Chapter 14: Chihiro Tower

"Hey, wait, where are you pulling me again?" As soon as Gao Zhen came out of the hotel, he was grabbed by a young man and ran towards the south of Yancheng.

"I'll take you to make money, I didn't expect you to have such a powerful ability, it's a pity not to make a wave!" The young man said as he ran back to Takazumi.

"I don't want to be a thief!" Gao Zhen put the words "kung fu" and "making money" together, and the first word that flashed through his mind was "thief".

"As I said, I won't bring bad young people in society!" The young man shouted loudly, as if he was afraid that he would not be able to hear.

The two of them ran and ran, weaving through the crowd, bumping into passers-by several times, provoking a few disgruntled curses, but the young man had no idea of slowing down, and in his words, the money, if it was a little slower, would not be earned.

Gao Zhen felt more and more in his heart that he was going to take himself to do something like stealing chickens and dogs.

Suddenly, Gao Zhen, who was dragged to the south of Yancheng, saw a strange building. It was a wooden tower, standing in the middle of the complex, much taller than the other houses, which was very special. He roughly counted the wooden tower, which had nine floors, each with a raised cornice, and the glazed tiles glittered golden in the sun, making it look magnificent. The proportions of the tower are perfect, giving people a visual impact, both masculine beauty and feminine beauty.

Gao Zhen glanced at the young man running in front of him, and sure enough, he was running towards the wooden tower.

"That's Chihiro Tower," said the young man, guessing what was in his mind, "You must be new here, you haven't even been here." Qianxun Tower is a task issuing agency set up by the Lord of Yancheng City, anyone has the right to issue tasks in the tower, and anyone who has the ability can also take tasks in the tower. If you do, you'll be paid by the person who posted the task. ”

"The Tower of Chihiro is backed by the supreme rulers of the entire Smoke City, so you don't have to worry about deception. The person who posted the task, and the person who took the task, are trustworthy. The young man added.

"It sounds good, and it is indeed a place where good young people in society should come to make money." Gao Zhen nodded.

It turns out that there is such a place in this smoke city, just like the location where you can pick up side quests in the game. Here, players can choose the tasks that suit them according to their own needs, and earn task rewards by completing the tasks to improve themselves. Thinking of this, Gao Zhen smiled with satisfaction, it seems that he has found what to do in the fairy world.

"Although the Chihiro Tower is open to everyone, in order to ensure that the information of some important tasks is not disseminated, the institutions in the tower have formulated some rules to stipulate what kind of tasks you can take and what kind of tasks you can't take." The young man said as he ran.

He reached into his arms, pulled out a small wooden card, and held it to the high pillow.

The brand is made of a special wood in the fairy world, which is abnormally hard and does not decay, and also exudes a faint fragrance. There is a complex series of numbers engraved on the wooden plaque, a total of 8 digits, and the last four digits of the number are engraved out, which are 4 asterisks. Underneath the number, a circular pattern is carved into three equal parts, one of which depicts a carp and the other two are empty.

"Qianxun Tower recognizes the sign and does not recognize people, anyone can ask for a piece, as long as the last four digits of your number are correctly matched, you can take the task. There are three types of brands: one carp, two carp, and three carp. Those who hold the One Carp brand can take on the tasks in the lower three floors of the Chihiro Tower, the second carp is the middle third floor, and the third carp is the upper three floors. The higher the mission in the tower, the higher it is completed, and the more confidential the relevant information is. My piece is a carp brand. The young man explained.

Gao Zhen nodded, and had a basic understanding of the operating rules of the Thousand Hunt Tower.

Running and talking along the way, the two of them finally arrived at the gate of Chihiro Tower. Gao Zhen raised his head and looked up, and found that there were several guards standing in the outer corridors on each floor of the tower, worthy of the organization formed by the highest authorities in Smoke City, and it was so tightly managed.

"Hurry up, if you don't hurry, the mission is going to be snatched away!" The young man pulled the pillow and pushed him to the back of a long line.

