Chapter 20 Registered mercenaries, the God of Wealth has arrived
Nord City, the famous forging city of the Alliance of Light, produces weapons and armors that are also very famous on the mainland.
There are blacksmith shops, weapons shops, and armor shops everywhere in the city. Weapons and armors used by frontline soldiers are all made here and sent to the front line.
At noon, the sun was beating down my buttocks and I slowly woke up. I had a really good sleep. The occasional relaxation is also good for my future practice.
After lunch, Xiaomai, who had nothing to do, was also very interested in Nord City. He also wanted to change to a black-level weapon. He had been using an advanced yellow-level weapon for several years, so it was time to change it.
I didn’t have the money to buy armor. Armor was sold in sets. The price was several times that of weapons. Looking at the money in the storage bag, I couldn’t even think about it.
Xiaomai walked into the weapon and asked directly, "Boss, do you have any Xuan-level weapons? If you want a sword, what's the price?"
"There are upper, middle, and lower Xuan-level swords. Please come over here," the boss said politely.
"This is the Lei Yuan Dao, a high-grade Xuan-level sword with a paralysis effect. The price is 10,000 taels."
"This is the Huoyuan Sword, intermediate Xuan level, with blazing effect, price is five thousand taels."
"This is the Xuan Jing Dao. It is a lower level Xuan class. It has no side effects and costs one thousand five hundred taels."
The owner of the weapon shop spared no effort to promote his own weapon, but Xiaomai Nai had only three thousand taels in his pocket. He didn't have enough money to buy the mid-level Xuan-level one, and it was not cost-effective to buy the lower-level Xuan level one, so he had to give up.
Xiaomai went to several weapon shops but couldn't find a cheap and suitable weapon. It was really difficult to rely on oneself without money and power.
At this time, there was a "gulu, guru" sound coming from Wheat's belly. He hadn't eaten anything since he got up, so he had to find something to eat first.
After entering a restaurant, Xiaomai found a seat by the window and sat down. He ordered some more food and ate while thinking about how to make more money.
It would be a pity not to buy a better weapon when I came to Nord City. If I had known better, I would have made some money in the bandits' den before leaving.
"Do you know that Nord City's annual auction will start in 10 days and will be held for three consecutive days. Each time, there will be a lot of top-notch weapons, armor, ore materials, etc. auctioned."
"Of course I know. Nord City is overcrowded at this time every year. Big forces and figures from all over the world participate. I heard that even people from the Dark Alliance and the Middle Alliance will sneak in secretly to participate in the auction."
"But the threshold for the auction is not low. The minimum requirement is 10,000 taels to enter, and capital verification is also required."
"For ordinary people like us, it's too much." It's better not to think about it, eat quickly, and work hard to move bricks after eating.
Nord City's annual auction requires a minimum of 10,000 taels to enter, which is too high. There are still 10 days left, so you have to think of a way, otherwise you will have to wait another year if you miss it.
"Boss, check out."
"I also want to ask where I can make money quickly." Mai asked.
"Brother, if you want to make money quickly, you can go to the Mercenary Guild in the south of the city. There are missions posted there. Don't be brave. You can make money wherever you need it, but you have to do what you can." The restaurant owner advised.
"Thanks, boss".
At the Mercenary Guild in the south of the city, as soon as Xiaomai entered the door, he noticed Zhuo Zhuo's figure inside, with people gathering in twos and threes.
A beautiful young lady came up to me and asked, "Brother, do you want to post a mission or register as a mercenary?"
"Beauty, I want to register as a mercenary. What are the procedures required?" Xiaomai said with a smile.
"Please follow me. There are no restrictions on registering as a mercenary. You only need to fill in the information, name, level, and occupation. At the same time, pay 10 taels of silver as the registration fee."
"The Mercenary Guild will not force you to accept missions. If a client invites you to do a mission, it is your choice whether to accept or not."
"Every guild has a task bar, where you can take on any tasks you can."
"There are also five levels of missions: c-level, b-level, a-level, s-level, and ss-level."
"After completing the mission, the mercenary guild will take 5% as commission."
