The red-haired girl said calmly: "You are now a one-star hunter and can only clean the sewers."
Isn't it?
Then why did I bother to run out?
Rhodes glared at her: "How much does it cost to upgrade to two stars?"
Perhaps his tone was a bit unkind, a tall man shouted: "That guy, don't embarrass A Duo, the rules are the rules. If you don't accept it, go find the old man to beat him."
Rhodes glanced at him, and the guy knocked on the table with his wine glass.
"Iron Wolf Wade says hello to you, and wishes you a full warehouse as soon as possible and a peaceful retirement."
No harm intended, this is probably a common greeting.
Rhodes forced a smile, took a breath, calmed down, and said to the red-haired girl: "I'm sorry, Miss A'duo, how can I be promoted back to the second star?"
A'duo smiled kindly: "It's okay, Mr. Dawn Blade, I understand your mood very well. You now need to complete twenty-seven sewer missions before you can return to the two-star hunter."
Twenty-seven.
Rhodes was silent for a few seconds.
The guy shouted again: "Don't complain. Since you have enjoyed the rights of a hunter, you should also bear the obligations of a hunter. Trolian does not live for free. When they were fighting bloody battles on the front line, you were nowhere to be seen."
Rhodes ignored him and said to A'duo: "Bring me the tasks, I'll take them all."
This sentence attracted all the hunters who were drinking, and Rhodes instantly felt dozens of eyes on him.
A'duo said in surprise: "Mr. Dawn Blade, do you want to take on all sewer missions?"
"Yes."
"However, if you accept the task, others will not be able to accept it. If you fail to complete it within the time limit, you will be held responsible for maliciously accepting the task, or even guilty."
"Don't worry, I know I can do it."
A'duo said in disbelief: "But, these are thirty-four missions, and the shortest one only has three days left..."
Rhodes said a little impatiently: "I have special sewer cleaning skills. I can complete these tasks in one night."
"Really?"
Aduo still looked a little unconvinced.
"Are you sure you can finish? You can pick up four or five first."
Rhodes said impatiently: "Do you know what the Sewer King is?"
"All right."
A'duo didn't hesitate anymore and quickly sorted out the thirty-four mission briefings and handed them to Rhodes.
"I wish you success in your mission, and may the fire be with you all the way."
When Rhodes walked out of the tavern, there was still a slight roar of laughter.
No one believed that this new guy could clean thirty-four sewers in one night.
Rhodes was not interested in explaining to them.
To him, the sewer is no different from his own back garden. He is already familiar with what kind of monsters there may be in any place and how to deal with them most efficiently.
The complicated sewer route was no obstacle to him either.
As long as he doesn't go deep, Rhodes can fly freely inside.
Twenty-seven and thirty-four made no difference to him.
But since I have decided to go, let’s just clear it all at once.
Although he doesn't want to admit it, Rhodes is indeed a unique sewer cleaner.
It is not afraid of sneak attacks, will not lose its direction, and can accurately deal with various monsters that are not strong but very troublesome.
For example, the plague rats are hated by all combatants.
This kind of monster has a large number, fast speed, small target, and is infected by plague. Once surrounded, it will be very troublesome. It has always been known as the king-level monster in the sewer.
And Rhodes could always discover their location in advance, and then wrap an energy-filled thunder stone with filth and throw it over.
Some rats carry it back to their nests as feces.
If you're lucky, a thunder stone can clear out a plague rat nest.
When Rhodes was in the sewers, the ones he killed the most were plague rats.
The most important thing is that Rhodes has no weight-bearing problems, nor is he in need of supplies, and his endurance is extremely long.
Moreover, Rhodes' financial strength is much stronger than when he first entered the sewer.
At least there are enough real silver bullets and thunderstone pipes.
Along the way, Rhodes was pushing sideways like a bulldozer.
It only takes him three to four quarters of an hour to solve a task in one block. Then he can rush to the next block by leaving hunter marks and recording images as required by the mission briefing.
Thirty-four missions, from thirty-four blocks, just cleared all the way.
As a man who memorized all the sewer maps, he easily solved the postman problem in the mission.
Sauron's training also showed great effect. Rhodes' movements and speed were dozens of times faster than before. He could even kill some low-level monsters with his bare hands.
