Chapter 155: Gossip (4 updates)
Day 2, early morning.

The bright sunshine illuminated the brand-new bay.

Announces the beginning of a new day!
The residential area under construction in the city continues to be busy.

Workers in various factories also began to go out one after another.

The pioneers have also received the news and will start work as normal today.

The people of the Gulf Territory, who were still frightened by the scene of fish-men wreaking havoc yesterday, soon found out in surprise.

The closed city gate was still open as usual.

Soldiers lined up patrolling the city wall.

Nothing seems to have changed.

However, when they walked outside the city gate.

You can see that the battlefield that has not been cleaned up is full of fish-man wreckage and struggling fish-man prisoners.

When everyone finds out.

Kill a murloc and catch its body to get a reward of 1 silver coin.

If you catch a living fishman, you can even receive a reward of two silver coins.

Many people are a little ready to make a move.

But most people looked at the cultivated fields and recalled the treatment of reserve soldiers and even regular soldiers in the Gulf Territory, and gave up this unrealistic idea.

Don't pick up the sesame seeds and lose the watermelon.

However, this is a very good bounty mission for many adventurers who are weak and have difficulty entering the dark forest to capture dangerous trolls.

They can first accept a patrol mission on the bank of the Silver Moon River near the Bay Territory, with a salary of 1 silver coin for half a day.

You can enjoy a free lunch and be free to hunt or catch fishmen on the shore.

As long as they are diligent, every adventurer can earn about 3 to 5 silver coins in this half day.

If accumulated, it would be a considerable fortune.

In order to make these junior adventurers more interested, Matthew also issued a very special territorial decree:

"Everyone whose contribution value reaches 100 can study for free in the territory and obtain a primary ability (expertise)!"

This has great appeal for junior adventurers who want to improve their strength but have no money, resources, or connections.

Of course, Matthew wanted to include all adventurers with professional levels into the territory.

But everyone has their own ideas and difficulties, and Matthew will not force it.

"As long as you help me with work, provide experience points, and contribute more to the territory, you will be a good tool man!"

The transport team lined up neatly, escorted by 300 soldiers, drove out of the city gate and headed towards the direction of the Misty Swamp.

Along the way, the soldiers ran and marched in order, attracting the attention of many people.

The uniform movements, the exquisite and strong armor, the bright and sharp weapons, and the attractive benefits posted on the bulletin board all issued a silent urging to them:
"Eat more, train hard, become a reserve soldier, and change your destiny!"

Matthew saw the expectation and yearning in their eyes, unraveled the deep meaning little by little, and told Angela and Yaya beside him.

"The first reason why we don't choose directly among them is to ensure fairness."

"Even if it is only fair to a certain extent, it can greatly stimulate everyone's sense of identity."

"The second reason is to stimulate everyone's enthusiasm. Whether they are soldiers, citizens, or adventurers, they will spontaneously compare themselves with others."

"What we have to do is very simple."

"Set a clear and clear criterion, select the corresponding talents according to the rules, and the rest will work on their own initiative."

“Just like the managers we’re about to select, it’s going to be great for them as well.”

"This is far more effective than us holding a whip and driving behind them..."

Of course, Matthew didn’t say anything about the deeper things yet.

Because the situations he mentioned are ideal states that do not include the influence of human factors.These are just the transitional systems in Matthew’s grand ideal!
Matthew has better plans for the future!

The convoy gradually drove away from the bay area, leaving the endless flat wasteland and heading towards the fishman camp in the misty swamp.

They'll arrive before the sun goes down!
Bloodmoon City, Adventurer Street.

The adventurer's hall, which has a relatively simple decoration outside but is quite large in scale, is bustling with excitement at this time.

On weekdays, there are many people here.

The adventurers just come and go in a hurry.

It's rare that so many people are crowded here like today, discussing non-stop.

A few curious adventurers walked in, wanting to start a new day by gathering some free information.

Even if it cannot be converted into tasks or bounties, it can still be used as a pastime before tea and dinner, or while chatting about adventures.

A young adventurer finally squeezed in.

At first glance, I saw a task marked in light blue on the task list on the arcane screen in the Adventurer Hall.

Logically speaking, the blue mission words, which represent barely close to the intermediate level, will not attract the attention of too many adventurers.

But when the young adventurer read the contents of the mission, he was immediately dumbfounded:

"A reward of 5000 gold coins is offered to find the entrance to the underground ruins near the Misty Swamp, Bay Territory, and the Murloc Camp!"

"Adventurers who have accepted this mission: 6875!"

"Accept the requirements of this task, level 1 professional!"

Unable to help but take in a breath of cold air, the young adventurer then widened his eyes and read the mission content several times.

"5000 gold coins? Is it real or fake?"

"I know the Misty Swamp, but where is the Bay Territory? Who is the lord?"

"There is no professional level requirement for this mission. So, as a level 2 rogue, can't I also receive it?"

"Is this mission true or false?"

In just one or two minutes, he saw that the number of adventurers accepting the mission increased by hundreds in an instant.

The discussion among the other adventurers around him instantly tempted the young man.

"This mission must be real!"

"Not to mention that the other party has already paid a bounty of 1000 gold coins for the task. The person who put up this bounty task is Mr. Adam Smith, who has become famous recently!"

"Mr. Adam Smith? Is he the one from the Thorn Chamber of Commerce?"

"That's right, it's the Mr. Adam Smith who solved the Redwood Chamber of Commerce!"

"I know this. Laird Bacon of the Redwood Chamber of Commerce made the first move and summoned a bandit group of more than 2000 people. In the end, they just couldn't capture the Thorn Chamber of Commerce's convoy."

"Mr. Adam Smith pretended not to know anything on the surface, but secretly sent people to kill everyone in the Redwood Chamber of Commerce!"

"Even including everyone in the Bacon family."

"Why didn't I know that such a big thing happened?"

"Oh, the rumors have gone crazy these past two days. The city lord even sent people to check the Bacon family's manor, but there was no news after that."

"It seems that Mr. Adam Smith did a very clean job..."

"..."

The young adventurer did not listen to the rest of the story.

In his eyes, there was only the shining 5000 gold coins!

　Ask for a follow-up order, ask for a monthly ticket!
