Hire me as a guard
Zhou Jing's heart moved, and he knew why Root left him alone.
The lord must have asked other hunters before, but they didn't answer. Now he found himself a newcomer, so he came to ask.
It's not necessarily how special he is. It is estimated that all the new hunters and lords in Baiyuan City have invited them.
Zhou Jing rolled his eyes, did not refuse immediately, and instead asked, "When you are your bodyguard, you don't have to hunt alien beasts?"
"The escort's duty is mainly to protect my personal safety." Root nodded and smiled. He didn't say it directly, but the meaning was almost implied.
Zhou Jing was curious: "I saw before that you already have some guards by your side. You don't seem to encounter any danger in Baiyuan City. What do you need more guards for?"
"The threat of alien beasts is aimed at people in the whole city, but some threats are only aimed at me personally, because I am the lord, some people who oppose me may plot my life. And now the world has changed, some alien blood warriors have power , but wants to do something wrong, and the lord is not safe." Root shook his head.
"Is that so..." Zhou Jing thought thoughtfully: "Then what kind of remuneration can you give me?"
Root suddenly came to the spirit.
He invited new hunters as usual, just with the mentality of giving it a try. In the past, many hunters refused him out of the hunter's sense of honor without waiting for him to talk about the reward.
At this time, when Zhou Jing asked about the commission, Root felt that there was a drama, and said:
"Eighty Tera silver coins every ten days, all kinds of medicines are supplied at the cost price."
That's it
Zhou Jing shook his head secretly.
Eighty per ten days, only two hundred and four a month, the income of alien hunters is not necessarily lower than this, as long as the number of hunts in a month is more than that.
But after thinking about it, this commission is almost risk-free, basically like a free one. You don't have to risk your life to hunt. Some alien blood warriors who don't dare to be hunters are more willing to earn this stable money.
But... Zhou Jing didn't have much interest in the money from the alien world.
The property here is poor, and even if you have money, you can buy limited things.
A lord in a remote area doesn't seem to be able to come up with any rare resources... Even if he could, he wouldn't be able to use it as a commission.
"Forget it, I want to be a hunter more."
Zhou Jing shook his head, he just asked about the market, the apostle's "goal in life" was to be a hunter of alien beasts, and naturally he would not change careers easily.
"...Okay." Root took a deep breath and squeezed out a smile: "My invitation is always valid. You can come to me when you change your mind one day."
I'm afraid there won't be such a day...
Zhou Jing didn't say anything. After saying goodbye to Root, he left the lord's longhouse.
All the hunters left, and Root waved back all the attendants and paced the banquet hall where he was alone.
At this time, a figure turned from behind another door, it was a man with an inch head.
Root looked over: "Did you hear what you just said?"
The inch-headed man calmly hummed, and he hid behind this door the whole time.
Root was used to the magical performance of the one-inch-headed man, and did not ask him how he concealed the perception of a group of hunters, and how he could clearly understand their conversation from such a distance, he laughed:
"It seems that you guessed wrong, and the hunters didn't break a single one."
"I heard the situation. It was the new hunter named Jason who took the risk and quickly solved one of them. Good luck."
The inch-headed man had a calm tone.
Root rubbed his chin and suddenly said: "What do you think of this Jason? I heard from other hunters that he seems to be a genius. He has just become a hunter, and his strength can be compared to a second enhancement..."
"It's a bit of a skill, but that's it, it's no different from other hunters."
The inch-headed man didn't care.
…
Zhou Jing returned to the hotel to rest for the night, and the next morning, the reward was delivered.
One is the selling price of the exotic beast submitted to the workshop, and the other is the bounty promised by the lord, a total of 220 Terra silver coins.
The workshop recycles the corpses of alien beasts, and the total price is fixed. If there is not one more person, one more money will be given. Twelve hunters were distributed, and each of them had a limited amount of money, but it was still a fairly generous reward.
Zhou Jing suddenly had a lot of money on his hands, and immediately repaid the money owed to Baron.
He took him to the workshop, exchanged the alien blood potion he had just received, and transferred it to Baron to make up for the debt.
This time, the two claw bears were killed. The workshop gave each participating hunter two opportunities to exchange the different blood potion. Zhou Jing paid it back once, and there was still one exchange opportunity left in his hand.
But at present, there is no stock of alien blood medicine in the workshop, and he has not used it.
However, Baron seems to have some ideas.
"You want to make an appointment for a split-claw bear potion? Don't you plan to strengthen it a second time?"
The head of the workshop looked at Baron in front of him with a surprised tone.
Balon scratched his head and laughed: "The strengthening direction of the split-claw bear is very suitable for me, even if I don't want to strengthen it twice, it is good to prepare a different blood medicine that suits me in advance. I've been looking for medicine everywhere."
"That's right." The head of the workshop nodded.
