In fact, Chen Jian never planned to hire adventurers in the mercenary guild from the beginning. One is that he has no money, or he doesn't have the money of this world for the time being.

Secondly, he and Jiang Jinjiu had been looking underground for a long time before, and they had not encountered a shadow of Lu Xing fresh mushrooms, which showed that the area of the underground space was very large, and it was a very low efficiency and success rate to just hire a few people to go to the underground cave to find Lu Xing fresh mushrooms.

The third is that after the battle with the Sharman Python, Chen Jian has a certain understanding of the danger of this world, this is only a low-level demonic beast, it is already so laborious, if you encounter a more powerful and more numerous demonic beast underground, it will not be them who eat the demonic beast, but the demonic beast will eat them.

So last night, Chen Jian thought of a plan to kill three birds with one stone, and their preparations before the crossing included bringing a small piece of gold and some gems, this is so that if the other world also uses gold as an exchange currency, they can use this piece of gold to exchange for money, if not, then these beautiful gems may be used to exchange for money.

Chen Jian plans to use these gold and precious stones, plus the legend about the elven treasure that he heard from old Morgan last night, to set up a fake treasure game. In order to attract adventurers to take the initiative to explore the Misty Forest.

In this way, they don't need to spend a lot of money to hire people to help find the Lu Xing Fresh Mushrooms, but only need to pay a price to recover the loot after the adventurers encountered the Lu Xing Fresh Mushrooms in the process of searching for treasure. This price is relatively low, because the Luxing Fresh Mushroom is just a low-level magic plant, and its combat power is weaker than that of low-level demonic beasts, and it is about the same as ordinary beasts. An ordinary level 2 warrior can kill Lu Xing Fresh Mushroom one-on-one.

And with a large number of adventurers heading to the Misty Forest, as the closest supply point to the Misty Forest, it can naturally bring income such as food and lodging and item trading to Yir Village. To improve the poor life of the villagers, the caravan that Morgan Sr. had been thinking about would surely resume its journey to the village of Il.

To put it simply, it is to fool the adventurer to go on an adventure in the Misty Forest, and then earn the adventurer's money for food, lodging and supplies, and then use the money earned to buy the land-walking fresh mushrooms found by the adventurer, which is simply an empty glove white wolf.

So when Chen Jian told Jiang Jinjiu about this plan, Jiang Jinjiu felt a sense of relief that the silly little brother in the family had finally grown up.

"I can't imagine that your kid has thick eyebrows and big eyes, and he can play the routine so deeply."

"It's not that the one who is close to Zhu is red, and the one who is close to ink is black, last time Brother Jiang taught me the method of fooling those big guys, which made me think that this time I can actually make up a story that people can't help but believe, and fool adventurers into adventuring in the Misty Forest."

"Yes, it's better to be blue than blue, but what about the magician in the forest?" Jiang Jinjiu's consideration of the problem is still relatively comprehensive.

"The reclusive magician is indeed the biggest uncertaintie, but old Morgan also said that he himself has not appeared for many years, and even the golem servant has not appeared in the last six months, and it cannot be ruled out that he may be dead, or have left here, or is in a state of isolation from the outside world. Then the arrival of the adventurer is also a temptation to see how the magician reacts, otherwise we ourselves will often go into the forest at risk. ”

Jiang Jinjiu approved Chen Jian's plan, and the two discussed it and added some details in the plan. When Chen Jian met Jona, who claimed to be a treasure hunter, at the door of the Mercenary Tavern, he realized that this person was one of the best candidates for the next set.

After Qiao Na left, Chen Jian did not leave in a hurry, but found another opportunity to chat with the bartender with the scar on his face, mainly to understand the operation mechanism of the mercenary union.

Sure enough, in addition to rewarding tasks, it also has weapons maintenance, prop supply, item identification, intelligence trading, and low-level warrior professional level evaluation.

Chen Jian started the second step of the plan and took out a compass, this thing can't play its due role in the Orient continent, but this thing itself is very exquisitely made, it is a collection of Jiang Jinjiu's own, and the design style is imitating the classical British style of the Victorian era, elegant, subtle, and noble.

Then he said that he wanted to ask an appraiser from the mercenary guild to identify what it was. So the bartender took Chen Jian to a room on the second floor of the tavern.

Jiang Jinjiu did not follow in, but asked the mercenary union to do a warrior professional rating for himself. As a devout martial artist, I also want to know what the fighting style and martial arts system of the warriors in this world are.

After Chen Jian entered the door, he saw an old man dressed as a scholar sitting behind a large table, smoking a pipe and reading a book.

"Hello, I'm here for an appraisal." When he came, Chen Jian had already asked about the price, the identification fee for non-magic items was not expensive, and the money brought by Valen was enough.

After paying the appraisal fee, the appraiser picked up a magnifying glass and carefully observed Chen Jian's compass. After reading for a while, I went to the back bookshelf to find some books to consult, and then returned to the table to compare, and I didn't see a name for a long time.

Chen Jian remained silent and asked the old man to check slowly, anyway, no matter how you check, you can't find out the origin of this thing.

"I'm sorry, this guest, I can't identify the specific origin and purpose of this thing, I can only roughly guess that this thing may be a guide device, the workmanship is very fine and gorgeous, not like it was built by human craftsmen, if you really want to know more, I suggest you buy an identification scroll, you should be able to get more information about this item."

Chen Jian naturally wouldn't spend this unjust money to buy an appraisal scroll. After thanking the old man, he was ready to go out.

The appraiser hesitated, but still called out to Chen Jian. Chen Jian smiled secretly, knowing that another person had taken the bait.

"Excuse me, can you tell me where this thing came from?"

Chen Jian put away his smile, turned around, and pretended to be very unhappy, "What? Does the mercenary guild still care about the ins and outs of the adventurer's loot? ”

"Of course not, don't get me wrong...... In this way, I can pay you for the information related to this item. The appraiser stood up and said.

Chen Jian pretended to be a little hesitant, and the appraiser hurriedly added, "One gold coin!" ”

One gold coin is almost equal to the per capita annual income of the villagers of Yi'er Village, and this price is indeed not low, so Chen Jian made a greedy expression like an actor possessed, "Give money first!" ”

After the appraiser shouted the price, he also regretted it a little, for the origin of a non-magic prop, it was a bit too high to pay a gold coin for the intelligence fee, but since he had already said it, he could only grit his teeth and pay.

After Chen Jian accepted the gold coin, he repeated the rhetoric he had told Jona. Hearing that it was obtained in the Misty Forest, the appraiser fell silent thoughtfully.

Chen Jian didn't care what the appraiser thought, and went downstairs back to the tavern. saw Valen looking at Jiang Jinjiu, who was drinking again, with a strange expression.

Last night, old Morgan mistakenly thought that Jiang Jinjiu broke through the barrier, and the vision caused by the improvement of his skill was the transformation of the fighting spirit of the glorious warrior, but in fact, Jiang Jinjiu's cultivation was not the fighting spirit, and he didn't know whether he was strong or weak in the force system of this world.

"The result? The highest level of a warrior here is 5, so you don't have a fighting spirit, but at least level 4 should be fine. ”

Before Jiang Jinjiu could speak, Valen on the side finally couldn't hold it back, "Their assessment results say that Lord Kratos is not a warrior, but a warrior monk, and they can't be a warrior monk's professional grade assessment......"

"What? What the hell is a warrior monk? Chen Jian was puzzled by what he heard.

Jiang Jinjiu also shrugged his shoulders with a wry smile.
