Online Game: Super Beast Tamer

Chapter 33 Barbecue
After Zhuojiu Jinhuan came into contact with Su Ming, he learned that Su Ming wanted to become a professional player, so he spent some time sorting out the ways in which professional players make money, which included the mention of intermediaries.

The so-called intermediary is like a star’s agent or a company’s salesperson. They are the people who help professional players contact customers and handle “logistics”.

The qualification that Su Ming asked about was not a certification qualification, but more like a professional skill related to the job.

If you want to become an intermediary, you must have enough customer resources. Only in this way can you help professional players, and professional players are also happy to cooperate with such intermediaries.

Selling equipment, contacting businesses, and even providing professional players with some mission clues are all within the scope of the intermediary's job scope.

With the help of an intermediary, professional players can have more time to improve themselves and thus obtain higher profits.

Usually, intermediaries contact professional players, wanting to be their intermediaries, and then obtain the equipment in the hands of professional players and ask them to help handle customer needs.

Only a player like Su Ming, who aims to be a professional player but has not yet become famous, would suddenly find someone to be his agent without thinking...

Of course, they would look for a more famous intermediary, and Venus, whom Su Ming was looking for, was not among them.

In fact, Venus has never been an intermediary.

Moreover, as the person in charge of the Dream Guild in Thornroot City, Venus is herself a client of some intermediaries.

"What qualifications are required to be a middleman?" Venus asked.

"You need to know a lot of people." Su Ming said.

"Then I do know a lot of people, so I should be able to act as an intermediary." Venus raised her eyes slightly, looked at the serious Su Ming, and asked, "Do you want to be a professional player?"

"Ah."

“But you are only level 13, and the highest-level players now are level 23. Even if I contact the business, you can’t do it.” Venus said with a smile.

"I know a quick way to level up. I'll catch up with them soon." Su Ming said.

"Okay, I'll give it a try," Venus said. "As for the equipment, I can definitely help you sell it quickly, but I can't be sure about other business. Maybe I can't even get one or two in a month."

Su Ming didn't care. The key to the amount of business was not Venus, but himself, which was positively correlated with the reputation of the professional player. When he became stronger, he would not have to worry about not getting business. As long as Venus could help him deal with the details of the cooperation process, it would be fine.

Su Ming felt inexplicably relieved that Venus agreed. He always felt that Venus was a very reliable person. With her as his intermediary, he would have less trouble in the future. At least he would not be cheated when selling things like before.

Su Ming extended his hand to Venus and said with a hearty smile:

"It's okay, happy cooperation."

Venus also reached out her hand to Su Ming, but when she was about to hold his hand, she slapped Su Ming's hand away.

In Su Ming's suspicious eyes, she smiled helplessly:
"Sign the contract first, little idiot. This is a monetary transaction. How can you be happy without signing the contract? Do you really think that my sister belongs to you?"

Afterwards, Venus pulled out the contract template from the system, approached Su Ming, explained the terms one by one to the blushing Su Ming, and signed the contract with him.

There are three copies of the contract, one for Venus, one for Su Ming, and one for the system.

In terms of profit, Venus made concessions because she thought she was just playing with the children.

In the future, Venus will take 1% of the gold coins from the equipment she helps Su Ming sell, and she will take 15% of the commission from the business she helps Su Ming contact.

Compared with normal circumstances, the discounts are 2% and 10% respectively.

If Venus's level as an intermediary is above the qualified level, this would be an enviable contract.

----

After Venus left, Su Ming felt that he had taken a big step towards becoming a professional player, and he became more motivated to catch bubble porpoises.

When the lake water turned dark, Su Ming returned to the camp. After completing the task, his contribution points reached 110 points.

Next to the campfire, the camp captain Gunettes was still grilling fish. Su Ming walked over and spent 10 gold coins to buy a lantern fish hat before mentioning the high-quality tail meat:
"The guard at the door said that only you can cook the hindquarters deliciously, and asked me to give them to you."

Gunnatus took the hindquarters meat, bent down, and put it under the firelight to examine it. The hindquarters meat was crystal clear and appeared orange in the firelight. He spoke in a hoarse voice:
"It is indeed a rare ingredient. Thank you. If you like, you can stop and taste my cooking."

"Okay, thank you." Su Ming sat down on his knees next to Gunites, hugging his knees and resting his chin on Xiao Hei.

System: You have completed the "High-quality Meat Processing" task, obtained 20 points of contribution to the Babu Lake Camp, and gained 500000 experience points.

Su Ming killed monsters for a whole day and his experience bar was almost full. After gaining experience from the mission, Su Ming was upgraded to level 14.

At level 14, Su Ming upgraded "Coordinated Offense" to level 3 (actually level 4), with 7 skill points remaining.

The flames swayed in the wind, the hindquarters sizzled on the skewers, and the aroma of the oil and water filled the air.

If Su Ming hadn't been wearing a strange lantern fish hat, his eager look would have been no different from the NPCs around him.

Gunnets turned the branches carefully. Suddenly, he raised his hand to move the hindquarters away from the campfire. Although it was away from the campfire, flames were still dancing on the hindquarters.

Gunnets grabbed a small shield and fanned the fire, putting it out, and the flesh on his hind end turned into a pile of ashes.

With a gloomy face, he grabbed the second piece of high-quality tail meat and grilled it without saying a word.

He was more careful, but still failed.

There was a second pile of ashes on the ground.

The third piece... the fourth piece...

Gunnets's face became more and more gloomy. All the NPCs around him had been scared away. Only Su Ming was waiting beside him with an expectant look on his face.

Su Ming really wanted to eat.

He hasn't tasted delicious food for three years.

The tenth piece of high-quality tail meat burned up in the night.

Gunnets was stunned. He seemed to feel ashamed. He stood up without saying a word and turned around to leave.

"What a pity." Su Ming sighed.

When Gunnets heard Su Ming's words, he turned his head slightly.

Xiao Hei, who had been quietly lying on Su Ming's lap, suddenly jumped to the ground, tasted the ashes, and then his eyes turned into crosses, and his round body collapsed.

System: Your pet Xiao Hei is poisoned. Its upper limit of health is reduced by 5% for 1 minute.

"Xiao Hei! Why are you eating randomly?" Su Ming ran over and picked up Xiao Hei.

"Because the things I just baked smelled so good, I wanted to try it." Xiao Hei said.

"Greedy ghost," Su Ming put Xiao Hei next to the campfire and wiped the ashes from its mouth with the firelight, "But I also want to know what it tastes like."

After watching the farce, Gunnaits spoke. Although his face was serious and a little scary, his words were very gentle:
"Do you really want to eat?"

"Really?" Su Ming nodded.

"Then go find me some high-quality tail meat." Gunnets threw a package to Su Ming and said, "There is a sachet inside. Open it near the island in the middle of Babu Lake and you will be able to attract the elite bubble porpoises. You can collect high-quality tail meat from them.

If you are lucky, you will be able to taste it tomorrow."

System: You accepted the random task "For Food!".
