Chapter 340: Sudden Side Mission
Mosquito is a senior worker in the illegal compulsory coordination and transfer of human resources. The Chamber of Commerce behind him has secretly established a very deep cooperative relationship with the Beast God Arena, which consumes the most human resources in the imperial capital.
Today, a new batch of goods arrived at the Chamber of Commerce. As usual, he planned to enter the Beast God Arena through the small door and negotiate new cooperation matters with the Beast God Arena on behalf of the Chamber of Commerce.
It was a little surprising that the Beast God Arena, which was bustling with people in the past, was unusually quiet today, but he didn't think much about it.
According to the code that had been agreed upon, he planned to knock on the door with two short knocks and one long knock.
Unexpectedly, the door broke and the wall collapsed...
This almost made him think that he had accidentally awakened some incredible ability recently and became extremely powerful. Otherwise, how could he have demolished the wall of the Beast God Arena with just a secret signal?
The scene behind the wall seemed strange to him.
Normally, this door, or the area behind this wall, should be the place where the "staff" of the arena lead people.
It was dark and without sunlight.
The stench of monsters accompanied by the roar of beasts made this place look particularly terrifying.
When he first started doing this job, he was a little resistant to being in charge of the Beast God Arena. But later, as the number of collaborations increased, because the Beast God Arena was in great demand and he was able to get a large agency fee every time, he got used to it over time and no longer resisted, and even looked forward to it.
Behind this door should have been a long and dark corridor, but today, it seemed a little different.
The weather is nice today. It's sunny outside and inside as well.
He had never seen such a Beast God Arena. It looked a bit ordinary?
Mosquito Doesn't Bite's first reaction was to see if his strength had suddenly increased, and his second reaction was that something had happened in the Beast God Arena.
The entire arena was like a wall that was suddenly left. Outside the wall was the imperial capital, and inside the wall was the arena. There were no dark corridors, and the familiar "staff" were nowhere to be seen.
He began to get scared.
Regardless of whether there was really a problem with the Beast God Arena, this matter would inevitably involve the gods, and he, an ordinary person, accidentally entered this place and saw such a scene...
But I'm already here, and the people inside have seen me. If I just turn around and run away... there's a high chance I won't be able to escape.
So, he forced out a smile that was uglier than crying, and said weakly, "Well, may I ask..."
Ji Ruo raised his eyebrows.
He didn't expect someone to come suddenly at this time, and not through the front door.
Right now, the Beast God and the Skyhorn God of War had just been sent to the Dream Kingdom by Ji Ruo through a magic door to receive re-education from Ji Xiaoxiao and all the gods - after all, he also had important things to do now, and of course it was impossible for him to do such a time-consuming and laborious task of re-education himself.
He was racing against Charles and couldn't afford to waste his time in a place like this.
In this situation, to be honest, Ji Ruo smelled the scent of "side quest".
"Oh, you're finally here."
Without thinking, Ji Ruo walked over with a smile on his face and enthusiastically held Wen Bu Ding's hand.
No matter what, Ji Ruo is also a [diplomatic spokesperson], so it is always right to say hello first.
"Um, who are you?" Mosquito said cautiously: "Excuse me, I don't think I have seen you before, and how come the Beast God Arena is..."
"I'm a new employee at the arena." Ji said seriously, "How is it, did you bring your stuff?"
He was testing the waters. Although he didn't know what this guy was doing here, he thought it was probably correct to ask.
After all, that's how it's played out on TV.
"Newcomer?" Mosquito was a little surprised. He inexplicably felt that Ji Ruo's words were nice, so he believed Ji Ruo's words directly. After all, this was the territory of the Beast God, and it happened under such a weird situation. No matter who the other party was, he certainly couldn't afford to offend him.
I simply believed it and said honestly:
"I didn't bring anything with me. You know, those 'goods' are not suitable to be brought directly..."
There is indeed "goods", but they were not brought here, which shows that this gang has other accomplices.
Although Ji Ruo didn't know what they were selling specifically, he guessed from the looks of it that it wasn't any legal goods.
"Oh, look at my brain. I've been so busy these past two days that I almost forgot something so important." Ji Ruo slapped his head and said.
