Chapter 39: The Regret of Meeting an Acquaintance Again
"Thank you, Outsider!"
The steward of the Xu family who recruited Shen Xia at the beginning no longer had any contempt on his face, but a warm smile on his face. After Shen Xia killed Scrooge Nine Lives with the help www.biquge.info of the Xu family's trap, he sent the professional who had delayed his trip for a day early the next morning, and invited Shen Xia back by the way, and held such a celebration.
Coincidentally, Shen Xia also achieved his goal after the upgrade, and wanted to come back to hand over the commission, and the two sides hit it off.
"Steward Xu is too polite, we who live here temporarily can also be regarded as a member of Ginkgo Village, and we should do our part when we encounter this kind of monster that kills civilians. What's more, without the trap set by the Xu family in advance and the assistance of other heroic guards, I would not have been able to defeat it. ”
The principle of carrying a sedan chair is common in any world. People give face, and Shen Xia naturally wants to praise the Xu family, so that the faces of Steward Xu and the others become more and more bright.
In this way, it is not a grand celebration, and the atmosphere seems to be very lively.
Under the gaze of the representatives of other aboriginal forces in Ginkgo Village, Steward Xu, on behalf of Xu Jiadian's forces, announced the reward for Shen Xia.
Before that, Shen Xia was entrusted with stationing in the medicine field for more than half a month, or killing more than five nail rake cats. The reward is that a bottle of Jinchuang medicine (small amount) is guaranteed, and the rest depends on the situation. Now, Shen Xia not only killed more than a dozen nail rake cats before and after, but also used the trap to kill Scrooge Nine Lives, almost intact the medicine field, and only killed an ordinary guard at the last moment, and his record far exceeded the requirements of the commission.
It is precisely because of this that the Xu family gave a generous reward that even Shen Xia did not expect.
A bottle of Golden Creation Medicine (a small amount) is the proper meaning, and on top of this, there is also a reward of 100 magic gold coins, plus the potion purchased in Xujiadian in the future, which will be sold at cost price (there is an upper limit on the purchase amount per month)!
A hundred gold!
Shen Xia rose from LV1 to LV2, and the gold coins obtained from killing monsters fell, all of which added up to less than a hundred gold. If you take into account the wear and tear of the cloth and the wooden sword and the repair costs, the surplus left is even less pitiful. These 100 magic gold coins are really a lot of money for the current traverser.
As for the purchase of potions at cost price, not to mention.
Now the strength of the traverser is not good, and they don't have skills yet, and the efficiency of killing monsters is very low. As the strength gradually increases, the number of battles becomes more frequent, and the potions consumed will naturally increase dramatically. You can buy potions at cost price, and you can save a lot of money under the long flow of water!
The only pity is that by that time, Shen Xia had probably left Ginkgo Village and headed for Beechcraft King City.
After all, this is just a novice village-level town, and basically, professionals who have passed LV7 rarely stay here. But having said that, it is precisely because of this that Xu Jiadian dared to make this promise so generously that it seems to be valid for life, but in fact the effect is greatly reduced. Moreover, the upper limit of the purchase amount per month also ensures that Shen Xia can basically only use it for his own use, and it is difficult to resell it on a large scale.
Of course, even so, Shen Xia was still very satisfied with this reward.
It was in vain that he spent half a month on a hillside ten miles away from the ginkgo village!
………
The murder of Scrooge and Nine Lives is basically confined to the aboriginal circles. The traversers in the ginkgo village, first, are not many, and secondly, they are busy working to survive, or go out to kill monsters and level up, and few have spare time. Even if a few people hear the news, they only go in the left ear and out the right ear, and they generally don't take it to heart.
But there are always people who are exceptions.
For example, Jiang Wenshan, who was also promoted to LV2 as early as a week ago, or his cousin Fang Jin, who just completed his job transfer and arrived in Ginkgo Village.
And...... Shan Xiaoya, the former female tour guide of the bus.
This young woman, who traveled to Marfa at the same time as Shen Xia, couldn't bear the harsh training every day after persisting for two months, and finally chose to give up, and was deprived of her cultivation talent by the system, and became an ordinary person again. Not long after that, she left the temple and settled in the village of Ginkgo.
Before leaving, he also invited Shen Xia to come to Ginkgo Village to find her as a guest.
Due to the fact that it had been a long time, and because he had accepted the commission of the Xu family the next day after arriving in Ginkgo Village, Shen Xia did not think of visiting this acquaintance half a month ago. But he didn't expect that he would accidentally run into each other in a block of professionals in the middle of Ginkgo Village.
I haven't seen her for a while, Shan Xiaoya looks a lot more tanned than before, and her clothes are also in authentic aboriginal style, with a somewhat greasy apron on the outside. If you don't look closely, you can hardly see the temperament that belongs to the traverser. At this moment, she was carrying a big lunch box in her hand, which should have just come out of a nearby restaurant to deliver food to professionals.
"Is that you?"
Seeing Shen Xia head-on, Shan Xiaoya couldn't confirm it for the first time. I was a little stunned for a while, and then I recognized Shen Xia, and I couldn't help but feel a little at a loss.
I remember that a few months ago, I was a Taoist like the other party. And now, she has changed two jobs successively, and finally worked as a dirty and tired cook, but the other party successfully became a professional, and even killed the famous monster in one fell swoop - in the aboriginal restaurant, this matter has not been discussed, and even once made Shan Xiaoya suspect that what she heard was the same name, not the person she once knew!
But the current encounter proves that the Shen Xia he heard is the person in front of him.
Realizing the gap between the two, she couldn't help but look down at her outfit, ashamed in her heart, obviously not wanting to be seen by acquaintances.
Shen Xia was also a little surprised by this encounter.
It can be seen that Shan Xiaoya's situation is not very good. Only, what can he say? Everyone's path is their own choice. At that time, Shan Xiaoya gave up becoming a professional, so she should have thought about how she would survive in the Marfa world after becoming an ordinary person.
Perhaps, the sympathy he showed only made the other party more remorseful.
If it was a very good friend, Shen Xia might help her. After all, if you just raise an ordinary person, it is not difficult to be a professional with your identity and strength. But to put it bluntly, Shen Xia didn't even know each other at all before the crossing, it was a simple relationship between a tour guide and a tourist. And what reason and motive does he have to do superfluous things?
The best thing to do is probably to pretend not to see it.
He greeted the other party with an unchanged expression, and said something in a relaxed tone after Shan Xiaoya left the Taoist Academy, and then said that he had a commission to do, and left under Shan Xiaoya's complicated gaze.
After a long moment, she sighed and turned her head to lift the bulky food box again.
If you go back too late, you will definitely be scolded again.
Perhaps, I want to consider changing to a "special" job?
At this moment, Shan Xiaoya subconsciously remembered her boyfriend in the earth world, and she didn't want to be sorry for him. It's just that what made her suddenly panic was that the impression of her once gentle and considerate boyfriend in her mind was becoming more and more blurred and marginalized. Until now, she couldn't even remember what the other party looked like for a while.
After going back that night, Shan Xiaoya couldn't sleep all night!
