"A terrible monster seems to have appeared near my store, so I need to recruit ten great heroes to destroy it. The mucus secreted by this monster will have a very bad impact on the surrounding environment, so heroes are also needed to eliminate this bad negative effect."
"Contract type: employment."
"Please note: Although Tu Guan (V) is a senior believer of the God of Contract, he is not an honest person. He is good at taking advantage of loopholes in the sacrifice rules to cheat. Please be careful when responding to the call."
Then, Du Yuqi saw a strange jar suddenly appear on his beast claw altar. Although the jar was khaki in color and looked unremarkable on the outside, there were mysterious runes on the jar, and light flashed from time to time.
"This sacrifice is quite strange." Du Yuqi looked at it and pondered.
However, what attracted Du Yuqi was not the sacrifice, but the four words "Hettonmar".
After Du Yuqi sensed the prompt from the Beast Claw Altar, he hesitated for a while and decided to respond to the sacrifice.
Because even if Tuguan (V) is good at taking advantage of loopholes in the rules, there is absolutely no way that he is in the wrong place. According to the information in his memory, Huttonmar is a prosperous town, and Tuguan is a businessman. Since the monster appeared near his shop, it is not difficult to infer two things:
First of all, this monster will definitely not be too powerful, just like it is unlikely that ferocious beasts such as tigers, lions, and brown bears will appear around the city, so the danger is controllable.
Secondly, if Dokan (the Fifth) had a sane mind, his shop should be in the commercial district of Hearthmar, so it would be more convenient for him to learn 0th or 1st level swordsmanship by himself.
After these two points were calculated, they just happened to meet Du Yuqi's requirements for this sacrifice: low risk, little trouble, and near the town, so naturally there was no reason for him not to respond.
There is no need to elaborate on the following process. When signing the contract, Du Yuqi had already realized the deep cunning of Tu Guan (Fifth Generation) in taking advantage of loopholes:
"You are about to sign an employment contract with the Earth Pot of Hearthmar (V). After signing this contract, you must agree to the employer's reasonable requirements regarding the contract without endangering your own life. Otherwise, it will be considered a breach of contract. Once you breach the contract, you will be punished by the God of Contract depending on the extent of the breach. After completing the contract, you will receive an ordinary pocket pot."
"Ah?" Du Yuqi immediately realized something was wrong: "Hey, why can I only get one ordinary pocket jar? The information given on the sacrifice clearly said ten!"
Soon he got the hint:
"Because Tu Guan (V) has set ten people as the targets for sacrifice this time, not just you. After each person completes the contract, they will receive a sacrifice. If all ten ordinary pocket jars are given to you, what will happen to others?"
Du Yuqi: “…”
In fact, although he had discovered in advance that this sacrifice was a trap, Du Yuqi quickly comforted himself by saying that he was not here for the sacrifice this time. Since there were ten people who responded to the sacrifice, the risk this time could be said to have been greatly reduced again...
Du Yuqi once heard a famous saying that when you encounter a tiger in the forest, you don't have to run faster than the tiger, you just have to run faster than your companions. Even if this sacrifice is an astonishingly huge pit, with nine more people to share the risk with him, Du Yuqi will be more confident of escaping.
There is no need to say much about what happened next. Du Yuqi entered the transmission channel and then held the space ring tightly in his hand. He was still quite nervous. This was his week's hard-earned money, and he must not let anything go wrong.
The space-time channel around me gradually became blurred...
After waiting for a while, the surrounding scenery began to emerge. Du Yuqi now focused his attention on the surrounding environment. He was prepared to take targeted measures if there was anything wrong. He had to calculate clearly whether to escape or fight. After all, this damn earthen jar left a very bad impression on him from the beginning, so he had to be on guard!
As his vision gradually became clearer, Du Yuqi couldn't help but be stunned:
"Ah, what's going on?"
It turned out that when he looked carefully, he found that he was actually on a small hill. A huge magic circle was drawn on the ground in front of him. Inside the magic circle were strange patterns such as the moon with wings, the sun with a beard, and some other strange patterns. There was also a thin guy with a hat on his head that looked like a khaki jar.
"Is this the Tujar (Fifth Generation) that summoned me? Judging from his name, this guy should be from a peculiar family. Tujar is not just a name, but a code name. Fifth Generation means inheritance for five generations... It's just like the Queen of England is divided into Elizabeth I and Elizabeth II, right?"
Du Yuqi said to himself.
He turned around and looked around. He could see the bright sunshine, green grass, and a path paved with white stones. The scenery was beautiful, and there were lush forests around. There were a lot of sky trees in the forest, which were blooming at this time. The white flowers were as beautiful as cherry blossoms. As the gentle breeze blew, many petals looked like falling cherry blossoms, dancing in the air like floating catkins. The tranquil and charming feeling was unforgettable no matter what.
Then, you can see that around this small hill is a huge city. There are a large number of sky trees planted in this city, so it is bathed in the wind and the petals of the sky trees. Most of the buildings in the city are white, full of an exotic style that Du Yuqi has never seen before.
Most of the city was built on the plains, with only some edge parts spread out on several small hills. The small hill where Du Yuqi was at the moment was right on the edge of the city, so its absolute height was only about thirty or forty meters, which also gave him a bird's-eye view.
In the center of the city is a circular square with several fountains in the middle. The roads are straight and still paved with pure white stones. Du Yuqi noticed that the people here seemed to have a special and obsessive preference for white, and the square and fountains are both round in shape, just like the shape of suns.
