Chapter 126 A Letter to All the Escorts
Over the next few days, Meng Qingyin's main task was to cut down trees to find supply boxes, while her side task was to practice with a knife.
After a period of persistent practice, she wielded the heavy sword with great skill and flair.
However, she didn't have any special moves; she just relied on brute force.
This heavy knife, weighing over thirty pounds, is now like an ordinary knife in her hands; she can chop, stab, and thrust with ease.
Snow Child practices casting skills every day, and now all three of its skills have been upgraded to level 2.
[Skill 1: Snow Control Technique: Lv. 2, Snow Child's inherent skill, allows control over snow for 90 seconds. Consumes 20 Spirit Points, Cooldown: 60 seconds.]
[Skill 2: Snowfall: Lv2, the Snow Child can condense snow into countless snowballs and launch them instantly. Consumes 50 Spirit Points, Cooldown: 30 seconds.]
[Skill 3: Snow Absorption Technique: Lv2. The Snow Child can absorb snow and temporarily store it in an icy space. It can be retrieved at any time without consuming mental energy. Consumes 100 mental energy. Cooldown: 12 hours.]
Level 2 skills are slightly stronger than level 1 skills, but only slightly.
Furthermore, Snow Child's skills mainly rely on mental energy to be cast, and its mental energy is too low.
Snow Child's spiritual power is inherited from Meng Qingyin's attributes, and Meng Qingyin's spiritual power depends on three attributes.
Only by continuously improving her three attributes will Yukidouji's mental strength value be higher, and thus stronger.
However, Meng Qingyin couldn't find any items that could improve her attributes, so she had to give up.
Early that morning, Meng Qingyin received a letter to all the bodyguards after she had just finished breakfast.
[Dear镖师 (bodyguards/escorts), greetings! We have a very important shipment that needs to be delivered to Shiye in Shijia Village and Li the Blacksmith in Lijia Village. The shipment is large and urgent. We hope that all capable镖师 (bodyguards/escorts) will accept this escort mission. —镖局 (Escort Agency)]
[Urgent Mission: Deliver important goods to Shiye in Shijia Village (1290km away) or Li the Blacksmith in Lijia Village (1400km away) within 24 hours. Mission slots: 9/10.]
After reading the letter from the escort agency, Meng Qingyin felt only strangeness.
She had been to Lijia Village when she was escorting goods last time. Later, she drove all the way here. Given that the road does not allow her to turn back, how could she possibly encounter Lijia Village again?
Unless...they're going in circles?
However, Meng Qingyin could not confirm this guess, because the map does not show the distance already traveled.
As for this task, she can accept it.
To be honest, since obtaining the title of "Senior Escort", she has never escorted a shipment.
Fortunately, we can choose our destination this time: Ishino or Uncle Li.
She had been thinking of visiting Uncle Li a while ago, and now the opportunity has come.
It's a win-win situation.
As for the journey...
Her train has a maximum speed of 100 km/h, so she can definitely deliver the goods within the stipulated time.
Meng Qingyin clicked to accept the task and selected Uncle Li as the recipient.
The next moment, five boxes appeared in her train.
Meng Qingyin followed the signs and drove towards Lijia Village.
The chat area was bustling with activity because of the sudden letter from the security escort agency.
Me, a novel enthusiast: "I suddenly received a letter from the escort agency. Fellow escorts, have you received it?"
I am the Lucky One (Fake): "I received it too, but the roads are slippery due to the snow, and I can't guarantee that I can deliver the goods within the specified time. I dare not accept this task."
The chosen one: "Is this why no one dares to take on the mission, and why the escort agency sent such a letter to all of us escorts?"
Er'er: "But there are still 6 mission slots left. Which four warriors accepted the mission?"
Mengmeng's little fangirl: "Mengmeng the boss must be there!"
Century Egg and Lean Pork Congee: "That's for sure!"
My luck with romance: "Who are the other two people? Am I one of them, or am I just unlucky?"
I'm unlucky: "No, this road is too difficult to travel, I dare not accept the mission."
The elderly man exclaimed, "Hahaha, I know!"
Bean Gate Forever: "Who is it, sir?"
The elderly man said, "Me? I accepted a mission."
I'm speechless: "Grandpa, you're amazing! You put us younger folks to shame!"
The elderly man said, "Hahaha, it's just that I was lucky. I was passing by the entrance of Lijia Village."
He added, "I'm tired of saying 'I envy' all the time."
"..."
Suddenly, a message appeared in the group chat between the three.
Drowning his sorrows in strong liquor: "I accepted this escort mission! I have to thank Boss Mengmeng for the anti-skid tires last time! Hahaha, only four people in the entire 30th district accepted the mission, and I'm one of them, I'm so awesome!"
Chen Leying: "@Mengmeng, you can take this opportunity to sell anti-skid tires, and you can get Xiaojiu to advertise for you."
Drowning his sorrows in strong liquor: "That's right, that's right! I'm the biggest beneficiary of anti-skid tires. If I come out and advertise, the results will definitely be great!"
Mengmeng: "Okay, then I'll trouble you, Xiaojiu."
Drowning his sorrows in strong liquor: "Leave it to me!"
While the chat room was still wondering which big shots had taken on the task, Qin Jiu sent a message.
Drowning his sorrows in strong liquor: "No need to guess, I am one-quarter."
No Brains: "Who are you upstairs? I've never heard of you before. Suddenly you pop up saying you've taken on a mission. Are you trying to show off?"
Tan Xingyan: "The person upstairs is being too sour, isn't he? Maybe he's a low-key big shot."
Drowning his sorrows in strong liquor: "I wouldn't call myself a big shot, but I did have some luck. On the first day of the snow season, I bought some anti-skid tires, so the car's speed wouldn't be affected by the ice and snow at all. That's why I dared to take on this task."
No Brains: "Heh, you're exaggerating more and more. What kind of anti-skid tires have such good anti-skid effect that they can completely ignore the effects of icy and snowy roads? If you had exaggerated the anti-skid effect to a lesser extent, I would have believed you."
Qinjiu didn't say anything, and directly posted a video. The video showed the dashboard and the speed reached 60km/h.
Qin Jiu even deliberately stepped on the brakes, but the car's braking effect was completely unaffected by the icy and snowy road surface, making it feel like driving on flat ground.
This video was so convincing that players immediately started clamoring for her to post the link.
Qin Jiu smiled slightly, "Points to @Mengmeng, I bought the anti-skid tires from her."
With that, her mission was complete.
Meng Qingyin seized the opportunity to send a message in the chat area: "Anyone interested in buying anti-skid tires, DM me. First come, first served!"
Drowning sorrows in strong liquor: "Friendly reminder: There are only 6 escort slots left for this time!"
Meng Qingyin's private chat messages immediately became a hot topic.
Meng Qingyin doesn't have any tires on hand right now, so she can only ask the other party to send her some first, and then she can make anti-skid tires and send them back.
Most players have four tires, and she sets a uniform price of 5 copper coins per tire.
Soon, the first seven players completed their trades, and there were many more players waiting to make trades.
Most players bought anti-skid tires specifically for this escort mission, but now that the mission slots are full, Meng Qingyin thought they wouldn't buy them.
To her surprise, a large number of players were scrambling to buy anti-skid tires.
