Chapter 41: So he embarked on the road of no return for the mercenaries
Su Wen always felt that the system's daily tasks were really humane enough: no matter where he was, it could publish tasks of even difficulty just right, without making it too easy for him to complete, nor greatly affecting the original plan or not being able to complete it at all. For example www.biquge.info Su Wen planned to go out to run errands today, and the system intimately arranged the daily tasks that needed to be completed outdoors.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully receiving the daily task, today's daily task is: the whole body is soaked and you are outdoors for more than 5 hours, and staying in the same place for a long time will affect the degree of completion. Difficulty: Easy, Reward: [Unknown] Exchange Points, 1 Mental Toughness. ”
Fortunately, it's just wet, and it doesn't have to be regarded as an out-and-out pervert.
After Su Wen saw the task, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Compared to those tasks that have no lower limit at the moment, this one is actually relatively soft, and although it is also extremely eye-catching, it can at least gain some sympathy and not all contempt.
In fact, the humanization of daily tasks is the reason why Su Wen plans to take advantage of the three-month vacation to 'go on a tour'. It wasn't his plan to stay in town like he was now - his plan was to spend all the time in the middle of nowhere, except to buy supplies along the way. In that way, no matter how terrible the task released by the system is, at least it will not have to be completed at the cost of being named a metamorphosis by the surrounding creatures, which is also the bottom line that Su Wen can accept.
Because of this, Su Wen never took Laetitia with him as part of his plan, even if this half-elf maid didn't hate him so much, he would be separated from her for a while for her safety.
After all, compared to the city, the wild is a little more dangerous.
It seemed necessary to find a time to talk to her openly and openly.
Thinking so, Su Wen stood in the courtyard of the temporary residence, lifted a whole bucket of water, and poured it down from the top of his head, and suddenly felt extremely refreshed.
"I'm out on the door, Laetitia. ”
Suwen, who was drenched, turned around and waved enthusiastically at Laetitia, who had appeared behind the window on the second floor and then stared at him coldly, and left the house dripping wet.
And for this strange behavior, which has long become an ordinary day, Laetitia didn't even bother to ask what happened.
......
Autumn in the Duolun Empire came exceptionally early, and when the northern countries were still enjoying the hot summer, there was already a bit of autumn feeling here. The sky was full of clouds, and there was not even the slightest trace of the sun, but it didn't seem to be planning to rain, which was a good weather for most people, but it was not so good for Su Wen: the cool autumn wind blew on the soaked clothes, and the sticky touch and icy temperature were not pleasant. In addition, the strange gazes of pedestrians on the road were unsurprisingly mostly focused on him, but as a 'skill-level pervert' who had long been accustomed to this kind of gaze, this kind of thing was secondary.
However, consider that the system requires you to 'stay' wet for 5 hours, and if you are sun-dried in advance, you will inevitably have to take a cold shower again.
So Su Wen's heart was a little more balanced.
Walking on the wide street of Red Maple Town without others, Su Wen found that the representative maple trees on the side of the road were blooming luxuriantly, and the green and yellow leaves were very beautiful. The Duolun Empire is not the origin of maple trees, and God knows how the people of Red Maple Town transplanted so many maple trees and cultivated them so well.
But Su Wen's gaze didn't stay on the maple tree for long, and he began to make plans for this outing.
The first thing to solve is the economic problem, with the black card that Donald left in him, the gold coins are not to worry about at all, and the original plan to do some small tasks to support himself does not seem to be necessary. If, just if, Donald actually cheated on his father to make a fuss even on this black card, then it is better to prepare for the worst in advance, and obediently go to the mercenary union to find something to do while making friends.
After a full five days, everything was still calm, and he had never told Shirley where he was going, so the other party may not have found his trace. Su Wen preferred to believe that this terrible female creature was only temporarily "interested" in herself as she was in the guinea pig, and did not take herself too seriously—because when you think about it, there really is nothing worth looking for in herself.
As for the identity of the traverser and the open-minded pit system, the latter clearly told Su Wen that no one knew these two things, otherwise Su Wen would not have a deep friendship with a strong and perverted character like Donald.
Well, that's right, the system speaks. Su Wen seriously doubted that it could even think like a creature, but until now, he had no way to confirm this suspicion except for a few words outside the set range.
With this suspicion, Su Wen walked into the only bank in the center of Hongfeng Town, and then handed the black card to the young receptionist behind the iron window amid the strange eyes of the surroundings.
There are only two banks in the Duolun Empire, and that is the 'Supreme Bank of the Duolun Empire' and the 'Citizens Bank of the Duolun Empire'. Both banks are state-owned institutions and have a complete monopoly on the banking sector of the entire country. In fact, judging from the information he got in the library, Su Wen thought that the two banks were actually the same, but they had to make a little competition to keep them from corrupt, so the king would make this decision.
