spooky invasion

Chapter 1259 The Abyss Tribe’s Bounty Mission
A small conflict at the entrance of the Adventurer's Guild was not a big deal after all. Compared to the excitement of Titan City State now, this small conflict was not even a big deal, and it could not create any big waves at all.

In the final analysis, this is just a conflict between adventurers. This kind of conflict happens every day and is staged every day.

Although the plot is slightly different this time, the mushroom man who was supposed to be stepped on actually counterattacked and gained the upper hand in the hands of a ruthless person like Copper Box.However, the Mushroom Man finally chose to settle the matter, doesn’t it also mean that the Mushroom Man is still inferior after all?

Otherwise, you have won, and you have won so openly, why don't you dare to accept the spoils, but choose to take a step back?
To put it bluntly, isn't it because he is of low strength and is afraid of retaliation from the copper box afterwards, so he is playing dirty tricks behind his back?
Yes, you mushroom man won this time.But it was just that he was too proud to win the bronze box and underestimated the enemy, so the mushroom man chose the gambling method.Otherwise, even if you mushroom man is good at earth magic, as long as you don't gamble on earth magic and the several fields that mushroom people are good at, what are you going to win?

In terms of overall strength, Mushroom Man is still a younger brother after all.

Therefore, after rejecting a number of invitees one after another, no one in the guild cared about the three mushroom men. Everyone was busy with their own affairs, so how could they spend their free time on the mushroom men.

Even among the rejected adventurer teams, many people secretly murmured that these three mushroom people simply didn't know how to appreciate them.

Kindly invite them to join, and it will be a delicious meal for them to eat.I didn’t expect that this mushroom man was still on the road.Do you really think that just by practicing magic alone, you can command huge prices?Do you really want to reach the sky in one step?
The ridiculous mushroom man is simply wishful thinking.

At first glance, they are innocent mushroom people who have never been beaten by society. Once they are beaten by life, they will know that adventurers are not so easy to eat.

The Adventurer's Guild continues to release quests, and adventurer teams continue to leave the guild after receiving quests.Naturally, other groups of adventurers will continue to pour in.

People come and go, just like the tide.

The previous gambling turmoil was also diluted in this huge crowd, until no one talked about it at all.

Jiang Yue and the others have been wandering around the hall, and they have also been observing the tasks that the guild continues to release.He seemed extremely devoted.

Looking at the attitude of the adventurer team that invited Jiang Yue and the others to join before, they guessed that these three mushroom men probably did not trust other adventurer teams, or were worried about suffering a loss, and did not want to join other adventurer teams. They were only willing to Go it alone.For mushroom people, this idea is quite reasonable.

However, if three mushroom men form a team to do tasks on their own, what high-level tasks can they receive?It's not that there aren't high-level tasks here.On the contrary, the Titan City-State Guild has quite a few high-level tasks.But the mushroom people's combat effectiveness and comprehensive abilities doomed them to not be qualified to apply for high-level tasks.

Don't say that if someone doesn't hire you, even if your qualifications can't stand the test, you won't be qualified to receive it at all.

But Jiang Yue was extremely serious, looking like an adventurer pursuing advancement, working hard for his own livelihood without slacking off at all.Even winning the gambling battle earlier did not seem to make him complacent and forgetful.

On the bright side, most of the adventurer team would not continue to focus on the three mushroom men, but there were still some people who were secretly observing them.

And Jiang Yue also knew that someone else was secretly observing them.This didn't even require Jiang Yue to use his borrowing skills. He could feel the attention hidden in the dark just by intuition.

The group in the Bronze Box were paying attention to them intentionally or unintentionally, and from other corners, there would occasionally be angles where they would glance at them from time to time.

These are all understandable. After all, the gambling turmoil has passed, and it will eventually become a topic of conversation. It is reasonable for it to attract attention occasionally.The aftermath of the gambling fight cannot be completely dissipated at once without leaving any trace.

What surprised Jiang Yue was that there was a concern within the guild. Although it had been well hidden, Jiang Yue was still keenly aware of it.

Jiang Yue was not complacent. On the contrary, he disliked the attention.In his opinion, this attention is definitely not a good thing.

Speaking of adventurers, they are just rough guys.Being targeted by these people is nothing more than a matter of gratification and enmity, and it will not rise to much of a big picture.

