Chapter 1 Upgrading and Fighting Monsters and Gold Coins
Chapter 1 Upgrading and Fighting Monsters and Gold Coins
As the sun set, the afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled a circle of golden fur on the trees of the Nightmare Forest, making this place full of countless dangerous monsters look less scary.
In the forest, a convoy of three carriages was galloping forward on a winding path that had been walked out.The logo of the Chamber of Commerce was hung on the first carriage, and it was obviously a wealthy businessman inside. Several large boxes were stacked on the two carriages behind, which further confirmed the previous conjecture.
The door curtain of the carriage at the front was partly lifted by an old hand full of jewel rings, and an urging voice came out: "Hurry up, we must arrive in Simon City before dark!"
The driver's face was also very pale, and he increased the whip in his hand.He even wanted to appear at the gate of Simon City in the next moment. The Nightmare Forest is not a place worth lingering at in the dark.
After urging the coachman, Bernie sat down again in his seat, and said to the two companions who were also gorgeously dressed: "Damn it, the merchants in Terence City are really too long-winded. Their silk, I will never go to that place full of poverty in my life!"
One of them nodded in agreement, and the other said, "Yes, the key is to traverse the entire Nightmare Forest. These damn Terence people don't want to kill us, do they?"
"I heard two days ago that a six-star monster appeared in the Nightmare Forest. It's simply shocking." Nibo suddenly thought of this, his face changed slightly, and he looked suspiciously out of the increasingly dark window.
"So, Master Neb..." The last person in the carriage, the black-haired young man covered in light steel armor, said, "It is very necessary to hire a bounty hunter when you travel far this year, and it is absolutely necessary for you to stay at home. A must-have choice for traveling and doing business.”
The person who didn't speak just now spoke now: "The price of the bounty hunter is too high. If we didn't make money this trip, we don't want to pay two hundred gold coins."
The young man didn't take it seriously, and Nibo spoke slowly: "I'd rather my money be free than see the hideous faces of monsters. God, I'm really going to have nightmares!"
As soon as Master Niebo's nightmare prophecy was spoken, there was a sound of horses from outside, and the car stopped suddenly. outside direction.
"Master, there are... there are monsters!" The coachman shouted from outside, it was hard to imagine that such a tall and thick man could be so charming.
The young man smiled slightly: "You are going to have nightmares at night, Mr. Neb, but the good news is that your money is not wasted."
The young man gently brushed the curtain of the carriage, and got out of the carriage from the coachman who was almost paralyzed by fright.Judging from his feelings, he knew that it would not be some troublesome monster. As expected, it was just ten tree demon monsters with only two stars.The boy sighed dejectedly, the crystal nucleus of a two-star monster is worthless.
Ten long, grotesque monsters that looked like dead trees surrounded the convoy. Their vine-like tentacles waved slowly in the air, as if they were about to swarm up and tear the boy apart in the next moment.
The boy's lazy eyes suddenly turned cold, and the exquisite steel sword on his waist was already in his hand after a crisp sound, and with a slight effort under his feet, he rushed to a tree demon in an instant.
The tree demon let out a ferocious roar, and swung its tentacles high. Before it fell down, the cold front of the steel sword in the boy's hand passed by, and the tentacles fell.
The tree demon let out another tragic cry, and the next moment the sword in the boy's hand pierced into its shriveled body, the tree demon's shining eyes suddenly dimmed, and it fell heavily to the ground.
The young man seemed to have eyes on his back, he quickly withdrew his hand and jumped away, dodged the sneak attack of another tree demon, and cut it off in the middle with a sword.Two companions died, and these low-level monsters didn't know how to learn their lesson, so they still rushed at the boy, and the result can be imagined.
Master Nib, who was lying on the door of the carriage, looked at the boy's tossing and correcting exercises, and couldn't help applauding.He spent [-] gold coins to hire a team of bounty hunters, and the young man came alone made him very unhappy, but now it has been proved that the young man has some skills, it is worth the money!
