Chapter 139 3 tasks
The morning light is dim, the sky is still dreaming, and many people on the streets have started their busy day.
Arriving at the gate of Qilianguan, an even more spectacular sight came into view - a long winding dragon stretched out quietly, which was a group of people preparing to go out to complete their mission.
Due to the special nature of Qilianguan, most people who come here are here to fight monsters on the battlefield or to gain experience, so there are many people entering and leaving the city gate every day.
To go out, you need to apply for a mission from the border guards in advance, or form a team freely. Generally speaking, the missions issued by the border guards are more popular, not only because of the generous rewards, but more importantly, the merit points that can be obtained after completing the mission - this is real hard currency, which can be exchanged for many rare good things on the market through the secret channels of the border guards.
"Yunzhou, this way!" At the foot of the city wall, several figures were waiting early. Among them, Jiang Liunian was waving at him enthusiastically. The familiar face looked particularly kind in the sunlight.
"Sorry, sorry, I kept you waiting for so long." Gu Yunzhou walked forward quickly with a smile on his face, and his words were cheerful and apologetic.
"It's still a while before the time we agreed on, and Brother Wu hasn't arrived yet!" Jiang Liunian was dressed in a neat suit today, and he looked very heroic.
"This is the task I accepted yesterday. Yunzhou, you can take a look at it. I will explain it to you when Wu Ziyu comes over later!" Shan Ze handed over a simple book-like thing.
Gu Yunzhou took it, opened it, and slowly unfolded it. He saw that the latest mission of the Ground-level Team No. 258 was clearly recorded on it: First, they needed to collect a total of 100 Lost Flowers within ten days. Those who completed the task would receive 50 merit points or an equivalent reward.
2: Scout the movements of the demon vanguard. Note that this mission is dangerous, so proceed with caution! Mission completion rewards will be awarded in the form of merit points or items of equal value based on your intelligence score.
3: Recently, Confucian scholars who were on missions at the border have frequently had their vital energy sucked out. We highly suspect that this was done by the demons. Please find out the truth and complete the task within 30 days. After completing the task, you will be rewarded with merit points or items of equal value based on the actual situation!
Gu Yunzhou finished reading it quickly. There were not many tasks, only three, but each one looked difficult.
Gu Yunzhou had also carefully studied the Yaoman tribe, which lurked deep within their mysterious Yaowu Forest. This flower was incredibly unique, revealing its true form only during periods of heavy fog. Normally, it lay buried deep in the earth, seemingly cut off from the world, only to emerge and bloom when the fog surged.
This flower is of extraordinary value, essential for refining the "Dumi Pill." This "Dumi Pill" is the panacea sought by Confucian scholars trapped in the mysteries of the Wen Palace, capable of dispelling the fog and allowing them to see the light of day. Unfortunately, the raw material, the "Misi Flower," is so rare and precious that the price of the "Dumi Pill" remains prohibitively high.
As for the second mission, it is obvious that it will not be easy. The vanguard of the Yaoman tribe, if ordinary people encounter it head-on, they will be skinned alive if not killed. However, Shan Ze and his friends are skilled and brave, so they dare to accept such a mission.
As for the third task, Gu Yunzhou muttered to himself, it was most likely a fox spirit behind the operation. In his past life, he'd been thoroughly familiar with the tales from Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio, and he knew that who else could absorb a person's essence but a fox spirit? He was quite curious about this, secretly wondering what a fox spirit looked like, and whether it was truly as stunningly beautiful and captivating as depicted on screen.
"Wow, you all come really early. Have you had breakfast?" At this time, Wu Ziyu's voice sounded at the right time, and he walked in slowly, surrounded by several pretty young ladies, as if he was late and like the moon surrounded by stars.
"Okay, you're the only one missing. Say goodbye to your group of close female friends, it's time for us to set off!" Shan Ze's lips curled up into a smile that he had long expected. His face was as calm as water, without even a ripple. He just waved his hand gently, signaling Wu Ziyu to quickly get rid of the group of reluctant young ladies around him, so that the team could be ready to go.
"Tsk tsk, captain, you really lack a bit of romance. No wonder you have such a handsome face and a distinguished family background, but there is no discerning young lady who invites you to enjoy the stars and the moonlight together. It's such a waste of talent!" Wu Ziyu raised a sly smile at the corner of his mouth, and gently stroked his chin with his fingers. The teasing in his eyes made Shan Ze's face gradually become as gloomy as water.
"Are you itching for trouble?" Shan Ze said this with gritted teeth.
"Haha, it was just a joke. Yingying, Tangtang, Huanhuan, just send the rest of you here. Today, I, Wu Ziyu, will leave the city to hunt down those monsters. As men of the human race, we should hold our heads high, stand between heaven and earth, swords unsheathed, clothes stained with blood. Within ten steps, we will take the enemy's head, and even after a thousand miles of marching, we will leave no trace. We swear to kill those monsters without a single piece of armor left, so that they will be terrified and never dare to covet an inch of our human land again!"
After saying this, Wu Ziyu put away the smile on his face, gently placed one hand on the scabbard at his waist, and gazed firmly into the vast distance outside the city with a sharp gaze. His already handsome face now took on a touch of the free and unrestrained air of a knight.
"Wow, Brother Wu is so handsome! You must take care of yourself when you go out. Those demons are very cunning, don't let them fool you!"
"Zi Yu, I'll be waiting for you at Qilianguan. You must come back intact. Look, the painting I drew yesterday still has space left, waiting for you to write an inscription. Can you write the inscription on it when you come back?"
"Ayu, I want to go too. I'm also a sixth-rank scholar. I can protect myself and will never be a burden to you!"
Several beautiful girls tightly surrounded Wu Ziyu, their sweet voices intertwined into one, their eyes filled with reluctance and attachment. Gu Yunzhou, watching from the side, was dumbfounded, thinking to himself: This is simply the ancient version of "Love Saint"! What's even more amazing is that these women can get along so harmoniously, without any grudges. He couldn't help but look at Wu Ziyu a little more, secretly admiring: This boy is really a hidden talent, it turns out he is a master at balancing emotions.
"Okay, you all made an agreement with me yesterday not to let your romantic feelings interfere with my work. When I return from my mission, we will continue our relationship." Wu Ziyu looked up at the morning light gradually turning white in the sky, his tone full of unquestionable determination. He started to drive people away, and then, under the reluctant gazes of several girls, he returned to his team with a playful smile.
