Chapter 662: Chapter 496 Became Thrifty_1

In the mercenary circles, a new legend emerged: a human-dragon duo swept through all the high-level tasks in just a few days. The tasks from the Mercenary Guild are regional, generally located near the guild for easy access.

Only those high-level commission tasks are available in every Mercenary Guild, not because message delivery isn’t convenient—communication in this world is actually quite efficient. It’s just that time is money. Distributing tasks in this manner makes it easier for the average mercenary to accept and complete them.

It saves those mercenaries the trouble of running around everywhere.

Within a few days, more than twenty high-level tasks were chopped down from the Mercenary Guild’s list, and the pace seemed to be getting even more outrageous... Many mercenaries were merely spectators, as high-level tasks were beyond them. Normally, those tasks could hang around for a few months or even years before someone completed them.

The existence that was madly cutting down high-level and top-level commissions didn’t have anything to do with these average mercenaries. They just watched the spectacle.

"Hello, I’d like to settle a commission," Zheng Yichen said as he placed a Crystal Core on the Mercenary Guild’s counter. The temperature around them dropped suddenly when he took it out. This object was a ’Demon Core’ from inside a magical beast’s body, a type of magic crystal, but not something every magical beast possessed.

Not having one didn’t mean the beast was weak, but having one definitely meant it was stronger. The core wasn’t of much use to Zheng Yichen; he had already collected quite a few. With the help of his fire dragon’s dragonkin friends, within a week’s time, Zheng Yichen had gathered the other attributes for Elements manipulation, filling in what he lacked in fire, ice, light, and dark.

More elusive ones were harder to find; he’d see if he had the chance to get those later. By the way, the light element felt a bit different from the light power Zheng Yichen had in the Three Suns World. When using it, he could clearly feel that in Elements manipulation, the Light type element exerted influence on the outside world’s Elements power.

On the other hand, light energy from the light power, besides being able to draw upon the world’s Light type elements, could also emit light by itself. However, this required the use of one’s own strength and didn’t have as rich a nature as the light power. Any missing properties could be compensated for with magic.

"Okay," replied the receptionist at the Mercenary Guild, while wearing a magic glove, she briefly touched the Demon Core on the counter. With that touch, information appeared on a microchip screen next to her, a process of identification.

The world of magic naturally had its own magical means of identification, no less convenient than technology.

"A Polar Snow Spider King’s Demon Core, no problems. What form of payment would you like...?"

Zheng Yichen took out a gold card from the Dragon Tribe Chamber of Commerce.

Watching Zheng Yichen, the mercenaries twitched at the corners of their eyes, instantly recognizing his status. The person rumored to be cutting down high and top-level tasks used a gold card from the Dragon Tribe Chamber of Commerce.

Moreover, he was an individual with black hair, draped in a fur cloak. Some said the cloak was black, others said it was gray. Now those mercenaries were clear; the cloak was unequivocally gray.

By the way, the vehicle he rode was quite stylish. Some chambers of commerce were already trying to contact this powerhouse who was aggressively taking on high-level tasks to negotiate a style licensing for the transportation method.

With others, those chambers wouldn’t bother with such superfluous dealings, but the individual using this vehicle was a formidable presence. High-level mercenary tasks are one thing, but info from the grapevine also pointed to him being a Dragon Slayer who had just taken down a fallen fire dragon a few days ago.

Upon some investigation, certain chambers found that the style originated with Zheng Yichen. Directly copying it seemed a bit improper. The best course of action was to negotiate, even if it cost money. They weren’t after the core technology, merely the style.

There were plenty of ways to fill in the core, plus with Zheng Yichen’s recent fame—though there had been no prior tales of his deeds—this didn’t affect their plans to ride his wave of popularity. Most importantly, the vehicle’s look in the magic world was genuinely cool!

"It really is him," the mercenaries remarked as they watched Zheng Yichen ride away. But without much contemplation, for when the gap was too wide, extra thoughts failed to arise—like the idea of recruiting him into their team.

Forget it, someone who can complete a series of high-level tasks alone clearly doesn’t need a team, not to mention he had a fire dragon by his side.

"Maybe you’ll be richer than me in a bit," Klakauska joked, waiting outside the town as Zheng Yichen rode out. Zheng Yichen used to conceal his right arm, but now he displayed it openly. Although it looked a bit frail compared to his left arm, it was already muscular by normal standards, which meant Zheng Yichen’s recovery was almost complete, time for some tougher challenges.

Zheng Yichen was somewhat surprised by the dragon’s words. "You’re a lot richer than I imagined."

"Hahaha, after all, I am a dragon, the kind that lives for a very long time. Accumulating a little each year adds up," the fire dragon said with a laugh. "Shall we continue?"

"...let’s head back after we’re done today. It’s about time to become a Demigod," Zheng Yichen said, squeezing his right hand. The injury to his arm had almost fully healed.

Isn’t that a bit hasty? We should have plenty of time," the fire dragon hesitated.
