When the light of the morning light passes through the clouds, it quietly enters the steel tower in the center, reflecting mottled shadows.

No. 73 Nancy Street, townhouse.

As the sun shone into the room, Surman opened his eyes, got up, changed into a brand new linen white shirt and brown vest, put on a long black double-breasted dress, went to the bathroom, washed his teeth with charcoal, and came out with full spirit.

A rich breakfast has been set up on the round table in the second floor lobby—

Oat bread with cream, served with two fried and heated northern sausages, a cup of fresh milk served, this was Surman's breakfast, of course, there was the same breakfast beside him, and Ibis sitting in the seat.

It was the responsibility of being a ‘maid’, she had to get up half an hour earlier than Surman to make these breakfasts.

At this moment, Ebis was yawning. After all, she slept too late, and she was not an extraordinary person like Surman, and her physical attributes were higher than ordinary people.

"It's not a ladylike behavior to be unscrupulous in the morning." Surman sat opposite her, picked up the milk with satisfaction, and enjoyed the joy of eating.

Ibis gave him a fierce look and picked up the bread. After Surman started eating, she was qualified to enjoy the food as a "maid". However, Ibis was indifferent to the rich breakfast, and slowly bit the bread. Her snow-white teeth were chewing with a little reluctance and attachment.

She thought of yesterday's midnight snack. The soft bread soaked in the delicious soup unconsciously made Ebis' taste buds tremble, and the bread with butter in front of her also seemed boring.

Surman looked at her, as if he had seen through his thoughts. The next moment, he coughed gently and said, "The new residence is short of a lot of things. We need to purchase some new furniture and daily necessities. If you have time in the afternoon, you can accompany me to the furniture market."

"Yeah." Ibis nodded casually, not caring about his heart.

Surman added: "After we buy furniture, we will go to the market and go to the butcher shops, bakeries... to buy our food for the next week. In addition, when I cook the food tonight, you will be studying next to you."

Yi Bisi's eyes lit up, and the little throat under her fair neck sniffed slightly, and she hurriedly agreed: "Okay!"

Ring ding ding ding ding !

At this time, the doorbell rang downstairs, interrupting the communication between the two.

Who? I came to visit so early, and I clearly didn't know many people...Surman thought for a while and roughly guessed the identity of the visitor. He swallowed the bread in his hand, got up and went downstairs.

"You clean up the dining table."

“…………”

Under Ibis' resentful gaze, Surman came to the gate downstairs. As soon as he opened it, he saw a middle-aged man wearing a black coat and a half-height silk top hat. His facial features were round and his face was familiar, standing in front of him.

——It is Chris Sharp, a director-level member of the Lionheart Chamber of Commerce.

"Good morning, Mr. Surman."

"Please forgive my adventurous visit..." Chrisf stretched out his hand with a friendly smile. However, Surman stared at him and found that Chrisf's face was slightly pale, and the other hand that drooped beside him was pinching the corner of his clothes from time to time.

Chrisf was very nervous...Surman smelled the smell of "question". There was no way. As a pioneer in his previous life, he had developed an extremely keen sense of plot. For example, the [Strange Eye Core] last night was not thought about using "Endless Dream" to explore its origin, but Surman realized that this was the biggest difference between him and ordinary players.

Surman looked behind the other party and found that Chrisf came in a carriage with a badge with a "Lion Fur" pattern hanging on the carriage. Obviously, this was the carriage of the Lionheart Chamber of Commerce, not a temporary bus rented on the road, so the other party also came on behalf of business.

"If there is anything, let's get in the car and talk about it."

"Thanks."

Chrisf understood what he meant, hurriedly opened the car door and led Surman into the carriage himself. Then, he twisted his fat body and climbed into the carriage with difficulty.

"Let's go to the Hall of Hope."

Hearing Chrisf's instructions to the coachman, Surman's heart moved, Hope Hall, this is a famous building in Gangdian City.

It is located in the middle section of the Tyre River. On the left is the ‘Day and Night Bridge’, which is related to the dividing line between the Jazz District and the Steelmaking District. On the right is the entrance street of Huangdian District. Just the location can be called the commercial center in the Steeldian City. It is an absolute prime location, and every inch of land is valuable.

On this land that is more expensive than gold, the Hope Hall occupies a large area. It is the structure of an opera house with a plural floor, but it is larger than an opera house. It is usually used as a stage for artists and charges high fees. At the same time, it also requires rental qualifications. If it is not famous enough, it cannot be rented even if it has money. This is the highest hall that artists in Gangdian City dream of.

In addition, Hope Hall has another function, which is a grand ceremony held every year in the cold soil of the north.

——Northern Auction.

Sure enough, after watching Chrisff get in the car, the latter was extremely eager and took the initiative to talk about the topic: "Mr. Surman, have you successfully obtained the qualification of a bounty hunter? I encountered some trouble. I want to entrust you to take action on the Northern Auction......"

Surman did not speak, but took out the iron badge from his arms and wore it on his chest, which was the identity certificate of the Gray Iron Hunter.

Seeing this, Chrisf looked overjoyed: "I knew that this assessment is not a problem for you!"

