Looking at the "ordinary person" in front of him, a look of interest flashed in the bartender's eyes.
Generally speaking, newcomers like this who seem to know nothing are valuable assets to mercenaries.
After all, being new means that you don’t know the ropes.
But if you don’t know how to do it...then you can charge a lot of money?
Although it is not you who accepts the task, as long as you introduce it, the middleman still has to get some commission, right?
Lin Ye looked at the bartender in front of him and felt that since missions could be released here, he didn't hide anything and said directly:
"I want to inquire about the traces of strange beasts."
Hearing what Lin Ye said, the bartender took out his communicator very professionally and clicked it twice.
"The types and attributes of the alien beasts have been graded. Are there any requirements?"
"Bear-like beasts, preferably metal or wood-type ones. As for the level..."
"The best is level six."
"Um?"
The bartender's hand that was tapping the screen stopped immediately after hearing Lin Ye say "Level 6".
"Level 6? Are you sure?"
He felt that the young man in front of him might be the young master of some family in the city, and it was his first time going out, and he was quite uneducated.
Otherwise, how could he make such an outrageous request?
It’s not like there are no sixth-level strange beasts.
The problem is that if an "ordinary person" goes to find a sixth-level alien beast, isn't that asking for death?
Lin Ye looked at the surprised bartender in front of him and nodded calmly.
"Sure."
When the bartender saw the young man nodding, he didn't waste any time.
Anyway, as long as the commission is in place, it will be fine.
This kind of task requires partial commission payment in advance.
It’s just that I guess I won’t get the full commission.
After all, let’s not talk about whether we can find the sixth level one.
Even if it is found, if this stupid guy dies outside, there will be no commission.
emmm, should you quote a higher price?
Even if you can only get a part of it, it's still a lot.
The bartender pretended to click something on the communicator while stroking his chin and thinking.
"Done!"
After making up his mind, the bartender did a few operations and then looked at Lin Ye in front of the bar.
"I have already sent out the task for you, our guest."
"You can wait here for a while, or you can leave first. I will contact you when a mercenary contacts me."
Lin Ye thought for a while and asked:
"Will it take long?"
The bartender nodded.
"Um."
"If it was before, it shouldn't be long."
"But there was a big mission yesterday and we pulled out many high-level mercenaries nearby, so we may have to wait a while."
"After all, ordinary mercenaries would not dare to take on a mission like yours that involves a sixth-level alien beast."
In order to stabilize the money, the bartender was very polite when he spoke.
Lin Ye thought for a while and nodded.
"Then I'll wait here for a while~"
"By the way, if no one picks up the mission, the mission can be canceled, right?"
"sure."
"Okay, bring me a non-alcoholic drink~"
Bartender:???
"Um...just a drink without alcohol."
"OK."
After finding a corner and sitting down, Lin Ye began to feel bored.
The bars in this world...no, they should be pubs. Compared with the bars on Earth, they are really not good enough.
There were no young ladies in cool clothes, and there was no dynamic music, just some big men talking and laughing unscrupulously.
Compared with the building where the Eye of Desire was hidden before, this tavern is really a little smaller.
But Lin Ye didn't come out to have fun.
After complaining for a while, he looked around the tavern.
And he turned his attention to the table next door not far from him.
"Hey, I heard that the people from those legions came back with a group of people?"
"Yes, it seems that I came back to get some materials. Anyway, the battle is quite big."
"Tsk~ It's a pity that labor and management didn't catch up to sign up."
A man with a big nose took an indignant sip of beer, and the bottomed beer glass banged on the wooden table.
"I heard that the mission seems to be to clean up the alien beasts, and it is also in the direction of Qingquan City."
"Why do you think the masters of the Legion are doing nothing to clean up the strange beasts over there?"
"Who knows? Maybe I miss those tender-skinned ladies over there!"
"Hahahaha, maybe it's true. I was lucky enough to have it ten years ago. My skin is indeed much better than those in Jiangzhou."
"Of course. I heard that the women in Qingquan City grew up in clean air, and their skin is so tender that you can pinch water from it!"
"Say it as if you've seen it before?"
"Ask him if that's true!"
Listening to the topic gradually deviating in a direction not suitable for children, Lin Ye was disappointed and turned his attention back.
However, I still heard some useful information.
