Chapter XXIX: Tasks
The gray-headed and earth-faced Li Hong felt the astringency of grass clippings in her mouth, and she cried out in her heart, but she didn't expect that in the end, she couldn't escape the end of intimate contact with the ground.
"Are you alright......" Ye Feng asked tentatively.
Li Hong heard Ye Feng asking herself, and immediately ejected to her feet, and responded while patting away the contaminated dust: "It's okay, it's okay, my body is tough!" ”
"Oh, so is there anything else you can do?" Ye Feng said tepidly.
"That's right, Brother Ye, today is the ninety-ninth day for me to become a trainee martial artist, according to the regulations of the Martial Arts Guild, a trainee martial artist must complete at least one D-level or above task within a hundred days before he can be promoted to an official Star Swirl-level martial artist, otherwise it will take a year to reapply for a martial artist, and tomorrow will be the last day, I finally received a task nearby, but I am helpless, I need a partner, otherwise I am really not sure that I can complete the indicators of this task......"
Li Hong was very straightforward, and said his intention directly, he just wanted to team up with Ye Feng, in his opinion, Ye Feng's strength is not bad, and he meets the requirements of his partner, and he is the best teammate.
Ye Feng was silent for a while, and asked, "Why did you choose me?" ”
Li Hong's heart chuckled, and she gradually recalled what had happened before
......
"Ah, it's annoying!" A man in his early twenties leaned against a thick tree trunk, grass roots in his mouth, and kept grumbling.
"Why do other trainees have simple tasks to take, but I've been a trainee martial artist for almost a hundred days, and I don't have a single D-class mission?! Did the guild forget about me? I came to Kyoto because I came to Kyoto, why did I stay for so long and still get nothing!"
"Dididi!" The communication device on Li Hong's waist suddenly rang, and he suddenly felt refreshed, this device was a notice from the Martial Arts Guild to the martial artists to receive the task, and there was a sound, indicating that the guild had released this news to the martial artists near the mission location.
Li Hong didn't even think about it, and directly clicked "yes" on the interface of whether to take the task, because this was his last chance to be promoted to Star Swirl Martial Artist, but what he never expected was that in the upper right corner of the pop-up interface, a big D word was displayed, and there was a smaller number 3 on the right.
"What?! D3 level mission? Li Hong subconsciously swallowed her throat, with her own kung fu foundation, it was enough to do a D1 task, let alone the most difficult D3 in the D-level mission.
There is no turning back. No matter what, you have to give it a go, and then, Li Hong clicked on the task prompt in the lower right corner:
The main task: to prevent the transaction of goods, to ensure the safety of goods. Time and location: Exit 3 of Cape Port on the outskirts of Kyoto City, around 12 midnight, it is recommended that two martial artists above the Star Swirl level team up to perform.
"I'm going to go! Martial artist above Star Swirl?!!! Oops!! Li Hong was shocked, and accidentally slipped under her feet, falling directly from the tree and falling into the bushes.
"Phew!" Li Hong spit out a mouth full of leaves, a black line on his face, and he couldn't help but scold in his heart: Those old guys in the guild, what kind of task is assigned, even if you suddenly issue an urgent task, the level requirements are so high!
How could I find another Star Swirl partner or higher, and there were only 3 hours left before the mission!
Just when Li Hong was distressed and even a little crazy, a questioning voice came from the end of the wall.
"Who is it?!"
Li Hong followed the prestige and saw that there were three figures who jumped over the wall almost at the same time, one of them was Ye Feng, who was about the same age as himself, Li Hong's eyes lit up, and the wall close to three meters high could directly leap over, this kind of skill is definitely not an ordinary person, maybe it is the same martial artist as himself, you must find him to form a team, it is really a mountain and a heavy water, and there is no way out, and the willows and flowers are bright and another village, so Li Hong resolutely chased after it.
However, after Li Hong chased him out, he was stupid, and the blurred figure in his vision became smaller and smaller, this speed was too fast, no, he had to work harder!
"Hey! Another village, uh, no, big brother! Wait for me~"
……
Thinking of this, Li Hong felt in her heart that she should not tell Ye Feng about this, otherwise she would definitely be ridiculed by him. So, his eyes rolled and he smiled at Ye Feng: "That's the case, Brother Ye, at first glance I thought you were talented, your bones are wonderful, you must be a master among masters, that's why I came to you to be my partner, please!"
Ye Feng stared at Li Hong disapplaudedly for a few seconds, his eyes as if he was looking at an idiot.
"I've got something to do, goodbye!" After speaking, Ye Feng turned around and left without looking back.
"Oops! Brother Ye! Wait a minute! Li Hong immediately panicked, Ye Feng was his last straw, coupled with the skills he showed just now, naturally he would not let him go!
"What about the grilled fish, what about the grilled fish I bought?"
Before, because I found that Ye Feng had been standing in front of the grilled fish stall for a long time, he was sure that grilled fish was Ye Feng's favorite delicacy, so he bought a lot of them in order to please Ye Feng, after all, as the saying goes, eating people has a soft mouth, but it's strange, why did he suddenly disappear when he put it in his arms?
"Huh? Here! Li Hong, looking around, finally found the sack of grilled fish at her feet.
"Fortunately, it's still hot, hey, Brother Ye, do you see what I have prepared for you?"
Li Hong handed the bag containing the grilled fish to Ye Feng, and the slightly open seal inside came with a tempting aroma.
Ye Feng hesitated, but still accepted it, opened it and found that it was grilled fish, and his pupils gradually dilated.
"For me?"
"Hehe, when you taught that thief a lesson before, I saw that you stopped at the door of that grilled fish shop for so long, thinking that you must like to eat grilled fish, so I specially bought it as a meeting gift, of course, if Brother Ye is happy to eat, it is also excellent to talk about my partner......" Li Hong was a little embarrassed, after all, she had a request for others, although this grilled fish was specially prepared for Ye Feng, but it was indeed too shabby!
"Is it important for you to become a martial artist?" Ye Feng's question was a little unexpected.
When Li Hong heard this, the whole person became a little serious, his eyes were like torches, he changed his previous appearance of playing hip-hop, and said very seriously: "That's right, becoming a martial artist is the goal that I have to achieve in my life, it is my lifelong dream, no matter what difficulties and obstacles I encounter along the way, I will not give up easily, until one day I stand at the peak of martial arts and tell those who have ridiculed me that there are no waste people in this world, only people who are willing to be waste!" ”
