Chapter 660: Chapter 495: Comes with a Trustworthiness Bonus_1

The territory of the giant dragon included a Mercenary Guild, and it was of a massive scale. The dragons in this world were nothing like the ones Zheng Yichen had imagined in his fantasies; as a smart species, dragons here were ’sociable,’ perhaps due to the abundance of divine species in this world.

There were many humanoid deities, and since humanoid gods were the natural backers of the human race, it resulted in high-born races feeling superior, but not to the extent of completely scorning other races.

Within this massive Mercenary Guild, there were large tables suitable for dragons, as well as smaller tables and chairs for humanoid beings.

The head of the dark red fire dragon here attracted a great deal of attention. Some Dragon Slayers wore expressions of regret, as it was not uncommon for well-chosen tasks to be resolved before others. There was no such thing as first-come, first-served in these hardcore tasks; only the capable could claim them.

The target was a fallen fire dragon, a dragon, not some sheep or rabbit. Were people actually racing to reach it first?

Those capable enough to take down the fallen fire dragon, went; those who weren’t would simply be giving up their lives. Even professional Dragon Slayers had to make extensive preparations and gather powerful colleagues for the hunt when facing a fallen fire dragon that had utilized the Dragon Devour Secret Technique.

Someone more capable had already eliminated their chosen target. To avoid wasting their assembly, the Dragon Slayers decided to pick a new target here.

There were several bounties related to the dragon genus to choose from.

No sense in wasting the gathering.

Denas processed the case of the dragon traitor very efficiently. After Zheng Yichen left the Cardanas Dragon Tribe Territory, he found himself to be quite wealthy in this world, and he could even exchange for a bigger house closer to Dusk Cathedral with Landen.

Assuming someone was selling.

"Is being a mercenary so lucrative??" Zheng Yichen looked at the Tyrant Gold Card in his hand, which featured a fire-breathing fire dragon. This was a Gold Card from the Dragon Tribe, which also operated chambers of commerce in this world. With this card, Zheng Yichen could withdraw large sums of money from the Dragon Tribe Chamber of Commerce in major cities.

Bourg indicated that if Zheng Yichen wanted to directly take more valuable currency, he could, as long as he could haul it away in one go.

Gold was valuable in this world because it could be alloyed into a special magic metal. Although it was not as good as naturally occurring ’Fine Gold,’ it was sufficient for most uses.

Gold was not the top currency in this world; there were more energetic substances that served as high-value money, the equivalent of Spirit Stones in the world of immortals and heroes.

A high-quality piece was worth a lot of gold.

"You earn a lot, but you also spend a lot, and you’re dealing with an evil dragon, after all." Klakauska rolled her eyes. "At least twenty dragons have fallen at the hands of that ferocious dragon. How many mercenaries could accomplish such a task? Even if they did, they couldn’t claim part of that evil dragon’s wealth!"

A part of the bounty Zheng Yichen received was offered collectively by the Dragon Tribe, while the rest came from the possessions of the evil dragon, which the dragon could not take when fleeing and were thus recovered by the Dragon Tribe. Some of these possessions were used as the bounty.

As for why not all of it... Tsk tsk, the fire dragon told Zheng Yichen that there had been cases where people hunted innocent dragons for their wealth. In the end, both the dragon and the person died. Killing a dragon was just like killing a person on Earth. However, dragons listed in bounties did not have this problem.

Actually, Zheng Yichen could have acquired all the wealth, provided he had the capacity to find all the possessions of the evil dragon before the Dragon Tribe reclaimed them. The Dragon Tribe would not object if he could do so, but if not, they would conduct investigations to find the loot.

And then allocate a portion of it for the bounty.

"Most missions are quite mundane, actually. Mercenaries have to consider compensation for casualties, treatment and repairs, and expenses for food, clothing, and travel. If they run into tough opponents, they need to purchase magic potions..."

Zheng Yichen listened in silence. "Stop, it’s just too realistic."

The fire dragon hummed lightly and glanced at Zheng Yichen. "So you, who have stepped directly into the highest tier, shouldn’t think about experiencing the life of an ordinary mercenary. Shall we go to the next place now?"

"Certainly, with so much time, let’s go hunting for three days and three nights!" Zheng Yichen stretched out his right hand and looked at it. There was a bit more flesh on the arm; it seemed hunting was beneficial, albeit slow in recovery, but still better than letting natural healing erode the wound that had reached the core.

Klakauska immediately arranged the next target; one man and one dragon quickly set off. This target was also a Fire type creature, but not a dragon, instead a magical beast without the intelligence of dragons or the power of the dark red fire dragon. It was born tough and had killed many of those who had come to exterminate it.

"According to some reports, this target appears to have received the blessings of a demigod, making it particularly troublesome."

Upon hearing the information from Klakauska, Zheng Yichen couldn’t help but ask, "A demigod’s blessing? That demigod is a target too, right?"

"Uh..." Klakauska was momentarily stunned, sensing that Zheng Yichen’s killing intent seemed a tad too intense?

"You can consider that demigod a target if you wish; after all, that entity is not a beneficent one." As they traveled, the fire dragon continued to explain to Zheng Yichen the reason behind the fire demon beast’s blessing—it was an Evil Blessing.
