Chapter 142
It is said that he understands now, as long as it is the task world controlled by the ST platform, don't want to plunder resources from here. The so-called food crisis actually only occurs in Chaos Base, or more accurately In other words, it happened to a low-level hunting group like Ximu Town.
Is the ST platform really lacking food?
Not necessarily.
So Mu Shaoan roughly guessed that both the ST platform and Chaos Base actually have a structure similar to an economic circle, and food is just a branch of the economy in this economic circle.
Sometimes this thing will become an invisible weapon, or suppress, or threaten, or lure, anyway.
Mu Shaoan did not buy any food, because he did not have copper dinars. If he used chaotic gold coins or silver dinars to pay, the poor farmers probably couldn’t get change at all, even more how For them, this chaotic gold coin may give them an innocent disaster.
So in the end Mu Shaoan just walked into the only tavern in the fortress of Tyra Town.
In fact, you don't need to imagine, you can probably describe the environment of this tavern, and the Sleeping Giant Hotel in Brook Town is simply the difference between Above the Heavens and Under the Earth.
The first thing I felt when I walked in was dim and narrow.
The second feeling is that this place is more like a fortress, especially the distance from the entrance, it is more like a tightly sealed prison. Being in it, it is easy to worry about being blocked at the door.
It seems that the tavernkeeper is very insecure.
But there are still bright spots in this tavern, at least for Mu Shaoan, because he saw five mercenaries waiting to be hired, wearing leather armor from them, and carrying a From Zhang Lienu's point of view, they should be the cannon fodder mercenaries ranked last in battle strength in Pande continent. They are mercenary sentries promoted by mob elites. In other words, they are the peasant uncles of the enhanced version of the armed forces.
Of course, if this unit continues to be upgraded, it can be upgraded to professional infantry or hired armored crossbowmen. It is a relatively economical and powerful cannon fodder warrior.
Unfortunately, Mu Shaoan's current pre-task is that he cannot use anyone's power, not even mercenaries, he can only face it alone.
In addition to these five mercenary sentries, there are four or five alcoholics in the tavern. Two of them are obviously Fieldsway border guards in the Fortress of Tyra, and there is a drunk alcoholic, and finally two A guy who looks like a businessman, hiding in a dark corner is very low-key.
His eyes quickly swept all around, Mu Shaoan stepped forward and came to the dark and dirty tavern counter. The owner of the tavern is a bit fat but still sexy middle-aged Woman, um, why do you describe it like this?
"Mr. Mercenary, would you like a big glass of dark beer to cool off?" Lady Boss blinked her eyes and asked enthusiastically.
Mu Shaoan certainly does not understand that the other party is flirting and cursing. In fact, in many missions in the world, the bosses of the tavern are guys with very background.
The most important thing is that the other party can provide you with a lot of information, or provide your information to others in a blink of an eye.
"Why not? If I can, I think I need some delicious food."
Mu Shaoan smiled, his eyes deliberately greedy on the other's two tall peaks The ground stayed for three seconds, of course, all of this was just for the sake of a formality, as if he had no appetite at the moment, he still had to order a large glass of dark beer and some food as usual.
Sure enough, Lady Boss happily flew a wink, then turned around and brought Mu Shaoan a large piece of black bread, plus a small piece of cheese, and most importantly, two small salted fish.
"Thanks for your patronage, 6 silver dinars." Lady Boss said with a slight smile.
The price is several times higher than that directly outside.
At this time, Mu Shaoan calmly touched out a chaotic gold coin, squinted at the right hand of Lady Boss, rubbed it, and put the chaotic gold coin into it. , Make sure no one finds out, but she wants to come to Lady Boss to understand this rule.
Buy information, if anyone comes in stupidly, ask Lady Boss what important information do you have? I want to buy it. That's the real idiot. Didn't you see two Fieldsway border guards sitting in this tavern?
Or even without these two border guards, this method of inquiring about news is absolutely stupid.
Mu Shaoan is very adept at these indiscriminate ways.
Next, the Lady Boss smiled like a flower, and smiled angrily, and there was no more to follow.
Mu Shaoan didn’t accept it, holding the rough wooden plate with the food and the big glass of dark beer, he found an empty seat to sit down, not far from the five hired sentries. , And then he shook off his cheeks and started chewing, although in theory he had no appetite at all.
Nothing happened during this period, but the five mercenary sentinels looked at Mu Shaoan's food greedyly, it looked like they were mixed up very badly.
When Mu Shaoan finished drinking a large glass of dark beer, he started shouting again for Lady Boss to have another glass. At this time, Lady Boss walked out of the counter and brought him a large glass of dark beer again. , The whole process did not seem to have any weak spot, but in fact a lot of information has quickly surfaced in his mind.
