Chapter 303 - 58: Nonsensical Harassment
To tell the truth, Lu Hong had never been as tired as he was these past two days. After taking on the tasks in the morning, it took a whole day of sheer exhaustion just to barely complete them.
Although they weren’t particularly difficult tasks, they weren’t easy either, such as finding cats, finding dogs, eliminating wild boar monsters in the east of the city, collecting a basket of magic vines and wild grass in the west, and looking for people, catching johns, catching gamblers, catching drinkers, catching meat eaters, catching... catching...
"I ain’t catching anymore!" Lu Hong slammed down his mallet furiously. After a day of odd jobs, the village in front of him was the last task. As long as he got rid of the field mice, he could finally call it a day. Once he advanced to silver, the reward for the tasks would at least triple, going from a dozen copper coins to a silver coin, and with some luck, he might even come across a big task worth ten silver coins.
Without doing tasks and earning money, he couldn’t leave this plane of existence. Lu Hong picked up his large mallet again, took a deep breath, and walked resolutely towards the village in the twilight.
All of a sudden, two young girls burst out from behind a large tree.
"Hey!" Xiao Hui shouted, "Is it you! Is it you!"
Lu Hong rolled his eyes, "What do you two want?"
"Spit it out! Is it you!" Her companion demanded as well, "Is it you who took all the bronze tasks from the guild?"
Lu Hong relaxed. He thought it was something serious.
"Yeah, so what? Are you from some powerful family? Is it against the law to do tasks properly?" Since it wasn’t someone seeking revenge for a task, Lu Hong naturally had nothing to fear. As long as he could control the situation, it wouldn’t make any big stir.
