Chapter 373 News about the second uncle
Game time PM19:13
North of Kalan City, Central Avenue, Wanderer Hotel
“It’s another day when no one comes... …”
Have The girl with long, straight black hair in a maid uniform muttered something in a low voice, and then continued to wave the broom quickly under the magic crystal lamp decorated with warm-colored plants, humming a tune that was occasionally mixed with two "goo" sounds, and wiped those thin An almost negligible amount of dust is driven out of the door.
Although it has been many days since Mo Tan left the city, the Weiyang girl who holds multiple jobs such as the second housekeeper, waiter, cleaner, cashier, and front desk of the Kalan City Hotel has not changed much. She is still wearing the black and white maid outfit that was adapted from the real world. She has a mysophobia that cannot tolerate a trace of dust, a sweet smile with a sugar level of nine plus, and a bad attitude towards anyone who tries to come in and get free tea.
"Is there anyone?"
Jun Wu, who was lying on the rocking chair behind the counter and reading a book, slowly poked his head out and raised his hand to push his doctor's prescription. Looking at the golden mirror, he asked his sister in confusion: "I remember that there were many people here today. Did you remember it wrong?"
The bookish half-elf boss also Nothing has changed, I wear what he wears every day The red robe that he had never changed was huddled behind the counter and reading a book, but the scope of his research was a bit wider than before. The book "Deaf Pig Z" that Mo Tan saw when he first came here (actually not long after) had already They were replaced by various free flyers with no features other than the words on them. It can be seen that the financial situation of the Wanderer Hostel in Kalan City is indeed very unoptimistic...
"Did I remember wrong? ”
Weiyang shook the pair of light gray wings behind him, frowned and thought for a long time before turning to Jun Wu and asked: "Um, is there any single income of more than twenty copper coins today?"
Jun Wu didn't even open the money box behind the counter, and replied without thinking: "Since the day before yesterday, the merchant was tricked by you into buying two dyed Nikachu whose names were changed to 'bamboo rats' After that, there was no customer who spent more than ten copper coins."
Wei Yang shrugged and said briskly as he trotted back the broom, "I remember that right."
“Huh?”
“Those who spend less than twenty copper coins are not counted as people, so today is also a day without guests.”
Weiyang inserted it into her waist in a reasonable manner, holding a rag between her fingers.
Jun Wu laughed dryly: "Speaking of which, Weiyang, when did you awaken to other hobbies besides workaholics? Okay, okay, take a long-term view and don't be greedy for small temporary profits. By the way, drink the wine. Just change it to free tea refills, um...two refills, plus free snacks."
"That's so generous..."
Wei Yang just took it. He passed a plate that was clean enough to reflect light and put it in his hand to wipe it. His tone was quite calm: "What are you planning on?"
Jun Wu pushed his eyes gently and said seriously: " I just want the guests to feel the warmth of home and increase our popularity.”
Weiyang smiled and asked without raising his head: "Then Gu?"
"Then? Well, since there are good teas that can be refilled for free, then don't offer another copper coin. It’s clear water to drink, and it must be really popular if guests can drink three cups of tea for free, so the unit price is increased by two copper coins.” Jun Wu lay on the rocking chair and said lazily: “It’s a free gift. Don’t be careless about snacks. Be sure to add more ingredients, especially salt. Salt is a good thing. Not to mention clearing fire, protecting teeth, anti-inflammation, and beautifying. It can also cure constipation, kill bacteria, remove athlete’s foot, and maintain the osmotic pressure of extracellular fluid. Participate in the regulation of acid-base balance in the body. For the health of the guests, we must do more."
Wei Yang stopped what he was doing, tilted his head and asked: "Are you sure these theories also apply in the game? Gu?”
“Whether it’s suitable or not is none of our business?”
Jun Wu folded his legs lazily and chuckled: “Anyway, if someone asks you why you snack? So Xian, you answer like I just said, tell them this is what the famous great pharmacist Kui Wei Lianshan said personally. If they don’t know, just let them read the book, but don’t tell them what book it is.”
Weiyang chuckled and nodded happily: "Is there anything else you want to add?"
"Well, add some cold melon slices to the tea."
"What is that for?" ?”
