Chapter 136: Money Road(1/2)
Jiang Baimian also finished reading the task description and discovered his pseudonym just by accident.
Obviously, the owner of the "Virtual World" and some senior executives of "First City" have already reacted and knew that the pass commands that Marcus had mastered were stolen. They tried to drive a large number of ruined hunters through the Hunter Guild in a mission to help investigate.
Of course, this is definitely only part of the pursuit measures. Some elite military squads are likely to be invested in finding criminals for those powerful characters in the "Hand of Order".
"I only get ten thousand Aure when I catch one." Unlike the excitement of the huge reward before, Shang Jianyao is a little angry now.
His tone revealed the meaning of "the bounty is too low".
Jiang Baimian can understand where this guy's "dissatisfaction" is:
He and others got a crucial secret from the eyes of an awakened person at the "spiritual corridor" level who could create a "virtual world", and they were only offered a reward of 10,000 Ore/person.
"This is much more expensive than a ton of flour." Jiang Baimian used Qiao Chu as an example and comforted him casually.
"That's because you can get a ton of flour by giving effective clues. You have to catch this." Shang Jianyao is certainly not that easy to fool.
The difficulty of the two is simply incomparable.
On Qiao Chu's mission, the "old transfer team" could even split the information into several portions, and each portion was exchanged for a ton of flour.
——The reward for providing clues this time is divided into three levels: 50 Ore, 100 Ore, and 300 Ore.
Jiang Baimian didn't bother with this topic and reread the description of the task.
The promulgator is the "hand of order". The official organization has enough credit. They did not mention the three targets of reward because the other party contacted key protected objects in the arena and stole important secrets. They just classified Jiang Baimian, Shang Jianyao and Long Yuehong as the accomplices of the murderer of the last assassination. They suspected that they were planning a major conspiracy against "First City", so they significantly increased the amount of reward.
Well, it doesn't matter whether it is said or not to involve the secret. If you don't catch someone on the spot, it means that the secret will inevitably be leaked and it will not be stopped... "Zuchucheng" does not want to cut off the spread of information, but to figure out which forces did it, haha, and take revenge at the same time... Jiang Baimian looked at the big screen and thought steadily.
The target portrait given by "Hand of Order" comes from the camera, which is not so clear, and has been made with witnesses to make certain corrections. Shang Jianyao and Jiang Baimian have made major changes to make themselves look like Honghe people. As long as they don't meet an acquaintance in person, they are not afraid of being recognized.
Although Long Yuehong still plays a dirt man, he also acts as a disguise. Moreover, he does not even leave a pseudonym and is called the "third criminal" in the mission description.
At this time, he was waiting for the information to be printed and found the task with a bounty of a certain level.
Fortunately, the focus was on the team leader and Shang Jianyao, so he didn't describe much to me... While he was glad, he sighed at the amount of bounty:
“It’s really a lot…”
Ten thousand Aure is enough to transform a wilderness wanderer into a "decent person" who had housing and shops in the first city. As long as he can maintain stability in the future, his life will be good.
Hearing Long Yuehong's sigh, Shang Jianyao turned his head and said with a smile:
"Yes, there are quite a lot!"
While speaking, he looked at Long Yuehong up and down, as if he was counting ten thousand Aure.
If you have the ability, you hand over yourself! Long Yuehong dared not speak this time, but the surrounding environment suppressed his impulse.
There are so many ruins hunters nearby, but who knows if there are any good hearing!
Shang Jianyao withdrew his gaze and looked at Jiang Baimian:
"Do you want to take it? Anyway, there is no punishment if you can't finish it."
Jiang Baimian pondered for a moment and said with a smile:
"Yes, even if you can't catch someone, you can get some clues and get a lot of money."
"..." Long Yuehong didn't expect the team leader to agree.
"I just hope we can find effective clues before leaving the original city." Jiang Baimian added with a pretentious expression.
Long Yuehong understood this:
The team leader means that when he is about to leave the original city, he will get a few pieces of information from his own group to submit to the "Hand of Order" to extract the surplus value.
This is simply, it's so bad... Long Yuehong finally came up with an adjective after holding it in for a long time.
