The clerk wearing the tiger mask didn't speak much and spoke very fast. He seemed to want to finish the introduction in the shortest time, so as not to be remembered for the characteristics of his voice.
"When the task is confirmed, will you bring the badge to pick it up?" Jiang Baimian asked with a smile.
She was already quite impressed with the customs of the redstone set, and was not annoyed by being neglected.
"Yes." The clerk wearing a tiger mask nodded heavily.
Just as Jiang Baimian and the others took a few steps back and looked at the big screen, Gaudi, who was wearing a cloth mask, asked:
"Can I go?"
"Yes." Jiang Baimian responded in a relaxed tone.
Gaudi thought for a while and emphasized a few words:
"After you leave the redstone set, you can't tell anyone the location of the underground entrance, you can only give an approximate range.
"Everyone who can enter here must have found a town resident of Hongshiji in the ruins outside, and he will lead the way."
Shang Jianyao asked curiously:
"What if no one led the way and found this place again?"
"The guards will stop you, interrogate you from where you know the location of the underground entrance, and then blacklist the people and forces that leaked the information to you." Gaudi seems to have said this many times, and he doesn't give a damn Ba, "If it's really just good luck, I'll let you go back on your own and find a townsman from Redstone Set."
"It's really a sense of ceremony." Shang Jianyao praised.
Jiang Baimian agrees with this, because she does not see that this kind of behavior can reduce the danger from outside.
This is closer to a religious ceremony.
At this point, she also understood why Shang Jianyao's life and death brother, Fei Lin, the leader of the "Sangzi" business group, would not give specific location information.
For Shang Jianyao's admiration, Gaudi nodded proudly and said:
"This can please the old 'Yougu'."
He admitted that it was a ritual.
At this time, Shang Jianyao suddenly asked a question:
"If every townsman has Viel's hiding level, and outsiders can't find it, wouldn't your redstone set be without new hunters and smugglers arriving
"In this way, the vitality of the redstone set will gradually weaken and eventually be abandoned."
I remember the name quite clearly... I suspect that you want to play hide-and-seek with that Vierbi... Jiang Baimian couldn't help but slandered a few words.
Gaudà was silent for a few seconds, as if he had not thought about this issue at all.
After a while, he said:
"Not everyone is at Viel's level.
"And, moreover, if everyone forgets the redstone set, that means we're hiding well, and we'll be rewarded by the 'Yougu'.
"We have opened up farmland in the surrounding shelters, and there are a lot of fish in the lake. A moment of forgetfulness will not make us starve to death."
Jiang Baimian laughed:
"But you won't be replenished with oil and other industrial products, do you want to go back to the farming days of the old world
"People who have enjoyed the afterglow of civilization cannot adapt."
"After that, 'Yougu' will lead us into a new world, where there is no longer any danger, so we don't need to be so vigilant." Gaudi responded very firmly.
Jiang Baimian couldn't persuade Gaudi, and he didn't want to persuade, so he waved his hand and said:
"You can leave now."
"Thank you." Gaudi, wearing a cloth mask, looked at them and quit the Hunter Guild step by step.
When the distance between the two sides became large enough, he turned around suddenly and ran into the safe passage on the side.
"What are your thoughts?" Jiang Baimian asked, withdrawing his gaze.
Shang Jianyao immediately said:
"Too rigid.
"I only care about my head and my glutes, I just want to guard against us, and I don't think about whether there is any danger behind me.
"If I knew earlier, I would throw a banana peel behind him, and he would definitely step on it and fall down with a stab. I will remember this lesson from now on."
Jiang Baimian laughed dumbly:
"First, you have to have a banana."
This season, with the climate of the Nu Lake area, it is impossible for this fruit to exist.
She didn't attack Shang Jianyao because of this, but nodded in approval:
"Although Gaudà has probably observed the environment and is not worried that walking backwards will step on things that should not be stepped on, this direction of thinking is quite valuable."
Saying that, she looked at Long Yuehong:
"Do you have any idea?"
Long Yuehong thoughtfully answered:
"Their ideas sound reasonable at first glance, but the more they understand, the more extreme they feel."
"Any good thing will develop in a bad direction once it is polarized." Jiang Baimian nodded, "This is one of the reasons why many religions can be spread on the dust. They put some very reasonable things in the old world. The packaging has become what I want, and a lot of private goods have been added."
After commenting on Long Yuehong's thoughts, Jiang Baimian looked at Bai Chen again and said with a smile:
"Tell me too."
"I think their philosophies are a bit similar to some of the old world philosophies you told us about, um... a small country with few people?" Bai Chen said thoughtfully.
After the running-in of Wild Grass City, on the way to the Red Stone Collection, the three members of the "Old Tune Group" were more open than before. Jiang Baimian took the opportunity to tell the team members some knowledge of the old world.
"Indeed, but it's also extreme." Jiang Baimian smiled and looked around, "Remember, individual human beings are very small, and they cooperate with each other and combine to be called civilization."
Papapa, Shang Jianyao's applause came as scheduled.
Jiang Baimian didn't even bother to look at him:
"Okay, look for something worth taking on."
She knew very well that unless Shang Jianyao was asked to make "friends", half of the supplies they exchanged for Xu Liyan's bulletproof off-road would not be able to buy a military exoskeleton device, even if it was an old model.
