"May I know which mission Blazing Sun chose?" Liu County Lieutenant asked curiously when he saw Yang Rui tossing and turning for quite a while.
"Sir, I chose the Gourd Valley Bandit Extermination Mission." Yang Rui presented the mission scroll to Liu County Lieutenant and said, "If I'm not wrong, the bandits are on the hill opposite the mountain village. If we can exterminate them as soon as possible, we can get rid of a threat to the village!"
"Hmm, Blazing Sun really cares about the safety of the villagers! That's great, I'll allow you to accept this mission! " Liu County Lieutenant said as he returned the Gourd Valley Bandit Extermination Mission scroll to Yang Rui and said, "Blazing Sun, you can open the scroll and check the details now!"
"Thank you, sir!" Yang Rui took the scroll and checked it carefully.
"Gourd Valley Bandit Extermination Mission: Gourd Valley Bandits gather in the Ao Lai Peak Mountain Range of Juping County. They have been causing harm for many years and have committed all kinds of evil deeds. Today, I'll send a righteous person to exterminate the bandits in order to help the people, maintain public order, and stabilize the country …"
…
Mission Hint: Gourd Valley Bandits have been gathering for a long time. Their strength cannot be underestimated. You must be careful when exterminating them!
Mission Time Limit: One month (29 days, 11 hours, and a quarter remaining …)
…).
Mission Reward: Depending on the degree of completion, it will be determined by the County Commandant's Office …
…
Attached: A detailed map of the bandit camp … "
"Thank you, Sir, for taking care of me. Sir, you're busy with work, so I won't disturb you any longer!"
"No problem, no problem," Liu County Lieutenant had already gained a lot of benefits, so naturally, he was happy for Yang Rui to leave as soon as possible.
"Then, I'll take my leave!"
"Hmm, Blazing Sun, take care. I won't send you off. I'll be waiting for your good news!"
After hastily confirming the general content of the mission, Yang Rui bid farewell to Liu County Lieutenant and left. Next, he had to find a way to complete the mission at hand as soon as possible!
Yang Rui gave up on other missions and chose the Gourd Valley Bandit Extermination Mission, which was basically under his control. It could be said that he had given up on a strategic resource! The reason why he made this choice was because he wanted to get the position of Village Constable as soon as possible so that he could upgrade the mountain village to a small town as soon as possible! In this way, he would try his best to maintain the advantages he had gained from his previous life!
In the past few days, although the Big Mountain Village had been promoted to an Advanced Village, the Big Mountain Village's World Ranking continued to decline. Now, it had fallen to around 80, and would soon fall out of the top 100! At the same time, the Great Mountain Village's ranking in the China region was not optimistic either. It had already fallen out of the top 10. At this rate, it would soon be overtaken by the rising forces!
Leveling up a town was a watershed. It was a great opportunity to increase one's strength and widen the gap between them and the other territories! Therefore, Yang Rui chose the bandit camp near the Big Mountain Village as the target for this mission.
In this way, if he successfully took down the bandit camp, not only would he be able to obtain the reward of an official position, but he would also be able to complete the mission at the same time. He would also be able to develop the bandit camp into a farming base for the Big Mountain Village! Killing three birds with one stone!
After leaving the County Magistrate's Manor, Yang Rui could not help but sigh in his heart. Dealing with officials was really tiring!
At this time, Shopkeeper Zhao of A pint of incense was playing chess with Shopkeeper Wei of the County Magistrate's Manor. They were waiting for Yang Rui. Naturally, after exchanging some pleasantries, Yang Rui and Shopkeeper Zhao left together.
"Looking at Blazing Sun's expression, this meeting with the County Magistrate should be quite smooth, right?" Shopkeeper Zhao asked after the two of them got into the carriage.
"I was just about to mention this matter to Shopkeeper Zhao. This time, under the recommendation of Shopkeeper Zhao and A pint of incense, Blazing Sun could be considered to have successfully obtained the mission that he wanted. I would like to thank Shopkeeper Zhao for his trouble!" Yang Rui cupped his fist and said.