Zhou Jing stood beside him and asked curiously, "By the way, how many different blood potions can these two split-clawed bears make?"
"It depends on the situation." The person in charge of the workshop analyzed with his fingers: "I have read your needs, and planed the materials used to make the equipment you want. The remaining materials should be able to make five to eight different parts. blood medicine."
The output is decent... Zhou Jing nodded.
Twelve hunters participated in the crusade, but the hunters always took what they needed, and they would not exchange them for the Crackclaw Bear Potion, and the remaining potions that no one wanted would become the inventory of the workshop.
"By the way, I haven't congratulated you on becoming an official hunter yet." The head of the workshop smiled.
"Thanks."
Zhou Jing nodded, and then asked, "How long will it take for this batch of equipment to be produced."
"The two long knives you want are relatively simple and can be made in 20 days, but the leather armor is more troublesome. You need to do special treatment to the fur of the split-claw bear. It may take a little longer. It is estimated that it will look like two or three months. Come and get it."
"That's quite a long time."
Zhou Jing scratched his brows. He was used to the productivity of fast shipping in the interstellar era, and was not used to such a long manual production cycle.
Balon patted him on the shoulder: "Exactly, you have dealt with a high-risk alien beast, and you are already an official hunter. Next, I don't think you need to hunt, you need a new round of practice. Go back to the village and I will teach you another breath. At your learning speed, you can practice it in about three months.”
He was used to the abnormal learning speed of "Jason Wood", and found that once he accepted such a setting, it was quite interesting.
"Alright." Zhou Jing nodded.
He has already embarked on the road of strengthening with different blood, and he feels that he needs to supplement his skills, and then go to the second strengthening, and find a way to improve the success rate of the second strengthening.
At this time, Baron suddenly smiled and said: "By the way, I told Wes yesterday that he plans to visit Frostwood Village and teach you the breathing techniques he has mastered, so you have to learn two kinds of breathing at the same time. technique."
"The Guard is Here"
Zhou Jing was startled, but only then did he know.
"Didn't you say that the study of breathing is too much useless?"
"I said so... but you're different."
Balon laughed.
Because of Zhou Jing's strange learning speed, Baron was no longer prepared to hold his own common sense, and felt that it might not be bad for Zhou Jing to learn more breathing techniques.
He only knows two kinds of breathing techniques, so he privately invited Weiss to teach new breathing techniques.
"Weiss' breathing technique is different from mine. His breathing technique can improve speed and agility, which is just right for your strengthening direction."
"… Thanks."
Seeing that Balong planned for himself like this and secretly found a new teacher for himself, Zhou Jing was a little touched.
Really a good and dedicated teacher.
He calculated silently, because of the rewards of [Into the Transcendent] and [Killing an Alien Beast for the First Time - High Risk], the astral point in his hand reached more than 2,400 points, which was much more comfortable.
If one breathing technique reaches Lv4 proficiency, it costs 700 points and two 1400 points, then your own astral points are absolutely enough, and there are daily benefits for each shuttle and placement.
And it takes about three months to train to this level, and it is like three or four days in the main world.
The first step of abnormal blood enhancement has been completed, and now it is only necessary to achieve the second abnormal blood enhancement, and the remaining two [life goals] can be completed. The route is clear, and the time for this development can be invested.
…
After receiving the payment and setting a pickup time with the workshop, Zhou Jing and Balong did not continue to stay in Baiyuan City, and went to the tavern to find Wes. Several people left the town and went to Frostwood Village.
Weiss didn't mind spending some time living in the village and teaching Zhou Jing breathing techniques.
On the one hand, he is not a stationed hunter himself, and he generally moves around freely, staying wherever he goes.
Another reason was that he also felt that Zhou Jing had a promising future and wanted to make friends, and he was not stingy with the breathing technique he mastered.
By the way, Wes also wanted to know, Baron said last night that Zhou Jing could master a set of breathing techniques in a few months, was he fooling him... If this is fake, he can win Baron two hundred silver coins.
Anyway, Weiss felt that he was going to win. Someone gave him a charity, and if he didn't come, he wouldn't come for nothing.
Several people trekked all the way back to Frostwood Village.
The village's cooking smoke curled up, without the noise of the town, it was quite peaceful and calm.
A few people came to the entrance of the village and found a little boy squatting on the side of the road in a sullen mood, holding a branch and poking the big shit, it was Rainer.
Reiner turned his head to see Zhou Jing and the others, and immediately said angrily, "You guys are finally back, it's too much, even children lie!"
Zhou Jing couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth.
It's all happened a few days ago, and now I'm still brooding. Are you so vengeful
But Reiner was surprised when he saw Wes in the crowd.
"Uncle Weiss!"
"Hahaha, it's little Rainer, come over and let Uncle hug him."
Weiss smiled, bent down and hugged Reiner, who was rushing towards him, and threw it into the sky a few times.
