According to the regulations of the adventurers Association, each adventurer can only take one task at the same time, and can't take several on-the-way tasks together as in the main world.
And despite the high level of science and technology in this replica world, there are more monsters. With the development of civilization and the expansion of people's scope of activities, the demand for eliminating monsters is higher and higher.
Laying railways and roads, building new cities, reclaiming farmland farms and so on all need the help of adventurers. Even if they use a magic device similar to "mosquito repellent incense" to disperse monsters near artificial objects, it is not omnipotent. Powerful monsters will still ignore it. Therefore, even taking a train for a fast and long-distance trip still has a certain risk.
Due to the large number of monsters, the most three types of tasks on the revealing board of level D tasks are road patrol, eliminating monster groups in specific places, and escorting passengers to a place.
To sum up, an Yizhi pointed out that they must choose the task well.
After discussing with the two men for a while, they finally chose an escort task instead of "meet and fight" that an Yizhi is best at.
The reason is very simple. The cost performance is not high enough.
It's not that the reward is low. The reward for eliminating monsters is the highest of the three tasks. You can't take the task all depends on the reward.
For any one of the three, this is a brand-new replica world. I don't know anything about it. Don't look at the database from NIKU over there, but the information that NIKU is interested in may not be of interest to the players.
Like what's on sale in the store.
Weapon stores in different cities are good at different types, prices and even quality of weapons. In addition, there are trains, a fast-moving means of transportation in this replica world, so don't just focus on the city when you enter the replica. It's more useful to collect more information. Even if you don't use it this time, you'll save a lot of things next time.
Naturally, this aspect is also taken into consideration when selecting tasks. An Yi's intention is to take as many tasks as possible that need to be completed in other cities or nearby, so as to maximize the scope of intelligence search, and because "across provinces", the reward is not low.
After completing a task, the adventurer Association in another city will take the same type of task and collect intelligence step by step. It is estimated that after completing two or three tasks, the main task will almost be activated.
The task they chose was the result of the above idea. They escorted the students of four military academies to the border towns in the Empire. As long as they sent them to the border towns, they were finished.
Accepting the adventurer's task in this copy is not a casual oral agreement, or tearing down the note on the disclosure board. Even if you accept the task, you need to go through some formalities.
Take that piece of paper to the business desk and register with the little sister at the front desk.
Incidentally, if a plural number of adventurers want to form a team, they must register together when they receive the task. There is no limit on the number of people, but the reward will not increase with the number of people. Therefore, it has no legal effect only to verbally agree to divide the reward for completing the task. The front desk is also pasted with a banner "Beware of commission fraud"
——It feels like a play.
In other words, with the combat effectiveness level of the three people, separate actions can ensure the maximization of interests. That's right, but the main task of the multiplayer copy is generally based on the comprehensive combat effectiveness of all teammates, and acts arbitrarily. Once everyone activates different main tasks, the difficulty will be disgusting.
An Yizhi has suffered losses in this regard
Take out the just printed adventurer license and give it to the little sister at the front desk. She threw the license into a machine like a copier and soon printed something similar to the copy of her ID card.
She returned the license to Ann, pointed to them, took the copy and said:
"Please follow me. The client is here."
This is not the completion of the task taking procedures. The real key part is to sign the magic contract.
Just as the adventurer will choose tasks on the disclosure board, the client will also choose adventurers, especially this escort task. The client will generally wait in the association that publishes the task.
Follow the little sister at the front desk to the corridor behind the hall. There is a row of rooms with numbers.
This is the reception room specially prepared for the client.
This copy is so troublesome to take the adventurer task. Maybe you can understand it as normal?
In any case, after all, in other people's land, we should act according to each other's rules.
The front desk lady stopped in front of a reception room marked '1-D', reached out to open the door and motioned the three people to follow in. An Yizhi finally saw what the client was like.
The task said that the military academy was studying. An Yizhi thought he would see four rigid soldiers. As a result, he opened the door and found that there were indeed four young girls inside.
The age is about 14 ~ 16 years old. They are two men and two women respectively. The clothes are not the kind of military uniform an Yizhi imagined, but feel like the style of Japanese light novels
Whether men or women in the army wear miniskirts, are you sure you don't go to the army to be an idol?
"These three are the adventurers who took the escort mission. Their information is here."
The front desk lady handed over the copy. The four... Only the children's military academy students looked at each other, and finally a blonde boy took it over.
