Chapter 431 Reward

Having made up his mind, Chen Qiang quickened his pace.

Passing through the downtown blocks of Despair City, passing through the blocks where residents live, and even where the rich and powerful in the city live, all the way to the gate at the other end of Despair City.

It is worth mentioning that.

Along the way, Chen Qiang discovered that in addition to major shops and stalls recruiting various handyman apprentices, even ordinary residents were asking for help for a fee. As for the rich and powerful, they were even recruiting servants to guard their homes.

Along the way, Chen Qiang helped several residents complete their requests and received a total of 30 yuan in reward.

And when he came to the gate of the other end of the city, he finally understood why there were so many workers in this desperate city.

Because the gate guard at the exit of the city stopped Chen Qiang directly and asked him to pay two gold coins before he could leave.

As for these guards, Chen Qiang scanned around them. There were about a hundred people on and off the city. The leader was an immortal cultivator, and the rest were all golden immortals.

"One thousand gold and two gold..."

Chen Qiang suddenly felt a headache, that is, ten thousand taels of silver, ten thousand yuan of money!

The few requests he just completed along the way were only thirty coins and took about an hour.

If he only relied on this method to save money, he would be too exhausted to leave this city of despair for a month. If he couldn't get out, it would mean elimination!

At this point, Chen Qiang finally understood why this city was called the City of Despair.

Fortunately, there are many jobs in the city. Chen Qiang plans to use the rest of the first day to find out the prices of most jobs in the city, so that he can make his next choice.

Chen Qiang couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly. Fortunately, he had experience in his previous life, which kept him from being at a loss.

This level is a great test for most of the proud ones!

Just imagine, letting these young masters and ladies who have been born with fine clothes and fine food and do not eat grains work?

"This city of despair makes people despair just thinking about it."

Chen Qiang said silently in his heart, after having the comparison, his body became much lighter.

Towards evening, Chen Qiang sat in a wine shop and ordered a plate of beef and two large steamed buns with the thirty coins he got during the day.

In this city, it was rare for him to feel hungry again. In other words, he still needed to consider his daily consumption.

While enjoying the meal, I was silently calculating in my mind.

"The most profitable thing in the city is working as an errand in the government office."

"With my strength, it's not a big problem to find a position as a police officer."

"A police officer earns one tael of silver a day. Although it is not the highest, the advantage is that he has free time. He can patrol the streets all the time and can hold many jobs at the same time."

"But since you feel hungry, you should also feel sleepy, so you probably won't be able to do much at night."

"If you work part-time, I estimate that if you work hard every day, you can earn up to five taels of silver..."

"Damn it, that is to say, not counting daily consumption, it is impossible to complete the appearance fee of two gold even if I work endlessly for a month!"

"Nima, I'm really desperate, but luckily I found a bounty mission today. If you complete some high-value bounties, each one can cost hundreds of taels of silver. If you can complete one or two of them every day, you can still achieve it."

"call......"

"Looks like we have to fight hard!"

Finally biting down the last bite of steamed bun in his hand, Chen Qiang raised his head and shouted: "Waiter, check out!"

Soon, the waiter ran over and said respectfully: "Sir, have you finished your meal?"

Chen Qiang nodded.

"Okay, sir, twenty coins for beef and five coins for steamed buns, a total of twenty-five coins."

The waiter glanced at the plates on the table and quoted the price.

Naturally, Chen Qiang had read the prices first. It was consistent with his understanding that the prices here were not expensive, so he didn't say much and just handed over thirty yuan.

"The remaining five coins are for you."

The waiter's face lit up with joy and he said quickly: "Thank you for the reward, young master. Judging from his appearance, he is also a martial arts practitioner."

"It's going to be night soon. I wonder if Young Master is planning to complete the reward from the City Lord's Mansion?"

Chen Qiang raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "Oh? The reward from the City Lord's Mansion?"

"Second brother, can you say a few words? I just entered the city today, so I'm not sure yet."

The waiter looked at Chen Qiang and said with a smile: "No wonder the young master looks so unfamiliar. It turns out he just arrived today."

"It's okay not to know what's going on at night in our city of despair."

"Speaking of it, it's because at night, there are always evil spirits raging in this city of despair, hurting passers-by, and even evil spirits even go straight into people's homes to harvest the sun!"

"For this reason, the city lord's palace has personally issued a reward. For every Yin spirit captured or killed, the reward will be one hundred taels of silver, and for each evil spirit, the reward will be three hundred taels of silver!"

"Hiss...!" Hearing this, Chen Qiang took a deep breath of air.

A Yin spirit costs one hundred taels, and an evil spirit costs three hundred taels!

If more than a dozen or twenty of them come in one night, it won't take long to reach the cost of two gold coins to leave the city.

As expected of the City Lord's Mansion, although the strength of these Yin and Evil spirits is still unclear, Chen Qiang is willing to give it a try no matter what.

"Thank you for informing me, second brother. I wonder if I need to go to the city lord's mansion to claim this reward, or what?"

Hearing Chen Qiang's sincere inquiry, the shop boy quickly said politely: "There is no need to go to such trouble. You only need to capture or kill him and then go to the city lord's mansion to receive the reward."

Chen Qiang nodded, and then asked: "Little brother, I wonder if I can wait here until the Yin spirit and the evil spirit appear, and then leave?"

The boy in the store was shocked when he heard this. He did not expect that the young master in front of him would actually go. He quickly said: "If the young master can really eliminate harm to the people, it will be too late for us to be happy."

"Sir, please wait a moment. I will report to my shopkeeper right now."

After that, he hurriedly left. Not long after, a middle-aged man hurried back with the boy in the shop.

When the middle-aged man saw Chen Qiang, he immediately became excited, walked quickly to him, and held Chen Qiang's hands tightly.

"I heard that the young master is going to drive away evil spirits. The young master is very righteous!"

"You can use my land as you wish. In addition, I will immediately order someone to prepare more wine and food so that the young master can have a full meal!"

"How can a warrior who exorcises evil spirits only eat some beef and steamed buns?"

"Huh?" Chen Qiang was caught off guard by the shopkeeper's enthusiasm.

"Are these Yin and Evil spirits very strong?"

Chen Qiang couldn't help but think to himself, but soon, a rich table of dishes was served, including chicken, duck, fish, and fine wines, which made him couldn't help but move his fingers.

"Whatever, I need silver anyway."

"If I can't beat you, why can't I hide?"

“It’s a good idea to go and see something after eating and drinking!”

Having made up his mind, Chen Qiang enjoyed the delicious food with peace of mind and patiently waited for the fall of night and the appearance of the evil spirit.

Time passed slowly, and before I knew it, the sound of a watchman sounded outside.

"At one watch, evil spirits are about to appear, so don't leave anyone idle on the road!"

In the wine shop, Chen Qiang narrowed his eyes and put down the wine glass in his hand.
Chapter completed!
