Chapter 9, Small Tasks

Hua Yingying angrily said: "Be careful, I will accuse you of sexual harassment"

Bai Wen smiled wryly and said, "Miss Hua, I apologize on behalf of my friend. However, please understand that the Yang Group, especially the lawyers of the Yang Group, are the most detested beings by my friend. How about this: I will treat you to lunch at noon as an apology. It is not right to let you suffer such a great injustice without any compensation."

Wu Xin drove people away and felt quite sorry for Bai Wen, so he went online and posted a series of rental messages on the local city website. After that, he entered the game

Wu Xin took Miss Hua on a tour and was quite satisfied with her eloquence and manners. Miss Hua also did not express any aversion towards Wu Xin or the house. Thus, both parties began to negotiate the price. To catch a fish, one must first bait the hook. Wu Xin casually asked, "Where are you currently employed, Miss Hua?" probing into her profession.

Upon seeing the business card, Wu Xin felt the true fire of the three treasures in his dantian begin to burn. Hua Yingying, lawyer at XX Law Firm, specially appointed commercial lawyer for the Yang Group. Wu Xin asked, "Miss Hua is truly capable, to be a specially appointed lawyer for the Yang Group."

Hua Yingying was momentarily taken aback, but with great composure asked, "Could you please repeat that?"

After a move, the octopus became still. Wu Xin seized the rope and, taking advantage of the gap created by the octopus's tentacles being flung aside, finally secured the rope to the broken anchor's chain. Upon checking the time, he desperately swam upwards. It had already been two minutes, which meant he was on the brink of drowning.

Oh! Miss Hua handed her business card to Wu Xin

Mr. Wu is joking," Hua Yingying said, "I have only held my lawyer's license for a little over a year. It was my senior who helped me get a position at the Yang Group to gain some recognition for easier dealings. Mr. Wu, why don't we get to the point? I am very satisfied with the environment here; can we discuss the price?

"Yes, three thousand a month," Wu Xindao said

"Doctor Bai, what does your friend mean?" Hua Yingying called Bai Wen: "Like a mad dog, turning hostile at a moment's notice, speaking in a sharp and caustic manner"

... ...

The captain turned a deaf ear, selectively ignoring these words and tasks or inquiries: "Arrive at the anchorage."

I am perverse, I am happy. Wu Xin pointed to the door: "Go out! Audi!"

Ha, with your figure wrapped up like a zongzi, devoid of any protrusions, if someone harasses you, you should thank your ancestors for their protection

3,000, single room. Shared use of public restroom, utilities and property management fees to be shared. If bringing a man back for fun, prior notification is required, and noise level must not exceed 70 decibels

Hua Yingying was also angry: "You pervert, with the surname Wu!"

Personal experience is a combination of business experience, adventure experience, and combat experience acquired in proportion. Another source is tasks, for example, Wu Xin has taken on a mission to salvage an anchor that has fallen into the sea. Due to the different nature of the task, Wu Xin feels as if he is playing a single-player online game, constantly engaging in missions with a group of NPCs. However, he does not consider that the NPCs might also be dissatisfied. So many NPCs are serving only him, answering his questions, chatting with him, and accompanying him on missions, without gaining any experience themselves, embodying the image of being the player's servants.

"In fact, I do not wish to be so harsh," Wu Xin leaned against the catapult and said, "but there are two types of people in this world that are most detestable. The first type is lawyers, and the second type is the lawyers who work for Yang Yang, whose appearance is so loathsome that it is beyond description. Moreover, who knows if those who approach me have ulterior motives?"

Wu Xin poked the octopus with his right middle finger at www.hetushu.com, causing its head to retract slightly. Not one to back down, Wu Xin stepped forward and forcefully lifted its suckers with both hands. Unexpectedly, this action provoked the creature, and one of its tentacles swept towards Wu Xin. Unfazed, Wu Xin released the rope, positioning his body sideways as the tentacle swept between him and the rope.

"What business card?" Bai Wenda: "Could you please read the contents of the business card?"

However, there are also benefits to mingling with NPCs. For instance, with these relatively low-level NPCs, you need not worry about them deceiving your feelings. You can share your thoughts with them and vent your frustrations.

Wu Xin jumped down while holding a large rock. The sea here is not very deep, only about 30 meters. In this game, there are no issues with water pressure or underwater lighting; as long as you have the ability, you can dive into the Mariana Trench. However, due to the ample light, Wu Xin was horrified to discover a large octopus curled up on the broken anchor. How large is the octopus? It is a very large octopus. Wu Xin is not afraid, but it will be quite challenging to tie the rope to the broken anchor without startling the octopus.

Mr. Bai Wenda: "Miss Hua, although my friend does not possess much of a gentlemanly demeanor, I find it hard to believe that he would speak harshly. Is there some misunderstanding between you?"

The number of people in the novice village has already decreased significantly. The players who typically enter the game first are usually seasoned veterans looking to level up quickly. One night of play is generally enough to leave the novice village. Wu Xin is at level 6, and unlike others, he still lacks any commercial experience. Although he has sold a basket of embroidery needles, it cannot be considered experience since he did not make a profit.

Hmph! Hua Yingying angrily left after grabbing her bag.

Hua Yingying read it aloud once, feeling quite foolish. Being driven out by others, she still thought about how to seek justice, and moreover, she placed her hopes for justice on the friend of that mad dog

It was fine at first, but as soon as I showed him the business card, he turned hostile

With a sense of danger but no real threat, the captain's strong arms pulled Wu Xin up from the water. Wu Xin deeply felt that in this day and age, NPCs are more reliable than players. Having completed the task, Wu Xin proudly leveled up to level 9, gaining enough experience from this task to rise more than two levels. However, what surprised Wu Xin was the significant increase in adventure experience. Wu Xin finally understood that to interpret it literally, combat experience means fighting, merchant experience means doing business, and adventure experience means taking risks, which necessitates engaging in actions that involve a certain degree of life-threatening danger. For instance, poking a giant octopus with a middle finger or going to fish for a humpback whale; only those with a certain reckless spirit can accomplish such feats.

Of course, the latter may lead to some misunderstandings.

According to the task, Wu Xin needs to dive down and tie the rope to the broken anchor, at which point the task will be considered complete. This task is not classified as a high-level task, but it has the benefit of allowing the acquisition of the skill: diving. Wu Xin has a diving level of 1, enabling him to hold his breath underwater for one minute. According to the NPC, this diving task is most suitable for athletes specializing in acrobatics, as they can hold their breath underwater for up to five minutes. Adding the skill's one minute, that totals six minutes. Although Wu Xin can swim, his ability to hold his breath underwater is not very developed, barely reaching around forty seconds. Therefore, his safe time is one minute and forty seconds. If he exceeds this time, the system will determine that the time has surpassed Wu Xin's capacity, leading to a loss of health, followed by a judgment of drowning, ultimately resulting in death.

With one minute remaining, Wu Xin quietly approached the octopus. Right beneath the octopus's eyes was the broken anchor. As for the rope tied to it, whether the ship could pull the broken anchor away was not something Wu Xin would consider. As long as the mission was accomplished, if the ship capsized, everyone would feed the octopus together, which was also an acceptable outcome.
