Chapter 16: The Boring Task
"Sending a letter?!"
"Shipping?!"
"Moving bricks?!" ......
In the yellow-level hall of the Spirit Master Main Hall, a silver-haired young girl in a gray-brown uniform was screaming loudly in front of the mission awarding counter, and behind her stood three young boys in the same dress, as well as a middle-aged man, and the three boys also had incredible looks on their faces.
Behind the counter, a woman in a gray-brown uniform looked helpless, looking at the scene in front of her, this is the first time she has faced the same scene today, although she is helpless, she can only whisper: "Miss, this is the scope of the task accepted by the main hall, although it is simple, but it can only be done by a spirit master, such as this letter delivery task, send the letter to the guard post of Ivory Village, a subordinate village of Meteorite City, within half a day, Meteorite City is a hundred miles away from this village, and only a spirit master can send the letter to within half a day." ”
"But ......" Nie Bingbing looked angry, you must know that a pampered rich lady like her has been studying at the Spirit Master Academy since she was a child, in order to join the Spirit Master Palace, accept the experience of various tasks in the Spirit Master Hall, and grow into a higher cultivation Spirit Master powerhouse.
But what she didn't expect was that when she came to the main hall for the first time and looked through the existing tasks, something surprising happened to her, delivering letters, delivering goods, and moving building materials...... Countless tedious tasks come into view, neither the imaginary thrilling treasure hunt mission, nor the hearty combat mission, nor the exploration mission of life and death.
"Bingbing, hurry up and find a task to receive, although these tasks seem easy, but for you fledgling yellow-level spirit masters, there is still a certain amount of exercise meaning. Like sending letters, exercising leg strength: transporting goods, exercising the awareness of protecting goals: carrying goods, exercising ** strength, the main hall accepts these tasks, and promulgates them, or has a certain purpose. Yang Zheng leaned against the counter, his face was still lazy without a trace of energy, looked at Nie Bingbing's unhappy look, and persuaded.
Lin Yuming stepped forward, took the task list in Nie Bingbing's hand, looked at it carefully, and asked Yang Zheng, the team leader on the side, "Captain Yang, what kind of task should we receive?"
"Hmm......" Yang Zheng turned his head sideways and thought for a moment, and said: "An emerging team like ours is more suitable for transporting goods, so that the team can act in a unified manner, if you accept a one-person task like sending a letter, it will not only waste human resources, but also waste time." ”
Lin Yu understood, looked for it on the list, pointed to a task, and said to the woman behind the counter, "Well, can you please help us issue this task?"
The task promulgation counter lady wearing a gray-brown uniform took the task list, looked at the task item pointed by Lin Yuming, and nodded: "Okay, the seventh team will pick up and deliver fertilizer to Dongxing Village in the east of Falling Star City." ”
......
On the Dongguan Road of Meteorite City, a small cart was slowly moving forward, and a twelve-year-old boy with dark green short hair was pushing the cart behind the cart, and two wooden barrels were placed on the cart, and there was a disgusting and unbearable foul smell coming from the barrels.
In addition to the boys, there were two boys and a girl on the other side of the road, and although they had been following the cart, they were always far away from the cart, as if there was some monster on the cart that they could not avoid.
"Lin Yuming, you bastard, bastard!" The young man pushing the cart was Huang Hao, and at this time, he had a distorted expression on his face, and while pushing the cart hard, he scolded Lin Yuming as if shouting slogans.
Looking at Huang Hao's painful appearance, Nie Bingbing pinched his nose and laughed: "Huang Hao, you deserve it, hahaha......"
Lin Yuming and Mo Han walked behind Nie Bingbing, Lin Yuming also looked funny, and defended: "How did I know that it stinks, at that time, Captain Yang proposed that we accept a team task to transport goods, and I saw the fertilizer delivery first, and I received it directly, where do you know, haha." ”
Huang Hao looked angry, stopped, turned his head to the three of them and said, "Yu Ming come and take over!
"Good, good. Lin Yuming looked helpless, although the fertilizer bucket was extremely foul, he could only come to Huang Hao's side, take the push handle in his hand, keep his balance, and continue to move forward.
Huang Hao was amnesty, and he came to Nie Bingbing's side in a few steps, far away from the small cart.
Lin Yuming pushed a small cart with a lot of weight, although he was a phantom master whose strength was not very prominent, but with the assistance of spiritual power, his strength was also much higher than that of ordinary people.
Along the official road, the four of them laughed all the way, during which the three boys took turns to change shifts, Nie Bingbing was pampered from below, and she was a girl, and she was extremely unwilling, and the three of them did not propose to let her join the ranks of the shift change.
"Hey, you say, will there be any wild beasts attacking around here?" Nie Bingbing looked curiously into the jungle on both sides of the official road, with a look of anticipation.
