Beast Tamer: Super Lucky Starting Contract
Chapter 36 Picking up money
Mo Xu discovered that this "ground guardian" looked like a mound from a distance, but it looked more like a large almond when he got closer.
It is narrow at both ends and wide in the middle, and except for the root tissue growing at the bottom, it looks just like the nut wall in Plants vs. Zombies.
The smell emitted by the ground guardian was not unpleasant. Mo Xu walked closer and touched its surface.
It was very rough, and felt neither metal nor soil or stone, but rather the same texture as plant fiber tissue. He just tapped it lightly, and a high-frequency sound came out from the surface of the ground. Obviously, this was a manifestation of its extremely high hardness.
He suppressed the urge to kick, and even the manager's hoe was broken, so he decided not to try.
If you try, you will die. Let Xiu Xiu handle this kind of thing.
"Shhh, feel it too."
Mo Xu loosened his grip, and Xiuxiu jumped out of his arms, ran to the side of "Earth Guard", and patted it with his little hands.
"How about it? We need to clean up these things today. Can we smash them?"
"Well, I think we can try it." Xiu Xiu felt the hardness and asked, "Why break them? Are you going to eat them?"
The "Di Shou" is actually edible, but it is extremely difficult to cook and tastes really bad. In China, things that are easy to cook and delicious are generally not common, and it is good enough that they are not eaten extinct.
"I can't finish it." However, in order to activate Xiu Xiu's foodie nature, he still said, "If you open more, we can buy more delicious food."
Xiu Xiu was encouraged and immediately rubbed his hands: "I'll give it a try."
As soon as it finished speaking, it immediately used the "Wood Armor Technique" and prepared to attack the ground defender while covered in armor.
The manager stood on the road, finished smoking one cigarette and lit another, looking in the direction of Mo Xu.
"It turns out that the grass standing on the young man's shoulder is his monster. I thought there was another one..."
"This ground guard is just messing up my rainbow grass, and now there's another grass guard coming to mess up the ground guard."
He remembered that the last beastmaster's monster was a tiger, which looked quite majestic, but even the tiger returned in defeat. This time, the beastmaster brought a small grass, which looked very weak.
"Will it work?" The manager looked at the action over there with some concern.
"boom!"
There was a loud bang out of nowhere, and the manager almost couldn't hold his cigarette.
It was the fist that hit the outer wall of the ground guard, and the two made a loud noise when they collided.
The ground guard's body had been slightly cracked, with many tiny cracks appearing, and it was shaking slightly in place.
"With such a big fuss, is it possible that it will succeed this time?" The director took another puff of his cigarette.
"How is it, Xiuxiu?" After Xiuxiu threw a punch, Mo Xu asked it how it felt.
"Hmm," Xiu Xiu retracted his fist and recalled the strength just now: "This thing called "Earth Guardian" is harder than that puppet at its hardest."
Xiuxiu means that it is more resistant to attacks than the "Armored Puppet" in the "Iron Wall" state, no wonder this thing is rated as one and a half stars in difficulty. With this defense, even if an extraordinary high-level beastmaster who is not good at attacking comes to fight, the efficiency will not be very high.
"——But breaking it won't be a big problem," Xiu Xiu said casually, "Just give it a few more punches."
"Then go ahead, smash the one in front of you first."
The wooden armor did not come off, but he gathered more strength again and threw several punches at the defender.
Seeing Mo Xu and Xiu Xiu pause, the director was slightly worried: "Did they finish their strongest attack? There is no stamina left."
The manager didn't feel disappointed for long. There was a loud sound of punches over there. Even though he was mentally prepared this time, he was still shocked by the explosive power.
Bang, bang, bang... The ground guard was hit by dozens of punches. The gap in the middle became bigger and bigger. Finally, it could not withstand the destruction and suddenly split along the gap like a watermelon, exposing the fragile stem veins inside.
Its stem veins are connected to the roots at the bottom, so there is no need for any monster at this time, anyone can come forward and pull it out.
