As soon as he entered the town, a shabby book appeared in front of Gu Qingshan.
It looked at Gu Qingshan and said in a hoarse voice: "All VIPs can enter the black market directly. Only you newcomers need to be explained and diverted by me."
"That would be troublesome." Gu Qingshan said.
The old book swayed twice and said: "This is my job, so you don't need to thank me - then, let's get started now."
It cleared its throat and said, "Which force are you from?"
"...I don't belong to anyone."
"I already know what happened at the door just now," said the old book. "In other words, you are a guy without a backer and an unlucky guy - really pitiful."
"..."
"So, as a guy who comes to the black market alone, what coin number do you bring with you?"
"I--"
Gu Qingshan paused.
I don't have any money.
There was only one box of No. 7 coins, which also paid for the shipping fee.
Now I can be said to be penniless.
It was great to throw the box of money out at the time, but now it was immediately embarrassing.
Judging from the attitude of this book, I am afraid that if I say that I have no money, I will be kicked out directly.
Gu Qingshan bit the bullet and said: "I use the No. 7 coin. Well, I have a box of money like this."
The old book sighed and said disdainfully: "Coin No. 7? It's really pitiful for such an old man to still use such low-level coins."
"I have no choice, why don't I come to the black market to look for opportunities?" Gu Qingshan followed the words.
The old book said: "I will give you two suggestions. First, you can just stroll around the town. Buying just one thing will cost you all your money;"
"Second, go to the left. Six hundred meters away is our black market labor dispatch center. You can take some money-making jobs there - but we don't approve of working alone, because the world is too big and there are many jobs. Progress is slow, so we expect people who take jobs to be very efficient."
"So if you are willing to participate in labor and get paid, it is best to find a few people there, organize them together, and jointly accept the assignment of tasks from the black market."
Gu Qingshan asked doubtfully: "Why don't you agree to fight alone? Ordinarily, those powerful professionals can accomplish many things by themselves."
The old book asked rhetorically: "Do those powerful professionals still need to earn low wages for these simple tasks?"
"..."
Gu Qingshan was blocked by one sentence.
"In this town, there are no such powerful people," the old book went on to explain: "Unless you can get enough money, or complete the corresponding tasks, and gain the qualification to enter the black market - there are some tasks there. It’s reserved for a single person, and it pays a lot of money, but the requirements are also very high.”
Gu Qingshan sighed and said: "Okay, thank you very much, I'll go take a look right away."
"Go ahead. Since you have read so many books along the way, I will give you a piece of advice."
"Speaking."
"Do not trust anyone."
"I understand, thank you."
Gu Qingshan turned around and walked towards the labor dispatch center of the black market.
At this time, he was already a little anxious.
Yun Ji relied on the power of the divine crystal to temporarily maintain her vitality.
There was no telling when she would die.
He must enter the black market as soon as possible to find a way to cure her.
But now he is completely impoverished.
According to Wang Cheng's memory, among all the worlds, only widely recognized treasures can be exchanged for currency.
The spiritual stones on his body are not even qualified to be exchanged for currency.
If you want to get enough money, you can sell the black branch, but unfortunately you don't have the money to conduct the corresponding item appraisal.
This black branch came from his own fate. Gu Qingshan had no intention of touching it with his own hands, otherwise if something happened, it would be too late to regret it.
Without touching it with your hands, you cannot use the Ares system to identify it.
So I am still a pauper.
Gu Qingshan couldn't help but sigh again.
How did you get to this point?
While thinking, he had already walked to the labor dispatch center.
Everything here is quite clear - it's all written on the wall outside the dispatch center.
Gu Qingshan looked at it carefully.
It is exactly the same as what the old book said, only more specific.
There are no single player missions.
Only temporary teams can receive some simple tasks.
The quest level for a fixed team is a little harder and the rewards are much better.
However, as a new entrant, you must complete a temporary team task before you are eligible to join the permanent team.
This is a test for newcomers.
——If you can't even complete the simple tasks of the temporary team, then don't think about anything else and just go home.
As Gu Qingshan was watching, a voice suddenly came to his mind.
"Hello, are you a newbie?"
He turned to look.
He saw a handsome young man looking at him with a smile.
"How do you know?" Gu Qingshan asked.
"Because except for the newcomers, no one else will read this labor dispatch description." The young man said.
"so?"
"So we are also looking for people to form a temporary team to do tasks in exchange for rewards."
"How many people do you have?"
"Three."
"Three is enough. With three people, we can form a team to take on the mission."
"We want the mission to be more efficient, so we look forward to teaming up with one more person."
"What mission?"
"Collection of surface materials."
Gu Qingshan looked towards the other wall.
There were people crowded under that wall, all staring intently at the tasks that kept popping up on the wall.
Gu Qingshan ignored these people and searched on the wall.
He quickly discovered the task of collecting surface materials.
Even among temporary tasks, this is one of the simpler ones among all.
It's not dangerous, it just takes some energy.
The pay is also meager.
So even if it is a temporary team, no team is willing to take on such a task.
Gu Qingshan thought for a while and made a decision quickly.
...Forget it, since it’s the first mission, it’s better to just do this.
