Chapter 321: The Second Mission
At ten o'clock in the morning, the tavern was still lively.
Just a few minutes ago, someone shouted "The Mask Monster has appeared", so a group of people left, sharpening their knives one by one, and rushed to the south of the city where the Mask Monster appeared this time, all wanting to be the first to catch him.
Of course, there are also quite a few people who remain unmoved and stay in the tavern.
One of them scoffed: "A bunch of fools, if the masked monsters really appeared, with their little means, rush to death?" β
"It's all from out of town, and I haven't experienced the power of the masked monster."
"After a batch of deaths, those people will be much more sober."
Anyone with a discerning eye can tell that the masked monsters that have appeared recently are all fakes.
With the style of the masked monster, once he appears, he will definitely stir up the whole city, and the chickens and dogs will be restless, and even the automtons will be alarmed.
At that time, the low-level creatures will not have time to run, where will they dare to come up and find death?
"Recently, some wealthy merchants in the city have been robbed of their goods, but it is a bit like the style of the masked monster, and his real body should be hidden somewhere in the city."
"Like a fart! It was Wang Teng's people who intercepted the goods! β
ββ¦β¦β
When Wang Teng was mentioned, the topic in the tavern was quickly diverted, and the number of people talking about this mercenary king slowly increased.
A mercenary can be quite remarkable if he can divide one side and claim the king.
As long as he wants, he can build a city in situ at any time.
When the time comes, the surrounding mercenary towns, garrisons, gathering places, etc., will all move closer to him and become part of his organization, and together form a real mercenary city.
"By the way, isn't the masked monster really Wang Teng's opponent?" Some people in the tavern were puzzled, most of them were newcomers from other places, and they were not very familiar with what had happened in the southwest region.
"With his character, if he could beat it, he would probably have killed it a long time ago."
"It's hard to say, the mercenary town is Wang Teng's home field, I'm afraid there is an ambush over there...... That Wang Teng, although he is powerful, has not always dared to enter the city controlled by the mechanical clan? β
Some people have suggested that Wang Teng's recent communication with Coral City has been in a randomly selected suburban town.
He didn't dare to enter the city, for fear that the mechanical people would do something to him.
A person like him, who has no big background, can only be vigilant for a long time.
If he is willing to join the Zero Point Tavern, with a tavern background, he naturally doesn't have to be so cautious, but how can a person like him be restrained by the tavern?
"I think it's better to be a masked geek, but he dares to do it directly in the city."
"This is a bad statement, Wang Teng should be stronger."
ββ¦β¦β
Suddenly there was a dispute on this topic, and it spread more and more widely.
In the end, the people on the first floor of the entire tavern actually began to argue about who was stronger, the "King of Mercenaries" or the "Mask Monster".
From the beginning of the arguments, citing various examples to prove it, to the end of spitting on each other, fighting for red faces and thick necks, many people scolded directly.
A few even rolled up their sleeves, revealing punch-bag-sized fists and thick arms.
If it weren't for the fact that hands were not allowed in the tavern, the two sides might have settled it with their fists long ago.
In this day and age, violence can solve everything, and if it can't be solved, it must be that violence is not enough.
"Calm down, everybody!" The waiter in the tavern shouted, "Please don't do it, think of the masked monster, do you want to be hunted by the whole world like him?" β
When he shouted like this, the members of those bloody heads calmed down a lot and sat down rationally.
Everyone asked themselves, they were 108,000 miles behind the masked monsters, and if they were really wanted by the tavern, let alone a billion bounty, they might not even be able to carry the ten yuan bounty.
Among other things, the waiters in the tavern were much better than many of the people in the room.
If they really break the rules, as soon as they walk out the door, these waiters will take off their heads and receive the reward.
At this time, Su Xia happened to finish reading the information of this period of time and returned to the rest area on the first floor.
When he heard those disputes, his heart moved, and he asked the bartender: "In the tavern, is there a task to hunt Wang Teng?" β
"Yes, and quite a few." The bartender patiently replied, "Recently, many merchants' goods have been robbed by Wang Teng's men, and even a lot of people who transported the goods have been killed, so they are willing to spend a lot of money to buy Wang Teng's head, and ...... The official of Seahorse City also issued a wanted notice for Wang Teng. β
The bounties for those merchants' missions are more or less in the millions.
Seahorse City officials released a wanted 8 million bounty.
In the end, the bounty accumulated on Wang Teng has reached forty or fifty million, which shows how presumptuous he has been these days, and the total bounty is higher than that of the original Beifeng commander.
