Chapter 34: Ling Xuan
, Chapter 34 Ling Xuan
Ling Xuan is 25 years old. This book is from.
When she joined the Mission Hall three years ago, she was just a most ordinary staff member.
And now, with her natural affinity, beautiful appearance and jīng quasi-vision, she has become the second-level supervisor of the mission hall of Medin City, in charge of the most important magic pattern area.
Today is the most important, exciting, and nervous day for Ling Xuan in the three years of working in the Mission Hall.
A week ago, she learned from a well-informed friend in Mani City that a mercenary who might have the strength of a three-pole magic pattern master would arrive in Medin City today to "clear the snow".
The so-called "snow clearing" refers to some high-level mercenaries with outstanding abilities, who receive a large number of low-level tasks in their areas of expertise in a certain mission hall and solve them in a centralized manner, so as to obtain task rewards and points.
According to the rules of the mission hall, low-level mercenaries cannot take on high-level missions. There is no restriction on high-level mercenaries taking on low-level tasks. This is the recognition and respect of the mission hall for high-level mercenaries, and it is also the common law in this world that admires the strong. If you have a high rank, you should have privileges that ordinary people do not have, and no one has any reason to blame anything for this.
However, in reality, it is actually rare for high-level mercenaries to compete with low-level mercenaries for tasks.
For high-level mercenaries, the rewards and points for low-level missions are like a tower of sand compared to their promotion requirements. Not to mention the meager remuneration and low scores, it is also particularly cumbersome. Therefore, most of them like to take on tasks that are comparable to their own abilities and have more points and rewards.
This is especially true of the special profession of the Demon Tattooer. A primary Magic Pattern Diagram requires hundreds of Devil Patterns, while an Intermediate Devil Pattern Diagram with only two or three times more power and time than the Elementary Devil Pattern Diagram will receive dozens or hundreds of times more rewards and points than the Elementary Devil Pattern Diagram.
Therefore, while the low-level tasks in other zones are swept away by some mercenaries who are in dire need of a small amount of points every once in a while, many of the more difficult or low-level tasks in the Demonic Zone are released for a month, and no one even takes on them until the mission deadline has passed.
Those who can complete it are disdainful of receiving it, and those who want to receive it can't complete it, which is the most embarrassing part of the Demon Pattern Zone.
And for Ling Xuan, who was in charge of the Demon Pattern Zone, this was even more of a torture.
The performance appraisal of the task hall depends on the completion of the task. The unfinished mission is just a pool of stagnant water on the magic screen. Only when this task is completed, the process is considered to be over, the mission hall can collect fees from it, and the staff can also earn a certain number of performance points from it.
In the past three years of work, the first year and a half, Ling Xuan worked in the Warcraft area.
There, she was promoted from an ordinary staff member to a first-class supervisor for half a year. It took a year to be promoted from first-level supervisor to second-level supervisor.
Just when she was full of ambition to tell her friends that she was about to rush to the head of the three poles in two years, she was transferred from the Warcraft area to the Demon Pattern area. In the blink of an eye, a year and a half have passed since the two-year goal, and her performance is still stagnant, far from reaching the standard of the three-pole supervisor.
The reason why this situation occurred, Ling Xuan knew it.
Where there are people, there is strife. Mission Hall is no exception. Ever since she entered the mission hall of Edin City, she has aroused the jealousy and resentment of many people because of her work ability and beautiful appearance. Among them, the most contradictory to her is the nephew of a fourth-level supervisor, Shirley.
Shirley is the kind of person who always wants the whole world to revolve around her, and people who are more beautiful and capable than her are simply excluded in every way for no reason.
At the beginning, Ling Xuan did a good job in the Warcraft Zone, but because of Shirley's eyes, she was promoted quickly, so her uncle took advantage of the authority allowed within the rules to transfer Ling Xuan to the Demonic Zone.
This trick is quite vicious.
In the level of the mission hall, the level of the Demon Pattern Zone is much higher than that of the Warcraft Zone, and the performance is also fast. If ordinary people want to squeeze into the magic pattern area of the mission hall in the big city, in addition to ability, they also need to have a lot of luck.
But the city of Medin is different.
You must know that Meiding City, which relies on the mountains to eat the mountains, originally relied on the proximity to the Warcraft Mountain Range to prosper. Therefore, the Warcraft Zone has always been the main business pillar of the Mission Hall in Edin City.
As for the Demon Pattern Zone, because there are not a few Demon Pattern Masters in this small southwestern city, both the task release and the completion are pitiful, and it is known as the cold palace of the Mission Hall of Meiding City. ..., this hand was promoted and secretly degraded, not only did Ling Xuan, who had just been promoted at that time, almost resign in anger, but even other colleagues in the mission hall were upset with her.
