Chapter 6: The Real "First Mission"
On this night, Dave's boss rarely didn't have a "midnight singing", and early the next morning, he just hung his voice and sang two high-pitched notes that didn't exceed ten minutes - to be honest, compared to his singing, the simple rhythmless treble actually sounded a little less uncomfortable, just like someone was smashing the basin with a hammer and smashing the basin.
After a simple breakfast at the hotel, the "Novice on the Road" adventure team set off again to the Adventurers' Association.
Yesterday's task of finding the cat will definitely not be completed, and they must cancel this task before they can take on the next task.
It's a free assignment to take on and give up, and abandoning the assignment doesn't hurt the credit rating – even if it does, it doesn't matter, because they don't have a credit rating at all.
Coincidentally, they were discussing with the receptionist, aunt, what would be a more reliable task, when Glass came in.
Compared to yesterday, Grass is in much better spirits today, and his face is even shiny. It was clear that he had found work on the docks yesterday and made money, and he should have had enough for dinner and breakfast.
Sure enough, as soon as Glass saw everyone, he enthusiastically offered to invite them to lunch, and then he told the president of the association that he was not going to be an adventurer.
The one-legged president was a little surprised and asked why. Glass replied, "I have been an adventurer, and I have been busy all day, and I have not earned a single copper." But I ran to the dock to unload people, and I earned three or four silver coins in half a day. It seems that I am still suitable for hard work, and I am not suitable for using my brain. ”
The president stared at him blankly, deeply shocked by these words.
A druid with a high level actually wants to go to the dock to work as a porter?
Is there something wrong with his ears? Or is there something wrong with the world?
"Either you're crazy or I'm crazy......," he muttered, taking the adventurer's badge from Glass, pressing the simple magic item on the special magic crystal, erasing the credit history inside, and returning the deposit, two silver coins.
"I'll be here again at noon, if you have time, come over, I'll have a treat!" Glass explained to the pandas, and happily walked out of the Adventurers' Guild, leaving only the sighing crowd in the guild.
"This lad...... It will definitely become a big thing in the future!" After a while, the receptionist's aunt sighed in a low voice, "I have seen a lot of adventurers, and they are so poor that they can't eat and still cling to the face of adventurers, and finally degenerate into criminals abound, but it is the first time I have encountered someone who can throw away his identity as an adventurer and become a porter." ”
"He's not even an adventurer, what else can he do?" said the guild unhappily.
"He's still young, and the future is likely. ”
Next, the two bigwigs of the Adventurers' Association had a detailed discussion, and if they were all recorded, they might need to print a few sheets of A4 paper in five-point characters, but the result was not surprising, and neither of them could convince anyone.
Because of their debate, Panda and his apprentices watched a good show and heard a lot of interesting rumors, and Panda even found that his "Rumors of the Country" skill had greatly increased, and maybe he could level up with a little more experience points.
This skill allows traversers to directly obtain some information about people and things when they don't have information. The higher the skill, the more intelligence you get. Because of the Raiders group, most traversers don't invest even a little bit of experience in this skill, but just let it grow naturally as they travel and adventure.
The same is true for Panda, at present, his skill is not even at the level of a 10-level expert, which is somewhat lacking for an adventure team leader.
So he pondered it for a while, put in some experience points, and took this skill to the expert level.
"Expert" may sound awesome, but it's actually not like that at all. The so-called "experts" are also divided into three, six, nine and so on, and the difference between experts in legendary skills and experts in basic skills is like a moat.
It is rumored in the countryside that it is a basic skill, let alone being promoted to the expert level, even if it is promoted to the master level or even the grandmaster level, it is useless.
Of course, no matter how low-level the skill is, as long as the level is high enough, it is still very powerful. When I first played the game, someone once upgraded this skill to the mythical level above the legendary level, and the effect was very good, and every time I searched for information, I could get a lot of useful and useless ones, most of which were repeated - that person's game ID was called harmony, and he was currently acting as a humanoid computer in the guild castle library, responsible for producing various data books, and providing remote intelligence support to other traversers, which earned him the nickname "Brother Gu".
The expert-level rural rumor skills allowed the panda to finally get rid of the dilemma of being blind when facing the adventurer's mission, and could only rely on mission intelligence and Gu Ge's remote support. For example, this skill will be very useful for the next mission.
Hunt down criminals.
Because of the war, a large number of soldiers and decent adventurers went to the Norma Line, leaving the rear empty. Many villains who didn't dare to be strange jumped out one after another and made waves.
These criminals may not have any great skills - if they do, they will definitely not jump out so early, at least they have to observe the situation for a while and then decide what to do. But these criminals who have no great skills have already formed a huge threat to ordinary civilians.
For example, the one that the "Novice on the Road" adventure team is going to hunt down today.
This guy was originally a painter, and God knows why, stabbed the hotel waiter to death, and then escaped from the city before the matter was revealed. Originally, the pursuit of such criminals was supposed to be carried out by the guards of Pollock City, but because of the war, the soldiers in the city were transferred to the front line, and the rest really did not have the manpower to chase the murderers, so they had to be left to the adventurers.
A mere painter is certainly not worth letting those veteran adventurers sell. Although the novice road team looks poor, there are at least three men, led by an orc, and in the face of such a guy who has just turned from a civilian to a murderer, at least there is no problem with safety.
After accepting the task, the panda set off from the south gate with his apprentices and hurriedly ran into the distance.
According to the mission information, the painter went out from the south gate, and the guards at the city gate saw him go up the bridge, and they didn't know how far he went.
So the first thing they have to do is to determine whether this guy is running for his life on the road, or is he fleeing into the nearby mountains and forests?
In fact, the most suitable person to solve this problem is Glass, whose dog is very intelligent and has a keen sense of smell at a glance, which is suitable for this task.
However, although pandas do not have dogs, they also have a substitute.
...... Pandas themselves.
