Chapter 25: I Am the Taskbar
Shanzi didn't care, handed Xiao Lang a page of paper, and then said: "These are the two tasks that we have hung out in the Great Holy Hall, how do you think the rewards are reasonable?" β
Xiao Lang glanced at it, there was nothing surprising about these two tasks, they were almost the same as the tasks that those guilds themselves were willing to "undertake", one was to kill the cultivators of the human race, and the other was to collect the cultivation exercises of the three schools of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism.
What is "surprising" is that this page also records the amount of rewards that the Great Holy Hall has taken out this time - white magatama: five million; Cyan Magata: 100,000 pieces.
Yellow Order Ritual Instruments: 1,700,000 pieces; Xuanjie magic weapons: 50,000 pieces; Ground level magic weapons: 3,000 pieces; Heavenly Rank Artifact: Two pieces.
Yellow order materials: 3.2 million species; Meta-level materials: 1.8 million kinds; Tier materials: 500,000 species; Heaven-level materials: 80,000 kinds.
I have to admire, the demon clan is rich, and it can really come up with such an objective number of rewards, and this is only taken out by Sun Liuer, just to reward the two tasks hung out by the Great Holy Hall, not counting the rewards of the demon lords from all walks of life.
"How about Xiao Gongzi, these hook jade and magic weapons as a reward, is it enough?" Shanzi asked softly again.
Xiao Lang was stunned for a moment, and first asked rhetorically: "If I don't say enough, how much more can the demon clan come up with?" β
Shanzi said: "Only within my authority, I can take out another double." And if these two tasks assigned by the Great Sage can be completed well enough, I believe that with the generosity of the Great Sage, it should not be a problem to come up with ten times. β
- Really? The local tyrant is unique!
Xiao Lang said that this demon clan can no longer be called rich, it is simply a money printing machine!
Didn't you say that you had been surviving in the 100,000 mountains for a thousand years? Do you still have the financial resources?
This was obviously a big surprise to Xiao Lang.
To know that Dongsheng Shenzhou is a complete continent. The main part is guarded by fifteen Lock Demon Sealing Towers. It is divided into five major blocks: Central Plains. Beiguan, East China Sea, Xishan, South Xinjiang.
The Yingxia Mountain where they are now located belongs to the Central Plains of Shenzhou, and the Burial Sword Mountain Villa is located in the West Mountain.
Since ancient times, it has been recognized that the Central Plains is the richest, followed by the East China Sea and the West Mountain. Beiguan and Southern Xinjiang are at the bottom.
The Central Plains, Beiguan, Donghai, and Xishan have been controlled by Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism for thousands of years, and the southern Xinjiang is the most chaotic, but it has always been covered by the Taoist Qingcheng faction.
But obviously, the 100,000 mountains entrenched by the demon race are not the barren desert described by the human race. Looking at the number of people who have come up with rewards, they are far richer than the Twelve Heavenly Gates.
Although Xiao Lang didn't know if the Twelve Heavenly Gates of the Dao could take out millions of magatas casually. More than a million artifacts as a reward for players. But Xiao Lang knew that the twelve Heavenly Gates only had a total of ten Heavenly Rank magic weapons, which meant that there were still several Heavenly Gates that didn't even have one, so they were at least reluctant to take out the Heavenly Rank magic weapons as a reward.
Xiao Lang believes that if the list of rewards in his hand spreads, then he will be far from being interested in the big cats and kittens in front of him now, or the nine major alliances, and they must be extremely interested - even if they are not interested in the magic weapons of the demon clan, they will not take the things that can be purchased with money very seriously, but those materials, they can't help but be unmoved, after all, the difficulty of upgrading the cave mansion, Xiao Lang himself has already tried, if it weren't for the hundred treasure boy of Shuang'er, Xiao Lang would only be able to watch the Zixuan Cave Zhaotian.
"Xiao Gongzi, the matter here will be handed over to you, and the rest should not be my business." Shanzi said again.