"Excuse me for asking, this Beast God Arena..." Mosquito pointed at the broken wall and asked cautiously again.
"It's like this," Ji Ruo thought fiercely, "Our Beast God Arena is being renovated these past two days. We have been designing a new renovation plan and purchasing various materials over the past few days.
This morning, the new renovation plan was officially approved by Lord Beast God. We just started construction and were about to send someone to notify you when you came."
It seems that this statement is half true and half false.
The main reason for the collapse of the arena wall was actually that Sheila used the power of death, causing all the magic runes here to end their "lifetimes" in the blink of an eye, being worn out and losing their effectiveness.
As a building bearing these runes, it was naturally affected. The back door was relatively fragile due to frequent use, so a mosquito could knock a big hole in the door with just a light knock.
That is to say, no one came to the gate, otherwise the collapse there would be more serious.
As for those dark corridors, 'staff' living quarters and the like.
It was originally constructed by space magic. When the runes were destroyed, the space would naturally collapse as well.
The Beast God Arena, apart from the blessing of various magics, is really just an empty shell.
Mosquito does not bite doubtfully: "Decoration?"
"It's to maintain and renovate the various magic circles in the arena, and also to change the style of the arena."
"Why do we need to change it? Isn't it good as it is now?" Once you accept a setting, you will be easily led astray by the dual influence of Ji Ruo's [diplomatic spokesperson] + [feeling of substitution]. M. cascoo
Ji Ruobai explained the situation realistically: "Look, the arena used to be full of the skeletons of the defeated. The walls inside and outside were bare. There was nothing at the gate except a sign that read 'Beast God Arena'. Can this reflect the wisdom and might of our Lord Beast God?
The walls are bare and if you don't look at the house number, who would know where this is?
Is this right? It’s not right, so it has to be changed.”
As Ji Ruo spoke, he put his arm around Mosquito Digging's shoulders, pointed around, and described to him the appearance of the new Beast God Arena in the 'design drawing'.
"Here, we plan to add a relief of the head of the Beast God, and also here, we plan to make a hot spring. We will tell the outside world that this is a hot spring blessed by the Beast God. People who bathe in the hot water will have their physical condition improved to a certain extent. Even if they are lucky, they can gain the power of some kind of wild beast and become extremely powerful! The golden slap cannot be defeated...
And here, we plan to…”
Ji Ruo described seven or eight new "attractions and facilities" in a row, leaving Mosquito Dinning stunned.
Afterwards, Ji Ruo waved his hand and said proudly: "When the time comes, we will set a high price for these facilities. For example, the Beast God Hot Spring will cost one gold coin for each bath, and each bath lasts for fifteen minutes. The more times you bathe, the greater the possibility of receiving blessings..."
"Does this hot spring really have that kind of effect?" Mosquito was somewhat tempted.
There is a chance to be blessed by God! Who wouldn’t want this?
"Of course not." Ji Ruo shook his head slightly: "How could the Lord Beast God waste his precious time and power in such a place? It's just ordinary hot water, at most it's shared by a group of people, and it's easy to get sick."
Mosquito is shocked: "Aren't you guys lying?"
"How can you talk like that?" Ji Ruo said in dissatisfaction, "How can you make irresponsible comments on the affairs of the gods? Besides, I only lied to you."
"What do you mean?"
Ji Ruo spread his hands and said, "The 'attraction' has not been built yet. Apart from us staff and the Beast God, you are the only outsider who knows about it. I am just lying to you, right?"
"I see." Mosquito asked, "When will you be able to finish the renovation?"
"Well, it depends. After all, the workload is quite large... Oh, why don't we go check out the goods first? Otherwise, they won't be fresh if they are left out for too long."
"That makes sense. It's a waste of money to keep those guys. If the Beast God Arena doesn't want them, we will consider getting rid of them. After all, you know that it would be difficult for us to sell goods of that quality if the Beast God Arena doesn't want them."
"Yes." Ji Ruo nodded: "Brother, what should I call you? You know, I just came to work here. I only know that I have a cooperation with you, but I don't even know your name."
Mosquito Doesn't Bite without giving it much thought and said, "Just call me Mosquito Doesn't Bite."
"This name..." Ji Ruo's mouth twitched.
