During the period of studying under Becky, Luo Xiu and Little Rhodes spent almost every day doing small tasks in addition to the fixed training time. The two brothers almost completed all the messy tasks issued by the guild, but the progress was obvious.

Luo Xiu and Little Rhodes are now fully able to cope with various mission requirements.

The current physical fitness of Luo Xiu and Rhodes has been greatly improved compared to before, and the constantly running fighting spirit is subtly changing the relationship between the two. If they were just ordinary people before, then they are now equivalent to the level of athletes!

Physical endurance and toughness are greatly enhanced

In addition to arranging tasks for the two of them every day, Becky also goes to the Mercenary Guild every day to check on the completion of the tasks of the two brothers and answer their doubts about the tasks;

Watching the two new mercenaries grow up little by little, Becky had a satisfied smile on her rough face;

"Congratulations! Guys, now you are considered qualified mercenaries to follow. The next mission will be different and will require your unique thinking ability and adaptability. This is no different from a real mercenary mission. Work hard and seriously.

Finish it! Come on!" Becky showed her three shining big teeth! She announced passionately

After hearing what Becky said, Luo Xiu and Little Rhodes were not happy at all, because they had already been tortured by this guy in front of them, so how could they trust him?

"This is the address. I have already received the task. You can just go directly to the place on the address tomorrow!" Becky took out a crumpled piece of paper from her arms and handed it to Luo Xiu.

Taking the address handed over by Becky, Luo Xiu wondered, "Isn't this guy really asking us to catch chickens and find cats?"

The address on the paper was a pet shop. It was a very famous shop in Moore Town. This made Luo Xiu a little interested.

Early the next morning, Luo Xiu and his brother found the store according to its address. The store was very large, with a spacious and long hall filled with pets of various shapes on both sides;

Many of these pets are cute-looking ordinary animals. Only a few are low-level monsters. Most of them are first- and second-level monsters. Even rarer low-level elemental creatures can be found here.

"Excuse me, is there anything I can help you with?" the young clerk asked with a smile.

"Oh, we are members of the ziyou mercenary group. We have received the mission issued by your store. We are here to determine the content of the mission." Luo Xiu replied calmly.

"Ah, wait a minute, I'll go find the steward." The female clerk was a little disappointed when she saw that she wasn't here to buy pets, but she still went to see the steward.

There are all kinds of strange pets in the store, including a small fire-breathing dragon that is red in color and about half a meter tall and looks majestic, and spits out a mouthful of flames from time to time, as well as a plump little snow bear with a chill coming from its mouth. Luo Xiu even saw one.

There is a small water element in the big bottle, playing with splashes of water

"I didn't expect there to be so many magical creatures! It's really attractive to have these rare low-level monsters as pets!" Luo Xiu and Little Rhodes looked back and forth curiously.

There are many customers in the pet shop, but most of them come to buy ordinary animals as pets. There are very few people who come to the counter where Luo Xiu and Rhodes are standing to buy pets.

It's not that they don't like these monsters, but they can't afford them! It's true that they can't afford them. Ordinary pets only cost dozens of copper coins, and expensive ones only cost a few hundred copper coins. However, these pets Luo Xiu looked at

, ranging from four to five hundred silver coins, or even nearly ten gold coins! It is a complete luxury item!!

"Only the children of the great nobles of the empire can afford to keep these pets. The cheapest hard-shell rat costs about 400 silver coins. This is like stealing money!" Luo Xiu had to admire the skill of this pet shop owner.

Ming, you can really make money!

"Ah hahaha, you are from the ziyou mercenary group, and I am the manager of our store." A tall, fat man wearing brocade clothes walked towards Luo Xiu.

"Hello! I'm here to complete the task. I would also like to trouble you to explain the specific content of the task." Luo Xiu got straight to the point.

The other party was not polite and said directly, "The task is very simple. The hard-shelled rats in our store are short of food, so we hired you to collect grass at the edge of the forest outside the city. This kind of grass contains a small amount of earth element and is the hard-shelled rat."

After collecting the rat's favorite food, we will avenge you accordingly according to the weight collected. Do you have any questions?"

"No, let's set off now!" Luo Xiu wrote down the content and location of the mission, nodded and said

After getting the mission content, the brothers put on the backpacks they took from the pet shop and set off towards the forest outside the city along the road.

"This mission is really different. Uncle Becky finally got the idea and let us start the serious mission," Luo Xiu said as he walked in front.

"Yes, if I continue to do those tasks of catching chickens and finding cats, I will almost collapse." Little Rhodes nodded fiercely, agreeing with his brother's point of view

"I plan to buy a weapon when I earn some money. Although I saved a lot of money from doing missions some time ago, it's still not close. So this time we work hard to earn more, and we will have the weapon," Luo Xiu said to his brother.

