Mr. Baiyi carefully looked at the healing energy in her hand and nodded, "Alright, healing types are pretty rare, but youâre still at Bronze Middle Tier. I can give you two hundred fifty Gold Coins a month."
Aileen forced a smile on her face, "Haha, I told you Luoningâs prophecy wasnât accurate. He said I was destined to be poor, but here I am, striking gold!"
Mr. Baiyi: "But youâve been sleeping most of this month, those days count as absenteeism, so first, weâll deduct fifty Gold Coins!"
Aileen: ....
"Damn it! Iâm awakening my talent! How could you do this! Thatâs my hard-earned money!" Aileen suddenly perked up, looking at Mr. Baiyi with a face full of grievance.
Mr. Baiyi slightly raised his head, asking from on high, "Just say whether youâve done any work or not!"
"Well, it seems I havenât.... Haah~" Aileen yawned as she spoke, stood up, and walked towards the room, muttering softly, "Damned capitalist, it seems my talent hasnât fully awakened yet. When it does, Iâll come out and bite you!"
"So, whatâs your profession?" Mr. Baiyiâs face showed a joyful smile; teasing this Elf always gave him a sense of joy.
"In the inherited memories, they all called me a Life Priest... Haah, no more talking, Iâm going to take a nap, bye-bye!" Aileen answered groggily, opened the door, and fell directly onto the bed, sinking into slumber.
Mr. Baiyi: ....
So she endured the awakening ceremony just for a raise?
He suddenly felt a little guilty; after all, Miss Elf went to such lengths, and he still deducted her money...
Mr. Baiyi silently decided that after her awakening was finished, he would just claim she heard wrong....
"Boss, those Marvels that are familiar with you said they want to find you. Do you want to have a look?" Luoning said curiously, carrying a lunch box as he entered from outside.
Mr. Baiyi glanced outside; the Guard Brigade, a group of five, had somehow appeared at the door, with many players gathered around them, peeking inside.
The forum was as lively as ever; he opened the Guard Brigadeâs homepage and scrolled through it.
Having quickly watched the latest video, he roughly understood what was happening.
Simply put, after completing the mission to find the hidden members of the Black Night Rose, they planned to attempt the main quest, but as soon as they left the city, they were instantly defeated. They tried seeking help, like from the NPCâs merchant guild, or by posting tasks at the Adventurerâs Guild.
Unfortunately, all it led to was total annihilation; even the Adventurerâs Guild, due to their low reward value, refused to take the task.
After all, Divine-level Tasks are indeed challenging, and no one complained about it, but last night, that guy from Demacia had a mysterious air, claiming that he could definitely convince Mr. Baiyi to help tonight.
His confident demeanor made players very curious, so today some players followed to take a look.
Mr. Baiyi was also intrigued, so he stood up and headed outside, "Alright, Iâll have a look. Keep an eye on the shop, and remember to register any visitors looking for me."
"Okay, boss, be careful~" Luoning replied obediently, opening the lunch box and starting to eat.
Just stepping out of the shop, dozens of players around were eagerly watching Mr. Baiyi, all looking like they were waiting for a big shot to lead the way.
Mr. Baiyi paused and finally looked toward the Guard Brigade, "Whatâs the matter?"
The Guard Brigade turned to Demacia, suggesting it was time for his performance.
Demacia, without hesitation, glanced around cautiously and lowered his voice, "Mr. Baiyi, top-secret information, a war is about to begin."
The players: ....
They looked at the live streamâs chatroom, twitching at the corners of their mouths, thinking "Ah, doesnât this guy know the Guard Brigade is streaming? Is his desire to perform that strong?"
"War, what war?" Mr. Baiyi cooperated by asking.
Demacia paused slightly, seeing no immediate task, he felt deflated, "Itâs like this; recently, weâve been investigating the Black Night Rose, and I found out by a stroke of luck that the Black Night Rose people are trying to activate a Mutated Zone to attack Dongwu City, intending to kill you in the chaos."
The players were shocked and then excited, thinking this seemed like a war task!
Mr. Baiyi, however, was puzzled; the Black Night Rose is known for secrecy, so how could they leak such war intelligence?
"How do you know this?"
The other players perked up their ears, filled with curiosity, including the members of the Guard Brigade, who had met many from Black Night Rose. Even the merchants caught in the market yesterday didnât reveal any useful information up until their capture.
Demacia suddenly wilted, filled with resentment, "I didnât mean to, I just wanted to hide my Magic Staff and ended up in a basement, where..."
He started to choke up, "My Magic Staff got stolen again! They were discussing things over my corpse! It seemed like something from headquarters that could temporarily control the Mutated Zone."
Saying this, he couldnât help but cry out loud, "Mr. Baiyi, theyâve stolen two of my Magic Staffs, Iâm at odds with them!!"
The Guard Brigade: 6.
No wonder he was hesitating and acting all mysterious, so thatâs it.
"Haha... uh..."
A random player couldnât hold back a chuckle, then the surroundings were filled with suppressed laughter, and even some were laughing unrestrainedly, prompting NPCs to point and comment.
The live stream chat room was even more unrestrained, filled with laughter, hahaha everywhere.
Mr. Baiyi was speechless, "Where did you hide the Magic Staff?"
"Outer Cityâs west district, Mr. Baiyi, you have to avenge me!" Demacia, hearing the surrounding laughter, howled even louder.