In less than ten seconds, all the ferocious-looking monsters fell to the ground. Nibo said happily, "Young man is really skilled. Uh, what are you doing, young man?"
Nibo couldn't believe his eyes, this young man who was quite an expert just now was doing something that didn't fit well with an expert.The young man squatted next to the corpses of the tree demons, pawing at their withered bodies, pulling out two-star crystal nuclei worth five silver coins, and carefully putting them into the pouch on his waist.
The corner of Master Neb's mouth twitched, is this man so short of money?
After collecting ten crystal nuclei, the boy got into the carriage contentedly, and the carriage continued to drive towards Simon City.The next journey was not so thrilling. When the moon came out, the carriage entered the gate of Simon City steadily.
Receiving the token from the Bounty Hunters Guild representing the completion of the mission from Nibo, the teenager stuffed it into his pocket with satisfaction: "Master Nibo, please allow me to introduce myself before parting. Zhuo Jun, the leader of the team, if you have any missions in the future, you can come to me directly, skipping the guild can save a lot of handling fees."
Nibo nodded, and handed over his name card: "Captain Zhuo Jun, this is the old man's name card. The old man is in charge of hosting the auction at the Simon City Chamber of Commerce. If you have a chance, you can find me."
"Definitely." After putting away the things, Zhuo Jun waved goodbye to Nibo and his party.
The Simon City, which was just lit up with lights, was very lively, and there was an endless stream of pedestrians coming and going.Zhuo Jun looked at the dark sky and sighed secretly. It has been half a year since he came to this world, but there are only less than [-] gold coins in his space ring. When will he be able to go home...
Yes, Zhuo Jun is what people often call a time traveler, but he was forcibly thrown into this world by a masked pervert, saying that he had to complete three tasks before he could go home.The first task is to earn enough [-] million gold coins.Zhuo Jun didn't expect that in reality, as the rich second generation, he would have to earn [-] million pennies here.Every time Zhuo Jun thinks of this impossible task, Zhuo Jun feels a pain in the ass, the first task is such a ghost, Zhuo Jun feels that he will not be able to receive the last two tasks in his lifetime.
After sighing, Zhuo Jun shook his head, he still has to do it!The days without a mobile phone or the Internet are too difficult, and we still have to fight to go home!
Simon City is the most prosperous commercial city in the southern part of the Os Empire. The Chamber of Commerce, the Bounty Hunters Guild, and the Eternal God's Society all have large branches here.You can tell what the first two are doing from their names. As for the Eternal God's Association, which represents the religious power of this continent, generally speaking, they are sanctimonious and villainous organizations in novels, but in fact their reputation is very good. It is also attributed to the aforementioned Aussie Empire.
The Os Empire is one of the two powerful countries on this continent, and it is also the country with the largest territory. It is bordered by another powerful country, the Quentin Empire, and the unlucky Rhodes Kingdom is sandwiched between them.The current emperor of the Oss Empire, Oss VI, is a good-for-nothing who knows nothing but licentiousness, squandering the national power accumulated by his ancestors every day.In the eyes of the Quentin Empire, which was in urgent need of expanding its territory, this was simply a lamb delivered to the door. The two countries were fighting hard, and the Kingdom of Rhodes in the middle was trembling.Afterwards, the headquarters of the Eternal Gods Association moved to the capital of Rhodes Kingdom. With the protection of the Eternal Gods Association, this small country avoided the fate of destroying the country, so the whole country was promoting the Eternal Gods Association.On the side of the Ostian Empire, under the superficial prosperity are the corpses of the high-ranking people and the poverty and suffering of the people at the bottom. The Eternal God will distribute food to save the people in various parts of the Ostian Empire, and stabilize the people's grievances.Otherwise, in this continent where monsters and thieves are rampant, the Aussie Empire would have long since become history.Therefore, due to various reasons, the Eternal God will have a high status in all countries in the mainland, and the public will.
