Familiar Boss

Chapter 33
As soon as everyone heard Su Ke say that they had picked up the dragon egg at the Bone Rock, several mercenaries followed Su Ke's footsteps and rushed out of the door, heading straight for the Bone Rock in the north.

Because these people know that picking up a dragon egg is worth a lot of money, and the bounty they get is much higher than if they accept the mercenary mission and risk their lives to complete it.

Who wouldn't want to do this kind of thing where you can easily make a fortune, and they can't find a suitable mercenary mission for them now.

When Su Ke left the tavern, he was somewhat worried that the valuable dragon egg in his hand would be snatched away, so he looked left and right all the way back.

He simply wrapped the dragon egg in his own clothes, and it looked like a pregnant woman who was pregnant for more than seven months.

"Master, it seems that no one came out, are you too worried." Xiao Hei stood on top of his head and asked him for information.

"We'd better be careful, after all, this thing is worth 500 gold coins." Su Ke looked sneaky and hurried towards his shack.

After returning to the shack, Su Ke felt relieved, and lay down on the bed to sleep, but he was not sleepy, feeling quite bored, tossing and turning.

"There is no way for us to go on like this. It's too boring. Before I go to the evil forest to steal the goblins' gold coins, I think I need to find a job." Su Ke sat up and said.

He felt that if he didn't work for a day like this, he felt quite decadent and wasted his life.

"How about master, why don't you go back to the mine and continue working as a miner? If you're bored, you can still chat with that old buddy Ang De." Xiao Hei suggested, lying on the side.

Su Ke responded lightly: "Hey, it's impossible to go back to the mine to be a miner. No matter what, I don't want to go back to be a miner in this life."

Xiao Hei saw that although Su Ke's tone was calm, he could hear Su Ke's determination from his words.

"Then master, why don't you become a lumberjack?" Xiao Hei suggested again.

When Su Ke heard the profession of "lumberjack", he immediately shook his head.

"Logging is tiring! A lumberjack is too tired. Under the scorching sun, chopping trees with an ax by hand is more tiring than being a miner." Su Ke was afraid even thinking about it, and said in a low voice.

He clearly knew that in this world, without high-tech tools such as chainsaws, he would not be able to do this kind of work without chopping trees with handmade axes and carrying them.

"Then the master can only be a mercenary like those annoying guys in the tavern." Xiao Hei seemed to be quite unwilling to go to the tavern.

"Mercenary?" Su Ke had indeed not paid attention to the lives of these people, and suddenly became curious.

Xiao Hei replied uninterestedly: "Yes, after becoming a mercenary, you can ask Bruno to pick up jobs in the tavern, and see if he has any good jobs there."

"What kind of work is there?" Su Ke asked curiously.

When Xiao Hei saw that Su Ke seemed to be interested, he became serious, thought about it carefully and said: "There are all kinds of jobs there. If the master just wants to find something to do and doesn't want to get a very high remuneration, you can take it." A very easy job."

Xiao Hei paused for a moment, and continued: "If the master is lucky, he may be able to receive some jobs with high rewards, but not so difficult and not so dangerous."

Hearing this, Su Ke felt that this was okay, as long as he had something to do, because he really couldn't stay in such a shack with nothing.

And he also discovered a treasure land with a lot of gold and silver treasures hidden in the evil forest, so he will not worry about money in the future.

He only needs to pass the time now, and after a while, he can go to the evil forest again to get the money.

Su Ke made a small cage out of wood in the shack, spread some cloth pieces for the bed inside, and carefully put the dragon eggs in it.

"It's just right! From now on, I will carry it on my back like this. I don't need to be so ostentatious. This way I can free up one hand, which is much more convenient." Su Ke happily picked up the wooden cage and tried it out.

He carried the wooden cage behind his back like a schoolbag, and it felt good.

In fact, the shell of the dragon egg is relatively hard, and it is not as easy to break as he imagined. He can smash a person's skull with it, but Su Ke didn't dare to try that.

"Let's go! Go to the tavern!" Su Ke got everything ready, and went to the tavern again, wanting to learn more about the profession of mercenaries.

Xiao Hei was stunned when he heard this, he didn't expect Su Ke to act so vigorously, and immediately acted after speaking.

"Master, you are too anxious." Xiao Hei said while jumping on Su Ke's shoulder.

Su Ke pulled up the curtain at the door of the shack, pushed open the wooden gate, and walked quickly towards the tavern.

As he walked quickly, he explained.

"We went to the tavern just now, and those people in the tavern know us, so they won't mock us anymore; when we change to a group of strangers tomorrow, we will be teased by them again, and I don't want to be teased again."

At this time, Xiao Hei felt that what Su Ke said was quite right, so he said no more and just ran from his shoulders to the top of the wooden cage that Su Ke was carrying.

Now Su Ke is carrying such a wooden cage for holding dragon eggs, which just happens to give Xiao Hei an extra space to move around.

Xiao Hei likes this wooden cage very much. Now he is lying on the top of the wooden cage and feels much more stable than lying on Su Ke's shoulders.

Su Ke swaggered into the tavern, and the mercenaries who were drinking in the tavern saw him and started talking again.

"The kid who picked up the dragon egg is here again."

"Where's his dragon egg?"

"What is he carrying on his back?"

"Maybe it's another treasure! This kid is very lucky!"

These mercenaries in the tavern were all very curious about Su Ke, curious about what strange things he was carrying on his back, and looked at him one after another.

Su Ke didn't care about those people's comments and glances, and walked directly to the bar counter to sit down.

Bruno was a little puzzled when he saw that Su Ke came to the pub again not long after he left.

But he still smiled very hospitablely, glanced at the people around him, moved his eyes to Su Ke's face, and said jokingly: "It seems that you are quite popular with them!"

Su Ke also looked back and found that everyone was indeed peeking at him and discussing something in low voices.

"I don't know why I attract so much attention from them." Su Ke looked a little helpless.

"Maybe they saw the egg in your hand just now, and now they are wondering what kind of rare treasure is contained in the cage on your back." Bruno was also curious, suggesting.

After he finished speaking, his eyes moved to the wooden cage behind Su Ke, which was wrapped in a rough cloth, so it was completely impossible to see what was inside.

"Meow!" Xiao Hei, who was lying on the top of the wooden cage, raised his head towards Bruno and called out, then lowered his head again, and narrowed his eyes.

"The dragon egg contained here is the dragon egg just now. I just made a cage myself to make it easier to carry it." Su Ke's answer was straightforward, without any concealment.
