After a month of traveling, they finally arrived at the city of Drifting Cloud City at the edge of the wilderness. Lin Yu was shocked when he saw the stone city walls that were hundreds of feet tall.?
Although they had encountered martial artists along the way, only a few of them had low cultivation levels. It was unlike the Drifting Cloud City, which was filled with martial artists of different realms. It seemed that he had come to the right place. This was the place he yearned for.
Lin Yu followed the crowd to the city gate. When he saw that he had to pay a tael of silver to enter the city, he cursed the City Lord in his heart. When it was Lin Yu's turn, he had no choice but to hand over the silver obediently. Sigh, a strong dragon cannot suppress a snake in its own territory.?
"Young Master, do you want to take a carriage? My deer horse runs fast!" Lin Yu was shocked by the loud shout. He saw a carriage parked beside him, pulled by a horse with a long neck. It should be the deer and horse that the coachman mentioned.
"Uncle, you don't know how scary it is to be so loud.”
"Young Master, look at the noise here. It's not loud, so you can't hear it. Young Master, you want to go inside?" The first sentence was still sloppy, but the second sentence was a little out of tune. Lin Yu wanted to get out as soon as possible when he saw the crowd around him.
"How much?"
"Three taels of silver in the eastern part of the city, eight taels in the other Urban area. Young Master, where are you going?" The coachman replied fluently.
"That, uncle, your Deer Horse is too ugly. I'm looking for someone prettier.”Lin Yu looked around and disappeared into the crowd. The middle-aged man rubbed his head. A deer and a horse are ugly. Aren't they all the same?
Lin Yu walked out of the crowd and exhaled. The people here were too ruthless. They had asked for three taels of silver. He felt the remaining twenty taels of silver in his pocket. He still needed to buy a sword, a set of clothes, and a hotel. He was unfamiliar with this place, so he needed to find someone to ask.
Lin Yu looked around. Fortunately, there were many inns near the city gate, so he found one that looked rather low-class and entered it.
Lin Yu walked in and saw that there were already many people having lunch in the lobby. It was very lively.?Gosh, there wasn't even a waiter to welcome them.
"Waiter!" Lin Yu walked to an empty table and sat down.
"Coming, Master. Are you staying or eating?" The waiter ran over with a towel.
"Give me a few steamed buns, a plate of beef, two vegetarian dishes, and a pot of wine.”Lin Yu shouted like he had seen on television in his previous life.
"Alright! My food will be here soon." The waiter replied habitually.
"Wait, how much is it?" The waiter glanced at Lin Yu's attire. "Master, a normal room is two taels a day. Do I need to make a reservation?"
"Yes, book a room for me. Let's go together later.”
"Alright."
After a while, the food was served. It looked good. Lin Yu gently nudged Xiao Jiu as he thought about how he would definitely ask for more money from the waiter later. At this moment, a burly man sat down opposite them.
"Brother, you don't mind if I sit here, right?”After saying that, he glared at Lin Yu fiercely. "Big brother, what are you talking about? We are all brothers in the four seas. Come and drink with big brother.”Lin Yu smiled as he picked up a bowl from the table and poured it for the man.?
"Brother, I like hearing your words. If anyone bullies you, report my name.”After saying that, she downed the bowl of wine without hesitation.
"Big Brother, then I won't stand on ceremony! I just came to Liuyun City, can you tell me about the mercenaries?”As he spoke, he poured the remaining wine in the pot to Iron Bull.
Iron Bull was a D-rank mercenary after all. When it came to mercenaries, Iron Bull's blood boiled and he couldn't stop talking.
It turned out that he had to go to the Mercenary Union to get a mercenary certificate first, and then accept the mission. The mission was divided into levels like the mercenary level, from low to high, and the corresponding level could only accept the corresponding mission. For a complete mission, you could get the commission once you handed it in at the Mercenary Hall.
In the afternoon, Lin Yu headed to the weapons and clothing stores. He gave out 15 taels of silver to buy a standard bronze sword and a set of black combat attire before returning to the inn to have a meal and pay for the room. He was penniless now.
The next day, Lin Yu set off for the Mercenary Guild in high spirits. Fortunately, the Mercenary Guild was in the east of the city. Otherwise, who knew how far they would have to go. The outer walls of the Mercenary Guild were made of dark red materials, and under the sunlight, they emitted a metallic smell.
After entering the guild, there was a row of service windows on the right. In the middle was a hall. On the opposite wall was a crystal wall that displayed all kinds of mission information. On the left was a small bar.
There were heads everywhere, and the crowd would curse from time to time, but there was really no action. It seemed that the Mercenary Association was very powerful. Lin Yu walked towards the mercenary card counter. This counter was the least crowded in the entire hall, so it was Lin Yu's turn not long after.
