When Liu Nian parked the car, he ran into the rest of the people returning from the market.
Seeing the excited expressions on everyone's faces, Liu Nian guessed that the goods might have sold for a good price.
As expected, Ye Muli spotted Liu Nian and jogged over to tell her how capable the group leader was, noting that he had sold all the goods in just two hours and at a good price.
"Not at all, it's just that the products I'm selling happen to be very popular." Du Mingna couldn't hide her joy at being praised and having all her goods sold out.
The journey was smooth sailing, and with no worries about cargo backlog or monster night attacks, everyone was in high spirits, discussing where to go tomorrow as they walked toward the hall.
Du Mingna said that although they could relax, she still needed to seize the opportunity to purchase some goods and transport them back to City C, hoping to make another profit.
Only with sufficient funds can we recruit more staff.
There are still not enough people. She doesn't dare to take on any higher-level mercenary missions, as it would be a loss if it resulted in casualties.
However, she'll leave these troubles for tomorrow; tonight she's going to host a grand banquet for her officials.
Having crowns in hand gives them confidence, and the hotel naturally provides drinks. They found a table in the lobby and sat down.
Believe it or not, there were quite a few people drinking and chatting in the lobby at night. It's clear that without the threat of the Night Demon, everyone was enjoying this kind of nightlife.
It was supposed to be a grand banquet, but it was really just a glass of ice-cold beer for everyone. However, the atmosphere was perfect, so material needs didn't matter.
"Cheers!" The leader stood up, raised his glass high, and spoke with great enthusiasm.
"Cheers!" Everyone stood up and raised their glasses in unison. The others in the hall were also caught up in the atmosphere and raised their glasses in response.
...
Meanwhile, inside the city lord's mansion.
The dog is reporting to the city lord and others.
"What? The person who was tailing that person has disappeared?" After hearing Gouzi's report, Young City Lord Liang Kuan was the first to lose his temper and angrily questioned.
“It’s already night. Ah Xiong, who’s keeping an eye on the inn, reports that Liu Nian has returned, but the people watching him haven’t come back, and the brothers at the city gate haven’t noticed him either. Either he’s hiding in an abandoned house outside the city, or…” Faced with the young city lord’s questioning, Gouzi still carefully chose his words and reported his guesses one by one.
“What you said makes some sense. Is there really no other information about Liu Nian’s identity?” The old city lord, Liang Kun, appeared much calmer and asked.
"Yes, I failed in my duty." Gouzi lowered his head, somewhat ashamed.
Without internet access, it is very difficult to check someone's information. In addition, it takes too much manpower and resources to go back and forth, so the results are minimal.
Seemingly thinking of something, Gouzi hesitated slightly before speaking: "Also, there is something else that I think is worth noting."
"The news that came out today is that the person who asked the Adventurers' Hall customer service to increase their pay is also this Liu Nian."
"So many coincidences have happened to him, I feel there's something strange about him."
"Why don't we just arrest them and ask them? Who are we afraid of?" Liang Kuan said nonchalantly, his youthful arrogance evident.
He had reason to be proud. In his mind, even if the best person in the world appeared, so what? This wasn't some hack-and-slash game. One person's strength could never match that of a group.
If he's not as the dog guessed, that's fine. But if he is, with all his elite troops deployed, if he wants to launch an attack, probably no one can stop him. The old city lord has clearly considered things more thoroughly.
"Wait a minute. Tianlin should have received the message by now. When he returns, remember not to act rashly," Liang Kun advised earnestly. This temperament still needs some tempering.
"Even Tianlin couldn't manage to travel at night, is it really possible for that person to do so?"
The old city lord didn't say this aloud. You have to know that monsters also increase their level with the days, and their attributes increase by about 50% at night. Is it really possible for a single person to fight against that?
...
As the new day began, Dumina went to the Merchants' Association early to wait for hiring jobs and then to purchase some goods, keeping her extremely busy.
Although the rest of the group were free to do as they pleased, time was of the essence. If the level difference was too great, the journey home might not be peaceful. Therefore, they unanimously decided to take on a team hunting mission, a special mission reserved for mercenary group members.
He kicked Ye Muli, who was fast asleep, awake. The others were planning to go out hunting on a mission, so why were you still lying in bed?
This amount of stock is not enough to feed the whole team; everyone has to contribute.
Ignoring Ye Muli's mournful face, Liu Nian gave him three minutes with a serious expression, or else he would face the consequences.
After receiving the mission, the two vehicles drove out of the city, heading in the direction Liu Nian was heading to the mushroom camp.
This unintentional act perfectly misled the dog, causing him to waver slightly. Perhaps he really had followed the wrong direction, and this person was indeed slightly more capable.
Judging from the strength he revealed, he was only slightly stronger than the members of his own gang.
Ah Chong's car has been found, but not at the crime scene. A group of mercenaries passing by saw a car with the key in the ignition parked on the side of the road and thought that Lady Luck was on their side, so they drove into the city without hesitation.
It wasn't until the Axe Gang came knocking on his door that he realized the huge trouble he had caused.
After being beaten up, the group confessed that there was a pool of blood nearby, but they did not see any body.
When Ah Chong arrived at the crime scene, all the traces had been overlapped by passing vehicles, and no useful clues were found.
Liu Nian was unaware of what happened next. They were walking along a jungle path, intending to hunt wild boar.
There were quite a few small teams coming from the surrounding area; they were all mercenaries who had come on hunting missions.
Anyway, don't worry about not finding the mission objective. Once you accept the mission, the corresponding monsters will spawn near the corresponding map. They completely ignore the reproduction rules of living beings.
However, one thing to note is that others may also mistake your mission objective for a hunting target and take it down casually, which could lead to your mission failure.
Agricultural college students in peacetime suffered greatly from this and should have a deep impression of it.
The jungle was vast, and the groups of people were quickly dispersed. The one who had been separated for so long looked at the map and chose a direction to move forward.
A moment later, the distinctive roar of a wild boar echoed from the bushes ahead. Hearing this, everyone was overjoyed, eager to finish the task and go home as soon as possible.
Upon parting the bushes, they found not only five wild boars, but also, to make matters worse, a uniquely shaped one, which appeared to be an elite among them.
Unlike the grayish-brown skin of other wild boars, the lead wild boar was much larger and had skin that was closer to brown. It also had a row of upright hairs on its back, resembling the previously popular mohawk hairstyle. The funniest thing was that it had a flower stuck in its forehead.
[Princess] (Level 29 Rare Elite)
Attack power: 50-80
Defense: 20-30
Health Points: 7500
Skills: Boar Charge, Thick Hide, Bite, Enrage.
Liu Nian secretly began gathering information and found that it was indeed an elite unit. The four guards around it were also strong, all of them were level 27 ordinary wild boars, but their attributes were much weaker, with only three thousand health points.
The scene before them left the group looking at each other in bewilderment, staring blankly at the several skeleton-level wild boars.
They didn't know how this happened and thought they had mistakenly found other players' mission objectives.
What to do? Fight or not fight?
For a moment, everyone was at a loss!
