Chapter 32

"Then we can hire four fewer adventurers. Without me, we still need at least three people. Adding up, it's twenty-five Silver Shields. This is still a friendship price given because everyone has lived in Squirrel's Tail," Suoluo said.

"Wait, didn't you say that after we killed the Goblin Chieftain and that mutant Goblin in advance, this task can be reduced by half? Then it should be three Silver Shields per person. Even if the reward paid to you is doubled, it is only fifteen Silver Shields."

"It's not calculated like this," Suoluo pointed to the location on the task with his index finger. "Baimu Cun, to be honest, I don't know where this place is at all. But according to the guild's assessment, starting from Yingjiao City, it takes at least five days to get there. One round trip is ten days."

"Plus clearing the Goblins, this trip will take at least half a month. During this time, we can't accept other tasks to make money. In addition, the food and accommodation expenses on the road must also be considered."

"Five silver coins per person is the minimum standard. Any lower and we will lose money," Suoluo said. "And relying on task tasks alone can barely achieve a balance of payments. How much you earn in the end depends on how many spoils are in the Goblin nest."

Mali then said, "What about six days."

"What six days?"

"What if the round trip only takes six days?"

The monster hunter touched the stubble on his chin. "Are you planning to hire a carriage to pick us up? But in that case, the expenses will only be greater. It's better to pay us directly."

Suoluo had an expression of not understanding what you were thinking, but the monster hunter was clearly very interested in the proposal of returning to Yingjiao City earlier, or more accurately, Squirrel's Tail.

Thinking about it, he said, "Uh, if you have to ask, you can still save a silver coin. Twenty silver coins at a flat price. I will form a team. Old rules, all spoils in the end belong to us."

In this way, plus the bag of money Mali just gave, Xia'er barely gathered the reward needed for this extermination task.

Afterward, she and Suoluo found the halfling Pawa'er, modified the task again, added a series of restrictive clauses, and adjusted the final quotation.

The monster hunter also pressed his handprint on the task.

"Do you have teammates? How do you plan to find the remaining three people?" The half-elf girl asked Suoluo.

"No, I prefer to be alone, and form a team when needed. And I don't intend to find those guys I know."

"Why?"

"Because they are all too powerful."

"Isn't it good to be powerful?"

Suoluo sighed, "Powerful means their asking price is very expensive. Your order doesn't make much money, and I can't afford them at all. And dealing with Goblins doesn't need so many powerful adventurers. With me, plus that old soldier in the village, it's enough. The remaining positions just find some obedient and cheap newcomers."

He was scanning the guild while talking, and soon his eyes fell on a pair of young adventurers, and he waved to the two, "You, that's right, it's you two, come over, I have a good job here."

The two heard the words and leaned over. They were a man and a woman, not old, looking only seventeen or eighteen years old. They should have just become adventurers not long ago, and their equipment was unexpectedly good.

The young man even wore plate armor, even if it was only half a set, which was rare among adventurers. The woman wore leather armor, braided her blonde hair into a wreath style, and hung a row of small knives on her waist. Her eyes carried a look of vigilance.

"What job?" The male adventurer asked.

Suoluo didn't answer his question, but asked back, "Are you... a couple?"

"Brother and sister."

"Oh, that's great. The last thing I want is for a couple to appear in my team. The relationship between them is like a tornado, blind, fickle, and barbaric, which will destroy everything around them."

The female adventurer was clearly not interested in the monster hunter's tornado theory. "Sorry, you said you have work for us here."

"An extermination task, the danger is not great, the target is just a group of green-skinned thieves," Suoluo said.

"Green-skinned thieves?"

"Commonly known as Goblins."

"Oh, I knew it early on," the male adventurer said hurriedly, giving his sister a look, and then turned to look at Suoluo. "How much is the reward?"

"Four Silver Shields each."

"Four Silver Shields, per day?"

"Total, of course, there is also the treasure in the Goblin nest, if there is any."

"That's too little," the female adventurer was dissatisfied, pulling her brother to leave.

The monster hunter opened his mouth again, "I saw you just now with the Newbie Killer Kaien. How much did he offer you?"

"Newbie Killer?" The male adventurer stopped.

"You don't know? Kaien's team likes to recruit rookies, especially those rookies with bright clothes and good equipment. And those poor guys mostly didn't survive the adventure. Then after a while, you can see their weapons and equipment at some small stall."

The brother and sister looked at each other again, and then the sister spoke.

"How do we know you are not that kind of person?"

"If I also relied on this means to make a fortune, I wouldn't only offer you such a little reward. I only took eight Silver Shields myself. Besides, even if you don't trust me, you should trust him."

Suoluo pointed to Mali.

"Who is he?"

"An alchemist, have you seen the brooch he wears on his chest."

The monster hunter sighed, "Of course I also hope to earn more, but in the final analysis, it's just a group of damn Goblins. If you are pointing at this order to make a fortune, then this job is indeed not suitable for you. Maybe I should find someone else."

"We took it!" The male adventurer saw him say this, and was a bit anxious. He didn't even look at the task and agreed.

"Very good, welcome to the team." Suoluo shook hands with the two, "Our team has one position left, and I have

His gaze leaped over the shoulders of the brother and sister, landing on a figure draped in a cloak.

The moment that person stepped into the entrance of the Adventurer Association, a burst of jeering laughter erupted all around.

"Yo, isn't this the Dung-Eater? Are you here looking for work too?"

"Give it up, no party is willing to take you."

"That's right, just roll back to your southern hometown! You dirty, disgusting son of a bitch!"

That figure did not speak, merely walking toward the quest board with head bowed, while the crowd scattered wherever he passed, looking as if they couldn't avoid him fast enough.

It was as if there were something filthy on his body.
