Chapter 268: The real "first mission"

That night, Boss Dave rarely did a "midnight song", and early the next morning, he just hung his voice and sang two high notes for no more than ten minutes - to be honest, it was similar to his singing. Than, the simple high pitch without rhythm actually sounds a little less uncomfortable, just like someone was hitting the washbasin with a hammer and smashed the washbasin.

After having a simple breakfast at the hotel, the "Novice on the Road" adventure team set off again to the Adventurer's Association.

Yesterday's task of finding a cat was definitely impossible to complete. They had to cancel this task before they could take over the next task.

This is free to take on tasks that are freely given up, and giving up tasks doesn't hurt credit ratings—even if it hurts, it doesn't matter, because they don't have credit ratings at all.

Coincidentally, when they were discussing with the receptionist aunt about a more reliable task, Glass came in.

Compared with yesterday, Glass's spirit is much better today, and his face even has a shine. Obviously, he found a job on the pier yesterday, made money, and should be full for dinner and breakfast.

Sure enough, as soon as Glass saw everyone, he enthusiastically expressed that he wanted to invite everyone to lunch, and then he told the president of the association that he did not intend to be an adventurer.

The one-legged president was a little surprised and asked why. Glass replied: "I was an adventurer. I was busy all day, and I didn't earn a single penny. But I went to the dock to unload the goods, and I earned three or four silver coins in half a day. It seems that I am still suitable for hard work. Brains are not suitable for me."

The president looked at him blankly, deeply shocked by this sentence.

A Druid who is not low-level, actually wants to go to the dock to be a porter?

Is this what's wrong with his ears? Or is there something wrong with the world?

"It's either you're crazy, or I'm crazy..." He muttered to himself, took the adventurer badge handed by Glass, and pressed this simple magic item on the specially made magic spar to eliminate it. I checked the credit history inside, and then refunded the deposit—two silver coins.

"I'll be here again at noon, if you have time, come here, I'll treat you!" Glass explained to the pandas and the others, and happily walked out of the Adventurer's Association, leaving only the sighing people in the association.

"This young man...will become a great man in the future!" After a while, the receptionist aunt sighed in a low voice, "I have seen too many adventurers, and they are so poor that they can't afford to eat and still hold the face of adventurers, and finally degenerate into criminals. There are many, but this is the first time I have encountered someone who can throw away their adventurer status and become a porter.”

"He's not even an adventurer, so what else can he do?" the president said unhappily.

"He is still young, and anything is possible in the future."

Next, the two bosses of the Adventurer's Association had a detailed discussion. If they were all recorded, they might need to print a few A4 sheets in size 5, but the result was not unexpected. Neither of them was able to who to persuade.

Because of their debate, Panda and his apprentices watched a good show and heard a lot of interesting rumors. Panda even found that his "Country Rumors" skill had greatly increased, and maybe he invested a little more experience. can be upgraded.

This skill allows traversers to directly obtain some information about people and things when they have no information. The higher the skill, the more information you get. Because of the strategy group, most traversers don't invest even a little experience in this skill, they just let it grow naturally as they travel and take risks.

The same is true of Panda. At present, his skill is not even a level 10 expert, which is somewhat lacking for an adventure team leader.

So he pondered for a while, invested some experience points, and raised this skill to the expert level.

"Expert" sounds like a lot of stuff, but it's not at all. The so-called "experts" are also divided into three, six, and nine grades. The difference between experts of legendary skills and experts of basic skills is like a natural moat.

Rural rumors are basic skills, not to mention the promotion to the expert level, even if it is promoted to the master level or even the master level, it is useless.

Of course, no matter how low-level skills, as long as the level is high enough, they are still very powerful. When I was playing the game, someone once upgraded this skill to the mythical level above the legendary level. His game ID is called Harmony, and he is currently acting as a human computer in the guild castle library, responsible for producing various information books, and providing remote intelligence support to other travelers, hence the nickname "Gu Ge".

The expert-level rural rumor skills allow Panda to finally get rid of the smeared eyes when facing the adventurer's mission, and can only rely on mission information and the dilemma of Gu Ge's remote support. For example, in the next task, this skill is very useful.

hunt down criminals.

Because of the war, a large number of soldiers and decent adventurers have gone to the Norma line, leaving the rear empty. Many villains who didn't dare to make trouble have jumped out and made waves.

These criminals may not have any great ability - if they really have the ability, they will never jump out so early, at least they have to observe the situation for a while and then decide what to do. But these incompetent criminals have already posed a huge threat to ordinary civilians.

For example, the one that the "Rookie on the Road" adventure team is going to hunt down today, that's it.

This guy was originally a painter. God knows why, he stabbed the hotel waiter to death, and then escaped from the city before it was revealed. Originally, the job of chasing such criminals should be carried out by the guards of Pollock City, but because of the war, the soldiers in the city were transferred to the front line, and the rest really had no manpower to hunt down the murderers, so they could only be handed over to adventurers. they do it.

A mere painter is certainly not worth letting those senior adventurers take action. Although the novice team looks down and out, there are at least three men, and the leader is an orc. Facing such a guy who has just turned from a civilian to a murderer, at least the safety is not a problem.

After accepting the task, Panda set off from the South Gate with his apprentices and hurriedly flew into the distance.

According to the mission information, the painter went out from the south gate. The guards at the city gate saw him on the bridge, and he would never know if he was far away.

So what they have to do, first of all, is to determine whether this guy is running for his life on the road? Or escaped into the nearby forest?

In fact, to solve this problem, the most suitable person is Glass. His dog is very intelligent and has a good sense of smell, which is suitable for this task.

However, although pandas do not have dogs, they also have a substitute.

…Panda himself.
