The original city's hunter guild was located northwest of the Red Giant Wolf District, on a busy street.
It has its own five-story building, and the hall area is several times that of the colleagues in Wild Grass City, but the degree of electronicity is not comparable.
This led to the fact that the local hunter guild had a large number of employees, and many people could rely on explaining tasks to those relic hunters who did not know the words for a living, and the entire hall was crowded and noisy.
After Bai Chen informed a receptionist that he had information to sell to the guild, he quickly walked through the hall and ascended to the second floor under his guidance.
During this process, Gnava unsurprisingly received a lot of attention, but compared to other places, the frequency of robots appearing in the original city was much higher, and many ruin hunter teams had such a member, so no one found it strange.
Second floor, in room 205.
Bai Chen, Long Yuehong, and Gnawa saw an old man with a straight nose, slightly gray hair, and a black robe.
He was probably in his fifties, and his light blue eyes reflected the appearance of the two people opposite:
"What information do you want to sell to the guild?"
Before Bai Chen could answer, Gnawa, who barely let himself sit on the chair without creaking, had already asked:
"I don't know what to call you?"
The old man laughed:
"It's rare to encounter such a polite robot."
Most robots prioritize following their owners' instructions.
Long Yuehong heard this emotion, secretly said "bad thing", and quickly said to Gnawa:
"Who taught you to ask other people's names directly without considering the context?"
A red light flashed in Gnava's eyes:
"That's what I said, he said to be polite."
Sure enough...... Long Yuehong was not surprised at all.
He asked that just now, in order to guide the half-hundred-year-old man opposite to think in the direction of "this robot was taught to be bad by the master", rather than the robot in front of him was probably from "mechanical heaven" and belonged to intelligent people.
"You don't have to listen to him all the time, his brain is different from normal people." Long Yuehong rarely has the opportunity to say bad things about Shang Jianyao behind his back, and of course he will not let it go.
The old man on the opposite side raised his hand and pressed:
"It's not a bad thing to be polite.
"My name is Frederick."
Bai Chen then nodded slightly:
"Mr. Frederick, we have information about the white wolf in the mountains on the north shore."
"Really?" Frederick was a little surprised, "You just came back from the mountains on the north bank?"
"No." Bai Chen took out a neatly folded piece of paper from his pocket, "We have encountered enemies in a similar situation to the white giant wolf before, and we believe that there should be certain similarities between the two, and we can get some useful information from here to there."
Frederick tapped the surface of the table with his right index finger, pondered for a few seconds, and said:
"In other words, you can't be sure that this information will come in handy?"
"Yes." Bai Chen did not deny it, "But in the same way, you can't be sure that it won't come in handy."
This conversation is like a tongue twister, Xiaobai's Honghe dialect is still much better than mine...... Long Yuehong muttered silently.
He also dared to shout Bai Chen's nickname in his heart.
The same goes for "Great White".
Only "Hey", he would shout a few times from time to time, anyway, he and Shang Jianyao were used to being dark with each other, the only thing to consider was whether they could withstand the counterattack of the other party's language later.
As for "Lao Ge", there is no sense of ridicule, he thinks it doesn't matter.
Frederick withdrew his right hand and said with a smile:
"It gives me a feeling of gambling."
"But you are the dealer." Bai Chen responded calmly.
Relic hunters selling information directly to the guild need to consider the consequences.
This is not a hammer deal, if the guild gets the information, after reading, it finds that you are suspected of fraud, the lighter one will recover the reward, deduct a certain amount of credit points, add corresponding records, add you to the blacklist at worst, and even give you a task to arrest you.
Compared with the guild, individuals always seem small, as long as they still want to eat the food of relic hunters, few people play tricks in this regard.
Of course, there are also situations where you have to pit the guild because you have to burn your butt, so you can only consider turning into a "dark hunter" and not accepting and handing over tasks through the guild, just like the earliest relic hunters.
Frederick laughed:
"You're calm.
"Tell me, how much do you want for compensation?"
"400 Ore." Bai Chen offered the price.
This is enough for a family of three in the Green Olive District to live for a year, and if they are more frugal, they can even use it for two years.
But this is really a drop in the bucket compared to the price of military exoskeleton devices and robotic arms, which are often priceless - such materials are often priceless.
For the "Old Tune Team", this information was mainly to fill the shy wallet first, after all, they did not give all the information related to Qiao Chu, and they did not know enough about the abilities of this Eighth Research Institute correspondent.
Frederick thought for a while and said:
"I hope it's worth the price."