Mo Han said lightly: "Beast, this is neither a barren mountain nor a wild ridge, Meteorite City is the capital of the Star Iron Country, if you want to say that chickens, ducks, snakes and rabbits are possible, beasts? ”
"......" Nie Bingbing's originally expectant face turned into a dejected look again, and he had to move forward slowly.
Sure enough, before resisting the destination Dongxing Village, let alone the beasts, even the people who came and went saw the fertilizer cart transported by the four people, and hurriedly covered their noses and hurried away, avoiding it.
......
In this way, the seventh team continued to take on all kinds of transportation tasks, running back and forth between the villages and towns around Meteor City, constantly transporting all kinds of goods, although impatient, but every time I saw the surprised expression of the counter lady, the efficiency of the four people to complete the task is still worthy of recognition.
"Don't do it, don't do it, don't do it!" Entering the yellow-level passage again, looking at Yang Zheng, who was leaning against the entrance of the passage and waiting for them, with a drowsy look, Nie Bingbing finally couldn't bear the boredom in his heart, and stomped his feet angrily.
With Nie Bingbing walking into the three people in the yellow-level hall together, Lin Yuming was okay and didn't show any impatient expression, but the sweat on his forehead was enough to prove his exhaustion before, Mo Han found a chair in the hall with an indifferent expression, and after sitting down, he took out his Nanmu spirit staff and wiped it slowly, expressing his dissatisfaction, while Huang Hao directly sat on the ground and panted slowly, his expression was not like pretending.
Yang Zheng looked at the appearance of the four people, with such an expression on his face, as a purple-level spirit master, how could he not know the boredom and irritability of the yellow-level task?
The four people in the seventh squad were originally all geniuses in the Star Iron Spirit Master Academy, top geniuses, how could they endure transporting goods back and forth for a week, under Yang Zheng's urging, except for eating, there was almost no rest.
You must know that in addition to dirty work like fertilizer, Nie Bingbing also joined in.
Yang Zheng yawned lazily and said lightly, "Qingfeng Town, which I went to this time, why did you come back so late?"
Nie Bingbing, who was sulking on the side, heard this, and immediately became unhappy, and shouted to Yang Zhen: "What do you mean to come back so late, today is the fourth time to transport goods, from morning to night, I ate a lunch, and I was tired to death......
"It's unbearable? It is said that it is the genius of the academy, I think it is a group of young masters and ladies who have been pampered since childhood, and they don't know how to work hard with their talents, right?" Yang Zheng's expression on his face did not change, and he still had a lazy expression.
"What did you say?!" Nie Bingbing heard this, and immediately became angry. Usually in the academy, Nie Bingbing is like a princess holding the moon in the stars, every teacher who has taught her praises this eldest lady of the Nie family as a genius among geniuses, how can she bear Yang Zheng to disdain to call her 'pampered eldest lady'?
Nie Bingbing was very angry, and the consequences were serious.
I saw that a faint layer of blue light was attached to Nie Bingbing's fists, although he had not reached the realm of a spirit controller, but Nie Bingbing, who had gradually touched the threshold, was already slightly able to control the ability to attach this spiritual power.
Bingbing rushed up in a few steps, and came to Yang Zheng in a breath, slammed his fist into Yang Zheng's chest with one hand, and cut Yang Zheng's lower abdomen with the palm knife with the other, and shot mercilessly.
"Bingbing don't!" The exhausted Huang Hao and Lin Yuming only reacted at this time, and stopped them in a loud voice, Mo Han is head looked up, with a trace of worry on his face.
Nie Bingbing could be said to be carried away by anger, you must know that Yang Zheng is a purple-level spirit master, although he doesn't know how Yang Zheng's cultivation is, but just based on the strictness of the evaluation of the main hall, it can be concluded that Yang Zheng's strength is not only one and a half points higher than them, but even in the main hall, it can be called the top strength.
Looking at the little girl rushing towards him, Yang Zheng muttered: "Little girl with commendable courage." The body flashed to the side slightly, and then dodged Nie Bingbing's fist, his right hand stretched out, put it on Nie Bingbing's wrist as white as jade, and with a slight pinch, the blue light on Nie Bingbing's palm disappeared, and at the same time, with a gentle push, a gentle spiritual power pushed Nie Bingbing back a few steps, and his center of gravity fell unsteadily on the ground in the hall.
"It's okay!" Huang Hao and Lin Yuming hurriedly ran forward and held Nie Bingbing's body, Huang Hao turned his head and glared at Yang Zheng angrily, shouting, "What are you doing?"
An imperceptible smile flashed on Yang Zheng's lazy face, and he said, "What? If you're not convinced, the four of you will go together, if you can defeat me, I'll help you think of a way to find an interesting task." ”
"Fight, fight! Who is afraid of whom!" Seeing that the best partner was pushed down by Yang Zheng, Huang Hao already had an angry look on his face, and agreed to Yang Zheng's words without thinking.
