Embers Ad Infinitum

Chapter 130: pity

"It's just a 'novice hunter', there's no need to do this, right?" Jiang Baimian said with a smile while watching Shang Jianyao pin the badge to his chest.

Before Shang Jianyao could answer, she quickly added:

"I understand, it's a sense of ceremony."

She remembered having a similar conversation at the time.

"Do you understand why you still ask?" Shang Jianyao didn't seem to hear the team leader's intention to stop.

Jiang Bai gave him a blank look, took a few steps back, and looked up at the giant screen hanging in the air.

"You don't have to be so troublesome. Every machine over there can see what tasks are available. After you have selected them, swipe the badge on the flashing red light, and then you can pick them up." A little louder reminder.

Because the two people on the opposite side just filled in the information by herself, so she didn't say it. If you can't read, you can choose the voice.

"...It's quite high-tech." Jiang Baimian suddenly felt that he was acting like a douchebag.

Inside the "Pangu creatures", it is not so convenient!

In other words, she has never been to similar places in similar departments.

The female staff member replied somewhat proudly:

"In the entire dust, there are no more than ten hunter guilds as convenient as ours."

Ah, what did you say? Jiang Baimian touched his metal cochlea and was embarrassed to ask.

- There is already a certain distance between the two sides, and the clerk's words just now were not as loud as he said before.

"She said that there are no more than ten such hunter guilds on the dusty soil." Shang Jianyao can always help "translate" in time.

Of course, sometimes, others don't want him to do that.

"As expected of the city that was rumored to be taken over by the Hunter Guild..." Jiang Baimian muttered to himself, half ridiculed and half emotional.

She led Shang Jianyao to the tables scattered around the hall, and each picked up a thin silver-white machine with an LCD screen.

It's like an enlarged, metal version of a paper notebook.

At this time, there were quite a few relic hunters standing in different places, or swiping their fingers across the screen quickly, or putting their badges on the top of the machine where the red light flashed.

Jiang Baimian also has a wealth of experience in using computers. He usually controls a chip. After scanning around, he probably understood how to operate the machine in front of him.

After she pressed the screen, she swiped up according to the prompt, and the task page was displayed.

At this time, out of the corner of her eye, she saw Shang Jianyao looking at her, took out a boxed mirror, and was eager to try.

"What do you want to do?" Jiang Baimian was very vigilant.

"Deceive yourself, pretend to be you, and then imitate your actions to successfully learn to use the machine." Shang Jianyao explained very seriously.

He glanced left and right to make sure no one was around.

This is just like dealing with Qiao Chu and the "high-level unintentional person" who made people greedy.

"..." Jiang Baimian cursed angrily, "Don't think so complicated! Don't make such a simple thing so troublesome! Come on, I'll teach you."

As a student who graduated from the Department of Electronics, Shang Jianyao is rarely seen in the market. After Jiang Baimian said a few words, he quickly mastered how to operate the machine.

It was only at this time that Long Yuehong and Bai Chen walked into the hall of the Hunters Guild.

They did not allow themselves to register as hunters, just in tandem with Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao.

Jiang Baimian glanced at the round platform area, retracted his gaze, and officially looked at the tasks:

"Mission description: North Street Zhao House recruits 20 short-term mercenaries..."

"Task description: Historian Harold is organizing a team to go to the ruins of Swamp 1 in the near future. Experienced people are urgently needed to join..."

"Mission description: A collection of antiquities seeking identification..."

"Mission Description: Weapons for Food..."

"Task description: Send lunch to Wasteland Watch..."

After quickly flipping through the tasks that he could still take up, Jiang Baimian couldn't help but sighed:

"such a pity… "

"It's a pity..." Shang Jianyao on the other side made the same voice, but did not imitate Jiang Baimian's tone.

Jiang Baimian looked at him sideways and asked with a smile:

"What are you pity for?"

"Qiao Chu's mission is gone." Shang Jianyao did not hide his regret.

"I also regret this." Jiang Baimian said "hey", "Otherwise, with the information we have, we can get at least four tons of flour, and we don't have to worry about it recently, and we will become an 'official hunter' in an instant. "

Her subtext is that the information about Qiao Chu held by the "Old Tune Team" can allow everyone to take up tasks individually and report the same content.

Once completed, the reward is one ton of ordinary flour and one hundred credit points.

