Keep attacking girls and try not to be killed by them

Taking Lu Ling with her and calling the butler Butler, Vanessa packed her luggage and prepared to leave the craftsman's holy land, Shopwock City, and rush to Henkel Town.

She believed that with her communication and negotiation skills, she might be able to obtain materials from the "Southern Caravan" in advance without having to complete the escort mission.

But what Vanessa didn't know was that shortly after she left the Mission Guild, the kind receptionist secretly tied a letter to the leg of a carrier pigeon and released it.

——(Boss Mossen, this time I'm sending you a beautiful piece of high-end merchandise. Please don't be stingy with the reward you deserve~ Hehehe~)

The receptionist's philistine face displayed a sinister smile that would scare a child to tears.

Not long after Vanessa left the Task Union's Shopwock City branch, two more young girls entered this deserted Task Union.

The receptionist initially thought she was hallucinating, because how could girls from other places appear in their sparsely populated and run-down place?

However, the people are real people, and the voices are real voices that echo.

After confirming that what she saw and heard was real, the receptionist was overjoyed.

——(This pie is about to fall from the sky, it’s really too late to catch it~!)

"My two sisters, are you reward hunters here to accept commissions? Or are you clients here to issue commissions?" the receptionist asked enthusiastically.

"Hello, we are here to accept a commission. No need for reception. We can just go to the commission announcement column ourselves."

The fox girl in the lead showed the competence of an old reward hunter. She politely declined the receptionist's enthusiasm and then pulled the one-eyed girl beside her into the hall.

Seeing this, the receptionist did not force them and allowed the two to go in and check the commission release column.

Because she knew in her heart that no matter what the purpose of these two people entering this task union was, they would eventually come back to her to "accept" her deception.

——(Hehehe, Boss Moshen, with so many beautiful girls, you’ll have a lot to do next~)

·

In the lobby of the Task Union's Shopwock City branch, the fox-man girl Emilia and the tiger-man girl Heloise were carefully reading each posted commission in front of the commission announcement board.

As for why these two girls, who were supposed to be crafting and purchasing equipment, came here to accept the commission, the reason is actually very simple and can be summed up in three words: they realized too late how poor they were.

Time goes back to this morning. The high-spirited Heloise and the equally expectant Emilia walked onto the streets of Shopwock, the holy land of craftsmen.

The two of them had similar goals, but soon encountered their first disagreement in their paths of action.

Emilia thought they should look for small shops in remote locations. According to her experience, it was often in such shops that one could buy good equipment at a low price.

Heloise believed that the guidance of the Evil Tiger King God all pointed to the grand and large shops, which meant that the craftsmen and equipment they were looking for must be in the large shops.

11.08 - Ways to make money

The two girls each held an opinion and disagreed with each other's point of view.

The solution to this disagreement is very easy, which is to visit both big and small stores.

After a morning of running around and asking questions, Emilia and Heloise were both silenced by the cruel reality.

No matter whether it is a big store or a small store;

In the crowded places...in the remote and quiet alleys...in this huge craftsman's holy land, Shopwock City, there is no equipment they can afford!

·

Ahem, sorry, sorry, Emilia and Heloise are a little excited.

·

To be precise, it’s not that Emilia and the others can’t afford any equipment, but the price of any piece of equipment that meets their needs is far beyond their affordability - not to mention buying all the equipment they need.

Taking the staff that Emilia wanted as an example, her needs were actually not high. After all, she had just been promoted to the fourth level not long ago, and she would not ask for those high-level staffs that could greatly enhance her strength.

However, even the most basic entry-level "Intermediate Magic Wand" starts at eighty silver coins, which is equivalent to the price of a third-level magic book!

You know, in the Prison Star world, for a magician, the importance of a staff is far less than that of a magic book.

After learning that the "Intermediate Magic Wand" in the craftsman's holy land, Shopwock City, was so expensive, Emilia felt that her current "Improved Sycamore Wood Wand" could still be used.

[Note: Improved paulownia wood staff, passive effect, increases magic attack power by 50 points]

·

You don't have to rush to buy the magic wand, but equipment that enhances survivability is a rigid demand of Emilia.

At this stage, she has always been working as a team with Heloise, and it is estimated that this will continue for a long time to come.

Their combination of magician and assassin is quite effective in sneak attacks, but as soon as they enter into positional warfare or are ambushed by the enemy, they are doomed.