"Hello, I want to apply for a mercenary card.”Lin Yu looked at the staff at the window. She had a curvy figure and fair skin. Sigh, there was no shortage of beautiful women in this world. Any one of them was of the highest quality.
"Fill this form out!" The staff handed over a form. There were only a few words on it, such as martial arts realm, name, and where he was from. After filling in the form, the staff asked Lin Yu to press his finger into a small hole on the counter. He only felt his finger go numb.
Lin Yu knew that this was the mercenary card's exclusive verification. In the future, this card would accompany him throughout his mercenary career, be it accepting missions or issuing missions. He received a UnionPay card that looked like the one from his previous life, but he didn't know what material it was made of that was much prettier than the UnionPay card.
After everything was settled, Lin Yu went to the bar area to wait for his mission. He did not go to the big screen to look for his own mission. As an F-rank mercenary, he could only take on some missions such as delivering letters and running errands. Since he did not need them, he could only go to the bar area to pick up the loot.?
Without money, he ordered the wine and found an empty seat to sit down. Suddenly, all kinds of information filled his ears.
"That murderous demon king is too cruel. Many mercenaries who took over died in his hands. Now, no one might dare to take on the mission to capture him.”
"What do you think of the thirty thousand gold taels reward mission issued by the Mercenary Guild?”
30,000 gold taels? Lin Yu could not help but click his tongue.
"I heard that the Great Heaven Mercenary Group is making a big move again.”
"After completing this mission, I can be carefree for a while.”The two of them laughed evilly.
"The Martial Master team is recruiting Fierce Demon Bears.”
"The Martial Apprentice team is recruiting a Martial Apprentice or above to escort the mission.”Martial Apprentice teams were recruiting Martial Apprentices and above.
"There are already three people in the temporary team who have entered the Wild Forest.”The Wilderness Forest was suitable for him. He wondered if they had any requirements.
Lin Yu quickly walked to the table where he was seated. There were two men and a woman. The person who was shouting was a middle-aged man in his thirties. He had a handsome face and a smile on his face. On his left was a big, simple-looking man who was holding a big axe. On his right was a woman wearing a veil. He could tell that she was a beauty from her figure.
"Hello, what do you think of me?" Lin Yu asked the middle-aged man.
"Little brother, what's your name, what's your level, and do you know about the Savage Wildlands?”The sixteen-year-old Lin Yu had already grown into an adult due to his martial arts training. His handsome face still looked young, so it was not an exaggeration to call him little brother.?
"Lin Yu, a high-level Martial Apprentice. I've just come out from my home to train. I've heard of the Savage Forest before. It's very dangerous, but I still hope to join you.”Lin Yu introduced himself briefly.
"A high-level Martial Apprentice is a little low, even though it's only in the periphery.”The big guy was a little dissatisfied.
" Young Miss Bai, what's your opinion?" The middle-aged man looked at the young woman. The young lady did not answer, but the burly man answered for her. Captain, you see for yourself. We will do whatever you say.
"Alright, Lin Yu, you can come with us. Let me introduce you to the contents of the mission." The mercenary captain immediately made the decision.
"Thank you, Captain." Lin Yu was also very happy. He was still waiting for money to eat?
"This Pang Hu, this is Miss Bai, I'm called Chen Tai.”Mrs. Chen introduced the three members to Lin Yu.?
"Captain Chen, Big Brother Pang Da, how are you, Miss Bai?”Lin Yu greeted him.
"Brother, you don't have to be so polite!" The big guy patted Lin Yu's shoulder.?Lin Yu had a good impression of the big guy. He had met Iron Bull and now Pang Hu when he entered Liuyun City, and he felt very good about both of them.
Alright, our mission this time is to enter the Dead Tree Forest two hundred miles away from the Wilderness and collect a few stalks of Dead Tree Grass. The Dead Tree Grass is guarded by a Grade Two Magical Beast that has the combat strength of a Martial Master. Pang Hu and I will be the main attackers while you and Miss Bai will be the support.
The reward is three hundred taels of silver, seventy taels for you and Miss Bai, eighty taels for Pang Hu and me. If there's no problem, give me the mercenary card and I'll go through the procedures.
"No problem, Captain." Lin Yu handed the mercenary card to Captain Chen.?"Alright, Pang Hu, compensate Lin Yu with something to eat. We'll set off later.”
Lin Yu started eating without hesitation and chatted with Pang Hu. Lin Yu saw that Miss Bai was only drinking some tea and pulled Pang Hu to the side mysteriously. "Big Brother Pang Da, is Miss Bai mute? He did not hear her say a single word.”
"Brother, Miss Bai is not mute, but she seldom speaks. Don't worry about her. Let's continue."
An hour later, Captain Chen returned. He tidied up and set off.
