Chapter 92: The Vigil
After a night's rest, I opened my eyes and went straight to the game, which has now become an inseparable part of my life. No way, who let us still live by it.
When I went online, the other people were already there, and after asking, I went straight to yesterday's shop.
"How many brothers are eating there?" As soon as I entered the door, I saw Violet and the four of them eating and drinking around a table, what do you think this thing is not worth spending this money for? Although one gold coin can buy several dishes.
"It's not idle, it's idle, we'll wait for you to taste it," the brute cow swallowed a mouthful of fish, stared at the dishes on the table and said, "You must know that the dishes here can't be sold for one hundred and eighty yuan outside, and you can't use a single gold coin here, even if you can't eat enough, it's worth it...... Don't move! Quail, you leave me some! ”
I admired it from the bottom of my heart, and I said to Violet, who loved juice: "Captain girl, let's go to level up and fight treasure today, or find some mercenary tasks to do?"
Zizi ...... Violet drank all the juice, smacked her cherry mouth and said, "Your weapon material cost isn't enough, right?" Let's see if there is a suitable task, and if not, upgrade it, and no level equipment can be left behind. ”
I nodded, and glanced at the oily man and Xiao Zhengtai, who were still gobbling up, and the Shatma Chan Fox who was eating ice cream next to him, and the words "wine bag and rice bag" kept swirling in my mind.
Shaking my head, I knocked on the table and said, "Hey, hey, that's pretty much it!" Even if you made money yesterday, you wouldn't be so playful, right? You see that you are like starving ghosts reincarnated, where is the majesty of our Violet Mercenary Regiment? ”
"Pull it down," said Shatma, licking her lips with chocolate on the tip of her nose, "Are you ready for your money?" I've already contacted the materials here, but let's say okay first, I'll kick your leg off if the materials don't have enough money. ”
I subconsciously pinched my crotch and returned: "Didn't you hear Sister Lan's words just now?" I'll be able to take on one more task today, and I'll be able to count them. If it weren't for the three of you who only cared about chopping and eating, you could have upgraded by now. ”
"Cut." Shatma Chanhu didn't care at all.
Violet looked at the time and said, "It's almost time for us to go to the event, today I will try to help the big watermelon upgrade the weapon to the next level, by the way, my materials are almost the same, and I should be able to upgrade to another level at night."
Oh oh? Violet's weapon can be upgraded again? Tsk, that means our small team's attack power has increased a lot.
"Girl, where did you get your materials?" I asked, I've been holding back this question for a long time, and I'm thinking about it again today.
"The Water Mercenary Regiment." Violet stretched and said, "They have experienced many games, they are an extremely experienced team, and the head of the regiment is ruthless and well-connected, so I usually go directly to him if I need anything." However, the legendary weapon upgrade materials are indeed troublesome, even they have to collect them slowly, after all, some materials are relatively rare at this stage, and they can only be exploded by luck. ”
I see, I suddenly realized. In this way, the Shatma Chanhu, who claims to be able to help me get the materials, is only stronger than the Water Mercenary Group.
"Hah...... Joyfully! Manniu poured a drink, while picking his teeth while savoring the delicious taste just now, Xiao Zhengtai next to him also looked paralyzed, half-lying on the chair squinting, and his hands kept massaging his stomach.
I glanced at the polished plates on the table, twitched out of my eyes, and urged them to go.
Mercenary Building.
This time, we all went into battle, searching for tasks in the mercenary mission release column together, and looking at the dazzling variety of missions on the screen, I felt so small for the first time.
After turning two pages, a quest with a bounty of up to 200 gold coins caught my attention.
After a cursory look at the mission introduction, the client received such a task by chance, and the task is called protecting the village chief.
To put it simply, the client needs to protect the life of the village chief in a certain system village until the end of the task.
It seems like a simple task, and it's a bit abnormal that no one takes such a high bounty.
Regardless of him, I took the task directly, and then contacted the client to ask for specific task information.
The client quickly replied, saying that if we want to take on this task, we need to be prepared, he has commissioned several mercenary groups before, and all of them have failed.
It's a simple process, but it's disgusting.
First of all, it takes a long time, and after the mission begins, it will enter the night, which means that he needs to protect the village chief in the dark and resist attacks from all directions, until dawn, which is 5 hours according to the real time. Moreover, the time of the attack is not fixed, as long as there is a laxity, the village chief may secretly die in which corner.