Therefore, Emilia has been thinking about how to improve her survivability, so as to reduce the need for Heloise to cover her and attract fire.

It would be great if she could buy boots like Benning's that allow teleportation - Emilia had such an unrealistic thought before stepping into the equipment store in Shopwock City.

After looking around, he actually found her a pair of magic boots with similar skills, but the price was as "dreamy" as the skills.

·

The escape boots, which cost three gold coins a pair, ended Emilia's daydream.

The total property of her and Heloise was only one gold coin and twenty-four silver coins, which was not enough to buy even a single pair of boots.

After asking for prices for a whole morning, the two girls, who had no idea about the prices in Shopwock, the holy land of craftsmen, finally realized the gap between reality and their dreams.

However, if they retreated because of this level of difficulty, they would not be Emilia and Heloise.

Regardless of whether she could afford it or not, Emilia wrote down the prices first and then made a shopping list.

Emilia's own needs are:

Entry-level intermediate magic wand: Feather sandalwood wand, priced at ninety silver coins, reduces magic power consumption by one tenth;

A Weird Rabbit Fur Mage Robe, priced at 70 silver coins, increases the wearer's agility and overall resistance.

The Burrowing Hamster Escape Boots, priced at three gold coins, have an active skill, "Shrinking the Earth," which instantly moves 15 meters in a specified direction.

·

Heloise's need is to recast the "Corrupted Dagger·Poison Dragon Claw", and she needs to ask the craftsmen for this.

After some understanding, Heloise's favorite proposal was the "Cold Poison Dagger" proposed by one of the most famous craftsmen in the craftsman's holy land, the city of Shopwock: the silversmith Mr. Smith.

This master craftsman who is good at using silver as a material to create equipment can not only retain the original skills of the "Corrupted Dagger·Poison Dragon Claw", but also introduce the "Ice Attribute" on this basis using "silver" as a medium, thereby enhancing the power of the "Corrupted Dagger·Poison Dragon Claw" and the success rate of poisoning.

In addition, the "Corrupted Dagger" with ice attributes has a certain probability of slowing down the enemy, which is undoubtedly what Heloise needs.

So, Heloise was satisfied with the plan, but the price was something she could not afford.

Mr. Smith happened to have enough materials on hand to reforge the "Corrupted Dagger" for Heloise, but the total price was as high as two gold coins and fifty silver coins.

Therefore, Heloise had no choice but to return in shame and reunite with Emilia.

Emilia calculated that the total demand of the two people was seven gold coins plus ten silver coins. This was a huge sum of money, a huge sum that neither Emilia nor Heloise had ever had in their lives.

For these two people who have no concept of saving, the only way to get this money to realize their wish is to earn it.

That's why Emilia and Heloise appeared at the Task Union branch in Shopwalk City.

·

"These commissions...are not suitable for either of us..."

Emilia muttered to herself as she looked at the parchments posted on the commission board.

For Emilia and Heloise, as outsiders, they cannot accept the time-consuming and low-risk collection commissions.

Not only does the collection commission require extensive local experience, but the biggest problem is that it will leave both of them with insufficient income to make ends meet.

As long as they stayed in the city of Shopwock, Emilia and Heloise would inevitably have expenses. Just relying on the income from the collection commissions, they would not be able to save enough to earn seven gold coins even if they worked here for several years.

If you choose to commission a subjugation, the rewards posted on the commission release column are all for monsters of level 4 or 5 or above.

This is still too dangerous for Emilia and Heloise, who are only at the early fourth level.

—(These subjugation requests are so long in the past...are there no local bounty hunters capable of taking them on?)

Emilia looked around and once again noticed the deserted state of the quest guild.

Based on her experience working at the Sunny Town Task Union branch, she knew that the Shopwock City Task Union branch might not be able to complete a single commission in a whole day.

"Emilia, here is a wish to conclude a mission of protection."

At this time, Heloise pointed out to Emilia a guard commission posted in the corner, and judging from the date, this commission was a new commission that was just released this month.

"Southern Caravan...Henkel Town...This commission seems quite good. At least it can earn us some money for food."

Emilia nodded and planned to find the staff to learn the details of the commission.

Unexpectedly, the receptionist who was at the door suddenly appeared and asked with a smile if there was anything she could do for me.

——(This auntie is really enthusiastic... Is this quest guild so enthusiastic because they are short of people to take on commissions?)

Emilia subconsciously took two steps back, and then began to ask the receptionist about the details of the escort commission.