The fragile stem had never been exposed to the outside world, and it curled up slightly as if it was afraid. Mo Xu stepped forward, grabbed the stem and pulled it slightly, directly bringing the broken earth guardian out of the ground.
Although it didn't take much effort, the tail of the root was quite long. Mo Xu pulled for a long time before he pulled the entire bottom of the root, which was two meters long. The shell was hard and the roots were long, so it was no wonder that this thing was so difficult to remove.
At this point, the first defense is completely solved!
"Done?!" When the manager saw the guard finally lying down, he threw away his cigarette butt, disregarding his image, and clumsily rolled down the short slope on the road, jogging all the way to Mo Xu's side.
Seeing the remains of the ground guard, he once again confirmed the achievements of Mo Xu and Xiu Xiu and was overjoyed: "Oh my, the little kid is incredible!"
Then he stepped hard on the roots of the ground guard and cursed in dialect.
After venting his anger, the farm manager turned around and held Mo Xu tightly with both hands: "Brother, I am counting on you for this farm. Don't worry, the reward will be delivered on time."
"Of course, of course." Mo Xu pulled his hand back naturally: "Don't worry, Director, I'm here to do my job after accepting the mission."
The director nodded heavily and rubbed his hands: "Okay, okay, Mr. Mo, I'll go prepare food for you. What do you want to eat? Is there anything you shouldn't eat?"
"Well, there's no need to be so troublesome, just be normal."
"That won't work," the director said with a beaming smile, "Then you do it, and I'll show you my skills at noon."
There was hope that the problem of the ground defense would be solved, and the manager's movements when climbing the slope back up the road became much more agile.
Mo Xu chuckled. The employer of this task was quite enthusiastic and thoughtful, so he couldn't let him down with his compensation and expectations.
"Let's continue, hehe."
Mo Xu and Xiu Xiu walked towards the next ground guard.
After the promotion, Xiu Xiu, who was at the initial stage of transcendence, had an energy value close to 200, which was no longer the same as during the previous gambling fight.
Now it can completely suppress the fully activated "armor puppet" with just the "wooden armor technique", and its attack power is monstrous among other primary-level extraordinary monsters. It is precisely because of this that Xiu Xiu was able to complete this task.
After some operations, Mo Xu and Xiu Xiu took care of another ground guard.
There was a clear division of labor. Xio started the dismantling with great force, while Mo Xu pulled out the roots and cleaned up the mess. Later on, the two became more skilled and their cleaning efficiency gradually increased.
"Well, if we weren't afraid of destroying the remaining rainbow grass, we could just let Xiu Xiu use [Giant Extreme] and [Wood Armor] to start rolling on the floor. That would save a lot of trouble."
Mo Xu felt a little sorry. After working for a while, he was indeed a little tired.
The main reason is that the area is too vast. Even if Xiu Xiu can kill all the defenders, it will take a while to clear it out.
Looking back, he saw Ground Guardians breaking out of the ground in the gaps between the rainbow grass behind him. Mo Xu secretly estimated that there were about fifty or sixty of them.
"It's OK. This job makes money quickly."
Mo Xu calculated that earning 30 contribution points in three hours was enough to cover the monthly salary for many low-level tasks.
"Go, go, go!" Mo Xu and Xiu Xiu continued to fight. Who would complain that money comes slowly?
-
At noon, the manager rode his electric scooter to the edge of the field. Looking at the situation on the ground, he was completely convinced of Mo Xu's abilities.
"This beastmaster is good this time."
The manager shouted to the distance, addressing Mo Xu in a higher tone: "Master Mo, stop working for now, it's time for lunch."
The electric scooter drove forward to the road closest to Mo Xu. Mo Xu walked down the slope and said to the factory manager, "We need to send some people from the factory to clean up the bodies of the ground guards on the floor. It's hard for me to do it myself."
The director looked at the mess on the ground and was so happy that he waved his hand and said, "Master Xiao Mo, just go and fix it. We can handle this little thing ourselves."
"Let's eat first, there's no rush for these things." The director called Mo Xu to get in the car. He was very anxious in the morning, but now he was quite calm.
