Hu Yunting walked around Nightmare Town all morning, seemingly doing nothing but looking around at everything in the town.
Near noon, he arrived at the door of the town's security team.
The security team has a spacious courtyard. The facade looks a bit old, and the two yellow wooden doors are tightly closed. Hu Yunting walked forward and knocked on the door knocker.
With a creak, the door opened from inside.
I saw a group of uniformed security guards sitting in the courtyard having a barbecue. There were two stoves next to them, and fragrant meat skewers were rolling on the stoves. The scene was very lively.
"A foreigner?" said the stiff-looking security captain, "Are you going to report a crime? You don't need to come here, just shout my name in Nightmare Town, and I can arrive at any time."
Hu Yunting replied, "I'm not here to report a crime, I'm here to apply for a job."
"Apply?" The security captain shook his head, "We have no plans to recruit people."
Hu Yunting walked to the courtyard, nodded slightly to everyone, and then said, "There are many outsiders in the town, and the pressure on you to maintain public security should be much greater... It seems that you are all very busy."
The security captain looked at his team members who were busy greasing the meat skewers and those who were busy fanning the fire to add firewood, and silently nodded in agreement.
"I don't need to be established. Just give me the title of a security team... and a little reward, and I can patrol the town and fight crime for you. My strength is definitely the strongest among the outsiders. I can handle many things without you having to intervene." Hu Yunting said. "It is indeed a good suggestion." Captain An thought for a while and accepted his application, "I can let you join the security team and give you ten Sunfire Seed as a reward every day, but there is no formal establishment. If you commit any illegal or criminal behavior, you will be imprisoned. You will be responsible for patrolling a block. If there are problems that cannot be solved, just shout to me."
Hu Yunting smiled slightly, "It's an honor to join the security team."
"Look at this person!"
During the commentary, Elder Wei couldn't help but applaud Hu Yunting's operation.
"This is what you have to do in Nightmare Town!" He said passionately, "These small town residents are real people, not NPCs in the game. They have their own lives and their own thinking. If you go up and force people to ask for tasks, isn't that a big fool? Look at what Hu Yunting does. People are very good at thinking, and they can immediately think of where there will be tasks. Foreigner Here, the security team must be under great pressure and need manpower! Why did he think of it at once and others couldn't think of it? Let me tell you, Five Great Immortal Sects's disciples are not only amazing in their cultivation." "Hu Yunting joining the security team is indeed beyond our expectations." The female host agreed, "It seems that he can establish a firm foothold in Nightmare Town."
Elder Wei waved his hand, "More than just establishing a foothold. Now that he has joined the security team and has an official background, even if I eliminate him, I can't eliminate him. Can you imagine how he could lose? Anyway, I can't imagine it."
The female host smiled and said, "Ho ho, Elder Wei is as optimistic about player Hu Yunting as always. Then let's take a look at what other players are doing at this time, right?"
As the camera switched, Elder Wei shook his head frequently and said, "Look, one or two are still moving rocks in the dam, and here is a big fool who has gone into the mine. What are these casual cultivators doing? Handing out leaflets? Haha."
The hostess looked at it curiously for a while and said, "These casual cultivators seem to have opened a shop? What is written on it is...Zhao Clan Cultivation Firm? Do they want residents with missions to find it themselves?"
"Whimsical." Elder Wei curled his lips disdainfully, "If you don't call the security team when something happens, what are you going to do with them? You still open a shop, thinking you are playing house."
After making a plan outside the town, the Yue Wen gang went back together for a few rounds and inspected the three people's residences. They found that Yue Wen's cabin was the closest to the center of the town and had the largest flow of people.
They went to buy a wooden plaque, paper and pens and other items, and they spent all five Sunfire Seed.
It turns out that Sunfire Seed is the lowest-end among the common currencies of Nightmare Town, followed by Sunfire Stone, Sunfire Gold, etc. Two Sunfire Seeds a day are not enough for a small town resident even for basic life. No wonder the nickname of Boss Ji in that dam is called Papi.
Because the initial expenses were all paid for by Xing'er, the three of them discussed it and simply let Xing'er be the boss of this temporary office. "Xiao Qi, your plaque is hanging crookedly, hang it up again." Boss Zhao walked around with his shoulders crossed, and then Immediately, he gave an instruction, "Xiaoyue, please hurry up and send these flyers. When you send them, pay attention to the people. Don't give them to everyone. How about we send them to our potential customers?" As the saying goes, reincarnation is the way of heaven. Under the order of Boss Zhao, Yue Wen had no choice but to take a handful of flyers to the streets.
