RPAGF Chapter 151 Bounty Hall
Chapter 151 Bounty Hall
Since the puppets were already made, why did Liu Jun still go to the market?
Liu Jun wanted to take advantage of Qing Liye's unconsciousness to make a runaway, but she didn't know where her body was lying, and she didn't have any tools to search for it. All her belongings were stored in that body, and she couldn't use any of them. What could she do?
Liu Jun is penniless right now. Apart from the money she earned herself, she doesn't have any talismans or weapons used by cultivators. What use is this puppet body with the strength of a Nascent Soul cultivator?
Moreover, unlike human flesh, puppets cannot heal from cuts; if they are damaged, parts must be found to repair them.
It's like sewing a patch on clothes. It may look good, but a patch can never become the original. In fact, too many patches can affect the smoothness of the original, until the puppet is completely destroyed.
The puppet cannot be generated on its own, and it will age and jam after prolonged use. This puppet's lifespan is only ten years. After all, this is the Demon Realm, and it is difficult to find many high-quality puppet-making parts. Moreover, the puppet's lifespan will be shortened if it is damaged.
Just like the one she placed on Qiwu Peak, because it was made of excellent materials, and the patterns and arrays carved on it were personally carved by Liu Jun himself. After all, his cultivation level was there, so it was naturally not bad. Its service life was also over a hundred years, of course, under the condition of not being damaged.
The markets in the Demon Realm have all sorts of strange and wonderful things, especially the markets below the main city, which are particularly bustling. However, these things are only for use by demons.
Cultivators have very few things they can use; most of what they have are things plundered by demonic cultivators who mingle in the outside world, and these are all miscellaneous items, none of which are high-level.
If you want high-level external items, you have to go to the auction house to find them. On the contrary, external currencies like spirit stones are sold as items here.
Apart from top-grade spirit stones, even high-grade spirit stones are available for sale, but the price is 10% higher than their original price.
Demonic energy and spiritual power are relative concepts, and spirit stones contain spiritual power, so demonic cultivators naturally don't care about them. They just treat them as rare items from the outside world and buy them to collect.
However, these low-grade spirit stones are not so expensive. You can buy five or six of them with the value of one spirit stone. Moreover, the price will be even lower if you buy them in batches. They are just considered to be special stones.
The little money Liu Jun earned was indeed more than a lowly servant could earn in a lifetime, but in the market, it could be used to buy a slightly better blade and break it all off.
Moreover, she had already spent most of her money on making this puppet, and she was once again laughing at her own poverty.
Back when she was still Liu Jun, she would buy things and alchemy materials without batting an eye, especially the various materials for alchemy, which would easily cost hundreds or thousands of spirit stones.
Sigh (“▔□▔)!
Go back to Qing Liye and ask for it? Absolutely not! She hasn't done a single chore for him this past month, and she hasn't even received her wages.
Should I go and take on two more bounty orders?
It's not impossible; I took on a few simple bounty jobs when I was using Xiaocao's body.
However, because Xiaocao's health was really poor, she could only look for things and dig up herbs, and she had never taken on dangerous work, so that path was closed. But now she can take on dangerous work.
"Okay, just do it!"
Finding her physical body requires a fortune-telling chart, a six-harmony bead, and a thread of blood ties.
Both the astrological chart and the Six Harmonies Bead auction house have them, but they are expensive. The Bloodline Connection is the guide that connects her to her physical body; it is of utmost importance and also the most difficult to find.
"Money, it's all money..."
Liu Jun sighed deeply and walked towards the Hall of Rewards.
The Bounty Hall, as its name suggests, is the place where bounty orders are coordinated, and it is also a place where all sorts of people mingle.
As long as you are willing to pay the bounty, you can pass through the Bounty Hall to the government office. The Bounty Hall will take a cut and then issue a public notice, and naturally there will be plenty of people willing to take the challenge.
Of course, the Bounty Hall only takes a cut from those who entrust the Bounty Hall to provide personnel and services. They won't touch those who don't need to be involved, which is how the Bounty Hall established many guilds.
Regardless of your background, as long as you have the ability, you can join a guild.
Teams composed of members of the Bounty Hall are tasked with carrying out high-difficulty and high-risk bounty missions, with the bounty distributed among the teams according to the individual contributions made during the mission.
The guild's annual rewards are quite generous, but you have to complete certain bounty hunting missions. The missions vary, but they are not too difficult. Half of the mission rewards are given to the hunters, so most bounty hunters are willing to join.
