Chapter 14: The Stern President
(Just kidding, I wouldn't choose you even if I got married.) )
"I just wanted to say a little better, but it came back right away?!"
(Sorry, I couldn't hold back.) )
"Really." Angela sighed and said, "Forget it, it's not that there is no progress. Well, the black turban thief, right? I'll check it for you...... Yes, the Black Turban Thief is the most powerful black organization in the country of fire where you are now, more than one-third of the gray area in this country is their territory, and the sphere of influence is all over the country of fire, and in recent years there have been signs of spreading to other countries. ”
(Does the government of this country care?) )
"They can't control it, the black turban thieves have monopolized many gray industries in the country, and they have strong financial resources, and many officials in the kingdom have been bought by the black turban thieves and have become the umbrella of the black turban thieves, if you want to move them, you have to consume huge manpower and material resources, and the king is also powerless." Angela said.
(It feels like a shadow regime...... )
"Anyway, this is a very difficult organization, now you better not provoke them, there are a lot of very strong guys in the upper echelons of this organization." Angela warned, "Now you just need to level up as much as possible, and then find some reliable partners, get the demon king, and get the dominance of the survival land, and our gods will deal with these guys." ”
(Okay...... But just find a partner, I think I'm enough alone. )
"Don't be stupid, there are so many strong generals under the Demon King that you can't count them, not to mention group fights, the wheel war can consume you to death." Angela said.
(I still like to do things alone.) )
"Why are you so brainless, you socially phobic man, you can't beat it alone, understand?"
(Who is a socially phobic man?) Do you want to quarrel, socially phobic woman, you pick it up first! )
"Hmph, I don't care about you, I don't want to look for it, I'll play a copy." Angela was silent.
Xu Shuo pursed his lips, lay down on the straw bed, thinking about his partner, and fell asleep unconsciously, during which he woke up several times intermittently, and faintly felt that someone was lying next to him, but he was so sleepy that he couldn't even open his eyes, and immediately fell asleep again.
I don't know how long later, Xu Shuo heard a long and solemn bell, which seemed to come from a long distance, he opened his eyes in a daze, and found that it was still dark in front of him, so he closed his eyes again and fell asleep.
When he opened his eyes again, Xu Shuo saw a petite silhouette lying in front of him, needless to say, it was naturally Miao Zhen. Miao Zhen moved, then sat up from the straw bed. After stretching a little, he turned his head to look at Xu Shuo.
As if wanting to confirm whether Xu Shuo was awake, Miao Zhen whispered, "Brother Xu Shuo? ”
"Hmm." Xu Shuo replied vaguely, and then asked, "What time is it?" ”
"Hmm......" Miao Zhen thought for a while and said, "The bell rang before, and now it should be around seven o'clock." ”
"Oh, it's only seven o'clock, so I'll sleep again...... Wait a minute, it's seven o'clock?! ”
Xu Shuo opened his eyes suddenly, got up with a roll, and rushed up the stairs.
"I'm sorry Miao Zhen, I left beforehand, thank you for taking me in!" Xu Shuo shouted at Miao Zhen who was sitting on the bed as he ran.
Miao Zhen waved his hand and said, "You're welcome, be careful on the road, Brother Xu Shuo." ”
When he rushed to the staircase, Xu Shuo saw the light, the morning light came in through the window of the tavern, it turned out that the sky was already bright, but the underground warehouse had no windows, so he couldn't see the light at all.
It's over, do you have to be late for the first time? Xu Shuo shouted in his heart that he was disgusting, and at the same time quickly ran to the door.
"Ouch!"
The moment he rushed out of the door, Xu Shuo bumped into a soft body and knocked the other party to the ground, and when he reacted, Xu Shuo found himself lying on a soft body.
It's so soft! This was the first thought that came to Xu Shuo's mind.
"Who's it, walking without looking at the road, ouch my ass ......"
Xu Shuo slowly raised his head and met the gaze of the person who was pressed under him, and he actually ......
It's the bald boss! This man with a general's belly has an unexpectedly soft body.
Sure enough, when you go out and bump into a beautiful girl, will it only appear in the comics...... Xu Shuo sighed in his heart.
"Is that you? Stinky boy, why are you in my tavern?! The boss was so angry that his eyes were red.
“…… Excuse me. ”
After Xu Shuo said this, he turned over and got up from the ground, pulled his legs and ran. Behind him came the roar of the bald boss.
"Bastard! Don't let me catch you!! ”
Xu Shuo rushed all the way, the Bounty Hunters Guild was not far from the slums, he quickly arrived at his destination, when he arrived, there were already several men with weapons standing at the door of the Bounty Hunters Guild, a middle-aged man named Rudolph and the president Mae Hill were also there, everyone looked impatient.
