"All units, start absorbing the wasteland and stack the collected corpses at the gate!" As soon as Commander Plas roared, everyone began to take action quickly.
After a while, all the goblin corpses piled up a hill at the gate of Shenmu Town.
"Thank you all for your hard work. Please send the Goblin Wise Man, Giant Goblin and some more complete corpses to my laboratory. The rest of the loot is at your disposal."
Akan Hayes gave instructions to Plath's guards, and then returned to the town with his hands behind his back.
"What are you doing standing still? Hurry up and count the loot and move the bodies!"
Plath roared angrily, and when he saw all the guards taking action, he trotted anxiously to Musta's side.
"Musta, how are my two men doing?"
"Not too optimistic, but I have arranged for the doctor to perform internal surgery in time, and it may have started by now."
"Thank you very much."
"Siwen! I leave this place to you!"
"No problem, Chief Plath."
After explaining this, Plath returned to Shenmu Town without looking back.
"Statistician Leonard, please report the overall casualties and enemy kills."
Siwen said to a silver-armored guard who was watching the whole process and holding a notepad.
"Report to Captain Siwen, Chenxing Expedition Team, 1 injured, 2 seriously injured, 0 dead; Shenmu Town Guard, 8 injured, 0 seriously injured, 0 dead; Chenxing Stalker Team, 27 injured, seriously injured 0 people, 0 deaths; 417 Goblins killed, 1 Giant Goblin, 1 Goblin Wise Man, report completed!"
"Good! All units are now available, start collecting loot!"
"receive!"
................................................................. ...
By the time all the trophies and corpses were disposed of, it was already nighttime, and the hub hall was packed with guards and Chenxing stalkers, including Chen Yao and his party.
"In addition to the basic merit value of 30 for each person participating in this operation, additional contribution rewards are now announced."
Plath held the notepad in Leonard's hand before and said loudly.
"Chenxing Stalker Qiu Yunxi, come forward!"
Qiu Yunxi came out of the queue and silently walked to the front of the queue.
"Qiu Yunxi, killed the wise goblin, assisted in killing the giant goblin, and eliminated most of the remote goblins. He was the first contributor to this operation. He will be rewarded with 80 merit points. You can redeem it immediately! Now, please Show me your hunting certificate!"
Qiu Yunxi took out his hunting certificate and handed it to Plath. Plath put the hunting certificate on the cylindrical metal stand. There was only a beep sound, and the entry of 110 merit points was completed.
"Thank you for your contribution to Shenmu Town!"
Plath handed the hunting certificate back to Qiu Yunxi, and then gave her a standard Chenxing military salute, which was different from the normal Chenxing etiquette...
After Qiu Yunxi entered the queue, Plath began a new reading.
"Chenxing Stalker Chenyao, step forward!"
"Chen Yao, wiped out more than a hundred goblins, assisted in killing the Goblin Wise Man, and is the second contributor to this operation. The reward is 60 merit points. You can redeem it immediately! Please show your Stalker Certificate now!"
After the same process, Chen Yao also received 90 merit points, followed by Jiang Hu and Qiu Yueli. Due to their outstanding combat and treatment performance, they also received a total of 70 merit points.
"Now the distribution of the spoils begins. Goblin Wise, the one who killed him is Qiu Yunxi, so he gets the Goblin Wise's spoils. The giant Goblin killer is the guard captain Siwen..."
After some distribution, Chen Yao and his team received a total of 100 Goblin trophies and item bags, as well as the unique trophies and item bags of the Goblin Wise Man.
As soon as the announcement meeting at the hub ended, Chen Yao exchanged one hundred Goblin trophies with Miaomiao for 30 merit points, and the unique Goblin Wise Man trophy was exchanged for a full 10 merit points.
"Wow! So many goblins are dying, meow~"
"Well, don't you mind? All these achievements will be recorded with me."
Chen Yao's face is also unusually thick.
"You can just take it. You gave me this bow anyway."
Qiu Yunxi looked indifferent.
"Ah~ I didn't do anything! I just treated everyone."
"Yes, big brother, I'll give it to you anyway."
"Okay, let's go have a nice meal then?"
Chen Yao was happy with this.
"No need to waste so much, go to Uncle Musta's place to eat! I miss uncle's craftsmanship...hehe."
"Okay, let's go then."
As soon as they arrived at the Big Bird Tavern, they saw Musta locking the door.
"Uncle Mu, are you closing so early today?"
"Hey, I was about to go find you guys! Are we all here? If we are, we will go directly to Geraint's place for dinner."
"Well... then you go ahead, I will come with Ina later."
"OK."
After returning to the hotel and taking Ina with him, Chen Yao followed his memory and found Geraint's house on the back street. As soon as he walked to the door, Chen Yao could already smell the fragrance.
"Knock knock knock..."
The broken wooden door creaked open, and it was Saria who opened the door.
"Ah, Brother Chenyao! Everyone is waiting for you!"
"Sorry, I was delayed for a while on the way."
