Chapter 2657: Affectionate and Righteous · Adeli

The next morning, the noisy peddling outside the window woke Su Xiao from his sleep. He sat up a bit blankly. Sunlight shone in through the gap in the curtains, and the dust particles in this beam of sunlight became particularly obvious.

"Xiang Bubu, what time is it."

"Woof."

Hearing Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang say it was already 7:00 AM, Su Xiao washed up and went downstairs. As soon as he walked into the Shelter from the inner door, he saw Baha and Amu eating breakfast.

After Su Xiao sat down, he picked up a food that looked like a sandwich bread. The taste was quite good, and the sweet and sour taste was conducive to appetizing.

"The old hunter's identity plate was sent back?"

"Identity plate? No, I guarded it all night, didn't even see a ghost shadow, kept listening to this woman talking in her sleep, I almost became a straight man."

Baha pointed to the cylindrical glass bottle on the table with its wings. Sure enough, a very low dream language was coming from inside.

"After breakfast, you three go to the ancient castle outside the city. Hunters are very cautious, it should be someone stirring up trouble."

"Woof."

"Understood."

"Moo."

After finishing breakfast, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, Amu, and Baha set off. Just as they walked to the door.

Ding-a-ling~

The door was pushed open, and a man with a big back head and a gray suit pushed the door and entered. His strong figure seemed to burst the suit on his body. That feeling was like, as long as he made a bodybuilding pose, the suit on his body would shatter into pieces with a click.

Behind this man, there were several men and women. Not long after, more than twenty people were standing or sitting in the Shelter. Seeing this, Amu and Baha didn't rush to leave. In case they really fought, Amu was responsible for blocking the door, and Baha was responsible for assassination perception.

Baha flew to Su Xiao's side and landed on the armrest of the seat.

"Kuku Lin, hello! I am Adeli."

The man who called himself Adeli had a warm smile on his face. The leader of the Holy Temple adventure team arrived. Across the wooden table, he stretched out his big hand.

"Adeli?"

Baha muttered the name in its mouth. It knew the Adeli penguin. This kind of penguin brought the four words "affectionate and righteous" to the extreme.

Adeli penguins had a habit. Before going to sea to catch fish, they would gather at the edge of the ice on the shore, observing whether there were seals in the seawater below, so as not to become a delicious meal for seals after going into the water.

But with the small eyes of Adeli penguins, they clearly couldn't judge whether there were seals in the seawater, so they would use the "recommendation" method to randomly kick a companion into the sea, and then other Adeli penguins would stare at the unlucky ghost who fell into the water.

If this unlucky ghost was eaten by the seal lurking in the water, the other Adeli penguins on the shore would scatter. If the unlucky ghost was not eaten, then other Adeli penguins would go into the water, which could be called "affectionate and righteous."

And at this time, the leader of the Holy Temple adventure team · Adeli was overflowing with a warm smile, preparing to shake hands with Su Xiao to express friendliness.

"Mr. Kuku Lin, hello!"

Adeli shook his raised hand while speaking. Seeing this, Su Xiao shook hands with this stubborn guy.

"Human hearts are complex, the ice is slippery. To tell you the truth, Mr. Kuku Lin, I couldn't mix in the Watcher Guild, so I ran to Sodo City."

"Leader! Don't tell the truth."

A milk mother behind couldn't help but speak, and other team members had an expression of being used to it long ago. In the mission world, they were not afraid of strong enemies, only afraid of old schemers.

"Fart, of course you have to be honest when making friends."

Adeli puffed out his chest, and the gray suit on his body made a faint "wail," which seemed to be about to break.

"Cough, since we are friends..." Adeli could be said to be making friends out of nothing, and continued to say with a full face of smile: "If there are commissions, you must consider us first."

Seeing Adeli's words and deeds, Baha couldn't recover for a while. It felt that such Qiyuezhe, if they were in Reincarnation Paradise, would die suddenly in the first tier.

Adeli looked like a silly person, but this was his unique negotiation method.

"There are

As Su Xiao spoke, he opened the hidden compartment in the wooden table. Before he could even take out the thirty-plus file bags inside, Adley, sitting across from him, made his stance clear.

