Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Bounty Hunters Association
April 25, 736 in the Great Xia calendar, 10 o'clock in the morning.
A four-wheeled carriage stopped at the gate of the Adventure Mercenary Guild in Kansa City. After paying for the carriage, Wen Jiming jumped out of the carriage and walked into the gate of the adventure union.
As soon as he entered the registration hall of the trade union, Wen Jiming saw that the union official who helped him register as a bounty hunter was sitting behind a counter, bowing his head and writing something.
So, without thinking, he walked over to the counter and said hello politely.
"Good day, my friend."
The union official raised his head after hearing this, and when he found out that it was Wen Jiming, he responded very happily.
"Good day, Lord Wen!"
"My personal affairs have been completed, and I am here to take over the task this time."
After that, Wen Jiming put the bounty hunter's badge on the counter.
When the union official saw the badge, he said apologetically.
"Lord Wen, the situation has changed a little now, and the Adventure Guild stopped acting as a bounty hunter two days ago."
Wen Jiming was stunned for a moment and asked in a low voice.
"Is there something wrong with the union?"
The official glanced around, then replied in a low voice.
"You've guessed it right, the union partner who used to be in charge of the bounty hunter section went out on his own. He co-opted bounty hunter organizations from several major continents and formed a bounty hunters' association. ”
"Since he was in charge of all the customers of the bounty hunter tasks in the union before, after he left, the union lost its source of customers and had to stop this business."
"So now you can only go to their Bounty Hunter Guild and register for the mission, I used to have a good union colleague who now works in that guild, you can go to him, I'll write you an address, you wait for me a while."
After the union official finished speaking, he took out a piece of paper, wrote a detailed address on it, and wrote the name of his friend, and handed it to Wen Jiming.
After Wen Jiming took the address, he said gratefully to the union officials.
"Thank you so much, otherwise I wouldn't know where to find this association!"
The union official replied enthusiastically.
"It's okay, it's just a gesture, good luck!"
Wen Jiming, who had run away in vain, had no choice but to walk to the gate of the adventure union, called a carriage again, and went to the address of the bounty hunter association given by the union officials.
Probably because of the haste in which it was prepared, the building of the temporary office of the Bounty Hunters Guild was a bit shabby and very different from that of the Adventure Mercenary Guild.
When Wen Jiming walked into this dilapidated building, he found something different inside.
As soon as you enter the door, there is a hall filled with dozens of tables, each with six chairs next to it, most of which are now occupied.
Interestingly, almost all the people present had wine or drinks in their hands, which almost made Wen Jiming think that he had gone to the wrong place and entered a tavern.
Thankfully, the walls around the hall were plastered with mission notices, reminding him that he wasn't in the wrong place.
It's really interesting, Wen Jiming thought to himself.
This is the first time he has seen an association with such a strong sense of business in another world, and if it is further improved, it can become a club.
Wen Jiming walked through the hall to the counter set up in the innermost part of the hall, and handed the note written by the union official to the association staff behind the counter.
A few minutes later, he was already sitting in front of the person he wanted to see.
The friend of the adventurous union official is a middle-aged man with a rich appearance. said to Wen Jiming with a smile.
"I've heard of you a long time ago, Lord Wen. Everyone says that you are a young and promising person, and it is true when you see it today. ”
"Now that our new Bounty Hunter Guild has a lot of things that haven't been sorted out, we're still continuing to use the previous grading method, where all bounty hunters are graded according to the number of bounties they have received."
"Since you have only registered as a bounty hunter and have not accepted tasks before, and now you can only be considered a junior bounty hunter, do you have any opinion on this."
Wen Jiming shook his head and said.
"I have no objection, everything is handled according to the rules of the association."
"That's good, so I suggest that Lord Wen can do a few simple tasks first, and then do other types when your bounty hunter level comes up."
Wen Jiming humbly asked.
"Do you have any suggestions, which tasks are simpler?"
The middle-aged manager of the wealthy state advised.
"First do some bounty tasks entrusted by customers, it is easier to find people, for example, I have a task of this type in my hand now."
