Chapter 163: Jianghu People 1

  Three chapters in a row

  ——————

  From another perspective, the Jianghu People's Alliance is the largest intelligence agency on the entire continent. As long as you pay, you can get any information you want. As long as someone knows it on this continent, they can dig it up.

  Of course, there are also some things that can't be done, but this cannot stop them from being authoritative in this aspect!!

  And intelligence is just one of the businesses of the Jianghu people's alliance, they will undertake anything, as long as they are paid, they will release tasks, of course, not illegal, at least not obviously illegal.

  Murder and arson are things that the Jianghu people's alliance does not do, because they want to maintain the Jianghu people's alliance can reappear in a positive light, can appear in any country.

  Of course, there is a kind of killing task that is acceptable, that is the wanted list. This has official rewards and private rewards, possibly several officials and several private individuals. However, none of these need to be bothered by Jianghu people, the alliance will collect all of them.

  "How could I not have thought of this? Since there's nothing to do, just work part-time here. After all, people in the Jianghu settle accounts task by task!!" Xiao Yao patted his own forehead, then dove into the crowd and back into the house.

  The people outside are not queuing up, they are just looking at the task announcement board outside, not waiting in line to do things!

  Although a large number of tasks are released every day and a large number of tasks are settled, this will not cause people to queue up in large numbers.

  "I want to join the alliance!!" After entering freely, I found the registration staff and asked to join the organization.

  "This is a form, you take it and fill in the information yourself." The registration staff took a look at Xiao Yao, then handed over a form, letting Xiao Yao go to one side to fill it out.

  Joining Jianghu People Alliance is simple, just need a form, even if it's casually filled out, you can still join!!

  This is because primary Jianghu people, apart from being able to receive tasks, have no other rights, which is equivalent to having an extra laborer, and any organization would not refuse.

  And then just complete a few more tasks. At a certain point in time, the Jianghu People's Alliance will slightly review the information and grant the right to upgrade!

  This is said to be an assessment, but it's also a formality. There isn't much fuss about it, because every time you upgrade, it's the accumulation of tasks, and these accumulations require a lot of time and effort. This is also a contribution to the Jianghu People Alliance, no matter what your purpose is, these contributions are real, as long as there are contributions, the Jianghu People Alliance will give corresponding rights.

  This is also because the Jianghu people's alliance will not lean towards any organization. It has always been neutral, and since it is so, how can they care about which faction their own Jianghu people belong to, even whether they are good or evil?

  Those with high-level Jianghu people have a very high contribution degree, and the alliance will not give up on them. On the other hand, those with low levels do not have many rights and can only share some easily accessible information, which is of no concern to the alliance.

  Therefore, the Jianghu people's alliance management of Jianghu people is actually very loose, but due to the strict hierarchy system, in some aspects, it is also very strict.

  If someone wants to take advantage of the Jianghu people's alliance, they must first pay the price. Doing things for the Jianghu people's alliance means that there is a benefit exchange between the two parties from the very beginning. The Jianghu people's alliance will not suffer losses, and they would be delighted if everyone had ulterior motives to help them do things.

  "Leisurely? This name seems to already exist, and also, the occupation is a household servant, the level of ability hasn't broken through the basics, they're all the same. Have you ever registered before?" When Leisurely finished filling out the form, the registration personnel checked and found that Leisurely's name had been recorded long ago.

  "Ah, I think I did a few quests in Qingyun City before, during my free time, to earn some extra money! Is it the same here?" At this point, Xiao Yao suddenly remembered that he had joined the Jianghu People's Alliance a long, long time ago and done a few quests.

  "It's the same! You use your token to receive tasks, the token is unique, you haven't lost it, have you? If you lose it, then apply for a new one, but you'll need to pay a fee of one or two silver coins. The production cost of this token is very high!!" The registration staff said fluently, as if he had already said this more than once.

  "It's not lost, it's in my bag!" Xiangyao quickly retrieved the token from his cloth bag, on which was written "Xiangyao" and the number 377.

  377, it's not that the earlier the number of a carefree person is, even if the Jianghu People Alliance had just been established, a carefree person wouldn't be possible as the 377th person, let alone the Jianghu People Alliance has been passed down for thousands of years.

  377 is the exclusive number for the name Yue Xiangyang. In simple terms, it means that he was the 377th person named Yue Xiangyang to join the Jianghu People Alliance.

  The Jianghu people's alliance is to divide people by adding a name and a number, generally the number behind is only used when recording tasks or querying identities, usually still calling names directly rather than numbers.

