Genshin Impact [Outsider]
Chapter 2: Commission, Demonstration of Ability
Su Li walked to the door of the store and coughed twice, "Um..."
The shop owner saw Su Li's appearance and smiled kindly, "You are dressed like this, are you from another place?"
"Ah, yes... I've heard that Xingji is a pretty good place, so I planned to come here and take a look." Su Li responded awkwardly. It's better not to talk about time travel casually.
"Hahaha, I told you that you look unfamiliar, but there's actually nothing to see here, except sand and sea." The shop owner took out two steamed buns from the steamer. "But people here can live a stable life. Come and try my cooking. Consider it my treat."
Su Li swallowed his saliva. He really couldn't refuse these two delicious steamed buns. "Thank you." As soon as Su Li took the steamed bun, he took a big bite. The stuffing inside flowed into his mouth. "Well, there's still stuffing!"
For Su Li, this was such a delicacy! These two were not enough to eat, and they were all swallowed up in a few bites.
"Slow down, slow down. We like to put some meat stuffing or something in the steamed buns we make. That way they taste better!" The shop owner smiled happily when he saw that Su Li loved his steamed buns so much.
After eating the steamed buns, Su Li felt alive again, but if she wanted to fully recover her strength, she still needed to eat a real meal. "Well, may I ask, is there any place here where I can make money? To be honest, I didn't prepare well this time and didn't bring enough money, so I have to find a way to make some money."
The shop owner thought for a moment and said, "Now that you ask, there really is one. Although Xingji is a small place, there must be an Adventurer's Association." The shop owner pointed to the north and said, "The Adventurer's Association branch of our village is not far ahead. It has a sect and is easy to recognize."
Su Li then breathed a sigh of relief, "Thank you, boss. I'll go ask first." After waving goodbye to the shop owner, Su Li was still quite grateful in his heart. After all, the two had never met before, but the other party treated him so warmly and was even willing to give him food for free.
After this, Su Li also had some good feelings for the people here, and he couldn't wait to get to know this place. However, the most urgent thing was money. Su Li had to find a way to solve the needs of life and gain a foothold here, otherwise no matter how big his words were, they would be empty talk. After all, how could people who couldn't even afford to eat protect the world?
Soon, Su Li saw the Adventurer's Association that the shop owner mentioned. He walked in quickly and went straight to the counter. "Hello." Su Li politely greeted the drowsy front desk lady at the counter.
"Ah, hello!" The receptionist suddenly woke up, straightened her posture, and asked with a smile: "Is there anything I can help you with?"
Su Li thought for a few seconds. After all, he had just arrived here and there were indeed a lot of questions to ask. However, he couldn't ask all of them, otherwise he would definitely be considered as someone who came to find trouble on purpose.
"I want to make some money. Do you have any jobs here?" Since I'm here, I must find a way to make money first before considering other things.
"Um... Are you talking about Mora? Of course we have jobs here." The receptionist glanced at Su Li, "But judging from your attire, you are definitely not a local. We also have some commissions that you can take on. The pay is relatively higher than the work, and it is more suitable for adventurers."
Su Li thought, "So the money people in this world use is called Mora. I have jobs and commissions, so it's better to ask them all."
"Can I ask what kind of work and commissions are available here?"
"Of course, wait a moment." The lady at the front desk turned around, took a commission and a notebook, and placed them on the counter. "There are jobs, some help with housework, some do farm work, some cook, and some find lost items." She opened the notebook and placed it in front of Su Li, "You can take a look."
Su Li flipped through two or three pages. Most of them were new jobs that had been opened in the past two days. Normally, they required working half a day or a whole day, and the salary ranged from three thousand to five thousand Mora.
"Because we are short of adventurers here, we usually give Mora a lot of commissions." The lady at the front desk opened the commission form, "You can take a look at this."
Su Li took the order and read it carefully.
Commission 1: Hunt five sand pigs. Reward: 30,000 Mora.
Commission 2: Catch ten dangerous sandfish in the near sea. Reward: 100,000 Mora.
Commission 3: Search for victims of the Falling Sand Mine. Reward: 300,000 Mora.
Commission 4: Assist the guards in patrolling the surrounding area. Reward: 100,000 Mora. (If a battle occurs, the reward will be increased.)
Su Li decided to take the commission, after all, the offer was too much. "Can I take this commission?" Su Li asked.
"Of course you can, but commissioned missions are generally dangerous. If you encounter a danger that you cannot resist, please give up the commission and put your own safety first." The lady at the front desk handed the commission form to Su Li and reminded her.