"This is a big businessman who went to a large empire on the Jupiter continent last year to procure it, but was imprisoned by a very powerful local figure and swallowed his goods and money."
"He later found an opportunity by himself, bribed the guards, and escaped by himself, but he can never get back the money he lost, and he offered a reward of 500 gold talon to capture this underworld figure, you can take this task first."
Wen Jiming himself has always been a person who listens to persuasion, so he nodded without hesitation at all.
"Okay, I've taken this task!"
The middle-aged steward was very satisfied with Wen Jiming's neatness.
"Great, I admire someone like Lord Xiang Wen, let me make a suggestion, since you are going to become a bounty hunter, you had better buy some good magic equipment and weapons, the equipment you are using now is a bit too rudimentary."
"After all, the profession of bounty hunter is quite dangerous, and the further you go, the more vicious you are, and the level is getting higher and higher, and good equipment will greatly improve your work efficiency."
Wen Jiming decided to take the advice of the manager of the Bounty Hunter Guild, his set of equipment, including the magic wand, was used when he first debuted, which was too simple for his current professional level.
After saying goodbye to the wealthy middle-aged steward, he first went to the bounty hunter's archives, extracted information about his mission, and then called a carriage and went straight to the magic supplies shopping street opposite the teleportation array in Kansa City. There is the most famous magic supply store in Kansa City.
Kansa City's magic supplies shopping street is located on the edge of the most famous landscape in the city, the magic towers of Kansa City, and is less than fifty meters away from the nearest magic tower.
The most famous high-end magic goods store here. It is a shop with a large area called the Archmage's House.
As soon as Wen Jiming walked into the door of the Archmage's house, a store manager immediately greeted him.
"Good day, distinguished guest, what kind of magic goods would you like to buy?"
Wen Jiming did not hide it.
"I just signed up as a bounty hunter and want to buy some magic supplies for me. It's better to be the kind that can't tell the level of magic items from the outside, and money is not an issue. ”
The manager obviously heard it, and the one in front of him was a big customer, and hurriedly asked.
"What is your profession?"
"Warlocks, mages, warriors, paladins."
The manager was a little dumbfounded when he heard it, this guest has learned too many professions, he estimates that he may not be able to take care of this guest, after all, there is a profession here, he has never even heard of it, so he had to say to Wen Jiming.
"Wait a minute, I'll ask our shopkeeper to come over in person."
Not long after, a middle-aged businessman followed the manager and came out from behind.
Wen Jiming raised his head and took a closer look at the other party, and immediately concluded that the shopkeeper in front of him was at least an archmage above the twelfth order.
When the shopkeeper saw Wen Jiming, he was also stunned for a moment, and then said in a somewhat strange tone,
"It's the first time I've seen a professional of the four series of cultivators, and they are also Dharma and melee practitioners, it's a real honor, what do you call the guest?"
"Wen Jiming, you can just call me Wen."
The shopkeeper looked surprised.
"You are the rumored Lord of Wen? I didn't expect you to be so young! ”
Wen Jiming was quite surprised.
"Am I so famous now? Even you've heard my name. ”
The shopkeeper laughed.
"Whoever makes good things come from your territory, if you are a businessman, you should also inquire who the lord of this origin is, and you have some fame in the adventure union, so it is naturally connected."
"To tell you the truth, this is still your new city that has not yet been built, and after your new city is built, I will have the heart to open a branch in your place."
You can't let it go! Wen Jiming immediately became very enthusiastic.
"That's so welcome, I promise you'll make a lot of money then, what do you call it?"
The shopkeeper was obviously stunned for a moment by Wen Jiming's sudden enthusiasm, and then laughed even happier.
"You are obviously a businessman, officially acquaintance, Edwood Davis, a thirteenth-order magician, good at making magical equipment and scrolls, and proficient in potions and enchantments, and is also the owner of this shop."
Medicament! Wen Jiming finally remembered that he had promised the orcs to order the potion, but he forgot about it!