Therefore, her plan is to join the guild quests in the redstone set and collect another batch of hard currency.
As the team leader, in order to improve the strength and survivability of each team member, she racked her brains.
As a result, the "Old Tune Group" was divided into two waves:
Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao stayed where they were, watching the scrolling tasks displayed on the big screen. Bai Chen and Long Yuehong went to the surrounding tables to check the corresponding paper records.
"Actually, we can definitely ask your good brother Xu Liyan to support one. Didn't he say that after this incident, he would equip his guards and city defense troops with a few more?" Jiang Baimian said deliberately.
This time, the military exoskeleton device was trapped in South Street and was almost useless.
The only good thing is that those wilderness wanderers won't use it.
Shang Jianyao shook his head:
"Brothers will settle accounts."
"I can rest assured." Jiang Baimian smiled.
"Although I'm harder-hearted than you, my moral bottom line is not low." Shang Jianyao replied.
"Ah? What did you say?" Jiang Baimian touched his ear, not wanting to continue the topic.
She knew that Shang Jianyao was referring to the riots in Weed City, but she failed to make up her mind quickly to kill the man who killed the owner of the "time-honored noodle restaurant" in order not to starve to death.
Shang Jianyao glanced at Jiang Baimian's left arm and stopped at the right time.
While speaking, Jiang Baimian discovered a very interesting task:
"There is no investigation of the incidence of heart disease in Hongshiji and surrounding areas."
"The reward is: be responsible for the basic security during the mission, and then give you enough food for half a month. You can choose the type of food you want, and keep it at your own risk. Haha, this is not rigorous. If you encounter food like you, the cost may be doubled. !" Jiang Baimian said with a smile while reading the content of the mission.
Shang Jianyao responded seriously:
"I'm just worried that he won't be able to get the food I choose."
"Let me see who released it... 'Fire Eye'? Are all the tasks released under the code name?" Jiang Baimian has a further understanding of the style of the Red Stone Collection.
Of course, this must have been reviewed by the guild, and the credibility is still guaranteed.
At this moment, Long Yuehong took a record and walked back with Bai Chen.
"Team leader, this task is not bad." He handed Jiang Baimian the paper in his hand.
Jiang Baimian took it with a little curiosity, and browsed it quickly:
"Mission: Help Herwig to retrieve the looted ammunition.
"Description: The owner of 'Gunfire', Herwig, had a batch of ammunition that could arm hundreds of people, and was snatched from the lakeside area. It is said that there were nearly ten robbers.
"Remuneration: one-fifth of that ammunition.
"Task level: C, 100 credit points.
"Hint: There is a certain danger, please try to form a team.
"Task personnel requirements: Officially above hunter.
"Posted by: Herwig."
"One-fifth of that batch of arms? This is not a small amount." Jiang Baimian's eyes brightened slightly.
"And the number of people is quite appropriate." Long Yuehong added happily.
He felt that with the strength of his group, it would not be a problem to play three or even four.
Shang Jianyao immediately "analyzed" and said:
"Maybe there were a hundred people in ambush around during the robbery."
Long Yuehong was no longer the same as before, her face instantly became depressed, and he asked in a funny way:
"How can there be a hundred people in ambush, and only seven or eight people do it?"
It must be at least forty or fifty to be normal, in line with the normal logic of human beings!
"What if their leader is mentally ill like me?" Shang Jianyao was righteous.
Jiang Baimian interrupted him and said thoughtfully:
"There is a saying in the old world to describe this kind of situation, what is it called, uh, one core is difficult, eight cores are watching.
"Besides, there are not too many people escorting the arms. Those robbers are either very powerful, or there must be more than seven or eight."
Without waiting for Long Yuehong to say more, she smiled and said:
"But, you can also take over. It's not that you don't do reconnaissance. If there are too many people on the opposite side, we can invite other teams of relic hunters to participate."
She was not worried about not being able to pick up, because Bai Chen was an "intermediate hunter".
After some exchanges, they took over the task in the name of "Qianbai Squad", got the photos of Herwig, and knew the location of his shop - the third floor of the underground building, close to the C1 safe passage.
There is no doubt that the shop "Gun Fire" has no guns and no people.
"It seems that we have to find the quest publisher first." Jiang Baimian reluctantly raised his right hand and glanced at the photo.
It was a chubby man, between thirty and forty, with dark green eyes and a shaved head.
"There is no one here." Shang Jianyao immediately came to a conclusion.
Jiang Baimian glanced at him and smiled slightly:
"Then why are you staying here and not looking for it?"
"It must be handled according to the process, and it cannot be completely dependent on ability." Shang Jianyao answered in a clear-cut way.
"Not bad." Jiang Baimian said sincerely.
While talking, Bai Chen and Long Yuehong had already dispersed, one looked up at the ventilation duct, and the other carefully opened the cabinet.
"There's something wrong there." After a few seconds, Bai Chen pointed to the top.
At the exit fence of the ventilation duct, a little black clothing was squeezed out.
Jiang Baimian's expression suddenly became solemn.
Since Shang Jianyao did not sense human consciousness, nor did she detect human electrical signals, it means one thing:
The man hiding in the ventilation duct is dead.
Been dead for a while.