He was just about to turn around and leave, but Xiao Lang stopped him: "Where are these reward items?" β
Shanzi pointed to the little demon with a rat head and rat brain, and said: "If you need anything, just look for him, he will not disobey any of your orders, by the way, there is also a little demon named Liujia, you will be able to see it later." β
"You can also find him to get the things of the Heavenly Ladder directly?" Xiao Lang asked.
"Of course." Shanzi said.
Unexpectedly, this little demon with thief eyebrows and rat eyes looked like a passerby, but it was a highest-level warehouse keeper.
"Liuding salutes the master." Under Shanzi's instructions, this guy directly signed up for Xiao Lang to salute, and his voice was sharp, which made people feel like a eunuch.
"What if I take out the Heavenly Rank Magic Weapon and run away?" Xiao Lang had one more mouth, even if he didn't have such an idea in his heart, but for the unconditional trust of the demon clan, Xiao Lang was really a little flattered.
It's as if I've written the word pervert on my face, but a cute girl asks herself to help not let outsiders see her in the bath, and in the face of this trust that shouldn't belong to her, she always feels that something is wrong.
Maybe if someone looked at Xiao Lang himself, he would feel a little better in his heart. And this Liuding, Xiao Lang directly swept it with [Wisdom Eye].
Xiao Lang didn't want to hurt him, he just wanted to see his realm cultivation, but he didn't expect to almost kill Liuding with just one glance. I saw Liuding convulsing all over his body, foaming at the mouth. But Shanzi didn't mean to stop Xiao Lang at all, if Xiao Lang didn't see that the situation was wrong and immediately withdrew his hand, this poor Liuding was afraid that he would be killed by Xiao Lang's "loss of eye".
The result is that Liuding is just a demon cultivator in the Jindan period, if Xiao Lang has bad intentions, he alone will not be able to stop Xiao Lang at all.
"If you run, you run, that's something that the Great Sage needs to think about, and it's not mine." Shanzi said lightly, as if he didn't care, and then really walked away, no longer giving Xiao Lang a chance to "be verbose".
At the peak of the sun, there are only Xiao Lang and Liuding left, and there are two "demon clans".
Liuding is a rat clan, not to mention that in terms of his cultivation, he is almost the lowest existence in the demon clan out of the mountain, for Xiao Lang to "teach" himself for no reason, Liuding is panicked in his heart, only when this master he has never seen is extremely difficult to serve, just now it was just a knock on himself.
After having such a calculation in his heart, Liuding treated Xiao Lang extremely deferentially, after Shanzi left. Hurriedly moved the sandalwood chair and trotted all the way. After serving Xiao Lang sat down. added tea and poured water for Xiao Lang, and completely positioned himself as a servant.
Xiao Lang actually wanted to apologize to Liuding Dao, but people suffered from the disaster because of their temporary itching, and Xiao Lang only felt that he couldn't go. However, there were still two or three hundred players in front of him, and it was really not a good time for Dao Lu to apologize at this time, so he stopped his mouth and prepared to deal with the bargaining of these players first.
I didn't expect these players to look at me, and I looked at you. None of them left first, letting Xiao Lang eat cup after cup of tea.
The bird was about to fade out of his mouth, Xiao Lang frowned, and when Liuding saw this, he hurriedly removed the teacup and replaced it with a new cup of tea.
But Xiao Lang frowned because of this, only to hear Xiao Lang say aloud: "Are you here just to watch me drink tea!" β
How did Xiao Lang know that these people had been dealing with Shanzi and Liuding a few days ago. Shanzi Demon Monarch is a "proud" guy who almost dismisses all players. Players must not know that Lu Dao Shanzi is also so indifferent to the Great Sage.
And Liuding is a master who can only "do things according to the rules", and he can't be the master. I don't dare to change the slightest power. But these two demon clans are at least two "qualified" NPCs, and they are generally kind to players, more than a hundred times stronger than those demon clans who had to kill them at every turn earlier.
And Xiao Langguang's face mask doesn't look like a good class, Shanzi Demon Monarch is kind to him, which proves in the eyes of the player that this person's status in the demon clan is at least all the way to the demon monarch, and Xiao Lang almost killed Liuding if he didn't agree with each other, which made the player mistakenly think that this Xiao Lang was like the demon clan who was murderous earlier.