He hurriedly began to inquire about the shopkeeper.
"When you talk about potions, it reminds me that I have a very in-demand order here, can you accept it?"
The shopkeeper asked with considerable interest.
"How big is the order? What potions are needed? ”
Wen Jiming thought about it, and the orc chief only said that the more the better, and he couldn't order too much at once, so he replied.
"20,000 bottles of antidote, 5,000 mana recovery potion."
The owner gives the price directly.
"These potions all give you wholesale prices, the antidote is five silver talons per bottle, and the mana recovery is one gold talon per bottle. There are 15,000 gold pagodas in total. ”
Wen Jiming thought for a while and said.
"No problem, this is just the first batch of orders, more will be purchased in the future, after your goods are ready, just send them directly to the chamber of commerce opened here in my territory, do you know the address?" I don't know, I'll send someone to bring it to you. ”
The shopkeeper hurriedly replied.
"Your shop, there is nothing that our merchants in Kansa City don't know, just leave it to me, and send it to you directly when the time comes."
Finally solved the needs of the orcs, and now it was Wen Jiming's turn himself, and he humbly asked the shopkeeper for advice.
"I don't know what gear I need as a bounty hunter, do you have any good advice?"
The shopkeeper thought about it for a while and gave Wen Jiming a suggestion.
"First of all, for sure, you need a good set of armor, I have a set of magic alloy armor here, light and extremely high protection, it is engraved with a defensive circle, and the magic defense is also extremely high, this set of armor will cost you fifteen hundred gold talons."
"In addition, in terms of weapons, I suggest you buy a complete set, from two-handed halberds to one-handed swords and axes, as well as shields, after all, you are a fellow practitioner of the fourth lineage, and you will have the opportunity to use them, and the bow and crossbow are not necessary, in this case, it will be two hundred gold talons."
"The most important thing is that you need a proprietary means of transportation, I have a very good recommendation here, you can follow me to the back storeroom to have a look."
Wen Jiming followed the shopkeeper to the back, the warehouse dedicated to the magic vehicles, and as soon as he entered the door, the boss pointed to a carriage-like frame parked in the most conspicuous position and said.
"It's this lion man golem flying car, after the two golems recognize the master, they can listen to the master's mental consciousness, and have a fairly high ability to judge independently, and they can usually drive autonomously and drive according to the direction given by the master."
"In the field and at night, it can also be used as a guard, and its combat ability is equivalent to two tenth-order demon warriors."
I'm going to go, it's a bit too high-tech! Wen Jiming took a closer look at the two sphinxes and found that they looked very similar to centaurs, both of them were on the ground with four hooves behind them, and the upper body was a human body, holding a halberd in one hand and a shield in the other.
The two golems are more than three meters high, and if you are not careful, you will not be able to tell that they are golems, they are as vivid as living creatures. The flying car pulled at the back is more appropriate if it is a mobile house.
The exterior of the flying car is not luxurious at all, but it is not ordinary, but it is obviously much more comfortable and easy to use as a camping house in the wilderness.
Wen Jiming asked, pointing to this high-level magic flying car.
"How much does this flying car cost?"
The owner was satisfied and gave the price very honestly.
"This golem speeder, we haven't sold a single one so far, I don't make much money from you, all the things, a total of four thousand gold taluns for you."
Wen Jiming, the big boss, is not bad for money.
"Deal!"
After that, the shopkeeper walked to the front with Wen Jiming, asked someone to measure his figure carefully, and then said to him.
"Tonight, we're going to rework your armor and weapons, and considering that your height is going to go up again, we'll leave a little room for the future, and you'll come back tomorrow during the day, and everything will be modified by then."
After Wen Jiming left the magic shop of the Archmage's House, he went to the store he opened in Kansa City, as well as the chamber of commerce in his territory, and explained the matter of buying potions for orcs.
In the 736th year of the Great Xia calendar, at 2 p.m. on April 26.
Wen Jiming teleported through Kansar City and came to Gugara, the capital of the Jialun Empire on the Jupiter Continent.
