Chapter 237 Broken Bottle Chamber of Commerce
Dachun enters the astrology shop.

Apparently, an event has been triggered, and only Dachun can enter, while the two great gods are kept out.

The old lady sat at the table and took out the crystal ball: "Young man, I haven't seen you for ten days. You have changed a lot, and there are too many rumors about you."

Dachun was a little nervous: "Is the change good or bad?"

The old lady shook her head: "There is no good or bad, only goals and choices - look at this ball!"

Dachun stared at the ball, and a blurry water mass appeared in the ball. There was a blurry red island in the water mass, and the shadows of several big fish were flying around.

Dachun's heart was shocked. This was clearly the water ball wrapped by the power of the whale, now the power of the whale god! This big fish is my 6th Sea Soul!

Holy shit! My Ailian contract space was discovered by her just like that?
The old lady asked Dachun with a burning gaze: "Young man, do you know what this is?"

Are you testing me or asking me?

Dachun's scalp tingled under the stare, but he couldn't take the initiative to reveal the secret: "It's the result of my cultivation."

The old lady exclaimed, "The results are excellent. Compared to the empty shell you were in ten days ago, your soul has been remarkably enriched. As long as you continue to enrich it, you will achieve a breakthrough."

Holy shit! She's truly the second person to discover Ellen after the old nun! Of course, I can't guarantee she discovered Ellen directly, but being able to discover this water ball of whale power is incredible!

Dachun wanted to get to the bottom of it no matter what: "In fact, I have met many strong people these days, and none of them noticed anything different about me. Why did you see it at first glance?"

The old lady smiled. "First, it's a matter of preconception. I remember your condition ten days ago and can compare. Second, it's about professional expertise. My job is to observe the masses. Would the powerful people you know pay attention to those who are far inferior to them?"

It is also true that those in high positions ignore the suffering of the people, and the strong often ignore the existence of the weak...

Dachun understood: "I'm glad to hear your advice! So, what do you want from me?"

The old lady said solemnly, "The old drunkard at the shipyard said that if you, as a scavenger, have any tasks related to exorcism, come to me and I will give you the relevant tasks. So I have a task that you must complete. Hunt down the Dark Soul Witch. I will lend you this prophetic crystal ball!"

——System prompt: You have obtained the astrologer’s mission “Hunting the Dark Soul Witch”.

- Prediction Crystal Ball: A rental quest artifact, bound to the quest. It can randomly predict the location of the Dark Soul Witch from time to time, and can also predict the Dark Soul Witch's attack pattern in advance during battle.

——System prompt: The prophecy crystal ball currently predicts that the Dark Soul Witch will appear in the Gem Starlight City.

The next moment, a blurry cloaked figure appeared on the crystal ball.

Dachun was stunned: "Who is this Dark Soul Witch? Why do I have to complete it?"

The old lady said, "You will understand. Your scavenger skills are very high. Keep up the good work. You also have a lot of jewelry on you, similar to my crystal ball. If you learn how to use it well, you will be able to unleash its power."

Damn, she saw all the beads on me!
Dachun asked hurriedly, "Do I need to learn jewelry processing to unleash the power of jewelry?"

The old lady nodded: "It will help, but do it within your ability. Go ahead."

Uh... do I really have to go to Gem City to do jewelry crafting? Where would I find the time?

But no matter what, I got a crystal ball for the artifact mission for free.

……

When Dachun went out, thousands of people gathered at the door, eagerly waiting to see him.

As soon as I leave the house, they will crush the astrology shop to pieces the next moment!

The two gods helped him up directly: "Brother Chun, tavern?"

"Yeah, the tavern."

The next moment, Ailian's voice rang out in Dachun's ears: "So it's her! I've seen this Dark Soul Witch before. The breakthrough array recorded in my diary was purchased from her!" Dachun was startled: "Is she the old witch you mentioned who has exchanged hundreds of cannon fodder for bodyguards throughout her life?"

Ailian said coldly: "Yes! It seems that I was deceived to death by her, and I am probably not the only one deceived! She must die, and this mission must be completed!"

——System prompt: You have obtained Ailian's evil spirit contract mission "Kill the Dark Soul Witch"...

It turns out to be related to Ailian. This old lady knows everything?
Dachun asked in surprise, "Did the old lady notice you?"

Ailian said, "Probably not. I hid well. Her crystal ball is probably equivalent to my magic mirror. You see, the crystal ball is like a magic mirror. I exposed myself. Don't listen to the charlatans easily in the future."

Dachun was stunned: "She is very powerful, how could she be a charlatan?"

Ailian said bitterly: "I used to think that the Dark Soul Witch was very powerful, so I was deceived to death!"

Dachun asked hurriedly: "So is she really that powerful?"

Ailian said in a deep voice: "It is indeed very powerful."

Well, I thought it was just a character mentioned in the diary, but I didn't expect that there would be such a big mission. This game is simply amazing...

Dachun was helpless: "There are many masters here observing the common people. You'd better hide well and don't make any noise."

"I see. Only thieves and pickpockets like to observe others. You should pay attention too."

Is it true that a pickpocket will pop up and deliberately come over to cause trouble and steal the precious orb, holy artifact, hoe and rope?
Dachun's heart tightened: "Please also help me keep an eye out for pickpockets..."

But looking at the tens of thousands of players crowded around, Dachun suddenly felt a sense of security. He thought that the NPC thieves would not come so conspicuously to steal, right?

……

Deep in the alley, the awnings hanging from the rooftops of the tall buildings on both sides of the street cast a dark and gloomy shadow. However, with the noise of the tens of thousands of players following, the alley lost its pretense and became completely terrifying.

Then I saw a sign in front of me that said "Bar Weapon" with a broken bottle bottom.

Dachun and two others entered.

The tavern was ablaze with lewd dancing and a riot of colour, while a group of people were playing cards in silence. Then they all looked at Dachun and the other two.

Holy shit! With these ugly faces, they are all villains!
Dachun was too weak to look at him, and hurried to the shopkeeper: "I'm here--"

Without waiting for Dachun to say anything, the shopkeeper tossed a token at him. System prompt: Warning! Your reputation has been recognized by the Broken Bottle Tavern, granting you a Level 1 Broken Bottle Guild Token. This Token is bound to the Guild Master and cannot be transferred. Members who join the Guild will receive a -1000 reputation penalty.

The Chamber of Commerce’s main business: hiring thugs and collecting debts.

……

Holy crap! Debt collection? Could it be tailor-made for Biliana's debt collection?

Dachun was in disbelief and asked the shopkeeper knowingly, "I didn't complete any tasks, and you just gave it to me?"

The shopkeeper laughed and said, "Be more confident. You're a known jerk! Work hard to recruit people and improve the organization's reputation. We have special equipment for you to exchange."

Dachun was stunned: "How do we improve the organization's reputation?"

The shopkeeper laughed and said, "Don't worry about it. When you become the guild leader, other bastards who don't like you will naturally come and cause trouble for you. Beat them up!"

What the hell!