It seems that the legion has made quite a move in the direction of Qingquan City.
Even these mercenaries know it.
Maybe I can still borrow some light from Hong Zhijun.
Just as he was thinking about it, the big-nosed man drinking next door suddenly patted the table.
"Brothers, I saw a list, looking for a sixth-level bear-like beast, is there anything you want to do?"
Hearing this, the mercenaries who were drinking together all became excited.
"Oh! You're so lucky? Did you get a big deal just after you came back?"
"Do it, you have to do it! If you don't do it, I won't be able to use the Red Mansion anymore."
"By the way, didn't something happen there some time ago? Many people died."
"Why, have you never seen a dead person?"
"No, I always feel that having fun in a place where people have died is a bit like dancing on the grave."
"Isn't that exciting?"
Big Nose saw that his old brothers started to stray from the topic again, and he quickly knocked on the table.
"Okay, okay, be quiet."
"Are you sure you want to pick it up?"
A slightly thin man with long hair who also found "grave dance" exciting was the first to nod.
"catch!"
"That's right!"
A fat man who was obviously afraid of ghosts and looked a bit like a winter melon joined in.
Finally, Big Nose looked at a middle-aged uncle sitting opposite him.
The bearded man smiled and nodded.
Seeing that the three people agreed, the big-nosed, short-haired man clicked twice on the communicator.
"Okay, the owner who issued the mission is in the tavern. I'll go to the bar and ask."
Immediately, the big-nosed man stood up, passed by Lin Ye, and walked towards the bar.
Lin Ye, who had heard the speeches of the four mercenaries, raised his eyebrows in surprise.
I didn't expect such a coincidence.
I just happened to be given the task by my "neighbor".
He was prepared to follow the map and go there alone if no one accepted the mission.
But this will definitely delay a lot of time.
After all, compared with these mercenaries who have been living outside the city all year round, if Lin Ye's experience in finding strange beasts is "0", that is just a compliment.
"Where's the person who issued the mission?"
The bartender looked at the big nose in front of him, smiled and nuzzled his lips towards the table where Lin Ye was sitting.
"Well, it's right there~"
After hearing this, Big Nose turned his head and glanced in Lin Ye's direction.
Then he frowned.
"Is he an ordinary person?"
Obviously, the big-nosed man had the same doubts as the bartender.
The bartender nodded.
"Yeah."
"But what does it matter?"
Big Nose glanced at the bartender and said expressionlessly:
"Isn't this going to die?"
The bartender shrugged.
Then he leaned forward slightly and whispered in a voice that only the two of him could hear:
"Wouldn't this be better?"
"You can just charge a higher price and deal with it casually."
"At first glance, this guy looks like a newcomer who has never been out before. He is a typical person who is stupid and has a lot of money."
"It doesn't matter whether he dies or not, the credit points he gets are the last word."
Hearing this, Big Nose did not speak. He just glanced at the bartender, then turned and walked in the direction of Lin Ye.
"I'll go over and talk to myself."
"Please."
Big Nose walked to Lin Ye's table, nodded slightly to him, and then introduced:
"Hello, I am Weizhou, the captain of our mercenary team."
"Is it enough that the mission is just to find a sixth-level metallic or wooden bear-like beast?"
Looking at the man named Weizhou in front of him, Lin Ye nodded.
"Well, just find it."
Weizhou nodded after hearing this.
"Then we have no problem here. Do you have any other requirements?"
Lin Ye thought for a while...
"Take me with you. It shouldn't be a special request, right?"
The expression on Weizhou's face froze slightly.
I am really afraid of what will happen.
When he saw that Lin Ye was so young and an ordinary person at the same time, he thought for a moment that this young man with no powers would not be the one preparing to go out to see the world during the mission.
Who would have thought that this would be the case...
Weizhou's face was full of embarrassment.
"Well, you know, things are dangerous out there."
"We don't know if we will encounter any special circumstances."
"And we are just a mercenary team, and we may not have enough manpower to protect you."
Looking at the very sincere man in front of him, Lin Ye smiled and shook his head.
"It's okay, I can protect myself."
"You just need to be responsible for helping me find the strange beasts."
Hearing what the young man in front of him said, Weizhou frowned and thought about the credibility of Lin Ye's words.
