Ping Liang Shelter, Mercenary Street.
In this area, the mercenary industry was flourishing.
The survivors who came and went were mostly hunters wearing tight clothes and carrying swords and firearms. Each of them exuded a fierce aura. There were also some ordinary people who specialized in logistics services so that the mercenaries could go out in their best condition for missions.
The core of the street was a ten-story tall building. The words "Mercenary Mission Management Center" hung outside the building's second floor. It was particularly conspicuous.
Hunters came and went in an endless stream.
"Have you heard that a new" Adventurer's Guild "building has been built a few hundred meters away. It's similar to the" Mission Center ". It's rare that it can open in the shelter."
"It's nothing. It's said that behind the" Adventurer's Guild "is another large shelter called … Tree Shade. Yes, Tree Shade Shelter. It's quite far from here, but I heard that their strength is much stronger than our Ping Liang Shelter."
"Not only that, have you seen the exchange list in the" Adventurer's Guild "? Damn, it's all rune equipment! They can get whatever they want, and they even categorize rune equipment into several grades. I wonder what grade this Dragoncry Saber that I exchanged for from the Mission Center is. It should be at least C grade, right? "
"I have a friend's uncle who recently went to work in the" Adventurer's Guild ". I heard that there are a lot of rune equipment there. I can see at least a few hundred pieces in the warehouse. So I have registered as an adventurer in the guild. It's free anyway."
"However, although the" Adventurer's Guild "exchange list is rich, there are too few missions. Rune equipment can't be bought directly with spirit stones. I think it's like a gimmick. In fact …"
The mercenary who spoke shook his head.
'Adventurer's Guild' had been a hot topic recently. On the 'Battle Net', where the mercenaries used to communicate, the term 'Adventurer's Guild' had become a hot topic. The most discussed topic was the dazzling array of rune equipment.
It was said that with a C-grade equipment, an ordinary hunter could easily kill a demonic beast.
But how was that possible!
Even with the captain's superb combat skills, holding a high-grade rune weapon, the Dragon Cry Knife, he could only fight a demonic beast with a level higher.
The mercenaries scoffed at the rumors that were circulating around.
It was just an unorthodox method to create momentum.
"That's right. No matter how much rune equipment there is, it's all fake if you can't get your hands on it. Besides, there aren't many missions in the Adventurer's Guild. Even if it's internal staff, I suspect that they're being used by the guild's upper echelons to spread fake news."
Even the mercenaries who had registered as adventurers didn't refute what everyone else said.
No matter how popular a new guild was, it was just a topic of conversation. The "Quest Center" was where they belonged.
A group of people chatted and laughed as they walked into the mercenary building. Since they were unwilling to work, they could only rely on accepting missions to maintain their lives.
…
Hundreds of meters away, the Adventurers Guild branch building might not have as many floors as the Quest Center, but the newly built building was even more majestic.
Two majestic stone lions were standing at the entrance. They were half-squatting, and their bell-sized eyes were staring at everyone who came in and out.
But the awkward thing was that the entrance of the Adventurer's Guild was deserted.
In the morning, only a few hunters walked into the hall and took a few glances. The branch had been established for several days, but only two tasks had been accepted, and none had been completed.
Of course.
There weren't many tasks on the guild list. Most of them were just "Find Rare Minerals", "Find Rare Plants", and other tasks that took a lot of time and might not be completed.
The adventurers who accepted the tasks were mostly trying their luck. They didn't know how long they would have to wait until they actually submitted the task items.
The lady in charge of business at the counter, the handsome guy at the door who was ready to help and guide the adventurers, and even the aunt and uncle in charge of cleaning in the guild were worried.
It's not a good thing to be too idle!
In the doomsday, there was no job for idle people. They were worried that the Adventurer's Guild would not be able to continue, and they would lose this rare job.
Diagonally across the guild building, there was a teahouse.
The two people in the private room on the second floor had been sitting here for several hours. They drank a lot of tea, and the number of times they went to the toilet was uncountable.
"The higher-ups asked us to keep an eye on this Adventurer's Guild, but there's really nothing to keep an eye on. There are only a few people all day long. I think it won't be long before it closes."
The informant who used work as an excuse to enter the guild also didn't get any valuable information.
He felt that the higher-ups were making a mountain out of a molehill. As outsiders, without resources, how could the Adventurer's Guild threaten the mission center?
The person at the opposite table poured himself a cup of tea and drank it bit by bit with pursed lips. "Isn't it good? The tea expenses are all reimbursed. I heard that it hasn't been too peaceful recently. Everyone else is busy, but we're free here."
"That's true. I don't know how busy we'll be after this mission is completed. I heard that because of the cult remnants, the director's hair has turned white from worry."
The two of them still had a bit of professionalism. As they sipped their tea, they glanced at the entrance of the Adventurer's Guild from time to time. Even when they went to the toilet, they didn't dare to go together. One of them had to keep an eye on it.
"Hurry up and come back. Don't take a dump. My bladder is about to explode."
The person nodded and was about to leave.
Suddenly, the two of them froze and looked up at the sky outside the window. A huge ship floating in the air was slowly descending.
The two of them rubbed their eyes at the same time.
When they looked again, the huge ship was still in their line of sight. The survivors on the street also noticed the huge ship. They stopped in their tracks and looked up in shock.
"Wait, the direction of the floating ship seems to be the empty space behind the Adventurer's Guild? I was wondering why they didn't build a foundation for that place … "
The expressions of the two Ping Liang intelligence agents instantly became very solemn.
The unexpected situation in the mission had finally happened!
"Old Zhang, go inform the higher-ups. I'll go to the Adventurer's Guild to scout the situation."
"No, we'll go together. We'll split up and scout … The floating ship is such an obvious target. There's no way the higher-ups didn't notice it. They'll definitely send someone over. We have to get the preliminary results before the higher-ups arrive."
The two of them looked at each other and nodded heavily.
They pushed open the door of the private room and walked quickly toward the stairs. Suddenly, the two of them stopped in unison. Their gazes faintly looked at the corner marked with the toilet arrow.
