But the problem arises again. There are so many tasks on the task wall that it makes their eyes dizzy. It’s not that there are too many of them, but that they don’t recognize what is written on it at all.
Besides, they have no idea about the compensation.
For example, one quest stated that hunting a demon snake and obtaining its gallbladder would earn them ten blue magic crystals. They had no idea what kind of demon snake this was, what rank it was, and how much ten blue magic crystals were worth.
It was only after Su Yao shamelessly asked a female demon standing next to her that she learned some of the situation.
It turns out that everything in the demon clan is traded with magic crystals, but the magic crystals are divided into levels by color, with white being the lowest, followed by red, blue, orange, and purple.
The female demon said that ten blue magic crystals could allow the four of them to stay in the city for about five days. Although the demon snake had a low level of cultivation, it was extremely cunning and difficult to catch, so she offered a reward of ten blue magic crystals.
At first, the female devil was very curious about why Su Yao didn't know anything, so she lied and said that it was her first time leaving home, so she asked in more detail.
After hearing her explanation, the female devil instantly understood. Then Su Yao continued to inquire about the location of the demon snake. The female devil immediately smiled and told her that as long as she accepted the task, she could ask the manager for a map at the task station. The key point was that it was free.
After finding out all this, Su Yao immediately told the three of them the news with joy. Then, after considering it comprehensively, they decided to kill a demon snake first to practice. If they could kill it, they would take on higher-level tasks later.
Several people walked up to the task table with the Demon Snake Hunting quest cards. The demon manager said with a smile, "There's no limit to the number of Demon Snake Hunting quests you can take. The more the better. However, you must kill at least one Demon Snake after accepting it, and the time limit must be within three days. Otherwise, the deposit will not be refunded."
Nalan Jingyue nodded slightly: "How many magic crystals are needed for this mission?"
"Haha, ten white magic crystals will be enough." The manager's smile became even brighter. Fortunately, the manager looked no different from an immortal, otherwise Su Yao and the others would not dare to imagine what a demon with fangs would look like when he smiled.
Su Yao and the other two stood by and looked at Nalan Jingyue expectantly, wondering how he would solve the problem.
Just when they were still expecting it, he actually took out ten white magic crystals from his storage bag. In an instant, the three of them opened their mouths into O shapes.
The person in charge took the magic crystal handed over by Nalan Jingyue, and at the same time, he paid attention to the three people standing beside him with strange expressions.
Seeing the person in charge looking at them, Nalan Jingyue coughed lightly in embarrassment.
Fortunately, the person in charge didn't say anything else.
Nalan Jingyue successfully got the task card and the map, and without caring about the three people who were still standing stupidly beside him, he walked straight to the door of the store. The three people reacted instantly and followed him immediately.
Su Yao and the other two followed Nalan Jingyue silently. At first, Nalan Jingyue was waiting for them to ask, but he didn't expect that they would maintain this formation and follow him all the way.
Nalan Jingyue endured it for a while, quickened his pace and walked quickly towards the city gate. Su Yao and the other two quickly followed. After a lot of effort, they got out of the city gate and arrived at a place where there were not many demons.
Nalan Jingyue finally couldn't bear it anymore and turned around. When he turned around, he saw the three people staring at him with an expression that said you're up to something. This made Nalan Jingyue, who originally wanted to take the initiative, feel a little guilty.
Seeing that the three of them still didn't speak, Nalan Jingyue could only cough lightly to cover up his embarrassment: "If you have anything you want to ask, just ask it now."
Unexpectedly, as soon as these words came out, it was like opening the floodgates, and the three of them began to ask questions non-stop.
"How do you have the magic crystal?"
"Why didn't you tell me earlier that you had the magic crystal?"
"What are you hiding?"
"How many magic crystals do you have left?"
"You..." Seeing that they were about to ask more questions, Nalan Jingyue quickly interrupted them.
"Stop! I got this magic crystal when I saw a pickpocket targeting other demons at the bounty point. I took the storage bag from him while he wasn't paying attention." Nalan Jingyue swore that he had never spoken so fast in his life.
Su Yao immediately said excitedly: "Okay, you steal the pickpocket's storage bag!" The other two also echoed.
"Why do you say that? I'm doing justice for the people. His storage bags were stolen from other people." Nalan Jingyue quickly tried to make amends.
Su Yao smiled and said, "Oh, is that so!" Her expression was clearly making fun of him.
Nalan Jingyue suddenly became annoyed and said unhappily, "What else can you do?"
Su Yao was suddenly speechless, while Ning Jing and Xu Fuyi stood by and watched the fun with joy.
"Don't you have another way?" Su Yao said weakly.
"I originally thought of just picking up a random magic treasure and betting it there, but this would easily expose our identities. After all, it's not a good thing for the immortals' magic treasures to appear here casually. Now that the magic crystal has appeared at my doorstep, I definitely can't let it go. Besides, using the magic crystal can save me a lot of trouble." Nalan Jingyue explained to her patiently.
"Ah, now that you mention it, it's true. If it were me, I would also choose to steal the pickpocket's storage bag." Su Yao was a little embarrassed. There was nothing she could do. What Nalan Jingyue said made sense, and she had no way to refute it.
"I've already told you, I wasn't stealing. I was doing justice for the people." Nalan Jingyue glanced at Su Yao indifferently.
Indeed, after Nalan Jingyue's brainwashing, it is not wrong to call this behavior doing justice. After all, the demons had wanted to join forces with monsters from other worlds to kill their immortals. Moreover, the demons were pickpockets and were not good people either. Thinking of this, several people felt much more comfortable in their hearts.
Xu Fuyi quickly stepped forward to smooth things over: "Hahaha, it seems like God is helping us. But, how many magic crystals do you have left?"
"I didn't count, after all, the situation didn't allow it, but I know there were quite a few in there." As he said that, he took out the storage bag and handed it to Xu Fuyi.
Xu Fuyi took the storage bag and poured out all the magic crystals in it. Seeing this, Nalan Jingyue quickly set up a hidden formation around him. He knew that wealth should not be exposed.
All the magic crystals fell to the ground and formed a huge pile. Several people placed them according to color, and then counted them carefully. There were the most white magic crystals, a total of 2,500, while there were 1,800 red magic crystals, 1,000 blue magic crystals, 800 orange magic crystals, and the least purple magic crystals, only 200.
I think it will be enough for them to use for quite some time.