“It’s good for your health. I’ve read a book called “Common Ingredients” by Qishou before. It said that cold melon has many excellent qualities. It’s not only cheap, but also nutritious. It’s not easy to gain weight...”
Boss Jun looked like One For All, and finally added with a chuckle: “It’s also a diuretic.”
Weiyang was startled: "What?"
Jun Wufeng shook his head lightly: "Nothing, starting from tomorrow, the hotel's bathroom will officially charge, um, cleaning fee, one copper coin per use. If you buy ten times, you will get one free. If there are many people on a day, it will be troublesome to clean if there are too many people. It will be fine if the price is temporarily increased."
Wei Yang reacted and then said to Jun. Wu gave a thumbs up, feeling that his younger brother, who usually did not even want to compete as a class leader, was really very responsible and responsible after becoming the boss!
At this moment...
Jun Wu, who was lying lazily on the rocking chair, suddenly sat up suddenly, his eyes were dull, and he murmured in a low voice: "Here he comes!"
"What's going on?"
Weiyang didn't react for a while and looked at Jun Wu curiously.
The latter was silent for a while, and then turned around and gave an uneasy smile: "Here comes the news about that bastard, he is simply not a human being!"
Wei Yang chuckled. , sitting on the counter with fluttering wings, shaking his calves and sighing: "The second uncle still cares about our Gu, lest we fail to catch up with this opportunity for promotion Gu~"
"How can we not catch up..." "Jun Wu smacked his lips, raised his forehead and said: "Although the headquarters did not express its position and just asked us to keep up our efforts, the completion level is actually written on the task bar. "
He subconsciously opened the menu bar and glanced at the most conspicuous item in the task bar...
[Shortcut]
Epic Quest
Quest content : Provide one or more pieces of A-level intelligence with a comprehensive value equivalent to A-level information to the headquarters of Wanderer Hostel within fifteen days.
Current completion level: 167%
The following is abbreviated
[Note: Hey, hey, it is an epic mission after all, can you give me a little face? 】
That’s right, it’s 167% complete. I simply modified the content that Tan Mo sent last time (such as disabled girls, eighteen bans, etc.) and submitted it. This looks like The epic task, which was very difficult to complete at first, exceeded half of its completion level the next day. At that time, Boss Jun was punished, and the task notes seemed to be easier...
And Jun Wu had already He told Mo Tan that he had overfulfilled the task and was now just waiting for the results to come out after the task time limit. Since then, he has not contacted him again.
As a result, at this moment, he actually received another piece of extremely important news.
“Continuing from last time, the investigation team found some clues in Mercury City, the core of the Marshall Territory and the foundation of the Marshall family. However, although it is related to the slave trade, there is no evidence that this matter is related to the Marshall family. There is a direct connection, so when the investigation team returned to Salamoon, Duke Buffy Marshall was lifted from house arrest. Futaba, a disabled girl who was the consultant of the Fire Claw Territory, was greatly affected and stole the high-level magic items located in Mercury Court. After returning to the Red Court, although Buffy Marshall insisted at the Supreme Council that he "needs to take responsibility" and promised a large amount of compensation to the Fire Claws, if he is indeed directly related to the slave hunting and trafficking, these losses will It is definitely worth it, provided that the Fire Claw Leader really intends to take over this (suspected) blood-stained olive branch.
After the meeting, relying on the clues discovered by the investigation team in Mercury City, the empire's top officials moved as quickly as possible. Du organized a temporary army composed of Marshall, Crystal Wolf, Simon, Baroka and Violet family troops, and raided the 'Silver Cake' Chamber of Commerce Wood Processing Factory located on the edge of the Dark Jungle, which was a suspected slave transfer station. But the only person in charge and insider there, Sakfris, suddenly exploded on the spot, suspected of committing suicide.
Three days later, the third Violet Supreme Meeting began. Due to the sudden interruption of the clues, during the brief discussion. After that, the matter was about to come to an end for the time being...
However, at this moment, a bard who called himself Anthony Dabbs broke into the Purple Jiu Hall and brought someone who should have died. Sackfrees.