In fact, Xing'er originally wanted to stick with her plan to cheat money by pretending to be a local, but Yue Wen and Qi Dian were worried about the legal risks involved in committing fraud—they were not nephews who were security captains.
It would be more practical to open an office honestly and serve the people.
"Take a look, take a look, Zhao Clan Cultivation Firm, looking for people and things, fighting, pet breeding, water and electricity repairs... You can't think of it, but we can't do it. The new store has opened, with high quality and low prices!" Yue Wen shouted while handing out flyers, "Zhao Clan Cultivation Firm, Nightmare Town is the residents' own office!"
Qi Dian adjusted the plaque, jumped down, and watched Yue Wen vigorously promoting it at the street corner. He was slightly worried and said, "Is this reliable? Or when I don't have any tasks, I should go to the dam to move rocks? At least I have a stable income."
"Two Sunfire Seeds a day are enough for the three of us." Zhao Xing'er said, "Didn't Xiaoyue say that the residents in this town are the same as the outside world. If you approach us too proactively, people will easily suspect you of fraud. We only need to publicize the office, and those who need help will come to them on their own."
"Is it really possible?" Qi Dian still had some doubts in his eyes.
"He has rich experience as a firm manager, so of course you can trust him," Xing'er said.
Qi Dian said, "But if we are in an office outside, is our business very good?"
"Yeah." Xing'er slapped his forehead, "I didn't expect this, I was careless."
This is equivalent to the company going bankrupt and the management going out to apply for jobs. It can indeed be said that they have rich experience. But in fact, they have rich failure experience and almost zero success experience.
While the two of them were worried, Yue Wen led an old man who was walking tremblingly over, "This old man wants to entrust us with something, please come and receive him."
"Okay!" Qi Dian quickly opened the door and led the old man in and sat down.
The old man's beard was completely white, with only a sparse ring of gray hair on his head. After sitting down, he slowly spoke, "I heard two days ago that when you foreigners come, you can pay for your help if you need anything. But the other foreigners look fierce and won't let you go if they stop me. I am timid and don't dare to ask them for help. It seems that you are the most formal."
"That's right, uncle, our firm is absolutely professional and formal. If you have any entrustments, just ask and we promise to complete them." Yue Wen responded.
"I am an honest old man, I have no other hobbies, I just like to eat hot pot." The old man said leisurely, "Outside our Nightmare Town, there is a monster named Blackflame Bear. It is said that its bear paw meat is particularly plump and delicious. But Blackflame Bear is very cruel, and the hunters in the town will avoid it when they encounter it. Can you guys? Can you help me hunt down a Blackflame Bear for hot pot, which fulfills my little wish." "Hunting?" Yue Wen thought, "As long as you specify a rough location, we can do this job. But... if Blackflame Bear is very cruel, this mission may be dangerous..."
"I'll give you ten Sunfire Seed." The old man took out a small bag of Sunfire Seed from his arms, handed it over and asked, "Is that okay?"
Yue Wen took it and said with a smile, "We established the office mainly to serve the residents of Nightmare Town, not to make money. Don't worry, we will definitely complete the task!"
"And when you go back, you can ask your relatives and friends if there is anyone who needs our help. As long as you can help us get a new commission, we will return three Sunfire Seed to you."
"Really?" The old man suddenly became energetic.
He stood up with his crutches. "I will go back and ask my neighbors right now, but don't let other strangers get there first."
After bidding farewell to the greedy old man, the Yue Wen trio immediately set off towards Blackflame Bear's activity area outside the town.
After walking out of the town and going down the river, they soon saw traces of a Blackflame Bear in a primitive dense forest - not because they were efficient at finding monsters, but because it was difficult not to see them.
It was a huge black bear as big as a hill, with black flames swirling around its entire mane. Fireworks were burning wherever it passed, and its path could be judged by the traces of the flames. The tall forest trees only reached its crotch, and most of its body was suddenly exposed outside the dense forest. At this time, it was leaning over with its back to the three people, chewing something in its mouth.
"You said that an honest old man has a little wish to use this thing to make hot pot?" Qi Dian's expression was very confused. "Who says it's not the case." Yue Wen said, "Is this Nightmare Town a normal old man?"
He didn't object to hunting. Anyway, he got Demon Suppressing Coin, but the size of Blackflame Bear also shocked him. Xing'er was a little excited about this, feeling that it was more interesting than ordinary hunting. She pulled out the silver stick, and rushed forward with the same blazing fire!
"Xiao Yue, Xiao Qi, there is no need to talk about moral principles when dealing with monsters, let's go shoulder to shoulder!"
