Chapter 837 Statue

Fifty Grand Knight gold coins are enough for the "old tune team" to live in Gerstburg for a long time, pay the corresponding electricity bill, eat and drink every day, and replenish the needed supplies, and there is still a lot left.

——One knight's gold coin can be exchanged for one hundred knight's silver coins, one knight's silver coin can be exchanged for one hundred retinue coins, and an ordinary worker in Gerstburg, even if he works hard to the age of fifty and is still alive, after daily deductions With the expenses, there is no hope of saving fifty Grand Knight gold coins.

Jiang Baimian, who just now was lamenting the lack of money and supplies, couldn't help but feel a little moved, so he turned a blind eye to Shang Jianyao's behavior of not paying attention to the Bodhi statue and only caring about the reward amount.

"Yes." Gnawa moved his metal neck up and down, "And this mission is not only available in Gerstburg, but also in many important settlements of the 'White Knights'. Those who were communicating on the street at that time Several ruin hunters came from other places, chasing huge bounties."

Jiang Baimian nodded thoughtfully:

"The people at the table who mentioned Bodhi in the restaurant should also be here for the bounty, but well, they are more like people outside the 'White Knights'."

"It's normal for tasks like this that don't involve the struggle between major forces to be posted in places like the 'Primary City'." Bai Chen confirmed the team leader's speculation.

Shang Jianyao asked eagerly:

“Then should we take it?

"By doing this, you don't have to work hard to save money to buy supplies, and you can also deal with the Hunter Guild and collect intelligence openly."

Doing a job... It was like going to rob... Long Yuehong muttered.

Jiang Baimian nodded gently:

"Yes, yes."

The next second, she smiled:

"But that will have to wait until all the high-performance batteries are fully charged."

There is no doubt that the current in the hotel room is limited, and once it is overloaded, it will trip. It is impossible for the "old tune team" to charge all the high-performance batteries in one go, no more than three at a time.

And it takes several hours to fill one piece.

"Then we have to wait for two days." Shang Jianyao said, "I am worried about the group." "By then, the Bodhi statue may have been found by others. This opportunity cannot be missed, and it will never come back again!"

The honest Gnawa quickly explained:

"This mission has been around for a month or two, and no one has found any useful clues yet."

Jiang Baimian followed Shang Jianyao and said:

"Let me just say it? It's been a month or two, and it doesn't take more than two or three days to recharge."

Jian Shang Jian Yao looked disappointed, she breathed out slowly and said:

"However, you can go to the Hunter's Guild tomorrow to take a look around. First, complete the mission and get the corresponding information. Then come back and read it carefully, analyze the direction, and make good use of the free time in these two or three days."

"Team leader..." Long Yuehong didn't quite agree with this.

We agreed to stay in the hotel peacefully and just go out to eat regularly?

Did you agree not to cause trouble or accidents?

The Hunter's Guild has always been a gathering place for troubles and surprises!

Jiang Baimian smiled and said:

"Gestburg has become so lively, and the matter obviously involves Buddhism and Bodhi. If we blindly escape and seek stability, it may not be useful. It may make the trouble even bigger and the accident even more shocking. When the time comes, We didn't even have time to prepare a plan.

"Well, that doesn't mean we should jump into the whirlpool right now. We haven't stocked up on electricity and supplies yet. What I mean is, under the premise of maintaining stability, we need to properly understand this matter and obtain the corresponding intelligence. Lay the foundation for subsequent planning.”

"Yes." Bai Chen nodded slightly.

Long Yuehong no longer objected.

Shang Jianyao had already become cheerful and asked:

"Should we go now or tomorrow morning?"

It won't be too early for the Hunter's Guild to close its doors.

"Tomorrow morning." Jiang Baimian looked at the dark night outside and the lights one after another. "I have been busy for many days. Let's have a good rest tonight."

There are a lot of power plants in Gerstburg, and most of the factories are off work at this time. Therefore, the entire settlement has abundant power supply and the price is low. Ordinary families can also turn on a light to dispel the darkness and bring light.

This makes the night view of Gerstburg no worse than the Red Giant Wolf Street in the original city. At a glance, the lights are brilliant, dreamy and blurry, like a river of stars flowing on the ground.

In a sense, Jiang Baimian felt that this might be a symbol of civilization.

The only bad thing is that where the light shines, dust is flying, which is abundant and obvious.

"Oh." Shang Jianyao said he understood.

He turned to ask:

"Then can I explore the rooms in the 'Soul Corridor' tonight?"

"Have a good rest." Jiang Baimian repeated.

