Embers Ad Infinitum

While chatting, Shang Jianyao and Jiang Baimian turned into West Street and walked towards the Hunter Guild.

At this time, it was still early in the day and the guild had not officially opened its doors yet. Only a few cleaning staff were busy inside.

Jiang Baimian was not in a hurry and walked slowly around the hall.

When she returned to the starting point, she "complained" to Shang Jianyao:

"There is no introduction from the guild's senior leaders...

"It's so unfair, just and open!"

Within "Pangu Biology", each unit must post the information of the main person in charge and the person in charge of related affairs on the wall.

"Maybe upstairs." Shang Jianyao raised his head and glanced at the ceiling.

"Who should I post it for?" Jiang Baimian found a few rows of chairs at the edge of the hall and sat down.

"It's so cold..." She rubbed her hands and sighed loudly.

"You can get up and move." Shang Jianyao said seriously.

Just as Jiang Baimian was about to say, "Hey, this opinion is quite normal," he heard Shang Jianyao add:

"Have a dance."

"..." Jiang Baimian said angrily and amusingly, "After completing the task, I can give you a holiday and let you dance as much as you want, wherever you want to dance!"

Shang Jianyao's eyes lit up and he fell into deep thought, seeming to be thinking about how to investigate the disappearance of the other "old tune team" better and faster.

After many relic hunters had breakfast and came to the hall, ready to choose tasks and run for their livelihood, the guild staff came down from upstairs one after another, or entered their positions, or started different machines.

Seeing this, Jiang Baimian stood up and led Shang Jianyao towards the Dayuantai area.

At this time, a figure passed by and got in front of them.

Because Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao both have quite outstanding appearances. Even if they wear clothes that are no different from most ruin hunters and use simple disguises, they are as eye-catching as fireflies in the dark night. Therefore, the man subconsciously turned his head. Glancing at them.

This is a man who is over 1.8 meters tall, almost the same as Shang Jianyao - this is quite rare among the group of ruin hunters who are generally malnourished.

He was wearing a dark black thick woolen coat. He was about thirty years old, with black hair and blue eyes. He had regular facial features. Although not handsome, he had the characteristics of both the Huitu and Honghe races. He had a deep outline and a particularly straight nose.

At the same time, he has a calm and confident temperament in his movements.

After watching the man walk to a window and take out a hunter badge, Shang Jianyao suddenly said:

"It's not a good thing if your nose is too sharp..."

Jiang Baimian thought about it carefully and then laughed in a low voice:

"You want to say that the tip of your nose is so red from the blowing?"

The man just now had a pretty good overall appearance, and he was not someone to be trifled with at first glance. The only drawback was that the tip of his nose was very red, which made him look a little funny.

"It's too cold outside." Shang Jianyao nodded, raised his hand and rubbed the tip of his nose.

"It wasn't much better when you first entered the hall..." Before Jiang Baimian finished speaking, he saw the guild clerk opposite the man stand up and hand the hunter badge out of the window with both hands, looking very respectful. .

His status is not low... Jiang Baimian muttered to himself silently and walked towards the edge window.

"I'll do it." Shang Jianyao walked a few steps quickly and surpassed the team leader.

"Don't." Jiang Baimian stopped him quickly.

She looked around and said in a lowered voice:

“Just leave the general goals to me.

"Don't abuse your abilities, be careful of exposure. Good steel must be used on good blades."

For awakened people, keeping their own abilities secret is also a very important thing.

If the enemy learns about it, not only will the ability be difficult to use, but it will also be easy to be deliberately targeted.

"Ah? What did you say?" Shang Jianyao touched his ears.

"..." At this moment, Jiang Baimian finally realized what it means to have a good time.

She gritted her teeth and asked:

"Is my voice too soft?"

"Yeah." Shang Jianyao nodded heavily.

"Then I'll keep it simple." Jiang Baimian returned to normal volume, "I'll do it!"

After saying that, without giving Shang Jianyao a chance to protest, she walked to the edge of the window in a few steps.

Inside was a girl in her early twenties, with short hair and big eyes, average appearance, but she was very tidy.

There is a nameplate on her chest with the words "Su Xiaoman" written on it.

"I want to issue a mission." Jiang Baimian showed a bright smile.

Faced with such a beautiful, polite and valiant woman, both men and women will naturally develop a favorable impression. Su Xiaoman was no exception and said with some enthusiasm:

"What is the mission?

"The review time for different tasks is different. If you can find a hunter guarantee with sufficient credit points, or have the experience of releasing tasks multiple times and fulfilling the contract seriously, the corresponding time will be shortened a lot."

"A very simple task, the reward is a military can." Jiang Baimian said with a smile, "I think you can also complete this task."

While talking, she took out the can of braised beef that she had prepared long ago from her pocket.

Seeing that the reward had been received, Su Xiaoman felt more relieved and asked with a smile:

"What's the mission?"

"I want to know who are the senior leaders of the guild." Jiang Baimian put on an expression that you know how to do. "I have just become a 'novice hunter' and am very new to the guild. I want to know more about them."

