PFC Chapter 9: Do you also share mission experience points?
Chapter 9: Do you also share mission experience points?
At the west gate, Bright waited cautiously.
Looking at the intelligence report, a hint of anxiety appeared on his face.
Intelligence 1: All the doctors' families on Rose Avenue have been kidnapped, and the security guards responsible for Rose Avenue's safety have also had their families taken into custody. It seems that changing the fate of the Rose Avenue security officer Elsie has not changed the Forest Heart's determination.
Intelligence 2: Mysterious pollen has swept through the entire Holy Stone City, and the city is about to experience a major flu outbreak. Doctors in Holy Stone City will be very busy, and the poison of the Thousand-Faced Flower will turn all the nobles of Holy Stone City into puppets.
Intelligence 3: Player Wang Gou Dan has successfully gained the trust of the city lord's wife.
Intelligence 4: The secrets of the forest can be obtained through corpses. You are the only level 9 corpse collector in Holy Stone City. If you can gain more experience to reach level 10, you can unlock the panel and use your extraordinary traits to advance your class.
Intelligence 5: Players can request and share the experience gained from completing commissioned tasks. The stored experience can be used to upgrade any profession. You can choose to use it to upgrade the Corpse Collector profession, or you can use it to upgrade other acquired professions. Experience is valuable, so please use it carefully.
A series of new pieces of information left Bright almost unable to process it, and waves of shock washed over him.
First of all, my initial thought was correct. The Forest Heart Cult was extremely dangerous. As originally intended, the female knight Elsie exposed her identity as a member of the Blood Cult, which led to all the security guards on Rose Avenue being detained and investigated by the prosecutor. Due to the lack of security guards on Rose Avenue, all the doctors' families were kidnapped by the followers of the Forest Heart, resulting in the doctors being secretly controlled.
Elsie has survived, but the outcome remains the same. This shows that the Forest Heart organization has secretly accumulated considerable military strength, managing to control the Rose Avenue security guards without a sound.
Bright knew that Rose Avenue had become popular with the middle class in recent years, attracting almost 90% of the middle-class elites of Holy Stone City. They had a very strong ability to pay taxes, and the city lord had increased security forces to maintain this tax revenue. The number of security personnel on Rose Avenue was almost second only to those in the noble districts.
Nearly a hundred fully armed soldiers patrolled day and night. The fact that such a force could be controlled silently shows that the cult called Heart of the Forest is no ordinary organization!
Intelligence 2: Pollen is sweeping the city and will bring the flu, but we still need to control the doctors to make the nobles infected with the Thousand-Faced Flower Poison. This means that the terrible virus that Dog Egg mentioned, which can turn people into real vegetative states, cannot be transmitted through the air. We still need the cooperation of doctors to control the nobles of Holy Stone City with this poison.
The Forest Heart wants to infect the entire aristocratic circle with the flower poison, which is obviously a huge conspiracy. If people like me from the bottom don't run away now, I may not even have a chance to escape!
But looking further made Bright, who was already planning to run away, hesitate again. That Dog Egg looked loud and boisterous, but his actions were surprisingly reliable. Not only did he capture the Blood Cult's envoy alive, but he also gained the city lord's wife's trust so quickly? Could he get a thousand or two gold dollars this time?
Based on the previous promise of a 20% commission, I should get at least three or four hundred, right?
Three or four hundred gold dollars! In a big city like Milan, you could live a life of luxury for decades without buying a house, right? If you're lucky, you might even get a decent job. He doesn't ask for much; he doesn't dare dream of being a doctor or lawyer, but buying a business is no problem.
Then the information that followed made him even less willing to leave immediately. First of all, when did he become a level nine corpse collector?
When I inherited the crematorium, I was only level one, right? And a corpse collector can change jobs after reaching level ten? Seriously? I thought it was just a lowly profession. Can this kind of profession even advance? And it requires extraordinary traits? Are you kidding me? Who would want to use extraordinary traits on this kind of profession?
And then there was the fifth piece of information, which made his heart race the most.
Player experience points from completing quests...can be shared?
What does this mean?
I used to be one of those gamers who loved playing games. Based on my experience, players get experience points for completing tasks. If this applies to this world, shouldn't the rewards be exclusive to the players? But I can share them?
In other words, this information broker can not only get the players' mission rewards for free, but also get their experience points for free?
Ouch... Holy crap!
The most crucial point is that the experience information says it can store experience and be used to upgrade any profession, which is just too overpowered.
If I understand correctly, the experience points that players give you can be used to upgrade any profession, such as a doctor. This profession requires a lot of professional knowledge and experience, as well as a lot of surgical experience to upgrade. But does having stored experience mean that you can quickly become a high-level doctor?
For example, combat professions such as samurai, assassins, and wandering knights.
I never thought of becoming a combat profession before. The reason is simple: I am not a player and cannot be born with the attributes of a warrior like others. Many samurai train their physique from childhood and are only granted the warrior profession by noble lords after reaching a certain level.
Having worked as a corpse collector for so many years, he had never received any military training. Even if he spent a fortune to buy a soldier's identity and retrained himself, it would be difficult for him to achieve much at his age. Go back to the battlefield to fight? Did he dare?
