Chapter 5 Set Sail

Du Qi has never been a good talker, his personality is a little withdrawn, and he rarely even takes the initiative to talk to someone. To be sure, in the real world, he would never be so reckless as to talk to a stranger. Luckily, Dozi is also a good player, and he only needs to make this an indispensable task step in the game, and everything will be smooth.

He took a deep breath and walked slowly over to Cintah.

"Hello Mr. Sinta, the contemptible man's name is Duqi, a wild servant. You may not know me, but I've had several dealings with your guild. Du Qi tried his best to put on an indifferent smile, remembering the etiquette he had seen in the movie, and said softly.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Wild Waiter." Cinta looked Du Qi up and down, "Thank you for your trust in the Shengyu Chamber of Commerce, we may be able to make another appointment, but I'm afraid not today." We ask for your understanding that this is private time. His response was very cold, and he bit the word "young" very hard.

The expected indifference did not make Du Qi retreat, he was now just a small character with no name, could he still expect the other party to be impressed by his temperament. "Mr. Cinta misunderstood, I don't intend to waste precious time between you and me. You look like you're bothered by something, and I might be able to help you out. He continued.

"Troubled? I don't think you can tell the distress in my look, and I don't need help. That's not how business talks, young man. ”

Du Qi raised his eyebrows, he sat on the stool next to him, and his voice became more and more confident: "Then, I'll guess if there is a problem with Shengyu's caravan recently?" For example...... Raid? Yes, your caravan may have been attacked, but someone else has been entrusted with the investigation through some means. Obviously, the person you've entrusted hasn't solved your problems so far, am I right? ”

"Nonsense!"

"Mr. Cinta don't rush to deny it, I don't have any ill will." Du Qi pretended to smile mysteriously, but his heart was already happy.

Sinta is worthy of being the regional head of a chamber of commerce, and even when he is in a bad mood, he can still hide his inner fluctuations well, and does not show the slightest abnormality on his face. It's a pity that Duqi can see something other than his expression.

Soon after arriving in this world, Duzi found that he could often vaguely perceive the existence of some kind of point of light. He couldn't understand what those points of light were, but after a period of adaptation, he discovered that there were many different types of them, each of which seemed to have unique properties. From it, he could feel the ferocity of the volcano, the scorching warmth of the sun, the calmness and heaviness of the earth, and so on.

After further exploration, Duqi also found a very interesting feature, when a person's mood changes, the points of light that originally surrounded him will also change accordingly, and the more violent the mood swing, the more obvious this change will become.

Thus, in Duzi's eyes, the conversation between the two had caused Sinta's mood to change from initial irritability to wariness. "I understand your chamber of commerce's desire to conceal information, saying that shopping malls are like battlefields, and one mistake can lead to painful losses. All of this is just speculation, so you don't need to worry about it at all. I'm a wild waiter, and I'm good at solving problems, but I don't just create problems for people. The confidence in his voice grew stronger.

Duzi paused, and saw that Sinta just looked down at the wine glass, and did not mean to answer, so he could only continue: "I will briefly talk about the process of reasoning, and if there is anything wrong, please ask Mr. Sinta to correct it." The main reason to support my inference is that the purchase price of Bad Demon Materials has continued to rise slightly, although this is not common, and I didn't pay much attention to it at first. It wasn't until today that I happened to meet Mr. Sinta here, and I noticed that you were in a bad mood, and the bad demon material happened to be the main business of your Chamber of Commerce, and a bold guess emerged. That's not really bold, and I think your chamber is probably having business problems.

So, what are the most likely reasons for the price of footage? One is a large order, and the other is out of stock. Only in such cases, in order to hoard more goods, it is necessary to raise the purchase price as a way to compete with other chambers of commerce. In my opinion, the second is more likely. As for the reason for the shortage, the attack on the Chamber of Commerce's convoy was the first thought that crossed my mind. After that, the rest of the speculation is logical, and your chamber of commerce will not sit idly by, and will probably secretly invite some professionals to intervene, perhaps based on fame, or perhaps with other criteria for judgment. But so far, no one has found out who started the attack, and you are in an upset mood to come here to drink to kill your sorrows. Mr. Sinta, am I right? ”

"On top of that, a huge golden exclamation mark suddenly appears in your head, and anyone who has played the game knows what it means," Duzi added in his mind.