He has a good relationship with Baron. He has been to Shuangmu Village several times before, and he knows some villagers.
Reiner, in particular, always pestered him to ask questions, and Weiss never refused to talk to him, and he talked to the child Hu Tian every time.
Maybe Reiner's yearning for the outside world was fooled by Wes to a certain extent.
With Weiss, Reiner ignored Zhou Jing, and was amused by Weiss to giggle.
Seeing this, Zhou Jing secretly sighed at Baron's wisdom.
He should have invited Weiss over earlier, so that he would not be haunted by Reiner.
After teasing Reiner for a while, everyone went to the village chief.
The village chief also welcomed the arrival of Whis, and members of the hunter team such as Griff came to meet Whis.
Everyone knew each other, and after a few casual chats, they helped Weiss to solve the housing problem.
After all the problems in life were settled, Baron immediately dragged Zhou Jing and Weiss to the training ground, straight to the point.
"The Hunter's Breath and Forge that you learned is only used to exercise your physical fitness, and the breathing technique that Weiss and I will teach you is specially used for combat, which will allow you to explode with stronger abilities when facing the enemy."
In the training ground, Baron faced Zhou Jing and demonstrated another hunter breathing technique he had mastered.
I saw a sudden shock in his breath, and the muscles all over his body seemed to swell in a circle, and the muscles twisted like a living snake.
Hunter's Breath Power!
Baron jumped forward, the whole person jumped into the air, and then fell with a punch.
Bang!
The soil and rocks splashed, and a small hole was smashed into the ground by the fist.
Baron slowly exhaled this breath, the swollen muscles returned to their original state, and explained:
"My breathing technique can temporarily increase strength, whether it is wrestling with alien beasts or increasing destructive power at critical moments, it can be used."
I understand, this is a "raging" buff... Zhou Jing nodded.
Seeing this, Weiss also moved his body, eager to try.
"His breathing technique is generally used to confront alien beasts head-on, while my breathing technique is to increase speed and agility. As long as you are flexible enough, alien beasts can't hit you, and you can find opportunities to hit the critical point of alien beasts."
The voice fell, and Weiss took a long, sharp breath, causing a whistling sound.
Hunter's Breath · Sick!
He took a step and ran wildly, at an amazing speed, and in the process of running, he made a series of skillful dodging movements, which was quite flexible and easy to handle.
Whis suddenly moved his eyes and got ridiculed. He turned his head and ran around Baron, poking Baron's bald head with his fingers from time to time.
"Show it if you show it, don't touch my head!"
Balon's eyelids twitched and he wanted to raise his hand to grab Wes.
Whis nimbly avoided again and again, followed Balon like a phantom, and kept teasing his bald head from behind.
At this time, Weiss suddenly turned around and ran towards Zhou Jing, wanting to repeat the old trick and let Zhou Jing experience his flexibility after using breathing.
But as soon as he stretched out his hand, Zhou Jing had already caught his movement, and his reaction was as sharp as an electric shock.
Zhou Jing lightly sideways dodged Whis's hand, by the way, a short body, slipped under Whis's armpit, turned around and hugged Whis's waist.
"Huh?" Weiss was startled, he let out his breath and wanted to break free.
"Let's go!"
Zhou Jing smiled, and without hesitation, he fell back and returned the operation of Weiss to him when they met for the first time.
thump!
Weiss slumped on his horse and was disgraced.
Baron laughed aside, schadenfreude.
Weiss spit out a mouthful of sand, turned over and sat up, secretly making a mistake.
Knowing that Zhou Jing's strength is amazing after strengthening, he will not tease him.
Weiss coughed to hide the embarrassment.
"Anyway, this is the effect of my breathing technique, which makes you move faster... Although you are caught, the breathing technique itself is fine. The more agile you are, the better the breathing technique will be."
"I see."
Zhou Jing suppressed his smile and nodded.
Whis is indeed faster than he usually does. This breathing technique is indeed quite suitable for him who has strengthened the high-sensitivity and high-explosive route. No wonder Baron specially pulls Whis on and teaches himself this breathing technique.
The two showed it, and without further joking, they began to guide the key points of these two breathing techniques.
Zhou Jing quickly remembered that relevant information immediately popped up on the panel.
[Learning [Hunter's Breath and Force]]
[One of the Hunter's Breathing Techniques, temporarily increase strength]
[Skill level: Lv0- (not entry)]
[Minimum cost of learning acceleration: 100 star point]
—
[Learning [Hunter's Breath and Disease]]
[One of the Hunter's Breath, temporarily enhances agility]
[Skill level: Lv0- (not entry)]
[Minimum cost of learning acceleration: 100 star point]
For the two breathing techniques, the training acceleration cost is the same as that of [Hunter's Breath and Forging].
Zhou Jing did not hesitate, and immediately started the training acceleration, and decided to follow the two of them to practice two breathing techniques for the next period of time.