"Queue here, and when you get to the front table, you can make a sign. I'm going to take a look and see if there's anything I can do. With that, the young man turned and left.

Gao Zhen shook his head speechlessly, this man is really funny, and he always likes to arrange things for others. I really don't know what kind of mission he can figure out to make a lot of money.

Gao Zhen turned his head and looked around, and he found that there were quite a lot of people queuing here, all of whom were novices who had just come into contact with the "Qianxun Tower" and wanted to come to do a sign to take over the task.

The people in line were tall and thick men with brute strength, some were young immortal cultivators in cloud robes, and some were knights or wandering adventurers.

This feeling is not bad, Gao Zhen thought to himself, and looked past these various people to the inside of the first floor of the Chihiro Tower.

The first floor of Chihiro Tower is the largest of the entire tower, and the giant oil chandelier hanging from the ceiling and the lighthouses placed around the hall illuminate the entire floor very brightly.

Holding their own wooden signs, people walked back and forth between the rows of wooden shelves, stopping to watch for a while from time to time. On the shelves that came from two people, there were many brown signs that looked the same. The signs are roughly rectangular, except that the ends are sharpened, and a small hole is pierced at the top, which is hung from iron nails nailed to the shelves.

The front of these plaques is succinctly engraved with the name of the task, the person who posted it, and the reward for the task. If you are interested in a sign, you can open it and write the details and precautions of the mission on the back of it. After reading these, if you feel that there is no problem and no one is robbing you, you can take off the sign and go to a special room to go through the procedures for receiving the task.

Of course, the mission can be grabbed, but there are no fights in Chihiro Tower, and anyone who violates the rules will be dragged out by the guards in brown clothes and disqualified from taking the mission.

Gao Zhen looked at it carefully for a while, and finally mastered the placement rules of these signs. At the bottom of the front of the sign, there is usually a row of stars engraved on it, representing the difficulty of the task recorded on the sign. Gao Zhen glanced at it, most of these tasks placed on the first floor are one-star and two-star, only a few brands are marked with three stars, and there are generally no people next to these three-star brands.

Every once in a while, a man would emerge from the room behind the first floor, carrying a basket in his hand, patrolling the rows of wooden shelves. At his discretion, he would replace tasks that had not been taken for a long time, either as expired, or because they might not be suitable for difficulty, and move them to the middle three floors.

After watching for a while, Gao Zhen finally lined up at the front of the line and came to a small platform.

Behind the table sat an old man, who looked at Gao Zhen and rubbed his little goatee, as if to confirm whether the man had been here. He then took out a new small wooden plaque from a wooden box and transcribed the first four digits of the wooden plaque into a thick information book.

"Write the four-digit identification number, memorize it yourself, and get it right when you take the task in the future." The old man said what he had said all day, and handed him a brush and a piece of rice paper.

Identification number? Don't be so mysterious, isn't it okay to just say it's a password? Gao Zhen muttered in his heart, covered it with his hands, and wrote the four numbers "9621" on the paper.

This gave him the illusion of setting a password when opening a bank account.

"Alright, take it." The old man recorded the information and handed him the small wooden sign with a high pillow, then he pointed to a bulletin board behind him and said, "It is written in the rules, take a look at it yourself." ”

"Okay, thanks." Gao Zhen nodded, and was about to leave, but the old man slapped the table, pointed to a sentence written on the table, and called Gao Zhen back.

I didn't know why, I looked over there, and I saw that it was written: "Wooden sign materials and processing fees: 10 copper coins." ”

No way! Gao Zhen scolded in his heart, this also has to collect money? Reluctantly, he took out the few copper coins he had and counted them, and found that Nima had exactly ten left.

I had a feeling of being pitted. Gao Zhen thought so in his heart, and reluctantly handed over the ten yuan. Then he looked down at the small wooden sign in his hand, and found that the first four digits of the number engraved on it actually were:

“6666”

Belch...... Gao Zhen had a speechless expression on his face.
