Time passed, and the huge sun on the main plane had already set in the western sky. After the expedition ended, Chen Mu had no intention of stopping and resting. After saying goodbye to An Yu's team, he rushed to the library without stopping, because there were still two tasks waiting for Chen Mu to complete.
The library of 112 City is located on the edge of the core circle of the small town, but it is very close to the college area. With years of accumulation in this small town, this building simply named "112 City Little Library" has slowly climbed to the first level and level 56. At this time, although there is still a small character in its name, its scale is completely different from small. Now, this quaint white place has become a building complex with dozens of houses, and it contains an extremely large number of books!
In the library of the small town, it is completely opposite to the desertedness of the novice plane. There are people coming and going here, and from time to time there are people making noises regardless of warnings, because there are tasks for skill books there.
And in the northwest corner of the library, there is an inconspicuous little corner. Regardless of players or aboriginals, no one pays attention to this place. This small corner is the task management office of the library. There are many tasks hanging here all year round waiting for help from knowledgeable people. However, the low reward of the mission scared off most people, but Chen Mu was not included among them.
Chen Mu not only took on this thankless task, but he also took on two tasks at once, "112 History of the Small Town" and "Lost Records". To be honest, the reward for this mission is really very low, but he just completed the mission incidentally, so that's another matter.
As soon as Chen Mu arrived at the library, he rushed directly to the task management office.
This place is managed by an aborigine who looks very old, but he spends most of his time sleeping. Therefore, the two times Chen Mu came here, all he saw was the old man lying on his back in a wicker chair, sound asleep.
Chen Mu came closer and reminded loudly: "Hello, I'll hand in the mission!"
But the old man was so sleepy that Chen Mu's little voice couldn't wake him up. In desperation, he had no choice but to use the method he used last time and directly threw an identification technique at the old man.
"System prompt: Dear player, the target you identified is far beyond your detection range, and you have not been able to obtain any target information!"
The system prompts coming from his ears showed that the result this time was the same as last time. However, Chen Mu didn't need any systematic identification skills. He could judge by his own experience that the old man in front of him was trapped in the first level just like Alford.
Although Chen Mu did this very rudely, the effect was immediate.
The old man named Cedric, the task manager, was like a bucket of cold water pouring down Chen Mu's identification skills, waking up the sleeping old man.
Old man Cedric opened his eyes and immediately saw Chen Mu. He shook his head in frustration and sighed, while complaining angrily: "Oh why are you such a troublemaker again!"
Being a task manager in the library was originally a leisure position, so the old man also planned to retire here. However, he encountered Chen Mu, a daring player, and used identification techniques to wake him up twice.
Identification technique, the original function of this skill is to identify things. However, experienced people will know its hidden effect: Disturbance, so players actually prefer to call it provocative. If someone releases the identification skill on other players, the target player will immediately have a secret feeling of peeping into his heart.
"Little guy, do you know that using this kind of skill on an old man is extremely rude" Old man Cedric complained endlessly. He kept talking like a normal old man. .
"I want to apologize for my previous behavior!" Chen Mu is not an unreasonable person, so he apologized first like last time.
Immediately afterwards, Chen Mu explained helplessly across the counter: "I'm sorry to disturb you! However, I think this is the only way to wake you up without making a loud noise! ??This time I am Come to hand in the mission!"
"oh?"
Old man Cedric looked at Chen Mu with his hazy eyes. He was suspicious: "I remember you, the little guy from yesterday! Are you sure you completed the task in just one day? Two tasks?" The old man said Although he is dying, his mind is not confused.
Chen Mu didn¡¯t take it seriously for the old man¡¯s suspicion and replied affirmatively: ¡°Yes! This is a mission item.¡±
Chen Mu didn¡¯t make any extra explanation. He directly handed over two thick pieces of kraft paper. These two mission materials were prepared by Chen Mu on the road. In addition to the words narrated by Chen Mu himself, there are also many mural pictures. For this reason, Chen Mu also made a special trip to the Yasha Temple, where he printed many images recorded by the camera elves.Materials.
The Asha Temple is the direct channel for players to communicate with the indigenous people and the system. According to the system, the player's arrival is also completed through this Asha Temple. Therefore, for the indigenous people, although the player's appearance is a bit abrupt, it is still within their acceptance range.