But if the relevant high-level officials of the guild were to target them, this would be a completely different matter, and it would very likely cause big trouble.Jiang Yue did not want any potential crisis that might lead to his identity to be exposed.As long as there is any sign of it, Jiang Yue hopes to snuff it out as soon as possible.

But now, it is not easy to eliminate this trend.I can't run over and ask which guild leader is secretly sizing me up, right?If this is the case, it will only make things worse.

The best strategy at the moment is to act stupid, pretend not to know, and then quietly observe who the senior guild leader is and what his intentions are.

Jiang Yue was not overly nervous, and the situation did not deteriorate to the point of revealing his identity.

After all, if their identities were exposed, they would not be able to safely operate in the guild hall at this moment, and they would have been surrounded long ago.

Even if the guild doesn't plan to round them up openly or alert them, it will at least deploy more manpower to keep an eye on them.

However, there was no situation where multiple people were following the guild.In other words, this comes from the guild's concern and is probably just a personal behavior.

If it were just a personal act, it would be much easier to handle.

Ok?
Jiang Yue's eyes suddenly stopped on a three-star mission that had just been released less than an hour ago.The party offering the reward for this mission is surprisingly one of the ten golden ethnic groups, the Abyssal Tribe.

Jiang Yue heard Ah Piao mention these three words yesterday.I knew that the Abyss tribe’s team participating in the auction was staying at the inn where A Piao worked, the most luxurious Vientiane Hotel in Titan City State.

The task issued by the Abyssal Clan was also simple. They actually wanted to find a group of errands to help purchase supplies, and these supplies were just daily necessities to meet their daily needs.

For this matter, it stands to reason that the Abyss Tribe's own servants can handle it for them.After all, when such a powerful force travels, there will always be a lack of attendants to take care of food, daily life, and daily life.

But he just issued this task. Perhaps, his followers looked down upon such a simple job.

The market price of the reward for the three-star mission is 800 silver coins, but the Abyss clan is obviously not short of money. They are very arrogant and directly raise the price to 2000.But of course there are requirements.

I don’t want those veteran adventurers in the team, I don’t want the arrogant local snakes, and I don’t even want the mad creatures with manic blood and troublesome people. The special requirement is that it’s best to be pure creatures.He has a gentle personality, listens to orders, is honest and kind, and will not engage in small tricks such as short-sightedness and personal enrichment.

The requirements are actually not high, and there are not many Titan city-states that can meet these requirements.

The clerk at the guild also knew Jiang Yue and the three mushroom men, and he laughed and said: "You three have been in the limelight just now. Joining those big adventurer teams is not more promising than working alone? Are you applying for this mission? Haha , to tell you the truth, there are already more than a dozen batches of people who have signed up for this task."

It has only been so long since the announcement, but already more than a dozen batches have signed up?It seems that the atmosphere here is really hot.But having said that, this three-star mission is close to a four-star reward, which is really exciting.It is definitely a big temptation for those small teams that can't achieve anything high or low.No wonder it's so popular.

This is because the clerk is in a good mood and wants to say a few words to them.If you ask someone else to apply, they won't talk nonsense to you. You will also need to pay a small application fee for applying.Although it’s not much, it’s still an expense, right?
"Thanks for the reminder. I would like to ask, when will the registration for this task stop? How to select?"

"Haha, looking at this situation, registration will close in three hours at most. There is no point in waiting any longer. The person who is the sponsor is still waiting in the guild."

"The boss of the Abyss tribe?" Jiang Yue's tone revealed a kind of respect for the strong.

"Haha, can the Abyss clan boss come in person? He is just a housekeeper responsible for daily life. But don't underestimate the housekeeper. He has power in his hands, and he is no different from the boss. What he represents may be the boss's will. ."

"Yes, to us, they are all big bosses."

"Haha, you are quite humble. I have explained everything to you clearly, do you still want to repay me?"

"Of course you have to repay. You have to eat. The cost of living in this Titan city-state is not low. If you don't work hard to make money, it will be difficult to survive."

The clerk shook his head, obviously thinking that the Titan city-state was good, but why did you mushroom people come to join in the fun?Do you really think that this place is full of gold and you can just pick it up?

Of course, he would never say these words.If it weren't for the constant influx of these unknown adventurers, how could the guild be so lively?Without the excitement of the guild, how could these clerks eat shit?Who pays them?