However, the refusal to admit defeat made Ling Xuan persevere.
Through her unremitting efforts, the Demon Pattern Zone gradually became a little more vibrant. There are more people who post tasks, and there are seven or eight magicians who come here regularly to take over tasks. Although these Demon Pattern Masters were all proud and mysterious, Ling Xuan still maintained some kind of tacit understanding with them in his own way.
And with the outbreak of war, more and more people gathered in the city of Medin. The demand for demonic armor, demonic weapons, and various demonic products has also begun to skyrocket.
This made Ling Xuan, who had been working hard for a year and a half, finally see a little hope
At this moment, she was almost eagerly waiting for the arrival of the Demon Pattern Master who had come to clear the snow.
She didn't know the identity of the Magician. Except for knowing that the other party is a man and the mercenary mark is a flamingo, he doesn't know his appearance or age.
However, according to the friend who gave her the news, this Mr. Flamingo is also a little famous in Mani City. The primary magic pattern is not a problem at all, and the intermediate magic pattern is also very good. It was only because his mentor asked him to further hone his low-level demon-painting skills that he went south to Bronon County to clear the snow.
Such an opportunity is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
In order to welcome this distinguished guest, she had already made all preparations - a quiet room, a complete set of painting supplies, a detailed list of tasks, rewards and points, beautiful food, and comfortable accommodation.
Even in order for this guest to have more options for tasks, she also dug up some overdue tasks, visited the task publishers one by one, and asked them to republish them.
Ling Xuan didn't expect to rely on this guest to be promoted to the head of the three poles, she just wanted Shirley and those people to see, even if she was sent to the cold palace of the Demon Pattern Zone, she never became depressed
When Roy walked into the Demon Pattern Zone, Ling Xuan and the Demon Pattern Master who was going through the formalities of the Demon Pattern Studio were a little stunned.
"This is the Three-Pole Pattern Master you've been looking forward to for a week?" Baker, a first-level Pattern Master, is the only resident Pattern Master in Medin City. He is already very familiar with Ling Xuan. As soon as he saw Roy, who was stupid and stupid and broke into the Demon Pattern Zone, he couldn't help but joke with Ling Xuan.
"Go and go in quickly" Ling Xuan pushed him: "If you don't complete five tasks for me today, don't think about it"
"Ling Xuan, I'm also a noble Demon Pattern Master, can't you be polite?" Baker chirped in protest.
"Who told me last time that I could complete ten tasks in a day?" Ling Xuan squinted at the baby-faced Baker angrily: "I deceived me so hard to take on so many tasks and came back, but I couldn't complete it, and I was ridiculed by those guys every day."
Baker shrank his head and said embarrassedly: "I'm not bragging, or I'm not in good shape lately." Don't worry, in less than three months, I will definitely be able to become a second-level magic pattern master. When the time comes, I'll definitely sweep all your tasks before leaving."
"Three months?" Ling Xuan gritted her teeth, "In three months, the Feilie people may all hit Muni City." ”
"Okay, I hope your Three-Pole Demon Pattern Master will come soon. Baker took care of the loss, hurriedly slipped to the work area, glanced at Roy before leaving, and teased: "I think this guy is deeply hidden, hurry up and receive him, maybe he is the noble person of your life."
Ling Xuan glared fiercely at Baker, who had entered the hallway with a wicked smile, and turned his head to meet Roy.
In front of him is a cute-looking big boy, although he is not handsome, and he does not have a very sè temperament, but he feels very kind. In particular, the honest but unusually clean smile on his face can make any NV person can't help but respond to his smile.
However, dressed in the most ordinary linen clothes and holding a freshly registered zero-level mercenary nameplate in his hand, he was obviously in the wrong place.
"Hello, is there anything I can do to help?" Ling Xuan asked with a smile.
It was not uncommon for a newbie to take the wrong path in the mission hall from time to time, and she was no longer surprised. She didn't mind Huā spending ten minutes on Huā to introduce the rookie to the task process and the distribution of the special area in the mission hall, and even led him to the place where the novices picked up the tasks.
"Hello, I would like to apply for a Demon Pattern Studio. Roy handed over his nameplate and the security deposit of ten golden langs according to the rules. While looking at the richly decorated prefectural hall, I secretly admired. ...,
It's just that the Demon Pattern Special Area of a small city is so magnificently decorated, you can imagine how exquisite the life of the Demon Pattern Masters is on weekdays.
"Studio?" Ling Xuan opened her mouth, and after a moment came back to her senses, she said in a continuous voice, "Ah, I'm really sorry, I didn't expect you to be a magic pattern master." ”
She took the nameplate and gold coin from Roy's hand in a bit of a panic, and couldn't help but cry out in her heart.