"Is it Chen Yao? Come in, come in!" Caitlin urged while looking at the pot.
"Okay Auntie, please do your work first."
Chen Yao entered the room. Siwen, Musta, Jiang Hu, Qiu Yunxi and Qiu Yueli were all sitting around the table, while Caitlin and his wife were busy cooking.
To be honest, the room is small and indeed a bit crowded, but the atmosphere is extremely warm.
Sitting next to Qiu Yunxi, Chen Yao took a look and saw six steaming dishes on the table.
"Pork stewed with peanuts, lamb stewed with peas, vegetable salad, butter-fried steak, vegetable egg soup, Huo, it's so rich, but what is that dish?"
Chen Yao rubbed his hands and looked at a dish that was a mixture of several ingredients with some confusion.
"What about that? Strange stew, it's a very common home-cooked dish."
Siwen explained.
"Why is it called strange stew?"
"Because this dish came from a poor family in a special period. At that time, there was nothing to eat and no seasoning. They had to borrow it from door to door and cook whatever they borrowed. Because the ingredients and seasonings borrowed were different every time, so The taste is also different, that’s where the strange flavor comes from.”
"I see..."
"The staple food is mashed potatoes and rice. Chenyao, what do you want to eat?" Geraint pointed to the two large pots on the side.
"Rice."
After everyone's main dishes were served and the couple sat down, everyone started to use chopsticks. It must be said that the housewife's cooking skills are unique.
After everyone had a full meal, Sariya followed her parents to clean up, and Siwen also chatted with Chen Yao.
"You kid, have you earned a lot of merit today?"
"Brother Siwen, does this meritorious service serve no other purpose than redeeming it in the hub hall?"
"Hey! Of course not! The main function of merit is to compete for titles. Historically, the amount of merit has been recorded. It represents your contribution in every major event. It can be said that merit is also a measure of contribution. .”
"Although the merits of different hunting certificates can be transferred in the hub hall, these merits cannot be counted as contribution merits. This part of merits is meaningless for the competition for titles."
"The merits obtained for each major event are issued after being certified and guaranteed by the local authority. If there is any fraud or reporting, the consequences will be, hehehehe..."
"So that's it." Chen Yao thought thoughtfully.
"Okay, it's getting late. I have to prepare to go back. By the way, this is for you."
Siwen took out a large cloth bag from the binding ring and placed it on the table with a clang.
This bag... is somewhat similar to the bag of goblin belongings distributed in the afternoon, only many times larger.
"That giant goblin's bag of belongings?" Chen Yao guessed it right away.
"Yes, I gave this to you. How do you like it? Your brother is so interesting!"
"Hey, thank you, Brother Siwen."
"Then I'll go back too. The tavern will be open tomorrow morning." Musta also stood up.
"Geraint, let's go first!"
"Okay, I'll meet you for a drink next time!"
"no problem!"
After Musta and Siwen left, the Geraint family also finished cleaning up soon.
"Chen Yao, is there anything else?"
Caitlin could tell Chen Yao's thoughts at a glance.
"It's no big deal. Didn't you say before that Sariya likes swordsmanship?"
"What I think is that staying in the town guard department is not an option after all, and Saria is about to graduate from the intermediate course, right?"
"It's better than this..."
Chen Yao directly took out ten wrapped gold bundles and placed them on the table.
"When Sariya's intermediate course is over, let him go to a better advanced course academy to learn swordsmanship. Only then will he have the opportunity to become a knight in the future. This will also facilitate the competition for titles in the future."
"Chen Yao! How can this be done! This is too valuable, we can't accept it! Besides, we are neither relatives nor friends..."
Geraint looked horrified. He couldn't imagine why Chen Yao would do such a thing calmly.
"Yes, Chen Yao, you have done enough for Saria and our family. Your promise has been fulfilled. You don't have to blame yourself anymore."
Caitlin stepped forward and took Chen Yao's arm, also persuading him.
"I won't stay here for long, and this money... can be regarded as my investment in Saria."
"I may also compete for a title in the future. When the time comes, it would be great if Saria can help."
Chen Yao turned to look at Sariya and asked seriously.
"Sariya, you really want to practice swordsmanship and become stronger, right?"
"Yes, Brother Chenyao, I must become stronger and stronger than anyone else!"
Chen Yao felt the determination on the girl's face and smiled in relief.
"Then it's decided. This hundred gold bindings is the cost of my investment in Saria's advanced swordsmanship course. It should be enough, right?"
"That's enough! Chen Yao, your kindness..." At this point, Geraint showed a little embarrassment on his face.
"Uncle Geraint, and Aunt Caitlin, this is an investment, you don't have to think too much, I naturally have my plans, you just need to let Saria practice with peace of mind."
"Okay, Sariya, thank you Brother Chenyao."
"Thank you, Brother Chenyao..."
"You're welcome, you must practice seriously and don't let down everyone's expectations!" Chen Yao patted the girl's thin shoulder vigorously.
"Then let's go first!"
"Okay, come again next time, Auntie will prepare delicious food for you!"
"knew."
