Chapter 50 Escort Certificate
The 23rd generation successor of the Li family forging tradition: "Xiao Meng, the heavy sword is finished. [Picture] Are you satisfied with its shape and color?"
Meng Qingyin clicked on the picture, which was a heavy sword that looked imposing. The blade gleamed with silver light and exuded a chilling aura. The handle was made of precious wood, and the whole sword was perfectly crafted.
Mengmeng: "I'm very satisfied! I like it very much. Thank you, Uncle Li!"
The 23rd generation successor of the Li family forging: "If you like it, then I'll have someone deliver it to you now. It should arrive in about 6 hours, and at the latest, no more than 8 hours."
Meng Qingyin was surprised. She hadn't told Uncle Li her location yet, so where would Uncle Li send her?
And who did he ask to deliver it to her?
Apart from Uncle Li and Li Tieniu, nobody in Lijia Village knows her.
Mengmeng: "Uncle Li, how are you going to deliver this to me? Who are you going to ask to deliver it to me?"
The 23rd generation successor of the Li family forging business: "I hired a bodyguard and chose the express delivery service. It will arrive in 6 hours. Aren't you also a bodyguard? You should know the internal procedures better than I do, right?"
Meng Qingyin was speechless for a moment.
Although she was a bodyguard, her knowledge was not as comprehensive as Uncle Li's.
They even offer express delivery?
Besides, aren't all bodyguards players? Otherwise, why would they let a player deliver items to another player?
The recipients of the two items she delivered were both NPCs.
Meng Qingyin was full of questions.
The 23rd generation successor of the Li family forging: "By the way, this is my order receipt. The contact information of the bodyguard is on the picture. If it is not delivered within 8 hours, you can contact the bodyguard directly, or you can contact me. I will handle the handover with your escort agency."
Meng Qingyin glanced at the picture; it looked similar to a delivery slip.
[Escort Certificate: Received a heavy sword (weight: 16kg) from Li Decheng today, to be delivered to Meng Qingyin. The customer selected expedited delivery service; arrival is guaranteed within 6 hours, and at the latest, no later than 8 hours. The escort for this shipment is Escort No. 4890, ID: 037195. For delivery details, please add the escort as a friend.]
So, the bodyguard who delivered the goods to her was also a player?
She entered the number, clicked search, and the search results popped up.
Name: Chen Leying
Chat nickname: Chen Leying
Number: 037195
Physique: *** (Player hidden, cannot be viewed)
Strength: *** (Player hiding, cannot view)
Agility: *** (Player hidden, cannot be viewed)
Comfort level: Normal
He's a true gamer!
And it was Chen Leying.
She had once done a transaction with Chen Leying and was very impressed with her.
Unexpectedly, the bodyguard this time was her.
Meng Qingyin closed the search results and sent a message to Li the blacksmith: "I understand, Uncle Li, thank you for your help."
The 23rd generation successor of the Li family forging: "No trouble at all, I'll contact you again when the heavy knife arrives."
Mengmeng: "Okay."
Meng Qingyin walked to the meeting room door, opened it, and smiled at Chen Xiaoling in the corridor, saying, "Excuse me, let's continue our discussion."
Chen Xiaoling walked towards the conference room. "It's okay."
The two sat down again, and Meng Qingyin asked directly about the price: "What is the price of a 50kg bag of all-purpose flour?"
Chen Xiaoling smiled and replied, "50 copper coins per bag."
Meng Qingyin was delighted. It was so cheap, only 50 copper coins?
She currently has 1 gold coin, which translates to a whopping 10,000 copper coins!
From this perspective, the purchasing power of 1 copper coin is roughly the same as that of 1 dollar.
Ten thousand copper coins can buy 200 bags!
However, Meng Qingyin did not plan to buy that many.
After thinking for a moment, she ordered 10 bags of 50kg all-purpose flour and another bag of 50kg low-gluten and high-gluten flour, for a total price of 700 copper coins.
Chen Xiaoling: "Will you be paying in cash or via cloud payment?"
"Cash, please," Meng Qingyin said, taking out the gold coin. "By the way, how does Cloud Payment work?"
Chen Xiaoling took the gold coins. "Have you activated the cloud payment function?"
Meng Qingyin: "I don't think so?"
Her watch did not have any payment options.
Chen Xiaoling: "That's right, you need to go to the highway bank to apply for the cloud payment function. You can only use cloud payment after it's activated."
Meng Qingyin: "Where is the highway bank?"
Chen Xiaoling: "I'm not too sure about that either. Highway Bank doesn't have a fixed office location. Whether you can run into them depends entirely on luck."
Meng Qingyin was completely bewildered. A bank didn't even have a fixed office location?
So how does it usually handle business?
However, her goal today wasn't to find the highway bank immediately, so she didn't ask any more questions.
Chen Xiaoling gave her change; 93 silver coins, packed in a cloth bag, were quite heavy.
"Please come with me to the warehouse to get the goods." Chen Xiaoling stood up and gestured for him to proceed.
Meng Qingyin also stood up and, led by her, arrived at the warehouse.
The warehouse was filled with flour, and the air smelled of raw flour.
The warehouse manager unloaded the goods she wanted, and Meng Qingyin immediately put them into her system inventory.
Chen Xiaoling escorted her all the way to the factory gate, where the security guard waved with a smile: "Come again next time!"
Meng Qingyin bid farewell to the two and returned to the RV.
I glanced at the time; it was already past ten o'clock.
Only then did she open the escort mission.
[Intermediate Escort Mission Completed. Rewards: 1 Strengthening Pill, 1 Agility Pill, 1 Battery, 1 Gasoline (5L), 1 Driver's License Test Opportunity, 1 Flour (20kg), 1 Purified Water (20L). Claim now?]

You have two hours to decide. If you haven't made a choice by the end of the decision period, it will be assumed that you have declined the mission.]
The waiting period for advanced tasks has been extended to two hours.
However, Meng Qingyin didn't care. No matter how long the hesitation period was, she was determined to accept the high-level escort mission.
But not now.
She still planned to finish lunch before taking on the task.
Although she now had flour, time was limited, so Meng Qingyin didn't plan to start a fire. Instead, she sat in the driver's seat, grabbed a bag of roast chicken and a bottle of mineral water, and prepared to eat in the car.
Suddenly, she remembered the Robber Alliance that was looking for her, so she simply had Little Elf start the car and drive along the road, since it wouldn't consume any power during the event.
She also moved the peas inside the RV to make sure that no pea leaves were visible from the outside. Zheng Shi must have seen the peas in her vehicle at that time. Leaving the peas outside so openly was too conspicuous.
After finishing these tasks, Meng Qingyin began to eat.
However, some people fell into deep thought after reading the details of the advanced escort mission.
