Tianyan City, an ancient city like an ancient beast encircling the earth, as the country of the Tianyan Empire, is as lively as ever.

Buildings stand in a forest, antique pavilions and buildings stand one after another, people come and go in the city streets, on both sides of the street, a dazzling array of exotic goods can be seen everywhere, shouting, selling one after another, as if turning into the main theme, attracting people to come and go.

However, in the northwest corner of this noisy city, in front of a building that looks like a secluded place, this place is particularly deserted at this time, in front of the building, a few people hurriedly walked by, and when they walked through the building, they all bowed their heads, and the bolder ones only glanced at the door plaque for a short time, and then hurried away.

This building seems to be intimidating.

Of course, among those who walk through the building, there are exceptions. In my sight, there was an emaciated figure wrapped in a black robe standing in front of the door of the building.

This person was wrapped in a black robe all over his body, wearing a hat, and the black cloth on the edge of the hat hung down, covering his face completely, so that people could not see even the slightest of his face. It's just that from the man's slightly raised forehead, it can be seen that he is looking intently at the big words on the door like a knife.

He stood here, but it formed a different landscape with the building.

"The Bounty Puppet Master Guild, it's been two years, and it's still the same. The man muttered to himself. The breeze blew and lifted a corner of the hanging black cloth, revealing the extremely handsome face inside. He is Gu Chen, who has only been in the Heavenly Courtyard for a month, and is now going out to practice.

"Huh, it's time to see what the reward is, it's been two years, and for the sake of three life and death runes, I've stepped on the ghost gate a few times. ”

Gu Chen laughed at himself, for that unknown reward, he had suffered a lot in the past two years, and now that this bounty task was about to be revealed, it was really a bit of a bit of an expectation.

Stomp!

After arranging his black robe, he slowly stepped into the not-so-spacious door, all the way inward, straight to the mission release hall.

"Hello, honorable puppeteer, what can I do for you?"

As soon as he entered the door, a reception maid waiting at the door of the hall came up and asked enthusiastically. The Bounty Puppeteer's Guild's Quest Reception and Quest Release are located in different places, so the only people who can come here are the Bounty Puppeteer, except for the guild staff.

Swish!

Under the black robe, Gu Chen did not speak, he reached into his arms, took out an iron black card about the size of a palm, and handed it to the woman. This iron card is a token that the guild specially handed over to him when he received the bounty task, and now that the task is completed, it is natural to use the iron card to redeem the corresponding reward.

"The task is complete, give me a reward for huàn. ”

"Yes! The woman was slightly stunned, this was the first time she had met such a mysterious bounty puppeteer, not only was she tightly wrapped, but even her voice seemed erratic.

It is true that for Gu Chen today, the identity of the disciple of Haotian Tianyuan makes him have to be particularly cautious, in Tianyan City, Haotian Academy is indeed a behemoth, but it can be a big move, and with the strong style of the academy, it is inevitable that there will be no festivals with certain forces, if he rashly appears in his real body, one is not good, I am afraid that it will cause a lot of trouble.

So on this trip, he was not only quite cautious in his attire, but even made a special change in his voice.

The woman held the cold iron piece in her hand and trotted all the way to the reception desk inside. Then he whispered to the rest of the maids in the same attire.

After about half an hour like this, she came to Gu Chen's side again with the iron card.

"Your Excellency, I'm sorry, but we can't redeem your quest reward. The woman held the iron plate in front of Gu Chen's eyes and said apologetically.

"What do you mean? I have clearly completed this task, why can't I do it?" Gu Chen asked in a deep voice with that hoarse and fluttering voice, and his words unconsciously brought a trace of anger. And his anger naturally made the woman tremble.

Every bounty puppeteer is not something she can afford to mess with.

"No, no, please be angry. The woman's beautiful eyes suddenly became anxious, waved her hand again and again, and said: "We have checked just now, the original time limit for this task you received should be one year, but now two years have passed, according to the requirements of the guild, it should be handled according to the ...... you did not complete the task."

The woman said cautiously, looking up at Gu Chen from time to time as she spoke, for fear that the latter would burst out in anger.

"Oh, there is still a time limit?" Gu Chen in the hat frowned, this question had been ignored by him before, if it was really what the woman said, it seemed that he had been really busy these days.

