promotion evaluation criteria when the adventurer is promoted.
Of course, there are also adventurers who have reached the evaluation criteria, but are very short of money, so they directly find the task publisher, and the handling fee is also earned, and they don't want that record.
This operation has a disadvantage, once the task cannot be completed, it will not have much impact on the adventurer, and the big deal is that he will no longer be able to receive business from the employer and his friends around him, but it will cause great losses to the employer.
"Huh?" Wang Chengjing narrowed his eyes and looked at Miao Xiaodao.
"You don't think that I won't be able to accomplish such a simple thing, right?" Miao Xiaodao hugged his sleeves and compared his arms, instantly bulging a ball of muscles.
"Okay, two baskets of twenty-five silver coins. "Wang Chengjing understands, this guy is very short of money, so if he doesn't take the opportunity to press the price, isn't he too sorry for himself?" ”
"Ba Luo is right, you really don't trade at a loss...... Two baskets...... Thirty silver coins!After all, it also saves you six silver coins in fees. Miao Xiaodao handed over his badge.
"Twenty-six!" Wang Chengjing looked at the nervous expression of the thin young man, flipped through the iron swordsman badge, and even determined that the young man in front of him was very short of money, and he was sure of him, how did he know that Wulian had set no less than five countermeasures against him.
"Twenty-nine!"
"Twenty-seven, there's no more to talk about......
"Settle now! You have to pay every day!"
"Quality and quantity!"
"Okay! No problem"
"Deal!"
Looking at the cunning in each other's eyes, the two smiled in unison.
Wang Chengjing successfully found a person who was short of money to help him complete the collection of raw materials.
Miao Xiaodao preliminarily completed the task given to him by Wu Lian, and used a reasonable identity to gain Wang Chengjing's trust.
The two brought three large baskets together and collected three baskets full of small green peppers.
After coming back in the afternoon, Miao Xiaodao also helped Wang Chengjing to the designated stall to resist the beef, for this reason, Wang Chengjing didn't care about the extra two silver coins.
After Wang Chengjing handed over the day's hard work to Miao Xiaodao, he devoted himself to making his own cooking.
Miao Xiaodao went to Wang Chengjing's residence on time every morning to wait for him, collected small green peppers, Miao Xiaodao carried a basket, hugged, dragged, dragged, and picked a basket, Wang Chengjing carried a basket, after coming back, Wang Chengjing cleaned the green peppers, Miao Xiaodao helped him go to the market to buy back beef, put it down, stretched out his hand, took the money, and left.
At night, Wang Chengjing is busy making shredded pork with green peppers, and then delivering shredded pork with green peppers to the guests who are predetermined. Come back and sleep for less than six hours, get up again, and repeat the process.
Although tired, Wang Chengjing is tired and happy!
The speed of accumulating gold coins is more than twice as fast as before, and when you have collected 5,000 gold coins, you can do another promotion mission, I don't believe that this task is so difficult every time.
As soon as he talked about the promotion task, Wang Chengjing had a headache, Xu was too famous, which caused the gourmets of the association to have too high expectations for himself. Each time, the food made is either a little sour, a little sweet, or a little less hot, and the effect is a little worse......
The apprentices at the same time as him are already full-time chefs, and he has gone through five promotion assessments but has not yet passed.
Wang Chengjing even thought that he was really not suitable for being a chef, and the cost was only secondary, and the blow of horizontal contrast was the main reason why his confidence collapsed and his patience was exhausted.