Naturally, the player didn't dare to say anything, for fear of upsetting the grumpy demon lord and giving away his life in vain. Just thinking about when Xiao Lang will leave, they will follow, ignoring today's matter for the time being, and talking about it later.
"I am the Demon Clan's wolf ghost demon monarch, and I will be responsible for handing over the task rewards between you and the demon clan in the future." Although Xiao Lang didn't know what the players at the bottom of the road didn't dare to speak, he didn't want to really drink tea here for a day, and he had nothing to do, so he said out loud first: "The guilds that have completed the bounty tasks of the demon lords from all walks of life, come to me to receive the reward first." β
Liuding stomped his feet, and a little demon who looked similar to him came out of the top of the mountain, holding a half-booked account book in one hand and a brush in the other.
"Qiyu Demon Monarch, this is my brother Liujia, and he is responsible for recording and reconciling." Liuding said in a proper manner.
Xiao Lang smiled, he originally thought that these six Ding were both cashiers and custodians, it seems that the demon clan is not ignorant of the importance of division of labor and cooperation, but obviously these two are brothers, if it were put in reality, the company's money would have run away a long time ago.
And if this appearance is just one person, it doesn't feel anything, and now that the two brothers are standing together, I have to say that they are a little happy.
Under Xiao Lang's signal, Liujia began to read: "Heavenly Sword Guild, collect 30 purple gold fragrant jade flowers, and reward 50 white magata, can it be completed?" β
I saw a man walk out of the crowd, glanced at Xiao Lang, and then took out a Qiankun bag from his arms and threw it to Liujia.
Liujia took it, opened it and looked at it, and after confirming that it was correct, he drew a circle with an ink pen on the back of the Heavenly Sword Guild on the book, and then threw the Qiankun bag to Liuding, and then Liuding took out 50 pieces of magata, handed it to the person in charge of the Heavenly Sword Guild, and asked casually: "Did you bring the flower hoe back?" β
"It's damaged." The man replied.
Liuding nodded and didn't ask any more.
This is a task delivery, from beginning to end, Xiao Lang does not need to be responsible for anything, Liuding Liujia has long been familiar with the whole process, in comparison, Xiao Lang is more like an overseer.
"Wind and Snow Guild, condense 10 soul beads, reward 1 ground-level magic weapon or 5 ground-level materials, can you complete it?" Rokko said again.
"I'm sorry, the Blizzard Guild wasn't finished." One spoke.
"Then please return the embryo of the soul bead." Rokko said politely.
"This ......" the man seemed to be quite embarrassed, and he paused for a long time before he spoke again: "The embryo was accidentally damaged by my companion, sorry. β
Rokko seems to have expected this kind of thing, and is not prepared to embarrass him. In Xiao Lang's mind, the embryo of this soul bead may not be an expensive thing, and the demon clan is too lazy to recover it, as for the person who said that it is all damaged. Xiao Lang is not naΓ―ve. Nature will not believe it.
But it seems that Rokko is not surprised by this. Xiao Lang didn't say much.
"Huang Huai Gang, obtain the Qingmumen Town Sect Exercise "Wan Jiamu Sheng", reward 2 ground-level magic weapons, 1,000 cyan hook jade, can it be completed?"
"I'm sorry, the mission failed." The principal of the Huang Huai Gang said this, but there was no embarrassed look on his face.
"Please return the twenty invisibility talismans." Rokko said.
The person in charge handed over the seven-chapter talisman, and Rokko just glanced at it. Then he asked: "It's understandable to say that your sect used thirteen pieces, but why did the Baiyi Demon Monarch send out twenty stealth talismans of the ninth rank of the Xuan Rank, and the one you returned became the invisibility talisman of the second rank of the Yellow Rank?" β
"I don't know about this," the principal opened his eyes and began to talk nonsense, "Maybe it's because after a long time, the effect of this talisman has begun to disappear automatically." β
Liujia was speechless, turned his head to look at Xiao Lang, who had nothing to say, and had to give up.