No, the two weird fog monsters were still a bit tricky...Surman did not explain the details to him, and quietly waited for the other party's follow-up. Sure enough, after Chrisf was delighted, he took out the red wine from the dark square below and poured a glass of Surman attentively.

"About the Northern Auction, as a person who grew up in the cold soil of the north, no matter the elderly or children, they must have heard of it." Chrisf did not forget to pour himself a cup, and drank it like a decompression, and breathed a sigh of relief: "Every civilized city-state will hold a 'Northern Auction' on the eve of the cold wave coming, which is a traditional festival for the upper class.

On this day, no matter what source of goods it is, as long as it is worth enough, it can be placed at the Northern Auction."

"Haha, whether it is precious and rare goods or... living humans."

"The goods that are not allowed in the Code on weekdays can also be recognized by the auction, and are only for this day."

Chrisf probably thought of something and said gratefully to Surman: "Fortunately, you took action, otherwise we have become a source of goods. With the channels of the White Wolf Group, they have some ways to hide the inspection and even bribe the city guards. The result is unimaginable."

"So, the punishment for you by the Lionheart Chamber of Commerce is related to the Northern Auction?" Surman suddenly interrupted.

"right."

Chrisf smiled bitterly: "Due to my poor decision-making, the entire caravan has been in a major crisis and suffered reputational losses. It is easy for those travelers who have no background to say, but two are descendants of nobles. Their complaints have made me embarrassed."

If you know that there is a hidden identity daughter of the priest in the caravan, the only legitimate daughter of the Fielding family, Ibis, and the absconded descendants of the Stuart family, I don’t know if you can still laugh...Surmann murmured, of course, he also knew the other party’s motives.

It seems that the Northern Auction is about to be held, and the Lionheart Chamber of Commerce has received some security tasks, but this job is not easy to do. It is nothing to do, and it is a good idea to take responsibility for any mistakes. It is generally not the turn of Chrisf to be promoted to a senior director to take over. However, his mistakes make the promotion worry, and he is now going to make up for it.

Sure enough, Chrisff's statement is consistent with Surman's speculation-

"Including the Lionheart Chamber of Commerce, all five chambers of commerce in Gangdian City have received requests from employers."

"The Lionheart Chamber of Commerce threw this matter to me..."

"My men, capable people, have lost a lot of money in the attack of the White Wolf Group, so I can only ask you for help."

Surman nodded slightly. He owed the other party a small favor. In terms of obtaining the qualification to be a bounty hunter and finding a house in the city, it was all Chrisff who used his relationship. Of course, Surman also saved the other party's life. Strictly speaking, it can be considered as not owe anyone favors.

But considering that the Lion Heart Chamber of Commerce has been operating in Gangdian City for many years, he first arrived in Gangdian City. Even if he had memories of his previous life, some places still needed local snakes to make a good relationship with the Lion Heart Chamber of Commerce, which is very helpful to him at present.

The most important point,

The security tasks of the Northern Auction are definitely rewarded, but they are not sure, and they will have the favorability of local forces. Once the favorability meets the standards, you do not need to join the camp and you can also gain certain privileges.

In addition to these benefits, there is also the experience value of the mission reward, which is also urgently needed by Surman.

Thinking of this, Surman nodded slightly at Chrisf: "Yes, as your client, I will help you complete the Chamber of Commerce's mission indicators. However, I am a little curious. For such an important thing, don't the nobles in Gangdian City look for the bounty guild?"

As the number one force of employment, it is obvious that the Bounty Guild should consider them first.

Hearing this, Chrisf smiled bitterly: "Why didn't you look for it? However, the Bounty Guild told us that their president and the tourer were working together to hunt down the descendants of the Stuart family and had no time to deal with this matter. The remaining two silver hunters, one was on a mission outside, and the other heard that they came back last night, but they seemed to be seriously injured. I'm afraid she wanted to recuperate and was unwilling to accept the commission..."

This matter also seems to be related to me...Surmann is very self-aware and doesn't ask any further questions.

During the next journey, the two of them were speechless. Surman took this opportunity to submit the task triggered yesterday, which is to kill two fog monsters, and gained another 700 experience rewards.

Unfortunately, due to the help of the indigenous people in the mission, Katy, Scarce and others have put in a lot of strength, resulting in the completion rate not exceeding 90%, and only 78%. From the perspective of professional players, it is also very good.

After all, not every task can reach more than 90%. In fact, even professional players in their previous lives may not necessarily have a task that can reach more than 90% every month. It would be nice to encounter it once every two months.

Therefore, 90% completion is an absolute watershed. Even ordinary tasks will have amazing rewards once completed.

Unfortunately, the "character level must not be higher than the task difficulty". This alone has limited a large number of people who want to use high levels to improve the completion level, and those who can often do this are worthy of being called "land pioneers".

While he was thinking, suddenly, the carriage in front of him stopped. Chrisf opened the door tactfully and led Surman out of the car.

After landing, the two looked up and saw an extremely glorious opera house-style hall in front of them.

This is the Hall of Hope.
Chapter completed!
