Chapter 37 Passionate Money Division
"Everyone, come in and take a look!"
Millie said excitedly after cleaning up the goblin cubs.
Hearing the noise, everyone went inside to take a look.
There were many copper coins scattered on the ground, along with a few silver coins.
"Wow, there are at least several hundred copper coins here!"
As Dak walked in, bending down, he grabbed a handful of copper coins and said...
"You two stay here and count the money. Miss Agraria and I will continue searching; perhaps there's other treasure in this lair!"
After saying that, Krankie pulled Sovia deeper into the cave.
They claimed they were looking for treasure, but in reality, only Yue Feng actually put in the effort.
Whenever the two of them found a cavity in the rock strata, they would hurriedly ask the earth elemental to go in and take a look.
"This earth element is amazing. When we get back to Wild Ear Town, I'll definitely spend money to teach Millie how to use it."
Krankie seemed to have long forgotten that ordinary earth elements could not execute such abstract commands.
Under normal circumstances.
Even if they were simply ordered to allow the elemental spirits to leave their bodies, they simply couldn't do it.
Not to mention more complex commands like drilling into rock formations to search for treasures.
The two men and one soldier searched the cave carefully.
No additional gains were found.
So the group carried the several kilograms of coins and set off on their return journey.
On the way to Moxiang Village, everyone weighed this small fortune in their hands.
Moxiang Village.
A suffocating atmosphere descended, and cries of agony echoed throughout the village.
Many women watched helplessly as their husbands left, only to be carried back as mutilated corpses.
Some haven't even found their children.
Five people died, three were seriously injured, and five were slightly injured.
Some of the villagers who were seriously injured may not even make it through the night.
............
The next day.
The sun slowly rises, and the morning breeze disperses the thin mist.
Early in the morning, Clancy, the captain of the Lark Squad, paid a visit to the village chief of Moxiang Village.
I successfully obtained the official stamp confirming the completion of the commissioned work.
The entrance to Moxiang Village.
Sovia and Millie were busy loading the confiscated rusty weapons onto the oxcart.
The oxcart was borrowed from Sovia's father, Aaron.
They were on their way to turn in a quest in Wild Ear Town, and would pass through Oak Leaf Village along the way.
Taking advantage of his chest injury, Dak simply stayed on the cart and refused to move, openly slacking off and shirking his duties.
Yue Feng, meanwhile, was practicing his martial arts on the side, completely ignoring them.
After a while, Cranch and Aaron came out of the village.
When they set off, very few villagers came to see them off.
Yue Feng glanced back and saw that most of the people there had brought their families.
"Farewell, adventurers!"
At the village entrance, the child's small figure slowly disappeared from sight.
"How about we take stock of what we've gained?"
Dak quickly sat up and said excitedly.
Millie raised her little fist and gently punched Dark's head, teasingly asking, "Your chest doesn't hurt anymore?"
"One, two, three..."
Dak rubbed his head and started counting the coins without a second thought.
"If I counted correctly, there were a total of 654 copper coins and 3 silver coins."
"Including the Adventurers' Guild's commission reward, there are... 37 silver coins and 54 copper coins!"
"Oh my god, I finally have enough money to buy a new set of leather armor!"
Captain Cranch immediately sided with Millie and retorted:
"Can't you be a little more sensible? You won't approve the leather armor, but you'd better give me money to learn new martial arts techniques!"
His gaze swept over the earth elemental that was following the oxcart, rushing back and forth.
He continued to berate her: "Look at those earth elementals, they're working harder than you! How do you even sleep at night?!"
......
Huangsui Town.
As the setting sun gradually sank in the west, its afterglow remained exceptionally dazzling.
Including the journey through Oak Leaf Village, the group had been traveling for a whole day.
The journey was bumpy.
Just when Sovia felt like her butt was about to fall apart, she finally saw the outline of a town in the distance.
After entering the town, the group split into two.
The Lark Squad, along with Sovia and the Earth Elemental, headed straight for the Adventurers' Guild to submit their request.
Aaron, meanwhile, drove the oxcart alone to the market to inquire about the market price of wheat.
He was unsure of himself.
The rat infestation in Oak Leaf Village is severe, and there is a significant shortage of seeds needed for next season's planting.
Adventurers' Guild.
As Yue Feng gazed at the old, honey-yellow glazed bricks before him, his thoughts drifted back to the night he first set foot here a few months ago.
He even sacrificed one of his eyes to save Sovia.
Thinking of this, he raised his hand and rubbed his current emerald prosthetic eye.
"I wonder how much these two gems could sell for?"
The four of them, along with a local, walked straight into the guild and lined up to submit their quest requests.
While waiting in line.
Sovia and Millie agreed to go to the bathhouse together after receiving their payment.
Krankie and Darke planned to treat themselves to a big meal.
Yue Feng plans to go to the blacksmith shop to forge two weapons that are uniquely his own.
Everyone has a place to go.
"A commission scroll, a hunting certificate, and a guild badge."
It appeared; it was that blonde girl with the terrible attitude from before.
"Hello, I am Kranky, the captain of the Porcelain-level adventurer team. I'm here to collect my commission."
As he spoke, Krankie submitted the Skylark Squad badge, the commission scroll, and the certificate from the village chief of Moxiang Village in turn.
The receptionist, who had been indifferent just moments before, suddenly softened her attitude and gave a professional, fake smile:
"Here, it shows your commission is complete, and the commission certificate is also valid. Please accept your payment."
"Clatter~"
A heavy bag of coins landed on the counter with a 'thud'.
Krankie didn't open the bag to count the money, and continued:
"We encountered quite a few goblins skilled in martial arts in Moxiang Village. The Adventurers' Guild must take this matter seriously."
Yue Feng noticed that the receptionist's eyelids twitched slightly.
"Okay, we will report it truthfully."
The blond receptionist maintained a polite, fake smile and gave a perfunctory reply.
His attitude seemed polite enough, but it was obvious he didn't take those words to heart.
In her eyes, the words of the adventurers at the bottom were worthless and could be ignored.
"Ahem, Captain who's prone to fainting from sparrows, is there anything else you need to handle?"
The blond receptionist asked somewhat impatiently.
"That's all. Remember to report this to the upper echelons of the Adventurers' Guild."
After finishing speaking, Krankie led the group out of the guild hall.
The blond receptionist nodded without saying a word, but cursed inwardly.
A bunch of low-level bastards, trying to climb up to the guild's higher-ups?
I'll tell my colleagues about it as a joke after get off work.
Outside the Adventurers' Guild gates.
A group of people squatted on the steps, excitedly dividing the money.
"Miss Agraria contributed the most to this operation, so you will receive thirteen silver coins."
Krankie took ten silver coins from his purse and handed them to Sovia, continuing:
"The remaining three of us will each receive eight silver coins. The remaining copper coins, along with the money from selling miscellaneous items, will all be put into the team for daily expenses."
The four nodded vigorously, unanimously agreeing to this distribution.
"Then disband!"
"Miss Agraria, the Lark Squad awaits your joining us!"