Of course, if you believe you are capable, you can also be a lone hunter and take on bounties yourself.
However, most bounties are now taken over by the Bounty Hall, and solo players may not be able to get bounties. It is understandable that some bounty hunters have special requirements because the cost of forming a team is too high, but the Bounty Hall no longer provides manpower, effort, or protection.
Although the guild was founded by Bounty Hall, the two are essentially two independent entities with no particularly close connection. It's like the guild owner funds the organization, but the members are still free to do as they please.
However, over time, people who frequently team up together will form small groups, and their strengths and weaknesses will gradually be differentiated, thus creating different levels of ability.
If the bounty hunter wants to get a strong team to take the challenge, they will have to spend more money. It all depends on whether the bounty hunter is willing to spend the money.
……
The guild occupies a large area that can accommodate nearly a thousand people, while the Bounty Hall is located at the rear of the guild and rarely interferes with the affairs of the guilds in front.
The guild is frequented by many people every day. Some are looking for teammates, some are preparing to leave, and others are standing in front of a huge bulletin board made of slices from a giant tree, choosing the bounty that suits their taste and price.
The notices posted at the top were for those who were eager for results, while those in the middle were for both danger and reward, and those at the bottom were for miscellaneous jobs that were not dangerous.
There was also a wooden board next to the bulletin board, which displayed notices for those who had already posted notices but were still short of staff.
Liu Jun didn't spend time picking out jobs with high pay and low workload. There must have been at least several hundred orders posted on the bulletin board. As soon as one order was finished, more orders would be posted. How long would it take to pick them all?
As soon as he entered the guild, he went straight to the section where there was a shortage of people, picked up a job that paid well but was easy but dangerous, and went directly to the gatekeeper to ask, "Where is the person for this job?"
The man glanced up, pointed in a direction, and said, "Ji Shen is the leader. Look, he's sitting at the second table."
Liu Jun nodded to the man and then walked in the direction where Ji Shen was.
Ji Shen is considered a well-known figure in the guild. Although he hasn't done as many bounty cases as the top teams, the teams he's led have never had any major incidents, and the completion rate of his cases is quite high.
However, his team has always consisted of only three people, including himself, so he often needs to add more people to complete tasks, and the order he took on today was no exception.
For this mission, they need to kill someone for the bounty hunter, and this person's cultivation level is almost at the Nightmare level.
Although the Ghost Nightmare and Nightmare in Nightmare are listed side by side, the Nightmare is indeed much stronger than the Ghost Nightmare. According to outsiders, the Nightmare is a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator who is close to the Divine Transformation level.
Ji Shen was just a Nightmare, and his two subordinates were only first-class demon envoys, which was not enough to kill the person on the bounty list. However, Ji Shen still accepted the challenge and waited for the fourth person to join.
"You're Ji Shen?"
Ji Shen waited for half a day, but only a weak and delicate girl who showed no signs of strength appeared. A knot immediately formed on his forehead.
"Little girl, what are you doing with my bounty poster? Go away, go play somewhere else! Put my poster back right now, this is not a place for you to play around."
Liu Jun glanced at the list a few more times, then held it out to Ji Shen and said, "It says here that we're short one person. I'll join, and we can leave right away."
Ji Shen snatched the form from her hand and stood up. You wouldn't know it until he stood up; he looked to be at least two meters tall, making Liu Jun appear much shorter.
"Hey, big brother, I just got back some delicious food, how come there's this little girl here?"
Two tall, burly men carrying several paper packages walked over from a distance, looking puzzled. They put down their bags and stared at Liu Jun with curiosity.
Are people in the Demon Realm generally very tall? Qing Liye is very tall, at least 1.9 meters.
Ji Shen was very tall, as were his two subordinates. Even on the streets, you hardly saw anyone short. Demonic energy really does nourish people! ╮(￣▽￣)╭
Even though Ji Shen was very tall, and Liu Jun had to look up to meet his gaze, there was no fear in her eyes; instead, she looked at him with a smile.
"I may only be a second-class demon envoy, but that should be enough for me to join you, right?"
"A second-class demon envoy? How could a little kid like you be a second-class demon envoy? You must be making this up."
The other person, who hadn't spoken until now, chimed in.
"Whether it is or not, we'll find out when we arrest them. You can't let someone take advantage of the situation, can you? I'm short on money lately. Three demon envoys and one ghost nightmare are enough."