After all, it sounds a bit fantasy for a person who seems to have no powers to say that he can protect himself in the world outside the city.
However, thinking about the recent sluggish market conditions and the confident appearance of this young man, Weizhou still nodded.
When the time comes, I will make a three-part rule first.
Put everything that needs to be said into the contract.
If the young man needs the protection of himself and others, then... he will have to pay more!
"Okay, there's nothing wrong with me here."
Seeing that the big man named Weizhou agreed, Lin Ye smiled and nodded.
"Okay then, tell me a price~"
Seeing the young man acting so naive, Weizhou recalled the bartender's whisper just now.
Where can I post a task and ask the person who takes it to quote a price?
So should I pay more?
"Um... our team has two level four superpowers and two level five superpowers."
"In addition, your request is to find a sixth-level exotic beast of a designated type. The current market price is generally around 500,000 credit points."
"Of course, if something unexpected happens midway, for example, you need us to provide extra protection, this will cost extra."
After struggling for a while, Weizhou quoted a normal price.
This price is equivalent to the crystal cores of five third-level alien beasts.
And it stands to reason that this task is more complicated than killing five third-level alien beasts.
But now that alien beast crystal cores have become inexplicably in short supply, third-level alien beasts outside the city have begun to become increasingly rare.
Besides, going on a mission won’t affect their hunting~
Killing two birds with one stone, wouldn’t it be great?!
Lin Ye had no idea about this price.
Five hundred thousand, just half a million~
"Okay, can we leave now?"
Weizhou nodded.
"sure!"
"Let me introduce my team members to you~"
"Um."
Weizhou, who was standing in front of Lin Ye's table, waved to the three people at the next table who had been looking this way.
"Come and meet our employer."
The thin young man with long hair stood up first and walked over.
"Wang Bo, a fourth-level wood-type superpower."
Then there is the one that looks like a winter melon.
"Hehehe, I don't have a name, you can call me Wu San'er."
"A fourth-level earth element user."
Finally, there was the bearded uncle who seemed a bit taciturn.
"Wei Jianbin, a fifth-level power user."
Finally, there is Weizhou.
"Let's get to know Weizhou again, a fifth-level power user."
Looking at Weizhou's extended hand, Lin Ye stood up and shook his hand.
At the same time, a very warm-looking smile appeared on his face.
"Lin Ye."
After a preliminary acquaintance, Lin Ye paid 30% of the commission and followed Weizhou and his mercenary team out of the Beast Taming Tavern.
"Mr. Lin, if there is a bear-like beast, we have to look for it in the direction of Qingquan City."
"There will be more of these large exotic beasts over there."
Lin Ye nodded to express understanding.
"Yeah, okay."
Seeing that Lin Ye had no objection, Weizhou continued:
"Then please, Mr. Lin, please wait here while we pack up the equipment and drive the car over before setting off."
"It won't take long."
"good."
Seeing that Lin Ye was so talkative, Weizhou felt a little strange.
This is a bit different from the young men he has come into contact with before who want to go out and see the world~
After they walked away, Wang Bo, who had long hair, glanced behind him and couldn't help but whistle.
"Wuhu~"
"It looks like I found a fat sheep this time~"
"Brother Wei, how much commission does the other party offer?"
"Five million."
"Ah? Is this fat sheep so poor?"
Wang Bo was a little dissatisfied.
Weizhou tried to persuade him a little.
"Okay, this five hundred thousand, plus the extra money earned on the road, will add up to less than one million credit points."
"Then we have to spend money to practice!"
One million seems like a lot, but this trip is just enough for a fourth-order crystal core.
Winter Melon Wu San'er couldn't help but sigh.
"Oh, how difficult it is!"
He and Wang Bo have been stuck at level four for a long time.
In addition to talent, there are also reasons for resources.
After all, level 4 crystal cores are expensive and hard to come by.
It is true that the alien beasts are brainless, but once they reach a higher level, they still know how to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.
"Okay, okay, what if we encounter a fourth- or fifth-level alien beast on the road this time? That won't make us rich."
Weizhou drew a cake for the two little brothers in the team.
Hearing this, Wang Bo quickly shook his head.
"Don't! If we encounter this, it's okay if it's a fourth-level one. But if it's a fifth-level one, what if we lose arms and legs and die?"