"It's nothing, it's nothing. A pint of incense did not put in much effort. If you want to thank me, you should go back and thank Shopkeeper Wang. Between the two of us, there is no need to be so polite. Hehehe … "
Shopkeeper Zhao laughed and began to talk about the details of the meeting with the County Magistrate with Yang Rui.
Yang Rui did not hide anything and told Shopkeeper Zhao everything that happened in the County Magistrate's Manor. However, he did not mention the part where he gave the gift and only briefly mentioned it. Shopkeeper Zhao was also an understanding person and naturally did not ask anything in this regard. Not long after, the carriage arrived in front of A pint of incense.
At this time, the sky was already dark and Yang Rui just so happened to be at A pint of incense and stayed there for the night. During this time, Yang Rui used the excuse of taking a nap to go offline in his room. He took care of Xiaohui and also roughly memorized the map of the two mission scrolls in the County Magistrate's Manor to prevent himself from forgetting it.
When he went online at night, Yang Rui naturally set up a banquet and invited Shopkeeper Wang and Shopkeeper Zhao to sit down to express his gratitude for A pint of incense's recommendation. During the banquet, the few of them naturally had a good chat and could not help but drink a few more cups. Additionally, they also talked about some sweet potato business before dispersing.
The next day, Yang Rui bade farewell to A pint of incense early in the morning and hurriedly set foot on the road to Da Shan Village. Since he had accepted the mission, he had to return to the village and complete it as soon as possible. There was a one-month deadline for clearing the mission. If he could not complete it on time, it was very likely that he would have to wait for a period of time before he could accept another similar mission.
On the way back to the village, Yang Rui naturally did not forget to take a look at the location of the thieves who robbed A pint of incense last time. After comparing it with the map on the mission scroll in his memory, Yang Rui had basically determined the approximate location of the thieves' camp.
When Yang Rui returned to the outskirts of the mountain village, it was already close to noon. Coincidentally, he met Wang Hai, who was helping the refugees register. They talked about the new intermediate carpenter that had spawned in the refugee camp over the past day. Yang Rui asked Wang Hai to bring him over.

As an Intermediate Carpenter, Lu Ming's aptitude was actually quite good at Level A. His potential was also very high. He was indeed a craftsman that was hard to come by. After meeting him, Yang Rui naturally praised and encouraged him. After that, he put Lu Ming in charge of the wooden workshop in Da Shan Village.
"I wonder if Lu Ming can make wooden ladders or something like that for siege purposes?" Yang Rui could not help but ask.
"Reporting to my lord, siege weapons require specialized blueprints to be made. Your subordinate is temporarily unable to make such items." Lu Ming paused for a moment before continuing, "However, I can try to make the wooden ladders that my lord mentioned. However, your subordinate is incompetent. My profession level is only Intermediate. The probability of making it is very low!"
Yang Rui did not take Lu Ming's answer to heart. He was just casually asking. Yang Rui was very clear that only when one's profession level reached Master Level would there be hope of creating some new equipment.
Although his Life Skill had reached Intermediate Level, making some simple equipment would not be a problem. He could even make some siege weapons, but generally, he would need the corresponding blueprints!
Currently, Da Shan Village could not do anything to the bandits on the opposite side. The main reason was that the beginner checkpoint halfway up the mountain was blocking the soldiers' advance! If they could make some siege weapons in time, it would not be too difficult to take down this checkpoint!
However, Yang Rui knew very well that the rarity of blueprints for siege weapons was much greater than the rarity of skill books. In his previous life, even the territories set up by famous gaming guilds and gaming workshops could not afford the blueprints for siege weapons even if they were willing to pay a huge price.
In a short period of time, it was almost impossible for Yang Rui to collect the relevant siege weapon blueprints!