When Shang Jianyao went to take on the task, Long Yuehong also obtained information about the family status of Waite and others.
…………
Red Giant Wolf District, an earlier community.
The houses here are not too tall, and there are many traces of repair. They are connected to each other, forming a relatively closed area.
Unlike the living habits of the Red River Basin in the Old World, when the "Original City" was first established, due to the harsh environment, chaotic situation, and frequent conflicts, people in a team are often accustomed to living in adjacent places, watching over each other, or occupying villages that can produce food.
In that era, except for some awakened people and second-persons, most humans lived together in groups. Otherwise, no matter how powerful you are, how many guns can you fire at the same time and how many "unintentional people" and aberrant creatures you can deal with?
Based on such "folk customs", those communities with relatively old "First City" have no more than five floors in the highest building, and there are only a few entrances and exits, which are similar to the city in the city.
Once chaos occurs, such places can be held on for a long time as long as they are blocked from obstacles.
Of course, the premise is that the enemy does not have heavy firepower.
Today, citizens living in similar communities are all citizens of the "First City" and can still maintain a certain status and income.
"Watt's wife and children live here?" Long Yuehong looked at the community composed of multiple buildings in front of him in surprise.
If it weren't for the information in his hand that he had obtained the proof of the Hunter Guild, he would have doubted whether he had encountered a liar again.
Although Waite is an awakened person, he doesn't seem to be doing well.
"Maybe he took most of his harvest home and didn't leave much on himself." Bai Chen had seen too many similar ruin hunters.
When they venture in the wilderness, they may indulge themselves and release stress, but this does not affect their goodness to their families and are even willing to behave themselves for this.
"Get in." Jiang Baimian glanced at the silent Shang Jianyao and took the lead in walking towards the community entrance.
After registration and simple inspection, they bypassed the buildings and came to a five-story building.
The Waites home is on the first floor here.
Long Yuehong stood at the door and suddenly felt a little nervous. She didn't know what kind of reaction would be like for Waite's wife and children, and whether they would be so sad that they could not control themselves.
If I die outside, will the team leader and others have similar concerns when they go to my house to inform me? Long Yuehong breathed slowly and rang the doorbell.
As Dingling's movement echoed, a sound of footsteps approached and the door was opened.
What appeared in front of the "Old Tutoring Group" and others was a 27 or 28-year-old Honghe woman.
She was wearing a white blouse, and although her clothes were old, they were cleaned very clean.
The sun shines in from outside, making the windows inside the house look bright and clean. The two children are gathered by the sofa and look at the door curiously.
On the coffee table in front of them were some children's books excavated from the ruins of old world cities.
"Are you?" the woman from Honghe asked hesitantly.
She was a little alert, but a little solemn, as if she had a bad premonition.
Seeing that Jiang Baimian and others were silent, Long Yuehong opened her mouth and said:
"Are you Waite's wife?"
The woman's face suddenly turned pale.
She asked anxiously:
"He, where is he?"
"He died in the adventure." Long Yuehong did not say that Waite had killed him.
The woman's body shook unconsciously and asked:
"Where is his body?"
"We marked the woods outside the camp of Qunshan No. 2, North Bank...." Long Yuehong's words gradually became smooth.
Energy is precious in the mountains, and similar deceased cannot be cremated. It is already quite lucky to have someone dig a hole for them to bury them.
After all, this is also food in some places and groups.
The woman's lips twitched for a while and finally spit out a word:
"Thanks."
Her voice was low.
Jiang Baimian glanced at Shang Jianyao and signaled him to make a confirmation.
Shang Jianyao completed this matter with a "reasoning clown" with little trace.
That is Waite's wife.
Then Long Yuehong took out Waite's relics and handed them over:
"This is his object."
Waite's wife took the bag and opened it. A look of surprise appeared on her face.
This is more than every time Waite comes home before!
In just a few seconds, the woman said anxiously:
“How much should I give you?
"I heard Corne say that all such things must be divided into part to the returnee as the rewarder. Haha, Waite is his pseudonym..."
As he spoke, the woman's eyes turned red and her voice became even more suffocating.
Long Yuehong was about to refuse, but Jiang Baimian answered:
To be continued...