After all, Commander Borean did not interfere with the normal transportation of goods of the merchants, but only worked against the mechs, and the various cities only symbolically wanted him.
"If it weren't for the masked monster, Wang Teng would have been at the top of the wanted list, far beyond the second place." The bartender said.
"If you're not a member of the tavern, can you get a quest?" Su Xia asked a very introductory question.
"You can receive some of the tasks that are open to the public." The bartender replied in detail, "As long as you log on to the tavern's website, you can see those scrolling tasks at the top of the website, you can pick them up as a 'guest', and after completing the tasks, you can use your 'guest number' to receive the bounty." β
"Well, tourists ......"
Su Xia touched his chin and thought about it, but he always felt that it was still troublesome, and he couldn't get all the tasks as a tourist.
The bounty for killing Wang Teng is not earned in vain.
If he doesn't take the task, he will feel that he has lost tens of millions in vain, and it hurts to think about it, after all, he is a good man who is diligent and thrifty.
"Forget it, let's register my identity." Su Xia said helplessly.
"Okay, guest, you've made the right choice!"
A smile appeared on the bartender's face, and he made another gesture of please, inviting Su Xia to go to the depths of the first floor.
He walked to one side and led Susha into another hallway, all the way to the elevator at the end of the hallway.
It seems that the tavern branch structure is similar in every city.
"Dingβ"
The elevator door opens and the indicator light flashes.
Susha walked in with the bartender, and then the elevator doors slowly closed and descended to the first floor.
This is where the members of the tavern really rest.
The elevator door opens, and not far from the door, there is a bar counter that looks exactly like the Coral City branch, and you can see the lobby where you can collect the quest when you go inside.
The atmosphere on the first floor is harmonious, and the members communicate very quietly, not as noisy as the upstairs.
At the bar, there were two people drinking, and their status seemed to be not low, and the rest of the members were far away and did not dare to approach.
Su Xia looked over, and two strings of data instantly appeared in his eyes.
[Hu Hanhai: Level 5.1 psionic creature ......]
[Liu Jinjia: Level 5.3 psionic creature ......]
His heart moved, his face did not change, and he never imagined that he would meet these two people here.
According to the description, this man named Liu Jinjia has a very bad temper, and he is also the ruthless man who killed several local gangs overnight as Cheng Men said in the car before.
A humble smile appeared on the bartender's face, and he bowed a little, not even caring about guiding Su Xia, and hurriedly walked over, lowered his head and said, "I've seen two adults." β
Hu Hanhai bowed slightly, and his attitude was quite gentle: "Well, do your thing, don't worry about me and waiting." β
Liu Jinjia's face was indifferent, holding a wine glass and not speaking.
The bartender immediately glanced at the waiter behind the bar, winked at him, and then pointed to Su Xia behind him: "Newcomer." β
He spoke in a very small voice, like a mosquito, as if he was afraid of disturbing Liu Jinjia's interest in drinking.
The waiter was also very knowledgeable, took out the newcomer's signing contract from under the counter, took out a signing pen, and whispered, "Come here to sign." β
He walked to the other side of the bar, laid out the pen and paper, and placed it in front of Susha.
At the same time, he also took out a small blue book - the newcomer's manual.
Su Xia had never seen this thing.
Not only him, but most of the tavern members hadn't seen it.
Anyway, in the tavern, you only need to remember two rules.
One is that you can't get your hands inside the tavern, and the other is that you have to complete three tasks every month.
"Please read the contract carefully." The waiter is also very patient, "If you have any questions, you can ask me, I will answer them for you, if you have no questions, just write your name, the signing process is very fast." β
"Okay."
Su Xia had already read this contract.
He briefly flipped through it again, then picked up the signing pen and signed his name at the bottom of the last page of the contract - Ryuxing.
Then it was time to give yourself a title, and almost everyone in the tavern referred to each other by their titles.
In the title column, Su Xia wrote the word "October".
At this time, Hu Hanhai, a fifth-level creature on the other side of the bar, suddenly smiled and said, "I'm lucky today, I can meet a newcomer to sign a contract with a glass of morning wine." β
As he spoke, he flicked his fingers and popped out a shiny gold coin.
With a snap, the coin landed steadily on the bar in front of Su Xia.