- From "novice hunter" to "official hunter", only one hundred credit points are required.

Having said this, Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao sighed again in unison:

"such a pity… "

In a sense, Qiao Chu is really a walking "treasure".

After having a general understanding of what the mission is and having a few things in mind, Jiang Baimian said to Shang Jianyao:

"Let's go, these are not suitable, come back tomorrow and the day after tomorrow."

In fact, some tasks are quite suitable for "novice hunters", and there is no need to leave Weed City, but Jiang Baimian must first contact the intelligence officer of "Pangu Creatures" to confirm what to do next before considering which tasks to take.

This time in the Hunter Guild, on the one hand, she registered her identity, and on the other hand, she initially grasped the current situation of Weed City by learning about the tasks.

A leaf falling can tell the autumn of the next day. In the highly developed Wild Grass City of the Hunter Guild, if there is any turbulent undercurrent, it will more or less show certain clues through the tasks released.

In a word, after Jiang Baimian finished browsing, he just felt that the situation in North Street might be a little bit tense, but everything else was fine.

"Marsh No. 1 Ruins?" Shang Jianyao asked in confusion as he followed Jiang Baimian to the door of the Hunter Guild.

"Looking at the description later, it should be the one we have been to." Jiang Baimian is no stranger to the replacement number.

After leaving the Hunter Guild, she put her hands in her pockets and said with a smile:

"Let's take a stroll around. This is my first time to Weed City. I had a chance before, but I missed it."

Shang Jian Yao was equally interested.

After a while, they opened a distance, and Long Yuehong, who was following behind them, asked Bai Chen suspiciously:

"Where is the leader going?"

How do you look aimlessly

Bai Chen thought for a while and said:

"She should be familiar with this place."

Long Yuehong was startled for a moment, and vaguely understood.

After wandering like this until three o'clock in the afternoon, they finally returned to the "Affordable Gun Store", entered through the front door, exited through the back door, climbed the stairs, and opened the door to enter the house.

Jiang Baimian didn't speak. He took out a large piece of white paper from his tactical backpack and used a pen to paint on it while recalling.

It didn't take long for the layout of the entire Wild Grass City to appear, except for North Street.

At the same time, Jiang Baimian also marked the words "there are ditches", "more occlusions", "the neighborhood is chaotic", and "the wiring layout is very poor and prone to failure" in different places.

After doing this, she handed the paper and pen to Bai Chen:

"Look at what you want to add? Haha, that is, the Weed City is not big."

Bai Chen gave a "hmm", took the pen and paper, spread it on the table, and began to draw and write.

Taking this opportunity, Jiang Baimian said to Shang Jianyao and Long Yuehong:

"I'll take a good look at it later and keep it in my mind.

"Then we may move separately. At that time, if there is an accident, at least we have to know where to hide and how to use the terrain."

Long Yuehong has long been convinced:

"Yes, team leader!"

Shang Jianyao frowned slightly and said:

"What needs to be avoided is the accident."

Before Jiang Baimian could stare at him, he added to himself:

"After remembering, you can make it impossible to avoid accidents and make use of the terrain."

"Just understand." Jiang Baimian was too lazy to say.

After Bai Chen completed the map, everyone remembered the corresponding key points. Jiang Baimian pointed to the alley opposite the slave market on South Street and asked:

"When we met with the intelligence officers at night, we had to assign a group of people to secretly monitor and prevent accidents.

"Which position do you think is better?"

As the team's sniper, Bai Chen pointed at the South Street slave market and said:

"Here, on the roof on the left, you can completely control the opposite alley."

Jiang Baimian nodded:

"If, I mean, if there is really a problem with the company's intelligence officer, then the person behind him should also choose this point. We try not to run into them, and it is better to choose the second best point.

"Anyway, Shang Jianyao and I can adjust our positions to ensure your vision and trajectory."

After some discussion, the "Old Tune Team" finalized the roof on the right side of the slave market on South Street. At that time, Bai Chen and Long Yuehong will be in charge of this place, while Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao will go to see the company's intelligence personnel.

Winter nights always come early, darkness gradually shrouded the Weed City, and one after another, yellowish or pure white lights came on.

At 7:40, Jiang Baimian stood up, put on the hat that came with his clothes, and said to Shang Jianyao and others:

"action."
