puff-
No, no, it's so fucking embarrassing, how could I say such embarrassing words.
I thought, as the male protagonist, I should say something cool at this point in time, but accidentally, I said something so immature.
This feeling of shame was like reading out his non-mainstream junior high school diary in front of his college classmates. Yang Yu wished he could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
Yang Yu tried his best to suppress his inner confusion and not to let his embarrassment show through his words, while waiting for Bai Jin's answer. However, Bai Jin just sat on the chair, holding the staff, motionless.
Big sister, can you please say something? If you don't say anything, I will be the only one who is embarrassed.
"Can I consider it my payment for accompanying you on your adventure?"
Bai Jin's sudden words made Yang Yu overjoyed.
"You can understand it this way. Don't worry. I will do my best to ensure your safety. After all, you are my partner."
"Okay then." Bai Jin stood up shakily, stretched out her hand and shook it tightly with Yang Yu, "I hope you won't break your promise."
Compared to Yang Yu's broad palm, Bai Jin's hand was very small. Perhaps because of her long-term illness, it was terribly thin, just skin and bones, very white. But it was warm, and there was a weak pulse, as if she was really alive.
Bai Jin smiled, but this time her smile was different from the previous ones. It came from within, and it was a genuine, creepy smile.
"Hey, are you going on adventures? I'm really looking forward to what kind of creatures and people I'll see along the way. There must be many suitable for making potions, and they can also become test subjects for my curse magic."
It really hasn't changed at all.
After dealing with Bai Jin, Yang Yu explained the ins and outs of the mission. It was not through the formal channels of the auction house, but directly by sneaking into the research institute to get what they needed. Bai Jin was a little surprised and a little resistant, but when she heard that the Yinlan Chamber of Commerce was likely to collude with other countries, she was relieved and relieved.
You, a curse wizard, actually have a stronger sense of justice than me. Yang Yu directly said, you are really not suitable to be a curse wizard.
"The above is the complete content of our mission. There are certain risks, so they asked us to temporarily hide in other cities for a while after completing the mission. At that time, our journey will officially begin. Bring all the things you need. We will start the action this weekend. Everything is subject to my arrangements. Understand?"
"I didn't quite understand some of the things just now. In order to successfully complete the task and get the medicine, could you please explain the task requirements and process from the beginning?"
"It's not impossible. If you really can't remember, just follow me quietly."
"Don't worry, I was just checking to see if there was anything I missed, just in case."
Time passed bit by bit, and the day of action finally arrived.
When Yang Yu arrived at the Adventurer's Guild, he contacted Terra and selected the skills he wanted from the list of skill scrolls that Terra brought.
Originally, he thought that the Giant Umbrella Chamber of Commerce was just a small chamber of commerce and couldn't produce any particularly good skill scrolls. However, it turned out to have many extremely practical skills, which made Yang Yu wish he could choose a few more.
After weighing the pros and cons many times, Yang Yu made a choice, "I choose these two."
The name of the first skill is [Iron Wall]. Once activated, it will reduce the damage received by 20% within 20 seconds.
The name of the second skill is [Steel Body]. After it is activated, it can increase dual resistance by 10% within 10 seconds and increase maximum health by 20%.
With these two skills, Yang Yu's tankiness can be greatly increased, and he can finally act like a defensive warrior.
In the past, he focused on endurance and secondary on speed. He was obviously a defensive warrior, but he turned it into a tanky assassin. However, a tank that relies on avoiding and blocking damage is still a tank.
It’s a pity that Yang Yu doesn’t know how long this situation can last.
The game has just begun, and the monsters he encounters are still very basic. There are no particularly abnormal monsters, and he can easily deal with them with speed alone. But in the later stages of the game, who knows what monsters will be waiting for him.
He didn't have the confidence to dodge the giant dragon's large-scale scorching breath; if he encountered a BOSS that could bind him or drastically reduce his speed, he would be defeated if his speed was too high and his other attributes were too low.
Therefore, we must remain steadfast in our defensive war approach.
Yang Yu chose two skills, and he chose them so naturally that Tera was a little helpless, "You can only choose one skill."
"Don't worry, I will definitely be able to complete the task better than you think. When the time comes, you will definitely give me a skill scroll."
Yang Yu smiled meaningfully, and Terra felt more and more that the young man in front of him was not simple.
The skill scrolls of rare skills are very valuable, and even the Giant Umbrella Chamber of Commerce will not easily give out two as rewards. However, if he can complete the task in excess, the Chamber of Commerce will definitely not be stingy and take the opportunity to win him over.
Could it be that he alone possessed some secret information about the Yinlan Chamber of Commerce that was unknown to the public
Haha—how is this possible? No matter how outstanding a young person is, he can't easily investigate things that the Giant Umbrella Chamber of Commerce cannot investigate.
Secretly rejecting the idea in his heart, Terra smiled and said, "If you can really complete the task better than expected, it's not a bad idea to give you another one. Don't forget the delivery location. When you get there, it's best to confirm it and remember the route to avoid getting lost."
"Everything will be fine."
Yang Yu waved his hand, took Bai Jin on the carriage, and left Rhodes City.
The location of this operation is Chuanyang City, which takes less than half a day from the town of Rhodes where the Adventurer's Guild is located.
The Adventurer's Guild also often receives commissions from Chuanyang City, which are either miscellaneous tasks of finding various things, or temporary tasks of helping to maintain public order in the city.
Bai Jin has taken on such tasks many times and is quite familiar with the city, so she can serve as a guide.
The sun was high in the sky at noon. After paying the late payment fee and passing through the checkpoint, the two arrived at Chuanyang City. The bustling streets were crowded with cars and people. Shops of all sizes were neatly arranged in the streets, and it was very lively.
After parking the carriage and taking a casual look at the place where the task was to be handed over, Yang Yu followed Bai Jin to an unnamed alley, where a man wearing an orange-red mask had been waiting for a long time.
His hair was pale, his fingers were dry, and his long white beard was faintly visible behind the mask.
"Is there no one left in their Chamber of Commerce?"
Yang Yu muttered softly, very surprised that such an old man came to pick them up.
"I heard everything you just said." The old man hunched his shoulders, and there was no joy, anger, or sorrow in his voice. He just asked casually, "Why do you say that?"
There was nothing he could do even if he was heard, so Yang Yu smiled and wanted to say, how could they be so disrespectful to the elderly and love the young by sending an old man like you to do the work yourself, but he ended up opening the panel and taking a look.
Oh my god, it’s the President of the Chamber of Commerce who came out to greet us personally!
If, as soon as they meet someone, they say that there is no one in other people's chamber of commerce and mock that their chamber of commerce is small, they will definitely be dragged out and beaten until they cannot take care of themselves.
There was no other way, Yang Yu could only bite the bullet and prevaricate with a half-smile, "It's nothing, I just didn't expect that the president of the Giant Umbrella Chamber of Commerce would come out to greet me in person."
