In the following days, the newly formed Fool Adventure Group fell into an endless sea of commissions.
Except for the salted fish king who was only in name, the other four people turned into mission masters in the next few days. They almost traveled all over the country in Fenghua Town to get the trivial things backlogged in the Adventurers Association. .
They didn't want to do this at first. Among the several commissions-or tasks they selected, those seemingly beautiful tasks did not provide any good rewards in the end. There was a mission to patrol the surrounding areas of Fenghua Town on behalf of the city guard, but what he got in the end was just a word from the city guard captain.
"Not bad, not bad! He has saved us a lot of things. He is indeed a capable adventurer. That idiot Richard is really lucky! By the way, do you want to join our city guard? Oh, yes, You are already the lackeys of the Adventurers Association, so we don’t want you anymore. What a pity! Hahahaha..."
It seems that Uncle Richard and this captain have some personal grudges, and now they are blamed...
They once helped a merchant deliver goods from the southeast gate of Fenghua Town to the northeast gate. Although the journey was not far, because it was pure manual labor, several people were already exhausted when they moved there. Xi lies down.
They received 120 Ebris for this.
"I know now what a great profession... porters... are..."
"Me too......"
"Ouch, my old waist... at such an old age, I still have to do such physical work..."
"This is a game, uncle, don't scare yourself..."
The four people shared the money equally, which was enough for them to eat for a day in Fenghua Town. In order to prevent themselves from starving to death, they had no choice but to drag their tired bodies and continue to choose other tasks to do - for the development of the adventure group, for the possible rewards of the tasks, and for themselves.
But fortunately, there are experience points.
In the past two days, relying on the meager experience of completing the commissioned gifts, Duan Qing has actually risen two levels. Now he is level 24 and has two remaining attribute points. But except for his 15 points of strength, his other attributes have not increased at all.
Mengzhu has also reached level 23, but she is not as far-sighted as Duan Qing and has used up all the points, so now she has 16 points of strength and 10 points of agility. As for intelligence and spirit, there is no increase at all and they are still at the initial level. 6 and 5 points - she is not a fan of the legal profession and has no interest in that aspect at all.
Although Mengzhu was stronger than Duan Qing in terms of attribute strength, she was far behind in terms of gaming experience, so when Duan Qing summoned the team members after a few missions, she did not object.
"Let's take a rest first and sum up our experience. Brother Hongchen, how is the mission to find Filar?"
"That guy who is addicted to gambling probably lost his pants, so he found a place to hide. I visited all the places around here that can entertain people, and I didn't find a single suspicious figure... "
For some reason, Xiao Hongchen didn't take off his helmet even when he scratched his head, so his action produced a harsh sound of nails rubbing against metal.
"Okay." Duan Qing took out his uncomfortable ears, and then handed him two pages: "I'll give you these two more. One is to find a kid named David, Bor from the Huaying Residence. It is said that many people were mobilized to search for the missing person for several days, and finally they were all found by the Adventurers Association... There is also another one who is helping Miss Liya investigate... uh , the task of whether her husband is cheating on her, her suspect is Maral next door..."
"Hey! Even if you give me so many tasks, why are they all looking for people? Is there no more exciting tasks? My big ax is already hungry and thirsty!"
"Who knows you best in Fenghua Town in our group?" Duan Qing gestured around: "The three of us have just arrived a few days ago, who do you want us to find or keep an eye on? , isn’t that looking for sin..."
"Okay." Xiao Hongchen was easily convinced, but he was not a fool. The next moment he thought of a solution: "You can just find someone to follow me. I guess if you just follow me for two days, you can You will become more familiar with the road, and you will be able to replace me when the time comes..."
"We all have our own tasks." Duan Qing interrupted him: "But if this momentum continues, we will all be acquaintances in Fenghua Town in a few days... If you don't want to do it, you can find more Join our group personally, or ask Salted Fish King to help you..."
"I can't talk to him, hehe..." Xiao Hongchen touched his nose and then stopped talking.
"Uncle, just take on the job of these guards. I hope it will be easier." Duan Qing patted the smiling butcher again, and the latter smiled lightly: "What guards, they just help those uncles and aunts see things... ....I’m not tired at all.”
"Any new discoveries?"
"No. But... it should work."
"That's good." Duan Qing nodded, then patted the remaining pages in his hand and said slowly: "Leave the rest to me and Mengzhu."