Shang Jianyao was slightly disappointed and had no objection.

Then, they chatted for a while, each read some old world entertainment information, then went into their respective rooms, washed and went to bed, leaving Gnawa alone in the living room.

The night was silent, peaceful and peaceful, except for the intermittent sound of some factories still operating in the distance.

Early the next morning, Shang Jianyao got up early, woke up Jiang Baimian, and woke up Long Yuehong and Bai Chen.

"Eat breakfast, have breakfast, and then go to the Hunter's Guild." He urged.

"You have to give us time to wash our faces and brush our teeth!" Jiang Baimian replied angrily.

As soon as she finished speaking, the big bell in the castle rang again.

when! when! when!

In the misty and gray weather, Gerstburg suddenly woke up. Different houses had lights on, and the streets soon became full of noisy sounds.

When the "Old Tuning Team" finished washing up and prepared to go out, a large number of humans began to head towards the factory area.

For Long Yuehong and other Pangu Biotech employees, such scenes convey an indescribable sense of familiarity and intimacy.

——In the underground building, the street lights will light up at 6:30 every day to inform employees that it is time to get up and go to work.

"What are you going to eat? What are you going to eat..." In Shang Jianyao's whisper, four members of the "Old Tune Group" other than Gnawa walked down to the hotel lobby.

The receptionist on duty at this time is a woman.

Her honey-colored hair was rolled up casually, revealing her slender neck, and her head was moving little by little, making people worry that it would hit the table surface in the next second.

If she hadn't been sitting, she would have fallen down due to instability.

Boom, boom, boom, Shang Jianyao ran over before Jiang Baimian could stop him, raised his fingers and tapped the surface of the table.

The woman sat upright and looked at the guy in front of her with sleepy eyes.

"How many rooms do you want?" she asked.

This woman is in her twenties. At first glance, she looks pretty good, but upon closer inspection, her skin is rough and her facial features are somewhat hard.

Jiang Baimian suspected that she might not have drank the A-series genetic modification potion, and it was all due to her nature.

"I'm here to say hello, good morning!" Shang Jianyao responded with a smile, "And there are more and more people on the street, and there are guests coming to the hotel at any time."

The female receptionist moved her lips a few times, but finally did not open them.

Shang Jianyao asked unconsciously:

"Is it okay if you don't have a rest at night? You should be able to sleep during the night watch."

As for the hotels he has stayed in, because there are no guests staying at night, the front desk can go to the corresponding room to sleep, but he has to be prepared to be woken up at all times and solve problems such as tripping and flushing buttons for those guests who have already checked in. Things like breaking down.

"How can I sleep?" the female receptionist replied weakly, "Three groups of guests came last night."

"Is there anyone checking in so late?" Shang Jianyao started chatting.

The female receptionist looked him over:

"Not everyone is as rich as you and doesn't care about the price difference between day train tickets and night train tickets."

"Oh." Shang Jianyao said "I completely understand" on his face.

At this moment, the male receptionist from yesterday entered the lobby and waved to his colleagues:

"Jitis, I'll go to the bathroom and come and change you."

The female receptionist Gitis was slightly surprised:

"Spanter, you are so punctual today."

Spant chuckled and said:

"I'm not like you, always late."

The "Old Tune Group" did not participate in the exchange between the two. They left the hall and found a nearby cafe to have breakfast.

Perhaps it is too far north, and the "White Knights" mainly communicate with the outside world to obtain food, arms and other supplies. There is no coffee in the cafe. The reason why it is still called a cafe is due to the habits left over from the old era.

After a breakfast of oatmeal, toast, etc., the "Old Tune Team" arrived at the Hunter's Guild near the castle.

It was located in a gray-black building that looked like a giant bunker. As soon as Jiang Baimian and others entered, they noticed a message scrolling on the large screen.

That was the mission to find the Bodhi statue.

According to reports, the Bodhi statue was lost three years ago. At that time, an ascetic brought it to Gerstburg. As a result, he himself sat next to a steel-making furnace in the factory area, and the Bodhi statue disappeared.

"It took three years to find it before you issued a mission to find it?" Long Yuehong muttered under her breath.

Isn't this too much of a delay?

Jiang Baimian nodded:

“On the Gray Earth, there is often poor communication between two nearby settlements, let alone one that is far apart.

"Perhaps the faction to which the ascetic belonged did not know his whereabouts until recently and knew that he died in Gerstburg."

While speaking, Jiang Baimian read the description of the item:

The Bodhi statue is fifty centimeters high, made of pure wood, and is brown in color. It has compassionate eyebrows and a painful look on its face.
