Vol 2 Chapter 30: The value of intelligence

At first, the Hunter's Guild in the city was located in the northwest of the Red Giant Wolf District, on a busy street with people coming and going.
It has an independent five-story building, and the lobby area is several times that of Yecao City’s colleagues, but it is not as electronic as it is. There are only twenty machines that can see and receive tasks on their own, and the rest are all through the block. Large screen and one window to complete.
　　 This has resulted in the local hunter guild having a large number of employees, and many people can rely on explaining tasks to those relic hunters who don't know words for a living. The whole hall is crowded and noisy.
　　 After Bai Chen informed a receptionist that he had information to sell to the guild, he soon led him through the hall and boarded the second floor.
During this process, Gnawa received a lot of attention, but compared to other places, the frequency of robots in the city was much higher at first. Many relic hunter teams have such a member, so no one thinks strange.
　　 On the second floor, in room 205.
　　Bai Chen, Long Yuehong, and Gnawa saw an old man with a pretty nose, slightly gray hair and a black robe.
　　 He is probably in his fifties, and his light blue eyes reflect the appearance of the two opposite people:
　　 "What information do you have to sell to the guild?"
　　 Before Bai Chen had time to answer, Gnawa, who barely allowed himself to sit in a chair without a creak, already asked:
　　 "I don't know what to call you?"
　　 The old man laughed:
　　 "I rarely meet such a polite robot."
　　 The priority of most robots is to obey the owner's instructions.
　　Long Yuehong sighed with emotion and secretly said "bad thing", and hurriedly said to Genava:
　　 "Who taught you to ask others' names without considering the context?"
　　Gnawa's eyes flashed with red light:
　　 "Hey, he said to be polite."
　　 As expected... Long Yuehong was not surprised at all.
　　 He asked that just now, in order to guide the half-old man on the opposite side to think in the direction of "this robot was taught by the master", rather than the robot in front of him is probably from the "machine heaven" and belongs to an intelligent person.
　　 "You don't have to listen to him all the time, his mind is different from normal people." Long Yuehong rarely has the opportunity to say bad things about Shang Jian Yao behind his back, and of course he will not let it go.
　　 The old man across the street raised his hand and pressed:
　　 "Politeness is not a bad thing at all.
　　 "My name is Frederick."
　　Bai Chen then nodded gently:
　　 "Mr. Friedrich, we have an information about the giant white wolf in the mountains on the north shore."
　　 "Really?" Friedrich was a little surprised, "You just came back from the mountains on the North Shore?"
"No." Bai Chen took out a neatly folded piece of paper from his pocket, "We have encountered an enemy in a similar situation to that white wolf before, and think there should be some similarities between the two. , You can get some useful information from this and the other."
　　 Friedrich's right index finger tapped the surface of the table, pondering for a few seconds and said:
　　 "In other words, you can't be sure that this information will come in handy?"
　　 "Right." Bai Chen did not deny it, "but again, you can't be sure that it will not come in handy."
　　 This dialogue is like a tongue twister, Xiao Bai's Honghe language is still much better than mine...Long Yuehong muttered silently.
　　 He also dared to call Bai Chen's nickname in his heart.
　　"Dabai" is the same.
　　 There is only "Hey", he will shout a few times from time to time, anyway, he and Shang Jian Yao are used to each other's blackness, the only thing to consider is whether they can withstand the opponent's language counterattack later.
　　 As for "Old Ge", there is no ridicule, he thinks it doesn't matter.
　　 Friedrich retracted his right hand and said with a smile:
　　 "This makes me feel like I am gambling."
　　 "But you are the dealer." Bai Chen responded calmly.
　　 The relic hunter directly sells the information to the guild, it is necessary to consider the consequences.
This is not a one-shot sale. If the guild gets the information and after reading it, it is found that you are suspected of fraud. The lighter will recover your reward, deduct certain credit points, add corresponding records, and the heavyer will add you to the blacklist or even give you a catch. Capture your mission.
　　 Compared with the guild, the individual always looks insignificant. As long as he wants to eat the ruin hunter, few people play tricks in this regard.
　　 Of course, there are also situations where the guild has to be burned. Then you can only consider switching to a "dark hunter", not accepting and handing in quests through the guild, just like the earliest relic hunters.
　　 Friedrich smiled:
　　 "You are calm.
　　 "Go ahead, how much do you want?"
　　 "400 Olei." Bai Chen offered the price.
　　 This is enough for a family of three in the Green Olive District to live for one year. If they are frugal, it can even be used for two years.
　　 But compared with the price of military exoskeleton devices and robotic arms, which are often priced in "ten thousand", it is really a drop in the bucket-these materials are often priceless.
As far as the "old tune group" is concerned, this information is mainly to fill the shy wallet first, after all, they did not give all the information related to Qiao Chu, and they also know the abilities of the Special Commissioner of the Eighth Research Institute. Not so full.
　　 Frederic thought for a while:
　　 "I hope it is worth the price."