"Gathering full-moon grass and black iron ore. It is said that this black iron ore is difficult to find... Well, I am working as a storekeeper at Shela Grocery Store and Qiyun Bakery... Oh yes, there is also the filing of documents in the town hall, Mengzhu, would you like to...Okay, I understand, you don't want to."
Duan Qing took out a few pieces of paper and handed them to Mengzhu: "Then you...responsible for looking after the store. Leave the collection tasks to me. I've been digging for several days anyway."
"There are only four of us, and we are very busy. Even if we don't eat or drink, we can't complete all these tasks. And many of the tasks in it seem to be time-limited. After tomorrow, it is probably useless to go there. Yes. So..."
Duan Qing looked at the other three people: "I have arranged our respective tasks as reasonably as possible, so that everyone can do as many as they can within their capabilities. According to my experience, we only need to insist on this kind of support. Just do it your own way, the reward is not important, the important thing is... building a good relationship."
"Now that friendship has arrived, can rewards be far behind?" Duan Qing showed his teeth and put on a white smile.
"I hope your plan will be of some use..." the little girl whispered.
"Well, you have to have confidence in me." Duan Qing said, "Believe me, this world is fair. Our efforts... will not be in vain."
*********************
Hard work paid off, and it didn't take long for the adventure group to get their first substantial harvest.
It was something brought back by the smiling butcher. He helped the person look at the goods for several days and finally received a thank you from the person.
[Clothes drying pole (excellent)]
[Weapon power: stronger]
[Equipment requirements: Strength 15, Agility 10]
[Jessica’s household items were discarded after breaking down. Because of the break, the iron end became very sharp. But if you want to wield this weapon, you still need a lot of strength. 】
"That warehouse seems to be a dumping ground for discarded items. Jessie has dealt with a lot in the past few days, but there are still a lot of old goods that cannot be sold. She sees that I often go to show her the place, so... .Just give me this thing that no one wants."
The smiling uncle still smiled, but Duan Qing tasted a bitter smile.
"Anyway, this thing looks like it should be quite useful." He looked at the long metal pole in his hand. It was as described, and the rings and other objects on it could still be vaguely seen. The true nature of a clothes drying pole.
But looking at the stubbled tip, it would be very painful if it was pricked...
Duan Qing put away the weapon, which he thought was a spear, and handed it to Mengzhu: "You can give this to Xiao Hongchen. I guess he likes it, otherwise... just leave it in the Adventurers Association."
The Adventurers Association is currently the temporary settlement of their team. It should have been the settlement of all adventurers. Unfortunately, until now, they are still the only "established" local adventure group. Most of the other adventure groups, that is, those guilds, will not appear there. They probably think that the Adventurer Association of Fenghua Town is too run-down and don't bother to wander here.
Of course, the Adventurers Association would not embezzle the harvest of their adventure group, so Duan Qing unceremoniously used it as a temporary warehouse, although so far, there is nothing valuable worth saving.
Not long after, when Xiao Hongchen met them, he also brought something.
[Noble vestments (excellent)]
[Defense ability: weak]
[Intelligence +1, Spirit +1]
[Equipment requirements: Intelligence 15, Spirit 10]
[According to legend, it is the standard clothing of ancient nobles. It not only shows the glory of the nobles, but also has good spell coordination and spell affinity. However, judging from the feedback from several noble mages, the effect is far less effective than the legend. 】
"Liya's husband gave me this dress in order to silence me." It seems that Xiao Hongchen's matter has made progress, but he doesn't look very happy: "It is said that this is his collection, and he is very fond of me." I swear that this piece of clothing is the equipment that every mage dreams of nowadays..."
"What, you actually found out about his cheating?"
"Stop talking, I don't want to mention this..." Xiao Hongchen was rarely full of passion, but looked tired: "I don't want to be that kind of man..."
"...Tsk, tsk, tsk, I didn't expect you to be an innocent man." Duan Qing shook his head and sighed: "Uncle Smiling got a weapon, do you want to use it?"
"What kind of weapon! Let me see... uh, it's so ugly..."
"It's good if it's useful. It's better than your big ax."
"You don't understand. It doesn't matter whether the weapon is strong or not. What's important is whether it's handsome or not! How can you use a weapon that's not handsome? Look at my big ax. It's clumsy and simple, but at the same time it doesn't lack strength. ..."
"Really? Why do I think it's just that you don't have any other useful weapons..."
"Stop talking nonsense! Do you really want me to be a spearman? Do you know that being a spearman means you will be unlucky?"
