Embers Ad Infinitum

Long Yuehong read the mission description several times and whispered:

"This task seems difficult to complete.

“Can we really make money off of this?”

The things were lost three years ago, and the floating population in Gerstburg is neither large nor small, so the possibility of the clues being completely cut off is real, and the probability is not low.

Not to mention, it has been two months since the mission was promulgated, and the ruins hunters have not yet found any useful clues. They have only conducted preliminary investigations and reported certain results from the oral accounts of the corresponding personnel and field surveys as harvest.

Therefore, although the fifty gold knight coins are eye-catching, as far as the matter itself is concerned, they may be just a mirror, something that can be seen but never touched.

The idea of ​​making a fortune is closer to the life arrangement of trying to get rich from lottery tickets in old world entertainment materials.

"For others, this is really hopeless, but for us, maybe we will stumble on clues when we go out later." Jiang Baimian moved his eyebrows.

"Yes, yes." Shang Jianyao immediately agreed.

"Uh..." Long Yuehong didn't know if the team leader was making fun of her.

Jiang Baimian no longer tightened his face and smiled:

"Okay, just kidding."

She said she was joking, but she did not rule out the possibility just now. After all, the figures of certain entities were looming behind her and others. If the matter of the Bodhi statue was really important and involved the battle in the "New World", what clues would there be? Taking the initiative to join the "Old Tune Group" is a development.

Jiang Baimian continued to say to Long Yuehong:

"You have also seen that you don't need to actually find the Bodhi statue. You can still get a certain reward by providing real clues that are different from the previous ones.

"Besides, the guild doesn't only have one mission like this. Now that we're here, let's search carefully to see if there are any commissions that are suitable for us and the bounty is not low.

"Well, if it doesn't work out, send a telegram to the company and ask if there are any intelligence personnel dispatched in Gerstburg and if they can provide us with some funds for activities."

This time, the "Old Investigation Team" still wants to investigate the matter of keeping humans in captivity at Zhi Sui. I don't really want to contact the company if it's not necessary.

"Yeah." Long Yuehong agreed with this statement and focused on the task information scrolling on the big screen.

These commissions include temporary employment from factories, someone looking for bodyguards, purchasing the furs of certain ice creatures, asking people to search for technical information on a certain type of special steel in the ruins of surrounding cities, and the need to transport bulk goods. There is a biological experiment recruiting volunteers...

In addition to local tasks, the Hunter Guild of Gerstburg also has specific commissions from other medium and large human settlements from other forces, which mainly focus on hunting down certain targets. For example, the Hunter Guild’s bounty on a dark hunter, for example, The last city's "Hand of Order" offered rewards to Xue Shiyue, Zhang Qubing, Gu Zhiyong, and Qian Bai.

Shang Jian Yao felt this and said:

“If it weren’t for the fact that this place is far away from the ‘Primary City’ and the bounty wouldn’t be available for a long time, I might have to go to the Prime City to claim it myself. I really want to surrender.

"This way we won't have a fiscal crisis!"

Long Yuehong was startled and quickly looked around and found that no one was paying attention.

Of course, this is mainly because Shang Jianyao's voice is very low.

Bai Chen retracted his gaze from looking around and changed the topic:

"There are currently no tasks that can be taken on. Those that are suitable for us are required to start today, and we have to wait until the high-performance batteries are fully charged."

Jiang Baimian said "hmm":

"Then apply for the information for the Bodhi Statue mission and study it carefully when you go back."

The corresponding information includes two parts, one is the information provided by the mission publisher, and the other is the various oral accounts and various survey results recovered by the previous ruin hunters.

"This is the only way." Long Yuehong expressed her position before Shang Jianyao.

He didn't want to stay in the Hunter Guild for a long time at all.

Although Shang Jianyao was a little disappointed, he still obeyed the majority.

After getting the paper information and paying the printing fee, the four members of the "Old Adjustment Team" left the Gerstburg Hunters Guild and returned to the "Fire and Iron" hotel.

It is currently working hours, and there are not many pedestrians on the road, mainly relic hunters. From time to time, a group of "White Knights" soldiers wearing alloy breastplates, bulletproof helmets, and holding submachine guns and assault rifles patrol by.

These soldiers were also divided into three, six or nine ranks. The most eye-catching group all rode tall horses, which was very majestic.

Shang Jianyao's eyes were filled with envy.

There was nothing going on along the way, so Long Yuehong walked into the hotel lobby first.

The man named Spencer at the front desk looked up at them and said casually:

"Come back so soon?"