β¦β¦
"Passers-by Chamber of Commerce, transport 300 quintals of rat fruit, 70,000 li, and reward 2,100 pieces of white magata. Can it be done? "Liujia finally read the last task, which was actually taken by the passerby Chamber of Commerce.
Although Xiao Lang did not make a sound from beginning to end. But I didn't listen to a word, among the nine alliances, only the passerby Chamber of Commerce created by Xia Xiaoci came to the demon clan to take over the task, and the other eight alliances should not be ignorant of the fact that there is a "big fat city" here, but what scruples there are.
"It's done." A handsome young man replied with a voice.
Liujia and Liuding whispered a few words, and couldn't help but ask the young man, "Isn't there any damage to the three hundred quintals of rat fruit?" β
"How can there be a mistake in the affairs of the passerby chamber of commerce?" The young man spoke with a bit of arrogance, and said to Liuding Liujia: "Or, in fact, there is no problem for our passer-by Chamber of Commerce to be greedy for dozens of burdens of ink, and your demon clan will not track us down?" β
"Xiao Xia, don't mess around!" But a middle-aged man next to him interrupted, and said to Liujia: "My nephew has no other meaning, our passer-by Chamber of Commerce has a reputation, and it all depends on the word integrity, and we will definitely not make such a self-destructive shame." β
After saying this, Liuding Liujia didn't say anything, and the rest of the small and medium-sized guilds didn't follow one after another, isn't this middle-aged man obviously squeezing them when he speaks?
It's just that this passerby chamber of commerce is indeed famous, although the name is the word chamber of commerce, but the force is not comparable to them, otherwise it would not be one of the nine major alliances, these small and medium-sized guilds dare to complain at most, or are they behind their backs.
The middle-aged man continued: "The Great Holy Hall may not know the Dao, but among the strangers, there is no doubt that the strength of our Passerby Chamber of Commerce ranks in the top nine. In the past month or so, we have cooperated with each other a lot of times, and every time we have been a perfect success, I believe that your faction has also seen it, and I don't know when we can deliver the real task to us. β
The so-called real tasks are those two, killing people and seizing books.
Liujia and Liuding glanced at Xiao Lang at the same time, and the meaning couldn't be more obvious, who is the person in charge here.
And Liujia is also funny in his heart This middle-aged man, he and Liuding are just two little minions, you have indeed done the best, but just the two of us have a fart in the eyes, this matter was too lazy for the Shanzi Demon Monarch to care, and now the new wolf ghost Demon Monarch cares, and this day I know the way.
But Xiao Lang still didn't speak, not pretending to be profound, but watching the reactions of others.
This part of Liujia has been fully processed, and he has no choice but to say directly to Xiao Lang: "Demon Lord, among the thirteen tasks that Inhumans have received, four have been completed, and nine have not been completed. Of the nine unfinished quests, only three can be reissued, and the remaining six are either because the time has elapsed or because the required items have been consumed, and the little ones need to go back to a few demon lords to make a decision. Today's new eight missions, along with the three failed missions, were distributed to the guilds present. β
"What's the distribution method?" Xiao Lang said curiously.
I really have to be curious. Because Xiao Lang has listened to it for so long, he already understands that even if these guilds take on the task and deliberately fail, it will be very profitable.
It can even be said that these guilds don't take on quests to complete them in the first place to get rewards.
There is no failure penalty anyway.
For example, the task of obtaining the "Wan Jiamu Sheng" exercise is obviously not something that a single player guild has the strength to do, even if it is the nine major alliances. Unless the Nine Families are united to prepare to storm Aoki Gate. But it doesn't always work.
After all, although the Aoki Gate is not the Twelve Heavenly Gates. It's not as good as the heritage of the Burial Sword Villa, but the bad guy still has a Yuan Infant Ancestor in charge, and now the player is no taller than the Jindan period, how many lives do you have to take to fill it?
can only rely on stealing, so Bai Yi will give twenty invisibility talismans up to the ninth rank of the Xuan Rank. It's a pity that it is difficult to steal other people's town sect exercises with these invisibility talismans alone, so this Huanghuai Gang obviously fought the idea of those invisibility talismans at the beginning.
There are not a few "smart" guilds like the Huanghuai Gang.
