Volume Nine Thieves Guild Chapter Six Alienated Dead Eggs
"This is the Thunder Knot, the item from mission 682, the Goulu Sword, the item from mission 2831, and the Excellent Gloves, the item from mission 3768..." Throwing a large pile of things wrapped in black cloth onto the counter, Gu Yao said calmly
Tao, just like doing a trivial thing.
The people handling tasks now are no longer the little receptionists outside who manage trivial tasks such as adultery and bribery. This is the C-level office of the Thieves Guild. All tasks of D-level or above are handled by the union's cadres.
The Thunder Knot is an electrical treasure that is of great help to magicians who practice electricity, but it belongs to a small family on the mainland.
There is no magician in this family, but the Thunder Knot is their heirloom. Even if many electric magicians covet it and offer a high price or exchange it for a better treasure, the family is unwilling to give it up, so a certain person wants to give up the Thunder Knot.
Magicians who are determined to win turn to the Thieves Guild for help.
Although it is only a small family, since it is a family heirloom, they naturally take the Thunder Light Knot very closely, placing it in a very hidden place, and setting up a lot of traps. The internal security of the family is also extremely tight.
To be honest, the Thunder Knot is very precious, but it cannot be called a treasure, so the remuneration offered by the magician is only higher than the Thunder Knot, but it is far from matching the difficulty of the task, and the price/performance ratio is too low. Although the points for the Thunder Knot task are very high
high.
Upgrading is important, but thieves usually put reward first. So three years later, no thieves were willing to take on this task until Gu Yao arrived.
Gu Yao doesn't care about remuneration at all, he is only interested in points. The more difficult the task, the higher the points. In addition, it is best for this task to be not too far away from other tasks that are taken together, so as to save money.
It took a lot of time to go back and forth. So when Gu Yao saw that this task met two conditions at the same time, he thought about it for less than a minute and decided to accept it.
The difficulty of other tasks is not low. For example, the excellent boxing gloves belong to a famous boxer in mainland China and are worn even when sleeping and bathing. But Gu Yao completed them all.
Even though he is at the top of the Thieves Guild and has witnessed the growth of many thieves, this cadre was still surprised by how quickly Gu Yao upgraded.
Four months ago, he was still a rookie who had just joined the union. Now he has become a member of the C-level thieves. He takes on all difficult and high-point tasks, in batches every time.
There is no record of failure or abandonment of tasks, and the speed of completion is also amazing.
For example, this batch of tasks such as Lei Guangjie only took a month, which is already a very remarkable achievement. It seems that it is only a matter of time to become an A-level thief. It is not impossible to become an S-level thief.
But Gu Yao feels that it is still not enough, far from enough. To become a cadre in the Thieves Guild who can take over important transactions, he must at least become an A-level thief.
Although there is only a two-level gap between a C-level thief and an A-level thief, the higher the level, the more difficult it is to improve, so he still needs continuous efforts.
After completing the formalities for Gu Yao, the cadre continued: "The employer of the 682nd Lei Guangjie Mission has provided five types of remuneration in kind. Which one do you want to choose?"
For skilled thieves, money is as cheap as the rubbish that can be picked up everywhere on the ground. They no longer value it. When employers entrust difficult tasks, their rewards are usually in kind, such as some valuable items.
The treasures attract high-level thieves, and some employers will also provide a variety of physical objects, allowing thieves who complete the task to choose on their own.
Gu Yao said nonchalantly: "The same old thing, the second kind."
When offered multiple choices of rewards, Gu Yao would always choose the second one. When he was at the Holy Academy, Xia Houjin and Carlo both called him "Lao Er". Gu Yao has always missed that affectionate title.
I don’t know what’s going on with the eldest brother and the third child now. They should all be in trouble?
"79516, for your benefit. I have to remind you here," the cadre's words interrupted Gu Yao's thoughts: "The second reward for this task is an egg."
Gu Yao felt slightly strange: "Egg? What?"
"Pet eggs, but rather strange ones. The union has to ask questions about remuneration from unknown sources. According to the employer, he obtained the egg accidentally. The eggshell is extremely hard. You know, the power of pets.
It’s always related to the hardness of the eggshell. An egg as hard as that should be a precious and high-end pet egg.”