"Do you know where we went?" Shang Jianyao stepped forward and asked in shock.

The blond-haired, blue-eyed Spant shrugged his shoulders:

"Isn't it a Hunter's Guild?"

"Are you following us?" Shang Jian Yao Qiqing was both "anxious" and "angry".

Spant curled his lips and explained:

"No tracking required. Isn't it obvious?

"You are bringing robots with you. You are not weak at first glance. You are obviously not here to be workers. And it is not summer yet, so it is not suitable to go to the ice field. People like you can only go there on your own, except to go to the Hunter Guild to find something to do. Exploring those urban ruins to the south, haha, you have only been here for a day, so you probably don’t know enough about the surrounding area.”

In other words, the only possibility left was to go to the Hunter Guild.

Bang bang bang, Shang Jianyao applauded Spant.

He did not forcefully refute, but praised with a smile:

"Your logic skills are pretty good."

"So I'm still hesitating whether to strengthen my brain." Spant once again showed a troubled expression, "It's already above the standard, and the potion of the basic model has limited improvement."

Shang Jianyao skipped this topic and asked instead:

"Didn't you say you were going to the Hunter's Guild to pick up the mission last night? Did you find it?"

Spant hesitated for a moment, nodded and said:

"have."

He paused and said:

"You didn't find the mission, so you came back so soon?"

"There is no suitable task." Shang Jianyao emphasized.

Spencer nodded, did not ask any more questions, and was busy with other things.

Seeing that he had no intention of discussing the mission in depth, Jiang Baimian smiled and changed the subject:

"If you want to get information here, besides going to the Hunters Guild, who else can you turn to?"

Although the waiter at the "Old Henry's" restaurant has already mentioned one, the "Old Tune Team" certainly does not want to hang himself from a tree.

Spante was stunned for a moment, then laughed.

"Haha!" Shang Jianyao laughed.

"You, why are you laughing?" Spante looked confused.

Shang Jianyao explained seriously:

"You laughed. If I didn't smile, wouldn't it look like I was rude?"

Spant was obviously choked, and after a few seconds he said:

"I'm laughing because the person you're looking for is my colleague Kittys."

"Jitis?" The dozing female receptionist with honey-colored hair and gray-blue eyes appeared in Long Yuehong's mind.

Except for her hard facial features, she really couldn't tell that she was an information dealer.

Spant muttered:

"Actually, I don't really believe it, but I have bought several valuable pieces of information from her.

"Although she is usually inattentive, loves to be late, is inattentive in doing things, and likes to be in a daze. She seems to live in her own world, but she seems to have many secret intelligence channels and knows a lot of things that no one knows."

"Incredible!" Shang Jianyao expressed his feelings exaggeratedly.

"I can't tell." Jiang Baimian was also a little surprised.

In particular, Spant also added a bunch of adjectives for being in a daze and not concentrating.

Spant spread his hands:

“But the facts are already before our eyes.

"I can only tell myself that the reason she likes to be late is because she is busy with intelligence matters, and the reason she likes to be in a daze, inattentive and unfocused is because she has to think and analyze."

"Then why does she still work part-time at the front desk?" Long Yuehong couldn't help but ask.

Spant said:

"I asked and she didn't answer."

Jiang Baimian nodded:

"We will find her when necessary."

After bidding farewell to Spant and returning to the room, the four carbon-based people Jagannava from the "Old Tune Team" studied the information on the Bodhi Statue mission.

As Jiang Baimian said before, there is not much valuable information about this information. Firstly, in the past three years, an unknown number of people have left Gerstburg and took away useful clues. Secondly, the monk who was sitting in the body He was an ascetic monk. When he arrived in Gerstburg, he didn't stay in a hotel or go into a restaurant. He didn't have much contact with the residents here. If he hadn't had to beg alchemy to make a living, no one might have had an impression of such a monk.

The only valuable information was that the monk's cause of death was illness.

Boom, boom, boom!

While the "old tune team" was looking through the information, there was a knock on their door.

Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao had sensed it in advance, but they didn't expect that they were coming to see themselves and others.

Gennava stood up and opened the door, and saw Spant outside.

"What's the matter?" Jiang Baimian walked over, feeling a little surprised.

Spant glanced at Gennava, put on a smile and said:

"It's like this, I took on a very high-paying task last night, which cannot be completed purely by one person's strength.

"I had companions, but something happened to them and they couldn't help me.

"I think your strength should be pretty good. Do you want to join forces? Don't worry, you can register with the guild and request to supervise the distribution of the bounty.

"Well, do you have an official hunter's badge? It will need to be verified then."
