Chapter 114: Profiteers
"Go on. After Lianhua finished explaining, she looked at Crazy and said.
"The requirements of this team competition task are that the recipient needs to carry the memory stone provided by the client into the deepest part of the ruins for exploration, and after the exploration is completed, hand in the memory stone, and the client will judge whether the task is completed." ”
"A very common task. Lianhua concluded.
"Yes, it was a very ordinary task at first, and this task was hung on the bulletin board not long after the ruins appeared, and it was originally an ordinary mission. Crazy paused for a moment, "It's just that the quest requires exploring the depths of the ruins and is more difficult than other quests that appear at the same time, so no one accepted it at first." Later, because none of the people who went to explore the ruins returned, this task was even more neglected. Crazy paused for a moment, "About half a month ago, this mission was suddenly upgraded to a team competition mission, and the honorarium was also increased. At the mention of the honorarium, Madt visibly felt that his voice trembled a little.
Lianhua keenly grasped this and asked, "How much is the honorarium?"
"The original mission was paid 1,000 gold coins. Saying this, the madman calmed his voice so that it did not tremble, "Now, well, the current reward is fifty thousand gold coins." ”
"Fifty thousand gold coins!" Lianhua, Jane, Ryder, Lucy, and Severn all gasped.
"The reward of 50,000 gold coins can really make the mercenary group crazy. Even if it was a mercenary group with a large number of people like the Demon Tyrannosaurus, 50,000 gold coins would be equivalent to their income for two to three years. Lianhua thought so in her heart.
Just when everyone was still startled, a voice came from the direction of the woods, "What 50,000 gold coins? Where are 50,000 gold coins?"
Everyone followed the sound to look, in fact, they didn't need to look to know who it was, only to see that Li Ao had to walk out of the woods with "¥¥" in his eyes, wiping the saliva that was about to drip down as he walked, and there were seven or eight cuts on his clothes and pants.
"Are you alright?" asked Jane, looking at Leon.
"It's okay, it's okay. Liao waved his hand casually and walked in the direction of Mad.
"What about people?" asked Lianhua as she looked at Li Ao who walked beside her.
"If I don't mention it, I don't see anyone at all. ”
"And what's the matter with you?" asked Jane, pointing to the clothes on Leon's body. The opening on Liao Ao's clothes was neat and steady, obviously not cut by branches and leaves, but by sharp weapons.
"Hahaha, don't worry about the details, Jane. Li Ao laughed and slapped the hand that Jane was pointing at, and then turned to Lianhua, "Hua, what did you just say 50,000 gold coins?"
"A task. ”
"Wow! You can get 50,000 gold coins for one mission! That's amazing! Where can I pick it up? Hua, let's pick it up and do it. Li Ao shouted with his hands dancing and shouting. "Fifty thousand, fifty thousand, fifty thousand..."
"I'm afraid I can't take that now!" said Crazy Te as he looked at Liao and trembled.
"What!" Li Ao said, looking at Lianhua with a roll of his eyes. "Did someone take it?hmm~ That's right, it's strange that no one takes the task with such a rich reward, otherwise it's so gorgeous, let's grab it and do it, right?"
"It's a competitive task, you don't have to grab it. Lianhua was so angry that she glanced at Li Ao.
"Competitive mission, what is a competitive mission?" asked Li Ao suspiciously.
“...”
"The competition mission is..."Jane whispered the explanation he had just heard, and at the same time told Rio about the previous situation, and he couldn't help but exclaim when he heard that there were now eleven mercenary groups in Swamp Town. But when he heard about the Demon Tyrannosaurus Mercenary Group, he actually asked the same question as Lucy, "Is the Demon Tyrannosaurus Mercenary Group famous?" This question made Jane roll her eyes for a while, and finally told Liao about the situation of the Demon Tyrannosaurus Mercenary Group.
Lianhua took advantage of this gap and asked Mad, "Why can't you take it?"
"Because no one can enter the mercenary hall now. Crazy looked helpless.
"Huh?" Lianhua frowned and raised her brow. "Who else dares to cause trouble in the mercenary hall?"
"It's true that no one dares to cause trouble inside the Mercenary Pavilion," Madt nodded and shook his head, "but outside the Mercenary Pavilion it's different. Now the main roads outside the Mercenary Pavilion in Swamp Town are controlled by the Crocodile, Howling and Demon Tyrannosaurus mercenary groups, and the small roads are controlled by other mercenary groups. ”
"Strange, why don't you let people get close to the mercenary hall? Isn't this a task that everyone competes with? Why don't you do the task with all this spare time? I really don't know what you think?"
Listening to Li Ao's question, he sighed heavily, "Hey~ It's not that everyone doesn't do it, but they can't do it, this ruin is too weird, all the people who went in have disappeared, and now no one dares to go in." There is no way to prevent others from taking the task, after all, such a big piece of fat is placed in front of him, although he can't eat it, but he is reluctant to throw it away to others, so he is frozen there. ”
After hearing this, Li Ao nodded seriously, "Yes, if it were me, I wouldn't be willing to throw it away." ”
"That's all I know. ”
"Let's go, take your people with you. After saying that, Lianhua turned around and walked towards the carriage without looking at Madt again.
"That's it, I've just arrived, don't ask any more questions?"
"That's pretty much it, let's go. Jane reached out and patted Li Ao's shoulder, followed by Lianhua, and walked back.
"Okay. Li Ao shrugged his shoulders and walked last.
Looking at the three backs that were far away from him, Crazy Te exhaled heavily, "Whew~" His back was already soaked with cold sweat, and there was a chill at this moment, and he didn't care about the chest that was still faintly stuffy, Crazy Te hurriedly got up from the ground and was about to walk in the direction of his subordinates.
"By the way, this mercenary brother. Severn called out to him.
"What, what's the matter?" Madt quickly stopped and looked towards the carriage.
"Don't you mercenary groups want weapons, so how about I sell you all my weapons?" said Severn as he jumped out of the carriage. "The price is absolutely fair, and I will give you a 20% discount. ”
"This..."Crazy looked at Lianhua, Jane, and Liao Ao, and saw that they were also looking at him, so he could only swallow the words of refusal, and sighed secretly, "Okay, okay, you can take me to see it." ”
"Hahaha, rest assured, the quality of my weapons is absolutely guaranteed. Severnda laughed as he led the madman to the weapons cart he was dragging behind.
"Hey~ It's really aggrieved, I was going to rob it, but now I have to pay for it myself, hey~" Crazy Te smiled bitterly and walked behind Saiwen, looking back at Lianhua and the others while walking.
"What a profiteer. Lianhua looked at Saiwen's back and said, and after saying this, she stepped into the carriage and entered the carriage with Lucy.
"Well, it's treacherous. Jane nodded in agreement, and the second entered the carriage.
Ryder didn't speak, just smiled and followed behind Jane.
Li Ao, who only had a questioning face, "???"
In the carriage, Lucy looked at Lianhua who came in and couldn't help but ask, "How did Mr. Saiwen become a profiteer?"
Lianhua had just used the pupil power of the giant snake and was now a little tired, looking at Lucy's puzzled expression, she stretched out a hand and gently rubbed it on Lucy's head, "Think for yourself." With that, he sat down and closed his eyes.
