Chapter 33 (2/2)
Shadow Chaser took a look at the Night Elf in front of her. Alucard Night. Just from the name itself, he seemed just like a normal Night Elf NPC. These guys were all the same. When Moon Scar•Shadow Chaser had just started to playing the game, she was quite interested in chatting with these NPCs, as she thought that she could trigger some special events with them. Thus, she would try her best to play her role—a cold female Night Elf Bandit who was filled with righteousness. Afterwards, she realized it was just a complete waste of time because it was impossible for level 1 civilians to have any mission of value. At most, it would be those small missions with a romantic story plot. Those casual players that liked to experience the story plots might still be surprised, but to professional gamers like her, who sought after benefits, such things were useless. So as time passed, she became too lazy to even pay attention to them.
“Talk if you have business. If not, scram.”
“Hehe, this beautiful lady indeed has quite the personality. In reality, I do have something that requires your help.”
“Tell me what it is. I’ll say in advance that it’s quite expensive to ask me for help.”
“$200 an hour, right? Professionals are definitely worth this price, it’s just uncertain if you’re worthy enough of such a price.”
“Huh, you aren’t a NPC?” This time it was Moon Scar•Shadow Chaser’s turn to be shocked. She thought that she was quite accurate in judging people. Regardless of the Mode players in the game played, they would always give people a feeling of being out of place. However, the person in front of her had actually given her the feeling that he was really an NPC, thus she was instantly interested.
“Tell me, what is your mission?”
“Very simple. I would like for you to steal an item for me, an item that is extremely important to this village. This item is within the Nature Shrine of the village.”
“Have you gone crazy?” Although Moon Scar•Shadow Chaser was very confident in her skills, she still had a clear understanding of her limits on some things.
“I wouldn’t dare to steal the items in the shrine. I would be listed as wanted if I did that. I’m not interested in temporarily escaping to the wild and becoming a monster. Just $200 is not worth it for me to take such a huge risk, so it’s better for you to find someone else.”
“Of course, I would not have you do that yourself. In fact, I’d be the one taking it. You’d only need to guarantee my safety when I am taking it and kill any Adventurers trying to stop me. As for the guard NPCs in the shrine, I will deal with them. How’s that sound?”
Moon Scar•Shadow Chaser hesitated for a moment. She still dared to kill Adventurers, as there was no evil score for killing them.
“Alright, then. However, the price is not cheap. It’s $1000.”
No problem. Xiao Yu had no objections at all because due to the importance of this mission, he was willing to spend $1000. This was part of being a professional gamer—one had to invest money to earn money. As long as one’s Mode advanced, then everything could be earned back. However, to be on the safe side, they still had to sign a contract.
Xiao Yu spent five minutes drafting a game employment contract. It basically meant that Xiao Yu had hired Moon Scar•Shadow Chaser to help Xiao Yu steal a treasure from the shrine on the day the monsters attacked the city. The hiring fee was $1,000. If the contract was broken, one would need to pay ten times the hiring fee.
In this era, as there were many professional gamers, the contract law in the game was already very complete. Thus, there was basically no worry that the other party would violate the contract. Thus, after the two of them discussed the details of their cooperation, Xiao Yu went offline.
Now Xiao Yu only had to wait for the time to arrive.