  Because the surname Yue is not very common, and the name is also the same, so it's just 377. Otherwise, it would be like a name like Li Hu, with a six-digit number.

  "West City's Yuan official lost a cat, mission level: primary, reward: one or two taels!"

  "East City's Qian Boss wants someone to protect him for three days, the task level is temporarily secondary, anyone who knows martial arts can take it, the reward is ten taels of silver."

  "Food for Heaven needs a dishwasher, pay 500 copper coins..."

  "Yi Hongyuan needs a handsome young man who can dance and play music, salary thirty taels..."

  ……

  That's all for today's task announcement, there are all kinds of tasks, even temporary workers in wine houses, the most profitable one is to go to Yihongyuan as a temporary dancer, of course, whether to sell or not to sell yourself depends on you.

  These are all tasks that Xiao Yao can accept, but because Xiao Yao is currently only a first-class Jianghu person, he cannot accept tasks above level three unless there are special requirements or no level restrictions, such as capturing wanted criminals.

  Xiaoyao thought for a moment and accepted several tasks at once, as they were all in the same direction. He could do them simultaneously, which was his usual habit of doing things efficiently.

  Next is the sweeping task, doing these things, Xiao Yao is good at it, completing a dozen tasks in one day is not a problem, however, it's impossible for an area to have so many tasks, running around would waste time.

  Like this, Xiao Yao ran for more than a dozen days on the task and soon upgraded Jiang Hu Ren's level to second-level. The tasks he could receive were also slightly higher in level, but they were still miscellaneous.

  Then, Xiao Yao continued sweeping until...

  "Hey, you little rabbit, actually playing Jianghu people's mission!" The long princess appeared in front of Xiao Yao, grabbing his ear and saying angrily, "Have you been hiding from me for a while now!!"

  “……”

  During this period of time, he had been running errands non-stop. He didn't deliberately conceal his whereabouts; he knew that Princess Chang would find him sooner or later, and this was also the outcome he wanted to see for himself.

  Xiaoyao has been hiding from the Crown Prince for so long, it's about time they meet again. After all, he also wants to know about the progress of his own life!

  As for this point, Princess Chang also thought of it, so although she was angry, she wasn't that furious.

  "Ah, Princess Chang..." Xiao Yao's face showed a surprised expression.

  "Hmph!" The Eldest Princess hummed in discontent, her dissatisfaction directed at Xiao Yao's form of address.

  "Empress Dowager... Auntie, how did you end up here?" Xiao Yao casually asked, although he already knew the answer, but still habitually made a polite inquiry.

  "Of course I'm here for you, you've been hiding from me for more than half a year, when do you want to hide until?"

  "Is it half a year? No way, at most five months..."

  "I don't remember clearly, anyway I think it's been more than half a year, what's your opinion?"

  "No objection!"

  Can Xiao Yao have an opinion? No, because he is facing the Princess's Highness.

  "Come with me! Don't do these meaningless tasks, you don't need to." When she saw Xiao Yao being so "well-behaved", the Princess was very pleased and pulled him away.

  "Your Highness, Princess Consort, where are you taking me? Can I finish today's task first?" Xiao Yao asked weakly, thinking that he might not be able to complete his task for the day.

  "Wait until I go crazy, then you can complete your task. Now I warn you, don't think about running away after I go crazy, or I'll make sure you die a terrible death!! Also, the time when I'm crazy, I can allow you to do Jianghu tasks, but remember to come back home before I wake up, otherwise... humph!" The long princess said, pulling on Xiao Yao.

  "Alright, I see! Your Highness, how long have you been awake?" asked Xiao Yao.

  "One day at a time!"

  "Great, I can finally be free tomorrow..."

  “……”

  "You little rascal..."

  Xiaoyao was caught by Princess Chang and taken into the palace. This time, he didn't plan to run away again, or rather, when Princess Chang was sober, he had no intention of running.

  Anyway, it's just two days out of seven to accompany her, and in fact, she only needs to show up once on those two days. The princess can't possibly restrict her from going out every day.

  So, Xiangyang temporarily stayed in the imperial palace, living for seven days and two days, usually doing tasks crazily. It wasn't until a month later that he raised his Jianghu person level to fourth grade, during which he also completed several very impressive tasks and received high praise.

  In fact, Xiao Yao's mission evaluation is very high because he takes everything seriously and is much better than the average Jianghu person!!!

  After reaching the fourth level of Jianghu, Xiao Yao can share more intelligence and receive more rewarding tasks. Although some tasks require going out for several days, Xiao Yao usually declines them and prefers to wander around the city, which may result in lower rewards but saves time and allows him to complete other tasks on the side.