It can be said that these clerks are like thousands of adventurers who are supporting them with their blood, sweat and even their lives.

Naturally, they can't make sarcastic remarks or throw cold water on it.

After registering, the clerk quickly opened the certificate and said: "You will be notified in a moment to participate in the selection, and the steward of the Abyss over there will personally select the people. Don't go far, it is best not to leave the guild. In the tavern of the guild hall Sit down and wait."

Jiang Yue had no intention of leaving in a hurry. He had not achieved his purpose of coming to the guild, so how could he leave so easily?

Each guild hall has many taverns, but none are too high-end. Generally, they are mid- to low-end, which can meet the needs of these adventurer teams.

Jiang Yue had funds for activities, but he couldn't spend money like water in public, so naturally he still had to act like he was planning carefully.

After all, their current status is as adventurers looking for jobs, and they are also mushroom people with status.How can you act like you're not short of money?This is obviously inappropriate, eye-catching, easy to attract hatred, and eye-catching.

As soon as the three of them walked into an ordinary tavern, a figure followed them in.Before Jiang Yue and the others could sit down, the man caught up with them.

Surprisingly, it was Lao Shi who had let him go before Jiang Yue.

Lao Shi was quite thick-skinned. He licked his face and said hello: "Brothers, I've offended you just now. I'd like you to spare my life. The more I think about it, the more embarrassed I feel. If I could treat you all to a drink, I would This will make you feel better."

Jiang Qiao frowned and said, "Isn't that necessary?"

Sangou said: "Don't you think one life is worth a bar?"

"That's not it, it's not. Three brothers, please don't misunderstand me. I owe you my life, and I, Lao Shi, will always remember it in my heart. This wine is both a thank you and an apology, and it has no intention of taking my life." Lao Shi quickly explained. With.

Deep down in his heart, Jiang Qiao resists people like Lao Shi. He is not as mean as you when it comes to flirting. When the real thing comes, he is greedy for life and afraid of death, and is full of ugliness. In this case, why bother to cause trouble?

Jiang Yue waved his hand, signaling Jiang Qiao and San Gou not to say anything more. Instead, he looked at Lao Shi with a smile and made a gesture to indicate that Lao Shi should sit opposite him.

Lao Shi smiled apologetically, moved a stool and sat down shamelessly.

This kind of old Jianghu will naturally not feel uncomfortable just because Jiang Qiao makes fun of him.He was still very enthusiastic and emphasized in a flattering manner: "This meal must be mine. You can drink or eat whatever you like. Although I, Old Shi, are down and out, I can still treat you to a drink in this tavern." rise."

Of course Jiang Yue and the others had no intention of feasting and drinking, they were just waiting for news from over there.

Seeing Lao Shi's attitude, I'm afraid it would be impossible not to invite him to this drink.Jiang Yue didn't show any pretense at that moment.At this level of consumption, spending ten or twenty silver coins is hard enough and rich enough.

When the drinks were served, Lao Shi made a circle attentively, and then specially offered a toast to Jiang Yue, expressing his gratitude again and again.

And he did it very happily himself.

After drinking to a certain level, Lao Shi started talking more, talking about what happened when he was at his most glorious, and how he fell into decline step by step.At the end of the sentence, Lao Shi's eyes were red, and his tone was filled with sadness and regret.

"Brother Mushroom Man, it's not me, Shi Chui. If I had a backer like Bronze Box, I wouldn't necessarily be worse off than him. To put it bluntly, even if you are a gangster these days, there must be someone above you. Without a backer, you can do anything. Don’t try to make it big.”

Jiang Yue chuckled and said: "Old Shi, you can speak so clearly, why don't you find a backer yourself?"

"I'd like to think so, but who can look down on me, a down-and-out charlatan? And in this circle, there is never help in times of trouble, only adding insult to injury. I, old Shi, am unlucky. How many people have ruined my reputation and want to make me look bad on the street. Which of these backers do you think is willing to accept a stinky adventurer?"

This guy has probably been wronged for too long and has gone crazy.

Based on his awkward relationship with Jiang Yue and the others, these words were originally impossible to say.It is the most basic interpersonal principle to communicate in a superficial way but not in depth.

But he still couldn't hold it back, and he spoke very emotionally and deeply, which showed that he was feeling aggrieved for more than a day or two.