Even the handjob is much faster. He is now close to the structural limit of the spiritual gun, and he has also developed the unique skill of shooting and loading at the same time.
When the battle was fierce, the gun almost smoked from his shots.
At noon the next day, Rhodes returned to the Hunter branch and handed over the photo crystal and thirty-four mission briefings.
"mission completed."
A'duo quickly checked aside and was so surprised that he couldn't even close his mouth.
"Is it really done?"
"Thirty-four tasks, seven hours!"
For a moment, A'duo was so moved that she almost cried, and the formulaic expression had long since disappeared from her face.
"Oh my god, are you the fire sect who came to save me? I am no longer the head of the hunter branch who can't even clean a sewer."
As she cried, she quickly processed the mission briefing, her slender fingers sliding rapidly on a crystal touch screen under the counter.
A large rectangular crystal on the wall behind him lit up, and each task was quickly marked with the word completed.
The one who completed it was his codename "Blade of Dawn".
Aduo's joy +101
Humanity +10
Rhodes scratched his head and didn't understand why she was so moved by him just cleaning a sewer.
And this psychic technology is simply incredible.
No wonder none of them cared about electromagnetism and developed some mechanics.
Looking back, everyone in the tavern seemed to be petrified.
The iron wolf Wade who mocked him yesterday opened his mouth wide and stared at the crystal on the wall with bulging eyes. He even forgot to eat the butter beef on his lips. It slipped from the fork and fell into his crotch.
"Ouch!"
While Iron Wolf was licking his crotch, Rhodes asked: "Miss A'duo, is there any suitable task for me now?"
A'duo's face was red, and there were still tears in the corners of his eyes. He said softly: "Mr. Dawn Blade, you can call me by my name directly."
Rhodes hesitated and shouted: "Aduo."
A'duo asked softly: "Can I know your name?"
Rhodes was silent for a few seconds and did not choose to tell his real name. If the college knew that he was working secretly, it would be a bit troublesome.
"My name is Sauron."
A'duo showed a sincere smile: "So, two-star hunter Sauron, what kind of mission do you want?"
Rhodes said directly: "I want to hunt powerful monsters."
A'duo didn't look at the thick mission briefing in her hand, but looked thoughtful.
"Sorry, Sauron, can you tell me your combat level?"
Rhodes is a ninth-level combatant, but he definitely can't report like this. He thought for a while and said:
"Level seven."
A'duo's big eyes suddenly widened.
"You look so young and you are already a seventh-level combatant?"
Rhodes was shocked, I was obviously dressed old enough, am I still young?
Aren't all their squad leaders at level seven?
A'duo came closer and asked in a low voice: "Why don't you stay in the legion and develop?"
Just when Rhodes didn't know how to explain, A'duo suddenly covered his mouth and said repeatedly: "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have asked."
But her bright eyes were full of unstoppable smiles.
"Sauron, you are a two-star hunter. High-threat tasks are not allowed. However, you can do this by joining the team. However, if there is a big gap between the task level and your star level, it cannot be accumulated. Experience increases star rating.”
Rhodes nodded. As long as he can participate in the hunt, the hunter's star rating is not that important.
Aduo raised his voice.
"Iron Wolf, come here, your last teammate has been found."
Iron Wolf, who had a piece of butter in his crotch, walked over with a gloomy look on his face and glanced at Rhodes.
"A'duo, you're not talking about him, are you?"
A'duo said seriously: "Iron Wolf, he is a seventh-level combatant."
Iron Wolf looked at him suspiciously.
"Really?"
"Soren won't lie. He completed thirty-four sewer tasks in seven hours."
This record made Tie Lang shut his mouth.
If it were him, seven hours would be enough for him to take on a new mission - rescuing combatants lost in the sewers, or destroying new monsters that appeared in the sewers.
But he didn't agree immediately.
This "Blade of Dawn" is instantly recognizable as a newly purchased hunter's license. No one knows what kind of strength he has and whether he can deceive others.
He also had a disguise on his face, hiding his head and showing his tail, which was very suspicious.
"Are you a spirit fire or a star fire?" Iron Wolf decided to find out his details before deciding whether to want him or not.
Rhodes replied: "Starfire."
"How many fires have you lit?"
"Four."
"what is it call?"
Rhodes hesitated. The name Black Rice Tong was so iconic that he could immediately be associated with him.