In the Demon Pattern Zone, there are a total of six Demon Pattern Studios. For a small city like Medin City, it's completely sufficient. Usually there is no one here. Most of the Magicians collect the quest and go home to complete it. Occasionally, it's just two or three studios open at the same time.
But who knows what evil has happened today, it is only early in the morning, plus Baker, who has just entered, five of the six studios have been occupied. The rest of the one was prepared by himself for the three-pole demon pattern master.
"What?" Roy asked curiously, "Is there no studio?"
"No, no, no. Yes, there is. Ling Xuan hurriedly waved her hand incoherently.
According to the rules of the mission hall, unless the three-pole demon master has an exclusive room here, or he comes with the junior mercenary in front of him, he can only arrange the studio in the order of application time.
No matter how much Ling Xuan resented it, there was no way to change it.
"I'm afraid I'll have to ask Baker for help in a moment. Ling Xuan thought to herself, and with a sad face, she registered this guy with a name tag as a lone wolf.
After a few moments, the formalities were already in place.
Seeing the "lone wolf" enter the corridor of the work area, Ling Xuan wanted to speak several times, but he was embarrassed to call him back. After all, it would be a very strict offense to ask someone to leave the studio for your own reasons.
Just as she was feeling sad, suddenly, the light in front of her eyes dimmed.
Raising her head, Shirley, who was dressed in a special way today, was holding her fourth-level supervisor's uncle Justin in one hand and a man in his thirties in the other, looking at her with a smile.
Ling Xuan subconsciously straightened her waist and raised her chin slightly. She didn't think that Shirley, an NV person, would suddenly appear in front of her, and there would be anything good.
"Hi, Ling Xuan. Shirley smiled and waved her hand in greeting, generous and dignified.
"Hello, Shirley. "How Ling Xuan didn't know Shirley's nature, although she never minded showing a small belly of an NV child in front of everyone, but she didn't want to set off Shirley at this time. At the moment, he lowered his long eyelashes slightly, and greeted Justin next to Shirley, and then said, "Is there anything wrong with Mr. Justin, if not, I will go to work." ”
"Miss Ling Xuan, I have specially come to inform you that you have been transferred to the forging area due to work adjustments. Justin, who had a big nose and wore a vassal bōlàng wig, smiled and said, "Shirley will take over here." The transfer application has been handed over to jiāo, and it will take effect in three days, and if you are free, you can move the job to jiāo first. ”
"Transfer?" Ling Xuan was stunned for a moment, and then a wave of anger rushed to the top of her head, and her face turned red with anger.
She has been here for a year and a half, and it seems that the magic pattern area has been taken care of in an orderly manner, and all indicators are rising, who knows, Justin and Shirley, come to pick peaches again. Where in the world is there such a cheap thing
"Mr. Justin, did I do something wrong?" Ling Xuan looked directly into Justin's eyes.
"What's wrong?Ling Xuan, isn't this a normal transfer?" Shirley looked puzzled, "A capable NV kid like you can give full play to your abilities even more when you go to the forging area." Now that there is a war on the front line, there are many people who need weapons and equipment. ”
Saying that, Shirley shook her head with some disappointment, "I didn't expect that Uncle Justin's kindness became a punishment in your eyes, Ling Xuan, you are good at everything, it is the eye of your heart"
Ling Xuan was so angry that she couldn't wait to bite off Shirley's nose.
However, it is useless to bite off the nose of this NV person. Justin, as a fourth-level supervisor, does have the full power to transfer work. You only need to make a report to the top, and after the mission hall of Muni City replies, the matter is a foregone conclusion.
Ling Xuan bit her lip, looking forward to the three-pole demon pattern master coming quickly.
This feeling of pinning your hopes on an unknown stranger is really terrible. But her eyes were already red with grievances, and she felt that she was being bullied like this by Justin and Shirley, which was even worse
Just as Ling Xuan was expressing her anger in silence, Shirley walked up to her, first turned back to the man in his thirties and gave her a shy smile, then spread his hand, handed her a mercenary nameplate, and chuckled: "By the way, please help book a studio in three days." ”
Ling Xuan stared blankly at Shirley's hand.
Shirley's hands are beautiful, but the joints are slightly thick.
Among the slender white fingers together, a mercenary nameplate marked as a flamingo lay quietly.
Ling Xuan's body trembled uncontrollably.
In my ears, Shirley whispered: "I'll let them inform you, hehe, you know, I'm lazy, you can help me finish the preliminary preparations, thank you so much." I'll go back and have dinner. ”。
