Quadruple split

Game time AM08:13

Ankh Bazaar, Home of Blue Carp

After a brief discussion, Mo Tan and Ji Xiaoge had just returned to the hotel door when they saw a tall middle-aged man slowly walking out. He had a face as sharp as a knife but slightly depressed. His face and beard were neatly trimmed, and he was wearing old leather armor that seemed to be of a slightly mismatched size. He looked a bit nondescript, but his calm and self-confident temperament did not make him look funny.

For some reason, Mo Tan suddenly thought that it would be particularly suitable if he replaced the leather armor on this man with a set of heavy armor and paired it with a war hammer, epee, axe, or dragon spear.

The tall man with a slightly sad look on his brow sighed, and while walking forward, he looked back at the hotel, with a mixed expression on his face.

However, neither Mo Tan nor Ji Xiaoge were gossipers, so after subconsciously sizing up this strong man with a strong aura, they quickly walked back to the Blue Carp House without any intention of meddling in other people's business.

After all, this game doesn't put a yellow exclamation point over the head of an NPC who is in desperate need of help.

"Well, I don't know if it's an illusion."

As a result, at this moment, Ji Xiaoge suddenly tugged on Mo Tan's arm, frowned and turned his head sideways to look at the middle-aged man who had walked more than ten meters and turned back three times with each step, and murmured thoughtfully. Said: "Do you think that uncle looks a bit familiar?"

Mo Tan pondered for a moment and nodded slightly: "Well, it looks a bit familiar."

"But I probably haven't seen him before. If I meet such a prominent uncle, I will definitely remember him."

The girl wrinkled her nose in confusion and thought hard as she climbed the stairs briskly: "I don't have the slightest impression of him either in the game or outside the game, but I always feel that he is very kind-hearted. Hmm, who can he look like?" "

Mo Tan, who was following her, hesitated for a moment, then reached out and patted Ji Xiaoge's shoulder, silently pointing to a figure at the end of the corridor on the second floor——

A trainee mage who looks like an immortal, wearing a sky-blue mage robe, with pleats on his face that can trap mosquitoes, and whose seemingly thin body contains explosive power. He is currently squatting on the ground sipping cheap tea/occasionally Self-propelled mine/lowest level adventurer Mr. Jadeka.

"Hey, I'm back~"

The old gentleman raised his head keenly, smiled at the two of them, and asked kindly: "Have you two eaten? Yaya must be getting up soon. If you haven't eaten yet, let's eat some together later." ?”

Mo Tan poked Ji Xiaoge, who was staring at Jadeka in shock next to him: "Cough."

"Ah, yes, no, not yet, we haven't eaten yet."

Only then did Ji Xiaoge react, scratch his hair and laugh twice, then pretended to be casual and asked: "Old Jia, you woke up early in the morning and stayed here drinking tea?"

Jadeka nodded and said with a smile: "Isn't that right? People can't be idle when they get old, but they are still not as good as you two. You are so young that you get up earlier than an old man like me."

"You deserve it. If you didn't have to sleep in the game, you wouldn't have seen me before nine o'clock in the morning."

Ji Xiaoge sent a message to Mo Tan with a guilty conscience, and then continued to ask Jadeka "carelessly": "Are you just drinking tea here?"

"Yes." Lao Jia nodded very naturally, but his eyes still flickered unconsciously: "Otherwise, what else can I do?"

Ji Xiaoge and Mo Tan glanced at each other secretly, and then changed the topic together in a tacit understanding. They chatted about all kinds of things until Yaya got up, and then joined Anthony Dabbs who had been squatting at the door of the hotel for some time. We found a nearby stall to solve the breakfast problem (Anthony’s food was taken care of by Ji Xiaoge).

‘But it really seems like it! Jadeka and the uncle we met at the door before! Do you think he could be Lao Jia's son or grandson? ’

Ji Xiaoge was processing Anthony's special dishes on the spot while sending a message to Mo Tan.

‘Probably not. Didn’t Lao Jia already say that he has no children or a wife? Maybe it’s his family. ’

The corner of Mo Tan's mouth twitched as he watched groups of extremely ordinary ingredients being processed by Ji Xiaoge until thick smoke billowed out and sparks flew everywhere. He turned to look at the expectant Anthony with admiration and replied quickly.