Of course Mo Xu was happy to have someone do the chores, so he put Xiu Xiu into the extraordinary space and got on the director's electric scooter.
The farm manager drove Mo Xu to the farm's reception room. There was indeed a large table of food, including food prepared specifically for Xiu Xiu.
There were more than a dozen employees from the farm in the restaurant, and the farm manager even took out a bottle of wine: "I'm happy today. This is a good wine made with monsters. I made it myself. Let Master Xiao Mo and everyone have a taste."
Mo Xu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He thought the director was just going to treat him to a good meal, but he didn't expect it to be like a banquet.
He waved his hands to indicate that he was not much of a drinker.
The director slapped his head and said, "Look at my brain. You still have to work hard in the afternoon, so you can't drink. Let's do it. Master Xiao Mo, just drink the juice."
After filling the glasses, the farm manager stood up and raised a glass. "Today we welcome Master Xiao Mo and his powerful monster, er... this grass... grass god, to solve the crisis for our farm. Everyone welcome!"
After stumbling over his words, the director drank the whole glass in one gulp. The atmosphere was lively, and the employees toasted Mo Xu one after another.
These employees are sincere, and the farm's profits are also theirs. It's been almost a month, and the trouble with the ground guard has not been solved. The task reward has been raised three times. If this continues, the farm will lose a lot of money.
"Eat some food, eat some food." The manager called out to Mo Xu. Next to Xiu Xiu was a bottle of energy drink that he had bought from the city.
The farm director was very happy during the dinner. He kept drinking until his cheeks turned red. He praised Mo Xu and Xiu Xiu's strength, saying that Mo Xu had the qualities of a master and would definitely be a major leader in Jiangming City in the future. At the same time, he recalled the hardships and glorious years when he founded the farm.
"He's like this," said a young man with glasses sitting next to Mo Xu. "My uncle couldn't sleep for the past few days. At first, he went to the fields every day to check on them, but later he didn't dare to go to the fields to check on them."
This person is the farm accountant and the farm manager's nephew. He clinked glasses with Mo Xu again and said, "He is just happy today. Don't mind it."
"No, the manager is a nice person." Mo Xu also took a full sip of juice.
"I really envy you beast masters." The accountant took a bite of food and looked at Mo Xu and Xiu Xiu enviously: "I wish I could be a beast master too."
Mo Xu smiled faintly and said, "Each has its own difficulties. None of them are easy."
"Too."
-
After the show, the director was obviously drunk and was dragged back to the room to rest.
The accountant asked Mo Xu if he wanted to take a nap as well, and Mo Xu said no, he just wanted to rest for a while.
The accountant nodded and told Mo Xu to do as he pleased and to come to him directly if he had any problems. He could make the decision even if his uncle was not around.
The farm was so vast that Mo Xu had to clear two acres of it in the morning. Time was tight and the task was heavy, so he only rested for half an hour before going back to clearing the land.
Of course, the main reason is that they gave too much.
It was another hard afternoon, and Mo Xu didn't finish his work until the evening.
In a whole day, he cleared more than seven acres of land and killed more than 100 ground guards in total. Conservatively estimated, he earned 70 contribution points.
The director was sober now, and he warmly treated Mo Xu and Xiu Xiu to a dinner. He also asked someone to drive Mo Xu back to the city.
Before leaving, Mo Xu told the manager that if there were new people who also wanted to take the task, they should be allowed to go together.
Because if he calculated the time, it would take him four days to clean up all the ground guards by himself, and by then he would be about to start school, so the schedule was too tight.
The manager readily agreed to Mo Xu's request. His reward was based on quantity. If just a few people came, the expense would be the same. On the contrary, more people would take less time.
"Master Mo, we will give you contribution points after we count the quantity." The manager respectfully sent Mo Xu to the car and asked Mo Xu to leave his card number.
"Ok."
Thinking about how many contribution points could be credited to his account in one day, Mo Xu touched his chin and felt that this kind of job was really good. Compared to other tasks that the extraordinary level could do, guarding the ground with a hammer was simply like picking up money.
