When Wang Gang and his companion returned to the entrance of the designated hotel, there were already many vehicles parked there, indicating that the group that had come at the same time had also entered the city.
Sure enough, as soon as I entered the lobby, I found several familiar faces arguing heatedly with someone over booking a few rooms.
Fortunately, Du Mingna and the others had arrived in the city early and booked rooms, so instead of arguing in the lobby, they could comfortably lie on the bed and chat.
They're not the cheapest kind of dormitory rooms; they're all standard twin rooms.
They booked three rooms for a total of three days, and now everyone is crammed into one of the rooms to discuss other matters.
Wang Gang presented the 1,200 crowns he had just received to Du Mingna as if it were a treasure.
Although Wang Gang was older and had a cunning mind, he did not split the two hundred crowns with Liu Nian, which made Liu Nian think more highly of him.
Sure enough, Du Mingna counted the money several times, then looked at Wang Gang with disbelief: "You found money?"
"Guess," Wang Gang said, glancing at Liu Nian with a mysterious expression.
"Fine, don't tell me then, I'm not giving you a refund anyway." Du Mingna rolled her eyes at him, counted the money again, and carefully put the crowns into her purse.
The clinking sound of crowns inside the purse delighted Dumina.
This mission was tough for everyone. Now that the krona delivered by the merchant and the krona earned from the mission have all arrived in her account, she is not stingy and has started distributing the wages.
Liu Nian and Ye Muli are newcomers and will only receive their wages for this one escort mission; the rest of the team will receive wages for escorting goods.
The elderly received about three or four hundred crowns, while Ye Muli and his companion each held a little over one hundred crowns in their hands.
No one was killed, so there were no compensation payments.
The rest became the mercenary group's public funds, including cards dropped by special infected individuals, all of which were handed over to the group leader, Du Mingna, for safekeeping.
After she sold these things at the market, she kept a portion as public funds and distributed the rest to the group members according to their contributions.
Of course, this is just the allocation method of the Everlasting Regret Mercenary Group; other mercenary groups have different allocation methods.
Seeing how precious those three or four hundred crowns were to them, Liu Nian asked tentatively, "How many crowns did these rooms cost in total?"
“One hundred crowns. They originally wanted one hundred and twenty crowns, but we stopped them.” Tang Tongbi looked at Liu Nian’s curious expression and answered proudly.
"Damn, what a swindler!" Liu Nian roared inwardly.
He wasn't cursing the hotel owner, but it reminded him of when he first arrived in B City and spent 300 crowns for a single night's stay.
Looking back now, it's no wonder that people around me looked at me strangely; they thought I was an idiot.
Liu Nian wasn't interested in the girls going to the market to sell things; he planned to go to the mushroom camp to submit his mission before nightfall.
Du Mingna had no objection to Liu Nian wanting to go shopping, but the other male comrades were not so lucky; they were conscripted by the group leader to move goods and set up stalls.
Ignoring their resentful expressions, Liu Nian decisively made her escape.
After he drove away, Ah Chong followed him from the corner of the hotel.
Seemingly not expecting Liu Nian to leave the city, he took out a walkie-talkie from his pocket.
With the help of the map, Liu Nian arrived at the mushroom camp smoothly an hour later.
This time, without any unexpected complications, Liu Nian chose to wear the medal.
The guards saw Liu Nian's sergeant badge, saluted him, and then let him in.
After finding the commander's tent, I went inside and discovered that I knew this commander. He was the one who closed another portal during the last battle against the Greenskins.
Respectfully handing over the letter of appointment, Liu Nian heard a notification in his mind that the mission was complete.
Liu Nian didn't care about the merits, experience, and crown rewards, since he was still far from having enough experience to level up.
Before leaving, the head coach gave Liu Nian a meaningful warning to be careful of the purple disaster.
The commander-in-chief didn't explicitly state what the purple disaster was, only telling Liu Nian that it was the result of a divination by a sorcerer.
A purple disaster?
Liu Nian was completely baffled and walked out of the room with a bewildered look on his face. He hated these charlatans who talked nonsense; what they said was as good as nothing.
Since he had come to the mushroom camp, it would be unreasonable not to get some supplies, so he walked all the way to the mushroom supply area.
Although the supply officer had changed, he still generously handed Liu Nian a large supply pack upon her arrival.
Liu Nian happily accepted it, and didn't forget to give a token of appreciation.
Judging from their current reputation, the relationship with the Zhen Dan Empire is one of respect, so it's understandable that he would provide such generous supplies even though he doesn't know the Supplies Officer.
As for reputation with the Fungus Camp, it's earned by farming Greenskins and completing Fungus Camp quests.
I don't know how many players in D City have joined Zhen Dan, but that's none of Liu Nian's business. If there are no missions, he will return with the mercenary group in three days.
These three days are for rest, for selling some items, and for taking on as many escorts as possible from merchants.
After all, the more merchants you escort, the more word-of-mouth spreads, and the more new orders you can get. Relying solely on Adventurer's Hall missions will only leave you with nothing.
As I said before, not everyone is at Liu Nian's level. You should know that Liu Nian took all the rewards by himself, while here the mercenary group distributes the rewards themselves.
Of course, if you're clever enough, you can keep it all for yourself, but the real problem is that you might have the life to take it but not the life to enjoy it.
I drove back to the city, feeling completely carefree.
Just as he was enjoying the quiet atmosphere, the raven's warning rang out.
The fact that someone was following Liu Nian surprised her.
I've only just arrived in D City, I shouldn't have made any enemies yet, right? Who would be following me for no reason?
Moreover, he has changed his appearance, so even if it was someone he offended before, he shouldn't recognize him.
There's no point in overthinking it; just grab the guy and ask him!
Liu Nian decisively stopped the car, walked into the woods, and pretended to need to relieve herself.
The motorcyclist behind him saw Liu Nian get off the motorcycle and assumed he needed to relieve himself, so he waited patiently.
As expected, Liu Nian, with the zipper still on, quickly got back into the car and drove off again.
Ah Chong felt relieved, but was afraid of being exposed.
As darkness fell, he failed to notice a swarm of bats flying toward him.
With the plan complete, Liu Nian jerked the steering wheel, the tires leaving a deep mark on the ground, and then turned the car around and sped off towards Ah Chong.
Seeing Liu Nian turn around abruptly, Ah Chong knew he had been exposed, so he gritted his teeth and drove straight ahead.
The two cars stopped in their tracks and drew closer together, it seemed that Ah Chong intended to die together with Liu Nian.
However, just before the collision, Ah Chong decisively unbuckled his seatbelt, opened the driver's door, and plunged headfirst into the roadside bushes.
The vampires had now surrounded Ah Chong, trapping him there.
Liu Nian dodged the car that was about to collide with him, calmly parked his car and looked over there. Ah Chong had already been subdued by the vampires.
A new face?
Looking at this unfamiliar face, Liu Nian remained silent, and the scene fell silent for a moment.