'Well, I always feel that his background is not simple. To be honest, Jadekar's physique is definitely not that of an ordinary mage. Or rather, it can be easily cultivated by ordinary humans. Suddenly, I am a little curious. ’

‘Let’s not delve too much into it. Are you sure you’ve already said hello? ’

‘Well, no problem. The convoy had already left Anka and headed north at six o’clock. There were so many of them, they wouldn’t go too fast. ’

'learn. ’

fifteen minutes later

The 'Wang Wang Adventurer Team' appeared at the entrance of the Anka Market Adventurer Branch. Because Mo Tan, the team leader, had something to leave early yesterday, they did not go to collect their rewards immediately at Ji Xiaoge's suggestion. Instead, they made an appointment to come together the next morning.

"Later, sister Yege, just take my share of the reward."

Dabus, who was quite relieved to have successfully completed the task for the first time, smiled and said with a smile to Ji Xiaoge, who had already become familiar with him: "Just use it as Anthony's food expenses. It's really troublesome for you during this period."

The winged girl who was walking at the front didn't show any pretense, she just turned around and smiled and said: "Okay, I just happened to have run out of ingredients on hand, but I won't use them all. You should also keep some money in case something like this happens to me." If something unexpected happens, I can buy some food to deal with it, so that Anthony won't be so hungry that he goes berserk."

Ya Ya, who was jumping around Mo Tan, smacked his lips, threw himself on Mo Tan's back, put his little mouth to his ear and whispered: "Wang thinks it's strange, why does Wang want to spend money to suffer?"

Mo Tan thought for a long time and found that it was really difficult for him to answer this question, so he had no choice but to spread his hands and said: "Everyone has his own preference for radish and green vegetables."

Ya Ya stuck out her tongue and rubbed Mo Tan's cheek affectionately: "Wang likes to eat meat, even Luo Wang and Qing Wang don't like it."

"Oh, this is the first D-level mission in my life that didn't go wrong at all."

Jadeka held the staff with billowing smoke in his hand and let out a long sigh with great emotion. Motan, who was trying to get the teeth off his back, noticed that many adventurers had fled the area quickly. For fear of being affected by a notorious mobile explosive.

At the same time, not far away, Chris, who was lazing behind the counter as usual, raised his head, waved to several people vigorously, and said loudly: "Come here, you idiots."

After everyone gathered neatly around him, Chris took out six money bags that seemed to have been prepared long ago from under the counter, and pushed them forward: "Last night's reward, fifteen gold coins per person, calculated per person. , If you leave early, you will be deducted one gold coin."

Dabbs scratched his head in confusion and asked, "But why six money bags?"

Before Chris could answer, Ji Xiaoge patted his forearm with a smile: "I said it's based on head count. Do you want to count how many heads we have here?"

Dabbs was shocked at the time. He first looked at Anthony, who was confused, and then said in shock: "Is this okay?!"

"In principle, no, but yesterday a D-class adventurer happened to be beaten to the point where he couldn't get out of bed because he was singing, dancing, talking nonsense, and attacking a bald man in a tavern, so I changed Anthony Dabbs to, 'Anthony , Dabbs', anyway, you have two heads, even if the superiors check it out, I still have room for nonsense, and if I get an extra reward, it will make up for the time I deceived you before."

Dabus opened his mouth: "Is this even possible?!"

Anthony laughed stupidly: "What the hell~"

Dabbs' head was full of black lines: "Don't learn this! Why can't you remember the good words!"

"Hey, it's a good thing anyway."

Ji Xiaoge grabbed two money bags and winked at Dabbs: "I'll take Anthony's share as food expenses, and you can just keep one for emergencies."

Dabbs laughed dryly: "Emergency expenses are also used as food expenses. I don't think there is much difference."

"That's nonsense. You two should spend some money to change your outfits first."

Miss Chris rolled her eyes, and after everyone put away their share of the reward, she asked Mo Tan to sign as a routine, which was considered to be the completion of the formalities.

[Your team has completed the special adventurer mission: Razzie Monthly Auction Security (D), gained 500 Thorn Knight experience points, 100 optional experience points, Adventurer Guild reputation +20, Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce reputation +20, Cross Clotide's reputation +0.5]

Immediately afterwards, the three players all heard similar system prompts, and they all lamented in their hearts that it was really difficult for the young lady's reputation to rise.

"Okay, now your resumes are not very good-looking, but they are finally not so disgusting."