So even though he obtained the divine blood of the Blood Cult, he had no intention of becoming a combat profession. Even if he were to awaken his extraordinary abilities by using the divine blood, he only intended to be a hidden trump card. In case something happened one day, perhaps his extraordinary power could play a role, but he had no intention of actually developing into any combat profession.
But gaining experience points from other players is a different story...
Maybe I really have a chance.
Thinking of this, Bright, who was originally prepared to run away, felt a surge of excitement. He looked towards the center of the city and silently prayed, "Dog Egg, you'd better pull it together..."
---------------------------------------------
"I wasn't lying to you, was I?"
Dog Egg, with his arm around Eliza, asked with a smile as they danced.
Eliza's face flushed red as she gritted her teeth and glared fiercely at the other person.
The excruciating itching in her body had completely disappeared. She had also carefully glanced at the skin under her gloves, and it had returned to its fair and tender state. The other party hadn't lied; that bottle... was indeed the antidote!
However, this didn't stop her from glaring at the other party fiercely. "You say you'll give me the antidote, so what's the meaning of mixing it with that stuff?" She didn't believe that the antidote could be related to that kind of thing.
This guy looks like a harmless little puppy, but he's actually a repressed pervert. Men... there really aren't many who are serious!
"What do you mean by looking at me like that?" Gou Dan was speechless. He had at least saved her, hadn't he? Otherwise, this woman might have ended up like those people he saw outside the city, turned into fertilizer.
"Why do you have the antidote?"
"That's not your concern," Gou Dan said in a low voice. "As my savior, shouldn't your first reaction be to thank me? Why are you questioning me?"
"How do you want me to thank you?"
Dog Egg was about to bid two thousand gold nars, but then he thought, "Wait a minute, she's the wife of a city lord, wouldn't two thousand be too little?"
But what if you call out to someone too many times and they don't recognize you?
I need to go back and discuss with that body collector brother to see how much is appropriate.
Thinking of this, Gou Dan leaned closer to the other person's earlobe and whispered, "I'll come to your place tomorrow. We can discuss the details of the payment in your room."
Eliza blushed even more. Her earlobe was her most sensitive spot, and the other person seemed to know how to tease her. The distance between them was just right, and the breath they exhaled was very light, making her ear tips itch and her whole body feel numb.
Shall we discuss this in detail in the room?
What do you want me to do?
The thought of what she had just drunk immediately conjured up even more unbearable images in her mind!
However, he dared not refuse. The other party had the antidote, though he didn't know how they obtained it. All the infected people in the city lord's mansion desperately needed it, and he also needed to find out from the other party where this curse came from and who was trying to assassinate the city lord.
And...deep down, she didn't seem to really want to refuse...
"I have something to attend to, so I'll have to leave you now, beautiful lady." Gou Dan glanced at the dancing crowd. Looking at the time, the first song was about to end. She had sneaked into noble banquets more than once before. At these kinds of balls, the lights would be turned back on after each song so that everyone could choose their dance partners again.
I need to take this opportunity to leave this place to avoid attracting too much attention. The dwarf I just openly defeated seems to be someone with a complicated background. I need to find the Minister of the Interior, Allen, while everyone outside is paying attention to me, and unlock the second mission.
I spent an extraordinary item to buy the quest clue, so I can't waste it easily!
--------------------------------------
"Where did Lord Lady go?"
Allen arrived at the front hall and saw that several important figures from Holy Stone City had arrived, including the presiding judge who rarely attended banquets. However, the prosecutor who had recently been aggressive towards the nobles of Holy Stone City was nowhere to be seen.
"Oh, a servant just reported that his troublemaking nephew started another duel at the ball, this time to invite Lady Eliza, the city lord's wife," Knight Commander Orland Eisen replied with a chuckle.
"Is it that guy again?" Allen sighed helplessly. That guy was notorious for causing trouble at banquets, and he didn't expect him to cause trouble at his granddaughter's coming-of-age ceremony. He really couldn't agree with the Claire family's upbringing.
"I wonder whose child has gotten into trouble again?"
"Hahaha, this isn't just anyone's experience!" Orland laughed heartily. "That kid seems to have bitten off more than he can chew. I heard he got a severe beating. If it weren't for Knight Elsie intervening, that arrogant brat might already be dead!"
He laughed heartily and without any attempt to hide it, seemingly unafraid of offending the prosecutor. Even if the prosecutor were here, he had no intention of giving him face. After all, when his nephew was almost crippled by that kid, he laughed just as unrestrainedly.
"Oh?" Allen was somewhat surprised. Did Holy Stone City have a younger generation that could defeat that madman?
You should know that this guy from the Claire family is considered one of the most outstanding among the younger generation. He is not even twenty years old yet, and he is already a level nine knight and a level nine fighter. He is only one step away from advancing to both levels. In the big city of Mirandil, there are not many younger generation members who can afford to offend him. Is there such a talent in Holy Stone City?
Could it be a descendant of a foreign nobleman invited this time?
If that's the case, the letter probably won't get sent out. Lady is a stingy and protective person. If the junior he invited hit his nephew, he might target him even more. Given his intelligence, it would be difficult for him to get those outsiders to send the letter out.
Just then, a brown-haired boy swaggered into the front hall and shouted at their group, "Who is the Minister of the Interior?"
Everyone: "?"