"Where to start..."
"I don't know. Anyway, someone told me..."
On the third day, Duan Qing and Mengzhu also gained something, and this harvest seemed to be much better than before.
[Black Iron Shield (Excellent)]
[Defense ability: strong]
[Equipment requirements: Strength 16, Agility 7]
[Special effect: When you successfully use a blocking skill, there is a certain chance that the damage you receive will be reduced by 20%]
["Produced with honor by Fenghua Town Blacksmith Shop."]
"After running so many times for those big and fat people, it was not in vain." Duan Qing, who came back, drank a few sips of water first, and then took a breath: "I guess if I run for the people of 'Shuoxinghua' for a few more days, it should be enough." What can be gained..."
"There are still many good people in this world." He sighed, and then handed the dark round shield to the smiling uncle: "Take a look, do you want to use it?"
"Is it appropriate to just give it to me...?"
"What's inappropriate about this? It seems like you are the only one using the shield in our group right now." Duan Qing pointed to the others, although apart from him, only Xiao Hongchen was here: "Isn't this the default principle of distribution? You are the only one. If you don’t use it, give it to someone else...Have you changed the rules in the past two years?"
The other two shook their heads.
"Then it's over." Duan Qing thrust it into the helpless uncle's hands: "Of course, it's your problem whether you want to use it or not. After all, the shield in your hand may be better than this..."
"Haha, it's okay." The uncle smiled again: "Then I'll accept it..."
"Hey, comrades!" The door was pushed open with a bang, and Mengzhu's cheerful voice rang out: "Look what I got... Hey, are you sharing the spoils?"
"Well, I got a shield and gave it to the uncle." Duan Qing shrugged indifferently, and the little girl said "oh" and then became excited again: "The owner of the grocery store finally gave me something! Look You see..."
【Shaela's Secret Medicine】
[Use: In a short period of time, your physical strength recovery speed will increase. 】
[The secret medicine developed by the owner of Sheela Grocery Store is said to have not appeared on the market for some unknown reason. There are rumors in Fenghua Town that this is caused by some bad ingredients contained in this medicine. 】
"This medicine..." Several people's eyes widened: "It's a bit powerful..."
"I guess if you sell it in an auction house, you'll probably be robbed."
"Is there such a thing as an auction house in this world?"
"Yes, there are, but they don't exist here. You can only find them if you go to a bigger city..."
"It's awesome!" The little girl stood beside her with her hands on her hips, looking proud and excited: "Since I started guarding that store, I didn't expect to receive anything in return. Wow, wow, I'm so touched. Already..."
"Although the actual effect still needs to be verified... But let's forget it for now, I have a very important question." Duan Qing asked seriously: "Can you learn to make this medicine?"
"Ah?" Mengzhu looked a little confused: "I don't know how to learn pharmacy, how could I learn it..."
"Or you can get this formula." Duan Qing said with an upright face: "I cheated or stole it... Ouch, ouch, don't fight, don't fight, my health has dropped by 8%... ..”
"Uncle..." The little girl's eyes almost sparkled at the long-lost address: "Is this called studying? This is clearly stealing, okay? Who do you think I am! Aunt Xie La is obviously such a good person..."
After some fighting, several people sat together again, summarizing their experiences over the past few days and discussing the next step.
"It seems that this strategy is still very correct." The smiling butcher nodded: "The relationship building method still applies here, and... the returns are much better than in Novice Village."
"The key is to be sincere. Well, to put it in words you can understand, it means to be brave." Duan Qing crossed his arms and ignored the big bag on his head: "The next words... .Should we put training on the agenda?”
The best task they had picked out before - that training task, now they think that if they can participate, they might be able to get a lot of benefits. But this is not the reason why they value it. There is only one reason why they value this commission so much: the name of the bald man Kidd is written on the signature of the commission.
"Since we are old friends, we naturally have to take a look." Duan Qing said: "If we delay it any longer, the final time limit will pass and we need to make a decision."
"There's no need to ask! Of course I'm participating! Not to mention training, even if it's on the battlefield..."
"If we can build this relationship, it should be helpful for our future adventures. At least there should be something going on on the trade road in Greenstone Village, and we might be able to get involved..."
"I definitely agree. The bald man is such a good person... and there may be good rewards!"
"Okay." Seeing the positive statements from several people, Duan Qing clapped his hands and said, "Then don't worry about the Salted Fish King."
"The vote was unanimous, we will participate."