　　 He immediately picked up the phone on the desk, dialed a number, and asked the other party to go through the process now and send out 400 Olei.
　　 Waiting for him to hang up, Bai Chen pushed the folded paper over.
　　 Friedrich picked up the reading glasses that were next to him, unfolded the paper in his hand, and read it carefully:
"...We once met a man named Qiao Chu. The reward for his intelligence in the guild is a ton of flour... He can make people like him, obsessed with him, and obey his orders... This is a suspected price, and Non-awakened abilities... His abilities are currently known as "the hobby of forcibly changing goals", "becoming frustrating", and the rest is unknown... If the giant wolves in the mountains on the north shore have not acquired the ability to charm others through distortion, then Need to consider that it has other capabilities..."
　　 Friedrich raised his head and looked at Bai Chen and Long Yuehong:
　　 "Have you met Qiao Chu?
　　 "You can get rid of him and live to the present?"
　　 He was surprised by the latter thing.
　　 Bai Chen pointed to Gnawa next to him, and said without changing his face:
　　 "He is there."
　　 "He?" Frederick asked rhetorically.
　　 In Honghe language, he and she are different words, and you can hear them.
　　Bai Chen casually explained:
　　 "I am a wanderer in the wilderness. My parents died early, and they depended on intelligent robots to take care of them before I lived to adulthood."
　　 "That's it..." Friedrich expressed understanding.
　　Long Yuehong listened to her secretly, but she didn't expect Xiao Bai to be as deceiving as the group leader.
　　 There were no robots at the time!
　　 And, it wasn’t Gnawa who took care of her to grow up!
　　 I don't know if Xiao Bai was originally like this, or he was nurtured by the team leader... Long Yuehong was lost in thought.
　　 At this time, Frederick sighed:
　　 "It seems that the charm is not effective for the robot. This is also a very important piece of information.
　　 "Okay, your information does have a price of 400 ore."
　　 Jiang Baimianding 400 ore is mainly based on the previous reward: the price of a kilogram of ordinary grade flour in the initial city is about 4 to 6 drass, which is approximately equal to 0.5 ore.
　　Of course, that is, in a disaster-free year, this is the case in places such as the original city and the wild grass city. In many settlements of dust and soil, one kilogram of flour can be worth a life in some cases.
　　 In general, 400 ore is approximately equal to 800 kilograms of ordinary grade flour, which is similar to the previous reward price.
　　 Soon, Bai Chen got a full 400 Olei banknotes.
　　She counted out 50 Ore, and pushed it to Frederick, and said:
　　 "I want to entrust a task."
　　 Friedrich pointed to the floor:
　　 "The delegated task is below."
　　 Bai Chen did not stop, and continued:
"The content is to help us find a friend. He is very sensitive and is also a relic hunter. When someone publishes a task to find him, he will definitely hide. We can only ask the guild for help and privately entrust it to some relic hunters who have enough local contacts. .
　　 "You don't need to get detailed information, just tell us where he lives or which area he frequents more often."
　　—The Hunter's Guild always has a vice-chairman who directly manages this kind of non-public release of tasks that require confidentiality.
　　Friedrich took the stack of banknotes, and turned upside down:
　　 "With only this remuneration, the time is hard to say, no one will mobilize all the people they know to help find it for 50 Ore."
　　 "No problem." Bai Chen took out another piece of paper.
　　 Above is the look of Han Wanghuo painted by Jiang Baimian, which is very lifelike.
　　 At the same time, she also marked the eye color, the name of the character and so on. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com
　　 Entrusted this matter, Bai Chen led Long Yuehong and Genawa back to the lobby on the first floor.
　　 They randomly browsed the recent tasks, but did not consider picking them up, mainly to understand the current situation of the original city.
　　 went out of the lobby and returned to the street. They were about to turn to another place when they suddenly saw a convoy passing by on the road ahead.
　　 These are all cars, with a deep black color, and the glass seems to have been treated, so the inside cannot be seen from the outside.
　　 Such a large team gave Long Yuehong a feeling of agitation, and she subconsciously held her breath.
　　 He turned his head and glanced at Bai Chen and found that she was staring forward.
　　 "What's wrong?" Long Yuehong asked when the convoy disappeared at the end of the road.
　　 "Nothing." Bai Chen shook his head.

　　 Harvest bathroom, in one room.
"Do you think this has something to do with'anti-intellectualism'?" After listening to Shang Jianyao's description, Jiang Baimian asked, "Is the Zhao family responsible for the assassination of Xu Liyan? No, Zhao Zhengqi and Zhao Yide were also there. The Chamber of the Nobles will be killed together! There are also conflicts within the Zhao family?"
　　 Shang Jianyao did not respond to Jiang Baimian’s question, and said to himself:
　　 "There are still a few people who exist in Zhao Shouren's memory. The manor was born and grown up, but at first glance they were taken from another family. Many details are not correct. They often go in and out."