Su Xiaoman's smile did not change, and she reminded sincerely:

"Although President Christina does have some tasks that require high confidentiality and cannot be released publicly, they are not suitable for 'newbie hunters'. You should do simple things first, raise your points, and wait until you become one." Formal hunters, please think about this again."

"President Kristina..." Jiang Baimian repeated, smiling frankly, "Before you said it, I didn't know there were tasks that were not released publicly. Look, you are a real novice. I want to know more about it. The guild is mainly afraid of accidentally offending people who shouldn’t be offended. I think you seem to be very clear about it, why don’t you accept this task?”

Su Xiaoman accepted Jiang Baimian's words:

"It's nothing important.

"President Kristina is the vice-president transferred from the First City. She is responsible for communicating, coordinating, and cooperating with the guild headquarters and different regional guilds. At the same time, she also masters all tasks that are not convenient for public release, and cooperates with many Higher level hunters have direct contact.”

A 500-gram can of braised beef is worth at least 1 ore in Weed City, and sometimes even more. It is not a small temptation for guild staff whose monthly salary is less than 30 ore.

"How old is she?" Jiang Baimian asked casually.

"More than thirty, long blond hair, light blue eyes, about the same height as you, quite cheerful." Su Xiaoman roughly described the characteristics of Vice President Christina, so as not to offend the newcomer in front of her who shouldn't be offended. people.

"Well..." Jiang Baimian turned to ask, "Where are the other senior officials?"

Su Xiaoman said in detail:

"The president is also the city lord. His name is Xu Liyan. He is about the same age as me. He was only elected as the city lord a few years ago..."

Jiang Baimian knew this information, and even knew that Xu Liyan was the grandson of the greatest city lord Xu De - his father Xu Wugong also served as a city lord, but died of illness in his forties. At that time, Xu Liyan was only ten years old. Six or seven years old.

"The president is mainly responsible for finance and auditing. He often doesn't come over and just sends a few subordinates to manage it." Su Xiaoman continued, "We also have two vice-presidents, one named Cui En and the other My name is Zhou Linfeng. President Cui is mainly in charge of us, as far as the Hunter Hall is concerned. President Zhou is in charge of security and our own mercenaries. Haha, you can also join, and you can retreat if you want."

"What do they look like?" Jiang Baimian asked in a softer way.

"President Cui is less than fifty years old. He was born as a clerk. Later he worked as a relic hunter for a period of time. He is very knowledgeable about all aspects of affairs. His hair is not white at all, but not that much. He is tall and thin and has a sharp nose. A little big..." Su Xiaoman recalled the appearance of the senior executives, "President Zhou must be in his forties. He is very strong and strong, and his arms are as thick as my legs. His hair is shaved short and he looks fierce, but It’s actually quite kind…”

"Are there no other high-level officials?" Jiang Baimian found no one who matched his age.

Su Xiaoman thought for a moment and said:

"And Chief Wang.

"He is the 'chief hunter' of our guild."

"Chief Hunter" is an honorary title in the Hunter Guild. There is only one in each region. It mainly depends on seniority rather than current ability.

"What's his name?" Jiang Baimian asked.

"Wang Chongyue." Su Xiaoman replied, "He must be in his fifties. If no one introduces him, he would just be an ordinary old man. But he joined the guild when it was first established, and later he was promoted to 'Master Hunter' ', and has completed countless tasks. He is now in charge of the training department of the guild, including the training of new hunters. If there are classes, you can sign up to learn them, and the tuition fee is only nominal."

"Okay." Jiang Baimian nodded gently.

Seeing that the "chief hunter" Wang Chongyue was not suitable for his age, she stopped and asked with a smile:

"Are there any other things to note?"

Su Xiaoman talked a lot more, and more and more ruin hunters came over and started lining up.

Seeing this, Jiang Baimian smiled and pushed the military can into the window:

"You accomplished this task well."

Su Xiaoman raised her head and glanced at the surveillance camera not far away, then turned her eyes slightly and said:

“It has to be formal.

"I'll help you post this task right away."

As she spoke, she created a task.

Jiang Baimian responded thoughtfully:

"The name of the mission is 'Assist in understanding the guild'."

Not directly directed at the guild's top brass.

Su Xiaoman nodded, quickly submitted the task and reviewed it.

Then, she took out a hunter badge, swiped it lightly, and accepted the task.

Then she clicked Task Complete.

"This is very formal." After doing this, Su Xiaoman smiled and took the can, "And I can also accumulate credit points, and you can also get more credit for fulfilling the contract."

The most important thing is that this is no longer a private exchange.

"Not bad." Jiang Baimian praised.

She turned to ask:

"Who was that person just now?

"I see that your colleagues respect him very much."

She was referring to the man in the black woolen coat.

Su Xiaoman thought about it for a moment, then lowered her voice and said:

“I can’t say the name.

"I can only tell you that he is already a 'senior hunter' before he is thirty years old!"

This is the level second only to the "Master Hunter", which is enough to show that the corresponding person always has one aspect that is very outstanding in terms of resources, connections, and strength.
