Anyway, he understands now, as long as it is a mission world controlled by the ST platform, don't think about plundering resources from here, the so-called food crisis actually only happens in the Chaos Base, or more precisely, it happens to a low-level hunting group like Ximu Town. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Is there really a shortage of food on the ST platform?

Not necessarily.

Therefore, Mu Shaoan roughly guessed that whether it is the ST platform or the chaos base, there is actually a structure similar to that of the economic circle, and food is just a branch economy in this economic circle.

Sometimes it can be an invisible weapon, or suppression, or threat, or inducement, or that's probably what it is.

Mu Shao'an didn't buy any food, because he didn't have copper dinars, and if he paid for it with Chaos Gold or Silver Dinars, those poor farmers probably wouldn't be able to make change at all, not to mention that for them, this Chaos Gold Coin might give them a calamity.

So in the end, Mu Shao'an just walked into the only tavern in the fortress of Terra Town.

In fact, you don't need to imagine it, but you can probably describe the environment of this tavern, which is simply different from the Sleeping Giant Inn in Ximu Town.

The first thing you feel when you walk in is that it's dim and narrow.

And then the second feeling is that this place is more like a fortress, especially the distance from the entrance, it is more like a tightly sealed prison, and in it, it is easy to worry about being blocked at the door.

Looks like the tavern owner is very insecure.

But there are still bright spots in this tavern, at least for Mu Shao'an, because he saw five mercenaries waiting to be hired, judging from the fact that they were wearing leather armor and carrying a hunting crossbow on their backs, they should be the cannon fodder mercenaries ranked last in the Pande Continent, mercenary sentinels promoted by the mob elite, in other words, this is the armed strengthened version of the peasant uncle.

Of course, if this class continues to upgrade, it can be upgraded to professional infantry or hired armored crossbowmen, which can be regarded as a relatively economical and good cannon fodder warrior.

It's a pity that Mu Shao'an's current pre-task is that he can't rely on anyone's strength, not even a mercenary, so he can only face it alone.

In addition to the five mercenary sentinels, there were four or five drinkers in the tavern, two of whom were apparently Fields Guards from the Terratown Fortress, a drunken drunkard, and finally two merchant-looking guys, hiding in a dimly lit corner.

His eyes quickly swept around, and Mu Shaoan stepped forward and came to the dark and dirty tavern counter, the owner of the tavern was a middle-aged woman who was a little fat but still sexy, well, why did you describe it like that?

"Mr. Mercenary, would you like a big glass of dark beer to cool off?" asked the proprietress with a wink of warmth.

Of course, Mu Shaoan would not understand that the other party was flirting, in fact, in many mission worlds, the owner of the tavern was a guy with a very good background.

The main thing is that the other party can provide you with a lot of information, or give your information to others in the blink of an eye.

"Why not? I think I'd need some delicious food if I could. ”

Mu Shao'an said with a smile, and his gaze deliberately stayed greedily on the other party's two tall peaks for three seconds, of course, all this was just for the sake of going through the motions, just like although he had no appetite at the moment, he also had to have a large glass of dark beer and some food as usual.

Sure enough, the proprietress winked happily, then turned around and brought Mu Shaoan a large piece of black bread, plus a small piece of cheese, and most importantly, two small salted fish.

"Courtesy of patronage, 6 silver dinars. The hostess smiled.

This price is several times higher than that of the outside.

And at this time, Mu Shaoan quietly took out a chaos gold coin, touched the right hand of the proprietress with a smile, and put the chaos gold coin in it while rubbing it, ensuring that no one found it, but I think the proprietress understands this kind of rule.

Buy information, if anyone stupidly comes in and asks the proprietress what important information do you have? I want to buy it, that's the real idiot, don't you see that there are two Fieldsway border guards sitting in this tavern?

Or even without these two border guards, such a method of finding out information is absolutely stupid.

These indiscriminate Taoism, Mu Shaoan is very skillful.

Next, the proprietress really smiled like a flower, laughed and scolded angrily, and there was no follow-up.

Mu Shao'an didn't think it either, and with the big rough wooden plate with the food and the big glass of dark beer, he found an empty seat and sat down, not far from the five mercenary sentries, and then he shook off his cheeks and began to chew heavily, although theoretically he had no appetite at all.

Nothing happened during this time, but the five mercenary sentries looked at Mu Shao'an's food with greedy eyes, and it seemed that they were in a miserable mix.