And then this village chief will not stay in one place honestly, this old guy does not sleep in the middle of the night, does not speak, in addition to being bored in his own room in a daze, he will also wander around from time to time.
Most of the mercenary groups that took over the task were diluted as soon as they heard the content of the mission, after all, this task was too long and tiring, there were fewer people to be busy, and the bounty was not suitable if there were more people.
The mercenary groups that have done tasks with the client are basically in the process of vigil, because the village chief ran out to go out for suicidal shopping when he was pulled by the enemy.
All in all, it was indeed a disgusting task, but the client firmly believed that the reward behind it was also extraordinary, so he spared no expense in the reward.
I snorted my teeth, this task may not be impossible to complete, and it should not be a problem for the five of us to protect a bad old man. Although it has been a little longer, the income is also very good.
I called Violet and described the mission.
"It shouldn't sound that hard." Violet thought for a moment and said, "It's just that the time is long and the time of the attack is not fixed, which is more uncomfortable, but it's not a big problem."
"I think it should be okay, time is not a problem, and so can the bounty." The wild cow was full of food and drink, and he was worried that there was no place to eat, and he was very confident in this task.
The three of them, including me, are fine, and Shatma Chanhu and Xiao Zhengtai are almost the pendants on Violet's legs, as long as Violet agrees with them, they don't need to ask more.
I nodded, told the client that we had taken the task, and asked him where it was, so we could get there.
The client was very happy, told me a coordinate, and rushed over first.
I went back to the restaurant to pack some food and drink, and looking at the strength of the three of them for an outing picnic, I seemed to understand why they said that 5 hours would be fine.
According to the coordinates, we walked for half an hour to an unknown small village outside the city, and a smiling fat man was already greeting us at the entrance of the village.
"Hello!" The fat man dressed as a priest was very enthusiastic, and he held my hand politely, so that I always had the urge to shout that the priest was guilty.
"We'll do our best for this mission, don't worry." I reassured the fat man.
"That's good, but let's also say ugly things first," the fat man still smiled, "If the mission fails, there is no way to pay the bounty, and the losses in the mission need to be borne by your mercenary group." ”
"That's nature." I nodded, it wasn't too much to ask.
"Alright, let's get started!" The fat man didn't say anything more, took out a scroll-like thing, and after manipulating it, a teleportation aperture appeared in front of us.
"After entering, the mission begins, and you can't teleport until the mission is completed or failed, and dying in the mission can only be resurrected after it is over." After speaking, the fat man made a gesture of please.
I met Violet's eyes and led the way into the teleportation aperture.
The scene changed, and the small village, which had just been a clear sky, had become silent late at night, and the doors of every house were closed, and the whole village was shrouded in darkness, except for an adobe house in the middle where the faint light shone in the middle.
That should be the village chief's house. By location, it's a good place to be attacked.
"That's the village chief's house," said the fat man, pointing to the house with the lights on, "Let's go over and talk to the village chief, and then the attack will begin, and the countdown will be five hours, during which you will not be able to enter or leave the dungeon."
"Let's get started!" I said to the fat man.
The fat man nodded, took us to the village chief's house, knocked on the door, and an old man with loess buried eyebrows came out, said a few words to the fat man, and then returned to the house.
"Here we go." As he spoke, the fat man took out a staff from the package and stood at the door of the village chief to observe the surroundings vigilantly.
"Here we go." The brute bull shouted as well, and at the same time took it out of the package...... A bottle of wine, followed by plate after plate of dishes.
“……?” The fat man's eyes are about to pop out, and this meeting may be the first time he has seen it.
Sitting cross-legged, the five of us began to eat and drink with the help of the light from the window of the village chief's house.
"You're not kidding...... the fat man frowned slightly, "you're wasting some time at most if you fail the mission, but I have other things to do." ”
"Don't be so nervous," I grinned and took a sip of wine, which tasted exactly like the real thing, "Now that the village chief is in the house, the enemy can only break through a few of us if they want to attack, and now they don't know where they are, we can't just keep our eyes open and wait, right?" After saying that, I took another bite of food and stuffed it into my mouth, chewing and vaguely comforting the fat man.
"This ......" The fat man was also a little tempted, he knew that what I said was not unreasonable, and it was really useless to do it like this. But after all, it was his task, and he was nervous and didn't dare to relax for a moment, so he didn't think about bringing wine and food.