When the cadre said this, his tone changed: "However, the employer consulted many professional animal trainers, and they seemed to have failed to hatch it using various methods. There was even no life response. The egg could not be hatched even with strong force.
Broken. After analysis by the trade union, this situation probably belongs to the alienation of the pet egg. The life force that originally belonged to the pet in the egg has been transferred to the egg shell due to some special reasons, becoming a dead egg. Basically, it can
If it says there is no value, are you sure you still want to choose?"
"Oh, is that so?" Gu Yao said with arms crossed, "It doesn't matter, the second option is better."
To him, it doesn't matter if there is no reward for this task, as long as the points are reduced.
After giving all the necessary advice, the cadre did not persuade much: "Okay, we will take the mission items for appraisal. If there are no problems, the union will send someone to give you the reward later. 79516, now you need it
Will you take on new tasks?"
"Of course, please give me the mission file with the highest points that a C-level thief can accept!"
It’s no surprise that Gu Yao speaks loudly. He is not arrogant, but he does have such ability. I just don’t understand the reason why he desperately upgrades. Other thieves earn points to upgrade just to be able to take on more difficult tasks.
The ultimate goal is to obtain the treasures in the rewards. But 79516 seems to be upgraded purely for the sake of upgrading, and the rewards are ignored every time.
He had seen this situation with a female thief a few years ago, but what the cadre didn't know was that the female thief and 79516 were siblings.
Gu Yao carefully observed the contents in the file book, and then decided on seven or eight tasks in the southwest region. The plane map of the dungeon is in the southwest of the Kadi continent, which is close to the task location and can save a lot of time.
The Thieves Guild will never be short of money. The free dinner provided to senior thieves (there is no breakfast or lunch in the dungeon where it is always dark) is always so rich, with fine wine, cooked dishes, fruits as the main items, and more pastries and meats.
You can enjoy it casually, which is considered a luxury in the dungeon.
After dinner, the Thieves Guild also sent someone to deliver the reward for this mission to Gu Yao.
They are all rewards in kind, and each item comes with a detailed description. There is a special appraisal center in the Thieves Guild, and the rewards are paid by experienced senior appraisers to determine their function and the value is consistent with what the employer said.
After scanning around casually, Gu Yao threw them into the Xiaoyao Ring, leaving only one thing behind, which was the egg that the cadre had reminded him about.
You are right, this egg is indeed very strange. Its shell is not an ordinary yellow and white color, but has a metallic luster, like iron, copper, steel, silver, gold, and it is unlike any other egg.
Metals are all different.
Gu Yao also heard about the alienation of pet eggs. The power that originally belonged to the little life in the egg was transferred to the shell, and it was possible to transform the eggshell into an unknown substance.
Gu Yao slammed the egg onto the ground. It was not broken, but the hard stone floor was broken open and the egg sank in.
It's really hard!
This is a dead egg and has no value, but Gu Yao is still a little curious about it. After pinching the egg out of the floor, Gu Yao summoned his fighting spirit and tried to crush the outer eggshell, but this time he still failed.
.
Gu Yao was even more surprised. He was very confident in his current ability. The force he used to pinch the Nine Yang Gang Qi just now was at least a thousand kilograms. An ordinary alienated eggshell would have broken into pieces.
Hey, interesting!
Originally, Gu Yao was just a little interested, but now his interest is getting stronger.
Throwing the egg into the air, Gu Yao curled up his right index finger, then flicked it hard, and a black line came from under his finger.
The penetrating ability of the instant prison finger is extremely strong. It hit the eggshell but failed to penetrate it.
At this time, Gu Yao's surprise had turned into shock. Even an expert would probably be a bit overwhelmed by resisting this attack. It is really unimaginable that a mutated pet egg can withstand the power of the Instant Prison Finger.
In addition, the power of the instant prison finger was not offset by the eggshell, but penetrated directly into the egg like water meeting a sponge, and then the eggshell flashed imperceptibly.
The fleeting moment was still captured by Gu Yao, and he frowned.
Didn't you say that this was a dead egg with no life response? What was it just now?
Gu Yao put the egg into the ring. It seemed that he had something to do on the way to the mission location this time.