"That's great, we have no problem with that."

"Leader, stay calm."

The healer in the back already felt a sense of powerlessness; heaven knows why she joined the Sanctuary Adventure Team in the first place.

"No matter, we came here to share the burden for the Watcher Guild, didn't we?"

Just after saying this, Adley's hearty laughter came to an abrupt halt because his team information prompt indicated that his team had received a total of 31 side quests.

Adley seemed a bit dazed; he clearly couldn't fathom why there would be so many commissions for just a single shelter.

In reality, the previous manager of this shelter had been dead for some time, and there were many supernatural events in Sodo City waiting to be handled.

Adley calculated rapidly in his mind: assuming they split into five-person squads, their 165 people would make 33 squads. If each squad took one commission, they would still have 10 people free—very stable.

Thinking of this, the smile on Adley's face gradually regained confidence. Since they were taking them all anyway, he prepared to show off to highlight his team's strength, thereby facilitating subsequent negotiations.

"There are indeed many commissions, but that's no problem."

Just as Adley finished speaking, a team prompt appeared again.

【Prompt: The team has activated 153 side quests. Accept all? Yes/No.】

Seeing this prompt, Adley couldn't smile at all. He finally understood why the Dark Prison world was so special; these side quests were practically being given away for free.

Seeing Su Xiao start to take out more official documents, Adley's heart twitched, but he kept his expression unchanged and said:

"Considering this is our first collaboration, I'll handle the 31 commissions from just now first."

"……"

"Supernatural events, time is life. See you next time."

Adley adjusted his collar and walked out at a brisk pace. Before long, all the Qiyuezhe in the shelter had left.

"Boss, are these guys reliable? They won't go off to mine for ore after getting frustrated, will they?"

"Probably not."

"I'm going to check the old castle with Xiang Bubu and Amu. I always feel like there's a familiar scent there."

Baja landed on Amu's shoulder, and they left together.

【Prompt: The Morey team has completed the side quest 'Red Banshee'. You have gained 7 points of World Reputation (Quest difficulty x10% + Quest reward increase 15% - Quest time consumption).】

The Morey team's efficiency was quite good. After seeing this prompt, Su Xiao realized that the previously mentioned '15% quest reward increase' was referring to this.

Just as Su Xiao finished checking the quest prompt, a team email appeared; it was sent by Benny.

After checking the email, Su Xiao was very surprised because Benny had actually entered the Dark Prison. Frequently treasure hunting alone had significantly improved Benny in all aspects. Entering this world not long ago and already reaching the Dark Prison was good news.

The email was sent at 10 PM last night and Su Xiao received it around 8 AM this morning. This indicated one thing: the integration between the Dark Prison and this world was already very high, which was why the team email transmitted so quickly; in the past, it took a day or several days to arrive.

The content Benny sent wasn't much. First was the method to enter the Dark Prison: one must find a place where a Dark Prison rift had once opened. Within 10 hours of the rift disappearing, one must engrave a hexagonal formation there and use a living Dark Demon as a medium to reopen the rift and enter the Dark Prison.

Besides this intelligence, Benny also sent two photos. The first was of a dim, dark sky with a vortex slowly rotating.

The second photo was of the ground. On the withered, reddish-yellow earth, a large pile of hunter badges lay scattered. These badges were covered in rust, as if corroded by something, with some even rusted through.

These were the conditions inside the Dark Prison. Compared to these photos, Su Xiao was more interested in knowing to what extent the Dark Prison had integrated with this world. He urgently needed the 【Exemption Badge】 from the main quest reward because he felt his 0.2—no, 0.1—Charm attribute couldn't hold on much longer. When he woke up this morning, his Charm attribute was already in this state.

Tap, tap, tap~

Footsteps came from outside the door. Hearing them, Su Xiao took out Zhan Long Shan and placed the unsheathed blade in front of him.

Ding-ling~

The door was pushed open. With wild red hair, a strong but not clumsy physique, and sharp claws that could easily leave scratches on wine bottles, Hao Gui walked into the shelter in a grand manner, carrying two large bottles of wine.

"Old friend, I've come to see you, and by the way, to apologize for fleeing without a fight last time."
