Embers Ad Infinitum

Chapter 836: Intelligence traffickers?

Views:

Long Yuehong read the mission description several times and whispered:

"This task seems difficult to accomplish.

"Can we really make money off of it?"

The thing was lost three years ago, and the floating population of Gustburg is not much, but there is not much. It is possible that the clues are completely cut off, and the probability is not low.

Not to mention, it has been two months since the quest was issued, and the remains hunters have not found any useful clues yet, they just did a preliminary investigation, and reported the results of the corresponding personnel's oral and on-site investigations as harvests.

Therefore, although the fifty Great Knight Gold Coins are eye-catching, as far as the matter itself is concerned, it may be just a mirror image, which can be seen but never touched.

The idea of trying to make a fortune is closer to the life plan of trying to make a fortune from the lottery in the old world entertainment sources.

"For others, this is really hopeless, but for us, maybe when we go out, we are directly tripped by clues." Jiang Baimian raised his eyebrows.

"Yes, yes." Shang Jianyao immediately agreed.

"Uh..." Long Yuehong didn't know for a while whether the team leader was joking about him.

Jiang Baimian did not tighten his face any longer, and smiled:

"Okay, just kidding."

She said it was a joke, but in fact she did not rule out the possibility just now. After all, behind her and others, some existences were looming. If the matter of the Bodhi statue is really important and involves the battle of the "new world", then the clue is Taking the initiative to invest in the embrace of the "old tune group" is a development.

Jiang Baimian continued to say to Long Yuehong:

"As you can see, you don't need to actually find the Bodhi statue, you can also get a certain bounty by providing real clues that are different from the previous ones.

"Besides, the guild does not only have such a task. Since we are here, let's look for it carefully to see if there is any commission that is suitable for us and the bounty is not low.

"Well, it really doesn't work. Send a telegram to the company and ask if there are any expatriate intelligence personnel in Gerstburg, if they can provide us with some activity funds."

This time, the "Old Tune Team" will also investigate the matter of keeping humans in captivity, and if it is not necessary, they don't want to contact the company too much.

"Hmm." Long Yuehong agreed with this statement and focused on the scrolling task information on the big screen.

These entrustments include temporary employment from factories, search for bodyguards by so-and-so, purchase of some ice creature furs, people to go to the surrounding city ruins to find technical information of a certain type of special steel, and the need for transshipment of bulk goods. There are biological experiments to recruit volunteers...

In addition to local tasks, the Hunter Guild of Gustburg also has specific commissions from other medium and large human settlements of other forces, which are mainly to hunt down certain targets. For example, the Hunter Guild offers a reward to a dark hunter, such as, In the beginning, the "Hand of Order" offered a reward to Xue Yueyi, Zhang Qubing, Gu Zhiyong, and Qian Bai.

Shang Jian Yao was impressed:

"If it weren't for the fact that this place is very far from the 'First City', the bounty won't arrive for a long time, maybe I have to go to the First City by myself, I really want to surrender.

"That way we don't have a financial crisis!"

Long Yuehong was startled, looked around quickly, and found that no one was paying attention.

Of course, this is mainly because Shang Jianyao's voice is very low.

Bai Chen took back his gaze and changed the subject:

"There are no tasks that can be taken over for the time being. Those that are suitable for us are required to start today, and we have to wait until the high-performance batteries are fully charged."

Jiang Baimian said "um":

"Then go to apply for the information on the task of the Bodhi statue, and go back and study it carefully."

The corresponding information consists of two parts, one is the information provided by the task issuer, and the other is the various oral narratives and various survey results retrieved by the previous relic hunters.

"It can only be this way." Long Yuehong rushed to express his position before Shang Jian Yao.

He didn't want to stay long in the Hunter Guild at all.

Although Shang Jianyao was a little disappointed, the minority still obeyed the majority.

After getting the paper materials and paying the printing fee, the four members of the "Old Tune Group" left the Gustburg Hunter Guild and returned to the "Fire and Iron" hotel the same way.

It is now working time, and there are not many pedestrians on the road, mainly relic hunters. From time to time, a team of "White Knights" soldiers with alloy breastplates, bulletproof helmets, submachine guns, and assault rifles patrol passing by.

These soldiers were also divided into three, six, and nine ranks. The most eye-catching team all rode high-headed horses and was very majestic.

Shang Jianyao's eyes were filled with envy.

There was nothing to do along the way, Long Yuehong took the lead into the hotel lobby.

The man at the front desk named Spant looked up at them and said casually:

"Coming back so soon?"