But these messy things have nothing to do with Zhuo Jun for the time being, he is only focused on saving money now.
Zhuo Jun didn't go directly to the guild to hand in the task, but went to the black market and sold the crystal core he just got and the rags he had saved before.Holding a few pitiful gold coins, Zhuo Jun ran to an empty corner and quietly put the money in the space ring.
Speaking of this ring, Zhuo Jun burst into tears again.When he first came here, he thought that the space ring was a rotten street item. It wasn't until he put money in it in front of the crowd and was attacked by thieves that he didn't know that he, the five scumbags of war, might hold the only space ring in the world.Since then, he never dared to let outsiders know this.
This ring is what the mask pervert gave him, it seems to be called a collector or something.Every time Zhuo Jun stuffs money in, the thing will vibrate slightly, telling him how much money is inside, and how much money is still short of [-] million gold coins.Every day, Zhuo Jun's heart suffers from it, and the pain is beyond words.
After picking up a bag of rags, Zhuo Jun walked into the hall of the Bounty Hunters Guild grandly, finally able to collect the money!But when he saw three younger brothers waiting for him in the corner of the hall as agreed, his heart was extremely heavy.These three troublesome bastards huddled in the corner ghostly, like thieves... Well, they were indeed thieves before, but now they are members of Zhuo Jun's bounty hunter group.
The three of them waved their arms excitedly when they saw their boss.Zhuo Jun covered his face, could he pretend that he didn't know them?
You can't blame Zhuo Jun for despising them, just blame these three people, it's really weird.
The short man on the far left is Mike, wearing a hooded attendant, with a longbow and quiver slung across his body.This guy claims to have one-sixteenth of the elven blood, and he dyed the hair on his head golden yellow with dyeing fruit.But judging from his archery level, the elves would not admit it.
The tall, skinny man in the middle was Linton, wearing a magic suit and a fake wizard hat on his head.Yes, Linton is a relatively rare magician on the mainland, but Zhuo Jun didn't see any magician in him except he was very good at bragging.It is worth mentioning that when this guy casts magic, the only advantage of quick talk is gone. He needs to sing and dance for more than ten seconds to release the fireball technique that others have come to hand.
The last one is Misha, the only girl, but this girl is a heavy armored soldier.Yes, a female heavy armor soldier that is even rarer than a magician.The rusted iron armor weighed more than before, and with the growth of Misha's muscles, the armor almost didn't fit.Misha's sister has been holding a copper shield all year round, saying it is her father's relic.This shield is very thick, and the calm color on the surface looks unbreakable... If you ignore the half-foot-long crack on the top.
According to the routine in the novel, the more miscellaneous the character, the louder the name, and these three people perfectly confirmed this point.Their titles are: Elven Prince, Great Magician, Shield of the Empire... Zhuo Jun can easily beat the three of them by himself, so one can imagine their true nature.The four of them formed the most unknown of the thousands of bounty hunters, an upgraded monster-fighting and gold-coin hunting group.
When registering this name, these three people swore to the death, they felt that this vernacular name did not match their great name.Later, in front of Zhuo Jun's complete power crushing, the ghost name was decided.
Zhuo Jun didn't bother to pay attention to them, he walked directly to the workbench and handed him the token from Nibo: "I want to hand in the task."
The mustache in the leather coat glanced at Zhuo Jun, lazily took it, slowly opened the thick and outrageous notebook, found the number and began to compare the patterns.
The process of the guild mission is like this. When someone comes to hire a bounty hunter, the guild will record the mission content, conditions, rewards, etc., and at the same time form a unique complex pattern, and keep one copy and give it to the mission issuer as a token .After the bounty hunters receive the task, they set out and complete it, and then return to the guild with the token to submit. The guild staff will check the number and confirm that the token is correct before giving money.Of course, you can also kill your employer to snatch tokens, and you can get more goods along the way, but you will be hunted down by the guild in this way, it is better to be a robber directly, and you will not be able to offend the bounty hunter guild.If the task fails or the task is not carried out, it will lower the evaluation of your team. If the evaluation is low to a certain extent, don't expect to receive the task in the future.