"Okay, okay! I've wanted a sword for a long time. It's so cool to see other people in the group wearing swords!" Little Rhodes cheered happily when he heard that he wanted to buy a weapon.

The two brothers walked along the roadside chatting about what weapons they wanted to buy, and soon they reached the edge of the forest, which was also the location of this mission.

The vegetation here is close to the sky. Because it is on the outskirts of the forest, there are very few tall trees. The sparse trees provide a lot of space for flowers and plants to grow.

The kind of grass Luo Xiu and the others are looking for in their mission is a low-level magic grass with half green and half yellow leaves. Because of its special color, it is easy to identify and it is not difficult to find. However, these magic grasses grow very scattered and it is troublesome to collect them in large quantities.

"Okay! Start working! Work hard for the weapons!" Luo Xiu took the lead and jumped into the large grass and started harvesting. Little Rhodes also imitated his brother's shout and joined in the work of collecting magic grass.

Three or four hours later...

"Oh my God! It turns out that farm work is so tiring!" Luo Xiu straightened his stiff and sore back and saw his brother lying idle in the grass. He shook his head helplessly and continued working.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!… Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!…

Luo Xiu kept picking out bunches of magic grass from the weeds, then slashed hard with the lawnmower in his hand, and the bunch of magic grass was thrown into the basket on his back.

Just when Luo Xiu was about to cut off a bunch of magic grass next to him, the grass suddenly shook. This shaking had a strong sense of disobedience. Luo Xiu knew that it was definitely not caused by the wind! The rhythm just now was very large, and he was not a small person.

Animals can do it!

"What is it? Is it a snake? Or a mouse?" Luo Xiu guessed in his mind and did not dare to act rashly. If it was an aggressive poisonous insect, he would be easily attacked if he acted rashly!

Holding his breath and concentrating, Luo Xiu carefully inserted the lawnmower in his hand into the cracks in the grass, and slowly pushed aside the grass that blocked his sight. Luo Xiu carefully looked for the creatures hidden in the grass.

——Zhizhizi!

With a thin cry, Luo Xiu stared at the creature in front of him with wide eyes. It was a butt, an animal butt with a short and fluffy tail! It had shiny yellow hair and a fat body, and it was munching on a piece of food.

A half green and half yellow magic grass!

"Great! - It's a hard-shelled rat!" Luo Xiu cheered in his heart. This is a lot of money! As long as you catch this little thing, it's not easy to buy a good weapon!

Looking at the hard-shelled rat gnawing on grass, Luo Xiu did not dare to move rashly, nor did he dare to call his brother to come over for help, for fear of scaring it away. Luo Xiu quickly thought about the best capture plan.

"Grab it directly with your hands? It's definitely not possible! The area covered by the two palms is too small, and the capturing movement has time to buffer and accumulate power..." Luo Xiu quickly rejected several plans.

Luo Xiu looked at the hard-shelled rat thinking a lot. When he saw the magic grass that the hard-shelled rat was eating, Luo Xiu had an idea in his mind and thought of a simple and effective way.

Slowly taking the backpack on his back, Luo Xiu slowly pointed the big mouth of the backpack at the position of the hard-shell rat. Regardless of the situation, Luo Xiu suddenly took the large backpack in his hand with a lot of magic grass in it.

Deduct it

--boom!

There was a muffled sound, and the mouth of the backpack was buckled on the grass where the hard-shelled rat was!

Squeak! Squeak! Squeak! Squeak! Squeak!

With a series of "squeaking" sounds, the hard-shelled rat banged against the basket in panic, trying to escape from the basket.

"Haha! Got it! Brother, get up quickly and come over and have a look!" Luo Xiu laughed excitedly

"Ah, let me rest for a while, I'm about to break! I still have blisters on my hands..." Little Rod thought his brother was asking him to work, and Larry replied angrily.

"You bastard! Get up! I'm not asking you to work, come and help me, I'll catch a treasure!" Luo Xiu laughed and cursed.

"Ah? Really! Let's take a look, let's take a look." Little Rhodes heard clearly this time and jumped up like a rubber ball. He was even more energetic and lazy than before!

Seeing the hard-shelled rat, Little Rod was equally excited and cheered. The two brothers worked together to carefully grab the hard-shelled rat from the backpack, tear off a piece of clothing and make it into a cloth bag, and carefully packed the hard-shelled rat to make sure not to let it go.

run out

The hard-shelled rat is a first-level earth-type monster. It will turn itself into a ball of earth when it is stimulated by the outside world. The outer layer of hard earth armor can protect it from predators.
