"The mission has certain risks, but the rewards are great."
Just as Terra was about to continue the conversation about the reward, Yang Yu interrupted him.
"I say, you should know the Giant Umbrella Chamber of Commerce, right?"
Yang Yu's casual question made Terra shudder, "Why do you ask this suddenly? This has nothing to do with the task we are discussing now, right?"
What's even more annoying is that Yang Yu actually acted in an extremely casual manner.
"It's okay, I'm just asking."
I believe you, you idiot!
A drop of cold sweat ran across Tra's white brow.
We are still discussing the mission, it is impossible for this kid to ask this question so casually, unless he already knows that the mastermind behind this mission is the Giant Umbrella Chamber of Commerce.
This shouldn’t be the case. I clearly didn’t reveal any clues, so how did I get found out
As if seeing through Terra's thoughts, Yang Yu raised a new question, "Do you know what the Giant Umbrella Chamber of Commerce does?"
It is common knowledge that the Giant Umbrella Chamber of Commerce was the leading chamber of commerce in the country a few years ago. It was only in recent years that it was squeezed out by the Silver Orchid Chamber of Commerce. If we were to ask who is the most likely mastermind behind this mission, it would undoubtedly be the Giant Umbrella Chamber of Commerce.
Terra was panicking inside, but he pretended to be calm on the surface. The dense forehead wrinkles made it difficult to see the subtle changes on his face.
"The Giant Umbrella Chamber of Commerce is a state-owned chamber of commerce in this country. It was jointly established by several families. After each family takes a portion of the profits, they will hand over the rest to the country. Although the commissions taken by the major families are a bit harsh, the convenience they bring is undeniable."
"I don't want to know their composition. What I want to ask is their business scope. Do you understand what I mean?"
This was already considered a blow from the side. Terra wiped his beard and suppressed his inner surprise.
The business scope of the Giant Umbrella Chamber of Commerce overlaps to a large extent with that of the Silver Orchid Union, and the two have always been evenly matched. This kid has already determined that the mastermind behind the scenes is the Giant Umbrella Union.
What should I do? Should I deny it even if I am beaten to death
No, no matter how much I deny it, he knows the source of this task, so it’s better to be frank with him.
Terra still remembers vividly what Androno told him. He was able to accurately predict the opponent's actions without even seeing him, and use this as a means to induce the opponent to make the wrong decision, ultimately leading to victory.
This man is not as simple as imagined.
In just a few words, he guessed that the mission was for the Giant Umbrella Chamber of Commerce, and also saw his relationship with the Giant Umbrella Chamber of Commerce. It was really terrifying.
"I understand what you mean." Terra cleared his throat and said, "Don't worry. We will never treat you unfairly."
"Oh, then let me ask you, can I choose the skill scrolls you prepared? I don't want to get a useless skill."
Did you guess this too
Terra's eyes almost popped out of his dry sockets.
This mission is extremely dangerous, and only reasonable rewards can ensure that adventurers are extremely enthusiastic. Among them, skill scrolls that can learn skills just by opening and absorbing them are the most likely to impress adventurers, especially those skill scrolls with precious skills.
This time, in order to make the adventurers work for them wholeheartedly, the Giant Umbrella Chamber of Commerce is also prepared to bleed a little and give out a few good skill scrolls as rewards.
Unexpectedly, he also saw through this.
"You can rest assured about this. I will give you some options based on your career and will definitely not treat you unfairly."
"That's good. I'll trust you this time. I'll accept the mission. I hope you can satisfy me when the time comes."
Since he could get some skills for free, Yang Yu naturally accepted any such mission.
When the old man asked about the Giant Umbrella Chamber of Commerce, he started hesitating and avoided answering my questions. Could it be that the Giant Umbrella Chamber of Commerce has the word "Ju" in its name and is actually just an inconspicuous small chamber of commerce
I don't want to make a fool of myself by not knowing what to use the discount coupons for, so I want to ask about the business scope of the Giant Umbrella Chamber of Commerce.
But it seems that they are just a small chamber of commerce.
Is he trying to get evidence to hold someone else's hand and use it to blackmail the Yinlan Chamber of Commerce? Or is he planning to report directly and break the monopoly
Well - what they do with those things is actually none of my business. As an adventurer, it's fine as long as they pay me enough.
As far as the mission is concerned, the Yinlan Chamber of Commerce is not a good thing either. The skills given are not good, so I will just treat it as getting rid of harm in the name of fame.
However, after all this talk, it seems that the rewards do not contain the racial essence that I want.
"One more thing, it seems that the racial essence is not included in your reward."
After being exposed again, Terra didn't know how to answer and could only stammer and explain the facts.
"Racial essence is not so easy to obtain. To be honest, the Giant Umbrella Chamber of Commerce does not have that kind of thing. It cannot be obtained without some special methods. But I can tell you clearly that the Silver Orchid Chamber of Commerce has that thing. It is estimated that it was stolen from the plant tribe in the subhuman country. They also used that thing to create the now popular resurrection potion."
When Yang Yu heard the words "resurrection", he immediately became excited. "Resurrection potion? Can that thing really bring the dead back to life?"
"That's purely a marketing tactic. But, I heard that no matter how badly injured you are, as long as you're still alive, you can immediately be full of life after taking that potion. It can also cure all diseases. It has some effect in this regard, otherwise, it would be impossible to sell such a small potion at such a high price." Terra explained.
"Tsk—it's really a lie."
Yang Yu was a little disappointed that he couldn't really come back to life. During the one year he spent farming, he had inquired about many things.
In this world, resurrection from the dead seems to be a miracle reserved for gods. Even the noblest saints cannot revive dead people.
Therefore, Yang Yu could not place people who were sent to die in the strategy, because if an NPC teammate died, they were really gone. If those NPCs were needed later, he would be left with nothing.
After continuing to talk with Terra for a while and finalizing the details of the reward, action date and a series of action plans, Yang Yu said goodbye to Terra and went to the tavern to search for information about Bai Jin.
The door slowly closed, Terra breathed a sigh of relief and took out a purple crystal ball. The crystal ball was quickly connected, and a face that was equally old appeared on it, but that old face looked a bit richer than Terra's, and his eyes revealed the vicissitudes of life, and at this moment there was a hint of anxiety.
He is the current president of the Giant Umbrella Chamber of Commerce, Carlo Joey.
As soon as the crystal ball was connected, Carlo couldn't wait to ask Terra about the situation.
"How is it? Have you found the right person?"
Terra was silent for a long while. He didn't know where to start to explain what had just happened.
"Is the mission really too difficult? I thought that as long as the reward was high enough, we could find it." Carlo's eyes dimmed. In this case, he could only send out his own men at the risk of being exposed.
Terra shook his head and said slowly: "No. We found the person, just as you requested, the level cannot be too high, and he has excellent judgment. Everything is perfect."
"Then why do you still make such an awkward expression?"
"Perhaps, I have found a very remarkable young man to help us."
Carlo was silent. It had been a long time since he heard his old friend comment on a young man like this.
"Since you have such an evaluation, maybe I should meet him."
"I think so too. Don't forget to find a way out for them. Regardless of whether they complete the mission in the end, I don't want them to fall into the hands of the Yinlan Chamber of Commerce."
"That's what I hope for, too."