Yes, this is the information he wants to buy. There are six or seven mercenary missions in it, and there are missions issued by the lord, etc., with different levels of difficulty.
Mu Shaoan has skipped all of these. He has no interest and no time and energy to complete these low-paid, but still very troublesome mercenary missions. What he needs is another one. Kind of intelligence information.
For example, he is very interested in three of them.
"No. A-11982, you got a vague message from Lady Boss, a tavern in Tyra. Two days ago, a caravan from Ravenston was attacked near Fort Iron Oak. Now, this is a terrifying event. You must know that these caravans that can cross the five kingdoms usually have a large background. They have strong financial resources and the goods they transport are extremely expensive. The mercenary group protected by the group is as always. Are powerful, but they are still attacked. I don’t know if there are any survivors yet?"
"No. A-11982, you got a vague message from Lady Boss, a tavern in Terra Town. Days ago, a terrifying slave suddenly attacked a merchant ship protected by the wind god Hafshigra, so this Spiritual God seemed to be angry and sent his sacrifice to punish the bold mortal, but as of now, There is no follow-up information yet."
"No. A-11982, you got a vague message from Lady Boss, the tavern in Tyra Town, that a cunning bandit seems to be plotting some conspiracy, but The commander of the Fortress of Tyra sneered at this. If you are interested, you can find some local farmers to find out the situation."
——
These three pieces of information Among them, except for the second one which is related to Mu Shaoan himself, although the remaining two are totally irrelevant at first glance, they actually represent the situation around the fortress of Terra Town, even if Mu Shaoan doesn’t. Being good at reasoning, I can see that a very powerful military force should have risen near the abandoned Iron Oak Fort. I don't know which force it belongs to?
After thinking for a while, he stood up with food and dark beer, and sat unceremoniously on the wine table where the five mercenary sentries were, yelling: "Man, are you interested? Earn some extra money?"
"You are going to the wilderness? No, we are not going to take risks there!"
A hired sentry refused to say a word, no doubt, because With regard to the predecessor task, within the three-day task period, Mu Shaoan could not hire any mercenaries at all.
But his plan is not to find cannon fodder to reduce the difficulty of the pre-task, let alone play the major event of earth shattering, he is only interested in the last piece of information provided by Lady Boss.
And the side missions extended by this information may provide some help for Mu Shaoan's pre-task.
Yes, although he dared to do this task singlehanded, it doesn't mean that he doesn't even need to collect information in the early stage. Know yourself and know your enemy, this is the most basic condition.
Now those rogue Knight regiments are hiding in the wilderness of the war buffer zone. If only their this power is the only one, it would be nice to say, but the problem is that there are less than a dozen evil forces in the big war buffer zone. He just rushed in with such a hot head, who knows which power he will run into first?
So you have to figure out the information.
But this kind of precise information is not available from Lady Boss in the tavern, and the ST platform is even more impossible to give him guidance, so naturally, Mu Shaoan has to find a familiar war buffer first. The guys who are familiar with the wilderness come to torture it.
Who should this target be?
Of course it is those cunning bandits who are planning some conspiracy.
The target of the conspiracy of these bandits should not be big, otherwise the commander of the fortress of Tyra will not sneer, and this conspiracy needs to be known by asking the farmers, so this task itself is equivalent to reducing the force. grid.
It's not that I look down on the farmer uncle, but in this mission world, the farmer is really the lowest level.
A group of bandits who are planning to plot against the farmer uncle, think about how small and pitiful they are. The red bandit brother will be more beautiful than them.
"Hehe, I didn’t plan to go to the wilderness. Actually, I was going to deal with a group of poor bandits. Well, you guys should know what I’m talking about?"
Mu Shaoan faintly smiled and said, the news he believes is not the high level. In fact, there should be some miserable farmers who are asking for help everywhere in the fortress of Terra Town at this moment.
Sure enough, when he heard this, the five mercenary sentinels all showed a look of relief. The mercenary sentinel who spoke before couldn’t help but mockingly said: "If you are referring to the village of Gellei Those hillbillies who are so poor that only straw sandals are left, of course we know what you’re talking about, haha, this is almost a joke in Tyra town, but please forgive me to speak bluntly, those hillbillies simply give No remuneration, and as everyone knows, those cunning bandits are so poor that they don’t have the slightest oil, otherwise they won’t look at the poor farmers, sir, you are willing to generously give out all your dinars. Come to fight for a group of unfamiliar poor ghosts? Stop kidding."
