Chapter 38 [Seeking support and collection]
Lin Leyou frowned, thinking, "No way, isn't Cao Bei always at odds with Song Ying? Oh well, it's none of my business."
He waved to Song Ying, then turned and left. He came down the earthen slope and walked a few steps to the very flat roadside, where the car stopped. The driver was the same old man who had brought him there before.
The middle-aged man looked at him and said, "Tsk tsk, I didn't expect you to be alright."
Lin Leyou got into the car and sat in the passenger seat. "Why do you say that?"
The uncle started the car and drove towards Endless City. "Song Camp in Shangyu Village... never mind, as long as you're alright, don't ask too much. You'll know what you need to know when the time comes."
Lin Leyou blinked. Since that was the case, she couldn't ask any more questions.
"Uncle, I don't have a place to stay right now. Do you have any recommendations?"
Uncle, "There are some, but buying or renting a house is very expensive. I still recommend you take a job."
Lin Leyou, "The cheapest..."
Uncle, "Sigh... The cheapest house costs 1 point or 10,000 gold coins per day to rent. If you want to buy it, you can only use points, and the minimum is 50,000 points."
Lin Leyou: "It's so expensive."
This is just the cheapest house; the expensive ones...
Uncle, "The cheapest house is just a house, which is easy to break into. If you take a job, the person who hires you will at least provide you with a completely safe place to live, unless you actively invite danger in, otherwise it is absolutely safe."
Lin Leyou said, "Thank you, uncle. Here, have some snacks."
He took some snacks out of his backpack and put them in the car. The uncle didn't refuse and drove him to Endless City. "Finding a job is very difficult. They never advertise openly. I don't know how you found the job in Shangyu Village. Anyway, good luck."
Lin Leyou smiled but didn't say anything. He realized that he couldn't just talk about how he worked, so he would have to be a little more careful in the future.
Upon arriving in Endless City, the uncle dropped him off at Endless Plaza. He returned to this somewhat familiar plaza, but there was no time for him to reminisce.
He quickly opened the job posting to see if there were any jobs available, and he actually found some.
"Job Posting: The owner of the inn in Qingshui Town has gone missing! We need him urgently!"
The prompt was very simple, just this one sentence, with no mention of rewards or compensation, and a sign-up button below.
Besides this, there is also a job posting.
"Hiring: The butcher of Qingshui Town is in dire need of men! Urgent!"
Both of these tasks are in Qingshui Town, so he can only choose one, meaning he absolutely has to go to Qingshui Town.
If they're in such a hurry, this Clearwater Town is probably about to welcome a new batch of players, right? But how did the innkeeper and the butcher suddenly disappear?
The owner of the small shop in Shangyu Village must have been dealt with because he offended the village chief or, more precisely, Song Ying. So, what about Qingshui Town...?
Were these two NPCs also forced to disappear because they offended the town mayor or something?
Lin Leyou thought about it for a moment, then gave up. For him, the most important thing now was... how to choose between these two tasks.
The innkeeper and the butcher...
The inn is probably for players, right? And since I'll be a tourist, I'll definitely be in frequent contact with players.
The Butcher... sounds like a very powerful character. Is he going to be the villainous NPC this time?
Is the hotel owner also a villain?
If you're a butcher, will you receive equipment as a bonus during your work? Like a pig-slaughtering knife?
So... can we take these equipment with us?
After much deliberation, Lin Leyou looked at his own physique. He was a strong, robust young man who had just come of age. He was quite good.
He chose the butcher.
Just like the first time, a route quickly appeared on the map. It was not far from the Endless Square, and there must be a car waiting for you at the end point.
When he reached the end, he indeed saw a car, but it wasn't the uncle who had brought him back before; it was another uncle he didn't recognize.
"You're here? Get in the car."
Lin Leyou nodded, opened the car door and sat in the back seat. After he got in, the driver didn't start the car or say anything, as if he was waiting for someone.
Wait... are you waiting for someone?
By the way, I found two job postings this time, both in Clearwater Town, so besides myself, the butcher, there's also an innkeeper.
I waited for more than twenty minutes, but no one came.
The driver clicked his tongue impatiently and cursed, "Damn it, how dare they keep me waiting this long..."
Lin Leyou glanced out of the car and remained silent. This driver seemed to have a rather irritable temper, unlike the previous uncle. It was better for him to behave himself.
After waiting for another half hour, the driver was getting impatient and tapping the steering wheel with his fingers when a young man slowly walked over.
As soon as he reached the car, the driver started cursing at him, "You piece of trash, you've kept me waiting for so long! If you don't want to go, get the hell out of here!"
The somewhat effeminate-looking young man spoke casually and flippantly, “Oh dear, at your age, you should tone down your temper a little. What if you get heart disease or high blood pressure from getting angry? You’ll lose your job as a driver then.”
Heart disease, high blood pressure? So the inhabitants of this endless world are all ordinary people?
No, it should be that ordinary people and non-humans live together?
Lin Leyou could see that the driver was trembling with anger, but he didn't say anything more. The young man got into the car and greeted him in a good mood, "Hey, hello there."
Lin Leyou nodded. "Hello."
"I'm Jiang Xiali, and you are?"
"Lin Leyou".
The name sounds quite nice.
In Jiangxia Village, "Xiaolin, hello, hello."
He's quite outgoing, calling himself Xiaolin... but it's fine, Xiaolin it is.
The car slowly started moving and drove out of the city. It was unclear how far Qingshui Town was from Endless City…
Jiangxia Li, "Have you been to Qingshui Town before?"
Lin Leyou: "No."
Jiang Xia blinked. "Never been there?"
Lin Leyou: "Is there anything I should be careful about?"
Jiangxia Li: "Of course we can. In Qingshui Town, we can't just go into other people's territory, or something terrible will happen."
Lin Leyou thought for a moment, "Would we be weakened on someone else's territory?"
Jiang Xiali said, "Hahaha... You're so smart! That's right! When we're on someone else's turf, we become weak while they gain an advantage. Of course, the reverse is also true. When someone invades our territory, that's our home ground."
Lin Leyou nodded. The innkeeper and butcher who had gone missing earlier must have been killed after trespassing on someone else's territory.
Jiangxiali said, "Oh, this job pays well and is easy, I really like it."
Lin Leyou: "Really?"