Chris put away his notebook and yawned lazily: "Do you have any other plans recently? If not, just do more tasks honestly. The more you practice, the more comfortable your life will be. "

Mo Tan pondered for a moment, then turned back to everyone and asked, "What do you think?"

Jadeka stroked his white beard: "Anyway, I have nothing to do, and it would be embarrassing to go to the Mages Guild for further training. I might as well continue to find something to do here. I feel that my level of controlling demons has improved a lot recently. "

"It's fun to be an adventurer." Ji Xiaoge chuckled and flapped his wings lightly: "I'm not tired of it yet."

"Wang doesn't know, Wang is with everyone!"

Ya Ya squatted next to Mo Tan, smiling very silly and cheerfully.

"I plan to borrow two cookbooks from the library first, and then buy some cheap equipment, and then I'll be fine."

Dabbs shrugged his right shoulder and glanced at Anthony helplessly: "As long as he has something to eat, I will follow him if everyone doesn't dislike it."

Anthony nodded naively, showing the same smile as Yaya.

"Then it's settled."

Before Mo Tan could say anything, Miss Chris smacked her lips, then took out a large, thick book and slapped it on the table with a clang. She pulled it and said, "Well, let me see if there is any What tasks are suitable for you?"

Ji Xiaoge said "Huh" and asked Chris blankly, who was looking through the task list: "Aren't we looking for tasks ourselves?"

"you?"

Chris curled his lips and sneered: "Do you know which tasks are the most cost-effective? Do you know which tasks are least prone to accidents? Do you know which tasks can make extra money? Do you know which tasks can increase your efficiency the fastest and take risks? What is the level of the team? If you don’t know, just be honest and obedient. When has my sister tricked you?"

Mo Tan opened his mouth, and it took a lot of effort to swallow back the words "almost all the time" that he was about to say.

"To be honest, you guys are pretty good if you take away those deceptive personal characteristics. Damn it, today the magic crystal circuit is collectively back to the factory for maintenance. This thing is really inconvenient to use."

Chris grumbled and complained, then continued to flip through the thick book in his hand, and explained absently: "Anyway, it would be a bit wasteful to just do ordinary D-level tasks, and D-level Most of the tasks are trivial things, and you happen to be prone to problems with trivial things, so you might as well split into several groups to do individual tasks, and raise everyone's level to D+ as soon as possible, so that you can receive C-level ones. It’s a group mission.”

Jadka, who had been in the Adventurer's Guild for a long time before, nodded and agreed: "What you said makes sense. This will make it much easier in the early stage, and you can quickly come into contact with tasks that can really sharpen your skills, such as Warcraft Wanted or something like that, right?”

Chris glanced at him: "Do you still have the nerve to say that? Didn't I tell you before that even if you, an old immortal, just find a temporary team to join as the main hand-to-hand fighter, you will probably be promoted to C+ or above after so many years. You’re a B-level adventurer, you have to be a mage, you have to explode!”

Jadekar: "."

"Okay, take a look at these tasks I copied down."

After Chris finished quarreling with Jadeka, he also put down his pen and pushed forward a piece of paper filled with ghost drawings: "Mission No. 13951, reward 15 gold coins, go to the small plain south of Anka Market to find three Ten honey ant nests are then marked on the map. The puppy nose is easy to use. As long as you don’t make mistakes, it should be done within a week.”

Yaya perked up his ears: "Woof?"

Chris casually took out a big bone and stuffed it into the dog girl's mouth, and continued: "The next mission is mission number 24163. The reward is 30 gold coins. It is also a small plain in the south. There is a wild boar that just appeared half a month ago. The bandit gang is a garbage gang that only dares to rob low-level professionals. As for that self-destruction maniac, you can just go over and plunge into the pig pile and blow them up. If not, just throw away your arms and slap them."

Jadekar: "."

"Then, number 17580, reward of 50 gold coins, go north along Miriel Avenue from the market, and mediate between two centaur tribes who are fighting each other in the middle of the Elf Wilderness. You can try it."

Mo Tan nodded slightly.

"Number 15569, go to the hut in the middle of Millier Avenue by the Silver Crystal River and cook a meal for the old man Harper who lives there. If you can help him regain his sense of taste, the reward will be at least four digits. If you can't get it back, it will be 10 Gold coins, sister Ye Ge, you should go and express your condolences to the lonely old man."

"Hmm~"

"Huh?!"*4