Therefore, the practice of the passerby chamber of commerce will seem so "out of place".
"The task issuance used to be the idea of Shanzi Demon Jun himself. There are no rules to follow. Rokko said honestly.
Xiao Lang suddenly found that his power seemed to be greater than he imagined.
There are two or three hundred players present, and they have to represent hundreds of guilds, and these one-time tasks sent by various demon lords are only about ten in total, and the average distribution is definitely not enough.
And if it is divided according to the strength of the guild, it is obviously the best choice to give it to the passerby chamber of commerce, which can not only ensure the success rate of the task, but also minimize unnecessary losses.
But the problem is that the Shanzi Demon Monarch understands the deep meaning of Sun Liu'er's move, and their demon clan issued these tasks, not relying on players to defeat the four Confucian sects. It's about enveloping players and thinking about the future. And since you want to envelop the players. So anyway, I don't miss this little money, and it is reasonable to give up some dividends appropriately to these guilds that have not gone too far.
That's why when Shanzi issues tasks, there are no "rules to follow", which is basically equivalent to random distribution, depending on who is lucky. As for those who are unlucky, they can only look forward to the two long-term tasks, of course, since the two long-term tasks have not yet been determined, so they have not been announced for the time being.
However, these "eyes and ears" players have obviously known the news a long time ago, and have discussed these with Shanzi, that is, the things that Xiao Lang saw before.
As a result, those one-time tasks are secondary, and they are just an add-on. In fact, they are waiting for when the demon clan will announce the official task, according to the demon clan's usual "big spending" - the reward is very generous; "Heartless, heartless" - it is clear that the player deliberately did not return the various mission pre-items, but they never asked.
If a player wants to make a lot of money from it, it is not difficult to calculate it.
Xiao Lang looked at everyone, and finally spoke: "In the past, there were no rules here, and no one cared about you if you were lazy and cheating, but now, Liujia, you tell me that the Huanghuai Gang has received a total of several tasks and completed them several times." β
Liujia reacted quite quickly, didn't say any other nonsense, didn't look through the accounts again, and blurted out directly: "In the past month, the Huanghuai Gang has received a total of three tasks, and the number of completions is zero. β
The person in charge of the Huanghuai Gang immediately said dissatisfiedly: "It's that every time the mission sent to us by the Demon Monarch is too difficult, it's normal to fail, and we can't blame it." If we also go to pick some flowers and plants, our Huanghuai Gang can also complete it! β
The person in charge of the Purple Gold Fragrance Yuhua and the Heavenly Sword Guild snorted coldly, and was too lazy to distinguish it.
Xiao Lang ignored it, and said directly to Liujia: "There are a few times when I have been greedy for ink with all the pre-items like today." β
The person in charge couldn't hear what Xiao Lang meant, and immediately choked and said: "How can we call it greedy ink, is that called normal consumption!" β
The head of the Qiantian Horse in Xiao Lang's hand came directly to the west with a sword, and the person couldn't react at all, and directly turned into a white light and left.
With the current coercion of Xiao Lang's fetal breath, even if he uses an iron sword, he doesn't need to make a second move to kill these players in seconds.
"Noise." Xiao Lang's eyes glowed with scarlet green light, which shocked everyone into silence.
They didn't know that Lu Dao's heterochromatic eyes were the effect of masking, and they only thought that the wolf ghost demon monarch was such a murderous master, and even his eyes were so terrifying.
Rokko seemed to be half a beat slower, and only then did he whisper back, "Three times, all of them." β
"Which guild has a 100% mission completion rate, or has never been greedy for pre-items." Xiao Lang asked again.
"Passerby's Chamber of Commerce." Rokko replied.
"Are they the only ones?" Xiao Lang asked.
Rokko nodded heavily.
Xiao Lang stroked his forehead, and sure enough, there was such a situation.
The middle-aged and young man from the passer-by chamber of commerce at the bottom obviously guessed what Xiao Lang was going to do, and couldn't help but smile, what Miss Xindao said was indeed right, only if you are not greedy for a small profit, can you have today's return.
It's a pity that Xiao Lang didn't think it was that simple. (To be continued......)
