It's early autumn, and the morning air is slightly cooler.

On a small road in the northern suburbs of Huangzhou City, a young man dressed in a light blue coat was rushing from a village in the far suburbs to the suburbs. I saw him staggering and walking, constantly looking around.

Three days ago, Bian Yao came to Huangzhou City with a group of travelers, and yesterday he had just rented a room in a small village on the northern outskirts of the Imperial City, which he would use as his future residence.

In fact, Bian Yao originally wanted to find a place to live in the southern suburbs, because it was relatively close to He Qingyin. But then he was worried that he would not be able to resist running to her, so in the end, he ran to the northern outskirts of the imperial city.

However, the sleeping place is solved, and it is not really settled. So, according to the plan made by the night corpse, Bian Yao decided to find something to do. It is possible to earn money and be self-sufficient, and to increase experience and insight.

The last time I came to Huangzhou City with the night corpse, I chose to go in the dark, and I hadn't even been to the suburbs, let alone entered the Imperial City. Within the high city walls, it can be regarded as the real prosperity of Huangzhou City. Today, Bian Yao plans to go into the imperial city to have a look.

While walking, I felt the freshness brought by the unfamiliar environment.

The road is not wide, there are some trees on the left, and there is a shallow ditch on the right, and people can be seen lying in it and sleeping at every other point. Further to the right is a field with coarse grain debris peculiar to some places, and at this moment there are sparse figures working in the fields.

After turning a corner, Bian Yao saw a young man staggering towards him, followed by a ghostly child. He hadn't gone far before the young man suddenly fell to the ground and fell asleep, and when the child who followed him saw it, he ran forward with a happy face and began to rummage through the young man's pocket.

Bian Yao was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and smiled, and continued to move forward. He suddenly thought of himself a few years ago, when he was doing this kind of thing all day. Now, he is an early dreamwalker, and he has the ability to live on his own skills.

Half an hour later, Bian Yao came to the northern outskirts of the city, which was a very densely populated area of houses and population. The suburbs of the Imperial City are the main areas of movement for all kinds of idle people and criminals. As for the Imperial City, because there are so many guards patrolling the city, ordinary people dare not do illegal things in the city.

The promenade on the outskirts of the city is very wide, lined with inns, shops and restaurants, all of which are run by very small forces or private individuals.

Soon after the morning sun rises, there are all kinds of vendors on the wide road, pedestrians and tourists come and go, bustling, all kinds of rare birds and animals are also occasionally seen.

"Purchase all kinds of strange spirit fruits and spirit grass~! The price is fair!" At the fork in the road, a dark-skinned middle-aged man sat on the back of an "elephant beast" and shouted at the top of his voice.

"Who wants 'Nanlin Red Deer'? I just caught it last night, and I only exchange it for five hundred Bixiang Fruits~!" Three young men with tired faces dragged an iron cage cart with a red-haired monster deer locked in it, and they were selling along the way.

Bian Yao's head kept turning, and the constant shouts everywhere always aroused his curiosity. There were a lot of things here that he had never encountered in his time in Cave City.

Originally, the cave city that was already very large and lively in his opinion, if it was compared to Huangzhou City, it was simply not worth mentioning.

In this regard, Bian Yao can easily figure it out. After all, Huangzhou City is both a state city and the imperial capital of the Dream Country, so it is naturally far beyond other places everywhere, and it is normal to have differences.

Although he was curious, Bian Yao did not forget his purpose, so while looking around, his footsteps did not stop.

Bian Yao walked in the suburbs for an hour, and then he saw the red city wall from a distance, and the avenue leading to the north city gate was full of pedestrians like ants.

After a stick of incense, Bian Yao finally came to the tall and majestic city gate, the two open gates, the height and width of which were more than ten zhang! On the inside and outside of the gate, dozens of guards of different colors stood or wandered, their faces full of murderous intent.

Bian Yao's heart was pounding, and he couldn't help but be a little nervous. Although he entered the city this time to find something to do, deep down he had a plan to go against the grain, even if he hadn't put it into action yet. However, his face did not show anything abnormal, and he naturally followed the crowd through the city gate smoothly and entered the imperial city.

After entering the city, I didn't go far, and the border was a little foul. His eyes were full of tall buildings, endless crowds, and those criss-crossing wide roads, which made him a little overwhelmed when he was alone.

Fortunately, the book left by the night corpse had any information in it, Bian Yao recalled it for a while, and after recognizing the general direction, he followed the main road in the north-south direction to the seventh intersection, and walked half a mile to the right, and finally found the destination of this trip.

Bian Yao stood at the gate where his figures kept coming in and out, and looked up at the five purple and gold characters on the lintel - "Peace Command Hall".

In fact, every city has a "Hall of Destiny", which is a place where various quests and bounties are issued. In order to establish such an organization, there are two necessary conditions: first, you must have at least one Dream Venerable, and second, you must be able to come up with at least 100 million Fragrant Fruit or 1 billion Dream Coins.

