"Now, please invite the Zhou family's Patriarch to come up and say a few words."
"Hahaha, Master Huang, Master Wang, thank you for giving way." Zhou Chi was simply a villain who had achieved success, and kept bowing to the other two.
"Hmph, it's just good luck," snorted the head of the Huang family.
"Okay, okay, maybe he is the most suitable candidate. There is no need to offend him for this." The head of the Wang family had to persuade the head of the Huang family to at least save face.
"Hello everyone, I am Zhou Chi, the head of the Zhou family. I am very happy to be elected as the mayor of Luocheng. I will definitely work together with you to make Luocheng better and more prosperous."
"Congratulations, City Lord Zhou, on becoming the City Lord of Luocheng. What happens next is none of our business." Gu Lingfeng saw Zhou Chi, and after he finished speaking, he walked over to him and explained that they were not responsible for what happened next.
"Well, Your Excellency, let's go have a meal and a drink together!" Zhou Chi rubbed his fingers, feeling a little nervous.
When the other two family heads heard what was said, their eyes lit up, indicating that they also had the same idea and it would be great if they could make friends with him.
"No need, you just need to manage Luocheng well."
"Well, okay!"
"Yan'er, let's go"
"Brother, what should I do next? It seems like there is nothing to do."
"Of course not. Have you forgotten the mercenary mission we accepted? Go and hand it in first." Gu Lingfeng reminded Gu Lingyan that they still had mercenary missions to hand in.
"Oh! Yes, I forgot. Let's go to the Mercenary Guild now."
"Master and Miss, we all know where the mercenary guild is. We found it out when we were checking the information of several family heads yesterday. I will take you there." Seeing that they were discussing this matter, He Zirui hurriedly said that they had also checked it yesterday.
"Then lead the way."
“It’s just ahead.”
"Isn't this Your Excellency? How come you have time to come to our mercenary guild? If there is anything you need us to do, just tell us." The manager of the mercenary guild saw Gu Lingyan and the others coming over and hurried over to ask.
“We are here to complete the mission.”
"I see. Everyone, please come this way."
"Take out your things! Everyone should hand over their own things, and there is no question of anyone taking advantage of anyone else," said Gu Lingyan.
Now that everyone has completed their tasks, let the person in charge calculate their points.
As a result, everyone except Gu Lingyan, Gu Lingfeng and Gu Yang reached level two. Gu Lingfeng and Gu Lingyan had already reached level three last time. Although they had not reached level four this time, the difference was not much.
(The Mercenary Guild's scoreboard has 10 levels, starting from level 0. To reach level 1, you need 1,000 points, to reach level 2, you need 2,000 points, to reach level 3, you need 4,000 points, to reach level 4, you need 8,000 points, and to reach level 5, you need 16,000 points. Each level up requires twice the points of the previous level.)
This time no one questioned their strength anymore, and they all completed their tasks successfully and headed back to the inn.
"Let's leave tomorrow! After what happened today, we've probably become famous. If we don't leave now, it will have a huge impact on us."
"Then let's rent a flying beast and head to Central Continent tomorrow. There's no time to waste."
After returning to the inn, several people packed their things, rested, and prepared to leave tomorrow.
Day 2
As soon as Gu Lingyan and the others went out, they saw that a dense crowd of people had surrounded them outside the inn.
As soon as the city residents saw Gu Lingyan and the others coming out, they all surrounded them, holding a lot of things in their hands.
"Your Excellency, thank you for what you have done for us. This is our token of appreciation," said the representative of the citizens, the shopkeeper Lao Mo.
"No, we don't like them either, so we did this. It has nothing to do with you, so don't take it to heart."
"That won't do. If you don't accept it, we will feel guilty." Lao Mo was still practicing Tai Chi.
"Uncle housekeeper, you take care of them, and we'll meet at the South City Gate." Gu Lingyan was getting impatient and planned to let Gu Yang take action directly, and then they would leave and rent a flying beast.
Sure enough, at the critical moment, one still has to rely on powerful cultivation to deter. Gu Yang's effect is still very large. He moved vigorously and stunned everyone present, making them tremble. Gu Lingyan and others took the opportunity to go to the Spirit Beast Pavilion, where spirit beasts were rented.
"Huh, Miss, this is too scary. Fortunately, the butler is powerful and can calm them down."
"Those people think it's profitable. Let's leave quickly and don't get stuck with them." Xuanyuan Zhong felt that those city residents were thinking of using small favors to buy them off because their high cultivation level might bring them many benefits.
Spirit Beast Pavilion
"What kind of spirit beasts do you need, guests? We have all kinds here." The people in the Spirit Beast Pavilion naturally recognized them and did not dare to neglect or perfunctorily treat them. They had to serve them attentively, otherwise the other party would beat them to death if they disagreed with them. Wouldn't they have no place to cry then?
"What's the highest level of flight you have?"
"Sir, the highest-level flying beasts here are the fifth-level flying beasts, the Roc and the Horned Eagle."
"Brother, this flying beast is too low level. Can it last to that place?"
"Well, Miss, it's understandable that we don't have high-level flying beasts in this small place. If you can go to a big city and then exchange for a high-level flying beast, that will be fine."
"Then bring three flying beasts, let's take a look first."
"Okay, please follow me, guests."
"Sir, we have three Rocs and two horned eagles in total, they are all here," the manager pointed at the fifth-level flying beast in the cage.
These spirit beasts that can be rented out are all marked. As long as they complete their mission, they will return. They are all artificially bred or tamed by trainers.
"Yan'er, you choose"
As for the others, they have no ability and do not deserve the right to choose.
"Then it's this one, this one, and that one," Gu Lingyan said, pointing at those majestic-looking flying beasts. Those flying beasts had clear lines and looked very muscular, so they should be very powerful when flying.
"This lady has excellent taste. These flying beasts are our signature products."
"Then let's go to the next city, Yangcheng. How many gold coins are there in total?"
"Miss, because we pilots are all high-level, the fees will be slightly higher."
"you say"
"A total of 21,000 gold coins."
"Gu Song"
"Butler, please count the total amount, 21,000 gold coins."
"That's enough, the number is correct. This is the controller for controlling the flight. Take it and hang it on them when they return." The manager handed over the controller and explained its use.
Several people are ready to go.
"Everyone come up, let's go"
