Chapter 11: The Wanderer's Union
How to make money in another world?
Such a grand proposition, for Su Mu, a second-year teenager who has read countless articles, is simply not too familiar with the road.
Build airships, make glass, invest and play gambling!
If Su Mu wanted to list it, Su Mu would be able to list countless possibilities in an instant.
However, what is extremely embarrassing is that all the routines that Su Mu is familiar with do not seem to be suitable for his state of having nothing and being extremely urgent.
Building airships and making glass obviously will take time to prototype.
However, when you invest and play gambling, you need strong funds to back you up.
If Su Mu really had such a large amount of money, I am afraid that he would have gone directly to the center of the world a long time ago, and where would he continue to think about the problem of accumulating money.
So after some argumentation, Su Mu was a little helpless.
The only thing he can do at the moment is the one that can't give full play to the advantages of the traverser. Even in such a fantasy world, it can be said that it is the most ordinary one.
......
At the back of the commercial area of Coldstone Town, there is a street with a slightly narrow width, but it is also full of people.
Unlike the main street in front of you, there is not a single shop in the back street, but only countless taverns on top of each other.
And in each tavern beside the road, at this time there are constantly shuttling warriors with various weapons. There are even sporadic magic apprentices in robes, who are also scattered among their fellow warriors.
Obviously, this is where the mercenaries of Coldstone Town gather.
And in the most central and conspicuous position of this street where the mercenaries gathered, there was a huge sign with a sword and axe crossed.
That symbol represents one of the most powerful organizations in the Continent of Parinoia, a giant organization that is in charge of all mercenary services...... Wanderers Union.
According to the hint given by Allen earlier, Su Mu quietly walked through the countless taverns lined up, and walked directly towards the wanderer's union in the middle of the street.
After several times of imagination and self-denial, Su Mu's final choice of money-making method still returned to the most primitive mercenary dispatch.
However, for this choice, Su Mu did not think about it.
According to the information that Su Mu heard from Alan and the others before coming here. The so-called mercenary dispatch on this continent is actually only two ways in the final analysis:
The first way is to act as a long-term escort for a permanent employer, like Allen. In fact, both parties only use the union as a medium to ensure that the other party cannot easily breach the contract.
Alternatively, employers randomly post tasks based on their needs, and fighters they think are up to the task to join in and protect a single part of the journey.
And the price of this second type of employment is significantly higher than that of the first one.
Because in this second way, the place where the employer wants to go is often not close to the neighborhood, and it is very likely that the employer will suddenly change direction in the middle of the way.
Therefore, many fighters who have parents, wives and children are often reluctant to take on such tasks.
However, this kind of task, which seems to be a chicken rib for others, is undoubtedly the best choice for Su Mu, who is bent on going to the center of the world.
Su Mu's two most urgent needs at the moment are to get commissions and make long-distance transfers.
The second type of employment seems to be a perfect fit.
So now Su Mu, who has a clear goal and is extremely short of money, can't find any reason to refuse this tailor-made employment task.
......
Accompanied by the copper bell on the wooden door, the moment Su Mu pushed the door, it immediately made a crisp sound of a jingle bell. Su Mu finally stepped on the mottled light of the sunset being cut by the shutter door, and walked into the hall of the Wanderers' Union.
"Yo, you're still stuck in time, if you come a little later, you'll have to accept the hire again tomorrow. ”
Next to the task table in the hall, a little chubby girl said to Su Mu with a heavy sword on her back a little ridiculously. And while she was laughing, she also opened the task roster in her hand with exceptionally neat hands and feet.
While the girl was searching, she quickly spoke again:
"So you have a few levels of the Wanderer's Emblem, so I'll see what missions you can take over. ”
Because Su Mu was carrying such a heavy giant sword on his back, the girl didn't doubt Su Mu's level at all, and directly confirmed what level he was.
"Uh...... This is my first time taking on a quest and I haven't registered for a level yet. ”
Su Mu was slightly embarrassed, and found that he still underestimated the conditions for accepting employment.
For Su Mu's answer, the girl who was in charge of releasing the task was obviously also a little surprised. Even after some surprise, he immediately seemed slightly embarrassed.
Because of the vast majority of employment tasks, employers also require employees to have at least one level of strength. And what can really prove this is the qualification badge of that first-order wanderer.
As for the way to obtain the first-order wanderer badge, it is to participate in the union's semi-annual qualification assessment.
Therefore, according to the system of the Wanderer Guild, Su Mu, who did not even have a first-order badge, no matter how strong he was now, he still couldn't receive any employment tasks.
The girl looked at Su Mu a little speechlessly, guessing which high-level compound he was from, and the most basic common sense of the family did not explain it clearly.
But speechless is speechless, the girl is still relatively kind after all.
Rather than directly blowing Su Mu away, making him wait for a few more months in Hanshi Town, and waiting until the next assessment to continue his experience, the girl was still willing to think a little more after all.
Not to mention, when Su Mu looked at the girl pitifully with this face now.
For a girl of this age, it is simply a kind of lethal force.
"Wait, I remember someone posted a mercenary more than ten days ago, it seems that because the destination is too far away, it seems that he has not been able to gather enough mercenaries so far, I will see if he has any notes to lower the conditions. ”
As the girl spoke, she quickly picked up the task in her memory.
But at the same time, the shutter door of the union hall was pushed open again.
And with the joy of a brass bell, an elegant old man over sixty years old also walked to the girl's place with his entourage:
"Actually, I really had no intention of eavesdropping. But if I'm not mistaken, the mission you're talking about is the one I posted twelve days ago. ”
As he spoke, the old man took the credentials for the assignment from the servant's hand, and explained again:
"As you can see, this old shipment has been delayed for too long. And as a businessman who buys and sells for a living, I can't wait forever. So even if the number of guards was not enough, I decided to pay them 30% more and let them leave early. ”
When the old man said this, he also looked back at Su Mu on the side.
Even before Su Mu took the initiative to speak, the old man had already said bluntly:
"After such a long delay, I still haven't been able to gather enough people, so the old decay will naturally no longer have any more restraints. If you don't mind, I'll hire you according to the usual standards of a warrior. ”
As for the proposal of this elderly businessman, Su Mu at this time was of course unable to refuse.
After all, it is impossible for Su Mu to wait for half a year now.
