章節 14: Chapter 14: Map
At the moment, Luman's idea was simple: he wanted to get rid of Luanne and her sister as quickly as possible.
Although their previous actions may have been wrong, they didn't have any other intentions.
After all, their relationship was quite ordinary. Although they were in the same group, it was merely a temporary team.
The entire Noah Gaming World was vast. With only over ten million players scattered across different areas, the number of players in each region was minimal.
Besides, this area was dangerous. Most players died within half a month of arriving and had to reincarnate elsewhere.
As a result, the number of people who could stay was significantly reduced.
Because there were so few players left, they had chosen to form a team and stick together.
But claiming that they had a deep friendship would be a lie.
So, when they saw their long-lost teammates, Luman and his friend's first reaction was to get rid of them as soon as possible, so as not to interfere with their mission.
In the meantime, they had gained a lot of benefits by following Christopher Johnson and were enjoying themselves, which they didn't want to be disturbed by outsiders.
However, at this very moment, Adam returned.
"Are these your friends?"
A clear voice, with a hint of astonishment, suddenly sounded.
Looking up, Adam was dressed in hunting attire, standing at the gate, eyeing Luman, Luanne, and the others with great interest.
"Sir!"
Seeing Adam, Luman and his friend immediately turned around.
However, Luanne's reaction was even faster than theirs.
"Sir, we were their former teammates. We heard that you needed workers here, so we came to seek an opportunity." She confided, "I used to run a trading company, and I know some information about the area nearby. My sister is a great chef. Do you need any help?"
Well, they were here for on-the-spot job applications?
Adam subconsciously hesitated, seemingly unprepared for this situation.
However, after briefly considering, he nodded and replied, "I don't need any attendants, but..."
He looked at the sisters and chose his words carefully before continuing, "I want to find some things nearby. If you can provide relevant information, I'll offer you a reward."
Adam did not need any fighters, as it was evident that Luanne and her sister were ordinary people with combat abilities inferior even to Luman and Yone Jones.
However, if they could provide suitable information, Adam would not mind rewarding them.
Recently, he was concerned about the experience points issue.
"That sounds great."
A confident smile appeared on Luanne's face.
Under Adam's surprised gaze, she took a map out of her pocket.
The map was made of ordinary paper. It seemed rough, but it accurately depicted the nearby terrain.
Various special places in this area, along with several towns including Creek Town, were marked on the map, with roads outlined in detail.
In this world, this map alone held great value.
Luman and Yone Jones exchanged glances, both sensing something wrong.
It seemed as if Luanne and her sister had come prepared.
Indeed, the map caught Adam's interest immediately.
He inquired about the nearby terrain, the locations of demonic creatures, and the bases of bandits.
Luanne and her sister were somewhat surprised by Adam's questions.
Both demonic creatures and bandits were considered dangerous, and ordinary people in this world would avoid them at all costs.
Yet, Mr. Knight seemed keen on seeking them out.
Considering the rumors they had heard before, Luanne and her sister understood his intentions.
They hadn't come here just to kill time.
After being killed by the Direwolf and using one of their resurrection chances, they had reincarnated nearby.
Having learned from their previous experience, they changed their strategy. Instead of actively seeking trouble with demonic creatures, they gathered information and experience from other players, hoping to befriend local influential figures.
They had given up on the traditional path of leveling up by killing monsters and instead chose to follow a higher path.
They had no choice, as the monsters outside were too fierce for them to defeat.`
Compared to that, gathering information and handling logistics seemed more fitting.
They sought out Adam because of his recent reputation.
Adam had been patrolling nearby, slaying demonic creatures and driving away bandits for the past month, so his fame had quickly spread to nearby towns.
Luanne and her sister had noticed this.
Players tend to react at a breakneck speed.
As soon as they realized Adam's uniqueness, they came to this small town, intending to seize any opportunity. To their surprise, they ran into their former teammates, Luman and Yone Jones.
This was quite a coincidence.
Although they were puzzled by Adam's requests, they still quickly provided feedback.
"There are many demonic creatures in the forest to the south."
"As for the bandits, there are a few groups nearby. However, they are well-hidden, and very few people know their whereabouts," Luanne explained truthfully.
Demonic creatures were not scarce.
In this world full of magic objects, demonic creatures were common, and they could be found almost everywhere.
In some places, the Demonkind populations had become so overwhelming that the cities were annihilated.
So, these creatures were not hard to find.
But they were relatively challenging to locate.
"The southern forest?"
Adam nodded, deep in thought.
He already knew this information.
After all, he could ask the local bully, Derley.
However, Derley had warned him back then not to venture there.
Unlike the nearby demonic creatures, which were solitary fighters, the creatures in other areas appeared in large groups, posing a significant threat to Adam, regardless of his strength.
Adam took the advice to heart and did not approach that area.
But through Luanne and her sister, he learned of a few other places with lower danger levels, which he decided to check out.
"If you can, please settle down nearby," he said after a moment of contemplation. "In the following days, I'd appreciate it if you two ladies could act as my guides."
"We'd be delighted to help," Luanne and her sister replied, exchanging excited glances.
