Survival in Uncharted: I Can Raise Reward Levels

Chapter 119 Lighting and Taverns

"Not bad, I guess I can get the quest rewards for the caravan guards later."

Zhang Yang was still very happy about harvesting 5000 merit points, and began to look forward to the next wave of rewards.

But the system announcement of completing the caravan escort mission did not come as soon as he expected, and there was no movement at all.

"Maybe the mission is completed only after Mark leads the team back?"

He immediately guessed again.

"It doesn't matter, it's just a matter of waiting a few more days. With the strength of Mark and those twenty knights, as long as luck is not too bad, there is still a good chance of completing the task."

Zhang Yang has relatively high confidence in Mark's protection of the caravan in the territory, because through the recent trips, he found that there are indeed many monsters in the outside world, but the distribution of monsters is uneven, and most of the monsters are not very strong. The average level is a little away from the bronze level. As long as the caravan leader chooses a good route and is a little bit lucky, it will not be a big problem to purchase and return under the escort of Mark and the others.

After arranging the only task at hand, Zhang Yang quickly walked out of Blackstone Castle, intending to take a stroll in his own territory.

He has been here as the lord of the Blackstone Territory for some time, but in fact he is not very familiar with it, and he has never visited it carefully.

After calling Ai Li, Zhang Yang took the little girl to the depths of the territory quickly. The reason why he called Ai Li together was because he felt that the little girl Ai Li was a bit introverted and needed to go out more.

The total area of ​​Zhang Yang's Black Stone Territory is actually not small, but because of the small number of residents, the residential area does not occupy a lot of land.About 300 meters away from Blackstone Castle is the residential area, where there are rows of simple bungalows made of wood and stones. Most people in the territory live in this kind of bungalows.

With dark vision, Zhang Yang could see that most of the bungalows in the residential area were only lit with small kerosene lamps, and the light was very dim.

On the opposite side of the residential area is the main street in the territory. On this street, there are taverns where outsiders can live and eat, a blacksmith shop that makes ironware, and a tailor shop that makes clothes... It is the main consumption place in the territory.

At this time, Zhang Yang took Ellie on the main street and observed the situation on the main street.

The main street is much brighter than the residential area. The double-storey stone houses on both sides basically emit dim kerosene lamps from the windows, and people on the street can see the road clearly without carrying kerosene lamps.

"Lighting is a big problem... How can my territory be so dark..."

Residents on the main street may be quite satisfied with the lighting conditions here, but Zhang Yang, as a person who came from the blue star at night like day, cannot be satisfied with this environment with only dim kerosene lights, although the dark vision bestowed by the Bloody Marquis It allows him to see his surroundings clearly in complete darkness, but the field of vision of dark vision is completely different from that of normal vision. The color of normal vision is richer, and he still prefers places with sufficient light.

[New task added: Solve the lighting problem in the territory.

Task completion reward: 200 merit points. 】

Just when Zhang Yang was thinking this way, the system suddenly sent him a new task.

"Good guy, the system didn't become the son of old Kaili this time, but the reward of 200 merit points is too little!"

Zhang Yang suddenly complained in his heart.

"Is the lighting problem easy to solve?"

At the same time, he despises the system's random setting of reward values.

"Ellie, are you hungry? Would you like something to eat?"

Feeling contemptuous of the system in his heart, Zhang Yang saw that he had reached the door of the tavern at this time, so he asked the very quiet little girl Ellie beside him.

"My lord, Ellie is a little hungry."

After listening to Zhang Yang's question, Ellie raised her little head and said to him.

"Haha, what an honest little girl."

Zhang Yang couldn't help but feel happy when he heard Ellie's words.
"Then let's go to the tavern to see what's delicious."

Then he took Allie and pushed open the door of the tavern.

"welcome!"

As soon as Zhang Yang took Ellie in, a woman dressed as a waiter in a turban greeted Zhang Yang and the two of them in the tavern.

But soon the woman bent down again and bowed.

"Welcome Lord Lord!"

There was a hint of surprise on her face, probably because she didn't expect her lord to come.

"Bring me two of your signature meals."

Seeing this, Zhang Yang didn't say much, and started ordering directly.

"Okay, my lord."

After hearing Zhang Yang's words, the waiter woman wearing a headscarf responded immediately.

At this time, Zhang Yang took Ellie to find a table in the middle, sat down on both sides of the table, and waited for the meal.

At the same time, he also began to observe other guests in the tavern.

Apart from him and Ellie, there are currently three other people in the tavern.

One of them was a young resident in the territory at first glance, and there was a stone-like mark on the linen clothes he was wearing, which was the symbol of the Blackstone territory.

At this time, he was eating a slice of bread and drinking something alone in his seat, with a small expression of enjoyment on his face.

The other two were sitting at the same table in front of them, and they were still on the same side. One was leaning on the other's shoulder. They were both wearing long coats with hoods, and they should be young women.

The woman being leaned on was currently feeding the woman leaning on her shoulders slices of bread.

"These two women are not simple, and their strength exceeds the bronze level... But there is a problem with the body leaning on the shoulder..."

Because Zhang Yang was sitting behind the two women, he couldn't see their faces clearly, but his powerful perception ability detected their reality, and it was obvious that they were all professionals.

"Didn't my territory say that there are basically no professionals coming here? Why did I run into it as soon as I came here this time..."

Zhang Yang suddenly felt a little surprised. He had asked the old housekeeper about the situation of the professionals in the territory before. Old Carey told him that only the guard knights in the territory were junior knights, the captain Mark was an intermediate knight, and foreign professionals None, the shabby Blackstone Territory is not attractive to those professionals who are looking for bounties.

A professional is a name for a person who has taken up an extraordinary profession. In fact, there is a more accurate name for those professionals who travel to and from various territories: mercenaries, that is, people who accept tasks and earn rewards.

Because Zhang Yang's Blackstone Territory is relatively shabby, no high-value missions have been released in the tavern in the Territory, so few mercenaries came to waste time.

"Professionals...mercenaries...these people should be the main people who can freely pass through this monster-infested outside world...I have to use them..."

Zhang Yang thought for a while, then stood up and walked to the counter of the tavern, intending to issue a long-term mission as the lord.

Because this tavern is the only tavern in the Blackstone territory, and it is the place where mercenaries are given missions by convention in this world.

Zhang Yang came to the counter of the tavern, and soon began to write the task he wanted to release.