"At the same time, mercenary guilds have stations in all the major cities of the Alliance of Light. Are there any questions?" the pretty receptionist said with a smile.
"Here are 10 taels of silver to register as a mercenary." Xiaomai said with a smile.
"Brother, please come with me." After saying this, the beautiful receptionist moved forward with her seductive body.
Xiaomai gulped, this is a little devil, the standards for recruiting people in the service industry are really high now.
"This little brother, please fill in the information. The name can be your real name or code name, and your level must be true."
Xiaomai thought for a while and wrote the name "Eagle Strikes the Sky".
The receptionist looked at a small bronze medal with the word "B" written on it and said, "According to the level of strength, brother, you are a B-level mercenary and can take on tasks below A-level. S and SS-level characters have to wait until your strength reaches A-level.
That’s all.”
"The bronze medal is a simple space teleporter. After completing the task, it can be transmitted directly to the employer. As long as you focus on it with Tianyuan power, you can use it," the receptionist explained.
"There is a task bar in the guild lobby. Brother, you can go there and see if there are any suitable tasks. I wish you good luck in your task." The receptionist said with a smile.
When I walked to the task bar in the guild hall, I saw a stone tablet displaying Dada's small tasks. After each task, the task level and reward items were marked.
Use Tianyuan Power to imprint the corresponding task number on the bronze medal, and the detailed information of the task will be displayed.
Xiaomai randomly found a task to try. He poured Tianyuan force into the small bronze medal and engraved the task number, and the details of the task were immediately displayed.
C-level mission: Escort a batch of ore from Nord City to Glory City in the south. The mission reward is 100 taels.
Xiaomai kept browsing the tasks, but it was not that easy to find suitable ones with high rewards. Otherwise, he would not sit in the lobby chatting with people in twos and threes.
At this time, Xiaomai saw a C-level mission, and the reward was as high as 8,000 taels.
After checking the information, it turned out that it was a missing person. There was only a portrait of a child, aged 8 years old. There was no other information.
What kind of identity and background does a person have that is so valuable? The mission can be repeated until the person is found.
After accepting the mission, maybe you will be lucky that day and the blind cat encounters a dead mouse and finds it. Then wow, haha, I feel happy just thinking about it.
Seeing that there were no good tasks today, Xiaomai no longer stayed at the mercenary guild. Now all he could think about was making money.
As I walked, I heard a cry from afar: "Stop, little bastard, don't let me catch you. If I catch you, I'll beat you to death."
A child ran away quickly, followed by a big man chasing after him.
I saw the child shouting to Xiaomai, "Boss, save me, boss, save me." and rushed behind Xiaomai.
The big man who was chasing him shouted, "It turns out we have an accomplice. You two can't leave today."
Mai said confusedly, "I don't know him. You misunderstood. I'm leaving now."
"Boss, why don't you recognize me? It was you who asked me to steal things." The child said aggrievedly, almost crying.
"He said he didn't know me, and when things went wrong, he just blamed the child, and even used the child to steal things." The big man said angrily.
I saw that the big man was about to catch Xiaomai. Xiaomai also knew that jumping into the Yellow River at this time would not be able to clean him up, so he knocked the big man unconscious immediately.
I didn't expect this brat to run very fast, and he started running when the big man made his move.
Xiaomai caught the escaping child in an instant, lifted him up and said, "Boy, you want to use me to escape, right?"
"What do you want, I am helpless, don't hit me," the child said in panic.
"What on earth did you steal?" Mai asked.
I saw the child take out 2 steamed buns from his pocket.
"You just stole two steamed buns. I thought you stole something. You must be starving."
Wheat put the child down and said, "Follow me and I'll take you to eat noodles."
The child didn't say anything and quietly followed Xiaomai to a noodle shop.
"Boss, two bowls of Yangchun noodles."
Xiaomai didn't move his chopsticks, and quietly watched the child eating noodles. Suddenly, Xiaomai thought of the missing person mission of the mercenary guild, and then looked at the child.
The more they look, the more they look like each other. As they look, they smile and say, "God of Wealth."