"Okay, I understand. Thank you." Su Li took the commission and walked out of the Adventurer's Association. "As long as you finish these, you will have money!"
Su Li suddenly thought that she didn't have a weapon yet. If she encountered any danger, it would be difficult to deal with it. It seemed that she had to find a way to get a handy weapon.
"The Star Festival is tonight, let's prepare something."
"Yeah, Master Myuu will be showing up tonight! We can't dress so shabbily."
"Remember to bring some aged wine. Lord Miao loves to drink. Let's prepare some more."
……
Su Li was walking on the road, and most of the passers-by were discussing the Star Festival. It seemed that the Star Festival was a special festival in this country. Su Li also wanted to go and take a look, and by the way, see what kind of person Lord Miao was mentioned by people.
Su Li looked at the sun in the sky. It was still a long time before dark. It should be enough time for Su Li to complete the first commission before dark. But first, Su Li had to know where the sand pig was.
Su Li left the village and walked along the road. Since the name contained the word "sand", it was likely that they would be encountered in the wild. Su Li decided to try her luck and see if she could find a sand pig.
To Su Li's surprise, as he walked along the road, he saw a statue standing in the middle of the road. The statue was very beautifully carved, and it was a girl holding a star. Su Li looked at it carefully, "I always feel like I've seen it somewhere..."
Su Li stretched out her hand curiously and touched the statue. Suddenly, she felt dizzy and a consciousness seemed to be transmitted into her mind.
"What was that feeling just now?" Su Li looked at his palm in confusion, and touched the statue again, but there was no reaction this time.
Su Li closed his eyes, and a strange energy suddenly appeared in his mind. Su Li thought for a moment, "The Devil God said before that I have the power of the abyss, so how should I use this power..."
Su Li looked at her right hand, and suddenly a sword flashed in her mind. The sword emitted a faint blue light, and the entire sword body seemed to be formed by this blue energy, which could only be seen faintly.
Su Li raised his right hand, imagining the sword, and the moment he swung his arm horizontally, a sword shadow slashed out. "!" Su Li was surprised to find that this energy could actually be converted into a weapon. He tried it a few more times and became more certain of his idea.
"Is this my ability? Besides the sword, what else can I do..." Su Li thought for a moment, raised his hand and made a bowstring motion. Su Li took a deep breath, pulled the bowstring in his mind to the full, aimed at a tree, and the moment he let go, an arrow shot out and pierced through the tree directly.
"Fuck! Is it so perverted?" Su Li didn't expect that he could really do it. It seems that his ability is really extraordinary. As long as he can think of it, then it should not be a problem to turn it into anything.
Su Li felt relieved this time. With this ability, he didn't need to worry about not having weapons. He nodded with satisfaction and continued to walk along the road to the periphery. Su Li also tried to display the sword shadow many times on the road. He found that the length of his sword shadow could also be different. The longest one could even be comparable to the Miao Dao, and the shortest one could almost be called a hand knife.
After searching for a long time, Su Li finally found the footprints of the sand pig in the wild. But when he actually saw the sand pig, Su Li knew why the commission wanted five at a time. There were exactly five sand pigs living not far away. It seems that the habit of sand pigs is to move in groups, and under normal circumstances, the number of sand pigs is just about five.
The tusks of a sand boar are indeed incredibly large, but the size of the sand boar is even more terrifying. The weight of a sand boar is estimated to be around three hundred kilograms.
It seems that if you want to hunt them, long-range combat is better than close combat, and you must be accurate to escape unscathed. But for Su Li, these are no problem at all.
Su Li pulled the bowstring, aimed at the sand pigs, and shot an arrow that instantly pierced through two sand pigs that were lined up together. With a miserable howl, the two sand pigs collapsed to the ground and twitched.
The other sand pigs were immediately panicked, but after they discovered Su Li, they did not run away, but ran towards Su Li.
"Even if I look very weak, you shouldn't be blindly confident." Su Li pulled the bowstring again, one arrow, two arrows. The two sand pigs in the front fell to the ground, stirring up a cloud of sand.
The last sand pig became frightened when it saw all its companions fall down, and ran to one side howling.
"When two of your companions fell, you escaped to Yinghai." Su Li pulled the bowstring and shot at the last sand pig. Without a doubt, the sand pig fell to the ground as the arrow pierced its body.
Su Li looked at the harvest with satisfaction, "Well, the first commission was successfully completed!" Now, Su Li already has 30,000 Moras, and Su Li shouted with joy.
But before Su Li could be happy for long, another problem stumped Su Li. These five sand pigs, each weighing more than 300 kilograms, how could Su Li transport them all back to complete the work...
