15: Change of plan, make money first!Lin Chuan, with curiosity, walked into Soto City.
This was also the first city he arrived in after leaving Nottingham College and it was also the main city. Everything around him was so new and novel.
"Let's find a place to stay first!"
Since we plan to stay in Soto City for a while, we naturally need a place to stay.
After finally finding a cheap hotel, Lin Chuan's face didn't look very good. God knows why a room can be so expensive.
Should we say that the prices in the main city are as high as they are?
"If we continue like this, we'll be starving. We have to find a way to make some money."
When he walked out from upstairs and passed by the reception desk, he saw the previous receptionist busy at the counter. This made Lin Chuan's eyes suddenly light up and he walked forward quickly.
"Hello, I want to get some information."
The male receptionist was a little uninterested at first, but when he saw the five bronze soul coins that Lin Chuan threw on the counter, his eyes sparkled with the light of money, a flattering smile appeared on the corners of his mouth, and his attitude changed 360 degrees in an instant.
"You are so kind, sir. How can I help you?"
"This is my first time in Soto City. I want to ask if there is any job that can make money."
Lin Chuan didn't feel embarrassed and asked directly.
"this..."
Being so honest, it's hard for the male receptionist to make trouble for him.
"Sir, are you a soul master?"
"That's right," Lin Chuan nodded slightly.
The male receptionist showed visibly envy. After all, the identity of a soul master is still very honorable, even if it is the weakest first-ring soul master.
"Sir, you are really young and promising."
"As for making money, there are actually quite a few ways to do it in Soto City."
The male receptionist first patted Lin Chuan subtly, and when he saw that Lin Chuan didn't react much, he continued talking.
"Sir, you can choose to fight in the Soto City Great Fighting Soul Arena. Even if it is the lowest Iron Fighting Soul, you can get a bonus of ten gold soul coins if you win a game. However, the disadvantage is that you are prone to getting hurt, and if you lose, you will get nothing."
"Also, you can go to the Mercenary Tavern. It's almost full of soul masters. From time to time, caravans will go there to issue escort missions. The rewards are quite generous. The disadvantage is that you may run into danger easily. If you are not strong enough, you may even die."
"besides..."
Leaving the copper soul coin behind, Lin Chuan left the hotel directly.
These five bronze soul coins were well spent, as they enabled him to find out a lot of information.
For example, the mercenary tavern is obviously something that has never appeared in the original work, which is very reasonable. After all, Douluo Continent is a real world.
"If possible, I would like to go directly to the Soul Fighting Competition, but I don't even have the money to register. It seems that I can only find a way to get some money first. Ten gold soul coins are really not a small amount."
Lin Chuan curled his lips, feeling helpless.
He truly realized what it meant when a penny can make a hero fall.
No wonder it is so difficult for civilian soul masters to make a name for themselves.
Following the route given by the male receptionist, Lin Chuan successfully found the location of the mercenary tavern. The noise inside was quite noisy and could be heard even if one stood outside the door.
Lin Chuan did not hesitate and pushed open the wooden door and entered.
A strong smell of sweat hit me in the face.
Lin Chuan frowned slightly, but still suppressed his discomfort, walked around the crowd and sat down in front of the counter. He looked over while wiping the cup and stopped what he was doing.
"What do you want?"
"I'm here to make money. I heard I can get commissions here?"
The bartender paused, looked at Lin Chuan with a scrutinizing gaze, and then nodded slightly, "Yes, many people will come here to commission."
"This is my first time here, can you give me a brief introduction?"
"The notice board is over there. What you want is on it."
The tone was not polite, but it was not annoying either.
It would be better to say that this is how strangers should get along with each other. After all, others are not your father and have no obligation to provide help for free.
"Thanks."
Lin Chuan nodded, stood up and walked to the wall beside him.
Many people gathered here, some were thinking alone, some were chatting in groups of three or four. Some were strong, some were weak, but they all had an obvious sense of bloodiness.
It is obvious that they are all soul masters who live on the edge of a knife.
Lin Chuan's arrival naturally attracted a lot of attention, but he didn't care. His eyes fell on the notice wall, where task assignments were posted.
Escort caravans, assist in soul hunting, search for materials, and deal with rebellious soul beasts...
"It's really comprehensive!"
Lin Chuan raised his eyebrows slightly, with an expression of surprise.
Many commissions do not specify the remuneration, only leaving the client's contact address. The specific details of the commission need to be discussed in detail between the soul master and the client.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
"That is to say, the mercenary tavern is not responsible for communication, nor does it guarantee the safety of both parties. It's quite rudimentary!"
Lin Chuan saw the drawback at a glance.
Without sufficient credibility guarantee, it is difficult to confirm whether there will be any trouble along the way, and even murder and robbery are not impossible.
"Let's find one and try it first!"
Lin Chuan didn't think about it for too long. He chose a commission to escort a caravan, wrote down the contact address, and then turned and left the tavern.
After searching for a long time in Soto City, we finally arrived at our destination successfully.
"Do you want a soul master to escort you?"
"Yes, you are the soul master who came to accept the mission?"
The leader of the caravan looked Lin Chuan up and down. Seeing the latter's extremely young appearance, he showed hesitation and couldn't help but wonder in his heart.
Although he is a spirit master... he is a little too young!
"Yes, I saw there is no spirit master level requirement, so I thought I would give it a try."
Lin Chuan nodded.
"This..." The leader of the caravan was a little embarrassed, but he still forced a smile on the surface, "Indeed, there is no level limit, but I would like to ask, how old are you, little brother?"
Lin Chuan did not respond, but instead circulated his soul power and summoned his shortbow martial soul.
At the same time, the hundred-year soul ring also emerged.
"Hundred-year soul ring?!"
The leader of the caravan was immediately horrified.
The first soul ring is a hundred years old, and he is obviously not very old, he is definitely a genius!
Thinking of this, his attitude changed instantly, and he smiled with satisfaction, "I am blind, so I will trouble you for this trip, little brother. As for the reward..."
The caravan territory man pondered for a moment and tried to make an offer.
"How about five Gintama coins?"
"Of course, this is the reward for not encountering any danger. If you encounter some trouble along the way, the reward will be calculated separately on this basis. I wonder if this price is acceptable?"
After a brief thought, Lin Chuan asked, "Where is the destination?"
"Not far away, in the Sword City of the Silves Kingdom!"
Sword City, one of the main cities of the Kingdom of Silves, is also very close to the Star Forest, but not particularly far away.
"Then... it's a pleasure to work with you."
Lin Chuan was quite satisfied with both the remuneration and the commission.
