The underworld.
Especially the coastal areas of the Nether Sea. Although they were not heavily populated, the proportion of strong individuals there far exceeded that of the surface.
On the surface.
Most human settlements were not very strong.
In many villages.
The Awakened were only at the Third or Fourth Tier. The villages' safety often depended on spirit sacrifices.
But as for those spirit sacrifices...
Most of them did not even reach the Sixth Tier.
However, in Demon Port.
Even ordinary sailors had to be at least Fifth Tier. Senior sailors, boatswains, and the like were basically Sixth Tier. Chief Engineers, first mates, and captains were mostly Seventh Tier. There were also Third- and Fourth-Tier people, but they were basically local youngsters.
They really were young people.
Not the kind who merely looked young despite being old.
They were generally only in their twenties.
"After all, this is the shore of the Nether Sea. Anyone who dares come here to take risks has some real skill. And because of the Nether Sea, ordinary people are basically never born among the locals. Their advancement speed is also faster than elsewhere."
Jiang Qiao did not accept the mission.
After paying an information fee, he said he would think about it and sent Liu Ming away.
Liu Ming was somewhat disappointed.
However, Jiang Qiao had looked through thirteen pieces of information from start to finish.
At 100 yuan each.
He had paid 1,300 yuan in total.
For Liu Ming, who had not had any business for several days, that was at least enough to earn some meal money.
He was not worried that Jiang Qiao would bypass him.
In other words, he was not worried that Jiang Qiao would cut out the intermediary and negotiate with the employer himself.
According to the rules.