"Well, let me take a good look" Old man Cedric muttered. He reached out and grabbed the two paper bags, took out a pair of glasses and put them on, and then began to examine them carefully.
Old man Cedric is not an easy person. As soon as he saw those old murals, he immediately caught some clues from them.
As an experienced person, he felt that the little guy in front of him might have discovered a relic, but Cedric's face remained calm. He read the two documents calmly, and then commented nonchalantly: "Yes, these have been The requirements of the mission have been met! And all the pictures have the emblem of the Temple of Asha, but"
As Cedric spoke, his tone suddenly changed, and then he looked confused: "We still need to send people to verify these things on the spot before we can finally confirm them! But in this information, I did not find the specific location. , you have to tell me before I can send someone over"
Old man Cedric¡¯s words sound reasonable and reasonable. If you are an ordinary player, you will definitely be fooled by this old man, and then follow his ideas and tell all the secrets. But unfortunately, he met Chen Mu!
To be honest, old man Cedric¡¯s behavior was definitely a trick in front of Guan Gong. Chen Mu couldn't find such a small plan or trick. Chen Mu has encountered many cunning people, and there are countless people who are more bluffing than Cedric.
Chen Mu could tell right away that the old man¡¯s real purpose was the tomb he had just explored, but Chen Mu would not be stupid enough to get entangled with the old man over it.
"This is really difficult!" Chen Mu also pretended to sigh, and at the same time, his face showed just the right amount of surprise and regret, "I found these things in a ruins outside the city, a few days ago. Before, I didn¡¯t realize their importance. At that time, I thought these murals were special, so I took a photo to commemorate them! However, after I received the mission, I went to check again and found that all the murals there had been taken away! "
Chen Mu gave full play to his talent and experience, and made these random things appear as if they were true. Even old man Cedric couldn't help but fall into Chen Mu's lies when he saw the trace of disappointment on Chen Mu's face and the annoyance in his eyes.
If players heard Chen Mu's explanation, they might still be suspicious; but old man Cedric did not doubt him and directly believed Chen Mu's explanation, and in turn comforted Chen Mu: "Little guy, although These murals are worth a lot of money, but don¡¯t take it to heart! Opportunities are everywhere, and I believe that as long as you work hard, you will definitely get more opportunities in the future!¡±
The reason why Chen Mu's answer was accepted by this cunning old man was that, in addition to Chen Mu's realistic performance, the more important reason was that Chen Mu's words were exactly in line with the thoughts of the aborigines. Because it is now an open secret among the aborigines to excavate relics!
What Chen Mu said happened to hit this point, and old man Cedric was intentionally led to this point by Chen Mu. He naturally came to the conclusion that someone had dug up the ruins. A normal person usually has no doubts about the conclusions he has drawn, so Chen Mu's lies are the truth in the eyes of the old man.
While old man Cedric comforted Chen Mu, he sighed secretly: "Oh! What a pity! I thought I could trick the little guy into getting the relic" He quickly threw the relic into the garbage heap of memory. Here, the aborigines all know that the ruins that have been excavated must not be touched again! This has almost become their unspoken rule.
"Little guy, although your experience is pitiable, I have to tell you some unpleasant news." Old man Cedric said apologetically again, "Because it cannot be verified, you can only get 80% of the bonus in the end. .¡±
Old man Cedric opened and closed his lips and cut off one-fifth of Chen Mu's gold, and he looked as if he should do it. Although this stingy old man looks calm, he is not merciless at all when killing people, and he will not let go of even a small amount of money. This has become his habit, and if there were no rules in private, he would definitely be more vicious.
"you¡¡"
Chen Mu was immediately furious. He glared at Cedric and said angrily: "Old man, you are really bullying me!" Chen Mu's temper was definitely not bad, but this time he was Directly speaking harshly, the old man really touched Chen Mu's bottom line: Old Cedric bullied him so blatantly!
With a fierce move, he directly peeled off the layer of skin on the old man's face. He said in a cold voice: "Don't think that I am the descendant, just pretend that I don't know the tricks inside! There is no such clause in the mission! Moreover, according to industry regulations, the commission is generally less than 5%, and most of the time it is paid by the task entrusting party"