"Do you know where we went?" Shang Jianyao stepped up and asked in "surprise".

The blonde and blue-eyed Spant shrugged:

"Isn't it the Hunter Guild?"

"Are you following us?" Seeing Yao Qiqing, Shang was both "anxious" and "angry".

Spant curled the corners of his mouth and explained:

"No need for tracking. Isn't it obvious

"You have a robot, and your strength is not weak at first glance. Obviously, you didn't come to us as a worker, and it's not summer yet, so it's not suitable to go to the ice field. You can only go to the Hunter Guild to find something to do. Explore the city ruins in the south, hehe, you have only been here for a day, and you probably don’t know enough about the surrounding area.”

In other words, there is only one possibility left to go to the Hunter Guild.

Papapa, Shang Jianyao applauded Spant.

He did not forcefully refute, but praised with a smile:

"Your logical ability is not bad."

"So I'm still hesitating whether to strengthen my brain." Spant once again showed an embarrassed expression, "It's already above the standard, and the basic model's potions are limited."

Shang Jianyao skipped this topic and instead asked:

"Didn't you say last night that you were going to the Hunter Guild to pick up the quest, did you find it?"

Spant hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said:

"Have."

He paused and said:

"You didn't find the mission, so you came back so soon?"

"There is no suitable task." Shang Jianyao emphasized.

Spant nodded, didn't ask any more questions, and was busy with other things.

Seeing that he didn't talk about the mission in depth, Jiang Baimian changed the subject with a smile:

"In your place, if you want to get information, besides going to the Hunter Guild, who else can you find?"

Although the waiter at the "Old Henry" restaurant had already mentioned one, the "Old Tune Group" certainly didn't want to be hanged from a tree.

Spant was stunned for a moment, then laughed.

"Haha!" Shang Jianyao followed with a smile.

"You, what are you laughing at?" Spant looked blank.

Shang Jianyao explained seriously:

"You laughed. If I didn't smile, wouldn't it make me seem rude?"

Spant was obviously choked, and only said after a few seconds:

"I'm laughing because the person you're looking for is my colleague Gitis."

"Gitis?" In Long Yuehong's mind, the female receptionist with honey-colored hair, gray-blue eyes and dozing off appeared.

In addition to the fact that her facial features are relatively hard, she really can't tell that she is an intelligence dealer.

Spante grumbled:

"Actually, I don't really believe it, but I have already bought several pieces of valuable information from her.

"Don't look at her usually lack of concentration, love to be late, inattentive, like to be in a daze, just like living in her own world, but she seems to have a lot of secret intelligence channels and know a lot of things that no one knows about."

"Unbelievable!" Shang Jian Yao exaggeratedly expressed his feelings.

"I can't tell." Jiang Baimian was also a little surprised.

In particular, Spant also added a bunch of adjectives that like to be in a daze and lack concentration.

Spant spread his hands:

"But the facts are in front of us.

"I can only tell myself that she likes to be late because she is busy with intelligence, and she likes to be in a daze, inattentive, and inattentive because she needs to think and analyze."

"Then why did she come to the front desk part-time?" Long Yuehong couldn't help asking.

Spant said:

"I asked and she didn't answer."

Jiang Baimian nodded:

"We'll find her when we need it."

Saying goodbye to Spant and returning to the room, the four carbon-based Gagnavas from the "Old Tune Team" studied the information on the mission of the Bodhi statue.

As Jiang Baimian said before, there is not much valuable information. One is that in the past three years, I don’t know how many people have left Gustburg, taking away useful clues. He was an ascetic. When he arrived in Gustburg, he didn't stay in the store or restaurant. He didn't have much contact with the residents here. If he had to make alms to support his life, maybe no one would have an impression of such a monk.

The only valuable information is that the monk's death was due to illness.

dong dong dong!

While the "Old Tune Group" was looking through the materials, there was a knock on their door.

Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao had a feeling in advance, but they didn't expect to come to find themselves and others.

Genova got up and opened the door, and saw Spant outside.

"What's the matter?" Jiang Baimian walked over, slightly surprised.

Spant glanced at Genova and said with a smile:

"That's right, I took on a high-paying mission last night, which cannot be accomplished purely by one person's strength.

"I had mates, but something happened to them and they couldn't help me.

"I think your strength should be pretty good, do you want to join forces? Don't worry, you can go to the guild to register and request to supervise the distribution of the bounty.

"Well, do you have the badge of an official hunter? You need to verify it at that time."
