Goblin Dependency-Chapter 181 - 111 Hunting Day_2

The adventurer who had been in River Valley Town for many years, and had just explained a lot to his companion, sighed first, then suddenly leaned in and wrapped an arm around his companion’s shoulder.

"Raising the price a bit is no big deal; others need to eat too."

"The key point is, at that time, the bounty for a single goblin is a full five silver coins."

"One goblin, five silver coins, got it?"

"A goblin the size of a wild dog, two of them, can be exchanged for a fragrant, steaming hot gold coin, enough for you to have a night of revelry at the ’White Sparrow’, drinking to your heart’s content!"

"Just a matter of a few dozen days, grit your teeth and push yourself. If you’re lucky, you’ll have enough money for a house in Neum."

"Got it!?"

Having laid it out so clearly, even a fool could understand the meaning behind it.

Especially with the pleasant future he pointed out with his words.

This made the adventurer, who had been complaining with a gloomy face just moments before, suddenly change his expression, with a hint of anticipation, lowering his voice to say:

"You mean..."

"You should stop picking up random tasks in the next two days, they’re not worth it." He patted his companion’s shoulder and took a swig of ale, showing a hint of pride.

"Get your money-making gear ready, I’ve already arranged with Jamie and Rivers, once ’Hunting Day’ arrives, we head into the forest and get started!"

That was all the useful information for now.

Then, the topic at the next table shifted gradually from earning gold coins to discussing whether to buy several slaves with elf blood for enjoyment or to save up for a title and become a landed gentry for a more fulfilling life.

Listening to them getting more and more carried away, even talking about which piece of land to request from the King after expanding their territories.

Xia Nan withdrew his attention too.

Thinking to himself:

"Hunting Day... suits me perfectly."

His short-term plan was to hunt a large number of goblins, improving the skill level of [Teeth Hunting] through battles while ensuring safety.

Aiming to master it at lv5 as soon as possible.

At the same time, save money to upgrade equipment in the future or hire a Battle Skill Master for training.

With Hunting Day approaching, the number of goblins would suddenly soar, and bounties would increase slightly.

It unexpectedly met both of his current needs.

After thinking for a moment, he made up his mind.

...

[Task Number]: 1121D

[Type]: Special-C

[Reward]: 15 gold

[Task Briefing]:

A small goblin nest on the edge of the Mist Forest needs to be cleared by adventurers.

(For specific location information, please contact the relevant staff at the association after accepting the task)

[Time Limit]: 3 days

...

Xia Nan’s eyes swept quickly over the task board, memorizing a task number located in the corner of the wall.

He squeezed through the crowd, quickening his pace toward the front desk.

By this time, it had been five days since he heard the news about "Hunting Day" in the tavern.

Time was fairly ample, and with a solid financial foundation, he easily prepared those overpriced supplies in advance.

He no longer took on any tasks.

He just stayed in town, practicing [Teeth Hunting] in the air diligently.

It was somewhat productive; his skill level increased by two points over a few days, pushing the upgrade progress past the 90% mark.

But compared to before, the pace was noticeably slower.

After the upgrade, increasing the skill level of [Teeth Hunting] became significantly more difficult.

Without the support of actual combat, progress from practice alone was very slow.

Meanwhile, he constantly kept an eye on the movements of adventurers in town to avoid missing any opportunities.

Just as expected, early this morning, when he came downstairs from his room to the tavern hall to order breakfast.

He suddenly noticed that the adventurers, who usually stayed in the tavern due to the approaching Hunting Day, were strangely absent.

The White Sparrow Tavern, usually bustling with noise and alcohol, was suddenly deserted as if business were sparse and on the verge of closing down.

Looking outside onto the streets, adventurers were fully armed, moving hastily out of town, their faces brimming with excitement and anticipation.

Xia Nan immediately understood.

Hunting Day, is today!

He packed his gear promptly, hurriedly made his way to the adventurer association, squeezed into the crowd, remembered the task number, and amid the noise that seemed to penetrate the roof, queued up at the front desk.

It was still that short-haired girl named "Moli", looking listless.

"1121D."

Wasting no time, Xia Nan promptly reported the task number he wanted to take on.
