Chapter 61 Reverence for Life
When she walked out of the travel permit office, Nan Chi said to herself that from today on, she was no longer "Nan Chi", but the grandson of that old lady.
"From today on, I may have to live as a man for a long time..." Nan Chi's expression was a little sad, but his eyes were bright.
As he walked, he muttered, "This is a novel experience."
She then went to the Mercenary Guild to redeem the mission.
The young man in charge of distributing the bonuses looked at Nan Chi again and again, praising him, "I didn't expect that you, who look so young, could actually take care of this guy."
Nan Chi smiled shyly, "Isn't it? I didn't expect this guy to be so amazing for just a C-rank mission."
After saying this, she looked at the young man with a smile, and was satisfied to see that the expression on his face froze after hearing her words.
In fact, she was watching the entire process of the Spark Team fighting monsters not long ago.
The strength of those guys is not that good, but this mission is just an F-level monster. The information shows that this guy is just a level 4 mutant.
The Spark Team had people who had reached level four in both equipment and mental strength, but they were unable to take down this guy, and their lives were even in danger.
She already suspected that there was something wrong with the missions issued by the Mercenary Guild.
Looking at this guy's reaction now, it seems that my guess was correct.
"Well! It's also possible that the guy has upgraded. After all, that was only a task released three months ago." The young man smiled awkwardly and said vaguely.
Nan Chi didn't care much and scratched his head innocently, looking like a country boy who had never seen the world.
"Excuse me, big brother, does your mercenary guild have any large-scale missions recently? I'm just thinking that accepting missions one by one is really too troublesome..."
Nan Chi changed the subject and asked with a smile.
"Yes." The young man observed Nan Chi for a while, and only after seeing that she was not holding on to the C-level task did his facial nerves relax.
"What kind of mission is that? How much is the reward?" Nan Chi's eyes lit up and he looked at the other party eagerly.
“As everyone knows, the Tianlong Galaxy is a remote galaxy on the Federation’s border, and there are many alien species wandering around in this place.
Every year the military sends a large number of people here to clean up these alien species.
June of this year, that is, this month, is the month of large-scale outbreak of alien species. At this time, the Mercenary Guild will issue a batch of tasks, or the military academy and the military will go to the Tianlong Galaxy.
This quest is very convenient. Once you bind a quest recorder from the mercenary guild, you can earn credit points for every alien you kill in that area!
Seeing that Nan Chi was capable and not bothered about the C-level mission, the young man was very nice to her and explained the mission details in detail.
Sure enough, Nan Chi's eyes lit up after hearing this. "Is it really that convenient? No need to come here to hand in the quest?"
"Of course! You have to know how many bounty hunters are coming in and out of the Tianlong Galaxy right now. If they all came here to hand in their missions, even the robots would be paralyzed! So our government directly issued a mission recorder, connected to the Skynet computing..."
The young man continued to talk incessantly, telling everyone he knew.
Nan Chi gasped. Her focus was a bit strange. "Why are there so many monsters here?"
"It has existed since ancient times." Now, the young man had no answer to Nan Chi's question.
Seeing that he couldn't find any useful information from him, Nan Chi thanked him and walked out of the mercenary guild leisurely.
It was a hot summer on this planet at this time. Although it was already six o'clock in the evening, the sun showed no sign of setting.
With 10,000 credit points in hand, I bought some daily necessities in town.
Nan Chi went to the town's grocery street again, bought some things he thought he could use, and also got some items he would need for tomorrow's mission. He left the grocery street only when his credit points were almost gone, feeling unsatisfied.
When she returned to the village entrance, she saw a hunched figure standing under the big tree at the entrance. When Nan Chi saw who that figure was, her heart warmed, and she walked quickly to the old man.
"Grandma, it's almost dark, why are you still standing here?"
"I have nothing to do at home all day. I'm waiting for you to go home together." After seeing Nan Chi, the old man smiled and squeezed the wrinkles on his face into a chrysanthemum.
"Then let's go home." Nan Chi shook his head helplessly.
According to the village chief, the old woman was also a psychic when she was young, but as she got older and suffered setbacks over the years, her psychic power and sea of consciousness became disordered and she could no longer distinguish between reality and fantasy.
In fact, the old man’s current condition is also a relief for her.
The reason why the old lady appeared at the village entrance waiting for Nan Chi was probably because of her subconscious anxiety and fear of losing...
Returning to the small bungalow, Nan Chi took out the daily necessities he had bought today from the space buckle and placed them one by one in the house.
Finally, she handed the space buckle to the old woman. This space buckle only had two cubic meters of space and cost her a thousand credit points. "Grandma, keep this space buckle. When you go out, you can put your things in it and bring them back..."
The smile on the old man's face faded, and she asked doubtfully, "This is a very expensive item. Where did you get the credit points?"
She clearly remembered that Nan Chi had nothing valuable on him, so how could he buy such expensive things in just one day?
Nan Chi said vaguely: "I went out to work today and proved my identity by the way."
As she spoke, she waved her hand, revealing the laptop on it.
The old lady grabbed Nan Chi's hand and said, "Little one! Don't go to the mercenary guild to accept the mission..."
Nan Chi was stunned for a moment, then thought of the reason why the old lady didn't want to go on the mercenary guild mission. She said softly, "No, I took a mining mission in town today, and I bought this space buckle on the second-hand market. It's very cheap..."
After hearing this, the old lady's cloudy eyes flashed with confusion, and then she breathed a sigh of relief.
Although she had a long life experience, she was mentally confused and could not think like a normal person. Nan Chi easily fooled her.
"It's okay if you don't go, it's okay if you don't go, my dear. I don't want our family to be rich and powerful, I just hope you can live and die of old age..."
"Grandma, I know." Nan Chi shook the old lady's dry hand and promised seriously.
Having experienced the fear of death not long ago, Nan Chi cherishes his life even more.
He also had more respect and awe for life. After surviving a near-death experience, Nan Chi finally understood the meaning of what the old Taoist priest often said, "Cherish life, and fear life."
How could I be so stupid as to put myself in crisis again?
Besides, it takes courage to sacrifice one's life. Nan Chi thought that if time could go back and she could choose again, she might not have the courage to die.
It will be on the shelves tomorrow. I will not be stuck in the plot anymore and will send the last free chapter. Thank you again for your support throughout the new book period.
