Starting from Zero

"Do you think I am the kind of person who can accidentally get injured because of terrain problems?" I have no intention of accepting the little girl's self-recommendation. The terrain of Westminster City is indeed very complicated. The probability of getting lost or getting injured due to terrain is indeed high, but I am not an average person. If I can't even adapt to this change in terrain, how can I be worthy of the title of world number one?

The little girl seems to be staring at me today. After I asked, she immediately said: "With your strength, of course, you won't be injured by a little bit of terrain, but are you not afraid of getting lost?"

I directly refused: "I can identify the direction. The special equipment for me, the guide is really unnecessary for me. You should go find someone else. Don’t waste time with me."

"But you are really sure that you only rely on your own equipment Can you find where you are going? There is a magnetic field between the peaks here. General equipment is not useful."

I am very sure nodded and said: "Sorry, I really You don’t need a guide. If there’s nothing else, please let me go.” As I said, I took a step to the side and then bypassed the little girl and walked out of the teleportation hall. The little girl looked very anxious when I walked over and seemed to want to go. Stop me, but don't know how to speak. Of course I saw all of her actions, but I didn't say much.

This little beauty is definitely not an ordinary guide. Although I don't know why she insists on hiring her, one thing is certain. She was definitely not for the little reward that the guide could get.

After leaving the teleportation hall, I walked directly in the direction of the north city gate. The south city gate of Westminster is at the lowest point of the city, while the north city gate is at the highest point of the city. After exiting the north city gate, there is a winding mountain road outside. If you walk up here, you will find a small platform not far away. There are three fork roads to the north from this platform. Two of them go up the mountain, and the other is the entrance to the cave, but I don't know where they all lead.

Although this platform is not big, there are many people. Near the entrance of the platform, neat and tidy are lined up with rows of stalls, where some players sell various supplies and necessary equipment for the stool. Because the stalls here are outside the city, there is no need to pay a management fee to the system city, so the items on the stalls are much cheaper than those in the city. Although many players did not know that there is a free market here, they bought the things they needed in the city early, but because the things here are really cheap, there will still be many players staying here and preparing to buy more things.

In addition to the people who set up stalls and buy, a large group of people gathered at the exit of this platform, but they were divided into two camps. Among them, the camp with a large number of people is very mixed with equipment and occupations. It is obviously a player from outside, who should be looking for a team at the intersection. The group on the other side has a smaller number of people, but the professions are basically fixed in the Two Great Factions of the archer and the hunter. At first glance, they are local players. Judging from their performance, most of this group of people did a job with the little girl on the side of the teleportation hall before, that is, the guide. However, these talents in front of them are real guides, while the little girl before has obviously other intentions.

I rejected little girl because I saw her intentions were not pure, so I firmly rejected her guide job. But as far as the actual situation is concerned, I still need a guide. The job of guides is not just as simple as leading the way, they are often also hazard detectors. I don’t know the abilities of mountain guides, but I have hired a swamp guide before. The swamps that looked exactly the same were indistinguishable to me, but the guide could tell me exactly which place was on the hard ground, and which place would sink into it as soon as I stepped on it. This is their experience. Moreover, in addition to the terrain, guides generally have an understanding of local dangerous creatures. If you want to find some local flora and fauna or investigate a certain area, hiring a guide can often save a lot of time.

Because I understand the importance of guides, I did not plan to enter the mountains alone. I haven't looked for a guide in the city before. In addition to that little girl, there is another reason that I know that there are players who act as guides at the entrance of the general leveling area, not necessarily looking for it in the city.

The things on the stall are of no use to me. Because of the existence of the Phoenix Dragon Space, I have always had no shortage of backup materials, so I don’t need to add them at any time. Go straight through the stall area, walked to the middle of the group of guides, and immediately surrounded me before I could speak. These people are here to pick up business all day long, and they can naturally see who wants to hire a guide. When I walked directly here, it was obvious that I had the idea of ​​hiring a guide.

"Excuse me, do you want to hire a guide?" Although the group of people surrounded them, they did not rush to pull the business. Obviously, they have their own rules to determine who will pick up the business.

I nodded and asked: "What scope does your guide work include? I may need to run a long distance, but I don't want to go halfway because the guide refuses to walk and then turn back."

