Wu Yu and his group will be leaving Green Town in three days.

Wu Yu thought that after returning home with Jack, he could enjoy a period of peace and stability. However, he never expected that he would soon be living a life without a fixed abode. Life is truly unpredictable. But he had to finish the path he had chosen, even if he had to crawl on his knees.

Today, Wu Yu is going to make preparations for his upcoming trip. After all, Wu Yu knows his own limitations, and expecting him to protect Violet is simply wishful thinking. So he decided to find some helpers.

Wu Yu was unfamiliar with Green Town, and it was impossible to expect anyone to volunteer to help him. Fortunately, money could help build the strongest cooperative relationships. With Violet, a wealthy young woman, willing to spend money, Wu Yu was not worried about finding people to help him.

Today, Wu Yu went directly to the Adventurers' Guild. After finding the guild leader, he imitated Jack's manner from last time and said, "Miss, I'm here to post a quest. The quest level is Bronze. The quest objective is to escort Viscount Violet Russell to the capital. The quest requirement is a Bronze-level team of two people. The reward is one gold coin."

The mascot gave Wu Yu a deep look before habitually starting to write the task, and soon a task sheet was completed.

When Wu Yu received the mission sheet, the mascot said, "Mr. Wu Yu, your partner Jack died this month, and your team will be forcibly disbanded. Would you like to team up with others? I can provide you with some incomplete adventurer teams."

Wu Yu's hand trembled slightly as he accepted the mission order. It seemed that he and Jack's team hadn't even decided on a team name yet, and the team had unexpectedly disbanded.

As for the choice of a new teammate, Wu Yu's first thought was Violet. If nothing unexpected happened, the two of them would have to live together for a long time, but this reckless idea was only fleeting.

As a lazy bum who only knows how to shout "666", if he were paired with a burden, the two of them could easily form a freebie duo. Such a dangerous idea must be nipped in the bud.

"No need, I can do it on my own." Wu Yu casually made up an excuse to refuse.

"Mr. Wu Yu is indeed worthy of being Young Master Jack's friend. Going on an adventure alone sounds romantic, but in reality, only true strong people can handle it. Many arrogant brutes will die when they are in danger because no one comes to their rescue."

The signboard girl sighed. She was used to adventurers who received quests from her never returning. Only someone like Jack could touch her heart, which had already learned to be strong.

"I'm not exactly a strongman." Wu Yu chuckled self-deprecatingly, then took the task sheet and headed towards the bulletin board.

Before Wu Yu could finish posting the task sheet, someone came over and stopped him.

"Wu Yu, you don't need to post your mission sheet anymore. I'll take your mission," Layton announced domineeringly, exuding an air of righteous indignation.

However, Wu Yu simply assumed that he was there to cause trouble. He pretended not to hear and posted the task sheet on the task board while complaining, "You don't even know what my task is, yet you want to accept it? Do you think you're an omnipotent god?"

"Isn't it just escorting you to the capital?" Layton immediately refuted him, then tore off the mission sheet with a hand speed far exceeding Wu Yu's.

Wu Yu stared at Layton in shock and asked incredulously, "How could you possibly know about my mission beforehand? Did you overhear my conversation?"

“Hey, don’t belittle me. Do I look like such a lowly person?” Layton complained, “Jack told me everything.”

"Before defeating the bandits, Young Master Jack not only asked me to wait for you at the Adventurers' Guild that night, but also gave me an extra letter. In it, he said that if you were to head to the capital, given your cautious nature, you would definitely come to the Adventurers' Guild to find someone to escort you. Jack asked me to take on this task and escort you to the capital."

"By the way, Young Master Jack also said that since you don't have money to eat out, you will definitely arrive at the Adventurers' Guild world between 3 and 4 pm. I must say, as expected of Young Master Jack, the time range he gave was exactly right."

"If he's so resourceful, why couldn't he have avoided his own death? And Jack, did you forget to tell me something? Whether or not you get the mission is up to me!" Wu Yu said defiantly, then made a move to snatch it.

However, even after his body was strengthened, Wu Yu was still no match for Layton. Layton simply moved to the side, and Wu Yu's attack failed.

Layton advised, "Wu Yu, I've been idle for almost a month waiting for you to post a mission. If you don't give me this one, I might have to starve next month."

Upon hearing this, Wu Yu softened a little, but then Layton added, "This reason was also suggested by Jack. He told me that if I said it this way, you would definitely agree."

"Hmph." Wu Yu snorted arrogantly, and finally gave up on the idea of ​​taking back the mission order.

Jack really had his mind figured out perfectly.

Wu Yu certainly didn't agree out of pity for Layton. Once he learned that Jack had arranged it, he accepted the outcome.

As a smart person, the most important thing is to have self-awareness. When you encounter someone smarter than you, don't try to question them, or you will inevitably make a fool of yourself.

“Then I’ll leave it to you. We’ll be departing in three days,” Wu Yu agreed. Then he added, “Could you grant me another personal request? I’d like to learn how to use battle qi from you. I can’t offer too much in return, but I hope you can name a reasonable price.”
