Chapter 63: The second shopkeeper

"Now that he has won the title of righteous man, he also needs Brother Ren to contribute more to the stability of the court and the countryside, you see, these brands are all issued by the imperial court to eliminate the task, not only rich establishment, but also a lot of prestige, court merits, and even rare treasures and court official rewards, it is really rare. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”

The lieutenant was very enthusiastic and asked Lin Ran to choose the above brands, encouraging and encouraging Lin Ran to buy a few.

The tasks of the imperial court are divided into lv1~9 levels, and the order to remove the Kou that Lin Ran completed before is the lowest-level task, and it is sold for one or two silver here in Duwei. In addition, there is also a lv2 sandalwood brand of the suppression order, which requires the elimination of 50 thieves, which is more than 5 times more difficult than the first-level task, and the rewards are much richer, with a small amount of merit, prestige, copper coins, and equipment.

By analogy, the lv3 level quest is more than 5 times higher than the lv2 one, requiring the elimination of a small cottage with more than 300 thieves, and a number of merits, experience, equipment, silver taels, and official positions.

Lv9 Golden Token Swing Order, which requires the elimination of a giant bandit base with more than 150,000 thieves, the difficulty of the task is at least more than 100,000 times that of the lv1 level task, and the reward is a huge amount of imperial court merits, a large amount of gold, and the imperial court three-rank Pingkou general.

The rewards of the tasks are indeed very tempting, but the price of this token is not low, the lowest level of lv1 tasks also cost one tael of silver, lv2 level tasks cost 10 taels of silver, and lv3 level 50 taels...... Lv9 level 10,000 taels of silver, Lin Ran knows his current strength, it is a little reluctant to complete the lv1 level task, no matter how attractive the rewards of other tasks are, it is not something that he can digest in this small village now.

"Little White Righteous Warrior, you have a crush on that mission?" The lieutenant asked.

Lin Ran said: "Forget it, my strength is weak now, so let's wait until I am strong in the future to do these tasks." ”

Du Wei's face sank, "Little Bai Yishi, that's not what you said, contributing to the imperial court, even if it is a lv1-level task, it is also a heart, if you don't even receive a task, then I have to doubt your loyalty to the imperial court." ”

Du Wei said to this point, Lin Ran didn't know the other party's fancy intestines, and most of the cost of receiving the task token ended up running into his pocket, so he was so eager. If you really don't buy it today, I'm afraid you'll offend this money-hungry Captain.

"I'll buy a de-criminalization order." Lin Ran reluctantly picked up an extermination order, and the reward he had just obtained was deducted another 1,000 copper coins before it could be heated in his backpack.

Seeing Lin Ran's change of attitude and buy, Du Wei's face was happy, and he said with a smile: "That's right, it is the duty of me and other Han people to contribute to the imperial court, and Xiaobai Yishi will definitely make a big difference in the future." If you want to get the court mission in the future, just come to me! ”

Lin Ran thanked him twice speechlessly and left the Governor's Mansion. Although I always feel a little cheated by the other party, this order can increase the amount of merit necessary to upgrade the village, and it is worth it, and it can be done for Daqin first after I go back.

The night is already dark, and there will be a curfew after 1 a.m. in the city of Nanchang, and until 5 a.m. the next morning, residents in the city are not allowed to appear on the streets.

Lin Ran and Jiang Lao are looking for a place to live in the city, Nanchang City is extremely prosperous, and there are countless restaurants of all kinds, the most high-end Guoseju, the minimum consumption of dozens of taels of silver a night, the door is very lively, all kinds of food and wine, pretty beauties, Yingying Yanyan, so that Jiang Lao's face when he walked to the door of Guoseju couldn't help but redden, this kind of place has never been to him in his life.

Seeing that Jiang Lao was embarrassed, Lin Ran laughed, in the village, Jiang Lao always gave people a feeling of being old and serious, and it was the first time to see him like this.

But Lin Ran didn't go in, the little money in his backpack was not enough to order a pot of wine in it, bypassing the bustling Guose, Lin Ran turned the corner and found a small inn in a deserted alley, the scale was not even as big as the inn in Xiaobai Village, but it was also cleaned quickly, charging 20 copper overnight, Lin Ran and Jiang Lao opened a room to live.

Under the warm greeting of the shopkeeper, Lin Ran and Jiang Lao ordered a few dishes to eat on the first floor of the inn.

At this moment, the night was deep and lonely, only Lin Ran and the two of them were eating on the first floor of the entire inn, and Xiao Er stood next to Lin Ran and chatted with Lin Ran.

This little second is sharp-toothed, speaks easily and interestingly, because he often receives all kinds of diners, and his horizons are much broader than ordinary NPCs, and he often quotes some very interesting opinions and words, which makes Lin Ran feel very interesting.

Lin Ran invited the shopkeeper to sit down and eat, drink and chat together. The shopkeeper was also generous, and sat down very naturally.

"Little Er, how much salary do you pay the shopkeeper in this inn for a month?" Lin Ran asked.

"Hey, our business is deserted, and the owner pays 30 copper a month. For this amount of wages, they are often in arrears for a period of time because of the dismal business. The shopkeeper sighed and said.

"Haha, it's a coincidence, I also have an inn here that needs a shopkeeper, and I will give you twice the salary in January, what do you think?" Lin Ran temporarily found a villager to act as a shopkeeper in the inn of the village before, but the villagers' intelligence is low, and they are a little clumsy, and the restaurant in the village is really busy now, so Lin Ran had the idea of recruiting this clever shopkeeper during the conversation.

"Is there really such a good thing? Is it that place in town? The shopkeeper was attracted and asked.

"Not in the city, in a village outside the city."

"The inn in the village?!" When the shopkeeper heard this, he shook his head again and again: "If you don't go, you can't go, I'm a city person, I have food, drink and safety, what are I going to the countryside to suffer." And now the countryside is so dangerous, maybe it will be intercepted by bandits in the mountains that day, and there will be no place to cry. ”

"No, our village is very safe, there will be no dangerous ......" Lin Ran explained a big chase to the shopkeeper, but the shopkeeper was very stubborn and insisted on refusing to leave the city and go to the countryside.

"In this case, if you are willing to go with us, I will give you a salary of 80 copper a month, and if you think it is dangerous there or do not want to stay, I will also give you the money to go back to the city, how about it?" Lin Ran suggested very sincerely.

80 copper coins is already more than three times the salary of the shopkeeper in this inn. The shopkeeper was a little hesitant at first, but he still had some doubts, how could such a high salary be offered in a rural village?

"You're not lying to me, are you? Will there be a place in the countryside that is willing to pay such a high salary? ”

Lin Ran smiled, "I'm the head of this village, why are you lying to you?" This is the deputy head of our village. ”

Although the village chief is a small official, he is also a ten-rank official officially canonized by the imperial court, and as soon as Lin Ran revealed his identity, the suspicion on the other party's face immediately decreased by more than half.

"Okay, the countryside is the countryside, and I can't even afford to pay my salary in this poor acid inn, as long as you can guarantee to give me so much salary every month, I will stay in your village."

The shopkeeper agreed, Lin Ran was both surprised and a little surprised, when he came to Nanchang City before, he also tried to subdue some NPCs in the city to go to the village, but they were all closed, and they were rejected every time. Now it seems that there are just some conditions that he has not met. These conditions should have something to do with one's status, prestige, official position, and money.

While a few people were talking, a ragged figure slowly crept in at the door, and the wind at the door blew, bringing in a burst of stench, which made people unhappy. Under the messy and dirty long hair, Lin Ran found that even if this person's face was covered with stains, he couldn't hide a sense of arrogance.