An older person in the group of guides immediately replied as soon as I heard me: "We have a small number of people who need a guide every day, so we have seen all kinds of weird requests. If you just need to run farther, there is no problem. But in order for you to play well and avoid disputes later, you'd better make an agreement with us on the content of the service first."

" Of course."

"Okay, then I will ask you to answer. The first is the calculation method of the cost. Do you set the price at one time or time it?"

"Time it . I don’t know how long it will take to come out."

The other party nodded and said: "Then the next question, are you alone or with your companions? Because there are many people and few people, it is definitely difficult to lead the team. It’s different, so the cost will be different. If you have too many people in your team, we may even need multiple guides to work together."

"I’m alone, but I have a lot of summon creatures. , Does this count?"

"If you don’t need us to be responsible for the death of your summon creature, then it’s okay."

I smiled and said: "Don’t be responsible, my summon Of course I am responsible for the creature."

The other party nodded and said: "Then do you need guide protection during the mission?"

"No."

"Does the guide need to participate in the war? One of our agreements is that the guide will not go to help the battle if he hides himself when encountering danger, and the other is that the guide will also participate in the battle, but will not desperately die."

I thought about it and said: "You don't need to fight, you just need to protect yourself."

The other party nodded continued: "Can you estimate the mission time? Is there an approximate range? Do you need our guide? Provide survival supplies?"

"I am not sure about the mission time. It shouldn't be more than three days. I am responsible for the materials."

"Last question. You go into the mountains. Do I need to enter the high level monster area? High level personnel with strong battle strength must act as guides in high-risk areas, so the cost must be much higher than that of low-level personnel."

"I don’t know this either. Anyway, I need to go deep into the mountain. I think there should be high level creatures in that place, right? As for the safety of the guide, you can rest assured that I can protect the guide and myself. But you'd better arrange for one. High level guide, because I have something to go into the mountain, It may move faster on the road, and low-level personnel may not necessarily keep up. "

"Then I will arrange the strongest guide for you. "The older guide beckoned to the back, and then two players came over. One of the two is an Elf Race archer MM, and the other is a male hunter professional player." These two It is the strongest guide under my hand. Who would you like to invite? If you are not sure about yourself, I suggest you choose A Duo, her profession and your profession are more compatible. However, Sauter's hunter professional comprehensive ability is relatively strong, and the specifics depend on what you think. "

"Can I hire two people together?" "

"What? Two please? "The other party originally thought I would choose one of the two, but didn't expect me to ask two guides at once.

"Why? is it not OK? "

The other party immediately replied: "It's not impossible to invite two guides at a time. We sometimes take a large tour group to travel in the mountains. We have dispatched more than 20 guides at a time, and two of them will be invited together. Of course it is also possible. But are you really sure you need two people? The service charge for two guides would have to be doubled. "

"No problem, you can count the money. "

Seeing that I was so determined, the other party didn’t say anything anymore, he just bowed his head and calculated it on the paper, and then said: "You choose to charge by time, according to the service content you choose, one time If you ask them both, you need to pay twenty-four crystal coins each hour, are you sure? "

Two people have twenty-four crystal coins, that is, no one has twelve each hour. A crystal coin is ten yuan renminbi, which means that the charge for these two people is each hour per person. One hundred and twenty yuan. Calculated based on the actual tour guide's salary, this cost is quite high, but in the game, unlike the actual tour guide, there is a shopping rebate. Secondly, this is a battle tour guide, which may hang halfway. I’m back. If you lose the level, you will have to re-train the players as a guide. This kind of loss is quite big. Besides, I’m going alone this time. If there are many people in the team, the fee will increase, but the average will be higher. Everyone will reduce it a lot, so the charge is a little higher, but it is understandable.

"No problem, I can accept twenty-four crystal coins per hour. "

"Well, let's sign the contract now. The working time is calculated from ten minutes after the contract is signed. You have to give the three-day fee to the system. When you come back, you will calculate the task time based on the time you stepped on the platform, and then the system will automatically deduct the fee. The excess part will be returned to you. If the task time exceeds the three-day range you set, then you can choose to pay the agreement money to continue the contract, or our guide will terminate the contract and leave immediately. No problem, just agree. "
