This Summoner Is Too Powerful

Chapter 723: Chapter 507: The Mayor’s Massive Payout

After resting in the dormitory for a night, Li Pu planned to sleep in.

When he woke up, he found himself already in the Cube Cards Metaverse.

In front of him, Ah Yajun was still lying on the ground, snoring away.

During the last trip to the Metaverse, the two had logged out together.

Looking around, he saw they were in the middle of a busy road.

With people coming and going and occasional carts passing by, it was clearly not safe to sleep here.

So he didn’t wake Ah Yajun and turned to leave.

"Oh geez!"

After taking just five steps, the guy was jolted awake and quickly caught up.

"Where are we adventuring today?"

As soon as Ah Yajun caught up, he asked Li Pu.

Although officially they were testers looking for bugs, everyone had different reasons for visiting the Metaverse.

His own goal was just to adventure around and document his experiences.

After some observation, following Li Pu seemed the most interesting.

They often explored places where magical beasts gathered, yet never faced personal safety issues.

After all, once the Dragon Card Group was out, no monster could stop them.

"Going to make some money, quick money."

Li Pu replied like that.

"Are we hitting the cards again today?"

Ah Yajun immediately thought of the Demon Man Card Shop.

The only card shop in town.

Yes, the only one.

Last time, with the opportunity of [Sapphire Satin Demon], the Demon Man owner successfully beat the other two competitors in town, acquiring them in the process.

However, acquiring two shops left their cash flow quite tight.

They couldn’t buy Li Pu’s cards outright anymore.

Had to revert to consignment, like everyone else.

Sell first, split the proceeds with the shop after sales.

Given Li Pu’s special status, the Demon Man owner would not take a commission, meaning he’d help for free, and whatever is sold is all for Li Pu.

But the payment speed of this process is extremely unstable; it depends on when the card gets sold.

So Li Pu wasn’t considering it today.

He wanted the proceeds from this three-day Metaverse trip to be ready to exchange with Xiu Cang Jia.

"Then, want to check out the agency house?"

After hearing Li Pu’s explanation, Ah Yajun suggested.

With the 100 million Cubic Coins exchanged from Li Pu, Xiu Cang Jia successfully opened a branch business in Lanlan Town.

Considering Lanlan Town’s unique geographical location and future development potential, she decided to make this the flagship store.

"Alright, let’s go have a look."

Li Pu nodded, agreeing with Ah Yajun’s view.

From finding cats and dogs to exploring magical beast gathering spots, the agency house had it all.

They weren’t far from the agency house, just a street away.

Upon reaching the agency house, it always felt bustling and lively.

In front of every notice, there was basically someone standing.

Every time a staff member came over to post a new notice, it would draw everyone’s attention.

The notices mainly divided into trading information and task postings, and the tasks were what Li Pu wanted to see.

Xiu Cang Jia’s agency house was not new to them; when they wanted to explore new magical beast gathering places, they’d come take on some tasks that could be done along the way.

Tasks like specific magical beast card collection or updating related map information.

However, Li Pu didn’t hold much hope, since the rewards offered by these tasks weren’t high, at least not meeting his demands.

This time, he mostly wanted to see if there were any new and lucrative tasks that appeared while he was away.

He heard before that in a drunken stupor, the mayor once posted a task to attack a neighboring city, offering quite a high reward.

Unfortunately, everyone treated it as a joke; no one accepted it, and even if someone did, they probably couldn’t complete it.

When he sobered up, he quickly withdrew it.

"A lot of new tasks, but they’re all places we’ve explored before."

"The total bounty isn’t even 10,000."

Following along the notices, Ah Yajun quickly showed a disappointed expression.

If even he wasn’t interested, Li Pu would be even less so.

"Everyone, make way, make way."

Just then, a staff member came over with a container of paste and a scroll of new notices.

Seeing a new task about to be posted, everyone in the hall immediately cast curious glances, and people around made way.

The staff member swiftly posted the notice and then left.

Li Pu and Ah Yajun followed the crowd and gathered around.

"Huh?"

When they saw the task issuer, Li Pu’s eyebrow raised.

He didn’t expect it to be issued by Mayor Ji Baimang.

In his memory, apart from that drunken incident, there was only one other time a proper notice was issued in the agency house.

Strictly speaking, that wasn’t even a task, but a trading request.

Wanting to exchange some dragon cards for battle cards, or similar.

This time, it was the second instance.

As for the content...

It was indeed novel, never appearing before in the agency house.

"Town Guard Recruitment, hiring temporary workers?"

Next to him, Ah Yajun read out the notice title.

Turns out, it was a notice from the town guard looking to hire more hands.

Moreover, the offered salary was quite high, though not as stable as the internal staff, the theoretical maximum was higher and the schedule was very flexible.