When Mu Shaoan finished drinking a large glass of dark beer, he began to shout loudly for the proprietress to have another drink, at this time, the proprietress personally walked out of the counter and brought out a large glass of dark beer for him, the whole process seemed to have no flaws, but in fact, a lot of information had quickly emerged in his mind.

That's right, this is the information he wants to buy, there are six or seven mercenary missions in it alone, as well as tasks issued by the lord, etc., with different levels of difficulty.

Mu Shaoan skimmed over all of this, he didn't have the interest or time or energy to complete these low-paying but troublesome mercenary tasks, what he needed was another kind of intelligence information.

For example, there were three of them that he was very interested in.

"No. A-11982, you got a vague message from the tavern proprietress of Terra Town, a caravan from Livingston was attacked near Iron Oak Fort two days ago, this is an extremely terrifying and terrifying event, you must know that these caravans that can cross the five kingdoms usually have a great background, they have strong financial resources, the goods they transport are also extremely valuable, and the mercenary group protected by the group is as strong as ever, but they are still attacked, and it is not known if there are survivors?"

"Number A-11982, you have received a vague message from the Tavern Lady of Terra Town that two days ago, a terrible slave trader had suddenly attacked a merchant ship under the protection of the wind god Hafhigra, so the god seems to be enraged and sent his sacrifice to punish the daring mortal, but as of now, there has been no follow-up information. ”

"Designated A-11982, you have received a vague message from the Tavern Lady of Terra that a cunning bandit seems to be plotting something, but the commander of the Terra Town Fortress scoffs at it, and if you are interested, you can go to some local farmers to find out. ”

――

Among these three pieces of information, except for the second one, which is related to Mu Shao'an himself, the remaining two are all irrelevant at first glance, but in fact, this should represent the situation around the fortress of Terra Town, even if Mu Shao'an is not good at reasoning, it can be seen that near the abandoned Iron Oak Fort, a very powerful military force should have risen, I don't know which force it belongs to?

After a moment's thought, he stood up with food and dark beer, sat down unceremoniously at the wine table where the five mercenary sentries were, and shouted, "Guys, are you interested in making some extra money?"

"You're going to the wilderness? no, we're not going to venture there!"

A mercenary sentry refused without saying a word, there is no doubt that because of the pre-task, within the three-day mission period, Mu Shaoan could not hire any mercenaries at all.

However, his plan was not to find cannon fodder to reduce the difficulty of the pre-task, let alone to play any earth-shattering things, he was just interested in the last piece of information provided by the boss lady.

And the side quests extended by this information may provide some help for Mu Shaoan's pre-tasks.

That's right, although he dared to do this task single-handedly, it didn't mean that he didn't even need to collect intelligence in the early stage, knowing himself and knowing his opponent was the most basic condition.

Now those rogue knights are hiding in the wilderness of the war buffer zone, if there is only one of them, it would be easy to say, but the problem is, there are more than a dozen evil forces in such a large war buffer zone, and he rushed into it with such a hot head, who knows which side he will encounter first?

So you have to get the information out.

However, this kind of accurate information cannot be found from the tavern proprietress here, and it is even more impossible for the ST platform to give him guidance, so naturally, Mu Shaoan must first find a guy who is familiar with the war buffer zone and the wilderness to torture.

And who should be this target?

Of course, it's the cunning bandits who are planning some kind of conspiracy.

The goal of these bandits' conspiracy should not be large, otherwise the commander of the fortress of Terra Town would not have scoffed at it, and this conspiracy needs to be asked to the peasants to find out, so the task itself is equivalent to reducing the coercion.

It's not that I look down on Uncle Farmer, but in this mission world, farmers are really the bottom.

A group of thieves who are planning to calculate the peasant uncle, just think about how small and pitiful they are, and the Red Brotherhood of Thieves is more beautiful than them.

"Hehe, I'm not going to go to the wilderness, actually, I'm dealing with a bunch of poor bandits, well, you should know what I'm talking about, right?"

Mu Shaoan smiled slightly, he believed that this news should not be very advanced, in fact, at this moment, there should be a certain peasant with a bitter face who is asking for help everywhere in the fortress of Terra Town.

Sure enough, when they heard this, the five mercenary sentries all showed relieved expressions, and the mercenary sentry who spoke before couldn't help but mock: " If you're referring to the hillbillies in Gerray who are so poor that they are left with straw sandals, then of course we know what you're talking about, haha, it's almost a joke in Terra, but with all due respect, the hillbillies don't pay any money, and the cunning thieves are known to be so poor that they wouldn't have taken a fancy to the poor farmers, sir, would you be willing to generously give all your dinars to fight for a bunch of strange poor devils?