The mustache meticulously checked back and forth with the token, and looked at Zhuo Jun suspiciously.Zhuo Jun stood there patiently and let him look at him, he has long been used to it.It may be that Zhuo Jun's appearance is worthy of his word "Jun". Anyone who looks at him thinks he is a little boy, not like a bounty hunter at all.
After looking at it for a long time, he didn't see anything suspicious, so he took out a bag of gold coins.Zhuo Jun thanked him, immediately tore the bag away, and left the hall swiftly.
"Boss, wait for us!" Mike's footsteps and shouts came from behind.
The four sneaked into the corner, the three skillfully blocked Zhuo Jun behind him, and Zhuo Jun quickly stuffed the gold coin into the space ring.
That's right, they knew Zhuo Jun's secret, because they were the thieves who attacked Zhuo Jun at the beginning... Now that they have become Zhuo Jun's younger brothers, both of them feel that it is really a bad relationship.Sometimes Zhuo Jun felt that if even a group of trash like them could earn [-] million gold coins, the world would be too irrational.
After reassuring, Zhuo Jun pushed them away: "Can you stop doing this in the future? I always feel like I'm urinating everywhere."
Elf Prince Mike grabbed his golden hair: "But it's a big deal if you get discovered. After all, it's hard for weak thieves like us to meet the second wave."
"Thank you for your self-knowledge," Zhuo Jun said with a smile, "By the way, didn't you go to rob the gang of thieves who claim to be very rich? How did you get it?"
Zhuo Jun was worried about how to make money, and after thinking hard, he came up with a side job: black and white.
Misha, the shield of the empire, straightened out her armor and dropped rust all over the place: "Report to the boss, we have wiped out all the thieves!"
As soon as Zhuo Jun heard this, he knew he was ruined. How could a thief who could be completely wiped out by these three guys be qualified to become rich?That's not a thief, it's a refugee, right?
"I think our information is wrong," the great magician Linton said. "They are not very rich, but very negative. They only have a bag of copper coins and two sheep."
To be honest, Zhuo Jun didn't expect that they could all come back alive, and the two sheep could be considered a small fortune: "Not bad, where are the sheep? Have you sold them?"
"We ate." Mike said honestly.
"Eat? Two!" Zhuo Jun looked at them, what are they doing, what are they eating and what is left!
Misha said aggrievedly: "We also have to eat, and we have to spend money to eat. We have no money, so we can only eat the sheep, and I am not full."
Zhuo Jun stared at them bitterly: "Can't you just sell them and buy steamed buns? It can support you to death!"
Seeing his boss's face getting darker and darker, Linton hurriedly said: "Calm down, boss, we sold the wool and sheepskin for four silver coins!" After speaking, he shook his deflated purse as if begging for praise.
"Bring it!" Zhuo Jun snatched the purse, and the three quickly blocked Zhuo Jun behind him again.
After putting away the money, Zhuo Jun remembered that he hadn't eaten yet, and these three shameless people were delighted to eat mutton, and immediately became unhappy.
The three of them hadn't noticed the problem yet, so Mike said stupidly, "Boss, where are you going? Aren't you going to the guild to continue receiving the mission?"
"Go to your sister! I'm going to find a place to eat and sleep." Zhuo Jun said angrily.
Linton immediately came over to please: "Report to the boss, I found a super cheap restaurant, ten copper coins cover board and lodging, and you can eat whatever you want."
Young Master Zhuo Jun, who spent money like water in the original world and only wanted to enjoy himself, must have immediately gotten excited when he said this: "Go, take me there quickly! I want to ask their boss if the yearly package can be cheaper!"
The three of them were used to Zhuo Jun popping up words they didn't understand from time to time. Under Linton's leadership, they wandered around in this bustling city and walked into the worst street.