The black card in Su Wen's hand was issued by the highest bank of the Duolun Empire, and when the receptionist saw this card full of magical energy, the slightly disdainful gaze of the wet man in front of him directly made a 180-degree turn.
He hurriedly called the bank president in the background, who respectfully invited Su Wen to the VIP area on the second floor.
"Ahem, I guess it's better to stand......"
Hearing that the gorgeously dressed fat man in front of him eagerly invited him to sit on the sofa, Su Wen looked down at the soaking up and down of his body, but still refused this kindness.
"I'm here to withdraw money, but it's not much, 500 gold coins are enough. ”
With the black card as a façade, even the lowliest beggars and alien slaves would be treated like VIPs, so the fat governor didn't have any more nonsense at all, and neatly handled the withdrawal procedures for Su Wen. Donald didn't do anything with the gold coins this time, so the whole process went very smoothly. Su Wen asked the bank president to separate the gold coins, and when he got two heavy gold silk money bags of different sizes with his own hands, he couldn't believe that it was so easy......
Five hundred gold coins are equivalent to a year's salary of a low-level citizen, enough for Su Wen to live for a long time.
He was not greedy enough to take out all the 20,000 gold coins, it was one thing to take them or not, so many gold coins were meaningless to himself who was preparing to stay away from the crowd, but there was a possibility of extraneous branches.
After leaving the bank, Su Wen's next stop is, of course, the mercenary union. Even if you don't need to work hard to make money, it is only a matter of time before you have the status of a mercenary, and Su Wen did not give up this plan.
As a cultural icon, the Mercenary Guild is so widely distributed throughout the Duolun Empire that it can be easily found in everything from the imperial capital to the slightly larger villages. In times of war, it was used as one of the sources of soldiers for the army, and it was also a good place to exchange lives for money, but now, far from the smoke of war for more than 100 years, in Su Wen's eyes, it has become a kind of place similar to the human resources market, when employers need manpower, such as harvesting farmland, carrying goods, fighting in groups, or simply bored and wanting to chat with someone, they often come here to post tasks and lead people. Of course, this situation is only for those low-level mercenaries at the bronze and silver level, and the living environment of the more advanced mercenaries has not changed much at any time, and there are always dangerous tasks waiting for them.
And in the mercenary, an organization can naturally be formed, and this kind of organization is the mercenary group.
The practice of huddling together for warmth will indeed give low-level mercenaries the ability to complete more difficult tasks, and those small mercenary groups composed of high-level elites have a strong strength in the army's battle formation, and it is not too much to say that they are invincible.
However, for that kind of group, it is impossible for Su Wen to join even if he wants to.
Compared to the real powerhouses on the mainland, he is too weak.
There is also a kind of mercenary group that is similar to the "Black Beast Mercenary Group" that James joined, although Su Wen did not carefully understand the details of this mercenary group, but it can be mixed to the extent that there are sub-groups in many parts of the country, then at least there are hundreds or thousands of people. This kind of mercenary group is more like a large guild, with a clear and clear division of labor and hierarchy, even if it is a beginner, if it is introduced into the mercenary group, it can find a suitable position, so it is indeed an excellent choice for those who want to become mercenaries. James's invitation to Su Wen did treat him as a friend, and if it weren't for his own plans, Su Wen might have seriously considered this path.
In addition to being much smaller in size, the atmosphere of the mercenary guild in Red Maple Town is not fundamentally different from that of Tritis City. There is still a month before the autumn harvest season, so the business here is not very good, and the solicitation behavior of low-level mercenaries can be seen everywhere, even if Su Wen looks extremely wet and strange, but when he enters the mercenary hall, there are still two or three big men surrounding him, with a sincere smile on his face.
"This is a strong mercenary in the bronze section, do you need help with any difficulties?"
"Professional-grade Hercules, eat less and do much more, I will definitely regret it if I don't invite him!"
"Just two gold coins, I'll do it with you for a day!"
......
Not to mention the strange words spoken by the farmer who had obviously just finished his farm work at the end, Su Wen missed the pretender robe that automatically isolated his troubles. It was not easy for him to get rid of this group of mercenaries who were enthusiastic about soliciting customers, and came to the application office of the mercenary union in Red Maple Town.
"Hello, I'm here to apply to become a mercenary. ”
When Su Wen handed over his citizenship card, he also stuffed the small money bag into it.
"Tridis citizenship card, this is Red Maple Town, according to the regulations, you should go back to the place where the citizenship card was issued...... Okay, I see, no problem. ”
Perhaps sensing the heavy weight in the money bag, the middle-aged mercenary administrator naturally changed his tune.
