Chapter 146 Publishing tasks
The reward list given by Gu Cheng to Mark and Seer is a task called "Sweeping the Gnoves", which is released by a small village located in the barren land. Usually, this kind of clearance mission is very popular because mercenaries/players can not only obtain money, experience and other resources by killing prey, but also receive rewards from the publisher. Therefore, the clearance mission is usually in short supply.
but--
Except for the task of "clearing away the zombies".
Because this task is a difficult and complicated problem, the village that issued the task is located in the poorest and most desolate barren canyon in the southern barren land. This small village called the Thorn Village has a total population of only more than 200 people. They are almost isolated from the world and never send people out of the village to communicate with people outside. In fact, it is because they really have nothing to be used for exchange outside. All their things are self-sufficient, food, use, and wear without exception.
A long time ago, they thought of leaving this barren land and moving to a few prosperous cities in the Durotan Principality, or entering the hymn Forest to find a fertile land there. But they had to face two fatal problems: one is that the elderly, weak, women and children cannot withstand the torture at all, and the Long March is thousands of miles away, and it is still a wasteland and desert, which is too difficult for them. Second, the southern barren land is almost the world of zombies. Although the strength of these monsters is not very good, even a farmer can compete with them, the most troublesome thing about them is that their reproductive ability is extremely high.
There was once a 3-level mercenary group with good strength to take on the task of a South Barren Land and wiped out a werewolf village not far from the Barren Canyon. At that time, only a few of them killed the village of four or five hundred werewolf escaped. Unexpectedly, after several months, the team passed by here again, and the werewolf developed into a scale of four or five hundred. There were rumors before that if it weren't for the existence of wild boar people who feed on the werewolf, the South Barren Land would have long been the world of the werewolf. Therefore, few mercenaries were willing to face these monsters comparable to ants.
What's more, Thorn Village is poor and has no money to pay for it. It is more rewarding for some local specialties and wasteland melons. Of course, as long as you can swallow food that is several times worse than tree roots, even if you pull a few carts of these things back, the villagers of Thorn Village are still very happy, because Thorn Village can be said to be the friendliest village in the entire barren land.
Therefore, only players who do other tasks will take on this task. As for the NPC mercenary group, they will not consider this task at all. No one is willing to do it.
To wipe out the werewolf?
For Mark and Sele, they can face dozens of gnolls alone. But the problem is that they have to face not dozens of werewolves, but hundreds, or even thousands, which is not a task that one or two people can solve!
Gu Cheng saw their doubts and explained: "First of all, this task is rare and worth 30 points. For ordinary mercenaries, they will feel that the reward is too low, so it is better to take on other tasks. But for our caravan, economic issues are not as important as points. Moreover, below the Southern Barren Land is the largest Storm City in the Principality of Durotan. We can take some orders to Storm City along the way. In this way, we can not only complete the zigwolf's clearance mission, but also complete the number-to-counter orders. This trip can at least earn hundreds of points. Secondly, this is also the only task we can detach and ensure that we can complete within 1-2 months. Other tasks are either insufficient staff or less reward points. What do you think?"
Mark felt that Gu Cheng’s analysis made sense. For Oath, the first problem that he had to face at the moment was points. Only by solving the points problem and maintaining the qualification of a Level 2 caravan can we talk about the future development.
However, Mark thought of another key question: "But commander, you have not only taken over the task of clearing out the werewolves, but also taken over the other four tasks... According to the time we went to Storm City and returned, there is no extra time to complete other tasks?"
"It's okay, I have my own plans. Someone will help us with the task... but you two, go to the Chamber of Commerce Alliance to take more orders first... First consider the iron and armor that our team can make, and what we can't do... As long as it is sent to Storm City, we will follow up."
After sending Mark, Seer and the rest of the team members to the Chamber of Commerce Alliance to receive the order, Gu Cheng took Sali back to Reus' house.
Since the Zero Machine Guild had long regarded Gu Cheng as a "hidden NPC", he would send one or two members to him from time to time to see if there was any task to take. So shortly after Gu Cheng and Sali returned home, members of the Zero Machine Guild came.
After Gu Cheng took out one of the four reward sheets in his hand and compiled it into a rare-level daily task, he directly took out one [Random Treasure Box (Excellent)] and two excellent equipment as a reward. If it weren't for the daily task to be given up at most three rewards, Gu Cheng even wanted to put the more he put, the better. Anyway, he would recover as much as he paid after the task was completed... Unfortunately, the system would not let him take advantage of this loophole.
The two players of the Zero Machine finally had a mission today, and they were still rare-level missions. They quickly took the mission down and asked Gu Cheng if he still needed help. When they asked Gu Cheng whether he still needed help, he received a positive answer from Gu Cheng.
The two immediately passed the news to the guild channel. After a while, a large group of players from the No. 0 Machine ran to Gu Cheng to take on the mission.
After Gu Cheng released the remaining three reward tasks, Mark took everyone back to the stronghold.
Mark received a total of 8-game orders, but only 2 of them were able to cope with the life skills team members in the Vow Team. The other 6-games are not that they cannot do it, but it is difficult to complete it in a short period of time. What's more, even if it is completed, it is difficult for people to transport these goods on the road at the moment with Vow.
Therefore, when Mark was following Gu Cheng's instructions to "receive as much as he can", he was still very nervous. But Mark chose to believe in Gu Cheng, after all, Gu Cheng is the leader of the group.
Gu Cheng took out the two orders that the team could complete and handed them over to Mark, and took all his funds to take him to take charge. He once again turned them into daily tasks to the players of Zero Machine. However, in the last few tasks, Gu Cheng could no longer give out the rewards, and could only "tactical" to indicate that if the players of Zero Machine can complete the task, they would receive a "mysterious gift".
Gu Cheng didn't expect that the "blank check" he wrote not only did not arouse the rejection of the players of the Zero Machine, but instead made them very happy, and they all thought they had received the "hidden mission"... In this regard, Gu Cheng could only regretfully say that it was not really that I wanted to cheat you, it was you who jumped in by yourself...
As for what "mysterious gift"... after the task is completed, Mr. Gu will think about it before talking about it...
