Chapter 40 Agreement Mission!
When the Li family's caravan got into trouble, the city guards were mobilized to conduct a massive search, and even the hunting party with a gold-level demon hunter in charge had no choice but to cooperate.
The so-called "Yan family" in front of them could only issue missions through the Demon Hunter Association and wait for demon hunters to come to their rescue...
If he truly is someone of status.
The bandit camp had to send people and vehicles to transport both people and goods back to Mugu City intact.
Therefore, Shi Lan believed that this so-called member of the Yan family was most likely a branch member who was using someone else's power to bully others...
Shi Lan's guess was pretty accurate.
Although Yan Su was not a member of the branch, he was just an illegitimate child who was not valued.
He only managed to get this caravan after pleading and begging his father three times.
Previous business trips had all gone relatively smoothly.
This time, after venturing a little further, they encountered the demonic tide.
First, they lost two truckloads of goods and several of their men.
After finally escaping back to the safe haven, the last car broke down.
Left with no other choice, Yan Su could only contact the nearest mountain stronghold.
As a member of the Yan family, he requested that the mountain stronghold send troops to rescue him.
The bandit group sent men out during the peak of the demonic tide to rescue Yan Su, his three remaining men, and a truckload of goods.
But after figuring out his background...
The people from the mountain stronghold then demanded compensation from him, citing losses incurred in terms of rescue personnel, supplies, and time.
After some argument and even threats, Yan Su signed a compensation agreement. She lost her last cartload of goods but gained four mule cartloads of livestock and a stockpile of miscellaneous goods from the mountain stronghold...
"These damned scum, I'll make you pay sooner or later!"
He cursed the bandits in his heart.
Seeing that Shi Lan and the others were about to leave, Yan Su quickly called out:
"Hey, don't go! I'll pay more!"
"How about 5,000 Alliance Coins!"
"How about eight thousand...ten thousand Alliance Coins?"
"Don't go! I'll offer 12,000!"
"No more!"
......
Yan Su kept raising the price, but finally despaired when he shouted 15000 Alliance Coins.
But soon, his hope was rekindled.
Because Shi Lan and her group of five stopped some distance away...
"It seems that 15,000 is his limit."
"This price is high enough, but I can give it a try."
"I have no objection!"
"Alright, I can take it, but the primary focus must be on completing the rescue mission!"
"Make him sign an agreement stating that if anything goes wrong, he should abandon the goods..."
......
Shen Mo, Shi Lan, and Wei Dongming discussed in hushed tones for a moment before making a decision.
They never intended to abandon the mission.
It's still early, and the reward for this task is quite good, so it would be a shame to give up now.
In addition, tasks that exceed the requirements will be recorded even if you abandon them, although there is no penalty for doing so.
It also has an impact on both the team and the individual...
Therefore, Shi Lan's act of abandoning the mission was actually meant for Yan Su's benefit.
The goal, of course, is to gain benefits and minimize negative impacts as much as possible.
Shi Lan specifically used an information bombardment to tell Shen Mo and Wei Dongming this...
After reaching a consensus, Shi Lan went to Yan Su Mian and stated her side's demands.
Yan Su agreed to all of the previous requests, including the advance payment.
But upon hearing about the agreement to be signed, and its contents and requirements, Yan Su became agitated and resistant.
Because Shi Lan required him to specify in the agreement that escorting the four mule carts was an additional task.
Furthermore, in the event of unforeseen circumstances, the Bloodaxe Demon Hunters have the right to abandon the mule carts and goods.
Even if the goods were ultimately lost, Russell would still have to pay 50% of the fee as a service fee...
These demands were too harsh. Although Yan Su was in a passive position, she still found it difficult to accept such conditions.
In the end, Shi Lan made a concession.
Yan Su reluctantly agreed after the compensation for the failed escort was reduced to 30%...
After some twists and turns, the caravan finally set off.
Because the cart was fully loaded with livestock and miscellaneous goods, and Yan Su's men were not very skilled drivers, the mule cart could not go very fast.
Shen Mo sat in the second carriage, observing his surroundings.
They only relaxed their vigilance after the caravan entered a relatively open wilderness.
I'm thinking about the relocation permit and residence permit.
Shen Mo jumped off the mule cart, quickly caught up with the one in front, and called out to Shi Lan, who was sitting on it:
"Captain, there's something I'd like to ask you."
Upon hearing this, Shi Lan jumped off the mule cart.
He walked with Shen Mo to within ten meters of the caravan before asking in a low voice, "What is it?"
"I'd like to know if you have any channels for obtaining a relocation permit and a residence permit."
"A relocation permit?" Shi Lan asked, looking surprised. "Where do you want to move to?"
"Xiaping".
"Xiaping?" Shi Lan asked疑惑地, "You're not from Xiaping?"
"No, I live in a shantytown."
Upon hearing this, Shi Lan looked surprised.
When she parted ways with Shen Mo yesterday, she saw him heading north and assumed he was going home.
Unexpectedly, Shen Mo didn't stay in Xiaping...
How could such a talented young man come from a shantytown?
For a moment, Shi Lan was somewhat incredulous.
Although some people in the shantytowns have obtained demon hunter licenses.
Moreover, it's not that no Bronze or even Silver-level Witchers have ever been born.
But growing out of that quagmire is incredibly difficult...
After confirming that Shen Mo wasn't joking and calming herself down, Shi Lan finally spoke:
"I'm not very familiar with the shantytown area, and I don't know many people there."
However, I can take you to find someone.
She might be able to help you solve this problem...
Shi Lan briefly explained the situation to Shen Mo.
Unable to contain her curiosity, Shi Lan then began to inquire about Shen Mo's background.
After confirming that Shen Mo was indeed a native of the shantytown, it still felt somewhat unreal for a moment...
-----------------
Whoosh!
The arrow shot into the sky, but the vulture swiftly dodged it.
Startled, it let out a scream, its body rapidly rising into the air as it fled in panic into the distance.
"What a pity, I almost won."
Shi Lan sighed when she saw Shen Mo miss his target with an arrow.
Shen Mo also felt it was a pity.
Because he had never killed a monster like the Tumor Vulture.
At this point, he had hunted a total of 149 demons.
If only I could have shot him dead with one arrow.
Shen Mo can earn one of each of the three enhancement points...
He put down the bow and glanced at the black iron badge.
They were now halfway through their journey, with less than ten kilometers remaining to Dusk Valley City.
The process went relatively smoothly.
Along the way, they were spotted by a group of clawed beasts, who followed them for several hundred meters.
Before the Blood Axe Demon Hunters could even make a move, the Claw Beasts scattered on their own.
In addition, Shen Mo also hunted down one thorny snake, one beetle, and two rodents along the way.
Gained 2 points of skill enhancement and 1 point of combat tactic enhancement.
Shen Mo currently has 3 points of physical enhancement, 2 points of combat skill enhancement, and a full 10 points of skill enhancement that he hasn't used yet!
After checking the route, Shen Mo looked around and his gaze settled on the east.
"Someone's there!" Shen Mo warned.
Shi Lan took out her binoculars and looked in the direction he was looking.
A moment later, five small figures could be vaguely seen moving in the east.
Shen Mo observed for a while longer and then said:
"They haven't moved this way, so they probably haven't spotted us yet... Wait, they have binoculars!"
They've found us!!!