"They are all new people. Although one is recommended to level C, the other two are level F adventurers."
The other party seemed a little dissatisfied. An Yizhi stepped forward:
"It is precisely because we are new people that we can hire them at a d-level price."
He looked at Ann and pointed:
"Indeed."
Then he scanned Rhett and apple tea, especially their weapons for a long time.
Adventurers dressed in rags are not necessarily poor in strength, but adventurers with excellent equipment are definitely not weak chickens. Weapons account for a large proportion.
He paid attention to their weapons and judged whether the other party was good enough.
"Where's your weapon?"
"When I need to take out my weapons, I have exceeded the level of level D tasks."
"Huh?"
He stared at an Yizhi, who felt oppressed by the superior, but because he was too young, the result was that an Yizhi felt that he was cruel and funny
Don't laugh, the task will come to naught!
After looking at each other for several seconds, the other party finally said:
"The travel expenses on the way are borne by us. The destination is the pine town near the frontier fortress. The basic reward is 15 gold coins. If we encounter monsters on the way, an additional 5 gold coins will be added. If the situation changes, you need to send us to the nearby Imperial fortress, I will add 2 gold coins."
"Has the situation changed?"
"There is only one supply vehicle between Pine Town and the fortress every day. Because the supply time is confidential, it is unclear whether there is still a vehicle when we arrive, so you need to continue to escort at that time."
An Yizhi calculated and said:
"How far is Pine Town from the fortress?"
"About an hour's walk."
Considering the benefits, it's no problem.
Waving to the front desk lady, the latter took out the prepared contract document, and both parties signed their names under the document. With a flash of magic, it means that the contract is officially effective.
–‐‐——–‐‐——
When you take the task, you naturally have to do it.
The pine town at the destination is connected by railway. It was originally a supply point of the imperial border fortress, through which soldiers and materials would be transported. Later, it slowly developed into a small town.
No wonder the client is responsible for the travel expenses. They actually took three players on the military freight train. What's worse, because the town is very remote, there is no bus to arrive at all.
Therefore, they can only sit on cans that may be supplied to front-line soldiers, and their comfort is naturally out of the question.
There is only one way to pass the time on the train.
play cards.
Apple tea fell out of a pair of three and said:
"Brother an, seriously, please teach me some skills to pick up girls."
"How can I understand this?"
"Aren't you getting married?"
"I won at the starting line."
“……”
Rhett interjected:
"Picking up girls is nothing more than having time and money. I'll introduce Blu to you another day. That guy can be called a love saint in school. In his original words, he said, 'is there anything easier than picking up girls?', a group of inferior people."
I can't see that Blu still has this skill.
As the three were talking, Ann squinted at the four clients sitting on the other side of the carriage.
The relationship between them is not like several players. They are also divided into two small groups, one man and one woman.
An Yizhi felt that it seemed to be related to her birth.
The blonde man and another blue haired woman who spoke as representatives should be of noble origin, and the remaining two young girls, red and green, should be civilians.
More importantly, they all carry briefcase sized suitcases, two of which have complex badges and the other two don't.
Heraldry is usually a symbol of nobility, so it can be easily seen.
To make complaints about this world, apart from the technology development, the most worthy place is the color of people here.
Blonde hair and red hair, which are common hair colors among European and American people, don't mention what ghosts blue hair and green hair are. The more Ann looks at it, the more she feels like playing Japanese RPG
Leaving aside this part, the four also carried weapons. After all, they were students in the military academy and had an official background.
They are one handed stabbing sword, two handed big sword, magic wand, and should be a shotgun.
However, their weapons are different from those often seen by an Yizhi and others. To be exact, they are more similar to an Yizhi's magic wand. They basically have the function of folding and storage, and many complex mechanical structures can be seen on them. There is a sense of magic mixed with Steampunk.
The world's weapons and equipment are not necessarily superior to other weapons in terms of practicability, but they have great advantages in ease of use and mass production.
The replicability of wisdom is the key to civilization progress. The lower the cost of replication, the faster the progress.
The same is true of weapons and equipment. According to Haila, their weapons have integrated many spell functions. As long as they consume magic, they can activate spells instantly without chanting and gestures. They can even fill special magic clips to consume it to release spells for energy. Even an ordinary person who seems to have no magic can start quickly.
This is very similar to the setting of guns in reality.