In the Dream Country, there are two most powerful "Destiny Halls", one is established by the imperial family, and the other is formed by the Scattered Cultivation Alliance. The rest were established by the joint efforts of some local forces or families.

The weak "Destiny Hall" chosen by Bian Yao was jointly established by several forces. In Huangzhou City, including the two most powerful, there are a total of seven "Destiny Halls", which belong to different forces.

Bian Yao stepped over a bluestone threshold and entered the hall, which was a building space large enough to accommodate a thousand people. Although it is not crowded, it is also very lively when people enter and exit.

The hall is divided into three compartments, the low-level mission area, the intermediate mission area, and the advanced mission area, which are divided according to the difficulty value or danger of the mission.

All missions in the Hall of Destiny have a number of values added to them, up to a maximum of 10 stars.

A difficulty between one and three stars is a low-level task, mainly for dreamwalkers, a dream maniac is a medium-difficulty task with a difficulty value between four and six stars, and seven to nine stars is called a dangerous task, which is usually only accepted by dream cultivators who are above the dream king realm. As for the task with a danger of ten stars, it is generally a bounty order! Often only Mengzun dares to accept it, of course! Occasionally, there will be a bounty order that even Mengzun does not dare to accept.

Bian Yao figured out where he was going at a glance, and the most people were naturally in the low-level mission area, and there were relatively few people in the middle-level mission area, and as for the high-level area, there were less than ten people.

Walking into the low-level mission area, Bian Yao found that in the center of the clearing, there were three tall stone platforms erected at intervals, and on each stone platform was placed a piece of calligraphy, on which were engraved with one star, two stars, and three stars. Each of the high platforms was surrounded by people.

Bian Yao walked to a high platform on the far left, on which the book was engraved with only a star, which meant that the task inside was suitable for beginner dreamwalkers. There are various quest information in the book, and practitioners who want to take on the task only need to probe their consciousness into it and choose for themselves.

Bian Yao stopped at the outskirts of the crowd and closed his eyes, channeling his consciousness into the book on the high platform.

There are many types of tasks, and there are all kinds of them. For example, if the son of a wealthy family wants to find a sparring partner, the requirements are that she is a woman, not old, and has a good appearance;

Bian Yao looked inside and chose a relatively simple and easy task, which was to transport a batch of goods to the "Light Wind City".

After opening his eyes and exiting the crowd, Bian Yao came to a long stone case, behind which sat a row of people, who were responsible for registration tasks and other related matters.

After waiting in line for a while, it was Bian Yao's turn, and it was a young woman who was in charge of registration.

"Please enter your gender, age, residence, cultivation realm, and chosen tasks into this book. The young woman said, gesturing to the book on the desk.

Bian Yao's mind moved slightly, and he entered all the information into the book.

"One hundred dream coins or ten spice fruits. The young woman said with a smile on her face, and at the same time handed Bian Yao a special small wooden sign,

Bian Yao took the wooden card, took out the coins that had been prepared, and threw them into a special box with an opening above, and then turned to leave.

Walking on the road, Bian Yao curiously played with the small wooden card, which recorded some simple information, which can also be regarded as some kind of certificate.

Bian Yao had already checked that this delivery task would start at noon tomorrow, and he would need to rush to the western outskirts of Huangzhou City, at the intersection of the center of a small town called Fanchuan. Employers and consignees will be waiting there.

By this time, it was already early afternoon.

Bian Yao silently walked on the streets of the imperial city, from time to time he raised his eyes and swept over the cars and pedestrians on the opposite side, as well as the restaurants and shops on both sides of the road.

Alone since childhood, he finally spent a few years with someone, but he had to start a lonely life. Although it has been more than a month since he returned to being alone, he still hasn't been able to fully regain the taste.

Fortunately, I don't know if it's caused by childhood, or if it's innate, for those things that will make you unhappy, Bian Yao can easily think about it. After a lonely walk, he suddenly smelled a strange fragrance, and his eyebrows suddenly welled up with joy.

At the corner of the street ahead, an old man with white hair and silver beard carrying a small burden was parked there, and several children stood next to him, all looking greedy.

Bian Yao found that the fragrance was wafting out of the box, so he quickly approached, and then stopped at the side.

The old man took out a bamboo skewer from the box, then folded it into two sections, and then took out a metal box from the inside of the box, and when he opened the lid, he could see that it contained a solidified substance, which was dark yellow. I saw the old man digging a few times with a bamboo stick, and the bamboo stick was stuck with a small ball, and then he held two bamboo sticks and twisted them a few times, and the original yellow became a little white. In this way, the old man got one for each of the children.

Bian Yao was very greedy, he could smell the sweet fragrance, and finally opened his mouth to buy a little.

"Two Dream Coins. The old man smiled and handed the bamboo stick to Bian Yao, although the voice was full of vicissitudes, it was very pleasant to listen to.

Bian Yao learned from the old man that this thing was called "maltose". He happily paid the old man two dream coins, and then took the bamboo stick.

"It's delicious~!" Bian Yao took a small bite and couldn't help but mutter.

With a full face of joy, Bian Yao left happily, and the sweet and delicious taste filled his heart.