"I think my ability to hide my emotions is top-notch, and I haven't been seen by anyone so far. Mr. Duzi, are all young people like you now? ”

Du Qi smiled slightly, and decided in his heart that the matter was already secure, but he still responded modestly: "Mr. Sinta has won the award, I just have some special methods." ”

"Yes, you strange people really can't be seen in the same way as ordinary people. But...... I must reiterate once again that I don't need any help. ”

Sinta's shaking of his head made Duzi's face stagnate, he was not a genius who was good at reasoning, even though there were so many phenomena to support his guesses, but he was still not so confident after all. Or maybe Cinta simply doesn't want outsiders to intervene, so what else can she do?

"Mr. Duzi is young and smart, but he is still a little less composed...... Haha, I Cinta love making friends like you. Again, neither I nor my chamber of commerce need help, but as a friend, I can provide you with an instruction. Sinta lowered her voice and said, "Recently, I heard that the garrison of Eagle City, Lord Yiqi, is secretly releasing a mission, you may want to talk to him. Lord Yiqi is also my friend, and if you can complete that mission, you will earn the friendship of both Eagle City and the Ascending Chamber of Commerce. Sinta shoved another cup of dragon wine in front of Duzi, a friendly smile on her face.

"So, to friendship." Du Qi knew this in his heart, and while sighing at the merchant's cautious behavior, he raised his glass and drank the wine.

Having received the long-awaited joy of the task, Du Qi only felt more and more energetic. Impatiently, he said goodbye to Sinta and Wenli, and left the "Horn" tavern alone, and walked towards the center of the city. It was getting late at this time, but it was said that the garrison officers had been working late late, and that they could still be found after that time. The most important point is that he is not willing to wait any longer for the joy in his heart.

Following the path indicated on the map, the Doge single-mindedly tried to bring up a window marked with the word "Prestige". The "friendship between Eagle City and the Shengyu Chamber of Commerce" that Sinta said made him think of this for the first time. "Maybe you won't be able to unlock this so-called prestige system until you complete this mission." Looking at the empty window, he speculated.

The Town Hall of Eagle City is a magnificent building no less than the Cathedral of the Holy Ground, and although the location is a little worse, it is also the most dazzling jewel in the city. It didn't take much effort, and Douzi quickly found the building. Explaining his intentions to the guards at the door, and showing a personal stamp given by Sinta, he quickly obtained permission to pass, and was guided by the guards to find the busy garrison.

After coming to this world for a long time, this is the first time that Du Qi has seen a high-level figure in the true sense.

The garrison officer Yi Qi was a tall man, although he was still busy in the office at this time, his clothes were very loose and casual, and his face looked a little lazy, except for the embarrassed eyes, which did not impress people at a glance.

After listening to Du Qi's brief introduction, the garrison officer grabbed his unkempt hair at random, and then got up and politely invited the guests to sit down. "So, you're also a wild squire, you look very young, do you have a badge? Of course, you were recommended by Mr. Sinta, and I would never doubt your ability, but it was better to do business or business. He smiled, his movements clearly lazy and casual, but with some indescribable elegance, which was really strange.

"Of course, I also like the way adults do things." Du Qi smiled disapprerovingly, and with a flick of his right hand, a pitch-black hole suddenly opened in the air, and a string of pendants fell from it.

"It's a very convenient ability, I've seen many kinds of special abilities, but this is the first time you've done this. So......" Yi Qi glanced at it casually, and raised his hand to signal Du Qi to take the pendant back, "You are from the Dedication School, and it is said that their assessment is also one of the most difficult among the Nine Schools, and it has not been seen very much in recent years. ”

"Oh? Have you ever seen someone from the Devotion School before? Duqi asked quietly.

Since Qi Xin told the general situation about the wild waiter, players have also taken the time to find out a lot of news about the wild waiter. They all knew that although there were hundreds of knight families in the former White Jade Kingdom, most of the inheritance had been lost. Later, when the city was established, the remaining knights integrated their respective family lineages and created nine factions for the Wild Servant Organization, namely glory, soul, wisdom, devotion, valor, mercy, humility, justice, and honesty, and the names of these schools are the nine noble qualities that knights believe in.

