Chapter 134: A Template, Classic, and Unoriginal Street Performance
Inside the Mercenary Guild's hall, in front of Miss Chen's counter.
"Whooaaa…. It's so shiny!"
In Mingyue's hand, there was a small badge which was made out of mysterious metal. In front of it was the symbol of the Mercenary Guild, while at behind, there was nothing. Flat.
"Er, Miss Chen. Is this really a mercenary's badge?" Fu Tao was not sure of the thing in his hand.
"Yes, of course. As long as you have bound the badge using your blood, there is nothing to be scared of." Miss Chen answered with a reassuring smile. "Once it is bound, it is yours forever. Ah, as long as you didn't lose it, okay?"
After the earlier event, Miss Chen didn't spare a glance toward Shi Jingtian, and no one did.
Perhaps, her impression of Shi Jingtian plummeted.
"But, if it is missing-"
"Please don't miss it." Miss Chen had a scary smile as she ensured Fu Tao.
"Ye- yes…" Fu Tao coughed while he changed the topic. "So, we have already become a proper 1-star mercenary, right?"
"Yes. The three of you are already a proper 1-star mercenary. Are you interested in taking some mission?"
"No, it's not like that." Fu Tao waved his hand while dismissing that topic. "Can we take a 2-star mercenary's examination?"
Miss Chen froze on the spot. She never expected that the harmless-looking young man was so brazen. But after thinking a little, she didn't mind and returned to her usual professional smile.
"The criteria to take the 2-star mercenary's examination is not easy. Are you still interested?"
"Yes. I need to reach 2-star mercenary as soon as possible." It was obvious that Fu Tao wouldn't say the deal they had with Quan Jingyi.
As long as they could become a 2-star mercenary, they could pick the special mission about the abandoned mine.
"Okay. The basic requirement is at least two years as a 1-star mercenary. I am sorry, but mister Fu Tao has failed."
Miss Chen still had her professional, making it hard for Fu Tao to reply.
Liao Yun snickered while Mingyue patted Fu Tao's back and consoled, "Don't be sad, smelly tofu."
"Fufu, of course, I am only kidding. Don't be mad, mister Fu Tao." Miss Chen giggled and continued, "There is indeed a few exceptions for this rule. Because of that, I have to discuss this matter with the Guild Master first of all, before making a decision."
"But considering mister Fu Tao's ability, I am sure that you will have the chance eventually. For the other two-"
""I am better than this smelly tofu!""
Mingyue and Liao Yun made the same exclamation at the same time.
"Ahaha…" There was a wry smile pasted on Miss Chen. "For little Yue, it is a little hard because your status as 1-star mercenary comes from your ability as a healer. Making it short, there will be a few examinations for you."
But Mingyue didn't have any expression toward that sentence. "Oh. That's fine since that smelly tofu is the only one who wished to be a 2-star mercenary."
"Ah… I see… Hahaha…" Miss Chen let out a dry laugh. She really didn't understand the relationship between the three of them.
After contemplating for some time, Mingyue, Fu Tao, and Liao Yun decided to leave the Mercenary Guild in case Shi Jingtian woke up. They weren't scared by Shi Jingtian, but rather they didn't want to be blamed or forced to pay some reparation for Shi Jingtian's teeth.
"So, what are our plan now?" After walking for some time, Mingyue turned her body toward Fu Tao and Liao Yun.
Even though the three of them finally became mercenary, they were not 2-star mercenary yet. They could only wait for the news from Miss Chen, since it was the only thing they could do regarding the rank up.
And it left them with nothing to do.
"Fight! Find someone tough! Strong! And beat the crap out of them!" Liao Yun crackled her fist.
But Fu Tao shot her suggestion down.
"No. we need more money before we will be kicked out of the aunty Gu Wen's place"
Indeed. The matter of mercenary's examination made Mingyue and Liao Yun didn't think of their current fund.
After selling the old wagon along the pair of donkey and pair of wild horse, there were around one gold coin and a few silver coins. The old wagon and the pair of donkey didn't have any worth, only a four broken silver coins in total.
But unexpectedly, the pair of commonly found horse from Wind Chasing Tribe were priced very high. Around six silvers each, more than ten times the price of a normal horse.
"Sigh. If I know about it, I will bring a few more horse from the settlement." Fu Tao was full of sorrow as he heard the price.
Of course, most people would.
If something common in your place had a high price, what would you do? Of course, sell as many as possible. And that was what Fu Tao had missed.
"Heck! You money pinchers! All you think is only money, money, and money. Why don't you sell your body? You will get an easy money, won't you?" Liao Yun turned her attention toward Mingyue and asked, "You are in the same boat with me, right? Making the crap out of some bastards is fun, right?"
Mingyue was speechless by that question.
"Up to you." Mingyue shrugged.
"Why? Why why why? Little Yue, let's beat some people… it is interesting, right? Also, it is a good exercise, also it is relieving some stress…"
"Er, why don't you pick a mission concerning about beating some people? You got money and exercise."
Unexpectedly, Liao Yun nodded her head without hesitation.
"Fine. As long as I can loosen my body. Your call. . ."
Indeed, the current problem for the three of them was the fund, aka money. But, Mingyue had her own agenda here, in this city.
Finding out any information about the Fire Kingdom's situation.
Before this, Mingyue had tried to search any rumours from some local mercenaries, but it was no use. Their information was too random and there was a lot of clashing informations. Not even a concrete information, and most of it was degrading the Fire Kingdom's Royal Family. The quality of the information was crap, there was nothing worth to note.
Thus, it was only a waste of time.
But, there was a reason for it.
First, the relationship between the Fire Kingdom and the Earth Kingdom was hostile, enough for a war to erupt any time. Not only the relationship between the Royal Family, but also the residence in each of the kingdom were hostile to each other.
Second, this Black Iron City's position was at the north of the Earth Kingdom, while the border between the Earth Kingdom and the Fire Kingdom was in the south of the Earth Kingdom. For any information reached the Black Iron City, it would need at the very least a year.
Hence, it was normal for any rumours became an important information here in the Black Iron City.
With this, Mingyue's plan went awry.
Since it was impossible to gain the newest information about the Fire Kingdom, she decided to enjoy her journey.
…
As Mingyue and her company were walking in the street, there was a big crowd in front of them. Mingyue, Liao Yun, and Fu Tao were planning to evade the crowd, but Mingyue stopped Liao Yun and Fu Tao.
There was a good show, and there was something that attracted her attention.
"P- please! Young Master Lin, please give this humble merchant another chance!" A desperate voice was resounded, it was filled with despair and unwillingness.
"What are you talking about! Our Young Master takes your dirty daughter, it is considered a great fortune for your family! Like a carp transformed into a phoenix! Be grateful and don't disturb our Young Master!"
Another voice resounded, but this voice was clearly sneering the previous voice.
"No! I am willing to give anything, except for my daughter-" Pa! "Ah!"
"Dad! No! Help!"
"SHUT UP! It is our Young Master's kindness that allowed you to be picked up! Be grateful and serve our Young Master with your body! That is the best way to repay our Young Master's grace!"
Pa!
"Aah!"
Pfft! Mingyue unable to endure the laughter anymore since it was a classic line in her previous life.
Classic! Too classic and unoriginal!
An actor from some kind of cheap theatre? Or street performance?
For someone from an influential family, taking over the commoner's possession. Of course, a young woman was included in this possession thing. It was not weird.
But, there was something that attracted Mingyue's attention.
[Young Master Lin? Which one, is this?] Mingyue had an evil smirk on her face.
