A Genius in a Second to Remember Love? Water Fairy hurriedly held him back.
"You risked your life for your Lakeside Town, and that's all you got?" Lu Li looked like he was going to beat the old man up, but Water Fairy quickly pulled him back.
Of course, he was just putting on an act.
The mayor was a friendly unit to him, so there was no way he could beat him. Even if he did, he wouldn't be able to beat him.
"The quest stated that the maximum reward is 15 gold coins. I can't do anything about it. The extra 5 gold coins are my private money." Solomon said with a pained expression, "I'm just a small mayor, not a real noble."
His words were not nonsense. The natural resources of Lakeside Town were not abundant, and the fact that the town could be built like this and the people could live and work in peace and contentment showed that the stingy mayor was not an insatiable person.
"Well, what about the EXP?" Lu Li did not care much about the gold coins. In fact, the gold coins obtained from quests were relatively meager.
Solomon gave a number, and Lu Li calculated that it was only enough for him to increase his EXP by 4%. In fact, for someone at his level, there were very few quests that could increase his EXP by 4%, but he still wanted more.
This kind of quest that required him to protect someone generally had a lot of room for improvement.
The more complete the quest, the higher the reward, but it was also up to him to fight for it, especially when the person who issued the quest was a stingy person. Solomon was definitely not the kind of person who would take the initiative to increase the quest reward.
Solomon was at his wit's end, and he was really worried that Lu Li would give up the quest, so he finally gave a higher number.
It seemed to be about 9%, which seemed to be his bottom line. No matter how Lu Li pestered him, he refused to budge. He even said that he was going to give up Lakeside Town and return to Stormwind City.
Lu Li did not believe that he would do that.
In addition to the 20 gold coins, there was a portion of EXP that could increase Lu Li's EXP by 9%.
As for equipment or materials, there was none. Solomon was willing to give Lu Li a few sets of dried fish, but he refused all of them. This kind of shoddy stuff was not even good enough to feed a Canmeng pet.
"I sent a scout to investigate there yesterday and left a plum-shaped signal. You can contact him," Solomon said quickly.
He just wanted Lu Li and Water Fairy to get lost.
"One last request," Lu Li said, suddenly remembering something. "After we complete the quest, you must give Keeshan and the others a job. They are Warriors who can protect Lakeshire. Remember this lesson, and don't wait until you're at the end of the line to ask for help again."
Solomon blushed and muffled to show that he heard it.
After Lu Li left, the old man bitterly returned to the warehouse. At this time, the warehouse was no longer filled with dried fish. In addition to more Saltpeter Bombs, there were also some weapons, armours, cloth, furs, minerals and other materials. There were even rare materials and a large amount of gold coins. The Lakeside Town was bustling with people; it wasn't as barren as he had said.
This was why he accepted Lu Li's extortion. When you had a certain amount of money, you wouldn't care if you gave someone one or two buns.
Lu Li went to rent a boat. He originally had a boat, but he did not bring it with him.
Lakeside Town had a sightseeing boat that could be rented for five hours for seven gold coins. This amount of money was nothing to them.
When Lu Li and Water Fairy returned, Keeshan and the others were waiting by Lakeside Lake. They were all well-behaved people and did not get drunk. Everyone was wearing their repaired equipment.
Hunter Keeshan, Mage Messner, Paladin Jorgensen, Warrior Danvers, Thief Krakauer, Lu Li, and Water Fairy. There were three Thieves in the team and no healer. It was not a good combination, but considering that this was a stealth mission, it made more sense.
"Can this thing still be used?" Lu Li threw the tank in front of the team.
"It's a CTF-2 Goblin Tank. Good stuff. Danvers, it's yours. Repair it," Keeshan said happily as he patted the outside of the tank.
Danvers, who did not talk much, came up to inspect the tank and suggested a few engineering materials.
They were all found by Lu Li, who was a senior engineer.
The repair work was so simple that it was almost perfunctory. In the blink of an eye, the unsightly tank slowly started to move. Danvers was not only good at engineering, but he was also an excellent driver.
Lu Li wasn't stingy with his praise for this uncanny technique.
"If you want to learn, I can teach you the Engineering Repair skill. It's not very useful," Danvers said kindly.
"Of course, thank you for your generosity." Lu Li was overjoyed.
Danvers gave Lu Li a book. When Lu Li opened it, he received a system notification that he had learned the Engineering Repair skill.
The skill could consume a certain amount of materials to repair damaged engineering items. It required Expert Engineering, and there was a certain probability of failure.
Knowing one more thing meant more money, not to mention the Engineering Repair skill.
Because of his rebirth, Lu Li knew that many ruins and ruins had remnants of engineering creations. As long as he could repair a few of them, it would be a windfall.
Then, Lu Li took out the Explosive Salt Bombs.
"Forty-six Explosive Salt Bombs. You guys sure are honest." Keeshan put away the bombs that Lu Li brought and pushed Lu Li's rented boat into the water.
Lu Li chuckled and followed him onto the boat.
Messner, the Mage, was rowing the boat. He cast a fire spell backward and pushed the boat forward. Perhaps he was used to this kind of thing, but the boat moved quickly and steadily.
"When this mission is over, I'll use this skill to become a fisherman," Messner said with a smile.
"I'll go farm. My grandfather and father raised their wives and children by farming." The Paladin was dressed in silver armor. His majestic appearance was that of a farmer.
The others also expressed their plans to come back.
Keeshan, the Legendary Soldier King, sat at the bow of the boat and stared blankly at the sparkling lake. When he came back to his senses, he said, "I... I'll probably go boxing."
"Actually, you don't have to do that. I've already talked to Mayor Solomon. He'll provide everyone with decent jobs," Lu Li said.
Lu Li thought that this piece of good news would be met with a round of cheers, but the five NPCs all shook their heads in disapproval. Keeshan saw that the situation was too awkward, so he patted Lu Li on the shoulder and said, "Thank you, brother."
As they spoke, the Stonewatch Stronghold was already in sight.
The Stonewatch Stronghold used to be a fortress of the Alliance. It was captured by the Blackrock Orcs during the Second World War and was still occupied by them. It was located on a strategically valuable slope to the east of Lakeshire. The Blackrock Orcs robbed travelers all year round and sometimes gathered to harass the outskirts of Lakeshire.