"Yes, I've seen it in Hill Hill City, you should know, there's a field servant branch there."

"Hill Hill City!" It was the first time he had heard the name, and he had given it an asterisk in his mind, considering whether he would find a time to go to the city. "I've heard about it, but I've never had a chance to get there."

"It's a nice place to visit when you have time. Well, now that I've confirmed my identity, I'm not going to waste any more time. How much do you know about this incident? ”

"It's not too much, and I know that the Shengyu Chamber of Commerce seems to be in some trouble lately, related to an attack. Mr. Sinta didn't tell me much, and the details need to be told by adults. ”

"Together? No, no, no......" Yiqi knocked on the table exaggeratedly, as if to say how an attack could force me to work overtime every day, "Mr. Duqi, an incident will not make us anxious. Listen, in just one week, there have been four attacks in a row...... And it was a vicious attack. The four incidents all occurred on the official road of the East, not only against the Shengyu Chamber of Commerce, but also like randomly looking for targets to commit crimes. I can tell you that in addition to entrusting professionals, we also sent Hayabusa Riders in Eagle City before, but we couldn't find any clues, and until now, it has only been judged based on the very little information on the scene, and it should be the same group of sophisticated gangs that did it. ”

"You mean, most likely a gang of humans?"

"Until the results of the investigation are available, I cannot give any unwarranted speculation that could affect the judgment. The information I can provide is that the level of anti-tracking is very high, there are almost no clues left at the scene, and even the footprints are very clean. The latest reports say some human blood was found at the scene, but it is impossible to tell whether it came from the victim or the attacker. ”

"And what about the survivors?"

"Unfortunately, no one has survived, perhaps killed. The attackers not only snatched supplies, but also took the bodies with them, leaving only a mess of the scene. ”

"So, what about the people who were sent out before? Are they all dead? ”

Again, I can't give any answer to that, or even tell you who they are. Like I said, this is a very difficult case. If you can find or kill the killer, you will be rewarded with ten gold coins. For the record, once you have accepted this commission, you must promise that you will not disclose any information we have provided to the outside world. In addition, I don't know how long this matter will be suppressed, and if we don't get any reliable information in the near future, there may be a large-scale operation, at which point the mission will be automatically invalidated, and neither I nor anyone involved will admit to issuing such a commission. So, after learning this, are you still willing to accept this hot potato? Youngster. ”

"No problem." Du Qi's heart beat a little faster, and he replied almost without any hesitation, "I took this task." ”

As soon as the words fell, a translucent window automatically popped up, and the first entry appeared in the originally dark taskbar.

Holding back the excitement in his heart, Du Qi said goodbye to Yi and prayed, and only after returning to the hotel where he was staying did he bring up different panels and start to check if there were any changes on them.

"Mission - Mysterious Raider: Recently, there have been four mysterious attacks in a row near Eagle City, including two small mercenary teams, as well as the transportation teams of the Shengyu Chamber of Commerce and the Bihai Group. So far, a total of 68 people have been killed, and none of them have survived. You are authorized to participate in this investigation by the Garrison Officer to locate and kill the perpetrator of the attack before the incident spreads further; Current Progress: Investigate the scene of the crime (0/4); Rewards: Ten Gold Coins, Eagle City Reputation, Ascending Chamber of Commerce Reputation. ”

Duqi also found that in conjunction with this new mission, four small arrows appeared on the map shrouded in black fog, pointing to different locations on the east side of the map that had not yet been shown, and combined with the description of the mission, it could be confirmed that they pointed to the four locations he needed to investigate.

"Sure enough, a game is still a game after all, and players always have some advantages." Du Qi, who was originally a little worried that he would not be able to carry out the mission smoothly, suddenly felt a lot more relieved, "Let's take a look at the information given by Yi Qi first, this journey is estimated to take a lot of time, go buy some supplies tomorrow morning, and then set off immediately." ”

On the ninth day of coming to this world, the gears of the voyage finally began to turn slowly.
