I Maximize My Item-dropping Rate

42 Chance Encounter

Just like that, three days passed.

Xiao Shi ignored the bounty hunter. He let him hang around his bait and did not fish him.

Xiao Shi was not in a hurry, but the bounty hunter was a little anxious. He originally thought that after he came to Golden Cloud City, this anonymous night patroller would definitely attack him like he had killed the two bounty hunters.

In the end, after coming for so long, it was calm and he did not even see a trace of him.

“Did he see through our plan?” Luo Fangyi frowned.

However, he felt that it was impossible. Apart from the bounty hunters in the organization, no one else knew about their plan. It was impossible for the other party to know. But it was strange that he did not take action.

After thinking about it, Luo Fangyi still could not figure out the reason. Last night, in order to lure out this mysterious night patroller, he even pretended that he was going to attack Cen Qingci.

But even so, the other party still did not appear.

This gave Luo Fangyi a headache. It was not that he had never thought of killing Cen Qingci directly to force him to appear. But if he did that, then he could not continue to stay in Golden Cloud City.

Although there was once a situation where a bounty hunter successfully assassinated someone in Golden Cloud City and escaped unscathed, he immediately retreated from Golden Cloud City. It was impossible for him to continue staying in the city after killing someone here.

Therefore, killing Cen Qingci to force the other party to appear was not feasible.

At most, he could only pretend to be about to attack. If this mysterious night patroller attacked the bounty hunters because he was worried about Cen Qingci’s safety, he would definitely appear at this moment.

However, reality proved it that the other party did not care about Cen Qingci’s life at all.

This left Luo Fangyi helpless. He could only stay in Golden Cloud City and wait for the other party to attack.

...

Xiao Shi took out his identity token. He checked his current contribution points. There were a total of 1,460 contribution points. After ten days of patrolling, he obtained five hundred and sixty contribution points.

This number of contribution points was not much.

This also made Xiao Shi unwilling to exchange it for Night Frost Dew. After all, a bottle of Night Frost Dew cost 300 contribution points. With the contribution points he had at the moment, he could not withstand such a huge consumption.

He still had to accumulate 20,000 contribution points to become an inner sect disciple.

Although there was no Night Frost Dew to assist in cultivation, Xiao Shi still used ten days to successfully cultivate Night Tiger to the fourth level.

This was because sometimes, he had to patrol at night and could not cultivate all night. Otherwise, with his talent, he had a chance of breaking through to the fifth level of Night Tiger.

Now that the ten-day mission period was over, the next round of missions began.

Xiao Shi and the other night patrollers of Team D gathered together and waited for Team D’s captain to come and issue the mission.

Soon, after all the night patrollers of Team D arrived, the squinty-eyed man appeared. As usual, he distributed the mission to everyone through the token. Then, he let go of the matter and allowed these night patrollers to freely exchange missions.

Xiao Shi looked at the mission in the token in his hand.

Mission: Kill the wanted criminal, Wei Zhen.

Mission Difficulty: Level

Mission Information: The wanted criminal, Wei Zhen, killed a night patroller at the fourth level of the Martial Entry-Level half a month ago. He is hereby wanted. Wei Zhen, male, 40-50 years old, fifth level of the Martial Entry-Level. He is currently in White Eyes Town. Please go and kill him as soon as possible.

Mission time limit: 10 days.

...

This mission was a little too simple for Xiao Shi. However, he did not mind. He had no intention of exchanging with anyone else.

After all, with his cultivation at the fifth level of the Martial Entry-Level on the surface, if he exchanged for more difficult missions with the other night patrollers, it would inevitably attract unnecessary attention.

“Although the mission is a little simple, there are also advantages to being simple. I don’t have to spend too much time and don’t have to worry about any danger. If I complete it as soon as possible, I will have a lot of time to cultivate.”

After accepting the mission that day, Xiao Shi quickly set off from Golden Cloud City. He planned to use a day to complete the mission. This way, the remaining nine days could all be used to cultivate.

The previous mission to patrol Golden Cloud City was also very easy. However, he did not have much time to cultivate. Most of the time, he patrolled the city. As a result, his cultivation progress was a little slow. This mission could make up for this.

After leaving Golden Cloud City, Xiao Shi rushed all the way to White Eyes Town.

White Eyes Town was not too far from Golden Cloud City. This small town was controlled by the Silver Kirin Gang. Usually, most of the people who went to White Eyes Town were itinerant cultivators from the nearby areas, as well as some people from other gangs, bandits, and strongholds.

They basically treated this town as a small market. They often made purchases here. There would also be people hiring people to carry out missions here. Compared to Golden Cloud City, apart from not having to pay residency fees, there were no rules that prevented killing in town. Therefore, killing and plundering often happened in White Eyes Town.

The law of the jungle here was even more naked, showing the blood and cruelty of the chaotic world.

When Xiao Shi arrived at White Eyes Town, it was already evening. Under the dusk, the town exuded an aura that was completely different from Golden Cloud City.

Chaos, filth, blood, and brutality!

There were many corpses piled up outside the town. Most of them were rotten and smelly. Some wild dogs could be seen lying on the corpses and eating. The people who entered and left the town were all cold and cruel. Their bodies were stained with blood.

As soon as Xiao Shi walked into the town, he witnessed a massacre. Not only was the person killed pierced through the chest by a black saber, but the person holding the saber also dismembered him with a sinister smile after killing him.

The surrounding people were expressionless when they saw this scene. They seemed to be used to it.

“Is this a chaotic world?”

Xiao Shi endured the discomfort in his heart. He did not stay here for long and walked into the distance. Most of the buildings in the entire town were grayish-black and filled with dilapidation. The ground was filled with all kinds of trash and some broken limbs could be seen from time to time.

Most of the people in the town were very vigilant and strongly rejected each other. Occasionally, he would see some children. There was no innocence in their eyes, only death and coldness.

Xiao Shi suddenly understood why a large number of people still wanted to stay in Golden Cloud City even though they had to pay an expensive living fee every day.

Compared to this place, Golden Cloud City was simply a holy land.

Xiao Shi did not want to stay in such a dirty and bloody place for too long and quickly started searching. The entire town was neither big nor small. It would take some time to find someone here.

After a round of searching, Xiao Shi did not find the target, but he met a familiar person. She was dressed in white and was petite. Her chest had full curves, and her skin was fair and delicate. Her long black hair was twisted into a bun on her head.

It was Cen Qingci!

“Why is she here?!”

Xiao Shi was surprised.

...

At the same time, when he saw Cen Qingci, she also looked at him. “Junior Brother, you’re also here to carry out a mission?”