"In that case, forget it. Taking a deep breath, he suppressed the unhappiness in his heart, grabbed the iron medal, turned around and wanted to leave. Since you can't redeem the reward, it won't be of much use to stay here. As for forcibly asking the union for a task reward, he also knew in his heart that with his current strength, he was afraid that he would be captured by those monster-level old guys before he could make a move.

It's just that just when he turned around and didn't take a step, the woman's next words made him stop abruptly.

"Eh, wait, Your Excellency, although you didn't complete the task within the allotted time, we show here that just one day before this quest expired, someone came to the guild and extended the quest time by another year, so your quest reward is still valid. ”

"Oh, someone, extended the mission time?" Gu Chen stood still, Xu Xu turned around, his eyes full of doubts. Although he hadn't been in the Bounty Puppeteer's Guild for a long time, he did have some knowledge of some of the guild's game rules.

Just like the task publisher deliberately extended the task time, this kind of thing is almost impossible to exist. Because no matter who it is, as long as the task is issued, they must want to complete it early, as long as this way, it can bring them the greatest benefit.

Unless the task publisher has a bad brain, there must be some kind of use in it, because if the publisher asks to change the task time, he needs to spend even more than the time of a task.

What kind of person would have made such a decision?

Could it be that from the very beginning, all his actions were under his surveillance?

Or is it that the mission issued by the mysterious task publisher is simply aimed at himself?

The deeper he thought about it, the more Gu Chen felt that there was a chill behind him, if he really had such a pair of eyes staring at him all the time, and he could not be discovered by himself, then what kind of storage would the other party be.

"Your Excellency...... Your Excellency, are you listening?" Seeing that he stood still for a long time and did not speak, the woman couldn't help but remind in a low voice.

Hearing this, Gu Chen was stunned for a moment, and suddenly came back to his senses. "Oh, what did you say?

The woman smiled and said: "We really can't redeem your task rewards here, because your task is a first-class and one-star task, and according to the regulations, our authority here is too low, and we are not eligible to redeem the rewards of such a high-level task." ”

"One class and one star? This task turned out to be a first-class and one-star mission?" Gu Chen heard this, his face was shocked today, and he only now knew that the first task he took on was so difficult.

You must know that every task released by the Bounty Puppeteer Guild will be divided into levels according to the difficulty of the task, the easiest and lowest level is the fifth class and one star, and then each additional star, the task difficulty will increase by one level, and after the fifth class and five stars, the task will be upgraded to the fourth class and one star, and the highest difficulty of the first class and five stars has never appeared so far.

In this way, his character this time can already be called a first-class task that is difficult to ascend to the sky. I really didn't expect that what I took on casually would be such a task.

Call!

Gu Chen took a deep breath, tried his best to suppress the fluctuations in his heart, and said, "Since you can't redeem huàn here, where can you redeem huàn?"

The woman smiled and replied: "First-class tasks, where you picked up two years ago, you can go there directly to redeem huàn." ”

"Oh, got it. Gu Chen nodded slightly, and immediately ignored the woman's fiery eyes, raised his feet and walked towards the small door next to the reception desk......

"Whew, what a cool puppeteer, and besides, he must not be very old, or he wouldn't have deliberately avoided my eyes just now. ”

Gu Chen quickly disappeared into the small door, and after he left, the woman who had just received him suddenly seemed to have changed her face, her eyes were like silk, whitewashed red, and her eyes looking at Gu Chen's back became even more hot, as if there was a fire burning.

I have to say that a woman's intuition is indeed terrifying......

Stomp!

Along the winding bluestone path under his feet, Gu Chen kept walking in with his memory, and there was almost no major change here, so according to his memory, he also quickly came to the door of the room where he received the task.

This room is located in the deepest part of the guild, and there are two other rooms of the same size adjacent to it. As soon as he stepped here, Gu Chendang was stunned by the solemn and fierce aura in the air.

That breath did not come from someone's deliberate release, but after cultivating for a long time, the breath naturally leaked out, resulting in a special oppressive force that was different from puppet oppression. Just like the emperor's natural imperial power, it has almost substantial, but intangible influence.

Call!

Gu Chen took a big breath and tried to calm down his nervous mood.

Reaching out and taking off the hat, he gently knocked on the simple but ancient door.

Tuk Tuk ......

"Come in!"