A temporary team task that can help you quickly become familiar with the task process.
In this way, there will be no conflict with other temporary teams, and the task can be completed quickly.
After completing this, you will be qualified to join a fixed team. You can rely on your combat ability to find a fixed team, participate in some of the most difficult tasks, and obtain relatively generous rewards.
With money, you can enter the black market faster.
"Where are your companions?" Gu Qingshan asked.
The boy gestured toward the crowd.
Soon, a beautiful girl and an imposing young man came over.
They stood still in front of Gu Qingshan.
Gu Qingshan looked at them and couldn't help but take a breath.
They looked so young, as if they were eighteen or nineteen years old - which is exactly what they were.
I'm afraid they don't have any strong strength, otherwise they wouldn't take on the simplest task.
"You are too young." Gu Qingshan said hesitantly.
After hearing this, the three teenagers looked at him strangely, as if they were looking at a fool.
"Why do you think we are young? You are obviously about the same age as us."
The beautiful girl asked in confusion.
Gu Qingshan slapped his forehead.
Yes, he completely forgot that due to his rebirth, he is only a young man of about twenty years old now.
The two men and one woman seemed to sense the meaning in his eyes.
Another young man said: "Don't underestimate people. We are actually very powerful. It's just that this task requires four people to complete it faster, so we found you."
"Okay, I'll join." Gu Qingshan said.
The two men and one woman looked at each other and showed joy.
They immediately took Gu Qingshan to register as a temporary team, and then took over the task.
Soon, the four of them had packed up and set off.
At first, they wanted to rent a cheap flying vehicle, but they gave up until Gu Qingshan pointed out that the reward for the mission was not enough to rent a flying vehicle.
Then the boys and girls clamored to have dinner together first.
Gu Qingshan pointed out the time limit requirements on the mission description to them, and then they realized - it turned out that they were taking a time-limited mission!
Before setting off, the beautiful girl suddenly found that her scimitar was missing.
Several people helped her recall and analyze it, and finally discovered that she had casually placed the scimitar beside the tree behind them.
In short, the four of them finally left the town in a hurry and headed towards the mission destination.
Gu Qingshan already felt a little regretful at this time.
However, if you have accepted the task and give up midway, you will be marked as an untrustworthy newcomer.
He had no choice but to continue walking with the team.
——Yes, that imposing young man led everyone and walked for about twenty minutes, but Gu Qingshan noticed something was wrong.
After several people stopped and analyzed the map carefully, they realized that they were walking in the opposite direction.
Next, everyone agreed that Gu Qingshan would lead the team.
Finally we reached the end of the field.
Fortunately, the task is really simple.
The labor dispatch center gave them four material cards and asked them to hold one card each and conduct detection and material collection around four fixed areas.
When a person's task is completed, the material card in his hand will make a soft sound.
After the four cards have collected the materials, it means the mission is completed and they can return.
Gu Qingshan held the card assigned to him and walked through a vast desert in accordance with the mission requirements.
When he reached the required end point, the card in his hand made a soft sound.
Gu Qingshan turned the card over and placed it in front of his eyes to observe carefully.
I saw a sand dune appearing on the originally blank card.
Two lines of small words appeared below the dune:
"Eastern hills, fifth division northeast of the 22nd district."
“The geomorphological features of the area have been collected.”
after awhile.
Several others have also completed their collection.
The four of them gathered together and handed all the cards to Gu Qingshan.
Gu Qingshan was about to take everyone back, but found that three of the four cards were still blank.
After careful questioning, he realized that the three people had taken a shortcut.
Their reasoning is that it will be much more efficient.
Gu Qingshan didn't express that he was tired, he just pointed at the task description and patiently explained to the three of them the reasons why they couldn't take shortcuts.
The three of them suddenly realized.
By the time they hurried to complete the task, it was completely dark.
The mission time limit has expired.
mission failed.
Gu Qingshan was stunned on the spot.
He never thought that such a simple task would be done like this.
Seeing that everyone was a little downcast, Gu Qingshan calmed down and finally encouraged: "Yes, everyone has completed the task perfectly. As long as we learn lessons next time, we will definitely do better."
Next, he said many words of encouragement, which finally allowed the three of them to gradually get rid of their disappointment.
It was finally time to return.
Gu Qingshan sighed silently in his heart and led the way back.
After taking a few steps, I saw no movement behind me.
He looked back.
I saw three teenagers standing there, looking at him silently.
"What's wrong?" Gu Qingshan asked.
At this time, he had put aside his previous failure and said with a gentle smile.
Among the three of them, the girl who was the prettiest and looked the most innocent stepped forward.
She glanced at Gu Qingshan secretly, with anxiety and fear written all over her face.
"I..." The girl hesitated to speak.
Gu Qingshan encouraged: "It's okay. If you have any questions, just tell me directly."
"Really?" The girl looked at him hopefully.
"Well, you have to be brave. In fact, you must communicate in time when something happens. Otherwise, if you don't say anything, I don't know what you are going to do." Gu Qingshan slowed down his voice and continued.
Another long day passed——
The girl finally got up the courage.
She raised her machete and said timidly towards Gu Qingshan: "That... robbery."