After investigation, the real name of this half-elf 'Anthony Dabus' is Tan Mo. His strength and background are unknown. He is suspected to be closely related to the recent incident of the cultist in Hofer City in the Northeast China. This person's whereabouts are mysterious, difficult to contact, and he has a close relationship with Violet. None of the nine major families have any contact with each other, and their sudden appearance in Salamun seems to have another purpose.
The appearance of Sackfrees immediately overturned the situation. He revealed that his true identity was the second-class deacon of the underground chamber of commerce "Viper" and the person in charge of the slave transfer station code-named "Black Mercury". He was mainly responsible for dealing with The slave buyers in the northeastern continent have maintained a cooperative relationship with the Marshall family for more than ten years, and have a certain understanding of the two slave-catching groups under their command. After proving that he is indeed Sakfrith, he was about to Buffy Marshall, who escaped from the core of the storm, immediately fell into absolute passivity.
On the same day, after the Supreme Council ended, Duke Buffy Marshall and his entourage were again under house arrest in Mercury Court. According to the information provided by the informant, the nine lords will attack Marshall on the seventh day from that day. The family goes on trial.
In addition, Tan Mo, who used the pseudonym ‘Anthony Dabbs’, returned to the Red Garden with the disabled girl Futaba that day. Anthony did not return all night and did not leave until late the next night, and then lost news again.
That's probably what happened. If you two submit this information, the completion of the task should be enough to break through 200%. The extremely low probability of getting the 'Free City Night Zone Dormitory Boss' is also It was a done deal. I asked an old friend who used to live there about the night-free area of the Free City. I heard that the location was very good, and I felt it should be very promising.
By the way, no third person knows about my dealings with you two, so unless you take the initiative to leak it, no one will know that 'Anthony Dabbs' or 'Tan Mo' has anything to do with the Kallan City Hotel. Relationship, when I went to Black Tower City to deliver the letter, my pseudonym was 'Gulland Fard', and my identity was your second uncle. I think that boss Blaine must have told you. In short, don't worry about us. This relationship will be seen through by others.
Next, if you people at the Wanderer Hostel headquarters are not hopelessly mentally retarded, they will definitely send someone over to understand the situation after you report this news. After all, the early performance was mediocre. And it's not normal for you two to get this kind of information without leaving home, but it doesn't matter, I have already thought of the excuse for you in advance. Okay...
If anyone asks you about the source of your intelligence, either directly or in a roundabout way, tell them straightforwardly that you two know a human man named Link Zelda, whose face He is cold and stern. He looks about thirty years old. His strength is not obvious. He saved your brother and your sister's life by chance a few years ago.
Some time ago, not long after you became the person in charge of the Kalan City Hotel, Mr. Link suddenly appeared in front of you, asking for the box that had been sent to Black Tower City, knowing that it was no longer in your hands. Then he left.
Before leaving, Link expressed his willingness to occasionally provide intelligence to you and your siblings, on the condition that when he needs to know something, you will help him as an insider of the Wanderer Hotel, and he will also Being willing to pay for the information requested is not a violation of industry rules, at best it is just a back door.
I believe that no matter which Wanderer Inn on the road you are in charge of, there will definitely be several intelligence suppliers with relatively good connections, so they will not embarrass you because of the existence of 'Link Zelda'. On the contrary, they can If you get connected with this well-informed and mysterious figure, the senior officials may pay more attention to you.
Hehe~ I believe that the transaction between us will officially begin soon.
In the future, for this kind of valuable information, you can use Link as a cover and ask for some benefits, information or resources from the hotel in his name. Of course, when I need it, I have to take priority when the time comes.
From next time, Link Zelda may start to make requests, but it is not directed at you~
If they investigate this person carefully afterwards, they should take more care of you. .
Okay, then I wish you both a promotion and a fortune~
The letter containing these two pieces of information should be sent to you soon. After receiving it, you can report the news. Letters can be used as evidence, and they can also make a statement.
I may go to Black Tower City in a while. If you haven't been transferred by then, I will drop by to see you.
If you have been transferred, then see you in the City of Freedom.
Well, that's it, go ahead and do what you have to do. Don't send me messages if you have nothing to do. I'm very busy recently.
——Your loyal second uncle: Gu Lande Farde"
Jun Wu and Weiyang looked at each other, feeling dizzy and unable to say a word for a while...
They feel like they underestimated that guy.
What’s all this nonsense?