Hu Hanhai smiled and said, "Give this young man a good drink." β
The waiter immediately replied respectfully, "Okay, please wait." β
Su Xia turned around and thanked him: "Thank you, sir." β
"You're welcome!" Hu Hanhai smiled, "Seeing that you have the smell of blood on your body, you should have killed people, better than ordinary newcomers, do a good job in the tavern, and strive to survive the first three years." β
His words were a direct blessing, after all, the survival rate of the tavern members in the first three years was indeed frighteningly low.
Three years have passed, and less than half of the members who have not quit survived, and most of them have either disappeared or died.
Three tasks must be completed every month, and this mandatory rule has dissuaded many members of the tavern.
"Friend, here comes the wine."
The waiter brought a glass of very expensive wine and brought it to Su Xia.
The coin that Hu Hanhai popped out just now was made of pure gold, enough to buy a glass of the most expensive wine here.
Su Xia picked up the wine glass, drank it all in one gulp, and then thanked him again: "Thank you, sir, it is indeed a good wine." β
A scorching breath rushed down his throat and spread throughout his body, as if there was a fire dragon scurrying around in his body, making Su Xia feel that the spiritual power in his body was more active.
He immediately realized that this was a medicinal liquor refined by the methods of a pharmacist, which was equivalent to an auxiliary potion.
At the same time, a prompt popped up in front of him.
[You drink the medicinal wine "Fire Dragon Drunk", the spiritual power is increased by 14%, and the duration is 15 minutes]
Su Xia remembered that Yiyi also had a similar medicinal wine there.
Although the efficacy of the drug is not as good as that of high-level drugs, it lasts for a long time.
From this point of view, there must be many pharmacists of no low rank inside the tavern, and I don't know if there are any legendary sixth-order pharmacists.
"I'm not drunk, the young man's strength is good!" Hu Hanhai commented with a smile.
"My lord, Liao praised."
Su Xia responded with a smile as she pondered in her heart the feasibility of refining this medicinal wine.
If it can be refined, the pharmacy will have another income in the future.
On the side, the bartender and the waiter were a little envious, after all, not everyone could be valued by a level five creature on the first day of signing.
Not long after, the waiter clicked on the employee system and began to enter information for Su Xia.
After a while, he said in a regretful voice: "I'm sorry, the title 'October' has already been used, and you need to change the title." β
"Does anyone use Ryuxing?" Susha asked.
"I'll see...... No one. β
"Then use your real name."
"Okay."
The waiter began to re-enter, and his fingers flew quickly.
At the same time, the machine on the side made a "bang" sound, as if it was burning something.
After a while, a black identity card belonging to Su Xia was freshly baked, with the word [Liuxing] printed on the card, and it could be used to receive tasks and bounties in the future.
There is another card in Suxia's storage space, which is printed with the words "Mask Monster", but it can't be used now.
If he were taken out here, he would immediately fall under siege from countless tavern members.
After getting the card, the signing process is over.
Hu Hanhai said with a smile: "Young man, go and choose simple tasks, spend a few days every month to complete the three easiest tasks, and then challenge the difficult ones." β
"Yes, thank you for your advice."
Su Xia held the ID card and looked at the location of the hall.
On the right side of the large screen hanging in the lobby is a list of wanted people.
The number one is naturally his identity as a masked geek, with the bounty followed by a long string of red zeros.
The second is Wang Teng.
Su Xia walked into the hall, stood in front of a self-service machine, inserted the ID card, and began to select tasks.
He clicked on the word [Wang Teng] and immediately saw the details of the task, and also saw a number - 698.
This was the number of people who offered a bounty to Wang Teng's head, which was more than Su Xia expected.
"Not only the businessmen and city officials, but also many private family members." Su Xia understood, "The drivers, guards, and delivery workers who were killed by Wang Teng's men also provided bounties from their families. β
He noticed that in the bounty pool, the smallest bounty was only 1451.7 yuan.
There are odd and round figures, most of which are the savings of a poor family, and no matter how much they have, they can't get out.
At this time, the bartender walked up behind Su Xia and whispered, "You really want to take Wang Teng's task?" I thought you were just talking. β
"Try it." Susha didn't deny it.
"More than a dozen senior members have failed this month, and several of them have lost their lives, click on the column below the mission details to see their failure process."
The bartender had the heart to persuade: "That Wang Teng is very powerful, the two adults may not be sure, you better do some small tasks first." β
"It's okay, there is no time limit for the task of killing Wang Teng, and you can not do it if you take it."
Su Xia smiled, clicked to confirm, and suddenly there was an additional task on his empty personal interface.
γHunt the King of Mercenaries - Wang Tengγ
The task was red, red and black, as if blood was about to spill out of the screen.