He immediately picked up the phone on the table, dialed a number, and asked the other party to go through the process now and approve 400 Ole.
When he hung up, Bai Chen pushed the folded paper over.
Frederick picked up the reading glasses placed next to him, unfolded the paper in his hand, and read it carefully:
「…… We once met a man named Qiao Chu, whose intelligence in the guild was a ton of flour...... He can make people involuntarily like him, have a crush on him, and follow his commands...... This is suspected to be a price, not an Awakened ability...... His abilities are currently known to include 'hobbies of forcibly changing goals' and 'making people frustrated', and the rest are unknown...... If the giant wolf in the mountains on the north bank did not gain the ability to charm others through aberration, then it needs to be considered that it has other abilities......"
Frederick raised his head and looked at Bai Chen and Long Yuehong:
"Have you met Qiao Chu?
"You can get rid of him and live until now?"
He was surprised by what happened later.
Bai Chen pointed to Gnava next to him and said without changing his face:
"There is him."
"He?" Frederick asked rhetorically.
In the Honghe language, he and she are different words, and you can hear them as soon as you hear them.
Bai Chen explained casually:
"I am a wilderness wanderer, my parents died early, and I was taken care of by intelligent robots to live to adulthood."
"That's right......" Frederick understood.
Long Yuehong was secretly stunned by what she heard, but she didn't expect that Xiaobai would be as deceitful as the team leader.
Obviously there were no robots at that time!
Moreover, it was not Gnava who took care of her growing up!
I don't know if Xiaobai was originally like this, or was he influenced by the team leader...... Long Yuehong fell into deep thought.
At this time, Frederick sighed:
"It seems that the charm does not work on the robot, which is also a very important message.
"Okay, your information does have the price of 400 Ore."
Jiang Bai Cotton Ding 400 Ole mainly refers to the previous bounty: the price of one kilogram of ordinary grade flour in the initial city is about 4 to 6 draises, which is about 0.5 Ole.
Of course, in disaster-free years, in places like the First City and the Weed City, in many settlements of gray soil, one kilogram of flour can be worth a human life in some cases.
In total, 400 ole is approximately equal to 800 kilograms of ordinary grade flour, which is about the same as the previous bounty price.
Soon, Bai Chen got a full 400 Orei banknotes.
She counted 50 oles from them, and while pushing them to Frederich, she said:
"I want to entrust a mission."
Frederick pointed to the floor:
"The entrusted task is below."
Bai Chen did not stop and continued:
"The content is to help us find a friend. He is very sensitive, he is also a relic hunter, when he sees someone posting a mission to find him, he will definitely hide, we can only ask the guild for help, privately entrust it to some relic hunters with enough connections in the local area.
"You don't need to get detailed information and tell us where he lives or where he frequents more often."
——The Hunter Guild always has a vice president who is directly in charge of this kind of task that does not publish publicly and requires confidentiality.
Frederick took the stack of banknotes and said upside down:
"With only this little reward, the time is hard to say, no one will mobilize everyone they know to help find it for 50 Ore."
"No problem." Bai Chen took out another piece of paper.
Above is the appearance of Han Wanghuo depicted by Jiang Baimian, which is lifelike.
At the same time, she also marked the eye color, character name and other content next to it.
After entrusting this matter, Bai Chen led Long Yuehong and Gnawa back to the hall on the first floor.
They casually browsed what tasks were available recently, and did not consider picking them up, mainly to understand the current situation in the original city.
After leaving the hall and returning to the street, they were about to turn elsewhere when they suddenly saw a convoy passing by on the road ahead.
These are sedans with a deep black color, and the glass seems to have been treated so that you can't see the inside from the outside.
Such a large convoy made Long Yuehong feel that momentum was coming to her face, and she subconsciously held her breath.
He glanced sideways at Bai Chen and found that she was looking ahead in a daze.
"What's wrong?" When the convoy disappeared at the end of the road, Long Yuehong asked.
"It's nothing." Bai Chen shook his head.
…………
Harvest bathroom, in one room.
"Do you think this matter is related to the 'anti-intellectual religion'?" After listening to Shang Jianyao's description, Jiang Baimian thought and asked, "Was the assassination of Xu Liyan the ghost of the Zhao family? No, Zhao Zhengqi and Zhao Yide are also in the noble council hall and will be blown up together! There are also conflicts within the Zhao family?"
Shang Jianyao did not respond to Jiang Baimian's question, and said to himself:
"There are a few more people who exist in Zhao Shouren's memory, the manor was born and grew up, but at first glance it looks like they were brought from another family, many details don't match, and they often go in and out."