Mosquito Doesn't Bite waved his hands and said, "In our line of work, we can't just casually reveal our real names."
“I understand!”
What the hell are you doing?
"There's no time to lose, let's go and look at the goods."
"Okay, follow me."
Mosquito doesn't bite said this and led the way ahead.
Everyone followed, at the same time, Sheila, Emily and Tim initiated a 'telepathic call request' to Ji Ruo, even Liang Shixian was curious and sent a secret message.
Everyone was asking the same question: "Ji Ruo, do you know this guy?"
"I don't know him." Ji Ruo replied as a matter of course using his spiritual consciousness.
Everyone was stunned.
"So what happened to you just now?"
"Well, let's just chat. This guy is a nobody. He seems to be doing something illegal. Let's follow him and see what's going on."
At this moment, Yaxiu suddenly quietly pulled Jiruo's clothes and whispered, "Prince Lu, be careful."
"Oh? Do you know this guy?" Ji Ruo was curious, so he built a spiritual channel and used his own Xingxuan Cave as the base station to build a simple chat communication platform, pulling everyone in, including Ash and his sister.
Sheila, Emily and Tim were all surprised, while Liang Shixian was speechless when he heard the words "Prince Kiln invites you to join the group chat" suddenly ringing in his mind.
Emily: "Ji Ruo Ji Ruo, what kind of magic is this? I can actually chat with so many people at once, even two children. It's amazing!"
Sheila: "Huh, you're surprised by what you've seen."
In fact, Sheila was also a little surprised.
Because although the consciousness of gods can do similar things, it can only communicate with gods or with mortals at the same time.
It is impossible to communicate with other gods and humans at the same time.
Even establishing contact with mortals who are not believers requires the consumption of divine power, because that is another price.
"It's just a few simple tricks." Ji Ruo said casually, and then added: "Yash seems to know that guy. Let's shut up and let Ash speak."
Emily asked curiously, "What is muteness?"
“It’s just another way of saying shut up.”
Emily: “…”
Ash didn't find it strange that he could suddenly communicate with others in his mind.
He was ignorant and a mere mortal, so he was not at all surprised that a god could do such a thing.
"That guy is a slave trader." Ash said, "I once saw some people come to Lucky Street at night, give some people food, promise to give them jobs and money, and then take them away.
At that time I didn't know why they gave those people food, and I also wanted to bring some back for Nancy, so I followed them.
It was later discovered that those who were tempted by food and money were eventually taken to the slave market in the outer city, where I met this man once.
"Slave market?"
Ji Ruo raised his eyebrows.
Although he had known for a long time that the Earth Mother Continent was a slave society, up to now, Ji Ruo had never actually seen the legendary slaves with his own eyes.
The people he came into contact with were either gods or irregular adventurers. Before coming to the imperial capital, he had been to the place where slaves were most likely to exist, which was the town of Rouen.
However, there were only poor people and rich people in Rouen, as well as a baron named Jonathan, and no so-called slaves.
Even the knights and servants in Jonathan's manor did not seem to be slaves.
This made Ji Ruo think for a moment that the slavery here was just a cover.
Oh, by the way, it seems that Emily was almost captured and sold as a slave. However, Ji Ruo thought that if Emily was really sold, Lauren and the others would have to pay the buyer money afterwards...
"Hey!" Emily said angrily on the telepathic communication platform: "I can hear you!"
"Oh, sorry, I forgot to turn off the phone." The communication channel had just been set up, and before Ji Ruo had time to perfect it, he accidentally said what was in his mind.
Next time, be sure to say bad things quietly.
“I can hear this too!”
Ji Ruo ignored him, changed his mind, and asked Jonathan directly.
After all, judging from Jonathan's previous performance, this guy is also very smart.
Jonathan explained: "Lord Slave God, our Ruang Town does not have the necessary soil for the development of the Slave Trade Association.
I am just a hereditary baron from a remote area. My territory is poor and there are few monsters around the town. Most of them are just ordinary beasts. I even worship a wild boar as a god...
There are no dungeons, no special mines, and even crops are difficult to grow on that land... If you buy a slave, you have to be responsible for the slave's food and drink, but the employment relationship does not need to be, so everyone is just an employment relationship. "