Xu Shuo ran to everyone and apologized breathlessly: "Yes, I'm sorry, I'm late!" ”
"Newcomer, why are you late for the first day?" Rudolph asked, frowning.
"I'm sorry." Xu Shuo didn't dare to say that he overslept directly, it seemed too unprofessional, so he had to keep apologizing.
A bearded man in the team looked Xu Shuo up and down, and said in disbelief: "Is that him?" You're not kidding, are you? It's hard to catch a 'coodong chicken' on this body, right? ”
There was a burst of laughter from the team.
At this time, another man with an axe on his back said: "Looking at him like this, others will think that our guild can't recruit people." ”
At this time, May scolded unhappily: "Be respectful, Barton, Cupbier, he is black iron like you." ”
Hearing that Mei was protecting himself, Xu Shuo was a little moved, but before he was moved, he saw Mei glaring at him with a sharp gaze.
"Where's your gear?" May asked.
"Uh...... I don't need a weapon. Xu Shuo shrugged.
It's not that I don't want to use it, but it's mainly that I don't have the money to buy it, and the broken goddess is stingy, and she doesn't even give a weapon to send someone to another world. Xu Shuo gave Angela a middle finger in his heart.
"What about the other things?" May asked.
"What else?" Xu Shuo looked confused, he looked at the others and found that everyone was carrying a big burden.
Rudolph patted his burden and said to Xu Shuo: "Dry food, various recovery potions, water... Three days and two nights of entrusted tasks, you shouldn't think that you will eat and live, right? ”
Xu Shuo froze, he really thought so.
"What are you kidding, do you want to do this job?!" Mei's momentum exploded, making Xu Shuo subconsciously tighten his neck.
(It's terrible, is this the reprimand from the boss that white-collar workers often have to face in mixed society?) I really want to go home and play games! )
Xu Shuo's otaku nature of wanting to go home as soon as he encountered a setback was revived.
"I'm sorry, it's the first time I've been commissioned, and I don't know ......," Xu Shuo explained weakly.
"Do you still want to do it?" Mei asked coldly.
"Yes." Xu Shuo whispered, "Is it okay?" ”
Mei exhaled through her nostrils and turned around and walked into the Hunters' Guild, leaving Xu Shuo with a blank expression.
Xu Shuo looked at the guild gate, then at Rudolph, and asked, "What do you mean?" Can I still participate? ”
Rudolph patted Xu Shuo's shoulder and said, "Newcomer, count yourself lucky, we will have a good heart, don't make this kind of low-level mistake in the future." ”
Not long after Rudolph finished speaking, May came out with a burlap bag.
Mei handed the bag to Xu Shuo and said, "This is the guild's reserve food and water, you take it first." ”
"Oooh, thank you." Xu Shuo took the bag with gratitude, and found that the bag was quite heavy, estimated to be at least ten catties.
"Two silver coins, bring them." Mei stretched out her palm and hooked it.
"Do you still want money?" As soon as Xu Shuo took up his post, he realized the coldness of society, "I, I have no money on me now." ”
"Then it will be deducted from your honorarium, okay?" May said.
Xu Shuo shook his head.
"And this." Mei took out a dagger wrapped in a delicate leather case from her waist, "This short knife is temporarily lent to you, you are a thief, you can use it, right?" ”
"Yes, thank you." Xu Shuo took the dagger. He does often use a dagger as a weapon in the game, which is very dexterous and easy to use for an assassin-type thief.
"This knife was given to me by a friend of mine, I like it very much, you don't want to break it, or ......" Mei pressed her fingers, and her finger bones clicked.
"I'll be careful!" Xu Shuo hurriedly promised.
"President, aren't there a lot of weapons in the guild? There's no need to give him your own baby, right? Bearded Barton said.
"What do you know, the knives in the guild are blunt, and this guy doesn't even have any armor, if he can't even get a decent weapon, wouldn't it make people say that our Hunter Guild is not up to standard?" May said.
At this time, Rudolph, who was in charge of leading the team, said: "President, time is running out, let's go first." ”
"Well, go ahead." Mei said and glanced at Xu Shuo, "Don't be late again." ”
Xu Shuo didn't dare to speak, he wondered in his heart, he didn't know why Mei, who was still holding his shoulders like a hot girl next door yesterday, suddenly became an imposing female president, and even reminded him of the head teacher of high school.
"Alright, let's go, we have to report to the Wink family's mansion before eight o'clock, there are still twenty minutes left, hurry up!" Rudolph turned around and walked away, his steps as decisive as thunder.
The team counted Xu Shuo, a total of six people, except for Xu Shuo, who was stunned for a moment, and the rest of them followed Rudolph quickly.
