Full-Time Magister: Summoning Agumon at the Start
Chapter 162 Commissioned Tasks
Upon hearing that the commission was located near the Magic City, Lin Chen greeted Liu Daren, the director of the Research Department, and then summoned Garurumon to quickly head towards the hotel.
As Lin Chen entered the hotel, he was about to take the elevator to his room when he noticed Lingling sitting at the bar on the right side of the hotel's huge auditorium on the first floor, her short legs swinging back and forth.
"Lingling, what's going on? People from the Magic City are coming all the way to the Magic City to commission missions. It's not like the Magic City doesn't have private hunting grounds." Lin Chen walked to the opposite side of Lingling, sat down, and asked.
"Someone in Shanghai commissioned us to do a mission in the Magic City. Since we were both here, Grandpa just sent it to me."
As Lingling spoke, she turned her mini computer toward Lin Chen, letting him carefully read the contents of the order form, while she picked up the juice on her left and drank it.
Lin Chen read very quickly, skimming through the document, and finished reading the contents of the order form in no time.
"This client needs us to collect treasures for him at a specific location, and it's urgent. The commission must be expensive," Lin Chen asked after reading the commission document but not finding a specific amount.
"The treasure the client needs is of great value itself, and Grandpa signed a supplementary agreement with him." Lingling took a sip of juice, held it in her hand, and said to Lin Chen, "The commission price for this operation is five million, and the money has already been transferred to our account. Each treasure is worth three million, the more the better."
"The mission is worth five million, and the treasure is worth three million. This mission is pretty good!" Lin Chen's eyes sparkled.
After the disaster in the magical city ended, Lin Chen's reward for killing and capturing the Black Vatican had reached six or seven hundred million, making him a veritable tycoon. However, not all of this money had been deposited into his account yet. In addition, Lin Chen still had five Digimon to raise. Of course, the more money the better. Even if he couldn't strengthen a Digimon for the time being, it would still be good to improve their diet.
"I'll head to the target location now and try to collect as many treasures as possible. Even if the person who commissioned me can't finish them, selling them to the Hunter's Alliance or the Magic Association would be fine too," Lin Chen said, flipping through the commission form again to confirm the self-marked location for this mission.
"Pingdu Mountain, what a familiar name." Lin Chen looked at the three words "Pingdu Mountain," the location of the treasure in the entrustment letter, with a puzzled expression in his eyes.
"Pingdu Mountain is a famous mountain in Shandu, you must be familiar with it," Lingling replied.
"Shandu, is there a ghost on that mountain?" Lin Chen asked subconsciously.
"Ghosts? Of course there are. Shandu Mingshan is the place with the most undead creatures in our country, apart from the ancient capital. Otherwise, the client wouldn't have hired our Qingtian Hunting Grounds and offered such a high price," Lingling said, rolling her eyes at Lin Chen.
"Oh dear, this request is way too late," Lin Chen exclaimed, slamming his right fist into his left palm.
"Why are you making such a fuss?" Lingling rolled her eyes at Lin Chen again.
"If the client had entrusted this task to us earlier, the Bone Wolf might still be here. Taking it to Pingdu Mountain would definitely be effective against those undead creatures, and this mission might have been completed in no time," Lin Chen said.
"I took a look. The treasure the client needs is called the Netherworld Fruit. According to the location of its growth as stated in the commission letter, it is obviously not deep in Pingdu Mountain. At most, the undead active nearby are commander-level spirits. You can handle it perfectly well. Besides, Grandpa would never give you a task that is beyond your capabilities."
As Lingling spoke, she turned her mini computer back and, after a series of operations on the computer, sent a map to Lin Chen.
"Just follow this route. It's the most convenient and fastest route I generated based on the destination given in the letter of authorization."
Lin Chen turned on his phone, opened the file Lingling had sent, and a route map pointing directly to the destination appeared.
"Lingling, aren't you going?" Lin Chen looked up at Lingling curiously. Lingling usually liked to come along when they took on missions.
"This is just a normal collection mission, there's no difficulty at all. Why should I come along? You can handle it by yourself," Lingling muttered while drinking her juice.
After quickly packing his things, Lin Chen boarded a car alone bound for Fengdu City. As for Liu Lin and the others, they had already returned to their previous city to continue working as "city management officers" after the disaster in the Magic City ended.
Upon arriving in Fengdu City, Lin Chen boarded a bus bound for the important town of Shandu.
Upon arriving at the important town of Shandu, Lin Chen did not linger and headed directly towards the gate leading to the outside of the safety barrier.
"Hey! Young man, are you out of your mind?!"
Just as Lin Chen was about to step out of the town's gate, a shout came from behind him.
The next second, Lin Chen's left hand was grabbed and pulled back with all his might.
Lin Chen turned his head to look back and found that the person grabbing his left hand was a burly man with a full beard. But at this moment, a look of panic appeared on his face, as if there was something terrifying on the other side of the door.
"Uncle, what's outside? Why are you so scared?" Lin Chen asked the bearded man in front of him curiously. He had come to Anjie Town, and judging from his clothes, he was obviously a mage who lived in the wild. Why was he afraid of the demons outside?
"Of course I'm not afraid of a hundred days, but it's getting dark now," the bearded man said with a serious expression.
"It's getting dark, but what does it matter?"
Lin Chen looked at the sun in the sky, which was now setting below the horizon. It wouldn't be long before the sky darkened. It seemed that he had spent quite a bit of time traveling from the Magic City to the important town of Shandu.
"Young man, you're not from around here, are you?" the bearded man said.
"Yes, I just arrived in Shandu, a major city." Lin Chen nodded. "Uncle, what do people do here after dark?"
"Young man, this is Shandu Mingshan, the second largest gathering place for undead creatures in our country after the ancient capital. What do you think they'll do at night?" The bearded man looked at Lin Chen with annoyance.
Lin Chen immediately looked enlightened; it turned out the bearded man was worried he would encounter a large number of undead that night.
In fact, Lin Chen had also thought about this problem, but as Lingling said, his destination was not too far from Shandu Mingshan, so he would not encounter any monarch-level undead.
As for those commander-level undead, they could easily handle them themselves. Besides, how could the undead be as fast as Garurumon?
If he moves fast enough, he can return to the Realm of Peace with the Netherworld Fruit before the undead catch up with him.
However, after the bearded uncle's kind reminder, Lin Chen decided not to enter Anjiewai after dark and planned to rest for the night before heading to Shandu Mingshan.
