Chapter 120: Mercenary
Lin Xiao's face turned black. Of course he could see that! What he wanted to know was why it turned out like this?
"I'm not asking what is this, but what happened."
"I failed once and the inside explode," Wenren Yu explained. He took out a bottle and handed it to Lin Xiao. "Just throw the pill inside to any enemies you want to paralyze. Also, do you need Qi Gathering Pill? If not, I'll use it for myself."
"No need. I'm heading to the Mercenary Association."
"Oh, you want to register now?"
Lin Xiao nodded. "We're only staying here until New Year, right? I need to earn enough money then figure out the place that Elder Wang want me to visit."
"Alright. Let's go."
Heading to Lin Yun's room, Lin Xiao was utterly speechless when he saw the mess. It seemed that these two had come into tacit agreement to create mess in the rooms. Thankfully, they didn't destroy any of the furniture.
It was only dirty.
"Oh, brother. I'm done." Lin Yun grinned.
Lin Xiao nodded then looked at Wenren Yu. The latter gave a bottle to Lin Yun which contained pills that was rich in Yang energy. So far, Lin Yun's condition had improved by leaps and bounds, but he didn't know whether it would be the same in the future or not, so they had to prepare a lot of medicine.
"You know, it's easier to just find a girl that's…."
"Brother!"
"Let's go and check out."
"The mess?"
"Well, we'll just tell them that the room is a little bit dirty," Lin Xiao said after a while. Cleaning both room would surely take a long time. It was no wonder that people would have separate training room or special room when they did their concoction. With this room current condition, it wouldn't be weird if the entire room was destroyed if they chose to create harder to make medicine.
"Ok."
The three of them check out then chose to depart right away lest that the people from the inn seek them for cleaning.
"AA! The room is a mess!"
"It's more than just dirty!"
Thankfully, the furniture was not broken, but the ash was hard to clean. If the furniture were to be destroyed, they would surely seek the three people who stayed in this inn to pay for the damage they caused.
Meanwhile, Lin Xiao and the others were going to Mercenary Association.
The building was located at the other end of the city, making it hard for them to reach their destination quickly. As they walked on the street, they also heard the story from Du Family about the Street Performance.
"Excuse me, you said that there's something that happened in Du Family?"
A young man nodded. "Yes, after there's a cultivator who entered enlightenment, Du Family asked Street Performance to keep on playing for the entire day. They also got paid decently and even asked to become the family personal musician, but they eventually refused in the end."
Lin Xiao's lips twitched. He turned to look at Wenren Yu. "That happens?"
"Enlightenment is rare, so they must grab any chance to be able to have enlightenment," Wenren Yu explained helplessly. Even he didn't expect that the Street Performance Group got into trouble because of Lin Xiao.
If only it was possible, he somehow wanted to get away from Lin Xiao too.
"Let's go and sign up first," Lin Yun reminded.
"Oh right."
The three of them headed to the Mercenary Association and registered. Because Lin surname might be eye catching despite the fact that there were a lot of people with Lin surname that had no relation to the Royal Family, the siblings still only registered with their name without surname.
"Xiao, Yun, and Yu," Lin Xiao murmured. "Well, it's not that bad."
Wenren Yu resisted the urge to roll his eyes. What was not bad? It was just their name.
Registering as mercenary was very easy because they only needed to show their plate then said their name. The plate that was given by the guard would be their base cultivation that was recorded.
Xiao, Body Training Rank 6
Yun, Body Training Rank 8
Yu, Body Training Rank 6
Lin Yun wanted to cry when he noticed that he was the strongest one in the record. In fact, he was the weakest because his fighting experience was the lowest and his control was the poorest. However, he certainly couldn't say that they were manipulating the result to make it lower than what it was supposed to be.
"If you wish to accept mission, you can go to the board over there," the woman receptionist explained generously.
"Thank you."
The three of them headed to the board and realized that the missions had rank at the side. It was advisable for them to pick mission based on their current rank, but it didn't mean that they couldn't take any mission with higher rank.
The ranking in mercenary started from F, which was their current rank. It was the lowest rank that even children could reach.
"Do you want to take test to get higher rank?" Lin Yun asked while pointing to the line at the side. There was also an examination if they didn't want to start at the very bottom. If Lin Xiao also feel dissatisfied with his result, he just have to take the test and showed his prowess.
"What's the use?" Lin Xiao rolled his eyes. He didn't want to show off his rank when it was unnecessary. He looked at the missions in front of him. Each mission had different reward, some were only gold while some can be items and even beasts.
Of course, those with unique reward usually rank higher.
"Can we take more than 1 mission?" Lin Xiao asked.
Wenren Yu nodded. "Yes. you can take as many missions as you want. However, every missions have time limit and if you didn't manage to finish it within the allocated time, you have to pay the penalty fees and there will be other people who would do the missions."
"Hmm, in that case, let's take these."
"…are you serious?"