Iron Wolf Wade said impatiently: "Just tell me what abilities you have."
Rhodes thought for a while and replied: "I have very high spiritual vision, can use a huge psychic cannon, can summon a spirit boat, have the ability to cut souls, and have a strong psychic recovery ability."
Iron Wolf glanced at him slightly suspiciously.
But generally speaking, hunters will not falsely report their abilities, because this will directly cause themselves and the team to fall into crisis and put their lives at risk.
"What is your psychic level and maximum psychic strength?"
"Psychic power level three, maximum psychic power strength 2.1 thousand ticks."
"Too low." Tie Lang shook his head, "It doesn't look like a seventh-level combatant, but more like a newly graduated student."
Rhodes was stunned. I'm a freshman. Did I graduate after just a few months of enrollment?
But he couldn't say that. He thought for a while and replied: "But my actual combat ability is very strong, and my spiritual power cannot represent everything."
Tie Lang shook his head: "Sorry, I'm a psionic sect. I really can't believe someone with low psionic power."
Before Rhodes could think of what to say, Aduo spoke first.
"Iron Wolf, he did thirty-four sewer missions in seven hours."
Tie Lang's face darkened.
This is indeed an irrefutable record. With the photo crystal and hunter mark, it is basically impossible to fake it.
But he still pondered and said nothing. As a hunter captain, it is very important to accurately judge the strength of his team members.
Each captain has his own preferences and details, and he's particularly focused on psionics.
A'duo continued: "He has a calm mind, keen observation, outstanding reasoning ability, and is good at tracking and discovering small details. He is an excellent hunter."
Tie Lang asked doubtfully: "How did you know?"
A bright smile appeared on Aduo's face.
"I saw it from his image crystal. Without such qualities, how could he accomplish thirty-four sewer missions in seven hours?"
Tie Lang suppressed his face until his face turned red, and he couldn't say a word of objection.
A'duo continued: "He also has superhuman memory, can remember complicated sewer routes, has strong deductive reasoning ability, can discover the type and activity range of monsters from subtle traces, has a keen sense of smell and superb wisdom. I will never let a monster go..."
"Okay, okay."
Iron Wolf raised his hands in surrender.
"I agreed."
Only then did Aduo smile.
"Tie Lang, I knew you were the best. Here, I'll treat you to this cup of long silk milk tea."
She placed a cup of hot milk tea in front of him and secretly winked at Rhodes.
Tie Lang drank the milk tea melancholy and reached out to Rhodes.
"Welcome to the team. I am Iron Wolf Wade, a five-star hunter, a seventh-level combatant, a fifth-level psychic, with a psychic strength of twenty-one thousand moments. I am Spirit Fire. My soul characteristic is greening. I am good at the front position in tactical positions. "
After listening to the conversation, Rhodes realized how big the loopholes in his words were.
They are both seventh-level combatants, but their spiritual strength is ten times different.
No wonder he didn't believe it.
Also, my spiritual power is improving too slowly. I must find a star that can quickly improve my spiritual power.
After shaking hands, Iron Wolf's attitude obviously changed.
"Blade of Dawn, our mission was issued by the mayor of Qingcao Town. He suspected that a monster nest appeared nearby, but could not find the location. Some industries in the town were destroyed. It was initially judged that the threat level may exceed the protection of the town. Or, due to scheduling problems, on the advice of the Military War Department, they sent a mercenary mission to the Hunter Headquarters, so this mission may be very troublesome, do you understand?"
"Green Gourd Sword Fairy"
Rhodes nodded.
"There are four people in the team. We will set off at dusk and gather at the East City Gate. There are still three hours left. You can go and prepare. Let's check the time now."
Iron Wolf took out his pocket watch, checked the time with Rhodes, and left in a hurry.
But Rhodes did not go out immediately. He suddenly thought of some questions and wanted to ask the person in charge of this hunter branch.
Aduo poured him a cup of black tea with a smile.
"Here, Sauron, ask whatever you want to ask."
now.
In the secret branch base of Jinworth College, the real Sauron sneezed.
"It's strange, why my physique has become weaker. Well, it must be because I have seen too much of this kind of thing."
He put down the photo crystal in his hand and planned to discuss the education issues of the students with Dean Vera and Chief Khalil.
