Chapter 472 Bounty Mission
Zhou Ning was relatively unfamiliar with Nathaniel's adventure missions. After watching carefully, he found that there were no more Darkland in terms of variety and quantity.
More than 90% of the jobs are odd jobs such as finding cats and dogs, transporting goods, finding people, collecting debts, and even unclogging toilets and sewers.
It is better to leave these simple tasks to the players.
Besides that, the difficulty levels varied considerably. The easiest ones were the aforementioned odd jobs, while the most challenging ones included assassinating Valentine, the "Weather Lord," and recruiting others to form a treasure hunt. Zhou Ning also saw a rather bizarre bounty, seeking to organize a team to enter the Weather Tide, claiming to be searching for the lost elven kingdom.
Regardless of the difficulty, Zhou Ning, who knew some of the history of the elves and had the treasure map, could only laugh.
Zhou Ning quickly scanned the bulletin boards and initially zeroed in on three bounties. One was officially posted, from the Wolf Worship Cult's High Priest, Negan Hart. According to the mission description, he had infiltrated Nathaniel last month and presided over a human sacrifice before disappearing. The mission was rated B-level, suggesting the target was a near-super-class professional, making it relatively easy for him.
It just so happened that the Josie West he was tracking seemed to be connected to the Wolf Cult. He was responsible for the assassination of Angus Motley. If he continued along this line, perhaps fate would bring them together again.
The second bounty is for Cotton Benson, the boatswain of Saroyan, the king of Lavidus. Someone witnessed him appearing in District 7. This bounty is also a B-level one. Obviously, as the boatswain of a pirate king, Cotton Benson must perfectly meet the requirements of the thirty-six sinners' souls.
Zhou Ning will use his Batman alias to complete the two bounty missions mentioned above. Completing the bounty missions with Batman will also let the authorities know that Batman is related to him.
Although he had unfortunately been exposed by the players, he had not been exposed by the NPCs. At this point in time, adding a powerful and obvious helper to himself would be very helpful for the Star Organization to gain a foothold here.
As for the other bounty, it required an investigation into the strange events that occurred on Zijing Road at night. Zhou Ning happened to know the client—coincidentally, it was his landlord, Viscount Hall. He could ask about it during the evening banquet.
Zijing Road just intersects with Jinlu Avenue where Zhou Ning lives. Zhou Ning has reasonable reasons to suspect that the other party also has a row of houses on Zijing Road.
"and many more……"
Just as Zhou Ning took off the three mission nameplates and was about to accept the bounty, he saw a middle-aged man with neatly combed brown hair walking towards him quickly.
Is there a commission? Zhou Ning looked at the other person and stopped.
"Mr. Wayne Sternwell?" the middle-aged man asked, motioning Zhou Ning to sit down next to him.
"It's me." Zhou Ning nodded and looked the other person up and down.
The other person was a typical Fariq person, with brown hair and blue eyes, thin build, seemed a little nearsighted, and always squinted when looking at people.
Being watched by a powerful being at least on the level of a pirate general was not a pleasant experience. The man concealed his obvious nervousness and said with a chuckle:
"My name is Rick Green, a member of the Sifaliq Archaeological Society. We've been commissioned by a certain gentleman to explore the weather tides of Hood Island, where a large elven ruin has yet to be excavated. We need experienced adventurers to join us. Are you interested?"
"You know, this is the best opportunity to get in touch with lost history. For a historian, exploring history and understanding history is the way to enter eternity from history."
If I weren't a historian, you would have almost convinced me... Zhou Ning curled his lips. To be honest, he was a little tempted. He turned and asked:
"How many people have you prepared? When will they set off? What is the reward for participating?"
Rick Green smiled sincerely and said:
"We've just started planning, and there are only five people involved. As for the compensation, each participant will receive 5 Victa."
"But once we get the spoils, we will follow the principle of equal distribution."
200 Victors... 5 people... What kind of amazing team is this? Zhou Ning wondered if he had heard it wrong.
He felt that there was no way to continue the conversation today, so he stood up decisively and politely refused:
"I'll think about it."
Afterwards, he ignored the other party and calmly returned to the counter.
The latter tactfully stopped disturbing him and left his seat.
He was already very satisfied with the outcome of the conversation, because after all, the preparations had just begun, and his purpose was just to make himself familiar with the other party and let them know that there was such an invitation.
"I want to take on these tasks."
Zhou Ning looked up at the staff and placed the three task nameplates on the table. He received a reply soon and passed the task successfully.
[Guild Mission - [Bounty: Wolf Cult Priest Nigan]]
[Mission Introduction: The Wolf Cult's High Priest, Negan Hart, has infiltrated Nathaniel. Please find his whereabouts, kill him, and bring back the token representing his identity.]
[Mission requirements: Kill Negan Hart.]
[Rewards: 250 million experience points, 4000 Vekta, 1 random reward, Organization Points +66, Organization Reputation +10]
Guild Quest - [Reward: Cotton Benson]
[The mission description and mission requirements are the same as above, omitted for now.]
[Rewards: 220 million experience points, 3500 Vekta, 1 random reward, Organization Points +60, Organization Reputation +10]
[Guild Mission——[Exploring the Strange Things on Bauhinia Road]]
[Task introduction omitted]
[Reward: 65 experience points, the rest is unknown.]
"This is your mission nameplate. The bounty for Cotton Benson has a seven-day mission deadline, while the other two have no time limit requirements. Don't miss the time." The staff handed the mission nameplate to Zhou Ning and said with a smile.
"Okay." Zhou Ning nodded without hesitation. Although the third mission was the worst on the surface, with almost no reward, it was actually what he valued most. His long-term mission experience taught him that sometimes the unknown is the best.
……
After receiving the task, Zhou Ning did not stay any longer and first came to a clothing store not far away.
I bought a complete suit, which cost me 200 Victa, including a black tuxedo, bow tie, and perfectly pressed trousers. I looked like a landlord's silly son! But the effect was also very good. I looked 120 points in the mirror.
He then bought a bottle of expensive Temple red wine nearby and took a carriage for half an hour to arrive at Viscount Hall's home at 137 Golden Avenue.
After taking a look at Viscount Hall's house decorated with various colorful lights, he lowered his hat and got off the carriage.
As Zhou Ning walked through the gate, he immediately saw Viscount Hall and his wife coming towards him.
The former wore a blue aristocratic costume, which was similar to the Kingdom of Bryston. In the Kingdom of Sifalik, only nobles could wear colorful clothes, and the requirements were more stringent.
His wife wore a long red satin dress with a hint of Rococo style, showing off her curves and revealing a small portion of her fair, smooth chest. In contrast to the strict laws, the Sifalik people were open-minded.
Zhou Ning shook his head slightly, suddenly remembering a hellish joke he had seen before.
What do Sifaliks do when they go to bed?
10% of the Sifaliks turned around and continued to sleep;
10% of the Sifaliks will have a cigarette afterwards;
80% of the Sifalik people would put on their clothes and sneak back to their homes.
